Age of Rebirth

In Checherleg in the northern part of Outer Mongolia, at about 27 o'clock in the afternoon on September [-], the fourth attack of the Fifth Mechanized Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union was repelled again, and the corpses of Soviet soldiers lay on the battlefield , Wounded soldiers were being treated, howling in pain, gunpowder smoke from the battlefield drifted away, revealing the sun falling like blood, and the air was filled with a scorched and pungent smell of blood.

Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the Independent Division East Command, smelt of gunpowder smoke all over his body, sneaked into the campaign headquarters, grabbed the water bottle on the box, drank heavily, wiped his mouth, and moved towards the division commander Tang Qiuli. Said: "Master, it's not enough to fight, let us leave the four artillery brigades alone, the artillery commander Zheng Yong's phone calls have all reached the forward command post, let alone the Soviet Fifth Army's combat effectiveness is strong enough , and the equipment is not bad."

"To attack my regiment's position, I was willing to dispatch more than 50 tanks at a time. It's a big deal. However, our bazooka and recoil guns turned all the Soviet tanks into a pile of scrap iron. Commander Zheng Yong Let me ask you, when will the artillery come on? Several artillery groups are ready!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Yang Ketian, who had been in Dongzhi for more than a year, and his personality became more cheerful and confident. Looking at his radiant demeanor, he was secretly happy. Yang Ketian had gradually grown from a staff member to a staff member. The commander with a unique reputation has undergone an astonishing change. It was right to put him next to Liu Tiehan in the first place.

He was happy in his heart, but on the surface he said coldly: "You don't need to speak, what do you think? Let Zheng Yong tell me directly, why don't you understand. Just patronizing your own pain, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region, There is no action yet, we are fighting hard here, what if Kurygin does not move?" [

Yang Ketian shrank his neck and said embarrassedly: "Teacher, I just said this casually. Let's set up four brigades at the front. Didn't we use light and heavy machine guns and mortars to repel four Soviet attacks?" , don't overthink it!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and was about to speak when the phone on the box rang. He shook his head and picked up the phone.Asked: "I am Shi Zhi, where are you?"

"Master, I'm the artillery commander Zheng Yong, I'm talking to the division commander!" On the other end of the phone, Major General Zheng Yong, the artillery commander of the independent division, said in a rough voice.The tone is quite aggressive.

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, and said, "I am Tang Qiuli, Zheng Yong, are you so angry, what's the matter?"

Zheng Yong on the other end of the phone stuck out his tongue.The tone immediately lowered by an octave, "Master, several artillery group leaders entrusted me to ask you for instructions. The battle has been going on for more than three hours, and the artillery is ready to fire at any time! Don't worry, the first round is guaranteed." "Shoot", blow up the old Maozi's artillery and tanks to the sky! The infantry rush up and clean up the battlefield!"

Tang Qiuli's tone suddenly increased, and he said, "Zheng Yong, don't beat around the bush. I think it's what the other group leaders mean. I think it's your own meaning. Why, can't sit on the bench anymore? Let me repeat, You fight the battle, wait for orders, if you are still anxious, go to the division commander, I need an artillery staff officer!"

Zheng Yong was frightened, grinned, and hurriedly said: "Master, the artillery will resolutely implement the orders of the division headquarters, and wait patiently. Master, do you have any other instructions? If you don't have one, I will die!"

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yong wiped the sweat from his brow, and angrily said to the commanders of the artillery brigade who were looking at him anxiously: "It's just a bad idea, why did you take the initiative to ask for a fight, and I was scolded by the commander, almost My son was transferred to the division commander as the artillery liaison staff officer, we have been with the division commander for not one or two years, and we still don’t know the division commander’s temper, come on, let’s all go back to our respective artillery groups!”

Several artillery brigade commanders asked unwillingly: "I said Commander Zheng, what did the division commander say?"

Zheng Yong squinted at several brigade commanders, but shouted loudly: "Waiting for orders!"

The Armored Forces Headquarters of the Independent Division, the commander of Major General Battelle, is receiving a call from Major General Hao Mengting, the commander of the Fourth Tank Brigade, "Brigade Commander Hao, I have said it again, there is no order from the division, our task is to hide ourselves and wait Order! No, without the order of the division commander, any action is against the discipline of the battlefield, and it must be carried out in strict accordance with the combat plan!"

Putting down the phone, Battelle said to the chief of staff, Colonel Xu Rong with a wry smile: "Rong, our commander is still impatient. When I was in the First Panzer Army of the German Army, I obeyed the orders of my superiors. I don’t dare to ask why, but the German army’s strict military discipline, strict hierarchy, and ancient martial arts tradition are still commendable, and we need to learn a lot from them!”

Xu Rong said with a smile: "Commander, the eagerness of the brigade commanders is understandable. Are you eager to fight, especially when you hear that the front line is so lively and the Soviet army has dispatched a large number of tanks to attack our position. It's not like a cat scratching, it's the excitement of meeting an opponent, this kind of emotion is rare!"

Battelle thought Xu Rong's words were very reasonable, so he said with a smile: "Actually, I was more anxious than them when I heard the gunfire on the front line. ’Come on, let’s wait for the order to attack!”

Putting down Zheng Yong's phone call, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Call all the brigade commanders and commanders of the hidden troops on the second line again, be calm, don't get impatient, and , Don’t use your own thoughts to interfere with the commander’s command! If the brigade commander or commander loses his composure, come to me, and I will calm him down!”

Zhao Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, but did not move. Tang Qiuli was about to ask him why, when Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army and deputy chief of staff of the campaign headquarters, hurried in, "Report to the commander, take According to the report from the reconnaissance unit, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region has moved, and it’s all going south!”

Tang Qiuli raised his thick eyebrows, his spirits lifted, and he asked, "Chief of Staff Wang, tell me about the specific situation. When did the main force of the Soviet Army leave the south bank of the Selenge River? What is the speed of the march? ?”

Wang Jun replied: "According to intelligence, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region went south at around five o'clock this afternoon, at the speed of a mechanized rapid march. Huqierting Aben area in the north."

After a pause, Wang Jun continued: "According to the current marching speed of the Soviet army, if it goes south day and night, its main force will arrive at Hagengaule to Baiyin at about 28 o'clock in the morning on September [-]th." In the area around Chagan, nearly an hour and a half earlier than our original scheduled launch time, Commander, this will have a great impact on our campaign plan. Moreover, the march of the Soviet army is very long, I am afraid When the time comes, the outpost will start, and the rear guard of the Soviet army will still be outside the ambush circle," Wang Jun said without worry. [

Tang Qiuli frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Well, as long as the Soviet army arrives, it will be fine. The troops in front will be on the Checheerleg line for an extra hour and a half, so that the Soviet army can gather again. The deployment of the outflanking troops on the two wings remains unchanged, and the time of launching the battle remains unchanged. Chief of Staff Wang ordered to flank the small units of the Soviet Fifth Army and stop the harassment."

Then, he said to Yang Ketian who hadn't left yet: "Ketian, your troops are under a lot of pressure. After all, you have to face 25 to [-] Soviet troops. Although the consumption of several battles has gone through, the strength of your troops is still huge. The front line of Checheerleg is no match for the natural barrier of the "Se" Lengge River. The fourth and fifth brigades of the directly affiliated regiment hidden in the second line are also transferred up, and six brigades are deployed at the same time. It is enough. If necessary, you can Fight back!"

Yang Ketian said nonchalantly: "Master, no matter how many Soviet troops come, it is rare, but can we use artillery and tanks?"

Tang Qiuli said bluntly: "Yes, but only one artillery brigade and one tank brigade are allowed for counterattack!"

Yang Ketian muttered in dissatisfaction: "You're so stingy!" Tang Qiuli glared at him, which made him close his mouth in fright.

Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe again, "Yuhe, after the battle started, the troops on both wings immediately began to compress the Soviet army's battlefield space. At the same time, I ordered Liu Chun's cavalry troops to pay attention to cutting off the Soviet army's logistics supply line. Stay on the retreat!"

After deploying these, Tang Qiuli smiled and said to several people: "It's not easy. It took a lot of effort to get the old fox Kurykin to take the bait. Our strength is roughly equal to that of the Soviet army, and it belongs to Ketang. There is no surplus at all, so I told Liu Hongzhang of the East Road Attack Group that the bridges of the West Road Attack Group are full of mountains, and the attack on both wings must be fought fiercely from the beginning, giving full play to the full firepower advantage and giving the Soviet army the greatest strength. Kill! Change the balance of forces between the enemy and us on the battlefield!"

Tang Qiuli called Yang Ketian again, and told him in detail: "Ketian, the way of fighting before and after the start of the battle is different. Now it is to show the enemy weakness. After the official attack begins, the troops in the front must use the most ferocious firepower. , beat the Soviet army back, Battelle's tank unit will be responsible for the frontal assault! At that time, how many artillery pieces you have, how many cannons, open them up! How to fight the artillery, coordinate with Zheng Yong."

Yang Ketian jumped up happily, and said excitedly: "Master, I'm just waiting for your words. Don't worry, the Soviet army can withstand the six brigades' assault across the board? I will rush to the artillery headquarters immediately!" After finishing speaking, respect With a military salute, he walked briskly with the wind, and left happily.

Several people went to work separately, and the shelter suddenly fell silent. Tang Qiuli stood in front of the map, looked up for a while, walked to a phone, picked up the receiver and said, "Is it the switchboard? I'm the teacher, Tang Qiu. Li, pick me up Commander Le Yiqin of the Southern Aviation Group of the Air Force!"
