On May 28, near Kyakhta, more than 900 tanks were involved in the tank battle between China and Soviet Russia. Head. In addition to the more than 100 Haw Par tanks that the vanguard army later rushed out of the Soviet Russian army, in the initial battle, both sides had more than 400 tanks each.

The vanguard army has an advantage not only in tanks, but also in numbers. What made the Russians even more depressed was that the vanguard army was not only accompanied by more than 400 multi-purpose armored vehicles with 20 mm cannons that could fight against more than 100 T-26s

The T-series tanks posed a threat, and the self-propelled guns that followed the tank units even shot down their strongest KV-2 tanks.

Since the vanguard army began to strengthen the mechanized troops, self-propelled artillery was naturally indispensable.

The period of World War II was a golden age for the development of self-propelled artillery. Many countries are equipped with a large number of them, among which Germany, Soviet Russia and the United States have a lot of classic self-propelled guns.

Although Meng Xiang, as a puppet army, didn't know much about these self-propelled guns, his subordinates had already set up a complete weapon evaluation organization, and he at least had advanced ideas such as systematization and standardization, and knew a little about the popular trend of artillery in later generations. So when arranging the armament of self-propelled guns, it directly crossed those self-propelled guns before and at the beginning of World War II.

Self-propelled guns, such as the German T1, which are now obsolete, were used for research and teaching purposes at best, and even if 10,000 T3s were produced, whether it was an early 24x diameter or a later 48x diameter, the 75 mm gun could only be adapted to the early and middle stages of World War II.

Also in the late stage of the war are a little soft and Soviet Russia's Mi Su-76 series, and the United States Mi M10, these self-propelled artillery vanguard also have equipment, but mainly use their lightness to use in the southern region, in the northern battlefield, the vanguard army is all waiting for a larger caliber, the smallest caliber is 88 mm.

In the range of 88 mm, the main self-propelled artillery, whether it is the Soviet Russia's 85 mm Su-85, 100 mm Su-100, or the Americans' 90 mm M36 and 105 mm M7 priests, Xìng can be good, but in terms of the unification of ammunition standardization, Meng Xiang hesitated for a long time before choosing 88 mm. Without it, the 71 times the diameter of the 88 mm cheetah in later generations is too famous.

This Cheetah, which has been called the best tank destroyer in World War II by Western military critics, is enough to make Meng Xiang, a puppet army, thunderous. Perhaps the 105mm may become the mainstream after World War II, but with the current technology and environment of World War II, the Cheetah is enough to overturn all tanks.

In the first battle of Kyakhta, the vanguard army followed more than 300 self-propelled guns, including 270 Cheetahs. Each 88 mm gun was easy to match the T-34's armor, and even the more than 40 KV-2 vehicles that the Russians used as the main force of defense could not block a 71 times diameter critical attack.

On that day, a record 23 KV-2 tanks were captured by the outsized Cheetah horde, and another 14 were torn apart by larger caliber grizzly bears, rhinos and even hunting tigers.

This time, the 128-mm Tiger Hunter tank destroyer with a diameter of 55 times the diameter of the tank destroyer took secrecy measures in order to ensure the progress of the weapon, and only 12 experimental vehicles were dispatched. But because it reached an off-road speed of only 17 kilometers per hour, it couldn't keep up with the assault speed of the tigers and leopards, so it could only choose to move slowly in the rear.

But its front armor thickness reached 250 mm, with the thickest armor of armored vehicles during World War II, the protection of Xìng was outstanding, and the latter came directly to the forefront of the Kyakhta tank battle, and the 128 mm guns continued to fire, and overturned the 6 KV-2 tanks that rushed up in one go, and another 13 KV-1 and 21 T-34 also became their achievements.

If it weren't for the fact that the Russians only had so many tanks, I'm afraid they would have had even more records.

The Russian tank units were able to hold up until the sun hung over the apex of the sky, and by the time the sun began to set westward, their formation was already scattered.

The wreckage of the tank, which was constantly smoking and claming, was right next to them, and their companions had not even climbed out of the tank, and some of the tanks had already exploded into parts all over the ground. And their counterattack could only be exchanged for a dull metal crash on the other side of the gunsmoke.

even though

The speed of the T tank could not escape the pursuit of the tank shells, and the tigers and leopards who turned over from the Soviet Russian army from time to time easily tore these thin iron sheets to pieces, and even one of them was panicked

At a high speed of nearly 70 kilometers, the T-7 tank penetrated the thick smoke ignited by the wreckage of its companion tank, but crashed headlong into a King Tiger who was parked and shooting in place.

As a result, that car

The T-7 tank and the three people inside it were all deformed miserably, and the passive Tiger King did nothing except slightly injure the head of one of the members in the collision and interrupt the shelling for ten minutes due to the vibration of the whole vehicle.

Soviet Russian tanks became a feast for the tankmen of the vanguard army, but unfortunately there were fewer of them.

More than 400 Soviet and Russian tanks were directly surrounded by the vanguard army, and none of them were intended to be let go, even the air can opener and even the Il-10 tank came to share the meal, and the Ju-88 also won the record of 7 tanks because of dive bombing, including 2 KV-1 tanks. There was also a message of the Iron Fist in the infantry units.

The wolf has more meat and less meat, and the Soviet Russian tank is tragic in Kyakhta. According to post-war statistics, there were only 8 Soviet and Russian tanks that escaped at night, and they did not even break through the ten figures.

On other battlefields, Soviet and Russian tanks were also one-sidedly abused. In the entire northern battlefield, more than 100 of the more than 900 tanks of Soviet Russia remained in the fiercest battles on the 28th and 29th, and half of them were wounded.

On the eastern front, more than 300 Russian tanks were also destroyed by self-propelled artillery, relying on the infantry and cavalry as the main forces in the early battle, these Russian tanks escaped a catastrophe, and only half of them were destroyed. But in stark contrast was the demise of the cavalry units.

Cavalry may be able to return to the modern battlefield in certain circumstances and occasions, but when the combined cavalry of Soviet Russia and foreign méng repeatedly succeeded in night raids, they did not take advantage of it. After daybreak, the entire XXX steppe was bathed in the sun, and the air swarm could easily search for these undisguised cavalry units.

The vanguard dispatched 4 Il-10 squadrons and more than 60 attack planes to attack in turn, allowing the cavalry's rifle bullets to bounce sparks on their bodies, constantly pursuing this group of ancient troops in the steppe at low altitude.

Later, one of the pilots of the Il-10 attack aircraft wrote in his memoirs: "I often had nightmares, and every time there was the wailing of horses!" ”

Even a meter of machine gun bullets will blow a big hole in the horse, not to mention the 20 or 23 mm machine gun shells of the Il-10. This was originally used to fight tanks, but at this time, it feels like a knife to kill chickens when used on horses. But the ammunition of the vanguard army was always open to the luxury of use.

The pilots of those attack planes were already fed with countless aerial bombs when they were training. At this time, the superiors did not make too many requests, and only the powerful 20mm cannon under him wreaked havoc among the horses. As for the people above, not to mention.

In the end, the two Thunderbolt squadrons that escorted the escort couldn't see it, and they were eager for this low-hanging fruit, and they also opened their machine guns and joined this one-sided slaughter.

The Soviet and Russian fighters roared at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the more than 200 fighters mixed with the old and the new could not escape the search of the radar station, nor could they escape the aerial dive of the Hellcat's claws and thunderbolts, especially when their more than 300 fighters were superior.

The ground forces of Soviet Russia were left on their own and with ethereal angel wings.

No matter how heroic the cavalry resisted, after falling one by one and falling into command confusion, they could only helplessly flee. But it turns out that, under normal circumstances, the horses of the four tuǐ cannot outrun with wings, even if the one with wings is a man-made product.

The slaughter continued, and after the fighters in the air ran out of ammunition and fuel, they returned directly to replenish their aircraft, and the largest Il-attack aircraft made five sorties in one day. By dusk, four of the six cavalry teams that had been fighting separately had been wiped out with the cooperation of the ground forces of the vanguard army. The remaining two remnants of the army took advantage of the night to avoid the strangulation in the air on the 28th, but as the sun rose on the 29th, they were once again faced with the anger from the air and the strangulation of the armored troops on the ground, who had not fled back by the vanguard troops everywhere.

The 20-mm cannon of the second-class multifunctional armored vehicle is in no way weaker than a strong attack aircraft in the air, and the speed is enough to catch up with any war horse.

So on the afternoon of the 29th, all the 7,000 Su méng cavalry that attacked were wiped out. The last three thousand red sè outer méng cavalry had only one memory left.

The charge of the Soviet Russian infantry, armed with submachine guns and even old-fashioned rifles, has long been proven to be a helpless end in the face of ironclad monsters. When the Russian cavalry was completely annihilated and more than 160 planes fell in the air battle, the Soviet Russian troops on the Eastern Front, which had suffered more than 40,000 casualties, were also defeated on the 29th.

After the railway line and railway station near Kruren were taken under the control of the armored forces that had come from the vanguard attack, they continued to flee eastward, and some even fled to the northeast of China by means of transportation they could grab.

There was no enemy left in the eastern part of the Outer Méng to stop the vanguard army. RO！。
