Sun Zhenbang is also an anxious child, as he spoke, he took out a pen, and wrote it in a telegraph newspaper, "brushing" it, Battle's eyes jumped a few times, he could see that Sun Zhenbang was in extreme excitement, and the battle was so smooth that everyone was happy, but he forgot a more important thing, and he still had to remind him.

So, Battle stood up and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Commander Sun, the progress of the battle will exceed your and my expectations, and it will take seven or eight hours faster than we expected to break through the Soviet position, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Zhenbang stopped his pen and looked at Battle suspiciously, Battle's eyes were bright and pure, "Commander Sun, let's outflank the six brigades on the left and right flanks of the Soviet army, at this moment, they have not yet reached the designated position, the Soviet army retreated so quickly, the troops did not have time to attack from both flanks, the plan of the encirclement battle has failed, the battlefield has changed, and the deployment should be adjusted immediately!" ”

"Oops!" Sun Zhenbang shouted, slapped his head a few times, isn't it, the troops on both wings outflanked will not arrive at the designated position at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, according to their own orders, the six brigades on the left and right wings are waiting for the Soviet army to appear, and then close the siege, with the current rout speed of the Soviet army, I am afraid that it will have to chase under the city of Kulen before it can catch up, I didn't expect that the Soviet army was defeated so quickly!

Sun Zhenbang hurriedly called a staff officer and said quickly: "Immediately send a telegram to the troops on the left and right flanks, ordering your troops to immediately abandon the current interception site and advance in the direction of Kulun as quickly as possible, the left wing troops will seize the Bayan Chagan area before 11 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, and the right wing troops will seize the Bayan Chagan area before 10 o'clock in the morning of the 11th." The seizure of the Gobi Sumubel region requires you to intercept the Soviet army before the Soviet 37th Army retreats into the city of Kulen! ”

"Come back! At the same time, send a telegram to the division commander to report the change in our campaign deployment and assure the division commander that the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is determined to pursue and annihilate the Soviet 37th Group Army," Sun Zhenbang shouted to the staff officer who was about to leave, and added.

After giving the order. Sun Zhenbang said with a wry smile: "This is good, our troops are going to race against the Soviet army, for the troops on both wings, time is victory." Unexpectedly, the battle went on smoothly. It will bring so much trouble. I knew this, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to attack, hey, I didn't receive it - I really didn't expect that the Soviet army would be so inhibited! As he spoke, he shook his head again and again.

Battle looked at Sun Zhenbang. With a look of annoyance, he deliberately enlivened the air, and said with a smile: "We didn't expect that Commander Zheng's artillery." can play such a big role, just two rounds of artillery bombardment, crushed a Soviet army group, Commander Sun, do you still want to give credit to the artillery! ”

Sun Zhenbang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed and laughed, and said: "Please ask for credit, after all, Lao Zheng asked our troops to pay less, Commander Ba, I firmly believe that our troops will definitely be able to make dumplings for this Soviet army, even if they chase him to the city of Kulun, they will eat him!" ”

The chief of staff who had just come back was Wang Jun, and when he heard Sun Zhenbang's words, he did not laugh, but reminded worriedly: "Commander, Commander Pakistan, I must remind the two of you that according to the enemy report of the division commander's staff office, in the direction of Kulen, there is the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army, as well as other garrison troops, with a strength of more than 200,000 people. ”

After a pause, Wang Jun continued: "Our troops, continuous combat, long-distance pursuit, the soldiers' physical consumption is very large, to face the troops of the two Soviet armies at the same time, the strength will surpass ours, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it, if we are not careful, we will be entangled by the Soviet army, please two commanders, carefully consider the order to pursue!" ”

Sun Zhenbang and Battle exchanged glances, Battle smiled and said nothing, but Sun Zhenbang said: "Chief of Staff, the concerns you raised, I and Commander Ba have considered it, let's just rest assured and boldly pursue, as for the 35th Army of the Soviet Army in the direction of Kulen, do you think, can the division commander be prepared!" ”

Sun Zhenbang paused for a moment, and then said with some emotion: "The division commander fights, there is a furrow in his chest, he is a person who takes one step and sees three steps, the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army, more than 100,000 horses, is around Kulun, in order to deal with our cavalry troops, such a big target, the division commander will not ignore it, Chief of Staff, just rest assured!" ”

Wang Jun lowered his head and pondered, smiled to himself, and said: "I'm too worried, the division commander's ability to control the battle situation is unmatched, if my corps's campaign against the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army ends early, maybe we can work with the troops of other corps to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army in Kulen, and then recapture Kulen, and fight two big battles and win two battles in a row!" ”

Sun Zhenbang rubbed his cheeks, which lacked rest and were slightly puffy, and said to Wang Jun: "Chief of Staff, the troops have begun to pursue, our corps headquarters should be in front of the command, follow the actions of the troops, you arrange it immediately, and the headquarters will set off immediately!" ”

Battle stood up and said, "Commander Sun, the command is moving forward, I will go to the armored corps, will I also command from the front!" ”

Saiyin Shanda, in the headquarters of the independent division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, is reporting on the battlefield situation, "Division commander, the troops directly under the corps on the left flank of the Soviet army, an hour ago, launched an attack on the retreating Soviet army, as we expected, the Soviet army did not turn back to meet the battle, but adopted the method of blocking layer by layer, leaving a small number of troops to block the attack of our troops, and the main force continued to retreat in the direction of the Tangnu Mountains and the Ural Mountains!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled lightly and said: "Okay, the battlefield of Outer Mongolia is in full swing, Sun Zhenbang is fighting well, and all the brigades directly under the corps have work to do, so we should also go!" ”

"Division commander, the division commander is ready, and he can set off immediately, the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade have been off for more than an hour, in addition, Brigade Commander Ren Zhaoquan and Brigade Commander Chen Han have left their brigade headquarters guard battalion, saying that they are not worried about the safety of the division commander, I can't resist them, so I agreed, Captain Huang has already incorporated the two guard battalions into the combat sequence of the guard brigade." Zhao Yuhe replied.

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe with a smile and said, "Yuhe, I'm afraid this is your idea, right?" Ren Zhaoquan and Chen Han also have this intention, and Shanhu is even happier like this, the four of you hit it off, but you came to fool me! ”

Zhao Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, no matter what he says, the guard force of the division commander has been strengthened, everyone is relieved, at this time, Chen Feng, director of the division commander's communications department, came in, "Report to the division commander and chief of staff, I received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, reporting the change in the deployment of the campaign!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, after receiving the telegram, after the hurried Kulen read it, his brows twisted into a pimple, "Division commander, the situation is not quite right, the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army, the rout was so rapid, far beyond our expectations, the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps on the left and right flanks of the detour failed to seize the front of the Soviet retreating troops and block the Soviet army, and now Commander Sun ordered to continue the pursuit." ”

"The six frontal brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, plus the armored troops of Commander Battle, pursued head-on, the Soviet army could only run faster, and the six brigades on the left and right flanks pursued in parallel, I am afraid that they will have to chase to the vicinity of Kulen in order to catch up with the Soviet troops, division commander, Kulen has the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army, more than 100,000 troops, plus other troops, I am afraid there will be more than 200,000 people."

"If you add the remnants of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army that retreated, together, there are nearly 300,000 troops, which is no longer something that the Outer Mongolian Field Corps can deal with, Commander Sun's move is too risky, division commander, I Jianyi, immediately order the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, slow down the pursuit, and outflank the troops on the left and right flanks in a roundabout way, cut in from the current position, intercept some of the Soviet troops, and annihilate them, so that the grasp is greater!"

"No, Sun Zhenbang's troops, now their morale is booming, and the battle is going well, it is the time when the heart is in full swing, ordering them to give up the opportunity to achieve the greatest results will dampen the morale of the troops, and it will not be conducive to the growth of the troops." Tang Qiuli said while thinking about it.

Seeing that Zhao Yuhe still insisted on his own opinion, Tang Qiuli continued: "The battlefield should be comprehensively analyzed from many aspects, if the remnants of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army are allowed to flee into Kulen, as you said, the combined Soviet army, with a strength of nearly 300,000 people, is not conducive to the several brigades that we are chasing and entanglement with the main force of the Soviet Army's Outer Mongolian Front. ”

"Vasilevsky, who was dragged down and was anxious to evacuate, what should he do once he ordered the Soviet army in Kulen to flank our pursuing troops, the strength of nearly 300,000 people is enough to affect the advantages and disadvantages of the local battlefield, so it is really necessary to entangle or annihilate the Soviet troops left behind around Kulen!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli suddenly laughed, his eyes flashed with a wave of wisdom, "Moreover, Sun Zhenbang and Battle have their own plans, considering the situation on the battlefield, they think that I will not ignore Kulen's 35th Soviet Army, therefore, it also prompts them to make the decision to pursue boldly and confidently, and the total annihilation of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army is the goal that Sun Zhenbang must achieve, so give him this opportunity!" ”

Zhao Yuhe did not agree with the division commander's statement, and asked a simple, but unavoidable question, "Division commander, you are right, but there is a problem, we must estimate in advance that the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army around Kulen will not sit idly by and watch the 37th Group Army be chased and annihilated by the Outer Mongolian Field Corps step by step, and encircled under the city of Kulen!" ”

Tang Qiuli did not deny Zhao Yuhe's words, but looked at him with encouraging eyes, and he always appreciated the subordinates who could raise objections.
