Day and night, the 706th Regiment did not slow down in the slightest, and finally arrived at the attack area - the Hexi Valley at the scheduled time.

"Sir, all troops are in attack positions!" A young officer with a blue scalp and dark skin ran over and reported to Huang Zhengzhong.

Huang Zhengzhong's eyes were like torches, and he scanned the city of Kulen under the mountain and the position he was about to attack. This is the Hexi Valley, the city of Kulun is a defensive line, to be honest, the place here is not big, the front and back are only a few kilometers square, in the vast Mongolian steppe, this is not an open battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a projectile land, but for him, it is enough.

He divided the three infantry battalions of the attacking force into two waves, two of which were intensively attacked, and all the ammunition he carried was distributed, and all the ammunition was to be exhausted in this battle.

Huang Zhengzhong knows very well that the battle must be carried out in one go, and what is fighting at this time is the courage of both sides, and whoever slacks off first will lose the opportunity.

What's more, the army under his command has been working day and night, and now everyone is very tired, and there is no rest at this time, and when the strings are tightened, there can be no slack.

The cold wind suddenly rose, and the faces of the people who blew hurt in the faces. Huang Zhengzhong narrowed his eyes and raised his binoculars to look at the Khan King's army under the mountain. These guys are connoisseurs*, and they're on high alert. Tanks and armoured vehicles were placed on the perimeter to form a ring of defense, around which mobile outposts were released, and searchlights were still scanning back and forth, and pillars of light swept by like iron rods.

However, none of this is a problem for Huang Zhengzhong.

Because they are not ready for a sneak attack, but a surprise attack!

The officers and men of the three battalions rushed down in one go, relying on automatic* hand-to-hand combat, and smashed all the enemy's formations and formations to pieces.

As the minutes passed, Huang Zhengzhong raised his hand to look at his watch, and the hands of the Swiss watch had already pointed to the time he was looking forward to.

His eyes were like torches, and he raised his hand slightly at the officer behind him, and an officer ran over and said, "Sir! ”

"Ready!" Huang Zhengzhong gave the order, and a group of officers and soldiers who bent down got up slightly, and under the dark green steel helmet, there were resolute and swarthy faces.

There was a clashing sound of the upper bayonet and the wooden handle* of the rope, and the officers and men began to make final preparations like undulating waves.

"Rush!" With a wave of Huang Zhengzhong's hand, three battalions and a team of more than 1,000 people rushed down the mountain like an iron stream.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing and fighting. The clanging mortars and several Maxim machine guns responsible for suppressing the fire had already been fired, and red and blue tracer shells were weaving back and forth in the air.

"Rush! Kill these white-haired pigs! ”

"The 2nd Expeditionary Army is invincible in the world!"

……

The attack on the outlying positions alarmed the entire city of Cullen.

It's a place of fire, and it's a piece of flesh and blood.

Before this attack came to you, the generals of the Mongol Army and the Soviet advisers believed that it was impossible for the Wehrmacht to launch a large-scale offensive in this place.

This is not because of their arrogance, but because of the natural mountain barrier that the Wehrmacht's armoured forces and heavy firepower cannot reach. The lack of heavy weapons means that they cannot provide effective fire support, and if they only attack with infantry over the mountains, it is tantamount to death.

Therefore, when the outer canyon was attacked, Nadagan, the general of the Mongolian army in Kulen City, said disapprovingly: "There is no need for reinforcements, there is a battalion of our armored troops in the river valley, although the strength is small, but the firepower is strong. The southerners came with infantry, as if they had sent a flock of sheep to the mouth of a wolf. ”

Soviet adviser Fedorov was not impressed, he judged that this was the route of the Chinese army's feint, for the purpose of deliberately disturbing the line of sight, and the real target of the Chinese army's attack was southern Kulen.

However, for the sake of insurance, Fedorov transferred another infantry battalion as a reserve, ready to reinforce the operation in the western mountains at any time.

……

In the Mobei tent, Batu sat on a chair and glanced at the large-scale map of Kulun in front of him.

At this time, all the troops had already entered the attack position, and Huang Zhengzhong had led his troops to the Hexi Valley. The charcoal fire in the tent crackled from time to time, a gust of wind blew, the electric lights flickered a few times because of the unstable power supply line, and the radio station in the confidential room not far away made all kinds of dripping sounds.

"Commander, the 706th Regiment has launched an attack!" A staff officer broke into the camp and reported.

The eyes of the generals on both sides were focused on Batu, but Batu did not speak.

In the dim light, his iron-blue face looked even colder.

"Pass the order!" Batu opened his mouth.

The staff officer who came to report straightened up and paid attention.

"All troops are prepared, and no one is allowed to move without my orders."

"Yes! No one is allowed to act without an order! The major repeated his order again, turned and went out to convey it.

After the Major went out to deliver the order, all eyes were once again on Batuu.

Chief of Staff Chen Xingguo stepped forward and asked quietly, "Commander, can the 706th Regiment do it?" Do you want to send another air force to support it? ”

Batu waved his hand, "No need. The area is small, and the air force support is afraid that it will be accidentally injured. ”

"But the 706th regiment rushed over like this, can it tear a hole? In case the whole army is wiped out, we can't explain to Nanjing. Chen Xingguo is Batu's old subordinate, although the two have a superior-subordinate relationship, they have nothing to talk about on weekdays. Therefore, he dared to ask such a question to Batu so bluntly.

In the face of doubts, Batu sighed slightly, and he smiled slightly: "There is a saying in our grassland, that if you are stingy with arrows, you will not be able to hunt wild beasts. Since the commander gave me the arrow of Zhengzhong, then I must return a good pair of arrows! ”

Chen Xingguo didn't say much, he knew that Batu's determination would not change again, so since this was the case, he could only support him with all his might.

The 706th Regiment, as the vanguard, will attack the Hexi Valley area, and after tearing a hole here, it will attack the city of Kulun. At this time, if the Mongolian army is reinforced, then the forces in other directions will inevitably be empty. If they didn't reinforce them, the 706th Regiment would be like a sharp knife into their hearts.

The key to this is that the 706th regiment must tear this hole.

Batu's current inaction is to exert a strong pressure on the Mongol army in Kulen City, forcing them not to dare to mobilize large-scale troops to rush to the aid of the Hexi Valley.

However, he is also gambling with his own future and fate, because once the 706th regiment fails to attack, they will have no way out.

Batu knows the consequences. But he knew he had no way out.

With this little strength in hand, compared with the well-equipped Mongolian army, there is no advantage at all. What's more, the Mongolian army has a powerful Soviet army behind it as support.

If you want to win, you have to make a surprise move.

……

Hexi Valley.

The sound of gunfire has already resounded. The dense firepower of the Mongolian army was fired towards the side of the Hexi Valley, and the bullets were like dense rain, and the officers and soldiers of the 706th Regiment lined up in a skirmish line and kept running forward.

The bullets swept in intensively, many people were pierced, and the Mongolian army was strictly disciplined in shooting, and they immediately made up for the missing firepower point, and there was no missing firepower at all.

However, the discipline of the 706th regiment attack troops was stricter. After someone fell, someone immediately followed, and someone kept falling, and someone kept making up, and the team remained the same.

The shouts of the team, the sound of guns mixed with blood and the smell of ammunition echoed in the air, Huang Zhengzhong looked at the opposite side, the Mongolian army's artillery fire was almost all salvo, and the opposite side flashed with various sizes of fire points, and the gun non-commissioned officers around him continued to set up heavy machine guns with long range to suppress the opponent's fire point, and the sound of gunfire filled his ears, and the yellow, orange and orange bullet casings were thrown down one by one.

"Rush forward! Rush up! The shock team kept running and shouting loudly, and at this time their legs were no longer controlled, and they could only keep charging forward.

Finally, the troops rushed through the first wave of defense lines, and the iron stream swept in, crushing the defense line of the Mongol army.

The red-eyed soldiers had no regard for it, and they quickly broke through the first line of defense of the Mongolian army by virtue of their superiority in strength.

After a hole was made in the defensive line, the attacking troops began to pour in.

"Sir, we should open the two wings next, and after opening it from the middle, we must tear this defensive circle apart." The staff officers suggested to Huang Zhengzhong.

Huang Zhengzhong showed unprecedented composure and calmness, he raised his binoculars and looked at the formation of the impact in front of him, the defensive circle of the Mongolian army had been torn apart, and the front line was already in a state of melee.

"All troops are spread out on both flanks, and the battle must be fast!" Huang Zhengzhong threw down the binoculars and let the heralds and trumpeters start to blow the trumpet, in order to confuse the Mongolian army, he prepared dozens of trumpeters in advance, and dozens of trumpeters played the trumpets together, coupled with the chaotic impact of the black pressure, the defending Mongolian army did not know how much money the other party had, and the follow-up defense line collapsed all of a sudden.

"Go up! Go up! "The generals of the front line of the Mongolian army, seeing that the enemy was about to break through the position, hurriedly began to retreat the advance reserve troops for defense.

However, the front line and the subsequent replenishment of troops were chaotic at this time, which led to the inability of the follow-up troops of the Mongolian army to be fully replenished, and their commander was able to stabilize the situation after shooting several deserters.

"Get into position! No one is allowed to retreat! The generals of the Mongolian army shouted loudly, and the Mongolian troops began to enter the positions one by one.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the 706th Regiment had already been killed......
