Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the **Division's Directly Affiliated Corps, took over the post of commander-in-chief of the Selenge River Frontline Command. The first military meeting held was very short. He deployed counterattack missions and arranged the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Force.  The troops did not participate in the counterattack, and evacuated their forward positions to rest and recuperate on the front line of Luanshi Mountain.

    Liu Hongzhang believed that this was a matter of course and not complicated. The troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard fought for two days in a row. The consumption of the troops was very high. He did this out of practical considerations. Of course, he had to take care of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard.  The meaning of military force.

    However, the response of the brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard greatly exceeded his expectations. Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, was the first to stand up and tried his best to suppress his excitement and said: "  Commander-in-Chief Liu, this is your first time commanding the troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards. I should obey your orders unconditionally. However, on this position, my brigade suffered casualties of more than 5,000 soldiers, and they fell in front of me.  "

    "I once swore to the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade that unless the battle required it and there was no order from the division commander, the first brigade would die on the south bank position even if it was down to the last man. Now, you have arranged  We withdrew from our position and hid in the Rocky Mountains. I couldn¡¯t figure out whether it was our Outer Mongolia border guards who had no strength to fight anymore or some other reason why we retreated in such a confused manner. I couldn¡¯t explain it to the soldiers, and I¡¯m even more sorry for those who died in action.  soldiers and officers!"

    After Wang Qingshan's reply, other brigade commanders and regimental commanders also spoke one after another, "Commander Liu, what Brigadier Wang said makes sense. Our troops survived after two days of fierce fighting. They are all jinggy¨¤n  If the rich soldiers and officers cannot participate in this counterattack, it will chill their hearts and weaken the morale of the troops. Please reconsider the combat deployment. Our troops are determined to participate in the counterattack!"

    Liu Hongzhang did not expect that his seemingly reasonable and realistic combat deployment would trigger such a violent reaction among the generals of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard.  As if asking for help, he looked at Major General Ouyang Yishan, the commander of the second brigade.

    Ouyang Yishan stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone has misunderstood what Commander-in-Chief Liu meant. He did not exclude the Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops who fought bloody battles for two days from the battle. He only considered it based on the actual situation. Your  The troops indeed need to retreat to the rear to rest. The division commander¡¯s telegram also clearly stated that we will still have to hold off the Soviet army on the Selenge River line for four days. The battle has to be fought, and the rest is also for fighting again!¡±

    Wang Qingshan stood up again.  Said: "Deputy Commander Ouyang, I understand Commander Liu's good intentions and have no intention of disobeying orders. However, on behalf of all the troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Defense Force on the front line of the Selenge River, I request the approval of the two commanders-in-chief. We  The troops will participate in the counterattack in the early morning! If we don¡¯t fight this battle, we will have no shame in seeing Commander Sun!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan looked at each other, and both of them understood that in terms of combat skills, soldiers' training level, and weapons and equipment, the Outer Mongolia Border Guards were indeed inferior to any brigade directly under the corps, but judging from their performance  In terms of morale, the results of the two days showed signs of the main field troops, or in other words, they were bloody. The two exchanged opinions in a low voice.

    Liu Hongzhang stood up and said loudly: "Well, he is indeed a subordinate of Commander Sun. He is so ruthless. I, Liu Hongzhang, admire him. I discussed it with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ouyang and decided that the four troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard  Each infantry brigade will detach a reinforced regiment and assign it to our two brigades to participate in the counterattack that will take place early tomorrow morning. The rest of the troops will hold their positions and support the withdrawal of the counterattack troops! "

    The brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army immediately became happy. Wang Qingshan said a little embarrassedly: "Commander Liu, I'm sorry. I fired the first shot and spoke uncontrollably, disrupting your battle.  Deployment, but don¡¯t worry, after the battle begins, I, Wang Qingshan, promise to obey orders and obey orders!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang pointed at Wang Qingshan helplessly and said: "You madman Wang, I know you are a restless master. Okay, let each brigade make arrangements and send which regiment to participate in the battle?"

    The venue immediately became lively. Each group leader showed off the advantages of his group and became red-faced. Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan could only smile bitterly. Both of them were not able to intervene at all and were not familiar with the situation. However, they still liked it very much.  This kind of atmosphere is placed in his own troops. Every time they compete for the main attack mission, several regiment commanders almost fight against each other. In the combat meetings of the directly affiliated regiments, Liu Hongzhang himself is the unyielding leader, with a loud voice.  Bigger than anyone else, only the commander of the Fourth Brigade, Major General Chu Ziye, can compete with him!

    After arguing for more than ten minutes, the four regiments participating in the battle were arranged. However, the regiment commanders who finally got the mission became depressed immediately. The brigade commander took the role of regiment leader without hesitation. As the regiment leader, he could only  Be able to be the deputy even if you feel wronged!

      By the time the meeting ended, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening on September 21. The Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops were preparing in an orderly manner. The troops of the first and second brigade directly under the corps quietly followed the traffic trenches.  The silent movement reached the forward position. The Soviet troops on the river beach and the north bank were not aware of all this. They had no idea that more than 30,000 tigers came in the dark night!

    Liu Hongzhang's brigade headquarters and Ouyang Yishan's brigade headquarters were combined into one to form the battle frontline headquarters. Immediately, Liu Hongzhang reported the Selenge River frontline, today's battle situation, the losses of the Outer Mongolia border defense forces, and plans for tomorrow.  The battle plan to counterattack the Soviet army in the early morning was reported to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

    Cullen, at around nine o'clock in the night on September 21, Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, had just returned to the temporary headquarters from the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Field Hospital. To be honest, Tang Qiuli was in a very bad mood, sitting in the car  Go up and say nothing.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    It was a surgeon who was in his sixties, experienced in martial arts, and had the rank of major general medical officer. He told Tang Qiuli, "Commander, from a doctor's point of view, Commander Liu's injury is not optimistic. The large-caliber airborne machine gun bullets  , very lethal. After penetrating the right shoulder, it destroyed the nervous system and shattered the bones. Moreover, the wounded person lost too much blood and was already in a dying state. Although a blood transfusion was performed in time, when would he wake up?  It depends on his own vitality!"

    Tang Qiuli's vision went dark, he shook his head, tried to calm down, and asked as calmly as possible: "Doctor, I need to know whether Liu Cuigang's life can be saved?"

    The gray-haired major general doctor pondered for a moment and replied: "Commander, we have tried our best. Judging from the current vital signs of the wounded, they are relatively stable and the possibility of recovery is very high. However, sequelae will be unavoidable.  Commander, please rest assured that our hospital will do its best to ensure Commander Liu¡¯s life!¡±

    Tang Qiuli felt relieved and asked: "Doctor, what is the most serious sequelae?"

    The major general doctor replied: "If the wound is infected, the limb must be amputated. Otherwise, the life of the casualty will be endangered. Even if there is no infection, the normal activities of the wounded right arm will be greatly affected. In other words  , after the injured person fully recovers, the normal function of his right arm will not be guaranteed, and it will be equal to a semi-disability!"

    Tang Qiuli's ears were buzzing like millions of bees. He could hardly hear what the military doctor said behind him. In his mind, there were only three words "semi-crippled".

    Tang Qiuli knew that Liu Cuigang, who loved flying and regarded the blue sky as an indispensable part of his life, would be hit hard once he lost the qualifications and ability to fly into the sky, fly fighter planes, and soar into the blue sky.  How old is it? To put it bluntly, two-thirds of his life has been lost. The surviving Liu Cuigang is almost a walking corpse. When he wakes up, how can he accept this cruel reality?

    Based on his understanding of Liu Cuigang, who had a strong personality, and that Liu Cuigang would even choose to commit suicide, Tang Qiuli suddenly shuddered, woke up, and hurriedly said to the doctor: "As a division commander, I ordered the field hospital to carry out secondary treatment on the wounded.  Fourteen hours of monitoring, doctors and nurses must be in the ward continuously, and all weapons are not allowed in the ward. In addition, I will leave eight special guards here to stay. Once the wounded wakes up, they will be dispatched as soon as possible.  notice me!"

    Tang Qiuli left the field hospital with a heavy heart. Eight special guards arranged by Shanhu stayed in the ward in shifts. In the past, Tang Qiuli was optimistic about Liu Cuigang's injury.

    When I was on the airport runway, anxiously looking up at the northern sky, I made various guesses about Liu Cuigang's injury. When Liu Cuigang's fighter plane appeared staggeringly in the sunny sky with thick smoke.  When they got on, Tang Qiuli's heart was clenched. The fighter plane aimed at the runway and landed. Although the movement was deformed, it still touched the ground safely. After gliding for a distance, it stopped crookedly on the lawn of the runway.

    The parked fighter jet was still puffing out thick smoke. Ambulances and fire trucks, blaring their sirens, were speeding past. Tang Qiuli also jumped on the jeep and rushed towards the fighter jet together.

    When several ground staff and doctors struggled to open the nearly broken cockpit cover of the fighter jet, and lifted Liu Cuigang, who was soaked in blood, out of the cabin and put him on a stretcher, Tang Qiuli's jeep also rushed towards him.  When he arrived in front of him, he saw at a glance that Liu Cuigang's right arm was bloody and bloody, and he could even see the white bone stubble.
