The commander of the 1st Russian Far Eastern Front, Willistov, was angry with the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army, the two commanders of the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army, Narmysky and Chedanov, for not digging more anti-artillery holes in the position according to his orders.

At this time, I heard the commander of the 9th Army, Gexam, sigh that the Northern Army must have more than 1,000 large-caliber artillery pieces, how can this battle be fought. Willistov couldn't help but be equally shocked that the artillery fire of the Northern Army was so fierce, at least more than double the artillery fire encountered outside Dongning last time, so that the artillery of the First Front, which had been strengthened, suffered heavy losses in the artillery battle.

The commander of the Russian army did not know that his First Front Army in the Far East had received reinforcements from the Far Eastern Theater, and Dongning City had received more reinforcements, and Lin Daxin came to Dongning with nearly 80,000 troops from the Guards Division and the Second Division, which did more than double the number of artillery of the Dingbei Army.

Seeing that the artillery fire of the Dingbei Army was so fierce, Willistov's confidence in preparing to destroy the main force of the Dingbei Army in Dongning City on the border line was shaken, and he had the idea of retreating, because he knew that the Dingbei Army still had powerful tanks, and his tank armored division had been completely lost in the last battle outside Dongning City, and if there was no artillery blow to the tanks of the Dingbei Army, in a plain area like the border line, the charge of the tank group of the Dingbei Army, his infantry would not be able to resist at all.

Willistov said to Gexam in a deep voice: "It seems that our idea of destroying the main force of the Dingbei Army in Dongning City on the border line cannot be realized. Now the question is whether our 1st Far Eastern Front will be able to return to the Twin Cities? ”

As the commander of the main Russian army, Gexam still had a relatively accurate grasp of the battlefield, and he also understood that there was no artillery advantage. Now the 1st Far Eastern Front was already in danger, so he said in a deep voice: "Commander, it seems that we have to retreat, my 9th Army can stay and cover the retreat of the entire Front!" ”

Willistov shook his head, he would not let his sons, the 9th Army and his own 4th Army, take on dangerous cover missions.

As an experienced commander. Willistov immediately ordered the Russian staff officers in the headquarters: "Convey my orders to the commander of the 22nd Army, Narmysky, the commander of the 23rd Army, Chedanov, and the commander of the 28th Army, Tovikalsky, and let their three armies hold their positions." Resist the attack of the Dingbei Army until at least 4 p.m., and then the three corps retreat to the Twin Cities, and those who disobey the military order are engaged in military law. ”

Willistov gave the difficult task of blocking the attack to the 22nd and 23rd armies, as well as the 28th army, which was behind the 22nd and 23rd armies. These 3 corps had just joined the 1st Front Army in the Far East.

Then he said to Gexam: "The 4th, 9th, 27th and 2 cavalry corps will immediately retreat to the Twin Cities!" The rest of the artillery also retreated! ”

Soon, the 1st Far Eastern Front, in addition to the 3 armies in front, began to retreat to the Twin Cities.

Lin Daxin dug out the observation port of the temporary headquarters in a hill, and saw through the guò telescope that the forward positions of the Russian army had been bombarded by their own artillery fire, and the Russian artillery had been dumbed, put down the binoculars, and said to the adjutant beside him: "It's time, order the artillery fire to extend back, and the infantry of the second division, with the armored division, will attack the Russian army." ”

Then the artillery of the Dingbei Army began to extend to the positions behind the Russian army. The tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division, with the cooperation of the infantry of the second division, rushed to the forward positions of the Russian army.

The 22nd and 23rd armies in the forward positions of the Russian army have suffered heavy losses from the bombing, and many Russian soldiers have lost their bones from the heavy artillery fire. The forward positions were strewn with severed limbs, and the ground turned red.

There are not many Russian troops left alive in the front positions, and most of the remaining Russian soldiers of the 22nd and 23rd armies have retreated to the positions of the 28th Army behind under the leadership of the two army commanders.

The two commanders of the wolf bèi arrived at the headquarters of the Russian 28th Army, and the commander of the 28th Army, Towikalsky, said to them with a very bad face at this time: "The other units of the First Front in the Far East have retreated, and even the remaining artillery of our three armies has been withdrawn. Commander Willistov made it necessary for our 3 corps to block the Dingbei Army until 4 o'clock this afternoon, and our 3 corps could retreat. ”

The commander of the 22nd Army, Narmysky, said hatefully: "Willistov, this bastard. Isn't this abandoning our 3 armies? Let's be substitutes here, and they've all fled back to the Twin Cities! ”

The commander of the 23rd Army, Chedanov, also said indignantly: "I am going to Governor Aleksayev to complain to Willistov that bastard that he has taken our three new regiments to the First Front of the Far East as outcasts. ”

Towikalsky looked at the two indignant commanders and smiled bitterly and said, "Let's figure out how to get through this difficulty!" Who let us now be transferred to the 1st Far Eastern Front, and do not want to go to a court-martial, we can only follow the orders of Willistov! How many of your 2 armies have withdrawn? ”

The two commanders of the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, and the commander of the 22nd Army, Narmysky, first said: "I really didn't expect the artillery fire of the Dingbei Army to be so fierce, I knew that we would work harder yesterday and dig more anti-artillery holes, and less than half of the soldiers in our 22nd Army who have withdrawn to your 28th Army position may be left." ”

The commander of the 23rd Army, Chedanov, said gloomily: "Our 23rd Army has suffered even heavier losses, and it may be that less than 10,000 people have retreated to the positions of the 28th Army. ”

The three army commanders discussed it and decided to comply with the order of the commander Willistov, relying on the fortifications of the 28th Army, as well as the fortifications left behind by the withdrawal of other units of the First Front Army in the Far East, to form four positions, each of which was hundreds of meters apart, and the four positions could have a length of nearly 3 kilometers, with the 28th Army guarding the first and second lines, the 22nd Army guarding the third line, and the 23rd Army guarding the fourth line.

The three commanders of their corps discussed and resisted the Dingbei Army until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the three corps covered each other and retreated to the Twin Cities behind. After that, the two commanders of the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army hurriedly organized the troops to continue to retreat to the rear, while the commander of the 28th Army, Tovikalsky, ordered his own 3 divisions and 1 division to guard the first line of positions. 1 division guarded the second line of positions, and 1 division served as a reserve.

When the three Russian commanders finished discussing the split action, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division of the Dingbei Army, followed by the officers and soldiers of the second division, had already rushed to the positions of the original Russian 22nd Army and the 23rd Army, and the remaining Russian soldiers who did not have time to retreat were powerless to resist at all. Then the Panzer Division and the 2nd Division did not stop and continued to the positions behind the Russian army. That is, the first line of positions guarded by the Russian 28th Army launched an attack.

"Boom-boom-boom-" After the tank group approached the Russian position, it continued to bombard the Russian position with tank guns. Then the machine guns on the tanks and the machine guns on the armored vehicles began to strafe the positions of the Russian troops. Tank groups and hundreds of armored vehicles burst into Russian positions while firing heavily. The officers and men of the 2nd Division followed closely behind the tanks and armored vehicles, also firing and following the charge.

The most powerful weapon on the Russian army's position is only the Makqin heavy machine gun, but the bullets of these Makqin heavy machine guns cannot penetrate the steel plates of tanks and armored vehicles at all, and the Russian army is also equipped with a Russian grenade that imitates the Northern Army, and the power is not small, but the explosion of a single grenade is like tickling tanks and armored vehicles, and the Russian army on the position is powerless to prevent the tanks and armored vehicles from approaching.

With a charge, the Panzer Division and the 2nd Division rushed into the first line of fortifications guarded by 1 division of the 28th Russian Army. After that, the battle was basically one-sided, and the officers and men of the 2nd Division, under the cover of fire from tanks and armored vehicles, began to exterminate the Russian soldiers on the first line of Russian positions.

Li Qingyao's 311th Regiment had been following the tanks and armored vehicles to the front of the entire Second Division. Li Qingyao himself also charged with the troops with a submachine gun.

After rushing to the first line of positions of the Russian 28th Army, Li Qingyao shouted loudly: "Use guns and grenades to solve Lao Maozi!" Don't waste time by fighting bayonets! After saying that, a shuttle of bullets killed 2 Russian soldiers who rushed over with bayonets.

The officers and men of the 311th Regiment began to quickly clear the Russian soldiers on the position under Li Qingyao's orders, and the officers and soldiers of the other divisions of the Second Division also gave full play to their firepower superiority and did not fight with the Russian army with bayonets. Some Russian soldiers wanted to carry forward the advantages of the Russian army and fight bayonets with the Dingbei Army to start a white-knuckle battle. As a result, the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army who did not approach the Dingbei Army with bayonets were killed on the position.

The army commander, Towikalsky, saw the Dingbei Army lightly rush into the first line of positions. The division guarding the position could not resist the combination of tanks, armored vehicles and infantry of the Dingbei Army at all, and immediately sent another division as a reserve to support the first line of positions from behind the second line.

Zhang Daxiong, the commander of the armored division, in his No. 1 T1 heavy tank, saw a large number of Russian soldiers rushing from the second line of positions of the Russian army to the first line with bayonets, Zhang Daxiong ordered into the car radio intercom: "I am the No. 1 car, so the tanks and armored vehicles continue to attack forward and destroy the Russian troops rushing over." ”

Nearly 10,000 charging Russian soldiers crashed headlong into a group of steel chariots, but unfortunately the Russian army's head was not hard enough, and the head was directly hit and bled out, and fell under the powerful fire of tanks and armored vehicles one by one, leaving the corpses of thousands of Russian soldiers, and the remnants of the Russian army retreated to the second position.

The troops of the 1st division of the Russian army on the first line of positions were quickly wiped out by the 2nd Division of the Dingbei Army, and then the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Division continued to follow the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division and continued to attack the second line of positions of the Russian army.

The second line of positions of the Russian army did not last long, and was broken by the armored forces and infantry of the Dingbei Army, and the commander of the Russian 28th Army, Towikalsky, retreated to the third line with the remnants of the troops......

By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the 4 positions established by the Russian blocking force were broken through under the joint attack of the armored division and the second division, and the 3 commanders of the Russian army led the remnants of nearly 20,000 Russian troops in the end, and took the initiative to abandon the fourth position and fled desperately in the direction of the twin cities, but at this time they had no way to run, it turned out that Lin Daxin sent 200 black wolf tanks of the armored brigade of the Guards Division before attacking their 4 positions, and went around behind them, ready to attack them from behind the Russian army.

Lin Daxin did not know that most of the main forces of the First Front Army of the Russian Far East had retreated, and he was preparing to annihilate the entire First Front Army of the Russian Far East in a war.

As a result, nearly 20,000 Russian troops were surrounded by armored brigades of armored divisions and guards divisions on an unobstructed plain.

As soon as the 3 commanders of the Russian army were combined, they couldn't fight and fight, and they couldn't escape and escape, and there was only one way left. So nearly 20,000 Russian troops, under the leadership of three army commanders, handed over their weapons to the Dingbei Army and chose to surrender.

In addition to the Russian soldiers captured in the original forward positions of the 22nd Army and the 23rd Army and the four positions established by the Russian 3rd Army, the Dingbei Army captured a total of more than 30,000 Russian officers and soldiers in this battle on the border line, and the Dingbei Army took advantage of the advantages of artillery units and armored units to basically annihilate the Russian 22nd Army, the Russian 23rd Army and the Russian 28th Army in a structured manner, and only a small number of artillery of these three armies followed the main force of the First Front Army in the Far East to retreat in the direction of the Twin Cities.
