Tang Qiuli was stunned, Ren Zhaoquan, who has always been quick to speak, how could he look like he wanted to speak and stopped today, Delun, who arrived with the command of the protection division, is normal, after all, there was an incident with the Soviet army, whether it was Ren Zhaoquan or Chen Han, they were not at ease, they did not let their troops protect at any time, it was impossible to agree, but Ren Zhaoquan's words were obviously not finished, what did they mean?

"Huh?" Tang Qiuli looked at Ren Zhaoquan suspiciously, "Ren Zhaoquan, when did you learn to swallow and vomit, isn't this your style, if you have anything to say, say it happily!" He said with a raised eyebrow.

Ren Zhaoquan swallowed his spit, "Division commander, I and Brigade Commander Chen Han agreed that you and the division headquarters cannot go to Delun, the reason is very simple, it is extremely dangerous, the troops of our two brigades have to face the Soviet troops from two directions at the same time, whose strength exceeds us by more than ten times, and their respective defensive positions cannot be too far apart, otherwise, it is not convenient to support each other, so the distance between the positions of the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade is not more than 15 kilometers, which is the best defense method that Chen Han and I can take." ”

Tang Qiuli nodded, and said with appreciation: "Yes, you two think very comprehensively, the two brigades are back to back, the distance is too far, it is not convenient to support each other, but, this is the reason why you oppose me going to Delun?" The last sentence was strongly questioned.

Ren Zhaoquan also let go of his courage and replied: "No, division commander, the crux of the problem is that Delun is in the middle of our position, and the Soviet army in any direction, large-caliber artillery, can completely cover Delun, and the division command is located in Delun, which in itself is your own safety and irresponsibility, not to mention, after the fight." Are Chen Han and I busy taking care of Shi Zhi, or are we busy blocking the Soviet army?

"Let's be honest, the division commander set up a headquarters in Delun, it was a wrong decision, let us be distracted! Therefore, please return to Seyinshanda, and my reinforced regiment will return with you, so as to protect the safety of the division on the road! Ren Zhaoquan also let go of the words in his stomach. All the brains poured out.

Zhao Yuhe secretly stretched out his thumb towards Ren Zhaoquan, and Ren Zhaoquan was even more encouraged, "Master, you should accept our opinion!" Don't go your own way! He added.

Tang Qiuli stared at Ren Zhaoquan. There was half a cigarette of effort, and it made Ren Zhaoquan's heart furious. The hands rubbed each other nervously. I didn't know where to put it, but suddenly, Tang Qiuli was furious and shouted, "Okay, you Ren Zhaoquan!" Learn to be rhetorical, do you mean that I am a burden to you and Chen Han? I set up my headquarters in Delen. You and Chen Han can't fight, right? ”

Tang Qiuli's sudden roar frightened Ren Zhaoquan and shook his hands wildly. Incoherently explained, "That's not what it meant...... What does that mean...... Right...... What's that, division commander...... You, what you know in your heart...... I! ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Ren Zhaoquan, who was stammering and explaining, and was secretly happy in his heart. couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay Ren Zhaoquan, don't explain, I take care of your mood, the division commander and your troops set off together, I don't believe it, the strength of the two main field brigades of nearly 40,000 people can't protect my Tang Qiuli's safety?" ”

Ren Zhaoquan looked at Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe as if asking for help, hoping that he would stand up and speak for himself and jointly stop the division commander's decision, Zhao Yuhe shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, more drastic methods than this have been taken, and even the second and third people of the independent division have been used, those two big guys, aren't they useless?

In fact, Tang Qiuli's heart knew that Zhao Yuhe and Ren Zhaoquan's opposition was absolutely reasonable, the Soviet army that retreated from the defeat of Saiyin Shanda, and the Soviet army that went south from Kulun to meet were very likely to meet on the front line of Delun, to put it mildly, the division headquarters and the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade were dumpling stuffing, and he would never want this situation to appear.

If he was in such a dangerous environment, he would not have asked Tang Qiuli to fight to the death with the Soviet troops who exceeded his strength by more than ten times, and if necessary, he would have issued an order to evacuate the Delun line.

For the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, the difficulty of the two Soviet armies coming together to solve it is not ordinarily large, it will be a protracted entanglement, so that the battle in the central part of Outer Mongolia does not know when it will be delayed, from the Far East to Outer Mongolia, across the battlefield of thousands of kilometers, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can not end the battle quickly, free up their hands, support other directions, just rely on the two brigades in their hands, it is far from enough!

Of course, according to the situation on the battlefield, Tang Qiuli could judge that the Soviet army in Kulen would be later than the 37th Soviet Army that had retreated from the defeat of Seyinshanda, and in two or three days, because the Soviet army in Kulen could not figure out the situation and would never dare to move rashly, and would be afraid of being beaten, there would be no situation in which the troops of the two brigades on the front line of Zài Delun would resist the enemy at the same time in the north and south.

However, in the event of an unexpected situation, or in other words, Sun Zhenbang's troops never blocked the 37th Soviet Army, and the passage to Kulen was intercepted, and the situation on the local battlefield became clear, and the Soviet army in Kulen would inevitably be dispatched to save the 37th Group Army, that is, to save themselves.

Therefore, the key to the battle is whether the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can encircle and annihilate the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army in the area south of Delun at the fastest speed, Tang Qiuli put himself in a dangerous place, and he is also putting pressure on Sun Zhenbang and Batel in disguise.

In this way, it is entirely possible to encircle and annihilate the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army south of Delun at the fastest speed, and it will be much easier to turn around and besiege the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army from Kulen, and it will be much easier to solve the problem.

For the troops of the independent division, the greatest pressure was not Vasilevsky's troops of the Outer Mongolian Front, which were eager to get out of the Outer Mongolian battlefield, but the troops of the three front armies under the command of Zhukov who came from the Far East.

Near noon, under the protection of Ren Zhaoquan's reinforced regimental troops, Tang Qiuli arrived at Delun, the commander of the 12th Brigade, Chen Han, and the chief of staff of the division commander who had arrived at Delun in advance, Ge Zhenzhuang, on the east side of the town, looking forward to it, and they were all relieved to see the division commander arrive safely.

Next, Ren Zhaoquan and Chen Han began to have a nerve-wracking situation, the division commander's decision could not be changed, they could only work safety, the two of them transferred all the engineers of their respective troops, and dug a luxurious-level shelter department for the division headquarters in Delun Town, according to the estimate of Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, even if it was hit by thousands of large-caliber shells of the Soviet army, it would be safe and sound.

When Tang Qiuli led the division headquarters to Delun, Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, who was intercepting and pursuing the Soviet 37th Group Army on both sides, lost his temper in the armored command car, and ran with the Soviet army for a day and a night.

"What? The troops marched in a hurry, the soldiers were too tired, you say it again, I tell you, it's not the time to complain and cry tired, when will the Soviet army be blocked, count it as a great achievement for your two wing troops, let the Soviet army escape back to Kulen, the first battle we fought, even if it fails, I can't afford to lose this person, the corps from top to bottom, that one has rested, and he is not tired? You're tired,! ”

"Instructions? What instructions, I will just say a word, pursuit, continuous pursuit regardless of fatigue, running and breaking legs, but also to catch up with the Soviet army! To do it, you have to intercept it! ”

Putting down the walkie-talkie microphone, Sun Zhenbang took out the kettle, poured it up violently, put down the kettle, exhaled comfortably, rubbed his bloodshot eyes that had not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and then asked Chief of Staff Wang Jun, "Chief of Staff, what is Commander Battle's opinion?" Where is he now? ”

Wang Jun replied: "Commander, the opinion of the Pakistani commander is that we should order the pursuing troops on both flanks to continue to speed up, not to entangle with the small scattered Soviet troops, and slow down the offensive of the frontal pursuit troops, otherwise, the tighter we fight head-on, the faster the Soviet army will run, just came to the call, the Ba commander commands the tank troops, and is directing to break through the Soviet army's blocking line at a position of more than 50 kilometers in front of us!" ”

"Alas!" Sighing, Wang Jun continued: "Pursuing the troops head-on, like a bamboo, is a good thing, but it has caused great difficulties to the troops pursuing in parallel on both wings, not exceeding the distance of dozens of kilometers of the Soviet army, unable to establish a blocking line, from here to Kulen along the way, and there is no favorable terrain conditions that can be used, so how can the troops on both wings fight?" ”

Sun Zhenbang also sighed, and said with a wry smile: "The Soviet army was defeated and retreated too quickly, unexpectedly, damn the road conditions, mechanized vehicles can't be used, just rely on the two feet of the soldiers, alas, if Commander Liu Chun's cavalry troops are there, it would be good, four cavalry brigades, it is not a problem to block the Soviet army for a few hours, it only takes a few hours, and it has been chased for a day and a night, but it can't be snatched back!" It's so depressing! ”

At this time, the car of the Corps' communications office stopped in front of Sun Zhenbang's car, and the director of the communications department came up a few steps.

"Commander, chief of staff, after receiving an urgent report on the battle situation from Chief of Staff Zhao, the division commander personally commanded the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps to establish a blocking line on the front line of Delun, preparing to reject the Soviet army in the direction of Kulen in the north, and block the Soviet army pursuing us in the south, Chief of Staff Zhao asked our corps to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army on the line south of Delun!"
