Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Even General Kurekin, who was a little confused and worried, could hear the deep worry in his deputy's tone, as well as the fear from his heart!

    Chief of Staff Zernenko could not help but be afraid. He was the first to see the telegram from the General Staff. After reading it, a chill ran down his spine. In the Transcaucasus Military District, except for the commander and political commissar,  He is the third-ranking figure, commander and political commissar, and General Kulykin is the second-ranking leader under one person and above hundreds of thousands of people.

    This is originally a good thing. It is better to be responsible for one person than to serve two equal commanders. However, if Kulen is not captured before the end of September and the tasks assigned by the leader are not completed, according to the rules of the Soviet Red Army, Stalin will deal with the generals of the army.  It is his usual practice. As the second-ranking leader, if he can't run away, he will be unlucky with General Kulykin. It is certain that he will take a bullet. It is lucky that his family will not be affected.

    No matter from which point of view, solving this problem is self-rescue. However, Lieutenant General Errenenko tossed and turned all night thinking about it without any clue. Then he stared at the dark circles under his eyes early in the morning and came to find Kure.  General Jin asked for advice.

    General Kurekin was silent and looked at the misty opposite bank with a dull expression. The dawn had begun to appear in the east, and a wisp of rose-purple clouds softly emerged from the horizon. After a while, the rose-purple turned into a bright red, setting off the sky.  The early morning of September 27th arrived as scheduled.

    It¡¯s the beginning of a new day, but for General Kurekin, time is running out like a reminder, which means that the time left for him is less than three days.  Looking at the misty morning sun in the east, the muscles on General Kurekin's cheeks bulged, and there was a hint of ruthlessness like a gambler in his eyes.

    "Comrade Zernenko, convey my order. The troops will launch an attack on the other side according to yesterday's battle order at six o'clock. The artillery troops will start a thirty-minute bombardment. All troops will be organized into three offensive echelons and take turns.  Go into battle and ensure an uninterrupted attack. Today, we will flood the independent division positions on the south bank even with blood and corpses.¡±

    "In addition, inform the comrades in the Air Force of the Don River Military District to provide us with air cover. We don't need bombers, we just need to not be disturbed by the aviation of the independent division when we attack! Even if they have done their job," General Kulykin bit out  Ya, said fiercely.

    Lieutenant General Zirnenko¡¯s cheek twitched involuntarily.  I know the current situation of the troops very well. After several days of fierce fighting, all divisions are at a disadvantage.  Several of the divisions responsible for the main attack were half disabled, and the morale of the soldiers was extremely low. The commander's order was based on the crazy mentality of a gambler, trying to squeeze out the last drop of blood from the Transcaucasus Military District. How can I put it?  ,put all one's eggs in one basket!

    Under normal circumstances, such a force is not suitable for any form of attack. However, other than that, is there a better way?  No, then just gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Lieutenant General Zernenko was silent for a while and said: "Comrade Commander, I agree with your approach. No matter what the final result is, I will bear it with you."  All responsibility!"

    Chief of Staff Zernenko's words were filled with sincerity from the heart. General Kulykin could naturally hear it, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He was not wrong about this guy. At the critical moment, he could be with him.  Standing together is very rare!

    When the morning sun dispersed the fog, everything on both sides of the Selenge River was clearly visible. On the other side, the positions that had suffered so much and soaked with the blood of Soviet Red Army soldiers were as silent as ever, with not a single person in sight.  There are traces of the activities of the soldiers of the Independent Division, but General Kulykin knows that behind this silence are tens of thousands of damn Chinese soldiers, black holes of gun muzzles and whistling bullets.

    At six o'clock sharp, the Soviet artillery began shelling. The deafening loud noise once again broke the tranquility of the morning. The artillery shells roared across the sky and exploded into balls of fire on the other side. The scorching shrapnel heated the clear morning air.  The place was stirred up and filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke.

    While the artillery began its artillery attack, tens of thousands of Soviet infantrymen from the first echelon of the attack passed through the muddy beach on the river bank in dense masses and boarded assault boats one after another. However, when there was no attack, the usual murderous spirit and  The spirit, the morale of the entire team, is filled with a sense of decadence and numbness, as well as the fear of knowingly committing suicide.

    On a high ground, a large group of senior Soviet generals were holding telescopes and looking at the battlefield with sweaty palms. Among them, the only figure missing was the supreme commander of the battlefield, General Kulykin. The commander at this time  Comrade, lock yourself in a tent and don't allow anyone to disturb you. No one knows what you are doing?

    At 6:30, the Soviet artillery fire began to extend, "rumbling" and hitting the positions on the south bank in depth.The Japanese army had also approached the shore. The first batch of Soviet soldiers began to jump off the assault boats and land on the shore. The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became tense.

    In the past few days of fighting, every time this moment comes, it is when the soldiers of the Independent Division begin to counterattack. In a few minutes, the positions on the other side will be sprayed with hot metal bullets, and mortar shells and grenades will be flying all over the sky.  , when the hoods came over, piercing and tearing the bodies of the soldiers, harvesting their lives, the senior Soviet generals who were paying attention to the battlefield situation had their hearts in their throats. They had seen similar tragic situations many times.  The same ending makes people feel numb.

    A few minutes later, there was no movement at all on the position on the other side. Only the bullets from the attacking troops hit the soil, causing it to scatter. A sharp-eyed Soviet officer suddenly shouted in an uneasy voice, "Comrades, hurry up!"  Look, the first echelon of forward troops has boarded the Chinese position!"

    Dozens of pairs of telescope lenses were focused on the point of attack. Under the gushing sun, a red flag fluttered in the morning wind. At this moment, it looked so cute. "Go up! Go up! At least two regiments are going up."  Come on!" Waves of incomprehensible screams of surprise rang out among the senior Soviet generals.

    It¡¯s unbelievable. In six or seven days, what I saw the most was that the attack was repelled. The blood of the soldiers dyed the beach on the other side red. Bodies lay on the muddy ground. That red flag brought me more than just  Is it the hope of breaking through the independent division's garrison position, or is it a symbol of getting rid of the passive situation.

    Three green signal flares, rising slowly in the sky under the dim red sunshine, were a signal that the first echelon had broken through the position on the other side and had occupied the position.

    "Huh!" The tent door curtain was opened rudely and rudely, and a cold morning breeze blew in without any scruples. General Kulykin, who was so stimulated that his thoughts fell into a wandering state, couldn't help but shudder.  , looked at this rash guy angrily.

    "Comrade Commander, Chief of Staff Zirnenko ordered me to inform you that the first echelon of offensive troops has successfully boarded the position on the south bank and is advancing to attack in depth!" A captain staff officer, regardless of Comrade Commander's ability to eat  The person's eyes were shouting at the top of his lungs.

    "What!" For a moment, General Kurekin's thinking came to a standstill. His blue-grey eyes stared at the young staff officer. The victory came so suddenly, and he was a little caught off guard. His heart beat violently several times.  , so that my chest feels tight and I can't breathe.

    The demeanor of General Kulykin frightened the young staff officer. He thought that the huge joy was too much for the comrade commander to bear. It is not uncommon for people to die due to excitement, so he cautiously shouted: "Comrade commander! Comrade commander!"  "

    General Kulykin woke up from a dream, grabbed the collar of the junior staff officer with his hands, and asked with wide eyes: "What did you say? I will shoot you for lying about military information!"

    The young staff officer turned pale with fright and stammered: "Comrade Commander, Division, our troops have successfully occupied the independent division garrison position on the south bank!"

    General Kulykin threw away the small staff officer and rushed out of the tent. The senior officers were gesticulating happily. Seeing that Chief of Staff Zernenko was also inside, General Kulykin asked: "Ji  Comrade Zernenko, is this true?"

    Lieutenant General Zernenko, his face full of joy, replied with high spirits: "My comrade commander, this is true. The eight infantry regiments of the first echelon have all boarded the south bank. I ordered the second echelon to  The eight infantry regiments began to cross the river and expand the results! "

    General Kulykin believed it, but the victory came so suddenly that he couldn't accept it. He continued: "Why didn't I hear the sound of the crossfire? What were the casualties of the troops?"

    Chief of Staff Zernenko shook his head and replied: "Comrade Commander, it is really unbelievable that our army did not encounter any form of obstruction. Judging from the situation reported by the front-line commander, it should have been last night that the independent  All the division soldiers evacuated the position, so there was no one on the position. Therefore, our army occupied the south bank with zero casualties! "

    Like a basin of cold water, the pocket was poured on the head of the ecstatic General Kulykin, causing his boiling emotions to suddenly drop to freezing point, "The position is empty? Our army has zero casualties? Those damn Chinese, yesterday  Evacuated at night?" General Kurekin murmured suspiciously.

    It¡¯s weird, everything smells abnormal, what are the Chinese doing?  Why did such an easy victory make his heart feel so empty? General Kulykin looked at Chief of Staff Zernenko with some hesitation, and asked weakly: "My Comrade Chief of Staff, are you here?"  Together, do you think it¡¯s normal?¡±

    Chief of Staff Zirnenko replied very simply: "Comrade Commander, this is not normal, absolutely not normal, the independent division garrison,It has been blocking us for more than a week and resisted our army's joint ground and air attacks for several days. It has basically stood its ground. There is no reason to suddenly abandon the position and retreat. However, Comrade Commander, from another perspective  , after all, our army broke through the Chinese defense line, isn't it?  "
