Battle quickly reined in his turbulent feelings, he could understand his brother's mood at this time, that kind of man-like love, pretended to stand up inadvertently, took off his military hat, touched his hair, leaned down his body a little higher than Tang Qiuli, and said, "Brother, is my hair long, it's time for a haircut?" ”

Tang Qiuli's heart melted in an instant, such a sensible younger brother, he rubbed it a few times on Battle's head, and said with a pretended to blame: "How old are you, you're still a major general, you don't even know if your hair is long, you want to be here with Bai Luoyu, I can't see you!" ”

Zhao Yuhe, who was in a piece, watched quietly like this, between the two brothers with different surnames, the emotions that were stronger than blood, and the enthusiasm in their hearts that was moved, surging one after another, and they couldn't bear to disturb this warm scene, but they were worried that the division commander was immersed in sadness and memories, and forgot that there were more important things waiting to be dealt with.

At this time, the people who broke the siege appeared, Sun Zhenbang was outside, and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, has been ordered to come, what combat tasks are there, please give it to the division commander!" The troops are ready for immediate action! The movement was loud enough, and the two brothers, who were immersed in the fluctuation of love, woke up.

Tang Qiuli put on a military hat for Battle in a dignified manner, turned back to Zhao Yuhe and said, "Say that Cao Cao has arrived, Cao Cao will arrive, and there will be another anxious son!" Then he looked outside and said, "Commander Sun, you come and go often, don't make such a big move, come in!" ”

Sun Zhenbang opened the door curtain, came in and gave Tang Qiuli a military salute first, and when he saw Battle, he couldn't help but complain: "Commander Ba, you are fast enough, you don't even wait for me for a while, there is no way." Dealing with the matter of more than 40,000 Soviet prisoners," he turned his face to Zhao Yuhe and nodded, and said to Tang Qiuli: "Division commander, I'm not late, am I?" ”

Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment, and asked casually: "What's inexplicable, what's late?" ”

Sun Zhenbang was anxious, "Division commander, don't you have a combat mission for our corps?" I came by fast train, and when I came, I said yes to the chief of staff. The troops are waiting for my call! ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and quipped: "Commander Sun has made progress, unpredictable prophet, it seems that you have been prepared for a long time." Successive battles and victories, morale is high, that's good. It's not verbose. Straight to the point! ”

Returning to the chair and sitting down, Tang Qiuli's face turned stern and said, "You two have arrived, okay, assign the task, Sun Zhenbang." I'm afraid there won't be time to rest, and your troops will immediately go north and surround Kulen and Battle. Your armored troops, still operating together with the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, the Battle of Kulen will be carried out immediately, there is not much time for the two of you to consume, and the troops of the two fronts of the Soviet Army withdrawn from the Far East will reach the Chita line in less than four days, and a larger-scale battle will begin soon. ”

"Therefore, the time for the recapture of Kulen is very tight, and I will only give you two five days, that is, you must take Kulen before the evening of April 29, is there any problem? However, there is one request, you can take Cullen, how to fight, I will not intervene, but I am not allowed to beat Cullen to me, after the battle, I want a complete Cullen, not a Cullen that is almost ruined and rubble! ”

Sun Zhenbang and Battle exchanged some surprised glances with each other, the time given by the division commander was so tight, it was something that the two of them did not expect, Kulen is the largest city in Outer Mongolia, although it is the land of four wars, there is no solid defense system, but after all, there is a group army headquarters of the Soviet army and a whole army to defend, plus other Soviet troops around Kulen who have withdrawn into the city, the strength is at least more than 70,000 people.

Moreover, the division commander also asked to save the city and not suffer from the damage of the war, which increased the difficulty of the battle, if it was only more than 70,000 Soviet troops, there was no need to consider the problem of the city, six or seven days was enough, all the artillery of the corps was concentrated, and a shell was smashed over, first destroying the outer fortifications of the Soviet army, and then, the tanks covered the infantry to break into the city, and then there was street fighting, and then it would take three or four days, and it would not be a problem to take Kulen.

But the division commander's request is to exclude the artillery firepower that Sun Zhenbang relies on first, and can only use tanks to cover the infantry, gnawing little by little, if there is enough time, it will not be a problem, ten days and a half months, it can also end the battle, but five days, how can it be enough?

Just as Sun Zhenbang and Battle exchanged glances, Tang Qiuli asked coldly, "What's the matter, there is a difficulty?" - Bring it up right away, I'm not reluctant! ”

Sun Zhenbang was excited, and quickly glanced at Battle, Battle's eyes showed a resolute look, and nodded slightly at him, Sun Zhenbang hurriedly stood up, stood upright, and replied loudly: "Division commander, there is no difficulty, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps resolutely implements the division commander's orders!" ”

Battle also stood up and said in a firm tone: "Division commander, all the armored corps, guarantee to cooperate with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, complete the tasks assigned by the division commander, and take Kulen within five days!" ”

Tang Qiuli's face softened, and said: "It's not a problem for the two of you, Deputy Division Commander Liu's troops on the front line of Chita are facing more than 2 million troops of the two fronts of the Soviet Army, and they urgently need to have reserves. ”

Sun Zhenbang and Battle saluted hard, turned around and walked out, and were stopped by Tang Qiuli shouting, "Come back!" The two stopped in surprise, and Sun Zhenbang asked, "Commander, do you have any other instructions?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "If you have any instructions, I will prepare some small things for the two generals who are about to go on the expedition, No——! "He is jealous and slightly prepared for a new account, convex and blowing, playing saddle Ya Cut, Yun Stir Xi, correcting words, stealing words, Rao stunned, words χ Fu Neon, roasting Ying, Mao swallowing fontanelle, willing to redeem the mound Xian Sakura, Xing Xing, Xuan Xuan, blowing annoyance, pure neck, four cowardice, Xi Sang, Dao, Gong Yu, Yu Zhi, the core of the blade, Su Irrigation Qun

Seeing the backs of Sun Zhenbang and Battle disappear, Zhao Yuhe said with some concern: "Division commander, five days, isn't it too nervous, from the south of Delun to the outskirts of Kulun, hundreds of kilometers away, the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, even if they are all mechanized and urgent, it will take at least a day and a half, and there are less than four days left, it is very difficult to take down the Kulen that more than 70,000 Soviet soldiers are holding onto, division commander, do you think about it?" ”

Tang Qiuli sighed and explained: "Yuhe, the Soviet army doesn't give us time, if the three-way Japanese army in the Far East encircles Zhukov's troops, the Soviet Union's Outer Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front Army turn around and return to help, it will be easy to do, we can deploy calmly, whether it is containment, or intercepting one part of the encirclement, how to fight, the initiative is in our hands." ”

"However, in case the Soviet army does not come back to help, we must take this into account, then, on the Chita line, the Dongzhi and North China Field Corps, as well as the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, we must fight with the Soviet army, although it is not a large-scale, large-scale frontal fierce battle, but more than 3 million troops on both sides, the whole line of fire, the scale is not small, and it will also take time to withdraw the five brigades of the directly subordinate corps in the middle of several major front armies of the Soviet army."

When the two armies confronted each other, the position of more than 70,000 Soviet troops in Kulen City was extremely important, and it was always a knife inserted in the back of the troops under the command of Deputy Division Commander Liu. ”

After a pause, he said with emotion: "Yuhe, Kulun is in the hands of the Soviet army, and I am like a fish in my throat!" The sooner Sun Zhenbang takes Kulen, the more favorable the situation will be for us, and besides, the Dongzhi troops need a reserve force with sufficient strength, and this burden can only be pressed on the shoulders of Sun Zhenbang and Battle! ”

Zhao Yuhe didn't speak anymore, he was silent, he also knew that the division commander gave this order, I don't know how many times after careful consideration, for the Soviet troops withdrawn from the Far East, they must make two preparations, but he still felt that the end of the Kulen Battle in five days was not ordinarily difficult for the Outer Mongolian Field Corps!

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu and Jian yì said: "Division commander, do we adjust the deployment, the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, surround Kulen, and then, withdraw the five brigades of the directly subordinate corps of the Outer Mongolian Front Army that are chasing the Soviet Union, and be responsible for recovering the Kulen Campaign, while the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is free and ready to deal with unexpected situations!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, shook his head and said: "Yuhe, how easy is it, the troops of the five brigades directly under the corps are afraid that they can't be withdrawn now, take Liu Hongzhang's first brigade as an example, now, can you withdraw from the battle?" Zhao Yuhe shook his head, and the room fell silent.

Liu Hongzhang's first brigade really can't let go, his brigade has bitten the two divisions of the Soviet army, and has been fighting for three days in a row, eating up about one-third of the Soviet army's strength, the strength of the first brigade of more than 18,000 people, and more than 30,000 people of the two divisions of the Soviet army, and moreover, at a distance of less than 50 kilometers, is the main force of the left flank of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, which is hundreds of thousands of troops!

Liu Hongzhang's style of play is fierce and aggressive, bold and does not leave a way back. No matter how many troops the Soviet army in front of them, the four regiments under their command, with the first regiment as the sharp knife, and the other two regiments are arranged on the left and right flanks to form a "product" shaped attack arrow, leaving one regiment as a reserve, and other troops such as artillery and other troops, followed closely behind, when they encounter Soviet troops, they will hit them fiercely, and moreover, they will fight in places where there are many Soviet soldiers!

The brigade commander's style of play made the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Liu Chenglin, tremble.
