Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Asilov, commander of the No.15 Army of the Soviet Far East Front, knew very well that without the natural barrier of the Aldan River, the army would have no advantage in facing a Japanese battle group, ensuring the safety of the left wing of the front's evacuation channel. , It’s just empty talk, it’s a blessing not to be eaten by the Japanese army!

The difference in troop strength and the comparison of troop morale are all exceptions. The No.15 Army is at an absolute disadvantage. Its own troop is a soldier who has been fighting for a long time. It has been withdrawn from the Far East battlefield all the way here. The idea of ​​using a sudden attack to occupy Aldan and the east coast and establish a defensive position has come to naught. After thinking sharply, Lieutenant General Asilov had to admit painfully that he had lost a move, and it was very difficult. A deadly move.

"Order, the troops belonging to the group army, retreat across the board, and re-establish a defensive line on the Gedakar line!" Lieutenant General Asilov made a decisive decision and issued an absolutely correct order. The most important thing to do now is to make the group army troops, Break away from the contact with the Japanese army, and strive for a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe, he can withstand the Japanese army for a period of time. He is not too optimistic about his decision.

Lieutenant General Asilov's countermeasures are correct. There is no doubt about it. However, this is not the worst situation. With the military power of the third army, the preset ultimate move came in handy.

"Report to Your Excellency, the Soviet troops who were attacked by our artillery did not take offensive actions, but retreated across the board!" Open it, and a fierce light flashed by.

"Want to withdraw? It's too late!" Lieutenant General Chunyan said to himself.Immediately, the voice turned cold, "Order, the troops on the left and right flanks, immediately attack across the board, cut the Soviet army into several sections, divide and annihilate them!" He said hurriedly.

Lieutenant General Haruyan assembled all the artillery units of the Third Army on the frontal position, and hundreds of large-caliber artillery were lined up on a front tens of kilometers long.The muzzle continued to puff up and spit out scorching metal pellets, skimming the sky under the night sky, covering the No. 15th Army's First Army in a haze of war.

The shelling came so suddenly. The troops of the First Army of the No.15 Group Army have not had time to deploy.Japanese artillery.It fell on the head, clusters of flames shone, and the broken pieces screamed and whirled, cutting into the body of the Soviet soldier, blood and limbs, scattered on the snow-covered ground.As soon as the battle started, the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties. With so many troops crowded together, one shot fell.A few soldiers are going to be blown up.

The Japanese troops on the two wings rushed out like ghosts. The Soviet troops who were busy retreating did not expect that they would be attacked from the two wings, and immediately fell into chaos. It is unclear how many Japanese troops came out. Just as Lieutenant General Haruhiko ordered, the three armies of the No. 15 Army of the Soviet Army plus the troops directly under the Army Group were cut into several disconnected sections by the Japanese army. [

Lieutenant General Haruhiko's trump card was launched at the right time. The commanders of the two Japanese divisions on the left and right flanks commanded the troops to attack across the board. At this time, they had to admire Lieutenant General Haruyan's strength. Above, the sudden bombardment of the Imperial Artillery, when they were eager to leave the battlefield, was also the moment when they were most vulnerable to attack. power.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I received a telegram from the attacking divisions on the left and right flanks. The attack went very smoothly. The Soviet army has been divided into sections and is in the process of encircling and suppressing them!" A staff officer with a bright face hurriedly came in, and reported loudly with joy. arrive.

"Phew!" Lieutenant General Chunyan let out a long breath. Until now, he was completely relieved. The initiative on the battlefield was already in his hands. Taking a risk would bring the greatest benefits. He dared not expect extravagantly. , with the strength of the third army, it can eat 10,000+ people from a group army of the Soviet army in one bite, but it is still sure to kill more than half of the Soviet army. Somewhat violated the order of the dispatched army headquarters.

The task of the Third Army is to hold off the Soviet Army on the west bank of the Aldan River. The dispatched army headquarters did not give an order to attack the Soviet Army. The tasks of the No.15 Army Group of the Chinese Army were completed by the First Army of the Dispatch Army, which was composed of a first-class division withdrawn from the battlefield as the backbone, and veterans accounted for most of the main force of the three divisions.

The mission of the Third Army was to stop the Soviet Army and create opportunities for the First Army to wipe out the enemy. When he thought of this, Lieutenant General Haruyan felt a little resentful in his heart. His risky move was also based on this idea. "It's time, order, the two divisions and regiments in the frontal position, attack from all fronts!" He issued an order decisively.

On the night of May 15, the east bank of the Aldan River in the Far East became a battlefield of melee. The three divisions of the Japanese Far East Expedition Army's Third Army had more than 12 troops, and the Soviet Far East Front Army's No.20 Army had more than [-] troops. More than [-] soldiers, in the dark night, fought in a scuffle on a land with a radius of tens of square kilometers.

There were popping bean gunshots everywhere, and the grenade was not a burst of flames. The soldiers on both sides were mixed together, and the artillery had lost its effect. If you carefully observe the battlefield, the two sides in the scuffle are in different situations.

The Japanese army attacked purposefully and in an orderly manner. The four divisions fought in a well-organized and rhythmic manner. Two divisions attacked from the front, and two divisions attacked from the left and right flanks. They held the initiative on the battlefield. The Soviet army was passive and hasty. Lieutenant General Haruhiko had a good grasp of the situation of the No. 15 Army, and Lieutenant General Asilov, after the sudden attack on the left and right wings, He mistakenly believed that the No.15 Army was attacked by the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army.

Moreover, judging from the intensity of the battle and the scope of the battlefield, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Army has an attempt to encircle the No.15 Army. Therefore, Lieutenant General Asilov's orders to the troops belonging to the Army Group are almost the same, " Break away from contact with the Japanese army as soon as possible, retreat quickly, avoid the danger of being encircled by the Japanese army, and establish a position on the front line of Gedakar!"

One side wanted to retreat, and the other side took advantage of the advantage to fight hard. The outcome of the battle can be imagined. At dawn the next day, after a night of melee, the Soviet No.15 Army paid a huge price of casualties and finally got rid of the enemy. Over 12 troops were able to retreat to the front line of Gedakar, but only one and a half troops, more than 7 soldiers, and the remaining 5 soldiers killed more than 3 people on the spot. The rest were captured by the Japanese army.

An unprecedented victory made the third army excited, and the four division commanders who were on the front line, commanded the troops under their command, and took advantage of it, didn't care to wash off the gunpowder smoke all over their bodies. They rushed to the military headquarters at the same time. This time, they didn't come to show off their seniority and confront His Excellency Commander Haruhiko, but prepared words of flattery and admiration to express their respect for His Excellency Commander. .

On the way to the military headquarters, the heads of the four divisions met together and couldn't help sighing to each other, "Commander Haruyan took risks, but he succeeded after all. There may be elements of luck in it. For example, the Soviet army was unprepared. For example, the imperial army was well concealed, but no matter what you say, the command of the other party won a big victory, defeated an army of the Soviet army, and killed tens of thousands of people. In all fairness, if it were me, I would not dare to do this!"

When they arrived at the army headquarters, the four subdued division heads specially arranged their military uniforms. In the past, they didn’t have the respectful heart. After calling out a report, they walked into the headquarters with the steps of a soldier. , was about to speak, but saw Commander Haruhiko standing in the middle of the ground with an ugly face, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes?

What's the matter?Before the four division heads could figure out the situation, Lieutenant General Haruhiko said slowly, "Masters, you are here just in time. I just received a telegram from Lieutenant General Mio Kikuchi, the commander of the First Army. Take a look!" , shook his head, motioning for the staff officer.

Four confused division heads received the telegram. It seemed that the telegram was from Lieutenant General Mio Kikuchi, Commander of the First Army of the Japanese Far East Expedition Army, and Lieutenant General Haruhiko, Commander of the Third Army, "Commander Haruhiko, I am surprised to hear that your department has rashly launched an attack on the Soviet No.15 Army before the First Army arrived on the battlefield. I think this is a risky move. The quality and combat effectiveness of the Third Army are not worthy Take such a heavy responsibility!" [

"I would like to remind Commander Haruyan that in the order of the dispatched army headquarters, your department is to cooperate with the First Army to fight. Therefore, I order your department to stop the attack immediately and stick to the position on the west bank of the Aldan River. In addition, our First Army troops, You will arrive at the battlefield in five hours. During this period, you must not make any rash moves, so as not to disrupt the unified campaign plan of the dispatched army headquarters, otherwise, you will bear all the consequences. First Mio Kikuchi, commander of the army."

After reading the telegram, the four excited division commanders exploded with rage. Isn't this deceiving too much?It’s also contemptuous, our Third Army has already killed more than half of the Soviet Army’s No. , your first army will take five hours to arrive, damn it, by that time, the Soviets will have already run away!

You Kikuchi Mio is also a veteran of the battlefield, you can say such nonsense, I am!I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen such shameless people. The four Japanese army division commanders cursed without choice!
