Chapter 213 The surprise attack on Cullen (7)

In this attack, Ouyang Longxing did not arrange very complicated tactics. He mainly used the armored motorized troops, and used the three companies of the tank battalion and the motorized battalion as the main force of the attack. He attacked the Mongolian army from three directions on the battlefield, and then cooperated with the infantry. In the face of the absolute strength of the armored motorized troops, the People's Army could use the simplest and rough tactics and just roll the front directly, without wasting any energy to design the most complex tactics.

However, the purpose of this battle is not only to defeat the Mongolian army, but to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian army as much as possible, preferably to annihilate them all. This brings certain difficulties to Ouyang Longxing. After all, the Mongolian army has more troops than the People's Army, and most of them are cavalry. Therefore, once they are dispersed and fled, it is indeed impossible to defend themselves. Fortunately, the Mongolian army's camp is stationed by the lake, and only three sides can attack, which allows the People's Army to concentrate its forces. In addition, the cavalry brigade of the People's Army has been in place, which also gives Ouyang Longxing a greater tactical space.

So Ouyang Longxing ordered the cavalry to be responsible for intercepting and pursuing the enemy who were fleeing on the periphery of the battlefield to arrange a cavalry on the riverside to prevent the Mongolian army from escaping by the river.

Just as dawn the next morning, the People's Army launched a full-scale attack on the Mongolian army's camp.

At this time, in the camp of the Mongolian army, several master generals had not realized that their safety was actually a matter of the other party's thoughts. Although the Mongolian army had experienced the power of the People's Army's armored motorized troops in the battle to attack the People's Army's logistics convoy, several master generals had never thought about how to deal with it if the People's Army mainly attacked its own camp and whether its own camp could withstand the impact of the tanks, but it was like this was not the case.

In fact, this is not a surprise, because the main generals of the Mongolian army are not serious soldiers. Although Damding and Maksarzab were considered military generals, they were all nobles and only practiced some skills such as horse riding and archery. At most, they were in the teaching field and had no soldiers at all. Moreover, the limited military knowledge was all from the old army. Babuzab and Taoke and Taohu were all horse thieves, with some practical experience, but they were only limited to bandit-style looting. Haishan had some world perspective, but they were not professional soldiers. Moreover, Haishan had returned to Kulun to ask Russian officers for advice on countermeasures. In fact, for modern warfare, these people were all laymen, and tank armor tactics were absolutely advanced in this era, so these people naturally would not understand it.

It is precisely because the ignorant people are fearless that the Mongolian army camp has been so calm and relaxed for more than ten days. No one realizes that they are actually sitting on the crater, and the crisis will come at any time, just depending on when the People's Army will launch an attack.

At this time, the People's Army's attack finally arrived.

Although there is only one tank in each direction, it is by no means something that the simple fortifications of the Mongolian army camp can resist. While advancing, the main gun fired continuously, and smashed the wooden walls of the camp in many places. However, on the periphery of the Mongolian army camp, a trench more than 3 meters wide and more than 1.5 meters deep was dug out, which was filled with deer antlers, which caused some trouble to the People's Army's attack.

In fact, this kind of trench that is purely used to block the enemy's advance is almost useless in modern warfare, because only by erecting a wooden ladder and a wooden board can allow soldiers to easily cross the trench, and even more war horses can jump past it, which cannot stop the enemy's attack at all. On the contrary, it also affects the activity dispatching ability of their own army.

The camp arrangement of the Mongolian army was based on the Russian officers' professors. Although it was not arranged in a law and was orderly in advance and retreat, it was also a Chinese opera. Only this trench was indeed added by Damdin, Maksarzab and others as their own cleverness. If the Russian officers knew about it, they would definitely be in a big furious situation. However, it is a very effective fortification for tanks, because no matter what kind of tank it is, it is difficult to cross a trench of more than 3 meters. This is also one of the reasons why the Mongolian army is still fearless.

However, tanks were known as the king of land warfare in the old time and space, and of course they would not be stumped by a few small obstacles. Moreover, trench obstacles are very common on the battlefield. Therefore, they have already summarized various tactics for tanks to cross trenches. During the waiting period, the People's Army has also conducted many drills and has been very skillful. In each attacking force, six trucks filled with sand and soil were arranged, and followed the tank and advanced in a reverse way.

When we reached the edge of the trench, the tank turned and continued to drive along the edge of the trench. The main gun's turret rotated 90 degrees and continued to fire at the camp of the Mongolian army to suppress the counterattack in the camp. The truck fell directly to the edge of the trench and dumped all the sand and soil into the trench. Although the truck could not fill all the trench, it was filled with 60% or 70%, which was enough for the tank to pass. After all, ordinary tanks had a certain ability to climb up and override.

After pouring the sand and soil, the trucks immediately retreated, and the tanks crossed the trench from the sand-filled area. Then there was no obstacle that could block the tanks, so they all headed straight to the camp of the Mongolian army.

The trench is only a few dozen meters away from the Mongolian army's camp, and it has long been within the range of the Mongolian army. In fact, there are soldiers guarding the Mongolian army camp. After the tanks entered the range, the Mongolian soldiers guarding the camp fired one after another, but the "ping-pong" sounds on the tank, but it is useless. Instead, the tank's main gun and machine gun fired, which made countless Mongolian soldiers guarding the camp kill.

At this time, the firepower in the Mongolian camp was greatly reduced, but a group of brave cavalry were killed, waving spears and sabers, and charging towards the tanks. However, although the courage of the Mongolian soldiers was commendable, the flesh and blood bodies were vulnerable in the face of the torrent of steel. The spear was broken, the sabers were rolled, and the people were crushed by the tanks and crushed into meat mud, and they could not stop the tanks from advancing half a step.

Not long after, the tanks broke through the broken wooden walls and rushed into the camp of the Mongolian army, and then rushed around in the camp. Whether it was people, tents, vehicles, etc., they were either knocked away or crushed, completely as if they were in a no-man's realm. The main guns and machine guns of the tank fired violently in the camp, causing countless Mongolian soldiers to be killed and injured, corpses everywhere, and blood flowed into a river.

The infantry of the People's Army also entered the camp of the Mongolian army with the tanks. The camp was in chaos and the soldiers fled one after another. However, at this time, the People's Army siegeed from the camp of the Mongolian army three times and had formed a siege. It was even more difficult to break through the encirclement of the People's Army than to ascend to the sky. Even if a few soldiers could break through successfully, the Peripheral Cavalry was waiting for them.

The camp was besieged by the People's Army from east to west to north, and only facing the river in the south was considered a net. Therefore, many Mongolian soldiers had to escape south when they were desperate, but they could not escape far, and were blocked by the river and had no way to escape. There were still people of the People's Army's cavalry guards on the shore, and they could not escape along the river bank. At this time, behind them, the People's Army had already pursued them. Some Mongolian soldiers who could only abandon their horses and throw their guns and jumped into them.

The river swam to the opposite bank, but the cavalry guarding the river bank raised their guns and fired, killing most of the Mongolian soldiers in the water. At this time, several tanks had already killed and injured. When they saw the tank, the Mongolian soldiers were immediately frightened. They did not care whether they could water or not, but they all escaped into the river. Many people did not know how to water and did not intend to go into the river to hide, but were also swept into the water by other soldiers, and countless people were drowned.

By this time, the Mongolian army had no fighting spirit and had no way to escape. In addition, the power of the tank had scared most of the Mongolian soldiers, so some Mongolian soldiers had to put down their weapons and surrender to the People's Army.

Of course, the People's Army would not kill the surrendered Mongolian soldiers. They just gathered the surrendered people and sent special personnel to guard them, leaving several armored soldiers to guard them.

When other Mongolian soldiers saw that the surrendered could survive, they all gave up their resistance and surrendered to the People's Army. As a result, more and more Mongolian soldiers surrendered, and the battle gradually subsided.

After receiving the report, Ouyang Longxing was very happy that the battle was really smooth, so he hurriedly took his guard to the battlefield to command the post-war cleanup work.

In fact, the battle did not last long, less than 2 hours, and the cleaning work continued until after 4 pm. After all, the Mongolian army had nearly 20,000 people, which was not a small number.

The final counting result was that a total of 6,817 Mongolian soldiers were killed and 12,532 were captured. Only 2,300 Mongolian soldiers escaped, which could basically be considered as annihilation of the Mongolian army. The five main generals of the Mongolian army, except for the sea and mountains that left the camp, were disbanded in the melee and could only find their own way. However, none of them ran away under the encirclement of the People's Army. When counting the prisoners, Damdin** and Babuzabu were found, and among the dead Mongolian soldiers, the bodies of Maksarzabu and Taoke Taohu were found.

In this battle, more than 10,000 war horses were captured, which was a huge wealth. However, other spoils were not good. The Mongolian army was actually an old-style army, and there was not much valuable material except for some food and grass.
