Age of Rebirth

The independent division refers to the chief of staff Zhao Yu and the major general, excited by the new mission assigned by the division commander Tang Qiuli. As the chief of staff, his main duty is to assist the division commander in commanding the troops and implement and execute the division commander's orders. Lead troops to fight.

For Tang Qiuli's emotional words, there is no deeper feeling, but more, the excitement of going to the battlefield. What appeared in front of him was the scene of a battlefield full of gold and iron horses, and the artillery fire. Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, and took Zhao Yu and The facial expression has a panoramic view.

"Yuhe, call Sun Zhenbang, inform him of the appointment of the teacher, and let him set off directly from Kulun to the battlefield of Uliasutai, so there is no need to come here, waste time! Yuhe! Yuhe!" Tang Qiu Li yelled twice, and Zhao Yuhe woke up from his reverie.

Zhao Yuhe was a little embarrassed, and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, I'll inform Commander Sun immediately!"

Seeing Zhao Yuhe's back disappearing in front of his eyes, Tang Qiuli smiled knowingly. He did this because he had a deeper consideration. Every chief of staff around him must have a separate leader to command and command. The experience of combat is to train my ability to be independent in the future. I hope that the chief of staff who goes out from the side can have a broader vision and overall concept. In short, he is a military and political talent who can independently guard one side. .

Feng Jiwu is like this, Li Honggang is like this, Zhao Yuhe should be like this, including Chang Feng who is sitting on the bench in Dingbian, they are all such talents, it is a pity that Chang Feng with outstanding comprehensive ability originally had such an opportunity, but , Good fortune makes people, Chang Feng's personality makes the opportunity miss, think of Chang Feng.In Tang Qiuli's heart, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful and melancholy.

When Tang Qiuli was in the northern part of Outer Mongolia, planning the war situation and preparing to enter Mobei with a large-scale army, because the Far Eastern Front Army reinforced the Outer Mongolian battlefield troops and fell into the encirclement of Liu Tiehan Dongzhi troops on the west bank of the Onen River in eastern Outer Mongolia, the Soviet army The General Staff has fallen into chaos.

Ever since Lieutenant General Yemenchenko's troops were bitten by Liu Tiehan Dongzhi's troops.Marshal Petroshilov, chief of the Soviet army's general staff, had a premonition that the prospects of the Far East Front Army's troops were not good, and he was already mentally prepared, but this bad premonition became a reality.It's another story.

The telegram from Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, the commander in the encirclement, was like a blockbuster.The explosion made Marshal Petroshilov dizzy. "The high command was transferred to Comrade Stalin. During the retreat of our department for seven consecutive days and nights, although all the soldiers worked hard and fought hard, they were still unable to get rid of the entanglement of the independent division troops. Until October [-]th. In Onen The area on the west bank of the river was attacked by the pre-arranged troops of the Independent Division, all of whom were cavalry. After several hours of fierce fighting, the troops suffered heavy casualties and were unable to break through the encirclement of the Independent Division."

"By the time the telegram was sent, there were only more than [-] troops left, and all heavy equipment, tanks, and trucks were lost. The area that could be controlled was only more than a hundred miles away, and it was still being compressed step by step by the independent division. In view of this, if there is no outside Rescue, the consequences are unimaginable, I will consider other ways out as a last resort."

It was the last implied threat that made Marshal Petroshilov terrified, "What do you mean? Could it be that Yemenchenko is going to follow Kurygin's old path and surrender to Tang Qiuli's troops?" Lei Jin, with Yemenchenko in the future, plus more than 50 troops, will he let himself, the chief of the general staff, live?

Marshal Petroshilov wandered around in the office for a long time, but he still went to Stalin's office. He couldn't hide this matter. After listening to the report, Stalin's face was as gloomy as Moscow October. The weather was cloudy, and Yemenchenko's telegram was slapped heavily on the desk.

Marshal Petroshilov tremblingly froze in front of the large desk, not daring to show his air. On the battlefield of Outer Mongolia, successive disastrous defeats took the Soviet Union's only mobile corps in the East, more than 30 troops from the Transcaucasus Military Region, into it. , Another nearly 20 people were recruited into the Far Eastern Front Army. If he, the chief of the general staff, said that he had no responsibility at all, he himself would not believe it.

After a long time, Stalin let out a breath of suffocation in his chest, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Comrade Petroshilov, is there no other way?"

Marshal Petroshilov, who is in a mess and has a muddled head, can't do anything, let alone more than 7 Far Eastern Front Army troops, falling into the encirclement of more than [-] independent division troops, the entire army is wiped out. The thing in an instant is to rescue, where to deploy troops?

It is impossible for Zhukov's troops to draw out any more soldiers. The Japanese are just about to move and transfer troops from other places. The eastern region has no troops to transfer. It is too late to transfer troops from Europe. That Tang Qiuli will not wait for reinforcements When we arrived, we started to attack again. After racking our brains and exhausting our efforts, Marshal Petroshilov couldn't help it.

"Comrade Stalin, we have no way to relieve the current crisis of the Far Eastern Front Army. You know, we have no troops to adjust, and..." Marshal Petroshilov said, the last sentence was a little bit Hesitating and spitting, hesitant to speak.

Stalin asked impatiently: "And what? Hesitate, speak clearly!"

Marshal Petroshilov plucked up his courage and said: "Furthermore, according to the characteristics of Tang Qiuli's use of troops, he is good at encircling and fighting for reinforcements. Will the troops we barely assembled be fooled again during the rescue process? We have to guard against ah!"

This is said evasively, and the implication is that when the troops of the Far Eastern Front were mobilized to rescue the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region, it was Comrade Stalin's arbitrary decision to make a decision. He failed to save people, but put himself in it. Yemenchenko's troops are alive and well. example.

Of course Stalin understood what he said, and he couldn't help feeling sad for a while. He could hear the deep meaning hidden in Petroshilov's tone. He blamed himself so much that he didn't dare to remind him. In the name of your General Staff, send a telegram to that Yemenchenko, reminding him not to have other thoughts, the only way to go is to die for the Soviet, even if the entire army is wiped out, don't even think about surrendering to the Chinese , and tell him that the relatives and family members of all officers will be taken care of in China!"

Marshal Petroshilov felt a chill in his heart. How could he not understand what Comrade Stalin meant? This is not a reminder, but a warning. They are imprisoned in concentration camps for a lifetime, or simply disappear, and they will fight to the end with the independent division.

Of course, Marshal Petroshilov would not point out these words, "Comrade Stalin, I will start to do it right away, do you have any instructions?" He asked respectfully.

Stalin waved his hand wordlessly, as if to chase away a fly. After Petroshilov left the office, he slumped on the chair, feeling a bit dazed. The very well-planned military operation to recover Outer Mongolia It was something he never thought of, and it was an unacceptable fact that he would end up in such a disastrous way with the loss of soldiers and generals. Why did this happen?

The disturbed thoughts made Stalin feel at a loss. Until the sky darkened, he still locked himself in the empty office without turning on a single light. Perhaps, the darkness gave him a better sense of security. In the corridor, the high-ranking officials and important figures in the party who came to report on their work were walking around anxiously, looking at their watches anxiously, but no one dared to disturb them.

At [-] o'clock in the morning on October [-]th, the general offensive of the Eastern Finger troops to encircle and annihilate the troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Front officially began. The artillery fire like a volcanic eruption lit up the night sky at dawn in advance. It became a sea of ​​flames, and the sound of a huge explosion echoed in the open grassland.

For this general attack, Liu Tiehan concentrated all the artillery of Dongzhi on the front line, more than 400 artillery pieces of various calibers, and within an hour, poured more than 7 shells into the encirclement. More than [-] Soviet troops Above the soldiers' heads, shells whizzed in, point after point of explosion, hitting the Soviet army's temporary position like a furnace of boiling molten iron.

At 10,000 o'clock on October 7th, the shelling stopped, and the Dongzhi troops launched an offensive. With the dawn of dawn, the shouts of [-]+ infantry were like thunder rolling in. Yemenchenko faithfully carried out the orders of the General Staff , ordered more than [-] Soviet soldiers to fight to the end, but the Soviet army, which had been hit by more than [-] shells, had no ability to fight back.

By 7 a.m. on October [-]th, the battle lasted for four hours. More than [-] Soviet soldiers in the encirclement were completely annihilated. Only more than [-] were captured. The rest were all buried on the battlefield. Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, deputy chief of staff of the Far Eastern Front Army, was killed by more than ten machine gun bullets. The battle in eastern Outer Mongolia ended victoriously.

Later, Liu Tiehan commanded the main force of Dongzhi, crossed the Onon River, and rushed to the Chita area in a mighty manner. Whether it was the General Staff of the Soviet Army or Tang Qiuli, they had no surprises about the outcome of the battle. Performance.

On the morning of October [-]th, Sun Zhenbang took a plane and arrived in the Uliasutai area. He unified commanded the sixth, seventh, ninth, and tenth brigades of the Corps directly under his command, as well as the fifth cavalry brigade of Li Changjiang of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army. Eight regiments of the Western Mongolian Regional Guard launched an attack on Sergeyev's [-]rd Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region, which was stagnant in the Ulyasutai area at around [-] o'clock in the evening of the same day.
