    Chapter 792 Focusing on the next step

    The battlefield in Outer Mongolia is divided into two places, showing different battlefield situations. At the Khazadewu Pass, the only passage into the western region of Outer Mongolia in the Tangnu Mountains, Feng Jiwu led six light infantry brigades with more than 80,000 people to block the Soviet Far East.  The 200,000 heavy-armed mechanized troops commanded by Lieutenant General Zhukov, commander and political commissar of the First Army, fought with blood and flesh on both sides of the offensive and defensive sides, and the battle was particularly fierce.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    In the area of ??Kulun, the capital of Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli commanded a force of 280,000 troops directly under him. He adopted the tactic of outflanking and encircling two wings, moving south from Ulan-Ude to intimidate Kulun and contain the 120,000 Soviet troops of Tang Qiuli's main force.  , leading step by step to the preset battlefield in the Hadasan area west of Kulun.

    Both Zhukov and Tang Qiuli regard this battle as the most critical battle to solve the Outer Mongolia issue. The intentions of both sides are obvious, and Zhukov's strategic development seems to have the upper hand. As long as they can break through Khazadwu  Yamaguchi can not only eliminate the Chinese troops in the western region of Outer Mongolia that block his continued advance, but can also attack Tang Qiuli's main force from the flank and threaten Cullen.

    Therefore, breaking through the blockade of the Chinese Army at the Kazadewu Mountain Pass was a crucial battle for Zhukov's First Far East Army. Commander Zhukov originally planned to pass here in two days, but after fighting for one day,  After occupying only the first position and handling military affairs in the direction of Ulan-Ude, Zhukov shifted his energy to the battlefield of Kazadewu Mountain Pass.

    Zhukov observed the terrain in front of him and felt a little worried about his plan to pass through the Kazadewu Pass within two days. He always felt that something was wrong in those places, but he could not tell the specific situation.  The ** team fought tooth and nail to block it, which is easy to understand. He and Tang Qiuli are both talented, and both understand the importance of this key node to both parties.

    Are they the troops approaching Kulun from the direction of Ulan-Ude?  He had left ample room for the troops and repeatedly emphasized caution, just to avoid being surrounded by the superior Chinese troops, but he still felt uneasy. Tang Qiuli withdrew from the ambush circle in the Hangai Mountains, and suddenly came back.  Was he withdrawing to advance westward and face a decisive battle with himself at the Kazadwu Pass, or was there another intention?

    While Zhukov was racking his brains to analyze the battlefield situation, Feng Jiwu also received a message from the division commander about the battle plan to encircle and annihilate 120,000 Soviet troops in the Hadasan area west of Kulun. Tang Qiuli requested in the telegram  Feng Jiwu's troops only needed four days to block the Soviet army at the Kazadewu Mountain Pass. This meant that one day was missing from the original five-day blockade plan. It would take three days to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army on the Hadasan front line.  Finish.

    For Feng Jiwu, who was under great pressure, this was great news. One day less time to block the blockade, and the troops would be able to reduce their casualties by thousands. However, in the telegram, the division commander expressed his thoughts on what would happen to his troops after the blockade was over.  One step of the action arrangement was a bit confusing.

    Tang Qiuli arranged this in the telegram, "After your regiment completes the blocking battle at Kazadewu Pass, it can get out of the way. There is no need to follow and monitor the Soviet army. It can pass through the mountain pass, cross the Tangnu Mountains, and enter Tangnu."  In the Wulianghai and Lake Baikal areas, intercept the Soviet troops fleeing in this direction. Move quickly. In addition, your regiment's three brigades and two cavalry brigades in eastern Outer Mongolia will be on standby immediately to closely monitor Boer.  The Soviet troops in He area and the Japanese troops in Manchuria."

    From Tang Qiuli's telegram, Feng Jiwu had a premonition that the division commander's appetite was not just in Outer Mongolia. He wanted to push the front to the current territory of the Soviet Union. However, with his own strength after four days of blocking, he could  Should you shoulder such a heavy responsibility?  Is it necessary to remind the division commander that the Soviet troops in Shuangchengzi and Haishanwei areas will not sit back and watch the ** division troops enter the Soviet Union. It is safer to mobilize some troops from North China.

    "Division Commander, my personal opinion is that the Niangziguan garrison's strength should be about one-third after the blockade at the Kazadwu Pass. It can still intercept and defeat the fleeing Soviet army. If there is another big war, it will be difficult to support the troops. Is it right?  Consider mobilizing five to eight brigades of troops from North China to join the battlefield in Outer Mongolia?" Feng Jiwu stated his actual situation and thoughts without reservation.

    After Tang Qiuli received Feng Jiwu's telegram, he was sincerely happy and no longer blindly followed him. He had his own independent thinking and focused on the overall situation. Feng Jiwu had matured and could consider problems from another perspective.  , his worries are not unreasonable, and some information needs to be revealed to him.

    "Jiwu, just proceed as planned. After your regiment enters the Tangnu Ulianghai and Lake Baikal areas, the situation in Outer Mongolia will change. The Soviet troops in Shuangchengzi and Haishanwei are too busy to take care of themselves and are unable to attack you.  Ministry, your ministry can clear out the Soviet troops in that area and establish a transportation line from Lake Baikal to Kulun." This was Tang Qiuli's answer to Feng Jiwu.??.

    After Feng Jiwu received the call back from the division commander, he was very relieved. The division commander had already considered this issue. Since the blocking battle was shortened by one day, he would retain at least four brigades of complete organic troops to complete the entry into Tangnu Ulianghai.  , combat missions after the Lake Baikal region.

    Feng Jiwu still followed the established tactics of blocking a brigade for a day. Facts have proved that such a strategy is extremely smart. In a narrow valley, placing more troops at once will only become a living target for the Soviet artillery group. As for the only  He was reluctant to use the artillery brigade on the battlefield. If it showed up, after a few rounds, in front of thousands of Soviet large-caliber howitzers, the artillery brigade would be disbanded.

    The terrain of the battlefield at Kazadewu Pass also made Zhukov extremely distressed. He could only invest at most one and a half regiments of tanks at a time, and four regiments of infantry. Not only was it difficult to move around, but it also affected the flexibility of the attacking troops.  The Chinese artillery troops, which disappeared like ghosts, made him extremely vigilant.

    The 5th Motorized Guards Division of the First Far East Army had been crippled. Zhukov replaced it with the 7th Motorized Guards Division. This cutting-edge force could also not attack the positions of the ** Squadron. It had experienced the Soviet army.  After the overwhelming artillery fire, there was no need to mobilize. The officers and soldiers of the first brigade defending the second line of defense consciously dug the artillery defense holes deep and strong.

    The Soviet army's style of play was still the same, first with devastating artillery fire, and then with tanks covering the infantry for a charge. After being repulsed, they repeated it again. To be honest, Zhukov's style of play was nothing new, but position breakthrough warfare was like this.  The way of play, there is no way to make a roundabout breakthrough in this ghost place, so you can only nibble forward bit by bit.

    What the two sides competed for was the fighting will of the soldiers and the number of artillery shells, the solidity of the fortifications and the advantage of the attacking party's weapons. This was a typical battle of positional attrition. The first brigade of Feng Jiwu Corps persisted for a day, and it was past 11 o'clock at night.  When the bell struck, the troops quietly withdrew.

    As usual, Feng Jiwu was at the forefront of the next line of defense, greeting these soldiers who had returned from a hard-fought battle. The situation of the first brigade was much better than that of Zhu Dake's fourth brigade. At the end of the day, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and more than 4,000 were injured.  , basically injured in hand-to-hand combat with Soviet soldiers, the casualty rate was much lower than that of the Fourth Brigade, and the number of enemies annihilated and the number of Soviet tanks destroyed was basically the same as that of the Fourth Brigade.

    This made Zhu Dake, who was resting at the last line of defense, very unconvinced. Is the first brigade better than the fourth brigade?  He absolutely didn't believe it, and angrily called Feng Jiwu's headquarters, "Commander, I'm Zhu Dake, please approve, let's drag our fourth brigade up to fight Lao Maozi again, and only the rest of our brigade will  The few thousand men under the army can withstand a day, and the number of old Maozi soldiers and tanks killed will definitely not be less than that of the first brigade."

    Feng Jiwu was very happy when he received the call, "Zhu Dake, you stay in the rear hospital honestly just for this trivial matter. Look at your potential, you will fight the battle, we are going north  Fight. When the time comes, your fourth brigade will be unable to take action. Let¡¯s see how I deal with you. By the way, we can¡¯t replenish troops for the time being. According to the situation of the battle, I will temporarily reorganize several brigades with serious attrition. Your brigade commander  It¡¯s hard to say whether we can take it seriously, I have to be mentally prepared, but you, Zhu Dake, still made some contributions, and the first brigade suffered far fewer casualties based on your fighting style.¡±

    Before he could think about it, Feng Jiwu hung up the phone. Zhu Dake's heart went crazy. He had long forgotten his aggrieved thoughts. The fourth brigade suffered the most casualties, so don't reorganize them.  If you can go to other brigades and keep the designation, it will be a good thing. No, you have to write a letter to the commander quickly. For the sake of the experience provided by the fourth brigade to other troops, nothing can be done to revoke the designation of the fourth brigade.

    Feng Jiwu put down the phone and looked at each other with Chen Jishan, the commander of the second brigade of the third position defense force beside him, and laughed. Feng Jiwu said: "Commander Chen, after two days of fighting, it has been proved that the tactics adopted by the fourth and first brigade  , is correct and effective. Our troops cannot stay away, and the same is true for the Soviet army. As long as you can reduce the damage of Soviet artillery fire, you can bring back more soldiers. "

    Immediately, he said to Zhang Hansheng, Chief of Staff of the Corps: "Chief of Staff, please inform the Joint Logistics Department to allocate 40,000 anti-tank grenades to the Second Brigade overnight. In addition, strengthen two anti-tank gun detachments to the Second Brigade." Commander of the Second Brigade  Chen Jishan was overjoyed. These were all good things. He quickly pulled Zhang Hansheng's sleeve and hurriedly implemented them.

    Another dawn came, and as usual, the overwhelming sound of Soviet artillery shell explosions woke up the sleeping earth. The roar of artillery echoed in the dawn air. Feng Jiwu, who was observing the movements of the Soviet army, secretly smacked his lips. The Soviets were fighting.  Generously, over the past two days, more than 200,000 artillery shells may have fallen on his position.

    The special operations team sent out to destroy the Soviet transport and supply lines sent a report that they had been lurking along the Tangnu Mountains for two days and no Soviet logistics troops were found heading towards the Kazadwu Mountains.Transporting supplies and ammunition to the battlefield, that is to say, the Soviet army carried its own ammunition for the two days of attack. How many more days can they sustain it?

    Feng Jiwu was suddenly stunned. Did he discover a characteristic of the Soviet army's large-scale combat?
