Less than half a month after the Second Metachondria Battle started, the Guards had lost their troops and were defeated, and more than half of their technical weapons such as armored vehicles, aircraft, and field artillery were damaged. The Russian army felt that the Chinese army was not as easy to deal with as Moscow thought, so they burned their boats and decided to use their treasured long-range heavy artillery troops. On July 15, the Guards' artillery corps were busy (including the garrison artillery stationed in Lushun). The heavy tracked tractor dragged a cannon with a strong gun barrel out of the cavernous reservoir, and the Guards took out all their assets.

723, 1,200 large-caliber artillery fired together, and the entire Metachondria peak battlefield fired into the sky, and the entire shelling time was 4 hours long. Such a large-scale and long-term shelling is recorded as the first time in the history of the Russian army. The Guards are going to sell their lives this time. However, the new generation of Russian artillery has never received ultra-long-range shooting training and has never experienced saturated shooting. Although it is very fierce, the front-line news said that the effect is not good and the accuracy is particularly insufficient. On the contrary, the Chinese army has been actively training. With the help of veterans, the Chinese army's level is the best maintained among all countries.

At noon, the artillery group fired nearly 300,000 shells in one breath. This consumption was amazing in the history of the Russian military. If this continues, the Guards will go bankrupt in a few days. What annoyed the Guards even more was that heavy artillery malfunctions occurred one after another, and many heavy artillery mounts broke, the gun body overheated, the barrel explosion, and the ablation of the gun barrels occurred one after another. Russia's steel industry was unable to produce steel of sufficient strength, and there were not enough artillery soldiers, so heavy artillery soldiers were even scarce.

In the afternoon, the Chinese army artillery group, which had been hidden for a long time, began to counterattack. A large number of shells made a terrifying whistling sound, and hit the Russian artillery positions like a storm. The position suddenly became a sea of ​​fire. Faced with the overwhelming strike of the Chinese army, the firepower of the Russian army's counterattack was almost groaning, and the infantry even asked the artillery nearby not to fight back, so as not to bring more violent attacks. The Russian army recorded: "The Chinese army's counterattack was far beyond expectations, and the density was so high.

The long duration was never seen before. The position was covered with smoke and dust like black clouds, and its visibility was only two or three meters. The thick smoke blocked the view, and there were wounded people, corpses and damaged weapons everywhere, and there was no intact artillery position." The Chinese artillery attacked longer than the Russians, which shows that in terms of steel manufacturing, the Russians were far behind China. After a day's artillery battle, the Russians had no power to fight back. The arrogant Russian army lowered their heads, and the artillery lost again in the decisive battle.

Since the air, tank and cannon have failed one after another.

The Russian army had to return to the infantry's "hidden charge" - that is, hidden on a certain backscene surface, which was the old routine during the Russo-Japanese War. After nightfall, tens of thousands of Russian infantry rushed out of the bunker together, shouting with bayonets and launching a group charge. For a moment, the Russian army's hysterical shouts resounded throughout the night sky of the metacarpal peak. It was creepy. Under the moonlight, tens of thousands of shining bayonets shook out a fierce murderous aura, and the guards' eyes were red.

When the Russian army rushed to the forefront of the Chinese military position, the Chinese army suddenly turned on the vehicle searchlights, and thousands of flares were launched one after another. Before the Russian army could understand what was going on, they were knocked down in groups before they understood what happened. Under the leadership of the commander, the Russian army continued to charge regardless of their lives. Years of militarism education and influenced by the spirit of "Bushido" made the Russian army generally have a desperate style, but the desperate courage of the desperate style could not change its fate of failure. According to post-war statistics, the Guards' army successively conducted several large-scale night attacks, with a total of 5,000 casualties; the Chinese army was only 263 killed and the defense line shrank 2-3 miles back. After witnessing these crazy actions of the Russian army, the German military officers were dumbfounded. The report sent to the country stated that the Russian army's tactical level was at most in the early stages of World War I.

The war at the Mesoko Peak continued for more than three months. Although the Russian army suffered repeated setbacks, it had no intention of retreating. All signs indicate that continuing defense could not stop the Russian army's crazy intentions. The continuous victory made the morale of the Chinese army high, and it was time for a large counterattack. The General Staff of the Chinese Army decided that the general attack time was on Sunday (Sunday), because according to convention, half of the officers of the Russian frontier troops had to take turns to the Urals for vacation. The order for the attack reached the front line at 245 in the morning on the 20th, and the Russian positions on the opposite side were silent. The Chinese army's counterattack achieved the greatest suddenness.

On the second day of the general attack, the armored troops surrounded by two wings of the Chinese army successfully joined forces and completed the division and encirclement of the Russian army. At the same time, powerful artillery fire and intensive bombing completely destroyed all frontier artillery positions, observation stations, and communication stations of the Russian army. The 203rd Army Brigade raided behind the enemy and successfully cut off the Russian supply line, and the Russian army was already in a jar.

He refused to admit defeat and did not want to believe that the dignified "Great Russian Imperial Army" ordered the troops to fight back immediately and could not sit back and wait for death. (Overall, the style of the Russian army should be considered tenacious during World War II. Before Russia announced its surrender, there were almost no troops that had been established to surrender, which was the only little capital that the Russian army could claim.

)

In the early morning of 824, counterattack troops climbed out of the collapsed fortifications. After the Russian army completely left the position, the Chinese army's artillery fire rushed over like a huge crowd, and the Russian army had nowhere to hide was heavy casualties. In a day's counterattack, the Russian army only advanced less than two kilometers, but the casualties were terrible. In some places, there were too many corpses piled up together, making people nowhere to put their feet. Records from the Russian war history: only 7 officers and 8 officers were left in the left-wing offensive forces.

Seven soldiers, the captain of the Air Force, were broken right leg, almost trampled to death; the right wing attacking troops were ambushed by the Chinese army, and Colonel Rodiger led his team to charge and was beaten into a "sieve". After the crazy counterattack of the Guards failed, the defense line collapsed, and the Chinese army chased to the Tiemuling line and stopped. The purpose of annihilation of the Guards' main force had basically been achieved. Zhao Gang did not want to attack the big bear too much. His purpose was to show his strength to the Russians.

The Russian army was left on the front line of the Mesoko Peak, and only 100 people were running out of the entire system. The commander of the Guards, Kenji Ueda, resigned, and the commander-in-chief Pablovsky was shot and killed. During the entire Mesoko Peak War, the Russian army lost nearly 50,000, and the 23rd Infantry Reorganization Division, the 7th Division, and the 1st Tank Reorganization Division were almost completely lost, and 11 special forces corpses completely lost their combat effectiveness. The casualties of senior officers were also unprecedented. Russian newspapers lamented: "The concentration of casualties of a large number of senior officers has never been seen since World War II."

On the 93rd, the Guards stopped all combat operations. The reason why Moscow refused to stop the war was that there were no soldiers available on the front line, and on the other hand, it was due to the signing of the Soviet-German Treaty of Non-Aggression. The Russian government lost all its face and the cabinet had to announce its resignation. In this war, Russia not only lost militarily but also lost politically, becoming a ridiculous clown on the international stage. Soon, the "Weekly" faction gradually gained the upper hand, and Moscow re-adjusted its national policy. From then on, Russia turned its attention to Eastern Europe, which was once the sphere of influence of the Great Russian Empire, and is now waiting for Russia's call.

"This is a strange, secret war." On July 20, 19355, the editorial of the Rhine Morning Post commented on the struggle between the Chinese field army and the Russian army in the Ural Mountains. The Rhine Morning Post disdainfully mocked "(they) vented their anger in the corner of the world that people did not notice." It was not until two years later that the Russian bombs hit the port of Marseille that the Germans realized that it was precisely the war they thought that irrelevant changed the target of Russia's combat, and it was precisely the rude northerners they looked down upon whom they gave them a fatal blow! The Germans paid a heavy price for their pride and carelessness.

Professor Lorentz of MIT once said: "A butterfly flapped its wings in the heart of Asia may cause a storm in the South Pacific in a few weeks." In the military and political fields, the causes of many major historical events may be minimal, but the "butterfly effect" it produces is astonishing. The Mesopotamian Peak War is a typical example. Who would have expected that an inconspicuous border conflict in the heart of Asia would lay the groundwork for the final failure of the Axis powers.

From a political perspective, this battle not only severely hit the arrogant aggression of Russian militarism, but also forced Russia to change its national policy of "advance east" to invade the Soviet Union to "going south" to attack the United States. China thus avoided the unfavorable situation of fighting with Russia and the United States on both sides and could concentrate its efforts to attack the United States. In the subsequent war process, it can also be clearly seen that since China has been fighting against a country and the United States, it has always had a clear upper hand, while the Russians fought bloody battles with the Germans to the end, and did not take any hands to attack China from beginning to end.
