60 23 Division Destroyed

"Interesting things happened," Livinov wrote in his diary. "Our chemical defense team found evidence of the use of biological and chemical weapons by the Japanese, and even captured some of the scumbags in Unit 731 alive. ∷ But the Japanese firmly denied all this, instead turning the tables and condemning the great Red Army for creating humanitarian disasters."

When writing this, Livinov seemed to be very angry and laughed. He wrote in a bitter tone: "Humanitarian disaster, what a high-sounding word! But I doubt whether there is this word in the Japanese dictionary and whether it has been explained accurately. Judging from the evidence obtained by our war correspondents and kgb staff on the battlefield, the Japanese do not understand what humanitarianism is at all, and they are not human at all!"

Not only Livinov strongly condemned the Japanese's crimes, but also Colonel Smith, who had mentioned earlier, also revealed to the outside world: "What the Japanese army has done has broken through the lower limit of human morality. I am quite puzzled, how did the Japanese government create these devils!"

The reason why Colonel Smith expressed such feelings was very simple, because he was the witness of the crime of the devils being eaten by people before: "On May 28, I entered the position No. 103 that the Japanese army had previously defended... I saw more than a dozen corpses soaked in the two large pits behind the trenches. Judging from their clothes, it seemed to be the puppet Manchu army. These guys who were called traitors and dog legs by the Chinese were slaughtered by their "masters" with swords, just like slaughtering pigs and sheep... Looking closely, their thighs and buttocks were covered with knife marks, and some could even see bones... The scene was terrible. It extremely challenging the limit of human psychological endurance!"

In fact, what Colonel Smith saw and heard was pretty good. American war correspondent Willington wrote in the compilation of "The Record of the Battle of the Haraha River": "The Japanese were surrounded. The worst supply problem arose. When the Russian young men blew up the last fortifications of the Japanese army, they didn't understand why there were originally at least 300 Japanese soldiers, but only 75 people were found on the scene? What about the remaining Japanese soldiers? The world evaporated? Finally, the Russians found the answer in the battlefield kitchen: It turned out that after the Japanese ate all the military rations, they ate their own people one by one!"

Even Willington's description is completely a scene in a horror movie: the prepared corpses were stacked on the ground like piles of firewood, some of which had been peeled, and some were even shaved, and long strips of human flesh were smoked together with firewood. What's even more terrifying is that the smell of meat was gushing out in a big pot, and a bunch of bloody bones were thrown next to the pot...

The Japanese government, base camp and Kanto Army naturally denied all this. Even if the evidence was conclusive, they turned a blind eye like ostrich with their heads covered. Regarding these accusations, the Japanese used Lucia's slander and frame-up to make excuses. When they were forced to do so, they simply pretended not to hear them.

I have to say that in terms of shamelessness, the Japanese have done a very successful job, and they are truly unprecedented! However, shamelessness cannot help the Japanese win this war. After all, no matter how thick-skinned the face is, it cannot stop the gun.

In the early morning of May 28, Matvi Kulikov used a telescope to observe the Japanese position at the division command post, frowning. For several days, it has been raining and foggy, which has hindered greatly for the attacking side, especially for the Red Army, which is playing a high-tech Bandan coordinated attack with a high-tech Bandan.

For several days, the soldiers of the 2nd Tank Division had been curled up in the trench, enduring the accumulated water over the ankle and the unique cold air in the northeast in early spring. It was really painful.

The weather has now become the biggest enemy of the Red Army!

After observing with a telescope for a moment, then looking at the watch, Kulikov decisively ordered the artillery preparations to begin - the general attack on the 23rd Japanese Division began!

Dozens of howitzers and mortars opened fire together, and the bombardment was overwhelming toward the last position of the 23rd Division. According to Japanese records, "In one day, seven or eight thousand shells poured out, and the soldiers were blown away with flesh and blood, with extremely heavy casualties!"

On this day, Captain Nobi Kuwao, an adjutant of the 72nd Infantry Regiment, received a telegram from the division commander Komatsuhara, asking him to burn the military flag when the worst situation comes and buried the golden flag crown decorated with the emperor's chrysanthemum imperial emblem.

"Shooting the Military Flag" is the standard handling action of the Japanese army when facing the death of the entire army. Although Nobi Guano was familiar with this order when he was studying at the Mainland University, he never expected that he would execute this order one day. For cannon fodder like Nobi Guano, which was armed with the spirit of Bushido, the defeat of the imperial army was equivalent to the destruction of the world view.

At that time, in the dark and humid field bunker, Yebi Guanfu opened the wooden box storing the wing flag with the faint light of the candle, rubbing the wet and heavy sunrise flag, feeling extremely sad!

At this moment, the Red Army's last blow began!

Kulikov's serviceman Malenkov recalled: "When the flames of the signal flares that launched the general attack were still drifting, and when the last batch of artillery shells landed on the enemy's positions exploded, our army launched the first joint offensive operation of various troops in the history of modern warfare in the world.

The infantry followed the tanks and broke through the barbed wire and trenches one after another.

The artillery extended the barrage immediately following the red cloth plates of the infantry reaching the standard line.

Air Force fighter jets and striking aircraft continued to dive and shoot with the instructions of the red smoke bombs from the ground forces.

Rifles, machine guns, and mortars were fired violently in the direction of the remaining enemy, grenades, bazooka, and fire-breathing tanks and flamethrowers continued to burn the enemy's final resistance to ashes.

My brave and fearless Red Army soldiers used grenades, submachine guns and bayonets to repel the fierce counterattack under the supervision of the enemy officer Bai Huanghuang.

The medical team carried the stretcher, and the transportation team braved the bullets, constantly transporting ammunition forward and sending the wounded backward. Step by step, turning the enemy's trenches into our position...

In a row, another attack, the enemy counterattacked again and again. In the flames and smoke, the Red Army soldiers firmly crushed the enemy into powder...

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day. At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a sudden storm broke out. The Japanese army took advantage of the darkness and resolute counterattack, which once frustrated the attack. At the most critical moment of the battle, Kulikov came to the front line and led his guard company forward and violently assaulted, driving the Japanese back with submachine guns and bayonets.

During this fierce battle, a large number of Soviet heroes emerged in the Red Army's offensive troops. For example, Joseph Ilyich, deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 2nd Tank Division, held a submachine gun to command the battle on the front line. When facing the enemy's crazy counterattack, he fought hard and rammed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in one breath. Until the photobullet was shot and the Japanese soldiers stabbed into the stomach with bayonets, he still slapped the enemy with a gun. When the reinforcements defeated the Japanese and were about to send them back, the deputy battalion commander refused to leave the position. After the health officer hurriedly sewed the wound on his stomach, he still stood on the front line to command the battle. Until the battalion was replaced with the defense and evacuated the position.

Another Soviet hero, Peter, was even more brave. His friend Igor recalled: "Peter is a fat man. He is the most edible foodie in the company. At one time, the comrades looked down on him. But Peter was very brave in fighting. In the three battles before his death, he destroyed three enemy bunkers, five machine gun firepower points, and obtained two Red Flag medals... After the battle that day, Peter rushed to the front as usual. He first used a rocket launcher to destroy an enemy machine gun firepower point. Just as he was reloading, two Japanese soldiers rushed up from the side. Facing the shaky bayonet, Peter was not afraid, and picked up the engineer shovel and met... After a hand-to-hand combat, Peter easily killed the two Japanese, but he had no intention of stopping. He carried the rocket launcher and rushed to the next target immediately..."

"I can't even remember how many firepower points Peter knocked out that day. I only remember that after exhausting all his ammunition, facing the siege of the enemy's groups of enemies, he rushed forward with great strides, knocked down two Japanese devils, and finally resolutely pulled the grenade... When cleaning the battlefield, I finally found him, and he was blown into several pieces..."

According to the only living memory of the Japanese soldiers: Peter was seriously injured before the grenade was pulled, one of his arms had been broken, his body was covered with blood, and only his eyes were exposed. When several bayonets were inserted into his chest, he pulled the grenade with the only moving hand.

After Peter died, his troops immediately reported his heroic deeds to the Military Commission. In less than a minute, the Military Commission decided to award Peter Lenin's Order and the title of Soviet hero, and erect a bronze statue in his hometown. The regiment where he lived was also renamed the Peter Petrovsky regiment.

Compared with the brave Peter, there are some Soviet heroes who not only achieved brilliant results, but also played quite smartly. For example, Kirill Ivanov, who was later called the bomb-dropping hero, almost used grenades to destroy the devils. As an assaulter, Kirill was very good at throwing grenades, not only to throw them far, but also tossed them quite accurately. In the words of his company commander, "I am quite puzzled that Kirill can throw grenades into the basket through the basketball court. I am quite puzzled. Is the coach of the national basketball team blind? Why not let him play basketball?"

During the battle that day, the assault squad where Kirill was in was suppressed by two Japanese machine guns and could not move. At the critical moment, Kirill dropped bombs secretly at a distance of 100 meters and destroyed the two machine guns with just four grenades.

This was just the beginning. In the following battle, facing a very cleverly built bunker by the Japanese army, the bazooka hand scattered all the ammunition but failed to destroy it. Just when everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, Kirill appeared. With a few grenades on his back, he began to assault forward with a submachine gun. Using the cover of the terrain, he rushed to a distance of 70 meters from the bunker. After hiding himself, he once again used his unique skills.

The first grenade was accurately thrown into the enemy's shooting hole. With a rumbling sound, the enemy's machine gun temporarily stopped shooting. Just as Kirill's comrade cheered and shouted again as Ula charged forward, the damn machine gun started to spray flames again!

Seeing that his comrades were about to fall under the enemy's gun, Kirill quickly dropped bombs again and threw three grenades in a row. Except for the last one that hit the edge of the perforation hole and bounced out, the other two accurately "drilled" into the perforation hole. After two explosions, the bunker was forever silent!

After the war, in order to commend Kirill's achievements, the Military Commission awarded him the Lenin Medal and the title of bomb-dropping hero with 100 shots, and immediately transferred him to the Soviet national basketball team. At the 11th Olympic Games held in Berlin in 1936, Kirill won the first Olympic gold medal in the basketball event on behalf of the Soviet Union.

However, the most legendary Soviet heroes were not these. They were a wonderful ace pilot Nickre Terkochin. This very young I-16 pilot. He did not perform much in the previous month of battle. He had not shot down an enemy plane. At most, he had completed several air patrol missions and flew back safely.

On May 28, Telkochin opened and flew “six” planes in one breath. This is the case. That morning, Telkochin followed the Grandpatrol and had just completed an air patrol. During this period, a group of enemy planes were involved in an air battle, and the Grandpatrol shot down two enemy planes, and after Telkochin fired all the bullets, it was still just a zero egg.

When returning to the airport to refuel and replenish ammunition, the squadron where Telkochin was located suddenly received an urgent report that at least 12 Type 93 bombers were flying towards the airport, asking them to take off and intercept immediately. After a scramble, Telkochin, who had just landed, took off again and soon he found the batch of Type 93 bombers.

The Japanese bombers were flying towards the airport in a dense formation. Telkochin was ready to start shooting without saying a word. Just as he put a 93 firmly in the scope to start shooting, he suddenly found that although the ground crew had filled his car with oil, it did not load it!

It is conceivable that Telkochin had the heart to curse at that time. He finally prepared to open it, but there were no bullets. This does not mean that when he was in bed and was about to have sex, he was told that his aunt was coming and would not be so teasing.

What made Telkochin even more nervous was that there were really no extra fighter jets in the airfield, and other comrades in the squadron were still preparing to take off. If the Japanese were allowed to drop bombs in the air, the loss would be too great!

At that time, after quick thinking, Telkochin made a crazy decision - I'm going to do my best and fight with you! He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, aiming at the trapped Type 93 bomber, and he pushed the accelerator rod and hit him head-on!

The air traffic accident quickly caused a chain reaction. The 93 who was hit tilted its body and the wings quickly cut off the nose of another 93 on the other side. After a scary metal friction sound, the plane parts flew around in the sky.

As mentioned earlier, the Japanese were in a dense formation, which quickly caused a chain reaction. After a series of scratches and rear-end collisions, five 93s were immediately reimbursed. More importantly, the Japanese who were about to drop bombs were all dropped due to dodging. In other words, Telkochin "destroyed" five enemy aircraft with his own strength, and a total of six "results" were obtained with his own car.

Of course, if the story ends here, everyone will at most sigh at Telkochin's heroic spirit, which is similar to the later story of "My plane was ordered to hit your plane". But the ending in this story is not like this.

After hitting the enemy plane, Telkochin did not sacrifice gloriously. He parachuted as soon as he supported himself and turned over. At the same time, the unlucky ghosts who were knocked down by him also parachuted. Telkochin and the Japanese pilots floating in the air looked at me and looked at you. How did everyone see the other party dislike him, so another air battle broke out.

Terkochin and the Japanese pilot drew their guns in the air and fired at each other. At one time, there was a rain of bullets flying everywhere. It was really more thrilling than Tomco's Hollywood masterpiece. The air fight continued until it landed. With the help of Mongolian herders around the airport, Terkochin shot three Japanese pilots and disarmed the remaining five Japanese pilots.

At that time, Telkochin tied the Japanese pilots into a string with a rope and took them back to the airport. Facing the division commander who rushed over after hearing the news, Telkochin said proudly: "Comrade General, I have brought you a small gift!"

The fierce battle was noon on May 29th. Faced with the unreasonable direct crushing of the Mechanized First Army, the 23rd Division, which had resisted for nearly a month, finally collapsed, and the division was almost wiped out in an integral manner.

After burning the military flag, the division commander Daotaro Komatsuhara committed suicide by cutting his stomach in his command post, and all the middle and senior officers in his army also committed suicide by cutting the stomach or shooting himself. Only a few lucky people escaped from the encirclement in chaos. According to Japanese statistics, there were only more than a hundred people in the 23rd Division who escaped from the encirclement. For a division of more than 10,000 people, this was equivalent to the shattering of all the staff.

However, the Japanese would never admit that the 23rd Division was encircled and annihilated. According to the official report of the Kwantung Army, the 23rd Division successfully repelled the siege of Lucia's ghost beast ten times its strength and turned in calmly. They also said that the losses were extremely weak, and the accumulated casualties were only more than a thousand people.

The Japanese also boasted that the 23rd Division had annihilated many enemies, and initially estimated that more than 30,000 enemies were injured, more than 15,000 beheaded, and seized weapons, ammunition and supplies.

However, when international public opinion asked the Japanese to provide evidence of these brilliant results, the Japanese used military secrets and various inexplicable excuses to deduce them. It was not until the Red Army showed the photos of officers such as Daotaro Komatsuhara that the Japanese reluctantly admitted that in order to cover the main force, the commander of the Komatsuhara Daotaro Division personally cut off the rear and fought hard...
