September 15, 1943. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOuter Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar.

The Japanese attack reached the third day.

It is a miracle that the Japanese army attacked hungry for so long. With limited fish soup, can you really last so long?

Yukio Kasahara looked at the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army who fell in rows and had mixed feelings. The firepower of the counterattack on the opposite position seems to be less intense, and one or two more attacks will allow you to enter the city of Ulaanbaatar.

This battle is almost comparable to the final battle of the Battle of Nomenkan, and it stands to reason that the Chinese casualties should be large, and the Japanese casualties should be smaller. The reason is simple, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is not good, and the Japanese army that attacked the Soviet Union is the strongest army.

The actual situation is different, because the Japanese army does not have heavy weapons, and the Northeast Coalition Army has, although there are not many, but there are tanks; The Japanese army did not have a strong logistical support, and the Northeast Coalition Army did, although it was a mixed transport fleet of cars and ox carts; The Japanese army did not have air superiority, the Northeast Coalition Army did, even if it was an aircraft snatched from the Japanese army.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yukio Kasawara sent another group of men. This is the reserve, his most elite unit.

This unit really lived up to his expectations, and the lower-ranking officers rushed to the front, and soon attacked the forefront of the position with their skillful combat skills and tenacious will, and after rushing more than ten meters, the position was taken.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the opposite side.

Tank!

Yukio Kasahara's heart sank. He knew that his infantry would not be able to defeat the tanks.

The officers next to him did not want him to order, and immediately organized death squads, distributed explosives, and went to blow up tanks.

Soon, hundreds of daredevils were organized, they had white strips of cloth with red dots wrapped around their heads, grenades in their waists, and explosives bags in their hands, and they were divided into more than a dozen queues to fight neatly, and several officers mobilized a few words, and these people set off with loud shouts.

But the other side didn't give them a chance at all, the tank drove very slowly, the infantry followed, and the death squad was all killed when they were more than 20 meters away from the tank.

Arriving at the corpse of the death squad, the infantry who followed the tank shot a few shots at the corpse. After that, the tank moved on. None of the daredevils succeeded. The only explosives package exploded was caused by the other side hitting the explosives, killing several Japanese death squads.

Twenty minutes later, the tanks drove to the core of the Japanese position as if they were marching in formation.

The brigade of tanks drove into the battlefield and the killing began.

This battlefield has only a gentle slope, the pasture gnawed by livestock is like a carpet, there are no trenches, there are not even many craters, the Japanese have nowhere to hide here, and the Chinese infantry cover themselves behind the tank flanks, constantly firing their guns. The tanks also did not fire, and the machine guns fired non-stop. Bullets were also fired from the firing holes on the tank, and, apparently, the tank crew was also shooting.

Later, some people commented that in this big war, one side was the tank infantry coordination, and the other side only had infantry, but there was no situation where tanks slaughtered a large number of infantry in a big war, which shows that the tactics of infantry against tanks have improved. Some people believe that the large number of Japanese casualties is mainly due to the fact that they do not have much ammunition left.

Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died in tank battles, a small number of them were killed by tanks, and most of them were shot by infantry who followed the tanks.

Yukio Kasawara didn't want to leave, so he was set up by several staff officers and guards and quickly fled. Yukio Kasawara had no choice but to give an order on the way to retreat, telling all his troops to retreat westward, looking for an opportunity to cross the river, to the south bank of the river, and then retreat to the south.

At this time, Yukio Kasahara saw the true strength of the Northeast Coalition Army opposite, dozens of tanks, followed by tens of thousands of people, unhurriedly shooting forward. Many of these people's guns are submachine guns, melee attacks, and like machine guns, they have a lot of firepower.

Yukio Kasawara was annoyed. He was not only annoyed that a large number of Japanese troops had been slaughtered, but also at his own error in judgment. He originally judged that there were tanks in the Northeast Coalition Army that could pass through the steppes of Outer Mongolia, because they had no fuel and there were no developed railways in Outer Mongolia. Oil needs to be transported by a large number of cars, and they don't have it, so can they use ox carts to transport oil?

For example, Yukio Kagasawara knew that the other party's oil was indeed transported by ox cart in some sections, and I don't know how he would sigh.

After closing in on the Japanese troops, the tanks stopped firing one after another, and seemed to run out of bullets. However, by this time, the Japanese army had no bullets. The tank simply accelerated, crushing the Japanese with tracks.

Kasawara Yukio saw more than that, the sound of artillery came from the northern hillside, mainly infantry guns and mortars, the artillery was so close that the shells exploded from north to south, covering the Japanese positions. At the same time, shouts came from the mountains on the north side, and the soldiers who rushed down kicked up smoke and dust, like a great storm.

How many troops do they have?

Less than five kilometers to the west, shouts of killing were heard on the road to the west, and the cavalry charge was also in smoke. The one that ran in front began to shoot, and it was also that kind of submachine gun.

Yukio Kasawara made a quick decision and crossed the river with his troops. Just cross the river, you can throw off them, throw off the cavalry, throw off the tanks.

The river forks and forks, and is densely packed with willow bushes. Fortunately, it is now September, the water is not deep, and soon it will be on the south bank of the river. The soldiers carried Yukio Kasawara and fled south with their horses dead. The fastest of the pursuing tanks entered the river and could not climb. The pursuing infantry desperately crossed the river, chasing and firing at the same time. Without tanks, the lethality of the infantry immediately weakened.

The Japanese army divided a part of the men to block the pursuers, and the large force ran for more than two hours, and the infantry behind was thrown far away. Soon, the pursuing infantry broke away from the battlefield. But the cavalry came again.

Yukio Kasahara gathered his troops, and the original 200,000 troops are now less than 100,000. He was experienced, observed the battlefield, and almost none of his troops were fully formed. After a little rectification, the large army set off at once. Tens of thousands of wounded soldiers were almost non-wounded, and all the wounded soldiers stayed on the road to block the cavalry of the Northeast Coalition Army.

Kasawara Yukio's troops were currently located in the southwest of the Bogdor Mountains, and from a distance they saw a herdsmen's settlement at the foot of the mountain in front of them.

The desperate cannon sound of the Japanese army rang out again.

This time, the shell was fired from somewhere, dragging a white line in the distance, and it was only after landing that the power of the shell's explosion was noticed. In less than a minute, several hundred shells exploded in the ranks.

Yukio Kasahara's command immediately issued an order, which was the advanced weapon of the Northeast Eighth Route Army, to disperse quickly and retreat to the south. The Japanese already had experience in coping with such shelling.
