( I have said it myself before: A good general should always pay attention to the impact of his own safety on the entire battle situation, and should not engage in close combat with the enemy casually; but none of the most capable generals I have come across have never fought face-to-face with the enemy. (Excerpted from "My Memories of the Anti-Japanese War - Cao Xiaomin")
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Panic shouts spread all over the Japanese defense line. Rows of soldiers rushed from the hidden anti-gun holes to the trenches, staring wide-eyed in the darkness in an attempt to find the target in the darkness
"Crack!" A very loud sound - is it the sound of light! ? The whole night suddenly seemed like day!
In order to deal with the overwhelming advantage of the Japanese Air Force, the Soviet Army equipped all units with air defense units, and there were countless searchlights in the Soviet Army. Suddenly, thousands of light beams hit the Japanese army's position hard. I don't know whether it was the sound of all the searchlight switches that were turned on at the same time or some other reason. This time the light beams actually made a sound!
The mechanization level of the Japanese was enough to bully the Chinese army, but in fact it was far behind the powerful European armies. They never expected that the enemy could activate so many searchlights in the wild at the same time. Those eyes staring in the dark were suddenly dazzling. The searchlight was instantly blinded!
"Cerce Cece! Cece Cece! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!" The entire battlefield was almost drowned out by gunfire within a few seconds, and the Japanese firepower suddenly reached its peak! They couldn't see anything, so they could only fire as hard as they could, and soon their ears could no longer hear. They were filled with all kinds of gunshots The blind and deaf Japanese soldiers had no idea that their crazy shooting had destroyed all front-line targets. The firepower points were sold to the enemy
"Boom! Boom!" If the Japanese could still see it, they would be scared to death: the artillery fire of their tank divisions was like fireflies compared with the concentrated artillery fire of the five Soviet tank divisions! There was originally a set of established tactics for using infantry artillery to attack tanks. The Japanese always thought that they could defeat the Soviet tank troops with their Bushido spirit, precise gunnery, and careful tactical coordination. However, the intensity of the Soviet army's offensive exceeded their knowledge. They simply could not imagine that so many tanks would be gathered together to form a completely unstoppable frenzy!
Even illumination bombs can make the eyes of soldiers in the trenches turn white, let alone direct searchlights! ? Because their ears were also shaken by the sound of gunfire and lost their hearing, most of the Japanese on the entire defense line did not see the terrifying scene of hundreds of tanks emerging from the darkness at the same time: the black steel frenzy instantly drowned all their tanks. Plant obstacles and trenches!
The tank raised its body high, crossed the trench and straddled the enemy's trench as if standing upright, and then suddenly crashed down heavily. The Japanese soldiers who could only feel the ground shaking but could not accurately judge the enemy's position due to their blindness were killed in groups. The steel was smashed into pulp. As tanks passed one after another, the tanks behind them could no longer stand up - the Soviet army actually flattened the Japanese defenses to the ground!
Heavy artillery units, which were also several times more powerful than the Japanese army's equipment, also began to attack in clusters. The Soviet army's hundreds of 150 and above artillery, which concentrated various artillery units and a group of independent artillery regiments, were not artillery fire, they were completely hellfire! The concentrated firepower of the artillery group can turn over the ground wherever it passes, all the fortifications are leveled, all the mines are detonated, and the originally unstoppable torrent of steel crashes away without any resistance. The Japanese defense belt; behind the tank group, artillery carriages and armored personnel carriers merged into a larger torrent and drowned everything
The Soviet attack group consisting of five tank divisions and a large number of mechanized infantry followed Zhukov's deployment and did not expand the breakthrough point at all, and drove straight in along the Far East Railway. This force moves forward not only because of their equipment, but also because of their spirit¡ªthe commander-in-chief, General Zhukov, is with them. Let¡¯s dig through the enemy¡¯s positions together, rush in crazily together, and go deep behind enemy lines together!
"Quick! Get the fleet back" Okamura Neiji lost all his composure and looked a little hysterical. He almost howled at Yamamoto Isoroku on the phone - Yamamoto Isoroku had just sent out the air force. After less than an hour of dealing with the Chinese, the Soviet army suddenly started attacking!
Who would have thought that the plague isolation zone they had painstakingly built would be completely useless, and that the Soviets would dare to cross this death zone to launch a surprise attack on their own troops? ! When Okamura Neiji received reports from Mongolia that the Chinese Expeditionary Force suddenly launched an offensive across the board, he immediately asked the defenders on the Tulum battlefield to strengthen their alert and be ready for combat. However, neither he nor the Japanese officers and soldiers at the front could imagine it. The enemy was so powerful that when he received an emergency call from all fronts in Tulum and all the ministries were asking for help urgently, many lines of defense had actually been torn to pieces!
The Chinese do not have such powerful mechanized troops. Even if there is no air support, even if the Japanese army in Mongolia is defeated, there will still be escape opportunities.?. But this won't work when facing the Soviets, they will be crushed into pulp! Okamura Neiji had to issue an emergency order to the aircraft fleet that had almost arrived at the Sino-Japanese front line, asking them all to return immediately to support the Soviet-Japanese battlefield
We must take advantage of the gap before the Japanese Air Force arrives to get all involved and entangle the Japanese! This is one of the tactical details arranged by Sun Liren. The Chinese troops on the Mongolian battlefield knew the terror of being attacked by air and ground at the same time. They never stopped advancing for a moment from the moment they started attacking, no matter how the Japanese retreated. Avoid and always stick to it desperately. In the minds of the Chinese Army, especially those recovering veterans who regard the Battle of Songhu as their combat standard, unless they defeat their opponents. Otherwise, once they are stabilized by the enemy without air support, they will have to suffer the consequences of defeat when the enemy's air force arrives. Therefore, when these veterans execute tactics, it is not because of military discipline but because of their own experience that they must fight like this. .
The fighting style of the Chinese ** team caught the Japanese army, which had been trying to get rid of them and preserve their strength, by surprise. The initial retreat resulted in the Japanese army being unable to stabilize its position at all. Being hunted throughout the entire war zone!
Cao Xiaomin did not ask about the result of the battle, but only asked Sun Liren to launch an offensive of sufficient scale, but Sun Liren had to ask about the result of the battle! The Japanese officers and soldiers in this battle were well trained and well equipped. All the officers above his squad leader had severe combat experience. However, the Japanese later figured out Cao Xiaomin¡¯s intentions and wanted to give Soviet troops to Tulum on the battlefield. Due to the pressure from the military, they transferred all the veterans who were good at fighting to Tulum. Now, except for some commanders, no one in the Japanese army on the huge Mongolian battlefield had actually experienced a bloody battle!
¡°If it were broad daylight and in conventional combat, these Japanese rookies would fight step by step under the guidance of the commander, and they might still be able to achieve good results relying on their training. But now they encountered unconventional warfare and encountered a group of elite soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Songhu and crawled out from the dead! Half the night was full of constant encounters, face-to-face battles involving life and death, and almost every desperate battle in which someone hung up a grenade and rushed to open a way for the enemy In Neji Okamura's mind, even if The Japanese troops, who were able to gain a foothold even after being attacked by surprise, could choose to retreat in an orderly manner, were actually entangled and annihilated one by one!
"I came into contact with that legendary Oriental general in China before" Zhukov did not stay in the bloated command vehicle. He personally went to a tank charging into the battle and used a flashlight to summon the messengers to issue orders when needed. At other times, He fought like an ordinary soldier. At this time, after the troops completely crossed the enemy's defense line, he was already chatting leisurely with his tank commander: "General Cao Xiaomin told me that he was not a good general; he said A good general should always pay attention to the impact of his own safety on the entire battle situation, but he fought with the Japanese with bayonets more than once. It seems that I am not a good general either. If the mine just now did not blow up the armored vehicle next to it but let us run over "
"No! You are a good general, Comrade Zhukov" There was no special compliment in the tank commander's tone. He said matter-of-factly: "Perhaps a general should not take risks casually, but we, myself and all those who participated in the charge Comrades only obey one kind of general, a general who dares to fight the enemy with bayonets"
"So I haven't done enough" Zhukov shrugged and used a flashlight to summon the messenger. The commander was stunned and gave the order: "Find me a Mosin-Nagant with a bayonet"
"Huh!" There was a crisp sound. Sun Liren stopped his bayonet and twisted it hard based on the feeling in his hand before pulling out the bayonet and watching the dark squat shadow in front of him fall. The several guards around him who rushed towards him were all frightened. I broke out in a cold sweat: This division commander was too difficult to serve, and he accidentally jumped to the front with a bayonet in hand!
"It would be great if I had a tank, so I don't have to get my hands dirty just wait, one day my army will also have a tank, and it will be fun for us to use the tanks to crush the Japanese into meat paste." Sun Liren He tilted his head: "Are you suddenly surrounding me like this to tell the Japanese snipers who may still be lying on the ground that there is a senior general here? Get out of here! I have already killed several people?! What are you worried about! "
The guards were all stunned by the scolding. Before they could recover, they saw Sun Liren holding a bayonet and rushing toward the group of black figures who heard the sound of fighting in front of him. He quickly ran over like crazy
"The Soviet army has penetrated our defense line and is coming along the railway line" The staff officer stumbled and handed over the latest frontline battle report. Okamura Neji's hands were shaking slightly: "How is this possible? My defense line was destroyed in three hours. Collapse!?" But what made Okamura Neji even more incredible was the request for help from the Mongolian troops an hour ago: All troops were attacked by the enemy without exception, and the entire army was fighting to the death! ! ~!
