Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    During this battle, the commander of the Fifth Division adopted the signature tactics of the Anti-Alliance.  Enemy troops within a range of 400 meters are handed over to squad members with automatic rifles and light machine guns.  Outside the 400-meter infantry fire range, the company-affiliated general-purpose machine gun and the battalion-affiliated 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and 60mm mortar were responsible for the leveling fire.  The fire suppression of the follow-up troops behind them is left to the battalion regiment's mortars and division's mountain field artillery.

    The fifth division has now completed its equipment change, and the entire division is equipped with automatic firearms.  The infantry is equipped with Type 81 automatic rifles with twenty-round magazines, Type 81 squad light machine guns equipped with drum magazines, and Type 81 general-purpose machine guns that are imitations of later PK general-purpose machine guns.  The firepower density of its infantry far exceeds that of all armies of this era.

    The current main resistance division, which has eliminated all manual rifles, has a squad's firepower density that is almost equal to that of an infantry company in the past.  Even though the infantry was the most well-equipped in this era, the German army only had one general-purpose machine gun in its establishment, and the rest were manual rifles. The German army was far from its opponent in terms of firepower density.  These automatic weapons formed a dense fire net in front of the Fifth Division's position, constantly devouring all enemy troops who dared to invade.

    Yang Zhen originally planned to use these weapons to deal with those little devils who were worse than beasts, but he did not expect that the first ones to try them would be the so-called allies of the Anti-Alliance.  At least on the surface, the Anti-League and the Mongolian People's Republic are barely allies.  It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t had direct contact with it before.

    Although the Anti-Japanese Alliance has been using airports in Mongolia as transit bases, the ones who came forward were all Soviets.  Those airports were also Soviet aviation bases.  Neither the pilots trained in Mongolia nor the liaison personnel later posted by the Anti-League had ever had contact with these Mongolians.  Of course, the Soviets also strictly controlled the anti-Union personnel and contacted the Mongols.

    But after all, at least now we are not enemies.  Although Yang Zhen didn't want to admit it, unless he wanted to risk a complete fallout with the Soviet Union, he could only lose his teeth and swallow blood.  He acquiesces to treating these separatists in his eyes as his allies.  Yang Zhen had never thought that these sophisticated weapons designed by himself would be the first to be used on his so-called ally.

    Facing the anti-Japanese resistance with all automatic firearms, those holding Mosin Nagant rifles that were taller than themselves with bayonets attached, and the Mongolian army's offensive in neat lines of skirmishers, were like sea langs in the hard  smashed into pieces on the embankment.  Its manned offensive, as well as its equally disjointed infantry and artillery coordination tactics, posed little threat to the defensive forces in the face of the dense fire network.

    The Deggarev light machine gun and the Maxim 1910 water-cooled heavy machine gun it is equipped with are no match for the 81-type general-purpose machine gun and the flat-firing 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.  Not long after the battle started, they were suppressed to death and could not play any role at all.

    The light and heavy mortars and field artillery that covered the attack were at a disadvantage during the artillery battle due to poor shooting accuracy, slow reaction speed, and the fact that the gun positions were never moved during the battle.  More than half of the twelve Soviet-made 76mm field guns of a field artillery battalion that covered the attack were destroyed by the artillery of the Fifth Division in one go.

    The spirit of these elite Mongolian troops is extremely commendable.  The rows of skirmishers are like waves.  The first wave of charges was defeated, and the second wave rushed up immediately without any pause.  The second wave of charges was defeated, and subsequent troops immediately followed.

    Of more than a dozen skirmishing lines, only one continued the attack without being defeated.  The infantry charge was defeated, and the cavalry immediately followed up and continued the charge, brandishing their sabers.  But the tactics they adopted have no use except to show that these people are brave and not afraid of death, and to make the scene very intense and tragic.

    The firepower was completely at a disadvantage, and the tactics were too rigid. The offensive of these Mongolian troops was destined to be in vain and the price paid was heavy.  The dozens of skirmisher lines it discharged, on the relatively narrow front, were swept away by rows and rows of dense bullets fired by the Fifth Division, raindrops of mortar shells, recoilless rifles, and anti-personnel explosive grenades fired by rocket launchers.  fall.

    Especially the six battalion-owned 12.7mm horizontal-firing anti-aircraft machine guns and the twelve Type 81 general-purpose machine guns deployed on the front caused huge casualties.  After the first day of fighting on the entire battlefield, the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and their horses were scattered all over the battlefield.

    During the first day of offensive operations, an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment transferred from the Mongolian army, two complete regiments were completely defeated within one day.  By the end of the fight, even the troops of the fifth division felt as if they were not fighting but massacred.

    And after paying such a heavy price, the Mongolian army, which deployed its best troops in the attack on the first day, only attacked the Fifth Division.??The depth of the advance was less than three kilometers.  Moreover, in the evening, the 13th Regiment of the 5th Division only organized two company-sized counterattacks to recover all the prominent points in the front-line positions and deep positions it captured.

    In other words, during this day-long battle, after paying the price of nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles and the defeat of two regiments, these Mongolian troops were left empty-handed and gained nothing.  In the evening, under the counterattack of the Fifth Division, they could not even hold the positions they had occupied, and were simply driven back to the starting point.

    After nightfall, the Mongolian army, which had suffered a heavy blow during the day and lost most of its tanks, armored vehicles and two entire regiments, finally recovered.  Instead of fighting hard during the day, they tried to use sneak attacks at night to defeat the resistance in one fell swoop.  Of course, if the night offensive conducted by the Mongolian army was also called a night attack in Wang Guangyu's eyes.

    Wang Guangyu, who was personally commanding the front line at that time, saw for the first time in his life that the army conducted a night attack. In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, although in order to cover the attack, artillery support was not even used.  The troops participating in the attack also used the cover of night to secretly advance to the front position of the Fifth Division, less than 600 meters away.

    But when the attack was officially launched, it was the same as a frontal attack during the day, as if it was afraid that others would not know that it was attacking.  With flares and a neat skirmish line lined up, five hundred meters away from the Fifth Division's position, they stood up and shouted to Ula that they were here to attack.  If this is also called a sneak attack, then this is the first time that King Guangyu has seen such a sneak attack.

    How can one do such an earth-shattering night attack in the face of such a well-equipped force?  After a night melee, under the intensive machine gun fire of the Fifth Division mixed with fierce artillery fire, they were beaten back without even touching the edge of the Fifth Division's position.  After the sneak attack failed, the Mongolian army, unwilling to admit defeat, launched several more futile night offensives.

    After a night of fierce fighting, not only did they fail to break through the Fifth Division's defense line, but they themselves lost troops and generals.  When the offensive completely stopped at dawn, a calculation revealed that he had thrown in a full regiment of troops.  Joined another group, but the result was still a pitiful zero.

    Actually, don¡¯t say they did anything earth-shattering, they just didn¡¯t.  Wang Guangyu, who had been on guard against them for a long time, had also made preparations for their night attack operations. The Fifth Division not only used the cover of night in the evening, but also redeployed daytime troops in front of their positions in the shortest possible time.  In the minefields destroyed by Mongolian artillery fire, Wang Guangyu also equipped the Fifth Division with a large number of illumination bombs.

    As soon as Ula shouted out the night offensive he launched, the troops who reacted quickly here immediately set off flares.  Before these night-attacking Mongolian troops could enter the effective range of the rifle machine guns, the on-duty artillery fire had already started.  This night attack was defeated with almost no effort on the part of Wang Guangyu.

    Faced with the results of the first day and the performance of the Mongolian army, Wang Guangyu immediately decided to concentrate on the 13th and 15th regiments of the 5th Division on the next day to launch a full-scale counterattack from the front.  The 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 14th Regiment of the 5th Division launched an encirclement from both wings.  At the same time, the only brigade stationed in Hailar was ordered to use two regiments to break through the Hailar River line to the north on the spot and cut off the retreat route of these Mongolian troops.  In order to completely annihilate these uninvited Mongolian troops in the shortest possible time.

    Perhaps it was the continuous fierce fighting on the first day that exhausted the courage of these Mongolian troops.  Perhaps its elite troops had been exhausted in the battle on the previous day, and the remaining troops were all troops with poor combat effectiveness.  Perhaps the remaining Mongolian troops were frightened by the brutal fighting on the previous day.

    When Wang Guangyu organized his troops to launch a full-scale counterattack under the cover of fierce and accurate artillery fire, the arrogant Mongolian army, which had not even built the simplest field fortifications and had been deployed offensively, only maintained a resistance of one  Within an hour the whole thing fell apart.

    Wang Guangyu commanded the counterattack troops and swept away these so-called powerful Mongolian People's Army like falling leaves swept away by the autumn wind.  And the remaining nearly 10,000 Mongolian troops were like chasing ducks. Except for those who were killed and captured, they were all surrounded in a narrow triangle between the Hailar River and the Teni River.

    After two days of fierce fighting, the fifth division and the previous cavalry brigade's casualties in fighting the Mongolian army alone paid a price of more than 500 people, killing and capturing more than 9,000 people of the so-called Mongolian People's Army.  Among the more than 2,000 prisoners of war, there were not only a large number of captain-level officers, but also a Mongolian army major general, five colonels and more than 30 Soviet advisers were captured during the encirclement battle.

    Among the captured Soviet-Mongolian coalition officers, one was the so-called deputy political commissar of the Eastern Front Cluster of the Mongolian People's Army.  oh.  This captured Mongolian army major general was the one who went to Qiqihar two days ago. He pretended to have Soviet support behind him, so Yang Zhen did not dare to really attack them.  Trying?Yang Zhen acquiesced to the fact that he occupied Hung Yen North Province as a Mongolian major general.

    As for the Soviet colonel who had a big quarrel with Yang Zhen in Qiqihar and made some remarks to make Yang Zhen look good, unfortunately, as the so-called general adviser of the Soviet army stationed in the eastern cluster of the Mongolian People's Army, he was not able to escape this time.  Lose.  He and the Mongolian major general became brothers and sisters, and they were also prisoners
