Chapter 767: Hujirt Ambush (1)

Tang Qiuli cast a net in Hujirt, ready to give a head-on blow to the Su Méng army that came to compete for Saiyin Shanda, but before the Su Méng army arrived, the Soviet army's reconnaissance plane came, and there were two of them, the national strength was strong, and the soldiers and horses did not move, and the plane came out first, which made Tang Qiuli jealous.

In Tong Batu in Saiyin Shanda, Ròu could already see that the red five stars painted on the nose of the plane turned his head and ordered the staff officers around him to immediately organize an attack on the air, it was better to beat down the big-nosed plane, and if they couldn't beat it down, they would be scared into a cold sweat, and the Soviet reconnaissance plane circled over Saiyin Shanda for several weeks, and what they saw was the city full of ruined troops, in and out, and some troops drove out of the city.

Saiyin Shanda has fallen into the hands of the Chinese, there is no doubt, just about to reconnoiter at a low altitude, on the ground, suddenly a little ignition huā, a light sound on the wings, a row of black holes appeared, the Soviet pilot was frightened into a cold sweat, quickly pulled up and climbed high, quickly out of the ground fire range, extremely annoyed in his heart.

I had the intention to retaliate, and I swept Chinese people on their backs, but they only had reconnaissance missions, and the plane was only equipped with a tǐng machine gun, and I don't know how many heavy machine guns there were on the ground, and I was more sure that the main force of the Chinese was in Saiyin Shanda, and there was no anti-aircraft artillery fire.

When passing through the Hujirt Mountains, the pilot of one of the Soviet reconnaissance planes did not know what was going on, pressed the nose of the plane, and swept wildly towards the ground, a string of bullets hit the ground with mud, and the branches and leaves of the green trees fell one after another.

Fortunately, after the Soviet reconnaissance plane swept away for a while, it turned around and flew away, and the Hujirt Mountains returned to calm, which was just a small chā and did not affect the ambush troops, according to common sense, after the reconnaissance plane flew away, the Soviet troops should arrive soon, but the ambush troops waited from noon to the afternoon, and there was still no movement.

Seeing that from the afternoon to the setting of the sun, night quietly fell into the Hujirt Mountains and the surrounding grasslands, Tang Qiuli called the special operations detachment that was monitoring the movements of the Soviet troops along the line from Kulun to Saiyinshanda, and received a report that no trace of Soviet troops had been found. In this way, he acquiesced in his own entry into the army, and Tang Qiuli didn't believe in this judgment.

The commanders of the brigades gathered in the temporary headquarters, and their opinions were divided into two kinds, one was that the troops immediately left the ambush place, advanced to Kulen overnight, took advantage of the fact that the Soviet troops were not assembled, and captured Kulen as quickly as possible, and then looked for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Soviet army, and then spread out the troops to control the entire territory of Méng Gu.

Another opinion is that the troops are still in ambush in place, and before the living forces of the Soviet army are annihilated, even if they occupy Kulen, the strength of the troops will be violent in front of the Soviet army, which will inevitably lead to a large-scale counterattack by the Soviet army.

Everyone argued for a long time, only to find that when the family had not spoken, they couldn't help but stop talking, and turned their eyes to the division commander who was in a state of contemplation, Tang Qiuli had been pondering the intentions of the Soviet army, according to the convention, the Soviet army should not allow the important town of Kulen to fall into the hands of the Chinese, moreover, the Soviet people's ambitions for foreign méng ancient were clearly exposed, occupied for more than ten years, how could they let go lightly, then they did not immediately carry out military operations, what reason?

Tang Qiuli judged from all aspects of information that there must be a big battle in Saiyin Shanda, and his determination to ambush was unwavering, and he found that the room suddenly became quiet, raised his head, glanced at everyone gently, and said with a smile: "Why, I can't hold my breath after just lying on my stomach for a day?" The Soviets must be given plenty of time to mobilize their troops and prepare, and besides, the eyes of the people in the air must also go back and talk, continue to lay ambushes, and take advantage of this opportunity to improve the ambush positions and positions of the troops, and there is one thing that can only be better than yesterday."

After a few words, everyone laughed, and the argument immediately ceased to exist, since the division commander said to continue the ambush, then wait, the division commander's judgment has never been wrong, Tang Qiuli turned his head and asked: "Brigade Commander Tong, there is no flaw in your play in Saiyin Shanda, right?" This was originally a joke, and Tang Qiuli just asked like this, without any special meaning.

Unexpectedly, Tong Batu is a méng ancient man, his heart is straight, as soon as he heard this, his face turned red, he immediately jumped up, stood up and saluted, and said loudly: "Division commander, I, Tong Batu, dare to use my head to vouch, the Second Cavalry Brigade has definitely completed the task given by the division commander, if there is a mistake, you will shoot me, division commander."

Everyone was stunned, Tang Qiuli was also stunned, and then understood, these few jokes stabbed the heart of this fierce and upright ancient man, and the cavalry commander Liu Chūn saw this, patted Tong Batu on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Old Tong, the division commander is joking with you," Tong Batu suddenly got up, embarrassed, and everyone laughed.

Tang Qiuli continued to lurk patiently in Hugirt, and there was also a tense atmosphere in the military headquarters of the Soviet Far East Special Army in Kulen, with officers at all levels coming in and out, busy, and the army commander, Lieutenant General Mikovsky, staring directly at the telegram of the regimental political commissar Askov, and on the table, there were scattered photos taken by the air force reconnaissance plane, and his heart was a mess, and he couldn't make up his mind.

To tell the truth, with Lieutenant General Mikovsky's military level, according to the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, he could not judge at all the strength of the ** squadron that occupied the Saiyin Shanda squadron, and he could only ask the Far Eastern Military District.

The great purge of the Soviet Union that began in 1934 caused irreparable losses to the Soviet army, and the vast majority of outstanding military commanders were arrested and executed; in the Soviet army at that time, 73 of the 87 army commanders were arrested and shot on trumped-up charges.

Stalin was also aware of this, and in order to fill the vacancy and prevent the troops from losing command, he had to surprise promote a large number of grass-roots officers, especially political work cadres, to the post of senior commanders.

Now, in the face of this sudden situation, they are at a loss and cannot make up their minds, and in half a day and one night, the Soviet Far East Special Army has not done anything, that is, it has not mobilized its troops, nor has it made preparations for a corresponding attack, and Lieutenant General Mikovsky is only in the command headquarters, or his chief of staff, who quietly arranged a qiē, and even the reconnaissance plane was sent by the chief of staff.

Hearing the news, he rushed to Choppershan, general secretary of the Méng Ancient People's ** Party and the so-called "Prime Minister of the Méng Ancient Republic", and looked at the army commander Lieutenant General Mikovsky, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head, but he did not give the order for the troops to attack, and he was anxious, but he did not dare to urge, so he could only wait patiently.

Saiyin Shanda was occupied by the squadron, Choibalsan was more anxious than anyone else, if the squadron continued to attack Kulen, he would not be able to do it, and the Soviets could still sneak back to China, what should they do? When I went to Moscow to be a beggar, I am afraid that Stalin would not allow himself, and Choibalshan knew what kind of xìng he was engaged in independence abroad, which was a crime of splitting the country and treason, falling into the hands of the Chinese, and shooting him in public trial was light.

Without the support of the Soviets behind his back, Choibalsan did not dare to engage in independence with open fire, there was no boss cover, no use value, Stalin would not have worked so the outside méng, lost the outside ménggu, he was not a god, Choibalsan knew his own weight, so he did not dare to urge the army commander Lieutenant General Mikovsky, the political and industrial officers in the Soviet army, all had backgrounds, did not dare to offend, a secret letter went up, and he couldn't eat and walk.

Finally, the order of the Far Eastern Military District came down, and the commander of the Far Eastern Special Army, Lieutenant General Mikovsky, was ordered to immediately join Comrade Choibalsan to concentrate all his forces to recapture Sainshanda as quickly as possible, and to wipe out the invading squadron or expel it from the ancient border of Méng.

With the order of his superiors, Lieutenant General Mikovsky also had an idea, and after some discussion with Choibalsan, it was decided that all the Far Eastern Special Army should be dispatched, and the Outer Méng Ancient Army should dispatch a cavalry division and a motorized infantry division, which would be included in the battle sequence of the Far Eastern Special Army.

This combat plan was detailed and thorough, and the Far Eastern Special Army dispatched a total of three motorized infantry divisions, two field infantry brigades, two submachine gunner regiments, one artillery division, two tank brigades, one engineer regiment, two air regiments dispatched by the Air Force, with 73 fighters and 28 bombers, and two divisions of the Wai Méng Ancient Army, totaling 125,000 men, 540 tanks, and 370 artillery pieces.

The marching sequence drawn up by the chief of staff is also very reasonable, the tank brigade opens the way in front, there are aircraft escorts in the sky, and the motorized infantry then advances, because the terrain of the ancient steppe outside Méng is flat and open, suitable for the advance of the mechanized corps, and the troops carry out a wide frontal march, advancing in unison, which can defeat the invading squadron in one fell swoop with the most powerful attack power, and divide and encircle until all are annihilated.

Lieutenant General Mikovsky glanced at the chief of staff with a strange gaze, but he did not appreciate it in his heart, this guy is much stronger than his own command ability, and sooner or later he will endanger his own position, find an opportunity to get rid of this guy, strike first, and anyone who threatens his position in the special army in the Far East must be eliminated, this is what the party's cause needs.
