The 22nd Division prepared its positions, but it did not say that it would fight positional warfare in the first battle. It could fight ambushes and fight trivial positional warfare.
Most of the main forces of the three regiments of the 22nd Division were ambushing near the highway. The 222nd Regiment on the left, the 223rd Regiment on the right, and the 221st Regiment were composed of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions as pocket troops ambushing not far away.
The artillery regiment's 54 105mm howitzers have long been aimed at the marked location, and they will definitely give him a drink when the time comes.
At the headquarters of Highland 433, where the 22nd Division headquarters is located, Wang Youwei looked through the telescope at the tranquility in the distance on the road. Occasionally, a few animal sounds came from the fields on the roadside, but they soon disappeared into the jungle. middle.
Seeing that there was almost no exposure in the ambush area, Wang Youwei nodded with satisfaction. The training of the 22nd Division in the past two years was not in vain.
At this time, a sound came from the communication phone nearby.
"Command headquarters, command headquarters, this is reconnaissance area No. 3, the fish has been caught in the net! The fish has been caught in the net, it's over."
After hearing the call, Wang Youwei looked deeper into the road and saw a series of car lights, which were so conspicuous in the dark night.
The sound of the gas truck's engine has reached my ears.
The truck driver in the front row suddenly noticed something moving in the field next to him. When he stuck his head out to look, there was no movement again. He thought it was an animal or something, and the driver didn't want to cause trouble, so he keep going.
Just as the car advanced about 50m, the truck in front suddenly exploded to pieces. Some of the cars behind were blown over, and some were unable to dodge and rushed into the woods.
Da da da da~~
The machine guns opened fire instantly, including the artillery regiment behind. One after another 105mm howitzer shells fell in the middle of the convoy, causing people to flip over and the soldiers to scatter and hide.
When the first explosion sounded, Petrov knew something was wrong with his years of military experience.
He quickly called the driver to stop, got out of the car and called for the soldiers to fight back. As a result, bullets were fired from all around. The shells fell in the convoy, and the convoy that was caught off guard crashed around in chaos. Some of their own people were crushed to death, knocked away, and injured by bomb fragments. Almost everyone was running around without any structure, like rabbits.
Angrily, Petrov got out from under the car and killed several deserters before he could organize a few hundred people. However, before the soldiers who had just gathered had any effect, a second burst of flares shot into the sky.
Petrov's face was so pale under the light, like a corpse.
"Rush!!!"
As the artillery fire continued to extend backwards, the soldiers on both sides began to advance one after another. The shouts soaring to the sky made Petrov sadly realize that he was actually surrounded. Moreover, he was struck first by the artillery fire in the middle. There are no weapons.
The jungle fields on both sides continued to spit out tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of the Russian troops.
Petrov slumped on the ground, looking at the fallen soldiers one by one, muttering to himself.
"It's over! It's all over. The 181st Division is over!!!"
…
The sky was slightly bright, and Wang Youwei yawned and stood on the high ground nearby, watching the soldiers escorting groups of prisoners past, feeling already happy.
Is this the first time that the Northwest Army has won a large-scale battle with a foreign army?
Wang Youwei almost pointed his nostrils to the sky, and the guy raised his head so high.
Looking at these old Russian men who were arrogant in the past, Wang Youwei couldn't help but feel proud? That's it? That's it?
There were vague sounds of gunfire on the plain. After all, the exchange of fire lasted only two or three hours. It was already pretty good that most of the enemy's main force had been annihilated and surrendered.
At this moment, a staff officer with a Slavic face came to Wang Youwei.
"Report to the division commander! This man has been clamoring to see you. We have no choice but to bring him here."
Wang Youwei took a look and said, "Good guy, he is still a major general. You must know that the Northwest Army has not been awarded the title yet, but he is now the division commander. In the future, if he wins more battles and becomes deputy army commander or something, it will not be a battle. Who can say System soldiers won’t grow?
"Are you the commander of your army? I am Petrov, the major general and commander of the 181st Division of the Russian Red Army."
"We ask that you provide us with treatment and protection corresponding to our military rank in accordance with the Geneva Conventions."
A Russian soldier next to Petrov spoke in broken Chinese translation.
"Of course, you will receive corresponding treatment, but since you are a war criminal, you must do some work to compensate for the losses of our army, right?"
"It's natural."
Wang Youwei smiled and looked at Petrov who looked embarrassed. He has his own reason to be proud. After all, he is the first Chinese army in China to completely wipe out the old imperial army in the past century. His name will be recorded in history.
On January 21, 1932, the northwest military government sent electricity to the whole country and released a piece of news that shocked the country and the world.
On January 20, 1932, the 22nd Division of the 2nd Army of the Northwest Army of China, under the orders of Commander Zhang Yunhan of the Northwest Army, completely annihilated the 181st Division of the 18th Infantry Army of the Russian Siberian Military District that invaded the Chinese territory at the Altai Pass in the Western Region, killing the enemy. 4,936 people, and a total of 7,161 Russian soldiers including Major General Petrov, the division commander, were captured. The Northwest Military Government warned the Russian government that the Western Region is an integral part of China's territory. If anyone dares to invade China, the Northwest Military Government will fight back with all its strength! ! ! I also hope that the Russian government will apologize for this invasion of our territory! !
…
"Selling newspapers! The 22nd Division under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhang of the Northwest Army completely wiped out the 181st Division that invaded our country from Russia and captured the Major General and Commander alive!!"
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper! The Northwest Army is humiliating our country!"
The next day, Jinling, Shencheng, Jiangcheng, Peiping, Tianjin and other major cities were all wrapped up in the news. As soon as the newspapers came out, almost all of them were bought, and the whole country was excited.
Large-scale demonstrations were held in Peiping, Shencheng, Jinling and other places, demanding that the Jinling government seek an explanation from the Russian government! An apology and compensation must be made!
The Jinling government, on the other hand, is deaf to what is happening outside the window and only reads the books of sages. If I don't listen, I won't listen.
The consuls of various countries did not pay much attention to the northwest military government before. It was not until he occupied half of the country that these foreign governments began to take the government that rose in the remote northwest seriously.
Now that they heard the news, governments of various countries were communicating with their embassies. After confirming the news, they all lamented that this was April Fools' Day? ? April Fools' Day around the world?
Oh, God! Jesus! When did the Chinese army become so powerful that it could annihilate the Russian army in divisions with equal force?
You know, Russia is not as anxious as that underdeveloped country. It is an old empire. I used to think that the Chinese army was forced by the Japanese to escape, but now it has done a big thing quietly. .
