In the vast darkness, following the order of Division Commander Komatsubara Michutaro, the troops of the Japanese 23rd Division and the 1st Tank Division rumbled across the Halaha River.
For Michutaro Komatsubara, the decision to send troops without permission has already been made. He must exchange this victory for his own future - this is a huge gamble. Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
"What Zhukov? In front of me, Lieutenant General Xiaomatsubara, are all local chickens and wardogs. Just a bunch of uncivilized old men, can they be compared with our Imperial Japanese Army? That is the light of fireflies, and it dares to compete with the sun. ?" Thinking of this, Komatsubara Michutaro's face was covered with a burst of excitement, as if a great achievement was right in front of his eyes, like picking something out of a bag!
As the Japanese artillery fire covered the highlands of Bayinchagang Mountain, it suddenly fell into a sea of fire. Countless Japanese troops screamed and rushed towards the position stationed by the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces!
Since the Soviet-Mongolian coalition had only more than a thousand troops, they were immediately defeated and retreated continuously.
It was this scene that made Michutaro Komatsubara's confidence double again, because in his opinion, the scene in front of him was completely in line with his expectations.
However, is this really the case?
…
In a military camp about 40 kilometers past the west bank of the Halaha River, a tall white general wearing a Soviet military uniform and holding a large pipe in his mouth was standing at the window looking at the world outside.
Listening to the rumble of cannons in the distance, his heart had slowly dropped to the bottom. Everything was going in the worst direction he expected, and he had nothing to do.
This white general was none other than General Zhukov, who was later known as the "Soviet God of War". At this time, he was still a lieutenant general.
At this time, Zhukov could only wait quietly for the arrival of his reinforcements - he knew very well that it was impossible to defeat the Soviet-Mongolian coalition with more than 50,000 troops with just two thousand people. of the powerful Japanese army.
"If you like the high ground of Bayinchagang Mountain, take it away! I want to see if you can hold it after taking it." General Zhukov murmured to himself. It was obvious that from the beginning, he We know that it is impossible to defend the high ground of Bayinchagang Mountain.
Yes, from the very beginning, General Zhukov had a clear grasp of the surrounding situation - as an excellent general, he must have a clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield, otherwise he will be defeated. of.
As a soldier, he doesn’t want to lose the war. Especially Zhukov is still under the leadership of Stalin, a military and political strongman. If he has the strong support of the Soviet Central Committee, he can still win a big victory. If he loses the battle, Zhukov will never be able to make a comeback in the Soviet military!
No matter from which aspect, Zhukov must be fully prepared - this is the thinking of a smart person, and he will not allow himself to make such a big mistake.
Facts have also proved that Zhukov is destined to be a born handsome man. The fall of the Bayinchagang Mountain Highlands was already expected by him and was part of his plan!
As soon as the Soviet reinforcements arrive, it will be the end of the Japanese army. For Zhukov, Bayinchagang Mountain is surrounded by a plain. The Japanese army can only be said to be seeking death if they occupy it!
As an excellent general, you must know your own strengths and weaknesses before the battle begins. What are the Soviet army's strengths? Those must be mechanized troops and artillery troops. On the plains, this can reflect one's greatest advantage!
After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army finally completely occupied the highlands of Bayinchagang Mountain.
"Yoshi, this is the bravery of our Imperial Japanese Army. How can the Soviets be our opponents?" The success of the war gave Komatsubara Michutaro immediately a strong sense of self-confidence. He firmly believed that their army would be able to win the final victory. victory.
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise and has a long-lasting military career!!" The chief of staff next to him gave Komatsubara Michutaro a big flattery, the kind that could almost make people faint.
"This level of fighting intensity is not a difficult task for our Imperial Japanese Army. The Soviets are nothing more than local chickens and wardogs." Michutaro Komatsubara said disdainfully.
"Yo Xi, your Excellency the division is so powerful!!" The chief of staff next to him slapped him with another flattery.
…
Time passed by bit by bit. Both the General Staff Headquarters in Japan and Okamura Neji in Wuhan were waiting for news from the Halaha River.
At the same time, the Soviet army finally waited for reinforcements.
The tanks were brought by train. A column of troops brought nearly more than 400 of the latest T-28 tanks and more than 300 large-caliber artillery pieces.
Looking at these iron guys with shining steel edges, Zhukov's eyes were filled with heat. He knew that this was the bargaining chip he used to turn defeat into victory.
"Thank you, Davari!!" Zhukov stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the officer responsible for transporting military supplies.
"General Zhukov, Comrade Stalin is waiting for your victory in Moscow. I am just a small quartermaster, a small person responsible for transporting these weapons to you. Whether you can win this battle depends on you, General. ." The quartermaster's face was full of sincerity, as if he was proud to be the transportation quartermaster for this time.
"I know, Davari. I will definitely win this battle. I will wipe out the shame of the Russo-Japanese war. Together with the Davaris, I will defeat these damn warmongers. Ula!" said With that, Zhukov saluted the quartermaster with a military salute, which was an expression of respect for Comrade Davari.
"Hurrah!!" The quartermaster immediately responded with a military salute, his face full of seriousness.
After waiting for the quartermaster to return the military salute, Zhukov said to the quartermaster: "Davari, hurry up and let everyone unload these military supplies! I can't wait any longer. I can't wait for these little Japanese guys." We are about to launch a counterattack against them.”
"Don't worry, Davari, everyone and I will definitely complete the unloading of the truck as quickly as possible." The quartermaster assured.
"Thank you, Davari." Zhukov nodded.
Looking at these latest T-28 tanks on the train, Zhukov already knew that they were already sure of victory. You must know that the total weight of the Japanese army's small tanks is only 13.6 tons, and the total combat weight of their T-28 tanks has reached an astonishing 31 tons, no matter in terms of armor thickness, firepower, or engine power, these small Japanese tanks are far inferior to the rough-skinned and thick-bodied T-28 tanks!
