Chapter 796: Breaking One of Its Wings

After Feng Jiwu evacuated the Kazadeu Pass and blocked the position, the last gift left to the Soviet army under Zhukov's command was hundreds of tons of bombing, two mountain bags that had collapsed as a whole, and hundreds of Soviet tanks buried by thousands of tons of earth and rubble.

Dozens of Soviet tank pilots who had already left the southern end of the pass watched their companions being buried by the collapsed mountain, and a new mountain pack was high, cutting off their connection with the main army.

On the nearby hillside, more than 200 sappers and special combat members of Feng Jiwu's army clenched their fists excitedly, glanced at each other, turned around and got on their horses, disappeared into the depths of the dark green grassland, and galloped towards Zabul in the Tangnu Mountains.

Zhukov, who received the report from the vanguard troops, walked through the crowded traffic, looked at a big mountain in front of him, his face was so angry that he was blue, and he had the intention of killing, and his cunning of the Chinese was simply hated to the bone, and he had no choice but to clean up the dirt and gravel in front of him and open up a simple road that mechanized troops could pass through.

Under the autumn morning light of the ancient steppe of Waiméng, more than 100,000 Soviet soldiers, under the order of Commander Zhukov, picked up tools and temporarily became road builders.

Lieutenant General Zhukov, who was working with the soldiers, was quietly pulled aside by the chief of staff and handed him an urgent telegram, Zhukov took it, his face changed greatly, and the telegram read: "Comrade commander, I am extremely anxious, at about four o'clock this morning, our unit was suddenly attacked by Tang Qiuli's main force from the front, and the enemy's firepower was unprecedentedly fierce, and a large number of tanks were used as an assault force. ”

"According to the commander's order, our troops have been ready to retreat, and immediately acted, unexpectedly, the troops have just begun to retreat, and the two wings have also been fiercely attacked, our troops have now fallen into a siege on all sides, and the troops have been forced to shrink to the area around Hadasan, a narrow area with a radius of only a few tens of kilometers, and are now engaged in a battle with the enemy, and I request the commander to immediately send troops to rescue, Lieutenant General Vuchkov, commander of the First Army of the Red Banner in the Far East."

After reading Vuchkov's telegram asking for help, Zhukov's head "boomed", he was dizzy, and he shook a few times, and if he hadn't been supported by the chief of staff in time, he might have fallen on fresh soil.

Although he repeatedly reminded him, Vuchkov's troops were still surrounded by Tang Qiuli, and it was in the Hadassan area that he was worried about, the terrain of that area Zhukov was very clear, a flat steppe, and within a few dozen kilometers of the surrounding area, there were surrounding hills, which were most suitable for ambushes.

The 120,000 people under the Vuchkov department are more than lucky, once they are eliminated, their plan to attack Kulen is meaningless, Tang Qiuli's main army will all press on him, and there are those who are mysteriously missing, blocking themselves for three days, and finally giving themselves a blow, and leaving a mountain behind, will the troops cut off their retreat?

The only hope now is that the Vuchikov troops can hold out for four days, and their troops can arrive, and after the two armies meet, they can also draw with Tang Qiuli, Zhukov has no hope of winning this war, but the terrain conditions around Hadassan are not enough to provide the necessary natural defense support points.

Zhukov calmed down a little and said to the chief of staff: "Order all the soldiers of the army to join in the work of opening up the passage, and before six o'clock this evening, be sure to open up, and the troops will march overnight," the chief of staff looked at the commander's face worriedly, and Zhukov shook his head gloomily.

Then he dictated a telegram: "Comrade Vuchekov, I have now opened the passage of the Kazadeu Pass, and as long as your troops hold out for three more days, I will be able to reach the area around Hadassan, and in order to facilitate the construction of defensive positions in the unfavorable defensive area, you can place all your tanks and armored vehicles on the outer line of defense, fill in the middle of the line, and use them as temporary trenches, and in addition, make a surprise excavation of anti-aircraft guns to reduce casualties, so that you can hold out for three days." ”

Zhukov was so heartfelt that he even had to tell Vacekev about the specific tactics, he knew that if he hadn't explained it in such detail, Vuchkov wouldn't have thought of this, and he couldn't hold it even for a day, and the troops were still inspired by the Chinese soldiers to learn and apply it, and Zhukov could be said to have done his best.

At two o'clock yesterday morning, the troops outflanked on both flanks arrived at the designated position according to the original plan, and the encirclement of the Vučikov troops had been completed.

The troops on both flanks were ordered to covertly approach within 10 kilometers of the outer perimeter of Hadassan, pay attention to capturing the small reconnaissance units sent by the Soviet army, and before the general offensive was launched, not to storm the lurking positions of the troops, and to assume the main force of the frontal attack, and prepare for the attack.

The troops who received the order immediately got busy, one ménmén artillery, in the middle of the night, raised the thick muzzle, the number of artillery of the six artillery brigades was so dense that it reached the standard of six hundred and twenty-three mén per kilometer of the frontal attack area, and the six tank brigades that were responsible for the assault mission, after receiving the order, the tank crews simply slept in the tank cars, and promised to do the order and start immediately.

More than 200,000 troops, sharpening their knives and huhuo, 120,000 Soviet troops trapped in the encirclement, were still unconscious, and they slept with peace of mind, but it was several Soviet reconnaissance detachments that frightened everyone, these Soviet soldiers, in a daze, crashed into the encirclement, and were taken down by the reconnaissance battalions of various brigades that had been prepared for a long time.

At about 3:30 a.m., the forward troops found that the Soviet camp in the encirclement sounded a rapid assembly horn, and then, the Soviet soldiers began to get busy, and the brigade commanders of the forward troops immediately raised their throats and eyes, don't be the old máozi commander smelled something wrong, and wanted to escape overnight, right?

The call was made to the corps headquarters, and the atmosphere in the headquarters immediately became tense, and there was still an hour and a half before the launch of the main attack, and some of the troops attacking frontally were still replenishing the ammunition, which was not in place, but Tang Qiuli looked like nothing had happened, and told several brigade commanders: "Rest assured, don't be impatient." ”

Since the division commander said so, everyone's nervous mood relaxed, Tang Qiuli secretly sneered, Zhukov finally woke up and understood that one of his big tuǐ had fallen into the pot, he was sure that this must be Zhukov to the Soviet commander in front of him, giving the order to transfer overnight, according to his observation, the Soviet commander on the opposite side did not have such wisdom, otherwise, he would not have crashed into here in a daze.

Tang Qiuli wished that the Soviet army would withdraw overnight, the night was long, more than 100,000 people were in a hurry to retreat, and the people were panicked and not to mention, it was that luàn energy, so he gave himself an opportunity, and the troops on both wings took advantage of the luàn to stab and keep the Soviet army in front of him, which was called luàn victory.

It's a pity that the Soviet commander on the opposite side was calm, and after the Soviet camp was busy for a while, it was calm again, Tang Qiuli didn't get a chance, and the surrounding troops breathed a sigh of relief, and also took the opportunity to rest and raise jīng.

The night gradually receded, and the faint morning light appeared in the eastern sky, on the grassland in early autumn, the heavy lù beads, wetting the soldiers' clothes, at five o'clock in the morning, the corps headquarters, Tang Qiuli said to the chief of staff Chang Feng: "Let's start" Dozens of operational staff officers, on the phone, conveyed the orders of the division commander to the troops.

Zheng Yong commanded his artillery group and started the prelude to the attack, and thousands of mén artillery pieces attacked Zhuyuan according to the pre-calibrated shè, and carried out all-round covering artillery bombardment on the Soviet troops in the encirclement.

The loud sound of "boom boom boom" shattered the tranquility before dawn on the grassland in an instant, and rows of shells, with a terrible scream, fell in the Soviet camp, and clusters of orange sè flames flashed suddenly, shrapnel whistled horizontally, gunpowder smoke suddenly rose, soil flew into the air, and the Soviet camp was shrouded in firelight.

The battle was launched to the best suddenly, the first round of shells fell, just woke up the sleeping Soviet soldiers, and when the second round of shells fell, the camp was already full of disheveled Soviet soldiers, headless like flies.

A shell fell, flying between the dirt, mixed with the broken limbs of Soviet soldiers, impermeable shrapnel, tearing apart all the creatures encountered, this was a one-sided massacre, after 30 minutes of shelling, the five brigades of tank units attacking head-on, formed ten wedge-shaped attack formations, in a frontal area more than ten kilometers wide, like a sharp arrow from a broken string, fiercely pierced into the unbearable Soviet camp.

In the face of the Chinese tanks rumbling from different directions, the Soviet soldiers did not know how many there were, and they had lost the will to resist.

The encirclement was closed, and the Battle of Hadassan broke out from the beginning to the present, but in just three hours, less than 90,000 Soviet soldiers, more than 500 tanks, more than 1,000 mén artillery, countless trucks, and more than 20,000 Soviet soldiers fell into the fierce shelling just now, and became broken corpses.

The progress of the battle made Tang Qiuli unbelievable, in the three-hour battle, the Soviet army did not even organize a decent resistance, but ran around aimlessly, trying to run to a place where the sound of artillery was scarce, such a situation rarely appeared in the surrounded Japanese troops, no wonder in the early days of the Soviet-German war, the German army captured more than 100,000 Soviet soldiers at every turn.

The battle that was originally scheduled for two days could be ended in one day, and when Zhukov came here from the Outer Méng Ancient West, he only came to collect the corpses of hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers, since he was not in a hurry to end the battle, Tang Qiuli ordered the troops to stop the attack, and even the artillery bombardment stopped, just to adopt a close encirclement of the Soviet army,

All the brigade commanders, including the chief of staff Chang Feng, did not understand the purpose of the division commander's doing, and struck while the iron was hot, and before dark, none of these Soviet soldiers wanted to escape, and the fall of this Soviet army was a foregone conclusion.

Besides, there are more than 200,000 troops of Zhukov, who are desperately heading towards Hadassan, and they think that the thoughts of division commander Tang Qiuli are alive again.
