Chapter Two Thousand and Ninety-Six: The Battle of Gurban Sai Khan
Hearing what the division commander said, Zhao Yuhe also smiled, "Yes, division commander, I'm too worried, can you be idle, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days and nights, go and take a rest, I'll just stare at the headquarters!" He smiled and said.
I was really a little sleepy, last night, I didn't rest well, my brain was always running at a high speed, and I was more tired than not sleeping, but now, it's not the time to rest assured, "Yuhe, do you see that I have the life to sleep steadily, the Soviet army in the direction of Kulun, within two or three days, don't pay attention to it, the Japanese are starting to fight back, the Far East is about to be lively, contact Deputy Division Commander Liu and ask about the situation in the Far East!" Tang Qiuli said with a wry smile.
At more than nine o'clock in the morning, the vanguard of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army, which fled all the way north, finally saw the shadow of the small town of Gurbansai Khan on the vast grassland.
Immediately, a dense rain of bullets like flying locusts poured over, and the Soviet soldiers who were still dizzy and ran forward, trying to occupy Gurbansai Khan, burst out of their bodies with blood and fell to the ground in pieces, and the troops of the three brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, in the first round of shooting, beat the vanguard of the Soviet army into a dizzy and suffered many casualties.
"It's over—no end!" Lieutenant General Hippolyv, commander of the 37th Soviet Army, who received the report, screamed miserably, his face was as ugly as ashes, "Who can tell me that when did the troops of the Independent Division build such complete fortifications in Gurbansai Khan?" How did those Chinese soldiers run to the front outside? "He to the staff officers of the command. Roared loudly.
The staff officer, who was also unable to answer the question of the comrade commander, was originally the retreat of the group army, which did not drag its feet in the slightest, kept a certain distance from the pursuing troops of the independent division, and according to the estimate of the comrade commander, before reaching Kulen, the troops of the independent division were in reluctantly pursuit. It will not catch up with the main force of the group army, and when it comes to the vicinity of Kulen, then there is no need to worry, the thirty-fifth group army has already sent the vanguard of an army. Bound for the Delun line.
However, Gurbansai Khan is still dozens of kilometers away from Delen. Units of separate divisions. A blocking line had been set up, blocking the only way to withdraw to Kulen, and all Soviet officers, including Lieutenant General Hippoliv, knew in their hearts that if they could not break through the line of resistance of the troops of the independent division at Gurban Sai Khan. The 37th Army will have to be all finished here, return to Kulen, and don't even think about it!
After waiting for Lieutenant General Hippoliv's affection, after calming down a little. A senior staff officer said cautiously: "Comrade commander, we have not yet reached a desperate situation where there is no way out, and the troops of our independent division will not be too many in Gurbansai Khan. ”
"This shows that the troops of the independent division, continuous pursuit, heavy equipment are lagging behind, our troops, far surpassing them, with infantry light weapons, can not force us into a desperate situation, now, the most dangerous, is not in Gurban Sai Khan to block our independent division troops, but the independent division troops in close pursuit, more than 1,000 tanks, enough to crush any of our blocking actions, time is pressing, please comrade commander do his best to decide the next move of the troops!"
Lieutenant General Hippoliv also recovered, and was annoyed by his gaffe, "What's wrong with me?" From the moment the artillery of the separate division was hit, the troops began to retreat, they behaved unprepared, were frightened, and broke their courage? "Although this is true, Lieutenant General Hippoliv will never admit it.
Looking at the officers with panic on their faces, Lieutenant General Hippoliv tried his best to calm his head, and he couldn't afford to delay, if he panicked because of the intercepted independent division troops, he wandered in Gurbansai Khan for two or three hours, and waited for the pursuers of the independent division behind him to catch up, it was impossible to leave, and it would really be all over in one qiē!
Lieutenant General Hippoliv was sure that the tanks of the Independent Division, which had pursued and crushed his countless blocking lines, and more than 100,000 soldiers of the Independent Division, could tear the remaining 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers to shreds, "Order, the 15th Army, the avant-garde force, do not do anything at any cost, break through the enemy's blockade and open the passage of Gurbansai Khan, if the 15th Army suffers heavy casualties and loses its offensive capability, the 14th Army will take over the attack!" He said through gritted teeth.
There is no other way, to break the blockade of the independent division troops, you can only use human lives to pile up, as long as you can return to Kulen safely, and if you have disabled the troops, you can also recover, the most important thing in the Soviet Union is manpower, look around the officers around you, as well as the senior officers of the 15th Army and the 14th Army who received an urgent order and rushed over, "These people will also be put into the battlefield, and they will play an unexpected role!" Lieutenant General Hippoliv thought to himself.
Before these people are sent to their deaths, it is necessary to establish their conviction of dedication to Comrade Stalin, and the tone of Lieutenant General Hippoliv is somewhat tragic, but even more infectious, "Comrades, the time has come to decide our life and death, and if we break through the enemy resistance in front of us, we will be able to join the troops of the 35th Army!" ”
"In order to achieve this goal, we must not be afraid of any casualties, party members, fight in the front line of the charge, form death squads, bravely face the enemy's bullets, open the passage for the troops, all the political commissars at all levels, immediately go down to the assault troops, explain to the fighters, why we are doing this, well, comrades, the Soviets will remember our heroic deeds, for Comrade Stalin, fight! - Fight! ”
Lieutenant General Hippoliv's eloquence was good, his voice was full of emotion, and he made an impassioned incitement to the blood of these Soviet officers, and it seemed that Comrade Stalin, just in front of the big window of the Kremlin, watched his brave actions, stood up and saluted one by one, his face was full of tragedy and passion, and turned away, desperately for Comrade Stalin!
"They are all brave warriors, and perhaps, many of them, will never come back! No, maybe all! The corners of Lieutenant General Hippoliv's eyes were a little moist, and he knew very well that it was not easy to break through the resistance of the troops of the Independent Division, from the north of Sainshanda to Gurbansai Khan, and he pursued tirelessly and sleeplessly for two days and two nights, and the commander of the Independent Division was determined to kill the 37th Group Army.
If you can have the opportunity to block yourself, how can you be easily broken out by yourself? Whether it is a death squad or a party member charge, it is just countless more corpses, Lieutenant General Hippoliv's heart flashed a trace of unbearable, but this could not bear it, and he was immediately forcibly expelled, and when he heard that the retreating road was blocked, he did not think that if he followed the path of General Kulygin, the former commander of the Transcaucasian Military District, and surrendered to the Chinese, then 890,000 soldiers and his own lives would be retained.
But the most secret thoughts in my heart, like lightning and flint, flashed by, Comrade Stalin and the Cheka Agency, the treatment of the relatives of the surrendered Soviet officers and soldiers, made Lieutenant General Hippoliv shudder, from the fear in his bones, a lesson from the past, what happened to the relatives of the surrendered officers of the Transcaucasian Military District, but he has heard and witnessed a lot, do you dare to follow their path?
The answer is very certain, dare not and can't, so even if the 37th Group Army fought hard in Gurbansai Khan, he was captured by the Chinese, or he was killed by Chinese soldiers, and he was left in the wilderness, he had to fight down, and the whole army was captured and surrendered by raising his hands, which are two nature problems, and he and all the officers and men of the 37th Group Army did their best, God will not bless me, it is not a crime of war, presumably Comrade Stalin, will not be too embarrassed by his relatives, right?
The well-trained Soviet army moved quickly, and after the vanguard received a surprise blow, the death squad was quickly organized, and they all said that the Japanese army's white-knuckle charge was terrifying, and the Soviet soldiers who played with their lives started to charge, crazy energy, and there was no need for the Japanese soldiers to go anywhere!
It is more likely that it was the encouragement of Commander Hippoliv that gave these Soviet party members who rushed to the front the courage to sacrifice themselves for Comrade Stalin, and more than 10,000 tall Soviet soldiers, lined up in a skirmish line, raised their submachine guns and rifles in their hands, and swept across the steppe full of dry grass and rushed towards Gurbansai Khan, Russian "Ulla!" The shout shook the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was very amazing!
It was less than a thousand meters away from the blocking positions of the three brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division, and on the positions of the Independent Division, there was no sound of gunfire in return, which almost made these charging Soviet soldiers think that the bullet they had just received was an illusion.
For this kind of group charge of more than 10,000 people, in the eyes of the soldiers of the veteran field regiment of the independent division, it is nothing, when the little devils play this set, how many times have they seen it, probably except for the observation post that monitors the enemy, the other fighters will not even look at it.
However, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is a newly formed unit, and except for four of its infantry brigades, which have participated in the battle to block the Sejingge River, the rest of the troops have not even participated in a brigade-sized battle.
Looking at the tall Soviet soldiers, stepping on the dust, rushing up like a bull, the soldiers of the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, although they chased all the way from the north of Saiyin Shanda to Gurbansai Khan, the battle was smooth, and it seemed to be like a rainbow, but the Soviet army was in a hurry to flee and did not fight head-on at all.
