In front of Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the independent division, Major General Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, followed anxiously, turned a corner, and stopped in front of the room with a curtain hanging, through the curtain, Zhao Yuhe said softly: "Division commander, Brigade Commander Ren is here!" ”

"Come in!" A very familiar voice came out, it was the division commander, his tone was light, calm and steady, and he couldn't hear any fluctuations, but he didn't know why, Ren Zhaoquan's heart jumped, and he glanced at Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, hoping that he could go in with him, but Zhao Yuhe smiled and turned to leave.

There was no way, Ren Zhaoquan had no choice but to bite the bullet, open the door curtain, touch his feet, and give a military salute vigorously, "Report to the division commander, Ren Zhaoquan, the commander of the 11th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, after the mission is completed, I am here to report, please give instructions to the division commander!" ”

Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand, stood up from behind the table made of shell boxes, and his upright body immediately put great pressure on Ren Zhaoquan, his eyes swept away, Ren Zhaoquan's muscles tightened, and his body, which was already standing straight, unconsciously rose a little higher!

"Ren brigade commander, Gurban Sai Khan's blocking battle, you fought well, the telegram you asked to be the commander-in-chief of the battlefield is in my hands, but unfortunately, it has not been approved, and you are considering it, your troops have already participated in the war, you say, do I agree or disagree?" Tang Qiuli's eyes were calm, and he said in a light tone.

Ren Zhaoquan grinned, and muttered to himself in his heart: "It's over! The division commander is asking the division to ask the guilt, is it clear, the division commander did not approve his request, and the action of the 11th Brigade is an act without an order, it seems. It's not just about getting a lecture! "The temper of the division commander, I still don't understand, the more dull the tone, the more on the verge of anger.

However, Ren Zhaoquan also felt aggrieved, the situation at that time, if he didn't make a move, the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps would be completely finished, and the situation was critical. "Division commander, after violating the division's command to complete the task of building fortifications, the 11th Brigade should return to Delun immediately, and I request punishment. Before you make a disciplinary order, though. Allow me to say a few ...... as well! Ren Zhaoquan thinks. Don't explain, I am very wronged, even more wronged than Dou E!

Ren Zhaoquan was just about to explain, but was interrupted by Tang Qiuli waving his hand, "Ren Zhaoquan, what punishment?" Who is going to punish you? Sun Zhenbang's telegram asking for credit for you. It's in my hands, punish you, Sun Zhenbang will definitely not be convinced! ”

Ren Zhaoquan shook his head, a little confused. If you don't punish yourself, why is the division commander in a hurry to summon himself to the division? Could it be that the division commander is saying the opposite? "Commander, I made a mistake, of course I have to accept the punishment, just say it, I can accept any result!" Ren Zhaoquan said with some righteousness.

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli laughed loudly, leaning back and forth with a smile, just as Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in, he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, have you seen it, there are still people who have to be punished!" Our Brigadier Ren is one of them! Zhao Yuhe was also happy.

At this point, Ren Zhaoquan completely understood, the division commander did not fully understand his own meaning at all, "Division commander, it scared me to death, on the way back to Delun, my heart has been hanging, you said, if you also get me to the logistics unit, as a battalion commander, deputy battalion commander or something, I won't be suffocated to death!" Letting go of the burden, Ren Zhaoquan also relaxed, his mouth slipped away, and he couldn't help complaining.

Not only that, but he also picked up a glass of water on the table, drank it all, and wiped his mouth when it was over, "Division commander, if there is nothing to do, I will go back to the army, and I will do what I need to do, and I don't need to ask for credit or not!" Ren Zhaoquan said with a big grin.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said solemnly: "Ren Zhaoquan, I already know all about the situation of the Gurbansai Khan blockade battle, your 11th Brigade has made great contributions, and it is normal for Sun Zhenbang to ask for credit for you, and besides, your command is very in place, without your troops participating in the battle, the battle to encircle and annihilate the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army will not be the result it is now, and the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps will also suffer heavy casualties, maybe, Delun is now fighting!" ”

"But ......!" As soon as Tang Qiuli's words changed, Ren Zhaoquan's heart that he had just let go of immediately slipped up again, "You are not without mistakes, you participated in the war without approval, and you also made excuses and excuses for yourself, all like you, do your own thing, where is the majesty of military discipline and military orders?" There are millions of troops in the independent division, some of which are thousands of miles away from the division, and they all do the same thing as you do, and they don't mess up, in order to maintain the military order, you say, should you be punished? ”

The beads of sweat on Ren Zhaoquan's head came out, and his completely relaxed heart became uneasy again, and he secretly complained in his heart, "Yes, this is called sweet first and then bitter, give a sweet date and slap again, it is still inevitable to be punished!" ”

Looking at Ren Zhaoquan's sweat, Tang Qiuli secretly laughed in his heart, "There will be no punishment, as a senior commander, it is really necessary to deal with it on the spot and make decisive decisions, you just need to send a telegram to the division, and it will be solved in one qiē, why bother sneaking around, looking for all kinds of reasons and excuses!" ”

With the ups and downs, Ren Zhaoquan felt that his heart couldn't stand it anymore, "Division-division commander, if there is nothing wrong, I will still be in the army, I am nervous when you are here!" He stuttered a little, but said honestly.

Tang Qiuli nodded slightly, his tone was quite stern, and said: "Only this time, if you do it again, you will never be spared, the Soviet army of Kulun has already stretched out its claws, and immediately returned to the troops, waiting for the order, and getting ready to go!" ”

"Yes! Resolutely carry out the division commander's orders," Ren Zhaoquan shouted loudly, turned around and ran, the action was definitely fast enough, and he was greatly relieved when he left the division commander's room, "My God, I finally passed the test, I won't dare next time!" He thought to himself.

After Ren Zhaoquan hurriedly slipped away, inside the house, Tang Qiuli asked, "Yuhe, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, after receiving a report from the reconnaissance unit of the 12th Brigade that the news of the annihilation of the 37th Group Army of the Soviet Army has been learned from the Soviet troops going south of Kulen, there are signs of retracting from Kulen, and the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army sent troops of two armies to the south, originally to rescue the 37th Group Army. ”

"The Soviet army, which was the first to move south, is less than eighty kilometers away from Delen, and now, the Soviet army has stopped advancing, and its troops are turning around and returning to Kulen, in addition, Commander Sun Zhenbang and Commander Batel are on their way to the division!"

Tang Qiuli smiled contemptuously, "The action is fast enough, this is a normal reaction, since the 37th Group Army has been wiped out in the entire army of Gurbansai Khan, it has lost the meaning of rescue, and it is afraid that we will eat him again, Yuhe, order Ren Zhaoquan's 11th Brigade and Chen Han's 12th Brigade to immediately march north from Delun, and at the fastest speed, entangle the Soviet army closest to Delen, and make sure that it does not withdraw to Kulen Shun, as soon as Sun Zhenbang and Batel arrive, come to see me immediately!" ”

Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up and said, "Division Commander, could it be that you plan to take down Kulun by taking advantage of the situation?" In that case, why not drag another corps of the Soviet army outside the city of Kulen? ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean!" Yuhe, I have a heart, but unfortunately I can't do it, just the strength of the two brigades, the two armies of the Soviet army, I am not sure, I can bite one of the armies, it is to take a big advantage! ”

Tang Qiuli regretted it a little, he had known that the Battle of Seyinshanda would evolve like this, at the beginning, he would not have transferred Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades to the periphery of Kulun and deployed them in the area of Minusinsk. "What a miscalculation!" He thought to himself with regret.

Sun Zhenbang and Battle, anxious, hurried all the way, and it only took more than an hour to rush to Delun, and as soon as they entered the town, they saw the troops of the 11th and 12th brigades of the directly subordinate corps, constantly driving out of their positions and rushing to the north.

Sun Zhenbang clicked his mouth and said to Battle: "Commander Ba, look at this posture, the two brigades of the directly subordinate corps are pouring out, and the division commander has a new deployment, I'm afraid, it's going towards the Soviet army that came out of Kulun!" Then, he shouted to the driver, "Hurry up!" ”

Battle pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Commander Sun, the division commander is in a hurry to summon us, I'm afraid it's also for this matter, don't worry, the task of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is indispensable!" I'm afraid that the next capture of Cullen will also be our main task! ”

Hearing Battle's words, Sun Zhenbang, who was supposed to be eager to fight, was a little worried, and seemed to say to himself: "That's a good dare, but in Gurbansai Khan, the troops are fighting like that, does the division commander dare to use the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps with confidence?" I'm afraid that the teacher won't give me this opportunity! ”

The armored command car, with smoke and dust all the way, suddenly stopped in front of the headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had been waiting outside, and when he saw Sun Zhenbang and Battle jumping out of the car, he waved his hand to stop the salute of the two, and hurriedly said: "Commander Sun, Commander Ba, the division commander is waiting for you, come with me!" ”

The two came in and saw Tang Qiuli standing in front of the large military map of Outer Mongolia with his back to the door, motionless, "Report to the division commander, Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and Batel, commander of the armored corps of the Independent Division, are ordered to come and ask the division commander for instructions!" The two of them stood up and saluted, and reported loudly.

Tang Qiuli turned around, first looked at Battle, looked at his heroic and neat younger brother, his eyes showed a loving look, nodded slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Batel stood in the most standard military posture, feeling the affection of his brother, his eyes blinked, and he smiled innocently, only in this case, can the innocence and simplicity of the young man be seen from the commander of the armored corps of the independent division, who is not yet twenty-two years old.

Tang Qiuli's gaze turned to Sun Zhenbang.
