Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From the current situation on the battlefield and from the perspective of expanding the results of the war, Liu Hongzhang's decision was not a big mistake.  High-quality updates are here

    The first wave of Soviet attacks had been completely crushed. About two-thirds of the armored cluster used for the assault had been destroyed, and the rest had been withdrawn. At this time, the 1st and 2nd brigades launched a full-line counterattack.  , it can indeed achieve very good results, and can push the Soviet army back more than ten kilometers.

    It is very effective in evacuating the first line of defense. At the very least, there is no need to worry about being followed by the Soviet army. Moreover, Liu Hongzhang saw clearly that the Soviet army did not have the weakness of artillery, so he dared to focus on counterattack.

    Seeing that Liu Chenglin, the chief of staff who had been with him for many years, was desperately trying to stop him from giving the order to the troops to counterattack. Seeing the Soviet army retreating and the fighter opportunity fleeting, Liu Hongzhang became really red-eyed. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Liu Chenglin's gun.  On the forehead, he shouted fiercely: "Liu Chenglin, are you going to get out of the way or not?"

    Liu Hongzhang's finger slid on the trigger twice, but he did not fire. His face was livid, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times. He withdrew the pistol and shouted to a group of staff officers at the brigade headquarters: "It's all wood.  ! Get him away quickly and put him in confinement. I will deal with him after this battle is over!"

    Liu Chenglin refused to leave the phone, cocked his neck, and shouted with unwavering eyes: "Brigadier Commander, your order is wrong! The lives of more than 10,000 brothers are in your hands. Please think twice."  !¡±

    The staff officers and correspondents were all dumbfounded. The brigade commander and chief of staff were quarreling to the point of using guns. This was the first time this happened in the first brigade. Seeing the two giants red-eyed, they were at a loss. They looked at each other and wanted to step forward.  , but the chief of staff blushed.  Without stepping forward, the brigade commander was like a furious lion. He was really in a dilemma, not knowing what to do?

    "Ding-ding-ding¡ª¡ª!" A rapid ringing of the phone broke the deadlock. Liu Hongzhang glared at Liu Chenglin fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "I'll settle the score with you later!" while angrily picking up the phone.

    Except for the indecisive Ouyang Yishan, no one else would call at this time, and it would definitely be to tease him.  High-quality updates are just talking about some nonsense that is too risky and goes against the master's orders. He doesn't want to be beaten, so he won't let me beat him. "If you have something to say, you have to say fart! What's the matter? Without your second brigade, I will be the first."  Brigade. Fight back as usual!" Liu Hongzhang said with impatience in his tone.

    Suddenly.  A roar like thunder.  It came from the phone, "Liu Hongzhang, you are so cowardly! You still want to fight back? You are underestimating your capabilities and immediately hand over the command to Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin. Get back to the division headquarters!"

    "Teacher!" Liu Hongzhang jumped in fright, with sweat on his forehead.  He appeared immediately and stammered: "Teacher Commander, I!"

    Tang Qiuli continued to roar, "What am I! Your position as brigade commander has been dismissed. Let Liu Chenglin take the call!"

    Liu Hongzhang was as wilted as an eggplant beaten by frost. He pouted at Liu Chenglin, who was looking at him intently, and said: "Cheng Lin, the teacher is looking for you!" After saying that, he completely forgot that he had just spoken.  Holding a pistol to someone's head is a wink and an eye-opener.

    Liu Chenglin grinned and took the call, "Commander, I am Liu Chenglin, Chief of Staff of the First Brigade. What instructions do you have?"

    "Liu Chenglin, I now appoint you as the acting brigade commander of the first brigade. You will immediately get in touch with the friendly neighbor Ouyang Yishan, the commander of the second brigade, and take advantage of the opportunity when the Soviet attack is repelled to immediately withdraw to the second line.  Defense line! Hurry!" Tang Qiuli said in a stern tone.

    Liu Chenglin stood at attention and said loudly: "Yes! Commander, the First Brigade will resolutely implement your order, but I have an opinion!"

    "Say!" Tang Qiuli's attitude was even simpler.

    Liu Chenglin said cautiously: "Commander, please retain the position of Brigadier Liu. He is also eager to kill the enemy. After all, he has not had time to implement it. Besides, my ability is not enough to command the first brigade!"

    Tang Qiuli was angry, "Liu Chenglin, don't bargain with my mother-in-law and mother-in-law! If you can't bear this burden, I will send someone else. If the first brigade is missing Liu Hongzhang, it will still be unable to fight? Withdraw the troops first!"  Let Liu Hongzhang come to the teacher's office immediately!"

    "Bah!" Before Liu Chenglin could react, Tang Qiuli put down the phone.  High quality updates

    Liu Chenglin didn't care much and hurriedly contacted Ouyang Yishan, and then issued an order for the troops to immediately withdraw to the second line of defense.

    After finishing all this, Liu Chenglin looked at Liu Hongzhang who was circling back and forth with a grimace and said: "Brigadier Commander, the division commander personally issued an order for you to go to the division headquarters. Don't worry, the troops will withdraw immediately!  When you get to the teacher, just admit your mistake. You will listen to what the teacher says, and he will alsoWhen you are angry, never talk back to your teacher!  Our first brigade is still waiting for your command!  "

    The tone was full of worry and persuasion. The two had known each other very well for many years as old brothers and friends. They worked together to run the first brigade, experienced almost all the battles of the independent division, and turned the army into a well-known number one main brigade.  There was no trace of estrangement, alienation, or jealousy because of the dispute just now, or because of selfish interests. The words were full of sincere emotions.

    Liu Hongzhang said distressedly: "Cheng Lin, am I wrong? Taking advantage of the good opportunity to kill more of Lao Maozi's troops is not considered a mistake?"

    Liu Chenglin moved his lips, not knowing what to say. Liu Hongzhang sighed and said: "Forget it, Chenglin, lead the troops. Maybe, once I leave, I won't be able to come back in a short time."  , I can rest assured that the troops are in your hands!" After that, he walked out of the headquarters with a few guards and disappeared into the night.

    In the thick of night, the 1st and 2nd brigades of the Directly Affiliated Corps quickly evacuated the first line of defense while the Soviet army did not organize another attack.

    On the opposite side of the position, just when Liu Hongzhang was about to launch a desperate counterattack, Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, commander of the 43rd Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, was adjusting his deployment. After the first attack was repelled, several  Hundreds of tanks turned into piles of scrap metal, and he didn't feel surprised or annoyed at all.

    Carelessly, the commander of the offensive unit did not pay attention to the independent division troops on the opposite side. He still followed the conventional fighting style. It was inevitable to suffer losses. Moreover, the opponent had secret anti-tank weapons, which was unexpected.  , but that¡¯s it.

    "Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately order the troops to organize a second attack. All troops must be deployed to carry out continuous, wave-like attacks. Repulsed troops should be replaced with new troops to maintain the continuity of the attack and fully  Take advantage of our strength, and in addition, order the artillery units that are lagging behind, no matter what specific difficulties there are, to have a division of artillery arrive at the front line in two hours!" Lieutenant General Myanov was very organized!  commanded.

    After conveying the order, Major General Khabarovsky, the chief of staff of the group army, reminded: "Comrade Commander, should we report the situation in Minusinsk to the front army headquarters? After all, the independent division troops here are not like this.  According to the intelligence, it is a small force, but two divisions with quite powerful combat capabilities and well-equipped equipment!¡±

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov shook his head and said: "Comrade Khabarovsky, we are a group army, and the enemy only has two divisions, which is not enough to affect our mission of occupying Minusinsk.  Don¡¯t interfere with the command of the front army headquarters!¡±

    More than twenty minutes later, Soviet soldiers all over the mountains and plains, under the cover of tanks, flooded towards the first line of defense of the Independent Division. This time, the Soviet tank troops became smarter and lined up in three lines.  Horizontal lines, the distance between horizontal lines is no more than 500 meters, and tank artillery fire cross-covers. Once the tanks in the first row are attacked by anti-tank weapons of the independent division, the tanks in the second and third rows will immediately lock fire.  To destroy.

    The first row of Soviet tanks continued to bombard, pouring shells onto the position. The low-trajectory shells swept across the field, exploding into clouds of fire and huge explosions that echoed in the night sky.  In the middle, the tanks in the second and third rows remained silent, like steel monsters taking advantage of the cover of the night.

    The Soviet soldiers shouted, the tanks roared, and rushed to the independent division position. There was neither a dense rain of bullets nor flying artillery shells. There was no one on the position. The Soviet soldiers who were exerting their strength were like a punch.  It's the same as being in the air, unspeakably uncomfortable.

    "Comrade Commander, the frontline commander reported that our offensive troops have completely occupied the position of the independent division!" Major General Khabarovsky put down the phone and reported to Commander Bamiyanov.

    "Oh!" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov couldn't help but twitching his pale yellow eyebrows a few times, and asked rather strangely: "The attack was launched less than thirty minutes ago. How come the battle is over so quickly? Is it possible?  Prisoner? Bring him to the army headquarters and I will interrogate him personally!"

    Chief of Staff Khabarovsky swallowed and replied: "Comrade Commander, the commander of the forward forces reported that the independent division troops abandoned their positions and retreated. We did not go through any battles, nor did we suffer any attacks.  Of course, there are no prisoners to take!¡±

    After a pause, he continued: "The commander of the frontline troops asked for instructions, should we immediately advance in the direction of Minusinsk? Or, should we consolidate the positions we have occupied to prevent the counterattack of the independent division troops?"

    Hearing what Chief of Staff Khabarovsky said, Lieutenant General Bamiyanov was stunned. He had an incredible feeling that the Chinese were doing something.What the hell?  The fight started with great vigor, but why did they give up their position just after one round?  Did the Chinese run away?

    However, this is also a troublesome matter. It is best for the Chinese not to be broken into pieces. If the independent division troops stick to their positions in the wild, I am confident that by daybreak, they can annihilate all these Chinese here.  , "Run away! There's a bit of trouble!" he thought to himself.
