On July 1, 1939, the Japanese launched an offensive and advanced to the banks of the Haraha River, where preparations began to be made to cross the river to eliminate the Soviet-Mongolian forces on the west bank. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lieutenant General Komatsubara, commander of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, quickly formulated an operational plan for the two sides of the strait to flank the Soviet-Mongolian army, which was adopted.

He planned to use the 26th and 28th Infantry Wings of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army as the main force, cross the river from the upper reaches of the Haraha River, enter the Hamardaba Mountain on the west bank, seize the artillery positions of the Soviet-Mongolian army, establish the Japanese army's own artillery positions, and then take a condescending geographical advantage to shell the nearby Soviet-Mongolian army positions.

The 23rd Division, the 1st Tank Division, and the Manchukuo Xing'an Cavalry Division (regimental establishment) attacked the Soviet-Mongolian army on the east bank of the Haraha River from the front, forming a flanking attack to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army.

In the early morning of July 3, the 26th and 28th Wings of the Japanese Army, under the personal command of Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, the commander of the division, successfully crossed the Haraha River and drove towards Bayingchagang Mountain, preparing to attack the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces at Bayingchagang Mountain.

The Sixth Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Army and a regiment of the Soviet Red Army were defending Bayingchagang Mountain, which was inferior in terms of strength and combat experience.

In the history we know, the defense of Bayingchagang Mountain was not enough troops, and the preparation was not sufficient, and it was captured by the Japanese army in one morning.

But the appearance of Manturov changed the tide of the war.

Early in the morning, Michitaro Komatsubara, who commanded the Japanese army's sneak attack, was using a telescope to observe the movement of the Mongolian army's position on Bayingchagang Mountain.

On the positions ahead, the fighters of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army were ready for battle. Everyone was in position, holding AVS-36 automatic rifles or DP light machine guns, and some were standing in front of mortars, looking like they were attacking.

Looking at the high ground above, a series of artillery has been erected, and the Soviet artillery is ready to shell at any time.

Seeing this scene, Michitaro Komatsubara did not retreat because the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces were well prepared. For those Japanese devils who have been trained in the spirit of bushido, the word "retreat" is not included in the dictionary.

Besides, they had already spent a lot of time marching and hard work to get to the Soviet-Mongolian positions. Haven't attacked yet, retreated before you have failed? How can it be?

After finding out the situation, the Japanese troops under the command of Michitaro Komatsubara lined up in a neat line, preparing to storm the Soviet-Mongolian positions in front.

Ready to attack, Michitaro Komatsubara drew his command knife and pointed the tip of his knife at the trench on Mount Bayinchagang ahead, bound to take the high ground.

Once successful, the left flank of the Soviet army will face a major threat, and the Japanese army will be able to launch a pincer attack on the Soviet-Mongolian forces from both the east and north.

"Kill Karma!" In a majestic, heroic tone, Michitaro Komatsubara gave the order to attack the entire Japanese army.

When the Japanese troops in front received the order, they let out a loud roar. The infantry of the two wings rushed forward like a tide.

Seeing that the Japanese army was attacking, the artillery on Bayingchagang Mountain immediately fired artillery to block it.

Suddenly, the originally peaceful atmosphere was destroyed by the roar of the Japanese army and the sound of fierce artillery fire, and the originally faintly audible animal cries have been completely drowned out by the sound of guns and the shouts of the Japanese army.

In this area, which has been deserted for many years, an area that has been quiet for many years, the sound of artillery fire sounded in this way, and a melee between a thousand people took place.

Although the Soviet artillery fire was fierce, the first round of shelling did not achieve much effect, and only a few Japanese soldiers fell in the first charge.

In this vast grassland, in order to reduce the casualties caused by the Soviet artillery bombardment, the Japanese positions were very open and scattered. In this way, the hit rate of Soviet artillery was reduced, and it was difficult to solve several people with one shot.

The surviving Japanese troops avoided heavy artillery shelling and rushed not far in front of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition formation. Facing the second challenge - mortars.

This time, due to the relatively close distance of the Japanese army, the aiming difficulty of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army has been reduced, and the hit rate has also increased. The mortar artillerymen of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army, one of them put shells into the barrel of the mortar like a machine, and the other took a slight aim, repeatedly pulling the line and firing.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The roar of the mortars was even denser than the sound of the shelling just now, and the Japanese troops who were hit by the artillery fire were also a lot more than just now, but they ran a little fast, and the platoon was relatively scattered, and the total number of people who were bombed was dozens, but there was no mortar repulsion.

They rushed to the position of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army, aimed at the enemy with the 38 bars in their hands, and fired continuously.

These Japanese troops all belonged to the 7th Division of the Japanese Army. As mentioned earlier, this unit is recognized as the most effective unit in the Japanese army. This division is a very hard brand and very famous in the Japanese army, and it is also the double ace of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and the combat quality and fighting will of the soldiers are extraordinary!

As the elite of the Japanese Army, these soldiers had good shooting ability. Even if he is holding a single-shot 38 bar, he is still not inferior to the repeating rifles and machine guns of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army.

One of them, they aimed at the heads of Soviet and Mongolian soldiers, killing many people at once.

However, the Soviet-Mongolian forces, armed with repeating rifles and DP light machine guns, also showed their due combat capabilities. Under the fire of the repeating guns, the Japanese who rushed to the front fell one by one.

But the Japanese devils, who are influenced by the spirit of bushido, do not surrender because they are shot or two. The man who was shot and did not die stood up again, holding the 38 bars and continuing to rush forward with the Soviet army, but soon hit the second and third shots, and finally died on this steppe.

After a while, the second group of Japanese troops began to charge, while the first units were still stubbornly attacking.

Although the scale of this charge was larger, after the second group of troops rushed up, the battle situation of the Japanese army did not improve, and the battle situation of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army did not deteriorate.

More Japanese troops, on the contrary, made their lineup denser, more convenient for the Soviet-Mongolian forces to fire with rifles and mortars.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Japanese still did not seize the Mongolian position, the two sides still shot at each other near the position, and the charging Japanese devils fell one after another, but the casualty figure of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army was not low.

Just before the battle took place, the commander of the position had already reported the situation to the command, and after Zhukov learned the news of the attack on Bayingchagangshan, he rushed to Bayingchagangshan to personally direct the battle, and issued three orders in succession: order the heavy artillery battalion of the 185th Artillery Regiment to send a reconnaissance group and launch an artillery bombardment of the Japanese assembly area; The artillery located on the east bank of the river to support the 9th Motorized Armored Brigade shelled the Japanese troops on Bayingchagang Mountain; Ordered all Soviet planes to take off after receiving a combat alert.

After receiving the order, the Soviet artillery fire became intensive, and the charging Japanese troops were also bombarded by the artillery fire of the Soviet reinforcements.

More than a dozen fighter planes roared from the sky, and the pilots aimed at the attacking Japanese troops, carpet strafing with aviation machine guns, and attacking the Japanese devils with rockets.

Soviet reinforcements soon worked, and with the reinforcement of aircraft and artillery fire, the Japanese sneak attack team suffered more and more casualties. However, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces on Bayingchagang Mountain still held their positions and had no intention of retreating.

After a long period of failure and heavy losses, Michitaro Komatsubara had no choice but to order to stop the attack and take a short break from the new position before making a comeback.

At this time, Soviet reinforcements arrived, and 150 tanks and 154 armored vehicles appeared in front of the Japanese army, rushing towards them with high spirits.

They never imagined that the Soviet army, which was inferior in strength, would dare to launch a counterattack.
