    "That's enough, Chief of Staff Zhao! Under the current circumstances, any short-sightedness and hesitation will put more than 200,000 independent division soldiers in an extremely dangerous situation. What I need now is not some advice, but  Execute the order immediately!" Tang Qiuli suddenly changed his expression and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe with sharp eyes and sharp tone.

    Zhao Yuhe was really shocked. This was the first time he saw the division commander getting angry at him, and his eyes seemed to kill people. However, he was just stunned for a moment, and immediately replied loudly: "Yes, division commander! You will be executed immediately."  The command!"

    Zhao Yuhe turned around and hurried away. Tang Qiuli's face was ashen and he said to Shan Hu: "Huzi, immediately organize all personnel in the division to evacuate, quickly!"

    "Chen Feng! Chen Feng!" Tang Qiuli shouted again, and Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, hurried over, "Commander, what are your orders?" he asked.

    "Send a report to Ouyang Yishan of the 2nd Brigade and Chu Ziye of the 4th Brigade. Your unit's blockade is actually necessary to buy time for other troops to leave the battlefield. However, the blockade time cannot be too long. The specific situation is  Take control of each, but do not exceed two hours. After the blockade is completed, turn to the direction of Kulun and rendezvous with the main force of the corps. Remember, you must not be reluctant to fight. You must retreat from the battlefield decisively and quickly, with the primary purpose of getting rid of the Soviet entanglement! "Tang!  Qiu Li dictated.

    The flying artillery shells fell densely on the encirclement, shaking the ground and filling the air with fireworks. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers were like sitting on a small boat in the wind and rain, in danger of sinking at any time. Bamiyanov was  The general's face was pale. He never thought that even with the Air Force's fighter jets and bombers, even with the 60,000 reinforcements close at hand.  Tang Qiuli was still determined to encircle and annihilate him, and the 43rd Army could not escape the fate of being annihilated in the end.

    The sound waves caused by the explosion roared in the air. The bodies of the Soviet soldiers were torn apart in the plumes of smoke rising into the sky. The sky was filled with broken limbs and black smoke. Such a fierce bombardment covered every inch of the land.  Almost all were shrouded in fragments of steel.

    Lieutenant General Bamiyanov knew that he would not be spared. Before reinforcements arrived, he and the tens of thousands of surviving soldiers would be bombarded by the volcanic eruption of artillery fire from the Independent Division.  Mi was huddled in the shelter, taking out paper and pen with a dull expression.  Prepare to write a suicide note.

    Suddenly.  The sound of artillery stopped suddenly, like a summer rainstorm, coming and going quickly, unprepared when it came, and gone like the wind. "What happened? Why did the Chinese artillery fire suddenly stop? It was their tanks and infantry. Started  "Is there an attack? But why didn't you hear the fierce gunfire?" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov raised his head blankly, looking at the battlefield still shrouded in smoke and fireworks.  There is a temporary blank in thinking.

    Major General Khabarovsky, the chief of staff of the group army, his head covered with dust and his face was covered with dust. His military uniform had several holes. Under the protection of several guards, he stumbled into the shelter and said, "Comrade, commander, the Chinese are withdrawing."  Let's go, we're saved! - We're saved! It's all over!" He shouted incoherently with excitement.

    "The Chinese have evacuated? - Saved! Two days and two nights like purgatory have passed!" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov seemed to be unable to believe this fact, murmuring and repeating, and suddenly felt weak all over.  , all the strength was withdrawn, and he fell limply to the ground.

    The division commander's order was issued. Ouyang Yishan's second brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade immediately withdrew from the battlefield and faced the 60,000 Soviet reinforcements. The other six brigades took advantage of the encirclement.  The Soviet troops inside were beaten so dizzy that they quickly left the battlefield and headed towards Cullen.

    The blocking of the 2nd and 4th brigades also appeared suddenly. The four Soviet soldiers who were rushing on their way were suddenly attacked more than 20 kilometers away from Balekcha. Groups of mortar shells roared.  It landed in the Soviet marching column and exploded, causing the Soviet soldiers to flip over and set the trucks and armored vehicles on fire. Although the heavy artillery regiments of the two brigades followed the artillery units and withdrew, Ouyang Yishan and Chu Ziye continued to use mortars.  The momentum of the artillery was unleashed.

    Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. The commanders of the four Soviet mechanized troops who received a fatal order must bravely rush in even if the front is a mountain of fire. The Soviet artillery hastily unloaded the artillery hauled by trucks and built positions on the spot.  The Soviet tanks, covering the entire regiment and division of infantry, began a ferocious attack. The tanks' tracks kicked up dust all over the sky and rushed towards the simple fortifications built hastily by the 2nd and 4th brigades.

    Almost immediately after the encounter, the battle reached a fever pitch. Soviet tanks and infantry swarmed in. Artillery shells rained down on the positions of the independent division troops. The frozen soil and smoke from the explosions flew all over the sky, covering the positions.  .

    Two hours later, Ouyang Yishan spoke to Chu Ziye, "Brigadier Chu, Commander ChuThe blocking time has come, and the Second Brigade is ready to withdraw from the battlefield. We must withdraw immediately, otherwise, we will be entangled by the Soviet army. When the main force of the Soviet army catches up behind us, it will be difficult to escape!  "

    The muscles on Chu Ziye's cheeks couldn't help but twitch. In just two hours of blocking, the Fourth Brigade filled in more than 4,000 people. They were suppressed by the Soviet artillery fire. This battle was painful, "  Brigadier Ouyang, I'm ready to retreat, let's go now! We'll settle this debt later!" Chu Ziye said fiercely through gritted teeth.

    Ouyang Yishan put down the phone, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. The second brigade's blocking direction was the Soviet army's key breakthrough area. The casualties of the troops were greater than those of the fourth brigade. The two-hour blocking battle resulted in casualties.  More than 7,000 people attended.

    The reinforcing Soviet soldiers carefully stepped through the battlefield that was still filled with gunpowder smoke and full of bomb craters. Except for a thick layer of shell casings in the simple trenches, there was nothing. When the Chinese retreated, even the bodies of the fallen soldiers were found.  There was no one left, let alone the wounded!

    The four Soviet commanders briefly discussed and before them, they had two options. One was to immediately pursue the retreating independent division troops, and the other was to continue rushing to Bal¨¦ in accordance with the orders of the Front Army Headquarters and the Group Army Headquarters.  Kecha, turn with the 43rd Army.

    The first choice is undoubtedly correct. It is very likely to bite the tail of the independent division troops and entangle them until the arrival of the follow-up troops. However, it also contains an unpredictable danger. In case, this is another Chinese trap, in a certain  There are 60,000 troops waiting for them in this place. In the process of several battles with the independent division, they have already experienced the cunning and ferocity of the Chinese. The follow-up troops are still nearly a day's journey away from them.

    The strength of only 60,000 troops is still not enough compared to the independent division troops that can encircle the 43rd Army's hundreds of thousands of people. If it is really a trap by the Chinese, not only will the 43rd Army not be able to be saved,  Even he had to join in. The 43rd Army, which had more than 100,000 people, was beaten to pieces in two days and almost completely wiped out. This could not but make these Soviet commanders fearful and wary. No one dared to attack them.  He underestimated the notorious Tang Qiuli.

    The second option is the safest, because the order received is to reinforce the 43rd Army as quickly as possible to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, and also to avoid being shot and having family members be killed by the Cheka.  The fate of being captured, as for the further considerations of the front army headquarters, was not within the scope of his concern. Moreover, after being blocked here for two hours, the main force of the independent division had already withdrawn to a safe distance.

    If it is a pursuit, whether we can catch up is still an ambiguous question. The most important thing is that the blocking battle just now was bloody and bloody. The strength of the independent division's blocking troops was obviously less than our own, but it was able to block it for two hours.  , and caused a lot of casualties to the reinforcements, and its combat effectiveness was frightening. After weighing the pros and cons, the commanders of the fourth Soviet reinforcements reached a consensus and resolutely carried out the orders of the front army commander General Vasilevsky.  .

    As a result, the 60,000 Soviet reinforcements followed the remaining traces on the battlefield, buried the corpses, took the wounded, and continued to advance rapidly in the direction of Balekcha, where the unlucky 43rd Army was waiting for rescue.  !

    More than an hour after leaving the blocking battlefield, Major General Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, was sitting in an armored command vehicle. He said nothing, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were murderous. "Stop!" Chu Ziye said to him.  As the driver shouted, the armored command vehicle came to an abrupt stop, rolling up a puff of smoke and dust, and the troops that continued to retreat passed by quickly like a torrent.

    "Chengguang, the Soviet army hasn't caught up yet?" he asked the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Wu Chengguang.

    Wu Chengguang replied: "Brigade commander, the fourth regiment serving as rear guard reported that the Soviet army continued to move towards Balekcha and did not pursue us. The reconnaissance force also confirmed this. In front of them, the troops had completely separated from the battlefield.  "

    "Damn, it's so boring. I'm still planning to kill the Soviet army in a counterattack!" Chu Ziye muttered dissatisfiedly, with regret on his face. According to Chu Ziye's idea, he really planned to kill the Soviet army in a counterattack. He judged that reinforcements were needed.  It is impossible for all the Soviet troops to be used to pursue themselves and the second brigade, so they can take advantage of the opportunity and catch up to 10,000 or 20,000 people, which is just food for them. They can continue to keep aloof from the pursuing Soviet troops for a day or two.  After that, find a suitable area, suddenly turn around, and eat the pursuing Soviet troops.

    Unexpectedly, the Soviet army did not cooperate and did not dare to catch up, which made Chu Ziye feel frustrated. "Chengguang, order the fourth rearguard regiment to speed up the march and catch up with the main force of the brigade!" He said to Wu Chengguang.

    Jumping out of the armored command vehicle, Chu Ziye lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, looked at the troops passing by like a torrent, his eyes wandered for a few times, and he began to think, "If the Soviet army did not pursue him, then  Are there any pursuers in the direction of the second brigade????  If so, it¡¯s also a good opportunity!  "
