Sun Zhenbang was absolutely unwilling to leave the front line of the Sejingge River like this, but he knew better that with his current injuries, he was no longer able to command this battle with a huge disparity in strength and a high level of importance, and the division commander would not agree, no matter what the situation, it was an unchangeable fact that he was transferred to Kulen.

The kind of loss, unwillingness and regret in his heart that he was forced to leave the combat post, and took advantage of this battle to fight the desire of the former hero, which became a bubble, and the pain tortured his heart, which was ten million times more painful than the physical pain, Sun Zhenbang felt that he was a deserter!

Meng Zhaoxu went to send a telegram to the division commander to report Sun Zhenbang's injury, there were only two young nurses and a few correspondents around him, Sun Zhenbang had a lot to say, but he didn't know who to say.

He called to the nurse in a weak tone, told the female nurse, called a few staff officers to come over, and after a while, a few staff officers came over, and Sun Zhenbang ordered: "Tell me about the situation of the forward position immediately!" ”

A captain's staff officer replied: "Commander, the battlefield is calm for the time being, and the position is still in our hands, but, on the north bank of the Sesagoge River, the follow-up units of the Soviet army, judging by their actions, are about to start crossing the river!" You can rest assured that Section Chief Meng has already called the brigade commanders, and the troops are fully mentally prepared for this. ”

Sun Zhenbang nodded, even those slight actions just now also made his eyes black for a while, panting heavily, Meng Zhaoxu came back, Sun Zhenbang asked in a weak voice: "The division commander wants to send me back to the rear?" ”

Meng Zhaoxu nodded and said, "The division commander specially instructed that for the sake of safety, you must be transferred to the rear after dark." ”

Sun Zhenbang took a breath and said, "Chaoxu." The follow-up troops of the Soviet army are about to start crossing the river to attack, you report this situation to the division commander! ”

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the follow-up troops of the Soviet army began to cross the river, and on the wide river, the assault boats rowed quickly to the south bank, without overwhelming mortar shells and dense light and heavy machine gun bullets. Only sparse rifle bullets, doing a stubborn resistance, the second wave of attacking Soviet troops, apparently very lucky, almost did not suffer any blows. The assault boat in the lead approached the river beach on the south bank.

And the Soviet tanks that were responsible for the cover of fire. Unhurriedly, a low-trajectory shell will be fired. Hit on the position of the independent division, every shot, will bring casualties to the fighters on the position, the four infantry brigades in the front, light and heavy machine gun fire points. About ninety percent of them were destroyed by Soviet tanks, and every time a heavy machine gun began to fire, it would attract more than a dozen tank shells, the flesh and blood of the soldiers. In the sound of the explosion, it turned into a rain of blood.

Wang Qingshan, commander of the First Infantry Brigade, saw that his eyes were on fire, he and his guard company had all stared at the position of the first battalion in the front, which was one of the key offensive targets of the Soviet army, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, he had to give an order, leaving a few light and heavy machine guns, stop shooting, looking at the Soviet assault boats almost all over the river, his heart was tense for a while, with infantry light weapons, can he block the Soviet army's attack again?

Not only was the Soviet army's assault boat very fast, but also the Soviet sappers began to erect pontoon bridges again, Wang Qingshan said to a battalion commander beside him: "Organize soldiers with good marksmanship to fight Lao Maozi's assault boats, by the way, the shooters should scatter and shoot, don't be found by the Soviet tanks!" ”

Soon, on the position of the Outer Mongolian border guards, there was a messy and sparse sound of rifle shooting, many Soviet assault boats were leaked, and the Soviet soldiers on it turned over and fell into the water, and were immediately swept away by the torrent, but more assault boats began to speed up, and the light and heavy machine guns mounted on them began to spit out tongues of fire, suppressing the shooting of the rifle shooters, and the Soviet tank guns were never stingy with shells, even if they found a soldier of an independent division, they had to send a few shells.

Wang Qingshan gritted his teeth and instructed the battalion commander: "Order the soldiers of the whole battalion to prepare twenty grenades each, and Lao Maozi will not let us show our heads, so use grenades to greet!" ”

Soon, a small number of follow-up Soviet troops had already landed on the river beach, and on the positions of the independent division, dense gunfire sounded, which attracted more frantic shelling by Soviet tanks, and the Soviet soldiers on the beachhead foothold began to shoot with light and heavy machine guns, and the dense bullets hit the edge of the trench, making the position dusty and raising puffs of smoke and dust.

Wang Qingshan knew that with the existing heavy weapons and firepower of the first battalion, it was no longer possible to stop the follow-up Soviet troops from landing on the river beach, and the two Soviet troops would meet together, and it would definitely be another vicious battle, but it was a pity that the troops in his hands were already stretched, otherwise, a counter-assault could also suppress the arrogance of the Soviet army, or if he commanded the troops of the old foundation, he would also fight a beautiful counterattack.

Thinking of this, Wang Qingshan shook his head, feeling ridiculous for his unrealistic thoughts, the density of troops on the forward position has been reduced by about one-third, and it turned out that the blocking position of many company-level troops, after several fierce battles, the strength of the guards was only two platoons.

At this time, a communication soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back quickly ran to his side and said, "Brigade commander, the command wants to talk to you!" ”

Wang Qingshan picked up the microphone and said, "I'm Wang Qingshan, please speak at the headquarters!" ”

"Brigade Commander Wang, after receiving the order of the division commander, the reserves hidden on the front line of the rocky mountain are all put into battle, and the command has ordered the troops to move up immediately, and our bomber group is about to arrive, and a special person will be sent to be responsible for instructing the bombing target!" It was Meng Zhaoxu, chief of the Operations Section of the Command Headquarters, who spoke.

Wang Qingshan laughed and said: "Knowing that Section Chief Meng, I was thinking about a good thing, and the reinforcements came, not only on the ground, but also the bombers in the sky came to help, this battle is easy to fight, please tell the commander, my old Wang's position, to ensure that not an inch of land is lost!" ”

"Correspondent! Correspondent! Wang Qingshan stared at the Soviet troops on the river and the beach, and shouted loudly.

A few communicators ran over, and Wang Qingshan ordered: "Immediately notify other troops to instruct our bombers to bomb targets, mainly Soviet tanks, and blow them up fiercely, and overturn those iron turtles into the river. ”

On the north bank of the Sejingge River, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirnenko, reported to General Kulygin, "Comrade commander, the second attack echelon is progressing smoothly, the resistance encountered is very weak, the three regiments of the vanguard have landed on the river beach on the south bank, and the remaining three regiments are also moving to the opposite bank, and according to your order, the third attack echelon is gradually assembling to the shore. ”

General Kurygin smiled faintly and said: "Break through the positions of the defenders of the independent division, just this evening!" ”

Because there was no suppression and blow by heavy firepower, the Soviet troops of the three regiments, with minor casualties, landed on the south bank, and after joining up with the previous troops, they immediately began to launch a ferocious attack on the blocking positions of the Outer Mongolian border guards, and dense gunfire rang out again.

From the river beach to the forward position, the distance is only more than 100 meters, and at this position, the threat of Soviet tank artillery is not so great, and the soldiers of the Outer Mongolian border guards can finally stretch their hands and feet, not afraid of flying shells, and shoot as much as they want.

Submachine guns and rifles formed a network of fire, stubbornly blocking the Soviet attack, but the light and heavy machine gun fire points of the Soviet army on the river beach posed a great threat and damage to the troops, and despite the desperate shooting of the soldiers, they were still unable to stop the pace of the Soviet attack, and approached the forward position step by step.

The submachine gun in Wang Qingshan's hand, "da-da-da" screams of joy, and scorching bullet casings flew out in front of him, but he knew that if only three regiments of Soviet follow-up troops, the first brigade and the other three brigades, fought for their lives, they could also press the Soviet army on the river beach and ensure that the position was not broken through.

Wang Qingshan ordered all the soldiers of the first battalion to prepare grenades, while anxiously looking at the southern sky, anxious, the Soviet soldiers who swarmed up, as if they were endless, even with Wang Qingshan's courage and good fighting, there was a feeling of powerlessness, the submachine gun in his hand, the barrel was hot, and the bullet casings under his feet were almost above his feet, and he still couldn't stop the attack of the Soviet army.

On the north bank of the Sejingge River, General Kulygin, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, became more and more peaceful, half of the troops of the second attack wave landed on the south bank, and the remaining half had already crossed two-thirds of the river, and suddenly, in the south sky, there was a dull roar, and the staff officers around him looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was, and General Kurygin also looked at the sky in confusion.

The face of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirnenko, suddenly changed, and he said eagerly to General Kulygin: "Comrade commander, the voice is coming from the south, there is only one possibility, it is the aircraft of the independent division!" ”

General Kurygin woke up like a dream, and said to Lieutenant General Zirnenko urgently: "Quick, immediately order the tank troops and the third echelon that are being assembled, evacuate and hide, and avoid air raids!" Order the air defense forces, at any cost, to ensure that the second echelon all goes to the south bank! Order the troops that have already landed on the south bank to mix with the troops of the independent division, hurry! ”

General Kurygin issued several orders in one breath, and anyone could see that Comrade Commander, who had just won the victory, had already panicked, and Zirnianko, chief of staff, and several staff officers hurriedly called the troops to inform the troops, and at this moment, the roar was getting closer and closer, and it could be seen with the naked eye that a group of hundreds of bombers was flying over the battlefield.

Colonel Huang Manliang, commander of the 1st Bomber Regiment of the Northern Flight Group of the Independent Division and commander of the air formation, looked sideways at the battlefield outside the porthole and ordered: "Attention all crews, enter the bombing channel, pay attention to identifying the bombing targets, focus on the Soviet tanks on the north bank, and start bombing in three minutes!" ”
