"By occupying these three places, we can let the troops in the Chahar area attack at the same time to complete the complete occupation of this area. At that time, Outer Mongolia will move from Bayan Delager to Ula Bayan and Su The large area of ??land east of Hebaatar will become the pasture of our Japanese Empire." Komatsubara Michutaro said, the smile on his lips became wider.
"What about the specific offensive mission?" Yamaoka Shigehou, the commander of the Japanese 109th Division who had been silent, asked.
He has a calm temperament. He has been sitting on the chair and almost said nothing. It was only then that he said such a sentence.
Michutaro Komatsubara said: "The 109th Division is responsible for attacking Hakgar, and the 23rd Division is responsible for attacking Taoshun. As for Matad, the 18th Division is responsible for attacking. The first brigade and the 108th Division are independently mixed. It serves as a reserve force to support battles on all fronts at any time.
The most important thing about this attack is speed. The heavy artillery regiment transferred from the pass and the aviation squadron supported by the Kwantung Army will fully cooperate with your attack. Please be sure to complete the offensive mission by the end of May. "
With that said, he bowed to several division commanders and brigade commanders.
This was just a rough arrangement of offensive tasks. In fact, they held meetings to discuss some of the details of the offensive for a long time. Until late at night, the division commanders took cars or planes to rush back to their respective troop bases. He issued an order to the troops under his command to fully attack Outer Mongolia.
While the Soviets and Mongols were still hesitating, Xia Yang's troops were fully prepared to resist the Japanese attack.
Xia Yang first reminded the Soviet 36th Motorized Infantry Division, which was not far from their station, to prepare them for the Japanese attack. At the same time, he expressed that he could provide certain help for the 36th Infantry Division's operations.
Major General Bregrove, commander of the 36th Motorized Infantry Division of the Soviet Union, had been instructed by Lieutenant General Stavsky before to maintain close cooperation with Xia Yang while maintaining trust in Xia Yang.
Therefore, Bregrove, a veteran in his fifties who had experienced the Great Patriotic War, was able to listen to some of Xia Yang's suggestions.
As if to confirm Xia Yang's various speculations, on May 15, 1939, the Japanese 64th Regiment led by Colonel Takemitsu Yamagata, the search team led by Higashi Babaizang, and the three cavalry regiments of the puppet Manchukuo, An attack began on an armored regiment station under the Soviet 36th Motorized Infantry Division.
The armored regiment¡¯s station was none other than the Soviet 36th Division¡¯s Third Armored Regiment, not far from Xia Yang¡¯s station, headed by Scandinavia.
This armored regiment has more than 1,500 people, equipped with more than ten tanks, some armored vehicles, and a heavy artillery battalion. The equipment can be considered very sophisticated.
However, the number of Japanese troops attacking them was even greater. Three cavalry regiments, a regiment, and a search team, the number of combatants alone has reached more than 5,000.
As soon as he got the information, Xia Yang told Scandinavia to be careful of the Japanese attacking troops. When necessary, you can ask for help from him.
But Scandinavia was a little disapproving, wondering how the Japanese dwarfs with an average height of less than 1.7 meters could beat them.
The most important thing is that his unit is still an armored regiment, well-equipped, and the armored vehicles equipped by the Japanese are no different from children's toy cars in their eyes.
But he would never have imagined that he would pay the due price for his arrogance.
On the night of May 21, soldiers of the Japanese 64th Regiment quietly approached the Soviet positions and engaged in close combat with them.
At the same time, the two cavalry regiments in Manchukuo took advantage of the darkness to reach the Soviet heavy artillery position. Using the sabers and grenades in their hands, the entire artillery battalion was completely lost in one night. possess the proper combat capabilities.
The next morning, Xia Yang was woken up by Hu San.
"Master, something happened. The Soviet armored regiment next door was attacked by the Japanese army last night and suffered heavy losses. Although it barely held its position, the artillery battalion and tanks were almost destroyed.
Just now, that idiot from Scandinavia sent someone to ask for help, saying that if they didn't rescue them, they might have to go after the dead Bolshevik martyrs. "Hu San said to Xia Yang.
Hearing this, Xia Yang immediately woke up from his hazy state.
"Damn it, I already told that old guy in Scandinavia?Tell him to watch out for little devils. You just didn't listen, now you're fine. Xia Yang cursed and walked towards the headquarters.
The ones sent over to ask for help were several Soviet cavalry. They looked very embarrassed, with blood and dust stained by gunpowder smoke on their faces, and they looked disgraced.
"Commander Xia, our troops were attacked. The Japanese army launched a sneak attack last night, and then before we could react, they launched a second round of attacks on us in the early morning. Now our outer defense lines have been completely lost. Please You can't help but send troops to rescue our Third Armored Regiment, otherwise we may be completely annihilated." The Soviet soldier said, tears almost flowing out.
Xia Yang knew that he was the closest unit to them at this time. It would take at least a day for the troops of the 36th Motorized Infantry Division to get here, and the armored regiment that had lost its tanks and heavy artillery battalion was like a tiger that had lost its teeth and claws, unable to exert any combat effectiveness at all.
Coupled with the fact that the Japanese attack was so rapid, Xia Yang even doubted whether they could withstand the arrival of reinforcements from the 36th Motorized Infantry Division.
"Okay, I understand. Order the 1st Tank Regiment, 1st Motorized Infantry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, sniper team, and guard battalion to complete the assembly within fifteen minutes and set out to rescue the 3rd Armored Corps. Group." Xia Yang said loudly.
Soon, Xia Yang's order was conveyed to all the troops.
The troops who received the order quickly completed their assembly and began to move closer to the 3rd Armored Regiment.
It took the sniper team riding motorcycles less than half an hour to reach the outskirts of the battlefield. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
