Since they entered the battlefield, they could not hear any guns, but it was like a battle, traces of a long time ago, that is, last night, the Soviet army had already passed through the place, and there had been a fierce battle with the troops directly under the rear chase.

"Yuhe, do you have any reports on the situation of the various troops?" Tang Qiuli asked.

Zhao Yuhe turned around and said: "Division commander, as soon as it is normal, all units will carry out the battle according to the predetermined plan, and the troops going to the Tangnu Mountains and the Ural Mountains will make smooth progress, and the commander of the cavalry unit Liu Chun will call to report that by this evening at the latest, they will be able to approach the periphery of Minusinsk." ”

"But our troops on the left flank of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front pursued continuous battles with the Soviet army, division commander, you see, our current position is the unit of the commander of the fourth brigade of the corps Chu Ziye, at about 0:00 last night, biting a division of the Soviet army's rear guard unit, fighting fiercely for more than three hours, and severely damaging the battlefield of the Soviet army, while you were resting, I got out of the car to check, the Soviet army retreated in a very hurry, the corpses did not have time to bury, and the wounded did not have time to take away!"

Tang Qiuli suddenly realized and said: "No wonder, when I met Chu Ziye, even if the Soviet army of this division was unlucky, Vasilevsky kept leaving part of the blocking troops in his rear to get rid of our entanglement, and the eagerness to get out of the battlefield is a reason, but there are also some strong men who break their wrists, it can be seen that Stalin gave him a death order!" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, according to the five brigades of our Soviet army's left flank, the battle situation reported on the surface, the situation is like this, because Vasilevsky is constantly arranging the blocking line, and the pursuit troops are not moving fast, is it not an order for the troops. Do not be entangled by the blocking forces of the Soviet troops, slow down the pace of pursuit, quickly interspersed? ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head again and again, "Yuhe, don't do this, we are using the tactics of stalking and fighting, five brigades of more than 100,000 people, chasing more than 1 million people of the Soviet army, it was originally a small fight and a big one, risking great danger." The pursuit is too fierce, if the Soviet army comes back and forth, and is bitten by the Soviet army, the gains outweigh the losses, and sue the troops. Don't be in a hurry, a bite is a bite. Keep a safe distance from the main forces of the Soviet troops. ”

Said here. Tang Qiuli's face became stern, and he said in an accentuated tone: "Remember, tail chasing is not interception, and you must not be greedy for merit, and all brigade commanders must understand this." Yuhe, you immediately give my order to the five brigade commanders in charge of the pursuit! ”

The division commander's armored command vehicle stopped, and the convoy stopped. Zhao Yuhe stared at the cold wind and ran towards the car at the communication office, taking this opportunity, Tang Qiuli also jumped out of the car, stretched out and sat in the car all night, his body was a little stiff, he took a deep breath of cold air, and his mind was clear.

The sun is new, but you can't feel the slightest warmth, the cold wind in the north of Outer Mongolia, unscrupulously blowing through the desolate and vast wilderness, rolling up snow and dust, flying aimlessly, fluffy and withered grass, shivering in the cold wind, compared with the northern grassland of Outer Mongolia in summer, there is a breath of slaughter, and the battlefield where the war has been extinguished, constitute a very discordant and strange picture.

The howling cold wind blew the corner of Tang Qiu's coat, his gaze swept across the gray sky, looking into the distance, Zhao Yuhe ran back, saw that the division commander was not wearing a hat, he stood in the whistling cold wind, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, the weather is too cold, you still go in the car, worry about your body!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled unmindfully, "Yuhe, don't think of me as so weak, when I was in the Northeast, it was a cold day of more than 40 degrees below zero, and I still lay down in the snow nest all night, after the Japanese Kwantung Army appeared, the war did not affect at all, I don't believe you ask the mountain tiger!" ”

Tang Qiuli turned his head, "Huh? I remember that when I got out of the car, the mountain tiger also followed, and in the blink of an eye, where did this guy go?

"Da Da Da!" In the distance, there was a dense burst of gunfire faintly in the wind, Tang Qiuli raised the binoculars vigilantly and looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, more than a dozen special guards, almost at the same time, beside him, formed a human wall, and the muzzle of the submachine gun in his hand was facing outward, not only Tang Qiuli heard the gunshot, but the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe also heard it, and hurriedly ordered the special guards: "Quick, cover the division commander on the armored command car!" ”

Tang Qiu didn't see anything, but the gunshots were getting closer and closer, "It's the scattered troops of the Soviet Army, I didn't expect it, let us run into it," he made a judgment in an instant, said with some excitement, took a few steps onto the armored command vehicle, picked up the submachine gun, pushed the bullet with a "bang", and shouted: "Special Guard detachment, prepare to fight!" Ha ha! It's been a long time since I've smelled gunsmoke, so let's kill it today! ”

Zhao Yuhe also came to the same judgment, different from Tang Qiuli's excitement and eagerness, his anxious face turned white, and he yelled at the special guards: "Didn't you hear my words? Protect the division commander to get into the car, do not let the division commander participate in the battle, carry out the order! ”

When the special guards came up, they were about to hug Tang Qiu and get on the armored command car, but they were forced back by his stern gaze, Zhao Yuhe saw this, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and said regardless of it: "Division commander, I must be responsible for your safety, you are irresponsible, there are guard brigades and two guard battalions, do you need to go into battle in person?" ”

But Tang Qiu was willing to leave there, and just when there was a stalemate, Shanhu carried a heavy machine gun in his hand, and ran over quickly, not panting, his face was not red, and he said quite calmly: "The division commander, the chief of staff, and the third detachment of the guard brigade in charge of the avant-garde, found a group of Soviet stragglers, numbering about six or seven thousand, and encountered and had a fierce battle with us. ”

"Now, I have ordered the three detachments of the guard brigade, the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade guard battalion to press up, Chief of Staff, you command the fourth and fifth detachments of the guard brigade, the special guard detachment, the protection division commander and the division commander personnel, retreat immediately, I will stay and command the troops, clean up this Soviet army, let's meet in Delun!"

As the mountain tiger spoke, the gunfire became more and more intense, and as it got closer and closer, Tang Qiuli was furious and roared: "Huzi, you are blindly commanding, our guard brigade plus two guard battalions has a strength of only more than 4,000 people, but the Soviet army is six or seven thousand people, although it is a straggler, but the combat strength is there, at this time, you have to divide half of the troops to protect me, nonsense!" ”

Shanhu glared at him, and he wanted to refute, Tang Qiuli's face was as cold as the cold wind outside, and he said undoubtedly: "Now I order, revoke the captain of the Huangshan Tiger Brigade, command the command of this encounter, and I personally command, the fifth detachment of the guard brigade, responsible for covering the chief of staff and the organs directly under the division, withdraw to Delun, join the eleventh and twelfth brigades, and the rest of the troops, participate in the battle!" ”

Seeing that the faces of Shanhu and Zhao Yuhe were very ugly, Tang Qiuli smiled lightly and said as if to ease the atmosphere: "Don't pull a face, isn't it just six or seven thousand Soviet stragglers, in my hands, but there is one of the most elite troops of the independent division, why, Captain Huang, has no confidence in your guard brigade?" ”

It's one thing to laugh and make fun in ordinary times, but Tang Qiuli, as a division commander, gave an order, but it was another matter, his order, no one dared to oppose it, including the mountain tiger, and Tang Qiuli said it very correctly, although the guard brigade was well-trained, brave and good at fighting, but after all, the number was less than that of the Soviet army, plus two guard battalions were not successful, and after an encounter, the casualties were very large, and at this time, it was important not to disperse the troops.

Shanhu's face changed drastically, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said that the division commander would not move, of course, Shanhu could take coercive measures and order the special guards to leave Tang Qiu and put him in the car, but the current situation, Xiaoqiu is like an angry lion, not letting him fight this battle, it is estimated that he will not play with himself for the rest of his life, Shanhu weighed the danger Cheng Dù, gritted his teeth, and said with a straight face: "Division commander, you can stay and command the troops, but you must be under the protection of the special guard detachment, and you must listen to my command!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled happily at that time, and nodded again and again, but he didn't expect that this guy Shanhu was quite open-minded, "Okay, listen to you, the special guard will protect me with me, and I will also obey your command, immediately order the rest of the troops to go up, Yuhe, you go and organize the evacuation of the organs!" ”

Zhao Yuhe hurriedly left, at this time, the sound of gunfire and explosions, more and more intense, and gradually approached the location of the convoy, suddenly encountered, neither side thought that there would be a sudden meeting, if it was an independent division of the army passing by, it would have been scattered, and it had become a frightened bird of the Soviet army, how far it would run, and it would move forward, it was looking for their own death!

However, what I see now is a convoy of the independent division, and there are not too many troops to escort it, so naturally I have the courage to try my luck, and looking at the size of the convoy, even if it is an ordinary Soviet soldier, I can judge that this is a command organ of the Chinese army.

After being chased and beaten by the troops of the Independent Division for more than two days, these Soviet soldiers had long been holding back an evil fire in their stomachs, and they were excited when they thought about having the opportunity to kill one of the command organs of the Independent Division, so six or seven thousand Soviet stragglers began to attack the convoy with their lives.

Under the attack of the Soviet soldiers on three sides, the three detachments and two guard battalions of the guard brigade could not withstand the attack of the Soviet army, and were forced to gradually shrink the defensive line and protect the convoy tightly in the middle.

A detachment leader ran over and said something to the mountain tiger, and the mountain tiger's eyes immediately turned red, and he said coldly to more than a dozen special guards, "What should I do, I don't need to say more!" If the division commander breaks a little bit of skin - hum! ”

Then, with a wave of his hand, the remaining detachments of the guard brigade swept past the two men and rushed towards the battlefield where the guns were roaring.
