Age of Rebirth

.

The location of spn Liu Tiehan's headquarters is a high ground overlooking the entire Urez River Bridge. Because it is [-] kilometers away from the river, the specific actions of the Soviet army cannot be seen clearly, only a vast expanse of white car lights , Somewhere on the west bank of the Ullez River, half of the sky is illuminated, and the faint sound of the car engine can be heard faintly.

At three o'clock in the morning on September 29th, Liu Tiehan put down his binoculars and said to Li Guangjin, the chief of the combat department: "Guangjin, order all troops to prepare for battle. The Soviet army should act!"

Li Guangjin agreed and went to make a call. Suddenly, Liu Tiehan hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Li Guangjin turned his head in surprise, seeing the deputy division commander concentrating on observing the direction of the Urez River, he couldn't help asking qgu: "Deputy division commander, what's going on?"

Liu Tiehan turned around, gritted his teeth loudly, bulged the muscles of his cheeks, and said angrily: "It's not right, it's itchy." Signs, the Soviet army did not move!" [

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could understand what happened. What Liu Tiehan was most worried about was that the Soviet commander smelled an abnormal smell. On the battlefield, the commander who rolled over in blood and fire was the Those who have such an intuition, such as Liu Tiehan himself, have an almost instinctive premonition of danger.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that after the Soviet army crossed the Urez River, they stayed for 10 to [-] minutes and did not intend to continue marching. The only way to go, you can leave a regiment of troops guarding, and there is no reason why every army looks at a bridge.

What's more, the Soviet army stayed on the west bank of the river, and it didn't mean to guard the bridge.Now that there is a plan to attack Kulun, what's the point of staying by the Urez River, the most important thing is the speed of soldiers.

Liu Tiehan's heart suddenly became anxious, and he thought nervously: "Could it be that the Soviet army is waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive, and then march in together?

If this is the case, it will be difficult for him to fight the battle. The three brigades in the front are too different in strength, and they will not be able to withstand the advance of the four Soviet armies no matter what.Even if the Soviet army can be blocked and surrounded by troops on the left and right flanks, the three brigades blocked will have more than two-thirds of casualties.

It was three past five in the morning.Colonel Li Guangjin, Chief of Operations, put down the phone.Said to Liu Tiehan: "Deputy commander. I received a call from the brigade commanders of the forward troops. It has exceeded the scheduled attack time by 5 minutes. The troops are ready to attack. The brigade commanders ask for your approval to launch the attack immediately!"

After a pause, Li Guangjin suggested: "Deputy division commander. The attack time has been delayed again and again, and the time has passed. I'm afraid the situation will change. More than [-] people from the three brigades are ambushing on the ground. If you are not careful, the target will be exposed. It is much better to fight now than to wait passively, so my opinion is to attack immediately!"

Liu Tiehan gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Wait! I'd rather wait than put the leading Soviet army in my pocket. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the old man's gourd?" In desperation, Liu Tiehan Tie Han also swears.

Nothing unexpected happened, and the Soviet army didn't even notice that not far ahead, there were more than 5 horses in an ambush. The reason for the Soviet army's delay in leaving is simple and ridiculous.

The time for a short rest is coming soon, and Army Commander Aslanov is about to order the troops to move on. At this time, the Chief of Staff of the Army came over and handed him a telegram with an expression on his face. Comrade Chief, a telegram from Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko, asking us why the troops stopped without asking for instructions?"

When Commander Aslanov heard this, he was furious at that time, his hands and feet were cold, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn it! The villain who made a small report behind his back, it's a big deal, you don't want to go to the headquarters , who would know? Besides, as a military commander, I don’t even have the right to order the troops to rest for 10 minutes? After returning to the front army system, don’t you get out of the third army, you son of a bitch, my military commander Don't do it!"

Without looking at the smug chief of staff, and without reaching out to answer the telegram, Army Commander Aslanov yelled at a staff officer beside him: "What are you still doing in a daze? Tell some division commanders and give them another three or ten minutes." , Hurry up to refuel the tanks and trucks, repair the damaged vehicles, if you still can't start on time, don't mess with the third army, go wherever you like cool!"

This staff officer is also a clever man. Hearing the commander's roar, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, stood at attention with a "snap", and replied loudly: "Yes, Comrade Commander, I will pass on your order immediately!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for the chief of staff to react, he ran away, muttering to himself, "I am afraid that the chief of staff will catch me and ask him carefully. If I reveal my truth, neither the army commander nor the chief of staff can afford to offend me. It is the best policy to go!"

Because of a small report from the chief of staff, the Soviet Third Army stayed on the west bank of the Urez River for an extra 10 minutes. It doesn't matter in your eyes, anyway, Commander Aslanov did it like this, what's the matter with you, you can make a small report if you have the ability?

Ignoring the chief of staff who was frozen in the field, Commander Aslanov turned around and left. An unexpected episode made Liu Tiehan anxious like frying fire, and almost didn't make a move in advance!

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, the Soviet Third Army, which had stayed on the west bank of the Urez River for more than an hour, finally moved. The headlights of the car cut the night sky, and they came towards Dongzhi's preset ambush position in a daze.

"Thank God! It finally moved!" Liu Tiehan threw away the binoculars, sat down on the cannon box, and said with a long sigh of relief.

Colonel Li Guangjin, the director of the combat department, immediately picked up the phone without waiting for Liu Tiehan's order, "All the troops, the Soviet army has started to move, the deputy division commander ordered, get ready for battle!"

Putting down the phone, Li Guangjin asked: "Deputy division commander, how do you conclude that the Soviet army will continue to advance without discovering our position? I'm sweating!" [

Liu Tiehan smiled wryly, and said with a guilty conscience: "What is the conclusion? I am betting that we will not be discovered by the Soviet army! The commander of the Soviet army believes that our main force is under the command of the division commander. For the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region, there are no troops from us on this route, fortunately we made the right bet!"

At around 29:[-] am on September [-], the vanguard of the Third Army of the Soviet Far East Front approached the position of the East Pointing Army, and the phone calls of the forward troops were always reporting the distance of the Soviet Army.

Li Guangjin took the phone and said to Liu Tiehan: "Deputy division commander, the forward troops report that the Soviet army has entered the infantry shooting range!"

Liu Tiehan clenched his fist violently and roared, "Hit!"

In front of the vanguard of the Soviet army, countless flames suddenly flashed, like lightning flashes in the night sky. Groups of cannons, dragging dark red tail flames, swept across the night sky above the vanguard of the Soviet army, heading towards the sky. Flying behind, and then, a thunderous muffled sound rolled in, and the two artillery brigades pointed to the east, with hundreds of large-caliber howitzers, began to bombard the Soviet army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Groups of cannons fell from the sky and plunged into the Soviet army's marching ranks. Loud noises, flames, gunpowder smoke, soil, gravel, pieces, limbs, flesh and blood, and broken guns all burned. cars, rendering the night into a terrifying hell.

The Soviet troops in the rear were hit by artillery, while the Soviet troops in front suffered countless blows. It was as if an electric current was suddenly connected. In the dark field, sparks suddenly burst out, and the sparks were dense. They were connected together, stretching for dozens of kilometers, dense like raindrops, cutting through the night sky, like a wall, slamming into the Soviet army's marching ranks, it was thousands of light and heavy machine guns, the metal volleys fired jet.

The first wave of artillery was effective fire, which almost covered the rear guard of the third army.

When the cannon was still roaring in the sky, Commander Aslanov jumped out of the moving car with unprecedented agility and lay down with standard movements. In the middle of the marching ranks, fortunately, the first wave of shelling by the Dongzhi artillery did not fall on him.

Lying on the cold and wet ground, Army Commander Aslanov turned his head and saw his rear guard, which had been shrouded in flames and smoke from cannon explosions. "Ambush by the Independent Division!" This was his first reaction, but qgu's question was, why did the gun fall to the rear instead of shelling the troops in front?

A communications soldier with a radio on his back ran up to Commander Aslanov, panting, and said, "Report to the Commander, the avant-garde troops report that they were blocked by the infantry weapons of the Independent Division!"

Commander Aslanov, who is experienced in the battlefield, quickly realized that the troops of the independent division had already ambushed in front, which is ridiculous. , It must not be a small group of independent divisions, and there are so many large-caliber howitzers that burn the bank of the Urez River into a sea of ​​​​flames. The whereabouts of their own troops have long been mastered by the Chinese.

No wonder there was no blockage of any kind along the way. It turned out that the cunning Chinese were waiting for me here. A burst of fear came to my heart. Looking at the battlefield full of flames and explosions, it seemed that it was about to engulf the ground. All living creatures.

After the initial panic, Commander Aslanov calmed down and ordered: "Convey the order of the military headquarters to each division, disperse in place, and immediately fight back. The avant-garde tank brigade, cover the infantry and attack the enemy's position! Open the gap !"
