Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, was very eager to make a comeback. It was the sullen feeling he held in his heart when he went out to fight the blocking battle. Unfortunately, the Soviet army did not catch up.

    Now, Chu Ziye's idea was directed to the direction of the second brigade. The two brigades retreated in different directions. The distance in between was at least fifty or sixty kilometers. This was also the division commander's order. The two brigades gathered together.  If they are together, they may all be entangled by the Soviet army, and no one can escape. Correspondingly, if they retreat separately, even if they are trapped along the way, they can be rescued in time on the other way, which also weakens the strength of the Soviet army.

    If the Soviet army only pursues one of the two independent divisions retreating from the battlefield, and there are no pursuers on its side, then the direction of the second brigade is likely to become the target of the Soviet army's pursuit. If this is the case, their own troops will be attacked from the side.  After attacking and killing them, it is not difficult to wrap up dumplings for the pursuing Soviet troops and stage a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle to show those old Maozi soldiers who is the prey?

    However, it has been more than an hour since they evacuated the battlefield, and Ouyang Yishan has not reported any situation. Is it because they are not being pursued?

    However, Chu Ziye then thought about it, and there was another possibility. The pursuing Soviet troops were not large in strength, and Ouyang Yishan could definitely deal with it. He wanted to eat alone. Don't look at that guy who usually doesn't talk much.  He looks like a good old man, but he is no less warlike in his heart than the brigade commander. Besides, there are many people in the wilted bar, so don¡¯t underestimate him!

    Having made up his mind, Chu Ziye said to the communications staff officer: "Get through to Brigadier Ouyang immediately!"

    The contact was quickly connected with Chu Ziye¡¯s voice.  Much nicer than usual, "Commander Ouyang? I'm Chu Ziye. What's the situation on your side? Are the Soviet troops pursuing me? There's no problem on my side. I'm not paying attention to you!"

    When Ouyang Yishan heard Chu Ziye's words, he understood what he meant at that time, "Commander Chu, I'm confused too, you say. We fought for two hours and lost more than 60,000 people."  The Soviet army failed to advance even a step and suddenly retreated from the battlefield. We have to catch up no matter what! I'm ready to fight back! "

    Chu Ziye was as if he had been given chicken blood, and he didn't even think about the meaning of Ouyang Yishan's words.  Then he said hurriedly: "Okay, Brigadier Ouyang, you can't take it all for yourself. Besides, the division commander ordered us to get out of the battle quickly. It will be difficult and time-consuming for you to deal with the pursuers with one brigade. Anyway, give us a drink.  The opportunity to make soup is your job. I, Lao Chu, will not fight for it. In this way, you will be the main attacker and I will be the assist. The fourth brigade will be under your command within three hours. When it is over, hurry up and talk to the division commander.  How about meeting up?"

    Chu Ziye's tone was full of eagerness and temptation. Ouyang Yishan was so happy that his stomach hurt. This old Chu almost went crazy thinking about fighting. "I said Brigadier Chu, listen to what you said."  But, is there a pursuer behind the Second Brigade? To be honest, I was looking forward to the Soviet army chasing him and taking the opportunity to turn around and bite him, but it¡¯s a pity that I don¡¯t have this chance!¡±

    "Uh!" Chu Ziye was speechless for a while, and then he yelled into the microphone: "Ouyang Yishan, you are an honest man, there are bad intentions, okay, I won't talk nonsense to you.  If you have the time, I¡¯ll take a nap first!¡±

    The two brigade commanders were preoccupied with making a comeback, but they forgot to report the safe withdrawal of their troops from the battlefield to the division commander.

    Just when Ouyang Yishan and Chu Ziye were hoping that the Soviet army would catch up, Tang Qiuli, who had already evacuated first, was on a hill, looking at the troops running towards the east continuously under his feet, with a look of anxiety on his face.  "Yu He, have you received any telegrams from the Second Brigade and the Fourth Brigade? It's been more than two hours, why is there still no news? Could it be that they are entangled by the Soviet army?" He asked uncertainly.

    Zhao Yuhe looked at Tang Qiuli, who looked anxious, and comforted him: "It's probably not the case, sir, don't worry, I'll send a telegram right away to inquire about the situation!"

    A few minutes later, Zhao Yuhe came back and said with a half-smile: "Commander, there is news. The 2nd and 4th brigades blocked the Soviet reinforcements for two hours and inflicted a large number of casualties on the Soviet troops, and then successfully withdrew."  We have left the battle and are currently on our way to join the main force of the corps!¡±

    Tang Qiuli asked in surprise: "Why don't you report it to the division headquarters instead of us sending a telegram to ask them?"

    Zhao Yuhe suppressed laughter and replied: "The two brigade commanders were so preoccupied with waiting for the Soviet army to pursue them that they opened up their posture and prepared to fight back. They forgot what the reporter pointed out!"

    "What?" Tang Qiuli simply didn't know what to say, and shook his head angrily, "This must be Chu Ziye's idea, Ouyang Yishan doesn't have such courage, nor does he have such a lot of thoughts, okay  "It's too late to get rid of the Soviet army. It's better that he still wants to fight back. It's really outrageous!" Tang Qiuli choked out the last word.

      Zhao Yuhe finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, saying: "Commander, you mistakenly blamed Brigadier Chu this time. Brigadier Ouyang also reported the same when explaining the reason. Both of them had the same idea.  ¡ª¡ªCome back with a shot!¡±

    Tang Qiuli was dumbfounded, even an honest man like Ouyang Yishan.  .  .  .  .  .  , he had absolutely nothing to say, and in the end, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

    Zhao Yuhe raised another question, "Division Commander, in the Battle of Minusinsk, we captured more than 40,000 Soviet prisoners of war. Now, these prisoners of war are being transferred with the troops, which is very inconvenient and affects the marching speed of the troops.  We have to mobilize five regiments of troops to take care of these prisoners. Is it okay to call the commander of the prison guard?" Zhao Yuhe made a gesture of wiping his neck.

    Tang Qiuli's face darkened and he said unhappily: "Yuhe, treat Soviet prisoners of war differently from Japanese prisoners of war. The rule of not keeping prisoners does not apply to Soviet prisoners of war. Send a telegram immediately to tell the commander of the escorting unit that if  If a Soviet prisoner of war dies abnormally, he will go to a military court and order them to escort all prisoners of war to the Pingjin area in North China and hand them over to the Pingjin Garrison Command. "

    After a pause, Tang Qiuli looked at the icy blue sky without any clouds in Outer Mongolia, and said with emotion, "Yu He, I am not a murderous person. Except for Japanese prisoners of war, these Soviet prisoners of war  , can be regarded as free labor, keeping them is useful! By the way, convey my message to the Pingjin Security Headquarters, the conditions in the prisoner-of-war camp should be better!"

    At this time, the jeep of Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, drove up from a distance, kicked up dust along the way, and stopped in front of him with a "squeak" sound. Chen Feng jumped out of the car and trotted over, "Report to the division commander, what have you received?"  The intelligence office forwarded information that the Soviet Baikal Front has begun to move south, and its leading troops are divided into two groups, heading towards Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude respectively! "

    Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, and said with a sneer: "Stalin has such a big appetite. He flanked me and tried to cut off my retreat. However, it was too late. He ordered the troops to speed up the march!"

    Twelve mechanized infantry brigades and four armored brigades of the corps directly under the independent division, plus artillery units and air defense units, withdrew to the direction of Cullen as quickly as possible from the north and south routes, leaving Minusin in a mess.  On the battlefield of Sksk, the 43rd Group Army was almost completely wiped out. The mess of more than 10,000 remaining soldiers was left to the commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, General Vasilevsky, to clean up.

    At this time, the 60,000 Soviet reinforcements had arrived in the Balekcha area and met up with the remnants of the 43rd Army. Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, the commander of the Army who had narrowly escaped death, met with Chief of Staff Khabarov  Accompanied by Major General Ski, he greeted the reinforcements commander who was in shock, with green lips and pale face, and was almost exhausted from running. The two sides met as if they were a world away. They held hands and exchanged greetings and affection. The scene of the meeting was quite warm and touching.  of.

    The commanders of the Soviet Fourth Route Reinforcement Force were all shocked when they saw the miserable situation of the 43rd Army. It was so miserable that the only word "miserable" could be used to describe the current situation of the 43rd Army.

    The fully-equipped 43rd Group Army had a total of 156,000 troops when it set out. However, within a few days, it was beaten to death and to pieces by the independent division troops. Two armies were completely wiped out, and one army suffered casualties.  With only more than 15,000 people left, most of whom were wounded, the 43rd Army was completely finished, no different from being annihilated.

    However, they would not say these words. Although the result of rescuing the 43rd Army was very unsatisfactory, in any case, it completed the order issued by the front army headquarters. As for the rest, Bamiyan  Lieutenant General Nov, please explain yourself to General Vasilevsky.

    But this explanation did not make Lieutenant General Bamiyanov hang himself in difficulty. He was so entangled that he almost went crazy. The troops were almost exhausted. This was not the most serious problem. The Soviet Union did not lack troops to supplement. The most serious problem was itself.  They failed to entangle the troops of the Independent Division and allowed these hateful and cunning Chinese to take advantage and then left smoothly. To be precise, they did not complete the orders of General Vasilevsky.

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov and Chief of Staff Major General Khabarovsky know better than anyone what the consequences will be. They shudder when they think about it. The current situation is beyond what a "bad luck" can say.

    Obviously this matter cannot be concealed, so they can only report it truthfully and wait for the thunderous wrath of Comrade Commander of the Front Army. The two people locked themselves in the tent and racked their brains before drafting a long telegram to send Minu  The situation of the Battle of Sinsk was described in detail. Of course, there were many plots to excuse oneself, and it was also full of endless grievances. In the final analysis, all the mistakes lay in the intelligence department!

     After the telegram was sent, the two of them sat in the tent, looking worried at each other, anxiously waiting for the verdict of fate!
