Colonel Liu Chenglin, chief of staff of the First Brigade of the Corps directly under the Independent Division, looked at the Soviet troops on the left and right, surging from less than a few dozen kilometers away from the First Brigade like a torrent, and the current position of the First Brigade has penetrated deep into the left flank of the retreating Soviet army, although the Soviet army fighting with its own troops has only two divisions, but if the Soviet army turns its head around, as long as it takes one bite, it will not take an hour for the First Brigade to fall into the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

Liu Chenglin's heart was shocked, looking at the brigade commander Liu Hongzhang, who was sitting in the armored command car and shouting at the regiments, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly, "It's worthy of being called Liu Daring, it's really bold, with the strength of a brigade, like an awl, he specially stabbed the thick flesh of the Soviet army, and it makes people feel chilled when they look at it!" He thought to himself, wondering how he could persuade the brigade commander not to be too crazy.

Just as he was thinking of a trick, Liu Hongzhang's loud voice, and the sound of gunfire and cannons reached his ears, "The first regiment, don't hesitate, fight to the death-right!" It must be fought hard, the two divisions of the Soviet army on the opposite side were eaten by us by a third, and the rest, before nightfall today, must be solved! It's not all eaten, my Liu Hongzhang's appetite is not so small, dangerous? It's not something you have to worry about, the second and third regiments are on your flank, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

"Brigade heavy artillery regiment, what's the matter with you, when a regiment attacked, the density of artillery support was not enough, give me an explanation? ――What? The troops moved too fast, and the artillery did not have time to build positions? - This is what you said, you remember it for me, Yang Er was stunned, you, the commander of the artillery regiment, can continue to work, it depends on this time. What the? It is difficult for a strong man, I don't have time to give you time to build a position in all directions, I only have one request, when the three regiments start to attack, if the shells can't smash the Soviet positions on the opposite side, you will give me the artillery shell box to the brigade logistics office! ”

"Second regiment, third regiment, after the first regiment launched a frontal attack, your two regiments fought hard from the flank, and after breaking through the Soviet positions, do not stop. Continue to thrust me deeply, yes, you can bite as many Soviet troops as you can, and you are not afraid of a big mouth. I'm afraid I don't dare to eat it! - Well, that's right. This is like my Liu Hongzhang's soldiers! - Nonsense. You don't have to worry about the safety of the brigade headquarters, don't I still have the fourth regiment in my hands! Just go ahead with confidence! ”

Outside the armored command vehicle, Liu Chenglin was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and secretly complained in his heart, "Yes." The brigade commander's madness came up again, and listened to the meaning of his words, tonight, he wanted to eat the Soviet troops blocking the opposite. Then, continue to fight in depth, my God, the first brigade has broken through hard enough, and it has cut off two divisions from hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, more than 30,000 people, this master is still not enjoyable, and he will continue to drill into the pile of Soviet troops? ”

Liu Chenglin looked at the sunset that had been slanted to the west, the blood-red sunset, shrouded in a vast grassland, the earth was glowing with light red light, there were guns everywhere, the sound was innumerable, the strong cold wind, blowing the pungent smell of gunsmoke, not far from him, the artillery carriage of the brigade heavy artillery regiment, rumbling past, and behind the mountain beam farther on the right, on a dry yellow grassland shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset, smoke and dust rose into the sky, that was the large army of the Soviet army, which was rapidly passing through guò.

At this time, the headquarters of the first brigade was in a situation of encountering battle at any time, and the strength of the defense brigade headquarters was less than 2,000 people in a brigade guard battalion.

Seeing the chief of staff standing alone outside the armored command vehicle, with a worried face, the regiment commander asked strangely: "Chief of staff, why are you alone outside, brigade commander?" ”

Liu Chenglin glared at him and asked: "Now that we are in the belly of the Soviet army, a battle will break out at any time, why do you come to the brigade headquarters if you don't control the troops?" What if there is a fight? ”

The commander of the fourth regiment replied with a smile: "Don't worry, chief of staff, when I came, it was already arranged, the chief of staff took my place to command, I asked the brigade commander to ask for a combat mission, you said, let's bite the Soviet army for a few days, but they are all fighting in the first regiment, the second regiment and the third regiment, and our fourth regiment is idle, and there is not even a decent battle, otherwise, you can talk to the brigade commander, replace the first regiment, and let us go to the regiment!" ”

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, replace our four regiments, ensure that we fight better than one regiment, the speed of the assault is faster, don't bite the strength of a Soviet army, you cut off my head!" After speaking, the fourth head of the regiment looked at Liu Chenglin with eagerness on his face.

Liu Chenglin is worried, how can he say that the brigade commander will slow down the speed of the pursuit, but fortunately, there is another one to join in the fun, the strength of a regiment, biting the Soviet army and an army, if this is said to the brigade commander, maybe the brigade commander who is fighting crazy will really replace the fourth regiment.

Liu Chenglin grinned angrily, glared at his eyes and shouted, "What? Requesting a combat mission, you are an old regiment commander, and the brigade headquarters has a complete set of operational arrangements, don't you know, you are all thinking about going to war, rushing forward, what about the safety of the brigade headquarters? If there is a combat order, it will naturally be issued to you, now, you give me a hurry back, master the troops, wait for the order at any time, and don't come back to cause chaos! ”

The commander of the fourth regiment didn't even see the face of the brigade commander Liu Hongzhang, so he was violently trained by the chief of staff, and his head was confused, he usually smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and the chief of staff, who has always been known for his good temper, why is it so hot today, as if he has eaten gunpowder, and when he opens his mouth, it is a volley of artillery, which tendon is wrong, right?

The fourth regiment commander still wanted to grind a few words, but when he saw Liu Chenglin, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he grinned, and when he reached his mouth, he hurriedly swallowed it back, and after saluting, he jumped into the jeep and ran along the road with a smoke.

After losing his temper, Liu Chenglin's mood was not so depressed, he thought about it, beckoned to call over to the commander of the guard battalion, whispered a few words with a stern face, looked at the armored vehicles and infantry of the guard battalion, and expanded the cordon a lot in all directions, only then did he push the car door with some peace of mind and get into the armored command car.

Liu Hongzhang finished deploying the combat mission, was leaning on the seat, smoking a cigarette beautifully, seeing Liu Chenglin come in, he threw the cigarette butt outside the car, but said in a loud voice: "Chenglin, you came just in time, I thought about it, just with the strength of one regiment of the first regiment, I am afraid that I will not be able to gnaw at the Soviet position on the opposite side, you immediately order the fourth regiment to immediately enter the battle, the position, just on the right flank of the first regiment, launch an attack at the same time, the strength of the two regiments, almost!" ”

Liu Chenglin didn't move, and with a rare stern attitude, he said: "Brigade commander, don't be busy giving orders first, I have an opinion on you!" ”

Liu Hongzhang glanced at his old partner with a big grin, and said half-jokingly: "Yo ho, Yan sù is up, if you have any opinions, don't hide it with me!" ”

Liu Chenglin was just about to speak, when suddenly the sky was in the sky. There was a piercing scream, and then, there was a violent explosion, dozens of large-caliber grenades, which fell around the brigade headquarters, and a huge roar echoed in the dim earth, and even the armored command vehicle trembled a few times, and looking through the window, the nearest bullet impact point was less than a thousand meters away from the armored command vehicle.

Liu Chenglin took a deep breath and said: "Brigade commander, you have seen it, the Soviet artillery shells have hit our brigade headquarters, brigade commander, the division assigned us the task of the brigade, is to follow the retreating Soviet troops, and did not order us to assault the depth of the Soviet army, you are violating the order of the division commander!" ”

"Also, look at the current position of our brigade, how much has it come forward, the second brigade on the right flank is more than 70 kilometers away from our flank, and there are no troops on our left flank, brigade commander, we are now alone in the depths, and we have already drilled into the hinterland of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, in case the Soviet army turns around and bites us back, we will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and we are in a very dangerous situation!"

"Therefore, I propose to immediately revoke the combat order you just made, and focus on annihilating the Soviet troops in front of you, even if you want to pursue deeply, you have to wait for the second brigade on the right flank to catch up, brigade commander, as the chief of staff, I have the responsibility to remind you, do not underestimate the enemy's rash advance, the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers can be in your hands, if you insist on going your own way and insisting on not revoking the order, I will report to the division commander in the capacity of the chief of staff of the first brigade and ask the division commander to stop your risky behavior!"

said so many words in one breath, and his attitude was still very resolute, for Liu Chenglin, who usually doesn't say much and respects Liu Hongzhang very much, it was the first time in the world, he gasped heavily, because he was too excited, and a flush appeared on his fair face.

Liu Hongzhang was stunned at first, as if he didn't know him, staring at Liu Chenglin, with a surprised light in his eyes, and then, "Hahaha!" Laughed, "Chenglin, we've been partners for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen you lose your temper, it's rare—it's really rare, I'll just say, I'm Liu Chenglin's chief of staff, we'll have a temper of tepid water!" - Well, I read you right! ”

Regarding Liu Hongzhang's gag, Liu Chenglin was unmoved, and continued to keep his face strained, "Brigade commander, don't interrupt, change the topic, I haven't agreed yet, revoke the order just now, and the artillery regiment has already started!" In more than 20 minutes, the first regiment will start, and the third and fourth regiments will attack one after another, and I am outside the armored command vehicle, and I heard your order, the third and fourth regiments, not to take the Soviet army in front of them as the combat target, they are ordered to continue to attack the Soviet army in depth! ”

"Brigade commander, we only have one brigade of soldiers, but more than 10,000 people, but look at it, there are Soviet troops all around outside, it was originally a dangerous place, and you continue to attack the Soviet army in depth, this is a risk, the military order is lost, it is the end of defeat and death, brigade commander, please seriously consider my opinion!"
