The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Unexpectedly, in order to save face, the Soviet army suppressed all one of its tank divisions.

The Tank Division of the 1st Group Army of the Mongolian-Soviet Army has two tank brigades and one motorized infantry brigade. The division has about 5600 soldiers. Each tank brigade is equipped with 93 tanks. The motorized infantry brigade is basically infantry. Thousands of dollars.

There is a certain difference between the Soviet Army and the German Army in terms of organization. The division-level organization of the Soviet Army is generally small. Unlike the German Army, the German Armored Division uses a master organization. The general number is more than 15000, and the largest super-numbered division is close to 30000. enter.

The Soviet Union adopted the establishment of small divisions. The number of tank divisions was around 5000-8000. There was no artillery support, and only a few infantry carried tanks to fight.

The tanks equipped by the Tank Division of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia are mainly t-26 light tanks and bt-7 light tanks. Due to the butterfly Zhang Yunfei, the Soviet army did not produce the famous t-34 tanks. The famous t-34 tank has been produced in advance by Zhang Yunfei, namely the Type 30 tank of the No.39 Sixth Army. [

The Type 39 tank has been in production for two years, has passed the test of actual combat, and has undergone several improvements. The current performance has been improved on the basis of the original.

The main tank equipped by the Tank Division of the 1st Group Army of the Mongolian-Soviet Army was the t-26 light tank. In addition, there was a certain amount of bt-7 light tanks. The t-26 tank was the first tank equipped with the Soviet army in large quantities.

t-26坦克于1931年正式定型，1932年装备苏联红军。是苏联红军坦克部队早期的主力装备之一。t-26坦克主炮为37mm口径，t-26b口径加大为45mm。不过t-26轻型坦克的装甲防护差，没有足够能力抵抗敌入的火力。

The t-26 tanks have been produced for many years. The t-1 tanks equipped by the tank division of the 26st Army Group Army stationed in Mongolia and the Soviet Union are all improved t-26b tanks. The main guns are all 45 mm in diameter. It has improved a lot in power.

The firepower of the t-26b tank should exceed the German No. 2 tank, and even be on par with the early No. 3 tank. Although the firepower of the t-26b tank is good, its protection ability is relatively poor. For example, the front armor is only 25 mm, which belongs to the A typical tank with strong offense and weak defense.

在中国国内，t-26坦克**也有装备，如**唯一一支机械化部队——第200师，第200师一共装备了70辆t-26、4辆bt-5、18辆菲亚特cv-33坦克。

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fifth Army based on the 200th Division severely damaged the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army in the Battle of Kunlun Pass.

This time, in order to save face, the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia sent all its tank divisions up. It can be seen that the Soviet Army has spent a lot of money and wants to hit the No.30 Sixth Army in one fell swoop.

The frontal position of the soldiers is the 2st Infantry Division of the 1nd Column. The 1st Infantry Division has six infantry regiments, a tank regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment. In addition, there is an artillery regiment equipped with 60 105mm howitzers.

The position of the 1st Infantry Division stretches for nearly ten kilometers, and the depth of the position has reached a depth of several kilometers. It is divided into several lines of defense. On the position, the soldiers have long been ready for battle.

在第2纵队第1步兵师阵地边缘不远处，仅仅相隔数公里，就是第4纵队步兵第3师巨大的阵地，第4纵队步兵第3师的阵地规模，比第2纵队第1步兵师的阵地只大不小。

noon.

On a forward position of the 1st Infantry Division, several soldiers at an observation post are carefully observing the front. There is a large area of ​​flat Gobi in front of them. The field of vision is very wide. Using a telescope, you can almost see the distant horizon.

The soldiers knew that in the distance, ten kilometers away from the soldiers, there were many Soviet and Mongolian troops. Therefore, these soldiers who served as frontier observation posts did not relax at all, but held up their binoculars and looked ahead.

Suddenly, a soldier put down his binoculars, and then "rubbed" his eyes. Just now, the soldier saw a shocking scene. On the horizon in the distance, it seemed that a large number of tanks were heading towards him come over.

Scooping up the binoculars again, the soldier finally confirmed that there were a large number of tanks in the distance, and he hadn't been blind just now.

So, the soldier immediately shouted: "Comrades! There are a large number of tanks ahead. I guess it is a group of Soviet tanks."

At this time, several other soldiers also saw this scene coming. Everyone saw this situation and did not dare to neglect it at all. They reported it immediately. Soon, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division knew about this situation.

Seeing that the Soviet army dispatched so many tanks, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division immediately ordered his tank regiment to go up, and at the same time ordered his mechanized infantry regiment to outflank. [

The situation was urgent, and it was too late to hesitate. Fortunately, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division was very decisive. After giving the order, he reported to his column commander.

Immediately, the Tank Regiment of the 2st Infantry Division of the 1nd Column greeted them. The Tank Regiment of the 2nd Column was fully formed, with two tank battalions and a mixed battalion under its jurisdiction. Each tank battalion was equipped with 46 Type 39 tanks. The mixed battalion Equipped with 22 Type 39 tanks and more than two dozen Type 39 armored personnel carriers.

Hundreds of chariots and horses of the tank regiment

The mechanized infantry regiment was not slow to move, and immediately outflanked the Soviet army's flanks.

The mechanized infantry regiment was mainly equipped with Type 39 personnel carriers and armed off-road vehicles, which happened to quickly outflank the Soviet army. In addition to tanks, the Soviet army seemed to have a lot of infantry. These infantry were the target of the mechanized infantry regiment.

The tank groups on both sides are getting closer and closer, and a large-scale tank battle is about to begin.

*********** Joint command of the 2nd and 4th columns.

The commanders of the two columns had already received reports from the front. Knowing that the Soviet army had finally launched a massive attack, the two looked at each other and thought in their hearts, they did not expect the Soviet army to spend so much money and send so many troops this time. There is also a huge group of tanks.

"Old Luo! This time, the visitor is not kind!"

"Yes!" Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th column, immediately said: "The Soviet army is coming aggressively. This time it will be a tough battle. Your tanks from the 1st Infantry Division may be slightly insufficient to meet you."

After thinking for a while, Luo Jihua immediately said to a correspondent next to him: "Hurry up and pass on my order to order the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division to meet the enemy quickly and attack the Soviet army quickly."

距离第2纵队步兵第1师最近的是第4纵队的步兵第3师，罗济华马上将步兵第3师的坦克团和机械步兵团派了上去。

In this case, there will be two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments to meet the enemy. In terms of the number of tanks, we will not be at a disadvantage, but will have an advantage.

The 4th Column Infantry, 3rd Division Tank Regiment and Mechanized Infantry Regiment are also fully staffed. After such a long period of development, the units of the No.30 Sixth Army are now basically fully staffed, including tank regiments, mechanized infantry regiments and artillery regiments. .

No.30 The tanks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles and artillery produced by the base of the Sixth Army have continuously equipped troops. Even a small number of off-road vehicles and armored command vehicles.

The two discussed for a while, and after giving the order, they immediately reported the situation to Zhang Yunfei who was far away in Datong. After all, this time was a real war, and it was a large-scale battle between the No.30 Sixth Army and the Soviet Army in the true sense. Collision, last time, the Mongolian army's tentative attack was a bit childish compared to this time.

***********front.

The commanders of the two columns had just given orders, and the Tank Regiment of the 2st Infantry Division of the 1nd Column was not far from the Soviet tank group, and the Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division had already outflanked it.

Even the tank regiment of the 4rd Infantry Division of the 3th Column and the tanks of the Mechanized Infantry Regiment were also launched at this time, and they were driving here at high speed from more than ten kilometers away.

The head of the Tank Regiment of the 2st Infantry Division of the 1nd Column also saw through the observation window of his armored command vehicle at this time that the Soviet tank group was only 2000 meters ahead.

As the distance got closer, the situation of the Soviet army in front became more and more clear. Among the huge Soviet attacking team, there were about [-] tanks in front. These tanks formed a two- to three-kilometer-wide line. The front line is rushing forward aggressively.

Behind the Soviet tanks, a large number of infantry could be vaguely followed up. Seeing such a large battle of the Soviet army, the tank commander not only did not have the slightest fear, but felt a little bit of fear in his heart. excitement. [

Such a battle is fun!

Many soldiers of the tank regiment were also in the same mood as their regiment leader. Everyone was slightly excited. As a tank regiment, they hadn't really fought a tank battle. In the past, everyone was basically infantry who bullied little devils Or the little devil's diced tank, that kind of battle is not enjoyable at all.

"Comrades! Prepare to fire!"

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, the tank commander issued a battle order. At this time, the Soviet tanks had entered the shooting range of the Type 39 tanks and were ready to fire.

On the order of his regiment commander, the Type 39 tank at the front fired its first shot. For the sake of caution, this tank still used armor-piercing ammunition.

"boom!"

The gun barrel of the advancing Type 39 tank flashed with fire, and immediately, a 75mm armor-piercing projectile roared towards a Soviet tank.

Almost at the same time, many tanks at the front of the soldiers team also fired. After the soldiers fired the first shot from this tank, these tanks also started shelling, shelling Soviet tanks in the distance.
