Hearing Yang Zhen's sigh, Wang Guangyu, who was a man with both military and political skills after all, and who knew that the Anti-Japanese Alliance had not completely turned against the Soviets yet, could only nod. But after a long silence, Wang Guangyu was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Said: "No. 1, let's forget it then? Can you give me one more day? In just one day, I will be sure to wipe out all this garbage."
Speaking of this, Wang Guangyu saw Yang Zhen who was a little surprised after hearing that he said those Mongolian troops were rubbish. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe he is used to fighting with armies like the Japanese army, and he is too concerned about these troops' performance on the battlefield.
Having experienced the poor Mongolian army, I can only use the word rubbish to describe it."
"No. 1, you haven't seen their performance on the battlefield. If you had seen it, you wouldn't be so surprised by what I called them. It's hard for me to imagine that this is also called an army? What a waste of time.
Equipped. If our Resistance Alliance had had their equipment, would we have fought so hard?"
Yang Zhen waved his hand and didn't care about Wang Guangyu's name for these Mongolian army trash. Not only the Mongolian army, but also the Soviet army that trained them single-handedly, performed well during the Soviet-Finnish War and the Battle of Nomenhan.
How good is it?
The Soviet-Finnish war relied on the vastly different national strength of the two sides to fight a war that seemed to be a victory but was actually a disastrous defeat. It was just that the opponent was too weak and was not defeated. In fact, it was suppressed by the strong national power of the Soviet Union.
It would be ruined. If it were an evenly matched opponent, the Soviets would probably get nothing.
As for the Battle of Nomenhan, if it weren't for the overwhelming advantage of armored clusters and artillery fire, and the Japanese army were really evenly matched in terms of equipment. If they simply relied on equipment superiority to defeat the Japanese army, I'm afraid the outcome of that battle would have been...
It has been rewritten. Even the entire history of World War II may have been rewritten.
Even so, judging from the losses in troops and weapons on both sides, the Soviet army in that battle was actually not even a tragic victory. And according to the history that I am familiar with, in the early stages of the Soviet-German war two months later,
The collapse of the Soviet army was not solely due to Stalin's command.
Compared with the well-trained German army, the Japanese army, and even the Finnish army, the training and tactical application of the Soviet army, including the command capabilities of its officers, are so different. Its tactics are so rigid and its tactical application ability is so poor that it can be used
To describe it, it's a complete mess. If the master is like this, how can the slave be okay? In this situation, Yang Zhen is not too surprised.
As for Wang Guangyu's unwillingness, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Forget it? It's that easy. It's so good to come here uninvited, only to receive a little lesson, and then leave in a big way.
What happened? If we don’t teach them a thorough lesson, they will really treat us as soft persimmons.”
"When Political Commissar Li was negotiating with them before, the Soviets refused to express their position. Now these bastards who only know how to add insult to injury are surrounded by us, and they are anxious. We will let them hang out in Hailar for a few days first, and we will
Let’s talk about it after it’s completely resolved.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then looked at the watch on his wrist and said: "Isn't a battalion of the second regiment of the 122 Rocket Artillery Corps directly under the military region already here? You concentrate
After hitting him with two volleys of firepower, he gave them an ultimatum to surrender within three hours."
"The ultimatum should be tougher. Tell them directly that if they don't surrender within three hours, I don't care who is standing behind them and will kill them all on the spot. If you can't beat them, just say a few words to the boss behind the scenes and just run away.
Is it that easy?"
"And when negotiating with the masters behind them, the prisoners can be released. But the equipment and supplies must be left with me. Not even a nail can be returned to them. Tanks and armored vehicles will be added to our troops. As for the light equipment, we will
I don’t care, but if it were given to the internal troops, it would be enough to arm five regiments.”
It was a good idea for Yang Zhen to intimidate these Mongolian troops into surrendering on their own initiative, but it was a pity that these Mongolian troops did not give him this opportunity. Before Wang Guangyu could order the rocket artillery salvo, the Mongolian troops in the encirclement circle over there
After several failed attempts to break out of the encirclement, he surrendered on his own initiative.
After receiving the report from the frontline troops, Wang Guangyu had no choice but to ask the troops to take in the prisoners first. He did not expect that these Mongolian troops, who had been very stubborn before, behaved like this? They were surrounded. Are you here?
When a breakout fails, it's better to try more. After only a few breakout attempts, you raise your hands and surrender? Is this still called an army?
Wang Guangyu, who had gathered all his strength and punched nothing with one fist, was despised, so he could only send people to disarm these people and take them in. After interrogating the prisoners, Wang Guangyu realized that these guys had run out of food. When they retreated,
, most of its baggage was almost lost. Except for the relatively sufficient amount of ammunition, all the food had already been lost.
Moreover, its high-power radio station that communicates with the country was sent to the west by a missed artillery shell of the Fifth Division as early as the beginning of the encirclement, together with the radio operator. Otherwise, after these people knew that their rescuers had arrived in Hailar,
You will never surrender so easily.
Looking at the groups of prisoners squatting on the ground in full Soviet military uniforms, as well as the mountains of Mosin-Nagan rifles, Deggarev light machine guns, and M1910 Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns that had been confiscated,
Tokarev pistol and Nagant M-18 revolver.
There are also those 50mm mortars, 82mm mortars, and a large number of guns and ammunition, which are all typical Soviet equipment. Even the sabers equipped by the cavalry are authentic Soviet sabers.
With a full set of Soviet army standard equipment, Wang Guangyu vaguely thought that he was not entering a prisoner-of-war camp where Mongolian troops were held, but a prisoner-of-war camp where Soviet prisoners of war were held.
However, Wang Guangyu was not wrong. Among the prisoners of war of the Mongolian army, there were a large number of Soviet advisers. In addition to the more than 30 captured in the counterattack, they captured a hundred this time.
Many. These people are not those fakes, they are all serious and authentic Soviet military lieutenant-level officers.
These people are a large number of Soviet officers who were placed in the Mongolian army in the name of advisers and played an actual command role in the Mongolian army. Without the consent of these Soviet advisers, even the so-called commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army would not be able to do anything.
The Soviet army had no authority to mobilize any troops above a battalion. The Soviet army's control over the Mongolian army was far beyond what outsiders could imagine. It was precisely because of this that Wang Guangyu was able to capture one hundred, fifty or sixty soldiers in one go.
Soviet Army officer.
Here they are busy taking in prisoners of war from the Mongolian army. Over there, Kovalev, who did not find Yang Zhen in Hailar, and the major general chief of staff of the Soviet army stationed in Mongolia, could not calm down. The Mongolian army entered the northern Xing'an region.
They have lost contact for two full days. Judging from the situation where they were surrounded before losing contact, any further delay may be a disaster.
Especially after hearing the sound of guns and artillery in the north completely subsided, and the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army taking advantage of the main force of the Eastern Cluster, which concentrated 80% of the entire Mongolian army, to enter the Xing'an North area, resulting in a lack of troops, they openly and arrogantly entered.
After the news broke out in Mongolia, the Soviet major general couldn't sit still.
These hateful Japanese troops took advantage of the opportunity that the main force of the Mongolian army in front of them had been transferred away, and the energy of the Soviet armored group in Mongolia was diverted by the battlefield to the east. They defeated the border defense corps of the Mongolian army in front of Arshan, which had lost most of its troops, and openly
Entered Mongolia.
These daring Japanese troops not only invaded the Mongolian People's Republic, but also looted the Bayinbur area where a large amount of food and ammunition were stored in warehouses. After the Battle of Nomonhan, the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia and the Mongolian army stored in
Nearly 10,000 tons of grain and war preparation materials, as well as nearly 100 trucks there, were looted by the Japanese army.
Bayinbur Land is more than 100 kilometers west of Nomonhan, where a bloody battle broke out between the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army the year before last. At that time, it was an important strategic material transfer station for the Soviet and Mongolian armies. After the war, the Soviet Army out of its overall
Consideration. A large number of strategic reserve warehouses have been set up there.
Not only were the supplies that were originally delivered to the front line but not consumed were stored locally in Bayinbur, a large amount of ammunition, supplies and hundreds of trucks were also subsequently transported to prepare for similar incidents in the future.
When things happen, avoid consuming a lot of transportation capacity and transporting thousands of miles from home.
The Soviets are very self-aware of the Kwantung Army's future goals. Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure on logistics and transportation during wartime, although they withdrew most of the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia, they have stockpiled a large amount of equipment and ammunition in Mongolia.
, materials including grain. Especially in the eastern region near the Manchu-Soviet border, there are many such secret warehouses.
What made the Soviet major general chief of staff even more anxious and anxious was that when the Soviet army stationed in Mongolia originally had an infantry division, a tank brigade, and a heavy artillery regiment, they also transferred most of their heavy equipment when they left Mongolia and returned to China.
They are all stored in Baganur, a town north of Bayinbur. And Baganur is only a few dozen kilometers away from Bayinbur.
The Soviet army only has a divisional artillery regiment of 122-mm standard howitzers in Baganor, with a total of 48 guns. In addition, there are 24 152-mm howitzers and a full set of tractors. In addition to
In addition to these large-caliber heavy artillery, there are also a large number of 76mm field guns, 45mm anti-tank guns, and 37-caliber anti-aircraft guns.
In addition to a large number of artillery, there are also more than 200 T-26 light tanks, BT fast tanks and BA armored vehicles of a tank brigade and a mechanized brigade. These are enough to arm a mechanized division. Once it falls,
The consequences of falling into the hands of the Japanese army would be quite serious.
However, by the time the Soviet Army in Mongolia received the news and mobilized a mechanized brigade to rush southward, these Japanese soldiers had already completed the looting of the Bayinbur area. Everything that could be taken away was taken away. What could not be taken away was taken away.
They poured gasoline captured in the Bayinbur area and burned it all. After looting the entire Bayinbur area, these large Japanese troops disappeared into Mongolia.
