Chapter 334: A Great Victory for the Japanese Army

September 3, 1939. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info morning.

The Japanese tank base was behind the battlefield, at a distance of one or two kilometers from the infantry positions.

The Japanese tanks, which had run out of ammunition, were lined up in the base. The tankers and artillerymen had already gotten up and had not yet eaten. Their task was to prepare artillery and tanks, refueling and ammunition after eating.

A group of anti-United Nations fighters rushed in. The Japanese tank men were caught off guard and grabbed their weapons and fired back. They had only a few rifles, and most had only pistols. The soldiers who rushed in shouted in Japanese, "Shoot or kill." "Spear bayonet, while rushing, while stabbing, while putting the gun. Their shouts shook the sky, and although they were not skilled, the Japanese understood.

The anti-Japanese coalition forces were numerous, the tank and artillery had no melee weapons, and the maintenance technicians only had wrenches and hammers, and they were eliminated in the barracks one by one.

Convoys were attacked, warehouses were attacked. Part of the garrison here was sent to Hailar as a transport force, and the defense was weak. A few hundred people rushed and were soon occupied.

The baggage transport troops, accustomed to getting up early, had already maintained their cars, and were about to eat, when they were surrounded by soldiers who rushed in, and a few drivers resisted and were killed on the spot.

Japanese command.

Several units of the Japanese army had their own different commands, and they were under the command of the Ogishu Ritsu. The headquarters of the Ogishu Ribao was far from the battlefield.

The command of several units was attacked at once. The troops attacking the command were very strange, they were all wearing strange uniforms, tattered, painted green and yellow, but the guns in their hands were very good to see the Japanese soldiers, and they were immediately shot, and when they saw the officers, they tried their best to capture them alive.

These headquarters were more than a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield, all in the depths of the grassland, not far from the foot of the mountain. The special operations team, which had been lurking in the vicinity for several days, had now received an order to take direct command of the headquarters.

Because of the tragic battle, the Japanese army sent all the reserve troops, and the command headquarters was extremely empty, with only a few guards, service soldiers, and logistics troops, and the combat effectiveness was very weak. On the contrary, the anti-coalition forces are special operations troops, and the soldiers are good at close combat, rushing in front with knives and guns, and those in the back holding sniper rifles and submachine guns.

The staff officers had just gotten up, the officers were washing, the few who resisted were killed, and in less than half an hour, the flag was captured, three division commanders, and three chiefs of staff were captured.

Because the attack took place too early, the staff officers of the command headquarters heard that someone was attacking, and they wanted to destroy documents, hide the military flag, and spread the news.

Most of these high-ranking officers were not strong in combat and could easily be captured.

Within twenty minutes, the battle was over, and the captives were soon escorted into the car, heading east, into the mountains. The other units began to collect documents, maps, and radio stations from the headquarters in preparation for retreat.

Ten minutes later, a small part of the special operations force left with supplies, and the others turned to the north, their purpose was to ambush the Japanese retreat route.

5:30 a.m. The trumpet sounded, and several other anti-coalition troops slaughtered the Japanese army's back.

At the same time, Soviet planes appeared over the heads of the Japanese and bombed and strafed. Soviet artillery shelled Japanese positions. The Japanese were in concealment, preparing to start fighting once the air raids and shelling had ceased.

The Japanese at the front line found that they had not made a few sorties, and the artillery had not been fired.

During these half months, the Japanese soldiers did not eat or drink well, and there was no guarantee that they would drink water, and many of them were extremely weak because of lack of water. In addition to poor health, the troops also ran out of ammunition, and after so many days of fighting, many people had run out of ammunition.

In fact, the Soviet-Mongolian army on the opposite side could not move. Half of their casualties were also on par with the Japanese troops, and the infantrymen were weak without being injured. Artillery, tank crews, and even aircraft were running out of ammunition. These troops need a lot of logistical supplies to fight. Some transport forces have to take into account Europe, where there is not enough capacity to move.

At this time, a new force in good physical condition came, and the situation on the battlefield was immediately different.

The troops brought by the trail were half Soviet and half Japanese. The prisoners were escorted, and the captured baggage was sorted out by tanks, artillery, and equipment troops. It is important that his troops, after climbing over the mountains with great difficulty, corrected themselves in the vicinity of the battlefield for two days.

The trail divided the remaining troops into three groups and attacked the left, center, and right sides of the Japanese position.

The Japanese soldier was suddenly attacked from behind, as if in a fight, a lump between his legs was hit by a small stick, and it was extremely painful. The Japanese troops were flanked, the morale of the army was greatly disturbed, and the command headquarters was terminated, and they began to fight separately, with heavy casualties, and soon, the troops attacking from behind stopped not far from them and lay down to shoot.

The combat style of this unit was similar to that of the Japanese army, with few bullets, not strong firepower, and no heavy weapons, but they were accurate in marksmanship. The position of the Japanese army was in the direction of the Soviet army, and there was no cover on the back, which was like a target.

The Soviets on the opposite side began to attack, and they were still under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks, shouting Ula and charging and charging.

Because of the enemy on the abdomen and back, the Japanese ground formation was quickly torn. Three hours after the tear, the Japanese army on the entire battlefield was divided into more than a dozen independent combat units, which were flanked by the anti-Japanese coalition forces and the Soviet Union.

In the gap of the Japanese army, the Soviet army and the Democratic Alliance army joined forces. The scene of the meeting was very warm and happy. When the Soviet soldiers were frequently repelled by the Japanese suicidal charges, reinforcements came at the critical moment of life and death, and they were naturally very grateful to them.

After the division, the Soviet army and the Northeast coalition army immediately attacked to the left and right. By this time, the Japanese had begun to disperse, and organized counterattacks were becoming less and less.

The battle lasted until the afternoon. The Japanese army was very chaotic because of the loss of its headquarters. The various wings acted in different ways. Several mid-level officers of the wing reported directly to the command on the battlefield situation and requested tactical guidance.

The request was quickly answered, and it was an order from the commander of the Ogishu Force: "Hold on for two more days." Hold on to help. After sending the telegram, the command loaded the last radio station, and the entire command quickly withdrew and drove to Hailar.

The order of the Ogishu soldiers was reluctant, because the personnel carriers of the 20th Corps were bombed, and the railroad was not too badly bombed, but it was blown up in several places, and it would be delayed for several days. Because Arshan has been lost, the Bai'an line has eroded again, and they all take Fularji and go from Hailar to Nomenkan, and Hailar Daonuomenkan still has a long way.

Ten minutes after the departure of the Ogishu Command, the vanguard of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army arrived, and an officer led by him looked at the Japanese headquarters that was far away, and slammed his hat on the ground: The attack on the headquarters was successful, but I was not successful. Unlucky!

In the evening, the fighting stopped. On the battlefield, all three sides are trimming. They fought for a whole day, more than a dozen hours, and they were exhausted.

For the sake of friendship, the Soviet army sent food to the Democratic Alliance Army, it was canned food, isn't this the glass bottle canned food produced by Yichun! The Democratic Alliance Army has brought dry rations and water bottles for five days, and it is still okay.

Koji's headquarters was located in Komatsu Michihara Taro's headquarters, and Komatsu Michihara Taro was sent away after being captured, and now he has entered the mountain. The heads of several units meet with Koji to study the battle plan for tomorrow.

Now, the statistics of the battles of the various units have come up, and the casualties are not very large, but the consumption of ammunition is very large. If the attack continues tomorrow, all the bullets will be exhausted by the afternoon, and at that time, there will only be bayonets.

The collected Japanese intelligence showed that the Japanese army was also running low on ammunition, and there were not many bullets in the captured Japanese weapons. It is estimated that the Japanese army will engage in white-knuckle warfare. Of course, some troops also have the intention of breaking through.

The situation of the Soviet army was not much better, except that the food supply was quite sufficient, the ammunition and fuel of the armored forces were insufficient, and the ammunition of the infantry was even more insufficient.

Xiaolu's only reliance is that his troops' physical strength is the best among the three troops, and their morale is the highest.

Tomorrow is the key to the battle.

Xiaolu asked, "How will you fight tomorrow?" Can we wipe out all the Japanese? ”

Several people listened and shook their heads together.

"Everyone knows that Japan and the Soviet Union are negotiating. Therefore, the Soviet Union had no determination or intention to fight Japan to the end. The Soviet Union had to free up its hands here to deal with the war situation in Europe. The Japanese don't want to fight to the death either. Only we have to fight with the Japanese. So what do we do? We want to maximize the benefits. ”

Several people discussed for a long time and decided to encircle Sanque Yi, lay an ambush on the way of the Japanese army's retreat as early as possible, encircled and pursued and intercepted, and eliminated the Japanese army in the movement. The Japanese army retreated, and without a desperate desire, the casualties of our army would be reduced.

A decision was formed, and the staff officers quickly translated the decision into Japanese and sent it to the Soviet command. Xiao Lu said in the telegram: "This is a Chinese tactic, and the lethal effect of the pursuit is very great." Please order the pursuit. Be quick. ”

Ten minutes later, Zhukov called and asked Xiaolu and other commanders to come to the Soviet headquarters overnight to discuss tomorrow's battle.

September 5, 1939. 5 a.m.

Several units of the Japanese army took the initiative to attack the anti-Japanese coalition forces. Their thoughts are obvious, they think that the anti-Japanese coalition is weak, and they will defeat the anti-Japanese coalition first. Sure enough, the Chinese troops were sparsely gunfired, resistance was weak, and several positions were crushed at the first blow.

Less than half an hour after the attack, the opposing anti-Japanese coalition troops began to retreat. Not an attack, it's a retreat.

The Japanese army was overjoyed, discarded all their baggage, and began to break through. The commanders of several wings of the Japanese army asked together about the next move last night, and the Ogishu soldiers hesitated for a long time and gave the order to break through the encirclement. Now they have no supplies, and if they don't retreat, they will starve to death. Now that he had the opportunity, he immediately decided to retreat.

Several units had no contact with each other, but shortly after the retreat, other Japanese units were seen retreating as well. The Japanese saw the hope of survival, and the retreat became smoother and smoother.

At this time, the Soviet army had already seen it, concentrated all its forces, and organized a general attack on the Japanese troops covering the retreat. An hour later, the Japanese troops covering the retreat were eliminated one by one, and the Soviets began to pursue the retreating Japanese troops.

At the same time, the anti-coalition forces on both sides of the Japanese retreat route suddenly launched an attack and killed from both sides. The pursuing anti-Japanese coalition troops shouted together, holding bayonets, and charged at the Japanese army. The Japanese retreated and returned fire, and casualties increased dramatically.

Although the Japanese army wanted to retreat in order, the other side suddenly broke out, giving them an unexpected surprise, and they began to retreat before they had time to prepare for retreat. What I didn't expect was that the anti-Japanese coalition forces and the Soviet army took advantage of the chaos to attack, and the offensive was fierce, as if the combat effectiveness had suddenly strengthened.
