Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Qiuli, commander of the independent division, regarding the deployment of Battelle's armored troops, Yang Ketian's East Point troops, and the three mechanized brigades directly under the corps to directly block the Soviet army on the Checherleg front line, based on the commander of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District  General Kulykin is a veteran on the battlefield and has rich experience. It is likely that he sent some troops to conduct a tentative attack.

    Since we want to lure the enemy deeper and allow the main force of the Soviet army to confidently and boldly move south to attack Kulun, we must put on a frontal blockade. In terms of geographical conditions, Checheerleg is not as good as the Selenge River, but it is a natural barrier.  , is also the only terrain that can be used north of Cullen. It is routine to block the main force of the Soviet army from going south here.

    Therefore, defense facilities such as fortifications, trenches, anti-blast holes, shelters, etc. are indispensable at all. After listening to the division commander's words, Yang Ketian, the chief of staff of the East Point, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Commander, are you just showing off?  There¡¯s no need to spend so much time, right? Maybe the battle will turn into a counterattack a few hours after it starts, and the troops won¡¯t have a good rest after marching for several days. It¡¯s better to let the soldiers have a good night¡¯s sleep!¡±

    Tang Qiuli glared at Yang Ketian and said seriously: "Ketian, think of the problem simply. If Kurekin sees the flaw, the main force of the Soviet army is lingering on the south bank of the Selenge River and does not dare to go deep. Our ambush battle  , it will become a frontal counterattack. As a former division chief of staff, and now as the chief of staff of a regiment-level unit, you should know the difference between an ambush and a frontal assault. This kind of thinking cannot be allowed!"

    Yang Ketian stuck out his tongue and said quickly: "Teacher, can't I just listen to you? To be honest, your stern face makes me panic!" Then.  After calling in the accompanying staff officer and giving a few instructions, focusing on the issue of building fortifications for the troops, Tang Qiuli's expression softened.

    When Tang Qiuli and Yang Ketian were talking, Battelle never interrupted. Seeing that the two people had finished talking about the main issues, Battelle looked at Tang Qiuli eagerly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Brother!"

    Tang Qiuli was stunned.  This was on the battlefield. According to Battle's quality, there should be no private address, although this "brother," called him warm in his heart.  But it doesn't match the atmosphere and environment. What's wrong with Battle?

    Seeing Tang Qiuli looking at him in surprise.  Battelle embarrassedly continued: "Brother, do you have anything to eat? I haven't had a full meal for almost a day!" At this moment, Battelle was no longer a major general officer who had studied in Germany and fought in the European battlefield.  Not the commander in charge of the independent division's armored force and nearly two thousand tanks, in front of his brother.  The expression looks just like that of a child.

    Yang Ketian on the side didn¡¯t feel anything bad when he was talking to the teacher just now.  Hearing what Battle said, he immediately felt that he was burning with hunger. He was so hungry that his heart was close to his heart, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Commander, Commander Battle and I haven't slept well or eaten well in the past few days.  Finally seeing you, I feel relaxed and almost starved to death!"

    Tang Qiuli felt a pain in his heart, and secretly blamed himself. Battelle and Yang Ketian were forced to grow wings and fly to their destinations by the few telegrams he sent every day. They finally arrived at him, but they just ignored the assignment. Maybe,  In his subconscious mind, his younger brother, who had experienced the baptism of war, was no longer a child. In fact, his younger brother was not yet twenty-two years old.

    While blaming himself, Tang Qiuli patted his forehead and said, "Hey! What do you mean? The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. The two major generals are so hungry here that I can't afford to feed them."  It¡¯s like a meal, Chief of Staff Wang, hurry up and tell the cooking team to prepare something! There must be mutton!¡±

    Tang Qiuli has not forgotten that his younger brother prefers to eat mutton, which is a national custom. He has followed him since he was a child, and he ate smoothly. After listening to the teacher's words, everyone burst into laughter, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

    Battle smiled childishly, showing his white teeth, and his eyes were full of warmth. Yang Ketian couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's a blessing. I've been chewing the marching rations for several days. No matter how delicious it is, it's still enough."  Not to mention, when the teacher mentioned mutton, I felt like I was about to feel like a bird was coming out of my mouth! "

    Wang Jun suppressed his laughter and was about to leave when Mei Xue opened the door and came in, followed by three cooks. They were preparing the steaming meals. They glanced around with their big black eyes and said with a smile: "As soon as my brother and Chief of Staff Yang arrive,  I guessed that the two of them must not have eaten, so I asked the cooking team to prepare, No, hand-caught mutton! "

    Tang Qiuli laughed and joked: "Director Mei, if you are asked to be the director of the Information Department, it would be an understatement. I think it is quite suitable to be the director of the Logistics Department. Yu He, please consider my suggestion!"  "

    Mei Xue rolled her eyes at her husband, pursed her lips and smiled, and asked the cook to put the food on the Kang table. Battelle stood up quickly and said kindly: "Second sister-in-law,Sorry for you!  "Mei Xue nodded and smiled, her eyes full of doting.

    Yang Ketian was not as casual as Battelle, and respectfully shouted: "Director Mei!"

    Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. Eat quickly and rush back to the army immediately. You go first. The division headquarters will leave in a few hours. We have agreed in advance. Don't leave my headquarters behind."  , too far away from the front line!¡±

    At around three o'clock in the morning on September 27, dozens of armored command vehicles, radio vehicles, military jeeps and trucks, with their bright headlights on, stopped at the gate of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Headquarters. Shan Hu gave a concise order to set off.  Following the order, soldiers from the Special Guards and Guard Brigade, and then personnel from various departments of the division headquarters, boarded the vehicle in an orderly manner.

    Tang Qiuli came out of the room, took a deep breath of the crisp air of the late autumn night in Outer Mongolia, stretched out his arms comfortably, and did a few chest-expanding movements. His mind was clear, and his whole body was surging and he went to the battlefield again.  passion.

    Mei Xue chased him out of the house, holding a military windbreaker and dressing him carefully. She reluctantly told him: "Pay attention to your health and eat on time. It's cold in the morning and evening, so wear more clothes. And  , Don¡¯t lose your temper when something happens!¡±

    In fact, Mei Xue herself knows that these words are unnecessary. Her husband has never seen any storms and waves, and there are mountain tigers around her, but she still wants to say it, as if she feels empty in her heart if she does not say these words.

    Mei Xue said something, and Tang Qiuli nodded in agreement. He felt the warmth from his heart. His wife's childlike attitude was visible in his eyes and warmed his heart. After Mei Xue finished nagging, Tang Qiuli saw that at dawn,  In the dark night before, his wife's eyes were shining like morning stars. He hugged her tightly, then turned around and strode away.

    The long line of motorcade passed through the silent streets of Culun. The lights were like sharp swords, piercing the darkness of the night sky, and drove directly to the north. Mei Xue stood in the yard like this, motionless for a long time, until the car's  The sound of the motor disappeared and could no longer be heard, and my heart became empty. I sighed slightly and walked slowly back to the house.

    On this night, the land of northern Outer Mongolia was surging with rapids and no longer quiet. The independent division, with more than 200,000 troops, followed the orders of the division headquarters. In the dark night, on the vast grassland north of Kulun, from Hagen Gol to  A large net has been laid in the Baiyinchagan area.

    The dawn of September 27th in Outer Mongolia came quietly, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky. On both sides of the Selenge River, the cold air encircled the water vapor, covering the earth with a layer of mist. Everything was so quiet.  The roar of the river became increasingly clear.

    General Kulykin rubbed his swollen temples and felt dizzy. He slept very badly at night. The failure of yesterday's attack and the loss of the air force were constantly tangled in his mind. With the current state of the army, it is not suitable to continue the attack. In other words  In other words, General Kurekin himself felt that Qian Donkey was at the end of his rope and had almost exhausted all the tricks and methods he should use. The Independent Division troops' position on the other side was still an unbreakable fortress.

    The safest way is to wait for the reinforcements from the Far East Front to arrive, concentrate all the troops and firepower, and force a breakthrough again. However, a telegram from the General Staff forced me to give up this idea.

    In the telegram, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, did not criticize too much, nor did he mention taking responsibility for the failure of the air battle. His tone was as indifferent as boiled water. However, there was one sentence that made General Kulykin  Restless, "Comrade Kulykin, Comrade Stalin is in Moscow, waiting for news of the victory on the front line. When the leader summoned me, he said, comrades from the General Staff, please send Comrade Kulykin a calendar that I am using!"  "

    Comrade Stalin's words are more powerful than scolding yourself. Why should you give yourself a calendar? It is to remind yourself that the order to conquer Kulun at the end of September cannot be changed or wavered. The time left to you is  There are only three days left, it¡¯s up to you!

    General Kulykin could even imagine Comrade Stalin's cold tone when he said these words. He was in awe of this iron-fisted leader, General Kulykin. He talked about himself as a military region commander, one of those  So what about the marshal with outstanding merits? He was not just called a "traitor or traitor" and was shot. If Coulomb could not be captured by the end of September, Comrade Stalin did not even need to accuse himself.  Can easily make oneself disappear.

    Just being at a disadvantage in combat could cost him his life. He walked out of the tent aimlessly. The cold air outside did not make the worried and frowning General Kulykin clear his mind and looked at what was in front of him.  There was a mist, which made my heart even more panicked.

    Lieutenant General Zernenko, Chief of Staff of the Military Region, appeared next to General Kulykin like a ghost and said: "Comrade Commander, the telegram from the General Staff tells us an inadmissibleIgnoring the information, Comrade Stalin was very dissatisfied with the progress of the war. What should we do?  "
