Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Third Army, the leading force of the Soviet Far East Front, which was reinforcing the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, followed the orders of the leading commander, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, deputy chief of staff of the Front Army, and carried out massacres on the march route, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.  , It¡¯s really killing all the way.

    Liu Tiehan, who received a report from the reconnaissance unit on the atrocities of the Soviet army, was so angry that he was furious, gritted his teeth, and vowed to command the troops to catch up and fight even if the Soviet army retreated to the Xing'an Mountains. This made Li Guangjin, director of the Operations Division of the acting chief of staff,  The colonel couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hesitated in his heart. Should he report the deputy division commander's current excitement to the division commander?

    ¡°If the deputy division commander really made a decision, given his temper, he would have tried to dissuade him no matter what. However, once the report was made, if the deputy division commander had no impulse and the division commander sent a telegram to inquire, how embarrassed would he be?

    Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Tiehan say: "Guang Jin, you frown and shake your head for a while. What are you thinking about? You shouldn't think that I am blinded by anger! Hahaha! Don't worry, it will never happen.  If something like that happens, order the reconnaissance troops monitoring the Urez River Bridge to pay close attention to the movements of this group of Soviet troops. Don't let these rats ruin my major event. "

    Li Guangjin¡¯s face turned red and he said honestly: ¡°To be honest with the deputy division commander, I am really worried about this, and I am considering whether to report it to the division commander!¡±

    Liu Tiehan shook his head helplessly and said: "You are just too serious and honest, but Ketian is different. He knows what I say and mean it. You should learn from Yang Ketian on this!"

    While Liu Tiehan was dispatching troops, Major Waldrich, the reconnaissance staff officer of the Third Army of the Soviet Far East Front, had been ordered to lead two companies of reconnaissance troops. The main force was more than 50 kilometers away, with only one mission, to control Urez.  on the river.  The only road bridge.

    There are not many bridges in Outer Mongolia, and this bridge is the only channel on the Urez River that can pass tanks and heavy howitzer carriages. There are of course bridges at other ferries, but those are just short bridges, let alone tanks and  The howitzer is on a truck, and not even a jeep can pass.

    The commander of the army, Major General Aslanov, had a serious expression when explaining the mission.  "Comrade Waldrich, I give you a very important task. Control this bridge before the main force and prevent it from being destroyed by the Chinese army. This task is related to the marching speed of the entire force. Once it is destroyed, the four of us will  An army of more than 100,000 troops will be blocked on the east bank of the Urez River. Do you know what this means? "

    "I also want to tell you that this arduous and glorious task was personally ordered by the commander, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, deputy chief of staff of the front army. Therefore, Comrade Commander is paying close attention to your actions and making preparations. Bring more  Call a few radio stations and set off immediately with your troops. Move quickly. Once you encounter the Independent Division troops or the bridge has been destroyed, immediately telegraph the deputy chief of staff, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko."

    Major Waldrich stood on the bridge across the Ullez River. The sky above his head was so gloomy that not even a single starlight could be seen. Under his feet was the roaring river water, lapping at the shore and making a "wow" sound.  With the sound of the sound, bursts of wet cold air surged up, and the night was so thick that I couldn't see my fingers. Looking into the distance, I saw the vast and dark fields. Several hills looked like squatting monsters. The night wind blew through, and the cold air was refreshing.  Into the very core.

    For some reason, Major Waldrich felt an uneasy feeling in his heart. Whether it was because it was too quiet or because he was timid about going deep alone. He always felt that something was not right on the other side. He said to the two company commanders beside him: "You guys  The two companies respectively controlled both ends of the bridge and set up a cordon three kilometers ahead. Each company sent a platoon of troops to check whether there were any explosives buried on the bridge. Be careful. After more than three hours, the main force would  The troops will arrive soon, and we have completed our mission!¡±

    A captain and company commander thought for a moment and suggested: "Comrade Major, should we send some troops to conduct a deep reconnaissance on the West Bank?"

    A gust of cold wind blew by. Major Waldrich shrank his neck and said displeasedly: "There is no need. Our mission is to control the bridge and conduct deep reconnaissance. Do you know that is the main marching direction of the troops? Furthermore,  What should I do if something goes wrong when a small unit is operating at night? What should I do if the whereabouts of the unit are exposed? "

    A series of question marks left the company commander with a strong sense of responsibility speechless. Major Waldrich said to the communications soldier beside him: "Send a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko, the leading reconnaissance unit of our Third Army.  The Urez River Bridge has been controlled and the bridge is intact! There is no sign of independent division troops on both sides! "

    Two companies of Soviet soldiers began to take action. They didn't realize it. Not far from the bridge, there was the reconnaissance battalion of the 9th East Point Brigade. Hundreds of eyes were watching the Soviet soldiers' every move.  As soon as it moved, further away, the east pointed to three brigades plus Outer MongoliaSeven local garrison regiments of the National Defense Army, with more than 50,000 soldiers, have entered the position and are ready.

    On the positions of two artillery brigades and five rocket launcher regiments, the artillery took off its gun jacket, and its thick muzzle was raised, pointing to the eastern sky. The gunners were carefully wiping the shells, waiting for the main force of the Soviet army to arrive, thousands of  Tens of thousands of artillery shells were thrown at them immediately.

    At the East Point Command, Colonel Li Guangjin, Director of the Operations Division, reported to Liu Tiehan: "Deputy Division Commander, the commander of the 9th Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion responsible for monitoring the small group of Soviet troops reported that the Soviet troops only controlled the Urez River Bridge.  , and did not conduct in-depth reconnaissance.¡±

    Liu Tiehan smiled coldly and said contemptuously: "They didn't dare. Two companies with hundreds of men and horses dared to run to the hinterland of Outer Mongolia. If they weren't afraid of arousing the enemy, hundreds of Soviet soldiers would have turned into corpses long ago.  Jin, are all the outflanking troops on the left and right in place?"

    Li Guangjin replied: "The commander of the left attack group, the first brigade commander Zhao Yi, reported that the troops had deployed at the designated position. Just an hour ago, the leading troops of the Soviet army passed through their ambush area, and the right attack group  Commander Huo Shouyi, commander of the Fourth Brigade, reported that his troops had also deployed and found that the Soviet army was marching in a hurry. According to the Soviet army's marching speed, it is estimated that they will reach the east bank of the Urez River between two and three o'clock tomorrow morning.  "

    "There is no news about the 10th Brigade and the Cavalry Mixed Brigade that are outflanking the Soviet army's rear. Their outflanking route is the farthest, and they are marching in the dark. It is possible that they will not be able to increase their speed. What I am worried about is that they will encounter  When we arrived at one of the Soviet troops advancing in multiple directions, something unexpected happened! "

    Liu Tiehan said with certainty: "It's impossible. Our preset battlefield has taken into account the Soviet army's multi-pronged advance, leaving enough space so that nothing like the encounter will happen. The troops on the left and right wings have not reported anything similar."  Chen Guozhu and He Zhuguo's troops will not encounter this situation. It doesn't matter. If you wait, they must have failed to contact the headquarters in time on the march. "

    "Also, the reporting division pointed out that due to the change in the time when the Soviet army arrived on the east bank of the Urez River, the attack on the reinforcements of the Soviet Far East Front was originally scheduled to be launched at 1:00 a.m. on September 29, but was postponed to the early morning.  Between two and three o¡¯clock!¡±

    After receiving the telegram from Major Vadrich of the reconnaissance team, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko was completely relieved. He was really worried that the Urez River Bridge would be destroyed by the independent division troops. If that were the case, the Urez River would be destroyed.  It can block his own troops for two or three days. For Kulykin, who is eager to see through, one more minute of delay will be more dangerous. Those gentlemen in the General Staff Headquarters are not going to eat him?

    After relaxing, Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko couldn't help but think actively, and he couldn't help but think: "Zhukov talked about the Chinese Tang Qiuli very powerfully, and it was amazing. The Ulez River Bridge, such an important traffic chokepoint, could not explode without blowing up."  If it is destroyed, troops should be sent to defend it, but the reconnaissance team did not find anything unusual. What is going on? "

    After much thought, there was no answer. In the end, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko attributed all this to the sudden change of march direction of the troops, coupled with the somewhat cruel but absolutely effective confidentiality measures he had taken.  The commanders, including the seemingly very powerful Tang Qiuli, would never have expected that more than 100,000 people from the four armies had entered the eastern part of Outer Mongolia.

    "I have never fought against Tang Qiuli, but now it seems that it is nothing more than this!" Lieutenant General Yemenchenko thought secretly, and he couldn't help but underestimate Tang Qiuli a lot.

    At about 2:30 in the morning on September 29th, the night was as dark as ink. The gloomy dark clouds blocked the starry sky, but the wind became stronger and stronger, blowing across the open grassland and turning it yellow.  The pastures whimpered.

    Liu Tiehan's command post seemed very quiet. All the deployments that needed to be made had been completed. All that was left was to wait for the Soviet army to come and dig into their pockets.

    "Deputy division commander, come and see! Soviet troops have appeared!" A combat staff officer who was lying in front of a high-power telescope to observe the situation on the east bank of the Urez River suddenly shouted loudly.

    Liu Tiehan, who had closed his eyes to repose, suddenly opened his eyes. The cold light in his eyes disappeared in a flash. He walked a few steps to the telescope. In the lens, a long string of lights appeared on the vast grassland on the east bank of the Urez River, like a line.  The sinuous and squirming poisonous dragon swam toward the Urez River with its head and tail swaying. The lights pierced the night, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

    Liu Tiehan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he said to himself: "The wait was not in vain, I'm finally here. Setting up such a big place and not inviting guests will be a waste of all my hard work!"

    At the same time, several phones in the headquarters rang rapidly, and the reconnaissance troops of the 7th, 8th, and 9th brigades all reported similar situations, "One corps of Soviet advance troops has approached the Urez River.Side, crossing the bridge!  "
