    It¡¯s just that at this time, the Kwantung Army suffered a sudden attack and the emergency changes in deployment caused chaos among the top and bottom. The situation was very bad. Many orders were difficult to issue to the front line. It can be said that the Japanese army had already been defeated as soon as the battle started.

    At 5:00 on August 9, after receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the 3rd Front Army stationed in Shenyang, Harem Chun decided to shrink the battlefield and evacuate most of the troops in the area west of Zhongchang Road to Changchun, Changchun, and Changchun along the Zhongchang Road.  The Siping, Shenyang, and Liaoyang areas were respectively commanded by the 30th Army stationed in Changchun and the 44th Army which had withdrawn to Shenyang. They were preparing for a decisive battle with the Soviet army in the nearest area west of Zhongchang Road to protect the industrial, military, political, and  It is an important transportation location and has a large number of Japanese expatriates.

    Harem Chun's approach was based on the vast area of ??Aershan, Wuchagou and Baichengzi, with too few troops and no danger to defend. Most of the various guerrillas formed in the area were composed of Mongolian and Han people.  Although it is led by secret agents and Japanese military officers who graduated from Japan's Nakano School, these people have always been centrifugal.

    According to Harem Chun's decision, the 3rd Front Army immediately adjusted its deployment. With the headquarters of the 30th Army still stationed in Changchun, in addition to the two original divisions, the 107th Division of the 44th Army stationed in Solon and the 107th Division stationed in Baichengzi were transferred.  The 117th Division and the 9th Independent Tank Brigade came under the command of the army in the Changchun area.  The main force of the 30th Army is located in Changchun, and the most powerful part is assembled in Siping.

    The headquarters of the 44th Army was later moved to Shenyang, and its 63rd Division was transferred from Tieling to Shenyang.  After arriving in Shenyang, the 136th Division, the 130th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 1st Independent Tank Brigade, and the 1st Special Guard Group under the direct jurisdiction of the front army came under the command of the army.

    The 108th Division later moved to the front line of Panjin and relied on Yiwulu Mountain for defense.  The main force of the 138th Division is located in Fushun, with one part in Tieling, serving as the reserve force of the front army.  The 125th Division and the independent 134th Brigade are located near Tonghua and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army.

    Harem Chun's 3rd Front Army decisively concentrated its 30th Army and 44th Army in the area along the Zhongchang Road, and prepared to withdraw the 108th Division in Jinzhou to Liaoyang in due course.  After the plan for a decisive battle with the Soviet army in the region was reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Kwantung Army organization, after studying it, believed that this plan was not in line with the operational policy of conserving military power for long-term persistence. It would be difficult to replenish soldiers and equipment after the decisive battle, which would make it powerless.  Conduct long-term defense in Liaodong, Changbai Mountains, and along the Yalu River.

    Based on the above situation, the Kwantung Army General Headquarters sent Colonel Sadago Kusanagi, Chief of Operations Staff, from Changchun to Shenyang to conduct detailed consultations with Harem Chun, specifically pointing out that if a decisive battle were to take place, long-term strategic persistence would not be achieved in the future.

    At the suggestion of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Harem Chun had no choice but to change his opinion.  However, the 3rd Front Army's orders for the retreat and transfer of troops have been issued to all armies, divisions and some brigades, and the troops have moved back according to the order.

    At that time, the armored and motorized units of the Soviet Army in the western region, under the cover of the air force, were advancing in parallel on multiple routes to attack the central area of ??the Northeast. Therefore, the Kwantung Army approved the troop mobilization of the 3rd Front Army without further interference.  .

    Back to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army that launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army consisted of the Transbaikal Front in the west, the 1st Far East Front in the east, and the 2nd Far East Front in the north.

    Many of these troops were transferred from the European battlefields after the capture of Germany. The troops have rich combat experience and have excellent military equipment according to European standards, especially the firepower density of light and heavy weapons.

    The three front armies of the Soviet Army have a total of 18 group armies, 33 corps, and 128 divisions, with a total strength of approximately 1.57 million people.  Its heavy equipment includes more than 26,000 artillery pieces, more than 5,500 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and about 3,440 various combat aircraft.

    It was early in the morning when the battle started. The Soviet Red Army had already used the cover of night to deploy millions of troops on the Sino-Soviet border.

    After getting ready for battle, following an order from the frontline commander, the Soviet army suddenly launched a powerful assault on the Japanese army from three directions: Fuyuan, Xunke, and Heihe. At the same time, thousands of tanks and armored vehicles and a large number of  The armored group composed of military heavy trucks also went straight to the Japanese defense line under the cover of night.

    At dawn, the Soviet army crossed the national border in almost all directions, forcibly crossed the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, entered Northeast China from the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, and launched a powerful attack on a 2,000-kilometer frontal battlefield.  .

    At two o'clock in the morning, the 39th Infantry Group Army of the Soviet Far East Military Region was the first to receive good news. The Japanese army stationed in Fuyuan was defeated. The large army had occupied Fuyuan City and was clearing out the remaining enemies in Fuyuan to establish a bridgehead for the large army.

    Immediately afterwards, good news came from the troops commanded by Lieutenant General Vasilev. They annihilated the Japanese 12th Border Guards (brigade level) and the puppet Manchukuo Cavalry outside Heihe River.The 2nd Brigade captured a large amount of supplies. The most important thing was that they unexpectedly captured two permanent fortresses outside Heihe. The fortresses had just been built and the Japanese had not put them into use. Otherwise, these two fortresses alone would have been enough.  The Soviet Red Army can drink a pot of it.

    At 3 o'clock sharp, Xunke was also captured by the Soviet Central Route Army. The two most elite infantry divisions of the Japanese army were surrounded in a narrow area of ??12 kilometers outside Xunke City. If there were not a large number of reinforcements, wait for  This Japanese army will be completely destroyed.

    These results were within the expectations of the Soviets. After all, there was calculation and no intention. One side was fully prepared and deliberately planned to eliminate the other side, while the other side was not prepared at all.

    In order not to cause misunderstandings with the Soviet Union, the Kwantung Army even withdrew some of its coastal defense patrol units for more than ten miles. Even if the situation was reduced, good results could still be achieved.

    However, the Soviet army knew that it was not these infantry that really affected the war, but the large number of Japanese tank troops deployed on the border. This was the essence of the Japanese army's garrison in the entire Northeast.  Only by destroying them can the backbone of the Kwantung Army be broken.

    According to surveys, the Japanese army has only two tank divisions in the Northeast, namely the First Division and the Second Division of the Tank Army. Each tank division has nearly 300 tanks and armored vehicles. They are the two most powerful combat tank divisions of the Kwantung Army.  This force is also the two largest threat to the Soviet army.

    Now the First Division of Tanks is divided and deployed between Fengtian and Changchun, and only the Second Division of Tanks is left, which is deployed on the Xunke line.

    "If the Second Tank Division is eliminated, then there will no longer be any troops in the entire border area that can withstand the Soviets' pace, and the Soviet army can confidently and boldly advance into the northeastern territory.

    Xunke is a small town in the north of Heilongjiang. Although the small town of Xunke has a population of only tens of thousands, it is the headquarters of the Japanese Second Tank Division. It is also a strategic stronghold placed by the Japanese army on the Sino-Soviet border. It has a large amount of stockpiles.  strategic materials.

    Therefore, the Soviet army attached great importance to this small town and placed General Purkaev's 2nd Far East Front Army on this line, consisting of 5 group armies, 5 corps, and 23 divisions.

    The Red Banner Army of Lieutenant General Tereshin was responsible for the attack on Xunke. This unit had more than 50,000 infantrymen, more than 300 tanks, and more than 500 artillery pieces. It was an entire tank dedicated to dealing with the Japanese army.  of the Second Division.

    In addition, the troops also have the 10th Air Force Group of General Zhigalev, which coordinates operations with a total of 9 combat aviation divisions.

    When the Soviet Red Army crossed the border and headed toward Xunke County, Lieutenant General Yamamoto, the top commander of the Japanese army stationed here, quickly received the news from the front, immediately organized defense on the spot, and reported the situation to his superiors.

    Lieutenant General Yamada is a commander with rich combat experience. He has been stationed in Northern Manchuria for eight years and also participated in the Battle of Nostalgia, so he has a particularly deep memory of the Soviet mechanized troops.

    Since Yamada Nagara, who was lucky enough to survive the Nomonkan battlefield in Showa 14, has maintained this habit, that is, no matter what the circumstances, he will place the warning post more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away.

    So when the rumbling Soviet tanks crossed Heilongjiang and headed towards Xunke, Yamada Nagara had already received the report and immediately organized troops to fight back.

    It¡¯s just that Yamada Nagara doesn¡¯t know how many tank troops the Soviets sent south to fight this time, but he is very clear about the responsibilities that he and the entire tank division bear.  If the Soviet tank troops were allowed to quickly pass through their defense zone, his tank division would become a shame to the Japanese Empire.

    Although the enemy situation was unknown, Yamada Nagara still pulled out all 312 tanks and 54 armored vehicles, and cooperated with the 7th Border Guard on the front to block the Soviet army. A large-scale armored decisive battle was about to take place.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
