    Battle quickly calmed down his turbulent emotions. He could feel his brother's mood at this time, that kind of manly love. He stood up casually, took off his military cap, touched his hair, and leaned down to see Tang Qiu.  Li was still slightly taller and said, "Brother, has my hair grown longer? Is it time for a haircut?"

    Tang Qiuli's heart melted in an instant. Such a sensible brother, he rubbed Bart's head a few times, pretending to blame him and said: "You are so old, and you are still a major general. Even your own  I don¡¯t even know how long my hair is. If I want to go to Bai Luoyu, I won¡¯t take care of you!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe just watched quietly, the emotions thicker than blood between the two brothers with different surnames, and the enthusiasm of being moved in their hearts surged, and they couldn't bear to disturb this warm scene.  But I am worried that the teacher is immersed in sadness and memories and forgets that there are more important things waiting to be dealt with.

    At this time, the rescuers appeared. Sun Zhenbang was outside and said loudly: "Report to the division commander. Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, has been ordered to come. If there are any combat missions, please give them to the division commander! The troops are ready for immediate action!  "The movement was loud enough to wake up the two brothers who were immersed in emotional fluctuations.

    Tang Qiuli put on his military cap neatly on Battle, turned around and said to Zhao Yuhe: "If you say Cao Cao is here, Cao Cao will be there, and you are so impatient again!" Then he said to the outside: "Commander Sun, come and go often.  Yes, there¡¯s no need to make so much noise, come in!¡±

    Sun Zhenbang opened the door curtain and came in to give Tang Qiuli a military salute. When he saw Battle, he couldn't help complaining: "Commander Ba, you are so fast that you didn't even wait for me for a while. There is nothing we can do about it."  Regarding the more than 40,000 Soviet prisoners," he turned to Zhao Yuhe, nodded, and said to Tang Qiuli, "Sir, am I not late?"

    Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment and asked casually: "What's so inexplicable? Why is it so late?"

    Sun Zhenbang was anxious, "Commander, isn't there a combat mission for our corps? I came all the way by express train. When I arrived, I made an agreement with the chief of staff. The troops are waiting for my call!"

    Tang Qiuli laughed and joked: "Commander Sun has made some progress. It seems that you have been prepared for the unknown. You have won consecutive battles and your morale is strong. That's good. I won't be too long-winded. Let's get straight to the point!"  "

    After returning to the chair and sitting down, Tang Qiuli's face became serious and said: "You two are here. Well, let's set up the mission, Sun Zhenbang. I'm afraid there is no time to rest. Your troops must go north immediately to surround Culun and Battle.  . Your armored forces are still operating together with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. The Battle of Kulen is about to begin. There is not much time for you two to consume. There are less than four Soviet front troops that have withdrawn from the Far East.  In a few days, we will reach the Chita line, and a larger-scale battle will begin soon. "

    "Therefore, the time for the battle to recapture Coulomb is very tight. I only give you two five days. That is to say, you must capture Coulomb before the evening of April 29th. Is there any problem? But, there is  One request: I can capture Culun. I won¡¯t interfere in any way. But I won¡¯t allow Culun to be destroyed. After the battle, I want a complete Culun, not a Culun that is almost in ruins and covered with rubble!¡±

    Sun Zhenbang and Bater exchanged somewhat surprised looks at each other. The two of them did not expect that the time given by the division commander was so tight. Kulun is the largest city in Outer Mongolia. Although it is the place of the Fourth War, there is nothing  A solid defense system, but after all, there is a Soviet Army Group Headquarters and an entire army unit defending it, plus other Soviet troops around Cullen that have withdrawn into the city, the strength is at least 70,000.

    Moreover, the division commander also requested that the city be preserved from being damaged by war, which further increased the difficulty of the battle. If there were only more than 70,000 Soviet troops, there was no need to consider the city's problems. Six or seven days would be enough to concentrate all the artillery of the corps.  , a round of artillery shells smashed through, first destroying the Soviet army's outer fortifications, and then the tanks covered the infantry and rushed into the city. Street fighting followed, and after three or four days of gnawing, it was not a problem to capture Cullen.

    However, at the request of the division commander, the artillery firepower that Sun Zhenbang relied on was first excluded. Tanks could only be used to cover the infantry, bit by bit. If there was enough time, it would not be a problem. The battle could be ended in ten and a half days, but in five  How can it be enough time?

    Just as Sun Zhenbang and Battelle exchanged glances, Tang Qiuli asked coldly: "What, are there any difficulties? Bring it up immediately, I won't force you!"

    Sun Zhenbang was excited and quickly glanced at Battelle. There was a determined look in Battelle's eyes and he nodded slightly towards him. Sun Zhenbang stood up quickly, stood at attention, and replied loudly: "Commander, there is no difficulty. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps is determined."  Carry out the division commander¡¯s orders!¡±

    Battle also stood up, said in a firm tone: "Division commander, all the armored forces, promise to cooperate with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, complete the tasks assigned by the division commander, and capture Kulun within five days!"

    Tang Qiuli's expression softened and he said: "This is not to create a problem for you two. Deputy Commander Liu's troops on the Chita front line are facing more than two million troops from the two fronts of the Soviet army. They urgently need help.  The only reserve team I have available is the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. Use more brains to fight against Culun. It is not just a hard attack. Okay, hurry back to the army and set off immediately! "

    Sun Zhenbang and Bater saluted vigorously, turned around and left, but were stopped by Tang Qiuli, "Come back!" The two stopped in surprise, and Sun Zhenbang asked: "Commander, do you have any other instructions?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Have you received the instructions? Just prepare some small things for the two generals who are about to go on the expedition. No!" He pointed at the meal that the cook had just delivered and said, "Bring those meals with you. It was originally  While waiting for your arrival, let Battelle take a bite to cushion your stomach. Who would have thought that it would be easier for you to come so quickly? Take it with you and eat it in the car. It is always warmer than marching rations!  "

    Seeing Sun Zhenbang and Battelle disappear, Zhao Yuhe said with some worry: "Commander, are you too nervous in five days? From the south of Delun to the outskirts of Kulun, a journey of hundreds of kilometers, a field battle in Outer Mongolia.  Even if the troops of the Corps are fully mechanized and forced to march, it will take at least a day and a half. There are less than four days left. It will be very difficult to capture the Kulun where more than 70,000 Soviet soldiers are entrenched. Division commander, will you think about it?  "

    Tang Qiuli sighed and explained: "Yuhe, the Soviet army doesn't give us time. If the three Japanese armies in the Far East encircle Zhukov's troops, and the Soviet Trans-Xing'anling Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army turn around and come back to support, everything will be in trouble."  It's easy to handle. We can deploy it calmly, whether it's containment, interception of one part and encirclement, or how to fight, the initiative is in our hands. "

    "However, if the Soviet army does not return reinforcements, we must take this into consideration. Then, on the Chita front line, the East Finger and North China Field Corps, as well as the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, we must fight with the Soviet army, although it will not be on a large scale.  , a fierce frontal battle between large corps, but there are more than 3 million troops on both sides, and the scale of the firefight is not small. In addition, it will also take time to withdraw the five brigades of the directly affiliated corps among the major Soviet front armies. "

    When the two armies were confronting each other, the position of the more than 70,000 Soviet troops in Kulun City became extremely important. It was always a knife stuck in the back of the troops commanded by Deputy Commander Liu. If they went east to rescue, we would be on the Chita front line.  The troops will fall into extreme passivity and have to get out of the way. Subsequently, the five brigades of the directly affiliated corps chasing the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army will become a situation where they are attacked on both sides.  "

    After a moment of silence, he said with emotion: "Yuhe, Kulun is in the hands of the Soviet army, and I feel like I have a stranglehold on my throat! The sooner Sun Zhenbang takes Kulun, the more favorable the situation will be to us. Moreover, the East Point Army needs a reserve force with sufficient strength. This  The burden can only rest on the shoulders of Sun Zhenbang and Battelle!"

    Zhao Yuhe did not speak anymore and was silent. He also knew that the division commander issued this order after countless careful considerations. He must be prepared for the Soviet troops withdrawing from the Far East. However, he still felt that five  The Battle of Kulun is over in 3 days. For the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, the difficulty is not ordinary!

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yuhe suggested: "Division commander, should we adjust our deployment? The Outer Mongolia Field Corps troops should surround Kulun, and then withdraw the five brigades of the directly affiliated corps that are chasing the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army and be responsible for recovering the Kulun battle.  , and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is free to prepare for unexpected situations! "

    Tang Qiuli smiled, shook his head and said: "Yu He, it's not easy to say. The troops of the five brigades directly under the corps may not be able to withdraw now. Take Liu Hongzhang's first brigade as an example. Can they withdraw from the battle now?  "Zhao Yuhe shook his head, and the room fell into silence.

    Liu Hongzhang's First Brigade really couldn't let go. His brigade had captured two divisions of the Soviet Army. It had been fighting for three consecutive days and had eaten up about one-third of the Soviet Army's strength.  , the first brigade's strength of more than 18,000 people faced the two Soviet divisions of more than 30,000 people. Moreover, less than 50 kilometers away was the main left-wing force of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, which numbered hundreds of thousands.  The power of men!

    Liu Hongzhang¡¯s fighting style is fierce and sharp, bold and leaves no room for retreat.  No matter how many troops there are in front of the Soviet army, of the four regiments under his command, the first regiment is used as the sharp knife, and the other two regiments are arranged on the left and right rear wings, forming a "pin"-shaped offensive arrow, leaving one regiment as a reserve  The team, followed by other units such as artillery, would attack Soviet troops when they encountered them. Moreover, they would attack areas where there were many Soviet troops!

    The brigade commander¡¯s style of play allows the brigade toThe chief of staff, Colonel Liu Chenglin, was frightened.
