Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the Gurbansaihan battlefield in southern Outer Mongolia, the Independent Division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps and three infantry brigades built a blocking line to block the remnants of the Soviet 37th Group Army that had retreated from Saiyinsanda. Battlefield  The situation above was not optimistic for the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, because several deserters appeared in key positions, causing a hole in the position to be torn open by the Soviet army.

    Although the opening was not big, it was just a class-sized defensive position, but it gave the Soviet army the opportunity to break through the blocking position. As the saying goes, "A dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest." The third Soviet army was eager to escape.  Lieutenant General Hippolyv, the commander of the 17th Group Army, immediately seized the opportunity and invested almost all his troops in a crazy attack. The third brigade of the defense forces in this area, from the brigade commander Colonel Rao Zhonghan to ordinary handymen  , all threw themselves into this fight.

    The Third Brigade, even within the combat sequence of the Mongolian Field Corps, which was just formed less than half a year ago, is also the latest unit to be formed. Except for some company, platoon leader and other combat backbones who have been on the battlefield and smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke, they are absolutely  Most of the soldiers are novices. If they are from other veteran regiments of the Independent Division, not only will they not be attacked by the Soviet army, they may even launch a few beautiful counterattacks, completely suppressing the Soviet army's arrogance.  !

    But this is just a good wish. Yao Zhonghan, who was transferred from the position of commander of the fifth brigade of Niangziguan Garrison Corps, still carries the rank of colonel. The moment the submachine gun ran out of bullets, these thoughts flashed in his mind.  A flash of regret, hatred, or self-blame passed through his mind. He had no time to think about it. Before he could change the magazine, an exclamation came from behind him, "Brigadier, be careful!"

    Rao Zhonghan was already extremely tired.  He could only twist his body reluctantly, but before he could turn around, a sharp pain spread from his lower back to his whole body. All the strength in his body was almost taken away in an instant, "Fuck! He was still shot after all!" Rao Zhong  Han cursed in his heart, and a tall Soviet soldier with a fleshy face pulled out a bloody bayonet from his body.  Then, the bayonet was retracted, ready to add another touch to completely kill the squadron colonel.

    Rao Zhonghan turned his head with great effort to see the Soviet soldier's bayonet.  Under the sunshine in southern Outer Mongolia, there is a dazzling cold light.  It reached my chest in the blink of an eye.  "Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the Soviet soldier's bayonet almost hit his chest, but his head burst open, and scarlet blood splashed several feet high.  The bayonet scraped across his body. Rao Zhonghan's eyes darkened as he saw several guards rushing forward, taking positions far ahead.  Groups of Soviet soldiers surged up like a tide.

    "It's over, the position is lost! What a shame!" Rao Zhonghan muttered before losing consciousness. Then, boundless darkness flooded him like a tide.

    Rao Zhonghan read it right. The Soviet army was rushing towards the breach. In addition to continuing to attack in other directions to contain the troops of the other two brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps so that they could not divide their troops to reinforce the breach, the Soviet army  Lieutenant General Hippolyv, commander of the 37th Group Army, invested all his troops in the direction of the breakthrough. This was an opportunity to survive a desperate situation.

    With extreme fear and excitement, Lieutenant General Hippolyv ordered the troops to stand firm at the breakthrough point at any cost, even if the soldiers wanted blood and dyed the ground under their feet red, and the corpses filled the trenches of the independent division troops.  We must also break through the Chinese blockade, otherwise, the 37th Army will not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.

    There are countless possibilities for reversing the situation of the war. One of them is because of one person and a veteran army that fought hard through the hail of bullets, or in other words, because of the character of its commander.  Major General Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade, felt really bad after handing over the built fortifications to several brigade commanders from the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. Even his words had a sour taste.

    Ren Zhaoquan was not thinking, and said to several brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps who came to hand over the fortifications: "Come on, please check and accept the fortifications. The division commander gave me a fatal order to build them for the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.  The fortifications must be able to withstand the uninterrupted bombardment of the Soviet army's large-caliber artillery, and they must be able to block the Soviet army for more than eight hours, and the casualties of the troops must be the minimum standard! "

    The three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with careful smiles, all recognized the sourness in the words of the brigade commander directly under the corps, but they all understood that the fortifications were built by others. No matter how you say it, there are ready-made  The fortifications can be used, what an advantage it takes. Among them is Rao Zhonghan, commander of the Third Brigade.

    Seeing them like this, looking like they were taking advantage, Ren Zhaoquan was even more upset, "The division commander has given orders to die. We don't dare to cut corners or mess around. Alas! Who gets their fate? You guys tell us, we follow morality."  Lun ran more than 100 kilometers, nearly 20,000 people, worked exhaustingly for six or seven hours, and dug the fortifications. Hi, TeacherThe commander gave an order to withdraw to Delen. Well, seeing a big battle, there is nothing going on without our 11th Brigade. Where can we reason?  "

    Ren Zhaoquan was spitting and complaining loudly. The three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were smiling and did not say a word to each other. After all, we are fighting the war, and the 11th Brigade is a veteran.  The main field brigade was regarded as engineers by the division commander. They dug trenches for other troops but were not allowed to fight. It was inevitable that they felt uncomfortable. It was normal to say a few complaints. I understand, long live understanding!

    Ren Zhaoquan grumbled and felt a little more comfortable. He knew that he had nothing to say to the three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. It was not them who refused to let him fight. It was the division commander's order. He then briefly explained a few words, and then  , led the troops back to Delen listlessly. Because they were not active, the troops did not go fast. Compared with when they came, they were more than half slower!

    The march had only been more than an hour. Ren Zhaoquan, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, had been thinking about this matter. Suddenly he hit his head and came up with an excellent idea. On the position, he noticed that the Outer Mongolia Field Corps  The three infantry brigades were lightly equipped to pursue the Soviet army and marched long distances. Heavy weapons such as artillery were left behind. How could such a large-scale blockade be fought without artillery? Why not suffer the Soviet army's losses?

    Ren Zhaoquan's idea was to temporarily place the heavy artillery regiment of his brigade under the command of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' interdiction force. Are they friendly troops? We are all a family, supporting a heavy artillery regiment. That is our duty. We set out from Delen.  At that time, Ren Zhaoquan himself was more cautious. If the Soviet army's retreating troops suddenly arrived at Gurbansai Khan while digging fortifications, would his troops still have to return to Delen?

    Definitely not necessary, they were all marked up, and the division commander could still forcefully order him to withdraw from the battlefield. Therefore, Ren Zhaoquan accepted the order to pursue the troops and dig fortifications for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, but in fact, he wanted to join the war in his heart.  , the brigade belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, so of course you have to bring it with you. It is no small matter for a heavy artillery regiment to return to the front line. It needs heavy escort. If the number of troops is small, what if an accident occurs?

    Ren Zhaoquan found a very reasonable reason for himself, and the brigade commander gave the order. As a result, the nearly 20,000 troops of the 11th Brigade, who had been less enthusiastic about returning to Delun, turned around and felt wind at their feet.  , rushed to Gurban Saikhan with full energy. For these old and powerful troops, it was very exciting to have a battle. This trip completely changed the war situation and saved the three-year-old Outer Mongolia Field Corps.  An infantry brigade, nearly the lives of more than 50,000 soldiers.

    Ren Zhaoquan also carefully weighed whether his actions were disobeying the division commander's military orders. After pondering for a long time, he reassured himself, "The division commander's order did not stipulate at what specific time the 11th Brigade must  Returning to Delenn, that is to say, there is not much difference between a few hours in advance and a few hours in delay!" He thought to himself that the next problem would be much simpler. Just as the troops were about to return, the Soviet army retreated suddenly.  to.

    Then, the heavy artillery regiment had to stay in order to provide fire support to the lightly-armed Outer Mongolia Field Corps troops who were pursuing them. We couldn't just watch our brother troops suffer. If the heavy artillery regiment stayed, the other four infantry regiments, of course, couldn't just sit back and watch and put in the troops.  Fighting is the most basic method, "Hey!" Ren Zhaoquan smiled proudly. All the conditions were put together, and the 11th Brigade had to go into battle. How could the division commander punish himself?

    He did not disobey the military order. Besides, he would fight for a few hours and wait for the follow-up troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to arrive. It would not be too late to withdraw to Delen. Ren Zhaoquan was quite proud of his whimsical idea and followed the armor command.  The car was bumping, he was shaking his head, and he was mumbling something, looking very intoxicated.

    Seeing the brigade commander's triumphant look, the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Fu Dechun, burst into laughter and said, "Brigadier commander, it's better not to be complacent. You didn't return to Delun as ordered and participated in the battle without permission. Thinking about how to deal with it."  Master, Master is not easy to fool!" he reminded.

    Ren Zhaoquan smiled mysteriously, "Chief of Staff, don't worry about this. The mountain man has his own clever plan. Besides, we don't have to finish the fight all the time. The whole brigade goes up and fights him for two or three hours, which is close to noon, and then  It¡¯s not too late to withdraw to Delun, just rush back this evening. If you just rush back like this, won¡¯t you feel panicked?¡±

    Fu Dechun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not think that the brigade commander's reasons could convince the division commander. After all, the 11th Brigade's return to the Gurbansai Khan battlefield was a violation of the division commander's orders.

    Seeing his chief of staff looking worried, Ren Zhaoquan cheered: "Dechun, it's no big deal. Tell me, are there any loopholes in the order the division commander gave us? Hey, if there are loopholes, we have to exploit them.  If the other troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps pounce, will we still have a chance to fight? We have to take advantage of it as soon as possible?!  "
