Chapter 790: Ròu Fights

The main force of the 1st Army in the Far East, commanded by Zhukov, adjusted its deployment after the setback of the previous night, concentrated all its artillery fire and bombarded the defensive positions of the 4th Brigade.

The troops of the 4th Brigade had not yet repelled the 1st attack of the Soviet Army, and Zhukov sent the 2nd Attack Echelon up, and the steady stream of Soviet tanks and soldiers finally rushed to the position of the 4th Brigade.

In the rear of the battlefield, Feng Jiwu, although he still had five brigades of troops in his hands, in the face of the fierce blockade artillery fire of the Soviet army, he could not reinforce at all, and all the attack pressure of the Soviet army had to be borne by the four brigades alone.

Faced with such a critical situation, Zhu Dake, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, made a crazy and absolutely necessary decision to carry out a counter-assault on the Soviet army on the whole front, conduct a white-knuckle battle, and get mixed up with the Soviet soldiers.

Zhu Dake's move, jī aroused the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Brigade, tens of thousands of white-knuckle battles, the scene was grand, spectacular, cruel, and bloody, in the face of the Chinese soldiers' bright broadswords, armed with rifles or submachine guns, there was no reaction for a while, stunned, the Chinese soldiers had already rushed into the pile of Soviet soldiers.

What machine guns, cannons, submachine guns, all lost their effect, only the sound of iron hitting together, bursts of shouts and killings, and the strong smell of blood, the Chinese soldiers' lifeless fighting style, how could the Soviet army, which did not pay attention to white-knuckle combat training at all, could bear it, a ball of sword light rolled around in the pile of Soviet soldiers, and everywhere they went, the Soviet soldiers broke and fled, this is Zhu Dake and his guard platoon with high martial arts.

The battlefield shape was reversed, and the officers and men of the Fourth Brigade relied on the broadswords in their hands to press the Soviet soldiers step by step to the outside of the Kazadeu Pass, so that the Soviet tanks and infantry were divided again, and the Soviet tanks saw that the situation was not good, and they turned their heads to retreat.

Zhukov and all the Soviet generals who paid attention to the shape of the battlefield were dumbfounded and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, who would have thought that the battle of tanks, artillery, and submachine guns would turn into a typical white-knuckle battle in the era of cold weapons.

Only at the beginning of this world, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army carried out a white-knuckle charge, but it was not as skillful as the Chinese soldiers, mixing with their own soldiers, so that all their heavy weapons were useless, and under the watchful eyes of the senior Soviet generals, the Soviet troops who rushed into the Kazadeu Pass were once again beaten out, and hundreds of Soviet tanks, emitting thick black smoke, were paralyzed on the positions of the Fourth Brigade.

Seeing the disengagement with the attacking Soviet troops, Zhu Dake immediately ordered the troops to withdraw all the anti-artillery dòng to avoid the ensuing Soviet artillery bombardment.

As soon as he entered the anti-artillery dòng, Zhu Dake threw away the big knife, and shouted repeatedly: "Happy, really happy, I haven't fought such a happy battle for a long time," the range of action was too large, affecting the wounds on his body, and he was cold in pain, beads of sweat appeared on his head, and he grinned straight, "Oops." ”

Feng Jiwu, who was so nervous that his throat was in his throat, witnessed the whole process, smashed his fist on the pillar of the command headquarters, and shouted loudly: "Okay, Zhu Dake did a good job, I really didn't expect that this kid still has a little crooked tricks." The staff officers in the command turned their heads and smiled secretly.

Zhukov angrily threw down the binoculars, the battle that had already won was in sight, but was reversed by the Chinese soldiers' broadswords, "Order, the artillery group of the group army to immediately shell the area, pay attention, and guard against the sneak attack of the squadron's artillery fire." Zhukov ordered a little fiercely, he didn't believe that so many shells couldn't kill Chinese soldiers?

The Soviet army's large-caliber howitzers were again bombarded by fierce shelling, and then, it was tanks covering the infantry charge, Zhu Dake still adopted the old method, mixing with the Soviet tanks and infantry, and the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the brigade used broadswords to cut back Zhukov's continuous infantry and coordinated attacks.

For a whole day, the Fourth Brigade's blocking position did not stop the sound of guns and shouts of killing, pushing back and forth to block and fight until the sun set, repelling the last attack of the Soviet army, the guns and artillery on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the position of the Fourth Brigade could no longer see the original landform, and was plowed countless times by the fierce artillery fire of the Soviet army.

Feng Jiwu greeted the retreated Zhu Dake's Fourth Brigade on the position of the First Brigade of the Second Line of Defense, and the officers and men of the Fourth Brigade, who were ragged and covered with the smell of gunpowder smoke and scarred, passed through the positions in turn and withdrew to the rear to rest.

Zhu Dake lay on the stretcher, took Feng Jiwu's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Report to the commander, the Fourth Brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, completed the blocking mission, and is now ordered to withdraw and rest," Feng Jiwu waved his hand silently, and let the ambulance team carry Zhu Dake away,

He had already learned the whole situation from the chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade, and after a day of fighting, more than 13,000 soldiers of the Fourth Brigade had withdrawn, but more than 6,000 had been withdrawn, of which more than 4,000 were lightly or seriously wounded, and the Fourth Brigade was disabled, mainly caused by Soviet artillery fire.

The Soviets did not take advantage either, about 9,000 Soviet soldiers, lying on the land of the outer méng, more than 400 tanks, turned into burning scrap metal, a day of positional blockade, such a large casualty of the independent division troops, it is rare, and in repeated battles with the Japanese army, the troops have not appeared so severely attrition.

At night, Feng Jiwu drafted a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli in the concealment department: "Division commander, our department had the first battle with the Soviet army last night, and by the time the report was sent, the first day of the battle had ended, and the casualties of the four brigades that blocked more than two-thirds of the battles were rare, and the reason for this was all caused by the heavy artillery fire of the Soviet army. ”

After receiving Feng Jiwu's telegram from the battlefield of Kazadewu Pass, Tang Qiuli knew that the battle situation was far more fierce and cruel than the telegram said, and he disabled a main field brigade in one day, and the pressure Feng Jiwu faced can be imagined, and he was not making smooth progress here, and the Soviet army that went south from Ulan-Ude to the front line of the Onen River did not move, and Tang Qiuli had already opened a net for a few days in the big pocket prepared in the Hangai Mountains, and the hateful Soviets just didn't get in.

Tang Qiuli couldn't sleep all night, the battlefield around Kulen was silent, it was definitely not in line with his own wishes, and if he didn't solve the 120,000 Soviet troops in front of him, the direct corps would not be able to chōu to meet Zhukov's main force, judging from the current actions of the Soviet army, Zhukov seemed to have judged his intentions, and he hoped that the Soviet army would just stick to him.

If he commanded the troops to attack head-on, the Soviet army would always retreat, attracting his main army to stay away from the outer Méng ancient area, and after Zhukov broke through Feng Jiwu's defensive line, he could directly take Kulen and sweep the outer Méng Gu, the Soviet army on the opposite side, and walk while fighting, and if he didn't fight, he would stick to himself without dispersing, and he was cunning like a loach.

Adding fuel to the fire was that Liu Tiehan sent a telegram from the Jinzhou front, "The division is directed and transferred to the division commander, recently, the various units of the Kwantung Army have been frequently transferred, and the Japanese troops scattered in various places have all concentrated in the areas of Tai'an and Sujiatun, and it seems that there is an attempt to take the opportunity to launch a new offensive; according to the intelligence of the Northeast, it is expected that the Kwantung Army will be assembled around mid-September, and I judge that this will be the time for the Kwantung Army to launch the offensive in western Liaoning." ”

It is impossible to delay the war in the outer méng ancient times, and if it drags on for a long time, it will form an unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts, and at the same time it will fight with two countries with strong military strength, Tang Qiuli has not yet been arrogant to this extent, but what can be done to solve the 120,000 Soviet troops on the opposite side as quickly as possible?

Tang Qiuli turned his head and asked Chang Feng, chief of staff of the division and chief of staff of the corps, "Chief of Staff Chang, what do you think of the current battle situation?" Chang Feng thought for a while and replied: "Division commander, I am directly under the main force of the corps, and I am spending it in the Hangai Mountains like this, it is not a way after all, where is the pressure on Commander Feng very great, my plan is that we will take the initiative to attack and annihilate or defeat the Soviet army in front of us." ”

"Zhukov's plan to encircle on two sides cannot be realized, he will face a choice, continue to attack the Kazadeu Pass, and attack the east to take Kulen's plan unchanged, or stay where to observe our next move, no matter which point, we can form the initiative strategically."

Tang Qiuli sighed and said: "I don't want to deal with the Soviet army on the other side, but, looking at the movements of the Soviet army, they will not make head-on contact with us at all, they will run away as soon as they fight, their garrisons are all outside the three-hour march, Zhukov does have a set of troops." ”

Chang Feng pondered, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and said: "Division commander, we have the advantage in strength and firepower, why don't we come and outflank the two wings, put 120,000 Soviet troops in our pockets, and annihilate them in one fell swoop," After speaking, he also made a gesture of closing his hands.

Tang Qiu's eyes lit up, this is indeed the best way to solve the current stalemate, he has not not considered it, but limited to the terrain around the Onen River, the mechanized corps has to outflank it for a long time, and it has to pass through a large swamp, which is a trap for tanks and trucks, which is time-consuming and laborious, and I am afraid that before the troops reach the designated place, the Soviet army will retreat, and it is a stalemate situation, so it is impossible to make up its mind for a long time.
