    The sound of horse hooves aroused Zeng Shiqiang's alertness, and he exchanged glances with Tian Guangzhu. Tian Guangzhu waved his hand, and several guards immediately entered the best warning position. Zeng Shiqiang raised his telescope, and in the lens, in the vast night, several flying horses were riding.  Come, dimly, from the uniforms on the cavalry, you can tell that they are cavalry from your own army.

    A few minutes later, several cavalrymen rushed in front of them. One of them was carrying a radio. It could be seen that after a long run, the horses were snoring constantly, and a smell of sweat hit their faces.  , the leader was a captain, dismounted, ran to Zeng Shiqiang in a few steps, stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, Gao Changshan, commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade, I have important information to report to you!"  Worried and nervous.

    Zeng Shiqiang frowned slightly. Gao Changshan, the commander of the reconnaissance company, was very familiar to him. He was a witty and calm officer. When the special operations detachment was selecting members from the entire army, he almost entered the special operations detachment. He was a man who had seen big scenes.  What big thing happened to this person that made him so nervous?

    Zeng Shiqiang said: "Gao Changshan, what are you doing in such a panic? Ah! You are the commander of the reconnaissance company. If there is anything important, tell me!"

    Gao Changshan took a breath and said: "Brigadier Commander, our reconnaissance company is responsible for the vanguard reconnaissance mission of the entire brigade. At around six o'clock in the evening, a large number of Soviet troops were discovered about 20 kilometers ahead of us. After preliminary reconnaissance,  , the strength is about two infantry divisions, the situation is urgent, I will rush back to the brigade headquarters to report immediately! "

    "Huh?" Zeng Shiqiang's head banged, and he couldn't help but tremble, and secretly complained in his heart, "It's really unlucky. I tried every possible means to avoid the main force of the Soviet army, but I didn't expect it. We still ran into it. This place is far away from sex.  The main battlefield of Gehe, damn old Maozi, why are you here? Two infantry divisions, with at least 30,000 troops. "

    "Behind is the fast-flowing Selenge River, and in front are 30,000 Soviet troops, enough to drink a pot. How can the Soviet army's frontal attack expand to more than 100 kilometers wide? Could it be that the troops penetrated into the Soviet Union  Are you surrounded by soldiers?"

    Zeng Shiqiang jumped off his horse and said: "Gao Changshan, please explain the situation carefully. Are the Soviet troops continuing to march in our direction? Or are they camping? In addition, are there tanks or armored vehicles? Is it a mechanized force? Is your reconnaissance company?  Target exposed?"

    Gao Changshan grinned.  Brigadier¡¯s series of questions.  Every sentence of the question was on point. He sorted out his thoughts and replied: "Brigadier Commander, the specific situation is this. When the Soviet army was discovered, the Soviet army was marching due west. They were all infantry, and there were no tanks or tanks.  Armored vehicles, according to the Soviet army¡¯s marching speed, it will take less than an hour for the main force of our brigade to catch up with them.¡±

    "However, on my way back to the brigade headquarters to report, I received a report from a platoon that the Soviet troops had begun camping. Brigadier, the soldiers of our reconnaissance company are all elites. How can we expose the target? You  Don¡¯t worry, the Soviet army has not been alerted, the three platoons are watching from different positions!¡±

    "Wait a minute, you said that the Soviet army was marching due west and not towards the main battlefield?" Zeng Shiqiang's eyes jumped and he asked hurriedly, "Yes, they are about thirty kilometers away from the Selenge River and heading due west.  Army!" Gao Changshan replied without hesitation.

    "True west?" Zeng Shiqiang rolled his eyes a few times and shouted in a low voice: "Map!" A combat staff officer hurriedly took out the map from his backpack, and the other staff officers formed a circle with military blankets.  Space, in the dim light of the flashlight, the map was spread out on the grass.

    Zeng Shiqiang said: "Gao Changshan, point out the specific location of the Soviet army's camp! How to camp!"

    Gao Changshan lay on the map, searched for a while, pointed to a place and said: "Here, Uzhgentala, the Soviet troops of the two divisions marched side by side, with an interval of about ten kilometers.  "The distance between each camping site is about five or six kilometers, and we camp in groups."

    Putting away the map, Zeng Shiqiang looked at the brigade chief of staff Tian Guangzhu and said, "Old man, what do you think?"

    Tian Guangzhu replied: "Brigadier Commander, based on Captain Gao's description, I judge that this Soviet force is not coming towards us. Otherwise, they cannot camp less than 20 kilometers away from us. At least explain something.  , the Soviet army has not discovered us yet. What is even more suspicious is that if this is part of the Soviet offensive force, their marching direction should be east, not west. Brigadier, there is something wrong here, I'm afraid it's a coincidence!  , let us meet!"

    "My opinion is that the troops should immediately cancel their camping plan and take advantage of the darkness to turn north and avoid the Soviet troops in front first. If they get entangled by them, brigade commander, two divisions can suffice for five of us.  More than a thousand people drink from one pot!¡±

    Zeng Shiqiang smiled "hehe" and said: "Old job, we discovered the Soviet army first. The enemy is open and we are hidden. Don't rush to hide. I will go up to see the situation first. You report the situation to the division headquarters immediately. No matter whether it is directed at us or not,  Let the division commander know what's going on, and in the telegram, ask the division commander for a fight, saying that our Third Cavalry Brigade is going to fight this battle!"

    Tian Guangzhu no longer insisted. He understood the brigade commander's temper. By saying this, he made a decision. Zeng Shiqiang said to Gao Changshan: "Changshan, lead the way. Let's go see the situation of the Soviet army's camp!"

    After saying that, he got on his horse and galloped away. Tian Guangzhu waved his hand, and two platoons of cavalry guards immediately followed. Major General Zeng Shiqiang, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, is a pure Han nationality who lives in northern Shaanxi near the Ordos Plateau of Mongolia.  He is an authentic northwest man. He has lived in an area where Mongolians and Chinese are mixed for many years. He speaks fluent Mongolian and has developed proficient horse riding skills.

    When Tang Qiuli commanded the **Division, he fought fiercely with the Northwest Five Horses and achieved an overwhelming victory, laying the foundation for the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. He joined the **Division Cavalry and fought in Shanxi, North China, Pingjin, Chahar, etc.  With his ability and military exploits, he was promoted to the rank of major general and served as the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade. He was also a veteran commander within the ** division.

    After listening to the report of the reconnaissance company commander Gao Changshan and the analysis of the chief of staff Tian Guangzhu, Zeng Shiqiang had a strange idea in his heart. I am afraid that the 3rd Cavalry Brigade will have to deal with this Soviet force for a period of time, and  It also contains fighter planes. Anyway, the mission of our troops does not have a clear goal of annihilating the enemy. It mainly focuses on harassing and attacking the Soviet logistics supply lines. It is also a good opportunity to get a bite of meat here.

    More than an hour later, Zeng Shiqiang arrived at the spot where the reconnaissance company was monitoring the Soviet army. He lay down behind a few bushes, holding a binoculars, and carefully looked around the Soviet camp, including the one closest to him.  He kept in mind the number of sentries in the military camp and the patrol patterns of the sentries. After seeing the situation, he felt more confident, "I'm afraid, tonight, there will be a cheap fight!" He said  I thought to myself.

    Zeng Shiqiang quietly retreated and said to Gao Changshan, the commander of the reconnaissance company: "Changshan, your company is keeping an eye on me here. Every half an hour, you will report the movements of the Soviet troops to the brigade headquarters. If this alarms Lao Maozi,  , see how I deal with you!"

    Gao Changshan whispered excitedly: "Brigadier, please don't worry. Even if the old sentry urinates several times a night, I will report it to him. Brigadier, are we going to fight? But let's make a deal first. Our reconnaissance company is going to fight."  Main attack!"

    Zeng Shiqiang glared and said: "Stop asking and do your job!" After returning to the army, Zeng Shiqiang said to Chief of Staff Tian Guangzhu: "Old man, please notify us immediately. All brigade and battalion level and above officers will come to the brigade headquarters immediately.  There is a meeting at the temporary base and there is a major military operation!¡±

    Tian Guangzhu was startled and said hurriedly: "Brigadier Commander, the division commander's telegram hasn't arrived yet. Can you approve us to fight this battle? Not necessarily. Should we wait for the division commander's telegram?"

    Zeng Shiqiang said with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, the teacher will definitely approve it, I'm sure of it!"

    The impromptu military meeting was held in a small valley with dense bushes. As soon as Zeng Shiqiang explained the situation, the regiment commander and battalion commanders immediately became excited, and their eyes gleamed like hungry wolves. For several days  Earlier, Tong Batu's 2nd Cavalry Brigade attacked a Soviet armored brigade at night in the Harpur area, killing more than a thousand Soviet soldiers, which made the officers of the 3rd Brigade extremely hungry.

    When they met with the Second Brigade on the south bank of the Selenge River, they looked at the pride displayed by the people of the Second Brigade at all times even though they tried their best to hide it. The officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade did not say anything in their hearts.  But sourly, now that the opportunity has come, how can we let it go easily? Everyone immediately started a heated discussion on how to fight, each expressing his or her own opinion.

    The officers of the second brigade, including brigade commander Zeng Shiqiang, did not know that the division commander Tang Qiuli was troubled by the sudden appearance of two divisions of Soviet troops. The request of the second cavalry brigade to fight could not be ignored for the time being.  , is the next step to consider.

    The discussion among the officers of the second brigade was quickly divided into two groups. The first opinion was that the main task assigned to our brigade by the division commander was to harass the Soviet logistics supply line, and attacking this Soviet force was just a casual move.  , do not advocate expanding the scale of the battle, choose the Soviet rearguard or baggage troops, concentrate the strength of the entire brigade, make a surprise attack, and leave after the fight, without entanglement.

    The second opinion is that opportunities are rare, and a small fight is a fight. If you want to fight, fight in a big way. The enemy is visible and we are hidden. The Soviet army has never imagined that our brigade of more than 5,000 cavalry is right under their noses.  A full-scale attack was launched on all the Soviet camps. The fighting method was consistent with the first opinion. Never entangle, just leave after the fight, disperse and leave the battlefield, and then?Regroup.

    Zeng Shiqiang was so strong that he was too busy not to speak, and watched with a smile. No one knew what the brigade commander was thinking about these officers who tried their best to lower their voices but turned red in the face.
