Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In October, the grasslands of Outer Mongolia are already a scene of early winter. The cold north wind whistles across both sides of the Onen River, blowing the withered and yellow pastures, grass blades and grass stems flying all over the sky, turning the originally clear sky.  , it was so chaotic that the fluffy white grass and tamarisk trees were trembling in the wind.

    I don¡¯t know when, in the northwest sky, groups of leaden gray clouds rolled over, blocking the bright afternoon sunshine. The north wind became stronger and stronger, and the weather was about to change. The first snow on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia,  Come unexpectedly.

    But on the west bank of the Enen River, where the north wind was howling and the sky was filled with withered grass, behind a high hill, there were neat cavalry formations, row after row, solemn and solemn. The strong wind blew up the corner of the soldiers' uniforms.  , hunting in the wind, nearly 20,000 cavalry and the horses under them were silent and motionless, as if they merged into the howling world, one after another, the military flags made a huge sound like cracking silk in the wind.  ring.

    Major General He Zhuguo, commander of the East Finger Cavalry Mixed Brigade, was riding on a tall black horse. His thick body was as motionless as a mountain. He let the strong wind blow across his face without frowning. In the distance, several cavalrymen were galloping towards him.

    When he arrived in front of He Zhuguo, he reined in the horse suddenly. The two front hooves of the war horse lifted off the ground and fell heavily. A young captain raised his hands in salute on the horse and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, the brigade's reconnaissance company  Chang Song Changfa reported that the defeated Soviet troops, numbering about **0,000, were divided into seven groups and were approaching the west bank of the Onen River. They were still ten kilometers away from us. After the report, please give instructions to the brigade commander! "

    He Zhuguo raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I know, continue to monitor! By the way, do the Soviets have tanks and artillery?"

    Song Changfa replied affirmatively: "No. They are all infantry. Our scouts didn't even see a truck. Brigadier, think about it. Nine brigades of troops were commanded by the deputy division commander, and they were chased and beaten five or six times."  It¡¯s God¡¯s time to throw away everything that needs to be thrown away. It¡¯s God who takes care of us if we can reach the Enen River!¡±

    He Zhuguo had a straight face.  He showed a smile and said: "You are so smart, if I show up with an artillery cannon, I will skin you!"

    Song Changfa shrank his neck and saluted.  He quickly hit his horse and galloped away, and He Zhuguo couldn't help but laugh.

    Then.  Turning back to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Jia Lianhai, he said: "Lian Hai. It's worth noting that we ran for several days and finally waited for the big fish. There were 10,000 people, which was less than I expected. I ordered the troops to march from one regiment to six  Regiment. The seventh and eighth regiments were each responsible for attacking the Soviet army's middle route, and ordered the mortar battalions of each regiment to launch the most violent bombardment after the Soviet army entered the bombardment range.  Disrupt the Soviet army's position.

    "At the beginning of the artillery bombardment, after the cavalry begins to charge, tell the artillery battalion commander to pay attention to the speed of the cavalry. If a cannonball falls in the formation of our cavalry charge, I will skin him alive!"

    "The attack must be fierce and rapid, without giving the Soviet army time to react. The three battalions of each regiment are deployed at the same time to penetrate the Soviet army. Then, they charge repeatedly and tell several regiment commanders to pay attention to tactical coordination.  Try to completely disrupt the Soviet army when the deputy division commander commands the main force to catch up! "

    Chief of Staff Jia Lianhai took a deep breath, hesitated, and said: "Brigadier Commander, the strength of the Soviet army is more than four times greater than ours. If the battle lasts for a long time, the casualties of the troops will probably be huge. We might as well accept Brigadier Li's suggestion.  After an assault, it is safer to leave the battlefield immediately, and then conduct a new attack according to the battle pattern. "

    "Also, it is a very dangerous tactical arrangement for the cavalry to charge first and then carry out the mortar bombardment. The cavalry is too fast. If the artillery shells fall in our queue, it will be terrible! Brigadier, still  Play it safe, bombard first, and then the cavalry begins to charge!¡±

    Jia Lianhai did not go into detail about what he said. In fact, Chen Guozhu, commander of the 10th East Point Brigade, who served as the commander of the blocking force, adopted the method that the 10th Brigade built blocking positions on the east bank of the Onen River to prevent the Soviet troops from crossing the river.  The mixed cavalry brigades were hidden on both sides of the Soviet army. After the Soviet army fought with the 10th Brigade, the cavalry suddenly rushed out, fought through them, and then quickly left the battlefield to prepare for the next attack.

    Unexpectedly, He Zhuguo refused. In his words, "What does the cavalry do? It's a frontal assault. How can you hide behind the infantry and take advantage of it? Just say it and make everyone laugh. I'll take all the sabers with 20,000 yuan."  Come on, you infantrymen!"

    Chen Guozhu knew He Zhuguo's temper and was very stubborn. Even ten old bulls couldn't pull him back when he was sure of something. During the battlefield in western Liaoning, the East Point troops fought small-scale battles, at most the size of a regiment.  Moreover, they were still fighting with mechanized troops. In two or three years, the cavalry mixed brigade failed to win any battles. He Zhuguo was so depressed that his eyes turned blue and he was full of complaints. He often made trouble with the deputy division commander.

    ?When the deputy division commander asked him to form a team with He Zhuguo, he complained in his heart. This brother He was not an ordinary disobedient. He had been holding it in for two or three years, but he was sent out and why didn't he give it a good shake?

    Now, he really followed what he said. He said that he was the commander-in-chief, but it was obvious that the cavalry mixed brigade did not listen to him. Especially after he received a telegram from the deputy division commander, ordering the troops to change the original battle plan, He Zhuguo became even more confident.  .

    "See, brother Chen, the deputy division commander is asking us to block these old guys with all our strength. If we passively block it, we will definitely suffer losses. Only by taking the initiative can we complete the mission. Our cavalry is best suited for such a job!" He Zhuguo said!  said.

    Now, seeing his chief of staff bring up this topic again, He Zhuguo surprisingly did not get angry, but said in a serious tone: "Lian Hai, I understand what you mean. It is much safer on the east bank of the river than facing the enemy with your back to the water. How to fight?"  , there is also a way out, but it¡¯s useless to think about it. The Soviet army¡¯s strength is more than four times ours. How can we fight this battle?¡±

    "With more than 15,000 people, Brigadier Chen, we will definitely not be able to close the gap. If the Soviet army breaks through the blocking line, we will fail to complete the task assigned by the deputy division commander. Even if our cavalry brigade is wiped out, at least we will be able to  After killing two or three times more of the old Maozi soldiers, Brigadier Chen¡¯s 10th Brigade will definitely be able to deal with the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 people. It¡¯s worth it if we fight them all!¡±

    Having said this, He Zhuguo smiled coldly and continued: "Besides, we are just waiting for work. The Soviet army retreated in embarrassment, and the morale is different. I placed the troops by the river with no retreat, just to break the boat and fight.  It¡¯s still unclear who will eat whom!¡±

    "There is also Lian Hai. My tactical arrangement may seem dangerous, but in fact it is well-thought-out. The artillery attack must be the Soviet light infantry running at the front. When I see our cavalry start to charge, Lao Maozi's first  The reaction would be to set up light and heavy machine guns. Even though the Soviet army had no tanks and artillery, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns could be fired at. It was no joke. At least it could kill our first wave of cavalry.  , they were all beaten to the ground, do you think the casualties can be small?¡±

    "So, I have to wait for the Soviet army to set up the light and heavy machine guns, and then the artillery shells will hit them. Next, can the rifles in the hands of the Soviet infantry stop the cavalry? How about, we can win the battle by surprise!"

    Jia Lianhai sighed silently. He admitted that what the brigade commander said was right. However, seeing a mixed cavalry brigade with more than 19,000 cavalry dying on the battlefield, he couldn't accept it in his heart. Moreover, the brigade commander's tactics  The arrangement was a bit uncertain no matter how you looked at it, but he couldn't say anything else. It was obvious that the brigade commander was already determined to die.

    At this time, a cavalry correspondent galloped over, "Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance unit reported that the Soviet army is close to our attack range!"

    He Zhuguo shouted: "Okay! Chief of Staff, give the flags to each regiment and attack immediately. It's time for us Northeastern men to go into battle and kill the enemy!" After saying that, with a "swish" sound, he drew out his saber and pointed the blade diagonally.  In front of him, he yelled "Kill!" like a thunderbolt and took the lead to fly out. Behind him, more than 4,000 cavalrymen from two cavalry regiments stirred up dust all over the sky and surged toward Su in the strong north wind.  The army goes to kill!

    The Soviet soldiers, who were driven away by the gunfire from behind and to the left and did not dare to stop, were running fiercely. Suddenly, the ground under their feet began to tremble, and there was a faint muffled sound like a drum. Looking up,  Behind a long hill, a cloud of gray smoke rolled up. The smoke was getting higher and thicker, and then a bright blade appeared on the horizon where dark clouds gathered.

    Then, war horses galloping all over the mountains and fields appeared on the hills more than ten kilometers away, like a rising wave, boundless and surging, coming over, "Enemy's cavalry!" I don't know if it was the officer who shouted  .

    After a brief panic, the well-trained Soviet soldiers, under the orders of commanders at all levels, immediately lay down on the spot, and light and heavy machine guns came forward. The machine gunners quickly dug out the firepower points, black holes.  The muzzle of his gun was pointed at the sweeping cavalry. Although the Soviet soldiers were uneasy, they were still familiar with the cavalry.

    Closer, closer, in another three or four kilometers, the cavalry of the independent division will fall in pieces under the dense rain of bullets. At this moment, in the sky covered with dark clouds, a scream suddenly came,  The experienced Soviet veterans turned pale at that time. They could hear the sound of groups of mortar shells falling from above their heads.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª!  The artillery shells exploded indiscriminately, sending up clouds of smoke and flying shrapnel. Although the artillery fire was not very dense and the area covered by the artillery fire seemed thin, and it did not hit the depth of the Soviet army's ranks, but for the temporary weight of the Soviet army,  For a machine gun position, it is deadly.Attack!

    The Soviet machine gunners, together with their light and heavy machine guns, were thrown high into the air by the exploding shells. When they landed, they were already broken corpses with parts scattered all over the place.
