When the Soviet tanks rushed to the front of the Japanese army, there would always be a large group of imps with explosives strapped to their bodies rushing out of the trenches, running to the tanks and armored vehicles to detonate the bombs on their bodies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In modern times, a single suicide bombing would have made international headlines, but in those days, the Soviets had to deal with hundreds of suicide bombings.

Although the firepower of the Soviet army was very fierce and intensive, and most of the bomb maniacs were killed by machine guns or directly killed by tank guns, because the number of death squads was too large, there were still a certain number of little devils who successfully rushed to the tanks and armored vehicles and detonated the bombs on their bodies, causing the Soviet army to lose more than 20 tanks and more than 10 armored vehicles.

On the west, south, and north flanks, the Soviets could not capture the Japanese positions no matter how they attacked. Some Soviet units suffered heavy casualties, and the commander of the unit asked for a pause in the offensive, a short rest, and then another attack. However, the time was too short, and Zhukov not only did not agree to the request of those commanders to suspend the offensive, but also withdrew two division commanders who "disobeyed orders" as a warning.

The Soviet troops had no choice but to continue the attack, but the Soviet troops on the northeast side not only could not attack, but also encountered a fierce counterattack by the enemy.

And because the main forces of the Soviet army were on the west, south and north sides of the Japanese army, and the troops on the east side were relatively small, the encirclement troops of the Soviet army fell into a bitter battle for a time under the fierce counterattack of the RB devils.

The news of the Japanese breakthrough soon reached the headquarters, and Zhukov and Manturov, who had a headache because of the unsatisfactory progress of the counteroffensive, felt even more headache when they heard the news that the Japanese army was trying to break through from the east, which had plunged the Soviet army into a bitter battle.

"Comrade Zhukov, how many reserves do we have that can fall to the east?" Apart from sending reinforcements from reserves, Manturov could no longer think of a better solution.

"We also have two infantry divisions, just transferred." Zhukov looked at the lower left corner of the map and replied to Manturov.

"But those two infantry divisions are still on the west bank of the Haraha River, more than 20 kilometers away from their destination, can they reach the east side in enough time?"

Zhukov thought for a moment and said what he thought. "Not necessarily. We must first transfer the 212th Airborne to the east, and the troops on the eastern flank should be able to hold out for enough time.

At the same time, the two reserve infantry divisions were ordered to rush to the east as fast as possible, block the Japanese breakthrough point with superior forces, prevent the Japanese from breaking through, and then, together with the rest of the troops, launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, striving to destroy the enemy within three days. ”

On the battlefield, Manturov is only a time-traveler who uses modern memories to open up, and in terms of military talent, he is only average. Zhukov, on the other hand, is rich in military knowledge and has enough military experience to deal with any changes on the battlefield and make appropriate decisions in this way.

"Comrade Zhukov, your proposal is good, so let's decide." As a military commissar, all military orders must pass through him.

In the early days of the war, most of the orders were his own ideas, but later, when later generations could not remember it, most of the orders were made by Zhukov and signed by Manturov.

Shortly before the order was issued, the Japanese 14th Division had launched a counteroffensive against the Soviet troops on the northeast outer flank, intending to unite the Japanese forces in the encirclement, but encountered the Soviet 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade.

In the area 8 kilometers north of Urad Ula Aobao SX, that is, the area where the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 9th Brigade of the Soviet Red Army were fighting, the terrain was relatively flat, which was very suitable for the Soviet motorized and armored troops.

On the afternoon of July 26, the Japanese 14th Brigade launched an attack on the 9th Soviet Motorized Rifle Brigade. The strength of the two armies was similar in numbers, but in terms of equipment, the Soviet Red Army still had the advantage.

The 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade was equipped not only with tank units but also with a certain number of armored vehicles, and the Red Army soldiers were also armed with DP light machine guns or AVS-36 automatic rifles, while the infantry of the RB Devils still carried those single-shot Type 38 hand rifles.

Of course, the offensive of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army was unsuccessful, because it was slightly inferior to the Red Army soldiers of the 9th Brigade of the Soviet Army in terms of equipment and morale.

The infantry of the little devils were scattered by Soviet tanks and the bursting guns of the Red Army soldiers, and every charge of the RB men was repulsed by Soviet machine guns, tank guns, and mortar fire. Not to mention the siege of the enemy's 23rd Division, even to get rid of the defense of the 9th motorized brigade, the Japanese 14th brigade could not do it.

After a few hours of fighting, the Japanese 14th Division had to retreat into its positions in disarray, waiting for the arrival of the rest of the reinforcements, while the Soviet 212th Airborne Brigade had also landed to the east of the 23rd Wing, and soon entered the battle, temporarily blocking the breakthrough of the 23rd Wing and the 7th Wing.

Subsequently, the two infantry divisions of the Soviet reserve army had also arrived at the breakthrough point of the Japanese army, completely cutting off the retreat of the Japanese army.

These two infantry divisions, together with the Soviet troops who had fought fiercely there, and the 212 Airborne Brigade, the strength of the eastern flank reached more than 40,000 in one fell swoop.

Even if the RB devils made a great effort and rushed to the east and northeast, it would be impossible to break through the anti-breakout cluster composed of 40,000 troops, and the rest of the Soviet encirclement troops could take advantage of the victory to pursue, and even take the three heights occupied by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

In this way, the Japanese army was more easily annihilated by the Soviet army, and it was worse than breaking out.

By this time, Michitaro Komatsubara finally had some self-knowledge, and when he knew that the Soviet army had gathered heavy troops to block the breakout route of the 23rd and 7th Wings on the east side, he had already predicted the result of his total annihilation.

He knew in his heart that if he continued to try to break through from the northeast, under the strict protection of the two infantry divisions of the Soviet army, there would be no chance of breaking through at all, and the positions on the frontline battlefield might also be easily captured by the Soviet army because of the withdrawal of troops.

Since the whole army was also annihilated, Komatsubara decided to let his subordinates hold their positions and give up the breakthrough. Strive to hold until the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, and then make plans to break out.

As soon as the order to hold the position was issued, all the troops that broke through retreated to the positions that had been built for a long time, but at this time, the three infantry divisions of the Soviet reinforcements had already arrived on the battlefield and had an absolute advantage in terms of troops. And the Soviet artillery positions were also moved closer to the Japanese strongholds, and the range of firing completely covered the Japanese assembly areas.

Under such circumstances, the defeat of the little devil has become a foregone conclusion, and no matter how much Komatsubarau defends, he can't avoid the result of being surrounded and annihilated.
