    After listening to General Kulykin's words, all the senior Soviet generals breathed a long sigh of relief. The generals of the Soviet Red Army are not afraid of fighting. The warlike genes in their national blood make them eager to fight. However,  This kind of meat grinder-like battle, no matter how you look at it, is a bit frightening. The water of the Selange River has taken away the bodies of many soldiers, and the smell of blood in the night is pungent.

    General Kurekin continued: "Order the tank troops to enter the position on the north bank of the Selange River at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow morning to suppress the firepower of the Duli Division. All troops will be reorganized and start at four thirty.  Attack, all members of the headquarters will immediately go down to the troops to assist commanders and political commissars at all levels to rectify the troops! As long as it is a matter of morale and fighting will of the soldiers."

    "Also, give an order to Wadkin. Taking advantage of the darkness, the troops on the river beach on the south bank will concentrate on several major breakthrough points. Okay, comrades, go back and prepare. Tomorrow, there will be another battle.  A fierce battle!"

    Regarding this order, Chief of Staff Zernenko agreed from the bottom of his heart. Commander Kulykin¡¯s intention was to take advantage of the darkness before dawn and poor visibility so that the aviation units of the Duli Division could not attack their own tanks.  This is the only way to carry out bombing, regain the combat advantage, and break through the Selange River defense line in one fell swoop. Otherwise, as soon as the sun rises, as soon as the tank troops appear on the north bank, bombers from the Du Li Division will be attracted.

    Just as Lieutenant General Zirnenko was about to leave, General Kulykin called out to him and said: "Comrade Zirnenko, your staff department will make statistics on the losses of the troops, but don't report it to me. You can handle it as long as you know it."  "

    Lieutenant General Zernenko was stunned and did not understand what the comrade commander meant, but looking at his depressed and unhappy face, he did not ask for the reason. In fact, General Kulykin did not dare to face the reality. He was afraid  After seeing the huge casualties of the troops, I will have a psychological breakdown.

    The sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield stopped. The following Soviet soldiers were unable to board the south bank. The Soviet troops on the river beach also knew better than to shoot. Wang Qingshan dropped the submachine gun that had the barrel heated, and his whole body was covered with blood.  As if all his strength had been drained away, he sat slumped in the trench completely exhausted. He felt that his throat was filled with thirst, and stars were flying in front of his eyes. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Everyone lives! Guards,  Get me some water quickly, I¡¯m dying of thirst!¡±

    After more than two hours of continuous fierce fighting, all the energy and attention were devoted to the battle. Once the external pressure was removed, the tense nerves relaxed. This was a normal reaction, not only for Wang Qingshan himself, but also for others.  From the trenches on both sides of him, heavy breathing could be heard, similar to that of a windbox. Hearing these sounds, Wang Qingshan laughed silently, which caused a wound on his face, which made him grin.

    The guard ran over with his body bent, handed Wang Qingshan the kettle, and asked with concern: "Brigadier, are you okay? Why is your face bleeding?"

    Wang Qingshan raised his head and drank a lot, "Gudu, Gudu", put down the kettle, sighed contentedly, and said: "Of course it's okay, Lao Maozi's bullets won't kill me, just scratch a little bit of my skin, don't make a fuss."  , go to the brigade command post and ask the chief of staff to call the headquarters and report to Commander Sun that the position of the first brigade is intact and is still in our hands! "

    The guard agreed and quickly disappeared into the night. Wang Qingshan cautiously stuck his head out and looked at the Soviet positions on the river beach. He then raised his telescope and carefully observed the movements on the north bank. Except for a few sparse lights,  , it was pitch black, and no Soviet soldiers could be seen. Only then did he feel completely relieved, "The Soviet soldiers are hurt from being beaten, and this is the end of the day!" He thought to himself.

    Withdrawing his head, Wang Qingshan called over a few correspondents and ordered: "Rush to the positions of each regiment immediately, find the regiment commander, and convey my order. Repair the fortifications and replenish ammunition overnight. The troops should eat and rest as soon as possible, and strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Soviet army from sleeping at night.  Attack!"

    According to normal circumstances, as the brigade commander, Wang Qingshan should be in the brigade command post, unified command of the entire brigade operations, but Wang Qingshan has his own ideas, positional blocking warfare, there are not so many tricks, it is necessary  It is the morale and fighting will of the troops, as well as the determination to persevere. Fighting on the front line is an encouragement and inspiration to the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade. What's more, they don't even have any reserve troops in hand, and they still command a unified team.  What, it's like a nail here, it's proper to hold your position.

    Meng Zhaoxu, chief of the operations section of the Selenge River Frontline Command of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard, put down the phone and said to Sun Zhenbang, who was lying on the hospital bed: "Commander, I received phone reports from all brigades. Starting at 5:30 in the evening,  After more than two hours of fierce fighting, our army repelled four Soviet attacks one after another without losing any positions. The subsequent Soviet troops failed to reinforce the Soviet troops who landed on the south bank. "

    Sun Zhenbang's face showed a faint smile, as if? He said to himself: "The Soviet army spent a lot of money and fought for more than two hours. It was not easy for the troops. By the way, Chaoxu, what are the casualties of the troops?"

    Meng Zhaoxu's face froze, he lowered his head and said in a low tone: "Commander, the casualties of each brigade are being tallied. However, several brigade commanders have said that the casualties of the troops exceed one-half.  Moreover, there is not much ammunition left in the store, and it can only support two days of combat consumption. Commander, if the reinforcements do not arrive again, the troops will be exhausted. Should I send another telegram to the division commander to explain our specific situation and difficulties?  ?¡±

    Sun Zhenbang thought for a while and said: "It's okay to send a telegram to the division commander, but don't emphasize the difficulties. It doesn't matter if the troops are exhausted. As long as the position can be held, the division commander always considers a few moves when commanding operations. Don't worry about our difficulties because of our difficulties."  It disrupted the division commander's battle plan, don't worry, Chaoxu, the division commander knows something about it. In the afternoon, the division commander sent several telegrams asking about the situation of the battle. You still don't know? "

    Meng Zhaoxu smiled sheepishly and replied: "Commander, I see that the troops are fighting so hard, aren't I worried? I am also afraid that I will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the division commander."

    Just as Sun Zhenbang was about to speak, a staff officer hurried in and said: "Commander, Section Chief Meng, our reinforcements have arrived! The two officers have arrived at the headquarters!"

    As soon as the staff officer responded, a loud voice rang out in the headquarters, "Hahaha! Old Sun, we two old guys haven't seen each other for several years. I came all the way from China, and this time  Not to mention how hard it was on the road, for your brother, the teacher didn¡¯t force me to death, so you have to reward me well no matter what!¡±

    Following the voice, two major general officers stepped into Sun Zhenbang's ward. Sun Zhenbang's heart suddenly felt like a big stone fell to the ground. The person who spoke was not other people. It was Major General Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade of the directly affiliated corps. He was from the duli division.  Famous for his fierce penetration!

    Sun Zhenbang said with a smile: "Brother Hongzhang, I wanted to reward you well, but Lao Maozi didn't let me spend the money, so a cannonball knocked me down on the hospital bed and became a wounded person. I have no choice but to miss you.  Don¡¯t be offended, Old Liu!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang didn't hear Sun Zhenbang's weak voice clearly, but he saw it at a glance. Sun Zhenbang, who was lying on the hospital bed with his abdomen covered with bandages, hurriedly stopped his laughter, stepped to the window, and asked eagerly: "  Lao Sun, how did you do this? Is the injury serious? "

    Sun Zhenbang smiled tiredly and said: "Your brother has also seen big scenes. What's the big fuss? It's just unlucky that he was bitten by Lao Maozi's cannonball. It's nothing important. It's just a pain for you, brother!" As he said,  His eyes turned to another unfamiliar major general.

    Liu Hongzhang slapped his head and said: "Hey, look at this note. Let me introduce you. This is Major General Ouyang Yishan, commander of the second brigade of the directly affiliated corps. He took over Ma Chaoyang's post. He turned out to be from the Shandong Police Command.  Deputy Commander, this is Major General Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Force. We are old friends, a veteran of the Duli Division. Brigadier Ouyang, don¡¯t look at him lying on the bed now. Back then, in southeastern Shanxi, that  But the wind and clouds came into play and made that old devil Okamura Neji dizzy! "

    Sun Zhenbang said: "Brother Hongzhang, please don't put gold on my face. What's the matter? He's not lying on the hospital bed. Brigadier Ouyang is not an outsider. Otherwise, he would have to laugh at me. Let me introduce, this  This is Lieutenant Colonel Meng Chaoxu, the chief of the operations section of my headquarters. Chief of Staff Wang is staying in Culun. I will act as his chief of staff. I will ask Chief Meng to introduce the situation in detail to the two brigade commanders in a moment! "

    As he spoke, Sun Zhenbang gave a wry smile and continued: "I should have been the one to introduce the battle situation in person, but now I am struggling to speak. The Outer Mongolia Border Guards are not fighting smoothly, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. We still need the two of you."  I feel bad about traveling a long way to come for reinforcements!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang didn't like hearing it anymore and said: "Brother Zhenbang, what are you talking about? Along the way, the division commander kept informing us of the situation on the battlefield at Selenge River. To be honest, with the five troops who lacked heavy equipment,  The second-line troops of more than 10,000 people resisted the Soviet army's more than 300,000 mechanized troops. They attacked from the ground to the ground for two consecutive days without losing an inch of ground. It is amazing. Even if my troops attacked, it would be nothing more.  To this extent!¡±

    Ouyang Yishan took over the conversation and said: "It's Commander Sun. Brigadier Liu's words are correct. Our two brigades, Brigadier Liu and I also studied the situation of the battle on the way, and the positional blocking battle  , It¡¯s a head-to-head fight, and there are no clever tricks to use. If we fight with two brigades, it¡¯s nothing more than that. The Outer Mongolia border guards are proud of themselves if they fight to this extent, so don¡¯t blame yourself!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang continued: "That's it. Brigadier Ouyang is right. Old man, to be honest, I admire you!"

    Sun Zhenbang was still talking when a staff officer came in and saluted Liu Hongzhang.? Said: "Brigadier Liu, division commander telegram!"
