Just after dawn, two mountain combat brigades arrived at the railway line. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Xiao Hua is the political commissar of the special forces, he and Chief of Staff Deng Guangming have been commanding two mountain brigades to fight. Xiao Hua has comprehensive quality and is both military and political. It rained in the second half of the night and stopped at dawn. "Political commissar, Liao Ming of the 1st Brigade has a situation report!" After speaking, the chief of staff motioned for Liao Ming to come over. In the middle of nowhere, a soldier in a raincoat stood in front of him.

"Brigade Commander Liao, why did the troops stop advancing?" "Commissar, my vanguard, found two regiments of Soviet troops at the Kent station. The Soviets were coming from the north and were getting off. The opportunity is rare, and it is advisable to eat two regiments of the Soviet army. Chief of Staff Deng Guangming said: "Political commissar, the headquarters let us move as big as possible, and there are no specific requirements." Brigade Commander Liao's suggestion can be considered. Although we couldn't get into the Kent Hills on time. However, there are two advantages to eating two regiments of the Soviet army: first, it will create a big momentum and serve the purpose of confusing the Soviet army, and second, it will supply us on the spot, which will be of great benefit to our future operations. ”

Xiao Hua thought a little and said decisively: "Immediately bring the commander of the 2nd Brigade Zhang, and we will study the combat plan!" "The results of the study decided that the 1st Brigade was located in the north and northwest to outflank the attack, and the 2nd Brigade was located in the south and southwest to outflank the attack, encircling three and missing one, forcing the Soviet army to flee to the east and pursue it into the Kent Mountains. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the troops began their operation, and planned to launch an attack at 6 o'clock sharp. Xiao Hua's headquarters then moved forward, overlooking Kent Station from a high point.

Kent Station is a small water station with few households. There is a lumber yard nearby, trains full of logs often go south, and a dedicated railway line to the northeast. Two regiments of the Soviet army came from the north to deal with the Chinese troops who crossed the river. Vasilev did not know that it was two mountain combat brigades of the Eighth Route Army that crossed the river, and thought that they were small reconnaissance units. Arriving at the Kent station were the 8th and 23rd regiments of the 22nd and 23rd Mobile Brigade of the Central Military District, commanded by the brigade commander, Colonel Yushirov.

After the Soviet officers and soldiers got out of the car, Yushirov ordered breakfast. While he had breakfast, he arranged the search mission. An adjutant briefed the situation: "It is from here that the enemy forces cross the Ussuri River, and their range of activity should be in this area, and our search range should also be in this area." "After eating, one battalion was left to serve as station guards, and the others were battalions as units to form a search force. The command strictly ordered that this enemy reconnaissance force must be destroyed! ”

At this time, the signal soldier ran to report: "Report to the brigade commander, the command has called, let you answer!" A few minutes later, Yushirov came out with a pale face. The command reported that at midnight, the bridge over the Armu River was blown up, and in the morning, the Vladivosk and Ussuriysk airports were subjected to devastating air strikes, and the Chinese army attacked us. The headquarters is drawing up a counterattack plan and ordering our department to cancel the search operation and stand by in place.

As soon as Yushirov finished speaking, a terrifying whistling sound suddenly sounded from the sky. The servicemen were no strangers to this kind of sound, and immediately judged that it was a mortar sound. The Soviet officers and men who reacted quickly immediately lay down to dodge, and while the officers and men who reacted slowly were still stupid, shells fell from the sky, and a violent explosion suddenly enveloped the platform. The sudden mortar bombardment is self-evident. This Soviet unit was transferred back from the European theater and had a wealth of combat experience.

Soviet officers and soldiers realized that enemy forces were in front of them and quickly went into combat mode. Due to the lack of preparation and poor command, the Soviet army could only resist spontaneously. Soon the Eighth Route Army pressed up from three directions, and the attack was very sharp. After resisting for 20 minutes, the Soviets were suppressed and passively beaten on the front line of the platform. In a room at the station, a subordinate panicked and said: "Brigade commander, the Central Military Region called, asking us to stay and wait for reinforcements, and the nearest reinforcements arrived in two hours." ”

Yushirov said: "The enemy has at least one brigade of troops, and in two hours we will all be prisoners of war." Order the divisions to alternately block and retreat to the east! "Yushirov gave a stupid order, if he chose to block part of his forces, the main force retreated and might be able to escape. He did not expect that the enemy army that appeared in front of him had two brigades, which were 5 times more than his own strength. I didn't even think that the enemy army was a mountain and jungle combat unit. As soon as the Soviet troops withdrew from the station, the troops outflanked by the north and south flanks launched an attack, and the Soviet resistance immediately collapsed and scattered and fled.

The gunfire moved eastward, Xiao Hua glanced at his watch, and it was still 20 minutes away from 7 o'clock, and only 40 minutes had passed from the launch of the attack to the hasty escape of the Soviet army. "Chief of Staff, I observed that this Soviet unit reacted quickly and had good combat effectiveness, but the Soviet commander was not very good." The chief of staff said with a smile: "The terrain of the station is good, if the Soviet army leaves part of its forces to intercept, the main force of the Soviet army can run away." The lack of one in the siege was very effective, I didn't expect the Soviet army to collapse so quickly. Commissar, let's go down the mountain! ”

Xiao Hua led the headquarters to the platform, and the stationmaster and staff of the Soviet Russian station were detained on the platform. "Report, how do they deal with it!" "What to deal with, they are not soldiers who let them go." After finding it, Xiao Hua found that a railway track stretched to the southeast, and the rail was rusty, apparently not open to traffic. "Go and ask, where does that railroad lead." After a while, an operational staff officer came back and reported: "Report, the Russian stationmaster told me that the railway is a special line leading to a copper mine. ”

Xiao Hua glanced at the chief of staff and said, "Inform the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade that after the battle, go to the copper mine to converge." Chief of Staff, let's get on the train and go straight to the copper mines. Soon, Xiao Hua, Deng Guangming and the command guard company boarded the train, and the front of the locomotive turned upside down into the special line and drove slowly to the northeast. Captured prisoners were sent from time to time on the way, and the train became a special train for Soviet prisoners of war. To the east of Kent station is the mid-mountainous area, where the jungle mountain operations special operations brigade excels. In the face of the strong, the Soviet soldiers were powerless to resist and had to flee in a hurry.

Yushirov led his troops all the way to escape, and soon the troops were torn apart. For the first time, Yushirov learned what it means to run for your life. In particular, what puzzled Yushirov was that the enemy's pursuing troops were like shadows, and they could not be shaken off. The enemy army is fighting in the jungle and the mountains, and it seems that they are familiar with the road and elusive, and their subordinates have no time to react before the enemy army appears in front of them. Yushirov ran all the way, the woods became denser and denser, and the gunfire behind him stopped. Collecting the remnants, it was found that there were only more than 200 people left, and each of them lost their armor.

Some soldiers lost their weapons, some officers lost their hats, and once upon a time, their subordinates were so embarrassed. It was really impossible to run, so Yushirov ordered to rest for a while. When the subordinates heard that it seemed to be an amnesty, they all lay on the ground motionless. Yushirov no longer cares about the image, unbuttons his shirt and leans against a tree. The exhausted chief of staff sat beside him and said: "Brigade commander, what we have encountered is a special forces, they are not only strong in combat, but also very experienced in mountain and jungle operations. ”

"Yes! We can't see them, but they can see us. This special forces of the enemy army, at least two brigades, is full of their men, and we are lucky to be able to escape. "Brigade commander, the radio is gone, and the command does not know about our situation, so it quickly let the command know about it. Two brigades of enemy troops came in, it was terrible. After the chief of staff finished speaking, he found Yushirov's eyes staring ahead, and his mouth was open for a strange appearance Yang. The chief of staff hurriedly looked at it and found that countless figures had appeared around him.

At about 1 p.m., Schoke led the command and a large number of Soviet prisoners to the copper mine. Abandoned copper mines, a dilapidated scene. Many of the animals that have made their home here have fled in fright. "Commissar, you want to detain Soviet prisoners here? Good idea, the back of the train pulls enough food for them to eat for two months. "The 1st Brigade reported that the Soviet brigade commander had been captured, and it was estimated that it would arrive in half an hour." An operational staff officer reports. "Immediately send a report to the headquarters to destroy two regiments of the Soviet army at the Kent station, the enemy brigade commander was captured, and the statistics of prisoners of war were reported later."

Xiao Hua continued: "Our department has successfully entered the Kent Mountains, and I request further instructions from the headquarters!" "While the pursuit and sweep were being made, a reinforced Soviet infantry brigade arrived at Kent station by train. The Russian stationmaster reported: The 22nd and 23rd regiments of the 8th brigade retreated to the east, and the enemy followed in pursuit. The enemy army has a division! The 22nd and 23rd regiments could not resist at all. The brigade commander of the Soviet army, who had come up for reinforcements, was shocked when he heard this, and did not dare to act rashly, and immediately reported to the headquarters.

Mudanjiang Special Operations Command, Mu Shixiong said happily: "Chief of the General Staff, Xiao Hua's headquarters met two regiments of the Soviet Army at Kent Station in the morning today. Xiao Hua decisively ordered an attack, and the troops crossed the railway line to pursue them. This move will allow you to wipe out two regiments of the Soviet army and enter the Kent Mountains. Ouyang Jian said: "It is not good to destroy the two regiments of the Soviet army. Telegram Xiao Hua, after entering the Kent Mountains, the troops are scattered, and it is necessary to launch a large-scale attack in the Kent Mountains to cut off the connection between the north and the south, including road and rail transportation! ”

"Report, Commander Su called, at 8 o'clock this morning, Zhao Liang's division of the 1st Army launched a feint attack on the front of Suifenhe." A subordinate reported. "Chief of the General Staff, several armies are gathered on the border line, why let one army launch a feint?" Mu Shixiong was confused. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "This is Su Yu's shrewdness, first, to make the Soviet army scratch their heads, and second, to mobilize the Soviet army to increase troops to the border." The feint was a deliberate show of weakness, the Siberian railway transportation was cut off, and the Soviet army on the southern front was unable to launch an offensive, forcing Vasilev to gather heavy troops in Tongjiang and launch an offensive along the Songhua River, this is Su Yu's purpose! ”

"Su Yu's fight is getting better and better, no wonder you value him so much!" "Tell him about Xiao Hua's advance into the Kent Mountains and the elimination of two regiments of the Soviet army."
