Age of Rebirth

On the left flank of the retreating Soviet army, on a high ground, Major General Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade of the Independent Division, did not know that at the moment just now, General Vasilevsky, the commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, had already fought The first brigade, which was the most ferocious, launched a murderous plan, but even if they knew, Liu Hongzhang was afraid that there would be no big trouble?It's better to involve all the retreating Soviet troops!

At this moment, Liu Hongzhang is leaning comfortably on the withered grass, smoking a cigarette with relish, with a smile on his mouth, listening to the sound of guns and guns. I don't know what he is thinking, but it is very comfortable and very Enjoy the posture.

In the dark night, the light of a cigarette butt, flickering on and off, is particularly conspicuous on the high hills. Liu Hongzhang himself is satisfied, but the brigade guard battalion commander beside him is running around in a hurry .

"God, isn't this terrible? The protruding highlands and a sparkling cigarette butt just provide a target for the Soviet snipers to shoot. As long as one shot, the major general and brigade commander who commands [-] troops will be able to shoot. You have to blow your head!" The guard battalion commander thought secretly.

Originally, seeing that the brigade commander wanted to smoke, he wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't dare, so he had to order a platoon of soldiers to stand around the brigade commander to form a human wall, which could block the flames of the cigarette butts. He lost his temper and shouted: "What are you doing? Go away! I'm blocking my view of the battlefield!" Well, just this voice scared the soldiers of the guard battalion and hurriedly dispersed.

After smoking a cigarette, Liu Hongzhang took out another cigarette, still unsatisfied.Pointing with relish, the commander of the guard battalion couldn't bear it anymore.Walking up to Liu Hongzhang, he said solemnly: "Brigade Commander, as your security battalion commander, I must solemnly remind you, please abide by the relevant regulations of the Division Headquarters Security Department regarding the security regulations for senior officers, immediately extinguish your cigarette butts, or .Let the soldiers block the flames of the cigarette butts, please abide by the rules!"

Liu Hongzhang took the cigarette away from his mouth, looked at the serious-looking commander of the guard battalion with great interest, and asked with a smile, "Why, is it dangerous for me to smoke here?"

The battalion commander of the guard battalion said: "Yes, division commander, it is very dangerous. You may not be aware that you are becoming the best target for Soviet snipers. For your safety, please accept my suggestion!"

Liu Hongzhang suddenly laughed, and said, "Crap! ——You have just served as the battalion commander of the brigade security battalion, and the big scene hasn't happened too much. Look at the situation in front of you, the Soviet army is busy retreating, how can you even think about arranging a sniper attack?" Hands, besides, the front is the attack direction of the [-]st and [-]th regiments. The battlefield is about [-] kilometers away from me. The old Maozi's sniper is dying. Cross the line of fire and give me a shot? Don't worry !” [

The young commander of the guard battalion blushed at the time, feeling that he had been insulted by the brigade commander, and he carried out the instructions of the security department of the division headquarters. What's wrong?The brigade commander shouldn't say this about himself, but he didn't know how to say it. When he was in trouble, the car of Liu Chenglin, the brigade chief of staff, quickly drove up to him. After Liu Chenglin jumped out of the car, the battalion commander of the guard battalion immediately looked to him.

Liu Chenglin looked at the eyes of the battalion commander of the security battalion, and then looked at Liu Hongzhang, who was smoking a cigarette with the old god, and immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand at the battalion commander of the security battalion, and walked in front of Liu Hongzhang, " Brigadier, the telegram from the front line, the first and fourth regiments are about to eat up the two semi-disabled Soviet divisions, the third and fourth regiments after the left and right wings broke through, encountered a division of the Soviet army The obstacles are in the midst of a fierce battle!"

Liu Hongzhang sat up straight with a "huh", took a long drag on the cigarette, frowned and said, "How can I become a forest and just bite Lao Maozi as a teacher? Something is wrong!"

Liu Chenglin smiled, took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, "Brigade Commander, you have violated the regulations. It is the responsibility of the battalion commander to make comments. The security battalion is not just for our brigade. In terms of business, the troops still accept the guidance of the division's security department, if the security department touches this matter to the division commander, what do you think will happen?" He didn't answer Liu Hongzhang's words, but said half-jokingly.

Liu Hongzhang smiled awkwardly, walked up to the battalion commander, and said sincerely: "Don't mind me, I'm just a rough person, just get used to it, someday your exes won't be scolded by me. However, your responsible attitude is still very good, this matter is over, I will review it with you, and promise to cooperate with the work of the guard battalion in the future!"

The face of the battalion commander of the guard battalion turned red again, but this time it was not because he felt insulted, but because he was moved. A major general and brigade commander who commanded tens of thousands of troops actually personally apologized to a small major himself for self-criticism. In his long military career as a front-line field force, this was the first time he encountered it, which was beyond his cognition.

Just as the battalion commander of the guard battalion was about to say something grateful, Liu Hongzhang had already turned around. It was still the same question as before, "Cheng Lin, why did you only bite one division of the Soviet Army? No, there are not many such opportunities. Order the second regiment, I can't believe that the third regiment continued to beat the Soviet army in front of me, and I can't bite off a piece of meat from Lao Maozi's body anymore?"

Liu Chenglin was taken aback and cried out inwardly, "Well, the brigade commander's madness has come again. The first and fourth regiments are still dealing with two half-disabled Soviet divisions. They don't have a few hours to fight. It can't be over, and I can't spare a shot at all. The second regiment, one regiment against one division of the Soviet army, is already big with snacks, but the third regiment is going to continue to attack the depths of the Soviet army. Cowardly people, it sounds like a scalp Numb, isn't this reckless?"

Liu Chenglin was about to make an objection, when he suddenly remembered the in-depth conversation between the brigade commander and himself a few hours ago, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and comforted himself secretly, "The brigade commander has his own command method, the pursuit Every step the Soviet army took during the days and nights seemed to be taking risks, but in fact, up to now, the First Brigade has gained a lot at a small price, and its position is also the most prominent."

Even though I thought so, I was still anxious. The third regiment continued to attack the depths of the Soviet army. No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit suspenseful. With more than 4000 troops, it was trapped in the pile of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and even a wave could not be splashed. , It will be overwhelmed by the Soviet army in the blink of an eye!

"Brigade Commander!" Liu Chenglin called out, and Liu Hongzhang turned around and asked strangely, "Chenglin, what's the matter?"

Just as Liu Chenglin was about to express his concerns, the director of the communications department of the brigade jumped out of the communications vehicle and ran to the two of them, "The brigade commander and the chief of staff received a telegram from the third regiment, and the Soviet army dispatched another The troops of the division launched a full-line counterattack against the attack of my third regiment, and the commander of the third regiment asked for instructions, what should I do?"

"Another division came out?" Liu Hongzhang shouted in surprise, "The second regiment grabbed a division, and the third regiment attracted a division. Well, it's almost there!" After muttering a few words, he ordered: "Record the order. , the third regiment immediately stopped its offensive operations and retreated to the vicinity of the second regiment. The two regiments joined hands to hold the Soviet troops of these two divisions firmly. Within hours, end the battle!"

The director of the communications department repeated the order and left. Liu Hongzhang said to Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, send a telegram to the division immediately. My first brigade will suspend the pursuit of the Soviet army and annihilate two divisions of the Soviet army at the current position." troops, and wait for the neighboring troops to come up!"

Liu Chenglin was greatly astonished. The attitude of the brigade commander made a 360-degree turn, and he was not his way of thinking. He even ordered a regiment of troops before, and dared to attack hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in depth. If you don't have time, stop chasing him? [

"Brigadier, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? I was so worried that I was going to die just now. The third regiment, one regiment after another, fought back into the depths of the Soviet army. I was frightened when I heard it. Now, don't you Go ahead! Isn't this torturing people?" Liu Chenglin yelled loudly.

Liu Hongzhang smiled slyly, and said: "Chenglin, enough is enough, and you can accept it when you see it. I, Liu Hongzhang, have not yet been arrogant. With a brigade of troops, I have caused the world to turn upside down among hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. My soldiers are not invulnerable." Heavenly soldiers and generals, if I have the strength of a corps in my hand, I dare to do this, and everything will be done at the same time. If we stare too hard, in case that Vasilevsky is really angry and turns around to bite us, but It's not a joke, all my 1 soldiers have to go in!"

Liu Chenglin laughed and said, "Brigade Commander, you are also afraid. I thought you would really dare to chase more than a million Soviet troops to the Ural Mountains with a brigade? You don't know. , Since the pursuit started, listening to the orders you issued, I will not be terrified someday!"

But Liu Hongzhang became serious, sighed and said: "Chenglin, it's not that I don't want to fight, but the capital in my hand is limited. The way we used to play before seemed risky, but in fact it was right for Vasilevsky. Weaknesses and thrills, it will be different in the future, after fighting for a few days and nights, the Soviet army has also figured out our routine, maybe they really want to kill us?"

"At this time, it's just right to stop properly! I, Liu Hongzhang, am not greedy. I just need to fight hard enough in this battle! We can eat as much meat as we have! But Cheng Lin, to be honest, I am not reconciled. Woolen cloth!"

Liu Chenglin couldn't help but nodded, and interjected: "From the beginning of the pursuit, he killed a multi-division unit of the Soviet army piecemeal. The first regiment and the fourth regiment are about to wipe out the two semi-disabled Soviet divisions. The regiment and the fourth regiment caught up with the Soviet army of two divisions. Added together, our first brigade wiped out a total of more than [-] people from nearly six divisions of the Soviet army. !"

Liu Hongzhang rubbed his nose, feeling a little unsatisfied, and said, "Have you made a lot of money? Let's go, the brigade headquarters will move forward immediately. We are not in a hurry to deal with the two Soviet divisions that we got, and we will deal with them slowly!"
