Age of Rebirth

There was a brief burst of shelling, using mortars, but the effect was surprisingly good. The light and heavy machine guns that threatened the cavalry the most were destroyed. The Soviet commander never expected that the artillery of the independent division would dare to attack the cavalry. When the cavalry of one's own side charged, they fired cannons. Could it be that these Chinese are crazy, and they are not afraid that the shells will blow up their cavalry?

He Zhuguo is not crazy, but it is risky enough. If you are a timid person, you will tremble when you think about it. How fast the cavalry charge is, the distance of three or four kilometers can be reached in a few minutes. He didn't grasp the timing well, and it was a few minutes away, which was the result of the shells falling into his own cavalry charge formation.

He Zhuguo's desperate style of play spread to the East Finger Command. After the battle, Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander, was so angry that he called He Zhuguo to the headquarters for a violent training. According to the staff of the headquarters, the deputy division commander The roar of furious anger lasted for more than half an hour, but when Brigadier He came out, he was full of complacency, as if he had received an award, making everyone unable to guess what was going on?

The shelling came to an abrupt end, just as suddenly as it had started, and before the smoke had fully spread, He Zhuguo's cavalry had already rushed into the pile of Soviet soldiers. Next, there were flashes of bright swords and the sound of horseshoes. , the "clang clang" sound when the knife and gun collided, the "pu chi" sound of the blade entering the body, the screams of the dying person, and the whistling wind, intertwined together.

Seventeen or eight thousand cavalry, like a sharp machete, slashed into the ranks of the Soviet army. The impact was unprecedentedly fierce. Under the sudden blow, the Soviet army immediately fell into chaos, with sabers flying and horseshoes trampling. Blood and corpses.They flew by like flying, and when the Soviet soldiers came back to their senses, piles of corpses of their comrades fell beside them.

He Zhuguo reined in the horse's head, and the blood on the saber dripped onto the withered grass. His body and face were all splattered with blood, like a god of death from hell. "Send a signal and order the regiments to start two A charge!" The tone was cold.Not at all emotional, like the Soviet soldier who fell under his knife just now, like a lifeless tree.

The Dongzhi cavalry mixed into a brigade of eight regiments, reorganized their formation a little, and began to fight back again.He Zhuguo commanded troops on the west bank of the Onon River.It was a lively fight.On the east bank of the river, Major General Chen Guozhu, the commander of the [-]th Brigade who was observing the situation on the battlefield, broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't stop muttering: "This old man, what a mess! How can the cavalry start charging after the cavalry charge? style of play!"

but.It seems to work well!Chen Guozhu put down the binoculars, and felt itchy in his heart. If at this time, the Tenth Brigade will attack from all directions.Crossing the river and joining the battlefield, he would definitely have a good fight, but he still gave up this tempting idea, he knew very well what his mission was!

The four heads of the [-]th brigade, surrounded by Chen Guozhu, raised their binoculars from time to time, looked at the battlefield on the other side with a greedy face, and kept agitating, "Brigade commander, look at how lively the cavalry fight is. The Soviet army is already in disarray and cannot organize an effective resistance at all. If we attack with the whole brigade, we can still win battles. Otherwise, when the deputy commander and the others catch up, we won't even be able to get a bite of leftovers. Thanks to the panic! !"

"Brigade Commander, even if the whole brigade doesn't attack, Lao Jiang's regiment and I can do it!" The four regiment leaders chattered and stomped their feet anxiously.

Chen Guozhu was overjoyed, his face tensed, and he said: "Thank you for having such an idea, you just want to have a good time. The order of the deputy division commander is to let our brigade block the Soviet army's retreat, and no one can be let go. Cavalry It is suitable for the current battlefield situation, and they all ran across the river. What if some Soviet troops slipped over? The encirclement battle has become a pursuit battle, can the Tenth Brigade hold its head up?"

More than 5000 soldiers from the [-]th Brigade didn't have long to be envious. The Soviet army, who had escaped the cavalry sabers, rushed to the east bank recklessly. What greeted them was a roar of light and heavy machine guns, and a rain of bullets like locusts? All of a sudden, tens of thousands of Soviet troops were beaten back.

He Zhuguo's cavalry brigade did not enjoy the fight. Just after the second charge, the seven brigades commanded by Liu Tiehan surrounded them from the left, right and rear, and encircled the remaining 7 Soviet soldiers in Hubei. West Bank of the Nen River.

At this point, the remnants of the three armies of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, who had traveled thousands of miles to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, finally came to a dead end. On the evening of October [-], the encirclement was formed. possible.

Liu Tiehan led the East Pointing Command, and followed the frontal pursuit troops to the front line at the same time. Standing on a low hill, Liu Tiehan looked around the vast land, the north wind at dusk, blowing the skirts of his army coat, watching the sound of guns and guns The battlefield that has been thinned out suddenly filled with pride.

Seven days and seven nights of uninterrupted bloody battles finally drove this rather powerful Soviet army to a desperate situation, pointing east to the brigades, and their performance in this battle was remarkable, "Guangjin, give the division immediately It means to send a report and report the battle situation, and at the same time, order the troops to stop attacking, rest on the battlefield, recharge their spirits, and end the lives of the Soviet troops in the encirclement tomorrow!" Liu Tiehan said loudly to Li Guangjin, the chief of the combat department.

"The division pointed out that the remnants of the three armies of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, about [-] people, were encircled by our troops in the area on the west bank of the Onon River at dusk today. By the time the telegram was sent, the Soviet army had been compressed to less than a hundred Within the narrow range of the mile, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through."

"In the past few days, the troops have been in the pursuit of the battle, and the troops are extremely tired. Therefore, our department suspended the offensive, rested on the battlefield, and adjusted the deployment. It is planned to encircle the Soviet troops in the north at [-] o'clock in the morning on October [-]th. Launch a general attack until it is completely wiped out!"

"Okay! Deputy Commander Liu really made an extraordinary move, and he gnawed a hard bone. In a sense, the impact of annihilating the four armies of the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army is far greater than the record of annihilating the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region. I am afraid that at this time , Stalin is suffering in pain!" Holding Liu Tiehan's telegram, Tang Qiuli said with a beaming smile.

All the officers in the headquarters had smiles on their faces, and the joy of the division commander infected everyone.

Tang Qiuli comfortably lit a cigarette, exhaled light blue smoke, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, call back Deputy Commander Liu, I know all about the call, and I am very happy for my brother's victory. It is really necessary to launch a general offensive in the early morning to wipe out the Soviet army. The East Pointing Army can free up its hands and enter the Chita line, and then the eastern part of Outer Mongolia will be safe from now on!"

After Zhao Yuhe finished recording the telegram, he handed it to a staff officer in the staff office for sending, and then said to Tang Qiuli, "Master, can you clarify the next move of the Corps directly under it?"

Tang Qiuli said quite easily: "Dongzhi solved an arm stretched out by the Soviet Far East Front Army, and we have no worries about the future. The order, the first and second brigades directly under the Corps, immediately march northward and capture Il Kutsk, the [-]rd and [-]th brigades, to capture Ulan-Ude, the [-]th and [-]th brigades, to capture Barnur, and the above departments, with the aim of controlling the area around Lake Baikal and clearing the scattered Soviet troops."

"The 20th and [-]th Brigades should immediately advance westward to the Uliasutai area, join the [-]th and [-]th Brigades, and Li Changjiang's [-]th Cavalry Brigade to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Third Army here. Not retreating, the third army that has been wandering west of Kulun for more than [-] days, and it is time to solve it. I have never figured out what the purpose of Kurykin sending such a lone army westward was. ?”

Zhao Yuhe shook his head with a smile, and said, "Master, I can't figure it out either. If it's a surprise soldier, the purpose is to attack Kulun, and the direction of the march is wrong. If it's to contain our troops from the Transcaucasus Military Region, the force is too small. An infantry division, with only [-] people, what can it do, if I have a chance to meet that Kurygin, I must ask him!"

Tang Qiuli couldn't stop laughing, then, looking at Zhao Yuhe with piercing eyes, he said, "Yuhe, I have a task for you. Together with Yang Ketian, command the No.11 and No.12 brigades directly under the Corps, pointing east to the three The mechanized brigade, as well as the two tank brigades of the armored forces, immediately marched northward, sweeping all the bases and strongholds of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union. I want to extend Stalin’s arm to Outer Mongolia and completely abolish it! The Transcaucasus Military Region should also be removed Already!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Commander, Yuhe will live up to his trust and uproot the remnants of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region! As the division commander said, after this battle, northern Outer Mongolia There are no Soviet troops to threaten us!"

Tang Qiuli looked at the high-spirited young chief of staff approvingly, and said: "This time when you go deep into Mobei, you must be cautious at every step, steady and steady, and make steady progress. You don't seek speed, but quality. In this area, the Soviets The foundation and influence are deeply rooted, you have to take this into consideration, and if necessary, you can take extraordinary measures, don’t be afraid of killing people, sometimes, blood will make some people clear their minds!"

With a slight sigh, Tang Qiuli went on to say: "I am not a bloodthirsty person, but I can't let go of the butcher's knife. Let's not talk about this issue. Yuhe, the current situation is unprecedentedly beneficial to us. The Soviet army in the surrounding areas of Outer Mongolia The military strength has been completely lost, and it is the best time to enter the surrounding areas of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Union's original sphere of influence!"

"Sun Zhenbang has recovered and been discharged from the hospital. I am going to let him take command of the Uliasutai campaign. During this time, he has been choked up in the hospital, so he should be released for a big fight. Then, after the Uliasutai battle The troops formed a westward marching corps, went out to the west of Outer Mongolia, occupied the Yenisei River Basin, took Minusinsk, and destroyed Stalin's other important army gathering place in the west of Outer Mongolia. Only in this way can the surrounding area of ​​Outer Mongolia be considered truly safe. !"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli sighed, "Including Deputy Division Commander Liu's troops, the three-pronged attack will be another protracted battle!"
