The majestic Hangai Mountains traverse the central part of Outer Mongolia from east to west. The Hangai Mountains www.biquge.info Bi Qu Ge stretch for about 700 kilometers, with an average altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 meters. The highest mountain, Tengger Peak, is more than 4,000 meters above sea level. The Segeleng River and the Orkhon River both originate from the northern slope. The northern slope is covered with coniferous forests, and the southern slope is grassland pastures with many hot springs. Although the northern foot of the Hangai Mountains is covered with a large number of coniferous forests, the undulating hills at the foot of the mountain range are distinctive.

Hala Helin is a beautiful town at the northern foot of the eastern side of the Hangai Mountains and the upper reaches of the Orkhon River, and has now become a strategic point in the western part of Kulun. The Orkhon River flows slowly from the west side of Hala and Lin, and even during the wet season, people and animals can wade across the river. If tanks and combat vehicles want to easily cross the natural barrier of the Orkhon River, they can only choose to cross the river in Hala Horin and the upper reaches of the river. Although the Soviet army could erect pontoon bridges downstream to allow tanks to cross the river, the Soviet army did not have this condition at present.

When Li Yunlong received the combat order from the headquarters, he set up an ambush in a forest on the west side of the river and waited for the arrival of his prey. The attack group on the eastern front was blocked by a large-scale offensive on the 3rd, and Zhukov ordered the right flank attack group to launch a diversion battle, with the intention of mobilizing the enemy's defensive forces. The commander of the attack group on the right was General Higgin, who received Zhukov's order and immediately drew up a battle plan. Due to the original nature of the Orkhon River barrier, he chose the area of attack between Ejiruor and Hala and Lin.

According to the data provided by the operational staff officer, Shikin believed that launching an attack on the Egilor River would pose the greatest threat to Kulen, but the premise was that the southern part of the country must be captured and the Egilor could be flanked in order to achieve the combat objective. Although Higgin's troops had 200,000 troops, they were not superior in the number of troops distributed along the riverside front. The 1st Army was located in Erkhon and the 8th Army was located in Bulgan, with the aim of pinning down the 3rd and 7th armies of the Eighth Route Army.

Fighting southward, Higgin did not have many cards in his hand, only the 2nd Red Banner Army and the 10th Mechanized Army. The 2nd Red Banner Army has two tank divisions and four infantry divisions, with a strength of about 60,000 troops. The 10th Mechanized Corps includes a tank brigade, a mechanized infantry division, as well as a vehicle-mounted rocket regiment and a motorized regiment, with a total strength of 20,000 troops. It was about 400 kilometers from Bulgan to Hala and Lam, and the front was long and logistically replete was difficult.

After careful study, Shikin decided to fight in the south with the mechanized 10th Army, and the two tank divisions of the 2nd Red Banner Army were responsible for covering and receiving in the northern area of Ejirol. Shikin believed that if the mechanized 10th Army could take Ejirol, the main force of its 2nd Army could take the opportunity to cross the river and attack Kulen from the west. If it is impossible to capture Egilor, it can also involve the enemy's heavy forces and create conditions for a breakthrough on the Eastern Front. Choosing one of the two, Higgin chose to break through the defense line along the river, so he ordered the 10th Mechanized Army to move south.

The commander of the 10th Mechanized Army, Lieutenant General Vasilyev, received an order from Shiggin and was ready to move out with great ambition. Through the reconnaissance of the air force, it was learned that Egilore was heavily guarded by enemy troops, but Hala and Lin were empty, Vasilyev believed that the reason why the enemy did not fortify in Hala and Lin was the reason for the lack of defensive forces, so Vasilyev ordered the independent tank brigade to quickly move south, forcibly occupy Hala and Lin, and flank Egilur.

The 10th Mechanized Army Independent Tank Brigade is a unit formed by the Soviet Army in accordance with the modern mode of operations. The department has 65 T34 tanks of the latest type, a mixed self-propelled artillery regiment, a rocket artillery battalion, and a logistics regiment. The T34 tank was first finalized in 40 years and was almost vulnerable in the German Tiger contest. The German Tiger tank destroyed the T34 tank after firing at 1,000 meters, while the Soviet T34 tank had to rush to a distance of 500 meters to destroy the German Tiger tank.

In April 43, the Soviets captured a German Tiger tank during the battle, and after inspection and testing, it was found that the T34 tank 76mm gun could penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger tank at 200 meters. The Soviets searched for armor-piercing artillery and found an 85-mm anti-aircraft gun that could penetrate the armor of the Tiger tank at 1,000 meters. The military-industrial department of the Soviet army immediately set about modifying the T34, installing the 85 anti-aircraft gun on the turret, so that its frontal armor reached 120 mm on the sides

Face armor 90 mm, frontal turret armor up to 160 mm.

Due to the temporary modification and unreasonable overall structural design, the original T34 tank had to be widened and weighed 45 tons, and the tank's maneuverability declined. However, the modified T34 tank, in the 44 Kolson operation, the T34 modified tank changed its decline, and in the battle against the Tiger tank, it did not fall behind at all, and even surpassed the Tiger tank in some performance. In the later stage of World War II, Soviet Russia upgraded the combat performance of tanks and walked in the forefront of the world.

However, what the Russians did not expect was that the tanks produced in China did not have any outstanding records, and the number was pitiful, and they were actually their nemesis. Due to Ouyang Jian's understanding of the Soviet-style tank and its performance, the original production of the Cheetah 1 tank was for the Soviet-style T26, and the Cheetah 2 tank was for the T34 modified tank, although the Cheetah 2 tank weighed only 35 tons, which was smaller than the size of the T34, but his frontal protective armor was 130 mm, the side protective armor was 95 mm, and the frontal turret protective armor was 165 mm.

After Liu Xiaofeng's tank regiment was transferred to the northeast, Li Yunlong's tank brigade added another tank regiment, and this latest tank regiment was no different from the Cheetah 2 tank in appearance, and the biggest difference was the artillery. The latest Cheetah 2 tank, its 100 mm gun was changed from rifled guns to smoothbore guns, some people may ask, the early guns were smoothbore guns, isn't this a step backwards? The projectiles fired by the smoothbore guns were unpredictable, and the accuracy could not be guaranteed at all, and the later guns were basically rifled guns, so the accuracy rate was greatly improved. Rifled guns can be changed to smoothbore guns, why?

However, in modern warfare, with the development of science and technology, the advantages of smoothbore guns have begun to come to the fore. For example, the mortar belongs to the smoothbore gun, and the tail fin that appears behind it solves the problem of stable flight of the shell very well. Why do tank guns use smoothbore guns, and what are the advantages compared to rifled guns? The rifled artillery shell belt is embedded in the rifling, the gun chamber is well sealed, the chamber pressure is high, and the resistance is large, which is not conducive to increasing the muzzle velocity, and the armor-piercing ability is poor, but the accuracy is high. In addition, rifled guns were difficult to manufacture due to high bore pressure.

For smoothbore guns, in order to solve the problem of stable flight of shells, the method of tail and oblique flamevents is adopted to make the projectile rotate on its own in the air to maintain stable flight. The smoothbore gun has low resistance and high muzzle velocity, good armor-piercing effect, and the disadvantage is that the accuracy is relatively poor. In addition, the smoothbore chamber is low-pressed, the barrel is easy to manufacture and has a long service life. Since the armor-piercing ability of tank combat is the top priority, it is the general trend for smoothbore guns to replace rifled guns as tank guns. The main battle tanks of all countries in the world today use smoothbore guns.

Li Yunlong's tank brigade is all tank fighting vehicles. A medium tank regiment of the latest 60 tanks (smoothbore guns), a medium tank regiment 60 (rifled guns), a light tank regiment 60 units, a total of 180 tanks. It can be said that the independent tank brigade of the Eighth Route Army only has the number of tanks, which is equivalent to a tank division of the Soviet Army. The new Cheetah 2 tank has an armor-piercing capacity of up to 200 mm at a distance of 1,000 meters. It can be said that the new Cheetah 2 tank is a tank built for the future, which is doomed to the sorrow of this tank brigade of the Soviet army.

In the face of the lone advance of a tank brigade of the Soviet army, Lin ordered Li Yunlong to eliminate this tank brigade and eliminate the Soviet army's attempt to outflank it in the south. In the woods, the morning sun shines through the dense needles, giving it a dappled feeling. Next to a camouflaged tank fighting vehicle, brigade commander Li Yunlong listened to the sound of radio waves emanating from the cockpit of the tank, and his expression was extremely excited. Last month, his wife Mei Ting left Kulun to return to Shanghai to give birth, and the war was imminent, and Li Yunlong did not want his pregnant wife to stay on the battlefield.

It happened that Mei Fang asked Mei Ting to go back to Shanghai to give birth to a child, and she could take care of her, but Li Yunlong couldn't ask for it, so he took the opportunity to push the boat down the river. At this time, Li Yunlong was a little distracted, and his mind flew to Shanghai. "Report, the 1st Tank Regiment has entered the designated position!" Li Yunlong woke up, and his expression immediately became serious.

"Order the tank regiment, the main force will attack for half an hour before dispatching, and the Soviet artillery regiment, rocket artillery battalion, and logistics regiment must not be allowed to escape." "Report, the 1st Brigade of the Independent Cavalry Division is calling!" The chief of staff took the telegram and glanced at it and said, "The brigade commander, the 1st Cavalry Brigade, has completed the assembly. "The 1st Brigade of the Cavalry was ordered to outflank the Soviet troops in the north after the battle broke out to prevent the escape of the Soviet troops who had slipped through the net!"

"Brigade commander, if the 10th Army learns of the crisis of the tank brigade, it is possible to urgently reinforce it!" "I would like the Soviets to be reinforced urgently, the 4 wheels are running fast, but behind the Soviets are infantry divisions, if you don't have the guts, you can rest assured!" "Report, the reconnaissance unit called, the Soviet tank brigade is still 15 kilometers away!" Li Yunlong glanced at his watch and said, "In another 20 minutes, the enemy army will appear, order all units to prepare for battle!" At the sound of an order, the tank crews operating outside quickly got into the tanks and waited for them.

On the west side of the Orkhon River, the rolling wilderness and turquoise grass form a special scenery. Patches of trees are dotted among them, and it seems to be in harmony. At this moment, the ground shook, the motor roared, and the figures of tanks and trucks appeared in the field of vision. Most of the tank crews of the Soviet army opened the turret door, and their bodies were exposed to enjoy the coolness, enjoying the fresh and refreshing breath, not realizing the danger approaching at all.

Don't forget the national shame and rejuvenate China!
