    Putting down the phone, Sun Zhenbang gritted his teeth and walked back and forth in the shelter. He knew that Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, had followed him to fight in North China when he was guarding the headquarters from the Yellow River. He was a man who could fight hard.  Commander, he will not complain unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Wang Qingshan complained, saying that the situation was very critical and that it was the critical moment. Sun Zhenbang suddenly stopped and picked up the phone. He just shook it and stopped again. He wanted to devote all the reserves of Luanshishan to the call.  On the forward position, however, it was just past ten o'clock in the morning. Looking at the crazy energy of the Soviet army, I am afraid that the next battle will be more intense and cruel. If we use the reserve team now, what will happen to the next battle?  ?

    Sun Zhenbang gritted his teeth and said to his staff: "Convey my order to the frontline troops and move the Soviet troops closer to fight. No fire is allowed within fifty meters. Use grenades. Then, wait for the command from the headquarters and launch a counterattack across the board!"

    As a last resort, Sun Zhenbang could only adopt this style of play. Only by mixing with the attacking Soviet soldiers could he minimize the lethal effect of Soviet tank fire. Otherwise, when the frontline troops' firepower point was destroyed by Soviet tanks,  When they are knocked out one after another, the next step is to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Even if the Soviet attack is repelled, the casualties of the troops will be unbearable.

    What General Kurekin lacks is time, but what Sun Zhenbang lacks is troops. He cannot provide more manpower and compete with the Soviet army. He also has a bigger worry, which is the combat effectiveness and combat experience of the troops. If it is the main force  The soldiers of the corps were accustomed to this kind of fighting method. The commander placed the Soviet soldiers as close as fifty meters away before fighting the company and platoon leaders.  Dare to put the Soviet troops closer than thirty meters before opening fire!

    However, most of the soldiers under his command are new recruits who have joined the army in the past two years. They have never been on the battlefield or seen blood. The first two times they repelled the Soviet attacks were under smooth conditions, but the current situation  , but this is not the case, the Soviet army has already boarded the river beach.  This type of fighting requires soldiers to have a strong psychological quality, in case a soldier falters and runs away from the battle.  An avalanche effect will occur, causing the defense line to collapse.

    "Take risks. You are taking risks!" Sun Zhenbang kept reminding himself in his heart.  However, if we don't fight like this, those damn Soviet tanks will do too much damage to the troops, especially the light and heavy machine gun firepower points.  He also saw that the Soviet soldiers of the second attack wave had gathered on the north bank and were preparing to join the attack.  And his own artillery fire has become very sparse.

    If the artillery fire is concentrated for a period of time at this time, the effect is self-evident. It will cut off the rhythm of the Soviet offensive, relieve the pressure on the frontline troops, and repel the first wave of Soviet attacks. If the second wave of Soviet troops board the  The South Bank, for him, was a disaster. Sun Zhenbang picked up the phone and said, "First Artillery Brigade? I'm Sun Zhenbang, looking for your brigade commander!"

    The phone rang for a long time, until Sun Zhenbang was waiting impatiently. Only then did a voice on the other end say: "Commander, I am Xiao Changzhu, chief of staff of the brigade. What are your orders?"

    In the earphones, the explosion of artillery shells was loud and deafening. From a distance of more than ten kilometers, one could imagine how fierce the artillery battle was. The sound was intermittent and very unclear. Sun Zhenbang shouted: "Chief of Staff Xiao, I  Find your Brigadier Jiang!"

    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Xiao Changzhu replied: "Commander, our brigade commander is seriously injured and is being rescued!"

    Sun Zhenbang was stunned. An artillery brigade commander could be seriously injured. It showed how much pressure the two artillery brigades were under. He hurriedly asked: "Are the injuries serious? What is the loss of the troops? Can you still withstand it?  ?"

    Xiao Changzhu's voice became deeper and he replied: "Commander, more than half of the first brigade's troops were injured and killed, and about two-thirds of the artillery was damaged. However, we can still persist. Even if there is only one gun left, we can still hit the shells."  To the Soviet position! However, our brigade commander's injury was very serious. He was injured by a Soviet artillery shell on the second regiment's position. The military doctor said that the situation is not optimistic and I have taken over the command!  "

    Sun Zhenbang was heartbroken. He had worked hard to manage the Outer Mongolian border defense force for several years, and finally managed to save three artillery brigades. He had two brigades as far as the Selenge River defense line, and more than half of them were lost in one fell swoop.  , and even caught up with a brigade commander. Needless to say, the situation of the second brigade was not much better. This was only the second day of the blocking war!

    Sun Zhenbang calmed down and said: "Chief of Staff Xiao, order all your artillery to bombard the Soviet follow-up troops that are gathering on the north bank. After fifteen minutes, stop the bombardment and move positions immediately. In addition, tell the military doctor what I said, no matter what.  The price is to rescue your brigade commander!"

    Hearing Xiao Changzhu¡¯s firm and powerful answer, Sun Zhenbang smiled happily, but he also knew that fifteen minutesIn the end, the 1st Artillery Brigade may not have a few men or a few guns left. Shelling the Soviet second attack echelon will inevitably lead to crazy retaliation and suppression by the Soviet artillery, especially the Soviet troops in the first attack wave.  , when you have already begun to land on the beach, killing your strongest fire support can maintain the continuity of the attack to the greatest extent.

    After putting down the phone, Sun Zhenbang felt a bitter taste welling up in his heart. Then, he issued the same order to the Second Artillery Brigade. Everyone knows this truth: "Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood." However,  The pressure faced by the frontline troops was unprecedented. The Soviet tanks kept pouring artillery shells over them, causing huge casualties to the frontline troops.

    If the second attack echelon of the Soviet army crosses the Selenge River, the two waves of Soviet troops combined will be more than five infantry divisions strong. With over 100,000 Soviet soldiers swarming in, the defense line cannot be held no matter what.  , Therefore, Sun Zhenbang is not going to keep Qingshan here. He wants to use all his artillery resources to give the Soviet army a try.

    At this moment, on the south bank position, there was a loud explosion of grenades, and faint shouts of killing could be heard. Sun Zhenbang raised his telescope and observed the situation on the position. It was very bad. In several areas, Soviet soldiers had already rushed into the position.  While he was engaging in hand-to-hand combat with his own soldiers, he threw down his binoculars, picked up a helmet and put it on his head, grabbed a submachine gun, and shouted, "Guard Company, follow me to the forward position!"

    Lieutenant Colonel Meng Chaoxu, the operations section chief next to him, grabbed him and said, "Commander, you can't go to the forward position. It's too dangerous. Should we report the dangerous situation in the position to the division commander and request air fire support?"

    Sun Zhenbang threw Meng Zhaoxu away angrily and said: "Danger! My life, Sun Zhenbang, is not much more valuable than those soldiers on the front line. Please request air fire support. In the air battle just now, you have not seen that the aviation force will also suffer heavy losses.  They have just returned, do we have the nerve to ask for help?¡±

    "Ding, ding, ding," the phone on the shell box rang rapidly. Sun Zhenbang grabbed the phone angrily and said, "I'm Sun Zhenbang, speak!"

    "Commander, I am Wang Qingshan. Our position has been broken through in many places and we have fallen into a melee. It's so fucking evil. The old man has identified the position of our first brigade and they are all rushing towards me.  , with the size of four regiments, Commander, please order the third regiment in Luanshi Mountain to urgently reinforce the front line, otherwise, we will not be able to hold it any longer!" Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, shouted angrily.  .

    Sun Zhenbang was furious and shouted: "Wang Qingshan, don't complain to me. The positions of that brigade are all the same. The third regiment cannot move. That is the reserve team. They are all gone. What can you do to repel the Soviet attack below?"  The first brigade, even if you beat the last person, you must hold your position for me, otherwise, I will shoot you!"

    Dropping the phone, Sun Zhenbang rushed out of the shelter and rushed into the smoke-filled battlefield. He had just been running along the traffic trench for less than five minutes when he heard a loud "Boom!" and a shell exploded nearby. The dust and smoke from the explosion were overwhelming.  With his figure out of sight, several guards around him pounced on the commander. When the smoke dissipated, Sun Zhenbang's dazed head was shaking, protruding from the dirt in his mouth, and he got up with difficulty.

    A burst of severe pain caused him to stagger and fall again. In order to cover the commander, two guardsmen sacrificed their lives. Sun Zhenbang had a ferocious piece of shrapnel stuck in his back. The bright red blood soaked his uniform, "Commander  The officer is injured!" The other guards screamed and hurriedly carried Sun Zhenbang into the headquarters.

    Sun Zhenbang grinned in pain, and the cold sweat on his face made his face blackened by gunpowder smoke show pale colors. He smiled with difficulty and said: "What a fuss, you still can't die, damn, I have been fighting for so many years."  , The little devil didn¡¯t kill me, so don¡¯t even think about it!¡±

    Two military doctors braved the smoke of war and entered the shelter. After checking the wounds, an older lieutenant colonel military doctor said: "Commander, although your injury is not in a vital part, it is too large and is bleeding."  If there is too much, he must be sent to the rear hospital for surgery, otherwise his life will be in danger!"

    Sun Zhenbang resisted the waves of exhaustion and said: "Bullshit, isn't it just a little bit of skin scratched by the shell? How can it be so serious? I'm at the rear hospital. Who is commanding here? If I need to do an operation, I have to be there."  The headquarters is doing it, but you can¡¯t use anesthesia!¡±

    He then said to Meng Zhaoxu: "Chaoxu, during my operation, you will take charge of the situation of the forward position on my behalf. Pay attention to the second echelon of the Soviet army. Also, the news of my injury must be kept secret from the frontline troops! Don't affect the soldiers.  morale!¡±

    Just after saying this, Sun Zhenbang's eyes went dark and he passed out. Everyone shouted in panic. Meng Zhaoxu shouted to the two military doctors who were at a loss what to do: "Did you hear what the commander said? Let's do the operation at the headquarters! If the commander  If something goes wrong, I'll shoot you!"
