    The counterattack by the corps directly under the Duli Division and the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army encountered strong resistance from the Soviet army. Major General Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the Selenge River front line, received reports from various counterattack forces that the attack was blocked. Although he was still unsatisfied, he  We also know that the principle of quitting as soon as possible, the current battlefield situation, it has become impossible to absorb all the more than 50,000 Soviet troops.  // Visit to download txt novel //

    A forced attack would only increase the casualties of the troops, and the Soviet army, facing annihilation, would inevitably resist desperately, injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging itself by eight hundred. Therefore, Liu Hongzhang put aside his tempting ideas and decisively attacked each unit.  , issued an order to break away from the battle and withdraw to the original position.

    The order was issued to each counterattack force, causing an uproar among the commanders of each unit. Although the attack of the troops was currently blocked, the situation on the battlefield was definitely beneficial to the Du Li division troops.  Although the Soviet troops fought back desperately and achieved the purpose of temporarily blocking the offensive rhythm of the Duli Division troops, they were still in a passive position after all. It did not take too long, two or three hours was enough.

    Each unit adjusts its troop strength and firepower deployment, and gradually eats away at the outer defense line of the Soviet army. There is no need to worry about not being able to eat meat. Should we just give up the opportunity to annihilate the enemy?

    Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army, jumped up first. He was enjoying the fight. The command post sent a reinforced regiment to surround three regiments of Soviet troops. Although the troops also suffered casualties,  It can't be attacked either, but this can't stop Wang Qingshan.

    Wang Qingshan mobilized the light and heavy machine guns of a reinforced regiment to form two firepower groups, preparing to open the passage from both sides, split the Soviet army on the opposite side into two, and then eat them separately. Wang Qingshan did not believe it and risked his life.  Tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition could not penetrate the Soviet positions.

    When the brigade communications staff officer handed the order from the headquarters to him, after reading it, Wang Qingshan¡¯s eyebrows stood up and he asked the communications staff officer sternly: ¡°Are you sure that this is an order personally issued by Commander-in-Chief Liu of the headquarters?  ? If you make a mistake, I will kill you with my own hands!"

    The major staff officer grinned and replied loudly: "Brigadier Commander, I'm sure it's an order from the headquarters. If you make a mistake, you will kill my head!" He said this, but he muttered in his heart: "Brigadier Commander, this is a fight.  Crazy, this is a big military matter, do I dare to lie?¡±

    Wang Qingshan looked at the Soviet position no more than a hundred meters away with hatred, tongues of fire spitting out from the muzzle, and bullets flying randomly in the night sky, intertwining into a death net of fire, and said to the combat staff with an ashen face: "To the combat staff,  The whole regiment issued an order to fire all the light and heavy machine guns together. Don¡¯t come back until the machine gun has fired two rounds of bullets! Then, everyone retreats to the original position!¡±

    Wang Qingshan was holding back a fire in his heart. According to his temper, he could never accept such an order without any reaction. If his old boss Sun Zhenbang issued such an order, he would have to run to the command.  Ministry, please ask me face to face why you asked the troops to withdraw when the battle was going smoothly?

    However, the current battle commander is Liu Hongzhang. Although he is familiar with it, he does not have as deep a relationship with Commander Sun. What's more, the discipline of the army is there. No matter how hard you think about it, you must execute it and execute the order unconditionally.  , It is the bounden duty of a soldier, Wang Qingshan is still very clear about this.

    On the front of the counterattack of the 1st Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards, the density of gunfire suddenly increased several times. The dense rain of bullets hit the Soviet position on the opposite side. Smoke and dust were everywhere, and mud was flying, making the Soviet soldiers unable to lift their heads.  Come.

    The Soviet commander's face turned pale. He thought that this was the prelude to the final attack by the Duli Division. Under the cover of such fierce machine gun fire, at a distance of more than a hundred meters, two or three Duli Division soldiers  Within minutes, they can rush up. Only God knows what the next result will be. He issued an order: "Everyone fixes their bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!" There is no other way to do this. The only way is to fight to the death.

    The Soviet soldiers installed bayonets on their guns one after another, and then they lay nervously in the simple trenches, waiting for the torrent on the opposite side to drown themselves, despite the rain of bullets flying above their heads and the screams that rent the air.  , like thousands of pieces of cloth being torn apart at the same time, the Soviet soldiers could clearly hear their own heartbeats.

    Liu Hongzhang, who was in the forward cover department, naturally would not ignore the direction of the counterattack. The extremely fierce machine gunfire appeared. He turned back and asked Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin: "Chenglin, the sudden intensive gunfire is the direction of the counterattack of which unit?"

    Liu Chenglin glanced at Meng Chaoxu and replied: "Brigadier, this is the First Infantry Brigade of Brigadier Wang Qingshan!"

    Liu Hongzhang put down the telescope and laughed loudly and said: "I understand, it's that Madman Wang who is dissatisfied with my order to withdraw from the battle and is getting angry. Listen, there are hundreds of light and heavy machine guns firing. Wang  The madman is so angry!"

    Meng Chaoxu ChiAfter a while, he explained: "Commander Liu and Brigadier Wang were suppressed and beaten by the Soviet army for so many days. They were so angry that they gave the Soviet army a severe beating before withdrawing from the battle.  It¡¯s reasonable, I hope the commander-in-chief won¡¯t take it to heart!¡±

    Liu Hongzhang glanced at Meng Chaoxu, smiled slightly, and did not explain anything. He knew the meaning of Meng Chaoxu's words.

    After giving the order, Wang Qingshan came angrily towards the battle headquarters with a police platoon. He wanted to talk to Liu Hongzhang to argue, otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable because the relationship between superiors and subordinates was not good.  Fake, but I, Wang Qingshan, do not accept such an order.

    Colonel Fan Dezhi, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Mechanized Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, breathed a huge sigh of relief after receiving the order. He believed that the brigade commander would definitely do this. If the fight continued, he would not take advantage. However, Fan Dezhilin  Before withdrawing from the battle, the order issued was almost exactly the same as Wang Qingshan's order, "All the light and heavy machine guns, after firing the bullets they carry, are quite heavy, so why not give them to the Soviet soldiers!"

    Without the interception of mortar fire from the Du Li Division, the assault boat that responded to the Soviet evacuation quickly moved to the south bank after losing nearly one-fifth of it. Major General Wadkin's heart just "clicked".  , fell into his stomach, and gave the order for the troops to retreat in batches according to the order of battle.

    The Soviet soldiers who received the order scrambled to huddle together as if they were in a circle. Everyone wanted to be the first to escape from the hellish south bank battlefield. Facing the attack of the Duli Division, there was still a chance.  The fighting Soviet soldiers, at this moment, revealed their true colors, and all the blood in their hearts had long been vented. In order to seize a position, soldiers from different units even fought at the river.

    However, the gendarmerie, composed of political commissars and officers, was not a vegetarian. After pulling out their pistols and knocking down dozens of people, the order was finally stabilized. The Soviet troops began to board the assault boats in an orderly manner. The first batch  The assault boat loaded with Soviet soldiers left the south bank and headed for the north bank.

    In the forward position cover department, the brigade chief of staff Liu Chenglin, after receiving a phone call, said to Liu Hongzhang: "Brigadier Commander, the last counterattack force, the 1st Infantry Brigade Reinforcement Regiment of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army, has withdrawn from its position. Our counterattack force  All break away from the Soviet army!"

    Liu Hongzhang held up his telescope and observed the first batch of Soviet assault boats on the river that had disappeared into the night. He ordered without looking back: "Order, all mortar units, extend their artillery fire, and don't be stingy with shells.  Fight the last batch of Soviet assault boats to evacuate!"

    The Soviet assault boats were moving back and forth very quickly. The second batch of Soviet soldiers had already left the south bank. As the Du Li Division counterattacked the troops, they gradually broke away from the battle. The dense sound of gunfire on the battlefield gradually became sparse, but they could still remain.  At the beachhead on the south bank, the Soviet soldiers who were responsible for the cover did not feel relaxed at all, including Major General Wadkin, who refused to evacuate first. There were questions in his mind.

    Why did the troops of the Duli Division suddenly stop attacking and break away from the battle when they had the advantage? If the attack continued like this, although the troops on the south bank would not be eaten by the Chinese immediately, it would be a matter of time sooner or later.  The follow-up troops could not come up, and the lone army on the south bank could not hold on for long. According to Major General Wadkin's estimate, it would not last more than six hours.

    Of course, before their own troops are completely wiped out, the Chinese will not be able to succeed easily unless they pay the price of tens of thousands of casualties. Major General Wadkin still has the determination to fight to the end. However, the duli division troops just waved their hands.  Yes, even the fierce mortar fire at the beginning has stopped. Isn't it normal? There must be some conspiracy here. The scheming Chinese are accustomed to using conspiracy and tricks.

    But what the conspiracy is, Major General Wadkin cannot guess or guess. He cannot use the thinking of a Soviet to guess the thoughts of the Chinese. As the soldiers from the south bank leave one after another, the troops around him are getting more and more  The fewer troops there are, the more nervous Major General Wadkin becomes. If Duli Division troops make a second attack at this time, there will be less than 5,000 troops left on the south bank, and they will not be able to withstand it anyway.  Offensive.

    Major General Wadkin secretly felt regret for pretending to be a hero and refusing to be the first group to evacuate. It turned out that heroes are not so easy to be. Fortunately, nothing happened until Major General Wadkin, with his  Dozens of officers from the headquarters boarded the assault boat and left the south bank of the Selenge River. The positions of the Duli Division troops were still silent, without even a single bullet or mortar shell.

    Hearing the river water impacting the assault boat, Major General Wadkin's tense nerves completely relaxed. He leaned weakly on the edge of the assault boat, letting the turbulent river water sway his body from side to side, escaping death or picking up a boat.  Thoughts of life are not enough to describe this man who commanded more than 50,000 troops and fought on the south bank for a whole day. His head was bruised and bloody, and he was exhausted.?The mood of the useless senior general of the Soviet army at this moment.

    However, Major General Wadkin will no longer have to worry about it soon, because his life has begun to count down!
