Revolution 1938

In the end, a blocking battle that seemed to have an extremely tragic outcome ended suddenly in the large-scale raid of the Sixth Armored Division.

The special forces members who survived the catastrophe poked their heads out of their positions one after another at this time, looking at the entire battlefield.At this time, the armored vehicles of the [-]th Armored Division had already spread out around those Qiu Bamen, and the machine guns on the roofs of many wheeled chariots had wiped out those lucky Mongols. Central, among them is Li Shouxin.

At this time, more armored vehicles came into the field of vision of the special forces soldiers from the south. Among them, a wheeled combat vehicle with multiple white hollow diamond-shaped signs was mixed with a large number of Type 99 tanks. In front of Li, a non-commissioned officer in his 40s jumped out of the car, walked up to Lao Li, and gave a military salute.

"Hello, thank you for your hard work! I am Zhang Caiqian, commander of the 129th Regiment of the 770th Division. My department was ordered to take over from yours to defend Baotou City."

"Hello, it's really time for you to come!"

After finishing speaking, Captain Li also returned a military salute, then called everyone out of the position, and took his companions to the helicopter take-off and landing base in the west of the city, where they will rest and replenish ammunition, and are ready to set off to carry out the next mission. a task.

This blocking battle is the first task that their special operations team performs after reorganization, but it is also the most difficult task.The original beheading mission did not cause casualties, but two soldiers were sacrificed in the subsequent battle against the Mengjiang Cavalry Regiment, one of whom was a companion who traveled with Lao Li from the future.

Carrying the body of their companions, they walked silently all the way to the west of the city. When they were just approaching the helicopter base, they saw Political Commissar Hu of the helicopter squadron walking towards them in a hurry.

"Lao Li, why did you turn off the radio? Why can't the headquarters find you?"

Lao Li didn't speak, and everyone present turned their eyes to a stretcher beside him.The political commissar who came in a hurry guessed what happened at this time, so he didn't say any more, but fell silent together.In the end, Lao Li broke the embarrassment of the scene.

"Political Commissar Hu, does the headquarters have any new tasks for us?"

"Yes, this time we will continue to go further north and carry out a welcome mission. It is said that there will be a company from the 129th Division to cooperate with us, and some important people are coming from Yan'an. Take a rest and replenish supplies, logistics personnel Everything will be ready in 2 hours."

Lao Li nodded, and then greeted his subordinates to go to the assembly area. Although they had another mission, they were still immersed in the pain of the first mission, and they were not very interested in talking at this time. The most important thing is to sort out the remains of his comrades-in-arms and take a good rest.

The status of the Special Forces was actually very clear to the command post at this time. The pilots of the helicopter squadron who were performing missions in the sky had already sent back to the command post. At that time, the Sixth Armored Division was in the command post almost every 2 minutes. Marching in a state of urging.

Therefore, quite serious problems have also been exposed.

What is more conspicuous is that under long-distance raids, the non-combat losses of the armored forces also showed a large-scale increase trend. At least, on the wall of the headquarters, the trend of the equipment loss line graph is upwards at a 30-degree angle.

So far, nearly 20 Type 99 main battle tanks of the Sixth Cavalry Division have broken down on the attack route due to various technical reasons.Wait for the rescue vehicle to arrive.

The problem of the main battle tank is still within the controllable range.For those wheeled chariots, the Mongolian grassland at this time has become their misery. Since the grassland environment has not been destroyed on a large scale in this era, those large clumps of grass with a person's height have become these wheeled chariots. The nightmare of chariots, therefore, they really can't move straight towards the target like main battle tanks, but can only attack along the dirt roads that have been pushed out by horse-drawn carts for hundreds of years.

These dirt roads are inherently bumpy and rugged. As a result, various failures of infantry fighting vehicles during the attack are also frequent. Compared with main battle tanks using tracks, infantry fighting vehicles have more non-combat damage, and Most of these are deep sinking in vehicles or loss of parts due to rough terrain.

Although the number of those who did not reach the scene in the end was less than that of the main battle tanks, the various problems reported after the collection still forced the staff members in the command post in Yulin to organize them into a special book and submit them to the equipment personnel. Notice.

However, for Peng Shichuan and his staff who were arranging the battle of Suiyuan in the Yulin command post, these matters were just casual mentions, not the most critical.At this time, they actually didn't care about the advancement of the Suiyuan Campaign.

In the entire Suiyuan campaign, the only key point and the only place where problems may arise are the sharp knife operation in Baotou and the follow-up nearly 12-hour blocking battle. Yuan is already in the pocket of the People's Liberation Army.

"Mr. Peng, this is the complete summary report of Operation Sharp Knife submitted by Captain Li of the Special Forces, including the later blocking battle. Our side wiped out nearly 3000 enemy troops, 2 of our own sacrificed, and 1 was seriously injured. It does not affect the combat effectiveness. Almost everyone has minor injuries.

In addition, they were almost out of ammunition and supplies and needed urgent replenishment.And the troops are more tired, I estimate at least 10 hours of rest for recovery. "

Peng Shichuan finished the report while listening, looked at it, and then said.

"The process of rest and replenishment must be accelerated, and there is not much time for them. This time, Comrade Xiangyu assigned comrades from the epicenter to meet them in Baotou, and it will take another three hours at most.

Then they must immediately escort the comrades in the epicenter to Mulegule to pick up the comrades who retreated from Outer Mongolia, and station there to wait for the reinforcements of the ground troops who arrived later. "

"According to the investigation, it seems that there are 300 Mongolian pseudo-cavalry stationed in Muregule. Has this situation been notified to the comrades who are approaching from Outer Mongolia?"

"Probably not. We have lost contact since half a month ago. This time we will know whether they entered from Muregule or rely on the analysis of photos taken by high-altitude reconnaissance planes operating in Outer Mongolia. If it weren't for our comrades It has been stated that they will return from that direction, and we will not be photographing that area specifically on a daily basis."

After speaking, Peng Shichuan picked out one of the photos on the table and handed it to the tactical staff officer.

"This is the photo just sent by the headquarters. From the above, it is not a single person who returned, but a combat-capable armed force. Among them, we found a large number of trucks and armored vehicles. They occupied the Bor drill the day before yesterday, and Fighting took place with Japanese troops stationed there.

According to our investigation, it can be seen that their combat effectiveness is not weak. After 30 minutes of firefighting with the Japanese army, they defeated the Japanese army and occupied Chenzhen.In today's photos, we can see that they did not stop, but continued to move towards the border crossing line.

Therefore, we judge that our comrades should return home from the defeated Soviet army in Outer Mongolia. Therefore, it is very likely that we will encounter communication problems with foreign troops at that time.thus.The central government specially invited comrades from the epicenter who dealt more with foreigners to come and deal with this issue together.

In addition, it is our country after all, so this foreign army must be blocked on the border. Therefore, the central government planned to arrange them in Muregule.

However, it does not rule out the possibility of armed conflicts, so in the end I decided to let the special forces take the lead and take Mulegule for me first. "

"If this is the case, do I think it is necessary to send reinforcements to the Special Forces? Due to downsizing and fatigue, the combat capability of the Special Forces has dropped by at least 20%, and this time they will not be able to receive support in a short period of time. I am afraid that something will go wrong. .”

Hearing what his staff officer said, Peng Shichuan frowned, then took out the reports sent by various parties and said.

"For the time being, there should be no other forces to add. My opinion is to let them carry double the ammunition. In addition, the accompanying helicopter squadron will also increase the ammunition carried.

In addition, this time, Comrade Epicenter is accompanied by an escort team, a total of 5 people. They will also go to Mulegule at the same time, and they will be merged and commanded by the special forces as a supplement to their combat power. . "

After saying this, Peng Shichuan threw the information in his hand on the table, and then asked loudly to another staff officer who was by the radio.

"Xiao Wang, where is the Sixth Armored Division now?"

"It was 20 kilometers west of Guisui, and there was no obstruction. The other 129th division reported to the 771st regiment that Zhesi was attacking and advancing. They encountered two divisions of Mengjiang cavalry in Guyang and were fighting. "

"How is the battle going?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The enemy army still used the original cavalry warriors to fight us in a large group charge. Therefore, there were no casualties except that the consumption of ammunition was slightly faster."

Peng Shichuan nodded, and then couldn't help complaining.

"These Mongols really haven't made any progress. Their ancestors knew hundreds of years ago that they had to turn around and leave when they wanted to fight. Why are they living more and more now, charging at armored vehicles and machine guns. I don't know who I really want to see them who train them."

Following Peng Shichuan's voice, the entire staff room burst into laughter.
