First of all, the People's Army is fighting a brigade of the Russian army with one division, so it has a relatively obvious advantage in terms of troops; moreover, now the People's Army is attacking from three sides, and it can fully develop its superiority in strength, while the Russian army is trapped in a corner, so it is inferior to the People's Army in terms of troop distribution.

In fact, the concentration of troops like the Russian army also has a certain advantage, that is, it is on the inner line, so that the deployment of troops is faster than that of the people's army, and can better support and control the overall situation, and can form superior forces in the local battlefield, so as long as the deployment of troops is appropriate, it may not be disadvantageous. But this requires the Russian army to have a good organization and unified command, but unfortunately now the Russian army does not have these two conditions, because at the beginning of the war, the People's Army's artillery bombardment of the Russian army disrupted the organization of the Russian army, and the People's Army took advantage of the situation to kill, so that the Russian army did not have time to reorganize and reorganize.

Now staying in the command headquarters has lost most of the information on the situation of the troops, because the shelling of the People's Army just now caused many units of the Russian army to transfer their positions or positions, although these troops also sent signal troops to the general headquarters to report their new positions in a timely manner, but then the People's Army attacked the positions of the Russian army, and many Russian troops did not wait for the communication troops to report, and then transferred, even the communication soldiers could not find their own team there, and some signal soldiers died on the way, so now Stritch can only control the two battalions closest to the headquarters and his own guard team, and naturally lost the command and control of the whole army, while the rest of the Russian army can only fight on its own.

The People's Army, on the other hand, is different, although after entering the positions of the Russian army, the People's Army has also been dispersed into battalions to fight separately, but there is an essential difference between the Russian army's separate battles, and the scattered units of the People's Army have close ties with their own superiors, and the regimental headquarters knows where its three battalions are and what battles they are fighting, while the division also knows the situation of the regiments under it, and conducts comprehensive command and dispatch from the overall situation.

In fact, the individual combat effectiveness of the Russian soldiers is still quite good, and the sense of honor of the soldiers and the nature of the fighting nation also make the fighting spirit of the Russian soldiers not inferior to the fighters of the People's Army, so in a one-on-one situation, there is a good chance that the winners are Russian soldiers. However, the battlefield is not a competition for the combat ability of individual soldiers, and the soldiers of the People's Army will not engage in white-knuckle combat with Russian soldiers one-on-one, but rely on group cooperation, as small as a squad or even a war group, as large as a company, or even a battalion, not to mention the overall command of the division headquarters behind the scenes. The People's Army should cooperate with each other at different times, and its combat efficiency will naturally be much higher than that of the Russian army.

As a result, the strongholds of the Russian army were lost one after another, and the scattered teams were either annihilated by the People's Army or were beaten more scattered, and the People's Army gradually controlled the situation on the battlefield, and the positions controlled by the Russian army were also constantly decreasing.

By about 8 o'clock in the morning, the Russian army's position had lost nearly 70 percent, the defeat was assured and irretrievable, and even the headquarters of Stritch was surrounded by the KPA, with only two companies and their own guards around them, a total of about 600 people.

It turned out that at the beginning, it was only the 1st Regiment, the 3rd Battalion, and the 2nd Company discovered the headquarters of the Russian army, but it was not yet full of light at that time, and the 2nd Company launched an attack without seeing it clearly. Since the battlefield was nearing the end at this time, it was easy to find a piece of fat with hundreds of people, so the 3rd battalion immediately pulled the whole battalion over.

In fact, when he was attacked by the 2nd Company, Stritch knew that the situation was not good, so he also ordered the whole army to retreat, but because he saw that the KPA did not have many troops, he was not too anxious, after all, the military headquarters of a brigade still had a lot of things, some to be cut down, some to be taken away, and Stritch decided to leave the last 30 minutes to deal with these things.

But Stritch didn't expect that in less than 20 minutes, the People's Army suddenly increased its troops, which was no less than the Russian army, and then the Russian army could not retreat calmly, at least stop and resist for a while, stabilize the battlefield first, and then look for an opportunity to evacuate. Of course, at this time, the Russian army can still be immediately broken into pieces and dispersed into squads and platoons to disperse and evacuate. In this way, although the team was scattered, because the strength of the two sides was roughly equal at this time, the Russian army was reduced to zero, and the KPA did not have enough troops to carry out a comprehensive interception, and at least half of the personnel could escape from the battlefield. And Stritch is mixed in a small team, and the probability of escaping from the battlefield should be more than fifty percent, but if he is unlucky and is targeted by the People's Army, he basically can't escape. Burstridge's cautious disposition would not have resorted to such a risky strategy unless he had to do so, so he ordered the whole army to organize resistance on the spot.

After all, the People's Army and the Russian army have fought several big battles, and they also have a considerable understanding of the characteristics of the Russian army, so the commander of the 3rd battalion also realized that what he found was not a big piece of fat, but a big fish. So the battalion commander commanded the battle on the one hand, and reported to the regiment headquarters on the other.

After receiving the report, the regimental headquarters of the 1st Regiment naturally dared to be careless, after all, if it could trap the enemy's command and capture the supreme commander of the enemy's army, of course, it would be a great merit, and now that the overall situation has been decided, the other troops have no important tasks, so the 1st Regiment immediately transferred troops from other units to reinforce, and soon the regimental headquarters mobilized 3 companies to rush to reinforce the 3rd battalion.

Originally, the Russian army and the People's Army fought fiercely and had stabilized their positions, and Stritch was also planning to leave two companies to block the People's Army and lead his own guards to evacuate, but the three companies reinforced by the People's Army arrived and completely broke Stritch's plan. It can be said that Stritch's every step is one trick off, and now it is extremely dangerous. At this time, Stritch had no other way but to order the whole army to be divided into parts, and to break through with squads and platoons as units. After giving the order, Stritch took only 2 squads of guards and evacuated from the battlefield. It's not that Stritch doesn't want to bring more people, but he is worried that there will be too many people and attract the attention of the KPA.

However, it is too late for the Russian army to break into pieces at this time, because now the strength of the People's Army is almost twice that of the Russian army, and of course there are enough troops to intercept the small forces of the Russian army, and as a result, some small Russian troops were completely annihilated by the People's Army, some were scattered, and some were surrounded.

Stritch's bad luck was that he was surrounded by a platoon of the KPA, and nearly half of the guards around him were killed, and in desperation, Stridge had to surrender to the KPA and confess his identity to the KPA soldiers, of course, it was not okay not to confess, because Stridge was wearing a general's uniform, and his identity had been exposed.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the battle was completely over, and the KPA achieved a complete victory, killing 3,427 Russian troops, capturing 2,869, and less than 1,000 Russian soldiers fled, and capturing the Russian brigade commander, Major General Stritch, who was also a prisoner of the highest rank of the Russian army captured in the Far Eastern theater of operations. The KPA suffered 382 casualties and 477 wounded.

The 2nd Division and the 71st Division of the Russian Army, which followed up later, had already arrived at the cockscomb and were marching to Xiyang Mountain, and after learning that the 2nd Brigade had been annihilated, it naturally did not dare to move forward and hurriedly retreated, while the 1st Division of the People's Army wanted to rest on the spot and clean up the battlefield, so the 6th Division crossed the 1st Division and met the Russian army. However, the Russian army of 2 divisions faced 1 division of the People's Army, but did not dare to respond to the battle, and retreated until Dadaoshan to stop its footing.

Luo Yue was also very happy to receive the battle report, and the victory on both the northern and southern fronts was achieved, although both victories were not decisive battles, but they also made a good start for the Far Eastern Theater. Moreover, through the interrogation of the Russian prisoners, and the interrogation of Stridge, Luo Yue basically understood the tactical plan and troop deployment of the Russian army, so that he could arrange it calmly.

Although the People's Army has won victories on both the north and south fronts, the progress on both sides is not the same, the Russian army on the northern front retreated to Shichangling and the People's Army to hold on, while the Russian army on the southern front is still in Dadaoshan, from the map, the Russian army on the southern front is about 20 kilometers ahead of the Russian army on the northern front, and the straight-line distance has reached 40 kilometers, this is because the People's Army on the southern front uses the tactics of luring the enemy into depth, so the position of the Russian army on the southern front is relatively prominent, and the two sides are now in a state of staggered layout, the People's Army on the northern line and the Russian army on the southern front are on their flanks, there is a huge gap。

Luo Yue immediately realized that the fighter plane he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, if he could make full use of this gap at this time, draw a division of troops from the northern front, go straight to the southern front, cut off the retreat of the Russian army on the southern front, and work together with the two divisions on the southern front to annihilate the two divisions of the Russian army on the southern front, then the people's army would be able to win this battle.

So Luo Yue immediately recruited staff officers to discuss the feasibility of this plan, and after discussion, everyone believed that although this plan was quite certain, there were also great risks, and at present, it seems that the risks are mainly in two aspects, one is that after the People's Army on the northern front sends a division to the south, there will only be one division left to fight against the Russian army, and the Russian army on the northern front still has 2 divisions and a regiment, because the division level of the Russian army is the same as that of the Japanese army, under the jurisdiction of two brigades, that is, 4 regiments, the number of people is about 20% more than the division of the people's army, so the strength of the two sides is almost 3: 1, the disparity is too great, if the Russian army on the southern front cannot be annihilated before the KPA on the northern front is broken through by the Russian army, then the war situation will become extremely unfavorable for the KPA. However, on the southern front, there are three divisions of the People's Army against two divisions of the Russian army, and due to the different establishments of the two sides, the actual superiority in strength is not great, only 10:8, and it is not easy to annihilate the Russian army on the southern front, at least it will not succeed in a short period of time; second, the Russian army on the northern front may reinforce the southern front, and the People's Army must allocate a part of its forces to block the reinforcements of the Russian army; although the People's Army still has four regiments in reserve, the strength is not enough.
