Volume One On the Songhua River Chapter 2006 The Soviet Attack Begins

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Qiuli's analysis was good. Stalin had gathered a large number of troops in the east. The first target to be killed was Tang Qiuli's troops in Outer Mongolia. In the eyes and mind of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Tang Qiuli was more powerful than Japan.  People are even more dangerous and hateful. To choose the greater of the two evils, curbing the spread of Chinese power in the Soviet Union's eastern territories is more important than killing the Japanese Kwantung Army.  High-quality updates are here

    Stalin knew very well how much of the so-called eastern territory of the Soviet Union was taken by force from the Chinese. It must be more than 1.5 million square kilometers. In order to permanently bring this vast land under the rule of the Soviet Union, Stalin  In the occupied areas, many de-Sinicization operations were carried out. By 1941, of the more than 300,000 Chinese in the Far East, fewer than a few thousand remained.

    Stalin wanted the Chinese to settle accounts with him. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's military operations in Outer Mongolia touched upon what he was most worried about deep in his heart. All the Chinese's delusional demands for the Soviet Union's eastern territories must be stifled. That Tang Qiuli  The greed for the Soviet Eastern territories even exceeded that of the Japanese.

    In a secret order to General Kilganin, commander and political commissar of the newly formed Outer Khingan Range Front, Stalin formulated the following strategy: ¡°The Outer Khingan Range Front should advance slowly to attack Chita.  The independent division troops in other places formed a strong force of oppression, forcing them to gradually withdraw into the country. If they continued to resist, they would be pressed into the area occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army. "

    Stalin's calculation was quite good. Once the troops of the Independent Division in eastern Outer Mongolia and the Chita area were forced to withdraw to the control area of ??the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Japanese would definitely lose their hatred with the Chinese due to their consistent style.  Spare no effort to fight against the independent division troops.

    By then, the Soviet army will be able to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.  When both sides are exhausted and almost exhausted, the Soviet army will take advantage again and completely eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Independent Division. It is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

    Based on Stalin¡¯s understanding of the Japanese, the Japanese might even use their withdrawal from the Far East as a bargaining chip in exchange for temporarily joining forces with themselves to kill the independent division troops. Of course, Stalin wanted this.  High-quality updates are in front of interests, and enemies may also become allies.

    This was Stalin's version of the "driving out tigers and wolves" strategy. However, Tang Qiuli did not give Stalin this opportunity and ordered Liu Tiehan's East Point troops to withdraw into the country.  The main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which had been confronting Zhukov's Far East Front for two years, was on the front line of the Waixing'an Mountains.  Directly exposed to Soviet troops.  Regardless of whether it was the Soviets or the Japanese, it was in Tang Qiuli's interest to bite the other to pieces.

    After a heavy snowstorm, it was sunny and cloudless for several days, with thick snow.  Under the strong sunlight, it melts quickly on the flat ground and in the ravines.  The cheerful flow finally merged into rivers with turbid waves, washing away the highways leading to the Ural Mountains that the Soviet engineering troops spent several months building before winter arrived.

    The low-lying area has become a swamp. The materials needed to repair the airport that was bombed into a mess by a small group of independent division troops cannot be transported up. The huge amount of ammunition and logistical equipment needed by millions of troops cannot be transported.  Supplies before the war, General Vasilevsky became angry again.

    The ammunition and supplies stored by the logistics department of the Outer Mongolia Front are only enough for the troops to last for fifteen days. This is in normal times. If it is on the battlefield, it may not be easy to maintain it for a week.

    General Vasilevsky can strictly order the engineering troops of the front army to repair the seven roads in the Ural Mountains within five days, but he has no authority to order the engineering troops in the rear to repair their own troops in case of flooding.  , delivered enough ammunition and supplies, which was not within the scope of his jurisdiction. Moreover, this was another natural disaster after the snow disaster. Even if Comrade Stalin shot the commander of the engineering unit, it would not help.  High quality updates

    However, General Vasilevsky could no longer wait. Under his strict orders, the engineering troops of the Outer Mongolia Front worked day and night, and finally completed the repairs of seven roads in the Ural Mountains on the deadline, reaching a level that could be reached.  Barely enough to pass a military truck.

    Five days later, the 550,000 troops of the five armies of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front that attacked Minusinsk crossed the muddy Ural Mountains and approached their target.

    At the same time, General Vasilevsky personally commanded the main force of the front army, with more than one million troops, marching into the Tangnu Mountains. The Soviet Army's Third Outer Mongolia War officially began.

    On the morning of March 15th, at the independent division headquarters in Minusinsk, Tang Qiuli gently placed a telegram on the table and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, you really knew what was going on.  Like a god, Vasilevsky is indeedThe original plan was not changed, but the troops were still divided into two groups. The southern route went straight to Kulun, and the northern route headed for Minusinsk. Have all the troops reached their designated positions?  "

    Zhao Yuhe smiled softly and replied: "Report to the division commander, the troops assembled in Minusinsk will attack ten mechanized infantry brigades, four tank brigades, four artillery brigades, ten rocket launcher battalions, and two air defense brigades.  After arriving at the designated positions, the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th brigades were set up in ambushes in Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu and Buridouwusu on the east side of the Tangnushan Mountains.  Last night, I reported to the division commander that we had entered the ambush position!"

    "Judging from the speed of the march and the melting snow on both sides of the Ural Mountains, it will probably take three or four days for the Soviet troops coming towards us to approach the outskirts of Minusinsk. However, it will take the Soviet troops who have climbed over the Tannu Mountains to reach the outskirts of Minusinsk.  Army, since there are no such obstacles, the speed is faster, so let¡¯s start fighting on the south road first. Vasilevsky¡¯s army of more than one million people has come from afar, so he has to give him a greeting gift!¡±

    "Send another telegram to the four brigade commanders to remind them that this is not a real ambush battle. It does not require the number of enemy annihilations. Just take one bite and leave. It only needs a head-on strike to bring out Vasilevsky's anger."

    "Fight quickly and retreat quickly. This is an eagle attack tactic. Especially Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, always likes to fight hard and is unwilling to let go. In the order given to him, he added a few words,  Xiao Jinshan, after receiving the retreat order from the division commander, you should execute it unconditionally, otherwise, you can come to my side as a staff officer!" Tang Qiuli said solemnly.

    Zhao Yuhe was overjoyed and said: "Commander, this move of yours is like a tight spell. The brigade commander is even afraid!"

    Tang Qiuli also smiled and said: "I'm worried that they will be red-eyed and unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield. Even if they delay for thirty minutes, they may be entangled by the Soviet troops swarming from behind. That's terrible.  It¡¯s going to be a big loss!¡±

    What Zhao Yuhe thought of was another question, "Commander, the four ambushed brigades have withdrawn to Ulanguben. That is one of the goals that the Soviet army must capture on the south route. Don't you worry about the troops falling into the Soviet army again?"  "

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I'm not worried. The Battle of Ulan Guben is still an ambush battle. Vasilevskiy, who suffered a loss in the Tangnu Mountains, will definitely be furious and cannot give orders.  The vanguard is still in pursuit, and Ulan Guben still has some advantages to take advantage of. From now on, there will be no such good things. The Soviet commander who has suffered two losses in a row will not be fooled again! "

    Compared with the Ural Mountains, the Tangnushan Mountains are more steep and have several dangerous passes, which connect the western region of Outer Mongolia and the Minusinsk region of the Soviet Union. Chagan Nur is one of the transportation arteries, and a Soviet  During the military occupation of Outer Mongolia, the simple road built winds through the valley, with rolling peaks on both sides, but the altitude is not high. Clumps of shrubs on the mountains are mixed with tall larch and white birch trees.

    Major General Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Independent Division's Corps, put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the sun setting in the west, and said with emotion to Colonel Wu Jialiang, the brigade chief of staff beside him: "The division commander really chose our brigade.  It's a great place, Jialiang. The terrain conditions here are perfect for ambushes. A few heavy artillery pieces can block the highway. Besides, I still have more than 17,000 troops. As long as I don't want to retreat,  If you wait for seven or eight days, there will be no problem at all.¡±

    Wu Jialiang reminded: "Brigadier Commander, the order given by the division to our brigade is stipulated in time. The ambush will start in no more than an hour, and the Soviet leading troops will be evacuated immediately after inflicting heavy losses on the leading Soviet troops with the most intense firepower."  The battlefield has been moved to Wulanguben, waiting for the next order from the division commander!"

    Xiao Jinshan said nonchalantly: "Orders are dead, but people are alive. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this favorable terrain. Don't look at the enemy situation report issued by the division commander, which said that the Soviet army has more than one million soldiers."  Man, how many troops can the vanguard have? It can only support an army of 30,000 to 40,000 people. If there are too many troops, we can't move around on this terrain!"

    "After the battle started, I launched a forty-minute rapid fire attack and was able to kill more than a third of the Soviet troops. The rest were almost one to one with our troops. The whole brigade pressed forward and took advantage of the old Maozi being beaten.  With such dizzying efforts, we might be able to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation and create a record of annihilating an entire Soviet army with the strength of one brigade. By then, our ninth brigade will be famous in the entire army! Ah, ha!  Ha ha!"

    Xiao Jinshan laughed proudly, his eyes sparkling, and all he could think about was that the Soviet soldiers were bombarded by swarms of artillery shells, making them cry for their fathers and mothers. Corpses were scattered all over the field, and they were in a miserable state. More than 10,000 soldiers of the 9th Brigade,  The scene of mountains rushing forward like a tsunami to capture prisoners and seize supplies.

    Wu Jialiang instinctively felt that the brigade commander¡¯s idea was inappropriate, but he also knew that when the brigade commander started a warBecause of his unwillingness to retreat, he secretly wondered how to prevent the brigade commander from making mistakes.
