Chapter 60: Mongolia (6)
Moscow Kremlin
"Bump" A fine Chinese Song Dynasty porcelain was thrown to the ground and smashed to pieces, and Beria, the Cheka leader next to him, stood aside expressionlessly.
"Comrade Beria, what's the name of that chairman of the Chahar political axe?" Stalin, the leader of the Russian Social Workers' Party, asked coldly with a cold glint in his eyes.
"His name is Su Tong, respected Comrade Stalin." Beria replied.
"Order the commander of the Far Eastern Military District, Marshal Bryuher, to wipe out all Chahar's troops in the Mongolian steppe, and if possible, capture that Su Tong alive."
"Yes, as you wish, Comrade Stalin." Beria lowered her head, a glimmer of light flashing under the lenses of her glasses.
Command of the Far Eastern Military District
"Marshal Brucher, this is an order of the Supreme Leader, I hope you will carry it out thoroughly." The Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Military District, General Olga, stared into the eyes of Marshal Bryuhel and said solemnly.
After a moment of silence, Marshal Blücher finally spoke, "Since it is the order of the Supreme Leader, I will naturally carry it out. But I hope that the higher authorities will take into account that we have to fight from the Far East to Chahar, and our current forces are insufficient. ”
"This is your problem, I am only a chief of staff, and you are the commander of the Far Eastern Military District." After talking about this, General Olega opened the door and walked out directly.
"Marshal Bryucher, you have to think about it, if we follow the orders of Comrade Stalin, our existing forces will not be enough to carry it out." At this time, a general next to him said anxiously.
"Oh, dear Comrade Zhukov, this is an order of the Supreme Leader, and if I don't obey it, you know what the consequences will be. I am sure that General O'Lega must have had a signed arrest warrant on his body, and he would certainly have taken it out in due course. Zhukov noticed that a flash of fear flashed in Marshal Bryukhel's eyes when he said this.
"Hmph, these damned conspirators," Zhukov cursed indignantly.
"Okay, Comrade Zhukov, you should go back to your headquarters of the First Army now, and that is the post where you should stay." Marshal Bruchull said helplessly.
"My dear Regiment Commander Andrei, this is the latest order from the division commander." In a long procession, Vasily, the commissar of the 58th regiment, was handing over a telegram to the regiment commander.
"Let's speed up the occupation of Ulaanbaatar and then welcome the arrival of the main forces of the division?" Andrei laughed and said, "No problem, at this rate we will be in Ulaanbaatar tomorrow." I've heard that the girls in Ulaanbaatar are very flavorful haha."
Both men smiled in a way that all men understood.
"Company commander, why is it that every time there is a battle, we are the first company to be the front, and when we are repairing fortifications, we are also in front? Is it because we all look stupid? Li Yuan, the squad leader of the third squad of the first platoon, complained with a sapper shovel digging the dirt.
"It's not that we look stupid, it's that the battalion commander has decided that we are stupid since he saw you." Zheng Xiaoyou glared at Li Yuan angrily.
"It's not my fault that I'm fat, and besides, I'm called burly." Li Yuan said aggrievedly.
"Okay, hurry up and dig the fortifications, it is better to finish the fortifications at the same time, and your "burly" figure can become slimmer. ”
Outside Ulaanbaatar, the soldiers of the advance battalion were flying with sapper shovels and digging for fortifications. According to information from the division headquarters, about one regiment of Russian troops is heading towards Ulaanbaatar and will arrive around tomorrow morning. The division headquarters ordered the advance battalion
Unfold on the spot, build defensive positions and wait for the arrival of the main force of the division headquarters, and do not take a step back without orders.
Out of love for Yilian, Wang Changqing put Zheng Xiaoyou at the forefront as usual.
The 37th Group Army's love for civil engineering and fortifications came from their commander Su, who said that they must first save their own lives in order to destroy the enemy, and a unit that can't even dig fortifications well is definitely not a good army. The so-called good at the top will be very bad at the bottom, so the officers and men of the 37th Group are very skilled in digging fortifications.
Hu Lian stood on the side of the road and looked at the endless team, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
"Division, call from the headquarters." The correspondent sent a telegram.
"Huh?" Hu Lian was shocked when he saw it, the main force of the 23rd Division was following its 58th Regiment towards Ulaanbaatar, and it was expected to arrive tomorrow night.
Not good, Wang Changqing's advance battalion is in danger, and if we can't get to the advance camp in Ulaanbaatar by tomorrow afternoon, we will be in danger of being completely wiped out.
"Chief of Staff, order the troops to advance at the speed of a forced march and must arrive in Ulaanbaatar by tomorrow afternoon." Hu Lian ordered.
"Yes" the order, the troops immediately threw away unnecessary baggage, and the team moved forward quickly. "Company commander, look at the stars on this grassland." Squad leader Li Yuan smiled at Zheng Xiaoyou and said, "Company commander, I heard that you have a good deal in Duolun?" Tell me goodbye. ”
"Go, go, the little hairy child has not grown up, and he is going to think about the virgin girl." After being interrupted by someone to love him, Zheng Xiaoyou's temper was obviously not very good.
"Hmph, I'm nineteen years old, and I can be a father in my hometown, why can't I be a girl." Li Yuan looked very aggrieved and went to sleep depressed.
The night slowly fades and a new day is about to begin.
On the position of the advance battalion, the officers and men were having breakfast. Looking at the officers and soldiers eating the steamed porridge specially made in the camp, Wang Changqing sighed quietly, he was used to seeing life and death, he didn't know how many brothers would be left in the camp after today.
At this time, there was a faint sound of cars in front, and not long after that, a long convoy appeared on the grassland in front, and the 58th Regiment of the Russian Army finally came.
The convoy of the 58th Regiment stopped about two kilometers from the position of the advance battalion, and the regimental commander, Colonel Andrei, raised his binoculars to observe the fortifications built by the Chinese army in front.
"Comrade Vasily, come and see" Andrei pointed to the fortifications in front of him and said: "The fortifications built by the Chinese army on the opposite side are still quite good, if we attack strongly, although we will definitely be able to capture them, the casualties will definitely be not small." ”
"Oh, dear Andrei, why don't you send someone over to persuade them to surrender? At most, they have only one battalion of troops, more than 500 men, and they cannot have the determination to resist us. Vasily came up with an idea that he thought was good.
"Oh well, we can try." Andrei nodded.
"Company commander, Lao Maozi is here." On the position of the first company of the advance battalion, Li Yuan, the little fat squad leader, ran to tell Zheng Xiaoyou.
"Well, fat man, you take people blindfolded to the battalion headquarters," Zheng Xiaoyou spoke.
Advance Battalion Battalion Headquarters
Wang Changqing looked at the Russian officers who came to persuade him to surrender, saluted Wang Changqing and said, "Hello, I am Major Mikhayero, a staff officer of the 58th Regiment of the 23rd Division of the First Army of the Russian Far East Military District. I have been ordered by our regimental commander to advise your troops to surrender to our great Russian Red Army, and our regimental commander assures you that you will be protected by the Naiva Convention. We give you half an hour to consider that if you refuse to surrender after half an hour, our army will have to take a military strike against you to destroy you, and we hope you will consider it carefully. ”
"Haha, in our Huaxia place, he thinks so beautifully" Wang Changqing laughed angrily.
"You go back and tell your commander that unless Lao Tzu is dead, you don't want to set foot in Ulaanbaatar."
"Order the troops, Lao Maozi will come and beat Lao Tzu hard in a while!"
Soon after, Major Mikhaielo returned to the convoy of the 58th Regiment of the Russian Army.
"Comrade regiment commander, the commander of the Huaxia Army on the opposite side refused to surrender, he claimed to fight to the last man."
"Hmph, ignorant yellow-skinned monkey, let's teach him a lesson with machine guns and cannons." André was annoyed that his 'good intentions' had been rejected.
After a while, Zheng Xiaoyou from the front came to report and found that the Russian troops on the opposite side had unloaded several artillery pieces from the car and began to set up artillery positions.
"Battalion commander, Lao Maozi has started to set up artillery, should we kill him a few cannons first?"
"What are you anxious about? The caliber of our artillery is only 75 mm, and we can't reach them at all, so we will fight when Lao Maozi gets close. Wang Changqing shook his head.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the artillery of the Russian army on the opposite side was also erected, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the advance battalion.
Well, it's nine thousand today, brothers, it's not easy for me.
