    Not only did the defenders of the Songhua River Bridge fail to prevent their opponents from moving so quickly, but even the Japanese and puppet troops in Harbin did not expect it.  [¡®When Tao Jingfei led his troops across the Songhua River Bridge at full speed and rushed into Harbin¡¯s urban area, the street lights on the main streets were still on.  The troops led by Tao Jingfei did not even need to turn on their car lights and could directly use street lights for lighting.

    When Tao Jingfei rushed into Harbin, the northernmost big city in China was still brightly lit.  In addition to some Puppet Manchukuo military and police officers on the street who were enforcing martial law, there were even many people who had just finished a night out in dance halls, brothels or coffee shops and were preparing to return home, regardless of the martial law order issued by the Japanese and puppet troops that day.  pedestrian.  In the train station, a night bus from Xinjing also entered Harbin Station on time.

    Pedestrians on the street and the Puppet Manchukuo police who were enforcing the martial law and were trying to drive back the high-ranking officials who were ignoring the martial law and enjoying the nightlife. They looked at the tanks and the large number of heavily armed soldiers who appeared from nowhere and couldn't help but feel excited.  stunned.

    It wasn't until a policeman's sharp eyes used the streetlight light next to him that he saw the words "Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" written on the chest badges of soldiers passing by him. After being stunned for a long time, he shouted "Yes" as if waking up from a dream.  After the Anti-Japanese War, he turned around and ran away.  It didn't matter if he shouted out in his voice, it was like a bomb exploding in the street, causing chaos in the street that was lively just now.

    ¡°At this time, those who can ignore the martial law and still enjoy the nightlife according to their own habits are undoubtedly the children of some high-ranking puppet Manchukuo officials and wealthy businessmen, or Japanese.  Ordinary people have no time to support their families, so they have no financial strength, let alone the courage to visit high-consumption places such as brothels and dance halls.

    "These fathers and brothers are all traitors with high-level positions. When they hear that the Anti-Japanese League has invaded the city, is there any one who will not mess up?  Coupled with the frightened Puppet Manchukuo police, the streets that were peaceful just a moment ago immediately exploded.  The so-called grace that I usually pretended to be has been thrown aside long ago. You pushed me and I became a mess and ran away for my life.

    Some people are so panicked that they even leave their partner who is not known to be a lover, a concubine, or even a dancer.  The taxis and carriages on the street that were bargaining for prices no longer cared about soliciting customers. After a while, the streets that were bustling just now suddenly became quiet.  However, there are also brave ones who are not afraid of being accidentally injured by bullets and stand on the side of the street, acting dumb.

    Tao Jingfei had neither the time nor the energy to take care of the puppet Manchukuo military and police personnel who were enforcing martial law and disappeared on the streets in an instant.  He ordered the troops to ignore the police and rush towards their respective targets.  Be sure to capture Harbin in the shortest possible time.

    Although the Japanese and puppet troops in Harbin have entered a state of alert due to the loss of Bayan and Tieli.  But no one expected that the opponent who should be still a hundred kilometers away at this time would suddenly appear in front of them.  The Japanese and puppet troops who had already gathered together and were preparing to enter the fortifications for defense the next day did not even have to disperse the attacking troops.

    Tao Jingfei¡¯s attack went extremely smoothly, and almost all the Japanese and puppet troops who were caught off guard were blocked in the barracks.  Under the cover of infantry, the tanks of the armored brigade rushed directly into the Japanese and puppet army camps and rampaged.  Although the Japanese army and part of the puppet Manchukuo army, which did not have many heavy weapons, were still resisting in the barracks, in the face of tanks and 75mm mountain guns, their resistance was unable to save the overall situation.

    Some of the firepower that barely opened fire only had time to fire a few bullets.  The tank that was rushed up fired a shell and sent people and their houses to the west.  Unable to stand it any longer, after getting into the barracks, the Japanese and puppet soldiers were driven out of the house by tank fire, and were turned upside down by the accompanying infantry and machine guns on the tanks.

    At this time, after the independent second garrison was blown to pieces, the Puppet Manchukuo army, which had actually become the main force of Harbin's defense, after the battle started, except for a small number of troops, mainly led by Japanese officers and the teaching team of the Fourth Military District,  The Marine Regiment of the Puppet Manchuria Army, which was the most tightly controlled by the Japanese army, was still outside the resistance, and most of them were caught off guard and disarmed in their sleep.

    One and a half regiments of the 23rd independent brigade of the puppet Manchukuo were disarmed, causing the Japanese and puppet defenders to lose their main strength, and at the same time, it also greatly reduced Tao Jingfei's pressure.  At least you don't have to worry about those puppet Manchukuo troops causing too much trouble for you and distracting your troops.  This allowed him to free up his hands and detach a reinforced regiment, with the cooperation of a tank battalion and two cavalry battalions, to seize the southern barrier cities of Harbin as quickly as possible.

    Under the cover of tank fire, Tao Jingfei, who was thick-skinned and fierce in firepower, quickly captured the Puppet Manchukuo Binjiang Provincial Government, the Harbin Special Municipal Government, the Police Department, and the Fourth Military District Headquarters in a short period of time.  A series of important objectives and completed the attack on the Japanese independent Second Guards Camp and Fourth ArmyIn the end, the district was still resisting the encirclement of several camps.

    Although the Japanese and puppet troops were still resisting, except for the heinous traitor leaders and a few Japanese officers who were struggling to their death, the resistance of the puppet Manchurian troops had actually collapsed after two hours of fighting.  Although the Japanese troops in the city were still resisting desperately, the Japanese troops, who lacked anti-tank weapons, faced a tank group with a large number of infantry, and their resistance was also declining rapidly.

    By the early morning of the next day, except for the training team of the Fourth Military District of the Puppet Manchukuo Army who was still making final resistance, the resistance in the Fourth Military District of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, including the Jiangshang Army Marine Regiment, had completely subsided.  All the puppet Manchukuo officials, including Ying Zhenfu, commander of the Fourth Military District, Yu Jingtao, governor of Binjiang Province of Manchuria, Zhao Zhen, mayor of Harbin, Japanese deputy mayor Du Futen, and Tian Yuan Wan'er, the police chief, all slipped through the net.

    Except for the Binjiang Provincial Police Director Shen Ziyong and the Harbin Police Director Tian Yuan Wan'er who were shot to death for leading the Japanese police and military police to resist to the end, almost no other high-ranking officials from the Binjiang Province and Harbin City of the puppet Manchuria slipped through the net and were all captured.  captured.  Lieutenant Colonel Kasuga Kasumi, the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie stationed in Harbin, and his several hundred gendarmerie members were crushed to pieces by tanks.

    After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, by seven o'clock the next morning, the rapid column commanded by Tao Jingfei successively occupied the main urban areas of Harbin such as Butou, Xinyang, Nangang, Majia, Dongxifujia, Xiangfang, Guxiang, Taiping, Songpu, etc.  And seized all the train stations in Harbin.

    As well as the Binjiang Provincial Government of the Puppet Manchuria, the Fourth Military District Headquarters, the Binjiang Provincial Police Department, the Harbin Municipal Police Department, the Harbin Gendarmerie and other important targets in Harbin.  Except for the Japanese Second Independent Garrison Headquarters, the Fourth Military District Training Team, and the Pingfang Special Military Zone, which suffered a devastating blow from Yang Zhen, and are still making final resistance, almost all of Harbin has changed hands.

    After seizing the train station, Tao Jingfei immediately organized five freight trains to go north to Bayan to pick up the main force.  Especially since the artillery was left behind by the rapid march.  As for the Puppet Manchukuo railway police squadron, a squadron of the Second Independent Garrison, a Puppet Manchukuo army battalion and some miscellaneous police stationed in Hulan, Tao Jingfei didn't pay attention at all.

    He placed an infantry company, two tanks, and six anti-aircraft machine guns on each train.  Using fire cover, they forced their way through Hulan Railway Station.  If it were not for the need to seize the twin cities and the slight shortage of a large city such as a stable force on hand, he would have sent a regiment to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in Hulan.

    However, when mobilizing the train to go north to Bayan to meet the main force, Tao Jingfei made a huge discovery at Harbin Railway Station.  Except for the discovery of several arms trains at Harbin East Station that had to be stranded in Harbin due to the interruption of the Binsui Railway.  Several large-caliber artillery pieces were also found on several trains that were covered tightly with tarps at Xiangfang Station.

    In addition to three 240mm fortress howitzers, these artillery pieces also have two of the latest Japanese Type 7 300mm fortress guns, four Type 96 240mm cannons, and even a caliber  At least a 400mm cannon.  In addition to these six large-caliber artillery pieces, there is also a train gun equipped with a 240 mm caliber artillery piece.

    After an emergency interrogation of the Japanese soldiers who were captured in their sleep, Tao Jingfei learned that these cannons were specially transported by the Japanese army from China to equip the Hutou Fortress and Dongning Fortress Group in the east.  However, due to the interruption of Binsui Railway transportation, we can only stay in Harbin temporarily.

    Among these artillery pieces, except for the 240 mm cannon with a range of up to 50 kilometers, the largest caliber 400 mm artillery piece originally used to be installed in the Tiger Head Fortress was specially dismantled from Tokyo Bay.  , prepared to be transported to Tiger Head Fortress to fight against Su.

    Looking at these heavy cannons, Tao Jingfei felt a little itchy.  But unfortunately, except for the train gun, all others need to build a strong reinforced concrete structure gun base.  However, despite this, in addition to Tao Jingfei deploying the train gun on the Harbin outer railway line for mobile fire support, other large-caliber heavy artillery also adhered to the method of preferring to kill the wrong one and not let it go. After the chief of staff arrived,  , see if you can use it.

    "It's just that even though no one on hand knows how to use these heavy artillery, Tao Jingfei is still ecstatic after getting these heavy artillery. What he doesn't know yet is that these heavy artillery will play a great role in the next battle.  In particular, the Type 90 train gun, which was highly maneuverable and had a range of up to fifty kilometers, caused great casualties to the Japanese army.

    Although the range was slightly shorter, the 400mm fortress gun with a shell weighing half a ton could even knock out most of the Japanese regiment that was gathering with one shot.  These large-range and powerful heavy artillery cooperated with the aviation force to provide stable firepower support for victory in the second phase of the battle.

    ? ?Among them is a Type 96 240mm cannon that was transferred to the east to participate in the attack on Dongning Fortress, and a Meiji 38 Type 240mm fortress cannon.  It is composed of two artillery pieces of the same type captured by the Military Region's Special Operations Brigade from the Tiger Head Fortress, a Type 96 240mm heavy howitzer, and several 150mm cannons captured in the first phase of the operation.  The artillery group provided powerful fire cover for the eastern front and completely destroyed the Japanese Dongning Fortress Group.
