    Chapter 786 The first battle

    In an air battle at the Kazadwu Pass, the ** Division Aviation Air Force killed all the bombers of the 9th Mixed Flying Division of the Soviet Far East Military Region at a very small cost. The First Army of the Soviet Far East lost its air fist and gave way to subsequent operations.  brought immeasurable losses.

    Lieutenant General Zhukov, the commander and political commissar of the group army, was extremely angry. This was not a natural disaster or the strength of the squadron's air force. It was entirely a heavy loss caused by the enemy. Major General Yurichenko, commander of the flying division, was the culprit.  If this stupid and arrogant bastard hadn't discounted the commander's orders, there would have been no losses at all and the Chinese Air Force could have been severely damaged.

    Major General Yurichenko, who had been dismissed from his post, was sitting in front of a group of senior generals at the Army Headquarters. His face no longer had the usual expression. Zhukov looked at Yurichenko coldly, looking like a defeated rooster.  Several times he couldn't help but reach for the gun on his waist, wanting to shoot this bastard.

    The Soviet army's management system implemented cross-management or multiple management among various arms. Take the 9th Mixed Flying Division as an example. Although it is assigned to the battle order of the First Army, the division's direct superior is the Soviet Union.  Yakovsky, commander of the Far Eastern Military District Air Force Command. Perhaps because of this, Yurichenko had the courage to discount Zhukov's orders and be perfunctory.

    Therefore, even though Zhukov wanted to shoot this bastard indiscriminately, he had to worry about this system. To deal with Yurichenko, he also needed to report to the military district air force headquarters, and the air force commander, Lieutenant General Yakovsky, and  Zhukov is a mortal enemy. If he were the commander of the infantry division under him, he would have killed him with one shot, and he could also eliminate some hidden dangers for the Red Army.

    Zhukov, who was busy commanding the troops to advance into the Kazadewu Pass, had no extra time to waste on this bastard. He handed the matter over to the chief of staff of the group army and dealt with the air force commander, Lieutenant General Yakovsky.  It really gave Zhukov a headache.

    One day later, the Far East Military Region Air Force Command responded with a telegram, asking the First Army to escort the division commander Yurichenko back to the Military Region Air Force Headquarters and let them handle the matter. After reading the telegram, Zhukov felt that he was holding a breath in his heart and could not vent it.  If he goes out, Yurichenko will definitely save his life, and maybe he will change places and continue to be his division commander.

    Looking at the livid face of Comrade Commander, the Chief of Staff asked cautiously: "Comrade Commander, how should we reply to the telegram from the Air Force Command?" Zhukov said: "If you agree to the request of the Military Region Air Force Command, you can send someone to escort you.  Yurichenko returns to the military area.¡±

    The chief of staff turned to leave, but Zhukov stopped him again and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Just say it was my order to take off the uniform from that bastard. He is not worthy of wearing the great Soviet Red Army."  He found a woman's uniform and ordered him to put it on before going to see his boss."

    Because Zhukov couldn't deal with this bastard who caused huge losses to the Red Army with his own hands, he would not let him go easily. If he couldn't eliminate you physically, he would torture you mentally. He had to vent his bad breath, otherwise, he was worried.  He was going to have a heart attack. The chief of staff was dumbfounded when he heard it. He looked at the comrade commander carefully for a while and then realized that he was not just saying it casually, but that he was absolutely serious. He didn't dare to say more, and he hurriedly followed the instructions.

    The shadow of the defeat in the air battle at Kazadewu Mountain Pass was quickly forgotten by Zhukov. A competent commander would not affect his grasp and understanding of the overall battle situation just because of a single defeat. He did not expect the Air Force to have better results.  Big deeds, and the 200,000 mechanized troops at hand are his biggest support and trump card.

    In addition to ordering the troops to speed up their march, he also sent a telegram to the commander of the troops heading south from Ulan-Ude to Kulun to contain Tang Qiuli's main force, asking him to be cautious and not to advance too fast.  During a firefight between the Chinese and Japanese troops, they must shrink their positions. They must not disperse their forces and attack rashly. The general principle is to seek stability, and the first goal is to hold back the main force of the Chinese ** troops.

    Zhukov carefully considered the series of battles that Tang Qiuli entered into Outer Mongolia. The more he studied, the more he became more and more frightened about Tang Qiuli's military talent and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. This was not the Chinese army in his impression.  The * team seemed to be re-tempered Chinese. He was afraid that the troops responsible for diversion would fall into Tang Qiuli's trap and repeat the mistakes of the Far East Special Forces in the Hujirt Mountains. He knew the current senior generals of the Red Army too well.  quality and mentality.

    The First Far East Army is advancing fast enough. It marches entirely mechanized. Under normal circumstances, it can advance more than 100 kilometers per day. However, the poor road conditions in the Tangnu Mountains limit the marching speed, and unidentified militants appear at any time.  The mines that exploded at any time on the road and the bullets that were constantly fired from the hillsides on both sides greatly affected the Soviet army's marching speed.

    Senior officers in the group army headquarters are speculating about these attacks.There are different opinions on the identity of the militants in the army, and most of them focus on the private armed forces of the former princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia who were suppressed by Qiaobashan. Without the help of the Red Army, Qiaobashan and the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party would not have existed.  It is reasonable for such a generous person to hate the Soviet army.

    Only Zhukov knew in his heart that they were not random armed forces from Outer Mongolia at all. These were small groups of regular Chinese troops, interference troops sent by Tang Qiuli to slow down his march. From their fighting methods and the weapons they used, they were  It can be clearly judged that Zhukov rejected the officers' suggestion to divide the troops for pursuit and suppression, and issued an order to eliminate all interference and reach the Kazadwu Pass as quickly as possible. No troops were allowed to send troops to pursue without orders from the headquarters.  suppress.

    This is a trick of the Chinese general Tang Qiuli. The purpose is to disperse the Red Army's forces and reduce the pressure on the Chinese troops defending the Kazadewu Pass. From Sinusk to the Kazadewu Pass, it stretches for nearly a thousand kilometers.  According to the frequency of small and medium-sized troops, if the troops are divided to pursue and suppress, the main force of the group army will be divided into half of the troops when they reach the destination. What's more, mechanized troops are not suitable for mountain operations at all.

    Zhukov is worthy of being a famous general in the Soviet army. He saw through Tang Qiuli's plan and was not fooled. Tang Qiuli's purpose of ordering the special operations detachment to attack frequently was, as Zhukov judged, to slow down the Soviet army's marching speed and attack Kazad in a thinly divided manner.  The strength of Wushan Pass relieved the pressure on Feng Jiwu's troops.

    The main force of the Soviet First Army of the Far East, in accordance with the orders of Commander Lieutenant General Zhukov, pushed forward desperately towards the Kazadewu Pass. When encountering small armed attacks, they simply ignored them, or concentrated tank fire and carried out rapid mobile artillery bombardments.  After running away, the engineering troops quickly repaired the damaged bridges without affecting the marching speed.

    In front of the marching column were a large number of mine-clearing tanks. Most of the mines laid by the special operations unit along the way were cleared. As a result, the special operations unit's harassment tactics quickly lost their effect. The Soviet army had too many troops, and  The armor was strong, and without the mines, the killing effect on the Soviet army was immediately reduced to a negligible level.

    The special operations detachment cannot get close to harass them at all. Once the detachment of only more than 200 people is entangled, it will quickly disappear in the torrent of Soviet armor. Moreover, tanks that can arrive quickly at any time will have no impact on the special operations detachment.  It is also a deadly threat. A dozen special operations units without heavy weapons or anti-tank guns are simply helpless.

    If you look along the north side of the Tangnu Mountains, in the Outer Mongolia region in August 1938, a large-scale Soviet mechanized force, like an iron flow, quickly moved towards the Tangnu Mountains along the winding Tangnu Mountains.  Advancing from the east, the dozen or so small troops of the Chinese ** Corps, like pebbles fearless of death, kept rushing towards the iron flow, being bounced back again and again, and then pounced on it again.  The stream of iron occasionally paused for a moment, then immediately started flowing again.

    Even so, more than a dozen special operations units, with their tenacious fighting spirit and flexible tactics, succeeded in delaying the main force of the Soviet First Army of the Far East for forty-eight hours at a very slight cost of casualties. If  Counting the ten hours Feng Jiwu gained, Feng Jiwu's troops had fifty-eight more hours of preparation time. This was enough for Feng Jiwu's troops, whose military strength and firepower were far inferior to those of the Soviet army.  precious.

    Five days later, the sun had set, and the evening wind brought a hint of autumn coolness. On the deserted prairie, the roar of engines was heard, and the lights illuminated half of the sky. The only ray of sunset was eclipsed by it. Far East  The leading force of the First Group, the 5th Motorized Guards Division, arrived at the outskirts of the Kazadwu Pass and stopped five kilometers away from the pass, waiting for orders from the Army Headquarters.

    The Soviet army finally arrived at its destination. Feng Jiwu immediately ordered all the troops on the first line of defense to enter combat mode. The equipment of the Soviet army made him secretly frightened. Just the day before yesterday, he sent a telegram to division commander Tang Qiu, requesting  Just like blocking the Japanese in the country, let in the leading Soviet troops, then block the front and rear passages, first eat the surrounded Soviet troops, and then block their follow-up troops.

    Tang Qiuli's telegram back flatly rejected his battle plan and warned him sternly that the equipment levels of the Soviet and Japanese troops were not at the same level. The method of fighting the Japanese army would not work here at all. Feng Jiwu, you want to  Being honest and prepared to be bombarded, minimizing casualties and completing the blocking mission are the issues you should consider most at the moment.

    After receiving the order, Feng Jiwu felt a little uncomfortable at the time. Now he saw the tanks and armored vehicles parked on the grassland, and the large-caliber artillery pieces, and he understood the division commander's intention to let the Soviet troops in.  With the equipment level of my own troops, can the terrain conditions here withstand a large-scale armored group assault?

    "It's definitely not possible. The troop positions blocking the front and rear will be broken through at once. That's self-defeating."?Destroyed, Feng Jiwu understood what the division commander meant when he said prepare to be bombarded.

    While I was thinking wildly, there was a loud thunder-like sound in the night sky, and countless artillery shells, with dark red tail flames, fell hard on my position.
