Tadu Novel App, a completely open source and free online novel website

On Earth, the sun you see is the same. The rising sun not only illuminates the mountains in the Jinzhou Isthmus in the northeast, but also catches cold in the streets and buildings of Tokyo, Japan.

The time zone adopted by Japan was one hour earlier than China. At around 8:40 in the morning, the car stopped outside the Army Province. Nagata Tetsuyama, who had just been promoted to colonel, walked out of the Army Province and entered the car. Among the Japanese army, the colonel was the highest military rank among the front-line personnel. However, if you want to have your own car, you must become a general or the title of "Your Excellency".

But who is Nagata Tetsuyama? In the Japanese army, he is recognized as the next generation of Japanese army leader like Toshiro Obata. Even if he does not have such an identity, with Nagata Tetsuyama's connections in the army, he can always get a car when he is in urgent need of vehicles.

Nagata Tetsuyama got into the car, and Okamura Yasujinaga, who was following him, also got into the car. Then Nagata Tetsuyama ordered the driver: "Go to the General Staff."

When the car started to drive, Nakasaokamura Nagaji asked, "Naoda, why don't you tell General Tanaka what you think?"

"Is it useful?" Nagata Tetsuyama replied briefly.

Now Okamura Yasuji didn't say anything. More than ten minutes ago, Okamura Yasuji was promoted to the position of Nagata Tetsuyama together. The Minister of the Army and Minister of the Ministry of Justice Tanaka Yoichikaru gave Nagata Tetsuyama a new position. The second officer of the Military Forces Department of the North Korean Army stationed in the Korean Army immediately took office. Okamura Yasuji was adjutant of Nagata Tetsuyama, and went to North Korea with Nagata Tetsuyama.

Okamura Yasuji thought that the Nagata Tengshan Association immediately convened the comrades of the "Neiye Association" to give instructions on the war, but he did not expect that Nagata Tengshan would go to see the Chief of Staff at the first time. In this emergency situation, Nagata Tengshan did find a way to get a car to save time. But even so, Okamura Yasuji still felt that Nagata Tengshan was "too good at being a human being".

But Nagata Tetsuyama didn't care what Okamura was thinking at this time. He first went to see the General Secretary of the Staff, Yuuharu, and informed Uehara to General with a very sincere attitude. He even said humbly: "The subordinates are talented and knowledgeable. Before leaving, they specially asked Uehara to give advice."

Although Uehara Yukita was not in the way of General Tanaka Yoichiro, seeing Nagata Tetsuyama so tactful, he also smiled happily: "Nagata is so polite. Everyone in the army praised your talents."

Nagata Tengshan lowered his head slightly, "Your Excellency, although you are wrongly loved by everyone, you are a little bit famous. However, you have never participated in the war and all your reputation is false. You have experienced many battles between the Qing Dynasty and the Northeast. You are going to North Korea this time. Please give me some advice."

Seeing Nagata Tetsuyama's low posture, Uehara Yuki said with satisfaction: "Nagata, He Rui may be a talent, but the pillars of the Great Japanese Empire will never be weaker than him. Young people don't need to envy He Rui. He just used the chaos in China's internal affairs to steal the status of the Northeast. Over the past few years, He Rui used the situation between the world and China, and seemed to be proud of everything, but in fact he was so proud. He actually started a war against the Great Japanese Empire, and his death was right in front of him. Manchu and Mongolia are the lifeline of the Great Japanese Empire. This time Nagata went to Korea to support the front line to fight bravely and lay a foundation for the empire..."

Okamura Yasuji knew very well that General Uehara Yuki was a radical and had always strongly advocated expansion to the outside world. This cliché was the only one. But Okamura Yasuji could no longer accept these nonsense, so he lowered his head and pretended to listen carefully.

Nagata Tetsuyama looked at Uehara Yuki with a sincere face. When the general finished speaking, Nagata Tetsuyama immediately stood attentively and saluted, "Your Excellency, please keep your teachings in mind. When you have the chance, you will definitely fight hard. Please see what you are doing."

General Uehara Yuzusa nodded and then encouraged: "Naoda, I wish you a long-lasting martial arts fortune."

After saying that, Uehara Yuzuki turned to Okamura Yasuji, "Okamura, you have to strive forward!"

After leaving the General Staff Headquarters, Nagata Tengyama continued to drive to visit several military bosses. Okamura Yasuji was a little disdainful of Nagata Tengyama's humility and sincerity, but seeing the condescending bosses showing satisfaction and saying words that would support Nagata Tengyama, Okamura Yasuji's mood changed a little.

The military bosses generally believe that Nagata Tengshan has a leader temperament and can get the support of so many big shots, including the support of the Changzhou faction bosses whom Nagata Tengshan and the comrades of the Niye Association vowed to defeat. Even if it is verbal support, only Nagata Tengshan can do it among the younger generation.

Moreover, when Nagata Tetsuyama met the boss, he did not forget to introduce Okamura Yasuji to the bosses, and praised Okamura Yasuji as an outstanding soldier with a long-term vision and a first-class tactician in the empire. Whether out of politeness or interest, the bosses would talk to Okamura Yasuji for a few words.

Okamura Yasuji knew that this was Nagata Tetsuyama's kindness. How many people do the big guys meet every day? How many people can remember so many people? It is very likely that it will promote Okamura Yasuji's promotion opportunity in the future.

It was about to reach 12 o'clock, Nagata Tetsuyama returned home first and changed into a kimono. Then he took the bus to Takahashi's Kiyoshi's house.

Although Takahashi was famous, he was regarded as the spokesperson for the interests of the United Kingdom and the United States among Japanese school officials and the guardian of Japanese exporters. If it weren't for those morning visits and their mental power was consumed too much, Okamura Yasuji would have wanted to tell Nagata Tetsuyama that there was no need to bow to such a traitor.

The car was parked outside the Qingmen Gate of the Minister of the Tibetan Takahashi. Nagata Tetsuyama took out his pocket watch and looked at it, whispering: "It's a little bit."

Okamura Yasuji thought Nagata Tengshan was thinking about the battle situation in Kanto Prefecture and was estimating the time. Last night, Okamura Yasuji discussed the battle situation with Nagata Tengshan, believing that today is the most important day for the Kanto Army. If the Kanto Army could defend the Isthmus of Jinzhou today, the Northeast Army would never have been able to capture Lushun.

Seeing Nagata Tetsuyama looking at the time, Okamura Yasuji was about to talk about the battle situation. But seeing Takahashi's gate opened, the maid came out. Seeing Nagata Tetsuyama and Okamura Yasuji arrived, the maid stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mr. Nagata, we agreed to meet again, you are really on time."

Yongtian Tieshan smiled and said, "I wanted to go five minutes in advance, but I didn't expect that the time was still stuck. It would be fine if I didn't delay things."

It turned out that 1 pm was not the key point of the battle, but the agreed time with Takahashi. Okamura Yasuji felt like a big fool, so he shut up and said nothing, and decided not to say another word before the end of today's visit.

At this moment, on the battlefield where Okamura Yasuji was concerned, the sound of gunfire, the sound of killing and explosions caused the entire battlefield to fall into an almost crazy state.

The commander of the Kanto Army's Second Brigade was commanding the battle on the last line of defense. A whistling sound came from the air, and the Northeast Army's bombers arrived over the sky and dropped a new round of bombs on the high ground where the commander of the Kanto Army was located.

The entire morning, from 8 a.m., the Second Brigade had not known how many rounds of bombings had been experienced. Brigade Commander Shangjo immediately ordered: "The troops are ready, and the enemy is about to start attacking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whistling sound of shells cutting through the air came to the high ground. All the Japanese officers and soldiers began to hide. The Japanese observer performed their responsibilities regardless of life and death. Amid the explosion, the observer shouted desperately: "The enemy has arrived at the foot of the mountain and started to attack the high ground! The distance is...230 meters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whistling sound of bombs landing. The violent explosion forced the Japanese army to avoid it for a while. The Northeast Army did not drop bombs together, but dropped bombs one by one, extending the bombing time. The commander of the Hanjo Brigade was not ignorant of the aircraft, and many people in the Japanese army were very interested in such new weapons.

According to the enthusiasts in the army, "Now you don't have to count on the bombing capabilities of the plane now." However, after saying this, those people will continue to say, "The aircraft will definitely develop the ability to bomb accurately."

Major General Kamijo was not interested in the impulsive words of these young people. And so far, neither Japanese nor Northeast Army aircraft have shown the ability to drop bombs accurately.

The officers of the Second Brigade of the Kwantung Army were not unaware of the world. After early surprise, they gradually got used to bombing and continued to act regardless of the situation under the leadership of the officers.

However, the Northeast Army's use of bombers is simple and crude, and very effective. Before artillery shelling, the bombers continuously dropped bombs on the Japanese positions. The Japanese firepower points directly destroyed by these bombs were unlucky, but the single-piece bombs flying across the bombs can cause regional killing. Many troops suffered considerable damage during the operation. The bombing of the plane played a role in harassing and restricting the Japanese operations, while the Northeast Army's artillery carried out quite precise shelling when the aircraft bombed.

Even if the Japanese army withstood these two bombardments, when the planes and cannons stopped attacking a certain high ground, the Northeast Army soldiers who had already taken the opportunity to start attacking would move to the nearest attack distance at the moment when the Japanese army was limited in their movements.

These soldiers held submachine guns that could be fired continuously and fought in small groups. Behind the attacking infantry were machine guns, whether they were infantry or machine guns, they used continuous firepower to attack the Japanese army. The high ground occupied by the Japanese army continued to fall under such a situation.

The commander of the Gunjoo Brigade has no longer considered the possibility of leaving alive. The commander of the Kanto Army, Lieutenant General Kawahika, wanted the commander of the Gunjo brigade to defend at least 24 hours and gain time for the defenders of Lushun and Dalian. So far, there are 44 hours left before the estimated 72 hours, and the Northeast Army has enough time to prepare for conquering Lushun.

At this moment, the Northeast Army's attack began. The tall Northeast Army acted extremely nimblely. It seemed that they had received very good training.

The Northeast Army used the available terrain to attack upwards, and the machine gunners fired against the Japanese firepower points, suppressed the Japanese firepower points, and covered the infantry's attack on the back.

The machine gunners on both sides showed extremely tenacious fighting will. The director of the Shangjo Hotel saw several Northeast Army machine gunners in the telescope and immediately pushed away the bodies of the dead machine gunners and continued to fire. Faced with the fierce enemy, the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade also showed amazing tenacity. No matter how many machine gunners were killed, the Japanese army continued to shoot with the Northeast Army.

However, before the tenacious Japanese army completely overwhelmed the enemy, the Northeast Army's artillery shells roared and blew the Japanese machine gun positions into the sky. The Japanese army, who had red eyes, immediately entered other firepower points and began to continue shooting.

After more than ten minutes of battle, the Northeast Army soldiers who attacked the high ground seemed to be unable to hold on and quickly retreated down the mountain.

At this time, the whistling sound of the Northeast Air Force dropping bombs sounded in mid-air again. This sound made Major General Hanjo feel upset and wished to capture a Northeastern bomber immediately and see what parts on the bomb made such a sharp and unpleasant sound.

The bomb landed and the explosion was not loud. However, with the bomb as the center, large areas of dead grass and shrubs actually burned. As the bombers of the Northeast Army continued to drop bombs, the fire points were more and more. It was already autumn, and the grass leaves had begun to wither, and there were winds hanging. The wind took advantage of the fire, and the fire heads rose very quickly.

The commander of the Shangjoo Brigade did not expect that the Northeast Army would actually use fire attack. What era is this? Do you really think that a few fires can ignite a huge area? I have read too much of the Northeast Army commander "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, flames began to spray towards the weeds. In a blink of an eye, the grass and shrubs that took a long time to ignite began to burn. At the same time, the planes of the Northeast Army continued to drop bombs, and more fires appeared on the top of the mountain and on the hillside.

The strong wind blew up thick smoke and hot air, blowing towards the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade in a higher position. Not only the high ground where the commander of the Shangjoong was located, but other high grounds that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also the last line of defense guarded by the Second Brigade ignited fires under several high grounds, and the fire was completely uncontrollable and swept the mountain with the help of the wind.

The commander of the Gujoo brigade could hardly open his eyes at this time. Not only him, but as the fire approached, most Japanese troops were in the same situation as the commander of the Gujoo brigade.

If it was facing a fierce enemy, the commander of the Shangyou Brigade had the courage to lead the troops to persevere. But what was hit was flames. No matter how the Japanese army fired, they could not eliminate the fire. In desperation, the commander of the Shangyou Brigade coughed and issued a painful order to retreat.

The attacking 14th Army did not give up the opportunity of the Japanese defense line. The artillery and the new round of arrival of the air force bombarded violently towards several Japanese positions that had already been determined. The reason for burning those high grounds was that several high grounds that the Japanese army could easily break through could obtain the firepower support of those high grounds. Now the Northeast Army has had a fleeting opportunity, so how could the troops let it go.

It is 12 o'clock in China time now. In just five hours of battle, the casualties of the troops were several times higher than the whole day they fought yesterday. If they could not break the defense line of the Japanese Jinzhou Isthmus and let the Japanese stabilize the front line, the Northeast Army would only suffer greater losses.

The battalion commanders all arrived at the front line, and the company commander and instructors all carried bayonet rifles and fought on the front line.

These officers had at least three and a half years of military experience and all received the training of the officers. If the war had not been so urgent, the 14th Army Command would not have easily put them on the front line and led the attack no matter what.

Jinzhou Isthmus is 4 kilometers wide, and only about three kilometers can be fought. Just at this discontinuous three kilometers wide, the 2nd Regiment of the 14th Army of the Northeast Army and the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Division were fought.

The 2nd Company Commander of the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment saw that the position of the Japanese machine gunners on the opposite side was somewhat exposed, but the machine gunners of the Northeast Army suffered heavy losses, and the deputy shooter was responsible for shooting, and the correct head was a little worse. The 2nd Company Commander pulled the machine gunners and shot himself, and knocked down two groups of Japanese machine gunners in succession. The troops began to attack quickly when the Japanese firepower was weak.

At this moment, the hidden firepower point of the Japanese army had to start shooting, knocking down several soldiers in succession, and suppressing other soldiers so hard that they could not raise their heads. The 2nd Company Commander fired against the Japanese firepower point. The Japanese machine gun had a shield, but although it was hit several times, it failed to knock it out. The 2nd Company Commander was hit by a shuttle bullet and died immediately.

The instructor who succeeded the 2nd company commander was the instructor. As an instructor, it was different from the instructors in a large number of garbage films and TV works in another time and space. Since we were to guide the troops to train and fight, the instructors were much more proficient in equipment than soldiers.

The instructor who succeeded the company commander hit the Japanese shooter, and then he used the exquisite shooting rhythm to almost raise his head. The suppressed Northeast Army offensive team reorganized the team again and continued to attack fiercely. More than ten meters ahead, the grenadier threw several grenades one after another, and the Japanese army in front of him screamed in tears. The grenadier then stood up, regardless of whether he was exposed to the Japanese army's sight. He threw hard, and the grenade drew an elegant arc, flew over a distance of at least 60 meters, and accurately flew into the Japanese fire point. With an explosion, some Japanese troops were even lifted out of the fire point by air waves.

Seeing that the last fire point of the Japanese army was destroyed, the attacking troops picked up their weapons and rushed into the Japanese trenches. However, at the machine gun position below, the medical soldier rushed to rescue the instructor who had been shot for some reason. He turned the instructor's body backwards. The medical soldier saw that blood was gushing from the instructor's chest. I don't know which Japanese rifle bullet hit the instructor's chest. Judging from the position and amount of bleeding, the instructor's heart was afraid that it would be hit.

When the military uniforms, military uniforms, autumn clothes, and underwear were all soaked in blood. In the heart position, a bullet hole was clearly visible.

At this moment, a platoon leader ran up quickly and arrived at the instructor. He was stunned. After a moment, the platoon leader shouted: "Deputy Company Commander, are the Deputy Company Commander?"

No one answered even after shouting a few times. The platoon leader never expected that the company commander and instructor died in battle, and the deputy company commander was nowhere to be seen. Just when he was anxious, a soldier carrying a soldier was carrying him. The soldier carrying the wounded saw the medical staff and quickly put the wounded down. Then he shouted with panting: "Medical Staff, this is our deputy company commander, he is seriously injured!"

The medical staff rushed forward. The platoon leader, who determined the current status of the company-level officer, was at a loss. For so long, the Northeast Army had not participated in the real war. Everyone just knew that all the commanders of the troops were injured and killed, so they should immediately organize a new command group. But that was all about the contents of the learning class. When things really happened, the platoon leader was completely confused.

At this time, the medical officer had already checked the deputy company commander's injuries. The deputy company commander commanded the troops to attack the high ground. He was shot five times in the chest. Although he was not killed directly, his lungs were hit and his blood vessels were injured. Although the deputy company commander still had a breath, he was the last breath. Unless he had an immediate operation, there would be a glimmer of hope.

After the medical staff stopped the bleeding urgently, they were about to ask someone to carry the deputy company commander down the high ground. When they looked up, they saw the platoon leader with a panic and felt angry. So they shouted to the platoon leader: "The company commander and instructor are killed, and the party branch will command the battle! Where are the party members? Where have the party members gone?"

The platoon leader just had no experience. When he heard this, he immediately recalled the organizational regulations and immediately shouted loudly: "Party members gather! Party members gather!"

Just as the medical officer and a soldier carried the deputy company commander and started to go down the high ground, the platoon leader shouted loudly to the gathered members of the Civilized Party: "We will form a company command center now, send people down the mountain to notify the battalion commander, and ask him to send a new company commander over immediately, and others will follow us to continue the attack!"

The medical officer and the soldiers walked down the slope with the deputy company commander on their backs. Faced with the company suffering such losses, the medical officer only hoped that they could get the command of the new company commander as soon as possible.

However, the medical staff did not know that when the battalion commander was also commanding the attack on the front line, he was hit by a Japanese artillery shell, his life was in danger and his life was unpredictable.

The news continued to spread to the troops. Although the two regiment commanders in charge of the attack were not from the same division, their reactions were very similar. They all had to go to the front line in person and command the troops to continue the attack. Faced with the regiment commander who learned that the battalion commander and the battalion political commissar was killed and seriously injured, the regiment staff all said the same thing, "According to the regulations, we should go first."

After saying that, the two League staff members turned to the League Political Commissar, "Political Commissar, let's take over the command."

The Japanese army's defense line in the Isthmus of Jinzhou was in danger, and the Northeast Army's attack was also severely injured and injured. The officers and soldiers of China and Japan gathered towards the center of the fierce battle like moths to the flames. Several mountain highlands that had been lit had completely burned, and thick smoke rushed to the sky.

Lieutenant General Kawahoga, the commander of the Kwantung Army, who was waiting for the latest battle report at the Lushun Fortress, learned about the thick smoke, climbed up the Lushun Fortress, and raised his telescope to look. From here, the burning high ground in the Jinzhou Isthmus was not seen, and the thick smoke was clearly presented in the telescope.

The feeling of unknownness became stronger and stronger in Lieutenant General Kawaka's heart. At this moment, the newly established combat unit at the top of the fortress, the 'Air Observer' shouted loudly: "Report, the enemy's air force is here again!"

When the adjutant heard this, he quickly asked Lieutenant General Kawahisa to return to the fortress first.

Walking into the fortress with a little dim light, Lieutenant General Kawahaga felt a little more intense. At the beginning of the battle in Jinzhou Isthmus, the Northeast Army's planes never came to Lushun again.

Why is the thick smoke that can be seen dozens of kilometers away from the Jinzhou isthmus is coming again? Is the Jinzhou isthmus lost?
