Chapter 2100: Responding to Orders (Part II)
Seeing Fu Dechun's eyes blinking, obviously moved, Ren Zhaoquan was even more proud, "Hey, think about it, how many troops are there in the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, let's not take advantage of the opportunity to block the Soviet army in Gurban Saihan with three brigades, and when their follow-up troops come up, can it be our turn to shoot?" Dechun, do you want to fight this battle? Ren Zhaoquan asked seductively, and there was some agitation.
Colonel Fu Dechun, chief of staff, of course, hoped to fight, and began to believe in the brigade commander's words, according to the brigade commander, if he didn't fight this battle, he would be sorry for himself, so the two of them were in the armored command vehicle to study how they could snatch a defensive area from the hands of the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.
However, neither Ren Zhaoquan nor Chief of Staff Fu Dechun thought that the battlefield of Gurbansai Khan at this moment was by no means as easy as the two imagined, and the blocking positions of the three brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were already in danger everywhere, especially the position of the Third Brigade, which was crumbling and could be broken through by the Soviet Army at any time.
When he turned over a hill in front of him, and was still more than ten kilometers away from Gurbansai Khan, Ren Zhaoquan heard the sound of gunfire and explosions that he couldn't tell, and his heart itched, "Ho! The fight is lively enough, Dechun, order all regiments, speed up, the heavy artillery regiment is within the firing range, immediately build a firing position, don't be in time to catch up with the excitement, run back in vain! He said eagerly.
Ren Zhaoquan patted the driver's shoulder, "Speed up and get ahead of the troops!" With a roar, a puff of smoke came out, and like an arrow, the armored command vehicle rushed up the hill. The guard troops behind hurriedly followed, and a dozen vehicles rushed to the front of the troops with smoke and dust all the way.
Ren Zhaoquan had his own plan, to climb the hill before the troops, so as to observe the situation on the battlefield, and to arrange the troops in that position, which was a job to study command ability, after climbing the hill. He jumped out of the car, raised his binoculars, and condescendedly saw the battlefield of Gurbansai Khan as if it were a pot. After watching it for less than three minutes, Ren Zhaoquan's face changed greatly. Take a gasp. Exclaimed, "Not good! ”
As an experienced and veteran commander, after a great battle, he could see at a glance the seriousness of the problem, and the defense line of the three brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps was precarious. It will be broken through by the Soviet army at any time, and the fortifications are dug by the troops under their own command, and there are the key points of defense, which are all in the head. The main direction of the Soviet offensive was precisely that small hill, which was the support point of nearly a third of the blocking line.
In the telescopic lens, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps wearing camouflage uniforms and the Soviet soldiers wearing grass-green uniforms are mixed together, obviously, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps are in a state of inadequacy, and what is even more strict is that in front of the position, about a dozen kilometers away, more Soviet soldiers are surging over like a turbid wave.
Ren Zhaoquan's face turned white at that time, according to the fortifications he commanded the troops to build, the fortification and defensive deployment, as long as the troops were properly distributed, they should not have been broken through so quickly by the Soviet army? "What the hell is this fighting?" Ren Zhaoquan gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Dechun, order, the heavy artillery regiment will build a firing position on the spot, the focus of the artillery bombardment is the follow-up troops of the Soviet army, if you can't blow up the old Mao Zibing into two parts that don't care about each other, the regiment commander will see me with his head up, and order, all troops in the whole brigade, don't get out of the car, immediately join the battlefield at the fastest speed, the target, the left side of the defensive line, the place where the melee is most intense, be sure to beat the Soviet army out! Let's go! Ren Zhaoquan ordered hurriedly.
The 11th Brigade of the Corps directly under it, more than 18,000 soldiers, with an unstoppable murderous aura, indomitable morale, and a violent wind, swept towards the chaotic battlefield, what kind of troops is the 11th Brigade?
From the day the establishment of the Bloody Hand Regiment, the predecessor of the independent division, it fought a bloody battle for four years with the Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the "flower of the imperial army", between the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, in the high mountains and dense forests, and then under the command of the division commander Tang Qiuli, he participated in the battle of recovering North China and Pingjin, the first Outer Mongolia War, all the way south, fighting the battlefield of the Indochina Peninsula, and sweeping the West Indies.
I have fought with the Japanese army, fought with the Soviet army, fought with the British army, rarely met the enemy, the blocker was invincible, there was a fierce and murderous spirit from the bones, the white-edged charge of the little devil, the spirit of bushido, the armored cluster of the Soviet army had been encountered, and the British army's style of play had been experienced, whether it was hand-to-hand combat with close combat, or ambush warfare, and then there was a big detour, a large outflanking battle, and a hard-hitting positional blocking battle, that is not handy, that kind of has not been experienced countless times!
More than 17,000 tigers and fierce men, with fierce lights in their eyes, did not shout, let alone shout, and joined the war group with their heads bored, and the fighting style was absolutely ruthless and sophisticated, in a group of three or five people, surrounded a few Soviet soldiers, and went up to be a submachine gun bullet, and those who could use guns would never fight bayonets, and solved this part, and then solved the other part, and each group covered and cooperated with each other, and never dizzy and disrupted the battle.
The Soviet soldiers who rushed into the position of the Third Brigade were violently impacted by this new force with amazing combat effectiveness, and they all screamed and fell to the ground, and after more than 20 minutes of effort, more than 10,000 Soviet soldiers who broke through the position of the Third Brigade fell in the trenches, and the rest, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately began to retreat, and in the face of this gang of killing gods, it was impossible to resist!
On a high ground behind the charging troops, Lieutenant General Hippoliv, commander of the 37th Soviet Army, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, saw that the second wave of daredevils had already rushed to the position of the independent division. He thought to himself.
What made him happy was not only this, from the north of Seyinshanda, after being attacked by the artillery of the Independent Division, he was chased and beaten by the troops of the Independent Division all the way, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath, and the wolf statue of the 37th Group Army didn't want to think about it anymore, and almost ran and vomited blood!
Now, there is finally a chance to bite the troops of the independent division fiercely, out of the evil breath in my heart, breaking through the blocking line of the independent division troops in Gurbansai Khan, blocking the Chinese whose own troops withdraw to Kulen, there is absolutely no reason to survive, there is no need to deliberately encircle and annihilate, and there is not so much time to delay here, 890,000 troops, piggybacking by, eating less than 50,000 independent division troops, is not a problem.
However, what happened next obviously shattered the illusion in the heart of Comrade Commander, from the rear of the position of the independent division, suddenly killed a unit and joined the battlefield, Lieutenant General Hippoliv was so frightened that his heart beat wildly, he thought that this was the other troops pursued by the independent division arrived, but it was not like, but about 20,000 people, and the troops of the independent division that were in hot pursuit, the strength did not match, but the troops of the independent division that came out of it?
Lieutenant General Hippoliv couldn't figure out in any case, that it was this force of 20,000 or so independent divisions that suddenly came out of nowhere, and the situation on the battlefield of Gurbansai Khan immediately changed.
Looking at the daredevils who were beaten to give up the breakthrough they had already occupied, turned around and ran back, the cold sweat on Lieutenant General Hippoliv's head suddenly broke out, "It's a failure!" This terrible thought popped into his mind!
"No!" Lieutenant General Hippoliv was not reconciled, "Order, the follow-up troops, the 53rd Army, all press, continue to charge, and take back the breakthrough!" He commanded hoarsely, gambling on his last ditch.
The Soviet soldiers who invaded the position were all beaten out, Ren Zhaoquan jumped into the trench with a submachine gun with a hot barrel, and the chief of staff Fu Dechun ran over, "Report to the brigade commander, the Soviet army has been repulsed, and the commanders of each regiment ask for instructions, do you take the opportunity to fight a counterattack?" ”
Ren Zhaoquan shook his head decisively, "Don't pursue, order the troops, and immediately take over the position of the 13th Brigade, where is Brigade Commander Rao?" Dechun, immediately contact Brigade Commander Rao, the troops of the 3rd Brigade, to support the positions of the other two brigades, here, handed over to our 11th Brigade! ”
Chief of Staff Fu Dechun's face darkened, and he replied: "Brigade commander, I went to the headquarters of the third brigade just now, Brigade Commander Rao was seriously injured and is dying, the troops are under the command of the chief of staff!" ”
"What? Bastard! Ren Zhaoquan roared, his face was pale, the green tendons on his temples burst out, and he turned around a few times, looking at the soldiers of the Third Brigade who were covered in blood and wounded, sitting on the edge of the trench, panting, and unable to stand up, a hand-to-hand battle of life and death, exhausted all their bodies and energy, and they were so tired that they were like closing their eyes and getting a good night's sleep, which was the exhaustion of coming back from the edge of life and death, both physically and mentally.
Looking at the soldiers of the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps and the soldiers and officers of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, they didn't even have the strength to say thank you, they could only look at them with grateful eyes, if they hadn't appeared, they would be a bloody corpse now.
The muscles on Ren Zhaoquan's cheeks bulged from time to time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Dechun, see it, the Soviet army will definitely not give up, next, there is still a fierce battle to fight, the troops enter the position, prepare to meet the battle, arrange for the troops of the third brigade to withdraw, order the field hospital stretcher team, carry the wounded of the third brigade down, how to treat it, I don't need to say more!" ”
