Losing command, all they had to do were mortar shells flying all over the sky, light and heavy machine gun bullets that were densely flying locusts, and Soviet soldiers who were attacked from both sides by Liu Hongzhang's company and Shanhu's guard brigade, more than 5,000 people, no more than 2,000 people who were alive, no more than 2,000 people no longer had the will to resist, and they all raised their hands to surrender.

Liu Hongzhang breathed a long sigh of relief, he was already sweaty and heavy, this battle was a bit mysterious, if the reinforcements did not arrive, the shells and bullets on the two trucks could hold out for more than 20 minutes at most, and with a company of logistics soldiers, it really couldn't stop the desperate breakthrough of the remaining thousands of Soviet soldiers!

What the hell is this fighting? Occupy favorable terrain, light and heavy machine guns and mortars, enough ammunition, and fight with fear, if you stay in the first brigade, you can't use half of the ammunition, no matter how neatly you solve the battle, "No, after you go back, you have to carry out a large-scale training activity in the first battalion!" Otherwise, when you encounter this incident, you will not be allowed to suffer a big loss! Liu Hongzhang muttered to himself.

Seeing that the remaining Soviet soldiers surrendered, Liu Hongzhang was very wise, and did not order the soldiers of the armed escort company to go down to capture the prisoners, all of them were soldiers with no battlefield experience, blind in the dark, who knows what happened, if the battle is over, there will be unnecessary casualties, Liu Hongzhang has not been killed by a head, he also seems that this reinforcement, the military is not ordinary, look at the action, just sharp.

At this time, the two soldiers in charge of liaison with the guard brigade also arrived at the position of the armed escort company, and shouted from afar: "We are from the division command guard brigade, which unit are you from?" Submit the number, the name of the commander, the rank and position! ”

The commander of the armed escort company replied: "We are from the first battalion of the third regiment of the baggage department!" ”

The soldiers of the two guard brigades suddenly realized that they muttered in their hearts: "No wonder the battle was not fought well. It turned out to be a bunch of logistics soldiers! Without asking too much, he ran back and reported the mountain tigers.

When Shanhu heard this, he shook his head with a smile, and saw that the soldiers had basically gathered the prisoners, but he shouted to the opposite side with a high voice: "The soldiers in the baggage area, we have taken all the prisoners, come over some people, you can take them away!" ”

The movement of the mountain tiger was too loud, and both sides heard it clearly. Although Liu Hongzhang didn't hear who it was, these words were a bit harsh, what did you mean by grabbing the prisoners and letting us take them away, isn't this a clear contempt for people?

Liu Hongzhang is also not polite. With a loud voice, he also shouted. "The opposite. I don't know which commander of the division commander is the guard brigade, I am Liu Hongzhang, deputy commander of the first battalion of the third regiment of the baggage, what's the matter? I want to give us the credit, I'm sorry, my Liu Hongzhang's soldiers don't have the habit of snatching food from other people's mouths. These old Maozi captives, let's leave it to yourselves, we have another task, and we don't have time to take these bastards! ”

The mountain tiger listened. The self-registration number is Liu Hongzhang, who is happy to crack his mouth, for this Liu Da who can fight, dare to fight, and also cause trouble, Shanhu is no stranger, and was made by Tang Qiuli to be a deputy battalion commander in the baggage area, Shanhu also knows, "It turned out to be Liu Hongzhang Liu Brigade Commander, I am Huangshanhu, since the old guy has met together, why don't you leave without taking a look!" The mountain tiger shouted with a smile.

When Liu Hongzhang heard this, hey, it's strange, the commander of the division commander's guard, why did he come here if he didn't stay by the division commander's side? No matter how crazy Liu Hongzhang is, in front of the mountain tiger, he still doesn't dare to show his old qualifications, Captain Huang, who is one of the veterans of the independent division, has to surpass himself in terms of qualifications and combat exploits.

Liu Hongzhang hurriedly came over, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when they heard Shanhu say the reason for the reinforcements, Liu Hongzhang was shocked, and almost roared: "Captain Huang, how can you let the division commander come to such a dangerous place?" ”

Then, he said with palpitations: "Captain Huang, it seems that my battle was not fought in vain, otherwise, these more than 5,000 old Mao soldiers are going to the division commander!" Even if even one company is gone, it's worth it! Alright, I'm done with my work, and I have other tasks, so I won't waste time! Raising his hand and clenching his fist, Liu Hongzhang turned around and was about to leave.

Shanhu hurriedly grabbed him and looked at Liu Hongzhang very playfully, "Brigade Commander Liu, are you in such a hurry to leave?" The division commander is not far ahead, and when I meet it, I have to say hello, let's go, see the division commander! Shanhu said, in a tone that seemed to be very casual and relaxed.

Only Liu Hongzhang knew in his heart that Shanhu was creating an opportunity for himself to meet with the division commander, and maybe he would be able to return to the command position of the commander of the first brigade immediately, and his heart couldn't help but surge with a warm current.

Tang Qiuli was in the tent, listening to the sound of guns and cannons in the valley ahead, which had subsided, and knew that the mountain tiger had settled the battle smoothly, so he turned his attention to the main battlefield.

"Report to the Divisional Commander! Liu Hongzhang, deputy battalion commander of the first battalion of the third regiment of the baggage department of the logistics department of the independent division, came to listen to the instructions of the division commander! A loud and familiar voice rang out outside the tent.

"Liu Hongzhang? How can it be so coincidental, could it be that it was Liu Hongzhang's troops who exchanged fire with the Soviet army, and he is now in the logistics department! Hearing Liu Hongzhang's familiar movements, Tang Qiuli's heart was filled with complicated feelings, "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, come in!" He said lightly.

As soon as Liu Hongzhang heard the division commander call his current position, a sour feeling came up in his heart, how to say it, indifference or distance, Liu Hongzhang himself couldn't figure it out, anyway, the three words "deputy battalion commander" sounded awkward, not because of the level of the position, but because it had something to do with the current department.

Liu Hongzhang entered in response, standing in front of Tang Qiuli in a stern military posture, Tang Qiuli looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked for a long time: "Hongzhang, are you doing well in the baggage place?" ”

Liu Hongzhang's answer, as always, was as simple and direct as ever, "Report to the division commander, it's very bad, the main thing is that there is no fight, but don't worry, division commander, no matter what Liu Hongzhang is in that unit, it's not a bear bag soft egg!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, as warm as a spring breeze, of course, he also heard it, Liu Hongzhang felt a little resentful in his heart.

"I know, just now, didn't you just fight very well, with a heavy company that has never been on the battlefield, it has resisted the attack of more than 5,000 Soviet troops, and it is a mortar and a light and heavy machine gun, I listen to it all lively, Captain Huang told me that a logistics company against more than 5,000 Soviet troops, such a battle, only Liu Hongzhang can fight, and he dares to fight!" Tang Qiuli said appreciatively.

Liu Hongzhang's heart was hot when he heard this, and he almost couldn't help but step forward and say to the division commander in a loud voice, "It was a wrong decision for you to transfer me out of the front-line field troops and refrigerate me to the baggage area!" However, it was only a momentary impulse, the man's self-esteem and pride, the grievances and unconvincing in his heart, stopped his steps, until now, Liu Hongzhang did not think that he ordered the first brigade to counterattack, there was anything wrong!

Tang Qiuli seemed to see Liu Hongzhang's thoughts, sighed secretly, and said: "Hongzhang, since you have a task, then hurry up and complete it, my safety is more assured, there are thousands of guards in the brigade!" ”

After Liu Hongzhang saluted, he walked out of the tent with heavy steps, looked back, and in the faint light, the familiar and admiring figure turned around and disappeared into the night.

Inside the tent, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked puzzledly: "Division commander, why didn't you take the opportunity to reinstate Brigade Commander Liu just now?" The front line is the time to employ people! ”

"Yuhe, Liu Hongzhang hasn't realized the root of his mistakes, it's better to refrigerate it in the baggage for a period of time, and go to the anger in his heart," Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, "The war environment we are facing has changed a lot, a commander with a personality like Liu Hongzhang needs to precipitate and frustrate their sharpness, there are only benefits, no disadvantages, in the future, they are all generals who stand alone!" What we need is not only brave generals on the battlefield, but also wise generals! ”

His tone was emotional and meaningful, accompanied by the sound of guns and cannons on the battlefield, which was deep in Zhao Yuhe's heart.

By five o'clock in the morning, the fighting on the three battlefields outside Minusinsk had come to an end.

Under the ferocious blows of the 7th Brigade, the 8th Brigade and the 6th Tank Brigade, the 3rd Army, which had been greatly damaged, was already beaten to the ground when attacking the second line of defense of the independent division, and the casualties of the troops reached about one-third.

The Second Army of the 43rd Group Army, which rushed left and right, could have pressed Chu Ziye's Fourth Brigade and Qian Jiaxing's Sixth Brigade to fight, but it could not break through the blocking line temporarily established by the two brigades, and the fierce battle lasted for more than two hours.

An hour later, the ammunition in charge of the supply of the first battalion of the third regiment of the baggage department arrived on time, and Chu Ziye, who had been supplied with ammunition, beat the two divisions of the Soviet army, and the corpses were all over the field, but Chu Ziye was not very dissatisfied, and scolded in front of the two company commanders of the third regiment of the baggage.

"I'm cāo! The people in the baggage area don't have enough heads? Really obedient, let me supply ammunition, hey, I brought so much to Lao Tzu, I didn't think about it, replenish some weapons and equipment? Like light and heavy machine guns, mortars or something! I really don't know what your head is thinking in your head, such a fierce battle, the damage rate of equipment, it must not be small! ”

The commanders of the two automobile companies glanced at each other, and one of the company commanders explained: "Brigade Commander Chu, originally, we added thirty-five mortars and forty-five light and heavy machine guns to the Fourth Brigade by the way, and loaded two trucks!" ”

Chu Ziye stared at the beads of his eyes and said suspiciously: "Huh? Is there really one? Why didn't I see it, where is it? It just so happens that this time the fight has not stopped, and the equipment has really been damaged a lot, so what are you grinding, hurry up, change the clothes of my soldiers! Lao Maozi started to attack again, this time, Lao Tzu has guns and cannons, and there is enough ammunition, enough for the Soviet army to drink a pot! ”
