Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, commander of the Soviet 43rd Army, was driven crazy by the order from the front army headquarters.  .

    The current situation of the group army was made very clear in several emergency telegrams to the front army headquarters: "The Second Army and the third army to which it belongs have been completely wiped out, leaving only the first army and the group army headquarters.  The troops directly under the command were entangled in the Balekcha area by the superior strength reading division troops. Every step back had to be paid a heavy price. The corpses of soldiers were all over the retreat! "

    "As for the troops directly under the First Army and the Group Army, with no more than 60,000 troops, it is God's blessing that they can finally break out of the siege. Isn't it crazy to want to entangle the main force of the reading force in turn?

    It is easy to judge the results of the Second Army and the Third Army. At the beginning of the battle, the Reading Division besieged the First Army and the troops at the Group Army Headquarters. Although the offensive was fierce, it was not enough to completely delay their retreat.  At dawn, the situation on the battlefield has undergone major changes. The force-readers' attacks have not only become more violent, but also gradually compressed their own living space. They are clearly trying to surround themselves!

    If the Second Army and the Third Army are still fighting, the Chinese Tang Qiuli will not be able to use all his troops. The First Division and the Second Division of the First Army of the Group Army are desperately fighting for the Group Army Headquarters and the Third Army.  Division, opening a hole, paying a huge price of casualties every minute. In this case, the 43rd Army was allowed to hold back the main force of the Reading Division. It was either a wishful thinking or the guys from the Front Army Headquarters.  I'm going crazy when I get it!

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov was so angry that he fainted, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on. The sound of gunfire outside came in waves. The dawn was obscured by the smoke of war everywhere. The temporary command headquarters  Inside, there was an atmosphere of despair and tension. Cannons flying from time to time shook the dilapidated stone house and dust fell "rustlingly". All the staff officers looked at the wooden commander.

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov sighed and asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, how long will it take for the four armies to rescue us to arrive on the battlefield?"

    Chief of Staff Khabarovsky looked at the telegram in his hand and replied: "Comrade Commander, before seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov looked dejected and shook his head, "Before seven o'clock tomorrow morning?" Just kidding, it is not yet six o'clock in the morning. In other words, with a broken army, it has to resist twenty force readers.  Is it possible to besieged by tens of thousands of people around the clock?

    Even the Third Division of the First Army, which did not suffer much losses, was already a rare master if it could hold on until three o'clock this afternoon. It was still in the process of retreating. Now, it is fighting with the Reading Division troops.  Once the race stops, it will be surrounded from all sides. Reports have been received from the troops. On the left and right wings, there are readers troops moving quickly towards the front of the troops to break through.

    "Order the troops to immediately stop the breakout, shrink the defense line, and build defensive positions on the spot. We will stay in the Balekcha area and wait for reinforcements!" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov's eyes looked like a gambler's gray light.  , commanded without any doubt.

    Chief of Staff Khabarovsky was startled, hesitated, and said: "Comrade Commander, hold tight and wait for reinforcements. We will soon be surrounded by the Reading Division troops. Now, relying on our constant movement and breakthrough,  Chinese talents have never formed a situation of being surrounded on all sides. Once we stop, the consequences will be disastrous. Please think twice!¡±

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, with a dull expression on his face, asked: "My Comrade Chief of Staff, even if we don't stand still and wait for reinforcements, and continue to retreat like this, when reinforcements arrive, do you think the group army can still hold on until that time?"  I¡¯m afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, we will be eaten up by Tang Qiuli¡¯s troops.¡±

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov's tone was full of a sense of resignation, "Even if we are lucky and break out part of the troops, we still fail to complete the order of the front headquarters. Do you think Commander Vasilevsky  "Commander, can you spare us? There is still a glimmer of hope!" he said.

    Chief of Staff Khabarovsky's expression was dull. The commander was telling the truth. Now, all the troops of the front army are rushing to the Minusinsk battlefield like sparks. They are equivalent to the main force of the southern front commanded by General Vasilevsky.  , had to abandon the campaign plan to take Kulun directly, which meant that the campaign plan of the Outer Mongolia Front Army was completely disrupted.

    If by then, the 43rd Group Army survives with only one breath left, and the main force of the front army of more than one million people rushes to the battlefield with exhausted hands, they will be left empty-handed and take advantage of the Su Duli Division.  After leaving victoriously, can General Vasilevsky, who has always had a bad temper, spare the survivors?

    Comrade Commander and his own life, if they are not taken away by the Chinese, they will also be taken away by the commander-in-chief of the front army.The officer was taken away, the defeated general, and one charge of not completing the mission was enough!

    The Chief of Staff of Khabarovsk turned around silently and was about to leave. Lieutenant General Bamiyanov called out to him, "Comrade Chief of Staff, please convey to all officers and soldiers of the army to reinforce our troops, a total of four armies.  We are still six hours away from the battlefield. As long as we persist for another six hours, we can wait for reinforcements. All the surviving soldiers of our 43rd Army are heroes of the great Soviet Red Army!"

    The dawn of dawn penetrated the dark gray stratus clouds, projecting a little light onto the cold earth. The morning wind became more and more biting, and everything around Minusinsk was shrouded in a dark cold.

    "Reporting to the division commander, after receiving a telegram from the attacking troops, the Soviet army suddenly stopped breaking out, contracted its troops, and built positions on the spot. Our attack has slowed down!" Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurriedly walked into the tent and walked toward the halfway point.  Tang Qiuli said with his eyes closed.

    "Huh?" Tang Qiuli opened his eyes suddenly, frowned, and then said with a sneer: "Humph, that Bamiyanov probably wanted to wait for help until he couldn't run away. Well, the opportunity has come.  , ordered the troops to immediately encircle the Soviet army, and the battle must be ended before 11 noon today. "

    "Yu He, please adjust your deployment again, put all your strength into it, and with the final blow, we will snatch food from Vasilevsky's mouth! Time, the key is the time to end the battle!"

    Zhao Yuhe said: "It's the division commander. We have ordered the 3rd and 5th brigades to rush in front of the Soviet army at full speed and block the only gap. In another hour, a battlefield situation surrounded on all sides will be formed.  The Soviet army cannot escape!"

    After a pause, Zhao Yuhe said: "Commander, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, do you order the Northern Flying Group's Outer Mongolia patrol area to withdraw the troops in the Pingjin area and send combat aircraft to join the battle to strengthen the attack on the Soviet army?"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "No need, time is too tight. If the Soviet air force gets entangled, Meng Qingpeng's troops will suffer. Yuhe, the troops must use tanks to cover the infantry and attack from all sides.  The central compression method compresses the Soviet troops into a narrow area, concentrates all the artillery fire, and makes the final blow to completely kill the Soviet 43rd Army. We only have five hours!"

    "Five hours!" Zhao Yuhe's eyes narrowed, "Commander, you judge that the Soviet reinforcements will arrive after 11 noon today, not as originally expected.  Around six o'clock this evening?" he asked.

    Tang Qiuli's expression was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "When Bamiyanov was trying his best to break through, he suddenly changed his actions. With only one army, he dared to stand still and wait for help. He either had something to rely on or made a desperate move.  , If it is the former, it falls to our expectations. If it is the latter, the Soviet army will definitely struggle to the death, and the end of the battle will definitely be delayed, which is not good for us! "

    "So, five hours is our maximum limit, because we must keep a distance of more than a day from the main reinforcements of the Soviet army. If we can annihilate them all within the specified time, it is best. If we cannot  , and we should do as much damage as possible!¡±

    The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. The only remaining corps of the Soviet 43rd Group Army, plus the directly affiliated troops, estimated to have more than 70,000 troops, surrounded the Balekcha area, contracted the defense zone, established a ring defense position, and resisted  The readers troops attacked from all sides.

    Because of Lieutenant General Bamiyanov's order, reinforcements were about to arrive. The Soviet army, which was surrounded in the Balekcha area, had the desire to survive and unleashed unprecedented combat power to defend every position.  Fighting to the death, the battle was very fierce. Tang Qiuli invested all his troops and launched a fierce attack on the Soviet army's ring defense system. However, the progress was not as smooth as expected.

    To the west of Ulanguben, in the headquarters of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, the commander and political commissar General Vasilevsky was no longer angry. After receiving the emergency telegram from the 43rd Army, he  The first thing he did was to dismiss the head of the Intelligence Department of the Front Army and put him in custody, awaiting trial under military law. The second thing he did was to send a stern telegram to the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff Headquarters.

    Yes, the predicament we are facing now is all caused by the mistakes of the intelligence department. The main force of the Chinese Tang Qiuli was in Minusinsk, in the Tangnu Mountains on the southern line.  The division troops were just suspicious soldiers, but everyone from the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff to their own intelligence department were fooled!

    Who should be blamed for this debt and how to explain it to Comrade Stalin is a matter of principle. As for the third thing to be done, it is how to rescue the 43rd Group Army. In VasilevGeneral Ski's mind was not just about rescue, he was also thinking about capturing Tang Qiuli's main force in the Minuzhinsk area.
