Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    According to the battle deployment, ground air defense units such as the air defense brigade of the Corps directly under the independent division, the Kulun air defense brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard, and the Saiyinsanda anti-aircraft artillery regiment deployed strict air defense fire over the battlefield from Hagengaol to Baiyinchagan.  net to ensure the safety of the attacking force.

    More than an hour after the battle was launched, the air defense forces entered a state of combat alert. Because it was already dark, the Soviet bomber group could clearly see the targets on the ground. If it were not for the worry that the Soviet army would invest a large amount of air power, just relying on Le Yiqin's  The fighters of the Southern Flying Group and the Northern Flying Group are fully capable of this task.

    But the division commander Tang Qiuli thought more deeply. Once Le Yiqin's air force fought with a large group of Soviet fighter jets, the air battle could not end quickly and fell into a stalemate. Even if he knew that the Soviet bomber group was coming,  They were also unable to do anything at all, so ground anti-aircraft firepower became the key to preventing Soviet bomber air attacks. The anti-aircraft forces, which had almost no chance of winning a fight, after receiving the order from the division commander, geared up and prepared for the arrival of the Soviet bomber group.  , so that you can let go and have a good time.

    Until nearly nine o'clock in the morning, there was still no sign of the Soviet aircraft fleet. Instead of waiting for the Soviet combat aircraft, we did wait for a call from Le Yiqin.

    "Division Commander, all the fighter units of our Southern and Northern Flying Groups are ready to take off for combat at any time. However, according to reports from radar stations in various places, the Soviet troops in the direction of Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Chita, and Barnur  There has been no movement at the field airport. I suspect there is a conspiracy. Division Commander, do you want to consider sending a few fighter regiments to the area north of the Selenge River to attack the Soviets at the above mentioned airports?  Intention to type it out?" Le Yiqin said.

    Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Why, you can't sit still? If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Why worry? Stalin is even more impatient than us. More than 200,000 troops are caught in the net. The Soviets  We are thinking of a way to avoid tightening the strings of all aviation units and leaving some fighter regiments on combat duty. The rest should take a rest! Your suggestion of sending out several fighter regiments will not be adopted!"

    Le Yiqin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied unwillingly: "Yes. Commander, carry out your order!"

    Then, he put down the phone unhappily and said grumblingly: "The commander is becoming more and more conservative when it comes to fighting. How can we wait for Lao Maozi's fighter jets to come to the door? Why don't we take the initiative? It's strange.  What is this old man planning?"

    Colonel He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group, and Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group, couldn't help but laugh. Le Yiqin glared at them and said in a warning tone: "What I just said is not allowed to be spread outside, especially  It can¡¯t reach the teacher¡¯s ears!¡±

    Le Yiqin¡¯s doubts.  This was also what Tang Qiuli was puzzled about. After thinking for a long time, he could not come up with an answer. But one thing he was sure of was that Stalin would never give up the more than 200,000 people in the Transcaucasus Military Region. The key was what kind of actions the Soviet army took.  Apart from the air force, there should be no other fastest way to rescue.

    Tang Qiuli asked Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, are there any unusual movements by the Soviet troops in the encirclement?"

    Zhao Yuhe shook his head and replied: "No, after the battlefield space was compressed by our army, the Soviet army is taking advantage of the time when we stopped attacking to build temporary fortifications."

    Tang Qiuli asked again: "How many reserve forces does the Soviet army have in the Lake Baikal area?"

    "According to information from the Intelligence Office, after the main forces of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District moved south in a large scale, they left a reinforced regiment in Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Chita, Barnur and other places. On the one hand, they were responsible for urban  The main task of the security mission is to protect its logistics supply base. In total, the Soviet army's strength in that area is about 20,000 people per division. "

    "However, most of the Soviet troops left behind are baggage and logistics troops. Their combat effectiveness is very weak and they do not have many heavy weapons. Division Commander, you are worried that this part of the Soviet troops will go south. Under the three mechanized brigades commanded by Chief of Staff Yang Ketian,  The troops who came to rescue Kulykin before they reached the south bank of the Selenge River? "

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this situation. For a battlefield where more than 500,000 people are fighting between the two armies, how much effect can a logistics unit make up of an infantry division of more than 20,000 people? Stalin also  I am not stupid to this extent. I am worried that Liu Chun and Tong Batu will not be able to take advantage of the two cavalry brigades that have made a long-distance attack on Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude and fight in the streets. "

    "Yu He, immediately report the situation of the Soviet troops in Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude to Liu Chun and Tong Batu, order them to treat it with caution, order all reconnaissance troops to expand the scope of reconnaissance, and contact them immediately  Deputy Commander Liu! Four infantrymen of the Soviet Far East FrontThe army is the combat target of the East Point.  "

    Zhao Yuhe asked again: "Division commander, should we take some actions, such as assaulting the temporary Soviet positions in certain areas? Give appropriate pressure to the Soviet troops in the encirclement!"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Continue to monitor the Soviet army's movements, tighten the encirclement, and wait and see what happens. Soon, Stalin's intentions will come out!"

    Soviet Union, Moscow, Kremlin, at around nine o'clock in the morning on September 28, a tense military meeting was taking place in the office of Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The only theme of the meeting was  Troops of the Transcaucasus Military District surrounded by independent divisions.

    The people attending the meeting were mainly members of the Soviet General Staff, as well as Beria, People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the All-Soviet Committee for the Suppression of Rebellion, and Molotov, People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs. The meeting had been going on for more than an hour. It seemed that  , Stalin, who was sitting in the first place, had a very ugly face, and his hawk-like eyes were constantly scanning the core decision-making members of the Soviet Union present.

    At seven o'clock in the morning, Stalin, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by Marshal Petroshilov, the Chief of General Staff, who hurriedly arrived. Stalin had the habit of going to bed late and getting up late. Naturally, he was very annoyed when his sleep was disturbed. He wore his pajamas.  , came to the living room with a gloomy face.

    Marshal Petroshilov did not take into account the leader's face and said nervously: "Comrade Stalin, there is a big problem with Kulykin's troops!" This highly respected and battle-hardened man among the Soviet Red Army  The Marshal's expression and tone at this moment were filled with uncontrollable panic.

    Stalin was horrified and said dissatisfiedly: "Comrade Petroshilov, why are you panicking? Be more specific!"

    Marshal Petroshilov took a deep breath and said: "Comrade Stalin, at around six o'clock this morning, the General Staff suddenly received an urgent telegram from Comrade Kulykin, commander of the Transcaucasus Military District. General Kulykin said in the telegram  Claiming that they were ambushed and surrounded on three sides by Tang Qiuli's main force of more than 200,000 troops in the area from Hagengaol to Baiyinchagan south of the Selenge River in Outer Mongolia. The independent division used a large number of artillery and dispatched  They mobilized more than a thousand tanks and attacked Kulykin's troops. The situation is very critical! "

    Stalin's face suddenly turned pale, his heart was beating wildly, his chest was so tight, and he could hardly breathe. All the troops in the Transcaucasus Military Region fell into Tang Qiuli's encirclement.  There are so many soldiers, how does Kulykin command them?

    Tang Qiuli set up such a big trap in the northern area of ????Kulun, and Kurejin was not aware of it at all?

    Seeing that the leader's face was as ugly as a dead fish, Marshal Petroshilov hurriedly shouted: "Comrade Stalin! Comrade Stalin!"

    Stalin calmed down and sat slumped on the sofa, frowning. There was a deathly silence in the living room. Marshal Petroshilov was worried. Kulykin's troops were being violently attacked by the independent division.  Delaying for one minute meant more danger, but the leader remained silent without any instructions. He was really anxious, but he did not dare to rush, so he could only wait with an anxious look on his face.

    Suddenly, Stalin raised his head, with a flash of light in his eyes. He seemed to have grasped the key to the problem. Yes, it was what Petroshilov said, surrounded on three sides. "Comrade Petroshilov, Tang Qiuli's troops were in those days."  Attack Kulykin¡¯s troops from a different direction?¡±

    Marshal Petroshilov replied: "In the three directions of south, east and west, no independent division troops were found in the north."

    Suddenly, he seemed to understand why Comrade Stalin asked this question, and then said: "That means that from the Hagengaol and Baiyinchagan areas to the south bank of the Selenge River, there is an opening. However, Comrade Stalin, Tang  Why did Qiu Li do this?"

    Stalin did not answer his question, but asked: "What measures did Kulykin take to deal with it?"

    Marshal Petroshilov replied: "According to the telegram, after being attacked by the Independent Division, Kulykin immediately ordered the troops to build fortifications on the spot and wait for reinforcements!"

    Stalin gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Kurekin, this idiot, what he does will ruin the entire army. Standing still and waiting for reinforcements is wishful thinking and unrealistic. Zhukov's reinforcements will not arrive in a week at the earliest.  In order to reach the battlefield, could Tang Qiuli give Kurekin such a long time? Before the encirclement of the independent division troops had a chance to completely close, he should immediately order the troops to break through and retreat to the north bank of the Selenge River.  !¡±

    Marshal Petroshilov hesitated for a moment and then explained: "Kurekin also explained in the telegram the reason for waiting for reinforcements. He suspected that Tang Qiuli was ambushing a heavy force in the north, and that the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region were retreating.  , launched a surprise attack."

      "He also specifically explained that Tang Qiuli was very cunning and good at using strategies. In the ancient Chinese art of war, there was such a strategy, which is called surrounding three and missing one. It was precisely because of this that Kurejin made the decision to stand still and wait for reinforcements.  decided!"
