    Chapter 800: Fierce Battle with Ulia Sutai

    Zhukov, who was leading the main force of the Soviet First Army of the Far East and was rushing to Hadasan day and night, concluded that Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops had been annihilated by Tang Qiuli after not receiving any news from Lieutenant General Vuchkov overnight.  , it is meaningless for the troops to continue marching to Hadasan, and they will fall into new dangers.

    At this time, the Soviet troops had crossed the Ulyasutai area, and the forwards had reached the Ukezhao line.

    He ordered his troops to immediately turn around and return to the Kazadewu Pass area and wait for changes. This decision was correct. Once Tang Qiuli's main force came over, he could organize his troops to block the Kazadewu Pass. The situation  If it's dangerous, you can still return to Minusinsk.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The Soviet forward troops, the 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division, who received the order from the Army Group Headquarters, immediately changed their marching direction. The troops were busy making a U-turn. The leading troops of the directly subordinate corps, two tank brigades and three mechanized infantry brigades.  , has arrived at the Ukezhao line south of Uliasutai.

    The forward troops directly under the corps ran into the retreating Soviet army. The troops did not hesitate at all and immediately launched an attack. More than 500 tanks from two tank brigades formed two parallel attack arrows and directly attacked the Soviet army formation.  Suddenly disrupting the Soviet army's formation, the following three infantry brigades, followed by the tank troops, also rushed in.

    Tang Qiuli, who was at the rear of the corps, received a report from the forward troops: "Division commander, our troops have exchanged fire with the Soviet army and have disrupted their formation. They are charging in depth. The Soviet advance troops have fallen into chaos and the battle is progressing.  smoothly."

    Tang Qiuli was overjoyed that he had captured Zhukov's troops, so he couldn't let go. These guys were brave enough to fight. With the strength of two tank brigades and three infantry brigades, they dared to attack Zhukov's hundreds of thousands of troops.  ?  In fact, the forward troops are backed by the main force. Otherwise, they would not dare to rush into the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops even if they were given a few courages.

    Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order: "The third and fourth tank brigades, the first and second artillery brigades, the first, second and third infantry brigades will detour to the Soviet left flank, the first and second tank brigades, the third and fourth artillery brigades."  The 4th, 5th, and 6th infantry brigades will detour to the Soviet right wing, and the rest of the troops will press forward from the front. All troops should pay attention. If you bite Zhukov, you will win. "

    The battle happened unexpectedly and broke out suddenly. Under the fierce attack of the forward troops of the directly affiliated corps, the Soviet 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division was quickly defeated. The Soviet soldiers turned around and ran back.

    Zhukov looked at the telegram from the vanguard troops asking for help and sighed. After all, he had not escaped the fate of a decisive battle with Tang Qiuli's main force. The troops could no longer retreat. If it turned into a scene of being chased by Tang Qiuli's main force, the entire  The army group will be defeated and hunted down by Chinese soldiers.

    "Order that all troops immediately build fortifications on the spot. The 1st and 2nd Tank Divisions adopt a wedge-shaped attack formation and immediately attack the enemy on the front. All artillery units establish artillery positions on the spot. Forty minutes later, the artillery attack begins.  All troops must hold their positions, and those who retreat without orders will be shot on the spot." Zhukov also took the risk and fought to the death with Tang Qiuli here.

    His intention was to use the tank troops as an impact force to carry out counter-attacks, block the frontal attacking Chinese troops, and buy time for the infantry and artillery to build fortifications. If the effect was good, they could defeat the long-distance march and rush into battle.  The Chinese ** team.

    Tang Qiuli, who was on the command vehicle, saw through the telescope that two Soviet armored divisions and more than 800 tanks formed four attack formations and rushed over. Oh, Zhukov is going to fight with all his strength.  The attacking troops who wanted to attack me with tanks while I was still on a weak footing had the courage and commanding skills.

    "Order, the forward troops will retreat immediately. The fifth tank brigade will immediately move forward three kilometers to the frontal attack troops and stand by. After the Soviet tanks attack, they will retreat immediately. The fifth and sixth artillery brigades will immediately prepare to bombard the Soviet tanks.  Group, all anti-tank gun units, enter the attack position and leave all these Soviet tanks behind." Tang Qiuli issued a series of orders.

    Knock off Zhukov's attacking fist and see what else he can use to carry out a counter-attack. The sudden outbreak of battle is a comprehensive consideration of the command art of the commanders on both sides, their ability to adapt to battle and battlefield judgment, and it is also a training for the soldiers of both sides.  A test of level, fighting will, and individual soldier quality.

    The situation on the battlefield was chaotic. Both Tang Qiuli and Zhukov realized that whoever launched the attack first might gain the initiative and disrupt the opponent's deployment. Zhukov put all his hopes onOn two tank divisions.

    The situation on the battlefield does not depend on personal will. The soldiers of the defeated 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division brought panic to all the troops. They ran around and talked about it. All kinds of rumors spread quickly as if they had grown legs.  The Soviet army, especially the Chinese Communist Army, has countless tanks. All Soviet soldiers know the power of tanks, which are weapons that the Soviet army often relies on.

    Soviet troops who are accustomed to using tanks to attack others in groups are more likely to have a panic mentality when faced with enemy tank attacks. Although this kind of psychology does not break out, it is like a poisonous mushroom in a dark corner, spreading uncontrollably in the hearts of Soviet soldiers.  .

    Two divisions of Soviet tanks soon appeared on the horizon of the grassland. With loud roars and black smoke from their engines, they pressed forward like a dark cloud. Chinese tanks appeared in front of them, and they were much smaller in number.  , only about 500 tanks. Could this be all the tanks of the Chinese Army?

    After exchanging opinions, the commanders of the two tank divisions of the Soviet Army decided to resolutely fulfill the orders of the comrade commander and defeat the frontal attacking squadron. Even if the entire army was annihilated, they must buy enough time for the infantry and artillery.

    The tanks of the Chinese ** team were already close to shooting distance. All Soviet tank crews received orders to annihilate the Chinese tank troops at any cost. A strange thing happened. The Chinese tanks  After turning around and running back, the shells fired by the Soviet tanks fell behind the Chinese tanks.

    The "Idou" series of tanks equipped with high-power engines can run much faster than the "T-31" tanks currently in service in the Soviet army. Seeing the Chinese tanks disappear under a hillside,  All the Soviet tanks were chasing at full speed.

    Zhukov, who was paying close attention to the battlefield situation, had noticed the abnormal situation encountered by the attacking tank troops. He immediately called the commanders of the two tank divisions, "Order you to break away from the battle and retreat immediately to guard against the Chinese conspiracy." Zhukov  Is smart and reacts quickly.

    While the Soviet tanks were busy turning around, the artillery group of the directly affiliated corps that had been prepared, under the command of commander Zheng Yong, carried out a covering artillery bombardment on the Soviet tank group. The shells shattered the Soviet tanks.  Shrouded in smoke.

    The anti-tank gun unit that came forward took this opportunity to start hunting. These anti-tank gun shooters were very skilled in hitting the tracks of Soviet tanks. Anyway, with the help of artillery, they were not afraid of Soviet tanks rushing over. A  One Soviet tank lost its ability to move.

    In a battle between tanks, artillery and anti-tank guns, the two divisions of Soviet tank troops retreated in defeat, leaving behind more than 600 tanks. More than 200 tanks were blown into fireballs by the fierce artillery fire, and the rest were  Yes, it was hit by an anti-tank gun on the track, and it was paralyzed and spinning in place.

    Zhukov closed his eyes in pain. His armored assault force had been exhausted after the Kazadewu blockade and the losses just now. He still had less than 700 tanks in hand. What else could he use to counterattack the Chinese attack?  Woolen cloth?  Artillery, judging from the intensity of artillery fire from the squadron just now, Tang Qiuli has more artillery than himself.

    "Order, the troops of the First Guards Army immediately seize the Kazadewu Mountain Pass and be ready to cover the retreat of the group army at any time." Zhukov had not yet lost his position. He was afraid that the retreat would be cut off, so he decisively issued the order.

    "Comrade Commander, we have discovered a large number of Chinese ** troops on the left and right wings of our troops, moving quickly," a staff officer reported eagerly. This was another piece of bad news. Zhukov was startled, "What? Chinese **  The team is outflanking me. Tang Qiuli has a big appetite. It may not be that easy to surround me. "

    "Order, the Second and Third Infantry Corps of the Far East Red Banner to immediately launch a counterattack against the Central Army Corps that has detoured to our left wing. The 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th Motorized Guards Divisions will immediately launch a counterattack against the detouring Chinese Army Corps.  To the Center ** team on our right wing, carry out a counter-assault. The Fifth Motorized Guards Division, all tank units, and all artillery units immediately counterattack the front-attacking Center ** team. Tell the comrades of all unit commanders that this is  This battle is related to the life and death of our army. Resolutely break the Chinese Communist Party's attempt to surround us. Fight, brave Red Army soldiers." Zhukov issued a series of orders crisply.

    The all-out battle started at dusk, and the Uliasutai area was a mess. Tang Qiuli commanded the 280,000 troops of the directly affiliated corps to encircle the 160,000 troops commanded by Zhukov and annihilate the First Far East Army in one fell swoop.  The main force, Zhukov, must break the encirclement formed by Tang Qiuli so that the 160,000 Soviet troops can have a chance.

    The two sides invested a total of more than 400,000 troops in a desperate fight. As night fell, the Uliasutai grassland was shrouded in darkness. Half of the sky was red with artillery fire from both sides. Zhukov devoted all the remaining tanks to the anti-encirclement battle. The number  The Chinese tank force, which has an absolute advantage in the world, will soonSo these Soviet tanks were submerged in the torrent of armor.
