    The laughter of Major General Zeng Shiqiang, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, was arrogant and proud, but more importantly, it was heroic and the joy after victory. The laughter floated far away with the dawn wind, and the people who had assembled at the foot of the hill  The soldiers, looking at the brigade commander riding alone, looked up to the sky and laughed. They were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed knowingly.

    Zeng Shiqiang galloped down the hill, and the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Tian Guangzhu, came up to him and said: "Brigadier Commander, the results of the battle have been tallied, but the statistics are incomplete. In this raid on the Soviet army, a total of 2,200 Soviet soldiers were killed and injured.  The remainder burned Soviet supplies and ammunition, which cannot be counted. In addition, dozens of Soviet trucks were blown up. We suffered 365 casualties, including 105 killed in action."

    "The casualties of the second and third regiments were relatively large, while the casualties of the first regiment were very small. Only 12 soldiers were killed and 38 soldiers were injured. However, because we were fighting a surprise battle, the time from the start to the end of the battle was very short.  , the bodies of the fallen soldiers were still left on the battlefield before we had time to snatch them out!¡±

    Zeng Shiqiang's body stiffened for a moment, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "There are no immortals in a war. Send a telegram to the division commander. Our third cavalry brigade will raid the Soviet troops in the Uzhgentala area and give the Soviet Union  The army killed a large number of people, burned and blew up Soviet logistics supplies, ammunition, and transport vehicles. Our troops suffered more than 300 casualties. We are now gathering and resting in Jirengaol, 30 kilometers north of Uzhgentala.  "

    "The next action goal will be to actively search for fighter planes against the Soviet logistics supply troops and other scattered troops, and continuously attack the Soviet army. The specific battle plan will be reported to the division headquarters at any time." Then, to those around him,  A staff officer ordered: "Have Wei Guoliang, the commander of the first regiment, come to me immediately!"

    Zeng Shiqiang doesn¡¯t know yet.  The thirty-minute raid had achieved more than just this result. If he had known that he had killed a senior colonel commander of the Soviet army, the tone of the telegram he sent to the division commander Tang Qiuli would not have been this way.

    Soon, Colonel Wei Guoliang, the commander of the first regiment, galloped over on horseback, "Report to the brigade commander that Wei Guoliang, the commander of the first regiment, has been ordered to come. Please give instructions to the brigade commander!"

    Zeng Shiqiang looked at Wei Guoliang, with unconcealed admiration in his eyes, and said: "Old Wei, your regiment fought well. You broke in the fastest, evacuated the fastest, and suffered the least casualties. You are worthy of being the sharp knife regiment of our Third Brigade!"

    Wei Guoliang smiled calmly.  He knew that the brigade commander didn't come to him just to praise the regiment. He must have other tasks to explain, so he quietly waited for the brigade commander's next words.

    ??????????????????? Zeng Shiqiang said: "Old Wei, I will give you a task. Let's destroy all Lao Maozi's logistics supplies, ammunition and vehicles. They must have supplies, and they will bring the first and second battalions of the first regiment, as well as the brigade force.  The two platoons of the artillery company will move to the vicinity of Barnur and Irkutsk. They will do nothing else but attack Soviet transport convoys. You decide how to attack them. You don't need to ask the brigade headquarters for instructions on everything. "

    Wei Guoliang smiled and said: "Brigadier, you are cruel enough. As the saying goes, if the soldiers and horses move forward before the food and grass are used, their logistics will be cut off. This will starve and trap the Soviet troops to death. Don't worry, I promise to complete the mission.  I also brought two battalions of soldiers back to you intact!"

    Zeng Shiqiang laughed, punched Wei Guoliang, and said: "What I want to hear most is this sentence. You, Old Wei, are full of clever ideas. You will never suffer losses in war. Take a two-hour rest and then set off with your troops."  Bring more radio stations and wait for your good news!¡±

    After Wei Guoliang left, Zeng Shiqiang said to the communications staff: "Send a telegram to the reconnaissance company commander Gao Changshan and order the reconnaissance company to closely monitor the movements of the Soviet army and report to the brigade headquarters every hour."

    Brigade Chief of Staff Colonel Tian Guangzhu came back after sending a telegram to the division headquarters. Seeing Zeng Shiqiang who was thoughtful, he asked: "Brigade Commander, the troops have been assembled. What is our next course of action?"

    Zeng Shiqiang smiled "hehe" and said: "Old man, even if the early morning raid didn't hurt the Soviet army, it still shocked them. This tactic can only be used once. We have to change our tactics. It's in broad daylight.  We can't rely on the front line, so we order the troops to spread out and hide, pay attention to air defense, sleep well, eat well, and cause trouble for the old man at night. At night, it's our cavalry's world. "

    At about four o'clock in the morning on September 21st, in Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, staff officers and correspondents were coming in and out. It was a tense and busy situation. More than an hour ago, I received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang.  The Soviet troops on the north bank of the Lenge River are mobilized frequently, and it is very likely that they will launch another attack on our positions today.

    Tang Qiuli, who had just rested for less than three hours, was woken up from his sleep by the combat staff on duty. After reading the telegram, he said: "Call back to Sun Zhenbang, closely monitor the Soviet army's movements, and prepare to resist the Soviet attack.  "

    Tang Qiuli could only reply to the telegram in this way. The Battle of Selenge River??, it's a situation where the enemy is attacking and we are defending. A real position defense battle can't come up with any tricks. After thinking about it, he picked up the phone and said, "This is the division commander, pick me up Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group!"

    Within a minute, Liu Cuigang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Commander, I am Liu Cuigang. Do I have a combat mission?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled, Liu Cuigang didn't rest all night, maybe he was pointing fingers in the air, otherwise, he couldn't answer the phone so quickly, he was like a war-fighter, he didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, and he was still full of energy and his eyes were filled with tears.  Lord of light!

    Tang Qiuli said: "Cui Gang, I just received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang. The Soviet army is making large-scale mobilization. I estimate that there will be another fierce battle soon. Your air force must be ready to attack at any time. Cuigang,  Yesterday, the Soviet Air Force suffered a big loss. This time, they should be prepared. The first batch of fighter jets you dispatch should not be small. According to the reports from the ground radar station, you can adjust your tactics at any time! "

    Liu Cuigang replied: "Commander, don't worry. Yesterday, we conducted a battle summary. All regiment commanders agreed that the Soviet Air Force suffered a loss, but if the Soviet Army wanted to break through our positions, they had to use bombers. Therefore, we  The formulated tactics were to dispatch the first group of aircraft, no less than twelve fighter regiments, and more than 730 fighter planes. If they wanted to fight, they would fight to the death, concentrate their superior forces, and consume the Soviet air power. "

    Liu Cuigang's tone contained great self-confidence. After putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile and shake his head. At this time, Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army, hurried in and said, "Division Commander, the Third Cavalry Brigade  The telegram was returned and the first battle was won!¡±

    Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, with a smile on his face, and said to Wang Jun: "Zeng Shiqiang fought well, annihilating the second largest number of enemies, burning Soviet supplies and ammunition, and blowing up transportation  Vehicle, this is a fatal blow. This Zeng Shiqiang knows this very well. He grasped the key point of this Soviet army and called Zeng Shiqiang back to agree with their strategy! "

    Wang Jung was about to leave when he was stopped by Tang Qiuli again, "Chief of Staff Wang, have you found out the numbers of this Soviet army?"

    Wang Jun replied: "Division commander, we have found out. The intelligence office reported that they are two infantry divisions of the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region, with a strength of about 28,000 people. There are no tanks or armored units, but the real  The intention is not clear yet. We judge that this Soviet army is heading towards Khovd, but there is no precise intelligence support. Everything is based on judgment. "

    Tang Qiuli sneered and said: "Whether it is a surprise force or a partial force, we have prepared a large encirclement for more than 20,000 Soviet troops in Uliasutai, so we don't need to worry about them. However, Zeng Shiqiang suddenly made a move.  The attack did cause a lot of confusion and trouble to General Kurekin. It might be of some help to Sun Zhenbang's frontal battlefield. By the way, is there any news about Li Changjiang's 5th Cavalry Brigade? Chief of Staff Zhao  , When will we arrive in Cullen?¡±

    Wang Jun replied: "The Fifth Cavalry Brigade is still moving in the direction of Ulan-Ude. It has not made any major movements for the time being and has not exposed its whereabouts. After receiving a telegram, Chief of Staff Zhao will be ready at around nine o'clock this morning.  Get to Cullen!¡±

    Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Send a telegram to Li Changjiang and tell him not to be impatient and not to rush to find fighters. Maybe the fifth brigade will become our surprise force? I will rest for a while and wait for Sun Zhenbang to start.  I can¡¯t even sleep!¡±

    On the north bank of the Selenge River, at 4:30 in the morning on September 21, the Soviet army regained the Outer Mongolia Campaign Headquarters. Commander General Kulykin had deployed offensive forces and all offensive forces had entered  At the starting point of the attack, the artillery unit has already prepared all the equipment to bombard the ** division's positions. Of course, in this attack, the artillery no longer plays the leading role. The main force of the attack is the three fighter divisions of the Transcaucasus Military Region Air Force, and two  A bomber division.

    General Kulykin was cruel. His plan was to use two bomber divisions and more than a hundred bombers to rain down heavy aerial bombs on the positions of the ** division troops, killing those who desperately blocked his troops.  All the Chinese soldiers were buried underground. After the bombing, the attacking infantry units did not attack immediately. Instead, they used all the artillery to bombard them fiercely for an hour after an interval of twenty minutes.

    Those Chinese soldiers who were buried in underground bunkers were driven by the instinct of survival. When they crawled out in panic, they just saw the dim light in the early morning, and then they were drowned by an overwhelming burst of shells. Perhaps, **  There are only a few Chinese soldiers left on the division's position. The powerful socialist Soviet Union is in short supply of steel and artillery shells.

    In thirty minutes, Konev¡¯s bomber and fighter formations will fly over overwhelmingly. Perhaps, in a few hours, he will be standing on the south bank of the Selenge River.on the land.

    At this time, Lieutenant General Zernenko, Chief of Staff of the Military Region, hurried into the tent.
