Zheng Yong, who has followed Tang Qiuli for many years, naturally understands the painstaking efforts of the division commander, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, experiencing such a big battle for the first time, needs artillery to escort it, and can't let Sun Zhenbang know, this has nothing to do with trust or not, it involves a soldier's self-esteem and honor!

Therefore, Zheng Yong would rather discuss with Sun Zhenbang to postpone the time of the attack, but also use artillery to open a passage for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and a large number of artillery battlefield temporary maneuvers are also forced by the division commander to come up with tricks, otherwise, once the infantry of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps launched an assault, they were killed and injured by a large number of Soviet artillery, and Zheng Yong himself could not explain to the division commander!

Twenty minutes passed, and the Soviet soldiers on the second line of positions were waiting with chills in their hearts, including the commander of the group army, Lieutenant General Hippoliv, all the Soviet commanders were confused, what the hell are the troops of the independent division doing?

The shelling stopped for half an hour, it stands to reason that the infantry should have charged a long time ago, fighting, there is not much way to fight, thousands of large-caliber howitzers, plus unknown artillery, bombarded for an hour, the artillery fire extended for more than ten minutes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting in strict formation, ready to fight with the infantry of the independent division, face to face, as a result, the Chinese are silent, the battlefield is cold here?

Lieutenant General Hippoliv, frowning, light blue eyes, turned around I don't know how many circles, stunned that he didn't figure out the reason, but the uneasy feeling in his heart became more and more intense, "Among them, what conspiracy must be brewing in the Chinese?" He speculated to himself.

If Lieutenant General Hippoliv had not been hit by a shell that had cut his head and covered his head, it would have been better for the Chinese not to attack, anyway, the time to cover the withdrawal of the main forces of the front army was twelve hours, and the more it was delayed. The more beneficial it is to themselves, the more Chinese do not fight, the more in line with their own wishes.

But after the artillery of the independent division destroyed its own artillery, more than 100,000 shells, the first line of positions was blown to pieces, and the troops lost tens of thousands of people, Lieutenant General Hippoliv did not dare to be so calm, and the independent division troops that occupied the advantage in artillery fire. There is no reason to give up the attack, which is why he smells of conspiracy.

Lieutenant General Hippoliv even wondered if he would take advantage of this opportunity to order his troops to immediately retreat in the direction of Kulen and move closer to the 35th Army. Again, before seeing the might of the artillery of the separate division. It is quite possible to do this yourself. But now they don't dare, they don't dare to move, in case the troops leave the fortifications, those who lurk in the darkness, peep into their movements. The sinister and cunning Chinese, suddenly killed, God! The 37th Army will collapse on all fronts!

Waiting for Lieutenant General Hippolyv, who was becoming more and more bottomless in his heart, the false fire rose. Lieutenant General Hippoliv, who has fought countless battles, knows very well that the battle of roaring shells and flying bullets will make the soldiers forget a qiē, and all their spirit will be put into the fight, and the silence of the battlefield before the big war is the most tormenting of the soldier's spirit and will!

If the cunning Chinese take advantage of this to consume the morale of the soldiers of their own troops, no more, drag it until dawn tomorrow, I am afraid that the soldiers on the position do not even have the strength to fight, "No, you can't wait passively like this, you should take active measures!" He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Lieutenant General Hippoliv picked up the phone, "Third Army?" I order, all of your troops will attack at once and attack in the direction of Seyinshanda! Tank Army? Send a division of tanks right away to cover the attack of the Third Army! ”

Since the intentions of the troops of the independent division are unknown, then dispatch the troops of an army, take the initiative to attack, and fight out the intentions of the Chinese, as long as the battle is resumed, it is better to make the next countermeasures than to wait here stupidly!

"Ding-bell!" In the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, the phone rang rapidly, and Chief of Staff Wang Jun stepped forward and picked up the phone, "What?" How many troops are there? In that direction, okay, I see, report to the commander right away! ”

Putting down the phone, Wang Jun said: "Commander, after receiving a report from the forward troops, the Soviet army dispatched about a corps of troops, under the cover of more than 200 tanks, divided into three directions, approaching the starting point of our attack for no more than 20 minutes, and then it can exchange fire with our troops. ”

"What?" Sun Zhenbang was stunned, this was an unexpected situation, the Soviet army was stubborn, why did he suddenly take the initiative to attack, "Zheng Yong's side, I don't know how the preparation is, it's been almost half an hour, and there is no movement, this old Zheng, he is really anxious, if this Soviet army is allowed to rush to the front of the attacking force, it will disrupt the established deployment, and it will also expose the current position of the attacking force!" ”

Sun Zhenbang thought for a while, grabbed the phone, just shook the handle twice, suddenly stopped, held the telephone in his hand, looked at Battell, who was speechless, and asked inquiringly: "Commander Pakistan, what do you think about the fact that the Soviet army took the initiative to attack?" ”

Battle's eyes flickered quickly, he stood up, and said calmly: "Commander Sun, if you care, you are chaotic, my judgment, this Soviet army that took the initiative to attack was sent out by its commander to make a tentative attack because he couldn't figure out our intentions!" ”

"The shelling lasted for more than an hour, according to convention, our infantry should have launched an attack a long time ago, but now, they are not moving, the battlefield is silent, we know that we are waiting for the second shelling of the artillery, that is, Commander Zheng's 'back to the pot meat', but the commander of the Soviet army is not clear."

"Therefore, he has to take the initiative to attack and fight out our intentions, this Soviet commander, it's not simple, my opinion is, continue to stand still and wait for the artillery to bombard! Commander Zheng should have found out about this situation as well! ”

Since he and Sun Zhenbang jointly commanded the northern campaign of Sayinshanda, Battle rarely spoke, more often, he put himself in the position of deputy, and he had a supportive attitude towards any decision made by Sun Zhenbang.

But Battle's own personality is not so flamboyant, he is good at armored cluster operations, for commanding infantry, not to mention interlacing like a mountain, it is not as experienced as Sun Zhenbang, who has fought for more than ten years, not to mention, in the order of the division commander, is it to let the armored troops cooperate with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to fight, or is Sun Zhenbang the mainstay, this point, Battelle himself grasps this very well.

Including Sun Zhenbang and Chief of Staff Wang Jun, all the officers in the command of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps are also used to it, this one always has a faint smile on his face, and he is silent, but he is very young in the style of a major general of the armored corps.

Battle's words made Sun Zhenbang's heart suddenly shocked, "If you care, you will be chaotic, yes, yes, yes!" I am a little impatient, always thinking about fighting a beautiful battle, so that the division commander and the other corps commanders can see that the newly formed Outer Mongolia Field Corps is no worse than you! ”

"Subconsciously, it is to make up for a series of mistakes made during his reign in Outer Mongolia, to be competitive and to win! Determined to fight a turnaround, he is inevitably a little confused, and he has lost ground, it seems that he is still not calm enough! I didn't expect this young Battle to be so insightful, worthy of being a general who studied in Germany and went through the baptism of war on the European battlefield! ”

"This younger brother of the division commander is not a simple task!" Sun Zhenbang had a new evaluation of Battle in his heart, smiled at himself, relaxed his whole body, and said to Wang Jun: "Order the troops, press still, continue to wait, this trouble, the artillery will solve it for us, don't forget, Commander Zheng Yong is busy preparing for 'back to the pot meat', let's not spoil the good things of others!" ”

In his eyes, with gratitude, Sun Zhenbang glanced at Battle, and Battle smiled gently, never ostentatious and complacent, which made Sun Zhenbang, who cooperated with Battle for the first time, think a little more highly of him!

"The Soviets dispatched about a corps of troops and took the initiative to attack, hum! Come out and send you to death by yourself, and if you don't accept the tens of thousands of lives of Lao Maozi, it seems that we are stingy, self-propelled artillery group, are you in place? Good! In the second shelling, your artillery group will start first, and kill the Soviet troops who have come out on the spot! ”

"Rocket artillery groups, howitzer groups, are you in place? -- All in place, you are smart, you don't need to go to the logistics department to resist the shells, after ten minutes of shelling by the self-propelled artillery group, you will open fire according to your respective artillery targets, and the artillery fire will cover the Soviet positions! ”

"Hahaha! It's officially on the 'back to the pot meat'! Put down the walkie-talkie, Zheng Yong laughed happily, the artillery group that carried out the battlefield maneuver was all in place on time, and the two rounds of artillery bombardment before and after were down, there were probably not many people left in the Soviet army, and the task assigned by the division commander was successfully completed, Zheng Yong was very happy!

"Oops! - Forget this stubble, patronize yourself and be happy, these more than 30 minutes of work, the Soviet army has its own initiative to probe, and the old grandson is not in a hurry to go to the house! Zheng Yong slapped his head and shouted again and again.

"Commander Sun! I'm Zheng Yong, your brother is in a hurry, the artillery group that moved forward has all been in place, and the shelling will start immediately. So as not to affect your brother's plan of attack! Zheng Yong's hearty movement came through the phone receiver.

Sun Zhenbang was just about to open his mouth and say some words of thanks, at this moment, outside the headquarters, there was a sudden earth-shattering loud noise, the earth was trembling, he turned his head to look, in the night sky, countless cannonballs, like meteors, flew away into the distance with screams and tail flames!
