Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 472: Bloody Battle in Ulaanbaatar

After Chen Feng's troops broke through the two lines of defense of the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces, Zhukov became more worried about the prospect of the defense of Ulaanbaatar.Although there are still 12 troops in his hands that have not been used, the defenders deployed on the outskirts of Ulan Bator are all the real elites of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, almost all the heavy weapons have been deployed to Ulan Bator With regard to the periphery, if these lines of defense are breached by the Chinese, then the remaining people are nothing but dishes on the Chinese table, nothing more.

However, the matter has come to this point, whether Zhukov wants to fight or not, it is too late to retreat. After all, the Chinese bayonet has already reached the chest of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army.

July 7th marks the third anniversary of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.At three o'clock in the morning on this day, the day's battle had just ended. In the previous day's battle, Chen Feng's army, air and tanks jointly dispatched to destroy two Soviet tank divisions. The first line of defense, if Zhukov hadn't mobilized reinforcements from four divisions from behind at the critical moment, the third line of defense would have already fallen.

Just after the battle, both the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces and Chen Feng's troops were exhausted, and many of them didn't care about eating at all, and fell asleep peacefully with their comrades' corpses on their pillows.

However, Zong Mod's former enemy headquarters was still brightly lit, and the faces of the senior officers coming in and out were extremely dignified, as if something major had happened.

Entering the combat command room, Chen Feng and others were all there. The map of Outer Mongolia laid out on the table was covered with military icons marked with pencils everywhere, which dazzled the viewers.

At this time.Yang Yi hurried in and said: "Commander, Colonel Zhou just sent a telegram saying that they are ready, and they will act immediately as long as the commander orders."

"Well, what about the other troops?" Chen Feng did not rush to give orders, but continued to ask about the preparations of other troops.

"It's all ready, but the troops that can participate in the attack tonight are only 3 infantry regiments and some technical arms. The others are exhausted now... In addition, our supplies are not much, according to the quartermaster The reported report stated that if there is a fierce battle like today, the supplies can last up to a week, and the ammunition can last up to 4 days!" Yang Yi replied.

"The strength of the three regiments is a bit small. If only three regiments participate in the attack, they can take down the fourth line of defense at most. They will definitely not be able to enter Ulan Bator. There should be one guard regiment each from the Guard Division and the 101st Division that did not participate in the battle. Transfer these two regiments up. In addition, our guard regiment has not participated in any battles during this period, and they will be dropped to Ulan Bator immediately as a reserve team. They are ready to participate in the battle at any time."

"As for the supplies, don't think about it. If today's battle is won, the war will end. No amount of weapons and ammunition will make much sense, so tonight's battle is very important to our army."

After thinking for a few minutes, Chen Feng said again: "The technical arms are relatively not very tired, and the armored and artillery units are also ordered to fight. Once Zhou Tiedan and the others succeed, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces are bound to panic. It is the best opportunity for the army to cover up and kill him, and it must not be missed. Immediately send a telegram to Ma Cao and tell them that if anyone messes things up, come and see them!"

"Yes"

"It's a quarter past 3:3, send a report to Zhou Tiedan and Ma Cao, and launch an attack on time at [-]:[-]!" Feng Chen said coldly.

"Yes"

At this time, the joint headquarters of the Soviet-Mongolia coalition forces was also brightly lit. Unlike the tense atmosphere in the former enemy headquarters in the eighth war zone, the atmosphere here was obviously a little relaxed.After all, they have just repelled the fierce Chinese attack for more than 20 hours in a row, and everyone will inevitably relax after the war.

However, as the supreme commander of the Far Eastern Front, Zhukov is frowning at this time. Today he is very restless and restless, but he doesn't know why. The more he is like this, the more Zhukov feels that there is a problem.Although this uneasiness without any theoretical basis is just a personal subconscious judgment, as a veteran who has been in the army for more than 20 years, this sixth sense directly belonging to the soldier has saved his life on the battlefield, so Zhukov believes in his own feelings.

"Apanashenko, how many troops did the Chinese army invest in attacking today!" Zhukov asked with a frown.

"Reporting to Comrade Zhukov, during today's battle during the day, Chen Feng's troops have invested a total of three infantry regiments on the southern battlefield, as well as about 3 tanks, 300 artillery pieces, and 500 strange small planes. On the eastern battlefield, Chen Feng's troops also deployed three infantry regiments and the same number of technical units!" Apanashenko replied respectfully.

"According to our observations during this period, the Chinese army on the outskirts of Ulan Bator should have two divisions, and they should be the most elite guard division under Chen Feng's command and the 2st Division. The actual strength of the troops is far beyond one division. We have recorded more than 101 infantry regiments with different numbers. According to this calculation, the two Russian infantry divisions under Chen Feng's command should each have at least 7 infantry regiments under their jurisdiction. Today they have invested 4 regiments, which means that there are still at least 6 regiments that have not entered the battle."

Before Zhukov finished speaking, the deputy commander, Shtern, interjected, "Could it be that Chen Feng wants to rely on these two infantry regiments to attack us?"

Zhukov said: "Not necessarily, if the Chinese really plan to attack, then the strength is not just two regiments, don't forget that each division should have at least one guard regiment, or even a guard brigade. Troops generally do not participate in battles, they should be full of energy!"

"Even if those troops are counted, there are only 4 or 5 infantry regiments, and there are more than 5 soldiers at full strength. You must know that our front-line troops have a full [-] divisions. How could they succeed!" Steln said again.

"Chen Feng is really a bit of a villain. He is a person who cannot be inferred by common sense. If we use common sense to judge him, then we will definitely suffer a big loss." Zhukov said.

"Evil door???"

"Yes, besides this word, I don't know any other words that can describe that Chinese general. I have studied several amazing performances of this Chinese general in the Sino-Japanese War in detail in the past few days. Apart from using the art of war to describe it There are only words like evil and weird to describe it, and the Chinese general seems to be able to predict many things, so we can't be careless!" Zhukov said.

Shteln was silent for a while and said: "No matter what conspiracy the Chinese have, we just need to order the troops to strengthen their defenses. According to the information we have received, the Chinese are running out of supplies. We will persist for another five days at most and they will kill you." You have to retreat!"

"What Shteln said makes sense. Regardless of whether the Chinese really have a conspiracy or not, we should strengthen our defenses so as not to respond to all changes! Pass my order: All troops take turns to rest tonight, and all soldiers are not allowed to Take off your clothes, put all your weapons and equipment within easy reach, and you, Stern, personally select 500 soldiers to form a supervising team, and if anyone dares to disobey orders, they will be executed immediately on the spot!"

"Yes!"

In fact, Zhukov's premonition was very accurate. Chen Feng was indeed planning to sneak attack the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces tonight. This war had been dragging on for over a month, and it was time to end it.After arriving in Ulaanbaatar, Chen Feng originally planned to completely crush the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces on the opposite side, but found that this was too difficult. The main reason was that Zhukov really deserved to be a famous general, and he commanded very well. If you fight recklessly, you can win, but the casualties are too great.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chen Feng has been looking for loopholes in Ulan Bator's outer defense. Unfortunately, Zhukov took everything into consideration when arranging Ulan Bator's defense, and he has not found a suitable starting point.

A few days ago, Zhou Tiedan, the commander of the special forces, reported that they found a shortcut to climb up under the cliff in the north of Ulaanbaatar. The most important thing was that there was no Soviet and Mongolian troops guarding it, which made Chen Feng suddenly enlightened.

According to the topographic map drawn by the special forces, Chen Feng discovered that the northern part of Ulaanbaatar is full of high cliffs. The highest point of these cliffs is several hundred meters, and ordinary people cannot climb them at all, so the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces are not here at all. Garrison.

But that's only relative to ordinary people. For Chen Feng's troops, a cliff of a few hundred meters is not an insurmountable natural moat. You must know that the lowest point of the cliff is only 60 meters. For the special forces who have undergone strict training It is so insignificant.

Therefore, Chen Feng personally formulated the sneak attack plan for tonight. According to this plan, Chen Feng will launch continuous attacks on the positions of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces on July 7, with the intention of dragging down the spirit of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces, and then send a special brigade to sneak attack on Soviet Union in the middle of the night. The northern position of the Mongolian coalition forces is mainly to destroy the headquarters of the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces. At the same time, the ground troops cooperate with the attack. As long as the defense line in the northwest area is defeated, the situation of the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces on the southeast and southeast will be in danger. They will face Chen Feng. The troops are in a dangerous situation of being attacked from two sides, or even three sides.

Chen Feng didn't intend to wipe out the 20 Soviet-Mongolian allied forces on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. After all, Zhukov had more than three times as many soldiers as him, so he might suffer from indigestion if he ate them. Killing it, wouldn't that force Stalin to fight himself desperately? It's not worthwhile.But just to defeat all these troops on the outskirts of Ulan Bator and take Ulan Bator, the Soviet Union will definitely propose peace talks, and then it only needs to sharpen its sword to the Soviet Union.
