    Therefore, I think it is better to let His Excellency Yamaoka Shigehou's troops contain the enemy on the flanks, while our Fifth Division makes a central breakthrough and fights the main force of the Soviets.  "

    ¡°As he said this, an unconcealable fighting spirit appeared on Itagaki Seishiro¡¯s indifferent cheeks.

    As one of the ace troops of the Japanese army, the Japanese Fifth Division¡¯s operations in China can basically be said to be invincible and invincible.  Except for Pingxingguan and the Battle of Taierzhuang, which suffered some losses, other battles had very impressive results.

    For example, when attacking Shanxi, this army defeated thirty divisions of the Shanxi-Sui Army in succession, marching straight in like an unstoppable sharp knife.

    Not only that, the Japanese army base camp began to organize mechanized troops, including the Fifth Division.  Although it is not yet a fully mechanized force, the Fifth Division has been equipped with more than fifty Type 97 medium tanks, as well as other light tanks, armored vehicles, etc. It can be said that it has strong combat capabilities.

    So he was confident in being able to say these words directly.

    But Michutaro Komatsubara had his own considerations and said: "The combat order remains unchanged. While the Fifth Division and the 109th Division contain the enemy forces on the flanks, they also need to support the 18th Division at any time according to changes in the battlefield situation.  Frontal combat."

    After saying that, he continued without even looking at Itagaki Seishiro: "The Independent First Mixed Brigade, as well as the 108th Division in the rear, serve as reserve forces to support the 18th Division's operations at any time.

    At the same time, the 23rd Division will attack Bayimcha and cut off the Soviets' retreat. We will try to include the Soviets in our encirclement within a week and then annihilate them.  Then, they used the captured supplies to directly attack Ulaanbaatar.  "

    Hearing these words, Itagaki Seishiro, who was originally angry, became slightly more relaxed.

    Since we want to encircle and annihilate the Soviets, there is no distinction between frontal battlefield and flank battlefield.

    Encircling and annihilating the Soviet Union's Far Eastern forces is not some idiot's dream.

    Because at this time, the Japanese army had assembled about 200,000 elite troops on the frontal battlefield.  Moreover, these troops are basically Class A divisions, or the reserves of Class A divisions (for example, the 108th and 109th Divisions are the reserve divisions of the Japanese Eighth and Ninth Divisions).

    ??The Soviet Union has a full population, that is, more than 100,000 people.  The biggest advantage of the Soviets should be their equipment advantage.

    But as Japanese people who firmly believe in the spirit of Bushido, they firmly believe that these equipment advantages of the Soviets will be wiped out by their great Bushido spirit.

    This kind of thinking still dominated the Japanese army even in the later Pacific War.  That is to ignore the gap in equipment and fight the enemy.

    For example, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and declared war on the Americans, they completely ignored the overwhelming advantages of the Americans in industry and their super war potential.

    The final result is that the Americans built more than 50 aircraft carriers in one year at that time, while the Japanese did not build more than ten aircraft carriers throughout World War II.

    At this time, General Zhukov, who was in Tamtsag Prague, almost at the same time, launched an order to attack the Japanese army.

    In the early morning, on the vast grasslands of Outer Mongolia, you can clearly see the dew-covered grass, reflecting the golden light under the morning light.

    Butterflies fly among these pastures and occasionally stop on wild flowers.  These wild flowers are dotted on the green grassland, just like stars scattered in the night sky.

    At this moment, bursts of roaring sounds echoed over this land from far to near.

    One after another, large-caliber artillery shells leaped over these pastures and flew into the distance.

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    The Japanese artillery bombardment started first, carrying out uninterrupted bombardment of the Soviet positions.

    In just five minutes, the Soviet artillery bombardment also began, and they also began to launch a fierce bombardment against the Japanese army.

    When the heavy artillery fire from both sides began, the Soviet fighter jets and bombers also began to taxi from the airport runway and flew towards the Japanese army.

    The heavy artillery bombardment from both sides lasted for more than two hours. In a short period of time, a large number of artillery shells were fired, leaving the opponent's position riddled with holes.

    But relatively speaking, the Soviets¡¯ firepower is more advantageous, and their number of artillery pieces isThere are more and the caliber is larger.

    After the bombardment ended, the soldiers of the 18th Division in front of the Japanese army began to charge towards the Soviet position with bayonets drawn under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks.

    They gathered about fifty Type 94 light tanks and ten Type 97 medium tanks on the front.  However, from the Soviet point of view, the so-called Type 97 medium tank is no different from a light tank.

    Thousands of soldiers, under the cover of these tanks and armored vehicles, advanced towards the Soviet positions.

    The width of their attack reached a full ten kilometers, and the skirmisher line could not be seen at a glance. Such a large-scale charge could only be carried out in a place with extremely open terrain like the Outer Mongolian grasslands.

    The Japanese soldiers charging forward were just the first wave of attack.  Behind them, preparations were being made for the second and third waves of attacks.

    This ladder-like attack method is the favorite of the Japanese. It can make the offensive like a wave, impacting the enemy's position one after another.

    On the flanks of the 18th Division, there are two other Japanese divisions.  Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division and the 109th Division also launched an attack.

    General Zhukov used high-powered binoculars to look at the dozens of kilometers of Japanese skirmishers, with a smile on his lips, and then said to Stavsky next to him: "General Stavsky, what I didn't expect is,  The Japanese on the opposite side still only understand the battle at the level of artillery bombardment and infantry charge. Tanks are just mobile fortresses that cover the infantry. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
