Chapter 019: The Soviet Army is Defeated

On the evening of October 21, Choibalshan applied with the Soviet army to transfer his remaining 10,000 troops to the front, and Pavlov agreed to see that Choibalshan was so desperate.

Pavlov has actually always wanted to annex Outer Mongolia, if he can defeat the squadron this time, and the young and middle-aged people in Outer Mongolia are almost dead, then the Soviet Union can really annex Outer Mongolia in a grand manner.

Choibalshan didn't know Paplov's calculations, but he had his own plans, because the squadron was going to attack tonight, and they moved the army to the front in order to meet the squadron.

Dai Anlan set the plan at night to avoid the Soviet air force, the Soviet Union had a lot of planes, and if it attacked during the day, he would increase his own casualties, and in addition, the Soviet army was also numerous, and his own side did not have any advantage.

In the evening attack, the advantage of the Soviet army will be dropped in a straight line, and night combat is also the strength of the squadron.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, although Paplov arranged for many people to patrol, most of them had already fallen asleep, while Dianlan's troops had already rested and were now full of energy, waiting for an order to attack.

Dai Anlan determined the current situation for the last time, and did not find any fraud, he gritted his teeth and went out, and ordered all the artillery to bombard the Soviet positions outside the positions of the puppet Mongolian army, of course, the first priority to kill was the artillery of the Soviet army, followed by the barracks and material reserves.

"Boom ......" countless shells pierced the sky and fell into the positions of the Soviet troops, and the targets were hit one after another.

There was screaming everywhere. "Enemy attack, hide quickly! Hide! ”

Pavlov was just about to sleep, when he was blown out of a cold sweat by the sound of a violent explosion, and soon came to report that important units such as artillery positions, barracks, and material warehouses were all bombarded by the artillery fire of the squadron, and suffered heavy losses for a while.

Pavlov didn't think about why the first squadron was so good, at this moment he was in a cold sweat on his back, the squadron was about to counterattack, and now important units were under heavy shelling, and there was no artillery and supplies...... So what does he use to withstand the attack of the squadron.

Pavlov could only shout: "Resist, resist me, immediately gather the troops to resist." ”

At the same time as the shelling, watching countless shells fall on the positions of the Soviet army, Choibalshan and others were ready to kill the Soviet supervisors.

When the war broke out, the supervisors of the Soviet army immediately ran to Choibalsan to ask Choibalsan to resist, and at the same time cheered for Choibalsan and others, Choibalshan looked at the oncoming Soviet supervisors, there was no nonsense, and the bullets were loaded against the Soviet supervisors.

The Soviet military supervisors did not expect this to happen, and before they reacted, the bullet hit their bodies, and their bodies were already thinking of a sieve.

The puppet Mongolian soldiers on the side looked at Choibalshan's astonishing actions one by one, and Choibalshan immediately said: "The Soviets are unreliable, and if they want to live, they must submit to China." The Soviet supervisors are dead, you have no choice, and it is a dead end for the Soviets to sell their lives, and now they all obey my orders and immediately assist the squadron to cross the river. ”

The shocked puppet Mongolian army immediately reacted, they knew better than anyone what the Soviets were, and now they really had to take refuge in China to survive, so the puppet Mongolian army immediately stopped the squadron and blocked the Soviet army.

Choibalshan also immediately made contact with Dai Anlan's side, and Dai Anlan immediately organized his troops to cross the river before the Soviet army reacted.

As a result, countless kayaks appeared on the short river, and sappers were building bridges to transport cars and tanks.

In less than ten minutes, the first battalion of troops arrived on the opposite bank, and more and more soldiers crossed the river. The Soviets soon discovered that something was wrong with the Mongols, but it was too late, they were still under heavy fire from the Chinese artillery, and at the same time, the troops crossing the river also launched an attack on the Soviets.

The shelling continued, and Pavlov, with more than 100,000 men under his command, struggled to organize an effective defense. Moreover, most of their heavy weapons were destroyed in the field, and it was very difficult to organize an effective defense, most of the Chinese army was a division of a hundred battles, and they were also familiar with the tactics of the Soviet army, so they could always calmly deal with the counterattack of the Soviet army.

Pavlov was furious about this, "Can anyone tell me what's going on, why so many squadrons are on our positions?" ”

Krivoshev said: "According to the report I just received, the squadron attendants came from the side of the Mongol army, and I think the Mongols have defected to the Soviet Union. ”

Paplov did not speak, he could not believe that the Mongols had defected, although from the perspective of race, the Mongols were closer to the Chinese, but the strength of the Soviet Union, coupled with the fact that the Soviet Union had been assimilating Mongolia, the Mongols should not have rebelled so easily.

But come to think of it, there is no one else here except the possibility that the Mongols will have that possibility. The Soviet army does not rule out such people, but at most they are very individual, as long as the whole army does not mutiny, the squadron will not cross the river so easily.

Pavlov thought about it, and felt more and more that it should be the Mongols who betrayed him, and more and more intelligence showed that the squadron's artillery fire was too accurate, and it was definitely the squadron that got the defense map, otherwise it would not have been possible to fight so accurately.

The squadron attacked so quickly, someone answered, the artillery fire was so accurate that it got the defense map, and all the clues pointed to the Mongols and to Choibalshan.

Seeing that the army was defeated, and the Soviet army, which lacked artillery, gathered to counterattack, it would invite artillery bombardment from the squadron, Pavlov ordered a retreat and withdrew from Kulen.

But Pavlov's original order to save the Soviet army instead became a lifeline for the Soviet army, and the Soviet troops who got the order to retreat because they did not have effective command and the retreat was not coordinated, each wanted to withdraw first, and for a time the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and no army was willing to stay and block.

The Chinese army was attacking with all its might, and the organized tank troops launched a blitzkrieg, and the Soviet army was even more frightened, and many people wanted to surrender to the tank troops, but the tank soldiers ignored them at all, and the tank troops were ordered not to take prisoners, pursue the Soviet army with all their might, and kill as many as they could.

The tankers frantically strafed the fleeing Soviets, and the infantry followed. An hour and a half after the start of the battle, all the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese army were transported, and they were immediately formed into the second armored detachment to launch an attack on the Soviets.

Pavlov wanted to organize a defense on the periphery and stabilize the situation. But each time it was destroyed by armored forces. Pavlov organized all the tanks and armored units that could be gathered, wanting to use them to delay the offensive of the Chinese armored forces and buy time for the infantry to build a defensive line, but the Chinese armored forces did not fight against the Soviet armored forces at all, but bypassed their infantry to fight the Soviet army.

Once again, Paplov's plan failed, and they had to keep fleeing. In the end, even the Cossack cavalry division could only stay and break the rear, and the cavalry faced the steel monsters, and the result can be imagined, the result was that these Cossacks did not continue their glory, and the cavalry division of more than 10,000 people, in the end, only more than 2,000 people escaped, and Pavlov also won time to escape and escaped.

The armored forces had to abandon the pursuit after running out of fuel, and instead picked up the Soviet troops who had stayed behind and could not escape.

Although the Soviets suffered heavy losses, they were numerous, and after more than an hour of confusion, they relied on strong spiritual armament to organize themselves to defend against the attack of the Chinese army, and at the same time the commander was elected.

At dawn, the Chinese army surrounded two large forces, one was a force of more than 30,000 people led by Lieutenant General Krivoshev who had a crushing defeat in Sainshanda, and he was elected as the supreme commander.

The other is a force of nearly 30,000 people headed by Lieutenant General Ivanov, and the two forces together have more than 60,000 people, accounting for one-third of the number of Soviet troops before the war.

In addition, there were nearly 30,000 Soviet troops in Pavlov and the fleeing Soviet army, and more than 60,000 were annihilated last night, while the puppet Mongolian army had already surrendered, so they were not counted.

As long as these two Soviet forces were eliminated, then 120,000 of the 150,000 Soviet troops who participated in the Battle of Kulen would be killed.

The troops were very tired after a night of fierce fighting, but Dai Anlan believed that the Soviet army was the same, and the Soviet army was surrounded tenfold, so it should be more desperate and tired.

The artillery fire was still falling on the positions of the Soviet troops, and Lieutenant General Krivoshev, who was hiding in the bomb shelter, was in a very bad mood at this time, he was surrounded, and contacted Pavlov, who asked him to insist, he would move to the rescue. Pavlov's implication is that he doesn't care about them anymore.

Lieutenant General Krivoshev was desperate, the army of more than 100,000 collapsed in one night, and now there are only more than 30,000 people in his hands, and they are still surrounded, which gives him the confidence to hold on, and the artillery fire of the ** squadron outside still keeps hitting them with countless shells.

Lieutenant General Krivoshev also heard the sound of rocket artillery, God knows where the Chinese got such weapons, in his eyes China has always been synonymous with poverty and backwardness, and even rifles cannot be built, let alone rocket artillery that is more difficult than artillery.

Although the Soviet army has not been completely annihilated, Dai Anlan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, the first one was naturally that hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were defeated by him overnight, and now only more than 60,000 people in the encirclement are still resisting. The other is this rocket artillery division, which has now been assigned to his name, and the attack last night was so smooth that it was able to paralyze the artillery and barracks and material warehouses of the Soviet army in the first place, and the rocket artillery contributed a lot.
