    Chapter 794: The Siege of Hadasan

    Feng Jiwu's troops fought a brutal blocking battle at the Kazadew Pass for three full days. The three brigades responsible for defending the three lines of defense suffered nearly half of their casualties. Zhu Dake's fourth brigade  The greatest casualties.

    The attacking Soviet army suffered more casualties. Zhukov's plan to pass through the Kazadewu Pass in two days was completely bankrupt. Feng Jiwu still had six brigades of troops that were not used. This was what he used.  The cost to complete the next step of the plan.

    On the night of the third day, after Chen Jishan's Second Brigade withdrew to the fourth line of defense, Feng Jiwu received an urgent telegram from the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Jiwu, the direct-affiliated corps has completed the encirclement of the Soviet army facing them, and will launch an attack at dawn tomorrow."  A general offensive across the entire front is expected to end the battle within two days. It is of little significance for you to block the attack. You may consider whether all troops can be evacuated from the Kazadwu Pass tonight in order to avoid more casualties. Please  Consider"

    Seeing the telegram from the division commander, a big stone in Feng Jiwu's heart fell to the ground with a "thud". The troops completed the blocking mission ahead of schedule. They can fight or leave. They have the final say. From here to Hadasan, even the old Maozi will sit down.  A car, no food, no drink, no sleep, and no more than four days and four nights to run away, unless Zhukov got all his soldiers on the plane.

    Without the arduous task of blocking, Feng Jiwu's mind was aroused, and he evacuated quietly. He was really unwilling to do so and paid more than 20,000 casualties, allowing Zhukov to pass through the Kazadewu Pass in such a swagger.  It's not Feng Jiwu's character, so he still has to retreat. Before leaving, it's okay to give Lao Maozi a hard punch.

    He immediately called a meeting with the brigade commanders, read the division commander's telegram, and announced the next direction of the troops' action. The brigade commanders were stunned for a while. They thought they would go back to participate in the Hadasan battle, but they continued to fight north instead.  The farther we fight, the farther we go, isn¡¯t it the Soviet Union¡¯s territory?  Is the division commander going to fight in Moscow?

    Feng Jiwu's mind was not on this. He knew that Tang Qiuli would have a good sense of proportion. What he wanted was to give the Soviets a hard blow before the troops evacuated. After this idea was expressed, nine people were immediately  The brigade commander's interest was attracted, especially Zhu Dake and Chen Jishan.

    "Commander, please plan how to fight this battle before leaving. When I think of the soldiers who fell under Lao Maozi's shells, I don't want to leave. I will fight them to the end." Zhu Dake shouted loudly, and Chen Jishan tried his best to agree.  .

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

    Feng Jiwu immediately laid out the battle plan, "Okay, since everyone agrees to fight this battle, let's fight it. Order all the logistics troops and baggage, as well as the artillery brigade to immediately withdraw from the battlefield and move to the Zabul area in the Tangnu Mountains.  , stationed in concealment, each brigade will draw out all the mortar units, fifty in groups, to form several attack detachments, and all light machine guns will be drawn out, in groups of one hundred, to form attack detachments. "

    "The engineering battalions of each brigade will lay explosives at the last exit of the mountain pass. The effect of the explosion must be able to block the Soviet army for a day. The sixth brigade is responsible for receiving the night attack troops outside the mountain pass. Prepare immediately, two hours  "Later, the troops set off." After Feng Jiwu gave the order, several brigade commanders took a breath of air.

    The commander is ruthless enough. They all know their own family background. That brigade does not have more than 500 mortars and more than 1,000 light machine guns. With six brigades, that means more than 3,000 mortars and more than 6,000 light machine guns.  The light machine gun, how big the formation is, the key is that this mortar can be operated by three people, it is light and dexterous, and can run away after firing. It can hit more than 3,000 shells at once, which is cruel and devastating.

    The brigade commanders were secretly surprised when Feng Jiwu continued: "The mortars are divided into three attack waves to ensure uninterrupted bombardment. Each mortar cannot carry more than five rounds. After one wave, we will retreat."  One wave, fight quickly, don¡¯t be entangled by the old man, the light machine gun is also divided into three attack waves, just like the mortar.¡±

    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: "Division Commander, before withdrawing from the battlefield of Kazadewu Mountain Pass, our troops plan to attack the Soviet army tonight.  The preparations are ready. The fighting time is expected to be about an hour. This can also buy enough time for the Hadasan battlefield. Please approve it from the division commander. "

    Tang Qiuli looked at Feng Jiwu's telegram with some embarrassment. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Feng Jiwu's troops to fight this battle before retreating, and might be entangled by the Soviet army.  He himself was making more noise than Feng Jiwu. He had been on defense for three days. This unexpected blow should be absolutely certain.

    "Jiwu, I agree with your department's battle plan. You must grasp the time of withdrawal and do not be too eager to fight, lest you"Enter a tight siege," this was Tang Qiuli's reply to Feng Jiwu. Needless to say too much, Feng Jiwu is a veteran who has experienced many battles, so just give him your trust.

    After three consecutive days of position attack battles with heavy casualties, Zhukov was also physically and mentally exhausted. Tomorrow, he would repeat the same thing. At this speed, he would be able to pass this damn Kazadewu Pass in three days, and he would be better than him.  It is expected that there will be four more days, and the next step will be the vast western region of Outer Mongolia. The door to Kulun seems to be open.

    But Zhukov didn¡¯t understand that the Chinese knew clearly that they couldn¡¯t hold the Kazadwu Pass, but they still tried their best to block their troops. Why?  They are buying time, and for whom?  Zhukov walked to the large military map and fell into deep thought.

    As long as they pass the Kazadwu Pass, it is only a matter of time before they capture Kulun. Tang Qiuli's main force has already withdrawn to the vicinity of Kulun. The troops commanded by Vuchkov are clinging to him, but Tang Qiuli will not reinforce Kaza.  He did not attack Vuchkov's troops at the Dewu Pass. Did he think that he could defend Kulun under the combined attack of the two troops?  The Chinese are really hard to figure out.

    There must be a bloody battle outside Kulun. After this battle, the Chinese power will be expelled from the land of Outer Mongolia forever. The Soviet sphere of influence will never be allowed to be touched by other countries. It has ruined the lives of countless soldiers. It is still a failure.  As a result, the Chinese were somewhat overestimating their capabilities, and Zhukov couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart. Of course, this also included Tang Qiuli, whom he considered his opponent.

    With a weak national power, decades of civil war, and the Japanese invasion, even with outstanding military talent, Tang Qiuli chose the wrong opponent. He should not be an enemy of the powerful Soviet Union.  Because of the barren land of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Red Army was able to smash the squadron out of the land of Outer Mongolia even with steel alone. However, the squadron that blocked their own squadron did not even dare to use artillery openly on the battlefield.  .

    It was a hand-to-hand battle, and thanks to the commander of the Chinese ** Corps, if it weren't for the terrain here, Zhukov believed that this battle against the Chinese ** Corps in Outer Mongolia would have been a massacre without any suspense, even with the  If the Japanese fight, the result will be the same. Although Japan's national power is much stronger than that of China, which is poor and weak, Zhukov thought about it at night when the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood had not yet dissipated.

    His interest was in Europe, and on the battlefields of Europe, a rush of footsteps interrupted the famous Soviet general's thoughts, and the staff sent a telegram from Lieutenant General Vuchkov.

    "Comrade Commander, our unit has entered the Hadasan line west of Kulun, maintained a safe distance from the main force of Tang Qiuli's army, and made preparations to attack Kulun. At present, the Chinese ** team has no abnormal movements. According to the Air Force reconnaissance  According to the report, everything is normal in Cullen, and there are no large-scale city defenses or preparations for war.¡±

    Lieutenant General Vuchkov also didn't understand. The Chinese ** Corps was near Kulun. If they were to defend Kulun, they would at least establish various defense systems. After receiving the air force reconnaissance report, he didn't dare to imagine and couldn't figure it out.  He reported the results of the Air Force's three reconnaissances to Cullen to the Army Commander.

    Zhukov walked back to the military map. The advancing speed of Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops surprised him. As for whether the Chinese built fortifications in Coulomb, he did not pay attention to it. With the terrain conditions of Coulomb, unless Coulomb was surrounded by reinforced concrete,  Get up, otherwise, it will still be an easy to attack and difficult to defend place.

    "Hadassan," Zhukov muttered the place name and found its location on the map. After thinking carefully for a while, his expression changed greatly, "Quick, in my name, immediately order Lieutenant General Vuchkov to withdraw the troops to  On the Enen River front line, we must at least withdraw to the Hangai Mountain line and break away from Tang Qiuli's main force," Zhukov loudly ordered the staff, his tone was urgent and slightly panicked.

    Zhukov understood everything. Tang Qiuli retreated from Hangai Mountain and created the illusion of marching westward to reinforce the Kazadwu Pass in order to attract Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops to follow him to the Hadasan area, surround and annihilate him. Zhukov was convinced  , Tang Qiuli's encirclement was about to be formed, and the rapid advance of Vuchkov's troops objectively shortened the time to enter the Chinese team's encirclement, which was equivalent to bumping into it.

    The blockade at Kazadewu Pass was necessary and was also to buy time for Tang Qiuli to ambush Vuchkov's troops. "Order the air force to take off immediately at night to reconnoiter the 50-kilometer wide range on the left and right flanks of Vuchkov's troops to see if there are a large number of Chinese troops."  The troops are moving around his flanks." Zhukov hurriedly ordered another staff officer.

    "Boom, boom, boom", in the night, violent gunfire suddenly sounded, and then there was the continuous firing of automatic weapons. The originally silent night suddenly came to life and exploded, and the explosions of fire 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 Mountain Pass. It was intense and intensive, and gradually moved outside the mountain pass.In the air, shock waves shook the night, and there was an atmosphere of uneasiness. Feng Jiwu took action.
