    On the left wing of the retreating Soviet army, on a high ground, Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the Corps directly under the Reading Division, did not know that at that moment, General Vasilevsky, commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, had already attacked  The first brigade, which fought the hardest, had murderous intentions. However, so what if they knew about it, Liu Hongzhang was still worried that it would not cause too much trouble.  It would be best to involve all the retreating Soviet troops!

    At this moment, Liu Hongzhang was leaning comfortably on the withered grass, smoking a cigarette with relish, and with a smile on his lips, listening to the sound of gunfire. He didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, he was very comfortable and very happy.  Enjoy the posture.  .

    In the dark night, the light from a cigarette butt flickered on and off, and was particularly conspicuous on the high hills. Liu Hongzhang felt comfortable, but the commander of the brigade guard battalion next to him was so anxious that he was spinning around.  .

    "God, isn't this fatal? The protruding high ground and a sparkling cigarette butt provide Soviet snipers with a target to shoot at. With just one bullet, the major general brigade commander commanding 16,000 troops can be killed.  My brain needs to blossom!" the guard battalion commander thought secretly.

    Originally, when I saw the brigade commander wanting to smoke, I wanted to dissuade him, but I didn't dare. I had to order a platoon of soldiers to stand in a human wall around the brigade commander, which at least could block the light of the cigarette butts. Unexpectedly, the brigade commander  He lost his temper and shouted: "What are you doing? Go away! It's blocking my view of the battlefield!" Just this voice scared the soldiers in the guard camp and dispersed quickly.

    After smoking a cigarette, Liu Hongzhang was still not satisfied. He took out another cigarette and lit it with relish. The guard battalion commander couldn't bear it anymore. He walked up to Liu Hongzhang and said seriously: "Brigadier Commander, as you  Guard Battalion Commander, I must seriously remind you that please abide by the relevant regulations of the Division Headquarters Security Office on the Guard Regulations for Senior Officers. Put out the cigarette butts immediately, or let the soldiers block the light of the cigarette butts. Please abide by the regulations!"

    Liu Hongzhang took the cigarette away from his mouth, looked at the serious-looking guard battalion commander with interest, and asked with a smile: "Why, is it dangerous for me to smoke here?"

    The guard battalion commander said: "Yes, division commander, it is very dangerous. You may not be aware that you are becoming the best shooting target for Soviet snipers. For your safety, please accept my suggestion!"

    Liu Hongzhang suddenly laughed and said: "Bullshit! - You have just served as the commander of the brigade guard battalion. The big scene has not happened much. Look at the posture in front of you. The Soviet army is busy retreating. How can you think of sniping?  Hands, besides, the front is the direction where the 1st and 4th regiments are attacking. The battlefield is about twenty kilometers away from me. The sniper is desperate, cross the line of fire, come and shoot me?  **Heart!"

    The young guard battalion commander blushed at that time and felt that he had been insulted by the brigade commander. He was executing the orders of the security office of the division headquarters. What was wrong with him?  The brigade commander shouldn't say this about himself, but he didn't know what to say. When he was in trouble, the car of the brigade chief of staff Liu Chenglin drove quickly in front of him. After Liu Chenglin jumped out of the car, the guard battalion commander immediately looked at him asking for help.  to him.

    When Liu Chenglin looked at the guard battalion commander's eyes, and then looked at Liu Hongzhang smoking a cigarette, he immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand towards the guard battalion commander and walked up to Liu Hongzhang, "  Brigadier, telegraph from the front line, the 1st and 4th regiments are about to eat the two half-broken Soviet divisions. After the left and right wings have broken through, the 3rd and 4th regiments will encounter a Soviet division.  The obstruction is in the midst of a fierce battle!"

    Liu Hongzhang sat upright with a sigh, took a long puff of cigarette, frowned and said: "How come Cheng Lin just bites his wife? Something is wrong!"

    Liu Chenglin smiled, took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw it to the ground and stamped it out, "Brigadier Commander, you have violated the regulations. The guard battalion commander raised his opinion. That is his duty. The guard battalion is not just our brigade.  Our troops, in terms of business, also receive guidance from the division commander's security office. What if the security office brings this matter to the division commander, what would be the consequences?" He did not answer Liu Hongzhang's words, but said half-jokingly.

    Liu Hongzhang smiled slightly awkwardly, walked up to the guard battalion commander, and said sincerely: "Don't mind it, I'm just a rough guy, just get used to it, how can your predecessors not be scolded by me?  ! However, your responsible attitude is still very good. This matter is over. I will review it and promise to cooperate with the work of the guard camp in the future!"

    The guard battalion commander's face turned red again, but this time it was not because he felt insulted, but because he was moved. A major general brigade commander who commanded tens of thousands of troops actually apologized to a small major of his own.  In his long military career as a front-line field force, this was the first time he encountered it, and it was beyond his cognition.

    Just as the commander of the guard battalion was about to say something grateful, Liu Hongzhang had already turned around and asked the same question as before, "Cheng Lin, why?"Only capture one Soviet division?  No, there are not many opportunities like this. I ordered the second regiment to entangle the Soviet army in front of me. The third regiment continued to beat me hard. I didn¡¯t believe it. I couldn¡¯t bite off a piece of flesh from my wife¡¯s body again?  "

    Liu Chenglin was startled and cried secretly, "Well, the brigade commander's madness is coming again. The first and fourth regiments are still dealing with two half-disabled Soviet divisions. There are only a few hours to fight.  It can't be ended, and there is no way to free up the Soviet army. The second regiment is attacking the Soviet army one by one. It's just a small meal, but it is going to continue to attack the Soviet army in depth with the third regiment. It's a shame for the coward.  Damn it, isn¡¯t this reckless?¡±

    Liu Chenglin was about to raise objections when he suddenly remembered the in-depth conversation the brigade commander had with him a few hours ago. He swallowed the words on his lips and comforted himself secretly, "The brigade commander has his own way of commanding. Pursuit  For several days and nights, every step the Soviet army took seemed to be taking risks. In fact, so far, the 1st Brigade had made great gains at a small cost, and its position was also the most prominent. "

    Although I thought this way, I was still anxious. The third regiment continued to attack the Soviet army in depth. It was a bit precarious no matter how you looked at it. More than 4,000 troops were trapped in hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and they could not even make a splash.  If you get up, you will be overwhelmed by the Soviet army in the blink of an eye!

    "Brigadier¡ª¡ª!" Liu Chenglin called out. Liu Hongzhang turned around and asked strangely: "Chenglin, what's the matter?"

    Just as Liu Chenglin was about to express his concerns, the director of the brigade communications department jumped off the communications vehicle and ran to the two of them, "Brigade commander and chief of staff, after receiving a telegram from the third regiment, the Soviet army dispatched another  The troops of the division launched a full-scale counterattack against the attack of our third regiment. The commander of the third regiment asked for instructions, what should we do? "

    "Another division came out?" Liu Hongzhang shouted in surprise, "The second regiment captured a division, and the third regiment led out a division. Well, that's it!" After muttering a few words, he ordered: "Record the order  , the third regiment immediately stopped its offensive operations and retreated to the vicinity of the second regiment. The two regiments joined forces to firmly hold the Soviet troops of these two divisions, and ordered the first regiment and the fourth regiment to be in the two divisions.  The battle will be over within an hour!¡±

    The director of the Communications Department repeated the order and left. Liu Hongzhang said to Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, immediately send a telegram to the division commander. Our first brigade will suspend the pursuit of the Soviet army and annihilate the two Soviet divisions at the current location.  troops and wait for the neighboring troops to come up!¡±

    Liu Chenglin was greatly shocked. The brigade commander's attitude made a 360-degree turn, and he was even more inconsistent with his thinking. He had previously ordered a regiment of troops to attack hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.  Why did he stop chasing her in the blink of an eye?

    "Brigade commander, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd? I was worried to death just now. The third regiment was attacking the Soviet army one by one. It was frightening to hear it. Now, you don't  Fight forward! Isn't this torture?" Liu Chenglin shouted.

    Liu Hongzhang smiled slyly and said: "Cheng Lin, stop when you're done. I, Liu Hongzhang, am not so arrogant yet. With the strength of a brigade, I have turned the world upside down among hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops. My soldiers are not invulnerable."  Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, if I have the strength of a corps in my hands, I dare to do this. Everything is the same. If we stare too hard, what if Vasilevsky is really angry and turns around to bite us?  It¡¯s no joke, all my more than 10,000 soldiers have to join in!¡±

    Liu Chenglin burst into laughter and said, "Brigadier, you are scared too. I thought you really dared to pursue more than a million Soviet troops with one brigade all the way to the Ural Mountains? You don't know.  , ever since the pursuit started, I have never been frightened by the orders you gave me!"

    Liu Hongzhang became serious, sighed and said: "Cheng Lin, it's not that I don't want to fight, but the capital in hand is limited. The strategy we adopted before seemed risky, but in fact it was Vasilevskiy's sure-fire strategy.  Weaknesses, no surprises, things will be different in the future. After fighting for several days and nights, the Soviet army has also figured out our tactics. Maybe they really want to kill us? "

    "At this time, it's just the right time to stop! I, Liu Hongzhang, am not greedy. This battle can only be won if we fight hard enough! We can eat as much meat as we have in our belly! But Cheng Lin, to be honest, I am not willing to  Woolen cloth!"

    Liu Chenglin couldn't help but nodded and interjected: "From the beginning of the pursuit, we killed more than one division of the Soviet army piecemeal. The first and fourth regiments were about to wipe out the two half-disabled Soviet divisions. The third regiment was about to be wiped out.  The regiment and the fourth regiment captured the Soviet troops of two more divisions. Added together, our first brigade annihilated nearly six divisions and more than 70,000 Soviet troops. This was enough to make a fortune.  !¡±

    Liu Hongzhang touched his nose and said, "Have you made a lot of money? Let's go. The brigade headquarters will move forward immediately. The two Soviet soldiers we have obtained??, let's not be in a hurry and take care of them slowly!  "
