Glorious Mission 1937

Although Kulun is said to be the "capital" of the Mongolian Republic and the largest city in Outer Mongolia, it is actually just a slightly larger county in mainland China. Not to mention the small city, the permanent population is pitifully small, and more importantly It's because there hasn't been a war here for a long time, so things like city defense facilities are not worth mentioning at all.

In addition, the Republic of Mongolia was only established for more than ten years, and it has always been under the protection of the Soviet Union's wings, and its own defense capabilities are very weak.In addition, the national population is only more than 150 million, so the total military strength of Outer Mongolia is only more than 2, and it is mainly composed of cavalry, organized into 9 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry divisions, and there is also an artillery brigade and [-] tank regiment.

In this second company battle, the Mongolian army wiped out two cavalry divisions at once. Now there are less than [-] troops left in the country. Although the Soviet Union has a lot of troops stationed in Outer Mongolia, it is difficult to gather them together in a short period of time. Therefore, after the plan to march into Kulun was formulated, Chen Feng, Yang Yi and others discussed it all the time, and they always believed that there were not many battles along the way to the north, and that the big battle should break out near Kulun. The Soviet and Mongolian armies fought positional warfare and wars of attrition, and quick battles were most suitable for the eighth war zone.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to send a small number of troops with extremely strong comprehensive offensive capabilities to take on the task of going north.

6月3日下午，前敌指挥部发布命令，第八战区警卫师成为这次作战的主力，不过部队编制进行了简单的调整，调整后的警卫师下辖2个机械化步兵旅、1个装甲旅、1个陆航旅、1个防空旅、1个后勤辎重旅、1个重炮团以及1个特战大队。总兵力两万八千余人。

According to the combat plan formulated before the war, the guard division was the main force of the northward battle, mainly attacking northward along the railway line.At the same time, the 101st Division followed up and stopped advancing in a small county town 400 kilometers deep into the territory of the Mongolian Republic, and then built an airstrip there to provide a springboard for the large-scale combat fleet of the Northern Air Force.

At 6:3 p.m. on June [-], the entire guard division pedaled northward and headed for Kulun, the capital of Mongolia.

A division under Chen Feng's command suddenly went deep alone, which made the senior officials of the Soviet Union and Mongolia extremely puzzled. What does it mean that a mere division goes north?Could it be that the Chinese general intends to use this division to defeat the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces?

But the idea was quickly rejected by them.No matter how powerful the Chinese army is.It is nothing more than the strength of a division.Although the two countries have not yet completed the mobilization of troops, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces hoarded in the extreme periphery of Kulun have exceeded 8 people, including 2 tank divisions and 2 artillery brigades.No more troops are needed, the army near Kulun alone is enough to kill this Chinese infantry division.

However, what happened next was far beyond their expectations.The Chinese infantry division did indeed head north in such a swaggering manner.The whole army advances along the railway line.There are more than 30 military vehicles accompanying it.The army set off from the second company and arrived at Zamyn-Uud, the first city in southern Mongolia that afternoon.

There were not many Mongolian troops originally stationed in Zamyn Uud, because it was a border city.It is also the only way to China, so the resident force here is a cavalry regiment with a total force of more than [-] people. In addition to the security police and other armed forces in the city, the total force reached [-]. Yu people.

However, due to the defeat of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces some time ago, even though the vast majority of the Soviet-Mongolian forces were wiped out by Chen Feng's troops, a small number of fish that slipped through the net still fled here. According to the data reported by Lili to the Mongolian high-level, as of noon on June 6, the total number of Zamyn-Uud defenders plus the rout troops gathered back has exceeded 3.

The Chairman of the Mongolian Council of Ministers and the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army, Horlo Choibalsan, instructed Bayinbaoli to immediately arm all the defeated troops, regardless of whether it was the Soviet Army or the Mongolian Army, to be included in the battle of the Zamyn-Uud garrison. At the same time, the establishment of the Zamyn-Uud garrison was upgraded to a brigade.

When he learned that a division under Chen Feng was going north to attack Zamyn-Uud, Bayinbaoli was shocked. He knew that with this little force in his hands, he could not fight against Chen Feng's troops in the field, and could only rely on Zamyn-Uud's city defense. The fortifications resisted.Although in his opinion, this is an extremely stupid decision, after all Zamyn-Uud is only a small city. Although there is a city wall, it is less than three meters high and less than two meters wide. Can't afford a few shots.

But Choibalsan ordered him to stay in place for a day and a night, when reinforcements would go south to reinforce them.At the same time, if they stay here for an extra day, they can buy an extra day for the Soviet Union and Mongolia. After the heavy army group from the Soviet Far East arrives, it will be time for them to counterattack the Northern Serbia Province.

According to Qiao Bashan and others, although the defenders in Zamyn-Uud are far less than the Chinese army, they are better than fighting on the mainland, and the soldiers' will to resist is relatively tenacious. It is very laborious to attack the army, which can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack. Saishanda, which is the closest to Zamyn Uud, is a cavalry brigade stationed by the Mongolian army. will be there.

And Ulaanbaatar (Kulun) is not very far from Zamyn-Uud. If it is a train march, it will take at most two and a half days to reach Zamyn-Uud. Ude, the rest will be handled by the follow-up army.

However, the plan can never keep up with the changes. After Chen Feng's troops arrived in Zamyn-Uud, just when Bayin and the others believed that a bitter battle was inevitable, about a hundred soldiers stationed at the south gate mutinied, and Luo Man, who was in charge of the south gate, mutinied. Major De was killed, and then opened the city gate to let Chen Feng's troops in. In the face of absolute strength, nearly [-] Mongolian troops persisted for less than an hour before they were all wiped out.

When the news reached Ulaanbaatar, Qiao Bashan and others were shocked. The Mongolian army would mutiny on the battlefield, and even killed the Soviet commander on the front line, letting Chen Feng's troops in. This problem was serious.This is not just as simple as joining the enemy, it is also a big challenge for the relationship between Summons and Mongolia.

After all, no matter in terms of geographical relationship or ethnic structure, Mongolia is still closer to China, and the main ethnic group in Mongolia is the Mongolian nationality. They were members of the same country more than ten years ago, and even now they worship an ancestor.It has nothing to do with the Slavic peoples of the Soviet Union. If it weren't for the coercion and lure of Tsarist Russia, how could Outer Mongolia be separated from China.

Moreover, both Choibalsan and the Soviet government also know that not everyone agrees with the Mongolian government at this time. If it were not for the presence of Soviet troops stationed here all year round, those opponents would have to deal with it carefully. The most serious national crisis in thousands of years is not the best time to return to China, so those people will restrain themselves a little.

But now with the war between Chen Feng's troops and the Soviet Union, I'm afraid those people will not miss this opportunity, maybe those soldiers were caused by those opponents.There are more than 100 soldiers rebelling in Zamyn-Uud. How many opponents are there in the entire Mongolian army of more than 01?In addition, the victim was not only an officer, but also a Soviet officer, and the chain reaction triggered was not at 30:[-]. Therefore, Choibalsan immediately telegraphed Stalin, hoping to personally talk to General Zhukov, the former commander-in-chief of the Soviet army. .

However, neither Choibalsan nor Stalin thought that this matter was a misunderstanding from beginning to end. Those soldiers had nothing to do with the so-called opposition faction. Those soldiers were Chinese at all, and they were Mongolians under Chen Feng's command. special forces.

When the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces were defeated, Chen Feng sent a special warfare squadron to infiltrate the defeated Mongolian army. Their intention was to find senior officers of the Soviet and Mongolian army who were alone or retreating, and at the same time to spy on the enemy. They did not expect to enter directly. Zamyn Uud.

It’s also because the Soviet-Mongolian coalition has no combat experience. It is extremely important to identify the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, and even dig out hidden traitors from within. For example, the eighth war zone has an internal security department to deal with these things.However, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces have always regarded Japan as their main opponent.The Japanese are still easy to identify. After all, those who are all under 1.6 meters five and the disgusting Rendan beard are the most obvious features. In addition, the Japanese don’t wear underwear, they only wear things like diapers. It’s really hard to identify. Take off your pants when you come out, whether the Japanese can tell at a glance.

But the Chinese are different, especially those Mongolian men of Chinese nationality. They are of the same nationality as the defectors and separatists from Outer Mongolia, and they are not too different in appearance, language and living habits. difference.Not to mention that they never expected to fight against the Chinese army, nor did they have experience in dealing with spies who wore the same military uniform and spoke the same language. Even if they were prepared, it would be difficult to identify them.

In addition, special forces are a new type of arms. Whether it is Germany, Japan or the Soviet Union, they are still experimenting, and their understanding of this new type of arms is very limited.The Japanese are fine. After all, they have suffered so much. Now when a war is fought, the first thing to do is to guard against the sneak attack and infiltration of the Chinese special forces.

But the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia armies were different. They fought against Chen Feng's troops for the first time. They didn't even know that there was such an army in China, and they didn't have the opportunity and experience to fight against this army, so it was very easy. Taking advantage of this loophole, Chen Feng's troops easily captured Zamyn-Uud and cast a little shadow on the relationship between the Soviet Union and Mongolia. (To be continued..)
