(The attack that I originally planned to warn the Japanese unexpectedly turned into a pincer battle with the Soviet army. In this battle, the tactics used by the commanders of the Soviet and Chinese armies and their performances were surprisingly similar, and they The results achieved were surprisingly the same, they all destroyed the enemy in front of them in one night Excerpted from "My Memories of the Anti-Japanese War - Cao Xiaomin")
"Let's go to the front line immediately" After the initial panic, Okamura Neji finally calmed down. He did not believe that the entire front would be penetrated by the Soviet army within a few hours. Every section of the defense line he deployed had been personally tested by himself. Each anti-tank team in it was selected from the troops that had been confronting the Soviet army in the Northeast. Their tactics All have been tested in actual combat, and it is impossible for them to be defenseless in front of the Soviet army.
"We have too many new recruits, and panic is inevitable. I think at least five or six of our defensive sections have been breached. I hope those rookies are not scared to pieces" Neji Okamura took command worriedly. In the carriage, now he felt even more deeply how much the consumption in China had weakened Japan: If this battle were all borne by veterans before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, how could there be such a chaotic and panic situation! ?
On the train where the rhythm of the locomotive movement could clearly be felt, Okamura Neiji was concerned about the war situation in Mongolia: This battle showed that the Chinese Communist Army and the Soviet army had strong synergy, and they actually attacked the Japanese army in two places at the same time. ! However, both he and the staff at the base camp had previously judged that the Chinese Army was deliberately working hard with the Japanese army and had no intention of fighting the Japanese army. Are the Chinese really bent on joining forces with the Soviet Union to deal with Japan? Are you not interested in occupying Mongolia at all? What on earth is Cao Xiaomin thinking? This person is so unpredictable
Okamura Neji¡¯s stern eyes glanced at the communications trooper who was waiting at the radio station. The communications trooper quickly reported the latest and unchanging news: he could not contact the various frontline units in Mongolia, and he did not know the latest progress of the battle for the time being
impossible! ? Unless the entire front is fighting fiercely and the various ministries of the ** have threatened the command of each ministry, it can only be contacted during the movement of the army headquarters! Okamura Neiji was puzzled. He never believed that Japan could gain battlefield advantage through infantry duels alone without using mechanized troops.
There were too many things that happened that night that he couldn't understand. Maybe it was due to some climate reasons? Okamura Neiji could only comfort himself in this way. Only climate reasons could explain the loss of contact with so many troops confronting the Chinese Army.
The Soviet large-caliber artillery shells that often missed in the distance streaked across the sky with red hot trails, and then somewhere nearby, they would instantly light up a screen of light on the dark horizon, followed by a cracking explosion. There will be Soviet artillery threats, which is normal. Even when nothing happened, the Soviets would often use heavy artillery with huge range and explosive power to aimlessly bombard the Japanese occupation zone. Okamura Neji was used to this. The Soviet artillery never bombarded areas too close to the railway. They knew all too well how difficult it was to build a railway on the ice, so Okamura Neiji felt very at ease.
"Boom! Boom!" The artillery shell almost hit their heads. Although the Japanese soldiers who were ready for combat were alerted to the enemy attack by the "hissing" sound piercing the air above their heads, they never dreamed that the enemy could still hit them. The artillery shells were precisely aimed and the fuses were adjusted. All the artillery shells exploded in the air, and the shrapnel and steel balls were directly overhead. There is absolutely no possibility of evasion!
This is impossible, unless the enemy has planned an ambush here in advance and made accurate measurements of the artillery range! Could it be that the Chinese ** team had already lurked in! ? Like an ordinary soldier, Inoue Masakichi lay on the ground and silently prayed to the two old dogs that were said to live in the sky, praying that there would not be a single steel ball or shrapnel under his hood
Although the 23rd Division had not been favored by the army's top brass before the battle against the Soviet Union, they performed well in the battle against the Soviet army. This was closely related to the fact that they had a good division commander Inoue Masakichi: Inoue Masakichi and the troops Most newbies are different. He is an officer who has truly graduated from a military academy and been promoted one level at a time. He is a practical general who has been on the Chinese battlefield since 1937.
Precisely because this unit composed entirely of new recruits performed well in the battle against the Soviet Union, Inoue Masakichi was considered by the base camp to be one of the few generals who was particularly good at using the new recruits. When the main force was crowded in Tulum to confront the Soviet army, the rest of the second force was The Thirteenth Division was assigned the easiest task to confront the Chinese Army. But very sad. Because this unit was considered unlikely to encounter a fierce battle, all the troops of the 23rd Division that had just been trained in the battle were transferred away. Inoue Masakichi was asked to continue to "give full play to his strengths" and lead the new recruits at the base camp. Now Almost all members of the 23rd Division are recruits transferred from the mainland!
Follow the infantry drill code! Every Japanese soldier remembers his commander's instructions very clearly. Everyone got down as soon as they were attacked by the enemy."Bang bang bang!" The shells above our heads exploded one after another, and shrapnel and iron beads the size of pomegranate seeds rained down from the sky violently. The recruits lying on the ground were beaten to bloody gourds, but the night covered it all, and the living Japanese were still in order. "Ah!" Help! "Help me!" Mom! "The heart-rending screams of the soldiers who were not killed but were seriously injured were more harmful to the recruits than the shells themselves! It became increasingly clear to the Japanese officers and soldiers whose ears were still bulging and who had not fully recovered. Stunned by the various screams, they had forgotten half of their commander¡¯s instructions: ¡°¡Bang! Bang! Bang! "Is that a heartbeat? The recruits were scared to death but still maintained their military appearance like a conditioned reflex. No, this is not a heartbeat, it is a tremor coming from the earth!" The Japanese recruits suddenly collapsed, and there was a dark wall in front of them. The waves of dust are coming!
It¡¯s the cavalry! The panicked Japanese soldiers discovered that the explosions above their heads seemed to never stop, but the enemy had already rushed over. What rushed over were Chinese cavalry! No one could remain calm in the face of a cavalry charge. They no longer lie down, they want to get up and fight back. "Boom! Boom!" The shells continue to fall mercilessly, and the shrapnel easily mows down the Japanese soldiers who are standing up like mowing grass; the cavalry troops charging at full speed blink in the blink of an eye. He immediately jumped into the Japanese army's queue
This is the most bloodthirsty unit in the entire combat sequence. It is composed entirely of veterans of the Northeast Army who are determined to die, and they have experienced the bloody stimulation of Yan Xingjiu again and again! The crazy cavalry crashed into the Japanese infantry queue and passed by like a storm. The pressed cavalry sword did not need to be swung at all. The blade hit the enemy's neck and made a "click" sound. Those Japanese soldiers who had just straightened up were almost there. At the same time, his head was cut off and his body was brought back to the ground. Even though it was dark night, one could still clearly see from the clear moonlight that each war horse was like a speedboat, but the thing that was knocked over in front of them was not a wave of water but a wave of people!
Not long after the headquarters of the 23rd Division, the only Japanese mobile force in Mongolia, set off to the front line, they encountered the enemy head-on. To be precise, they ran into the ambush circle designed by Yan Xingjiu!
What, we bumped into the enemy head-on! ? The rumbling sound of the gun in front was obviously not a heavy artillery. The dull but short and thin sound told Okamura Neiji that it was a tank gun! So many tanks and guns? ! Such intense firepower! ? He was petrified. The Soviet firepower was coming towards him, and he was not worried about blowing up the railway at all!
Almost immediately after the battle, the "iron boring" carriages that opened the way in front of the general's train were smashed into pieces by the Soviet tank group. This kind of motorized railway can hold a large section of railway with one carriage in North China. The fortress was reduced to scrap metal under the powerful firepower of the Soviets!
So many tanks! ? Okamura Neji was stunned: This is his dream! In his handwritten book "Tank Tactics", he once used his super imagination to describe such a battle scene, and the Japanese briefly showed this scene in Zhengzhou, but they were later flooded by the Yellow River. Now all these scenes that originally existed only in his imagination have really appeared, but the performers are the Soviets!
Hundreds of Guardsmen equipped with imitation "Suloton" submachine guns desperately rushed towards the Soviet tank group, just like they once laughed at the Chinese soldiers, using bullets in vain to smash the tank armor into sparks, and then themselves Beaten to pieces by the machine gunner on the tank!
Without even having time to change into a soldier¡¯s uniform, Neji Okamura threw away the sword at his waist and the coat on his body and fled into the wilderness, escaping from the railway line as far as possible
"Let go of those Japanese who fled to the wilderness. Remember that we are the sword of the entire army. Each tank group must not stop except to refuel the tank. We must move forward indomitably. In three days, we will be defeated by the Soviet emblem on the tank alone." It can scare the devils out of their wits, everyone, move forward!" Zhukov himself used the loudspeaker on the tank to give the order loudly, and the Soviet army's iron stream continued to advance eastward at lightning speed
"Order the entire army not to rest and reorganize, and not to entangle the scattered Japanese troops. Quickly assemble, assemble to the east, and assemble as you advance!" Sun Liren also gave the order: "Leave all the Japanese stragglers to the others behind. Troops, we just march eastward. I will plant my military flag all over Eastern Mongolia within three days! Don¡¯t worry about logistics, don¡¯t worry about the obstruction in front, just move forward! The remaining Japanese troops are just heavy troops behind them. When they see our military flag, they will They will be scared to shit, and everyone will attack as soon as they see the Japanese army, no matter how large their troops are, they will attack when they see it"
In two different battlefields, the Chinese and Soviet armies, one relying on the indestructible steel torrent and the other relying on the indomitable will to move forward, are launching non-stop attacks on the Japanese troops facing them. Both are attacking non-stop. No one expected that the coalition forces would achieve a decisive victory on the night the war started again after more than two months of stalemate! (To be continued!~!
