Age of Rebirth

The two well-equipped mechanized armies of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union were equipped with more than 500 large-caliber artillery pieces and more than [-] tanks. After fighting for more than ten hours, they were unable to penetrate the second-rate troops of the Independent Division. Erleg's second blocking line, which annoyed the commander of the military region, General Kurykin, did not hesitate to attack Major General Kuryakov of the Fifth Army and Major General Aslanov of the Ninth Army. , issued a threat of decapitation.

In fact, General Kurygin was most worried about these things in his heart. He was most afraid of the breakthrough battle of Checherleg, which would be a stalemate like the battle of Selenge River, and the entanglement would last for seven or eight days.

No need for more, as long as the independent division of the Outer Mongolian Border Guards blocked themselves in Checherleg for three days, not counting the two days needed to approach Kulun, it would be the end of September, surpassing the leaders of the Transcaucasus Military Region Comrade Stalin will take his own head without the Chinese beating him to death.

Of course, the battle to regain Outer Mongolia would not stop because he was beheaded by Comrade Stalin. The flags and drums died down. The Soviet Red Army did not lack senior generals. The General Staff could send any one over to command the troops to continue the fight.

As for himself, he became a tragic figure who was charged with crimes. No one would remember all the hard work and dedication in the early stage. The leader and the Soviet people would only remember the commander who conquered Kulun, the distraught General Kurykin, who wished to personally Going into battle shirtless, if the battle of Checherleg was turned into the battle of Selenge River, I would never survive.It's better to let the son of a soldier of the independent division kill himself.Anyway, you can still be a martyr! [

Under the pressure of General Kurykin, Major General Kuryakov, commander of the Fifth Mechanized Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union, and Major General Aslanov, commander of the Ninth Army Mechanized Army, became red-eyed and commanded the troops to attack Yang Ketian. East refers to the three mechanized brigades, the positions defended by the three mechanized brigades directly under the Corps.The smoke filled the air, and the battle reached a fever pitch.

Under the night, the cannons were like meteors flying all over the sky, continuously falling on the positions of the independent division troops, flying like locusts, stirring up the air.There was a whistling sound from the typhoon, and the Soviet army's attack was out of order. It was completely filled with people, and the two armies, with 8 to [-] horses, launched uninterrupted assaults.Like the rising tide of sea water, this wave falls, and the coming wave rises again.

Yang Ketian's pressure suddenly increased, so he called the campaign headquarters and spoke directly to the division commander Tang Qiuli: "Mr. I ask the artillery group of the division to provide artillery support, interrupt the offensive momentum of the Soviet army, let the troops take a breather, replenish medicine, and carry the wounded!"

Tang Qiuli was unmoved, and replied in a stern tone: "Yang Ketian, don't complain to me, your troops haven't reached the point where they can't hold on, and the rear guard troops of the Soviet army haven't all entered the ambush circle yet. Let us reveal our intentions in advance. It is now 10:10 in the morning, and we have another 8 minutes to block. If you think you can't complete the mission, I can take over your command! With a force close to [-], we can't stand up to Su. An attack of [-] or [-] troops?"

In fact, Tang Qiuli also knew how much pressure the frontline troops were under. On the phone, he could hear the sound of gunfire, as well as the explosion of cannons. In this way, facing the frontline troops of the Soviet army, what should they do? With the support of very little artillery fire, the soldiers braved the intensive artillery fire of the Soviet army and used infantry weapons to repel more than a dozen attacks of the Soviet army.

Yang Ketian stomped his feet and shouted loudly: "Master, I take back what I said just now. Assault the group head-on and ensure that the mission is completed. I will stop the Soviet army for an hour and prevent a single Soviet soldier from crossing the Checheerleg defense line. I will go to the forward position." Already!"

Putting down the phone, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hesitated, and said: "Master, the Soviet army is eager to open the road to Kulun. The pressure on the frontline troops is huge. Launching the battle in advance will have too much impact on the overall situation. They did not enter the ambush circle. Most of the rear guard troops of the Soviet army are logistics and supplies, even if they are not surrounded, they will not be able to make much progress. If the blocking time is too long, the casualties of the troops will increase a lot. I suggest that you start counterattacking immediately!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "Yuhe, our military strength is almost equal to that of the Soviet army. According to Sun Tzu's Art of War, if we encircle him ten times, I will use more than 20 people to encircle the Soviet army with more than 20 people. For this reason, the troops have been used to the limit, why don't I adopt the tactics of encirclement on all sides, because there are not enough troops, I have to let go of the opening in the north, and let Liu Chun's cavalry troops block the opening, it is also a last resort!

"Yuhe, you know that cavalry troops are not suitable for positional warfare, but I don't have other troops to use. Also, the area from Hagengaole to Baiyinchagan is more than [-] kilometers long from north to south, and more than [-] kilometers wide from east to west. Kilometers, the battlefield space is so huge, the thickness of the encircled troops is very small, let alone the depth of the battle, the stuffing is big and the skin is thin, and if there is a little carelessness, the Soviet army will break out of the encirclement. After a scuffle, the outcome of the battle will be any Unpredictable!"

"At that time, the plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Soviet Army will come to naught. If Stalin is not hurt, he will not dare to use the brains of Outer Mongolia. This will affect the future strategic structure of Outer Mongolia. Stalin would not stab a knife in the back."

"Now, although there is pressure on the frontal blocking troops, this is also the best time to consume the Soviet army's vitality. Our army relies on fortifications to defend, and the Soviet army is the main attack. The casualties will definitely exceed ours by several times. , Disabling the two main forces of Kurykin will fundamentally change the balance of forces between the enemy and ourselves, and weaken the Soviet army in terms of morale, which will be extremely beneficial to the next battle plan!"

Zhao Yu and Mo Ran, Tang Qiuli said to him with a smile: "Don't look at Yang Ketian complaining, in fact, he is far from the danger of being breached by the Soviet army. He is used to fighting with the support of powerful artillery fire. See I have a few artillery brigades and tank brigades in my hand, I feel uncomfortable and not used to it!"

Zhao Yuhe smiled, as the division commander said, since entering the customs to fight against the Japanese army, the large corps of the independent division did not exceed the firepower of the Japanese army by several times or even more than ten times. On the ground, artillery fire roared and tanks roared. , In the sky, fighter planes roared, how could these things be missing, let alone Yang Ketian, even I was not used to it.

At 28 o'clock in the morning on September [-], Yang Ketian's frontal assault group fought with the two Soviet mechanized armies for more than eight hours. Just as Tang Qiuli judged, the Soviet army suffered huge casualties. Without losing an inch of ground, it was like a wall of iron and steel, and the attacking Soviet troops were beaten to death.

As soon as the crazy momentum passed, the morale of the Soviet army gradually declined. Major General Kuryakov and Major General Aslanov could no longer produce a fully organized regiment for fierce attacks. There are more than [-] regiments of the elite mechanized army, and two tank brigades go into battle in turn. Every time they attack, they leave a lot of corpses, and bring back several wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs, crying in pain, basically crippled. Casualties exceeded one third.

Yang Ketian's phone call reached the teacher again, "Master, the Soviet army can't move anymore. There are corpses in front of the position. The density and strength of the attack have weakened a lot. The casualties of the troops are not large. I assure you, there is no need to attack." Artillery and tank support, not to mention blocking for 10 minutes, even two hours is not a problem!"

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly and said, "Stop complaining? The time is almost up, order the troops and prepare to fight back!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Wang Jun hurried in and said with a happy face: "Master, after receiving the report from the reconnaissance troops, all the rear guard troops of the Soviet Army have entered our ambush circle!"

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch. At 28:10 am on September [-], about [-] minutes later than originally planned, he said to Zhao Yuhe and Wang Jun: "Order the troops to launch a counterattack across the board!" [

Dozens of telephones and radio stations quickly issued orders to various units.

Major General Zheng Yong, the artillery commander of the Independent Division, was circling anxiously in the headquarters, looking at the hour hand of his watch. After five thirty, the phone that several staff officers were staring at to communicate directly with the division headquarters was still There was no movement, Zheng Yong stretched out his hand to the phone several times, but withdrew it again, muttering incessantly, "What's going on? What's going on? Why hasn't the teacher issued an order? I'm almost dying of anxiety! "

"Dingling!" The phone rang suddenly and quickly, which startled Zheng Yong. He rushed ahead of the staff officer, picked up the phone, and before the other party finished speaking, he turned to the staff officer and said, "Order the artillery group!" , Immediately bombard the Soviet artillery positions, the rocket artillery regiment, the Soviet infantry, the self-propelled artillery regiment, bombard the Soviet army in depth, and tell the artillery group leaders that I demand full coverage of artillery fire!"

The armored troops of the Independent Division, Major General Battelle, the commander, sat in the armored command vehicle, his face seemed calm, but his heart was more anxious, and he kept looking at his watch. Around him were four tank brigades ready to go, 1000 Many tanks, the sound of motors was deafening, and they rang together. As long as an order was given, the armored torrent would rush towards the Soviet army like a raging tide.

"Report! Commander, the division commander ordered my armored troops to immediately launch an assault on the Soviet army in front of me!" a staff officer reported loudly.

Battelle raised his thick eyebrows, and said concisely: "Order the troops to attack at full speed!"

The troops commanded by Liu Hongzhang of the East Road Assault Group and the troops commanded by Qiao Manshan of the West Road Assault Group also launched an attack on the two wings of the Soviet Army at the same time. At 28:20 am on September [-], the independent division commanded by Tang Qiuli With more than [-] troops, the assault on the Soviet army has begun!
