Age of Rebirth

Chapter 760 Six Eastern Art of War

Sai Yin Shanda's foreign cavalry regiment stationed on the main road leading to Kulun was surrounded and disarmed by Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade. On the border, no news came back. Sai Yin Shanda's actual military command Officer, regiment political commissar Askov, the Soviet officer, relaxed his vigilance, and thanks to him and his superior, Lieutenant General Mikovsky, commander of the Soviet Far East Special Forces, stemming from the long-standing contempt for the Chinese, they all They didn't take this important information seriously, and the independent division was directly under the corps, so they entered Saiyinshanda without hindrance.

Askov, the political commissar of the regiment, was on the way to meet his lover again, and was taken aback by the communication soldier who rammed him. The *** team has arrived outside the city." Askov grabbed the communications soldier by the collar and shouted, "Say it again?" Saying it several times won't change the fact that the Chinese *** team is coming to Saiyin Mountain up to the facts.

There was no sound of gunfire, no declaration of war, the squadron appeared out of thin air, and advanced hundreds of kilometers on foreign land, as if entering a human realm, it was terrible!War, the war is coming, Askov yelled at the signal soldier: "Hurry up, sound the alarm, gather all the troops in the city, immediately establish a blocking line, and report to the army, the Chinese are invading!" In his hand, There is another trump card, which is a Soviet infantry battalion, which is his greatest reliance.

In the city of Saiyinshanda, the siren blew shrilly, and Askov rushed to the south of the city. On the desert field, countless lights pierced the grassland in the dusk like a sharp sword, and the roar of the engine came like a tsunami. Skov was dumbfounded at the time, this is not a cavalry unit, it is a large unit that has been completely mechanized, and the Chinese really did it outside. [

The Soviet infantry battalion rushed to the position and looked at the lights all over the field. The Soviet soldiers were dumbfounded. A heavy machine gun team asked the political commissar of the regiment that the heavy machine gun position should be set in that direction. Askov became furious, "Stupid, where the lights are dense Just set it there," this is nonsense, the lights all over the field dazzled the Soviet soldiers, so they couldn't tell where to focus the shooting.

Hearing the alarm sound in Saiyinshanda City, Tang Qiuli knew that this was probably the Soviet infantry battalion that the special operations team referred to, so he beat it hard and let the Soviets see my determination. He ordered: "The first tank brigade, cover the first and second regiments of the first infantry brigade to attack, and the second, third, and fourth cavalry brigades immediately encircle Saiyinshanda. Remember, don't let a Soviet soldier go, attack!"

In the night, the heavy machine guns on the Soviet army's position took the lead in roaring, and then, the gunshots sounded like popping beans, and the Soviet army opened fire first. Although the shadow of the Chinese soldiers had not been seen yet, the rolling tanks alone were enough to make people They were chilled, and hit the armor of the tank, bursting out a little spark. This steel monster continued to move forward unharmed, and rushed towards the Soviet army's position.

Three or ten minutes later, the battle ended. A pure infantry battalion without anti-tank weapons and heavy artillery was the opponent of this armored torrent. Most of the Soviet troops in one battalion were killed, and the rest were killed when they fled to Kulun. Askov, the political commissar of the regiment, was captured by the cavalry unit and was shot nine times in the body. He was killed on the spot and the Soviet army was wiped out.

At about 1000 o'clock that night, the independent division entered Saiyinshanda, the first gate leading to Kulun, and it was easily opened. Tongbatu's second cavalry brigade took on the task of guarding, maintaining law and order, and appeasing the local residents. This is a small town with a total of more than [-] households. It is similar to ordinary towns in the mainland, but it is far less prosperous. This is a relatively large city in the Outer Central Region.

The Soviet prisoners were transported back to the Erenhot prisoner-of-war camp overnight. On that night, Tang Qiuli held a military meeting to deploy the next action plan. Chief of Staff Chang Feng and the brigade commanders suggested that the troops should be divided into multiple routes immediately, with Sai Yinshanda as the center. Attack in the east and west directions, seize the key points, and occupy a vast area. The main force will continue to attack in the direction of Kulun, and fight the main force of the Soviet and Mongolian army.

Tang Qiuli shook his head. There are more than 20 troops in total. It is not suitable to divide the troops. No matter how many places the Soviet and Mongolian army has not been wiped out, it is beneficial to occupy more places. The scattered troops will be easily besieged by the opponent's superior forces. , is what he is most afraid of. The Soviet Air Force is definitely much stronger than his own. The scattered troops are difficult to deal with air defense. Without anti-aircraft fire cover, they can only be living targets for Soviet aircraft.

The military theory of the Europeans is definitely different from that of the Chinese. They advocate the decisive battle of the main force of the large corps, and pay attention to siege and occupation of land. Often capturing a big city means the end of the battle. For military points like Saiyinshanda, the capital The Soviet army will never give up on Cullen's important portal, and must fight repeatedly. Tomorrow, the shadow of the Soviet army should be seen.

His gaze fell on Hujierte, [-] kilometers north of Saiyinshanda. This is the only terrain that can be used. According to the map, there are dense jungles and complex terrain that can be used. Set up an ambush here. , to give the Soviet and Mongolian troops who were eager to retake Saiyinshanda a surprise attack, and let them know how the Chinese used their troops. However, Tang Qiuli was not at ease about the map, so he went to the field to check it out for safety.

The senior generals got into the cars one after another, and Tang Qiuli said with a half-smile: "What's the matter? I just forgot our old profession in just a few days. It's more comfortable to ride a car than to ride a horse!" Already riding on a bay red horse, he quickly jumped out of the car with his tongue out, and dozens of people beat their horses out of the city and headed straight for Hujierte.

When they arrived at the place, everyone was amazed. The good place for ambushes sent by God was more realistic than the map, and the terrain was more complicated. There was no problem at all with tens of thousands of people ambushing. Indeed, the place outside is either Gobi or grassland There are not many places for ambush, but it is very suitable for large-scale mechanized corps operations, especially suitable for large-scale assaults by tank groups.

If he was facing any warlord or Communist in the country, Tang Qiuli would definitely not choose this place for an ambush. The terrain is too conspicuous and too abrupt. Orientals who have been deeply influenced by Sun Tzu's art of war know it without looking. It is a sinister place tabooed by military strategists. Now, facing the Soviets, such terrain can just be used.

They are all veterans of ambushes, and they are familiar with the road. Under the auspices of Chang Feng, each unit quickly chose their respective ambush positions. In accordance with the division commander's consistent principles, they used the most ferocious firepower to deal the biggest blow to the opponent. Going down, at least let the Soviets spit out more than half of their blood.

The artillery position adopts a two-wing arc configuration, extending more than ten kilometers. The air defense force is behind the artillery position, supporting an anti-aircraft fire net for the artillery and covering the infantry position. It is specially designed to deal with Soviet aircraft. Under the command of Liu Chun, they continued to covertly move north of Hujiert, preparing to intercept and defeat the retreating Soviet army.

All the troops are in accordance with the deployment of Chief of Staff Chang Feng, nervously arranging troops and distributing firepower points. The brigade commanders of the five tank brigades looked for Tang Qiuli with a sad face, "Master, all the troops have ambush locations, but we all have ambush locations. There are more than 500 tanks, how can such a big guy hide? Besides, the tutorial didn’t say that the tanks are used for ambushes? Let’s do it head-on.”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Can you still be difficult for these invulnerable steel monsters? Going into the forest and drilling caves, where can't you hide? I don't care how to hide the tanks. After the shelling, I will completely destroy them with tank groups. The Soviet army's will to resist, if you can't complete the task, you can figure it out yourself! The Huangyadong base lacks pig breeders, and Minister Zhang has asked for them several times." After finishing speaking, he never looked at the stunned tank brigade The elders took one look and walked away.

The commanders of several tank brigades were stunned for a while. The commander's meaning was very clear. After the shelling, the tank troops should charge ahead of the infantry. If they are in a hurry, there is really a way. Even the barrel of the gun is covered, and the thick fallen leaves cover the whole body of the steel monster, or simply drive dozens of tanks into a valley, covered by tree branches, don't waste a deep pit, dig out a slope that is easy to open Dao said, a few tanks went in to hide, and the trees were brought down to cover it, which was a natural shelter.

After a busy night, anyway, at five o'clock in the morning, there was no longer a soldier or a car in the huge Hujierte mountain area. Tang Qiuli was worried, and rode through the ambush area with Changfeng, using He searched through the binoculars carefully and found nothing abnormal. He was very satisfied. He was a little curious about how to hide so many tanks. Chang Feng whispered something next to his ear, and Tang Qiuli laughed. There is no doubt that this battle will be won!

As the sun rises, mist rises on the grassland in summer, and the mist full of water vapor soaks the clothes of the lurking soldiers. The Hujirt mountain area and the surrounding large grasslands shroud everything in hazy mist. At around [-]:[-], the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the grasslands stretched across thousands of miles, with an unusually wide field of vision. In the sky, there was the roar of engines. Two Soviet planes flew over the Hujierte Mountains at low altitude, heading towards Saiyinshanda. fly away. [

Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze and said to Chang Feng: "This is a reconnaissance plane of the Soviet army. Tell Tong Batu that the trick should be more realistic." Chang Feng immediately called Tong Batu. At this time, Saiyinshan was in the city. It is an empty city, only Tongbatu's second cavalry brigade is stationed here.

According to the command of the division commander, the second brigade should make the illusion that the large troops are still in Saiyinshanda. The soldiers rode their horses and galloped on the few streets in the city. Outside the city, a large number of cavalry came in and out. Martial law is enforced throughout the city, no one is allowed to enter or leave, every house is searched, and the hidden Soviet spy radio station is strictly guarded against. Whether the division commander's plan can be realized depends on not revealing the whereabouts of the main force.

Tong Batu looked at the sky with his binoculars, received a call from the chief of staff, and ordered to the staff next to him: "Convey my order, and the regiments will deploy according to the predetermined plan!" Saiyin Shanda was busy inside and outside the city, Su The roar of the military reconnaissance plane was getting closer.
