Chapter Two Thousand and Twenty-Four It's Time to Fight
That long-term Ai Ai, Chu Ziye was impatient, "I'm still a soldier, no, if you have anything to say, I don't have time to accompany you here!" ”
"Brigade Commander Chu, it's like this, on the way we came to replenish the ammunition, we found a group of Soviet troops protruding from our encirclement, and our deputy battalion commander Liu stayed with the armed escort company, ready to block the Soviet army and fight hard, so we left two trucks of equipment behind!"
Chu Ziye's eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and he roared like a thunderbolt: "I'm cāo! It's really fucking anti-heaven, dare to detain Lao Tzu's equipment, sue me, what's the name of that bastard deputy battalion commander? After the battle is over, Lao Tzu has to settle accounts with this bastard, you say, a group of logistics soldiers, what kind of battle are they fighting, is this the job that you logistics soldiers should do? Didn't you go to find death, just by virtue of this, the deputy battalion commander should also be shot! ”
Another company commander thought he was talking too much, so he also took the deputy battalion commander Liu out and hurriedly kicked his feet secretly.
was seen by Chu Ziye, "What are you doing!" What kind of small action, if you don't say it, you two and the logistics soldiers you brought, don't even think about leaving, stay on the position, hand bullets to my soldiers, say quickly, what's that bastard's name? ”
The company commander had no choice but to say: "Brigade Commander Chu, our deputy battalion commander's name is Liu Hongzhang, I heard that he has just been transferred from the field army, and he still has the rank of major general!" ”
"What? Liu Hongzhang, also with the rank of major general! Chu Ziye grabbed the placket of the company commander's front coat, and roared with fire in his eyes.
After asking about the situation, Chu Ziye held his head and spun around in place, muttering non-stop, "Oh, you said you have a big voice, how can you live more and more." Last time, I was still a staff officer for the division commander, and in the division headquarters, the size was also a level, but this time it was good, and I was directly mixed into a deputy battalion commander! It's still in the logistics unit, what the hell is going on? ”
"Chengguang! Chengguang! Chu Ziye shouted loudly, and Colonel Wu Chengguang, chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade, hurriedly ran over.
"Brigadier, what's the matter?" Wu Chengguang asked.
Chu Ziye picked up a submachine gun while handling it. While instructing: "Chengguang, you command the troops here, as long as you hold on for another hour or so, our tanks will come up with reinforcements, and when the time comes." Follow the campaign plan and start the counterattack. Prepare me with an armored command vehicle. A company of guards, I immediately rushed to the division commander to see the division commander! ”
Wu Chengguang hurriedly stopped Chu Ziye and said, "Brigade commander, when the battle is raging, we are about to start a counterattack. If you have any big business, you have to wait until the battle is over. ”
Seeing Chu Ziye spinning back and forth angrily, his eyes widening like a light bulb, Wu Chengguang asked tentatively, "Brigade commander." Are you in such a hurry to see your teacher? Aren't you afraid that the teacher will say that you have left your post without permission? If you delay the counterattack any longer, it won't be good! ”
Chu Ziye was angry, and transferred Liu Hongzhang to the baggage department and became a deputy battalion commander, and said it simply, "Chengguang, you say, isn't the division commander confused, who doesn't know that Liu has a big voice, leaving the battlefield, what spirit is there, isn't that harming him, the division commander is doing this, it is unfair to Brigade Commander Liu, I want to go to the division and ask Brigade Commander Liu for an explanation!" ”
Chu Ziye was so angry that he was panting, don't look at his usual life with Liu Hongzhang, he was not convinced by each other, he was twisting his strength, when he grabbed the task, he was like a cow on the top frame, he didn't give in to each other, sometimes, he was half red-faced, but in private, the relationship between the two was very good, they were both fierce generals on the battlefield, heroes knew heroes, and they had a bit of sympathy for each other.
Wu Chengguang understood, and he also knew the relationship between the brigade commander and Brigade Commander Liu, but at this critical time, the brigade commander went to the division commander to comment, didn't that add fuel to the fire, besides, what was the reason why Brigade Commander Liu was transferred to the logistics unit to be a deputy battalion commander, nothing is clear!
If the brigade commander broke into the division headquarters so rashly, at the critical moment, he left the command post without authorization, and the division commander was angry, and he was willing to stay there even if the brigade commander was there, Wu Chengguang hurriedly stated the relationship and persuaded him, Chu Ziye calmed down, and he also felt that without knowing the inside story, he ran to the division commander and the division commander to theorize, and if he didn't get it, he would have to stay there.
More than an hour after the ammunition was replenished, reinforcements from the 4th and 5th Tank Brigades came up, and the troops on the left and right flanks, each supported by more than 200 tanks, launched a counterattack on the entire Soviet Second Army.
Don't look at the strength of the four brigades and the sixth brigade, which are far less than the strength of the third army of the Soviet army, but the morale and the soldiers' will to fight, that is a big difference, one is to win, the other is facing being surrounded and eager to get out, coupled with the difference in the superiority of tanks and artillery, the counterattack of the fourth brigade and the sixth brigade was suddenly beaten by the second army of the Soviet army, and they were beaten back.
The Second Army of the Soviet Army was unwilling to be blocked back, and carried out two counterattacks, but it did not take advantage of a little advantage, in the contest between tanks and infantry, the infantry without anti-tank weapons and artillery fire cover was the role of a loss, and the two counterattacks of the Soviet Army hit the iron plate, except for the corpses that were thrown all over the ground, they could not take a single step, but were compressed a lot of room for maneuver.
After fighting for more than an hour, the 7th and 8th Brigades and the 6th Tank Brigade of the 3rd Army of the Soviet Army were solved, and they did not even breathe, and according to the orders of the division commander, they immediately rushed to the battlefield of the 4th Brigade and the 6th Brigade.
In addition to the corpses and wounded soldiers lying on the battlefield, more than 30,000 troops of the independent division of four brigades were given to the prisoners alone, and the battle in the middle of the battlefield on the outskirts of Minusinsk ended with the total annihilation of the Soviet Second Army!
The two armies of the 43rd Army of the Soviet Army, the 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades of the Corps directly under the corps of more than 100,000 people, plus the 4th, 5th, and 6th tank brigades of the armored corps, did not make the slightest pause, and the troops of more than 100,000 people, more than 800 tanks, and a frenzied tide, in the twilight of dawn east of the Ural Mountains, braved the bitter cold wind, and swept towards the headquarters of the 43rd Army of the Soviet Army and the First Army under it.
On the outskirts of Minusinsk, in the temporary headquarters of the independent division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was reporting the battle situation to the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Division commander, I have received a report from the front-line troops that the fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth brigades of the armored corps, as well as the fourth, fifth, and sixth tank brigades of the armored corps, have ended the fighting, and the third and fourth armies of the Soviet army have been annihilated, and more than 40,000 Soviet troops have been captured, and they are rushing to the last battlefield according to the orders of the division commander!" ”
Tang Qiuli's expression was as usual, and everything was planned, "How is the situation at the headquarters of the 43rd Army of the Soviet Army and the First Army?" He asked faintly.
Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, the situation is like this, the first brigade and the second brigade, plus the third tank brigade, bit the tail of the first army of the Soviet army, about the strength of one division, the third brigade and the fifth brigade, attacking on both flanks, greatly delaying the speed of the Soviet army's breakthrough, in front of it, has dragged the Soviet army in the area of Barekcha, unable to get out!" ”
"Good!" Tang Qiuli finally stood up excitedly, this battle was fought more smoothly than expected, "The key is that Chu Ziye's Fourth Brigade and Qian Jiaxing's Sixth Brigade fought well, with the strength of two brigades, they dragged the strength of the Soviet Army and one army, it is not easy, Yuhe, the general order commends the Fourth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade, and also, order the troops, fight until ten o'clock this morning, no matter what the result of the battle is, all units must withdraw from the battle!" ”
Zhao Yuhe said: "Division commander, according to the current progress of the battle, all eight mechanized infantry brigades and four tank brigades of the armored corps directly under my direct corps have been pressed on the whole line, and the strength and equipment have an absolute advantage, and in about eight hours, the Soviet 43rd Army can be completely solved, and only the last blow is needed to complete the division commander's plan to completely annihilate the Soviet 43rd Army on the periphery of Mizhinsk, and it is a pity to withdraw from the battle at this time!" ”
Tang Qiuli smiled a little helplessly, and said: "Yuhe, why don't I want to be like this, but that Vasilevsky, don't give us a chance, have the four Soviet armies that went south already turned around and rushed to the aid of the 43rd Group Army?" ”
Zhao Yuhe nodded, "Yes, division commander, I received a report from the reconnaissance unit that the Soviet troops of the four group armies have turned around and returned north, and they can arrive at the battlefield at about seven o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest. Zhao Yuhe replied precisely.
Tang Qiuli's gaze on the map, in the area around Minusinsk, stopped for a while, and then asked: "What is the movement in the direction of Ulan Guben on the southern line?" ”
Zhao Yuhe said with a stern face: "Division commander, as you expected, Brigade Commander Xiao Jinshan called to report that the main force of the Soviet army on the southern front, except for the two group armies that continued to advance back to the direction of Ulan Guben, the other Soviet troops all changed direction and came towards Minusinsk. ”
"Also, Brigade Commander Xiao Jinshan called to ask for instructions, in order to ensure that the battle of the 43rd Group Army of the Soviet Army under the direct corps of the Northern Front is carried out smoothly, will the four brigades of the Southern Front attack and block the main force of the Soviet Army along the way, so as to buy time for the main force?"
Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Xiao Jinshan is not willing to be lonely again, Wulan Gu is a suspicious tactic, he can't fight a war, for this militant, it is more uncomfortable than anything, he can figure it out, more than one million Soviet troops, our four brigades are blocking the attack, is that not going to send him to death, telegraph to Xiao Jinshan, give me honesty!" ”
"Ulan Guben has lost the role of the suspicious soldiers, the battle command has been withdrawn, and all the troops will be withdrawn immediately and transferred to the direction of Kulen to stand by!"
