During these two days of operation, the Fifth Division not only destroyed more than 60 tanks and more than 20 Soviet-made field artillery pieces of the Mongolian army. It also captured five T-26 and BT tanks, and more than 30 BA 1, 3, and 27 armored vehicles. Seventeen Soviet-made 76-mm field guns and nine 120-mm heavy mortars.

In addition, there are seven 45-mm anti-aircraft guns, 13 82-mm mortars, and 41 Soviet-made M-1910 Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns. As for the standard equipment of the Mongol army, Mosinagan rifles, Dzhegalev light machine guns, and large quantities of ammunition were piled up. And take advantage of the situation to firmly surround the remaining nearly 10,000 Mongolian troops.

In this battle, these so-called Mongolian People's Army, in addition to the previous main forces of the 6th Cavalry Panzer Division, as well as part of the 8th Cavalry Panzer Division. The day before the arrival of the 5th Division, a tank regiment equipped with T-26 tanks, two cavalry regiments, an infantry regiment, and a frontier guard corps with a strength equivalent to a regiment were successively transferred, plus two field artillery battalions and a machine-gun battalion.

In order to regain their so-called territory, these Mongol armies can be described as pouring out. These forces are already equivalent to 80 percent of the total strength of the Mongolian People's Army, and tanks and armored vehicles are equivalent to more than 95 percent of the overall strength. If these forces are encircled and annihilated by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Mongolian People's Army will become a complete empty shelf.

Adding up the total strength, the Mongol army that entered the north of Hung Yen was almost equal to Wang Guangyu's five divisions, the first cavalry brigade, and the first independent brigade. The Mongol army had nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles, as well as more than 60 Soviet-made field guns and 120 mm heavy mortars in heavy weapons.

Its firepower was actually better than that of marching in the mountains, and the divisional artillery carried only one mountain artillery battalion, plus two field artillery batteries. The number of shells was not very sufficient for the 5th Division due to transportation reasons. In addition to light weapons, the 5th Division was far from being an opponent of these Mongol armies in terms of firepower.

Under the premise that the forces of the two sides were roughly equal and they had the advantage of heavy weapons, they were defeated. In just two days, more than half of the casualties and prisoners were killed, and the heavy weapons were basically lost. The rest of the troops were surrounded by Wang Guangyu's division, half of the cavalry brigade, and a regiment, and a place where a single shell could blow up a company. With such a result, it is no wonder that Wang Guangyu looks down on these bullshit Mongolian People's Army.

The disproportionate number of casualties in the battle made Wang Guangyu think that he was not dealing with a well-equipped army, but a group of bandits. You must know that when Wang Guangyu cleared out the bandits in the Nenjiang Military Region in the previous stage, he paid a higher price for casualties than this figure.

Wang Guangyu thinks that not to mention the Kwantung Army, even if it is replaced by the puppet Manchu Army, or even the old Northeast Army in the past, it will not be like this under the same force and firepower. The so-called offensive of these Mongolian People's Armies is, at best, a three-plank axe. After withstanding their three axes, they are basically helpless.

At the end of the first battle, Wang Guangyu and the officers and men of the Fifth Division, who participated in the battle as the main force, not only did not have the joy of victory, but felt a fist hit the garbage heap. In particular, the officers and men of the Fifth Division were quite dissatisfied. It was as if fighting with such an army was like having the reputation of one's own main division insulted.

In their opinion, this kind of army can be easily dealt with even by the troops of the military division, and they are not needed as the first-class main division at all. You must know that in the face of these Mongolian troops equipped with tanks and artillery and with absolute equipment superiority in the battle, Wang Guangyu was originally prepared to pay 2,000 casualties. Unexpectedly, the sum of the front and back was not even a quarter of the original plan.

After two days of fierce fighting, Wang Guangyu not only looked down on these Mongolian troops, but also called them garbage. Even the Soviet Red Army, which trained these Mongol troops, was somewhat disdainful. The disciple is like this, the master's level can be imagined, and it is estimated that it is not much higher.

Not only did the tactics and strategies of these Mongol troops, including the military uniforms on their bodies, copy almost everything from the Soviet army, but also all their training was also trained by the Soviet army. Then the real combat effectiveness of those Soviet troops behind them can be imagined.

No wonder the little devil shouted in a loud voice at the beginning, one division can annihilate three divisions of the Soviet army. Without their powerful fire support, according to their tactical level and the real combat effectiveness of the little devils, a real wing could defeat one of their divisions.

In Wang Guangyu's view, if his superiors allowed him to enter Mongolia, he would not need to mobilize any reinforcements for his five divisions with an independent brigade and a cavalry brigade. As long as the logistical supply is guaranteed, it is enough to sweep through the so-called Mongolian People's Republic. That's why he proposed to completely solve these Mongol troops in the encirclement.

Wang Guangyu can go all at once, and he will not give up such an opportunity even if he changes any military commander. However, as the supreme military commander of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, although he also wanted to annihilate these uninvited Mongol troops in the Hailar River Valley. But Yang Zhen knew that he couldn't be so sloppy.

This time it hurt the dog, but the owner behind it still came forward. Wang Guangyu ate up more than half of the so-called eastern cluster, which accounted for almost 80 percent of the strength of the entire Mongolian People's Army, 90 percent of the heavy equipment, and almost all of the armored forces it was equipped with, and surrounded the remaining forces. In particular, when Wang Guangyu captured more than 30 Soviet advisers in the Mongolian army in one go, it was normal for the Soviets to be unable to sit still.

On the day that Wang Guangyu launched a counterattack on all fronts, Colonel Kovalev had already made a detour through Mongolia and rushed to Hailar. He did not come on his own, but with the chief of staff of the Soviet army cluster in Mongolia. Obviously, the shape of the Mongol army in the northern province of Hung Yen made the Soviets behind them really unable to sit still.

After receiving the report from Kovalev, Yang Zhen did not rush to see them, and crossed the Hailar River to join Wang Guangyu. As soon as the two of them came, Yang Zhen knew that his plan to annihilate these Mongol troops would not be realized. The Soviets would not sit idly by and watch their captive dogs being eaten cleanly by themselves.

If these Mongolian troops who really entered the north of Khing'an were served by themselves, it would be equivalent to the total annihilation of this so-called Mongolian People's Army. The remaining First Cavalry Armored Division, which was stationed in Ulaanbaatar with only more than 3,000 troops, was simply unable to undertake the garrison of more than one million square kilometers.

With the total annihilation of these so-called Mongolian People's Army, the Soviets spent a lot of money on these armies in order to support this regime and the army, and all of them were in vain. Unless the Soviets want to abandon Mongolia completely, a large number of Soviet troops will be pinned down in Mongolia until new troops are trained to replace these annihilated Mongol troops.

On the other hand, Mongolia, with a total population of just over 700,000 people, can not say whether it can raise more than 20,000 troops, not counting equipment. And without the support of the army, can those people in Ulaanbaatar still be able to live under the buttoar? It remains to be seen whether this bayonet-based regime will be able to hold on.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Soviets, whose main focus has now been on the Western Front. As for the Soviets to spit out the fat that has already reached their mouths, it is even more impossible. The world has only seen them take advantage of the international situation and the civil strife in the surrounding countries to annex a lot of other people's territories. When have you ever seen them spit out?

To be honest, if it weren't for the Soviets behind him, Yang Zhen really wanted to wipe out all these people who fell into the well and could not be saved in one fell swoop north of the Hailar River, and even recovered Outer Mongolia, a territory in China that was torn apart by outsiders.

But reality is reality after all, and a dream can only be a dream. Unless he really intends to cut off all the external access and meet the Soviets on the battlefield. Otherwise, if you want to recover your dream of recovering Outer Mongolia, you can only keep it in your dreams, and at least you can't see the possibility of realizing it for a while.

Since the dream cannot be realized for the time being, how to use the nearly 10,000 so-called Mongolian People's Army and the dozens of Soviet advisers at hand as hostages to get as many benefits as possible from the Soviets, Yang Zhen feels that this is what he should consider more at the moment.

Judging from the current development situation, Yang Zhen can accurately judge that these things were not instructed by Moscow. It should be a decision made privately by the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia under the instigation of the Mongolian high-level. But it was not instructed by Moscow, which does not mean that Moscow is not clear.

Judging by the strength of the Soviet leader's control over the Soviet army and Outer Mongolia, any movement in Mongolia cannot be concealed from Moscow. For this action of the Mongols, although it was not necessarily at the behest of Moscow. But Yang Zhen believes that Moscow can also sit back and watch what happens. Silently, the Soviets naturally happily took advantage of it. If you don't admit it, you can launch at most two scapegoats when the time comes.

Anyway, the Soviets had the confidence to think that even if they won the war, as long as the Soviet army was still in Mongolia, it would be impossible to march to Mongolia lightly. Unless you dare to risk fighting on both sides and directly turning against the Soviet Union. It is precisely because they have pinched their own lifeblood that they have this confidence.

It's just that I'm afraid that the Soviets didn't expect that this Mongolian People's Army, which they so-called trained by them and known as the Little Soviet Army of East Asia, would be so inhibitively fighting. In just two days, nearly 20,000 well-equipped troops were swept away, annihilating most of the captured troops, and the rest were firmly surrounded.

If your dog is served by someone else, how can you take care of the home for yourself? The Mongol army fought like this, so that the Soviets could not hold their breath, and they were in a hurry to defeat these remnants and go back. Although he guessed the intentions of the Soviets, Yang Zhen was helpless.

Therefore, Yang Zhen could only shake his head slightly and sighed slightly for Wang Guangyu's request to wipe him out in one go: "Kovalev and the chief of staff of the Soviet army in Mongolia have rushed to Hailar, and the possibility of completely annihilating this Mongolian army is almost impossible at present. We beat the dog here, and someone over there couldn't hold their breath and came out. ”
