Age of Rebirth

Putting down the phone, Sun Zhenbang gritted his teeth and circled back and forth in the shelter. He knew that Wang Qingshan, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade, followed him when he defended the headquarters from the Yellow River, and moved to North China. He is a man who can fight tough battles. Commander, he won't complain unless it is absolutely necessary.

Wang Qingshan complained, saying that the situation was very critical. It was at a critical moment that Sun Zhenbang stopped suddenly, picked up the phone, shook it, and stopped again. Put into the forward position, but it's just over ten o'clock in the morning. Seeing the crazy energy of the Soviet army, I'm afraid the next battle will be even more jerk and cruel. Now use the reserve team, then the next battle what to do?

Sun Zhenbang gritted his teeth and said to the staff: "Convey my order to the frontline troops, put the Soviet army closer to fight, no fire is allowed within 50 meters, use more grenades, and then wait for the command from the headquarters to counterattack across the board!"

As a last resort, Sun Zhenbang could only adopt such a style of play. Only by mixing with the attacking Soviet soldiers, could the lethal effect of Soviet tank artillery fire be minimized. When they were knocked out one by one, the next step was hand-to-hand combat. Even if the Soviet attack was repelled, the casualties of the troops would be unbearable.

What General Kurykin lacks is time, while Sun Zhenbang lacks troops. He can't get more manpower to fight with the Soviet army. He also has a bigger worry, which is the combat effectiveness and combat experience of the troops. The soldiers of the Corps are used to this kind of fighting. The commander put the Soviet soldiers at a distance of 50 meters before fighting, those company and platoon leaders.Dare to put the Soviet army close to 30 meters before firing! [

However, most of the soldiers under him are recruits who have joined the army in the past two years. They have never been on the battlefield and have seen blood. The first two times they repelled the attack of the Soviet army. However, this is not the case, the Soviet army has already boarded the river beach.This style of play requires soldiers to have a strong psychological quality. In case, a soldier wavers and runs away.There will be an avalanche effect, causing the defense line to collapse.

"Adventure. I am taking a risk!" Sun Zhenbang kept reminding himself in his heart.However, if you don't fight like this, those damn Soviet tanks will do too much damage to the troops, especially the firepower of light and heavy machine guns, and.He also saw that the Soviet soldiers of the second attack wave had assembled on the north bank and were preparing to join the attack.And his artillery fire has become very sparse.

If at this time, concentrated artillery bombardment for a while, the effect is self-evident. It will cut off the rhythm of the Soviet army's attack, relieve the pressure on the frontline troops, and repel the first wave of the Soviet army's attack. Nan'an, for himself, was a disaster. Sun Zhenbang picked up the phone, "Is it the artillery brigade? I'm Sun Zhenbang. I'm looking for your brigade commander!"

The phone rang for a long time, until Sun Zhenbang waited anxiously, and there was a voice on the other end saying: "Commander, I am Xiao Changzhu, chief of staff of the brigade, what orders do you have?"

In the earphones, the sound of the explosion of the cannon was loud and deafening. It was more than ten kilometers away, and one could imagine how jerk the artillery battle was going on. Find your Brigadier Jiang!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Changzhu replied: "Commander, our brigade commander is seriously injured and is being rescued!"

Sun Zhenbang was taken aback. An artillery brigade commander can be seriously injured. It can be seen how much pressure the two artillery brigades have been under. He hurriedly asked: "Is the injury serious? How about the loss of the troops? Can you still withstand it?" ?"

Xiao Changzhu's voice became low, and he replied: "Commander, more than half of the troops of the first brigade suffered casualties, and about two-thirds of the artillery was damaged. However, we can still persist. Go to the Soviet army's position! However, our brigade commander's injury is very serious. He was injured by a Soviet artillery shell in the second regiment's position. The military doctor said that the situation is very pessimistic, and I have taken over the command! "

Sun Zhenbang was heartbroken. He worked hard for several years in the border guards of Outer Mongolia, and managed to save three artillery brigades. When he got to the Selenge River defense line, there were two brigades, and he lost all of a sudden. More than half, a brigade commander was also picked up. Needless to say, the situation of the second brigade is not much better. This is the second day of the blocking battle!

Sun Zhenbang stabilized his mind and said: "Chief of Staff Xiao, order all of your artillery to bombard the follow-up troops of the Soviet Army that are gathering on the north bank. After 15 minutes, stop the shelling and move your position immediately. In addition, tell the military doctor what I said, no matter what the cost. , to rescue your brigade commander!"

Hearing Xiao Changzhu's firm and forceful answer, Sun Zhenbang smiled gratifiedly, but he also knew that after 15 minutes, the First Artillery Brigade might not have a few men and cannons left. The crazy retaliation and suppression of the Soviet artillery, especially when the first attack wave of the Soviet army has begun to land on the beach, kills their strongest fire support, which can maintain the continuity of the attack to the maximum extent.

Putting down the phone, Sun Zhenbang felt a bitter taste welling up in his heart, and then issued the same order to the Second Artillery Brigade, everyone knows the truth of "keep the green hills, and don't worry about no firewood", but, The pressure faced by the frontline troops was unprecedented. The Soviet tanks kept firing one round at a time, which had already caused great casualties to the frontline troops.

If the second attack echelon of the Soviet army crosses the "Selenge River", the two waves of the Soviet army combined will be more than five infantry divisions. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers will flock to them, and the defense line will not be defended no matter what. So, Sun Zhenbang didn't plan to keep Qingshan here, he wanted to take out all his artillery resources and fight the Soviet army.

At this moment, on the south bank position, there was a sound of grenade explosions, and there was a faint cry of killing. Sun Zhenbang raised his binoculars and observed the situation on the position. It was very bad. In several areas, Soviet soldiers had already rushed into the position. He was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with his own soldiers, he threw down the binoculars, picked up a steel helmet and put it on his head, grabbed a submachine gun, and shouted, "Guard company, follow me to the forward position!"

Lieutenant Colonel Meng Zhaoxu, the chief of the combat section, grabbed him and said, "Commander, you can't go to the forward position. It's too dangerous. Shall we report the dangerous situation in the position to the division commander and ask for air support?"

Sun Zhenbang threw Meng Zhaoxu away angrily, and said, "Dangerous! My life, Sun Zhenbang, is no more valuable than those soldiers at the front line. I ask for air fire support. It's not like you didn't see the air battle just now. The air force will also suffer great losses. They just returned, are we embarrassed to ask for help?"

"Dinglingling" The phone on the cannon box rang quickly, Sun Zhenbang grabbed the phone angrily, and said, "I'm Sun Zhenbang, talk!"

"Commander, I'm Wang Qingshan. Our position has already been breached in many places, and we've fallen into a melee. It's really fucking evil. The old Maozi has spotted our brigade's position and is all moving towards me. There are four regiments coming up here, Commander, please order the third regiment at Luanshishan to urgently reinforce the front, otherwise, it will be impossible to hold it!" Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the [-]st Infantry Brigade, said Roared anxiously.

Sun Zhenbang was furious and shouted: "Wang Qingshan, don't complain to me, the brigade's position is the same, the third regiment can't move, it's the reserve team, they're all exhausted, what are you going to do to repel the attack of the Soviet army below? The first brigade, even if you hit the last person, you must hold the position for me, otherwise, I will shoot you!" [

After dropping the phone, Sun Zhenbang rushed out of the shelter and into the smoky battlefield. He had just run along the traffic trench for less than 5 minutes. "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and a cannon exploded nearby. Seeing his figure, several guards around him slammed on the commander, the gunpowder smoke cleared, Sun Zhenbang shook his dizzy head, sticking out the mud in his mouth, and struggled to get up.

A sharp pain caused him to stagger and fall again. In order to cover the commander, two guards died, and a hideous piece was inserted into Sun Zhenbang's back. The dark red blood soaked his uniform. "The commander is injured!" The other guards screamed and hurriedly carried Sun Zhenbang into the headquarters.

Sun Zhenbang grinned in pain, the cold sweat on his face, his face blackened by gunpowder smoke, showing streaks of paleness, he smiled with difficulty, and said: "It's a big fuss, I can't die, damn it After fighting for several years, the little devil didn't kill me, so don't even think about it!"

Two military doctors braved the flames of war and entered the bunker. After checking the wound, an older lieutenant colonel said: "Commander, although your injury is not in a vital part, it is because the wound is too large and bled a lot. It must be sent to the rear hospital for surgery, otherwise, life will be in danger!"

Sun Zhenbang endured waves of exhaustion, and said: "Damn, isn't it just a little skin scratched by the cannon, how can it be so serious, I went to the rear hospital, whoever directs here, if you want to do surgery, you have to be there." The headquarters is doing it, but you can't use anesthesia!"

He said to Meng Zhaoxu again: "Zhaoxu, during my operation, you will control the situation of the forward positions instead of me, pay attention to the second echelon of the Soviet army, and, the news of my injury must be kept secret from the forward troops! Don't affect the soldiers. Morale!"

Just after saying this, Sun Zhenbang's eyes darkened and he fell into a coma. Everyone shouted in panic, and Meng Zhaoxu yelled at the two suitable military doctors: "Did you hear what the commander said? Let's do the surgery at the command post." ! If the commander makes a mistake, I will shoot you all!"
