The moonlight shone quietly on the sea, and the sound of the crashing waves was so clear in the night. Chen Shaokuan raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Let's go!"

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded solemnly, then turned solemnly and went down to deliver the order. After a while, the originally quiet beach began to boil. Countless soldiers gathered and rushed towards the modified transport ships in the port.

Elsewhere, the heavy anchor of the National Defense Forces Combined Fleet was slowly lifted. The ships began to leave the port and wandered offshore. In just over an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers boarded the transport conversion ship.

The fleet began to move towards its intended destination, led by the battleships of the combined fleet. The transport fleet followed behind. The entire fleet maintained a constant speed and slid towards the deep sea...

Jiao Island is about 200 kilometers away from the planned landing place of the National Defense Force. At this time, the fleet maintained a speed of 20 knots per hour. It would take at least five hours to reach the planned combat location.

In order to ensure the concealment of the operation, the entire fleet maintained radio silence. The communication between the fleets was only through the language of lights. And before arriving at the scheduled combat location, even Tu Mengben would lose contact with them...

At this time, Tu Mengben closed his eyes and rested in the headquarters in front of the 38th Line. The battle plan had been finalized. The National Defense Forces would launch a strong attack on the Japanese troops on the 38th Line in three hours.

In order to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and at the same time avoid the detection of the troops performing landing operations in the rear. As long as the Japanese army can be forced to not take care of the rear, then the National Defense Force will be equivalent to half the victory.

Time passed minute by minute, and gray shadows emerged from the National Defense Forces' positions in the night. They cautiously moved towards the Japanese army's positions step by step.

In order to avoid being attacked by the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army laid a large number of landmines in front of the position. These gray-white figures came to remove the landmines.

They must be extremely careful in their actions. Once they accidentally detonate a mine, it will attract the attention of the Japanese army. Once they discover that the National Defense Forces are dismantling the mines in front of their own and the opponent's positions, even a fool will know what this means.

There is no doubt that the Wehrmacht's offensive plan will be leaked. Although the job is not easy, the workload of these Wehrmacht engineers has actually been reduced a lot.

Previously, the National Defense Forces took advantage of their artillery fire to clear a large number of landmines in front of the Japanese positions. Now there are only some scattered mines left. As long as most of them are cleared, the Japanese positions attacked by the National Defense Forces do not have to worry about these.

A killer appears out of nowhere.

Groups of gray-white figures crouched out from the National Defense Forces' positions and moved towards the Japanese positions. This was not the first day they had been doing this work.

Ever since Tu Mengben started preparing for the Third Korean War, they had been organized and rushed to North Korea to start their demining career.

The Japanese army didn't even know that 10% of the mines in front of their positions had been destroyed. Even if sometimes they found that there were fewer mines in front of their positions, they just thought it was destroyed by the artillery fire of the National Defense Forces.

Both sides carried out a large number of shellings, destroying traces of the activities of the National Defense Forces engineers. The National Defense Forces did not launch attacks on Japanese positions after the Second Korean War, which also led to a kind of inertia on the part of the Japanese army.

They naturally believed that the National Defense Forces could not bear the losses of attacking the 338th Line and chose to give up the attack. Therefore, although the Kwantung Army's top brass repeatedly ordered the troops to strengthen patrols, very few of the regiments actually did so.

On cold snowy nights, they preferred to spend time in a nearby comfort station. Even Japanese soldiers and officers who no longer had vacations preferred to spend time in warm fortifications rather than in the snow outside the tunnels.

Once upon a time, they also walked vigilantly in the snowy night. Unfortunately, after walking for several months, there was no sign of the National Defense Forces launching an attack. The several thunders were just chaos caused by wild animals stepping on landmines.

I have to mention here the insidiousness of the previous commanders in the Korean War Zone. From time to time, they would purchase some live wild animals and then release them on the battlefield.

Many of these wild animals couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. They were running around in the dark, which naturally caused the explosion of landmines in front of the Japanese positions.

When the explosion sounded, the frightened Japanese army had to enter a state of nervous alert. This happened several times, which made the Japanese army nervous. However, the National Defense Forces never attacked.

The Japanese army was also worried that a strong attack would detonate the mines in front of the Wehrmacht positions, and they themselves were not sure of the attack. So they could only waste their time.

Time passed by, and some Japanese soldiers who couldn't stand it were finally replaced by a changing of the guard. While they were handing over their posts, these soldiers of the National Defense Force also wrote down their posts.

Later, the engineers took advantage of the moment when dark clouds covered the moon and quietly withdrew to the Wehrmacht position.

At midnight, Tu Menghu suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand to look at his watch. Then he looked at his adjutant with questioning eyes, and saw the adjutant saying to Tu Mengben.

"Our engineers have all withdrawn, and we have identified more than 30 exposed and dark sentinels of the Japanese positions. We have also figured out their changing of guard time. At the same time, the artillery has completed adjusting the gun positions..."

The adjutant stuttered without even typing, and without looking at anything, he answered all the questions Tu Mengben wanted to ask in one go.

"Prepare for fifteen minutes, then fire immediately!" Tu Mengben stood up and did a few chest-expanding exercises, and said to the adjutant: "Pay attention to the navy's movements and report them to me as soon as they have news."

"Yes!!" the adjutant responded loudly, and then went down to deliver the order. The command center of the National Defense Force's forward position, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became full of people.

Countless combat orders were passed to various units along the telephone lines. All the soldiers opened their eyes and slowly stepped into the position, holding their steel guns tightly.

At the same time, groups of crows quietly cleared away the Japanese sentries in front of the positions in the darkness. At the same time, explosives were planted near the fortifications...

"Time's up, fire!" Following the order, suddenly the quiet position suddenly roared like thousands of thunders!

"Boom, boom, boom...Boom! Boom! Boom..." Countless artillery fire tore through the air, dragging the flowing fire and spinning towards the Japanese positions in the night.

At this time, most of the Japanese troops were hiding in the tunnel fortifications, so the shelling did not cause many casualties. But what it caused was panic among the entire Japanese army.

Countless Japanese soldiers and officers quickly got up and kept asking on the phone what happened. The Japanese soldiers were frantically gathering towards the position.

"Malu Yelang! What's going on?! I'm running away now. Do you know what happened? Did the National Defense Force launch a general attack on us?!" General Umezu Yoshijiro, the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, said at his headquarters

roared.

However, no one could answer his words. Now the headquarters and the forward position have lost contact. Now no one here knows what happened.

"Let all the troops gather immediately and march towards the bunker group behind the 38th parallel position!" Umezu Yoshijiro said with a livid face: "Local security will be handed over to the North Korean garrison to suppress. All areas will enter a state of martial law! ...

"

Umezu Yoshijiro issued more than ten orders in one breath. After assigning the tasks, the officers below responded loudly. Then they quickly issued orders everywhere.

The Japanese troops originally in the rear began to gather crazily, and then marched towards the 38th parallel position.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...Boom! Boom!! Boom..." Li Yannian and the Second Artillery Unit were attacking the marked targets on the Japanese position. Countless rockets flew to the Japanese position.

Each explosion set off endless smoke and a large amount of soil. The Japanese soldiers in the underground fortifications felt their heads shaking. Everyone had gathered and waited for the order to rush to the position.

"How is the situation?! Have you contacted the headquarters?!" General Yoshio Yoshio, the commander of the 17th Front Army responsible for the position garrison, asked in the telecommunications department with an ugly face.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, we still haven't contacted the headquarters until now. We are working hard!"

"Thank you! We need to contact the headquarters as soon as possible. We need the tactical assistance from the headquarters. Therefore, for the safety of the position and the safety of the empire, please help me!"

"Hai!!" the Japanese officers in the telecommunications room responded loudly. The Japanese army lost contact with their headquarters for unknown reasons. This was extremely fatal to the troops trapped in the battlefield.

The rumbling sound of artillery continued, and Yoshio's face gradually turned gloomy. The National Defense Forces had never conducted such an artillery bombardment for more than an hour and a half.

At the same time, the density of shelling was also higher than usual. Although he did not see it with his own eyes, Yoshio was certain that most of the surface fortifications and tunnels must have been destroyed.

"Continue to report to the headquarters! Our unit has been attacked, and the National Defense Forces are launching a massive offensive! Urgent request for tactical assistance!" Last month Yoshio took a deep breath and said: "Until we wait for the response from the headquarters..."

In fact, Umezu Yoshijiro had already received the telegram sent by Yoshio last month. He has now assembled his troops and is rushing frantically towards the positions in the 38th Line area...

"Bang!" On Iwo Jima, Koga Hoichi's room was suddenly knocked open. The frightened Koga Hoichi jumped up suddenly, rolled over and got out of bed, and grabbed the pistol on the bedside.

"Koga! It's me!" At this time, a voice sounded. Immediately, the lights turned on. Only then did Koga Mineichi realize that the person who broke in was actually Yamamoto Isoroku.

"Koga-san, I'm sorry! But this is an emergency, and I have discovered the intention of the National Defense Forces..." I saw Yamamoto Isoroku hurriedly opened the map, and pointed at a location on the Korean Peninsula with his finger.
