Since this tank battle, the Russians have been very at ease and basically remained silent. Obviously, the Soviet army is re-evaluating the strength of the 36th Army.

A whole tank division, with nearly 200 tanks in total, was destroyed. Several senior executives of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia obviously did not dare to act rashly. This time, a tank division was destroyed. Although they were all light tanks, such losses were very important for the entire 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia.

In fact, the Soviet army was still very strong at this time and the industrial foundation was also very strong. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to have been stalemate with the German army for so long. However, it was obvious that the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia was not the elite of the Soviet army. At most, it could only be considered a second-rate. The entire tank division did not even have a medium or heavy tank.

If the Soviet tank division was equipped with a certain amount of medium or heavy tanks, the result might be different. At this time, the main gun of the Soviet heavy tank had reached 88 mm, and even the main gun of some models of heavy tanks reached more than 100 mm.

Such a large main gun is naturally powerful. Even if it is a Type 39 tank, it will definitely not feel good if it is a single shot, and it may be destroyed directly or seriously damaged.

However, as a second-rate unit in the Soviet army, the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia obviously did not have such medium-sized tanks or heavy tanks.

A tank division was destroyed, and a motorized infantry division followed by the tank division also suffered a considerable loss. Such losses completely settled the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia, and only had a far-reaching confrontation with the 36th Army.

****

The disastrous defeat of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia was soon passed back to the Soviet Union. The Soviet leader immediately sent a telegram to Yan'an, strongly condemning the actions of the 36th Army and demanding that the ** side hand over the murderer.

After receiving a telegram from the Soviet Union, Yan'an immediately summoned Zhang Yunfei. On the same day, Zhang Yunfei flew to Yan'an and had a secret conversation with the Chairman, Vice Chairman Wu, and the three of them in the cave for more than two hours.

The three of them talked about something, but no one outside knew. This was a top secret from the top management. However, the guards guarded outside the cave still saw Zhang Yunfei walking out of the cave with a smile on their faces. The guards also discovered a detail. The Chairman and Vice Chairman Wu personally sent Zhang Yunfei to the entrance of the cave with a smile on their faces.

After Zhang Yunfei returned from Yan'an, he did not mention the situation in Yan'an at all to the senior executives of the 36th Army. However, from Zhang Yunfei's face, it can be seen that Commander-in-Chief Zhang was in a good mood after returning from Yan'an, and the problem should be solved.

Everyone has a good guess. Zhang Yunfei, Chairman and Vice Chairman Wu, talked about it for so long. Not only did the Central Committee no longer pursue the conflict between the 36th Army and the Soviet Army in Mongolia, but the Central Committee also accused Zhang Yunfei of the plan to recapture the entire Mongolia next.

The trip to Yan'an was very successful for Zhang Yunfei. Not only was the problem solved, but Zhang Yunfei could let go of his hands and feet and plan to restore the entire Mongolia.

*******

Outer Mongolia.

On the second day of the Sino-Soviet tank battle, the main force of the 1st Column also rushed over one after another. When they knew the 1st Column was coming, the commanders of the 2nd Column and the 4th Column were even more happy to greet each other.

The commanders of the three columns met. They were naturally extremely happy. The three exchanged a few greetings, and then the three walked towards the inconspicuous joint command center. Starting from today, the three columns will work together, command in a unified manner, and fight together.

Not long after the 1st Column arrived here, Zhang Yunfei personally sent a telegram from Datong, requiring the three columns to let go, defeat the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces as quickly as possible, and wait for an opportunity to occupy Ulaanbaatar. In the telegram, Zhang Yunfei also put forward some combat suggestions for reference by the three columns.

These are just suggestions, not orders. Zhang Yunfei naturally did not know the situation on the front line, which was clearer than the three columns. Zhang Yunfei only grasped the general direction on the front line, and the specific details were naturally formulated by the three columns themselves, so that the combat effectiveness of the front line troops could be fully utilized.

After receiving a telegram from Zhang Yunfei, he saw that the commander-in-chief ordered him to let go and not have any concerns. He also clearly proposed to defeat the Soviet army. The commanders of the three columns felt relieved and seemed full of confidence.

In the telegram, Zhang Yunfei suggested that the three major columns issue an ultimatum first, declaring that Mongolia has been China's territory since ancient times, and requiring the Soviet army to start retreating within 24 hours and all withdraw from Mongolia within a week.

Of course, the Soviet army would definitely ignore such an ultimatum, and Zhang Yunfei was not prepared to ask the Soviet army to pay attention. Doing so was just superficial work, which could occupy a certain reason in theory.

Since you don't retreat, I'm going to hit you.

Next, the three columns will take action. The three columns have more than 100,000 people, with an absolute advantage in number, and there is no problem in defeating the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia head-on.

Although there is information that with the destruction of a large number of Soviet tanks yesterday, the Soviet Union was shocked, and now, the 2nd Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia is also rushing to Ulaanbaatar, Zhang Yunfei still did not take it seriously. Even if the Soviet army had two armies, the three columns could confront him head-on.

In the telegram, Zhang Yunfei also proposed that although most of the tanks of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia were destroyed, they still had a lot of cannons. Before the three columns attacked on a large scale, Zhang Yunfei suggested that the three columns take measures to destroy these cannon groups of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia.

Although Zhang Yunfei's these are suggestions, the commanders of the three columns are still ready to implement them firmly. Now, Zhang Yunfei has a high prestige in the minds of the commanders of each column.

On that day, the joint ultimatum of the three major columns was sent out in a clear manner, and the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia would definitely receive it.

However, after the telegram was sent, the Su-Meng coalition forces opposite were not reflected at all. Seeing this, the commanders of the three columns sneered in their hearts. Since they did not eat the toast, we would not blame us.

The three columns have selected many excellent scouts and went deep into the positions of the Soviet Union and Mongolian coalition forces, with the purpose of figuring out the position of the artillery division of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia. Before the three columns launch a large-scale attack, everyone is ready to destroy the Soviet Union's artillery positions according to Zhang Yunfei's suggestion.

Now, both sides have a lot of cannons, and no one dares to fire the cannons on both sides. Once they fire the cannons first, their location will be exposed and they will be covered by the other party's retaliatory artillery fire.

Therefore, although the three columns have hundreds of heavy artillery pieces, considering that the Soviet army also has a lot of heavy artillery pieces, everyone feels that their cannons are tied to their hands and feet when used, and they are full of concerns.

In the evening, several scout teams that went to investigate returned one after another. One of them was lucky and finally found out the location of the Soviet artillery division.

According to the reconnaissance and descriptions of these people, the Soviet artillery division had at least hundreds of heavy artillery with a caliber of 100 mm. A huge position had been built, and many trucks loaded with shells were parked on the position.

Hearing this situation, the commanders of the three columns all looked happy and finally found out the Soviet artillery positions. Moreover, the Soviet artillery positions of the artillery division were still concentrated and not dispersed into several positions, which saved everyone a lot of effort.

In the joint command of the three columns, a huge sand table was placed in a combat staff member carefully inserting a small flag at the location of the Soviet artillery division.

This huge tactical sand table was made by dozens of combat staff in the past two days, and it took a lot of effort to complete the sand table. The sand table reflected the rough terrain of nearly 100 kilometers. There were many small flags inserted on the sand table, and these two colors of flags represent the two sides fighting respectively.

Now, since you have figured out the location of the Soviet artillery division's position, you have to start soon. The speed of the soldiers is high, and if they are slow, many changes may occur.

Comrade Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Column, looked at the location of the Soviet artillery division marked on the sand table and said slowly: "Old Chen! Lao Luo! We will act overnight and send the Soviet artillery division to the west tonight. How about it?"

"Okay!" The two of them agreed immediately, and they said in unison: "Old Wang, this time it depends on your rocket launcher regiment to take action. I wish you success."

Wang Haiyang grinned and felt a sense of pride on his face. Only the 1st column of the three columns were equipped with a rocket launcher regiment. This time, if the Soviet artillery position was destroyed, it would depend on this rocket launcher regiment.

The Soviet artillery positions were not only located in a relatively backward position, but also had to run away after the battle for safety reasons. Such tasks were inappropriate whether they were sending 105mm howitzer regiments or heavy artillery brigades.

The position of the Soviet artillery division is very far away from here, and it is obviously outside the range of everyone's heavy artillery. The Soviet army was too cautious and put the position of the artillery position so far behind. In the past, people thought that the position of the Soviet artillery position was relatively high, and it might be within the range of everyone's 155mm howitzer.

The three people agreed and the commander of the 1st Column issued an order to his 3rd Artillery Regiment of the Heavy Artillery Brigade overnight. The 3rd Artillery Regiment was equipped with 60 rocket launchers, which would be a deadly force for the Soviet artillery division.

After receiving the order, the 60 rocket launchers of the Third Artillery Regiment, loaded with 200 mm rocket launchers, led by dozens of off-road vehicles and armored vehicles in a mechanized infantry battalion, took advantage of the night to head to the designated location.

In order to prevent accidents, Wang Haiyang also arranged a mechanized infantry battalion. The task of this battalion was to escort and protect the Third Artillery Regiment. If it encountered a small group of Soviet or Mongolian troops, it could protect the safety of the Third Artillery Regiment. After all, the Third Artillery Regiment had poor field combat capabilities.
