Age of Rebirth

After a big battle on September 25, the Soviet army dispatched more than a dozen regiments successively, paying the price of more than [-] casualties, and once occupied the beachhead on the south bank of the "Selenge" River, and victory was almost in sight.

In the air battle, the Soviet army paid the price of almost annihilating a bomber division, encircling the eight incompletely organized fighter regiments of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division Aviation Group in the airspace of the "Selenge River", and it was almost a scene of complete annihilation.

However, the five fighter regiments led by Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flying Group, suddenly appeared on the battlefield as a new force and changed the outcome of the battle. 』The Lengge River defense line, the precarious front line, has finally stabilized

Commander Liu Hongzhang's counterattack was timely, and all the Soviet troops who had invaded the beachhead on the south bank were sent back to the north bank. out of the blue sky

The "Se" Lengge River was still roaring and rushing, but it couldn't take away the corpses on both sides. Liu Hongzhang leaned tiredly against the wall of the shelter, and said to Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin: "It's not easy, I finally got through it, at least to In the early hours of tomorrow, the Soviet army launched an attack again, forming forests, each regiment counted the number of casualties, and then reported the battle situation to the division headquarters.

After walking a few steps, Liu Hongzhang stopped again, and said to Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, when you send a telegram to the division commander, don't forget to thank Commander Le of the Southern Flying Group. He has helped you a lot. Otherwise, maybe You are collecting my body!"

Le Yiqin flew a fighter plane and circled at high altitude on the north bank of the "Selenge" River. He was waiting for the three regiments of the retreating Soviet fighter jet group to chase after him. He returned to the formation, and the two regiment leaders called from the earphones, "command Officer, we are waiting anyway, instead of doing nothing like this, why not stir up a circle in the Soviet army's position!"

Le Yiqin "Puchi" was amused, these two guys failed to hit the Soviet fighter jets, and they felt unbalanced, so please help to the end, "All regiments can use squadrons as units to find targets and attack freely. Pay attention to the ground air defense of the Soviet army Firepower, don't be bitten, but remember one thing, after receiving the order to return, no matter how enjoyable you are fighting, return to the formation immediately!"

General Kurykin's mind was in a mess. Just lying on the camp bed to stabilize his depressed mood, he heard the chaos outside and a staff officer rushed in and shouted in a panic: "Comrade commander , Immediate air defense, the fighter jets of the independent division, carry out air strikes on our army positions!"

As soon as the voice fell, the roar of fighter jets and the sound of "da da da!" of machine guns came from the sky. Several guards rushed in. They couldn't help saying that they set up General Kurykin and ran out of the tent. Luckily, they just ran Less than 20 meters away, a fighter jet of the independent division flew by at low altitude, and a few strings splashed down, tearing up the tent and leaving clouds of blue smoke. If you look closely, there are still blood spots, it is too late The outdated staff officers and radio personnel became targets!

General Kurykin sat under a rock, panting heavily, and several guards surrounded him to form a human wall. Comrade Commander was so angry that there were more than 30 troops and nearly [-] tents. Why is it that the fighter jets of the independent division, as if they had eyes, aimed at themselves?

Not surprisingly, the headquarters of General Kurykin is the nerve center of the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region. All orders are issued from here. The radio antenna and telephone lines are dense like spider webs. Seen from the air, they are eye-catching. Fighter pilots are veterans who have been on the battlefield, so they can't see anything wrong?

More than 100 fighter jets fought on the north bank of the "Selenge" River, within the range of the Soviet army's assembly area. It was a mess, from time to time, oil tank trucks and medicine trucks were blown up, and there was a loud "bang", a cloud of smoke and fireballs exploded, and the music was high in the sky, it was a joy to watch

Because there is no fixed attack target, the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the Soviet army can't touch the rules of the fighters of the independent division at all. In addition, the fighters are fast, light and agile, come and go erratically, and a series of anti-aircraft machine guns , one round of anti-aircraft guns, one can only chase after the buttocks, but one hit

The fighter jets of the two regiments of the Southern Flying Group went on a rampage for more than 30 minutes, when the three fighter regiments chasing the Soviet fleet returned, Le Yiqin laughed loudly and said, "Okay, let's stop when we see it, form an air formation, and return home! "

Nearly [-] fighter jets of the independent division formed a neat formation in the sky above the heads of the Soviet soldiers, and flew to the south with a "rumble", leaving behind a messy Soviet army assembly area full of fireworks

Kulun, the Outer Mongolia Campaign Headquarters, division commander Tang Qiuli put down the phone, smiled and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Le Yiqin and the others are returning to the voyage. Relieve the siege, and become a thug for Liu Hongzhang, who is in a tight battle!"

Just as Zhao Yuhe was about to answer the call, Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Defense Army, walked in with a heavy face, holding a telegram, and said, "Mr. Telegram, reporting the casualties of the troops!"

Tang Qiuli suppressed his smile and said in a flat tone, "How about the casualties of Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan's troops?"

Wang Jun said: "Master, the battle that started at 1000 o'clock in the morning today was abnormal. The first and second brigades directly under the Corps repelled the six-hour uninterrupted attack of the Soviet army. A total of [-] enemies were wiped out and captured There were more than a thousand people, but the army also paid a huge price, with more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] were killed, and the damage to weapons and equipment was also relatively serious."

"Brigade Commander Liu and Brigadier Ouyang also said in the telegram that the division commander should rest assured that with the current force, they can complete the task of blocking the Soviet army and the north bank of the "Selenge River" until midnight on September 26. Even if one person is not evacuated in advance, the troops of the Outer Mongolia border guards on the front line of "Luanshi Mountain" can stop the Soviet army for a day."

Tang Qiuli raised his head, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time. There was an atmosphere of pain in the headquarters. After a long time, he whispered: "The ones who are fighting are all veterans. They are the essence of our independent division. Six Hours of fighting disabled one of my main field brigades, an unprecedented loss, and a bloody day! I have fought against the Japanese army for many years, and I have not lost this kind of loss." After speaking, two lines of tears flowed down my cheeks

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli opened his eyes, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order the troops on the left and right flanks to march as fast as possible to reach the designated place, and clearly tell the brigade commanders Don't use any reason to emphasize the difficulty. Even if you run and break your leg, you must arrive at the designated location before 26 o'clock in the evening on September [-]. The officers and soldiers of the first and second brigades are using their lives to Come buy them time!"

"Order Battelle, his four tank brigades, must arrive at the Checheerleg line north of Kulun before nine o'clock in the night on September 26, block the Soviet army's southward footsteps, and point east to the army commanded by Chief of Staff Yang Ketian Three mechanized infantry brigades, directly under the [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th brigades of the corps, arrived at the front line of Checherleg at the same time, built positions in advance, and took on the task of frontal blocking. The troops were under the unified command of Yang Ketian and Battelle”[

"Order Liu Chun, the cavalry commander of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, to lead the first cavalry brigade, the second cavalry brigade of Tongbatu, and the sixth cavalry brigade of Bagenna, and move to the south bank of the Selenge River to stand by. Li Changjiang's The [-]th Cavalry Brigade, return to the south bank of the "Selenge River" and stand by. The cavalry units avoid the front of the Soviet army and outflank it. After the battle is launched, block the retreat of the fleeing Soviet army."

"In addition, a telegram was sent to Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan, ordering the first brigade and the second brigade of the Corps directly under the Corps to withdraw from the front line of the "Selenge River" after ten o'clock in the night on September 26. The troops on the front line of "Luanshishan" withdrew at the same time, and turned to the Bayan Ula area. The two troops formed the East Road Attack Group, with Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan as the chief and deputy commanders, and they were advancing to this area. Directly under Fang Yuanshan Department of the [-]th Brigade of the Corps, it was assigned to the group's combat sequence, and brigade commander Fang Yuanshan also served as the second deputy commander!"

"The Eighth, Ninth, No.11, and No.12 Brigades directly under the Corps form the West Road Attack Group. The eighth brigade commander Qiao Manshan serves as the commander, the ninth brigade commander Xiao Jinshan, and the No.11 brigade commander Ren Zhaoquan and No.12 Brigade Commander Chen Han served as deputy commanders”

"At the same time, a combat order was issued. The launch time of the campaign was 27:[-] am on September [-]th. The purpose of the campaign was to encircle and wipe out the troops of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region. The battlefield was preset from Hagengaul to Baiyinchagan. , In the order to each brigade, add this sentence, if that brigade delays the time, so as to affect the smooth implementation of the campaign, the brigade commander will come to the headquarters to accept the crime!"

Tang Qiuli issued an order, and Zhao Yuhe repeated it after recording it. A carefully woven network was finally about to be formed. For this campaign plan, the Independent Division was directly under the Corps, the Independent Division's Outer Mongolian Frontier Defense Army, and the Independent Division's air force flew north. Group, paid a heavy price

Zhao Yuhe hurried to the radio room to give orders to the brigades. Tang Qiuli said to Wang Jun again: "Chief Wang, inform all the staff in the headquarters to get ready and set off at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Before the troops coming from the south, reach Checherleg and set up the general headquarters of the campaign!"

Wang Jun stood at attention and said, "Yes, Commander, I will immediately notify the various departments to prepare!" After hesitating for a while, he said, "Master, I do not agree that the General Command should reach Dache Tserleg before the troops, that would be too dangerous! Can I lead some of the staff first, and you and the headquarters will follow the troops, which is safer!"
