    The sharp roar of hundreds of artillery shells piercing the air woke them up from their sleep in the blink of an eye.

    This has almost become an instinct for them. As long as they hear the whistling of artillery shells, no matter how sweet they sleep, they can wake up instantly.  And such skills are not something they can learn in ordinary training, but need to be accumulated on the battlefield.

    It was a state where the nerves and body were stretched to the limit. Even during sleep, they maintained a high degree of vigilance.

    So those Japanese soldiers had already opened their eyes before those shells landed on their positions.  But that was just opening his eyes. After all, the speed of the shells was too fast, and it had already hit their position by the way.

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    The deafening explosion was like a raging tsunami, drowning the Japanese troops in these positions.

    For a time, the flying shrapnel, the soil kicked up by the explosion, and the blown flesh and blood were all flying in the air, scattered, and then landed on the ground.

    Those Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches were okay. As long as they were not unlucky enough to be hit by artillery shells at close range, they did not have to worry about any danger to their lives.  But many of the Japanese soldiers who were changing defenses were directly turned into corpses in the first round of bombardment.

    Many of the heavy artillery units dispatched by the Soviets this time were large-caliber artillery. The power of these artillery was not comparable to that of the artillery equipped by the Japanese army.

    The entire position was engulfed by artillery fire in the blink of an eye, turning into a Shura field of flames, smoke, and shock waves.

    Five minutes after the Soviet bombardment began, the Japanese bombardment also began.

    They were also bombarding Soviet positions, but the number and power of their artillery were somewhat behind those of the Soviets.  Such bombardment was really not painful for the Soviets.

    For those Japanese troops who were within the shelling range, such a time was often very painful.  Because they didn't know when the Soviet artillery shells would land on their heads.

    As for the comrades who were hit by the shells, they kept screaming and wailing on the ground, and the screams of the unlucky guy kept coming out of the smoke.  This has caused huge psychological pressure on them.

    Therefore, sometimes the most important role of artillery bombardment is not how much damage it causes to the enemy.  After all, as long as the enemies don't stupidly stand together and let you blast them, they won't be able to kill them so conveniently.

    Sometimes shelling is more important, it is to deal a blow to the enemy's morale, making them frustrated, disappointed, and even desperate.

    Fortunately, these Japanese soldiers are well-trained and highly disciplined soldiers.  Especially the middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army did an almost impeccable job in boosting the morale of the Japanese army and organizing the soldiers.  And this is also the key to the Japanese army's repeated victory in the war.

    More than half an hour passed, and the Soviet shelling finally ended.

    The Japanese shelling had stopped five minutes ago.  Because the Japanese army did not have enough artillery shells, the ammunition depot originally stored in Hailar was destroyed.

    As a result, their artillery supply was suddenly reduced by one-third.  Although there are ammunition depots in other places to provide them with supplies, there is still no way to keep up with the consumption of high-intensity wars.

    As for the Soviets, their artillery shells are as if they are free. They will bombard the Japanese army for as long as they want.

    By the time the bombardment ended, the Japanese could vaguely see the tanks and armored vehicles being attacked by the Soviets through the gunpowder smoke and the dissipating light mist, as well as the Soviet troops following behind like a tide.

    ¡°Ula!!!¡±

    The Soviets¡¯ charging slogans reached the Japanese position through a distance of several hundred meters.

    Those middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army crawled out of the mud, and then shouted: "The Soviets are coming up, attack them!!! For the glory of our Empire of Japan, we will fight to the death!!!"

    The Japanese soldiers at the bottom also woke up from the shock of being shelled. They immediately picked up their weapons and entered their respective combat positions.

    Their anti-tank artillery, heavy machine guns, and even light machine guns, in a very short period of time, have built positions on top of the fragmented positions that were bombarded by the Soviets.??

    ¡°Fire!!!¡±

    The Japanese troops who were the first to prepare, under the command of the commander, immediately began to fire fiercely at the Soviets advancing forward.  At this time, the anti-war artillery also began to roar, firing shells one after another at the Soviet troops charging forward.

    The Soviets seemed to completely ignore the firepower. Tanks and armored vehicles stopped from time to time to shoot at the Japanese positions, and then continued to advance.  As for the heavy machine guns equipped on tanks and armored vehicles, they fired continuously at the Japanese positions through the smoke.

    The Soviet soldiers who were following behind all hunched their necks and hid behind these moving steel beasts, fearing that they would be killed by bullets and artillery shells fired by the Japanese army from the opposite side, and they would die heroically on the ground.

    The bullets fired by both sides flew in the air, drawing countless straight lines and arcs.  Soldiers kept falling under such intensive firepower, and many tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery.

    But this time the Soviets attacked more tanks and armored vehicles than before.  Moreover, the battles in the previous two days also made their tactics such as infantry and tank coordination more mature.  As for the new armored divisions, they were arranged on the two wings, which could put offensive pressure on the Japanese troops on the flanks and at the same time allow the Soviets to concentrate more experienced troops in the central area.

    Just as the Soviets were advancing fiercely, the Japanese command post behind them was already in chaos.  The various generals argued loudly and put forward various suggestions, but they were unable to form a unified decision in a short period of time.

    And if these high-level commanders argue here for a minute, the Soviet troops will advance a few meters.

    After all, the Japanese armored forces did not have the ability to compete head-on with the Soviets.  Their resistance to the Soviets relied more on excavated trenches and foxholes, forming a strategic depth of several kilometers, making the Soviets pay a heavy price for every step forward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
