    Chapter 797 Bigger Plan

    While Zhukov's main force of the First Army was still clearing the passage at the Kazadwu Pass, Tang Qiuli commanded the corps directly under the ** Division. In the early morning, the general attack on the 120,000 Soviet troops lured into the Hadasan preset position had already begun.  At first, the battle went very smoothly. It only took thirty minutes of artillery bombardment. The tank groups began to attack. The Soviet army was almost defeated. After annihilating more than 20,000 Soviet troops in three hours, most of the Soviet troops were compressed to  , a small area with a radius of only a few dozen kilometers, formed an encirclement.  {}

    If there is another round of attacks, all these Soviet troops will be wiped out. The battle will definitely be over before evening. Just when the brigade commanders are gearing up and preparing to swallow this big piece of meat, the division commander Tang Qiuli issued an order across the board.  An order to stop the attack.

    No one understood it, including the division chief of staff and the corps chief of staff Chang Feng, and even less understanding was Lieutenant General Vuchkov, commander of the Soviet Far East Red Flag First Army and commander of the Middle Route Army in the encirclement.  When the bombardment started, the comrade commander was still studying tomorrow's march route with a group of staff officers. The issue of which troops should withdraw first was considered very dedicated.

    Lieutenant General Vuchkov was stunned when the shells hit his head. There were no field fortifications at all, and the troops could not even enter the position. More than a dozen telephones on the table were ringing like crazy.  All the time, the troops have been asking for solutions.

    Lieutenant General Vuchkov had no choice but to issue an order, and the troops dispersed to break out. The assembly point after the breakout was Ulan-Ude. All Soviet troops who tried to break out suffered violent blows and had to turn around and break out from other directions.  There were fierce gunfire, and there was no way out. They gradually huddled together, and finally shrank into a small area in the Hadasan area.

    Lieutenant General Vuchkov, who was about to run away, leaned against a stone, closed his eyes in despair, and resigned himself to fate. This was a premeditated ambush by the Chinese. At this time, he also understood and directed his troops to go.  While Hadasangzi was advancing rapidly, Chinese soldiers were outflanking him on both sides.

    Zhukov¡¯s troops are still three days away from him, and it¡¯s too late to rescue him. Will the Chinese let him go? Will he be a prisoner or will he lead his troops to break out and die gloriously on the way to the breakout?  Lieutenant General Vuchkov was undecided. He knew very well that breaking out was just another glorious way to die.

    "Comrade commander, look, the ** squadron has stopped attacking." A staff officer yelled in surprise, interrupting the comrade commander, full of sad thoughts, "What?" Lieutenant General Vuchkov asked in disbelief,  Grabbing the telescope and observing carefully, the staff officer was not lying. He could not see the artillery shells flying like meteors in the sky, nor the terrifying figures of Chinese tanks.

    What do the Chinese want to do?  Do you want yourself and more than 80,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers to surrender?  This is absolutely impossible. A Bolshevik Party member would rather die on the battlefield than surrender to the invaders. Vuchkov can do this. Although his military command skills are extremely average, his loyalty to the Soviet country is 100%.  shake.

    When he found this situation and commanded, a little flame of hope ignited in his heart. He remembered Commander Zhukov's telegram and immediately said to the chief of staff: "Order all units to place tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, etc., on the periphery, with vehicles and vehicles  The gaps between them are filled with soil and built into a ring of fortifications, waiting for help. "

    Seeing the surrounded Soviet army busy for a while, various vehicles drove forward one after another. Each unit thought that the Soviet army was going to break through desperately. While watching nervously, the tanks and trucks stopped on the spot and were arranged neatly.  , groups of Soviet soldiers were digging in the soil in a hurry, and they didn't understand, what was Lao Maozi doing?

    Only Tang Qiuli was happy to see it. This was Zhukov's idea again. He turned to a defensive posture during the hasty evacuation. He had no time to build field fortifications, so he used some existing resources to build a temporary defense line to resist the opponent's fierce attack. Tactically  That¡¯s right, and it¡¯s very realistic and practical.

    Tang Qiuli was not worried at all about the Soviet army building fortifications on the spot. In this small area with a radius of more than ten kilometers, his six artillery brigades and thousands of artillery bombarded intensively in less than two hours, even if it was reinforced concrete  The fortifications can also be blown to pieces. The surrounded Soviet army adopts such a defensive posture, not to worry about them breaking out.

    Tang Qiuli had a new plan, using the more than 80,000 surrounded Soviet soldiers as bait to annihilate Zhukov's entire First Far East Army in the Outer Mongolia region, ending the war in Outer Mongolia cleanly and laying the groundwork for the future of staying in the Outer Mongolia.  After laying a good foundation in the Mongolian region and hurting the Soviets, they would not dare to easily attack the Outer Mongolia region again.

    There is another reason. The Soviet equipment he is interested in is much better than the Japanese. If he can force a surrender, it will not be a free bargain. If the surrounded Soviet army is annihilated, Zhukov can march eastward to Kulun  It's not necessary at all, maybeIn order to avoid being hit hard again, he had to retreat. His regiment could not stay in Outer Mongolia for a long time. The First Far East Army was always a disaster. It was uncertain when it would attack Outer Mongolia again, and it would also affect Feng Jiwu's troops entering Tangnu.  Operations in the Wuliangsuhai and Lake Baikal areas.

    This was the new decision Tang Qiuli made based on the favorable battlefield situation after surrounding 120,000 Soviet troops. After everything was properly deployed, he immediately held a military meeting and elaborated on his intentions.

    Chief of Staff Chang Feng and a dozen brigade commanders were all dumbfounded. They did not expect that the division commander had such a big appetite. Not only did he want to eat the 120,000 Soviet troops in front of him, but he also wanted to take advantage of Zhukov's main force. He was so cruel.  It was bold enough, and everyone was gearing up for this unprecedented plan.

    Tang Qiuli ordered all units to actively force surrender and prepare for total annihilation. Zheng Yong's artillery unit, in particular, must determine the specific shooting target of each cannon. Once the order is issued, it must be fired within five hours.  After the battle is over, at least twenty-four hours should be prepared to meet Zhukov's main force.

    Subsequently, Tang Qiuli issued an order to the Tang Qiusheng Corps stationed in Xuzhou: "Urgent order, Commander Tang Qiusheng of the Sulu Mobile Corps, after receiving the telegram, your troops immediately moved north along Jinpu Road. The assembly point is western Outer Mongolia."  In the Uliasutai area, you have five days and nights to reach the designated location.¡±

    If you want to eat Zhukov's main force, your own strength alone is not enough. Otherwise, it will be a life-or-death situation. If the confrontation continues for a long time, it will be even more disadvantageous for you. The Kwantung Army is ready to move, and you have no time to waste with Zhukov.  , the best way is to concentrate superior troops and firepower and attack quickly and fiercely.

    Tang Qiuli also knew that his order was not easy for Brother Qiu Sheng. It required long-distance maneuvers of thousands of miles and a lot of heavy equipment. It was only his fault that he did not expect that the battle situation would develop like this.  As the only chance to annihilate the First Far East Army, they should find a way on their own.

    Tang Qiuli did not want to mobilize Tang Qiusheng's regiment to go north, but he did not have other troops in his hands. Liu Tiehan and Sun Zhenbang were guarding the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou and could not escape at all. Li Honggang and Han Tie were in Shandong Peninsula, and their troops were already strong.  Not much, Yuan Jinghao is also responsible for the defense of the Pingjin area in Tianjin.

    Only Tang Qiusheng's regiment, which is the strategic reserve of the ** Division, can join the battlefield in Outer Mongolia. There is no situation in the Songhu direction for the time being. What's more, the main force gathering to annihilate Zhukov, only Brother Qiusheng's troops have such strength.

    After receiving the order, Tang Qiusheng felt extremely headache. Xiaoqiu's order was somewhat reluctant. How far is it from Xuzhou to Outer Mongolia? Tang Qiusheng expressed his worries at the military meeting. Everyone present at the meeting  The brigade commander was also in trouble. In less than ten days, the troops could not reach the designated assembly point.

    Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Corps, thought for a while and came up with a plan, "Commander, we can mobilize a special train from Xuzhou to Peiping, and put all the troops and equipment on the train. We can grab two days and request the people in Pingjin."  Commander Yuan Jinghao and Commander Zhang from Huangyadong immediately prepared enough trucks and we turned into a mechanized march. Wouldn¡¯t it be possible to arrive on time and avoid fatigue among the soldiers?¡±

    Tang Qiusheng's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. The meeting was about to end. Fortunately, the Sulu Mobile Corps, as a strategic reserve, was ready to go at any time. In addition, the commander of the Corps, Tang Qiusheng, was extremely strict in managing the army. With one order, the entire Corps  Set off immediately, without wasting any time.

    That night, ten infantry brigades, four artillery brigades, and two air defense brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, with a total of more than 8,000 troops of 160,000, boarded a dozen special trains heading north, rumbled towards the Pingjin area, and arrived in Tianjin.  , a large number of cars are ready to go, so that the Sulu Mobile Corps becomes a mechanized light force.

    The support work of the ** Division's logistics department was really done well. There was no delay along the way. It only took two days and two nights to replenish supplies and ammunition in Erenhot. Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps had entered Outer Mongolia from Erenhot.  area, it can be said to be amazing.

    After receiving Tang Qiusheng's telegram, Tang Qiuli hummed happily. Brother Qiusheng is really powerful. With more than 100,000 troops, he can march into Outer Mongolia in two days. He will be more confident in fighting this battle. This time,  Zhukov is good looking.

    At this time, Zhukov was commanding the troops. They had just marched to the Hadasan area west of Kulun for more than a day. Damn the Chinese. The collapsed mountains before retreating delayed the troops for more than a day. Fortunately,  It was Vuchkov's troops that had not yet been wiped out.

    Zhukov was also puzzled and extremely worried that the Chinese *** team did not immediately launch a general attack on the surrounded Vuchkov troops. He was worried that this was another conspiracy of Tang Qiuli, but the General Staff sent a telegram, he had to rescue the surrounded Vuchkov troops, and Zhukov could only bite the bullet and rush towards Hadasan.
