Tang Qiuli commanded the direct corps, the pursuit of the troops of the Soviet Transcaucasian Military District, the battlefield gradually shifted to the south bank of the Sejingge River, Liu Tiehan's wolf pack tactics are also applicable here, the frontal assault group with Battle's three tank brigades as the main attack force, three mechanized infantry brigades accompanied the attack, always tightly biting the tail of the Soviet army, biting a piece, eating a piece.

The assault groups on the left and right flanks continued to attack on both sides of the Soviet army's retreat route, among them, the East Road attack group commanded by Liu Hongzhang fought the most fiercely and fiercely, and the troops participating in the Sejingge River blocking battle, including the first and second brigades of the directly subordinate corps and the four infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, did not forget that tens of thousands of comrades-in-arms fell under the Soviet army's shells, bombs, and bullets during the week-long blocking battle on the south bank.

At the operational meeting, Liu Hongzhang said to all the brigade commanders and regiment commanders attending the meeting, "The division commander is about to take action against the troops of the Soviet Transcaucasian Military District. ”

"I don't need to say more, everyone knows how to fight, the brothers lying on the south bank of the Sejingge River, watching us underground, the division commander gave us a chance to take revenge, I put forward an idea, the division commander requires the flank troops, not to surprise and retreat the Soviet troops in too deep depth, to exhaust and consume the Soviet army's vital forces, and stipulate that the flank attack position, not less than three kilometers away from the Soviet army, is mainly artillery shelling!"

Speaking of this, Liu Hongzhang looked at the brigade commander and the regiment commander, and said in a seductive tone: "Guys, you say, this way of playing. Enjoyable"

The brigade commanders and regiment commanders below, of course, were not satisfied with the regulations of the division commander, and shouted together: "Commander Liu, do you still need to ask?" At a distance of three kilometers, rifles and submachine guns are out of reach, light machine guns have just been set aside, and only heavy machine guns and artillery can eat meat, so that we, the soldiers with submachine guns and rifles, will stare dryly? What can you do. Speak up! ”

Liu Hongzhang was very satisfied with the effect of his agitation, and said: "Here, I will change it and move the infantry position forward by 2.5 kilometers. Close to the route of the retreat of the Soviet troops, a distance of five hundred meters. You can get any gun. After discovering that the Soviet troops had withdrawn, the large and medium-caliber artillery, not stingy with shells, should form a blockade line, and cut off a large piece of the Soviet troops facing it. Then, the mortar covers the infantry assault, and if you want to eat, you will bite off a large piece of Lao Maozi's meat! ”

Liu Hongzhang said it happily. The brigade commanders and regiment commanders below could hear their eyebrows fluttering, and Major General Ouyang Yishan, deputy commander of the East Road Assault Group and commander of the Second Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, quietly pulled Liu Hongzhang's shirt and whispered: "Brigade Commander Liu, you are blatantly disobeying the orders of the division commander, be careful of making mistakes!" Is it safer to ask the division commander and then make a decision! ”

Liu Hongzhang was not happy to listen, looked Ouyang Yishan up and down, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Ouyang, I don't usually see it, you are quite timid, please tell the division commander, he will definitely not agree, then let's not do anything, I am the commander, I am responsible for something, I don't believe it, you are so satisfied with the regulations of the division?" Besides, no one stabbed the division commander anywhere, who knows? ”

Ouyang Yishan was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and he said in his heart, "How can this guy Liu Hongzhang be like a mad dog, who will bite whom?" I kindly reminded you, until you were accused of being cowardly, if it weren't for seeing your Lao Liu fall over, he didn't bother to remind you, so your first brigade could fight? My second brigade is not vegetarian either! Pull it on the battlefield for training, no worse than your Liu Hongzhang's troops! ”

Seeing Ouyang Yishan, who is usually honest, the green tendons on his neck jumped up, and he wanted to reason with himself, Liu Hongzhang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, brother, I don't have a door on my mouth, and it hurts people as soon as I exit, I take back what I just said, but how to fight, I still follow my routine, and say something heart-wrenching to your brother, don't fight hard, I'm not happy in my heart!" ”

Ouyang Yishan knew Liu Hongzhang's temper, and when he saw that he was soft, he didn't say anything more, "hummed", sat down angrily, and stopped talking.

Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade, who also served as the deputy commander of the East Road Assault Group, looked at the two of them, just a smile, Liu Hongzhang glanced at Fang Yuanshan and said: "Old Fang, don't patronize and giggle, give a happy word, do you agree with my fighting style?" ”

Fang Yuanshan said slowly: "If Lao Xiao of the Ninth Brigade is here, the two of you will hit it off, you are both bold guys, you are the commander, how to beat you has the final say, I will just listen to the order!" ”

Hearing Fang Yuanshan's words, Liu Hongzhang snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Slippery head, you, you really don't have Lao Xiao's temper, even if you agree!" ”

At the beginning of the battle to flank the Soviet army, the East Road Attack Group commanded by Liu Hongzhang, three brigades of the Corps directly under the Corps, four infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, and 780,000 people, attacked on all fronts, leaving no back, like a group of hungry wolves with blue eyes.

Liu Hongzhang was also accurate, the Soviet army was in a hurry to retreat, and would never dare to counterattack and entangle, so he ordered the troops to let go of their hands and feet to fight a special attack, artillery shells were fireworks, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns were like a typhoon, and the infantry attacked wave after wave like a rising tide.

With such a ferocious fighting style, the casualties of the troops will naturally not be small, but Liu Hongzhang believes that every qiē is worth it, and there are many more Soviet soldiers who fell under the guns of their own soldiers!

The Soviet troops, who had been fiercely attacked, naturally had to avoid the ferocious attack from the east road, and leaned in the direction of the west road, and a large number of Soviet troops came over, and the pressure on the Qiaomanshan troops of the west road attack group suddenly increased, and the distance of three kilometers became two kilometers, then less than one kilometer, and finally, to the point where the infantry fired at each other.

The situation on the battlefield has changed abnormally, Tang Qiuli naturally noticed it, and made a phone call to Qiao Manshan's headquarters, "Qiao Manshan, what's going on with your West Road Attack Group?" Why did the infantry positions come out? The artillery that is assigned to you, is it an ornament? This will increase the casualties of the troops! Side fighting, it's not your style of play! Immediately gather the infantry back, distance yourself from the Soviets, and give full play to the advantages of artillery fire! ”

Qiao Manshan replied very aggrievedly: "Division commander, I completely followed the orders and regulations of the division commander, and did not move the infantry position forward, and I don't know what the reason is, a large number of Soviet troops suddenly leaned over, but they were not the ones who broke through from our direction!" ”

After a pause, Qiao Manshan said in a hesitant voice: "Division commander, you might as well ask Brigade Commander Liu of the East Road Attack Group, the problem may appear in their direction!" ”

Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli patted his head like a sudden realization, and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Hey! How did I forget Liu Hongzhang's stubble, it must be Liu Hongzhang's ghost, he was red-eyed, the infantry attacked too fiercely, and drove the Soviet army to the side of Qiaomanshan, this Liu Hongzhang, if you don't pay attention, you will stab Lou Zi! Forgot the orders of the teacher? This is a blatant disobedience to orders, which is greater than Le Yiqin's courage! ”

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the phone, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe held down the phone with a smile and said: "Division commander, don't be busy getting angry first, I think that Brigade Commander Liu's fighting style is not impossible, I checked the battle report of the East Road Attack Group, their attack on the Soviet army is very effective, the casualties of the Soviet army have increased greatly, hundreds of kilometers of retreat route, how many troops the Soviet army has to take inside, continue to fight like this, before the Soviet army reaches the south bank of the Sejingge River, I am afraid that it will be eaten by us!" Chief of Staff Yang's troops, it's not a trouble-free thing! ”

"And, judging by the reports of the troops, the fact that the Soviet troops were in a hurry to retreat and did not want to fight with our troops, and did not launch even a single counterattack, proves this! Brigade Commander Liu's style of play is reasonable, not blind! ”

Tang Qiuli thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said to Zhao Yuhe: "It makes sense, although the casualties of the troops have increased, but the losses of the Soviet army are greater, it seems that I am conservative, Yuhe, you call Qiao Manshan and tell him, you have the ability, and then call the Soviet troops who came over, and then call back to Liu Hongzhang!" ”

The battlefield in northern Outer Mongolia was a battle, and from the morning of 29 September, the air battle began, and until nightfall, the directly subordinate corps had no intention of stopping, and continued to storm the retreating Soviet troops.

The soldiers of the pursuing regiment were surprised to see that along the way, the trucks abandoned by the Soviet army could be seen everywhere, which were burning, the corpses of the soldiers were lying on the dry yellow grass, and the wounded soldiers were wailing helplessly in the night wind.

The rout soldiers wandered in the dark night, lonely and ghostly, they had been abandoned, in a strange land, they could not find their own direction, the sound of guns and cannons everywhere made them even more frightened, and when they encountered the soldiers of the independent division, they could not afford to resist at all, and immediately raised their hands to surrender!

The troops directly under the corps that attacked head-on had to divide part of their forces to capture prisoners and contain the wounded Soviet soldiers, and the speed of the pursuit was slowed down, especially the armored troops of Battle, and the tanks could not crush the wounded Soviet soldiers.

This is also a helpless thing, treating the Soviet soldiers can't be like treating the little devils, one shot, Tang Qiuli doesn't allow the troops to do that, they are all enemies, and they also have a feud and a common day.

The speed of the retreat of the Soviet army is not unfast, this retreat is more like a rout of more than 100,000 people, although General Kurygin does not admit this, but the fact is that from the evening to the dawn of September 30, less than half of the more than 100,000 troops of the Transcaucasian Military District remained!
