Age of Rebirth

Xiao Jinshan's laughter echoed in the dusk of the Tangnu Mountains, and then he said to Chief of Staff Wu Jialiang: "Jialiang, convey my order, the 36th and 37th regiments are on the left side of the Chagannur Highway, the 38th And the 39th Regiment on the right side, with the company as the unit, unfolding in turn, I want to put a big bag for the old Maozi soldiers, at least [-] to [-] Soviet troops must be filled in."

"The brigade is directly under the reconnaissance battalion and the guard battalion. As a battle reserve team, it is ready for reinforcements at any time. The brigade belongs to the heavy artillery regiment. The artillery battalions of each regiment are ready to bombard for four to 10 minutes. They must be severely hit. By the way, Jialiang, the reconnaissance battalion has not yet News?" He looked at the Huoshaoyun in the western sky and asked.

Wu Jialiang replied: "A company of the reconnaissance battalion has advanced more than 30 kilometers away from our ambush position. So far, no signs of Soviet troops have been found. I guess the Soviet troops may not be able to come today. Do you want to order the troops? After building the fortifications, rest in place?"

Before Xiao Jinshan could answer, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion rushed over excitedly, "report to the brigade commander, and received a report from the first company that a Soviet army was found at a distance of more than 5 kilometers from us. About [-] people, according to the current marching speed of the Soviet army, will be able to enter our ambush circle in more than three hours!"

Xiao Jinshan laughed, "Hahaha! I really want to do whatever I want, and it's delivered to my door. Jialiang, I think it's not too late to rest after this battle. 5 to [-] people, um, a bit much, but , can still eat, who let me have a pair of good teeth!"

Xiao Jinshan turned his head and asked the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, "How far is the main force of the Soviet army on this road from the vanguard?"

The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion replied: "A platoon of a company has gone forward for more than 90 kilometers. According to the information they sent back, the main force of the Soviet army is more than 80 kilometers away from the vanguard. There are quite a lot of troops. There are strings of trucks. And tanks, and infantry formations, with no end in sight!"

Xiao Jinshan didn't speak. He was thinking, and he was still muttering, "It's more than 80 kilometers. After receiving the report of being ambushed, it will take two and a half hours at the fastest to get there. You have to take a vehicle, and there is enough time!"

"Jialiang, I'm sure of this Soviet army. It will take two and a half hours for their main force to catch up. Let's settle the battle in one and a half hours, and then continue to set up an ambush on the spot. Then take a bite, this time. , Our Ninth Brigade has eaten a lot of fat! Order the engineer battalion to plant a sufficient amount of explosives in the valleys on both sides of the north end of the ambush circle. After the battle starts, it will detonate immediately, and come to catch the turtle in a urn, and bring along the main force to stop the Soviet army Reinforcement!" Xiao Jinshan's excited eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered.

Wu Jialiang said in embarrassment: "Brigade Commander, we can't disobey Master's orders!"

Xiao Jinshan was not happy anymore. Just as he was about to speak, the director of the communications department of the brigade hurried over, "Brigade commander, I received an urgent call from my teacher!"

Xiao Jinshan took it, and after reading it, he turned to look at Wu Jialiang like a deflated ball, and said angrily, "Look! Look! I don't know what the teacher is thinking? Such a great opportunity, I gave up in vain, and let me play for an hour, isn't it fun? No, I will send a telegram to the division commander, insisting that we should play for two or three days in Chagannur, otherwise, the old Maozi soldiers will not remember us!"

Xiao Jinshan was full of complaints, and handed the telegram to Wu Jialiang. After reading it, Wu Jialiang was overjoyed and said, "Brigade Commander, do you dare to send a telegram to the division commander?"

Xiao Jinshan thought for a while, and said simply: "Don't dare, Liu Hongzhang has suffered such a loss, I don't dare to disobey orders, alas, fighting for an hour is better than fighting without a fight." many!"

"Jialiang, change the deployment, shrink the ambush positions on both sides, build fortifications with the battalion as a unit, order the troops, prepare for battle, order the artillery, and shoot the most shells at the fastest speed! Swallow [-] to [-] sous in one go Jun, it's impossible, so I'll bite him hard!"

The night completely enveloped the Tannu Mountains. The howling north wind passed through the mountains, making the branches whistle sharply. At around nine o'clock at night, a long string of bright car lights appeared in Xiao Jinshan's telescope lens .

After more than 30 minutes, the head of this long dragon of lights has entered the road below the valley, and the tail extends for more than [-] kilometers. The shrinking ambush circle of the Ninth Brigade obviously cannot hold all the Soviet troops.

Xiao Jinshan is not reconciled to this. With the current marching state of the Soviet army, there is no defense at all, and they will be ambushed. The Soviet army convoy in front has entered the road below the valley. Come on, if you let go of your hands and feet, these Soviet troops will not even try to run away if they keep one of them.

However, with the teacher's strict order pressing on his head, Xiao Jinshan could only drool.

"Brigade Commander, the 36th regiment reports that the Soviet army has arrived at their regiment's ambush area!" Colonel Wu Jialiang, chief of staff of the brigade, reported.

Xiao Jinshan squeezed out a word viciously through the gap between his teeth - "Hit!"

The peaceful mountains and plains suddenly boiled up. Countless shells, trailing dark red tail flames, pierced the air and whizzed towards them, falling headlong into the unsuspecting Soviet marching ranks.

boom!boom!boom! ——!The huge roar echoed in the valley, shaking the rocks on the cliff and falling down with a "crash, clatter".

The shell exploded into clusters of orange-red flames, and the broken metal shrapnel whizzed and spun sharply, wedged into the Soviet soldier's body fiercely, bringing up a cloud of blood, "Boom!" With black smoke, they soared into the sky. The cars, tanks and armored vehicles on which the Soviet soldiers were riding were detonated and overturned by shells. With bloody corpses.

The choking smell of gunpowder smoke enveloped the battlefield, and shells rained down in groups, blowing up the Soviet soldiers to pieces. Once a shell fell, it was a residual broken arm flying around. Any Soviet commander The officers did not expect that they would be attacked by the independent division here. The intelligence department of the front army had notified that the independent division's troops were all concentrated in the direction of Minusinsk.

But what's going on with the shelling that's happening right now?

In chaos, the Soviet troops who were suddenly shelled were immediately confused to the point where it could not be added. At this time, the howling of light and heavy machine guns suddenly sounded on the hills on both sides, and the dense rain of bullets poured over, causing the shells to blow up. The dazed Soviet soldiers were filled with many blood holes, and fell to the ground screaming.

The sound of the guns was rumbling, the fire was mixed with the panicked shouts of Soviet soldiers, figures running around like headless flies, bloody corpses, missing arms and broken legs, howling and rolling wounded soldiers, large and small bullet craters, The burning trucks and tanks, and the ammunition that exploded from time to time made a simple road look like hell.

The ambush circle set up by Xiao Jinshan failed to contain all the leading troops of the Soviet Army, but at least two divisions of the Soviet Army suffered heavy blows. An hour later, Xiao Jinshan looked at his watch, Gritting his teeth, he said unwillingly: "Jialiang, order the troops to withdraw from the battle immediately and move to the direction of Ulan Guben! Damn, I can't eat all the stewed meat in my mouth. It’s not enough to play well, but it’s useless!”

According to the current situation of the ambush battlefield, what Xiao Jinshan said was correct. The Soviet army under heavy shelling suffered heavy casualties. At this time, if the ninth brigade attacked across the board, the Soviet army of these two divisions would be wiped out.

However, Xiao Jinshan overlooked an important issue. A division of the Soviet army in the rear was still intact. However, because the ambush by the Ninth Brigade was too sudden, coupled with the fierce artillery fire, the terrain below the valley could not Too many troops were deployed, and it was impossible to rescue for a while, but the Soviet artillery unit following behind had already begun to build a launch position, and the Soviet artillery observers began to capture the specific position of the artillery of the Ninth Brigade.

In another ten minutes, the Soviet army will have more than a few hundred heavy artillery pieces, and they will pour the shells on the target position. Once the artillery fire of the ninth brigade is suppressed, the remaining Soviet troops of one division will fight with the ninth brigade The charging troops collided head-on. Within two hours, Xiao Jinshan would not be able to end the battle at all. Instead, he would be dragged back by the Soviet army and fall into a melee. It would be difficult to escape.

Farther away, two Soviet mechanized divisions and a tank brigade unit, who received the news that the avant-garde troops were ambushed, were approaching rapidly, nearly an hour faster than Xiao Jinshan estimated. While attacking and annihilating the two avant-garde divisions of the Soviet army, he would also be entangled by the arriving Soviet troops. What followed would be more than 20 Soviet troops along the way. The consequences would be disastrous!

Commanding the main force of the Outer Mongolia Front Army, the troops were divided into four groups, and the commander of the Front Army, General Vasilevsky, who crossed the Tannu Mountains, received a telegram with almost the same content when he was in a bumpy car and fell asleep. Comrade Party members, immediately become angry, wishing to kill someone!

"The Front Army Headquarters, our troops are located at the eastern foot of the Tangnu Mountain Range, Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu, and Buridu Usu. We were ambushed by the main force of the Independent Division. The vanguard suffered heavy losses. The Independent Division The artillery fire covered the battlefield, because due to terrain conditions, my follow-up troops could not deploy, and are now preparing for artillery fire."

General Vasilevsky, his eyes were a little straight, his hands were trembling, and he was speechless for a long time. Comrade Stalin's words still echoed in his ears, "That Chinese Tang Qiuli is very cunning, and he is very cunning in using troops. You are good at using strategies such as ambushes and siege for reinforcements, you must pay attention to this in the process of advancing, the distance between the various troops should not be too far, so that it is easy to support each other!"

Comrade Stalin's words of admonition still ring in my ears, and Tang Qiuli's own army of more than 100 million was hit head-on.

ambush!General Vasilevsky suddenly roared: "Who can tell me what is the independent division in Minusinsk?"
