Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The various artillery groups in the East Point of the Independent Division fired hundreds of thousands of artillery shells of various calibers in a small area of ??only a few dozen kilometers on the west bank of the Urez River in more than two hours, completely destroying this land from scratch.  I turned it over again at the end, and it turned into a place of death where shrapnel roared and swirled like rain.

    The Third Army of the Soviet Far East Front had its backbone broken and lost all temper. The artillery was able to fight back at first, but after the artillery shells flew like raindrops, they turned into flying objects in the huge explosion.  Ashes and parts.

    Major General Aslanov, the commander of the army, watched the rising sun rising like a spitting cloud. Without the roar of artillery for more than two hours, the battlefield not only did not quiet down, but became more noisy. He heard the soldiers of the Independent Division charging.  , let out an earth-shattering cry, and closed his eyes in despair. He knew that his third army was completely finished.

    Holding the telegram from Commander Yemenchenko, Deputy Chief of Staff, in his hand, he smiled miserably. Don¡¯t expect the following three armies to reach out and give him a hand. They are still too busy on their own!  Under the attack of the independent division troops on the east bank of the Urez River, they were in a hurry to deal with it.

    Lieutenant General Yemenchenko's telegram made it clear: "The main force, about fifteen kilometers away from the Urez River, was attacked from both sides by more than 100,000 troops of the Independent Division. The fighting was extremely tense. The troops were already on the way.  We are engaged in battle on all fronts and can only be on the defensive. The situation is not in my favor."

    "In view of the current battlefield situation, it is impossible to be in a disadvantageous position and support the withdrawal of your troops. Therefore, your troops should actively seek a good way to leave the battlefield, cross the Urez River, and move closer to the direction of the main force. Otherwise, the consequences will be worrying. Specific details  Measures. You can decide by yourself according to the battlefield situation and let go of finding a way to escape from the battlefield. The command will not interfere. In addition, I have already reported it to the headquarters for approval to withdraw the troops along the original route. I hope you will know!"

    The most terrible thing is the last few sentences in the telegram. The main force is about to withdraw, and.  There is no time to wait for the third army. In other words, the third army can only hope for good luck. If they can come back, everyone will run away together.  He slipped back in disgrace and could not run back.  You, Commander Aslanov, decide what to do yourself.  The power is delegated to you, so feel free to use it boldly!

    Commander Aslanov still doesn¡¯t understand what Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko means. The Third Army has become an abandoned son. Although the artillery fire of the independent division artillery to block the Urez River Bridge has stopped.  But he still has less than a quarter of his troops in his hands, and most of them are wounded. Even if he leaves the wounded and runs away.  But these three to five thousand people plunged into the maelstrom of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield on the east coast. These few people couldn't even stir up a wave.

    What¡¯s more, the infantry of the Independent Division has already surrounded them, can they escape?  One side suffered heavy losses and lost all morale, while the other side's morale was at a peak, and the shouts of killing were so loud that they surged up like a tide, swallowing up the few remaining troops without even burping.

    Will you lead the remaining soldiers and surrender to the Chinese?  Looking at the ferocity with which the independent division troops on the opposite side attacked, it was clear that they were leaving no room to spare and were fighting to the death. Commander Aslanov even knew what the Third Army had done along the way as the vanguard for the assault on the Kuron troops!

    Although the guards and staff who massacred the residents of eastern Outer Mongolia had long been dispersed by artillery shells and disappeared, he never thought that they would end up like this. There was not even anyone around to collect the corpses. He smiled sadly and pulled out the  He pulled out his pistol and put it to his temple.

    With a "bang" gunshot, bright red blood spurted out, spraying out a scarlet blood mist under the nascent sun. The Soviet major general commanding more than 40,000 troops was desperate when faced with a desperate situation.  Below, he drank a bullet and committed suicide. His body was laid out in the crater. Surrounded by roars of killing, there were the vigorous figures of the infantrymen of the East Point of the Independent Division passing by as they charged!

    By around 7 a.m. on September 29, the battle on the west bank of the Urez River came to an end with the annihilation of more than 40,000 troops of the Third Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Front. The smoke cleared, and under the bright morning sun, the Soviet Union  The corpses of soldiers lay across the battlefield ravaged by artillery fire. Trucks and tanks burned into piles of scrap metal, with lingering smoke rising from them.

    Liu Tiehan withdrew his gaze from observing the battlefield and said to Li Guangjin, director of the operations department: "Guangjin, order Chang Kai's 9th brigade to clean the battlefield, Wan Fulin's 7th brigade, and Chang Enduo's 8th brigade to pass through Urezi immediately.  River Bridge, pressing the Soviet troops on the east bank from the front! "

    After finishing speaking, he smiled as if he suddenly understood, and said: "Why are we cleaning the battlefield? Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells were smashed down, and even a complete rifle could not be found in the custody. However, pay attention to the search for wounded Soviet soldiers and tell Chang  Kai, when cleaning the battlefield, if the defeated Soviet troops dare to resist, kill them immediately without mercy. This third army will burn and kill them all the way from the moment they enter eastern Outer Mongolia."

    ¡°The hands of every Soviet soldier are stained with the blood of the ancient people of Outer Mongolia.Blood, according to my temper, I don¡¯t want any prisoners. Hey, forget it, he is not a little devil after all. Let Chang Kai interrogate the prisoners and kill all the people along the Soviet army¡¯s marching route. Who gave the order?  "

    The more than 30,000 troops of the two brigades in the East Point, with murderous intent and the power of victory, surged across the Urez River like a raging tide, joined the battlefield, and launched a fierce attack on the Soviet army on the east bank.

    Under the onslaught of six brigades on the left and right flanks of the East Command troops, the three Soviet armies, which were already on the defensive, immediately felt tremendous pressure. The defensive circle was repeatedly compressed, and the density of soldiers began to increase. In this way  , a shell from the East Point Artillery fell, and the killing effect on the Soviet soldiers increased several times.

    Seeing the casualties of the troops increasing, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko was extremely worried. What he was most worried about was not the casualties of the troops. There would be no casualties in a war. What he was worried about was that once he was restrained by the independent division troops, he would not be able to fight.  Fortunately, at this time, I received an order from the General Staff, accepted my suggestion, and approved the troops to immediately get rid of the attack of the Independent Division and return to the Waixing'an Mountains along the same route.

    The order of the General Staff also specifically emphasized, "On the battlefields of Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan in northern Outer Mongolia, the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region who were surrounded by the independent division troops are a lesson from the past. Your troops must retreat quickly and do not use them."  The troops are surrounded by the independent division troops. The specific method of retreat can be determined by Lieutenant General Yemenchenko based on the situation on the battlefield. The general principle is to ensure that the troops do not suffer greater losses! "

    In fact, ever since he learned that the Third Army was ambushed by the Independent Division on the west bank of the Urez River and was unable to escape, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko had already begun to think about retreating and had no intention of fighting anymore.  , otherwise, the telegram requesting to retreat along the original route would not have been sent to the United Front Work Department.

    Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, who has been in the army for many years, knows very well that the Third Army may not be able to come back. The pressure caused by the independent divisions attacking from the left and right wings is already great enough. Once the entire Third Army is  After being destroyed, the freed-up independent division troops will attack from the west bank of the Urez River and deal a fatal blow to themselves. Although it cannot be said to be a crushing defeat, it is not easy to escape smoothly!

    No matter how worried you are, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko was giving the retreat order to the fighting troops when he received a report from the Fourth Army ahead. The temporary position of the army was attacked from the west bank of the Urez River.  The fierce attack of the Independent Division may be unsustainable. I request the comrade commander to allow the Fourth Army to retreat and get closer to the brigade to avoid being separated by the troops of the Independent Division.

    Lieutenant General Yemenchenko knew as soon as he heard the report that the Third Army was completely finished. The battle had reached this level, and he was not sure whether he could successfully escape from the battlefield. He didn't know how it happened. As soon as the battle started  , his own troops fell into an extremely passive state. The sudden attack of the independent division's fierce artillery fire disrupted the formation and formation of the troops. From the first sound of artillery to the present, hundreds of thousands of troops are in a state of disorder.  , resisting the attack of the independent division troops.

    If it were a face-to-face offensive battle or a positional battle, he would not feel so aggrieved. Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko was confident that with four armies of more than 100,000 troops and weapons and equipment not bad, plus his own  With command experience, it would not be a problem to fight with the independent division troops for a week and then escape safely. But what is going on now? The Chinese have long been ambushing in this area, catching themselves by surprise.

    But in any case, it was still the rule to leave the battlefield. The Soviet army began to retreat. Although it was chaotic, it did not completely lose its order. Each unit took turns to cover and moved while fighting. Although it was a little embarrassed, it finally moved.

    "Report to the deputy division commander. The troops on both wings reported that the Soviet army has begun to retreat. Our troops are intercepting along the way. The brigade commanders asked for instructions whether to attack across the board and keep the Soviet army here?" A captain staff officer reported to Liu Tiehan.

    Liu Tiehan smiled coldly and said: "Understood, call back to each unit commander and wait for orders. During this period, use artillery fire to slow down the Soviet army's retreat as much as possible!"

    Then, Li Guangjin, who was next to him, said: "Guangjin, send a telegram to the division commander. The division pointed out that the battle on the west bank of the Urez River is over, the Soviet Third Army has been completely wiped out, and the main force of the Soviet army on the east bank has begun to retreat. We  I plan to command the troops to conduct a long-distance pursuit. Please let me know if this is appropriate!¡±

    Li Guangjin's eyes widened in surprise and he said anxiously: "Deputy Commander, did you really order the troops to pursue them all the way to the outer Xing'an Mountains? Although the Soviet army retreated, its main force is still there, and its strength is comparable to ours. Once it becomes a trapped beast,  Fight, the battle cannot end quickly, the variables involved are unpredictable, please think twice, deputy commander!"

    Liu Tiehan laughed proudly and said: "Guangjin, remember, if you take advantage, you are a fool. The Soviet army is now eager to get rid of our attack and wants to leave. It has neither the intention to fight nor the intention to fight."Force, our opponent has already fled. The military strategy says, don't chase the poor enemy, but I insist on holding on and beating the drowned dog!  "
