(When I realized that the Soviet Union might soon launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese, I immediately ordered Sun Liren, who had just arrived in Mongolia, to launch an attack on the Japanese; in fact, this was a "friendly" attack, and the purpose was Let the Japanese be alert to the Soviet counterattack Excerpted from "My Memories of the Anti-Japanese War - Cao Xiaomin")
"Remove all uncertain adjectives, delete all 'maybe', 'or', and 'maybe'! What I want is to let the people of the entire Soviet Union know that tonight the Soviet Red Army will start a major counterattack, and this time The counterattack is irresistible, and this counterattack will directly wipe Japan off the face of the earth!" His tone was firm and stern, but when Stalin gave the order, his expression did not look like he was about to eat people. On the contrary, he made people feel very sure this time. confident.
When Stalin handed back the text of his speech in Red Square that night to his secretary, the general wearing a mask - Zhukov - began to appear in his mind.
"the Japanese created an uninhabited isolation zone, thinking that this would bring them at least a short period of peace; especially when they occupied absolute air superiority, they never expected that we would launch an attack, and with all our strength from the beginning This is the best time to attack!" Zhukov, who wore a mask and threatened to commit suicide eight days ago and wanted to see Stalin no matter what, finally appeared in front of the great leader under the supervision of a doctor.
If it weren¡¯t for the disastrous defeat, the lack of suitable candidates and the deliberate attempt to save face, Zhukov would have been dismissed long ago; but the stubborn Stalin kept his position. Even though he himself had thought about shooting Zhukov, the defeated general in the Battle of Tulum, as soon as he could be discharged from the hospital.
But when Stalin decided to meet Zhukov, he changed all his emotions. Instead of keeping a distance from Zhukov according to the doctor's instructions, he went directly to shake hands and hug Zhukov who was wearing a mask, and told Zhukov about the big news in Tulun. The defeat had nothing to do with the commander, it was just because the Japanese used the most despicable, inhumane and never-used tactics in the world Stalin spent the next half hour listening carefully to Zhukov's operational concept.
¡°Our troops can all be carried forward by tanks, armored vehicles, and personnel carriers, and all our vehicles can do careful epidemic prevention work to ensure that our combat soldiers are not infected in a short period of time, and then we fight through the epidemic area. Yes, we used night fighting to launch an attack when the Japanese were completely unexpected. Once our tank troops penetrated the enemy's defense, the entire mechanized group army passed through the gap and marched forward along the Far East Railway. What did the Japanese do at that time? We must fight back those who come over with a hundred times the sharpness. Our troops don't care about their troops on the defense line, just block them behind and die; if they want to cross the wilderness and return to the rear, there will naturally be various viruses Wait for them. If they come along the railway line, then we don't need to make any strategic maneuvers to concentrate them. In this battle, I will completely wipe out the 300,000 Japanese troops stationed on the Tulum front by Neji Okamura " Zhukov's pneumonic plague had actually been cured long ago. It was just that his lungs were very weak and he was out of breath even when he spoke, but he turned his originally pale face red and told Stalin his battle plan in one breath: "My battle plan can be summarized in one word, attack." ! If I have to write a plan with enough words to submit, then I will fill it with countless 'attacks'! The Japanese also have no supplies. As long as we hit them behind and attack along the railway line, we will attack along the way. With all the supplies destroyed, these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops have completely lost their living conditions. As for their mechanized group attacking us, I am not afraid at all, because the Japanese troops are very poorly mechanized; although they have destroyed us in previous battles There are many tanks. But that can only be achieved by using infantry artillery to ambush. When they start to fight mobile warfare with us, those infantry gunners will only become the targets of our tank soldiers Please believe me, leader, believe in the Soviet Red Army, after summarizing After various mistakes in the past, we are fully confident that we can wipe out the main force of the invaders in one blow!"
After meeting Zhukov, all Stalin¡¯s secretaries have been busy with one thing for several days: writing a Red Square speech for the great leader!
"The epidemic the Japanese created for us is not terrible! Didn't I come back? The Japanese are timid. The Japanese thought they succeeded, but they are already on the verge of defeat. Tonight, I will use tanks with you Crush the enemy into a pulp!" Zhukov personally mobilized the tank commanders on the Tulum front. The return of this commander who had been infected by the plague gave the Soviet officers and soldiers great encouragement: So what if he gets sick? Isn¡¯t the commander back? Pneumonic plague is not terrible, it can be easily cured!
Not only the officers and soldiers of the mechanized troops who had known for a long time that all their tanks had gone through anti-epidemic measures, but also the officers and soldiers of the garrison troops who had been on high alert for the virus and were worried about the virus suddenly seemed to beTo clear up the haze in my heart. Fear of the epidemic has completely subsided.
"Tonight's offensive must be carried out with all the strength of the attack units. We must not care about casualties, and we must use momentum and scale" Sun Liren was also mobilizing on the Mongolian front line at the same time. His troops had only arrived in Mongolia for four days, but after a short rest, they were immediately entrusted with an important task: to serve as the main force of tonight's general attack!
Because the speed of the army's assembly is always a big problem, and Cao Xiaomin hopes that the troops that have been welcomed by the Mongols over time will continue to be stationed in place, this combat mission was handed over to Sun Li's troops who had just arrived in Mongolia.
This is a completely unprepared battle, which is not in line with Cao Xiaomin's usual combat style, but Cao Xiaomin's military order came down: to attack the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia with all their strength, the Japanese must clearly know that this is a general offensive level and strategic level. A large-scale attack, there is no need to worry about the results
When fighting, don¡¯t care about the outcome! ? Sun Liren's heart jumped when he first received the order, but half an hour after he pounced on the map, he understood everything: this battle was not to achieve any results but to tell the Japanese that the Soviet army's general offensive had begun!
Yes, this was Cao Xiaomin's move to alert the enemy. When Cao Xiaomin realized that the Soviet Union might launch a strong counterattack against the Japanese army in the near future, the only way he could think of to "help" the Japanese army was to let the Chinese Army launch a strategic-level attack on the Japanese army. offensive, but it was obvious that the Chinese ** team launched the attack hastily. Obviously, doing this should make the cunning Okamura Neiji immediately realize that the squadron's flank attack is in response to friendly forces, and the Soviets will launch a violent attack!
Sometimes the motives of military operations on the battlefield are mysterious and cannot be understood by officers and soldiers at the grassroots level. They only know how to bravely kill the enemy when facing the invaders, but who among them will know the meaning of every battle they fight? ?
"On a flat grassland, the overwhelming advantage of firepower represents the success or failure of the attack! I ordered all departments to concentrate their firepower. We must ensure that each combat squad of the first three offensive echelons has a configuration of three light machine guns" Sun Liren quickly Detail the battle plan down to every detail of the battle.
Because Dai Anlan¡¯s mechanized infantry division did not participate in the first wave of attacks, the vanguard of this full-line attack still needs to carry out the same desperate attack as on the domestic battlefield. Fight tanks with human bodies!
The favorable condition for the Chinese ** team is that the Japanese did not expect that the ** would use a force that had only arrived at the front line for four days as the main force to launch an attack without gathering support from other units, and it was a general offensive from the beginning. At this moment, the Japanese were still completely anesthetized by the fact that the two armies had always been peaceful. After their reconnaissance planes brought back the news that there was no change in the Chinese tank troops in the evening, the Japanese troops confronting the Japanese troops were ready to welcome another "Christmas Eve" "It's
Due to the lack of fuel and the confrontation with the Soviet army on the main battlefield, the number of Japanese tanks was not large. Many tanks were actually used only as mobile fortresses. After the deployment positions were arranged, these tanks were parked. A large number of tanks were even equipped with fuel tanks. The fuel inside has been drained, and it is impossible to maneuver in an unprepared emergency situation. The flat land of the grassland cannot place more bunkers and other firepower points. Looking from a distance, the Japanese scouts can clearly see the location of the Japanese sentry posts, but the Japanese, who are accustomed to bathing in peace, are unaware of the battle. 's arrival.
A gentle "ha" opened the offensive curtain. Those veterans who had fought to the death with the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield, all came to the firing line with serious injuries and only fully recovered their combat effectiveness after a long period of recuperation and training (Tax Police Corps) All the uninjured officers and soldiers were transferred away by Chiang Kai-shek after the battle. The backbone of Sun Liren's reorganized troops were all recovered former wounded soldiers of the tax police regiment), all of whom had sufficient combat experience!
It¡¯s been too long, it¡¯s been too long! When the strong smell of blood once again poured into the noses of these veterans who dreamed of fighting the invaders to the death, all the veterans' fighting spirit was ignited, and everyone regarded the Japanese child soldiers in front of them as if they were in Hangzhou Bay. The old Japanese soldiers who landed and massacred everywhere were so ruthless that every lazy Japanese sentry died as soon as they were attacked. (Historically, another important reason why Sun Liren's army had an amazing combat record against Japan was that his cadre of soldiers was different from many of the troops who were captured by their captors. This army had culture and a strong sense of nationality, and they had all been carefully considered during the period of recuperation after being injured. The veteran who finally returned to the battlefield voluntarily.)
"Bang bang bang!" Three consecutive green flares spread across the more than 400 kilometers of front between the Chinese and Japanese armies at almost the same time. The desire to fight that had been suppressed for three years suddenly burst out, and the mountains roared like a tsunami. Amidst the sound, the main attack advance teams of the Japanese launched a selfless and crazy attack on the Japanese! (To be continued)rq! ~!
