Chapter 704: The First Round of Battle
In front of the soldiers' position, a large number of Mongolian soldiers in the distance were rushing towards the soldiers' positions with weapons, and seeing so many people rushing over, and receiving orders from their own regiment commanders, the soldiers were ready for battle. "The domain name of this site is the point, please remember the domain name of this site!"
On the soldiers' positions, a large number of machine guns were all erected, one by one, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed at the Mongolian soldiers who were rushing in the distance.
Regardless of the column, each infantry squad was equipped with a two-man squad machine gun (one shooter, one ammunition man) that was fed by a 200-round chain for extremely ferocious firepower, and each infantry squad was also armed with a sniper rifle (a two-man sniper team) and eight AK-47 assault rifles, which were standard for every infantry squad of the 36th Army.
The soldiers with AK-47 sniper rifles had already aimed their guns at the Mongolian troops who were rushing over, and within a few minutes, the thousands of Mongolian troops were only three or four hundred meters away from the soldiers' first line of defense, and they were about to reach the range of AK-47 assault rifles.
The first line of defense was a battalion of several hundred soldiers, and at this time, the soldiers of the first battalion were staring at the Mongol troops who were getting more and more armed, and as soon as their battalion commander gave an order, the soldiers would open fire one after another.
These Mongol armies are getting closer.
Behind these Mongol troops, on a Gobi sand dune about a kilometer away, several Soviet officers were carefully observing with binoculars, these Mongol troops were only tentative attacks, and the purpose of the Soviet army was to find out the strength of the 36th Army opposite.
After all, all sorts of things about the 36th Army are just rumors. These Soviet troops had never fought against the 36th Army.
The Soviet army was also too insidious, and the tentative attack actually allowed these Mongolian troops to go up, and these Mongolian troops served as cannon fodder this time.
However, the entire Mongolian regime was supported by the Soviet Union, and the officers of the Mongolian army could only obey the orders of the Soviet army, and asked them to rush forward, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front.
Soon, the Mongols, charging ahead, completely came into range of the fighters' AK-47 assault rifles, and the fighters began to fire.
"Comrades! Hit me hard! ”
Suddenly, machine guns on the positions of a battalion. The AK-47 assault rifles fired fiercely at once, and all kinds of gunfire immediately became loud, and the fighters were very fierce, which these Mongolian soldiers never expected.
Before the charging Mongol army could react, it was immediately hit in a large area, and the rest of the Mongol army saw this, and they fell down one after another, lying on the ground and began to fight back.
The purpose of the Mongol army was to find out the firepower of the fighters, not to rush to the positions of the fighters. Now, see the fighters firing fiercely. The Mongols immediately stopped advancing and began firing at the warriors.
Several officers of the Mongolian army also lay down, two or three hundred meters apart, looking at the soldiers' positions with binoculars, only to see that the soldiers' positions were full of automatic weapons.
When these Mongolian officers saw this scene, they were secretly frightened, especially when they saw the soldiers around them being killed continuously, these Mongolian officers suddenly retreated.
Just two or three minutes. The Mongol army suffered a lot of casualties, at least two or three hundred, and if the battle continued like this, it would not take more than ten minutes for the more than 1,000 Mongol troops to be wiped out.
At this time, a lot of mortars on the positions of the fighters also began to shoot, mortar shells one after another. The explosion caused the sand and rocks in front of it to fly, and the area where the Mongolian army was located was filled with gunsmoke, and the Mongolian army was beaten so that it could barely raise its head.
Seeing this, these Mongolian officers immediately ordered their troops to retreat immediately. If it continues to fight, there is no point in it, and I believe that the firepower of the 36th Army in front of this position has already been clearly seen by those Soviet troops behind.
"Withdraw! Evacuate !! ”
Suddenly, the remaining Mongol troops began to retreat, and after a few minutes, these Mongol troops retreated cleanly, leaving many corpses of Mongol soldiers in front of the soldiers' positions.
Seeing these Mongolian troops retreating, many soldiers burst into bursts of cheers, the battle just now was too easy for the soldiers, the strength of these Mongolian troops was even worse than the little devils, and the soldiers felt no pressure at all.
Distance.
The Soviet officers who were holding binoculars to observe were also secretly frightened at this time, and these people never expected that the strength of the 36th Group Army was even more powerful than the legend.
These people thought in their hearts, if they had changed to their own troops to defend just now, these Mongol troops would definitely not be as easy to fight as the 36th Group Army just now.
It seems that the strength of the 36th Army needs to be reassessed.
Battles like this took place in front of the 2nd and 4th columns, and the Mongol army dispatched tens of thousands of men in this tentative attack, divided into several teams, and launched attacks on the various positions of the fighters.
However, these battles came and went quickly, and soon, the Mongol army retreated like a tide after paying a lot of casualties.
Joint command of the 2nd and 4th columns.
The two columns had already met a few days ago, and according to Zhang Yunfei's request, the headquarters of the two columns were united, worked together, and commanded the battle on the front line in a unified manner.
The joint command center was set up in the depths of the soldiers' positions, in an inconspicuous low-lying Gobi area, and more than a dozen large field tents, more than a dozen off-road vehicles, and more than a dozen armored command vehicles constituted this simple command headquarters.
In a field tent, Comrade Chen Erwa, commander of the 2nd Column, and Comrade Luo Jihua, commander of the 4th Column, were analyzing the situation on the front line.
Half an hour earlier, a large number of Mongol troops had launched an attack on their positions, and the two had already received a report from the front, which was completely expected by the two men, and the two knew from the inspection of the forward positions that the battle would soon begin.
"Lao Luo! It seems that the Soviet army still can't hold back, and the Mongol army has launched a tentative attack to test our hypocrisy. ”
"Haha! Lao Chen, I'm afraid that Lao Maozi can't calm down now, they definitely didn't expect that our firepower would be so fierce. ”
The two talked and laughed, and they didn't pay attention to this tentative attack at all.
The strength is there, anyway, sooner or later it will be exposed, and the two of them are not worried about the fierce firepower of the soldiers, the 36th Group Army has a lot of cards, and the ferocious firepower of the infantry regiments is only the tip of the iceberg.
However, I believe that this alone may make many Soviet officers unable to sleep.
A major staff officer next to him, seeing the relaxed appearance of the two of them, still reminded a little worriedly: "Two chiefs, according to intelligence, it is the main force of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia that is fighting us, and the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia has a lot of artillery, if they carry out large-scale artillery bombardment of our positions, I am afraid that we will lose a lot." ”
The major's concern seemed to be reasonable, the Soviet 1st Army in Mongolia did have a lot of artillery, some of which may be 100 mm heavy artillery, and if the Soviets carried out a large-scale artillery bombardment of the soldiers' positions, this would indeed be a very tricky matter.
However, as soon as the major staff officer finished speaking, the two commanders looked at each other, and the two couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Chen Erwa smiled and said: "Xiao Wang, don't worry about this, although the Soviet army has a lot of artillery, we also have a lot of heavy artillery, this point, presumably the Soviet army also knows, both sides have a large number of artillery, and the Soviet army does not dare to open fire rashly." ”
As soon as Commander Chen finished speaking, the major staff officer suddenly came to his senses, and his face immediately turned red.
At this time, the major chief of staff also understood that the Soviet army would definitely not dare to open fire rashly, and as soon as the Soviet army opened fire, the Soviet artillery positions would be immediately exposed, and they would immediately be subjected to retaliatory shelling by their own heavy artillery groups, and the Soviet artillery positions would be destroyed immediately.
After all, heavy artillery with more than 100 mm has a long range, especially a 155 mm howitzer, which can easily hit 10 kilometers away.
All the wiser way is to stay put, hide the position of the artillery position, and prevent the enemy's shelling.
The two commanders of the 2nd and 4th columns discussed the battle situation in the command headquarters and exchanged some opinions, and the two estimated that the Soviet troops would come up in person next.
The strength of the Soviet army can be several grades better than that of the Mongolian army, and it may be almost the same as the strength of their own troops, and the two attach great importance to the next battle, and the two have begun to give orders to the tank regiments and mechanized infantry regiments, ordering everyone to be ready to attack at any time, and to support the operations of the infantry regiments at any time.
The commanders of the two columns of the 36th Army were discussing the situation of the battle, and several high-ranking members of the Soviet 1st Army were also meeting to discuss the next battle.
In the first round of the battle just now, although the Soviet army did not go up in person, the Soviet army also felt gloomy, after all, the Mongolian army was also considered to represent the Soviet army in a tentative attack.
Several high-ranking members of the 1st Soviet Army sat together, and their faces were somewhat solemn or dignified, and several people had already decided that the 1st Army would go into battle in person.
The Soviets were also eager to save face.
This time, the Soviet army was preparing to dispatch a tank division, and with the strength of a tank division and the strength of an infantry division, the Soviet army was ready to launch a large-scale attack on the 36th Army head-on.
The 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia is equipped with a tank division, a mechanized division, an artillery division, several infantry divisions, and auxiliary arms, and the number of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Army in Mongolia has reached nearly 100,000.
