Age of Rebirth

Chapter 790 The Siege of Hadassan

Feng Jiwu's unit fought a brutal three-day blocking battle at the Kazadewu Mountain Pass. The three brigades responsible for defending the three lines of defense suffered close to half of their casualties. Zhu Dake's fourth brigade Most casualties.

The attacking Soviet army suffered more casualties. Zhukov's plan to pass through the Kazadewu pass in two days has been completely bankrupt. In Feng Jiwu's hands, there are still six brigades that have not been used. The cost of completing the next step of the plan.

On the third night, after Chen Jishan's second brigade withdrew to the fourth line of defense, Feng Jiwu received an urgent telegram from his division commander Tang Qiuli, "Jiwu, the corps directly under the corps has completed the encirclement of the Soviet army in front of us, and will launch at dawn tomorrow. The general attack across the board is expected to be over within two days. It is no longer meaningful for you to block the troops. You may consider whether all troops can withdraw from Kazadeu Mountain Pass tonight in order to avoid more casualties. Consider it!"

Seeing the teacher's telegram, a big stone in Feng Jiwu's heart fell to the ground with a "dong". They all take cars, don't eat, drink, or sleep, and they can't run for four days and four nights, unless Zhukov gets all his soldiers on the plane. [

Without the arduous task of blocking, Feng Jiwu's mind came alive, and he was really unwilling to withdraw quietly like this. He paid more than 2 casualties, and let Zhukov pass the Kazadewu Pass so swaggeringly, isn't it? With Feng Jiwu's character, he still has to withdraw, and before leaving, it is also okay to punch his wife hard.

He immediately called a meeting of the brigade commanders, read the telegram from the division commanders, and announced the direction of the next step. The brigade commanders were stunned. They thought they would go back to the Hadassan battle, but they continued to fight north. The farther you fight, the further you go, isn't it the land of the Soviets?Is the division commander going to Moscow?

Feng Jiwu's mind was not on this. He knew that Tang Qiuli would be very careful. What he thought was to give the Soviets a hard blow before the troops withdrew. The brigade commander's interest attracted him, especially Zhu Dake and Chen Jishan.

"Commander, just arrange it. How to fight this battle before leaving. I don't want to leave when I think of the soldiers who fell under the bullets. I will fight them to the end!" Zhu Dake shouted loudly, and Chen Jishan even more It's trying to agree.

Feng Jiwu laughed. He liked the high fighting will of his subordinates very much. After fighting for three days, with so many casualties, everyone was still so eager to fight. This last battle must be fought.

Feng Jiwu immediately arranged the battle plan, "Okay, since everyone agrees to fight this battle, let's fight, order, all logistics troops, supplies, and artillery brigades to withdraw from the battlefield immediately and turn to the Zabul area in the Tannu Mountains , and stationed in concealment, each brigade drew out all the mortar units, formed groups of fifty to form several attacking units, and drew out all light machine guns, formed groups of one hundred to form attacking units.”

"The engineer battalions of each brigade planted explosives at the final exit of the mountain pass. The effect of the explosion should be able to stop the Soviet army for a day. The sixth brigade is responsible for the night attack troops outside the mountain pass. Get ready immediately. Two hours later Let's go!" After Feng Jiwu gave the order, several brigade commanders gasped.

The commander is ruthless enough, they all know their family background, that brigade does not have more than 500 mortars, more than 1000 light machine guns, six brigades, that is more than 3000 mortars, more than 6000 light machine guns, how big is it? The key is that the mortar is operated by three people. It is light and dexterous.

The brigade commanders were secretly surprised, Feng Jiwu went on to say: "The mortars are divided into three attack waves to ensure uninterrupted shelling. Each mortar can carry no more than five rounds. After a wave is fired, one will retreat." Waves, quick battles, don't be entangled by guns, light machine guns are also divided into three attack waves, just like mortars."

The combat mission was determined in this way, and the brigade commanders were busy going back to make arrangements. Feng Jiwu sent a telegram to Tang Qiuli: "Master, before we withdraw from the Kazadwushan Pass battlefield, our troops plan to attack the Soviet army tonight. The preparations are ready, and the battle time is estimated to be about an hour, which can also buy enough time for the Hadassan battlefield, please approve it from the division commander."

Looking at Feng Jiwu's telegram, Tang Qiuli felt a little troubled. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Feng Jiwu's troops to fight this battle before retreating. Maybe they would be entangled by the Soviet army. Myself, the movement is bigger than Feng Jiwu, and I have been defending for three days. I should be absolutely sure of this unexpected blow.

"Jiwu, I agree with your department's combat plan. You must grasp the timing of withdrawal. Don't love to fight, so as not to fall into a tight siege." This is Tang Qiuli's reply to Feng Jiwu. Needless to say, Feng Jiwu is a veteran As a veteran in the battle formation, all you need to do is give him your trust.

Zhukov was exhausted both physically and mentally after three days of continuous battles with heavy casualties. Tomorrow, he would repeat this again. According to this speed, in three more days, he would be able to pass the damned Kazadev pass, which was much faster than his own. It is estimated that there will be four full days more, and the next step will be the western region of Yimapingchuan. The door to Kulun seems to have been opened.

But Zhukov didn't understand that the Chinese knew that they couldn't defend the Kazadwu Pass, and they were desperately blocking their own troops. Why?They are buying time, and for whom?Zhukov walked to the large military map and fell into deep thinking.

As long as they pass the Kazadwu Pass, it is only a matter of time before they occupy Kulun. Tang Qiuli's main force has already withdrawn to the vicinity of Kulun. Dewu Pass did not attack Vuchkov's troops either. Did he think that he could hold Kulun under the joint attack of the two troops?Really elusive Chinese.

There must be a bloody battle on the outskirts of Kulun. After this battle, the Chinese forces will be expelled from the foreign land forever. The Soviet sphere of influence will never allow other countries to get involved, ruining the lives of countless soldiers. As a result of the failure, the Chinese were a little overwhelmed, and Zhukov couldn't help feeling pity for him, including Tang Qiuli, who he thought could be called his opponent, of course.

Poor national power, decades of civil war, and the Japanese invasion, even with outstanding military talent, but also power back, Tang Qiuli chose the wrong opponent, should not be an enemy of the mighty Soviet Union For the sake of this barren land in China, the Soviet Red Army, just relying on steel alone, can smash the squadron out of the land of China, and block its own squadron. They dare not openly use it on the battlefield.

In the hand-to-hand battle, thanks to the commander of the Chinese Army, he wanted to be the leader. If it weren't for the terrain here, Zhukov believed that this battle against the Chinese Army would be a massacre without any suspense. Even if it is fighting against the Japanese, the result will be the same. Although the national strength of the Japanese is much stronger than that of the poor and weak China, in the night when the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood has not yet dissipated, Zhukov has imagination.

His interest was in Europe, and on the European battlefield, a rush of footsteps interrupted the association of the famous Soviet general, and the staff sent a telegram from Lieutenant General Vuchkov. [

"Comrade Commander, our troops have entered the line of Hadasan west of Kulun, keeping a safe distance from the main corps of Tang Qiuli's troops, and are ready to attack Kulun. At present, the squadron has no abnormal movements. According to the Air Force According to the reconnaissance report, everything in Kulun is normal, and there are no large-scale city defenses and preparations for war."

Lieutenant General Vuchkov couldn't figure it out either. The squadron was near Kulun. If they were to stick to Kulun, they would at least have to establish various defense systems. He didn't dare to imagine and couldn't figure it out when he received the Air Force reconnaissance report. It was the result of the Air Force's three reconnaissance of Cullen that he reported to the commander of the group army.

Zhukov walked back to the military map, and the speed of Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops surprised him. As for whether the Chinese built fortifications in Kulun, he didn't take it to heart. Given Kulun's terrain conditions, unless it was surrounded by reinforced concrete Get up, otherwise, it is still a place that is easy to attack but difficult to defend.

"Hadasan," Zhukov chanted the name of the place, found its location on the map, and after thinking about it for a while, his face changed drastically, "Quickly, in my name, immediately order Lieutenant General Vuchkov to withdraw his troops to the On the Onen River line, at least withdraw to the Hang'ai Mountain line, and disengage from Tang Qiuli's main corps," Zhukov ordered the staff in a loud voice, his tone hurried and slightly flustered.

Zhukov understood everything. Tang Qiuli retreated from Hang'ai Mountain and created the illusion of advancing westward to reinforce the Kazadewu Pass. The purpose was to attract Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops and follow them to the Hadassan area to surround and annihilate him. Zhukov was convinced that , Tang Qiuli's encirclement was about to be formed, and the rapid advance of Vuchkov's troops objectively shortened the time to enter the encirclement of the squadron, which was tantamount to bumping into it.

The blocking at the Kazadewu Mountain Pass was necessary and also to buy time for Tang Qiuli to ambush Fuchekov's troops. "Order the air force to immediately take off at night to scout the left and right wings of Fuchekov's troops within a range of [-] kilometers. The ** team is turning around to his two wings." Zhukov hurriedly ordered another staff officer.

"Boom boom boom", in the night, there was suddenly a violent cannon sound, and then there was the continuous shooting sound of automatic weapons. The originally silent night suddenly revived and exploded, and the flames of the explosion lit up the night sky from time to time.

Zhukov rushed out of the tent in a few steps. The sound of gunfire came from the Kazadewu Pass. It was intense and dense, and gradually moved out of the pass. In the air, shock waves shook the night, revealing an atmosphere of unease. Feng Jiwu made his move.
