501 The Soviet Army entered the war
An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the sound of guns and cannons resounding throughout the battlefield gradually calmed down. Seeing the attacking troops getting farther and farther away from him, the smile on Lei Tianming's face was immediately replaced by the Chief of Staff behind him, and ordered the Chief of Staff behind him: "Chief of Staff, contact each attacking troops immediately. In order to avoid the alone, each attacking troops quickly retreat and count the results of the battle. Before dawn, I need to know the results and losses of each unit..."
“Yes, teacher…”
The next day, before the division commander Lei Tianming woke up from his sleep, he was awakened by a series of deafening cheers.
"Long live...Long live...Long live the National Defense Force..."
"Adminton, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy..." Lei Tianming, who woke up from his dream, asked to the adjutant standing at the door.
Soon, the adjutant with the rank of major appeared in front of Lei Tianming and reported: "The brothers of our 071st Division were cheering... Although the results we achieved last night were huge, we could not see clearly in the night. Just as the sky was dawn, the corpses of the Mongols piled around us were seen by the brothers. After seeing the piles of Mongols around us, they subconsciously began to cheer. The corpses of the Mongols outside were piled up like mountains, with at least tens of thousands of...."
"Go out and have a look..." Lei Tianming, who quickly put on a military coat, quickly stood up and walked out of the tent.
Raising the telescope, the tragic situation on the battlefield was clearly visible in front of Lei Tianming, just like a movie. Countless war horses and Mongolian corpses, with broken limbs and broken arms that had been crushed into meat sauce by tank tracks... If it weren't for the thick layer of snow, Lei Tianming wouldn't dare to imagine whether he was standing in the middle of a mountain of corpses...
At this moment, the Chief of Staff, who had an excitement, rushed over and reported to Lei Tianming: "Teacher, a great victory..."
"According to battlefield statistics, we ate at least 15,000 Mongolian cavalry last night... In addition, we seized more than 8,000 war horses... Although more than 4,000 of these war horses have been injured, the four thousand injured war horses are enough for our army to consume meat in the next month. In other words, based on these seized horse meat alone, we will no longer need the rear to airlift any meat products and food for us in the next month..."
Lei Tianming nodded and asked, "What about the loss... Are our losses big?"
"Not big..." the chief of staff denied: "Because of armored forces, and we had ammunition in our hands. During the entire battle, we lost only more than 800 people, and we were all lost in the attack."
Lei Tianming, who breathed a sigh of relief, analyzed: "The loss of 800 people, plus the losses a few days ago, we lost half of the regiment, and at least half of the minor and serious wounded people. Timely treatment must be carried out. Otherwise, in such a harsh environment, when the war ends, these minor and serious wounded people will be disabled for life even if they do not die."
"Chief of Staff, please contact the Air Force immediately. Can you send a transport plane to transport all the minor and serious wounded people in our hands back? If possible, our 071st Division will immediately mobilize all engineers in the army to build a field airport again for the transport plane to take off and land."
The Chief of Staff affirmed: "Second. I will contact the headquarters and the Air Force immediately... But, the main force of the division will be next..."
"I fought for a few hours yesterday, not only us, but all the brothers in the army worked hard..... I ordered all junior troops to rest immediately..... All logistics troops in the army cooperated with the engineers to find favorable terrain to build field airports..."
Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Outer Mongolia, is a rare grassland city on the outer Mongolian grassland. Because the Mongolians are mainly cavalry, the huge Ulaanbaatar did not build a city wall of more than ten meters high like the Central Plains, but only built an earth wall of less than five meters high around the city.
Because of the series of military operations that are taking place in front of us, Mongolian cavalry and Soviets can be seen everywhere in the huge Ulaanbaatar. Of course, a tense and solemn atmosphere also enveloped the city on the grassland, making all the people living in this city crouch in their homes and dared not wander on the streets.
At the Outer Mongolia Army General Headquarters in the center of Ulaanbaatar City, Qiaobashan, dressed in a marshal's uniform, glanced at the subordinates standing in front of him with a serious expression. He was filled with anger.
Although the Outer Mongolian cavalry achieved considerable results in several consecutive days of attack, almost destroyed the three combat groups of the National Defense Forces on the snowy Mongolian grasslands. However, the Outer Mongolian army commanded by themselves also suffered unprecedented huge losses.
Under the joint attack of the Defense Force Air Force, tank troops and ground forces, the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry elites responsible for surrounding the three combat groups of the Defense Force can be said to be collapsed at once. A total of 100,000 Mongolian cavalry elites, the number of cavalry who successfully withdrew from Ulaanbaatar was less than 30,000.
You should know that these cavalry were formed by one's lifelong efforts. Now, because of the instigation of the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army and the small temptation given to oneself by the Soviet Far Eastern Red Army, the tens of thousands of cavalry elites he had worked hard to form for most of his life were completely destroyed on the Mongolian grasslands and in the hands of the National Defense Forces.
Regret is the only thought in Qiao Bashan's mind at this moment. However, there is no medicine for regret in the incident. Since he has done it, he has to bear the consequences of this incident.
Faced with the three combat groups of the National Defense Forces that were constantly facing Outer Mongolia and Ulaanbaatar, all Chobashan could do was to defend Ulaanbaatar at all costs with the help of the Soviets, with the help of the Soviets, defended Ulaanbaatar and his last stronghold.
A pair of murderous eyes quickly glanced at the surrounding subordinates and shouted with murderous aura: "Who can you tell me what we should use to defend against the attack of the Han army? Can anyone tell me a satisfactory answer..."
Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere at the command center, the Soviet major general standing beside Chobashan had to speak: "Commander-in-Chief Chobashan, I deeply regret the loss of your troops. However, the great Soviet Far Eastern Red Army would never watch their allies fail, and watch your troops be destroyed under the attack of the National Defense Force..."
Seeing a glimmer of hope flashing in Qiaobashan's eyes, the Soviet major general's eyes returned to his previous arrogant expression and spoke to Qiaobashan in front of him: "Commander-in-Chief Qiao. In order to support you and support the Outer Mongolian army, on behalf of the great Soviet government, I unconditionally support your headquarters to arm all the weapons and equipment of the five light field divisions. This morning, I had contacted the Soviet government and the Far East Army would send all the equipment here in three days. So, as long as Commander-in-Chief Qiao gathers the Mongolian warriors of the five light field divisions again, the forces of the five main divisions will be formed in a short time to defend Outer Mongolia."
"Really... Major General, the Soviet government will really provide me with five field divisions of weapons and equipment for Outer Mongolia..." Qiaobashan seemed to have found a savior and asked excitedly at the major general of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet major general nodded affirmatively and replied: "Commander-in-Chief Qiao, all equipment will be in place within three days. What you need to do now is to summon 80,000 Mongolian warriors within three days. After the weapons and equipment arrive, reorganize five field divisions, block the National Defense Forces, and defend Outer Mongolia..."
"In addition to the equipment of the five main field divisions, our Soviet Far East Red Army will also send two heavy artillery divisions, one aviation division and one tank division, with a total of 20,000 technical troops. We will arrive in Outer Mongolia in a week and personally participate in the battle against the National Defense Force..."
Hearing this, Chopper's confident expression became even stronger, and he assured the Soviet major general: "Please rest assured that there are five main field divisions in hand. In addition, one aviation division, one tank division, and two heavy artillery divisions of the Soviet Red Army participated in the battle. I believe that the victory of this battle must belong to us, and my Outer Mongolia..."
After saying that, before the Soviet major general responded, he ordered to his subordinates who also had anticipation expressions in front of him: "Warriors, everyone has heard it. It won't take long to have all the weapons and equipment of the five main divisions. Now I order everyone, in every tribe in the entire Outer Mongolia region, in units of size, to transport 500 to 5,000 Mongolian warriors to the General Command within three days, for us to form a new Mongolian army and establish a Mongolian country..."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
As night fell, the mighty marching queue of the 071st Division of the National Defense Forces slowly stopped. Then, the battalions and regiments began to build a base with the division headquarters as the center. Of course, three fighter jets of the First Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Regiment of the First Regiment of the First Regiment of the First Regiment of the First Division of the National Defense Forces, which had been cruised over the head of the 071st Division for a whole day, also disappeared on the vast grassland with hopes for the ground troops.
The division commander Lei Tianming just walked into the division headquarters tent, and the chief of staff reported: "Teacher seat, should we arrange double sentries and guards tonight.... This place has completely penetrated into Outer Mongolia, and there is only the last two days left to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Outer Mongolia. Maybe now, we are under the noses of the Outer Mongolia army in everything we do...."
"Then arrange a double warning post. In addition, the division is ordered to be armoured assault battalion, and it is best to stand by and prepare at any time. The Mongolian prairie can almost be said to be the world of Mongolian cavalry. If there is no armored force that can be attacked, even if it is attacked, it will only be passively beaten." Lei Tianming ordered in a firm tone.
However, before his order could be heard from the tent, a loud report reached Lei Tianming's ears.
"Reporting the division seat, the investigation troops report urgently..."
Lei Tianming frowned and ordered to the door of the tent: "Come in, what urgent reports are there for the reconnaissance troops..."
As soon as the words fell, the combat staff quickly walked into the tent. Captain Lei Tianming said, "The division seat, the reconnaissance force reported that unknown troops were found five kilometers north of the station, with a total force of more than 20,000 people, and they were equipped with a certain number of tanks and artillery. The reconnaissance force has been ordered to go for reconnaissance. I believe that new news will come in no time."
A trace of incredible expression quickly appeared on Lei Tianming's face, but this expression lasted for only five seconds and showed a thoughtful expression. After sighing, he spoke: "Chief of the staff, judging from the news brought by the reconnaissance force, the intelligence sent to us by the headquarters two days ago has become a reality. The Mongolian army reorganized five field main divisions based on the weapons and equipment sent by the Soviet Union free of charge. The troops that appeared in front of us were a main division just formed by the Mongols. However, there was one thing I had not figured out where the tank troops that appeared among the Mongols came from. Even if the Soviets supported the Mongols armored tanks, the Mongols would not be able to control the tanks to participate in the battle in a short period of time."
The Chief of Staff smiled bitterly and shook his head and replied: "Secretary, I don't know what the situation is. However, I only know one fact. Any strategy will be smashed to pieces in front of real strength. Now we have ammunition and the fuel is very sufficient. The Mongols will come if they want to come. At worst, our soldiers will block the water and soil..."
Lei Tianming nodded in approval, and then ordered the combat staff in front of him: "Staff Wang, immediately call the reconnaissance troops to closely monitor the Mongolian army's every move, and try to understand the Mongolian army's troops and equipment as much as possible..."
"Chief of Staff, immediately order the 071st Regiment, Armored Assault Battalion, Tank Regiment 1st Battalion, Heavy Artillery Regiment 1st Battalion, All the above-mentioned officers and soldiers quickly finished their supper and prepared for battle... The remaining troops of the entire army should hurry up and rest to prevent a decisive battle tonight."
The Mongolian army five kilometers away was no one else. The newly formed Mongolian First Division, which was officially formed by Qiaobashan, the first tank regiment, the first and second artillery regiments, and the corresponding logistics forces, had an astonishing 20,000 troops.
The mixed troops composed of 20,000 Mongolians and Soviets were ordered to arrive here and under the cover of night, they fought a decisive battle with the National Defense Force, which had a total force of less than 15,000. Of course, even if they could not completely wipe out the 071st Division in this decisive battle, they would have to deal a severe blow to the 071st Division and create conditions for the next decisive battle.
At the Mongolian Army Joint Command, a Mongolian officer with the rank of lieutenant general sat in the main seat, and two Soviet officers with the rank of colonel sat in the rear, while other Mongolian officers with the rank of major generals and colonels sat in the position of two Soviet officers.
Looking at this posture, you can tell that the Mongolian army, which is ready to go, is holding a pre-war combat meeting.
The Mongolian military commander who was carrying the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders glanced at his surrounding subordinates and focused his attention on the Soviet colonel. Then, he asked with a little compliment: "Comrade Colonel, what do you think and opinion about this war..."
The Soviet colonel with a proud expression from the heart did not hesitate. He directly suggested in a commanding tone: "My idea is very simple. With the powerful assault ability of the tank regiment, under the cover of two heavy artillery regiments, he suddenly wanted to launch an attack on the National Defense Force's garrison. At the same time, the Mongolian First Division, which then attacked, quickly poured into the National Defense Force's garrison and engaged in close combat with the National Defense Force. Only in this way can the National Defense Force's firepower advantage be weakened by us. The strong melee ability of the Mongolian First Division can be fully utilized."
Although I was very dissatisfied with the arrogant tone of the Soviet colonel, I thought that I would rely on Soviet tanks and artillery in the next battle, the Mongolian Lieutenant General could only grit his teeth and put this dissatisfaction in his heart. He supported with a complimentary expression: "I agree with the colonel's suggestion. Now I order the new first regiment to be the first-tier attack force, closely behind the Soviet tank regiment and attack the National Defense Forces barracks... The new second regiment and the third regiment should be the second-tier. As long as the first regiment attack into the National Defense Forces station, they will immediately launch a decisive attack, rush into the National Defense Forces station, and engage in the close combat we are best at with the National Defense Forces."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief..."
The night on the Mongolian prairie is getting darker and darker. During the day, it is still a calm grassland. It is actually blew with strong winds. Not only that, the weather has been clear for several days and it has also started to snow heavily. The grassland that has no visibility has become lower as the wind and snow gets heavier.
Standing outside the military camp, I couldn't even see clearly what was five meters away. With the cover of wind and snow, I just left the military camp less than fifty meters, and the crowds in the military camp disappeared completely.
Looking at the increasingly heavy wind and snow in front of him, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian Army seemed to see the heavenly soldiers and generals, and said excitedly: "Warriors, God really helps me. Such a heavy wind and snow are simply the best cover for us... I believe that under the cover of this wind and snow, even if we approach the National Defense Forces camp one kilometer, it will not cause the other party to suspicion."
Then, he ordered to the front office: "Now I order that all combat troops will immediately enter the state of combat. Two hours later, they will start attacking the National Defense Forces barracks... The Cavalry Regiment directly under the Division Headquarters will immediately launch an attack on all the National Defense Forces reconnaissance units around the barracks in a company. Before the war begins, the National Defense Forces will become blind and deaf..."
The equipment of the National Defense Forces' reconnaissance forces is definitely the most excellent among all field troops. However, on the grassland without any hidden objects, no scout with any exquisite equipment cannot stop the Mongolian cavalry that is almost endless.
The National Defense Forces reconnaissance units, in squads, were like prey on the grassland, slashed by the Mongolian cavalry with butchers, and fell on the vast grassland and turned into corpses.
Of course, the convenient Tonghua conditions of the field troops of the National Defense Army were equipped with walkie-talkies to the company and the reconnaissance troops were equipped with walkie-talkies to the platoon, saving more than 10,000 soldiers of the 071st Division at the critical moment.
