Chapter 213: Surprise Attack on Kulen (7)

In this offensive, Ouyang Longxing did not arrange very complicated tactics, that is, to focus on the armored motorized troops, with the tank battalion and the three companies of the motorized battalion as the main offensive force, respectively, from the three directions of the battlefield, to the Mongolian army's large battalion frontal attack, and the infantry then coordinated.

However, the purpose of this battle is not only to defeat the Mongol army, but to encircle and annihilate the Mongol army as much as possible, preferably all, which brings a certain degree of difficulty to Ouyang Longxing, after all, the Mongolian army has more troops than the people's army, and most of them are cavalry, so once they disperse and flee, it is indeed impossible to prevent it, but fortunately, the large camp of the Mongolian army is stationed by the lake, and only three sides can attack, so that the people's army can concentrate its forces, and the cavalry brigades of the people's army are all in place, which also gives Ouyang Longxing a larger tactical space。

So Ouyang Longxing ordered the cavalry to be responsible for intercepting and pursuing the fleeing enemy troops on the periphery of the battlefield, or arranged a cavalry by the river to prevent the Mongol army from escaping by the river.

Just after dawn the next morning, the KPA launched an all-out assault on the camp of the Mongol army.

At this time, in the camp of the Mongol army, several main generals did not realize that in fact, their own safety and success or failure were in the other party's thoughts. Although the Mongolian army had already learned the power of the KPA's armored motorized units in the battle of attacking the KPA's logistics convoy, several commanders had never thought about how the KPA would respond if the KPA attacked its own battalion with mainly tanks and armored vehicles, and whether its battalion could withstand the onslaught of tanks.

In fact, this is not unexpected, because several of the main generals of the Mongolian army are not serious eight-cornered soldiers, although Damuddin ** and Maksarzab are considered military generals, they are all nobles, just hang a military position, and usually only practice some techniques such as horseback riding and archery. Tauktau Hu are all horse thieves, and they have some actual combat experience, but they are only limited to rogue wandering and plundering; Haishan has some world vision, but he is not a professional soldier, not to mention that at this time Haishan has returned to Kulen to ask Russian officers for advice on how to deal with it, in fact, these people are all laymen in modern warfare, and tank and armor tactics belong to an absolutely advanced combat mode in this era, and these people naturally do not understand it.

It is precisely because the ignorant are fearless that the large battalion of the Mongol army passed more than ten days calmly. And no one realizes that they are actually sitting on the crater, and the crisis will come at any time, it just depends on when the KPA attacks.

And at this time, the blow of the KPA finally came.

Although there was only 1 tank company and 12 tanks in each direction, it was by no means able to resist the simple fortifications of the Mongol camp, and the tanks smashed the wooden fence of the camp in many places during the continuous fire of the main guns on the way forward. However, on the periphery of the Mongolian army camp, a trench more than 3 meters wide and 1.5 meters deep was dug and filled with antlers, which brought some trouble to the KPA attack.

In fact, this kind of trench is purely used to block the enemy's advance, which is almost useless in modern warfare, because only a wooden ladder and a wooden plank can allow soldiers to easily cross the trench, and the war horse can jump over, which cannot stop the enemy's attack at all, on the contrary, it also affects the activity scheduling ability of their own army.

The camp layout of the Mongolian army is according to the teaching of the Russian officers, although it is not considered to be arranged in a lawful, and the advance and retreat are orderly, but it is also a Chinese drama, only this trench is indeed added by Damudin**, Maksarzab and others by their own cleverness, if the Russian officers know, it will definitely be very angry. However, it is a very effective fortification for tanks, because it is difficult for any tank to cross a trench of more than 3 meters. This is one of the reasons why the Mongol army is still fearless.

However, the tank is known as the king of land warfare in the old time and space, of course, it will not be stumped by a small obstacle, not to mention the trench type of obstacles, which is very common on the battlefield, so it has already summed up a variety of tactics to let the tank cross the trench, and in the waiting days, the People's Army has also carried out many exercises, and has already been trained very well, in each side of the attacking troops, have arranged 6 trucks full of sand, and follow behind the tank, in a backward way.

When marching to the edge of the trench, the tank turned and continued along the edge of the trench, the turret of the main gun rotated 90 degrees and continued to fire at the camp of the Mongol army, suppressing the counterattack in the camp, while the truck dumped directly to the edge of the trench and dumped all the sand into the trench. Although a cart of sand and soil can't fill all the trenches, it has also filled six or seventy percent, which is enough for the tank to pass, after all, ordinary tanks have a certain ability to climb slopes and overcome obstacles.

After pouring the sand, the trucks immediately retreated, and the tanks crossed the trench from the sand-filled area, and then there was no obstacle to stop the tanks, so they all went straight to the camp of the Mongol army.

The trench is only a few dozen meters away from the camp of the Mongolian army, and it has long been within the range of the Mongolian army, in fact, of course, there are soldiers guarding the camp of the Mongolian army, and after the tank enters the firing range, the Mongolian soldiers guarding the camp have opened fire, but it is useless to hit the tank "ping pong". On the contrary, the main guns and machine guns of the tanks were allowed to open fire, killing and wounding countless Mongolian soldiers guarding the camp.

At this time, the firepower in the Mongol camp was greatly reduced, but a group of brave cavalrymen, wielding spears and sabers, launched a charge against the tanks. It's just that although the courage of the Mongolian soldiers is commendable, in the face of the torrent of steel, the flesh and blood are not vulnerable at all, the spears are broken, the sabers are curled, and the men and horses are directly crushed by the tank, crushed into flesh, and they can't stop the tank's advance by half a step.

After a short time, the tanks smashed through the broken wooden fence wall one after another, rushed into the camp of the Mongol army, and then rampage through the camp, blocking people, horses, tents, vehicles, etc., either knocked open or crushed, as if entering a no-man's land. The tank's main guns and machine guns opened fire fiercely in the camp, causing countless casualties among the Mongol soldiers, and their corpses were scattered all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

The infantry of the People's Army also entered the camp of the Mongolian army with the tank, and the camp was suddenly in chaos, and the soldiers fled one after another, but at this time, the People's Army besieged the camp of the Mongolian army from three sides, and had formed a situation of encirclement, and it was even more difficult to break through the encirclement and escape company of the People's Army, even if a few soldiers were able to break through successfully, there were still peripheral People's Army cavalry waiting for them.

The camp was besieged by the People's Army in the east, west and north, and only the south faced the river, which was considered to be an open net, so many Mongolian soldiers could only flee to the south when they were cornered, but they could not escape far, they were blocked by the big river, and there was no way to escape, and there were still cavalry guards of the People's Army on the bank, and they could not escape along the river bank. At this time, behind him, the People's Army had pursued over, some Mongolian soldiers who knew how to water could only abandon their horses and throw their guns, jump into the river and swim to the opposite bank, but the People's Army cavalry guarding the river bank raised their guns and shot, killing most of the Mongolian soldiers in the water, and at this time several tanks had been killed by the river, seeing the tanks, the Mongolian soldiers were immediately frightened, and they fled to the river regardless of whether they knew the water or not, and many people did not know the water, and did not plan to go into the river to hide, but they were also dragged into the water by other soldiers, and countless people were drowned。

By this time, the Mongol army had no fighting spirit and no way to escape, and the power of the tanks had frightened most of the Mongol soldiers, so some Mongol soldiers had to lay down their weapons and surrender to the KPA.

Of course, the KPA will not kill the Mongolian soldiers who have surrendered, but will only gather the surrendered soldiers, send special personnel to guard them, and leave a few troop transport armored vehicles to guard them.

When the other Mongol soldiers saw that those who surrendered could survive, they all gave up resistance and surrendered to the People's Army, and as a result, more and more Mongol soldiers surrendered, and the fighting gradually subsided.

After Ouyang Longxing received the report, he was also very happy, this battle was really too smooth, so he also hurriedly took his own guards and rushed to the battlefield to command the post-battle clean-up work.

In fact, the battle did not last long, less than 2 hours, and the clean-up work was carried out until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after all, the Mongol army had nearly 20,000 people, which is not a small number.

The result of the final count was that a total of 6,817 Mongolian soldiers were killed, 12,532 were captured, and only 2 or 300 Mongolian soldiers escaped, which can basically be regarded as a total annihilation of the Mongolian army. During the counting of prisoners, Damuddin** and Babu Zab were found, and among the dead Mongol soldiers, the bodies of Maksar Zab and Tauk Tau Hu were found.

In this battle, more than 10,000 horses were captured, which was a huge wealth, but in addition, the other trophies were lackluster, and the Bijing Mongol army was actually an old-style army, except for some grain and forage, there were not many valuable materials.

The KPA itself suffered 45 casualties and 312 wounded, which can be said to be very small. In this battle, the strong combat effectiveness of the armored forces was once again demonstrated, and it also proved that the direction of the development of the KPA was correct.
