Revolution 1938

Chapter 119 The Artillery of Hassan Lake

() The historical Battle of Lake Hassan lasted 13 days from the outbreak to the end. From the instigation outside the city on July 1938, 7, the two sides were no longer as unprepared for possible conflicts as they were in the original time and space.

Japan, which has always wanted to try the Soviet Union, is not as slow as the original time and space this time. It has already stockpiled heavy troops on the borders of North Korea, Manchuria and the Soviet Union long before discovering the Soviet army's movements. The beginning came early on the morning of June 6th.

Just like the previous history, in order to maintain hypocritical justice in the international environment, the whole battle still broke out first in the Lake Hassan area. Compared with the original military input of the two sides in time and space, this time the Japanese side directly used most of the North Korean front army Strength, a total of three divisions.

Among them, in addition to the 19th Division that participated in the battle in the original history, the 20th Division also moved from Seoul to the rear of the 19th Division to instigate.

As a Japanese town, it is ready to penetrate to the rear of the Soviet army at the right time to cut off the passage of its logistics and reserve troops.

However, just when Ri himself had prepared thousands of things, the Soviet Union at this time paid less attention to it than in the original history. In the original history, the entire Soviet army in the Battle of Lake Hassan was mainly composed of the 39th Division of the 40th Infantry Army In the later period, the 32nd Infantry Division and a tank brigade were added. <The scene outside the city, in the hearts of the Soviets, the Japanese on the opposite side were useless except for being crowded.Therefore, in the face of Ri himself, the actions of the Soviet Union have also changed. Not only has the time of invading the Lake Hassan area been brought forward, but the preparations for the Battle of Lake Hassan have not been sufficient.Moreover, due to the changes in Outer Mongolia, the 32nd Infantry Division did not appear here this time. Instead, it was transferred to guard the border between Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union, and was always ready to support the changes in Outer Mongolia.

Therefore, on the morning of June 6, when the two squadrons of the 8rd Infantry Regiment under the 19th Division of the Japanese Army crossed the Tumen River in the morning fog and occupied the unnamed highland on the left side of Zhanggu Peak, the Soviet command The officers looked so surprised.

"Comrade Stern, Lake Hassan reported that two companies of the Japanese army occupied the unnamed highland on the side of Lake Hassan, built a position, and are confronting us."

At this moment, in the General Staff of the Sports Military Region far away in Khabarovsk, Comrade GM Stern, the acting commander of the newly established Lake Hassan Front and former chief of staff of the Far Eastern Front, is listening to the battle report. There is Comrade Atosnovsky, the overlord of the Far East.

Originally, the military operations in the entire Far East should be presided over by Marshal Blucher, the commander of the Red Banner Far East Special Group Army. However, the Marshal himself really couldn't stand Atosnovsky's aggressiveness, and the Lake Hassan area is a small place. It's not worth paying too much attention to, so the marshal specially set up the Lake Hassan Front Army to let Atosnovsky make trouble on his own, which can be regarded as finding something for him to do and avoid trouble.

Therefore, although in name the commander-in-chief of the front army is Chief of Staff GM Stern, Chief of Staff Stern also understands that this is actually the Marshal who made a fuss for Comrade Atosnovsky in front of him. Just for fun, so after listening to the report, I took a special look at Comrade Supreme Emperor who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Comrade Atosnovsky, what do you think of the actions of Ri himself?"

Hearing GM Stern asking himself, Atosnovsky, who had been pretending to be beside him, opened his eyes, then knocked the straw pipe in his hand on the corner of the table, and then talked nonsense slowly.

"Comrade Stern, I still believe in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of our Red Flag Far East Special Group Army. I have seen Ri himself. Although they are brave in battle, they are rough and poorly equipped. They also like sneak attacks and are not good at frontal combat. I believe that as long as we Soldiers who can uphold the attitude of not being afraid of sacrifice and going forward bravely, will definitely be able to take back this unknown highland, yes, it will definitely be possible."

In order to show his courage and demeanor, at the end, Atosnovsky imitated his idol, Comrade Stalin, and waved his hand holding the pipe vigorously. GM Stern watched and didn't speak, and waited until the comrade with strong political principles finished speaking before nodding, and then ordered.

"Order the 40th Division to retake the Unnamed Heights tonight, at all costs."

"Yes!"

The communications officer received the order, turned around and walked out of the office. At this moment, the office returned to a peaceful state.At this time, the Hassan Lake area, hundreds of kilometers away, officially began the war-torn years.

"Xiao Sang-jun, I order you to stick to it. You must not lose the first line of defense."

It was already noon, and although it was in the northeast, the sun was still very hot at noon in June, and although Hassan Lake had water and lakes, there was not a drop of water or green shadows on the unnamed highlands.

When occupying the unnamed highland at the beginning, the Soviet army on the opposite Zhanggufeng did not respond at all. Who would have thought that just after digging the fortifications, the Soviet shells would be dropped. The soldiers in the army have never experienced it. Not only the entire mountain was covered by the smoke and dust from the beating, but the Soviets did not forget to block the surface of the Tumen River, regardless of whether there were Japanese people crossing the river.

Although the covering artillery fire did not cause too much damage to the Japanese defense forces because the fortifications were dug in a timely manner, the Japanese were not very comfortable with the way of fighting for a long time without seeing people. They are all laughing at the cowardice of the Soviets and this stupid tactic.

But as the team leader, Yongji Xingyi didn't think so in his heart!The Soviets didn't care about the waste of shells at all, and there was no sign of attacking casually. Judging from the opponent's approach, it was completely preparing for the attack, covering their own firepower points and troop deployment to the maximum extent. The shells in the Tumen River looked ridiculous, but they actually told everyone the status quo. In the future, the Soviets would never let Ri himself cross the Tumen River so easily.

Taking advantage of the gap between shelling, Yong Jixing arranged his men's defensive preparations, and then ran to the blast hole behind to ask for support from the regiment headquarters.However, his idea did not make his boss take it seriously, instead he blamed him for being too timid.This reply also did not surprise Yongji Xingyi. If the alliance valued his ideas, the situation might be really serious.

After clearing up his mood, Yong Jixing finally sent another telegram requesting artillery support when he was rejected by the United Team. He did it on purpose, so that he could get artillery support this time. This behavior of deceiving the superior stared at the correspondent who was watching.

Just as I put the telegram in my arms, the blasting hole started to vibrate, the camouflage net covered on the top fell to the ground, and the ground also began to vibrate.The Soviets shelled again.Yongji Xingyi was thinking about whether to go to the front line to see.At this time, Xiao Sang Yilang, the team leader who had been arranged by him on the phone just now, ran in.

"Captain Yongji, the Soviets are attacking."

"Understood, the Soviets are here, why are you still running here, hurry back to me. The first line of defense must not be lost, did you hear me?"

Just finished speaking, at this moment, the sound of machine guns came from a faint distance. It should be that the brother squadron on the right has begun to engage the enemy.

"You, hurry back to the defense line, remember to protect the machine gun..."

Before the words fell, a shell landed not far away.Several people in the shocking blast hole staggered to and fro.The frequency of shells hitting the ground is getting higher and higher. The Soviets are here for real this time, and before they can stand firm, Captain Xiaosang bows to Yongji.

"Squadron Captain Yongji, I came to you in the hope of providing artillery support in front of us. The artillery fire of the Soviets is very dense. I guess the suppression under the lights will not be small. Without artillery support, I am afraid that our defense line will not last long. .please."

After finishing speaking, he bent down and rushed out of the blasting hole, and ran from the traffic alley to the first line of defense while bending over under the rumbling shelling.Yongji, who got up from the ground again, stumbled and ran to the artillery periscope on the side, and carefully observed the Soviet positions in the distance.

Through the flying artillery fire, I saw that the Soviet positions in the distance were already waving red flags, and it seemed that the number of people would not be too small.It appears that the Soviets have also sent reinforcements.The shelling gradually weakened, and after a while, there was a sound of Ula on the Soviet position.

Through the figures rushing out of the position one by one, Yongji Xingyi frowned slightly, it seems that the number of people will not be less than his own, and the opponent's artillery fire is too fierce...As soon as he thought of this, he saw the figure of artillery fire rising from the periscope, and his first line of defense was already filled with the symphony of iron and fire.

"Bagga!"

Although it has been known for a long time that there will be infantry coordination, when the infantry charges, the artillery fire covers their own defensive front, and then the artillery fire extends and partitions.But seeing the arrival of the artillery fire, Yongji Xingyi cursed fiercely, then calmed down, while observing the Soviet army's charge, he silently counted down the numbers in his heart, waiting for the change of the Soviet army's artillery fire.

"20, 19, 18..., um!"

Just as the Soviet army's charge line was still more than 100 meters away from the line of fire, the Soviet army's artillery fire suddenly began to extend. This phenomenon made Yongji very happy.Sure enough, as the captain said, the tactical level of the Soviets is still before World War I.Even infantry coordination can't do well.

At this moment, Yongji Xingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that the supporting artillery fire of the regiment headquarters does not have to be used so early.At this time, on the first defensive position, the roar of light and heavy machine guns had already started, and the Soviet assault line shouting Ulla stopped as if hitting an invisible wall. The usual speed increased.The bloody scene is so beautiful in Yongji's eyes...

The battle between Japan and the Soviet Union has finally begun. Because of the arrival of the crossing people, the battle of Hassan Lake has been brought forward by nearly two months, and the scale may no longer be a small fight in just a dozen days. It is really hard to say who will win the battle clear.War scenes are so hard to write!Everyone give some support!What about the red ticket, what about the monthly ticket!
