Chapter 492: Autumn Wind Falling Leaf Rocket Artillery

Xiaolu's determination to reclaim Outer Mongolia excites Nikolai. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he even wanted to get involved. However, thinking of his identity, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

The two talked for a while, and when they left, Xiaolu said: "Nikolai, through this period of time together, what the two of us are thinking in our hearts, the other party can be said to be clear." Thank you for strengthening my resolve today. Do you have any requirements? What are the difficulties in life? ”

Nikolai said: "I want to send the child to Chongqing, do you think it's okay?" ”

Xiaolu said: "I'll ask for instructions, and I'll reply to you soon." How is it? ”

Hearing Nikolai's request, Xiaolu was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, just prevaricated.

October 7, 1941. Yichun. Airport.

Currently, Yichun has dozens of aircraft, some Japanese and some Soviet, all of which have been modified from downed aircraft. They also bought parts, and the most expensive were two or so aircraft engines bought from the USSR.

There were five transport--bombers in the plane. Only one aircraft has flown Yan'an a few times in Yichun, and the other planes are only used for training.

Today, Xiaolu carries 20 simple rocket launchers, that is, the kind that can be disassembled and carried by mules and horses, 1,000 rockets, and leads 20 rocket operators to board five transport planes and fly to Inner Mongolia. Only two fighters were escorted. I wanted to send a few more, but in order to save fuel, only two were sent.

At present, most of the new pilots have gone to the sky, and those who have made rapid progress can already participate in combat. This time, all but four of the crew members of the transport plane were pilots, all of whom were newly trained pilots and flight attendants.

In order to avoid the cities and routes of the Japanese army, the plane flew for four hours, landed at the grassland airfield of Wanquance, and two hours after refueling and takeoff, landed safely at an airfield in the steppe of Outer Mongolia. It's not far from Ulaanbaatar.

The plane landed in the twilight, and a thin figure greeted it first, it was Guan Xiangying. Behind him was Lin Meng, Du Xigang, and a Mongolian cadre, presumably Ulanfu.

Everyone was very excited to see each other, especially Lin Meng and Du Xigang, and the joy was on their faces. The path was built and they were naturally happy. In addition, I was even happier to see that Guan Xiangying was in good health.

Guan Xiangying said: "Let me introduce, this is Ulanfu, our Mongolian cadre. ”

Xiaolu said: "Hello. I know you, when you were in the USSR, you were a classmate of Commissar Deng and Nikolai. ”

Ulanfu said: "Exactly. Now, I have been transferred to Outer Mongolia, and I heard that it has something to do with you. ”

Xiaolu said: "Where." I just suggested sending our most competent Mongolian cadres. Lin Meng also has Mongolian cadres in their hands, but they lack experience and level. ”

Guan Xiangying said: "Let's discuss the battle plan." ”

Lin Meng said: "Our reconnaissance team has already reconnoitred all the targets. ”

The airfield is located more than 100 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, where the Japanese army is now almost entirely stationed in four barracks. Some Outer Mongolian soldiers were gathered to form a puppet army to help maintain law and order.

It turned out that the tank unit of the Outer Mongolian Army had less than 100 taels of tanks, and when the Japanese army invaded, they surrendered en masse, which was the main heavy weapon of the devils. The Japanese army did not have any heavy weapons, and in order to support Chita, the artillery and large units were gone, and now, more than 10,000 people are here, many of them are logistics personnel, and some spies.

The Eighth Route Army sent more than 15,000 troops to Outer Mongolia, including more than 3,000 logistics personnel, who brought thousands of pack horses, ammunition, winter clothes and luggage, grain and vegetables. In addition, there are transport troops transporting supplies to Outer Mongolia.

The five discussed the battle plan and immediately reported it to northern Shaanxi.

October 9, 1941. Outer Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar Airport.

Outer Mongolia in October is already very cold, and many places are already frozen.

There were several planes parked in the open air next to the airport, some Japanese planes, some original Mongolian planes, and passenger planes. In the morning light in the east, there was the rumbling of airplanes, and in a moment, seven planes arrived. The first Japanese Zero fighter plane dived down at the airfield, and the machine guns aimed at the two anti-aircraft positions were a burst of strafing.

Soon, several other planes flew, which went over the airfield and began to drop bombs at an altitude of a hundred meters. In the first round, four bombs were dropped, each of which hit accurately, and four large craters were blown up on the runway.

The bomber spun around, and this time dropped five bombs, one of which landed on the runway, and the other four on the plane

Nearby, it was obvious that the plane was bombed. Several fighters were blown up.

Four bombers began to return home, one of them turned back and aimed at the command building of the airfield, on which one bomb exploded accurately.

In just three minutes, seven planes flew away, and the airfield in Ulaanbaatar was destroyed.

When the Japanese were still arguing whether it was the Soviet planes that attacked or the Japanese planes that bombed it by mistake, the Sky Dragon flew through the white smoke, hundreds of which were uncountable.

In the Japanese barracks, the Japanese soldiers had just gotten up and were eating, when they heard strange noises outside, many people came out to see the excitement, and saw white smoke in the distance, and they didn't know what it was.

However, in a few seconds, the white smoke reached the barracks, and the Japanese knew that it might be a bomb, but it was too late, and within a minute or two, two or three hundred rockets smashed into the barracks in an instant, and the explosions were continuous.

What kind of heavy artillery is this? Never seen it before.

All the houses in the entire barracks were destroyed, and after an explosion, the smoke gradually cleared, and there were not many people left alive in the entire barracks.

Then, the same shelling occurred in another barracks, because in the course of ten minutes, the second barracks had just heard the sound of explosions, and before they could take precautions, they were hit.

That morning, in less than 50 minutes, four Japanese barracks were bombed. The first three barracks suffered heavy losses, only the last one was evacuated, and the losses were a little smaller. Less than fifteen minutes after the bombing, the Japanese were still tidying up the barracks, and they heard the sound of war horses. The experienced Mongols had already heard that there were tens of thousands of war horses.

Then, the sound of killing was heard.

At this time, the Japanese had already seen clearly, a large number of war horses, a large number of cavalry, and the dust that rolled up obscured the rising sun.

The Japanese quickly took up arms and threw themselves into battle. At this time, the war horse had arrived. The horsemen did not come up and slash with their sabers, but shot at the barracks. The first platoon was full of submachine guns, and everyone fired at least a few dozen shots at the kung fu of the war horses.

According to the combat instructions, the man with the submachine gun must fire all 60 rounds of ammunition in two magazines during the first charge, and shoot at the enemy in front of him.

The second group of war horses ran by, still submachine guns. When the third group of warhorses came, grenades were thrown, and explosions rang out throughout the barracks.

According to the instructions, the grenade should be counted to three after pulling the line, and then thrown with all its might, in the direction of the front.

The first two groups of cavalry circled around the barracks, and saw that the weapons of the third wave of cavalry were sabers, and the swords were shining.

The third wave of cavalry went through, and there were not many Japanese troops capable of resisting.

By noon, the battle for the sneak attack on the Japanese barracks ended. The Eighth Route Army surrounded Ulaanbaatar with a large force.

The Japanese army was not in Ulaanbaatar. At this time, Ulaanbaatar had only a few main streets, flanked by Soviet-style buildings. The rest of the streets are mostly low-slung huts, and some even have permanent tents.

The Japanese army was all in Soviet-style buildings.

The Eighth Route Army rushed into the city, and those who resisted stopped fighting. Win more and less, and advance rapidly.

At night, there were only a few buildings where there was sporadic fighting. The command demanded that there be no delay in the use of artillery to blow up the resisting buildings.

The battle ended the next morning, and in the afternoon, the Eighth Route Army held an entry ceremony, and 10,000 cavalry marched into Ulaanbaatar.
