Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Yuhe held two telegrams in his hand and said as soon as he came in: "Commander, please do not send out the Ulan Guben battle plan, the battlefield situation has changed!"

    Tang Qiuli stood up suddenly and asked hurriedly: "Yuhe, please tell me in detail, what have been the changes?"

    Zhao Yuhe took a breath and said: "I just received two urgent telegrams. One was sent back by our reconnaissance force in Minusinsk. The Soviet troops of the five armies, after crossing the Ural Mountains, were originally advancing in the direction.  We are here, but at about 6 o'clock this morning, four of the Soviet troops of the group army suddenly turned around and turned south. Looking at their marching route, it was in the direction of Ulan Guben."

    "There is only one Soviet army group, which continues to move towards Minusinsk according to its original marching direction. It is designated as the 43rd Army Group of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front. It has a strength of about 160,000 people, including  Three tank divisions, three artillery divisions."

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli's brows furrowed into a big knot, "What's the content of the other telegram?" he asked in a deep voice.

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "It was just sent by the Ulan Guben Campaign Command. Their reconnaissance troops on the Tangnu Mountains discovered that the leading Soviet troops of the four armies were not as expected as we expected."  In that way, they continued to pursue, but after crossing the Tangnu Mountains, they rested on the spot. At around 6 o'clock this morning, most of the Soviet main force also left the Tangnu Mountains.  The distance between the Soviet troops was no more than thirty kilometers, and more than one million Soviet troops were all pressing in the direction of Ulan Guben. "

    Tang Qiuli remained silent and walked to the military map of Outer Mongolia. He stared at Ulan Guben and Minusinsk and began to think nervously. After a long time, without saying a word, Zhao Yuhe waited.  I felt anxious all the time.

    Tang Qiuli turned around slowly, his brows still not relaxed, and asked: "Yuhe, have the reconnaissance troops in the direction of Wulan Guben reported the current advancing speed of the Soviet army?"

    Zhao Yuhe simply replied: "Yes, based on the Soviet army's current marching speed per hour, it is about forty kilometers per day, which is not very fast!"

    "What is the distance from Tangnu Mountains to Ulanguben?" Tang Qiuli continued to ask.

    "The distance is more than 120 kilometers, but the road conditions are very poor, which greatly limits the advancement speed of the Soviet mechanized troops. Otherwise, the Soviet army only needs one and a half to two days to reach Ulan.  Strengthen the foundation." Zhao Yuhe replied accurately.

    "How long will it take for the Soviet 43rd Army to approach our first line of defense outside Minusinsk?"

    "According to the report of the reconnaissance force, and based on the current marching speed of the Soviet army, we can arrive tomorrow, that is, around the afternoon or evening of the 18th!"

    "With a force of 150,000, we will be in Wulanguben tomorrow afternoon or evening. In three days, that is, around the 21st, four armies will go south with the intention of encircling them." After the two people had a quick question and answer, Tang Qiuli said  He no longer asked questions, but muttered to himself, muttering something irrelevant, which made Zhao Yuhe confused.

    Suddenly, a light flashed in Tang Qiuli's eyes, he hit the table with his palm and said, "Yu He, that Soviet 43rd Army Group, I'm sure to defeat him!"

    "You see, the main force of the Soviet army south of Vasilevsky is advancing slowly. More than one million troops are closely packed together. They don't want to give us the chance to ambush again. Moreover, the ambush battle in the Tangnu Mountains  , which led him to misjudge and mistakenly believe that our main force had taken advantage and then withdrew to Ulanguben. The troops in Minusinsk were just a trick to deceive the enemy. Moreover, according to the Soviet offensive route on the southern route,  , Ulan Guben is the first target to be captured.¡±

    "Vasilevsky judged that I must defend this place to the death. The reason why he was not in a hurry to advance was because he was afraid of scaring us away. He wanted to encircle our main force in Ulanguben. He had a good plan and originally attacked Minusin.  Four of the five Soviet armies in Sksk turned around and headed in the direction of Ulan Guben. This was the intention. "

    "Hmph." Tang Qiuli sneered and continued: "In his opinion, Minusinsk is just an empty city. Well, Vasilevsky adjusted his deployment and showed a big appetite, but he created something for us.  With the fighter plane, the 43rd Army is the meat that comes to your doorstep!"

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s eyes lit up and he said: ¡°Division commander, are you planning to encircle and annihilate the headquarters of the 43rd Soviet Army Group around Minusinsk?¡±

    Tang Qiuli laughed, "Why not? I have the advantage in strength, 230,000 to 160,000, and I am waiting for work. This battle can be fought, and this battle must be fought!"

    Tang Qiuli's eyes turned cold and he said: "Yuhe, order the Wulan Guben Campaign Headquarters toThe original battle plan was cancelled, and fortifications were built with great fanfare around Ulan Guben. Then, everyone must evacuate the area on the night of March 20th. During the retreat, the distance from the Soviet army must not be less than 100 kilometers.  , the transfer destination is Cullen.  "

    "Tell Xiao Jinshan, Fang Yuanshan, Ren Zhaoquan and Chen Han that I will kill anyone who dares to be greedy for power and delay the retreat! Also, order Wulan Guben's reconnaissance troops to closely monitor the Soviet advance speed. Every three  Within an hour, the location of the Soviet troops must be reported to the division commander!¡±

    "Order the 1st and 2nd brigades on the first line of defense outside Minusinsk to immediately withdraw to the second line of defense after engaging the Soviet vanguard and repelling the first attack, and order the second line of defense to  The third and fourth brigades of the defense line immediately detoured to the Soviet left flank and were on standby in the Balekcha area. The fifth and sixth brigades of the third defense line immediately detoured to the Soviet right wing and were on standby in the Iniya area.  The area is on standby.

    "The 7th and 8th brigades of the campaign reserve team marched to the second line of defense. Together with the 1st and 2nd brigades, they blocked the Soviet army head-on. After each unit arrived at the designated position, they stayed in hiding and waited for further instructions from the division.  Order to encircle the Soviet army."

    At this point, Zhao Yuhe fully understood the division commander's campaign intention, which was to set up a big pocket for the Soviet 43rd Army outside Minusinsk. After the first and second brigades engaged in the battle, they would immediately retreat.  , which is to lure the enemy deeper and let the Soviet army dig deeper into the pocket.

    After he quickly repeated the order, he immediately rushed to the radio room and issued the order to the various troops.

    Tang Qiuli stood motionless in the center of the room, going through all the plans in his mind again. He felt that there were no loopholes and felt relaxed.

    Unexpectedly, with the Soviet army pressing down on the border, a favorable situation emerged on the local battlefield. A group of Soviet troops arrived at the door. This battle was fought with a time difference. Within two days,  The Soviet 43rd Army must be eliminated. It cannot be completely wiped out, but must be severely damaged. Even if the Soviet troops from the four armies that march south to Ulanguben return to support, they will not be able to make it in time. I will have at least one day to withdraw from the battlefield.  .

    Ulangu was originally a big bait, attracting almost all the troops of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front. After the Minusinsk battle ended, Vasilevsky would immediately judge that the real main force of the force reading division was still there.  In this direction, if nothing unexpected happens, all the Soviet troops will definitely rush in, one to rescue the 43rd Army, and the other to encircle the main force of the Reading Division in this area.

    As a result, the Soviet army's capture of Kulun will inevitably be delayed and the battle plan will be disrupted. More than one million Soviet troops will be exhausted. The next days will be much easier for him. Tang Qiuli is in a good mood.  , smelling the smell of melting snow outside the window, I feel unusually sweet.

    The crushing wheel of more than four million Soviet troops inadvertently changed its angle, and the light of opportunity reflected in it was keenly captured by Tang Qiuli. He originally planned to command the troops and fight under the heavy pressure of the Soviet troops.  Next, Tang Qiuli tried his best to avoid head-on collisions and brought Mao Mao's guerrilla warfare to its extreme. Tang Qiuli finally had the capital and opportunity to break a finger of millions of Soviet soldiers instead of just slightly injuring him.

    One day later, the leading troops of the 43rd Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front finally arrived outside Minusinsk. Standing on a hill, the Army Commander Lieutenant General Bamyanlov put down his telescope and looked at the foot of the mountain.  , it is a marching scene with rolling traffic, roaring armor, and surging infantry queues. It stirs up dust all over the sky. It is really a momentum of indomitable progress.

    Only Lieutenant General Bamyanlov knew the difficulties and hardships his army encountered when crossing the Ural Mountains. Damn floods, muddy roads, winding mountain roads with no end in sight, and newly repaired roads.  After escaping the trap of trucks and tanks, almost all the soldiers joined the push of the trucks. This seemingly powerful force was actually exhausted.

    It stands to reason that after crossing the Ural Mountains, the troops must rest for at least two days in order to restore the physical strength of the soldiers and wait for the artillery troops that fell behind and the baggage troops carrying logistics supplies. Unfortunately, the front army headquarters sent several letters a day.  The telegram urged the troops to march day and night, heading straight for Minusinsk. Although the five army groups marched together, only one of their own was left.

    But Lieutenant General Bamiyanov did not feel that he was alone. He believed in the intelligence of the front army intelligence department. All the troops of the Chinese Tang Qiuli were on the southern line of the Tangnu Mountains, with the Huaxi Army.  The main force of General Vsky was in a fight, and around Minusinsk, only a sporadic small force of the Reading Division and local garrison troops were left.

    ¡°There is no suspense in capturing Minusinsk. Perhaps, those Chinese had already fled before the troops arrived.¡±"Well, with hundreds of thousands of troops attacking a city with almost no military defense, to be precise, it shouldn't be called a capture, it might be more appropriate to call it a reception," Lieutenant General Bamiyanov thought to himself.
