At 5 a.m., Andrei walked into a military tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The commander of the 82nd and 83rd divisions was discussing, and when he saw Andrei walking in, the commander of the 82nd division said: "Comrade Andrei, we discussed an offensive plan and obtained the approval of General Mikhail. "Any offensive plan requires our tanks to take the lead, so how do you want me to cooperate?" "That's right, our two divisions launched attacks on both flanks to expand the area of attack."

The commander of the 83rd Division interjected: "After two consecutive days of fierce fighting, the Chinese defenders suffered heavy losses. We attack on both flanks, your armored brigade assaults in the center, and at that time all artillery will be concentrated, and the air force fighters will be vigorously supported to break through the enemy lines in one fell swoop. "The plan of the two of you is very good, I will go back and prepare immediately!" Andrei got up and was about to take a step when suddenly the sound of gunfire and mortar explosions was heard from the southwest. When the three people heard this, they were frightened and hurriedly ran out of the military tent.

"Don't panic, it must be a small group of enemy troops attacking and harassing, immediately organize troops to destroy them!" The commander of the 82nd division seemed to be calm. But as soon as his words fell, a straddle motorcycle stopped in front of him, "Report, a large number of Chinese troops have appeared in the western direction!" "An officer reports." I immediately organized a tank counterattack! Andrei got on the motorcycle and drove away. As commanders, the two Soviet division commanders, including Andrei, did not realize that the danger was approaching.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Chen Fang, commander of the 46th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, led four regiments to the left side of the roundabout attack position. The 46th Brigade has four regiments, one of which is an anti-tank regiment, and after the end of the Taiwan Campaign, this anti-tank regiment was organized into two anti-tank regiments in the main force of the 2nd Corps of the Eighth Route Army, namely the 6th Army and the 7th Army, according to the instructions of Chief of Staff Ouyang. This anti-tank regiment was equipped not only with anti-tank barrels, but also with anti-tank grenades newly developed by the Jiangxi Arsenal.

As for other methods of dealing with tanks, the anti-tank regiments have conducted systematic exercises. At 5:30, 3 infantry regiments and an anti-tank regiment quietly moved to the right flank of the Soviet army. For the counterattack operation of the Chinese army, the Soviet generals, including Mikhail, did not expect that the Soviet generals were now focused on how to quickly break through the defense line and take the city of Kodo. The officers and men of the Eighth Route approached the Soviet troops, and with an order, they launched an attack on the tigers in the lower mountains.

The Soviet army's reaction was very slow, and it had to do with the fact that the Soviet generals despised their opponents, but it had more to do with the newly formed 28th Army. Due to the continuous fighting of the Soviet army, there was a shortage of soldiers, and prisoners were forcibly enlisted, and about one-fifth of the soldiers of the 28th Army were prisoners. These prisoners' fighting will and fighting spirit may not have any problem in the war against Germany, but when they enter the Mongolian steppe to fight, they will inevitably want to get into trouble.

These prisoners who served their sentences were promised that after the victory in the Great Patriotic War, they would receive ****. But after the victory of the Great Patriotic War, they were inexplicably dragged to Mongolia to fight against the Chinese army, which made them unbearable. It is natural to die in the Great Patriotic War, but fighting in the Mongolian steppe is to help the Mongolian people gain independence and freedom. The gap between each other, not to mention the impact on these prisoners who were once prisoners, even ordinary soldiers.

On the right side of the Soviet army is the 83rd Division, and last night the 83rd Division was in charge of the offensive and fought for half the night. In the morning, the 83rd Division was changing its defense, replacing the attacking troops from last night and going down to rest, and the reserve units in the back were pulled up to take charge of today's attack. When the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack from the right flank, the Soviet troops that were changing their defenses were suddenly attacked. First of all, mortar shells were intensively attacked, guns and grenades were overwhelming, and the Soviet soldiers were immediately in confusion. Some of the Soviet soldiers spontaneously resisted, while others chose to flee backwards.

In the face of the brave onslaught of the Eighth Route Army, the resisting Soviet soldiers collapsed within ten minutes due to the lack of unified command, and most of the soldiers retreated to the northwest. At this time, Soviet tanks in the middle of the battle line met and intercepted. Because the tank units were in a hurry to meet the battle, there was no unified command, and there was no mutual defense and protection. The key is that the anti-tank regiment of the Eighth Route Army is stronger and more terrifying than the anti-tank battalion of the 33rd Army.

The soldiers of the anti-tank regiment bravely rushed into the enemy position, and in less than ten minutes, the Soviet tanks that were fighting separately were either destroyed by rockets or killed by anti-tank grenades. What's even more terrifying is that the other party actually used ****** at close range, ****** it was originally the patent of the Soviet army, and the Chinese army would actually use such a cheap weapon. A chaotic blow was struck, and more than 30 Soviet tanks were killed. However, the Soviet tanks were not afraid and still bravely pounced.

The Soviet infantry had just stabilized their position in a panic, and suddenly the figure of the cavalry unit jumped out of the Chinese army's position and launched a huge attack. Tanks should be the nemesis of cavalry, but all the Soviet tanks were put into the right flank to fight, and when the Soviet 82nd Division on the left flank was on the defensive, the cavalry of the Chinese army suddenly launched a powerful offensive, and the Soviet soldiers were stunned. On the forward position, army commander Huo Shouyi and division commander Li Peiying were all excited when they saw the shocking scene of the cavalry attack.

"Commander, I didn't expect our cavalry to play such a role, I think the Soviet army will collapse soon." "Brother, it should be said that the offensive of the Eighth Route Army played a decisive role. Let's not say that a brigade, even a division, will not dare to attack, this is the gap. With the help of the Eighth Route Army, the Soviet army did not want to capture Ke much, it was a dream. "Report, the Soviet army has retreated!" One of his subordinates shouted.

The defeat was like a mountain, and with the independent cavalry division of the 33rd Army, the mountains and seas launched an attack, and the Soviet 82nd Division on the left flank collapsed first. In the melee, Andrei's tank brigade, when he hesitated, was killed dozens of tanks. The Soviet tank crews did not wait for the order and spontaneously retreated at full speed. Several Soviet vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, due to the muddy ground crushed by the tank tracks, the trucks climbed like snails. A squad of cavalry rushed over, and the Soviet rocket artillery immediately abandoned the truck and fled, and those who did not have time to escape became prisoners.

A cavalry company commander circled around a vehicle-mounted rocket launcher and said, "Damn, it's this kind of rocket artillery that made us suffer a lot and blew it up." "Several cavalrymen jumped off their horses and pulled out grenades, when a group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed over." Stop it! An officer of the Eighth Route Army shouted to stop him.

Brigade Commander Chen Fang stood on the jeep and looked at the battlefield, and a one-wheeled motorcycle stopped beside him. "Report to the brigade commander that the Soviet army was routed on all fronts, and the cavalry unit reported that they had captured 18 vehicle-borne rocket launchers, and asked how to deal with them."

"Haha, that's great!" Get me the head of the Tiger Regiment at once. "At about 6:30, the troops stopped the pursuit and cleaned up the battlefield. The presence of a large number of Soviet prisoners on the battlefield was all the more exciting. The destroyed tanks of the Soviet army were everywhere on the battlefield, and preliminary statistics showed that Andrei's tanks were destroyed more than 40 more within an hour. And the most serious losses of the Soviet army were that a large number of combat munitions were discarded.

At this time, Mikhail, who was located on the north bank of the city of Kodo, received the news of the rout of the Soviet army on all fronts, and did not seem to believe his ears. Upon further confirmation, he believed that reinforcements from the Chinese army had arrived and immediately ordered all artillery to open fire, thereby relieving the pressure on the routed Soviet troops. Mikhail in the headquarters, walking back and forth, anxiously waiting for news from the Soviet army. At the moment, he does not know how to report to Irkusco.

Andre and the two division commanders finally converged, and the three of them looked at each other in a very embarrassed manner. The commander of the 83rd Division said: "I can confirm that it is the troops of the Eighth Route Army that appear on the right flank, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. The counterattack force of the Eighth Route Army had at least one division, and our intelligence work was not accurate. "I can confirm that the right flank is the Eighth Route Army unit, which is more capable of anti-tank combat and is well trained." Andrei echoed. "At the moment of passing, the Chinese army suddenly entered the cavalry battle, and it was difficult for us to parry." The commander of the 83 division exonerated himself.

The three of them briefly discussed and believed that the arrival of reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army was unknown, and the attack must be stopped. Three men sent a telegram to Mikhail, asking the troops to withdraw to Ulegai to recuperate, and to increase reinforcements in the event of another attack. Mikhail received the report of the three people and was deeply shocked, not expecting reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army to come. He hurriedly reported to the Irkusco command, which did not reproach him, but told him to temporarily stop the offensive and wait for the command's order.

However, Mikhail did not expect that due to the ambush laid by the two division commanders and Andrei, who reported losses, especially the loss of vehicle-mounted rocket artillery, Mikhail was subjected to a fierce attack from his own rocket artillery. At the beginning, more than half of the losses of Li Peiying's troops came from rocket artillery attacks. The casualties of the coastal defense units in Kodo were also from the attack of Soviet rocket artillery.

You must know that the caliber of the Soviet rocket artillery is 203 mm, and the explosion is very terrifying. Even the tunnel fortifications of the defending troops suffered varying degrees of damage, which shows how powerful the rocket artillery is. The heavy artillery brigade of the 33rd Army suffered heavy losses, which were completely caused by the suppression of Soviet rocket artillery. Mikhail, believing that the artillery of the Chinese army was completely suppressed, ordered the artillery positions to move.
