Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In these two days of fighting, the Fifth Division not only destroyed more than 60 tanks and more than 20 Soviet-made field guns of the Mongolian army.  Also seized were T-26 and BT-5 tanks, and more than 30 BA-1, 3, and 27-type armored vehicles.  Seventeen Soviet-made 76mm field guns and nine 120mm heavy mortars.

    In addition, there are seven 45mm combat defense guns, 13 82mm mortars, and 41 Soviet-made M1910 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns.  As for the standard equipment of the Mongolian army, Mosin-Nagan rifles, Deggarev light machine guns and large quantities of ammunition are piled up.  And took advantage of the situation to tightly surround the remaining nearly 10,000 Mongolian troops.

    In this battle, these so-called Mongolian People's Army were in addition to the main force of the previous 6th Cavalry Armored Division and part of the 8th Cavalry Armored Division.  The day before the arrival of the Fifth Division, a tank regiment equipped with T-26 tanks, two cavalry regiments, an infantry regiment and a border defense corps with the strength of a regiment were gradually added, plus two field artillery battalions and  A machine gun battalion.

    In order to regain their so-called territory, these Mongolian troops were mobilized in full force.  These forces are equivalent to 80% of the total strength of the Mongolian People's Army, and tanks and armored vehicles are equivalent to more than 95% of the overall strength.  If these forces are surrounded and annihilated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Mongolian People's Army will become a complete empty frame.

    When the total strength is added up, the Mongolian army that entered Xing'an North is almost equal to Wang Guangyu's fifth division and the first and first cavalry brigade.  In terms of heavy weapons, the Mongolian army has nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles, as well as more than 60 Soviet-made field guns and 120 mm heavy mortars.

    Its firepower configuration is actually better than that. Because of the march in the mountains, the division artillery only carries one mountain artillery battalion, plus two field artillery batteries.  The number of artillery shells for the Fifth Division was not sufficient due to transportation reasons.  Except for light weapons, the Fifth Division was far from being an opponent of these Mongolian armies in terms of firepower.

    Under the premise that the strength of both sides was roughly equal and they had the advantage of heavy weapons, they were defeated completely.  In just two days, more than half were killed, wounded, and captured, and basically all heavy weapons were lost.  The remaining troops were surrounded by Wang Guangyu's division, most of the cavalry brigade, and a regiment in a place so big that a single cannonball could blow up a company.  With such a result, it is no wonder that Wang Guangyu despises these bullshit Mongolian People's Army.

    The disproportionate number of casualties during the battle made Wang Guangyu think that he was not dealing with a well-equipped army, but a group of armed bandits.  You know, when Wang Guangyu wiped out the bandits in the Nenjiang Military Region in the previous stage, the casualty price he paid was higher than this number.

    Wang Guangyu believes that let alone the Kwantung Army, even if it were replaced by the Puppet Manchukuo Army, or even the old Northeastern Army, with the same strength and firepower, they would not be able to fight like this.  These so-called offensives of the Mongolian People's Army are only three-dimensional at best.  After overcoming their three axes, they were basically helpless.

    After the battle, Wang Guangyu and the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division who participated in the battle as the main force, instead of feeling the joy of victory, felt like they had been punched into the garbage.  Especially the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division were quite dissatisfied.  It seemed as if the reputation of his main division had been insulted by fighting such an army.

    In their view, this kind of army can be easily dealt with by even military divisional units, and there is no need for their first-class main division at all.  You know, during the battle, facing these Mongolian troops equipped with tanks and artillery, which had absolute equipment advantages, Wang Guangyu was originally prepared to pay two thousand casualties.  But he didn't expect that the total amount would be less than a quarter of the original plan.

    After two days of fierce fighting, Wang Guangyu not only looked down upon these Mongolian troops, but directly called them garbage.  Even the Soviet Red Army, which trained these Mongolian troops, looked down upon them somewhat.  With the disciple fighting like this, one can imagine the level of the master, and it is probably not much higher.

    Not only the tactics and strategies of these Mongolian armies, including their military uniforms, were almost completely copied from the Soviet army, but all their training was also trained by the Soviet army.  Then one can imagine the true combat effectiveness of the Soviet troops behind them.

    No wonder the little devil shouted loudly that one division could annihilate three Soviet divisions.  Without its powerful fire support, according to their tactical level and the real combat effectiveness of the little devils, a regiment could really defeat one of their divisions.

    In Wang Guangyu¡¯s view, if his superiors allow him to enter Mongolia, he will not need to mobilize any reinforcements for the fifth division, which is assigned a brigade and a cavalry brigade.  As long as the logistics supply is ensured, it will be enough to sweep across the so-called Mongolian People's Republic.  That's why he proposed to work together to completely deal with the Mongolian troops in the encirclement circle.

    Wang Guangyu can do it all at once, and change??No military commander would give up such an opportunity.  But as the top military commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he also wanted to annihilate these uninvited Mongolian troops in the Hailar River Basin.  But Yang Zhen knew that he couldn't be so hasty.

    This time the beating hurt the dog, but the owner behind it finally came forward.  Wang Guangyu almost ate up more than half of the so-called Eastern Group, which accounted for 80% of the entire Mongolian People's Army, 90% of its heavy equipment, and almost all of its armored units, and surrounded the remaining troops.  Especially when Wang Guangyu captured more than 30 Soviet advisers from the Mongolian army in one fell swoop, it was normal for the Soviets to be unable to sit still.

    On the day Wang Guangyu launched a full-scale counterattack, Colonel Kovalev had already arrived at Hailar via a detour through Mongolia.  He did not come by himself, but with the chief of staff of the Soviet Army Group in Mongolia.  Obviously, the situation of the Mongolian army in North Hung Yen Province made the Soviets behind them really restless.

    After receiving the report that Kovalev was coming, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to see them. He crossed the Hailar River to join Wang Guangyu.  As soon as the two of them arrived, Yang Zhen knew that his plan to annihilate these Mongolian troops might not be realized.  The Soviets would not sit back and watch their own captive dogs being neatly eaten by them.

    "If the Mongolian troops who really entered Xing'an North were killed by themselves, it would mean that the so-called Mongolian People's Army was completely destroyed.  The remaining First Cavalry Armored Division stationed in Ulaanbaatar, which has only more than 3,000 troops, is simply unable to shoulder the task of guarding more than one million square kilometers.

    And with the annihilation of these so-called Mongolian People's Army, the huge amount of capital invested by the Soviets in these armies to support this regime and army was all in vain.  Unless the Soviets want to completely abandon Mongolia, a large number of Soviet troops will be contained in Mongolia until new troops are trained to replace the annihilated Mongolian troops.

    From another point of view, no one can tell whether Mongolia, with a total population of only more than 700,000, can still muster more than 20,000 troops without equipment.  And without the support of the army, can those in Ulaanbaatar survive?  Whether this regime built on bayonets can still be stable is still unknown.

    This is absolutely unacceptable to the Soviets, who are currently focusing their main attention on the Western Front.  As for asking the Soviets to spit out the fat that has already reached their mouths, that is even more impossible.  The world has only seen them taking advantage of the international situation and the civil strife in neighboring countries to annex a lot of other people's territories.  When have you ever seen them spit it out?

    To be honest, if he hadn't considered the Soviets behind him, Yang Zhen would have really wanted to annihilate all these people who were desperate and unwilling to save them in one go to the north of the Hailar River, and even go so far as to regain Outer Mongolia, a piece of China that was torn apart by outsiders.  open territory.

    But reality is reality after all, and a dream can only be a dream.  Unless he really plans to cut off all external channels and meet the Soviets on the battlefield.  Otherwise, his dream of regaining Outer Mongolia can still only be kept as a dream, and at least there is no possibility of it being realized within a certain period of time.

    Since the dream cannot be realized for the time being, how to use the nearly 10,000 so-called Mongolian People's Army and the dozens of Soviet advisers on hand as hostages to get as much benefit from the Soviets as possible, Yang Zhen  I feel that this is what I should consider more now.

    Judging from the current development of the situation, Yang Zhen can accurately judge that these things were not instructed by Moscow.  It should be a decision made privately by the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia under the instigation of senior Mongolian officials.  But just because it was not authorized by Moscow, it does not mean that Moscow is not aware of it.

    Judging from the strength of the Soviet leader¡¯s control over the Soviet army and Outer Mongolia, any movement in Mongolia cannot be hidden from Moscow.  Although this action of the Mongols was not necessarily directed by Moscow.  But Yang Zhen believes that Moscow can just sit back and watch.  If he kept silent, the Soviets would naturally be happy to take advantage.  If you don't admit it, you can just introduce two scapegoats at most.

    Anyway, the Soviets have the confidence to believe that even if they win, as long as the Soviet troops are still in Mongolia, they will not be able to easily march into Mongolia.  Unless you dare to risk fighting on both sides and directly fall out with the Soviet Union.  It was precisely because they had grasped their own lifeline that they had this confidence.

    "I'm afraid the Soviets didn't expect that the Mongolian People's Army, which they trained first-hand and was called the Little Soviet Army in East Asia, would be so unstoppable.  In just two days, nearly 20,000 well-equipped troops were swept away in a frantic sweep, most of them annihilated and captured, and the rest were tightly surrounded.

    If your dog is eaten by others, how can you look after your home and care for your home?  The Mongolian army was fighting like this, which made the Soviets lose their composure and rush to show off.These remnant soldiers will be defeated and will go back.  Although he guessed the Soviet Union's intentions, Yang Zhen was helpless.

    Therefore, in response to Wang Guangyu's request to annihilate them all in one go, Yang Zhen could only shake his head slightly, sighed slightly and said: "Kovalev and the Chief of Staff of the Soviet Army in Mongolia have arrived at Hailar, and they are annihilating them now.  The possibility of this Mongolian army is almost gone. We are beating the dog here, but someone over there is losing his temper. "
