The sky in Mongolia is extremely clean and broad. At this time, you should be able to see cattle and sheep grazing everywhere on the grasslands in early summer. However, at this time, there are no herders grazing in Nomenkan. There are only a group of Mongolian cavalry gathered in a camp.
From time to time you can see some cavalry going out on patrol.
This is the 6th Mongolian Cavalry Division, the division commander Sharibu. He grew up on horseback and is still unfamiliar with technology. Therefore, when he looked at the Soviet radio soldiers sending reports, he was still full of curiosity and fear. In order to better control
Mongolia and the Soviet Union dispatched instructors and technical personnel to many technical branches of the Mongolian army for guidance and monitoring.
"The 57th Group Army called. They are preparing to send troops. Let us hold on until July 1, and they will send the air force to help us fight." The communications soldier said to Sarib in Russian.
Sharibu was originally the leader of a tribe. In order to trade with merchants, Sharibu was familiar with both Chinese and Russian, and even spoke a few words in Japanese.
"Very well, tell the 57th Group Army that we are holding fast at the foot of Hamar Mountain. Please come to support us as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, Sharibu smiled at several Mongolian officers next to him and said, "Now, with the support of the 57th Group Army, we can
There will definitely be no problem."
An officer laughed and said, "That's right, the conspiracy of Japanese imperialism will definitely not succeed, but we still have to defend for another week, and the Japanese army will definitely take the opportunity to attack desperately."
Sharibu said indifferently, "Now our two armies are facing each other across the river. No matter who strikes first, they will be easily attacked by half-crossers. Moreover, Japan has not declared war on us. I think this time it is just a relatively big war."
It's just friction. In the end, it is likely to turn into negotiations to solve the problem. Whoever actually controls more places will take advantage. In this way, our three groups will be separated. One group will go to Bayinchagan Mountain on the left, and the other group will go to Bayinchagan Mountain on the left.
On the right side of Sumubulinchagan Lake, another battalion will be sent to the Guogur Aobao highland, and the remaining people will stay here and try to ensure that no place is encroached by the Japanese army."
"Aren't our troops too spread out in this way? We don't have many troops to begin with," someone said worriedly.
"Don't worry, our cavalry comes and goes like the wind. When the Japanese army comes, we can't defeat it. As long as we can hold on, that's it." Sharibu said confidently.
——Beiping
When the conflict broke out in Mongolia when King Higashikata Minuhiko came to Mongolia, and the troops stationed in Mongolia might have to reduce the number of troops participating in the great sweep of North China, he simply couldn't help but laugh.
He said to Chief of Staff Yamashita Tofumi, "The time to deploy troops to deal with the Soviet Union is also very good. Our mopping up troops were not enough in the first place, and now they have been reduced. I am really worried that all the Eighth Route Army will go to Suiyuan in the end."
"
Yamashita Fengfumi took a briefing and said, "Commander, you can rest assured. Because of this conflict, the Kwantung Army is preparing to add additional troops to Mongolia, Suiyuan, Chahar and other places, and a large number of aviation forces will also join the battle.
If the Eighth Route Army rushes into Suiyuan, it will probably be the best outcome."
"Oh? Let me see, well... the Kwantung Army is really cautious. Is the Soviet army really so scary? I have also seen the soldiers of Tsarist Russia in Europe, haha... and the warriors of the empire.
They are just a bunch of farmers compared to them." King Higashino Higashi nomonuhiko said, stroking his beard and saying, "So with so many troops supporting us, how will the battle situation be?"
"The battle report from the aviation force just came in. The Soviet aircraft are no match for our 97 fighter planes. Seven to two, our aircraft are still fewer than the Soviet aircraft. It is a great victory." Yamashita Fengfumi said.
Then he said with some confusion, "But what's strange is that the planes provided by the Soviet Union to support the Eighth Route Army have not appeared yet for some reason. Maybe they want to concentrate their elite forces and give us a hard blow."
King Higashikata Minuhiko stroked his beard and said in agreement, "It's very possible. This is indeed a good tactic. Let's leave the Mongolian affairs to the Kwantung Army. If we remove the troops stationed in Mongolia who requested to withdraw, we will
How many troops can be invested in this sweep?"
Yamashita Fengfumi led King Higashino Higashi no Hiko to the map and said, "Commander, please look at this map. We plan to invest a total of 87 brigades drawn from seven divisions and 8 of the Imperial Alliance Army in this battle."
Each division, with a total of about 300,000 men, mainly conducts mopping up work in brigade units. Our battle plan is a three-step process.
The first step was to separate the Taihang Mountains from the North China Plain, and use bunkers, fortifications and trenches as means to completely isolate the Taihang Mountains.
The second step is to take the brigade as a unit. The three brigade cover each other and alternate attacks and sweeps. The Taihang Mountains are divided into three sections: Shanxi, Hebei, and Beiping.
The third step is to completely wipe out the Eighth Route Army units in the Taihang Mountains in Hebei and Peiping, block the exits of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and station the Imperial Army at various key points in the Taihang Mountains. Our army will return to the plains to prepare for the next step of plain sweep operations.
The entire operation will take about three months and is scheduled to start on July 15th. Now most of the troops are in place and ready to launch an attack at any time. In addition, Central China will also provide aviation as our covering force."
King Higashikata Minuhiko nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, we are approaching step by step, closely linked, neither impatient nor impetuous, punctual as steady as Mount Tai, and attacking as powerful as a tiger. Yamashita-kun, you can become the commander-in-chief of this party."
Yamashita Fengwen quickly said humbly, "You are too flattering, and my subordinates are frightened."
Prince Higashikata Minuhiko waved his hand and said not to care, touched his beard and said, "We can't just look at the Eighth Route Army. There are also a large number of Chongqing troops in Hebei, Shandong and other places, right?"
Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said, "Yes, and there are quite a few of them. They also occupy some towns and villages and resist the imperial army. Due to the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army in North China, many of them are very disgusted with the Eighth Route Army, and their subordinates also
Think it can be used."
King Higashikata Miyazaki rolled his eyes several times quickly and said, "I think we can use a divorce plan. In this way, this battle will be carried out with great fanfare and tell everyone that our battle is to cooperate with the Nanjing government and only attack the Red Party troops.
We will not attack the Chongqing Front Army. As long as the National Army does not attack us, not only will we not attack them, but we will also give them benefits, money! Women! I will give them whatever they want, and we will also win them over to attack the Red Party Eighth Route Army.
To win over them to provide us with intelligence and deal with the Chinese people, it is most effective to use Chinese people."
Yamashita Fengwen clapped his hands quickly and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this trick is really clever. The National Army will definitely be fooled."
——Taiyuan
Mr. Zhu put down the telegram and said with a smile, "Is it as we expected? This little devil is still at war with the Soviet Union."
Zuo Quan filled in some latest information on the map and said, "It's all the credit of the intelligence department. The Japanese army will not be the opponent of the Soviet army. When the Japanese army is defeated, our army can take advantage of it and attack Suiyuan."
."
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "This is naturally the best, but we cannot rule out the victory of the Japanese army. We need to make two copies of the plan. What will happen if the Japanese army loses and what will happen if the Japanese army wins."
Zuo Quan responded and expressed his understanding.
After speaking, Mr. Zhu said to Mr. Peng next to him, "This is the information from the intelligence department. The Japanese have prepared plans and troops and are preparing to carry out a big sweep for us."
Boss Peng hummed, "Whoever is doing the raiding still doesn't know. The Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles. Can they cut them off if they say they cut them off? But just in case, I think it's best for us to prepare troops and be ready to leave at any time."
Save the Taihang Mountains.”
Mr. Zhu agreed, "Yes, let's calculate defeat first and then win."
——Mongolian grassland
Sharibu waited for four days and found that there was no movement from the Japanese army. Except for a few planes falling from the sky from time to time, the entire battle was as quiet as if they were on vacation. Sharibu became more and more convinced that the Japanese army was not actually prepared. This time, nothing happened.
It was just a big friction.
As soon as this man relaxed, he wanted to have some fun. Saribu's hand couldn't help but touch the wine bottle next to him. As an athlete on the grassland, life without wine is really difficult.
"Report to the division commander, there is a call from the Soviet Army. Their vanguard, an armored reinforcement battalion, is still a day's journey away from us. Let us better prepare." The communications soldier said and handed the telegram to Sarib.
Sha Ribu looked at it and said with determination in his heart, "Okay, this is coming much faster than I thought. Power up the troops and ask them to allocate half of their troops to move closer to me tomorrow and prepare to counterattack back."
After issuing the order, Sharibu found his own soldiers and said, "Our Soviet friends are coming soon. They like drinking the most. Go and prepare some wine immediately... Well, it can't be too bad. Like this,
When you find it, send some wine to my tent."
Naturally, the soldiers understood it. When Sharibu saw a plump Mongolian woman coming in with a jug of wine in the evening, his eyes lit up and he said that his soldiers would take care of things.
But only twenty or thirty miles away from Sharibu Camp, a Japanese army was advancing rapidly.
This Japanese army was small in number, a fast force composed of about 600 cavalry and more than 20 armored vehicles and tanks. They acted without hesitation. It was obvious at first glance that they were well prepared.
Dongbabaizang is the commander of this unit. This unit is a mixed unit composed of a cavalry regiment and a chariot squadron. Its target is the headquarters of the Mongolian Army's 6th Cavalry Division.
"Twenty miles further from here we will reach the camp. It is already dark now. Do we want to take a rest?" The speaker was a Mongolian. He wiped the sweat from his face and asked Dongbabaizo.
Dongba Baizang looked at it with a telescope, shook his head and said, "Soldiers need to be quick, we are in danger here, the best way is to attack and destroy the enemy as quickly as possible, keep moving forward, don't stop!" After that!
He patted the Mongolian on the shoulder and said, "Hold on, you are very timely in providing information this time. When we return, we will ask King De to reward you heavily."
When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Serving the imperial army is what you should do. Please continue to follow me."
At this time, Saribu's military camp was already in chaos. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Saribu was drinking in his tent for fun, and the people below followed suit, and some also drank secretly.
, some gambling, some wrestling, it was so lively, the cavalry who were supposed to go out on patrol also went out casually and quickly came back to have fun.
Sharibu was lying on the bed, holding the beauty in his arms, his face flushed with passion. Only then did he vaguely hear some noise outside.
"These little bastards are herding sheep again!" As he said this, he thought of cursing, and felt a little dizzy. Then he was hugged by the beauty in his arms, and suddenly lost his strength again, and said, "That's it, it's so late, let's talk tomorrow.
Come on, beauty, let’s have some fun again.”
Dongba Baizang lay down in the grass and looked at the chaotic military camp, and said with great joy, "God help me, order the cavalry in front and the armored troops in the rear. After the cavalry enters the military camp, they immediately set fire to them and go straight to their headquarters!"
The Japanese cavalry cautiously approached the Mongolian camp. The horses' legs were tied with cotton cloth to reduce the noise they made. The Mongolian sentry who was dozing suddenly felt that there seemed to be some black shadows in the distance. He thought it was a pack of wolves and was not afraid.
I threw a torch far away, and the torch flew around, illuminating the figure of the Japanese cavalry.
"It's the cavalry! Enemy attack! Ah~" As soon as the sentry screamed, he was shot to death by the Japanese cavalry on the sentry tower. Several nooses caught one end of the deer's antlers. With a pull, the antlers fell.
Flying up.
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Kill!!" Higashiba Hyakuzo shouted excitedly, taking the lead and rushing into the military camp, holding a saber in one hand and a pistol in the other, killing everyone on sight. The cavalry also followed suit.
After getting up, many people took out torches, lit them, and threw them into the tent. Some lucky people found the place where the Mongolian army's fodder was accumulated, which made the fire burn even more fiercely.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The mortars carried by the Japanese cavalry began to show their power, and they fired at the depths of the Mongolian military camp. No matter what they hit, as long as they could cause chaos, the Japanese armored vehicles also started to move, and they fired into the Mongolian military camp.
After entering, the machine guns fired wildly, firing at the guard towers from time to time. Within a few minutes, the Mongolian military camp was already in chaos.
Saribu then sat up in a daze, listening to the chaos outside, and yelled, "Why did it become like this? The little bastards are probably fighting again."
After saying that, he angrily walked out with a gun. He was surprised to find that there were gunshots and shouts of death everywhere.
"Commander, it's not good, the Japanese army is coming. We can't resist it anymore. Run away." An officer saw Sarib and ran over in a hurry and said.
"What's going on? Why did the Japanese army suddenly arrive? Did they fly in?" Sharibu asked in disbelief. A stray bullet hit Sharibu next to him, startling him, and he stopped.
Asked, he rode on the horse brought by the soldiers nearby and prepared to run.
Before he could even start, he heard the sound of a motor behind him. Sarib was dumbfounded as a Japanese armored vehicle drove past his tent, with a machine gun pointed at him.
Saribu pulled out his saber and slashed at the armored vehicle. The Japanese armored vehicle was the 94 tank. The weak armor was actually cut into by Saribu's sword. Saribu was also stunned. He just wanted to resist.
For a moment, he didn't expect such a result. He had cut down Soviet tanks before, but he had never been inside one.
Saribu tried to pull it out again, but he couldn't. The Japanese soldier in the car looked at the blade exposed by his seat, swallowed his saliva, and aimed at Saribu. Saribu was shot several times, and he was in pain.
He fell to the ground and struggled for a while and then stopped moving.
