In the face of the remnants of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army, desperately and frantically breaking through, the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, together with the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate Corps, fought in the blocking battle of Gurban Sai Khan, and the artillery fire was continuous, the bullets were like flying locusts, smoke and dust were everywhere, and flesh and blood were flying, and the battlefield was like porridge in a boiling pot, evaporating fresh life.

The 37th Soviet Army, which fought desperately and broke through the most crazily, did not make any progress, the blocking line in front of him, like an iron wall, every time he approached, he was bounced back by force, and his head was broken and bleeding, leaving countless corpses, Lieutenant General Hippoliv, the commander of the group army, looked at the battlefield in a state of stalemate, a heart that had sunk to the bottom of the valley, fell more and more into a darker abyss, and his eyes became more and more dull.

"If in the north of Seyinshanda, when the battle has just broken out, your own artillery is not destroyed by the artillery of the independent division, if you do not order the tank units of the group army to constantly act as a rearguard and block the troops of the independent division that are in hot pursuit, if the artillery and tanks are left, the blocking position of the independent division in front of you is still an obstacle?" Lieutenant General Hippoliv thought gloomily.

The answer is, of course, no, the cruel reality is that all the artillery, tanks and heavy equipment of the 37th Army were destroyed by the artillery of the original independent division, and then lost all during the hasty retreat, and in the hands of Lieutenant General Hippoliv, not even a single artillery company could be made, there were not so many ifs and assumptions in the world, only cold reality, Lieutenant General Hippoliv sighed gloomily, and the feeling of despair and powerlessness filled his heart.

Just when Comrade Commander was saddened, a senior staff officer, with the smell of gunpowder smoke all over his body, came in and reported: "Report to Comrade Commander. The troops that broke through suffered heavy casualties, and joined the independent division position of the later unit, which was even more difficult to break through, and even our soldiers could not approach the position. Concentrate all the forces, take the approach of a focused offensive, and break through a little, otherwise, the troops are extremely likely. Consume all in Gurbansai Khan! ”

The words of the senior staff officer completely ignited the hysteria of Lieutenant General Hippoliv. "What? Pause the offense? Adjusting your deployment? Stupid pigs - all stupid pigs with no brains! Think about it with your brain. Will the Chinese give us time to adjust the deployment? Behind us, in hot pursuit, are more than 100,000 soldiers of the independent division, thousands of tanks, and you asked me to give the order to suspend the offensive? He roared in rage, cold spittle. Squirt in the face of this senior staff officer.

"Time, what we lack the most, is time! The Chinese do not give us time, any hesitation or hesitation. will ruin our last hope, convey my orders, and attack at any cost, and if that commander doubts my orders, I will let him be the first to rush to the front! Just go! Lieutenant General Hippoliv, who roared angrily and his eyes were red, even drew his pistol and made a back-and-forth gesture on the head of the senior strategist.

The senior staff officer was so frightened that he ran away, and as he ran, he muttered to himself, "It's over, Comrade Commander is crazy, he has lost his mind, and he can't even listen to correct opinions!" "If under normal circumstances, this construction is absolutely justified, the offensive is frustrated, and the troops suffer heavy casualties, they should readjust their deployment and find an effective way to break through, but here and now, it is not appropriate.

Lieutenant General Hippoliv is justified in anger, there is a blockade in front, there is a pursuer in the rear, it is necessary to break through the blocking of the enemy in front of him, seize the road and flee as a top priority, although crazy, the idea is still correct, but it has not received results, the damned blocking position of the Chinese, like an iron bolt, lies across Gurbansai Khan, blocking the retreat of the army group to Kulen, it seems that the 37th Army is going to be destroyed here, he has clearly seen the outcome of the battle.

Within more than an hour, the Soviet army completely adopted the tactics of crowds, and did not pay attention to the rhythm of the attack, and groups of Soviet soldiers, like moths throwing fire, poured up one by one, and fell one by one under the dense fire net of the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps.

After the war, many soldiers of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps who participated in the Gurban Saihan Resistance Battle almost always had a few words to their comrades-in-arms in other brigades when they talked about the battle situation, "Good guy, that miserable, the fight was soft, and the barrels of the guns were red!" At a glance, there are old Mao soldiers everywhere, bloody corpses, and blood everywhere! ”

Such a bloody blocking battle, for the soldiers of the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, is commonplace, the little devil's white-bladed charge is ruthless enough, enough to play with his life, and he is still instigated, so after the battle, there is nothing to talk about, for those veterans who have seen a big scene, it is just an unusual battle!

Lieutenant General Hippoliv, who had already fallen into hysteria, desperately squeezed out the last bit of blood, and frantically attacked the blocking position of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, with only one order, "Attack - attack regardless of casualties!" "Having disabled a unit, gathered it up, put it into the next offensive echelon, and then continued the offensive, his order made the southern part of Outer Mongolia, this inconspicuous town - Gurbansai Khan, become the meat grinder of the Soviet Army's 37th Army.

What is more far-reaching is that the cruel and bloody Gurban Sai Khan Resistance Battle has become a battle that cannot be ignored on the road to the growth of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, especially these three infantry brigades, after the baptism of war, quickly grew into the main brigade of the Corps, according to post-war statistics, at least more than 60,000 Soviet soldiers fell on this dozens of kilometers long front, becoming wisps of grievances in a foreign land.

God obviously did not stand on the side of Lieutenant General Guhippoliv, commander of the 37th Soviet Army, the god of fate, nor did he see his hysterical madness, let alone the blood of the Soviet soldiers stained the blood of the earth, the corpses everywhere, the time decided a qiē, more than two hours later, when the corpses of the Soviet soldiers were already covered with the cold land of Outer Mongolia, the moment to decide the fate of the 37th Soviet Army finally came.

The other three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, which pursued from the left and right flanks, rushed to Gurbansai Khan, without breathing, the troops were directly engaged in the battle, and the passage for the Soviet army to withdraw to Kulen was completely closed, and Ren Zhaoquan, who received the report, laughed happily in the sky, "Hahaha!" Lao Maozi's 37th Group Army, look where you are running this time! ”

Ren Zhaoquan is full of confidence, he already has seven brigades of troops in his hands, more than 100,000 troops, especially his eleventh brigade is an old main force, and the Soviet army has been sharply reduced to less than 60,000 after more than two hours of attrition, as for the morale of the troops, it is not a grade, in fact, there is no need for each unit to report, from the telescopic lens, seeing the corpses of Soviet soldiers everywhere, Ren Zhaoquan has a rough judgment in his heart.

The three subsequent infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps joined the battlefield, bringing not only a multiplied increase in troops, but also the most important morale, "In a few hours, just the Soviet army has attacked, and with the capital in hand, it should be their turn to fight a counterattack, perhaps, before the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps are in frontal pursuit, they have already eaten the Soviet army!" Ren Zhaoquan thought.

Putting down the binoculars, Ren Zhaoquan's eyes were full of murderous anger, and he said to Chief of Staff Fu Dechun: "Chief of Staff, order all brigades, organize the troops, and after half an hour, launch a counterattack on the Soviet army on all fronts!" Tell the brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps that all the troops should be used and no reserves should be left! ”

It has lost the momentum of the offensive and is no longer as crazy and fierce as it was at the beginning, but under the strict orders of the group army headquarters, it is still powerless to maintain an offensive posture, but all the Soviet officers and soldiers know very well in their hearts that the offensive is nothing more than maintaining a little hopeless illusion, but even this last illusion of the independent division troops on the blocking line of Gurban Sai Khan must be completely shattered.

Half an hour later, in front of the blocking position of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, the Soviet soldiers who were unable to attack and did not dare to retreat, were pressed by the fire on the bare ground, and strangely found that the position that had taken the lives of countless partners no longer spit out the rain of metal bullets, and from the beginning of the battle, the shells were uninterrupted, and they no longer fell, and the battlefield fell into extreme silence in an instant, however, this quietness only lasted less than three minutes, and the blue-gray eyes of the Soviet soldiers were horrified to see that countless figures jumped up from the position, the muzzle of the gun spouted a tongue of fire, and a wild wolf-like swept in!

The six infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, which had the advantage in strength and morale on the battlefield, and the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade directly under the corps, launched a full-front counterattack against the remnants of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army, which had been beaten to the ground!

Lieutenant General Hippoliv put down his binoculars in a gloomy manner, he knew that the 37th Army had no hope at all, at this time, no matter what he did, it was in vain, and around him, a large group of senior officers were also like ashes, and they all felt like a catastrophe, and in the distance, groups of soldiers retreated in a panic.

"Where to retreat? There are still more than 100,000 pursuers of independent divisions behind! Lieutenant General Hippoliv chuckled nervously and murmured, "Comrades, the outcome of the battle is already obvious, we have failed, the 37th Army, from now on there will be no zài, I will not be a prisoner of the Chinese, you should not be a prisoner, comrades, for the sake of the Soviets, for Comrade Stalin, we should have our own choice!" ”
