The most idle Soviet troops in the entire combat area were the four infantry battalions that were on the defensive duty on two high grounds, and there were basically no casualties except for hiding in the anti-artillery holes and eating dust during the Japanese shelling, and the fortifications built over the past few days played their due role. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The new engineer company commander Ivanov was not required to appear in the first line of defense, but he himself asked to take on the task of blocking the front-line trenches before the Japanese attacked, and the newly baked combat hero was left in the front-line position.

When the Soviet counterattack began, Ivanov has been carefully observing the delay and damage of the minefield he has laid against the Japanese attack, and has learned experience in rare actual combat.

Looking at the flesh and blood of little Japan, which rushed forward as if it were not fatal, was blown up by a mine, Ivanov felt very "cool"! No one else can feel the same way as him, because there are no sappers around him: the mines are planted by himself, like his own children - of course he will not tell others how he feels, otherwise some people may think that he has a brain problem, and besides, people will not have time to listen to him.

Behind Ivanov was a point of Maxim machine-gun fire, and when the battle began, the big and bulky guy exerted its due power, harvesting the advancing Japanese troops like wheat, and this situation was playing out on the whole front - everyone was shooting desperately, and Ivanov was the only one watching the "children" perform.

The weather that had cooled down became scorching, and the heat rushed to the body one after another, and you could smell the smoke of gunpowder mixed with the strange smell of the human body being burned -- the "cauldron" in front of the position was full of fires and explosions, and the Soviet officers and men on the high ground enjoyed the magnificent scene of "watching the fire from the other side and roasting the beasts with blazing fire."

It is a good place to see the scenery in Gao, of course, provided that you know that the enemy on the opposite side cannot rush up.

By the time the Japanese army stopped its offensive and began to shrink, Ivanov knew that the battle had been won, and the Japanese army, surrounded by heavy troops, would not be able to escape.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the final assault began, and for the Soviet troops on the heights, only a small number of officers and men were required to participate - that is, the battalions and company artillery that operated mortars and 47-mm anti-tank guns (at that time, some of the Soviet infantry companies had a fire support platoon, one of which was equipped with two or three 50-mm mortars, and the battalion had a mortar platoon equipped with 82-mm mortars. They did not rest for a moment, and for hours on end they harassed the Japanese troops in the formation of positions with scattered shelling. It's just that now there is no need to use accurate shelling to knock on the firing point, as long as the shells are hit into the Japanese positions, and even the anti-tank guns that have been reinforced to these two infantry battalions are also loaded with explosive shells to bombard the Japanese army in an extremely rapid fire way -- there are only a few tanks in the 19th Division of the Japanese army, and the Soviet army has equipped the anti-tank artillery on the front line with a large number of high-explosive shells, just waiting for the infantry to teach the devil a lesson.

Ivanov clearly saw in the trenches that the black-pressed aircraft group flew past his position, and the bombs dropped fell like hail, and after the bombing, the Soviet army launched a surprise attack from three directions, with tanks as the lead, like three sharp knives quickly inserted into the Japanese annular defensive position, dividing the encirclement and then breaking through each one.

As the planes flew away from the cauldron, whistling shells flew over Ivanov's head, and at the moment when the intensive shelling extended, mechanized units in the distance began to surprise the Japanese relief troops, while Soviet bombers and fighters dropped bombs in the air in the distance. Ivanov saw some of the fighters swooping down, and although he couldn't see clearly because of the distance, he knew that the planes were strafing little Japan.

Without paying too much attention to the attack in the distance, the two small Japanese forces in the cauldron could not withstand the surprise attack of the Soviet tanks, and there were very few Japanese troops who could fight after the fierce fire attack. In only half an hour, the gunfire and artillery in the "cauldron" became scattered, and the attacking Soviet troops had begun to clear the battlefield.

、、、、、、

Lin Jun, who was in Ussuriysk, kept paying attention to the battle report in front of him, he was very confident in the outcome of this battle, the only doubt was how many Japanese troops the Soviet army could annihilate, and how much of his own losses?

Lin Jun learned at two o'clock in the afternoon that the two Japanese wings in the encirclement had been completely annihilated, but this did not completely reassure him: like Blyukhel, he was concerned about the situation of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade that had attacked. The devil in the cauldron is nothing more than a boiled duck, life and death are completely in their own hands, and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade will face two integrated wings with fortified conditions.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the news of the victory of the 2nd Mechanized Brigade to withdraw from the sortie position reached Ussuriysk, and Lin Jun's heart was completely relieved.

The losses and results have not yet been fully counted, preliminary statistics show that the Soviet army won a complete victory, with no more than 300 casualties and about 1,000 wounded in one day's battle; On the Japanese side, the 73rd and 74th infantry wings were already able to be removed from the Japanese formation, and the 75th and 76th infantry wings lost more than half of them - these two wings were crushed by Soviet artillery shelling and tank clusters.

Some people say that the German army had strong combat effectiveness in World War II, but the Soviet army submerged them with the tactics of the sea of people, while the US military used the tactics of sea of fire -- people who have learned about the firepower distribution and overall firepower equipment of the Soviet army's standing forces should not say this, because the Soviet army's "sea of fire tactics" were the most worthy of the name of the world's army at that time.

Their own losses will come out in a few days, but the losses of the Japanese army will only be an eternal mystery, and Lin Jun will never know how many people and troops little Japan has lost today.

Blyukher, who was already in Ussuriysk, told his people that "we will never know how many Japanese have been exterminated." ”

Everyone understands that from the firepower and attack methods used by their own side today, they simply cannot calculate how much the Japanese army has reimbursed: the results of the Second Mechanized Brigade in the second offensive cannot be accurately counted, because their entry into Korea too much depth is not conducive to political diplomacy, and they quickly returned to the sortie position; And the little Japan in the "cauldron" is not very old enough to keep the whole body and still be recognizable, and the guy who can still be able-bodied after such a fierce shelling and bombardment is definitely a lucky one.

"Comrade Marshal, I have a calculation method to try, but it may reduce the gains of the comrades at the front." Lin Jun on the side said: It's not easy to report the results if you don't know the results.

"Oh, Comrade Andrei, please speak."

"It should be two wings of the Japanese army that launched the attack on the two high grounds, and each wing of the Japanese army's standing main division is generally about 3,800 people. The numbers of these two divisions can already be removed, and the whole army has been wiped out, so we will make a conservative estimate: remove the logistics personnel who do not participate in the front-line attack, and each wing will be reimbursed by us 3,000, that is, 6,000 people; And judging from the report, the two Japanese wings that were defeated by the troops under the command of Comrade Panfilov lost more than half, and we are also conservative and count it as 3000; This adds up to 9000, which is the most conservative estimate. In addition to the Japanese artillery, engineers, logistics baggage and other units that were completely destroyed by our artillery and aviation, we are adding 3,000, that is, there is 12,000. Those artillery, engineers, logistics and other units have more than 8,000 people in the establishment of the Japanese army's standing divisions, and we count it as 3,000 is not much. The rest of the Zero Leader Brains don't need to be counted. ”

When the officer on the side heard it: This is all right?!

But it doesn't seem like there's going to be a better way.

Lin Jun saw that the expressions of several colleagues were slightly strange, so he continued: "A fully equipped standing division of the Japanese army is about 24,000 people, which means that we have reimbursed more than half of the 19th division in small Japan. If it is difficult to report such statistics, we can calculate the results of the offensive of the troops commanded by Comrade Panfilov and the results of the artillery and aviation units independently according to the plan just now, and carefully count the corpses of the Japanese troops in the encircled area. ”

Here, only Blyukhel would interrupt Lin Jun's speech, but Comrade Marshal seemed to be very interested in being an audience.

"The corpses were either blown up or charred, but the calculation wasn't difficult." Lin Jun said.

"Isn't that hard? How can a pile of minced meat and coke be so easy to calculate? A few officers thought to themselves, of course they were embarrassed to say.

"It's very simple, two legs are counted as one, a torso is counted as one, a head or two complete ears are counted as one, two arms are also counted as one, even if you put two palms together, those charred corpses are easier to count. If this is a small number of bizarre, then look for fingers, anyway, if you get ten of them, it will be one. If that's not enough, then every 25 kilograms of minced meat is counted as one; If it still doesn't work――――――"

"Comrade Andrey, I will let the comrades count according to your method." Blyukhel finally interrupted Lin Jun's speech, Comrade Marshal didn't want this Kremlin "monster superman" to continue to talk about it, and if he said it, the comrades in the army would become vultures sweeping the battlefield.

The colleagues didn't dare or were embarrassed to look at Lin Jun with overly surprised eyes, but Lin Jun could still feel their thoughts: "Is Comrade Andrei's ancestor a professional corpse collector?!" Otherwise, how could you think of such a classic method?! ”

"It's all from the sea of corpses and blood of the domestic revolutionary war, and it's not too much for me to say that?" Lin Jun thought.

It's not too much, but it's too strange for such words to come out of the mouth of the Kremlin's "prince", and it's relatively normal for a front-line company commander or battalion commander to come up with such an idea.

Since you don't want to hear it, I'm too lazy to say it.

"Marshal Blyukhel, what are the movements of the Japanese army on the side of the Kwantung Army?" At the time of victory, we must not forget the Japanese special detachment dispatched by the 4th Division.

"The latest intelligence shows that the unit is still gathering and is still more than a hundred kilometers from the border."

"It's late again." Lin Jun thought.
