Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's gaze did not change, it was still warm and warm, with sincerity in the plain, maybe it was because of his mood, but Sun Zhenbang could see the vague blame and dissatisfaction in the teacher's gaze, and, although there was no The doubt that I can feel, but not my own loyalty, is the doubt of the entire unit of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, two 10,000+ soldiers, and my own command ability. bquge

Sun Zhenbang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his face turned a little pale, "Master, I request that I be severely punished. The northern campaign of Saiyinshanda, the encirclement and annihilation war turned into a pursuit war, Gurban Sai Khan's blocking battle, The third brigade suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the brigade commander Rao Zhonghan was killed in battle. It was all caused by my ineffective command. I am ashamed of the division commander and the [-]+ soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.”

"In particular, during the battle, there were deserters. It was due to my lack of communication and training. Please ask the division commander to relieve me and send another capable commander to take over the position of commander of the corps. I will deeply reflect on it. "Sun Zhenbang's tone was as heavy as a boulder. Whether it was Tang Qiuli, Zhao Yuhe or Battelle, they could hear the grief and self-blame from his heart, and the sincerity in his tone.

In Tang Qiuli's eyes, the strange color disappeared in a flash. Sun Zhenbang asked for punishment, which was expected, but he offered to be relieved of his post, which was greatly unexpected. There were frequent changes that I did not expect, and Gurban Sai Khan's blockade was very risky, and it was an unexpected change, but is it really Sun Zhenbang's responsibility for all this?

After receiving the report on the battle situation, Tang Qiuli also asked himself such a question. Speaking of which, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps was established and brought to the battlefield in just about half a year. During this period, it did not experience any In large-scale battles, if it weren't for Vasilevsky's Outer Mongolian Front Army's aggressive offensive against Saiyin Shanda, such troops that have not been baptized by the flames of war would never be drawn into the battlefield.

Moreover, when they first entered the battlefield, it was a large-scale battle. The troops who read the force division had never experienced such an experience. They all started from small-scale battles and gradually honed into today's main force. In other words, the person most responsible should be me. Is it because I believe too much in Sun Zhenbang's command ability and the combat effectiveness of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps?Will he let Sun Zhenbang command the battle alone?

Tang Qiuli sighed, waved his hand, and stopped Sun Zhenbang's next words, "Zhenbang, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The flaws can't be concealed. Regardless of the losses of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps in the battle, the 37th Army of the Soviet Army will be wiped out. It is an indisputable fact that in war, no one can guarantee that there will be no casualties in the troops, this is the iron law of war, will people die in war!"

"Don't blame yourself!" Seeing Sun Zhenbang's face full of shame, as if he was about to say something, Tang Qiuli stopped him again, and then greeted: "Zhenbang, Battelle, come, sit down and talk!" Turning his head He said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, tell the cooking team to prepare some rich meals for the two commanders! ——The battle just ended, and you two were transferred here in a hurry. You must not have filled your stomachs!"

The atmosphere eased, Tang Qiuli took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath, the light blue smoke rose up, covering his face a little hazy, "Zhenbang, any army starts from a battle. In a bloody battle, there were a few deserters who fought hard. Isn't it a shocking event? The big waves wash away the sand. Only in the constant blood and fire battles, those soldiers who are not firm will be eliminated, and the rest are all It is an elite, a unit, and it becomes the main force!" [

The words were earnest, seeming to explain a rule, and seemed to be persuading Sun Zhenbang, "However, Zhenbang, in this battle, you have also exposed your character weakness, that is, you are too eager to seek success and prove yourself. Before launching the attack, wait until the outflanking troops on the two wings arrive at the position, and then launch an attack on the frontal attacking troops, the result will be very different, and there will be no more Gurban Sai Khan blocking battles with greater losses later!"

"As a general, you are most afraid of impetuousness, and then behave in a panic. For example, Zheng Yong's artillery unit can completely delay the bombardment of the Soviet army one day later, and what's more, can they fight with the Soviet army for a few days? , to buy more time for the troops on the two wings to outflank, of course, this is also my responsibility, I did not remind you and Battelle in time." The few words that the division commander spoke earnestly shook Sun Zhenbang's heart like a lightning strike.

Since the establishment of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, Sun Zhenbang has had a wish to become the main force capable of conquering various places, just like those old main force field corps, eager to fight big battles, win battles, and even hope to become famous in one battle. On the surface, it is the sense of honor of the soldiers. From another point of view, it is not that he is eager for success. Although Sun Zhenbang does not admit this, but the teacher's words, like thunder and lightning, cut through the depths of his heart and hid it. side.

Sun Zhenbang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he suddenly got up, "Master, I—!" His voice was a little choked.

Tang Qiuli smiled warmly, and greeted him: "Zhenbang, sit down and talk. If you say something, there will be no lumps in your heart. Don't look ashamed, let alone carry psychological burdens. My Tang Qiuli's subordinates are not pussies. Take the role of the team, get up your spirits, next, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps has a big, tough battle to fight!"

Sun Zhenbang didn't sit down, he was shocked when he heard the teacher's words, and asked in disbelief: "Master, do you still believe in the Outer Mongolian Field Corps and me, Sun Zhenbang?"

Tang Qiuli was surprised, and said puzzledly, "Why don't you trust your Outer Mongolian Field Corps and Sun Zhenbang? Don't you deserve my trust, Tang Qiuli?"

"But——we killed a brigade commander in Gurbansa—and also lost more than 1 of me—!" Sun Zhenbang was a little incoherent, and didn't know how to say it.

Tang Qiuli frowned slightly, and his face and tone became more serious, "Zhenbang, getting entangled in the past is not what a man did, let alone a qualified soldier. Let’s fight again, we are in battle after battle, we have learned how to fight, don’t carry burdens, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps participated in the battle for the first time, and created the result of annihilating an enemy group army, which is commendable!”

Sun Zhenbang looked ashamed, and Tang Qiuli went on to say: "Over [-] soldiers of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps fought nonstop for days and nights. The troops should take a rest and celebrate the victory by the way, but the Soviet army in Kulun won't let us rest, no, I hurriedly summoned you two!"

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle stood up suddenly, looked at Tang Qiuli with shining eyes, and said in unison: "Please give the order, Commander! The troops can move immediately!"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand with a smile, motioning for the two to sit down, and then, pointing to Kulun's position in front of the military map, he said, "Kulun's Soviet No.30 Fifth Army, in order to rescue the No.30 Seventh Army that was trapped , sent two armies to the south, and one of them, less than 30 kilometers away from Deren, was eager to retreat to Kulun after learning that the No.[-] Seventh Army had been wiped out."

"The Soviet army is about to withdraw. I have ordered the No.11 and No.12 brigades directly under the corps to go out and entangle the Soviet troops in this army. The task of your Outer Mongolia Field Corps is to eat up this Soviet army, and then, Go straight to Kulun, annihilate the No.30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Army at the fastest speed, occupy Kulun, and I will not intervene in the specific battle command, you two fight freely!"

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle looked at each other, and they both saw the high fighting spirit in each other's eyes, especially Sun Zhenbang, whose hands trembled slightly with excitement, "Master still trusts me, Sun Zhenbang, and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps!" He was emotional thought to himself.

Tang Qiuli looked at Sun Zhenbang and Battelle, who had bright eyes, and said with a smile: "When you hear about the war, you are all full of energy. You should understand the purpose of this Kulun battle. Kulun is on the battlefield of Outer Mongolia and the Far East. A nail between the battlefields, the No.30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Army is entrenched here. Looking east, it can threaten our troops in the Far East under the command of Deputy Division Commander Liu. Going west, it will contain the six brigades directly under the Corps. The pursuit of the retreating troops of the Mongolian Front Army does not pull out this nail, and our two battlefields cannot be combined into one!" [

Having said that, Tang Qiuli paused for a moment, seeming to have some other thoughts, "Although a Soviet army with 10,000+ troops on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia cannot cause much trouble, keeping them is a threat after all, Kulun, It was the place of the Fourth World War, and when Zhenbang was in charge of Outer Mongolia, Kulun was not a military fortress, so the Soviet army did not have so many solid defense systems in the city of Kulun.”

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle listened intently, Tang Qiuli continued: "The key to the battle is to annihilate as much of the Soviet army as possible in the wild. If you move fast enough, the Soviet army of the other army is withdrawing to Kulun. Before the city, we can also seize it. Big detours and outflanking are our forte. Next, the battle to capture Kulun will be much easier. Of course, this is my suggestion. Before you are sure, don’t rush forward. I'd rather be steady and steady, step by step!"

Tang Qiuli's words, in fact, opened up an idea for Sun Zhenbang and Battelle. He was afraid that Sun Zhenbang's psychology would be shadowed. Scruples, can't let go.
