Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Jiyong, the commander of the Kwantung Army's border garrison, decided that the plan to break out in the Far East was very feasible. Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian Field Corps adopted a single-strike attack method, attacking across the board, and pressing forward. Not staying on the battlefield, which gave Ji Yong a great opportunity.

With a wide front, it is impossible for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to cover everything. After the offensive is launched, it will definitely deal a big blow to the Kwantung Army's border guards. However, a considerable number of soldiers will take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to escape. In the case of deliberate actions, the number of Kwantung Army soldiers who escaped would not be small. At that time, there were no regular troops of the independent division in Outer Mongolia.

The remaining soldiers of the border guards of the Kwantung Army will inevitably enter a land without people. The local garrison troops in the Outer Mongolia region alone will definitely be difficult to resist. Lieutenant General Yoshinaga's plan will be successful. Army soldiers will reach the Far East.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengmin, an officer of the Independent Division with a low rank but an important position, the deputy director of the Division Command Staff Office and the chief of staff of the corps directly under him, understood all this and changed the outcome of the battle. The chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, naturally recommended such a talent for the staff department, and he did not hesitate to strongly recommend it. The telegram to the teacher was signed by Wu Zhengmin alone, and his identity was the acting chief of staff of the directly subordinate corps.

As a result, Wu Zhengmin officially entered the sight of the teacher Tang Qiuli, and regarded him as a useful talent, which laid a solid foundation for Wu Zhengmin to take up a higher position in the future. Personal opportunities are extremely unpredictable. With the rank of the school and the identity of the deputy director of the staff office, he made a suggestion, which changed the decision of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and it was the beginning of stepping into the top command of the independent division.

Lieutenant General Jiyong didn't know that his intentions would be detected by a lieutenant colonel of the Independent Division, and the strength of more than 10,000 troops from the six brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps was already waiting for him to hit him head-on.Taking the opportunity to break into Outer Mongolia, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must wait until the Sun Zhenbang Corps begins to attack.Otherwise, with the [-]+ troops of the Kwantung Army border guards, it would be almost like courting death to face it head-on!

During the day, I saw the independent divisions in two directions, armed with horses and horses, ready to fight. However, night had already enveloped the land, and the expected battle.However, it did not explode. This abnormal behavior puzzled Lieutenant General Yoshinaga, the commander of the Kwantung Army's border garrison, and the 10,000+ Kwantung Army soldiers were frightened.But dare not slack off, holding a gun, spending a sleepless night in the trenches!

In the eastern sky, there is a faint white belly, and the cool wind stirs the faint mist on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia, and the earth is still in a deep sleep.Lieutenant General Jillong, who had not slept all night, walked out of the tent with dry eyelids. In the eyes of the guards, the Lieutenant General had dark circles under his eyes and his face was frighteningly haggard.

The quiet grasslands and Gobi desert seem to freeze.There was not a single sound between the sky and the earth, but Lieutenant General Yoshinaga knew that there were more than 80 soldiers of the Independent Division at the front and rear, staring at himself and the 10,000+ soldiers under him like beasts lurking in silence. "Shall we start?" he murmured to himself.

Unlike Lieutenant General Yoshinaga who couldn't sleep at night, the independent division chief of staff and acting commander of the directly subordinate corps, Zhao Yuhe, got a good night's sleep. The division commander approved his proposal to adjust the deployment. The No.11 Brigade and No.12 Brigade of the Corps have arrived at the designated positions. A large net has no loopholes. The rhythm of the battlefield is completely in their own hands. There is nothing to worry about. Therefore, Zhao Yuhe can sleep peacefully. last sleep.

After being woken up by the guards at the stipulated time, Zhao Yuhe was full of energy, his mind was very clear, and he was refreshed. He walked into the command tent, and Wu Zhengmin, the acting chief of staff who hadn't slept all night, rushed to greet him, "Chief of staff, all the troops are here." Are you ready?" Zhao Yuhe asked.

Wu Zhengmin replied succinctly: "Everything is ready! All brigades have entered the offensive position. Three hours ago, the No.11 Brigade Commander Ren Zhaoquan and the No.12 Brigade Commander Chen Han sent telegrams one after another. Expand all!"

"Very good, the problem I was most worried about has finally been solved! Chief of Staff, in the name of the headquarters directly under the Corps, send a telegram to praise, you can't just lose your temper and curse!" Zhao Yuhe was very happy, said with a smile, and immediately He asked again, "What about the Outer Mongolia Field Corps?"

"Commander Sun has just sent a telegram that everything is ready. Except for the remaining six brigades, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps will devote all its forces to the offensive. After that, it will immediately get out of the battlefield and transfer to Aershan The direction, the troops take the train to the south!"

"Okay! Chief of Staff, please contact Commander Sun to confirm all the details of the attack!" Zhao Yuhe ordered.

In the southeast of Outer Mongolia, where the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps is temporarily stationed, Sun Zhenbang looks very calm, sitting on a canvas marching chair, drinking milk tea comfortably. After many years in Outer Mongolia, he has fallen in love with this kind of milk tea that can quench thirst and satisfy hunger. The authentic Mongolian-style drink, after waking up every day, without drinking a few cups of fragrant milk tea, I feel uncomfortable all day long!

"Chief of Staff, after the offensive started, my thinking was that although the division commander ordered us to go with one blow, we should not stop at nothing. While attacking across the board, we must also focus. Choose three to five directions, deploy more troops, and strive for Catch a bunch of little devils and fight for another five or six hours without disobeying the commander's order or affecting the troops going south, you can make arrangements for this!" Putting down the cup of milk tea, Sun Zhenbang looked at Chief of Staff Wang Jun with bright eyes. Said.

Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, was delighted to hear Sun Zhenbang's words, and said, "Commander, I have already made arrangements, and I am not greedy for too much. Three directions, Dali Ganga, Nalan, Ba Yandele Chagan, in addition to the normal offensive troops, each strengthened an infantry brigade, a brigade heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, and a self-propelled artillery regiment. No matter what, it can also bite more than [-] Kwantung Army troops Bar!"

"Thirty thousand? Isn't it a little less? In addition to the six brigades left behind, our Corps has more than 20 people. We just ate up [-] little devils. Although we just beat them and left, we still have to be generous." Cut off a piece of fat, you just have too little appetite!" Sun Zhenbang said dissatisfied.

Wang Jun smiled even more proudly, "Commander, these 3 Kwantung Army soldiers are held in the palm of their hands. Including the attacks of other brigades, they must eat more than [-] to [-]. The rest, The six brigades staying in Outer Mongolia still had to eat more than [-] or [-] soldiers, and a total of [-] soldiers from the Kwantung Army fell into the hands of our corps. The appetite is still small? The corps directly under the people is not free! "

Now, Sun Zhenbang had nothing to say. He stretched out his thumb and said, "Okay! It's ruthless and definitely cunning!"

On the grassland before dawn, it was as quiet as usual, but in the silence, but in the silence, the cloud of war had faded with the night and permeated the boundless land. On the battlefield, countless large-caliber howitzers, with black barrels rising slowly, pointing to the north, tanks, in the faint dawn, shone with a metallic luster, and behind them were groups of infantry.

At the starting point of the attack by the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, the artillery positions were also lined with cannons, and the gun barrels were heavily pointed to the south. The tanks assaulted the group and stood ready. Zhao Yuhe and Sun Zhenbang both chose the same method for this annihilating attack. Destroy the fortifications of the Kwantung Army with the most violent artillery fire, and then carry out a frontal assault with a large-scale armored group.

The directly subordinate corps and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, with the firepower of large-scale artillery and armored forces, attacked from north to south, like two huge iron plates closed, and the [-]+ Kwantung Army soldiers sandwiched in the middle, Turning into powder, the independent division has an absolute advantage both in terms of troop strength and heavy equipment firepower, and it is an overwhelming battle of annihilation without any suspense. Therefore, Zhao Yuhe didn't even ask the Northern Aviation Group of the Aviation Corps in Outer Mongolia The fleet in the cruising area joined the battle, even though Liu Cuigang said hello in advance.

Zhao Yuhe did not sit calmly on the marching chair. He paced slowly in the tent. It was the first time he commanded a large-scale battle alone. He was not nervous, but he was excited. In the Corps headquarters, Sun Zhenbang was still sleeping soundly in his military uniform.

Sun Zhenbang, who had commanded the troops of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army at that time, and a full-staffed group army with the Soviet army, was bloody and bloody and gained the upper hand. Obviously, he couldn't raise much energy for such a battle. The command is all handed over to Chief of Staff Wang Jun, which means that it is rare to have a half-day leisure in a floating life.

In a completely different mood from the two chief generals of the Independent Division, Lieutenant General Ji Yong, the commander of the Kwantung Army's northwestern border garrison in Manchuria, was not as excited as Zhao Yuhe, and he was not as indifferent as Sun Zhenbang. At this moment, Lieutenant General Ji Yong was full of heart. Anxiety, terror, worry, and loss of the unknown outcome, as a veteran officer of the Kwantung Army, his years of military service told him that in the dimness before dawn, the boundless murderous spirit of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Independent Division, It has already gathered on his head.

Although the thunderstorm-like attack of the independent division troops was expected, but the battlefield with obvious advantages and disadvantages still made Lieutenant General Ji Yong feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Yuhe closed his eyes, sat down on the chair slowly, rubbed his temples lightly with his fingers, and tried his best to calm down the ups and downs of emotions. Time was passing by quickly. Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengmin, the acting chief of staff of the directly subordinate corps, walked up to him and said : "Chief of Staff, it's time to launch an attack!"

Zhao Yuhe suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, his eyes were piercing, and a cold light flashed, "Start!" He spit out two words.
