Chapter 187: Dungeon Battle of Nomenkan (End)
At half past five o'clock in the morning of the 24th, the eastern sky slowly turned white, and the fierce battle in the Amugulang area came to an end.
The 35th Division, which had absolute superiority in strength and equipment, successfully withstood the onslaught of the Japanese 7th Division and surrounded the stubbornly resisting 23rd Division in a narrow area of less than 20 square kilometers, and more than 10,000 people of the 140th Regiment, 141st Regiment, 142nd Regiment, and three mechanized regiments around the encirclement were destroying the last remnants of the enemy.
Facing the last moment, the Japanese soldiers of the 23rd Division, who were brainwashed by militarism, burst out like wounded and trapped beasts, and the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground with grenades or bombs and pretending to be dead, and when tanks, armored vehicles or soldiers of the 35th Division passed by them, they would detonate, and they would pull a few pads on their backs before they died.
The Japanese soldiers who had not been injured for the time being resisted the attack of the 35th Division desperately resisted the attack of the 35th Division under various covers, and the 35th Division had to pay a greater price for every step forward, and so far the three regiments of the 35th Division involved in the attack had destroyed 47 tanks, 29 BA-10 armored vehicles, and more than 3,000 casualties among the soldiers.
"Order to stop the attack temporarily, surround the Japanese in the encirclement, and then bombard me with shelling, I can't even recognize the bombardment!"
The huge loss made Ouyang Yu give the order to kill, and she didn't believe that the Japanese, who were also flesh and blood, could block the steel shells.
"Boom, boom...... Boom, boom, boom......!"
The 76th Artillery, the 122nd Artillery, the 152nd Artillery, and the 203rd Cannon, and more than 200 cannons of various calibers roared in unison, firing dense shells at the small area where the 23rd Division was located.
At half past six in the morning, the sky was already dark, and the deafening artillery sound of the battlefield had stopped. The soldiers of the 35th Division walked on the smoky land with rifles in hand, carefully searching the battlefield.
"There's a living one here!"
A system soldier spotted a Japanese soldier whose right hand had been blown off and was dying, and the system soldier cautiously walked over, first checked the area around the Japanese soldier for explosives, and after confirming that there was no danger, he raised the Mosin Nagant rifle with a bayonet in his hand.
"Poof!"
The sharp bayonet pierced the heart of the Japanese soldier, and the severely injured Japanese soldier let out several insignificant screams from his throat and then completely lost his breath. The system soldier stepped on the body of the dead Japanese soldier, pulled out his bayonet as if nothing had happened, and continued to search the battlefield.
After a night of fighting, Ouyang Yu's 35th Division completely annihilated the 23rd Division of the Japanese army, and was very lucky to capture a wing flag that had not yet had time to burn, such as the treasure Ouyang Yu immediately sent this wing flag to Zhukov, Zhukov sent this special trophy to Moscow, Comrade Stalin was very happy, the whole army rewarded Zhukov and Ouyang Yu, and returned the wing flag to Ouyang Yu as a reward.
"Phew!"
"Komatsubara is incompetent, and Sonobe and Ichiro are equally incompetent!"
Senior General Kenkichi Ueda at the Kwantung Army Command was furious. The frightened staff officers around him did not dare to take a breath, and the chief of staff, Isoya Ryosuke, persuaded: "It's useless to lose your temper so far, Komatsuba has already apologized, Kazuichiro Sonobe and his Seventh Division have been defeated and retreated to the area of Hailar, and the 35th Division of the Soviet Army immediately followed up and tried to destroy the 7th Division again, and Sonobe has already sent a telegram asking for help, hoping that Your Excellency the Commander can send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise the 7th Division can only retreat again." β
"He dare!" the innocent table was pounded again. Kenkichi Ueda ordered loudly: "Tell Kazuichiro Sonobe that his Seventh Division must not take another step back. Immediately telegraphed the 8th and 23rd Border Guards, the 2nd Division, and the 4th Division to Hailar for reinforcements!"
After the battle meeting, Kenkichi Ueda left Ryosuke Isoya behind, "Isoya-kun, have you found the person I asked you to find?"
"Yes, but your Excellency, have you really decided to do this? β
Kenkichi Ueda dragged a lame leg and slowly walked in front of Ryosuke Isoya. patted him on the shoulder and said: "I am sixty-four and a half years old this year, and I will not stay long in the position of commander of the Kwantung Army, at most half a year I will retire and transfer to the reserves. My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, okay, you don't have to say anything more, go and bring people in. β
"Yes. β
Not long after Ryosuke Isoya left, he walked in with a tall white man.
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Pyotr Petrovich Petrobsky. The Russian name of this tall white man made Isoya's tongue roll a little, "Mr. Petrogobsky was once a major in the Soviet army, he was almost shot because of the Great Purge, and he has been wandering in Mukden since he escaped, and his subordinates have more than a dozen White Russians who do not want to be ruled by Stalin, all of them are former Tsarist Russia or former Soviet soldiers, and they have a clear understanding of the internal rules of the Soviet army, and they are the best candidates to complete the plan of His Excellency the Commander." β
"Your Excellency, General, hello. β
Petrogobsky greeted Kenkichi Ueda in broken Chinese, he did not speak Japanese, and Kenkichi Ueda did not understand Russian, so he had to say hello in Chinese, which both sides understood a little.
Ueda Kenkichi nodded slightly arrogantly, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Petrogobsky, I guess you already know the plan I want you to execute, right?"
Petrogobsky nodded in understanding.
"As long as you complete my plan, you and your people can obtain the nationality of our Great Japanese Empire, and there is a gentle and beautiful Japanese girl as a wife, and you yourself can also get a reward of ten kilograms of gold, I hope you can successfully complete the task and return victoriously, and then you can take your Japanese wife and live and work in peace and contentment in the Empire." β
After listening to the big pie that Kenkichi Ueda painted for himself, Pyotrgobsky said excitedly in Russian: "Your Excellency General. Please wait for my good news!"
The conversation between the two was translated by an interpreter, and Ueda Kenkichi was satisfied with the other party's performance, and after a few more words, he ended the conversation.
At the concealed command post of the 35th Division, Zhukov, who was inspecting the front line, broke into Ouyang Yu's command post without warning anyone in advance, and then was so frightened that he pulled out his good-looking gun. The guards beside him also raised their rifles nervously.
"Comrade Zhukov, why are you here?" Ouyang Yu, who was studying the map, saluted in surprise.
With a strange expression, Zhukov pointed his pistol at the few people standing beside Ouyang Yu and asked, "Comrade Ivanova, don't you want to introduce these people?"
Ouyang Yu turned his head to look, and then he understood why Zhukov and his guards were so nervous, this was because there were several Japanese soldiers standing beside her, all of whom were wearing Japanese officer uniforms and carrying southern pistols on their waists.
"Comrade Zhukov, let me introduce you, this is Captain Nagumo, and this is Ensign Miyamoto. This is Second Lieutenant Kobayakawa and this is Second Lieutenant Tomita, both proletarian fighters and members of the Japanese Communist Party, who have come all the way to help our army, and I am discussing with them how to assault the headquarters of the Seventh Division. β
Zhukov took back his pistol suspiciously, and his guards also put away their rifles, "You want to use their Japanese identity to raid the headquarters of the 7th Division and disrupt the command of the 7th Division?"
Ouyang Yu replied, "Yes." I didn't report to you because I was still in the research stage, so since you are here today, it is better to listen to it and give us some advice. β
"Okay. Zhukov came interested and joined the discussion.
That night, a Japanese squad dressed in tattered uniforms covered in blood. Quietly leaving the position of the 35th Division, this Japanese squad went all the way north to detour and blended into the Japanese position in Hailar, and on the same night, a Soviet army of more than 100 people also left the position of the 7th Division, detoured to the south and drilled into the 35th position under the cover of night.
As soon as dawn was the next day, the battle in Hailar entered a white heat, Ouyang Yu's air force and the Japanese army aviation. Ouyang Yu's air force had a numerical advantage, while the Japanese army had the performance advantage of fighters, and the pilots of both sides fought desperately for their own honor, and from time to time some fighters fell to the ground with black smoke.
While there was a fierce battle in the air, the ground was not calm. Ouyang Yu mobilized all the heavy artillery to continuously bombard the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Hailar City, especially the powerful B-4 howitzers, and all people and animals were killed within a radius of 100 meters, which caused a great psychological deterrent to the Japanese soldiers of the 7th Division, and they prayed that the non-existent Amaterasu would bless them from being hit by the shells fired by the B-4 howitzers.
After the whole day's fighting, Ouyang Yu did not advance an inch, and the Japanese army still firmly held the position on the periphery of Hailar, and the air battle between the two sides did not distinguish the winner and drew the battle.
As night fell, the two sides who had been fighting fiercely for a day were licking their wounds and preparing to fight again tomorrow, the Japanese soldier squad that had mixed into Hailar came out of hiding, and Captain Nagumo, who led the team, took his soldiers to swagger on the streets of the city, because of the war, the streets were full of Japanese soldiers coming and going, some were going to change guards, some were pulling a cart of wounded soldiers, and some were driving trucks to transport ammunition to the front line, Captain Nagumo and his party were not taken seriously at all, and no one would come to check their documents, so they easily approached the headquarters of the Seventh Divisionγ
The headquarters of the 7th Division was heavily guarded, and no Japanese soldiers could enter without permission, and there was almost no possibility of wanting to blend in, so Captain Nagumo and others chose to attack by force.
Take out the disassembled Suomi submachine gun from the backpack and assemble it, if you want to attack the well-guarded command headquarters, such a sharp weapon is indispensable, Ouyang Yu prepared a large number of weapons for Captain Nanyun and others, all of which were packed in their backpacks, and several of the Japanese soldiers also took out quadruple optical sights from their backpacks and installed them on the Type 38 rifle in their hands, the accuracy of the Type 38 rifle is very good, and it can be used as a temporary cameo sniper rifle.
Almost at the same time, near the command post of the 35th Division, Petrogobsky and his subordinates were also ready for assassination, one of Petrogobsky's subordinates was very good at marksmanship, this subordinate was now lying in the grass more than 200 meters away from the command post, the rifle in his hand was aimed at the exit of the command post motionlessly, as long as Ouyang Yu appeared, it would be difficult to escape his sniping.
"Are you all ready?"
"Ready!" ΓN.
Captain Nagumo glanced at his team members one by one, "Then for the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, let's fight bravely and kill the enemy!"
Captain Nagumo and his team rushed out of hiding, and before the guards at the command could figure out what was going on, two grenades were thrown over.
"Boom, boom!" Several Japanese soldiers were blown away.
"Leave the miscellaneous soldiers alone, just rush in!"
Captain Nagumo rushed to the front first, the Suomi submachine gun in his hand swept at the sight of people, and the Type 38 rifle in the hands of the Japanese soldiers who were suddenly attacked was not Suomy's opponent at all at a very close distance, and Captain Nagumo and they rushed into the headquarters of the Seventh Division quite smoothly.
The headquarters of the 7th Division was a spacious two-story house, and Kazuichiro Sonobe was discussing the next battle with the chief of staff and others when he heard the gunshots, and when Captain Nagumo and the others broke into the office, they didn't realize what was happening.
"Nakajima-kun, you go and see why there is an explosion and such a fierce gunshot. β
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
As soon as the staff officer named Nakajima reached the door of the office, the door was kicked open from the outside, and two grenades were thrown in.
"Boom! boom!"
After two explosions, including Sonobe and Ichiro, everyone in the office fell in a pool of blood, Captain Nagumo rushed into the office with a Suomi submachine gun, he didn't care whether the person who fell to the ground was dead or alive, he shot a few shots directly to the head, confirmed that the target was dead and left the office non-stop, taking advantage of the chaos Captain Nagumo and his team successfully escaped into the city, mixed with the many Japanese troops and no one could find them.
Ouyang Yu was worried about the success or failure of Captain Nanyun's actions, and he felt bored in the command post, so he had the idea of going outside, and it should be very comfortable to bask in the sun if the weather is good today.
As soon as Ouyang Yu walked out of the command post, she felt a chill, and a gunshot rang out in the distance, she felt that her body was hit by something, and then there was a sharp pain in her chest, and her eyes were black, and she didn't know anything. (To be continued.) )
