Unexpectedly, in order to save face, the Soviet army pressed all of its tank divisions up.?

The tank division of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia has two tank brigades and one motorized infantry brigade, with about 5,600 troops in the whole division, each tank brigade is equipped with 93 tanks, and the motorized infantry brigade is basically infantry, with thousands of intakes.

The Soviet army has a certain difference from the German army in terms of establishment, the establishment of the Soviet army division level is generally small, unlike the German army, the German armored division adopts a master establishment, generally more than 15,000 points, and the largest supernumerary division is close to 30,000 points.

The Soviet Union uses a small division, with a tank division of about 5,000-8,000, no artillery support, and only a few infantry carrying tanks.

The tanks equipped by the tank division of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia are mainly T-26 light tanks and BT-7 light tanks, and because of Zhang Yunfei's butterfly, the Soviet Army did not produce the famous T-34 tank, and the famous T-34 tank has been produced by Zhang Yunfei in advance, that is, the Type 39 tank of the 36th Group Army.

The Type 39 tank has been put into production for two years, has been tested in actual combat, and has undergone several improvements, and the current Xing can be improved to a certain extent on the basis of the original.

The main tank of the tank division of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia was the T-26 light tank, in addition to a certain number of BT-7 light tanks, and the T-26 tank was the first tank to be equipped with the Soviet army in large quantities.

The T-26 tank was officially finalized in 1931 and equipped with the Soviet Red Army in 1932. It was one of the main equipment of the tank units of the Soviet Red Army in the early days. The main gun of the T-26 tank was 37 caliber, and the T-26B caliber was increased to 45. However, the T-26 light tank had poor armor protection and was not capable enough to resist enemy fire.

T-26 tanks have been in production for many years, and the T-26 tanks equipped by the 1st Tank Division of the Soviet Army in Mongolia are all improved T-26B tanks, and the caliber of the main guns is all 45 mm, which is much more powerful than the previous 37 mm main guns.

The firepower of the T-26B tank should exceed that of the German No. 2 tank, and even the same level as the early No. 3 tank, although the firepower of the T-26B tank is good, but its protection ability is relatively poor, for example, the front armor is only 25 mm, which is a typical tank with strong attack and weak defense.

In China, T-26 tanks are also equipped, such as the only mechanized unit - the 200th Division, which is equipped with a total of 70 T-26s, 4 BT-5s, and 18 Fiat CV-33 tanks.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fifth Army, based on the 200th Division, inflicted heavy losses on the Fifth Division of the Ri Army in the Battle of Kunlun Pass.

This time, in order to save face, the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia sent all its tank divisions, which shows that the Soviet Army has made a bloody effort to inflict heavy losses on the 36th Army in one fell swoop.

The frontal position of the fighters was the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column, which had six infantry regiments, a tank regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment, in addition to an artillery regiment equipped with 60 105mm howitzers.

The position of the 1st Infantry Division stretched for nearly ten kilometers, and the depth of the position reached a depth of several kilometers, divided into several defensive lines, and on the position, the soldiers had long been ready for battle.

Not far from the edge of the position of the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column, only a few kilometers apart, is the huge position of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 4th Column, and the size of the position of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 4th Column is only much larger than the position of the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column.

Around noon.

On a forward position of the 1st Infantry Division, several soldiers at an observation post were carefully observing the front, in front of which was a large area of flat Gobi, with a very wide field of vision, and the distant horizon could almost be seen with a telescope.

The soldiers knew that in the distance, ten kilometers away from the fighters, there were quite a few Soviet and Mongolian troops, so these soldiers, who acted as forward observation posts, did not relax at all, but looked ahead with binoculars.

Suddenly, a soldier put down his binoculars and rubbed his eyes, just now, this soldier saw a startled scene, on the horizon in the distance, it seemed that a large number of tanks were moving towards him.

Scooping up the binoculars again, the soldier finally determined that there were a large number of tanks in the distance, and he had not been dazzled just now.

So, the fighter immediately shouted: "Comrades! A large number of tanks appeared at the front, I guess the tank groups of the Soviet army. ”

At this time, the rest of the soldiers also saw this scene, and when everyone saw this situation, they did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately reported it, and soon, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division knew about the situation.

Seeing that the Soviet army dispatched so many tanks, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division immediately ordered his tank regiment to meet him, and at the same time ordered his mechanized infantry regiment to outflank him.

The situation was urgent, and it was too late to hesitate, but fortunately, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division was very decisive and reported to his column commander after giving the order.

Immediately, the 2nd Column Tank Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division met it, and the 2nd Column Tank Regiment was a fully organized regiment with two tank battalions and one mixed battalion, each tank battalion was equipped with 46 Type 39 tanks, and the mixed battalion was equipped with 22 Type 39 tanks and more than 20 Type 39 armored personnel carriers.

Hundreds of chariots and horses of tank regiments

The mechanized infantry regiment was not slow, and immediately outflanked the Soviet flank.

The mechanized infantry regiment is mainly equipped with Type 39 personnel carriers and armed off-road vehicles, which are just quickly outflanking the Soviet army, and the Soviet army seems to have a lot of infantry in addition to tanks, and these infantry are the target of the mechanized infantry regiment.

The tank groups on both sides are getting closer and closer, and a large-scale tank battle is about to begin.

The joint command of the 2nd and 4th columns.

The commanders of the two columns had already received a report from the front, and the two entered knew that the Soviet army had finally attacked in a big way, so the two entered looked at each other and thought in their hearts, I didn't expect the Soviet army to spend so much money this time, send so many troops, and actually have a huge tank group.

"Lao Luo! This time it's a bad comer! ”

"It's o!" Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th column, immediately said: "The Soviet army is menacing, this time it will be a hard fight, and the tanks of your 1st Infantry Division will meet it, and it may be slightly insufficient." ”

After thinking about it, Luo Jihua immediately said to a correspondent next to him: "Hurry up and pass on my order, order the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division to meet the enemy quickly and quickly attack the Soviet army." ”

The closest to the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column was the 3rd Infantry Division of the 4th Column, and Luo Jihua immediately sent the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division.

In this way, there will be two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments to meet the enemy, and in terms of the number of tanks, everyone will not be at a disadvantage, but will have an advantage.

The tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 4th Column are also fully staffed, and after such a long period of development, all units of the 36th Army are now basically fully staffed, including tank regiments, mechanized infantry regiments and artillery regiments.

The tanks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, and artillery produced in the base areas of the 36 th Group Army have been continuously equipped with troops, and all units have basically achieved full strength, even the infantry divisions have basically been motorized, equipped with large trucks, and even a small number of off-road vehicles and armored command vehicles.

The two entered a little discussion, and after issuing the order, they immediately reported the situation to Zhang Yunfei who was far away in Datong, Bi Jing This time is a big battle in the real sense, and it is a large-scale collision between the 36th Group Army and the Soviet Army in the real sense.

Front.

The commanders of the two columns had just given the order, and the tank regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column was not far from the tank group of the Soviet army, and the mechanized infantry regiment of the 1st Infantry Division had also outflanked it.

Even the tank regiment and the combat vehicles of the 3rd Infantry Division of the 4th Column and the mechanized infantry regiment were also launched at this time, and they were driving at high speed from more than ten kilometers away.

The commander of the tank regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the 2nd Column also saw the Soviet tank group only one or two kilometers in front of him through the observation window of his armored command vehicle at this time.

As the distance got closer and closer, the situation of the Soviet army in front became clearer and clearer, and in the huge offensive team of the Soviet army, there were about 200 tanks in front, and these tanks, forming a front two or three kilometers wide, were rushing towards them with great momentum.

Behind the Soviet tanks, a large number of infantry could still be seen following up, and seeing such a big battle of the Soviet army, the tank commander not only did not have the slightest fear, but a trace of excitement surged in his heart.

It's fun to have a big battle like this!

Many of the soldiers of the tank regiment are also in the same mood as their own regiment commander, everyone is slightly excited, as a tank regiment, there has not been a tank battle in the real sense, before, everyone was basically bullying the infantry of the little devil or the little devil's Peeto tank, that kind of battle is not fun at all.

"Comrades! Get ready to fire! ”

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the tank regiment commander gave the battle order, and at this time, the Soviet tanks had already entered the shè range of the Type 39 tank, and they were completely ready to open fire.

Receiving orders from his regimental commander, the Type 39 tank at the front fired its first shot, and for the sake of prudence, this tank still used armor-piercing shells.

"Boom!"

The barrel of the moving Type 39 tank flashed with fire, and suddenly, a 75 mm armor-piercing shell whistled towards a Soviet tank.

Almost at the same time, a number of tanks in front of the ranks of the fighters also opened fire, and after the fighters fired the first shot of this tank, these tanks also began shelling, shelling the Soviet tanks in the distance.
