The target plane, at 3:30 p.m. on June 17, 1943, in the northwest of the Yanhuang Continent, Baotou City, where the headquarters of the Japanese army in Mongolia is located.
At this time, the entire army stationed in Mongolia was gloomy, and in the early morning, after the two troops under its jurisdiction set out to support Guisui and attack Suiyuan Wuyuan County respectively, bad news came one after another like waves.
First of all, it went to support the rescue force composed of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division (under the jurisdiction of the 8th and 12th Tank Wings) and the 6th Brigade of the Duli Mixed Brigade, which was stationed in the 2nd Brigade of Guisui Duli Mixed Brigade, and about 2 hours after departure, it sent a telegram in the Tuoketuo area east of Baotou, reporting that it had encountered an unknown enemy attack, and it was specifically noted that this enemy army was not only unknown in number, but also equipped with new armored combat vehicles that the Empire had never seen.
"What are you kidding!? The Imperial Army's most elite Armored Tank Division will not be able to resist it? This is one of only three Jing Rui Chariot Divisions in the Empire! When Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the armed forces stationed in Mongolia, read this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of scolding in his heart.
Fortunately, the surprise attack on the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division of the Tank (under the jurisdiction of the 13th and 17th Wing of the Tank) and the 26th Division of the 6th Brigade of the Tank in Wuyuan County, Suiyuan, were progressing smoothly, although they were also near Hangjinqi in the east of Baotou City, and were blocked by the Yanhuang Army, but the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division Tank Tadaki, Major General Asano Tadami, informed him by telegram that everything was going well for the surprise attack troops, and the attacking troops were currently attacking and dividing the enemy, and it was expected that they would be able to break through the enemy's blocking line in 2~3 hours. And completely annihilate this Yanhuang army that dared to stop the emperor's ** team. This calmed the mood of Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the troops stationed in Mongolia, a little.
Soon, however, as time went on, the fighting did not develop as Lieutenant General Yoshio had hoped last month, and the news from all sides became worse and worse. First of all, the Duli Mixed 6th Brigade in the Tuoketuo area in the east of Baotou called, and the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division (under the jurisdiction of the 8th and 12th Tank Wings) fought fiercely with the enemy for more than 1 hour, and they were all wiped out!! At present, the enemy's tank group is attacking towards the Duli Mixed 6th Brigade, and the entire brigade is suddenly attacked by the enemy's artillery cluster from an unknown location, the entire Duli Mixed 6th Brigade and the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division Logistics Support Unit, in this wave of firepower, nearly half of the casualties, from the brigade commander down, the captains of the major teams have all been martyred, and now the remnants of the 6th Brigade of the Duli Mixed Brigade are under the command of the squadron leaders and squad leaders, bravely killing the enemy and resisting desperately, but the whole battle situation has been extremely erosive, Request tactical guidance from HQ!
Nani, what's the joke? At this time, he asked for tactical guidance, and the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shangyue, couldn't help but scold in his heart: "Now the ** team of the upper and lower emperors in Baotou is only 5 or 6,000 people together, and this is still counting a large number of logistics troops and agency personnel, tactical guidance, what will I use for tactical guidance!" The sharpest tank units and field troops were all sent out, and they were beaten like this, what kind of enemy is it, could it be that the Soviet army suddenly attacked! โ
Just when the entire headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia was still discussing whether to carry out the rescue or not, who to send to the rescue, or to send a report to the Yanhuang Dispatch Army in Shanxi, requesting it to send troops to support, with the arrival of the last telegram from the Duli Mixed 6th Brigade, the destruction of the entire army sent to support Guisui County was announced.
The last telegram from the 6th Brigade of the Mixed Brigade was as follows:
"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Liangfu last month, all the officers and men of the remnants of the 6th Brigade of our Duli Mixed Brigade have decided to launch a decisive assault on the enemy army to show the honor of the emperor. Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, onboard! Onboard!! The Duli mixed 6th brigade was out of power. โ
Holding this telegram, the hands of the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, could not help but tremble, and said loudly: "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on!?" โ
"Hey! Last month, please be angry. Major General Yano Masao, chief of staff of the Mongolian army, said beside him: "Obviously, this is the Soviets launching an attack on us, the intelligence information provided by the call from the Duli Mixed 6th Brigade is obvious, the huge number of new tanks, the sudden appearance of firepower, these are the specialties of the Soviet army in the north!" โ
"Didn't Li Shouxin's (pseudo-Mongol zhรจngfu) cavalry unit notice it at all?" Hearing Major General Yano Masao's analysis, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, asked angrily and loudly.
"Hey! Last month, Your Excellency, the actual combat strength of Li Shouxin's troops has long been known to the whole empire, and there is no combat power at all. And I estimate that the armored division sent by the Soviet Union this time is very likely to be a thousand-mile raid, very similar to the blitzkrieg carried out by our allies, the German ** team, the intention is very likely to be to join forces with the Yanhuanghong Party in Shaanxi, I think it must be the 200,000 troops gathered by the empire in Shanxi, which completely frightened the courage of the Yanhuanghong Party, and after asking for help from the international allies, the Soviets, the latter sent reinforcements! Hearing Lieutenant General Yoshio last month's question, Major General Yano Masao, chief of staff of the Mongolian Army, continued to speak his analysis.
"There is some truth in what you said, if this is the case, the empire, especially our army stationed in Mongolia, will be very dangerous!" Hearing the analysis of the chief of staff, Major General Yano Masao, one ring after another, and with reasonable evidence, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, the commander-in-chief of the troops stationed in Mongolia, who was somewhat convinced, frowned and replied.
"Hey! Your Excellency last month, what you said is extremely true, once it is indeed the reinforcements sent by the Soviet Union to the south, then not only will it be the vanguard of the attack force, but after annihilating the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Tank Division (under the jurisdiction of the 8th and 12th Tank Wings) and the Duli Mixed 6th Brigade, it is very likely that it will march towards Baotou, where our army is located, and once it has a follow-up force, it will greatly change the war situation of the Imperial Army in the northwest region of the Yanhuang Continent! Major General Masao Yano, chief of staff of the Mongolian army, then analyzed.
"Command! Immediately send a telegram to the North China Front Army and the military headquarters of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, informing us that the county town of Guisui was attacked by the Yanhuang army at night, and that the chariot infantry task force sent by our side was attacked by an unknown army and was completely annihilated, and at the same time, according to the telegram sent by our army from the battlefield, the enemy was equipped with a large number of armored combat vehicles and large-caliber artillery. โ
"Hey! I'll send a report, but, Your Excellency last month, what should we do, the enemy is likely to be heading towards Baotou, should we transfer back the troops that attacked Wuyuan County to strengthen the strength of our army in Baotou. The Chief of Staff, Major General Yano Masao, replied as he asked.
"We...", Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, who was about to continue talking, was suddenly interrupted by a loud report outside.
"Report! Last month, Your Excellency, Your Excellency Yano, the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Tank (under the jurisdiction of the 13th and 17th Wing of the Tank) and the 1st Division of the 26th Division in the area of the Hangjin Banner, sent an urgent telegram for help, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown army, the enemy's firepower was fierce, the equipment was good, and the troops suffered heavy losses. A communications soldier ran into the house quickly and said loudly.
"Nani?!" Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, who had just digested the Tuoketuo area in the east of Baotou and the bad news of all the jade shatters of the Imperial Rescue Force, couldn't help but feel a blackness in front of him and a shake in his body.
"Your Excellency last month!" Seeing that his boss was standing a little unsteadily, Major General Yano Masao, chief of staff of the Mongolian army, quickly stepped forward to help him.
"I'm fine!" Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, waved his hand, then walked quickly to the large military map hanging on the right side of the room, stared carefully for ten seconds, and then said: "Now that a large number of Soviet Jingrui troops have appeared in the east and west of Baotou, it seems that their next target is Baotou!" โ
"Your Excellency, do we need to retreat immediately now and join up with the Emperor ** team in Shanxi!" Major General Masao Yano, Chief of Staff of the Mongolian Army, suggested.
"It's too late, the enemy is equipped with a large number of armored combat vehicles, once we leave the fortified city, it is easier to be scattered, divided, and defeated by the enemy on the grassland, only relying on the defense of Baotou City There is still a possibility of a battle, I order, you immediately send a telegram to the North China Front Army and the Yanhuang Dispatch Army Military Department, in addition to reporting the attack on our army and speculating that the Soviet army is attacking southward, I request the Shanxi Emperor ** team to immediately rush to the aid of Baotou, and all the officers and men of our Mongolian army will fight to the end, until the last person at the last moment, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements!" Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, said in a resolute tone.
"Hey!!" Major General Yano Masao, the chief of staff, who was infected by Yoshio last month's tone, also replied loudly in a slightly tragic tone, and then quickly ran to the telegraph room.
"Command!" After seeing Major General Yano Masao leave, the commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, said to the signal soldiers who had just run in, "Order the entire Baotou to enter a state of imminent battle, seize all the time, use all materials to set up fortifications, order the sappers to quickly lay mines outside the city, and at the same time recruit the imperial expatriates in the city, issue guns, enter the army, and fight together!" โ
"Hey!"
With the order of Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Mongolia, a strong atmosphere of preparation for war was enveloped in the sky of the entire Baotou.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji, and the commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, received a telegram of analysis that the troops stationed in Mongolia had been attacked by an unknown enemy and that it was suspected that the Soviet Union had sent troops southward.
The military headquarters of the Japanese Kou Yan Huang Dispatch Army.
At this time, Shunroku Hata was standing near the window of the room, his eyes fixed on the large-scale military map of the Yanhuang Continent hanging on the wall along the window, and the chief of the General Staff of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Matsujing Taikuro, the deputy chief of the General Staff, Yasuo Karakawa, Shikuro Ochiai, and Sabi Nagatsu were all on the side, as well as a group of senior staff officers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the distress and analysis telegram sent by Lieutenant General Yoshio last month has been clear, what do you think?" After pondering for 3 minutes, the commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata asked.
"Hey! Your Excellency Toshi Hatata, the telegram sent by your Excellency last month was extremely detailed, not only detailing the composition of our troops in the face of the attack on the Imperial forces, but also clearly stating that the enemy was equipped with a large number of new armored combat vehicle clusters. Deputy Chief of the General Staff Yasuo Karagawa was the first to speak.
"I agree with the opinion of the deputy chief of staff of Tang Chuan, it is obvious that only the Soviets can send a large number of armored combat vehicles around the Mongolian army, although the Yanhuang Bald Party has formed armored units in history, but its maximum establishment is the so-called regimental level of Yanhuang, and it is impossible to compete with the third division of the tank at the regimental level of the imperial division, and as early as 6 years ago, the southern campaign launched by the empire in Yanhuang and Huhai City has already wiped out their armored forces, as for the current situation of the Yanhuang Red Party even large-caliber artillery, which cannot be built by itself, So it is safe to say that it can only be the Soviets who went south to intervene, and it is very likely that it is the rescuers brought by the Yanhuanghong Party! Shikuro Ochiai continued.
"But I don't quite understand that the army of Germany, an ally of the Reich, is still fighting in the Soviet Union, how dare they send a large number of troops to aid the Yanhuanghongs?" The third deputy chief of the General Staff, Yongjin Sabi asked.
"Your Excellency Songjing, what do you think?" Hearing Yongjin Sabi's question, the commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, asked the chief of the general staff next to him, Matsujing Taikuro.
"Hey! Your Excellency Toshishi Hatata, the information is incomplete now, and judging from the information I have received so far, my judgment is that in the past, the empire implemented the policy of cracking down on the Yanhuang Bald Party and maintaining the Yanhuang Red Party, which promoted the internal division of Yanhuang, mutual attack, and mutual internal friction. Hearing Shunroku Hata's question, the chief of the General Staff, Matsujing Taikuro, immediately replied, "This time, because of the incident of His Royal Highness King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, and ordered to use the blood of all the soldiers of the Yanhuanghong Party to pay tribute to the heroic soul of His Royal Highness King Hengxian of Heyang Palace, so our army changed its previous strategy and gathered 200,000 troops to prepare for the total annihilation of the Yanhuanghong Party's army. I guess this is the main reason why they still divided their forces south under the attack of the German army. At the same time, based on the stubborn resistance at home and the attack of the German army, the allies of the Reich, I speculate that the Soviet army that secretly rushed south to aid the Red Party this time will not exceed 100,000 troops, about 80,000 to 100,000, which should also be the largest mobile force they can squeeze out! โ
"Well, I agree with your inferences and opinions, coupled with the fact that the field airfields in Shanxi of the empire were suddenly bombed by a large number of unknown enemy planes this morning, coupled with this news, it should be concluded that those planes were also sent by the Soviets. However, in this case, according to the calculation of the 80,000 to 100,000 troops sent by the Soviet Union, then the matter of supporting the Mongolian army needs to be cautious, 3 to 50,000 reinforcements are not only useless, but also will consume the precious military strength of the empire in vain, only more than 100,000 troops can rescue the Mongolian army far away in Baotou, but the mobilization of 100,000 troops will take a long time, it is estimated that the Soviet army has already broken through Baotou with only a few thousand guards. The commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hata said slowly.
"What do you mean, Mr. Toshitoshi Hatata?" After hearing Shunroku Hatata's analysis, the chief of the general staff of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Matsujing Taijiuro, who did not understand his true intentions, asked cautiously.
"Order, send a telegram back to His Excellency Yoshio Kamitsuki, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, and inform his sending army that he will quickly send rescue troops, and order them to hold on to the spot, and must not give up hope, fight with the enemy to the point of soldier and trench, and mobilize all troops on the front line at the same time, if the mobilization can be completed tonight, and Baotou has not yet fallen, immediately send troops to support, if Baotou has fallen to the enemy by then..."The commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, said slowly.
"Hey!" Understanding that Shunroku Hata really intended to use Baotou to garrison the Mongolian army and maximize the consumption of Soviet troops, the Chief of the General Staff, Matsujing Taikuro, replied loudly.
"At the same time, the telegram headquarters about the Soviets going south to reinforce the Yanhuanghong Party, asking whether the attack was still carried out according to the original plan, and whether it was necessary to revise the attack plan and time, understand?" The commander-in-chief of the Yanhuang Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, then ordered.
"Hey!!" Everyone in the room bowed at the same time and replied.
Therefore, from this moment on, the fate of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia, who were abandoned by the top brass of their own army, was already decided.
