By the time the order of General Kurygin was conveyed to the tank units of the front, the bomber formations of the Northern Flying Group had already appeared over the Segarg River.

Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, commanded the soldiers on the position of the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion, and fought very hard, probably inspired by the follow-up troops to continuously ascend to the south bank, and the attack of the Soviet soldiers became more and more ferocious.

In Wang Qingshan's hands, there was no reserve anymore, and a regiment of troops in the rear of the Troubled Stone Mountain, according to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, was also put into battle, and everyone in the brigade took up arms and went to the forward position, and the battle was carried out to a white-hot Cheng Dù.

All the people of the 1st Brigade only had a steady stream of Soviet soldiers in their eyes, almost instinctively pulling the trigger and pouring bullets on the attacking Soviet soldiers, in the air, only the whistling sound of bullets flying, the explosion of grenades in a row, the air was filled with a choking smell of gunsmoke, the Soviet soldiers went forward one after another, the front was knocked down by bullets, and the back, stepping on the corpses of their companions rushed up, and the corpses were spread all over the river beach.

The casualties of the 1st Brigade increased dramatically, and the few light and heavy machine guns left could not show their heads at all, and just a dozen bullets were fired, and they were immediately suppressed by the fire of several Soviet tanks, and the light and heavy machine guns and shooters were torn apart by the shells, which made the soldiers hate the roots of their teeth, but they were helpless.

Wang Qingshan put on a new magazine, took the time to look at the opposite bank, on the river, the Soviet assault boats, still rapidly approaching the south bank, he suddenly found that it was the Soviet tanks unscrupulously lined up on the north bank, began to panic, there was green smoke behind the buttocks, one after another turned around and ran north. He suddenly realized that the planes of the support troops were coming.

Looking up at the sky, his own group of planes flew over in black, Wang Qingshan's heart became extremely relaxed as if he had moved away a thousand catties of boulders, and he turned his face to see that in the trench on the left, there was a heavy machine gun that was hidden. He hurriedly asked a few guards to help, mounted the heavy machine gun on the fortifications, and said to the guards beside him: "You just have to press the bullet for me, now it's okay, there are no tanks." Lao Tzu has a good time! ”

"Bang" pulled the bolt of the gun and spat into the palm of his hand. Pull the trigger hard. "Da Da Da!" The heavy machine guns, which had been silent for a long time, roared briskly, and the bullets rained down on the attacking Soviet soldiers, condescendingly, and the dense firepower became the pillar of the battalion's position. At that time, the Soviet soldiers were pressed down, as if inspired by the brigade commander, and the light and heavy machine guns were hidden. Joined the ranks of shooting.

The Soviet soldiers could no longer attack, the position of the independent division, close at hand, seemed to be able to reach out and touch, but it was this short distance of dozens of meters, but it was a fire net composed of submachine guns, rifles and grenades, dense bullets, whistling and flying shrapnel, tearing apart an object rolled into the fire net, if it was not for seeing, in the trenches in front, grenades flying out, the Soviet soldiers almost had an illusion, it was thousands of mortars firing a salvo!

Now, the defenders' light and heavy machine guns have joined the ranks of fire attacks, although the number is small, but for the attacking Soviet troops in dense formation, it is a catastrophic blow, the Soviet soldiers in front of them, can not support it, the corpses of their companions are lying in front of them, red blood, stimulating their nerves, and the few light and heavy machine gun fire of the first brigade has become the last straw that crushes the nerves of the Soviet soldiers.

The Soviet soldiers turned around and retreated like the sea at low tide, and Wang Qingshan shouted: "Mortar! Quick, the mortar will give Lao Tzu a butt beating after these bastards, knocking out the Soviet firepower points on the river beach! ”

As if in response to Wang Qingshan's shout, the bomber group of the Northern Flying Group dropped heavy aerial bombs on the Soviet positions on the north bank of the Sejingge River, "Boom, boom! "A huge column of smoke, mixed with dirt, flew into the sky, and on the surface of the river, thick columns of water rose one after another, and the fragments of Soviet assault boats and the broken arms of Soviet soldiers were mixed in the water column.

The escort fighter formation, divided a part of the fighters, strafed the Soviet troops on the river beach, hit the mud splash on the river beach, the body of the Soviet soldiers, under the large-caliber machine gun bullets, was almost torn apart, in the Outer Mongolia border guards blocking position, at a dangerous juncture, the appearance of the bomber group, gave the soldiers the greatest encouragement, the veterans who had risen up, put down their submachine guns, picked up their rifles, and did not hurry to shoot accurately.

Wang Qingshan exhaled the air mixed with the smell of gunpowder in his lungs, and sat weakly in the trench, he was afraid that if it was not for the timely arrival of the bomber group, it was unlikely that the position would be broken through, but the price paid for this would be huge, perhaps, it was possible for a battalion, including the entire first brigade, to fight off more than half of the troops in order to repel the Soviet attack.

Wang Qingshan trembled his hands, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, inhaled sharply, let the smoke turn around in his lungs, spit out comfortably, and snorted with satisfaction, just took a few puffs, the first battalion commander with a face blackened by gunsmoke, ran over excitedly, and said: "Brigade commander, the Soviet army was repelled by us, I ask to bring the first and second companies to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, maybe we can drive the Soviet troops on the river beach into the river!" ”

Wang Qingshan glared at the battalion commander fiercely and said, "I said, why don't you kid grow up!" Counterattack? Is this the time to fight back? Our fighter jets are strafing Lao Maozi's troops, and as soon as you get in, how can people fight? That's not a delay, it's tantamount to saving the lives of Soviet soldiers, besides, look at how many soldiers you still have in your hands, can you fight a counterattack, hurry up, treat the wounded, replenish ammunition, repair fortifications, we can't count on planes, always on top of our heads! ”

The commander of the first battalion grinned and was embarrassed to go to the arrangement, Wang Qingshan looked at the Soviet soldiers on the river beach, who were beaten by fighter jets and machine gun bullets, and thought with regret: "It's a pity, the beachhead of the Soviet army is too close to its own position, otherwise, if the bomber drops a bomb, the foothold of the Soviet army will no longer exist, and the next battle will be much easier to fight, and the Soviet troops are under their noses, after all, it is not a matter!" ”

The bombing continued, and the bombs almost blew the river into a pot of boiling water, and the three regiments were almost wiped out, while the two tank brigades of the Soviet army, which were scattered and hidden, and when they were looking for a place to hide, the bombs fell from the sky, and one tank after another was overturned, and then, the explosion caught fire, and billowing smoke came out.

The German-made "Stuka-type" dive bombers prepared by the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division were called "tank killers," and the disaster of the Soviet tank units came, but in fact, General Kurygin made a fatal mistake when he gave the order for the tank troops to disperse and hide and evade air raids, and the tanks were deployed on every offensive point on a front of more than 20 kilometers, and the Soviet air defense units were also evenly distributed in one place to undertake air defense tasks.

Colonel Huang Manliang, commander of the First Bomber Regiment of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division and commander of the air formation, also discovered this, so he divided the four fighter regiments into several formations to evade the Soviet army's anti-aircraft fire network and specially bomb the scattered and concealed Soviet tanks, so as to achieve the greatest results at the minimum cost.

The bombers of the independent division, in groups of two, chased the Soviet tanks, and accurately threw the bombs on the tanks, and the north bank of the Sejingge River, from the river beach to the depth, became a boiling battlefield, the explosions were endless, the smoke was filled, and the black smoke columns, drifting to the south bank with the northwest wind, shrouded the entire battlefield in a choking and blurry smoke.

In the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army's Seruge River Front Headquarters, Meng Zhaoxu, chief of the Operations Section, stood on a high ground in front of the shelter department, holding a telescope, observing the battlefield situation, and after a while, he turned back to the staff officers beside him and said: "Immediately report to the division headquarters, our bomber group, heavy damage to the Soviet army's river-crossing attack troops, and the Soviet army's tanks that suppressed the fire of our troops, but there are still a large number of Soviet troops occupying a foothold on the river beach." ”

More than an hour later, the bomber group of the independent division returned, and General Kurygin hid in the shelter, his face was pale, and the joints of his fingers were pinched so loudly that they fell short, yes, they were about to pick the wreath of victory, and he even ordered the staff officers to prepare a telegram to the General Staff to report the good news of breaking through the defense line of the Sejingge River of the Independent Division, but the damned Chinese planes appeared and smashed this qiē.

The telegram was lying alone on the shell box, as if laughing at himself, and for wishful thinking just now, a staff officer came over lightly, looked at the commander's cloudy face, and carefully put away the telegram.

General Kurygin also knew that the casualties of the troops would not be small, especially the tank troops, which had almost become a live target for the bombers of the independent division, but he could not do anything about it, and the air force of the military region had just fought a bloody battle with the air force of the independent division, and suffered huge losses, and was unable to seize air supremacy, so he could only let the planes of the independent division wreak havoc, and the three infantry regiments that were crossing the river saw with their own eyes the bloody scene on the river before being forcibly escorted into the shelter by the guards.

At this moment, General Kurykin, who had never been more eager for a powerful air force to support the force, came as soon as possible.

Looking at my watch, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon of September 21, those damn Chinese planes had already returned, leaving for themselves the helpless and unwilling, the devastated battlefield, the troops with heavy losses, and in a while, the chief of staff of Zirnenko would come to report the losses of the troops, although this was the report he did not want to listen to.
