Age of Rebirth

The laughter of Major General Zeng Shiqiang, the brigade commander of the [-]rd Cavalry Brigade, was arrogant and proud, but more, it was heroic and joyful after victory. The laughter drifted far away with the wind at dawn. The soldiers, seeing the brigade commander riding alone, looked up to the sky and laughed. They were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed knowingly.

Zeng Shiqiang galloped down the hill, and Colonel Tian Guangzhu, chief of staff of the brigade, greeted him and said: "Brigade commander, the results of the battle have been counted, and the statistics are not complete. In this raid on the Soviet army, a total of 360 Soviet soldiers were killed or injured. More than one person burned the supplies and "medicine" of the Soviet army, which cannot be counted. In addition, dozens of trucks of the Soviet army were blown up, and we suffered [-] and five casualties, of which [-] were killed in action."

"The casualties of the second and third regiments were relatively large, and the casualties of the first regiment were very small. Only twelve soldiers were killed and 38 soldiers were injured. However, because we fought a surprise battle, the time from the start of the battle to the end was very short. The remains of the soldiers were left on the battlefield before they could be snatched up!"

Zeng Shiqiang's body froze for a moment, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and he said immediately: "There is no one who is immortal in a war. Send a telegram to the division commander. My third cavalry brigade raided the Soviet troops in the Wuzhigentala area and gave Su The army killed a large number of people, burned and blew up the Soviet army's logistics materials, medicines, and transport vehicles. Our troops suffered more than [-] casualties. We are currently gathering at Jiren Gol, [-] kilometers north of Urigentala, rest."

"The target of the next step will be to target the Soviet army's logistics supply troops and other scattered troops, actively look for fighters, and constantly attack the Soviet army. The specific battle plan will be reported to the division headquarters at any time." Then, to the surrounding A staff officer ordered: "Let Wei Guoliang, the head of the first regiment, come to me immediately!"

Zeng Shiqiang didn't know yet.The three 10-minute raid won't just result in this. If he knew that he had killed a senior commander of the Soviet army, the telegram to the commander Tang Qiuli would not have been in this tone.

Soon, Colonel Wei Guoliang, the head of the first regiment, came galloping on horseback, "Report to the brigade commander, Wei Guoliang, the head of the first regiment, has been ordered to come. Please give instructions to the brigade commander!"

Zeng Shiqiang looked at Wei Guoliang, with unconcealed admiration in his eyes, and said, "Old Wei, your regiment fought well, entered the fastest, evacuated the fastest, and suffered the least casualties. You deserve to be the sharp knife regiment of our third cavalry brigade!"

Wei Guoliang smiled lightly.He knew that the brigade commander came to him not to praise the group, there must be other tasks to explain, so he quietly waited for the brigade commander's next words.

really.Zeng Shiqiang said: "Old Wei, I entrust you with a task. Let's destroy Lao Maozi's logistics materials, medicines, and vehicles. They must supply supplies, and bring a regiment of the first and second battalions , and the two platoons of the mortar company of the brigade, moved to the vicinity of Barnur and Irkutsk, and did nothing else. They were dedicated to attacking the Soviet army's transport convoy. You decide how to fight, and you don't have to ask for instructions. brigade."

Wei Guoliang smiled and said: "Brigade Commander, you are ruthless. As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go before they move food and grass, and their logistics is cut off. This is to starve and trap the Soviet troops to death. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task. And bring back the two battalion soldiers intact!"

Zeng Shiqiang laughed, punched Wei Guoliang, and said: "What I want to hear most is this sentence. You old Wei has a lot of tricks, and you never suffer in war. Take a two-hour break and set off with your troops. Bring more radio stations, waiting for your good news!"

After Wei Guoliang left, Zeng Shiqiang said to the communications staff: "Send a telegram to Gao Changshan, the commander of the reconnaissance company, ordering the reconnaissance company to closely monitor the movements of the Soviet army, and report to the brigade headquarters every hour."

Colonel Tian Guangzhu, chief of staff of the brigade, came back after sending a telegram to the division headquarters. When he saw Zeng Shiqiang who was thinking, he asked, "Brigade Commander, the troops have been assembled. What is our next move?"

Zeng Shiqiang smiled "hehe" and said: "Old man, even if the surprise attack in the early morning did not hurt the Soviet army, it still shocked them. This kind of tactic can only be used once. We have to change our tactics. It is in broad daylight. We can't rely on the front, order the troops, disperse and hide, pay attention to air defense, sleep well, sleep well, and trouble the old man at night, at night, we are the world of our cavalry."

At 21 o'clock in the morning on September [-], in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters, staff and correspondents came in and out, a busy situation, more than an hour ago, received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang, "color" The Soviet troops on the north bank of the Lengge River are frequently mobilized, and it is very likely that they will attack our army's position again today.

Tang Qiuli, who had just rested for less than three hours, was awakened from his sleep by the combat staff officer on duty, and after reading the telegram, he said: "Call back Sun Zhenbang, closely monitor the Soviet army's movements, and prepare to fight the Soviet army's attack. "

Tang Qiuli could only reply to the telegram like this. The battlefield of "Selenge River" was a situation where the enemy attacked and we defended. There was nothing tricky to do in a real positional defense battle. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone, "Here is Master pointed out, pick me up Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group!"

In less than a minute, Liu Cuigang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Master, I'm Liu Cuigang, do you have a combat mission?"

Tang Qiuli smiled, Liu Cuigang also didn't rest all night, maybe he was in the air, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to answer the phone so quickly, he just heard about the war, he didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, he was still full of energy, his eyes were red Lord of light!

Tang Qiuli said: "Cuigang, I just received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang that the Soviet army is undergoing a large-scale mobilization. I guess it will be another fierce battle soon. Your aviation team must be ready to attack at any time. Cuigang, Yesterday, the Soviet Air Force suffered a big loss, this time, they should be prepared, the number of the first batch of fighters you dispatch should not be small, according to the report from the ground radar station, adjust tactics at any time!"

Liu Cuigang replied: "Teacher, don't worry. Yesterday, we conducted a battle summary. All the regiment leaders agreed that the Soviet Air Force suffered a loss, but the Soviet Army had to use bombers to break through our position. Therefore, we The tactic formulated was that the first group of aircraft would be dispatched, no less than 730 fighter regiments, and more than [-] fighters, if they wanted to fight, they would fight to the death, concentrate superior forces, and consume the air power of the Soviet army.”

Liu Cuigang's tone contained great self-confidence. Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli couldn't help smiling and shaking his head. At this time, Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, hurried in, "Master, the Third Cavalry Brigade Telegram back, the first battle is won!"

Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, smiled on his face, and said to Wang Jun: "Zeng Shiqiang fought well, and the number of enemies wiped out came second. He burned the supplies and medicine of the Soviet army." , Blowing up the transport vehicle, this is a fatal blow, this Zeng Shiqiang is well versed in this way, grasped the vital point of this Soviet army, called Zeng Shiqiang back, and agreed with their style of play!" [

Just as Wang Jun was about to leave, he was stopped by Tang Qiuli again, "Chief of Staff Wang, have you checked the number of this Soviet army?"

Wang Jun replied: "Master, I have checked the qnghu. The intelligence office reported that they are two infantry divisions of the Third Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union. The strength is about [-] people. There are no tanks and armored units, but the real Intent, we haven’t engaged in qnghu yet, we judge that this Soviet army is heading towards Kobduo, but there is no definite intelligence support, everything is based on judgment.”

Tang Qiuli sneered, and said: "Whether it's a surprise soldier or a partial division, we have prepared a large encirclement circle for the more than 2 Soviet troops in Uliasutai, so don't worry about him, but Zeng Shiqiang suddenly made a move. The blow was given to General Kurykin, which caused a lot of confusion and trouble. It may be of some help to Sun Zhenbang on the frontal battlefield. By the way, is there any news about Li Changjiang's Fifth Cavalry Brigade? Chief of Staff Zhao, when will you arrive in Cullen?"

Wang Jun replied: "The Fifth Cavalry Brigade is still moving in the direction of Ulan-Ude. It has not made any major moves for the time being, and has not revealed its whereabouts. After receiving a telegram, Chief of Staff Zhao arrived at around nine o'clock this morning. , you can rush to Kulun!"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "Send a telegram to Li Changjiang, tell him not to rush, don't rush to find a fighter, maybe, riding the fifth brigade, will become one of our surprise soldiers? I'll go to rest for a while, and wait for Sun Zhenbang to strike." I can't even get to sleep!"

On the north bank of the "Selenge" River, at 21:[-] a.m. on September [-], the Soviet army regained the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Campaign. The commander, General Kurykin, had already deployed the offensive forces, and all the offensive troops had already entered the The starting point of the attack, the artillery unit, has already prepared all the equipment for bombarding the position of the independent division. Of course, in this attack, the artillery no longer plays the leading role. The main force of the attack is the three fighter divisions of the Air Force of the Transcaucasus Military Region, and two bomber division.

General Kurygin was cruel. His plan was to use two bomber divisions and more than 100 bombers to rain heavy air bombs on the positions of the independent division troops, and to kill those Chinese soldiers who were desperately blocking their troops. , were all buried in the ground. After the bombing ended, the attacking infantry units did not attack immediately, and at intervals of 10 to [-] minutes, they used all artillery to bombard fiercely for an hour.

Those Chinese soldiers who were buried in the underground bunker were driven by the instinct of survival. When they crawled out in panic, they just saw the twilight in the early morning, and then they were overwhelmed by a burst of artillery. Perhaps, the independent division On the battlefield, there are not a few Chinese soldiers left. The powerful socialist Soviet Union lacks the most things, steel and artillery.

In three or ten minutes, Konev's bomber and fighter formations will fly over, and maybe, a few hours later, he will stand on the land on the south bank of the Selenge River.

At this time, Lieutenant General Zirenenko, chief of staff of the military region, hurried into the tent.
