Chapter 318: Suirecha Military Region joins the battle, Ding Wei becomes the money brother
Vasilevsky had a very high attitude at the beginning. In his view, the Kwantung Army was just an empty shell with limited real combat effectiveness.
If the three armies advance together, they can easily annihilate them in the Northeast region.
But after the actual fighting broke out, the problems of large-scale mechanized warfare were exposed.
The logistical supply capacity is seriously insufficient.
First, the 170 million Far East troops relied solely on the Siberian Railway to transport supplies, although the supplies had been transported to the front.
But when launching an offensive, it is necessary to cross natural dangerous areas such as the Greater Khingan Range, Heilongjiang River, and Songhua River.
Fuel, tanks, and personnel all suffered certain degrees of damage during the march.
The number of injured and sick people alone exceeded 3000.
The Trans-Baikal Front consisted of the 36th Army, the 53rd Army, and the 17th Army. These three armies intended to cross the Greater Khingan Range and directly attack the hinterland outside the Great Wall.
After two days of fighting, the Hailar and Arshan defense lines were still not broken.
After the 17th Army arrived at Xilin Gol and came into contact with Ding Wei's troops, it took the route of the Suirecha Military Region, entered the Chifeng area, and was gathering.
The 36th Army is stuck in the Hailar Fortress area;
The 53rd Army Group is stuck in the Arxan area.
The only thing that went smoothly was the cavalry mechanized group, which entered Rehe from Wucheng and cut off the Shanhaiguan line.
After the Second Front Army crossed the Heilongjiang River, it entered the Qi City area and met Ding Wei's armored division.
The North Manchuria region reorganized five temporary divisions to continue to encircle and suppress bandits in the mountainous areas. When the Second Front Army crossed North Manchuria, it also eliminated many bandits along the way.
Those who should be shot should be shot, and those who should be arrested should be arrested.
The First Front Army fought a desperate battle at the Hulin Fortress, and the battle was the most intense.
The actual situation of the Far East Campaign for your reference
The Soviet army's main attack directions were east, west and north, with the goal of encircling the Kwantung Army in Harbin, Xinjing and Fengtian and annihilating it.
This was a typical large-scale deep combat operation, which utilized the armored advantages of tanks to gain the initiative on the battlefield and form a situation of encirclement and annihilation.
It now seems that the opening in the direction of Shanhaiguan has been closed, but the attacks from the east and west have been blocked, making this annihilation war look a bit ridiculous.
The battle in the Mudanjiang direction was the most prominent, and all the remaining old devils of the Japanese army were blocked here.
The Soviet army attacked from the front, while the Mudanjiang detachment made huge profits in the rear.
After successively conquering several large military warehouses, Zhao Gang led his team and took possession of the supplies.
Military shoes, cotton cloth, helmets, military uniforms, etc., can be directly equipped when you see them.
The stockpiled ammunition, especially mortar shells, poison gas bombs, etc., were directly equipped.
This group of people look more like the Japs than the Japs themselves.
They took advantage of the situation and used the indirect fire weapons in their hands to cover the rear of the Japanese invaders with firepower.
The poison gas bomb caught the garrison infantry regiment off guard and threw them into chaos.
In a hurry, there was no chance to get a gas mask. When the poison gas spread, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one by one.
I feel weak all over, can't lift my arms, and my movements are slow.
The troops of the detachment took the opportunity to press forward and solved the problem with bayonets. The blood flowed and gathered into a small river.
The once powerful infantry regiment was now like a lamb to be slaughtered, completely unable to resist.
"End the battle quickly and clean up the battlefield."
Zhao Gang adhered to the style of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region and ordered his troops to sweep away the Japanese army like a gust of wind.
Arnov's men contacted Ding Wei and were willing to provide 48 self-propelled ZIS-3 artillery pieces, 24 122mm howitzers, 12 152mm howitzers, and 2 artillery shells in exchange for Ding Wei's troops' support from the rear to jointly capture the Hailar front line.
The battle was entering its third day. If the Hyrule Fortress could not be breached, the entire army would be humiliated.
While other troops received combat hero titles and combat medals, they could only watch in vain.
Inspired by Anov, the 53rd Army also promised to provide a batch of military weapons, including 3000 semi-automatic rifles, 100 heavy machine guns, 30 artillery pieces, 8000 artillery shells, and 260 million bullets.
The Suirecha Military Region took over the battle and supported the Arxan Fortress.
The 36th and 53rd Group Armies are so shameless to ask for this. Just with these few weapons and equipment, it is worth it for Ding to take action.
That was a Japanese fortress, a permanent fortification that took more than ten years to build, so it cost extra.
An additional 100 Soviet fighter planes were provided as free aid to the Suirecha Military Region.
After getting the promise, it was not enough. After seeing the enemy's material transportation, Ding Wei gave the order to advance towards Xinjing and Fengtian to test the Japanese resistance on a small scale.
and many more?
After receiving artillery and aircraft support, shouldn't we attack the Japanese fortresses?
What a shit fortress! Ding Wei is famous for taking benefits but not doing his job.
The reason given was very simple. If I pressed forward towards the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Japanese would definitely withdraw troops to provide support.
And then support the attack on the fortress area.
This reason makes sense, and the Japanese actually did so.
Just as the Suirecha Military Region was mobilizing its troops, the Kwantung Army Headquarters had to withdraw part of its troops from the western front in an attempt to pass through Qi City and provide support to Harbin.
Compared with Hailar and Arshan, and compared with Hulunbuir area, the Japanese must hold on to Harbin even more.
The troops of the 107th Division of the Fourth Army came out of the fortress area and supported the city of Harbin, risking being bombed by aircraft.
Ding Wei's armored division did not take any action at all. He only arranged the temporary 1-3 division to attack from the north to intercept this force and destroy them.
The 107th Division is an old friend. We spared them when we were at the Wuchagou Fortress.
When attacking Qi City, they were spared.
It happens once or twice, but it never happens three or four times.
As soon as the 107th Division arrived in the northern part of Qi City, it encountered fierce resistance.
The Soviet army and reorganized puppet troops jointly launched an annihilation operation against them. Under the cover of Soviet tanks, the combat effectiveness of the security forces was also impressive.
Follow the tank charge and attack the Japanese division.
"When the cannon fires, carry forward the spirit of our Suirecha Military Region and bring back a portion of the spoils, no matter what they are. A lieutenant's sword is not too little, and a heavy machine gun is not too much."
"If I can snatch a Japanese woman, I will officiate his wedding."
The soldiers roared and rushed towards the Japanese invaders, but they still had a bit of bandit spirit that could not be completely eradicated in a short period of time.
The troops' momentum and attack have improved, and they are fighting seriously.
The 107th Division felt very aggrieved. They had been defending well inside the military fortress, but now they were forced to come out and die.
After most of the old Japanese soldiers and officers in the army were killed in the battle, the remaining people were unable to resist and showed signs of surrender.
The fortress area also showed signs of loosening, and tanks crossed the Japanese defense line one after another, breaking through this barrier.
On the fourth day after the Far Eastern Army's expedition, various fronts achieved initial victories and captured the Kwantung Army's border fortress area.
There were obvious signs of artillery bombardment, and the fortresses and strongholds were in ruins.
The Japanese garrison troops could no longer sustain the force and continued to shrink towards the central part of Northeast China. More than a dozen divisions gathered in Harbin, Xinjing and Fengtian.
That night, Yamada Ozo received an internal message saying that there would be important news to be announced at noon the next day and all troops needed to answer it.
