Chapter Two Thousand and Ninety-Eight: Fighting

The soldiers on the position, even the light blue eyes of the Soviet soldiers, could see it clearly, and when it came to Cheng DΓΉ, who was in close quarters, the commander of the 26th Company didn't have time to think about it, and passed the submachine gun in his hand, "Da Da Da!" A long point shot, a fierce shuttle, "Boom!" With a loud bang, the grenades thrown by the Soviet soldiers exploded around him, smoke and dust burst up, and the sixth company was covered in blood and fell unwillingly in the trenches.

The rest of the Soviet soldiers rushed into the trench in the blink of an eye, and the other soldiers of the sixth company, screaming, waving the guns in their hands, rushed forward, and the fierce battle immediately turned into a hand-to-hand combat, the roars of the soldiers on both sides, the "flutter" sound of the bayonet entering the body, the "clang" sound of the iron hitting together, the sound of panting with "whoop, whoosh", and the screams of the dying were mixed together, and from time to time there was a puddle of blood, splattered out, and a soldier fell.

There were less than 100 people left in the 6th Company, and more than 200 Soviet soldiers who rushed up were scuffling together in the trenches, desperately trying to knock the Soviet troops out of the trenches.

Lieutenant General Hippoliv, the commander of the 37th Group Army, who was originally depressed, immediately lifted his spirits after receiving the report from the troops, and his blue-gray eyes showed an inexplicable light of surprise, "There is hope for a breakthrough, but I didn't expect it, the death squad really opened a gap in the blocking position of the independent division!" "Don't miss the opportunity," ordered, the third group of daredevils, immediately join the battle, continue to expand the breakthrough, and the other troops, immediately attack in this direction! He gave the order loudly.

Colonel Rao Zhonghan, commander of the Third Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, who commanded the position, also received a call from the commander of the regiment at the same time, and learned that the position of the Sixth Company had been broken through by the Soviet army, and his face was full of cold sweat. All the troops of the three brigades were put into the blocking battle, and they did not have a reserve in their hands, and at this critical moment, even the strength of a company was fine, but unfortunately, they did not have it in their own hands.

The three brigades that rushed to Gurban Saihan were the first to line up in a position of several tens of kilometers, and their forces were already weak. The entire blocking line is as thin as a piece of paper, and as long as one thing is torn, the whole line will collapse, and the brigade headquarters guard battalion will be destroyed. All sent to the position, the other regiments. It was even more impossible to draw troops to reinforce the sixth company. The cold sweat on Rao Zhonghan's face rolled down drippingly.

If the Gurban Sai Khan blocking line, in the direction of the 3rd Brigade, is torn open by the Soviet troops, even if the commander does not shoot himself, will he still have the face to live?

"Brigade headquarters staff officers, all the handymen. Pick up your arms and follow me to the front! Chief of Staff, you stay, report the situation to the Corps Command! Rao Zhonghan roared. He grabbed his chair submachine gun and rushed headlong into the battlefield where bullets were flying, and behind him were dozens of staff officers and handymen of the Third Brigade, which was the last bit of strength that the Third Brigade could invest.

At this time, the position of the sixth company was already full of dangers, and the Soviet soldiers who kept rushing up drowned the remaining soldiers of the sixth company in the crowd, and then, the Soviet soldiers who occupied the position of the sixth company began to attack the left and right flanks, and continued to expand the breakthrough, and the adjacent positions of the fifth and seventh companies immediately fell into chaotic hand-to-hand combat, and in the distance, the third wave of Soviet death squads was storming in this direction, and farther away, all the forces of the 37th Soviet Army were concentrated in the direction of this breakthrough.

The Gurban Sai Khan blocking line, because of the third brigade, is crumbling and facing the danger of collapse, if the follow-up troops of the Soviet army rush to this direction and break through the encirclement and escape, it will basically not be a problem, and the other three brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, which are rushing towards Gurban Sai Khan, are still about two hours away, and the six brigades pursuing behind are still crushing the blocking of the Soviet covering forces.

When Sun Zhenbang received the report from the Third Brigade, his hands and feet were cold, and his head was "buzzing!" With a bang, the boss rose up, in the armored command vehicle, gritting his teeth.

Chief of Staff Wang Jun asked eagerly, "Commander, what should I do?" If the position of the Third Brigade is broken through a little, the whole line will be shaken, and the subsequent Soviet troops will follow this opening, seize the road and flee north, and our campaign plan will be a complete failure! ”

Seeing that Sun Zhenbang's eyes were on fire, but he didn't say anything, Wang Jun continued: "Commander, the only way is to report the dangerous situation of the Gurban Sai Khan blocking line to the division commander, and ask the division commander to order the troops in Delun to urgently reinforce us, otherwise it will ......!" ”

Sun Zhenbang is helpless, the entire corps is fighting, and he can't give any substantial support to the Third Brigade, even if he calls Liu Cuigang's bombers to provide air fire support, it's impossible, it's not too late, but the current situation, can't fight, the Soviet soldiers and the soldiers of the Third Brigade have been mixed together, can you let Sun Zhenbang give the order to fight with your own soldiers?

Sun Zhenbang's face turned pale, "Shameful deserter, how did Rao Zhonghan lead the soldiers, the crime is unforgivable, I shot him, I can't report to the division commander, Delun's troops, there is another important task, chief of staff, give orders to the other two brigades, no matter what, we must draw out our troops, support the third brigade and a regiment, block the opening for me, even if it is filled with people, we must take back the position!" Tell a few brigade commanders, the troops are gone, I will replenish him, if the defense line of Gurbansai Khan is lost, come to me with your head raised! The muscles on Sun Zhenbang's cheeks twitched viciously, and he said viciously.

Sun Zhenbang knew that his order was a desperate gamble, tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, according to the current situation of Gurban Sai Khan, the strength of that unit was tight, and then the troops were transferred, it was possible to lead the positions of other brigades, weaken the troops, and be broken through by the Soviet army one after another, but this was the only feasible way, as long as the troops of Gurbansai Khan's blocking line gritted their teeth and held on for two hours, the follow-up three brigade troops would arrive, and a crisis would be solved.

But these two hours are the most fatal, especially the defense line of the Third Brigade, when the Soviet army tore a hole, the Soviet commander who fought with him for several days and nights is not a fool, and will definitely press all his forces to the direction of the breakthrough.

When Chief of Staff Wang Jun gave an order to the troops, he pushed open the door of the armored command car, jumped out of the car, and ripped off the collar of the military uniform, so that the cold north wind blew the bare chest.

took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs hard, the spicy smoke choked him violently, "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" Sun Zhenbang shouted loudly.

Wang Jun jumped down from the armored command car, and before he could gain a firm foothold, Sun Zhenbang hurriedly said: "Immediately send a telegram to Commander Battle, explaining the danger of the Gurban Sai Khan blocking line, and asking his armored troops to attack and advance at the fastest speed, and be sure to catch up after the Soviet army breaks through our blockade!" The frontal attacking troops, followed closely, even if the Soviet army seized the road and fled north, they would bite to the death! ”

These words show that Sun Zhenbang has made the worst plan, if the 11th Brigade of the Corps directly under the regiment that built fortifications for his troops did not return to Delun, how good it would be, it would be the main field force of the old brand, such a scale of resistance warfare, a piece of cake, of course, he himself also knew that it was just a good intention, Ren Zhaoquan's troops, after the transfer of the completion of the work, according to the order of the division commander, had returned to Delun.

On the battlefield of Gurban Saihan, the battle reached the most critical juncture, and the Soviet soldiers who kept coming up, like a crazy beast, constantly tore the positions of the third brigade and a regiment, and the battlefield was chaotic, and hand-to-hand combat was happening everywhere, and all the troops of a regiment were stirred into a huge whirlpool, and in the south of the whirlpool, more Soviet troops were gradually pressing over.

Rao Zhonghan, the commander of the Third Brigade, led the reinforcements of the brigade headquarters, and when he arrived at the position of a regiment, he did not have time to understand the situation, and was immediately involved in the chaotic hand-to-hand combat, fighting everywhere, and there were gunshots like bursting beans everywhere.

Rao Zhonghan sighed, as far as the eye could see, there were battlefields where Soviet soldiers and soldiers were killed together, where to find a regiment to understand the situation? He gritted his teeth and threw himself into the fight, the submachine gun in his hand had already burned the barrel of the gun, if it weren't for the guards around him, who used their bodies and lives to block bullets and bayonets for him, he would have fallen in the trench long ago.

The commanders of the other two regiments of the Third Brigade also realized the crisis of the position of the first regiment, and tried their best to squeeze out some troops and come to reinforce, but in the face of the continuous influx of Soviet soldiers, this little reinforcement was tantamount to a drop in the bucket, but it only slightly prevented the Soviet army's attempt to expand to the two flanks and tear up the breakthrough.

What followed was the collapse of the front line of the Gurban Sai Khan blocking line, the remnants of the 37th Army of the Soviet Army, taking the road and fleeing north, the northern battle of Seyinshanda failed, and only the remaining two brigades could not block the Soviet army, in that way, Delun became the second blocking line, but in Tang Qiuli's hands, the strength was not as much as that of Gurban Sai Khan, and the last choice could only be to reluctantly give up the plan to block the Soviet army, so that the remnants of the 37th Soviet Army could join the receiving troops of the 35th Soviet Army south of Kulun.

"Da-da!" The submachine gun in Rao Zhonghan's hand fired two short shots, and several Soviet soldiers screamed, fell to the ground, and then pulled the trigger, and with a "click", the firing pin made a hollow sound.
