When the Soviet Union launched its attack, Drumen's face showed a very surprised expression. The determination of the Soviets made Drumen a little worried. The United States had just ended World War II, so they naturally did not want to get involved in the war again.
Trumen looked at the document and frowned tightly. China is an ally of the United States. If the United States does not help China this time, I am afraid it will be difficult for China to get along with the United States in the future. However, the issue of sending troops is not something that Truman can decide.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the Soviet Union for this incident, and the United Nations has also decided to punish the Soviet Union to a certain extent and require the Soviet Union to quickly stop the war. The Chinese government has issued a war order, and they have entered into a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. There's a war." The secretary came over from outside and looked at Trumen and said.
Durumen looked helpless and sighed: "China's decision is too hasty. Yang Junran is still a young man after all, and he is too impulsive. If Yang Junran does not declare a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, then it will be It means that the Soviet Union is invading China's land, and we have reason to help China."
But at the end of the sentence, a helpless smile appeared on Durumen's face.
Even if China does not enter a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union's determination to seize foreign power will not change. The United States' determination to assist China will not waver. Although the United States cannot send troops to assist China, Americans with deep pockets will not be stingy when it comes to weapons and other aspects.
"Mr. President, the Soviet Foreign Ministry issued a statement. The actions of the Soviet troops are only to help Mongolia drive away the invaders. As long as the Chinese troops withdraw from foreign affairs, the Soviet troops will not fight the Chinese troops. This time they This action is just to fulfill the agreement between the two countries, and requires that no country interfere in the internal affairs of Mongolia." Marshall came from outside with a document and looked at Truman and said.
??Dulumen took the document and looked at it, the expression on his face was a bit embarrassing.
Although the Soviet Union¡¯s statement is completely a rogue sophistry, it is true that Mongolia has established diplomatic relations with many countries.
"We should not care about the attitude of the Soviets and provide assistance to China immediately. In addition, we will dispatch a thousand aircraft to quickly transport them to China." Truman quickly issued the order.
Marshall didn¡¯t dare to hesitate and walked out quickly.
The Soviet shelling stopped, and the position had been bombed beyond recognition. The officers and soldiers quickly entered their trenches, and aimed their rifles at the Soviet tank troops in the distance.
The Soviet tank troops were less than 2,000 meters away from the position, and their tank shells were still attacking the position continuously.
The Soviet KV-1 tank rushing at the front relied on its strong armor thickness to resist the bullets of the Chinese troops and cover the charge of the infantry behind.
This time the Soviet army invested a tank corps, with a total of 200 tanks, equipped with a small number of KV-1, IS-1 heavy tanks, and the rest were mainly T-34 tanks, following behind the tank corps. Yes, it is an infantry corps with a total of more than 30,000 people. Due to the terrain, they could only deploy so many troops, but for the reorganized 39th Division on guard, they were under great pressure.
"Order the artillery regiment, rocket launcher battalion, and howitzer regiment directly under the division headquarters to quickly send orders. Seeing the Soviet tanks approaching their positions, the Japanese and British quickly issued the order.
Forty-eight meters 150mm howitzers, thirty-six meters 105mm howitzers, and thirty meters 320mm self-propelled rocket launchers quickly launched a fire attack.
The shells hit the Soviet tank formation one after another, causing some tanks to explode.
But then, the rocket launchers and various artillery that followed the Soviet tanks launched suppression fires, forcing the Chinese artillery to stop firing and quickly move their positions to protect these valuable heavy artillery.
On the battlefield, Li Liangfeng had no idea at the moment. He squatted in the trench and allowed his troops to fight without giving any orders.
"Company commander, the Soviet tanks are coming up." A soldier shouted loudly.
Four Soviet tanks, under the cover of about fifty Soviet soldiers, have begun to move towards the position.
Li Liangfeng mustered up his courage and glanced outside. The four Soviet tanks were already less than 300 meters away from the position. This made Li Liangfeng very scared, especially when he just raised his head, the Soviet tank machine gun shotThe attack started, which made Li Liangfeng even more worried.
This time he squatted in the trench and did not dare to take any action.
The weapons platoon leader looked at Li Liangfeng's performance and frowned tightly.
"Bazooka shooters, prepare." The platoon leader quickly issued the order.
The three bazooka shooters moved quickly and aimed at the Soviet tanks in the distance.
"Commander SH quickly issued the order.
Following the platoon leader's order, three rocket launchers fired. The rockets quickly fired at the Soviet tanks. Three tanks were hit by the rockets, causing violent explosions. Taking this opportunity, three 60mm mortars and three heavy machine guns fired quickly, hitting the Soviet soldiers behind.
Cui's unprepared Soviet soldiers were killed for more than a dozen times. The remaining Soviet soldiers quickly dodged behind the remaining tank. Three Soviet light machine guns quickly launched a fire attack. The 50mm mortar fired rapidly to suppress the rocket launcher's attack.
The machine gun of the only Soviet T-34 tank continued to sweep the position, suppressing the firepower of the officers and soldiers. More than thirty Soviet soldiers slowly approached the position, and Soviet-made submachine guns also began to fire. When they stood up, a powerful firepower net hit the position, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The tanks moved slowly, and the infantry behind them, using the cover of the tanks, approached the position.
At this moment, a shell was quickly fired from behind the position and accurately hit the Soviet tank. A huge black hole appeared on the Soviet tank, followed by a violent explosion. The nearest Soviet soldiers were hit by the fragments of the tank explosion and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
The remaining Soviet soldiers took advantage of this opportunity and ran quickly, trying to quickly occupy the position. But when they had just reached the position thirty meters away, they were hit by three heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns. More than thirty Soviet soldiers, more than twenty died on the spot, and only ten of them quickly fell to the ground. On the ground, dodging past bullets.
Just when these Soviet soldiers wanted to retreat, grenades began to explode among them.
The four attacking tanks and more than 50 infantrymen were all wiped out on the position. The rest of the Soviet troops began to retreat on a large scale. There were only burning tanks and Soviet soldiers in front of the position. This time, the Soviet army It cost fifteen tanks and the lives of hundreds of Soviet officers and soldiers.
The reorganization of the 39th Division also cost hundreds of officers and soldiers casualties, and then they managed to hold on to their position.
Unwilling to fail, the Soviet troops continued to launch large-scale artillery attacks on the positions.
The Chinese officers and soldiers quickly evaded.
M¨¦ng, Kuron.
At the Chinese Garrison Headquarters, Liu Zhi frowned tightly as he read the message sent by the reorganized 39th Division. Now the reorganized 39th Division is facing a huge blow, which makes Liu Zhi a little worried. Once the position of the reorganized 39th Division is breached, the garrison headquarters in Kulun will directly face a Soviet attack.
"Commander, the air force has now fought with the Soviet aircraft and prevented the Soviet aircraft from attacking us. However, the Soviet tank troops are large in number, at least hundreds of tanks. Although we repelled the Soviet attack, But the reorganization of the 39th Division cost a lot of casualties." Chief of Staff Liu Fei walked up to Liu Zhi and reported on the battle situation on the front line.
Liu Zhi frowned tightly, with a worried expression on his face.
"Chief of Staff, immediately send reinforcements to the two anti-tank artillery regiments. Make sure the reorganized 39th Division holds the position. At the same time, contact the Ministry of National Defense, report our situation here, and request reinforcements to come quickly. In addition, send power to the reorganized 19th Division and the reorganized 40th Division. , let them prepare for battle and be careful of the Soviet troops making detours from the flanks." Liu Zhi quickly issued the order.
Liu Fei then saluted and walked out.
Watching Liu Fei walk out, Liu Zhi's face showed no expression. If he hadn't still held the position of commander of the Waimeng Garrison Area, he would have immediately wanted to return to Peiping, at least that was the only place that was safe. But now that he is holding the position of garrison commander, he cannot leave at all.
"Commander, it's better to resign from President Yang now. Maybe our lives can be saved. If the Soviets really come over, I'm afraid we will" A direct staff officer of Liu Zhi came over and looked at Liu Zhi explain.
Liu Zhi thought carefully, shook his head and said, "We can't do this at this time, otherwise President Yang may not approve our resignation. Once we leave a bad impression on President Yang, I'm afraid our fate will be , it is necessaryIt's the same as Tang Enbo, even worse than him. "
When the staff officer heard what Liu Zhi said, he said nothing more.
Peiping, Presidential Palace.
Fang Hanqin walked to Yang Junran's office with his foreigner's battle report.
Yang Junran stood in front of the map, thinking carefully about the war in Waimeng. In this battle, Yang Junran knew one thing. The key point of the battle was to defend the territory. Once the two sides reached a stalemate, all the lost land would not be able to come back. With the current strength of the Soviet army, it is possible for them to reach a stalemate with the Chinese troops after they capture some places. In that case, some land will fall into the hands of the Soviets, which Yang Junran does not want to see.
"No matter what the battle ahead is like, the Ministry of National Defense must issue a death order to the foreign defenders. The road ahead of them is either success or success. Only when all the troops are exhausted can they lose their position. As long as there is one person on the position, they must Stay on the position." Before Fang Hanqin reported anything, Yang Junran directly gave the order seriously.
"President, there is currently no situation in the frontline troops. The 39th Division has been reorganized to repel a Soviet attack. However, there are many Soviet tanks, and the Soviets also have an advantage in artillery. Commander Liu Zhi called and asked us to send reinforcements quickly. ." Fang Hanqin took a document and walked up to Yang Junran and said.
Yang Junran frowned tightly and read the message carefully.
By now, Yang Junran had to admit that the Soviet army's weapons and equipment were much stronger than his own, and judging from the current situation, the Soviet army also had an advantage in terms of numbers.
