Chapter 955: The Third Division Ambush
At night, the Soviet army attacked again, but was repelled by the Chinese as usual. This time, the attack and defense were not too much. The Soviet army lost hundreds of bodies, and one or two hundred casualties were also killed or killed in China. However, several Soviet cannons were destroyed by fortress artillery again, and the Soviet army carefully counted how many fortress artillery shells the Chinese had left. The Chinese were calculating the army's actions. Du Baosan asked Wang Yuan to take good care of the wounded and prepare better, while communicating with the rear headquarters in time, waiting for the army's actions.
Behind the Kizil Fortress, the army of the Chinese Western Region Military Region has taken action, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized, militia guarding every throat fortress, and the city has begun martial law, especially prisoners of war camps and refugee concentration camps, which are strictly managed. All unidentified people on the streets will be arrested, and many local Central Asians are slightly dissatisfied and sent to the prisoner of war camps. A tense atmosphere is filled with the rear, and the 200,000 reserve troops are eager to try, waiting for a battle.
In the north of Kazakhstan, the left-wing Soviet troops easily took over Ascana, the capital of Kazakhstan, without any obstruction. The local people hugged the Soviet soldiers in tears, which made the Soviet soldiers flattered.
It turned out that this place had been plundered by the Chinese and even a piece of steel for the Soviets, leaving only hundreds of thousands of victims with empty stomachs. The left-wing commander General Saragayev was stunned when he learned about this. These Chinese were too vicious and threw hundreds of thousands of victims of Central Asia to the Soviet Union. His troops were not stopped by the Chinese, but were stopped by hundreds of thousands of victims who were waiting for them. Chen Jiongming, the commander of the Dragon Army, also took the opportunity to let the soldiers advocate to the victims of Central Asia that the Soviet army was saving the victims of Astana. As a result, hundreds of thousands of victims of Central Asia became victims due to the looting and oppression of Chinese Defense Army soldiers, Central Asia rushed towards Astana one after another.
Using the victims to block the army, Chen Jiongming blocked the left-wing army of the Central Asian group of the Soviet Oriental Army hundreds of kilometers away without any effort, and couldn't help but feel proud.
At this time in Longcheng, the pair of Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan were also waiting for the attack news of their left and right wings, namely the Third Division and the Sixteenth Cavalry Division. If fighting can make the adrenal glands over-secretize, then waiting can also bring tension and depression to people. On the map, the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance planes can clearly analyze the strategic intentions of the Soviet army, and they were going to eat the Kizil Fortress and one of the sixteen Chinese legions here.
"I think this war is a bit... unnecessary." Chang Guosheng, the propaganda chief sitting beside him, complaining in a low voice.
Zhu Yongquan seemed to be sitting lazily on the lounge chair. In fact, he was extremely nervous inside and had not slept for two days and two nights. He smiled and said, "Brother Yuanjie. You still don't understand Xiushuai's meaning."
"How to solve it?" Chang Guoshengdao, "After the signing of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, the margin has been delineated. The additional 2.7 million square kilometers of land in our country has attracted the attention of the world. Why do we have to fight this battle in the Western Regions? Other ways can be used to hit the Soviet Union and Russia head-on, such as aiding the Japanese Siberian Legion and provoking the Soviet-Japan battle."
Zhu Yongquan smiled and said, "If you think the Soviet Union is really willing to call out the territory? If you think they really won't tear the treaty? If the Russians can keep their promises, that bitch can say that he is a virgin every day. This battle must be fought. And you must take the initiative to fight, beat the Russians, and be afraid of the Russians. Let the Russians remember that they can get what we give them, but they don't even think about what we don't give them - this is Xiushuai's original words."
Ren Yuanxing raised his head aside. The tense of many days made him look a little tired. He smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Jie. We wish Chief of Staff is really the worm in Xiushuai's belly. Xiushuai's thoughts were accurate by him."
Chang Guosheng sighed: "If you continue to fight like this, I always feel that it is not cost-effective to just teach them a lesson. This war defeated tens of millions of national defense budgets just to teach them a lesson."
Ren Yuanxing couldn't help but smile and said, "My propaganda is long, you're too stingy. It's only a few tens of millions to teach the Russians a lesson. If they get into power, they're afraid that it's not a problem that money can solve. I don't know how much territory, how much money, and how many lives China will take. The most important thing is that the country's finally rising trend may be broken in half. If you fight with a polar bear, you have to crippled him, so he won't dare to make trouble in our territory."
On the afternoon of May 17, Wang Jiejun's army, who had been ambushing and waiting for the Soviet army for a long time, contacted and fought with the Central Asian cluster attack troops led by the first political commissar of the Soviet army. Since China had long mastered the Soviet army's action plan, this army, which was ostensibly the lord, actually consisted of three divisions of 30,000 troops, including a cavalry unit of 12,000 people and an infantry unit of 18,000 people. Wang Jiejun carefully chose the ambush location. He chose in the desert. The soft terrain of the desert could effectively limit the opponent's cavalry unit's breakthrough. For this reason, Wang Jiejun carefully chose to wait for the Soviet army to get into the trap. After the Third Division seized the commanding heights, he surrounded and attacked Melinikov's troops. As a political commissar, Melinikov was qualified. As a commander, how could a civilian who only served as the Mining Supervision Committee command the army?
After the ambush began, except for more than a dozen bombers who continued to stay in the Kizil Fortress to assist the Huanglong Legion, the rest of the bombers were all transferred to the Ares Salt Moor Zone closer to the base camp to assist the Third Division, which also caused great trouble to the Soviet army. But in the afternoon, the Chinese bombers only threw two rounds of bombs and returned to the Longcheng base helplessly.
Unlike Bostshev's stubbornness, Melinikov did not command indiscriminately when he did not know how to command. At this time, he handed over the command to Aberleskiya, the commander of the 24th Division of the Iron Army of Simbirsk. This 44-year-old general was in the battlefield for a long time. He even served in the Russo-Japanese War at the age of 20. His twenty-four years of military career gave him the machine gun prediction ability and battlefield experience.
Abereschia made a quick judgment and used two cavalry divisions to break through on both left and right wings, leaving the infantry divisions to attract the battle team. The two cavalry divisions only need any unit to detour behind the Central Team, and will give the Central Team an annihilation blow.
The Kazakh Independent Cavalry Division and the Cossack Far East Cavalry Division of the Soviet Central Army immediately carried out the order without hesitation, and the two cavalry division commanders even led the team to set out in person.
In order to increase mobility, the cavalry troops even left all the baggage artillery and other items in place, the 24th Division of the Iron Army of Simbirsk and the two cavalry divisions left a total of 18,000 people to defend on the spot.
The Soviet front troops fought desperately to defend, the rear troops immediately dug out trenches, and the Soviet cavalry artillery also began to fight back. As a bait to attract the Chinese team, as the ace force of the Soviet army, the combat capability of the 24th Division of the Xinbirsk Iron Army should not be underestimated.
After the Soviet cavalry began to break through left and right, Wang Jiejun frowned. Although the enemy cavalry had a much smaller role in the desert, the cavalry was a mobile army after all, and it would be really bad if they were surrounded by them. However, he compared the forces of both sides. The situation was not optimistic. He underestimated the mobility and determination of the Soviet cavalry. This group of Soviet cavalry broke out a hole in China's defensive positions with Chinese bullets. Their cavalry finally broke out at the cost of two thousand deaths.
Wang Jiejun had to instantly determine whether to eat the besieged Soviet infantry first or the escaped cavalry. Seeing that it was too late and night was coming, it was very likely that he would lose himself if he pursued the enemy cavalry, so he decided to eat the besieged Soviet army first.
Wang Jiejun ordered the army to tighten his pockets, but ordered the Ninth Cavalry Brigade to pursue the Soviet cavalry and disturb the enemy cavalry so that they could not easily go back and attack our army, so that he could deal with the 24th Division of the Xinbirsk Iron Army of the Soviet army.
The Soviet Kazakh Independent Cavalry Division and the Cossack Far East Cavalry Division who broke through did not expect that the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Chinese National Welfare Army was so difficult. Hou Ruibing's troops followed the Soviet army's butts and used machine guns and carriages to constantly harass the Soviet cavalry. The Chinese were too tight, and this group of Chinese people and horses were skilled in fighting, and seemed to be the most elite cavalry in China. They held a knife in one hand and held a gun in the other hand. The gun was accurate and the sword was good. The horse was controlled with a pair of legs, and the man and horse were united, and they followed the butts of the Soviet Russian cavalry. The Soviet cavalry wanted to stop and turn around to fight several times, but once they stopped, they were either killed by the Chinese gun or cut off their heads by the Chinese cavalry passing by at high speed.
"Bastard, the Chinese cavalry is also a veteran." Varisi, commander of the Cossack Far East Cavalry Division, shouted, "It is absolutely impossible to be chased by them like this. We need to change it."
The Soviet cavalry also knew that in this way, they would become rabbits in front of the tiger and would be eaten up sooner or later. Valisi and the others immediately ordered to disperse, the Kazakh Independent Cavalry Division heading north, the Cossack Far East Cavalry Division heading south, one south and one north separated, and then circled around to prepare to deal with the Chinese infantry.
