    Chapter 776: Fighting Alone

    The general attack on Fort Helenborg did not go smoothly. For two days of fierce bombardment, the artillery group of the corps directly under the ** division, thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, poured tens of thousands of tons of artillery shells into this building completely composed of  On the fortress made of rocks, the damage to the main structure of the fortress has little effect.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    Tang Qiuli used two tank regiments and a field infantry brigade as the first echelon of attack forces. After suffering more than 1,800 casualties, he had to retreat in the face of the intensive firepower of the defenders. His only hope was to have already successfully  The multiple regiments of troops that entered through the breach are still surrounded by the superior strength of the Outer Mongolian Army. Whether this nail can be firmly nailed there depends on the development of subsequent battles.

    Lieutenant General Subart, the supreme commander of the Helianboborg Fortress Defense Force, commander and political commissar of the Second Group Army of the Outer Mongolia Army, was even more aware of this. For this reason, he replaced Dekrusha, the commander of the First Guards Division.  Major General Ha, whose position as division commander was taken over by division political commissar Hangda Dorji, issued a fatal order to completely eliminate the remaining squadrons in the fortress before 7 a.m. on August 12th.

    The top commander of the ** division in the Helianbo Fort Fortress, Battalion Commander Major Duan Shude, sent several correspondents to collect the scattered troops. It was pretty good, with more than 4,800 people gathered. As for  There was no time to search for the company that had not been contacted yet. As the sun gradually set in the west, the huge shadow of the Hangai Mountains spread its black wings and covered the Helianborg Fortress, and everything became hazy.

    Duan Shude knew that the most severe test for the troops had begun. The Outer Mongolian Army would not allow such a small group of Chinese troops to hide beside them. When darkness fell completely, the decisive battle would begin. There was no hope of reinforcements from outside.  Go up and call all the company and platoon commanders for a brief meeting to discuss the battle plan.

    In the hazy night, Duan Shude's eyes were shining. He did not shy away from explaining the situation faced by his troops to everyone. There was no trace of panic or fear on the faces of the dozens of company and platoon commanders sitting around him.  Duan Shude felt confident. He divided all the troops into combat groups based on platoons. The distance between each combat group was based on the standard of being able to provide cover and fire support to each other. They were divided into two attack directions and gradually moved towards  Attack and advance inside the fortress.

    The gathering of so many people will undoubtedly give the superior Outer Mongolian Army an opportunity to gather and annihilate. Chaotic warfare has its own way of fighting. In the dark night, opportunities are equal for both the enemy and us. However, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolian Army occupy familiar terrain.  After simply arranging the combat deployment and key points to pay attention to, Duan Shude told everyone that we should try our best to control a section of the defense line to open up a path for the follow-up troops to come up.

    Each combat group moved in different directions. Duan Shude looked at the platoon of soldiers following him. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and disappeared into the dark passage of the fortress. At the same time, the newly appointed Guards No. 3  Hangda Dorji, commander of the First Division, was also doing pre-war mobilization.

    The division commander, who was a political cadre, was not very good at commanding and fighting. When it came to ideological work, especially in inciting the emotions of the soldiers, he was definitely a master. In less than ten minutes of speech, he was bombarded by the bombardment of the ** division. Although he was not blown up.  The soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Army, who were killed and injured everywhere, but were frightened, became high-spirited.

    After completing the pre-war mobilization and summoning the courage of the soldiers, Hangdadorji began to select elite soldiers and generals. "Brave soldiers, if you have participated in three battles, please raise your hands." Hangdadorji shouted loudly, no  People raised their hands, and the Outer Mongolian soldiers looked at each other with indescribable expressions on their faces.

    "Those who have participated in two battles, please raise your hands." Hangda Dorji then asked, but still no one raised their hands. The division commander and comrade almost ran away. The spit just now was in vain. They are all a group of people who are afraid of death. Isn't it right, division chief of staff?  Wei Er, he leaned close to the division commander and whispered: "Comrade division commander, the First Guards Division has no experience in participating in large-scale battles, and neither does the entire Second Army."

    Hangda Dorji was completely speechless. He did not want to think about it. The Outer Mongolian Army had been sheltered under the protection of the Soviet Army since the day it was formed into an army. During the riot, several major factions of the Beiyang Warlords in the country were fighting.  Today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you, fighting for power and territory, everyone wants to be the overlord of China, and Sun Yat-sen¡¯s Communist Party is constantly rising in the south, and there is no energy to control the rebellion and separatism in Outer Mongolia.  matters involving national sovereignty.

    It can be said that foreign independence is a bloodless split without a series of bloody battles. To describe the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia army as a rookie is more appropriate. Hangda Dorji did not give up and continued to ask: "Have you participated in it?"  Soldiers who are fighting, please raise your hands." He himself didn't sound very confident or confident in saying this.

    Finally, a second lieutenant who looked like a platoon leader timidly asked: "Comrade division commander, does it count if you faced off against the Chinese Communist Party in the border area?"Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, he nodded quickly and said: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, being able to confront the reactionary Chinese Communist forces is also a special combat experience, of course." More than a hundred Outer Mongolian soldiers walked sparsely to the queue.  Front.

    Seeing that this was not the solution, the division chief of staff had more practical experience and knew the current situation of the army better than this talkative former political commissar. He quickly took over the division commander's words and said: "In addition to the training ground, soldiers who have shooting experience  , all stand in the front row." At this moment, four to five thousand people came out. Regardless of having shot roe deer, yellow sheep, and sand half chickens, they were all veterans who had experienced live ammunition shooting.

    Coupled with the troops defending the breach today, they can be considered to have shed blood and seen the world. Hangda Dorji spent a long time and finally formed a commando team of more than 7,000 people and appointed several regiment-level political commissars.  Be the leader, divide into several groups, and outflank them in the direction of the breach.

    The disorganized troops did not go smoothly once they set off. Among the troops led by Comrade Division Commander himself, one soldier accidentally discharged his gun, probably because he was nervous, and knocked down his companion in front. The sound of the gunshot shocked the already nervous soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Army.  , were so frightened that they all fell to the ground. In the chaos, many people were trampled and injured. Hangda Dorji was furious and had thoughts of killing him. The environment did not allow it, so he used a flashlight to shake the face of the troublemaking soldier.  Keep this account in mind.

    In the dark night, in the silent fortress, this gunshot was particularly harsh, and it was heard far away along the long corridor. It happened that the combat team led by the first battalion commander Duan Shude was coming along the dark corridor.  , the sound of gunfire came over, and more than 60 soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, the Somi submachine guns in their hands were in firing state, and even several Czech light machine guns found their shooting positions in an instant.

    The soldiers waited with bated breath for a while, but there was no movement. Duan Shude waved his hand, and a three-person reconnaissance team moved forward along the corridor. After a while, the three soldiers returned, and a squad leader whispered to Duan Shude, "Batalion Commander, ahead.  We found a large number of Outer Mongolian Army soldiers, about a thousand in number, who happened to be facing us. "

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? MORE than a thousand people, the force is twenty to one, should we fight or not?  Go back the way you came. If other combat groups are suddenly encountered, they will definitely suffer a big loss. Can more than 60 people withstand the attack of more than 1,000 people?  In front, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be vaguely heard. Duan Shude gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight. A shot here will attract the Outer Mongolian troops from other directions, which will also facilitate the actions of other combat groups."

    This kind of encounter was fought unexpectedly and fiercely, with enough ammunition to last for a period of time. He immediately ordered the soldiers to immediately use the existing terrain to build a simple blocking defense line. From the tone and actions of the battalion commander,  , an ordinary infantry platoon of sixty-five soldiers already knew the difficulties they would face.

    No one spoke, let alone hesitated. They quickly built a fortification with rubble on the corridor. Just as they entered the fighting position, flashlights shone brightly in front of them. Duan Shude raised his left hand, and more and more Outer Mongolian Army soldiers came.  The closer they got, the figures could be seen. Sixty meters away, Duan Shude's hand hadn't been lowered yet. Thirty meters away, even closer, only twenty meters away, Duan Shude slashed down with his left hand.

    In front of the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Army who were groping their way forward, a dazzling light suddenly burst out. Countless bolides flew towards them and instantly penetrated into the bodies of the soldiers in front. The soldier who was shot had not had time to do so.  Screaming, more soldiers behind fell down. At this time, intensive gunshots reached the ears of the Outer Mongolian Army soldiers.

    The battle broke out suddenly, completely unprepared. The dense bullets were like a metal wall, pressing towards the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Army. The soldiers at the front were riddled with bullets. Duan Shude struck out with an extremely vicious blow.  The close combat was followed by bursts of fire from more than 50 submachine guns and eight light machine guns. The soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Army crowded together had no choice but to be targets.

    The large number of people, in this case, turned out to be a disaster. With just one encounter, the corpses of hundreds of Outer Mongolian Army soldiers were piled up in the corridor. Gun smoke filled the corridor. The soldiers of the Outer Mongolian Army who were attacked,  Retreating continuously, the sound of gunfire was like a huge magnet, attracting the attention of both the enemy and ourselves. The Outer Mongolian troops divided into several groups moved closer here. At the same time, combat groups in other directions of the ** division also moved toward  Come closer to Duan Shude's direction.

    The nonchalant Tang Qiuli, accompanied by Chief of Staff Chang Feng and First Brigade Commander Liu Hongzhang, stood on a hillside and listened to the fierce gunfire coming from inside Helianbo Fort. No one spoke.  While secretly guessing about the fighting situation in the fort, several people became uneasy with the bursts of gunfire.

    Fighting alone, with no follow-up troops to come up, surrounded by soldiers from the Outer Mongolia Army ten times their size, and unfamiliar terrain, can Duan Shude and the others persevere?  Still??How long will it last?  Question marks filled Tang Qiuli's heart.
