Age of Rebirth

Major General Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the No.11 Brigade directly under the Corps, rushed to the headquarters of the Third Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. His large-caliber howitzer regiment had already smashed the Soviet army's assembly point into a piece of metal fragments. Every inch of space is a place of death, and you don't have to worry about fighting. The chief of staff, Fu Dechun, is on the front line to command, and also draws out a regiment of troops to support the positions of the other two brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps.

Ren Zhaoquan remembers the injury of Colonel Rao Zhonghan, the commander of the third brigade. From the bottom of his heart, Ren Zhaoquan is still very shocked. The Ul division has millions of troops, spread all over the country and overseas, and senior commanders at the brigade commander level are on the battlefield It is very rare to be seriously injured. Only in Kaifeng, eastern Henan, when the Third Army of the Japanese Army was blocked from attacking Xuzhou, Major General Su Jingfeng, then commander of the Yellow River Defense Line Defense Corps, was killed in this battle.

The death of Major General Su Jingfeng has become an eternal pain in the teacher's heart. Every time he thinks about it, he sighs and sighs, and the meaning of self-blame is beyond words. , participated in the battle on the front line, and now, Rao Zhonghan is seriously injured. According to Fu Dechun's words, it is very difficult to rescue him. Is the teacher going to suffer again?

When stepping into the headquarters of the third brigade, Ren Zhaoquan's footsteps were very heavy, and his mood was extremely depressed. The headquarters of this brigade was personally commanded and excavated. It was spacious and strong. Ren Zhaoquan saw the problem at a glance. Rao Zhonghan was lying motionless on an operating bed. The director of his brigade field hospital, a colonel military doctor in his forties, stood in front of the operating bed with a solemn face and hands down.

The other officers of the 11rd Brigade Headquarters, with sad faces and red eye circles, surrounded Zhonghan, and several military doctors in white coats also had sad faces. The director of the No. [-] Brigade Field Hospital, Seeing his brigade commander coming in, he rushed forward to meet him, and before Ren Zhaoquan could ask, he lowered his voice and said, "Brigade commander, we have tried our best!"

Ren Zhaoquan's head buzzed, although he was not very familiar with Rao Zhonghan, when he heard the dean's words, his body shook violently a few times, his eyes stared at the dean with a cold light, He said in a hoarse voice: "What's going on? Give me a reasonable explanation!"

Ren Zhaoquan didn't believe it. He heard his chief of staff, Colonel Fu Dechun, briefly talk about the injury of Zhong Han. He was stabbed with a bayonet by a Soviet soldier on his lower back. He was not shot at a vital part.He didn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

The head colonel lowered his eyelids, seeming to avoid the aggressive gaze of the brigade commander, moved his lips a few times, and explained: "Brigade commander, the situation is like this. Rao brigade commander's injury is very serious. The bayonet was pierced too deep. Multiple organs in the body were broken, coupled with the situation of melee at that time, the rescue was not timely, when we arrived, the person——was already dying, even though we tried our best to rescue him, we still managed to recover!"

Ren Zhaoquan's face was pale, and it happened again that the brigade commander was killed in battle. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me, if the rescue is done in time, will Brigadier Rao not be killed in battle?" His tone was full of murderous intent, His eyes were cold, and the dean's heart trembled when he saw it. [

Ren Zhaoquan will never forgive the military doctors of the third brigade. Although the battle was chaotic, the field hospitals of the various brigades of the ul division were all set up behind the positions. Unless the Soviet army broke through the blocking line, otherwise, they would not In other words, the dean of the field hospital of the [-]rd Brigade behaved in a panic and the rescue was not timely, which caused the death of Rao Zhonghan. Although he was not their direct superior, this did not prevent him from exercising military law. that power.

Ren Zhaoquan would probably go mad if he didn’t shoot that bastard dean. The dean of the No. 11 brigade field hospital, of course, heard the murderous intent from the brigade commander’s tone, shook his head, and said, “Brigade commander, isn’t it rescue? The question of timeliness, even if it is an immediate rescue, Brigadier Rao will...!" He didn't say what he said next, but the meaning was obvious. I am afraid that when Rao Zhonghan was wounded, he was already dead. With a ruthless bayonet, Rao Zhonghan was killed directly.

While the two were talking, the director of the field hospital of the third brigade, also a colonel military doctor, was a little older, in his fifties, and staggered up to Ren Zhaoquan, with self-blame and self-blame that could not be concealed. In pain, he looked at Ren Zhaoquan calmly and said: "You are the brigade commander, and I am the director of the field hospital of the third brigade. I failed to save the life of the brigade commander. It is my dereliction of duty. Please shoot me Well, in this way, my heart will feel better!"

Ren Zhaoquan waved his hands in a loud voice, obviously it was not the military doctor's negligence, and he couldn't kill people indiscriminately. At this time, the chief of staff of the third brigade came over and said in a hoarse voice: "Brigade Commander Ren, our third brigade will obey you. Commander, just now, I have reported the death of Brigadier Rao to Commander Sun of the Corps, but the Corps has not responded yet!"

Ren Zhaoquan took a deep breath. He understood that it was no longer a matter of violating the commander's military order and participating in the war without authorization, but that he had to take responsibility and assume the responsibility of commanding the Gurban Sai Khan battlefield. It's not that the Soviet army has no power to fight again. With its own heavy artillery regiment, it is impossible to completely prevent the Soviet army from attacking again. At the very least, it must stay on the ground until the other troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps arrive.

Ren Zhaoquan said to the chief of staff of the third brigade: "Okay, I will take over the command temporarily. The first thing to do is to escort the body of Brigadier Rao to Sai Yinshanda immediately. You will arrange this matter yourself. Next, It is to report the situation on the Gurban Sai Khan battlefield to the division headquarters, and add that Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the No. 11 Brigade, will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield and uniformly command all units!"

Ren Zhaoquan's judgment was correct. Lieutenant General Hipporif, the commander of the No. 30 Seventh Army of the Soviet Army, after despair and confusion, might be facing a desperate situation, but he had the idea of ​​putting all his eggs in one basket, and a fierce emotion appeared in his heart.

Now that the breakthrough that has been achieved is once again blocked by the troops of the Ul Division, and the death squads have lost all casualties. Before the pursuers behind the Ul Division arrive, they must break through the Gurban Sai Khan blocking line. , The trapped beast is still fighting, in short, you can't just take the Chinese as captives, and if you become a prisoner, can Comrade Stalin spare his relatives?Other officers were also implicated.

Lieutenant General Hipporif, with an iron-grey light shining in his eyes, was desperate and fierce, and said viciously: "Order, all troops, carry out an all-round and uninterrupted attack on the Chinese blocking position, at any cost. The price is, if the commander of that unit shrinks back, I will shoot him with my own hands! As for that unit, once it breaks through the blockade line of the ul division unit, leave the battlefield as quickly as possible, regardless of other units, and go to Germany Move closer to Lun!"

In the order of Lieutenant General Hipporif, there is no provision that the troops attack a certain direction, but swarm up and fight at the end. This is the way each army breaks through on its own. How many people ran out, no matter how many people, depends on luck, it is better than being made dumplings by the Chinese. Of course, Comrade Commander will not let himself act alone. On my own way.

This is a typical chaotic battle. Lieutenant General Hipporif went crazy, and the remaining tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers were also crazy. The opponent who knew the hopeless situation was often the craziest. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers lined up The skirmish line rushed towards Gurban Sai Khan's blocking line all over the mountains. If Ren Zhaoquan's No.11 Brigade did not join the battlefield and face such a desperate charge by the Soviet army, the position would be in danger immediately.

However, the No.11 Brigade of the Corps directly under it is an old unit that has experienced many battles. It knows how to fight such a battle. It also posed a great threat to the Soviet army, making it impossible to form a continuous attack wave. The mortar troops focused on shelling Soviet soldiers within two to 3000 meters of the position.

Light and heavy machine guns mainly hit the Soviet assault formation within a range of 1000 meters. Finally, the attack range of rifles, submachine guns and grenades is weakened layer by layer. A few days later, under the heavy rain of submachine guns, Soviet soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The various weapons and equipment of the No. 200 Brigade cooperated with each other, and fought very methodically, nervously but not in a hurry.

Many soldiers, when the Soviet soldiers rushed to less than 50 meters away from the position, even the yellow hairs on the faces of the Soviet soldiers could be seen very clearly, they still did not shoot, and held the gun firmly with both hands. There was an inadvertent sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he saw the soldiers of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps beside him, their hearts were beating wildly, their faces were sweating, their hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and they were about to shoot when they raised their guns. A big hand held him firmly gun.

The Soviet soldiers entered within 30 meters. The soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were eye-opening. After seeing it, how can they be considered to be able to fight? If they dare to fight, the company and platoon leaders shouted, and in the trenches, raised their hands. Several arms, groups of grenades, like black old birds, flew towards the Soviet army. Within 30 meters in front of the position, tens of thousands of grenades exploded at the same time. , not much inferior to several large-caliber artillery regiments! [

The gunpowder smoke after the explosion of the grenade has not yet cleared, and the roar of the submachine gun rang out again. The soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were stunned and their blood boiled. After reacting, they immediately squeezed the trigger. , pouring rain.

The No.11 Brigade, which is directly under the Corps, has become the pillar and backbone of Gurban Sai Khan's blocking line. The Soviet army made two desperate charges in succession, and did not take advantage of it. Apart from leaving corpses everywhere, they retreated back empty-handed again. .
