The Soviet artillery 152 cannons stationed on the outskirts of Choibalsan still pose a certain threat to the "Destroyer" tanks, and if it is not extremely dense artillery fire, the probability of being directly hit by the moving target is not very large. Regarding the artillery positions of the Soviet army and the garrison of the 5th Outer Mongolian Cavalry Division, the 1st Armored Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has long been well aware of the reconnaissance through UAVs, and the reason why it did not carry out a preemptive strike is mainly based on the fact that there is something to say about the "brothers" of socialist countries, and try not to use force to solve it. But if the "brother" doesn't accept this love, there is no way to do it first, and he can't be beaten for asking for "debts".

Artillery attack is the Soviet army's specialty, but this time the Soviet army underestimated the counter-battery combat capability of the [***] team, did not wait for the Soviet artillery to readjust the firing of Zhu Yuan, the 1st Armored Division of the 1st Group Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was responsible for fire support tasks of the 122 mm "Tempest" 40-tube self-propelled rocket artillery detachment, reconnaissance, ground desic radar command vehicle ballistic computer, according to the ballistics of the Soviet artillery shells, calculated the position of the Soviet artillery, sent and received calculated Zhu Yuan, automatic loading, aiming, In accordance with the pre-determined order of priority firing, each vehicle immediately covered the Soviet artillery positions with anti-personnel steel ball rockets and incendiary rockets.

Batches of shells made a terrifying whistling sound, accompanied by fierce explosions, the various Soviet artillery positions were covered with stormy steel balls, and the incendiary shells caused a raging fire that turned the Soviet artillery positions into a fire-breathing hell. The flames quickly spread from the point of the incendiary bomb to all sides, devouring all life in its path. The big brother of the Soviet Union, who had always advocated artilleryism, was able to understand what it meant to be dense and fierce in firepower in the face of the overwhelming blows of China's little brother, and only then did he truly understand what artillery doctrine was in the true sense.

The Soviet artillery positions were covered in black clouds of smoke and dust, visibility was only two or three meters, thick smoke and fire obscured the view, and everywhere there were wailing wounded and broken corpses. Napalm from incendiary bombs splashed on Soviet officers and soldiers, and many people who were at a loss were mercilessly engulfed in flames. The air is filled with deadly poisonous gases. Survivors of the storm of steel, terrified people fled in all directions, desperately trying to stay away from the burning flames. Completely ignoring the flames from the clothes on his body, he didn't have time to run a few steps, and the whole person burned, and the fire lasted for more than 1 hour. Everything that could be burned was reduced to ashes, and at dawn people saw a gruesome sight

The counterattack of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army, despite not being prepared for effective artillery fire by Soviet artillery, began in spite of everything. They were spearheaded by 27 T34-85 tanks, followed by a large number of cavalry. The T34-85 tanks, which were divided into 3 lines of attack, formed a wedge attack group and inflicted a massive assault on the tank regiments of the 1st Chinese Panzer Division.

The earth shook, and the deafening roar of tank motors and the sound of thousands of horses' hooves hitting the ground mixed together to form an immensely majestic march.

Huang Decheng, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Group Army, who was sitting in the position of the commander of the 1st Tank Regiment of the "Destroyer" tank in the front, was the first to discover the counterattack of the tank cluster of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army through the observation device. A counter-attack was launched at the T5-34 tank attack group of the 85th Mongolian Cavalry Division.

Gun Commander Xiao Xu, who was sitting on the left side of the fighting compartment, was engrossed in the scope and made the aiming line aim at the first T34-85 tank on the wedge-shaped head, a 125-mm large-caliber smoothbore gun of 50 times the caliber, moving with the aiming line. He looked at the laser ranging data on the display, 2500 meters, he looked at the SuT34-85 tank in the scope that was moving forward quickly, and the background did not move at all, he pressed the gun launch button. The Destroyer tank paused for a moment as a 125 mm armor-piercing round burst out of the long barrel of the Destroyer. With a "bang", the automatic loader sent another shell into the chamber, and Xiao Xu immediately aimed at the next T34-85 tank.

The shells flying in the air were attracted to the T34-85 tank like a magnet, and with a loud "boom", the Soviet commander and the four Mongolian crew members of the T34-85 tank acting as a wedge-headed tank had not yet figured out where their enemies were, and their stumps flew into the sky along with the huge fire mass and tank turret generated by the explosion.

Immediately, more than 20 "destroyer" tanks of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Panzer Division rushed to attack the T34-85 tanks of the 5th Mongolian Cavalry Division.

The tank battalion of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army originally wanted to seize the Chinese tanks on the march, under the bombardment of the Soviet heavy 152 cannons, and take advantage of the confusion of the Chinese tanks to disperse the anti-artillery, and launch a rapid attack on the Chinese armored forces from the front and the left and right flanks. Therefore, when the Soviet artillery fire began to be test-fired, the armored attack group composed of three companies of the T34-85 tank battalion of the 5th Mongolian Cavalry Division launched an attack on the Chinese tanks at full speed, using the flexible surname of its T-34 tank to engage in a tank "hand-to-hand combat" with the Chinese armored corps, and destroy the Chinese tanks in close combat. This bold tactical idea is good. However, to the surprise of the Mongolian army, the Soviet artillery only completed the test firing and was killed by the Chinese "Katyusha". But the arrow has been wound and has to be fired, according to the established plan, rush!

For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and flames. The whistling sound of shells, deafening explosions, cannons, the firing of automatic weapons, the roar of tank motors are intertwined, thrilling T34-85 This equipped with 85mm smoothbore gun, excellent bulletproof shape, good mobile surname, the most successful tank in World War II, here completely became a rare mobile target vehicle for the tank soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. As soon as the battle began, the tank battalion of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army tasted the power of the Chinese destroyer tank, and the T34-85 tank, which was not at all the opponent of the Chinese "destroyer" tank, was beaten into a state of parts before it was within its own range. The wreckage of 27 burning T34-85 tanks was thrown on the corpse-strewn wilderness.

Lieutenant General Sabishosl was completely stunned by what he saw, the current squadron and the army in his own image were completely two different concepts, but he was unwilling to let the battle plan carefully prepared by himself and his Soviet advisers end in failure, and his reputation was ruined. Sabisil took the military kettle from his guard, drank two large sips of Soviet vodka, and then slammed the kettle to the ground, rolled his sleeves, glared at his red little triangular eyes, drew his saber, and shouted: "Comrades! For the glorious Mongolian People's Republic, rush! ”

"Ulla! Ullah "launched a group charge amid the shouts of the crowd and the sonorous sound of horses' hooves. Lieutenant General Sabishosr took the lead and rushed to the front of the ranks. The charge of the officer in front and the retreat in the back are the primary conditions that any strong army must have, and this is also one of the most striking characteristics of the army led by the real [***]. Under the leadership of his division commander, more than 8,000 people from the two cavalry regiments of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army rushed down the mountain like a tiger, riding fierce horses, bypassing the wreckage of the destroyed and burning T34-85 tank, and under the guidance of the bright red sickle and axe battle flag, stepping on the blood of their comrades, and rushing towards the Chinese tank group. They let go of the reins with both hands, relied on their feet to control the war horses under their crotches, rode their horses and held guns, and kept shooting at the steel giants that rushed towards them, the bullets in the magazine ran out, they drew their sabers and brandished them, under the moonlight, thousands of shining sabers clearly reflected a ferocious murderous aura, which made people shudder, they shouted hysterically, and rushed to the Chinese tank without fear. Heroes! Heroes on horseback!

When these heroes of the 5th Mongolian Cavalry Division rushed to less than 1,000 meters away from the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Division of the 1st Army, the commander of the 1st Battalion, Huang Decheng, ordered: "Turn on the headlights!" The cavalrymen of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army, who were suddenly exposed to the strong light, were so shaken that they couldn't open their eyes, and before they could understand what was going on, they were swept down by the Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns in pieces. Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Sabizhaosir, the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army continued to charge regardless of life or death. Years of revolutionary heroic education and the influence of the lifelong spirit of striving for ideals, as well as the inherent strong genes of the Mongolian nation, have given the cavalrymen of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army the same outlaw style as their division commanders, but the bravery of the outlaws cannot change their fate of defeat.

These heroic outlaws of the 5th Mongolian Cavalry Division were helpless in the face of these rampaging "steel monsters", and they brandished their sabers in despair, slashing the tank armor to the ground. More than 20 "Destroyer" tanks and more than 20 "Assault" wheeled armored vehicles of the 1st Tank Battalion are like tigers entering a flock of sheep in this sea of people galloping back and forth. Huang Decheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the Tank Regiment, carried the 7.62 mm parallel machine gun on the right side of the tank to the Mongolian warriors who kept rushing up outside, and the gun commander Xiao Xu opened the right hatch on the tank, drilled the upper body to the outside of the turret, and carried out flat fire with the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun on the right side of the turret。 The tank driver, Xiao Li, was also constantly knocking down the savage and impolite Mongol cavalry who rushed to his tank and slashed his beloved mount with his sabre, and then ran over them.

More than 20 destroyer tanks and more than 20 assault wheeled armored vehicles of the 1st Tank Battalion galloped across this sea of people of only 4 square kilometers, and more than 8,000 people of the two cavalry regiments of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army were smashed again and again in front of this steel giant beast like raging waves in the sea.

The "Destroyer" tank deserves to be an invincible fighter of this era.

Lieutenant General Sabisyr, the initiator of this massacre, was shortly after the charge was attacked by a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullet that passed through his stomach from the front, breaking the 1st lumbar vertebra and causing the 2nd, 3rd lumbar vertebra and the last thoracic vertebra to be shattered, the 12,7 mm bullet had a strong thrust that lifted him off the galloping horse, and even more tragically, the bullet destroyed his nerve conduction system, leaving his right foot hanging in the shoe, and his mount was the same as that of his master. It is also a war horse that lives endlessly, dragging this brave general, like a rag pocket, continuing to charge more than once, maybe he didn't understand until he died, it was the [***] team that he looked down on at all who gave him a fatal blow! He paid a heavy price for his arrogance, and at the same time pulled more than 5,000 of his own warriors to be his own burial offerings.

"Comrades of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army: I am your political commissar, Major General H. Gratal, because the division commander Sabizhaosr did not listen to the teachings of Secretary Danba of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, insisted on disregarding the life and death of the officers and men of the 5th Division, refused to return to the motherland, and accepted the reorganization of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, our 5th Division fell into the current crisis. Sabisusl was a [***] element through and through, who had been listed as one of the 26 [***] ringleaders by the 'Party Central Committee', and now he has been killed. I now order you, obey the orders of the Chinese comrades, lay down your arms, make no more senseless resistance, and assemble in the eastern meadows, where I guarantee your lives with my life. "Major General H. Gratal, political commissar of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army, sat on an Raider wheeled armored propaganda vehicle and broadcast his orders over and over again. Under the powerful military deterrence and political offensive, the officers and men of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army threw away their weapons and led their horses in despair, and walked towards the temporary prisoner of war camp surrounded by four tanks.

40 minutes, just 40 minutes, the fighting on the battlefield subsided, piles of flames jumped weakly in the smoke-filled air, T34-85 tanks became piles of steel garbage emitting black smoke, countless war horses and the corpses of the unyielding soldiers of the 5th Mongolian Cavalry Division were densely piled up on this grassland, blood stained the grass that had just sprouted green shoots, and more infiltrated into the bare desert sand, the lives of these Mongolian warriors forever integrated into this grassland, the land that gave birth to them. There were several war horses that kept holding the corners of their lost master's clothes, and from time to time they let out a desolate neigh, calling their master to wake up.
