The battle situation was turned over almost instantly, and dense gunfire sounded in three directions around the Soviet army, and a few minutes ago, the Soviet troops who were still attacking the opponent became the target of attack.

The 43rd Group Army of the Outer Mongolian Front of the Soviet Union, which can also be regarded as the elite unit of the Soviet Army, although it was encircled on three sides, but it was panicked but not chaotic, and the various armies adopted the tactics of echelon cover, and the Third Army, with its flesh and blood, tried to block the frontal attack of the independent division troops, of which the Second Army carried out a ferocious counter-assault on both flanks, and the First Army, where the headquarters of the group army was located, took the opportunity to quickly break through the encirclement.

Ahead, on the field with shining fires and gunfire, a column of Soviet tanks appeared, lined up in a horizontal formation, rumbling over, and according to the order of the commander of the group army, Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, the Soviet armored units, and the last remaining 300 tanks, were ordered to carry out a decisive counterattack.

In the artillery headquarters of the independent division, the artillery commander, Major General Zheng Yong, was answering the phone, and the call was from the forward artillery observation post, "What? Lao Maozi's tanks appeared, how many were there? Zheng Yong asked in a rough voice.

"Commander, the number of Soviet tanks, no more than three hundred, at the moment, has not entered the range of a crossfire with our tanks!"

"Okay, keep observing, and immediately provide me with the coordinates of the Soviet tank column!"

Zheng Yong rolled up his sleeves, picked up another phone, looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahaha!" The dishes sent to the door, the order, the left flank artillery group, immediately cover the Soviet tank column, against the armor-piercing shells, the right flank artillery group, continue to shell the Soviet positions, self-propelled artillery groups, cover the tank and infantry attack, to keep up with the speed of the armored group! Let's keep the tank safe. What a phenomenon! ”

Then Zheng Yong picked up another phone, "Rocket artillery group, stop shelling immediately!" Well, I haven't been addicted??? - What are you talking about, when your rocket artillery is covered, the shelling area is a sea of fire, can you still pass people? ”

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yong comfortably lit a cigarette, took a beautiful puff, and then. Leaning on the shell box, humming a small tune, listening to the rumbling cannonball, you can be as beautiful as you want, and you can see the staff officers in the command headquarters. I couldn't help but snicker.

Less than three hundred Soviet tanks appeared in front of the tanks of the separate division. Major General Qiao Zhiliang, commander of the 3rd Tank Brigade who temporarily served as the commander of the armored corps. Immediately, the spirit leader came, and shouted at the communication channel of the formation: "Attention of all brigades, the Soviet tanks have appeared, there are not many of them, and there are obviously more wolves and less meat, so all four of our brigades will go up." It was not enough points, I ordered, the 3rd and 4th brigades, to take out the Soviet tanks. The 5th and 6th brigades, continuing to cover the infantry, assaulted the depth of the Soviet positions! ”

More than 1,000 tanks of the independent division were immediately divided into two parts, one part continued to attack and attack the Soviet positions in depth, and the other part rushed towards the Soviet tank column at full speed, but before they could run a few kilometers, a piercing scream sounded in the sky, and countless large-caliber shells swept across the night sky, flew overhead, and rained down on the Soviet tank queue.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ——！ The ground shook, and a cloud of dark red fire flooded the Soviet tanks, and then, more shells flew over, blowing up the area where the Soviet tanks counterattacked into hellish terror.

The only remaining armored units of the Soviet army have the courage to fight back and the belief in death, but in the face of the intensive artillery fire of the independent division, such a counterattack seems so pale and powerless, and the Soviet tanks have not yet approached the range of the tank guns, and they are drowned by a rain of shells.

Qiao Zhiliang almost went crazy, seeing the fat on his mouth, in the blink of an eye, let the artillery snatch it, he immediately transferred the communication channel to the artillery headquarters, "I am Qiao Zhiliang, the temporary commander of the armored corps, talking to you Commander Zheng!" ”

Zheng Yong, who was enjoying the cigarettes, had staff officers in his ears, and kept shouting, "Left Wing Artillery Group, report the effect of the shelling!" "Okay, all hit the target, the Soviet tanks are destroyed, I'll report to the commander immediately!"

A staff officer ran over and reported, "Commander, Commander Joe, armored corps, ask to speak to you!" ”

Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, what kind of call, it's not because the artillery robbed them of their jobs, "I'm Zheng Yong, Brigade Commander Qiao, is there something wrong?" Zheng Yong said seriously.

Qiao Zhiliang said angrily: "Commander Zheng, according to the counterattack deployment of the division commander, the artillery is to cooperate with the armored corps, but just now, I just organized the attack, and the result is that your brother is good, a meal of artillery shells, more than 300 Soviet tanks, all reimbursed, what are you?" I'd like to hear you explain to me! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to my subordinates! ”

Zheng Yong was not happy and said, "Explanation? What do I explain? The artillery also has the responsibility of destroying Lao Maozi's tank, and in the counterattack order of the division commander, it is stipulated that Lao Maozi's tank has to be fought by your armored soldiers, and before that, wasn't it killed by the infantry, why don't you ask them to explain, I do my own job, there is nothing to explain! ”

Qiao Zhiliang was so angry that he was about to scold, and shouted: "Okay, you Zheng Yong, it's not unreasonable, I'll find the teacher to comment!" ”

Zheng Yong's face was relaxed, and he replied: "Listen to it!" Then, "Click" hung up.

Qiao Zhiliang's face was pale, looking at the intercom, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time, and then he thought about it, yes, there was really no place to reason, so he sprinkled all the anger in his belly on the heads of the Soviet infantry, "Attention of all brigades, all Soviet tanks have been annihilated, and all brigades are regimental units, at the fastest speed, assault Soviet infantry, let the artillery see, how are our tanks beating Lao Maozi!" ”

The other three brigade commanders, who still couldn't hear the meaning of Qiao Zhiliang's words, were all full of energy, more than 1,000 tanks, divided into more than a dozen roads, the engines roared, the tracks were "rolling", and the muzzles of the guns were spewing tongues of fire, and they slammed into the depth of the Soviet army.

Under the ferocious attack of the frontal assault troops of the independent division, the third army of the Soviet army collapsed first, and the troops of more than 50,000 people were smashed to pieces, and soon they were divided and surrounded by the troops of the four brigades of the independent division.

At the rear of the battlefield, on a high ground overlooking the entire battlefield, several military tents were set up in the sparse pine forest, which was where the headquarters of the independent division was located.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe put down the phone, "Division commander, after receiving a report from the frontal counterattack force, a situation of division and encirclement has been formed against the Soviet troops blocking us. ”

"In addition, the second echelon of the Soviet army, about the strength of one army, carried out a ferocious counterattack on the left and right flanks of our troops, and the battle was extremely fierce, because there was no large number of heavy artillery and tanks, and it was impossible to completely suppress the counterattack of the Soviet army, and the battle was not progressing quickly, and the Soviet troops of about an army were quickly breaking away from the battlefield and breaking through in the direction of the Ural Mountains!"

"Lose the pawn to protect the car, that Bamiyanov's reaction is quite fast!" Tang Qiuli secretly thought to himself, in fact, the battlefield situation at this moment gave him a problem.

If the total annihilation of the divided and encircled Soviet army, with the four brigades of the frontal counterattack, has an advantage in strength, it will not be a problem, and the four brigades on the left and right flanks will drag and finally kill the Soviet army that counterattacked, it is only a matter of time, no more than tomorrow morning, but the Soviet army of the last army will retreat in its entirety, and the command organ of the Soviet army will definitely highlight the encirclement, it is a whole Soviet army, let it go, it is a pity!

Tang Qiuli's half-closed eyes opened suddenly, a cold light flashed, Huo Ran stood up, and said: "Yuhe, convey my order, the seventh and eighth brigades of the frontal assault force, and the sixth tank brigade, annihilate the divided and surrounded Soviet troops in place." ”

"The 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Tank Brigade, don't get entangled, quickly assault the Soviet Army in depth, catch up with the retreating Soviet Army, the 3rd Brigade of the Left Wing Army, and the 5th Brigade of the Right Wing Army, immediately get out of the current battlefield and carry out parallel pursuit of the retreating Soviet Army, specific tactics, or interception layer by layer, to eliminate the Soviet Army to the greatest extent."

"The 4th and 5th Tank Brigades will immediately reinforce the 4th and 6th Infantry Brigades on the left and right flanks at the fastest speed, and cooperate with the annihilation of the Soviet army in this department.

Tang Qiuli's style of play, some adventures, especially the troops on the left and right flanks, each with a brigade, to withstand the counterattack of the Soviet army, will definitely fight very hard, if you don't get it right, the second army of the Soviet army, it is possible to break out of the encirclement, however, Tang Qiuli obviously took this into account, and transferred the two tank brigades over to increase the assault force, but this will take time, before the tank troops arrive, the remaining two brigades on the left and right flanks will bear the great pressure of the counterattack of the second army of the Soviet army.

In the final analysis, it is still limited by the lack of troops, and can only adopt the method of blocking on one side and attacking on both sides, otherwise, surrounded on all sides and a tight pocket formation, the 43rd Group Army of the Soviet Army will definitely not be able to escape with wings!

Tang Qiuli had a deeper concern, if the part of the Soviet army that broke through was not hit by Yan Zòng and was unscathed, after the battle was over, when the directly subordinate corps began to withdraw from Minusinsk, it would definitely be this part of the Soviet army that would be the first to turn around and pursue.

The Soviet army of just one army is not terrible, but behind it, the Soviet troops of hundreds of thousands of people in the four armies that can arrive in two days, as well as the more than one million Soviet troops on the southern front, will swarm in.

Once you are dragged back in the pace of retreat, in the future, it will definitely be difficult for you, so even if it is an adventure, you must give a heavy blow!
