Zhao Yuhe saw that the teacher was unwilling to talk about this topic anymore, so he had to give up, and it was not easy to say the meaning of the intercession, so he thought to himself: "It seems that we can only wait for the teacher's anger to subside, and then make plans!" ”

"Division commander, just now I received a call from several brigade commanders of the second line of defense troops, the Soviet army's attack momentum is very fierce, and in less than an hour of fighting, two attacks were launched, both of which were about the size of the division, and the front was more than 30 kilometers wide, and fierce battles were taking place on the whole line, but they were all repelled by our troops!" Zhao Yuhe replied succinctly.

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "Hmm! This time, the Soviet army was in the middle of the movement again, and was suddenly attacked, they thought that we had already retreated into the city, time was running out, that Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, by now, should have understood a little bit, and when the Soviet artillery unit was killed by us, he would fully understand! ”

After thinking about it, Tang Qiuli then asked, "How is the First Brigade doing?" It seems that he sent Liu Hongzhang to the baggage troops, and he was not completely at ease with the First Brigade.

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied: "Division commander, I also asked Ouyang Yishan, the commander of the second brigade who is adjacent to the first brigade, according to what he said, the first brigade fought quite well, with a clear eye, the coordination of all kinds of firepower, and the Soviet army attacking in that direction did not take any advantage!" ”

After a pause, he said deliberately: "However, Brigade Commander Ouyang said something very interesting, division commander, do you want to hear it?" ”

Tang Qiuli glared at him angrily, "Yuhe, you have also learned to sell Guanzi!" Ouyang Yishan is an honest man, and his words are worth listening to! ”

Zhao Yuhe said: "Brigade Commander Ouyang said that the First Brigade fought decently and couldn't find faults, but there was no Liu Hongzhang to command the battle. That tiger spirit and ruthlessness! ”

Tang Qiuli laughed silently, he knew what Zhao Yuhe meant, he was begging for Liu Hongzhang in a different way, "Yuhe, if you have time, you can talk to Liu Hongzhang, that guy is a donkey temper, don't think about it, make something to do it, sue him." When did you figure it out, come to me yourself! He seemed to be very emotional.

Zhao Yuhe couldn't hold back a smile, "Division Commander, you got Brigade Commander Liu to the Third Baggage Regiment, this kung fu." It's time for the head of the third regiment to catch fire, you think. Major General Deputy Battalion Commander. The head of the regiment is a colonel, and when the two meet, who salutes whom! You see, in less than two days, the regiment commander promised to find the division with a sad face! ”

Then. A communications staff officer came in and handed him two telegrams, Zhao Yuhe looked at them and said, "Division commander." Qu Zhennian's division is ready, will it immediately launch an attack on the Soviet artillery? The outflanking troops on both flanks, all in place, should they immediately launch an attack on all fronts? ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "No, Qu Zhennian can start immediately, the troops on both wings, after an hour and a half, will start to attack, we rely on the fortifications to hold on, and the Soviet army has no artillery available, it is the best time to consume its vital force, the rapid march to the periphery of Minusinsk, not even breathing, immediately put into the attack, the Soviet army continues to fight, and when we launch a general offensive, we will face the tired soldiers, it will be much easier to solve!" ”

Zhao Yuhe nodded, handed over the order to a staff officer, and then said: "Division commander, I have an idea, the Soviet army has all entered our encirclement, why not take the opportunity to expand the results?" ”

Tang Qiuli asked with great interest: "Yuhe, if you have any good ideas, say them and listen to them!" ”

Zhao Yuhe walked to the map and said: "Division commander, Qu Zhennian's four regiments will soon be able to kill the Soviet army's artillery units, and their current position is just in the rear of the Soviet army, why not order Qu Zhennian, after annihilating the Soviet artillery, with the strength of four regiments, block the Soviet army's retreat, those artillery, we don't have to blow it up, just use it, in this way, it is not impossible to encircle and annihilate the Soviet 43rd Group Army!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled bitterly and said: "Yuhe, the idea is good, I also want to cut off this finger of Vasilevsky, the art of war is cloudy, 'it is better to break one finger than to hurt ten fingers', but it also depends on what kind of battlefield environment, encircling the Soviet army of 150,000 or 60,000 people, for us, as long as there is enough time, it is not a problem to eat it." ”

"However, what we lack the most is time, once we know that the 43rd Army is surrounded by us on the periphery of Minusinsk, Vasilevsky's first reaction will judge that our main force, right here, will definitely order the four Soviet armies that are going south to Ulan Guben to turn back and rescue, and it will only take three days to rush to the battlefield, and within three days, we will not be able to completely solve the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in the encirclement."

"At that time, we will only retreat, otherwise, we will be entangled by the Soviet army in front of us, and we will be the result of being counter-surrounded by more than 500,000 Soviet troops, therefore, the battle can only be fought for two days, this encirclement is originally stuffed with a big and thin skin, completely blocked the mouth, without more than four brigades, it cannot be done, Qu Zhennian only has four regiments, even if it is all spelled out, it will not be able to stop more than 100,000 Soviet troops from breaking through!"

"The forces in our hands are still not enough to annihilate the Soviet army in two days, once the Soviet army breaks through, it will definitely meet with the Soviet army of the four group armies that are going south to Ulan Guben, we can't even pursue, so we can eliminate more Soviet troops in the periphery of Minusinsk to the greatest extent, and we can't completely annihilate them, but also suffer heavy losses!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli seemed to blame himself a little, and then said: "It seems that my original campaign plan of completely annihilating the Soviet army was too optimistic!" ”

Zhao Yuhe thought silently for a while, and said: "Division commander, what you did is right, however, as far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, the Soviet 43rd Group Army, even if it can break through the encirclement, at least more than half of the troops must be left, no matter what the result of this battle, our campaign purpose has been achieved, so don't blame yourself!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and shouted towards the door: "Huzi, get ready, the division is going to move to the front line!" Yuhe, you should prepare too! ”

Zhao Yuhe was so anxious that his face turned white, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Division commander, this is not good, the front line is too dangerous, you still stay in the command center, I will go to the front line, what is the situation, call you to report, this can be done?" ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe, who was so anxious that his face was red, and he was happy, "Yuhe, I'm not on the front line, what's the danger, besides, if I run to the front line, can the mountain tiger agree?" Well, I must go to the front to command in order to grasp the moment to launch an offensive on all fronts!

At this time, Shanhu happened to come in, and when he heard Zhao Yuhe's words, he grinned and said, "Chief of Staff, don't worry, with me watching, the division commander will keep it fine!" ”

Since Captain Huang, who was in charge of the division commander's safety, had made a package ticket, seeing this, Zhao Yuhe knew that he could no longer stop him, what else could he say, so he was busy going out to make arrangements.

Not long after, a convoy drove away from the dark city of Minusinsk, the headquarters of the independent division, moved to the front line, and the division commanded all the organs, and also followed out of the city, and with the last car, disappeared into the vast night, and the city was now truly empty.

More than an hour later, Tang Qiuli arrived at the front line, it was when the Soviet army launched another attack, and the battle was at a fever pitch, standing in the current position, without a telescope, you can overlook the entire battlefield, of course, the position is absolutely safe, however, the mountain tiger still ordered the special guards, by Tang Qiuli's side, to form a human wall and protect him in the middle, Tang Qiuli frowned, but didn't say anything.

In the dark and dreary night, the battlefield is like a boiling molten iron, when the shells explode, the flashes of firelight, like fireworks blooming on the ground, all kinds of tracer bullets, staggered in the night sky, and the burning Soviet tanks, bursting out of the rolling fire, reflecting the battlefield red, a huge roar, echoing in the air.

If you look closely, all the shells are flying in one direction, and then, falling suddenly, not long after, in the sky, suddenly there was a piercing scream, rows of rocket shells dragging long tail flames, smashing the head and skull, instantly, on the ground, a sea of fire, in the firelight, countless human bodies, full of flames, rolling in pain.

Obviously, it was the rocket artillery unit of the corps that was carrying out all-round covering artillery bombardment on the Soviet offensive line, and soon, the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield fell down, and the Soviet army was like a sea water with low tide, leaving corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere, and they were once again repelled by the fierce fire of the independent division.

Tang Qiuli was expressionless, he had experienced similar situations many times, and his heart was numb, this is war, war is cruel!

Tang Qiuli looked at the battle-filled battlefield, and in the distance, there were some faint lights, which should be the depth of the rear of the Soviet army, and a gust of north wind blew, bringing a choking smell of gunpowder, he asked: "Yuhe, how many times have you repelled the Soviet army's attacks?" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, it's already the fifth offensive, and several brigade commanders just called to say that our artillery didn't let the Soviet army approach the forward position at all!" With one shell and rocket, all the attacking Soviet soldiers were left in the middle of the road, and it would not be a problem to continue to fight like this for another two or three days! ”

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch and said, "The fifth time!" It seems that Lieutenant General Bamyanov has not woken up yet! They are tired, and it is our turn to fight, order, extend the artillery fire, shell the depth of the rear of the Soviet army, order, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades of tanks, frontal assault on the Soviet army, order, outflank the troops on the left and right flanks, and immediately attack the Soviet army, Qu Zhennian's troops, immediately return to their original formations, and participate in the attack operation! ”

"The specific tactics are to make a ferocious assault by the frontal troops, and the troops on both flanks are intercepted layer by layer, but do not completely block the route of the Soviet army to break through! The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and it is to bite! ”
