"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, the river floats with a soft light veil; Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light.

The girl sang a beautiful song, she was singing the eagle of the steppe; She is singing about her beloved, and she still has her lover's letters. She is singing about her beloved, and she still has her lover's letters.

Oh, the singing voice of the singing girl, fly away with the bright sun; The warriors who went to the distant frontier conveyed the greetings of the Katyusha.

The warriors who went to the distant frontier conveyed the greetings of the Katyusha.

The young warriors stationed on the frontier miss the distant girl in their hearts; Bravely fought to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him.

Bravely fought to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him. ”

In the Mongolian desert, in the Soviet barracks, Manturov had already begun to feel homesick. He took the black rose given to him by Katia and sang "Katyusha", constantly thinking about the past with Katya.

At the beginning, the man who was determined to make military achievements and fight against Japanese imperialism now only wanted the war to end as soon as possible and return home to meet his wife as soon as possible.

"Report to Comrade Military Commissar, the Japanese army has launched an attack on the positions of our army on the front!" A Red Army soldier ran in and gave an update.

Manturov looked at the calendar hanging next to him, it was July 23, which coincided with the time of the Japanese counteroffensive in his historical memory.

According to his prediction, the Japanese reinforcements should not have arrived yet, and the troops available for the offensive on the front line were probably only about 30,000, but how could they attack the 60,000 Soviet troops on the front line so quickly?

"Comrade Military Commissar, we have just received reliable information that the Japanese army has only dispatched half of the strength of several divisions and regiments reinforced, and their 14th Division has been ordered to return to its original place of residence because of the tense fighting on the front line, while the Japanese army's reinforcements are composed of the main forces of the second, fourth, and fifth divisions, with a total of more than 30,000 people, and it is estimated that it will take half a month before they can enter the battle."

Judging by this situation, the Soviet intelligence agents lurking in Japan should have already started their work.

Indeed, as Manturov guessed, the Japanese army headquarters had already put a lot of pressure on the Kwantung Army. The Japanese Army Headquarters sent Deputy Chief of Staff Nakajima to Shenyang in advance (ahead of historical time) and conveyed to the Kwantung Army that "the battle should not be expanded on the Nomenkan side, and we should try to end it immediately" and "the Kwantung Army is insufficient in strength and should be based on long-term holdout."

This is actually asking the Kwantung Army to admit defeat and let go, but the wording is a little euphemistic.

However, Ueda Kenkichi lobbied vigorously that he should "attack with all four divisions and then move to winter defense." ”

Originally, in history, the sub-chief of staff of Nakajima would have been persuaded by Kenkichi Ueda. However, the Japanese army already knew that the Soviet army had a heavy army in the Far East, and a few divisions and regiments were not enough to withstand the torrent of steel of the Soviet army. Considering Japan's military strength, the Japanese army headquarters did not want to expand the war with the Soviet Union, otherwise, the Kwantung Army would only be tortured and killed by the Soviet army.

As a result, the sub-chief of staff Nakajima responded euphemistically: "The battle of Nomenhan should not be expanded, and the battlefield of China should be the mainstay." This means that the Japanese Empire does not want a war with the larger Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and should withdraw its troops for peace talks and focus on the Chinese battlefield.

However, Ueda Kenkichi misunderstood the meaning of the sub-chief of staff, thinking that he meant to continue the military operations in the Nomenhan area, but not to expand the war and not to mobilize too many troops from the Chinese battlefield.

As a result, the 14th Division, which was supposed to reinforce the front line on the Haraha River, returned to Kaifeng, Henan, where it was originally stationed, while the 5th Division stationed in Qingdao only sent half of its troops to the front.

In this way, the number of Japanese reinforcements was reduced to more than 30,000, and the original strength of the front line was 50,000, adding up to 80,000.

And according to the (erroneous) intelligence they have, the Soviets had only more than 50,000 people at the front. They believed that the 80,000 bushido spirits, the invincible Japanese army, were more than enough to deal with a group of Soviet troops who had just been purged by Stalin and were inferior in numbers. But they ignored the fact that the Soviet army had massively increased its troops.

Although they all learned the lessons of the previous three battles and three defeats, they all blamed the reason for the defeat on the lack of troops. They remained convinced that "the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible" in the event of equal or superior forces.

There is no way, the Japanese devils are so arrogant, they do not measure themselves, and they will eventually lose in the hands of the anti-fascist camp.

On July 23, on the front line of the Haraha River, the Japanese Kwantung Army dispatched 86 heavy artillery pieces and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Soviet positions.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the Normenhan steppe was filled with the rumbling sound of cannons.

Near the positions of the Soviet troops, a number of shells fired by Japanese devils fell. Even 18 kilometers away, Japanese artillery shells flew from the sky and blew a large crater in the ground.

In a short time, the Japanese fired more than 5,000 shells, and the Soviet Red Army in front did not move. The positions at the front of the Soviet army were bombed to shreds, many fortifications had been blown into a pile of mud, and they had lost their original defensive power, but there were no casualties.

Lieutenant General Ogishu, who was supervising the battle at the front, saw that the time was ripe and issued an order to the Japanese troops on the front line to attack on all fronts.

"Ahh Suddenly, on the entire battlefield of Nomenkan, bursts of shouts sounded, which were issued by the Japanese army. It was louder than the sound of the cannon just now.

They let out a fierce roar, ready to show their majesty as the "Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire", to exterminate the white-skinned, porous hairs on the other side, as well as the short, dark-skinned Mongols, and use their blood to dye their Rising Sun Banner red!

But not long after the charge was launched, before the Japanese were halfway through, the Soviet artillery launched an even more intense artillery bombardment.

This time, the Soviet army dispatched more than 300 heavy guns, and the Soviet artillery was superior to the Japanese in terms of range and accuracy.

In the artillery bombardment launched by the Japanese army just now, because the little devils have not received ultra-long-range artillery training, their shooting accuracy is similar to that of the Soviet army's blind fire.

As a result, only the Soviet positions at the front were affected by artillery fire, and the Red Army retreated in time, while the Soviet-Mongolian troops who stayed behind were almost unscathed, and the 5,000 shells of the Japanese army were wasted in vain.

And what about the Soviet artillery? In addition to being trained in long-range artillery bombardment, they also dispatched more than 300 artillery pieces with a range of 30 kilometers. Both in quantity and quality, it is a grade higher than the devil's artillery.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The more than 300 cannons of the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army let out an even more ferocious roar, and the shells landed accurately among the charging Japanese troops, blowing up the devils one by one.

Countless craters were blown out of the ground, and the originally emerald green grassland was dyed black by the explosives of the shells, and then red by the blood of the devils.

The original high-spirited charging shouts of the Japanese army turned into a miserable wail. And the Red Army officers in front of the distant positions were still leisurely smoking and listening to Soviet songs played on a record player.

The shelling lasted 20 minutes, killing and injuring thousands of Japanese devils at once.

The remaining Japanese troops, seeing that the shelling had stopped, seized this opportunity and continued to rush forward, striving to cut off a few hairy heads and take them back to show off to their comrades.

On the Soviet army's position, the record player began to play a song that the Maozi were familiar with, the national anthem of the Soviet Union - "The Internationale". This was the national anthem of the USSR at that time, and the clarion call of proletarian revolutionaries all over the world!

It was a morale-boosting song and a signal for a counteroffensive.

When the record of the "Internationale" was replaced and the national anthem began to be played on the record player, the Red Army soldiers also broke out of the trenches and, led by the armored forces, launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army.
