Chapter 571: The Surrender of the Mongolian Cavalry
A large number of Mongolian cavalry kept falling down amid the dense sound of shooting.
It was not until at least more than a thousand cavalry were killed and several commanders of the Mongolian army that the division commander realized that the opponent's firepower was too strong, and he was simply the only one who saw him in his life.
These Mongolian army officers have fought many battles in the past, but have never encountered such fierce attack firepower. They have never encountered any unit, just like the 36th Army, with all their automatic firepower.
Several senior executives of the Mongolian Army had a serious lack of understanding of the 36th Army, so they were now ready.
In just five or six minutes, more than a thousand cavalrymen were killed, and many grassroots officers who led the team to charge were even shot and killed by snipers from the Third Motorized Infantry Regiment.
"Stop the charge! Retreat!!!"
Several senior Mongolian army leaders shouted loudly.
However, so many cavalry charges are not just about to stop. The issuance of orders requires a process. Most of the cavalry are still charging forward, and many cavalry continue to fall.
The casualties of Mongolian cavalry have been increasing continuously.
As the battle progressed, many new recruits of the third motorized regiment gradually turned into normal. Everyone's daily training played a great role and gradually began to adapt to this cruel battlefield.
The soldiers' shooting has not stopped.
Many soldiers have exhausted most of their magazines in just a few minutes. Such high-density shooting consumes bullets that are not ordinary.
Especially those machine guns, the barrels were already hot, but the soldiers saw that the Mongolian cavalry showed no signs of stopping charge, and everyone stopped at all and kept firing fiercely.
When the Mongolian cavalry suffered nearly half of the casualties, most of the cavalry basically received orders to retreat and began to stop charging and prepared to retreat.
*******
The commander of the ** Division, Liao Yaoxiang, was not very far from the Third Motorcycle Regiment, only two or three kilometers away. The fierce gunfire reached Liao Yaoxiang's ears, and before Liao Yaoxiang could ask what was going on, the Third Motorcycle Regiment heard news and found a large number of Mongolian cavalry fighting with them.
Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry took the initiative to attack, Liao Yaoxiang knew what was going on. The Mongolian army must have wanted to trouble his infantry and dispatched so many cavalry.
Liao Yaoxiang thought to himself that if his infantry regiments were ordinary infantry regiments and encountered so many cavalry on such a vast grassland, it would be really troublesome, and they might suffer heavy casualties.
However, his infantry regiment was full of motorized infantry regiments, all with automatic weapons. And there were a large number of mortars. This time, the Mongolian cavalry was kicked to the iron plate, and it seemed that they were in trouble.
The cavalry army gradually declined in modern warfare, mainly because of the large number of advanced weapons and equipment. It posed a huge threat to the cavalry, such as a large number of automatic weapons, which is fatal to the collective charge of the cavalry.
Liao Yaoxiang knows his own troops.
Although the Mongolian army had a large number of cavalry this time, the weapons of several of its own infantry regiments were advanced and not far apart. There should be no suspense in this battle, and it may not take long before good news will be heard.
"Let's go! Let's see the battle situation!"
Liao Yaoxiang is still very concerned about his first battle. Although he doesn't need his own command for the time being, it's not bad to watch the soldiers' performances next to him.
So, the ** Division headquarters, several armored command vehicles, more than a dozen off-road vehicles, and more than a dozen large trucks drove towards the direction of gunfire.
Liao Yaoxiang's armored command vehicle drove onto a gentle hill that was dozens of meters high. When he got off, Liao Yaoxiang held a telescope and looked at the huge flat ground ahead, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Many Mongolian troops' bodies fell down from the ground. At this time, the Mongolian troops were preparing to retreat.
"Teacher Commander! The Mongolian cavalry seems to be about to run away."
The deputy commander of the ** Division, through the telescope, saw that the Mongolian cavalry showed signs of retreating, and immediately reminded him about concern.
"They can't run away! Look around, many of our soldiers have arrived and are ready to encircle the Mongolian cavalry."
Liao Yaoxiang pointed around. Just now, through the telescope, Liao Yaoxiang saw that several soldiers from the infantry regiments were driving large trucks and surrounded them.
Sure enough, through the telescope, several senior executives of the ** Division saw several soldiers from the motorized infantry regiments surrounded them from afar, and the Mongolian army's retreat was cut off by the soldiers. It was probably too late to escape.
It's really a bit late to retreat at this time.
Many Mongolian cavalrymen also found that there were soldiers of the 30th Army Group in the distance, and these cavalrymen were immediately panicked.
"Not good! We're surrounded!!!"
Many cavalrymen began to scream in panic, at a loss.
Now, these surviving cavalry no longer dared to charge. The charge just now was simply a nightmare. The opponent's firepower was too fierce, and even if he was a cavalry, he had no hope of rushing out.
"Master! What should we do?"
Several Mongolian cavalry commanders shouted uneasy. In just over ten minutes, more than half of the casualties were killed. These commanders felt deeply afraid while heartbroken by their cavalry.
The commander of the Mongolian Cavalry Division looked at the soldiers of the ** Division who were slowly surrounding him, and then looked at the large number of corpses on the ground, and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
He thought to himself that if you continue to resist stubbornly, there is only one way out, and the only way out is to surrender.
The commander of the Mongolian Cavalry Division gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Brothers, surrender! Even the Japanese are not the opponent of the 36th Army. Let's stop seeking death."
Seeing his division commander say this, many puppet army officers sighed, "Brothers! Those who want to save their lives should put down their weapons and surrender quickly, hurry up!"
Suddenly, many puppet cavalry put down their weapons, raised their hands, and surrendered to the soldiers of the ** Division in the distance.
"Look! They surrendered."
"Okay! It's good to surrender!"
"Comrades! Clean the battlefield! Receive prisoners."
Immediately, many soldiers began to act, drove the surrendered Mongolian cavalry, collected the war horses, and ordered the surrendered soldiers to clean the battlefield and bury the bodies.
On the hills in the distance.
Seeing the Mongolian cavalry surrendered one after another, Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the ** Division, also applauded repeatedly. This battle was such a beautiful victory.
Five or six thousand cavalrymen on the other side were defeated by their own troops in a short time and captured two or three thousand people on the other side. However, there were very few casualties on his own. Such a great victory was a great victory that Liao Yaoxiang had never experienced in his military career.
It’s better to be the 36th Army! It seems that choosing to join the 36th Army was the wisest choice you could make.
"Teacher Commander! We will win the first battle, will we report to the commander-in-chief immediately?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang laughed happily, "Come on a telegram and report to the commander-in-chief immediately. This is the first victory of our ** Division, so that the commander-in-chief will be happy for us."
*******
Datong, the 36th Army Command.
All the telegrams and information in front are summarized here, and many combat chiefs are busy here, sorting out the information and reporting some important battle reports to Zhang Yunfei in a timely manner.
"Commander-in-Chief! The ** Division sent a telegram, and in the morning, a fierce battle with a cavalry division of the Mongolian army about twenty kilometers south of Xilingol League, annihilated more than 3,000 enemies and captured more than 2,000 people."
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, received a good news from the ** Division and personally reported to Zhang Yunfei.
"Okay! This is the first big victory we have ever won north. Datong Daily and others need to promote it." Zhang Yunfei also looked quite happy.
"Commander-in-Chief, I want to report to you about the situation of the other columns. The 4th Column has completed the assembly in Zhangjiakou. This afternoon, the vanguard of the 4th Column will leave Zhangjiakou and go to Xilingol League; there are four columns in total, including 6, 8, 9, and 10, and are currently gathering in Qinhuangdao."
After listening to Comrade Zuo Qingquan's report, Zhang Yunfei nodded.
This time, the main force of the 36th Army will divide the troops into two groups. The first route will advance eastward from Xilingol League and attack Siping directly. The second route will be the main force of the attack, with a total of four columns and a 200,000 army. It will set off from Qinhuangdao, attack Huludao, Jinzhou and other places, and restore Shenyang.
Zhang Yunfei walked to the big map and looked at the positions of each column, feeling passionate.
This time, it will be another major collision between the 36th Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army, and it will be a decisive battle. Zhang Yunfei's purpose is to completely annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army and restore the three eastern provinces.
The Japanese Kwantung Army has 700,000 troops, both in terms of combat effectiveness and scale, which is one level stronger than the Japanese North China Front Army. This time, the 36th Army will be gnawing on a tough bone.
In the Northeast, the Japanese established a large number of factories, and many of their weapons and equipment were produced in the three northeastern provinces and then transported to several Japanese fronts. The Japanese army's weapons and ammunition supplies in China did not all come from Japan.
The three eastern provinces play an important role among the top Japanese devils. The top Japanese devils must not be able to watch the three eastern provinces being restored by the 36th Army. This time, the 36th Army attacked the Northeast and ushered in the stubborn resistance of the Japanese devils.
Zhang Yunfei was very clear about this, so after restoring North China, Zhang Yunfei rested for two or three months, expanded his troops to more than 100,000, and reserved a large amount of supplies.
Whether the 700,000 Kwantung Army can be chewed and swallowed depends on this time. If the Kwantung Army that can wipe out the Japanese devils in one fell swoop, it will leave another highlight in China's history of the War of Resistance.
