Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov was so angry with those words after Major General Khabarovsky, Chief of Staff of the Group Army, what kind of brains are they talking about?

    He said unceremoniously: "Counterattack? They can't figure it out. Are they scared by the sudden attack by the Chinese and those inexplicable anti-tank weapons? By abandoning the existing positions, the independent division troops have already lost  The biggest reliance is the strength of two divisions to counterattack our army with hundreds of thousands of troops. The Chinese are not so stupid, are they not afraid of being entangled by our hundreds of thousands of troops? "

    "If they can hold on for a while by virtue of their position, now, there is no such chance. From this, it can be judged that this is not an elite force of an independent division at all. Otherwise, there is no reason to abandon the position and retreat. The Chinese  His intention was nothing more than to shrink the troops back to the city and use the city's complex terrain conditions to fight a street battle with us. As he wished, he ordered the troops not to stay and to go to Minusinsk as quickly as possible.  Head towards the attack!"

    Minusinsk was shrouded in darkness. There were no lights in the city. Only the independent division headquarters, which was blocked by thick blankets, was brightly lit. Staff officers and correspondents were moving in and out very quickly. The radio station  The "ticking" sounds in the room all indicate the tense atmosphere of an imminent war.

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and said, "Division Commander, the first and second brigades reported that they are on their way to the second line of defense. There is no Soviet army to pursue them. However, the Soviet army has occupied the first line of defense.  It is advancing quickly towards our second line of defense. It seems that the Soviet commander has judged that we cannot withstand the pressure of its attack and are forced to abandon our position!" he analyzed.

    Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Even if we are arrogant soldiers, we are also tired soldiers. Another point is that Lieutenant General Bamiyanov judged that we have the intention to retreat to the city and engage in street fighting. If we want to advance quickly, we will not give up.  When we prepare for the opportunity, we order the four brigades on the second line of defense to use all their resources to deal the most severe blow to the Soviet army! When we reach the second line of defense, we are not afraid of the Soviet army getting out of the pocket!"

    Looking at his watch, Tang Qiuli asked again: "Yu He. Have the troops that dealt with the Soviet artillery arrived at the offensive area? Have the troops on both sides of the roundabout been deployed?"

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Twenty minutes ago, I received a report from Qu Zhennian, Chief of Staff of the Third Brigade, that the troops of the four regiments have formed an attack posture on the periphery of the Soviet artillery. They are waiting for the order from the division commander to move around on both wings.  The troops have all reached their designated positions and deployed according to the deployment, and are also waiting for orders from the division commander!"

    "Okay!" Tang Qiuli smiled with satisfaction.  Said: "Order Qu Zhennian to start attacking immediately. The troops on both sides of the circle continue to wait for orders. The Soviet army has not yet penetrated into the pocket. After the second line of defense is launched, it will not be too late to attack again!"

    "Yes, division commander, I will convey the order to the troops immediately!" Zhao Yuhe had just finished speaking, but before he could turn around, a report came from outside the door, "Report to the division commander, Liu Hongzhang, commander of the first brigade, came to the front after being ordered to  Come, please give me instructions, Commander!" His voice was quite loud and full of energy, with special emphasis on the word "frontline", and it also implied that he was not convinced. It was estimated that all the officers in the headquarters could hear it.

    Tang Qiuli's face immediately darkened, "Liu Hongzhang, what a great momentum! - Come to my demonstration!" He said in a nonchalant manner.

    Turning around, he raised his voice and shouted: "Liu Hongzhang - come in!"

    Zhao Yuhe hesitated for a moment. Looking at the division commander's face, he looked very unkind. His eyebrows were raised. He was afraid that Liu Hongzhang would be unlucky. Maybe the brigade commander's position might be withdrawn by the division commander. Should he stay here?  , if necessary, come forward to correct it?

    Tang Qiuli saw what Zhao Yuhe meant, waved his hand and said, "Yuhe, go about your business!"

    Zhao Yuhe pushed the door open and walked out. He saw Liu Hongzhang fully armed, with his head held high and his chest held high, standing majestically at the door. He looked unconvinced and winked at him anxiously. Seeing the expression of the chief of staff, Liu Hongzhang knew it.  , the teacher was in the middle of the fire, and most of the energy in his heart was vented first!

    "Sir, I'm here, what instructions do you have?" After Liu Hongzhang saluted politely, he said in an octave lower tone, and then looked at Tang Qiuli furtively.

    Tang Qiuli didn't even raise his head. He looked at the telegram in his hand as if the person was not in front of him.

    The sweat on Liu Hongzhang's forehead started to drop at that time. He knew his teacher's temper. The more indifferent he was, the more angry he felt in his heart!

    After a few minutes, Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand and glanced at Liu Hongzhang sharply. Liu Hongzhang's heart became even more excited!

    "Why, I can't let you teach me without instructions?" Tang Qiuli's tone was as calm as boiled water.Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "I was fighting well on the front line, but I was transferred back with just one phone call and asked to hand over the command. How could I follow this? The fighting was fierce in front, and the old man was chasing me."  Heels are coming up, but he is wasting his time by going back and forth!"

    "Commander, if nothing happens to you, I will go back to the army. More than 10,000 people are still waiting for my command!" Liu Hongzhang did not dare to lose his temper, but there was a trace of anger in his tone.

    Tang Qiuli raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Without your command, Liu Hongzhang, the First Brigade will not be able to fight? In my opinion, it will fight better without you. At the very least, the soldiers will not make unnecessary sacrifices."  !¡±

    Liu Hongzhang's anger could no longer be suppressed. He glared, looked at Tang Qiuli without mercy, and said angrily: "Commander, I know that you are dissatisfied with me ordering the troops to counterattack, but that is based on  It is determined by the actual situation on the battlefield. In all these years, I, Liu Hongzhang, have never fought a battle that I was not sure of!"

    "On the Selenge River, in the face of the Soviet army's several times greater strength, our First Brigade held on for seven days and seven nights. I won't say much about the results. Commander, you know it well. The subsequent pursuit and annihilation battles were not the same as those of the Soviet army.  If we don¡¯t fight each other, I¡¯ve figured out their tricks a long time ago, it¡¯s not a big deal!¡±

    "Commander, I, Liu Hongzhang, am a rough man and I don't know how to talk in a roundabout way. If you don't let our first brigade take advantage of the situation to counterattack, it will be a waste of opportunity and a blind command without understanding the situation. Even if you transfer me here again."  , I will serve as your staff, and I also want to say that your order was wrong! The First Brigade missed a good opportunity to hit Lao Maozi hard!"

    "Huh-huh-huh-!" Tang Qiuli sneered a few times and said: "Now, I don't have time to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong. Transfer me here to serve as my staff. I can't keep a talent like you by my side.  !" His tone was indescribably cold, which made Liu Hongzhang tense up, feeling that something was wrong.

    However, the division commander's next words made Liu Hongzhang almost faint, "Liu Hongzhang, I am announcing your new appointment. The field hospital of the division's logistics department is short of a deputy director. You should report to the logistics department immediately and take up your post!"  If you are not satisfied, there is another position. The Third Logistics Regiment of the Division is short of a deputy battalion commander. You can choose one of the two positions. You decide which place to go to? "

    Liu Hongzhang was sweating profusely. The little anger he had just mustered up had been suppressed by the teacher's words, and he was begging profusely: "Sir, I was wrong. Let me go back to the first brigade.  Just give me a company commander. Look at me, I'm clumsy. If you go to the field hospital, it's almost like killing me. If you go to the logistics unit, with my temper, I'm not the type to do that. Division commander, please?  reconsider!"

    At this time, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe pushed open the door and came in. With a glance, he saw Liu Hongzhang sweating profusely and Tang Qiuli's eyes showing anger, and he roughly guessed what happened.

    When Liu Hongzhang saw Zhao Yuhe come in, he felt as if he was seeing a savior and said hurriedly: "Chief of Staff, tell the division commander, isn't this a troublesome thing? He asked me to be the deputy director of the field hospital, and also asked me to work as a transporter.  What kind of deputy battalion commander is this?¡±

    Just as Zhao Yuhe was about to speak, Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop him and said, "Chief of Staff, ask Director Ge of the General Staff Department to come over!"

    After a while, Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the staff office, came to the office. Seeing the atmosphere in the room, which was a bit strange, he quickly turned his questioning eyes to his immediate boss, Zhao Yuhe. Zhao Yuhe shook his head slightly.

    Tang Qiuli spoke, "Director Ge, your staff office has arranged for a staff officer to send Major General Liu Hongzhang to the Second Battalion of the Third Logistics Regiment of the Logistics Department with a letter of appointment from the division commander to serve as the deputy battalion commander. Special emphasis:  Take office immediately!¡±

    Ge Zhenzhuang was stunned, what?  Major general, battalion commander, and deputy!  This was my first job in the independent division. When I saw the division commander's face, he stood up to attention and said, "Yes! Division commander, the chief of staff will execute the order immediately!" Then, he pulled Liu Hongzhang's sleeve.  .

    Liu Hongzhang gave a feeble salute and said like a frost-beaten eggplant: "Follow the division commander's order and report to the Third Supply Regiment immediately!" Then the two of them went out.

    Looking at Liu Hongzhang's dejected back, Zhao Yuhe said worriedly: "Commander, is it too serious to deal with Brigadier Liu like this? He is a fierce general! Will he be ruined by this?"

    "What's more, the first brigade is on the second line of defense, blocking the attack of several times more Soviet troops. The commander of the forward troops just reported that the Soviet attack is very fierce. When the troops are in urgent need of recruits, can Brigadier Liu be temporarily substituted?  Regarding the post of brigade commander, after this battle is over, I¡¯m afraid Liu Chenglin, the chief of staff of the first brigade, will not be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility!¡±

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I have considered it comprehensively. What we are fighting now is a positional blocking battle. The first brigade is not responsible for it alone. Are there other three brigades? Liu Chenglin can master it.The troops, Yu He, and Liu Hongzhang fought so smoothly without suffering any big losses, but they developed the bad habit of being the best in the world. This time, if Ouyang Yishan hadn't called in time, the first brigade might have been destroyed.  In the battle just now.  "

    "It's good to let him calm down, otherwise, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Yuhe, how is the battle on the second line of defense going?"
