At the First Army Group Headquarters in Ulan-Ude, Liu Yecheng, who had rushed to the war room, saw Chief of Staff Lu Gang already waiting in the war room.
Lu Gang said: "Old man, the Soviets just launched an attack in front of us to open a gap. Our troops were caught off guard and it was very difficult."
Liu Yecheng nodded: "Well, have you figured out the size and number of the Soviet troops on the opposite side?"
"It was found out that it was the Soviet 17th Tank Division, the 367th Infantry Division and the 68th Infantry Division. They used regiments as units and under the cover of tanks, they launched a group attack on our position before dawn.
Charge, and four infantry divisions launched a feint attack on the flanks, and now our troops are counterattacking."
Liu Yecheng smiled softly: "Humph, I think the Soviets originally wanted to teach us a lesson through this attack, but they only focused on the tactical role. Even if they broke into our position and disrupted our deployment, they would not
Strategically speaking, they still can’t get any advantage.”
"The enemy" Lu Gang also nodded and said, "Surrounded by our superior strength of more than one million troops, even if they took some advantage, they would still suffer in the end. The Soviet army clearly had three to four hundred thousand troops, but they were reluctant to do so.
They came in all at once, but they only dared to let in three divisions at once. Such a petty and petty person is not good enough."
"That's right, if they released all their troops at once to launch an attack, maybe I would still think highly of them, but there are only 30,000 to 40,000 people and it will not help the overall situation of the front." Liu Yecheng shook his head and suddenly asked a question in his heart.
Said: "Which unit is in front now?"
Lu Gang said: "It's Zeng Li'an's 103rd Division."
"The 103rd Division" Liu Yecheng showed a smile: "Although this infantry division has followed the president's old foundation, although it is not well-known, I believe that their combat effectiveness is still very strong. It depends on whether they can survive this...
It happened. The weather is almost bright now, so we ordered the plane to take off immediately to support them."
"Kill" Zhang Danian thrust the bayonet into a Soviet soldier who had just exposed his upper body in front of the trench. The sharp bayonet head penetrated the Soviet soldier's chest, making a dull cracking sound. Zhang Danian pressed harder.
Withdrawing the bayonet, the blood of the Soviet soldier on the opposite side spurted out along the blood groove that had been stabbed. The Soviet soldier made a series of "ho ho" sounds in his throat, and his blue eyes instantly turned red.
Gray as a dead fish, he slowly fell to the ground with his hands on his chest.
He quickly took advantage of this moment to take out a ten-round magazine from the leather box on his belt, inserted it into the receiver, and pulled the bolt.
A crisp "click" sound indicates that the rifle is ready to fire.
At this time, three more Soviet soldiers carrying Mosingana rifles rushed in from the right. When Zhang Danian saw it, he didn't even think about raising the gun before he hit him, "Bang, bang, bang!"
As the gunfire rang out, the three Soviet soldiers slowly fell to the ground. At this time, more than a hundred Soviet soldiers had burst into the position, and there were soldiers fighting hand-to-hand everywhere.
"What's going on? Why doesn't the machine gun fire?" shouted the angry company commander Zhao Biao.
"Sir, we have run out of spare barrels." The machine gunner said helplessly. Next to him were four red-hot spare barrels.
Zhao Biao gritted his teeth, fired the last magazine from Suomi in his hand, pulled out the m1911 pistol from his waist, and shouted: "Damn you bastard, prepare grenades"
"Boom boom boom"
When a series of grenades exploded in front of the position, Zhao Biao and the two machine gunners also raised their rifles and joined in the melee.
"Bang, Dang", a series of heart-wrenching metal collisions continued to sound on the battlefield. When two groups of soldiers wearing gray military uniforms and green military uniforms marched on this wilderness with the strongest belief and confidence to win,
Everything seemed so savage and cruel when the collision was made.
I have to say that in this battle that tested the will and courage of the soldiers, in this battle where casualties were almost one to one, the performance of both sides was up to standard.
It's just that I don't know when, the Soviet tanks have retreated to the front of the position, facing the numerous soldiers from both sides who have been mixed together. At this time, they did not dare to shoot, but coldly observed the situation on the battlefield.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
While the two sides were competing for will and combat effectiveness in ancient and barbaric ways, a series of roars came from the rear of the Chinese army.
A row of fireballs appeared in the dense formation of the Soviet Russian army, and then the second row, third row, and the Wehrmacht artillery finally began their blocking fire.
From 80mm mortars to 155mm howitzers, the regimental artillery poured hundreds of kilograms of high explosives and more steel fragments into the Soviet infantry in just ten seconds.
At the same time, huge fireballs shot up in the offensive formation of the Soviet tanks. Several T34s rushing at the front were knocked to the ground. Then what everyone saw was the brilliant explosion of ammunition.
spark.
The divisional artillery regiment finally got rid of the entanglement of Soviet artillery fire and began to pour ammunition in front of the position. More and more fireballs lit up in front of the position, and at the same time, more and more tanks were blasted into the sky.
Major General Mazilov, commander of the 17th Tank Division, saw from the tank that the infantry in front had become entangled, and his tanks could no longer play an assault role.
Cursing secretly, Mazilov took out a 76.2mm high-explosive bomb from his side and loaded it into the chamber. Then he put his eyes on the turret periscope. He looked carefully through the narrow reflector.
He was observing the slowly approaching Chinese Army position. However, he unfortunately discovered that in such a dense crowd, if he wanted to eliminate a Chinese Defense Force soldier on the opposite side, he would have to be prepared to lose two Soviet soldiers.
The artillery fire of the Chinese army has become more and more intensive. Countless large and small artillery shells with colorful trails passed through the short distance of three to four hundred meters between the two sides and smashed into the Soviet front-line tanks.
Now the Chinese army's position seemed to have turned into an exploding fireworks storehouse. Various sounds, flames and gorgeous light surrounded Mazilov like a tide. At this time, a bright light flashed, Mazilov
Major General Fu was a little surprised to find that the sky had begun to light up. This was not good news for the Soviet army, because it meant that the Chinese army's planes were coming.
There was already a faint "buzzing" sound in the sky.
"Everyone, retreat quickly." This is the most helpless order Major General Mazilov thinks he has ever issued in his life.
