Chapter 766: The Art of War

The Waiméng Ancient Cavalry Regiment stationed on the main road to Kulen was surrounded and disarmed by the Second Cavalry Brigade of Tong Batu, and on the border, no news came back, and the actual military commander of Sainshanda, the regimental political commissar Soviet officer Askov, relaxed his vigilance, and he and his superior, Lieutenant General Mikovsky, commander of the Soviet Far East Special Army, did not take this important information as a matter because of their long-standing contempt for the Chinese, independent divisions directly under the corps, Only then did it advance to Sayin Shanda without hindrance.

The political commissar of the regiment Askov, on the way to meet his lover again, was startled by the communication soldier who slammed over, and before he could scold, the communication soldier said breathlessly: "Report to the political commissar, a large number of squadrons have arrived outside the city," Askov grabbed the collar of the signal soldier and yelled: "Say it again? "I can't change the fact that the squadron soldiers are coming to Saiyin Shanda.

There were no gunshots, no declaration of war, the squadron ** appeared out of thin air, advancing hundreds of kilometers in the ancient land of Méng, as if entering a no-man's land, it was too terrible war, war is coming, Askov shouted at the signal corps: "Quick, quickly sound the alarm, gather all the troops in the city, immediately establish a blocking line, report to the military headquarters, the Chinese invade" In his hand, there is also a trump card, that is, a Soviet infantry battalion, which is his biggest reliance.

In the city of Saiyin Shanda, the alarm sounded bitterly, Askov rushed to the south of the city, on the desert field, countless lights, like a sword piercing the grassland under the twilight, the roar of the engine, the tsunami came, Askov was dumbfounded, this is a cavalry unit, it has always been a completely mechanized large army, the Chinese are really outside méng ancient hands.

The Soviet infantry battalion hurried to the position, looking at the lights all over the field, the Soviet soldiers were dumbfounded, and a heavy machine gun group asked the political commissar of the regiment that the heavy machine gun position should be located in that direction, Askov became furious, "Fool, where the lights are dense, it will be set up," this is nonsense, the lights all over the field, the eyes of the Soviet soldiers are shaking, and what is the key direction of the attack.

Hearing the sirens in the city of Saiyin Shanda, Tang Qiuli knew that this was probably the Soviet infantry battalion mentioned by the special operations detachment, so let's beat it hard, and let the Soviets see my determination, he ordered: "The 1st Tank Brigade, cover the attack of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Cavalry Brigades, immediately take an encirclement of Saiyin Shanda, remember, don't let go of a Soviet soldier, attack"

In the night, the heavy machine guns on the Soviet positions were the first to roar, and then, the gunshots rang out like popping beans, and the Soviets fired first, although they had not yet seen the shadows of the Chinese soldiers, the rolling tanks alone were enough to make them feel cold, and the bullets hit the tank armor, bursting out a little spark, this steel monster, unscathed, continued to move forward unscathed, and rushed towards the Soviet position.

Thirty minutes later, the battle ended, a pure infantry battalion without anti-tank weapons and heavy artillery, which was the opponent of this armored torrent, a battalion of Soviet troops, most of them were killed, and the rest were captured by cavalry units when they fled in the direction of Kulen, and the regimental commissar Askov, who was hit by nine bullets and killed on the spot, was annihilated by the Soviet army.

At about eight o'clock that night, the troops of the independent division entered Saiyin Shanda, the first big road to Kulun, which was easily opened, and the second cavalry brigade of Tong Batu took on the garrison task, maintaining law and order, and pacifying the local residents.

The Soviet prisoners were transported back to the Erenhot prisoner of war camp overnight, and that night, Tang Qiuli held a military meeting to deploy the next course of action, and the chief of staff Chang Feng and the brigade commanders immediately divided their troops into multiple routes, with Saiyin Shanda as the center, attacked and advanced in the east and west directions, seized the key points, occupied a vast area, and the main force continued to attack in the direction of Kulen, and fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Soviet army.

Tang Qiuli shook his head, a total of more than 200,000 troops, it is not suitable to divide troops, the main force of the Soviet army has not been eliminated, no matter how many places are occupied, it is useless, scattered troops, but easy to be besieged by the opponent's superior forces, and there is another point, which is what he fears the most, the Soviet air force is definitely much larger than his own strength, scattered troops, air defense is not easy to handle, without air defense fire cover, can only be a live target for Soviet aircraft.

The military theory of the Europeans is absolutely different from that of the Chinese, they advocate the decisive battle of the main forces of the large corps, pay attention to the siege of the city, often seize a large city, which means the end of the battle, for such a military point as Sayin Shanda, the important mén household of the capital Kulun, the Soviet army will definitely not give up lightly, it is bound to fight repeatedly, tomorrow, you should be able to see the shadow of the Soviet army.

His gaze fell on Hujirt, thirty kilometers north of Saiyin Shanda, which was the only terrain that could be used, according to the map, there were dense jungles and complex terrain to use, and an ambush circle was set up here, giving a surprise attack to the Su Méng army eager to recapture Saiyin Shanda, and letting them know how the Chinese used their troops, but Tang Qiuli was not very relieved about the map, so it was safe to go to the field to check it.

The senior generals got into the car one after another, and Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "What? After just a few days of hard work, we forgot our old business, and it is more comfortable to ride a car than to ride a horse" Everyone found out that the division commander had been riding on a jujube red horse, and hurriedly jumped out of the car with his tongue out, and dozens of people beat horses out of the city and went straight to Hujirt.

When I arrived at the place, everyone was amazed again and again, the good place for ambushes sent by God is more real than on the map, the terrain is more complicated, and there is no problem at all with hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, indeed, except for the ancient Gobi or the grassland landform, there are not many places to do ambushes, but it is very suitable for mechanized corps operations, especially for large-scale assault of tank clusters.

If you are facing any warlord or Japanese in the country, Tang Qiuli will never choose to ambush here, the terrain is too conspicuous, but also too abrupt, the Oriental people who are deeply influenced by Sun Tzu's art of war, you don't need to look at it to know that this is a treacherous place that is taboo for soldiers, and now, facing the Soviets, such terrain can be used.

Under the auspices of Chang Feng, each unit quickly chose its own ambush position, or in accordance with the consistent principle of the division commander, with the most ferocious firepower, to deal the biggest blow to the other side, and if a stick went down, at least the Soviets had to spit out more than half of their blood.

The artillery position adopts an arc-shaped configuration on two wings, extending for more than ten kilometers, the air defense unit is behind the artillery position, supporting an air defense fire network for the artillery, and covering the infantry position, specializing in dealing with the Soviet aircraft, the infantry is deployed in concealment at the front, and the cavalry unit under the command of Liu Chūn continues to move covertly north of Hujirt, preparing to intercept and defeat the retreating Soviet army.

All units are in accordance with the deployment of the chief of staff Chang Feng, nervously arranging troops, allocating firepower points, the commander of the five tank brigades with a bitter face, found Tang Qiuli, "Division commander, all the troops, there are ambush sites, but we have more than 1,500 tanks, such a big guy, how can they be hidden?" Besides, it didn't say in that tutorial that tanks are used for ambushes? Let's work hard. ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "Can you still stump you invulnerable steel monsters? Go to the sky and go into the forest to drill the mountains, where can I not hide you, I don't care how to hide the tanks, after the shelling, I want to use the tank cluster to completely destroy the Soviet army's will to resist, and I can't complete the task, you yourself think about the lack of pig breeders in the Huangya dòng base, Minister Zhang has asked for people several times, "After speaking, I didn't look at these stunned tank brigade commanders again, and walked away."

Several tank brigade commanders were stunned for a while, the division commander's meaning was very clear, after the shelling, the tank troops had to charge ahead of the infantry, bī was in a hurry, there was really a way, the tanks drove into the forest, the dense trees broke off the branches, and the tanks even covered the barrels of the guns, thick fallen leaves, covering the whole body of the steel monster, or simply drove dozens of tanks into a valley, the branches were blocked, there was a deep pit, and there was a ramp that was easy to drive, and a few tanks were hidden in it, and the trees were put down to cover it, it was a natural hiding place.

After working all night, anyway, at more than five o'clock in the morning, in the huge Hujirt Mountains, there was no longer a single soldier, a soldier and a car, Tang Qiu was not at ease, he rode through the ambush area with Chang Feng, searched carefully with a telescope, and found nothing abnormal, he was very satisfied, he was a little curious, how were so many tanks hidden, Chang Feng muttered a few words in his ear, Tang Qiuli laughed, this battle will undoubtedly be won

The sun rises, on the summer grassland, rising repeated fog, full of water vapor clouds and mist, soaking the clothes of the latent soldiers, Hujirt Mountains and the surrounding large grasslands, shrouded in hazy clouds and mist, around 9 o'clock in the morning, the clouds and fog dispersed, the grassland is endless, the field of vision is unusually open, in the sky, there is the roar of the engine, two Soviet planes, low altitude skimming the Hujirt mountains, has been flying in the direction of Saiyin Shanda.

Tang Qiuli retracted his gaze and said to Chang Feng: "This is the Soviet army's reconnaissance plane, inform Tong Batu, the trick is more realistic," Chang Feng immediately called Tong Batu, at this time, in the city of Saiyin Shanda, it was basically an empty city, and only Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade was stationed here.

According to the order of the division commander, the 2nd Brigade had to make the illusion that the large force was still in Sainshanda, the soldiers rode their horses and galloped wildly on the few streets in the city, and outside the city, a large number of cavalry entered and exited, and from the beginning of the troops entering the city, martial law was imposed in the whole city, no one was allowed to enter or leave, every house was searched, and the hidden Soviet secret service radio station was strictly guarded.

Tong Batu looked at the sky with a telescope, received a call from the chief of staff, and ordered the staff officer beside him: "Convey my order, and each regiment will be carried out according to the predetermined plan" Inside and outside the city of Saiyinshanda, there was a busy, and the roar of the Soviet reconnaissance plane was getting closer and closer.
