    After a good sleep, he has regained a lot of strength and energy now.  The battles in Prague in Tamtsag in the past few days were basically on the alert, with no time to rest.

    ¡°The troops are ready to move out, bypass the Japanese positions in front, and attack the Japanese positions behind.¡± The teacher of the Soviet army shouted.

    They have clearly defined the division of labor. The Japanese army in front will be left to the two Soviet divisions that came over in the early morning. They will be responsible for destroying the Japanese position behind them.

    Xia Yang's troops do not belong to the Soviet army's combat order and have relatively independent command authority.  Therefore, Xia Yang did not need to pay attention to the orders of the Soviet army headquarters, he only needed to cooperate appropriately with the Soviet army's pursuit.

    They rested until noon and then slowly set off on the road.

    The Soviets fought fiercely, whether they were charging or pursuing, their aggression was like fire.  However, doing so would also cause relatively large casualties. In addition, the Japanese army was determined to resist. Although their advance was relatively fast, it also caused a lot of combat attrition.

    Xia Yang's troops would basically avoid attacking from the front of the Japanese army. Instead, they would greet the Soviet army in advance and attack the Japanese army's flanks, or even go around to the rear of the Japanese army to attack.

    This kind of attack made the Japanese army tired of defense, but there was no way.  Because their military strength was already stretched thin, facing the troops of the Fourth Division fighting back and forth, they could only run exhausted, but they continued to lose positions one after another.

    Xia Yang's troops did not participate too much in the frontal battle. The main firepower of the Japanese army was concentrated there, which would cause too many casualties to their troops.  Xia Yang no longer wanted to see his elite soldiers fall on the road to charge again.

    The attack against Itagaki Division continued until the early morning of the third day.

    Xia Yang and his troops finally arrived in front of the last blocking position of the Itagaki Division after they and the Soviet army eliminated one Japanese blocking position after another.

    This place is only more than ten kilometers away from the main force of the Japanese army.

    The Japanese army basically did not move forward much in these three days, because in front of them, the Soviets' large-scale armored troops and motorized infantry regiments, as well as the Mongolian cavalry and infantry, etc., had blocked their return route.  live.

    Michutaro Komatsubara organized his troops to charge seven or eight times, but they were unable to break through the joint defense line composed of the Soviets and Mongols.

    Itagaki Seishiro, who originally wanted to cover the retreat of the main force and only sacrificed the fifth division, found that even if he sacrificed the fifth division, their main force still had no way to retreat safely.

    Because of the huge gap in mobility, the Soviet army arrived on the only way for the Japanese army to retreat one day early. There, they joined forces with the Mongolian army that had rushed over before and built a blocking position to block the Japanese army from the puppet army.  The border area between Manchukuo and Outer Mongolia.

    Michutaro Komatsubara naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He immediately requested help from the Kwantung Army headquarters and asked them to send divisions to respond to their troops.  At the same time, a telegram was sent to the border guard division, asking them to look for opportunities on the periphery and create a breakthrough.

    However, the combat effectiveness of this border guard division is too sparse, so there is basically no need to count on it.  Michutaro Komatsubara even doubted that after receiving the telegram, the commander of the Border Guard Division would simply ignore his order and then retreat to the Hylar area with his troops.

    It was the Kwantung Army headquarters that gave their reply.

    After all, the troops besieged this time also included part of the Kwantung Army.  As for Michutaro Komatsubara, he was one of the backbones of the Kwantung Army and was recommended by the Kwantung Army to serve as the commander-in-chief of this battle.

    Therefore, the Kwantung Army made an emergency decision and mobilized three divisions to come to the border area to respond.  Not only that, they also mobilized a large number of puppet troops. After all, too many elite forces within the Kwantung Army were mobilized. They really couldn't make up the manpower, so they could only ask the security forces with sparse combat effectiveness to come over to make up the numbers.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that it will take at least five or six days, or even a week, for them to mobilize from the inland areas to the border areas.

    Before that, the Japanese base camp said that they need Michutaro Komatsubara and his soldiers to show their determination to serve His Majesty the Emperor and the perseverance to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, to grit their teeth and persevere for a week.  .

    Of course, the top brass of the Japanese army will also send negotiators to negotiate with the Soviets and sign a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible.

      However, the top brass of the Japanese army are not very confident that a ceasefire agreement can be signed before the Japanese army is swallowed up by the Soviets.

    Because at the beginning, the war had not fully expanded, the Soviet high command meant, if we don't fight, I will suffer a little loss and let you take advantage.

    ¡°But the senior Japanese military leaders at the time were full of confidence and felt that they could fight this battle.  So he directly rejected the proposal of the Soviet representative and chose to declare war on the Soviet Union.

    But what the senior Japanese military officials did not expect was that the war situation would change so rapidly in just two months.  The two sides, who were still evenly matched on the battlefield, suddenly became overturned. The Soviets completely took the initiative, while the main force of the Japanese army was in danger of being wiped out at any time.

    At this time, even if the Japanese high-level officials asked the Soviets to sign a ceasefire agreement, the Soviet high command, which had been rejected before, would most likely refuse in retaliation.

    Even if they do not refuse, the Soviets will delay the signing of the ceasefire agreement, and then choose to eliminate the besieged Japanese army before the agreement takes effect.

    After hearing this series of news, Komatsubara Michutaro knew that the top management could no longer count on them. They could only bite the bullet and hold on for seven days, and then wait for the support of the three Japanese divisions and several cavalrymen from the security army.  Division and motorized infantry division.

    But now there is another serious problem, that is, how can they survive these seven days?

    Because when their troops attacked Tamtsage Prague, they poured ammunition on the positions outside Tamtsage Prague for free.

    They were already short of supplies. After the battle in Tamtsag Prague, their ammunition stock was even more pitiful.  For example, in the previous blocking battle of the Fifth Division, one regiment was short of ammunition. In the end, it had to hold its bayonet and rush forward to fight to the death with Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, and then all went to see the Emperor.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
