Age of Rebirth

In the headquarters of the Selenge River Blocking Line of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Defense Army, under the battlefield environment of continuous artillery fire and deafening noises, a surgical operation is being intensively prepared, and medical equipment is constantly being delivered. , Sun Zhenbang has come to his senses.

Listening to the sound of cannon explosions coming from outside, and the whistling over the top of his head, Sun Zhenbang asked Lieutenant Colonel Meng Zhaoxu, the chief of the combat department, in a weak voice: "Chaoxu, our artillery, let's start shelling the second echelon of the Soviet Army. How about it?"

Meng Zhaoxu stared intently at the north bank of the river, without daring to turn his head, and replied: "Commander, you can perform the operation with peace of mind. The shelling effect is very good. It has already disrupted the second echelon of the Soviet army. The boat was also sunk by our cannon!"

Sun Zhenbang asked again: "The frontline troops, have you repelled the Soviet attack? How is the battle going? Why do I hear that the gunshots are not so dense?"

Meng Zhaoxu quietly wiped the teardrops from the corners of his eyes, and replied: "I just received a call, and all the troops have successfully blocked the breakthrough and suppressed the Soviet attack!" [

The middle-aged military doctor who performed the surgery came to Meng Zhaoxu's side, and gently pulled his lapel. The two quickly exchanged glances. The military doctor nodded. The operation was about to begin, and Sun Zhenbang felt dizzy. Suppressed drowsiness hit him, his eyelids seemed to be as heavy as a huge boulder, and he said angrily in an inaudible voice: "Damn it, you still gave me anesthesia, which bastard's idea was it?" In the darkness beyond.

Meng Zhaoxu left the observation hole, walked quickly to the telecommunications room, and said to the operator: "Send a report, division commander, Meng Zhaoxu, the chief of operations section of the Serenge River Front Command of the Frontier Army of Outer Mongolia. I want to report an emergency to you, Su At about [-]:[-] this morning, the Soviet army launched a second attack on our position, and the battle situation was jle, the Soviet army used more than [-] tanks to suppress and destroy the firepower points of our forward position with tank fire."

"By ten o'clock, the battle situation became even worse. The first attack wave of the Soviet army had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers on our forward positions. And the second offensive echelon of the Soviet army was also gathering, but was attacked by us. During the battle, Commander Sun was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He is undergoing surgery, and when he will wake up. It cannot be determined. I took the place of command. At present, the battle is still in progress and is in a stalemate. The Soviet army The tanks are extremely harmful to our forward position. Request the division commander to send air fire support!"

The situation on the battlefield was indeed as described by Meng Zhaoxu. The Soviet troops in the first attack wave could not expand their breakthrough.The troops of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Defense Army could not completely drive the Soviet army out. Soldiers from both sides fought for jle at every breakthrough point. There were shouts and grenade explosions everywhere. The smell of blood.

Major General Wang Qingshan, the brigade commander of the [-]st Infantry Brigade, had already led the soldiers of the guard company into the fight. His position was the position of the [-]nd Regiment. The position, in front of the position, is a gentle slope, walking down the gentle slope, it is a long river beach, the river just reaches the calf, it is most suitable for beach landing, and the defenders do not have dangerous terrain like the positions defended by other troops. usable.

Therefore, the Soviet army took the position of the second regiment as one of the main breakthrough points, and invested three regiments of troops, and the artillery fire repeatedly bombarded the position several times. The huge pressure was the first position to be broken by the Soviet army. When Wang Qingshan led the brigade guard company to arrive, about two battalions of Soviet soldiers had already entered the position and started hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers. Soviet soldiers kept coming up.

Just as Sun Zhenbang was worried, under the fierce attack of the Soviet army, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, who had never experienced battle, were overwhelmed by the Soviet soldiers first in terms of momentum. As soon as a shot flew over and fell by his side, he became a corpse dripping with blood. The blood splashed on his face. The smell of blood did not stimulate the hidden blood in their hearts, but instead aroused their inner cowardice.

Many timid soldiers have already turned around and ran to the back position. Although the squad and platoon leaders tried their best to fight, hoping to call back their inner courage, they faced twice as many Soviet soldiers as themselves. Their heroic behavior could not prevent the soldiers from retreating, and their figures were quickly submerged among the Soviet soldiers.

There was a platoon leader who was stabbed with three bayonets, struggled to pull the grenade on his body, and died together with several Soviet soldiers. Wang Qingshan's eyes were burning, and he shouted "Kill!" , more than 150 men from the guard company rushed towards the swarming Soviet soldiers with bloodshot eyes.

Wang Qingshan's guard company was the predecessor of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Defense Army, and the old base of the Yellow River Defense Command was carefully selected from the whole brigade. I followed the army and fought from the Chahar Grassland to Outer Mongolia. I have experienced countless battles and seen the brave Japanese soldiers. I know how to fight such a battle.

Seeing that the brigade commander was the first to rush up, the soldiers immediately formed a group of three, let go of a battalion of soldiers who were constantly retreating, and raised their submachine guns. Then, there was a loud noise like heavy rain hitting leaves, and more than 150 submachine guns , Spewing tongues of flames, dense rain, splashing head-on to the Soviet soldiers who were fighting happily, one clip was empty, and when the clip was changed, the other submachine gun was connected to fire.

Just a face-to-face, the Soviet soldier who rushed up turned into a bloody corpse, rolling down the slope, Wang Qingshan emptied a clip, and before he could change it, a thick Soviet soldier , holding a rifle with a bayonet attached, lunged and stabbed viciously towards his chest.

The guards, who were seven or eight meters behind Wang Qingshan, had no time to rescue him, and shouted anxiously: "Brigade Commander, hide!"

Wang Qingshan belonged to the kind of person who, when he smelled the smell of blood, his pores and eyes were full of fighting passion. He didn't panic, and dodged the bayonet sideways. On the head of the Soviet soldier, not only the helmet was blown away, but also half of his cheekbone was smashed, hot blood spattered all over Wang Qingshan's head and face.

The Soviet soldier screamed and shook a few times, but he didn't fall down. He stared at him with blue-gray eyes, covered his cheeks, and looked at him in fear. A short burst, a few shots, poured into the back of the Soviet soldier, and the huge impact force knocked him down to the ground, turning him into a corpse.

Under the leadership of the brigade commander, the guard company launched a ferocious counter-assault, forcing the Soviet soldiers of the two battalions to retreat continuously and break out of position. When Wang Qingshan turned his head, he saw a heavy machine gun, two The shooter, lying mangled in the trench, with long chains hanging from below.

Wang Qingshan yelled to the two personal guards: "Squeeze!" Then, he threw himself on the heavy machine gun, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger viciously, "Da da da!" "Da da da!" Sweeping at the Soviet soldiers rushing up along the slope, at such a close distance, a heavy machine gun can block the breakthrough, knocking the Soviet soldiers upside down, and the corpses rolled down the slope into the ground. Selenga River.

The news that the brigade commander came to the front line and brought the guard company to support the first battalion quickly spread to all the positions of the third regiment. , He raised his gun again and rushed to the position again. The various units of the first brigade launched counterattacks one after another, gradually pushing the Soviet soldiers out of their positions and compressing them on the river beach.

Although the position of the first brigade was shaky, it was held, and several breakthroughs were recaptured. However, the frontier troops of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army were unable to drive back the Soviet troops who had already gained a foothold on the beach. Going to the north bank, the battle is still in a stalemate. The defense line of the Outer Mongolia border guards has not yet lifted the danger. The biggest wexe is the Soviet tank on the other side. [

Wang Qingshan was fighting happily, a heavy machine gun in his hands exerted great power, not only blocked the breakthrough, but also provided fire support to the adjacent positions from time to time, suddenly, an instinctive Feeling, let him drop the heavy machine gun, and shouted to the two guards: "Leave!" After shouting, he swiftly rushed to a corner of the trench, followed by the two guard battalions.

In Selenge and the north bank, a Soviet tank slowly turned the turret, and there was a loud "boom", a stream of flames spewed out from the muzzle, and a cannon roared towards it, splashing mud and flying horizontally. The heavy machine gun flew into the air, and the bodies of several soldiers nearby were torn to pieces.

Wang Qingshan poked his head out of the soil, wiped his face indiscriminately, and cursed: "Old Maozi's tank soldiers are not bad, and they are quite accurate. Fortunately, I am clever. Otherwise, I have to explain Here! I want Lao Tzu's life, I want to be beautiful, I don't want to give it!"

The two guards also got up, shook off the dirt on their bodies, and asked, "Brigadier, how do you know that the Soviet tanks are about to fire?"

Wang Qingshan spat out the dirt in his mouth, and said simply, "Intuition! Intuition brought out on the battlefield!" Of course, the most likely one is a battle-tested veteran who was killed in the battle of Gun Linyu. , the instinctive reaction that has been exercised, and this instinct can save his life.

When the second offensive echelon of the Soviet army was assembled on the north bank of the Selenge River, it was shelled by artillery from the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, which completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Soviet army. However, the two artillery brigades also paid a heavy price. The price can be judged from the gradually sparse sound of artillery.

Without artillery support, facing the third wave of Soviet attack, the position of the Outer Mongolian border guards is in jeopardy!
