Wait a little longer

Author: Jiangsu Zhaozi

Dai Chunfeng was still unwilling to give up when he heard Zuo Chong's inference that the war between Red Russia and Japan in Nomenkan would not last long, and asked with a little expectation.

"No, the two battles between the Japanese and Tsarist Russia in the Northeast and the Yellow Sea have long been aggravated by life and death. This time, they will definitely do their best to avenge a single arrow.

In addition, the Red and Russians had previously supported so many new weapons and equipment from the National Government, which led to the failure of the Japanese plan in Fengcheng, and the war should not end in a hurry."

Zuo Chong smiled bitterly and had no choice but to say what he thought on the road one by one, emphasizing that the key to the interests of the Red and Russians is Europe, not the East Asia region that is useless.

After hearing this, Lao Dai felt lost and sat on the chair and sighed disappointed. It was obvious that he was hit hard by this "bad" news, and he also didn't know how to explain it to someone.

Now the whole government is celebrating the war between Japan and Russia. When he exposed this matter at this time, he would not only not get any benefits, but he would also be said to have ulterior motives.

Oh, everyone thinks this is a good thing. Dai Chunfeng is smart and insists on pouring a basin of cold water. This behavior is to be light and to be afraid of the enemy, and to be heavy, it is to disturb the morale of the army.

Dai Chunfeng knew what it means to protect himself. He was in a dilemma for a while. He didn't know whether to report to the higher authorities. It was easy to offend people, but not to report. It was also his duty.

Zuo Chong seemed to see the other party's entanglement and whispered: "Teacher, the student thinks that no matter how long the Japanese and the Red and Russians fight, what they will look like, we have to do something.

As you said just now, there is a historical entanglement between them, and this is an opportunity. Can we do something from this aspect so that Japan and Russia can fight longer?"

He took the opportunity to put forward his ideas. If the Military Commission wants to fan the flames, he must obtain the consent of Dai Chunfeng or higher-level officials. After all, this is related to the overall strategy of the country.

When Dai Chunfeng heard what Zuo Chong said, he felt a move in his heart but did not immediately express his opinion, because international viewing was the thing that someone cares most. He thought about it carefully for a long time and shook his head.

"The Red Russians are very important to the national government. Currently, most of the heavy equipment of the Guo army is provided by the other party. If the other party is angered, there will be a big problem on the front line. Let's give up this matter for the time being.

Let’s wait and see. If there are signs of a short-term ceasefire in Japan and Russia, I will advise the Commissioner again. During this period, you urge various intelligence stations to pay close attention to the war.

The situation of Red and Russian is very special. We are beyond our reach. I don’t make any requests. However, we have arranged a lot of manpower for the Japanese. The unit-level troops must be mobilized."

Wait, wait and see again.

Then when will it take to wait until the Japanese and Red Russians reach an agreement, and there is no worries and transfer the Kwantung Army to the pass before taking action? It will be too late at that time.

Zuo Chong opened his mouth and finally said nothing. He saluted and said goodbye and left Dai Chunfeng's office. He knew that nothing he said now was useless and could only wait for the war to develop.

It was late May that we had arrived in late May, and we retreated from the Japanese search team to Mongolia. Half a month had passed, and the Japanese and Red and Russian sides were ready for another battle.

The Japanese gathered more than 1,000 people from the 64th Regiment of the 23rd Division, more than 200 people from the search team, 450 cavalrymen from the North District of the Pseudo-Mit Xing'an District, as well as a small number of aircraft and artillery.

Logically speaking, the Kwantung Army should not only arrange this amount of troops, but after the Battle of Zhanggufeng, the Japanese army believed that the Red and Russian troops that had been washed by the Qing Dynasty were a group of idiots and were vulnerable at all.

The Japanese obviously overestimated their strength and underestimated the fighting will of Red and Russians. The Japanese army always believed that the Red and Russian troops on the opposite side were still the same as Tsarist Russia during the Russo-Japanese War.

But in fact, even Tsarist Russia has caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, not to mention that the Red Russian troops they face this time are even more of an industrialized and faith-loving new army.

In addition to being equipped with a large number of fighter jets and artillery, the Red Russian Far Eastern troops also had many medium-sized combat vehicles and armored vehicles. The Japanese army was equipped with light and micro combat vehicles.

According to the intelligence collected by the Military Intelligence Bureau in the Northeast, the total number of Russian and Mongolian coalition forces after the last conflict reached 57,000, equipped with thousands of armored vehicles and more than 500 various artillery pieces.

In comparison, although the Japanese and puppet troops had a military advantage of more than 75,000 people, they only had more than 180 tanks and less than 500 artillery pieces, and there were only a dozen micro-chariots on the front line.

On the other hand, the Red and Russians were much more cautious. In addition to slowly gathering the elite forces of the Far East Military Region into Mongolia, they also asked the Mongolian Army's Seventh Cavalry Division to send a cavalry to the other side to suppress the Japanese activities.

In addition, the natural conditions on the battlefield are also beneficial to the Red and Russians. The eastern bank of the Halaha River controlled by the Japanese army is full of sand dunes, wind-silted piles and depressions, and weeds and shrubs are everywhere.

In some places with more undulating terrain, chariots, armored cars and livestock are difficult to pass, which invisibly makes the Japanese logistics transportation system, which is still in the form of mules and horses, miserable.

The west bank controlled by Red Russia is at least 50 meters higher than the river surface. Red Russian artillery deployed positions on these platforms, making full use of the commanding heights and violently bombarded the passing Japanese personnel.

The Japanese side could not see the situation of the Red Russian army on the platform at all, so they could only be beaten passively, forcing the Japanese to retreat the front line to avoid artillery attacks, which gave the Red Russian an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Judging from the local historical hydrological records, the Halaha River is about 30 to 40 meters wide, the water depth is about 2 meters, and the flow rate is about 1 meter per second. As long as the river crossing tools are available, it is not difficult for troops to cross the river.

However, the Japanese Kwantung Army was not stupid. In order to prevent the Red Russian army from sneaking across the river, some pseudo-mites cavalry were arranged in the vast war zone to monitor the movements of the Red Russian army on the other side.

Anyway, the people who died of pseudo-mites died in the accident. Japan doesn’t have to pay a penny, and at most one or two steel medals are issued to boost morale. No matter how you look at it, it’s a good deal that is stable and profitable.

Of course, Japan is not without its advantages. Most of the lakes on both sides of the Halaha River are saltwater lakes, but the Japanese army has the Holstin River as a water source for the troops to supply water, and the water source is sufficient.

The water source in Mongolia is very scarce. The Halaha River is at the center of the war and is inconvenient to withdraw water. Red and Russian water uses all the water wells, and the distance between the two wells even reaches 40 to 50 kilometers.

Moreover, the supply line of Red and Russian is about 750 kilometers long, while the supply line of the Kwantung Army is only 200 kilometers. The staff of the Kwantung Army judges others by themselves, and believes that when large corps fight, the length of the land corps station should generally not exceed 200 to 250 kilometers.

Therefore, these great clever men with the Army University graduation badge on their chests believe that the Red Russia exchanged fire in an area 750 kilometers away from the terminal of the railway line, and it is unlikely that it will be invested in a large amount of troops. To put it simply, it is my advantage.

But they didn't think about what the thousands of trucks in the Far East Army of the Red Russian Federation were used for. They can only say that vision determines their destiny. The last time the French in the European War was the Germans who won by trucks, let alone today more than 20 years later.

May 28.

When the first ray of sunlight rose on the Mongolian grassland, the 6th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army suddenly built a pontoon bridge on the Halaha River, then rushed across the river through the pontoon bridge and quickly approached the Japanese army.

The Japanese and puppet troops were divided into three fronts and launched counter-charges towards the Sixth Cavalry Division. The troops on both sides quickly fought into a group on the grassland. The Mongolian cavalry, who had been on horseback for many years, fought extremely fiercely.

Through precise volleys and excellent endurance of the Montes breed, they successfully blocked the Japanese counterattack on the east bank of the Halaha River, and waited for the Red Russian reinforcements after extremely fierce artillery fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the cavalry corps and armored vehicles of the 23rd Division decided to make a desperate move, and went deep into the rear of the Mongolian position to attack the Mongolian command center, and successfully succeeded.

Unfortunately, the Japanese commander did not command the troops to evacuate in time, but was surrounded by the Red Russian chariot troops who came to reinforce. As soon as they fought, the Kwantung Army tasted the power of the Red Russian army.

The Japanese armoured armored vehicles were not much thicker than iron cans, and were no match for the Red Russian chariot at all. They were quickly beaten into parts.

The Russian and Mongolian army only sent one Spitfire Tank Company and one armored vehicle battalion, which easily wiped out the Japanese fast troops. Only some of the Japanese cavalry broke through the encirclement and fled.

Under the attack of multiple Red and Russian troops, especially as more and more Red Russian chariots crossed the river, the Japanese and puppet troops were soon defeated, and the pseudo-mites cavalry troops scattered and the search team was wiped out.

The 64th Regiment of the 23rd Division successfully broke through, but the casualty rate reached 20%. From the perspective of Western military science, this unit was equivalent to losing its combat effectiveness.

Through the investigation of Fu Ling's team in Tokyo, it was found that the total Japanese and puppet troops in this battle were 2,500, and about 1,500 people actually participated in the battle, hundreds of people were killed, hundreds of people were injured, and more than ten people were missing.

Surprisingly, the Red Russia, which had an overall advantage, suffered a lot of casualties. Even the commander of the 6th Mongolian Cavalry Division and the commander of the Operations Department of the 9th Armored Brigade of the Red Russia were killed in battle.

After this battle, Japan and Red and Russians licked their wounds, and the situation in the Northeast fell into a mysterious silence. The government, which was originally waiting for both sides to lose money, was stunned.

Didn’t it mean that the two sides had a deep hatred? How could the war be so strong that the war had not escalated yet? Someone sent several telegrams to Mosk to test whether Red Russia had the intention to expand the scale of the conflict.

As a result, Mosk only replied with a very perfunctory call, not mentioning the Nomenkan conflict at all. He seemed very satisfied with the current situation and was not ready to completely turn against the Japanese.

Someone was disappointed and scolded the "weakness" of the Red Russians, and even said the words of the lack of a son and the plan. At this time, Dai Chunfeng jumped out in time and told Zuo Zhong's plan.

Someone who felt despised by the Red Russia immediately ordered the Military Control Commission to do everything possible to drag the Japanese attention to the Northeast, and it would be best to let the Red Russians die together with the Kwantung Army.

To be honest, this idea is a bit whimsical. Mosk and the big figures in Tokyo are not so stupid, but Dai Chunfeng still agreed confidently on the surface.

As soon as he returned to Luojiawan headquarters, he found Zuo Chong to inform someone of the order, emphasizing that the Military Affairs Bureau would complete this difficult task no matter what, and pushed the responsibility to the proud students.
