Chapter 473: Bloody Battle of Ulaanbaatar (II) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )

The battle started at 3:30 a.m. on time, and the 8th Infantry Division of the Far Eastern Front was stationed in the northern position of Ulaanbaatar, which was one of the only few mountain divisions in the Soviet Union, and its combat effectiveness was not bad among all the Soviet troops, although it could not be said to be the strongest, but it could also rank in the top 50, so Zhukov was still very relieved to transfer this division to defend the northern position.

Garrisoned in the western position are the 127th and 129th Divisions of the Soviet Mechanized Infantry, compared with the Eighth Division stationed in the north, these two divisions are a lot of rubbish, the combined strength of the two divisions is only more than 18,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are also very poor, and more importantly, these two divisions were heavily damaged by the Japanese 23rd Division in the Battle of Nomenkan last year, and they have not yet recovered their combat effectiveness. Some time ago, the Soviet Defense Committee was even preparing to dismantle these two divisions and the other four dissatisfied infantry divisions under the jurisdiction of the Far Eastern Military District, if it had not been for the sudden outbreak of the Sino-Soviet war, these two divisions would probably have been eliminated from the battle sequence of the Soviet Red Army.

At half past three o'clock in the morning it was the time when the people were drowsy, because the fighting for several days had been fought in the eastern and southern positions, and the northwest two sides had not been attacked because the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the defenders in these two directions were very lax.

Moreover, the focus of the Soviet army's defense was on the forward position, because even if Chen Feng's troops attacked in the northwest and two directions, they could only attack from a relatively gentle slope, and as for the cliff behind, the Soviet army did not care at all. When arranging defensive positions, the Soviet division command specially sent people to look at the terrain of the cliffs behind. It was concluded that where the conditions for climbing were not available at all, and where to attack was simply whimsical.

However, where the Soviets thought it impossible to attack, hundreds of heavily armed Chinese soldiers quietly reached the cliffs in the northwest directions.

Under the command of a seemingly officer, several soldiers crossed the crowd and quickly assembled several pairs of crossbows with hooks and arrows attached to ropes, and soon several ropes leading to the top of the hill were secured. Then several sturdy figures quickly came under the rope and began to climb up the rope.

Half an hour later. More than 500 special combat personnel in the northern position and 300 special combat personnel in the western position are all in place. Zhou Tiedan, who was in charge of commanding the operation, immediately ordered all special operations groups to act according to the original plan.

I saw that hundreds of special combat personnel were quickly divided into several groups and went to various directions, while Zhou Tiedan led a special combat team towards the division headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Soviet Army. The Soviets were extremely lax in their defenses, except for the ammunition depot, which was guarded by soldiers all night. Everywhere else it was pitch black. There is no human figure in sight. The most incredible thing for Zhou Tiedan was that the Soviet army did not arrange a secret outpost. Along the way, they encountered only two patrols of 10 men, but they were easily killed.

Soon. Zhou Tiedan and others touched the division headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Soviet Army, and I have to say that Zhou Tiedan and others were indeed very lucky, when they arrived here, the meeting of middle and senior officers of the Eighth Division had just ended, and all the officers were preparing to leave the division headquarters. Zhou Tiedan immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the special operations team around him to attack.

"Bang" "Bang"

The snipers quickly took position, then fired freely, and a dozen machine gunners near the 8th Soviet Division were quickly taken out. At the same time, more than 60 special combat personnel who followed Zhou Tiedan also opened fire at the same time, and the guard platoon guarding the headquarters of the Eighth Division did not have any chance to fight back at all, so it was killed by Zhou Tiedan and others.

In the next minute, Zhou Tiedan took the lead in rushing into the headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Soviet Army, killing several Soviet officers who wanted to resist in a row, and quickly controlled the headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Soviet Army, including the commander of the Eighth Division, the political commissar, the chief of staff, and the officers at the battalion and regimental level all became prisoners.

By this time, the soldiers of the 8th Division had already discovered that someone was sneaking up, and all the soldiers quickly ran out of the barracks, ready to join the battle, however, when they stepped out of the barracks, it was also the time when death came. Chen Feng's special combat team had already set up traps at the gates of all the barracks where the Soviet troops were resting or where they had to pass.

For a time, the entire northern position was constantly exploding, and the flames were soaring into the sky. Zhou Tiedan saw that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered the special combat team to return the same way, while he escorted these high-ranking prisoners to retreat first, and after all the special combat personnel withdrew from the battle, Zhou Tiedan immediately ordered the signalmen around him to immediately send a signal to the former enemy's general headquarters, and soon a bright red signal flare quickly rose into the air.

The general command of the former enemy, which received the signal, immediately telephoned the forward positions that were ready to attack and ordered them to immediately act according to the original plan.

"Boom Boom"

Hundreds of large-caliber guns arranged in the southeast and southeast directions simultaneously adjusted their firing at Zhuyuan, facing the west of the Soviet garrison. The northern position was bombarded. At the same time as the artillery launched the shelling, the infantry also began to move in two directions to the northwest.

Because the two division-level headquarters arranged in the northwest and the two division-level headquarters in the northwest were all terminated, and the arsenals in the western position were also destroyed by the special combat troops, the attack was surprisingly smooth, and in less than an hour, Chen Feng's headquarters wiped out all the Soviet troops in these two directions, killed and captured more than 20,000 Soviet troops, and all the rest fled into the city of Ulaanbaatar. Ma Cao and the others were unforgiving, and regardless of whether they eliminated the remnants of the enemy, they commanded the troops to attack Ulaanbaatar.

When the news of Chen Feng's invasion of Ulaanbaatar came, the joint headquarters of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in the city was shocked, and Zhukov immediately mobilized a large army to reinforce the northwest two directions, trying to defeat the Chinese who had invaded the city. The army drove out of the city.

However, tonight in China. The army seemed to have gone crazy, no matter how many Soviet-Mongolian coalition troops came, they were quickly defeated, and the firepower of Chen Feng's unit far exceeded the estimation of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army, and the power of AK assault rifles in urban street battles was highlighted, and the Soviet-Mongolian coalition troops with ordinary rifles were beaten into a sieve before they could get ready for shooting.

What made Zhukov most angry was that at the same time that Chen Feng's troops invaded the city, there were many Mongolian People's Army uprisings in Ulaanbaatar, and the rebels even took control of the Ulaanbaatar radio station. In a radio speech at the time of the roar of artillery, Dorji told all the Mongols that Mongolia had always been the Mongolia of China, since the time of the great Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. The division of the Mongols was the result of the Soviet Union's shameless interference in China's internal affairs, and he called on all the Mongolian people's army and Mongolian nationals to rise up against the Soviet invasion.

This Battle. Dolgi Zhukov did not know this person, but Choibalsan, who is now the supreme leader of Mongolia and the supreme commander of the army, is not a stranger at all. This Batel has always been a staunch opponent of Mongolian independence, and he has tens of thousands of followers behind him.

Batyr and his supporters have always been the political enemies of the Great Hural, and the two sides have had many confrontations over the military, domestic affairs, and diplomacy of Mongolia. Unexpectedly, at this time, this guy actually instigated the army to mutiny, which made Choi Bashan and others extremely angry.

The effect of Battle's radio speech was obvious, he himself was a well-known politician in Mongolia, and his supporters were not as many as Choibalsan, but they were also numerous. Moreover, Mongolia has only been independent for more than a decade, and the country's ideology has not yet been completely unified, and there are not many people who support independence.

Soon several more armies mutinied, and the defenses of the entire Ulaanbaatar were full of holes, tens of thousands of Chinese . The army swarmed in, and the Soviet-Mongolian army was defeated and retreated.

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the second day, more than half of the important departments in the city, including the radio station and the railway station, were controlled by Chen Feng's department, and the east gate and the south gate were also lost one after another. The positions in the eastern and southern parts that the Soviet army had painstakingly managed were in danger of being flanked by Chen Feng's front and back, and in desperation, Zhukov had no choice but to order the defenders in these two directions to retreat immediately.

After the retreat of the Soviet-Mongolian forces, the rest of Chen Feng's troops immediately marched towards Ulaanbaatar, and by 11 o'clock in the morning, more than half of the urban area of Ulaanbaatar had been occupied by Chen Feng's troops. At twelve o'clock, Zhukov issued an order for the whole army to withdraw from Ulaanbaatar, and 70,000 Soviet-Mongolian troops, including more than 10,000 Mongolian people's troops, urgently withdrew from Ulaanbaatar, set up camp in Dagula Town, north of Ulaanbaatar, and built fortifications to prevent Chen Feng's troops from continuing the offensive.

After the capture of Ulaanbaatar, with the assistance of the rebel leader Batel, Chen Feng's troops quickly pacified Ulaanbaatar and cleared the remnants of the Soviet-Mongolian army in the city.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of July 7, 1940, Chen Feng's headquarters held a grand entrance ceremony in Ulaanbaatar.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhukov sent a representative to the Soviet government to request negotiations, hoping that the two sides could hold peace talks and stop the fighting. Chen Feng responded quickly, welcoming dialogue with the Soviet government on an equal footing, and during the negotiations he assured that his troops would not take the initiative to attack the Soviet-Mongolian army.

On the same day, the Central Daily of the Nationalist Government, the Xinhua Daily, the Baobao, and Ta Kung Pao controlled by the Yan'an side, the Times in the United Kingdom, the New York Times and the Washington Post in the United States, as well as the Saibei Daily and the Saibei Economic Daily, all rushed to report the news in the form of front-page headlines. This is the last hundred years in China. With the army winning its first victory in a foreign war, and against the Soviet Union, a great power in the world, Chen Feng, a Chinese warlord, once again created a miracle in military history.
