Chapter 1851: Blocking the Breakthrough
In the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army's Sejingge River Blocking Line, in the battlefield environment of artillery fire and deafening murderous sounds, an operation was being prepared intensively, medical equipment was constantly being transported, and after the doctor's rescue, Sun Zhenbang had come to his senses.
Listening to the constant sound of shell explosions outside, and the whistling sound at the top of his head, Sun Zhenbang asked Lieutenant Colonel Meng Zhaoxu, chief of the Operations Section, in a weak voice: "Chaoxu, our artillery has begun to shell the second echelon of the Soviet army, how is the effect?" ”
Meng Chaoxu stared intently at the north bank of the river, didn't dare to turn his head, and replied: "Commander, you can do surgery with peace of mind, the effect of the shelling is very good, it has disrupted the assembly of the second echelon of the Soviet army, and the assault boats that were launched in the water were also sunk by our shells!" ”
Sun Zhenbang asked again: "Did the forward troops repel the attack of the Soviet army, and how was the battle going?" How do I listen, the gunfire is not so dense? ”
Meng Zhaoxu quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and replied: "I just received a call, and the troops have successfully blocked the breakthrough and suppressed the attack of the Soviet army!" ”
The middle-aged military doctor who was the chief knife came to Meng Zhaoxu's side, quietly pulled his shirt, the two quickly exchanged glances, the military doctor nodded, the operation was about to start, Sun Zhenbang felt his head heavy, a burst of irrepressible sleepiness hit, his eyelids seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds of boulders, he said angrily in an inaudible voice: "Holy shit, or gave me anesthetic, which bastard's idea?" Then he was plunged into boundless darkness.
Meng Zhaoxu left the observation hole, walked quickly to the telecommunications room, and said to the operator: "Send a report, division commander, my Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, Meng Zhaoxu, Lieutenant Colonel Operations Section Chief of the Seruge River Front Command. To report to you an emergency, the Soviet army launched a second attack on our position at about 9:30 this morning, and the battle was fierce, and the Soviet army used more than 500 tanks to suppress and destroy the firing points of our forward positions with tank artillery. ”
"By about ten o'clock, the battle was more intense, and the first attack wave of the Soviet army had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the fighters on the forward positions of our troops. And the second offensive echelon of the Soviet army was also being assembled, but it was bombarded by our artillery, and in the battle, Commander Sun was seriously wounded and fell into a coma. Surgery is underway, when will you wake up. Can't be sure. I took the place of command, and at present, the battle is still raging, in a state of stalemate, and the tanks of the Soviet army pose a great threat to our forward positions. Ask the division commander to send air fire support! ”
The situation on the battlefield was indeed as Meng Zhaoxu described, the Soviet troops who attacked Poland first were unable to expand the breakthrough. The troops of the Outer Mongolian border guards could not completely drive out the Soviet troops, and the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely at every breakthrough, everywhere there were shouts, grenade explosions, and the position was filled with a smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood.
Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the First Infantry Brigade, has long been involved in the fight with the soldiers of the guard company, and his position is the position of the Second Regiment, which is the most prominent part of the arc defense line of the First Brigade.
Therefore, the Soviet army took the position of the second regiment as one of several major breakthrough points, invested the strength of three regiments, and the artillery fire also bombarded the position several times, at the beginning of the battle, the second regiment and the first battalion were under great pressure, and it was the first position to be broken through by the Soviet army, when Wang Qingshan led the brigade guard company to arrive, there were already about two battalions of Soviet soldiers, attacking the position, and the soldiers started hand-to-hand combat, and behind, there were Soviet soldiers constantly pouring up.
As Sun Zhenbang worried, under the ferocious attack of the Soviet army, the soldiers of the Outer Mongolian border guards who had not experienced the battle formation, first of all, were overwhelmed by the Soviet soldiers in terms of momentum, looking at the comrades-in-arms who were still fighting side by side with him just now, a bullet flew and fell beside him, and he became a corpse flowing with blood, blood splattered on his face, and the smell of blood did not stimulate the hidden blood in their hearts, but caused cowardice in their hearts.
Many timid soldiers have begun to turn around and run to the rear positions, although the squad and platoon commanders tried their best to fight, hoping to regain the courage in their hearts, but in the face of twice their own Soviet soldiers, such heroic behavior could not stop the soldiers from retreating, and their figures were soon drowned in the Soviet soldiers.
There was a platoon commander, who was stabbed by three bayonets, struggled to pull the grenade on his body, and died with several Soviet soldiers. The first to rush forward, and immediately, more than 150 men of the guard company, with blood-red eyes, rushed towards the swarming Soviet soldiers.
Wang Qingshan's guard company is the predecessor of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, the old foundation of the Yellow River River Defense Command Force, and the elite carefully selected from the whole brigade, and has fought in the Taihang Mountains, the land of North China, the Beijing-Tianjin corridor, and followed the troops, from the Chahar grassland to Outer Mongolia.
Seeing that the brigade commander was the first to rush up, the soldiers immediately worked in groups of three, let the soldiers of the battalion who were constantly retreating, and raised the submachine guns flat, and then, there was a loud sound like a torrential rain hitting the leaves, more than 150 submachine guns, spewing out tongues of fire, dense bullet rain, and splashed head-on at the Soviet soldiers who were fighting happily.
Just a face, the Soviet soldier who rushed up turned into a bloody corpse, rolling down the slope, Wang Qingshan emptied a magazine, before he could change it, a stout Soviet soldier, holding a rifle with a bayonet, a lunge thrust, viciously stabbed him in the chest.
The guards, who were seven or eight meters behind Wang Qingshan, had no time to rescue them, and shouted urgently: "Brigade commander, hide!" ”
Wang Qingshan belongs to the kind of person who is full of pores and eyes as soon as he smells blood, and he is full of fighting passion, he does not panic, he dodges the bayonet sideways, flicks the submachine gun in his hand, and the wooden butt smashes it on the head of the Soviet soldier, not only knocking the steel helmet away, but also shattering half of his cheek bones, and the hot blood sprays Wang Qingshan's head and face all over his face.
The Soviet soldier screamed, shook a few times, but did not fall, stared at him with blue-gray eyes, covered his cheeks, and looked at him in fear, Wang Qingshan took advantage of the situation to change the magazine, dropped the muzzle, "da-da-da" a short point shot, a few bullets, poured into the back of the Soviet soldier, the huge impact of the bullet, knocked him to the ground, into a corpse.
Under the leadership of the brigade commander, the guard company launched a ferocious counter-assault, and the two battalions of Soviet soldiers were constantly beaten back and out of position.
Wang Qingshan shouted to the two personal guards: "Press the bullet!" Then, he threw himself on the heavy machine gun, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger viciously, "Da Da Da!" Da-da-da-da! "A string of bullets, swept towards the Soviet soldiers who were still rushing up along the slope, such a close distance, a heavy machine gun, can block the breakthrough, the bullets knocked the Soviet soldiers upside down and flew out, and the corpses rolled down the slope into the Sesagoge River.
The news that the brigade commander came to the front line in person and brought the guard company to support the position of the first battalion soon spread to all the positions of the third regiment, and the impact on the morale of the soldiers and the encouragement of the morale of the army can be described as huge.
The position of the 1st Brigade, although shaky, was held, and several breakthroughs were recaptured, but the frontier troops of the Outer Mongolian frontier army were also unable to drive the Soviet troops who had already gained a foothold on the beachhead back to the north bank, and the battle was still in a state of stalemate, and the defense line of the Outer Mongolian border guards had not yet been relieved of the danger, and the biggest threat was still the Soviet tanks on the opposite bank.
Wang Qingshan fought happily, a heavy machine gun, in his hands, exerted great power, not only blocked this breakthrough, but also from time to time to the nearby positions, to provide fire support, suddenly, an instinctive feeling, let him drop the heavy machine gun, shouted to the two guards: "Leave!" With that, he scurried swiftly towards a corner of the trench, followed by two guard battalions.
On the north bank, a Soviet tank slowly turned its turret, with a loud "boom", a burst of flame erupted from the muzzle, and a shell flew in a whistling manner, the soil splashed, and shrapnel flew horizontally, blowing up the heavy machine gun into the air, and several soldiers nearby were torn apart by shrapnel.
Wang Qingshan poked his head out of the soil, wiped a few handfuls on his face, and scolded in his mouth: "Lao Maozi's tank soldiers, the level is not bad, the fight is quite accurate, fortunately Lao Tzu is clever, otherwise, he has to explain here!" If you want Lao Tzu's life and want to be beautiful, Lao Tzu doesn't want to give it yet! ”
The two guards also got up, shook off the dirt on their bodies, and asked: "Brigade commander, how do you know that the Soviet tanks are going to open fire?" ”
Wang Qingshan spit out the soil in his mouth and said simply, "Intuition! The intuition that came out on the battlefield! "Of course, the most likely is the instinctive reaction of a battle-hardened veteran who has been trained in the battle of bullets and bullets, and this instinct can save his life.
The second offensive echelon of the Soviet army, when it was assembling on the north bank of the Sejingge River, was shelled by the artillery of the Outer Mongolian border guards, which completely disrupted the offensive rhythm of the Soviet army, but the two artillery brigades also paid a heavy price, which can be judged from the gradually thinning out of the artillery.
Having lost artillery support, in the face of the third wave of the Soviet offensive, the positions of the Outer Mongolian border guards were in danger!
