Chapter 685 Two Heroes (1)
(...When I realized that the Soviet Union might launch a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese, I immediately ordered Sun Liren, who had just arrived in Mongolia, to launch an attack on the Japanese; in fact, this was a "friendly" attack, aiming to alert the Japanese to the Soviet people's large-scale counterattack... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
"Remove all uncertain adjectives, delete all 'posses', 'or', 'maybe'! What I want is to let the people of the Soviet Union know that the Soviet Red Army will start a large counterattack tonight, and this counterattack is irresistible. This counterattack will directly erase Japan from the earth!" His tone was firm and stern, but Stalin's expression did not feel like he wanted to eat people when he gave the order. On the contrary, he felt very sure of winning the battle this time.
When Stalin handed back the speech he gave to the secretary at night, the general wearing a mask began to appear in his mind.
"...The Japanese created an unmanned isolation belt, and they thought that this would at least bring them a short period of peace; especially when they occupied absolute air supremacy, they would never expect that we would launch an attack, and it would be an attack with all our might at the beginning. This is the best time!" Zhukov, who was wearing a mask and threatened suicide eight days ago, finally appeared in front of the great leader under the supervision of the doctor.
If it weren't for the defeat too badly, if it weren't for the lack of appropriate candidates and intentional support for face, Zhukov would have been dismissed long ago; but the stubborn Stalin had always retained his position. Even though he had thought of shooting the defeated general of the Battle of Tulum when Zhukov could be discharged from the hospital.
But when Stalin decided to meet Zhukov, he changed all his emotions. He did not keep a distance from Zhukov as the doctor told him, but went directly to shake hands with Zhukov, who was wearing a mask, and hugged him, and told Zhukov that Tulun's defeat had nothing to do with the commander, but because the Japanese used the most despicable, inhumane and never used tactics in the world... Then Stalin spent half an hour listening to Zhukov's combat concept carefully.
"...Our army can be carried forward by tank vehicles, armored vehicles, and personnel carriers. Our cars can do careful epidemic prevention work to ensure that our combatants are not infected in a short period of time. Then we kill from the epidemic area... Yes, using night battles, launching an attack when the Japanese were completely unexpected. Once our tank troops drilled through the enemy's defense, the entire mechanized army passed through the gap and went forward bravely along the Far East Railway. How did the Japanese fight at that time?
We will fight back with a hundred times sharpness. Our troops don’t have to worry about their troops on the defense line, just block them behind them and die; if they want to cross the field and return to the rear, there will naturally be various viruses waiting for them. If they also come along the railway line, then we will not have to make any strategic mobilization to achieve the intention of concentrating them. In this battle, I will wipe out the 300,000 Japanese troops who were stationed on the Tulun front line..." Zhukov's pneumocophagy had actually been cured long ago. But his lungs were not
Changwei, even breathless, but he turned his pale face red and said his combat plan to Stalin in one breath: "My combat plan can be summarized into one word, attack! If you have to write a plan with enough words to report, then I will fill this plan with countless "attacks"! The Japanese did not have supplies. As long as we hit them and attacked along the railway line, destroying all the supplies along the way, these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops completely lost their survival strips.
As for their mechanized group, I am not afraid at all, because the Japanese troops were very mechanized; although they destroyed many of our tanks in the battle ahead, they could only use infantry guns to ambush. When they started fighting with us, those infantry gunners would only become targets for our tank soldiers... Please believe me, believe the Soviet Red Army, after summarizing various previous mistakes, we are fully confident that we will wipe out the main force of the invaders with one blow!"
After meeting Zhukov, all of Stalin's secretary had been busy for days: write a Red Square speech to the great leader!
"The epidemic created by the Japanese for us is not terrible! Am I back? The Japanese are timid. The Japanese think they succeeded, but they are already on the verge of defeat. Tonight, I will use tanks with you to crush the enemy into meat sauce!" Zhukov personally mobilized the tank leaders on the Tulun front line. The return of the commander who was once infected by the plague gave great encouragement to the Soviet officers and soldiers: So what if you get sick? Isn't the commander back? The pneumoplague is not scary, it can be cured easily!
Not only did the mechanized troops who had already known that their tanks had all undergone epidemic prevention measures, but even the garrison troops who were still highly alert to the virus and were nervous in their hearts suddenly seemed to have wiped out the haze in their hearts. The fear of the epidemic completely melted.
"Tonight's offensive units must attack with all their strength. They must not care about casualties, but must show their momentum and scale..." Sun Liren also mobilized on the Mongolian front at the same time. His troops had just arrived in Mongolia for four days, but after a short rest, they were immediately entrusted with important tasks: tonight's main attack!
Because the speed of the assembly of ** has always been a big problem, and Cao Xiaomin hopes that the troops that have been welcomed by the Mongolians after time are running out, the combat mission is handed over to Sun Liren's troops who have just arrived in Mongolia.
This is a completely unprepared battle, which does not conform to Cao Xiaomin's usual combat style, but Cao Xiaomin's military order has been issued: to attack the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia with all their strength, the Japanese army must clearly know that this is a large-scale attack of the general offensive level and strategic level. As for the results of the battle, there is no need to worry about it...
Don’t care about the results of the war! Sun Liren’s heart was beating when he received the order, but after half an hour he rushed to the map, he understood everything: this battle was definitely not for achieving any results, but to tell the Japanese that the general attack of the Sino-Soviet Army had begun!
Yes, this is Cao Xiaomin's move to start a storm. When Cao Xiaomin realized that the Soviet Union might launch a powerful counterattack against the Japanese army in the near future, the only thing he could think of "helping" the Japanese army was this move, which allowed the Chinese team to launch a strategic-level offensive against the Japanese army, but it was obvious that the Chinese team launched a hasty attack. Obviously, doing so should make the cunning Okamura Yasuji immediately realize that the Chinese team's side attack was echoing friendly forces, and the Soviets would launch a violent attack!
Sometimes the secret of the motivations of military operations on the battlefield is by no means something that the grassroots can understand. They only know how to kill the enemy bravely when facing the invaders, but who would know the meaning of every battle they fought?
"On the flat grassland, the overwhelming advantage of firepower represents the success or failure of the offense! I ordered the concentration of firepower of each unit, and it is necessary to ensure that each combat squad of the first three offensive echelons reaches the configuration of three light machine guns..." Sun Liren quickly refined the combat plan and detailed each combat detail.
Because Dai Anlan's mechanized infantry division did not participate in the first wave of attacks, the top vanguards of the entire attack still needed to carry out the same decisive attack as the domestic battlefield. Use human bodies to fight against tanks!
The favorable condition for the Chinese team was that the Japanese did not expect that the ** would use a force that only arrived at the front line for four days as the main force to launch an attack without simultaneous support from other troops, and it was a general attack from the beginning. The Japanese were still completely anesthetized at this moment, and the two armies were in peace. After their reconnaissance planes brought back to the Chinese tank troops in the evening without any news of any abnormal movement, the Japanese troops confronting the ** were ready to welcome another "Christmas Eve"...
Due to the lack of oil and the main battlefield was confronting the Soviet army, the number of Japanese tank troops was not large. Many tanks were actually used as mobile fortresses. After the deployment location was arranged, these tanks were parked. A large number of tanks even the oil in the fuel tank was drained, and they could not maneuver in unprepared emergencies. The plains of the grassland could not accommodate more castles and other firepower points. From a distance, the scouts could clearly know the Japanese's post-location arrangements, but the Japanese who were used to bathing in peace were unaware of the arrival of battle.
A gentle "opening" opened the curtain of the attack. Those veterans who had fought desperately with the Japanese army on the battlefield in the Shanghai, all went down the line with serious injuries and had to fully recover their combat effectiveness after a long period of recuperation and training (all officers and soldiers of the tax police regiment who were not injured were all transferred away by Chiang Kai-shek after the battle, and the backbone of Sun Liren's reorganized troops were restored former tax police regiment wounded) all had enough combat experience!
It's been too long, waiting too long! When the strong smell of blood poured into the noses of these veterans who dreamed of fighting to the death with the invaders, all the fighting spirit of the veterans was ignited. Everyone regarded the Japanese baby soldiers in front of them as the old Japanese who landed in Hangzhou Bay and slaughtered everywhere. They made a lot of ruthless moves. Every lazy Japanese sentry returned to the west as soon as they were attacked. (In history, Sun Liren's troops had an amazing record of combat against Japan. Another important reason was that his backbone of the soldiers was different from many troops brought by the arrested husband. This army had a culture and a strong national consciousness, and they were all veterans who had thought carefully during the injury and recuperation period and finally returned to the battlefield voluntarily.)
"Bang bang bang!" The three consecutive green signal bombs were spread across the more than 400 kilometers of fronts confronting between the Chinese and Japanese armies at almost the same time. The desire for fighting that had been suppressed for three years instantly erupted. Amid the shouts of thunderous shouts, the **eith the main attacking advance teams launched a crazy attack on the Japanese! (To be continued) rq!~!
