Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the battlefield where a fierce battle is ongoing, it is a taboo for military strategists to temporarily adjust their deployment. Not only will the original deployment be disrupted, it will also easily cause confusion in one's own troops and give the enemy an opportunity. Generally speaking,  No commander would dare to do this or want to do this!

    What he was most worried about was that the unscathed Soviet troops would turn around and bite him. During the subsequent retreat, they would be beaten away. But he did not have time to play like this with tens of thousands of Soviet troops. Later,  Following more than one million Soviet troops like wolves and tigers, Tang Qiuli's move was definitely a last resort!

    However, Tang Qiuli knew his own troops. The direct-affiliated corps was an old foundation unit that started as an independent division. It had experienced many storms and waves, not to mention that it was still in the midst of a counterattack with great momentum.

    The order was quickly issued to all the troops. There was no confusion in the brigades. They gathered up the troops who were fighting vigorously and pursued them in the direction of the Soviet First Army's retreat, while staying to encircle and annihilate the frontal assault of the Soviet Third Army.  The two brigades of the army, with almost equal strength as the Soviet army, began to eat up the Soviet troops in the encirclement one by one, and they fought in an orderly manner.

    On the contrary, there were only two brigades of troops left on the left and right wings, and the pressure increased sharply. Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Brigade on the left, and Qian Jiaxing, commander of the 6th Brigade on the right, immediately changed their tactics and ordered  The troops switched from offense to defense. The soldiers dug fortifications on the battlefield where bullets were flying. Within a short time, a simple trench was built in front of the Soviet army.

    This ability to quickly switch between offense and defense fully reflects the command ability of the officers directly under the corps and the tactical literacy of the soldiers.  The trenches had just been formed, and the Soviet Second Army felt hungry and pressured.  As if they were shot, they seized the opportunity, took a desperate stance, and broke through on both wings. The positions of the 4th and 6th brigades were squeezed to the point of shaking, but it was just such a line of defense.  The repetition was like a spring full of elasticity, bouncing back the Soviet attacks again and again.

    In the gap between the Soviet troops desperately attacking the two wings, the 1st and 2nd brigades directly under the corps, as well as the 3rd tank brigade, passed through the battlefield like a whirlwind, towards the retreating Soviet 1st Army.  and the 43rd Army Headquarters.  Chase after him fiercely.

    The entire outer battlefield of Minusinsk is divided into three parts. We are among the enemies, there are enemies among us, the 7th and 8th brigades are fighting frontally, and the 6th tank brigade.  Divide, encircle and annihilate the remaining troops of the Soviet Third Army.

    The 4th and 6th brigades on the left and right wings desperately blocked the Soviet Second Army, which wanted to break through. The 1st and 2nd brigades, the 3rd and 5th brigades drawn from the left and right wings, and the 3rd tank brigade  .  Following the retreating Soviet First Army, the 4th and 5th Tank Brigades.  Leave the battlefield and reinforce the troops on the left and right flanks.

    "If the movement routes of the Soviet army and the units directly under the corps were marked in red and blue colors on the combat map, the combat staff would definitely be dazzled and unable to start.

    Because, on the combat map, the red and blue lines were tangled together like a mess, overlapping in many places. However, in the mind of division commander Tang Qiuli, the entire battlefield was as clear as a three-dimensional one.  Picture, the key to the battle lies in whether Chu Ziye's 4th Brigade and Qian Jiaxing's 6th Brigade can hold back the Soviet Second Army. As long as the 7th and 8th Brigades are free, the rest will be done.  , it¡¯s solved.

    Tang Qiuli stood silently in front of the map for a while and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order the 7th Brigade Commander Wang Zhanqun and the 8th Brigade Commander Qiao Manshan to eliminate them before four in the morning.  The part of the Soviet army that was divided and surrounded, and then immediately reinforced the 4th and 6th brigades! "

    Zhao Yuhe reminded: "Commander, it is now 1:10 in the morning, and there are less than three hours until 4 in the morning. Isn't it too tight? After all, how many people are the 7th and 8th brigades facing?  Wan Sujun, it will take time to solve it!¡±

    Tang Qiuli said coldly: "The fourth and sixth brigades are under greater pressure and need more time!"

    On the fourth brigade position on the left wing, brigade commander Chu Ziye was lying in the trench, staring at the piles of Soviet soldiers coming up. He held a phone in his hand and cursed, "Damn it! If it weren't for me,  The heavy artillery regiment stayed in Minusinsk, and if Lao Maozi dared to attack wave after wave, we would have been blown up to the sky by now!"

    After scolding, Chu Ziye did not hesitate at all. Without heavy artillery, he used mortars. The fourth brigade concentrated hundreds of mortars in the entire brigade on the forward position. Chu Ziye gave the order  , the artillery shells flew across the sky, blasting a three-dimensional wall of fire on the charging route of the Soviet soldiers. Then, they used light and heavy machine guns and more than 10,000 submachine guns to beat the Soviet soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the artillery fire until they were covered in blood.  Sieve eyes!

    Relying on simple fortifications, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and submachine gun firepower, the Soviet attacks were repelled time and time again.In front of the ground, the corpses of Soviet soldiers fell layer by layer on the cold snow. However, the Fourth Brigade also paid the price of thousands of casualties.

    After once again repelling the Soviet army's crazy attack, Chu Ziye leaned in the trench with a submachine gun at his feet and picked up the walkie-talkie, "I'm Chu Ziye, old money? How is your place?"  I can still stand it! That¡¯s good, I¡¯m relieved!¡±

    "On my side, we fought very hard. No, Lao Xu and his fifth brigade just left, and I repelled five Soviet attacks in a row. It's fucking weird. It seems that I, Lao Chu, are easy to bully.  Like, the old guys are going crazy, rushing up in piles, I said, old money, are all the old guys from the army coming to my side?" Chu Ziye said with a loud voice.  , talking to Qian Jiaxing, commander of the Sixth Brigade.

    Qian Jiaxing, commander of the 6th Brigade, laughed and said: "Commander Chu, it's not your old Chu's meaty smell that attracted all the Soviet troops to you!"

    Qian Jiaxing really guessed it right. The Second Army of the Soviet Army devoted two main divisions to the attack on the 4th Brigade on the left. There was only one division to attack the 6th Brigade on the right. The pressure was completely different.  , Therefore, the Sixth Brigade fought relatively easily, but Chu Ziye fought much more difficultly.

    Putting down the walkie-talkie, Chu Ziye stuck his head out to observe the movements of the Soviet army. At this moment, a sudden warning sign suddenly rose in his heart. It was on the battlefield where countless life and death battles were fought.  With the instinct he had developed, he retracted his head as fast as lightning.

    "Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! -!" A burst of heavy machine gun bullets hit the trench soil in front of Chu Ziye, splashing in all directions. The splashed soil and gravel scratched his cheeks.  His head and face were covered with dirt.

    Chu Ziye was furious, picked up the phone, and shouted: "Mortar troops, immediately clean up the fire points within the shooting range of Lao Maozi, especially the light and heavy machine gun fire points. Damn it, it almost killed me."  !¡±

    After putting down the phone, Chu Ziye heard the sound of "dong dong dong!" mortars were fired. He said bitterly: "Damn it, the old Maozi soldiers hit me with a shuttle of bullets, and I will return ten mortars to you."  Cannonball, let¡¯s see who is tough enough!¡±

    Chu Ziye didn¡¯t take the danger just now seriously, but he was so frightened that several guards broke into cold sweats. They hurriedly rushed to him and shouted: "Brigadier, are you not injured?"

    Chu Ziye grinned and said nonchalantly: "What are you doing? You are making such a fuss. Don't worry, the bullet that hit me hasn't been made yet!"

    At this time, Colonel Wu Chengguang, the brigade chief of staff, led two guards, hunched over, ran along the trench, and said breathlessly: "Brigade Commander, I received a report from the mortar unit that we don't have many shells.  , there is only one base, and it should be replenished as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to repel the Soviet attack. In addition, there are not enough bullets for light and heavy machine guns. The battle is too fierce and the ammunition consumption is very large!"

    Chu Ziye almost jumped up, but the guard hurriedly held him down, "What? The shells are almost out. It's impossible. Didn't I give the order when we set off? We didn't bring heavy artillery, so we were counting on the mortars to help.  Come on, bring more artillery shells. The guys in the Logistics Department must have failed to follow my orders. Chengguang, call the head of the Logistics Department. I¡¯ll ask him face to face what¡¯s going on?¡±

    "If the Logistics Department is lazy, I will kill their minister on the spot!" Chu Ziye roared. Looking at this posture, other troops would not be able to mobilize to reinforce him and repel the Soviet attack. Mortars  It's the main force and there are no artillery shells. Wouldn't that be fatal?

    Wu Chengguang said hurriedly: "Brigadier, don't lose your temper. When the battle began, you personally commanded the entire brigade's mortars. You knew clearly that the number of rounds fired was not because the logistics department did not carry enough ammunition, but because  The main reason is that it consumes too much, and I can¡¯t blame the logistics department!¡±

    Chu Ziye was silent. That¡¯s right. He was commanding the mortar unit, and his voice was almost hoarse. He seemed to have cursed others, blaming the mortar bombardment for not being dense enough, and just enjoying the fight!

    Chu Ziye thought for a while and said: "Chengguang, it will take an hour and a half at the fastest for our fourth tank brigade to reinforce us. The other troops will not be available for a while. The next battle will  We still have to rely on ourselves, we definitely can¡¯t do it without artillery shells!¡±

    "Immediately, in the name of the brigade headquarters, send a telegram to the baggage department and give them within one hour to deliver ten basic mortar shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets to the fourth brigade, and tell the people in the baggage department that  If this is not possible, I will lead the troops and kill Song Wenhai, the director of the baggage department! Even when I get to the division commander, I will say the same thing!"

    After receiving the threatening telegram from Major General Chu Ziye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, Colonel Song Wenhai, the director of the baggage department, felt his scalp numb at that time. These brigade commanders who were red-eyed on the battlefield were killed.  It's impossible to harm yourself. If you make trouble for yourself during a meeting, then?Can't run away!

    Song Wenhai made a phone call and handed over the task of transporting shells and bullets to the 4th Brigade to the 3rd Baggage Regiment. The 3rd Regiment immediately got busy. Among the chaotic crowd, an officer with a major general's epaulettes stood out.  !
