Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Bamyanov was so angry about the words behind Major General Khabarovsky, Chief of Staff of the Army Group, what kind of brains are they all about?

He said unceremoniously: "Counterattack? Fortunately, they can figure it out. Are they scared by the surprise attack of the Chinese before and those inexplicable anti-tank weapons? Abandoning the existing positions, the independent division has lost The biggest reliance is the strength of two divisions, counterattacking my group army, 10,000+ troops, the Chinese are not so stupid, so they are not afraid of being entangled by our 10,000+ troops?"

"If they rely on the position, they can hold on for a while. Now, there is no such opportunity. From this, it can be judged that this is not an elite unit of an independent division at all. Otherwise, there is no reason to give up the position and retreat. The Chinese His intention was not to shrink the troops back to the urban area, and take advantage of the complex topographical conditions of the city to fight a street battle with us. As he wished, he ordered the troops not to stay, and to go to Minusinsk immediately at the fastest speed. Direction attack forward!"

In Minusinsk under the darkness of night, there is no light in the city, only the headquarters of the independent division covered by thick blankets, the lights are brightly lit. The sound of "tick-tick" in the room does not show the tense atmosphere of the imminent war.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe put down the phone, "Master, the [-]st and [-]nd Brigade reported that they were retreating to the second line of defense. There was no Soviet army following them. However, the Soviet army had already occupied the first line of defense. We are advancing rapidly towards our second line of defense. It is coming so fast, it seems. The Soviet commander judged that we cannot bear the pressure of his attack and are forced to abandon our position!" He said analytically. [

Tang Qiuli said indifferently: "Even if they are arrogant soldiers, they are also tired soldiers. Another point is that Lieutenant General Bamyanov judged that we have the intention of retreating to the urban area and fighting in the streets. If we want to advance quickly, we will not give We are preparing for the opportunity to order the four brigades on the second line of defense to use all their resources to deal the most severe blow to the Soviet army! When we reach the second line of defense, we are not afraid that the Soviet army will get out of our pockets!"

Looking at his watch, Tang Qiuli asked again: "Yuhe. Have the units that dealt with the Soviet artillery reached the attacking area? Have the units that detoured on both sides completed their deployment?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Two or ten minutes ago, I received a report from Qu Zhennian, the chief of staff of the third brigade, that the troops of the four regiments had already formed an attacking posture on the periphery of the Soviet artillery, and were waiting for the command of the division. All the troops have reached the designated position. According to the deployment, they are also waiting for the order of the division commander!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli smiled with satisfaction.Said: "Order Qu Zhennian to start attacking immediately. The detoured troops on both wings continue to wait for orders. The Soviet army has not yet gotten into the bottom of the pocket at all. After the second line of defense is launched, it will not be too late to attack again!"

"Yes, Commander, I will send an order to the troops immediately!" Zhao Yuhe had just finished speaking, before he could turn around, a voice of report came from outside the door, "Reporting Commander, Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade, came to the front line only after he was ordered Here, please give instruction from the commander!" The voice was quite loud and full of air, with special emphasis on the word "front line", which also implied the meaning of dissatisfaction, and it is estimated that all the officers in the headquarters could hear it.

Tang Qiuli's complexion immediately darkened, "Liu Hongzhang, you are so imposing! ——Come to me for a demonstration!" He said in a neutral tone.

Instead, he raised his voice and shouted: "Liu Hongzhang——come in!"

Zhao Yuhe hesitated for a moment, looking at the teacher's face, he was very unfriendly, and his eyebrows were raised. I'm afraid Liu Hongzhang will be unlucky. Maybe, the position of brigade commander may be withdrawn by the teacher to the end. Will he stay here? , if necessary, come forward to turn things around?

Tang Qiuli saw what Zhao Yuhe meant, waved his hands, and said, "Yuhe, go do your work!"

Zhao Yu and Men'er went out, and saw Liu Hongzhang standing at the door in full armor, with his head held high and his chest held high, with an expression of disbelief, and he was anxious to wink at him. Seeing the expression of the chief of staff, Liu Hongzhang knew that, The teacher is on the fire, and most of the energy in his heart has been vented first!

"Teacher, I'm here. What instruction do you have?" Liu Hongzhang said in an octave lower tone after saluting in a proper manner, and then he glanced at Tang Qiuli secretly.

Tang Qiuli didn't look up, just looked at a telegram in his hand, as if there was no such person in front of him.

The sweat on Liu Hongzhang's forehead came down immediately, he understood the teacher's temper, the more hesitant he was, the stronger the anger in his heart would be!

After a few minutes, Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand, and glanced at Liu Hongzhang sharply. Liu Hongzhang's heart was beating even more!

"Why, without instructions, I can't let you come to teach me?" Tang Qiuli's tone was as calm as plain water.

Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he rushed forward at that time, "I was fighting well on the front line, and I was called back after a phone call, and I was asked to hand over the command. What is going on! The front is fighting hard, and the old man is chasing after him. The heels are coming up, but I am wasting my time by going back and forth!"

"Teacher, if you have nothing to do, I'm going back to the army. More than 1 people are still waiting for me to take command!" Liu Hongzhang didn't dare to lose his temper, but there was a hint of anger in his tone.

Tang Qiuli twitched his lips and said, "Without your command, Liu Hongzhang, the First Brigade would not have fought? In my opinion, without you, it would have fought better. At least, the soldiers would not have made so-called sacrifices." !"

Liu Hongzhang couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He stared at Tang Qiuli unequivocally, and said angrily, "Master, I know that you are dissatisfied with my ordering the troops to fight back, but that is based on It is determined by the actual situation on the battlefield, and I, Liu Hongzhang, have never fought a battle that I was not sure of in all these years!" [

"Selenge River, facing the Soviet army's strength several times larger, our first brigade endured it for seven days and seven nights. I won't say much about the results. Commander, you know it well. The subsequent chase and annihilation battle was no match for the Soviet army. Don't fight, I've figured out their tricks a long time ago, it's no big deal!"

"Teacher, I, Liu Hongzhang, am a rough man, and I can't bend my words. If you don't let our first brigade take advantage of the situation to fight back, it will delay the opportunity of the battle. If you don't understand the situation, you can command me blindly. Even if you transfer me here again , as your staff officer, I also want to say that your order is wrong! The First Brigade Cuo missed a good opportunity to severely injure Lao Maozi!"

"Hmph!" Tang Qiuli sneered a few times, and said, "Now, I don't have time to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong. Transfer me to be my staff officer. I can't keep a talent like you by my side!" His tone was, The indescribable coldness made Liu Hongzhang's whole body tense, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.

However, the division commander’s next words made Liu Hongzhang almost faint, “Liu Hongzhang, now I’m announcing a new appointment for you. The field hospital of the logistics department of the division is short of a deputy director. You should report to the logistics department immediately and take up your post! If you are not satisfied, there is another position, the third regiment of the logistics department of the division, there is a lack of a deputy battalion commander, choose one of the two positions, and you say, which place to go to?"

Liu Hongzhang was sweating profusely, and the little anger he mustered just now was begged profusely by a few words from the teacher: "Master, can't I be wrong! Let me go back to the first brigade, Just give me a company commander. Look at me, I am a clumsy person. Going to the field hospital is almost like killing me. When I go to the logistics unit, with my temper, I am not made for that? Commander, please reconsider!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in, glanced at Liu Hongzhang's sweating profusely, and Tang Qiuli's eyes were full of anger, so he roughly guessed what happened.

Seeing Zhao Yuhe coming in, Liu Hongzhang hurriedly said as if he had seen a savior: "Chief of Staff, tell the division commander, isn't this embarrassing? Let me go to the field hospital as the deputy director, and let me go to the baggage What kind of deputy battalion commander is the regiment!"

Just as Zhao Yuhe was about to speak, Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop his words, and said, "Chief of Staff, let Director Ge of the Staff Office come here!"

After a while, Chief of Staff Ge Zhenzhuang came to the office. Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, he hurriedly turned his questioning gaze to his immediate superior, Zhao Yuhe, who shook his head slightly.

Tang Qiuli spoke, "Director Ge, your staff office will arrange a staff officer to send Major General Liu Hongzhang to the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Logistics Department with a letter of appointment from the teacher to serve as the deputy battalion commander. Go to work immediately!"

Ge Zhenzhuang was taken aback, what?The major general battalion commander is still a deputy!This is the first job in the Independent Division. Seeing the commander's face, which was like a steel plate, he hurriedly stood to attention: "Yes! Commander, the chief of staff will execute the order immediately!" Then, he pulled Liu Hongzhang's sleeve .

Liu Hongzhang saluted vigorously, and said like an eggplant beaten by frost: "Follow the commander's order, and report to the Third Regiment immediately!" Then, the two went out.

Looking at Liu Hongzhang's dejected back, Zhao Yuhe said worriedly: "Master, isn't it too serious to treat Brigadier Commander Liu like this? He is a fierce general! Will he be ruined by this?"

"What's more, the first brigade is on the second line of defense, blocking the attack of the Soviet army several times more than that. The commander of the forward force just reported that the Soviet army's attack is very violent. When the army is in urgent need of personnel, can you ask Brigadier Commander Liu to take the place temporarily?" The position of brigade commander, after this battle is over, I am afraid that Liu Chenglin, the chief of staff of the first brigade, will not be able to bear this burden!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I have considered it comprehensively. What we are fighting now is a positional blocking war. Isn't the first brigade alone in charge? Are there other three brigades? Liu Chenglin can control the troops well, and Yuhe and Liu Hongzhang fight The fight went too smoothly, I didn't suffer a big loss, and I developed the stinky habit of being number one in the world, this time, if Ouyang Yishan hadn't called in time, the first brigade might have been destroyed in the battle just now."

"It's good to let him calm down, otherwise, he will suffer a lot sooner or later. Yuhe, how is the battle on the second line of defense?"
