Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the ** division and chief of staff of the directly affiliated corps, arrived at the assembly point in Kulun on time according to the prescribed time. This is a good thing, because Zhao Yuhe's arrival means that he will be the first to enter the outside world.

The Liu Hongzhang Department of the 1st Brigade and the Ouyang Yishan Department of the 2nd Brigade of the Mongolian Corps have reached the front line of the Selenge River.: Read the novel

Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops would not have to fight a very difficult blocking battle with weak troops and equipment in the face of the fierce attack of seven Soviet divisions. If time allowed, division commander Tang Qiuli could mobilize foreign troops.

The Mongolian border guards dispersed other troops stationed in various places to strengthen the blocking force, but what they lacked most was time. The arrival of Zhao Yuhe and the two main field brigades can greatly relieve Sun Zhenbang's pressure."

Zhao Yuhe was in the dust, his face was exhausted, and his uniform was splashed with mud and water. Tang Qiuli greeted him affectionately: "Yuhe, you are really timely. The first and second brigades are already in a daze.

Are the front lines of Gehe deployed? Tell us about the speed of the other troops' advance!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuhe put down the bowl of milk tea he had just taken a sip from and said with an ugly face: "I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't complete the mission. I was originally scheduled to enter the Outer Mongolia area first, heading for the First Brigade and the Second Brigade on the Selenge River line.

The Second Brigade failed to reach the designated area on time and is currently marching on the grassland road more than 300 kilometers north of Saiyinshanda. It is still more than a day away from Kulun."

"What?" Tang Qiuli was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. The news brought by Zhao Yuhe was a huge blow to him. It would take at least two days to reach the front line of the Selenge River from Kulun.

The time to reach Cullen means that the first brigade and the second brigade

The brigade arrived at the front line of the Selenge River three days later on September 21. The first two brigades to enter the Outer Mongolia area were advancing at such a speed. The other units of the directly affiliated corps behind them reached the designated area.

It is conceivable that the time must be postponed!

This means that Sun Zhenbang's four infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades, and two artillery brigades still have to bear the tremendous pressure of the seven Soviet divisions. "Bang!" Tang Qiuli held the milk tea bowl in his hand.

He placed his heavy weight on the Kang table and walked back and forth hurriedly several times in the small room. He suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Yuhe angrily.

Tang Qiuli's tone was chilly and he asked coldly: "Chief of Staff Zhao. I need to know. The reason why the troops did not arrive at the designated area on time was because my order was sent out late, or because you did not keep the military situation in mind when arranging the troops to march.

Are you taking it seriously, or do you not understand the content of my order?"

Zhao Yuhe's face became paler. He lowered his head and said seriously: "None of them, division commander. When I received your order, all the troops of the directly affiliated corps had already arrived at the grasslands around Chahar. I

The brigades were given orders to march urgently. According to the marching speed of the troops, they can reach the designated area on time!"

Tang Qiuli yelled angrily: "Then why? The first and second brigades are still marching slowly north of the Saiyin Mountain Belt. Do you know Yuhe, just because you did not arrive at the designated location on time?

Sun Zhenbang's troops will be under great pressure and the south bank of the Lenge River will be stained with blood!"

Zhao Yuhe did not dare to look at the division commander's angry eyes and explained in a low voice: "Commander, the situation is like this. After entering mid-September, there were continuous heavy rains in southern Outer Mongolia and northern Chahar, and all the rivers burst out with flash floods.

, from Jining, Erlianhot to Saiyinshanda, roads were washed away by floods, bridges were broken, and the marching speed of the troops was greatly affected. The brigades directly under our corps are all mechanized troops, and their control over the roads

The degree of dependence is very high, so..."

Tang Qiuli was still angry and roared: "This is not the reason why you can't arrive at the designated assembly area on time. Each brigade has pontoons and engineering troops, and Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the division's logistics department, is also directly under the corps.

Heading to Outer Mongolia, providing

Logistics support? What does Zhou Yushan do for food? In Indochina, are the equipment for the troops just a pile of scrap metal? Or are the soldiers directly under the corps spoiled by you and become young soldiers who cannot endure hardship?

Can’t walk without the wheels of a car?”

Zhao Yuhe lowered his head and spoke silently. Outside Tang Qiuli's temporary office, dozens of staff officers and correspondents were silent, not daring to speak out. Shan Hu, Mei Xue and the Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard rushed over after hearing the sound.

Colonel Wang Jun stood outside the door, helpless and helpless. In the whole yard, only Tang Qiuli's roar could be heard.

It was extremely rare for Tang Qiuli to be so furious, especially against his Chief of Staff. When he was in Indochina, even the former Chief of Staff, Major General Chang Feng, had an attitude and approach when facing the riots that made Tang Qiu so angry.

Li was very disappointed and he didn't

Sun Zhenbang lost his temper and reprimanded Chang Feng loudly. Sun Zhenbang presided over the overall military and political situation in Outer Mongolia and failed to deal with the forces of the "Foreign Independent Alliance", which resulted in the existence of great hidden dangers in Outer Mongolia today. Tang Qiuli did not do the same.

A harsh rebuke.

But today, he was uncharacteristically furious, as furious as a lion. In this situation, no one dared to go in to persuade him. Even someone as close as plum snow or a mountain tiger could do nothing. Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard, did not dare

The ones who interrupted, lost their temper, and were scolded were the two bosses of the medical department. Both of them had higher positions and qualifications than himself. Wang Jun felt that he was not worthy enough.

Zhao Yuhe's low voice came from the room, "Commander, I have not completed your order. Please punish me. I have no objections. However, you cannot blame the soldiers. Since receiving the order from the division commander, the army has been

They marched continuously for three days and three nights. Along the way, they fought with

Fighting against floods and broken bridges, the soldiers have less than five hours of rest every day, supplies cannot be delivered, the area damaged by water is too large, and the equipment is not enough. Minister Zhou has tried every means to ensure the safety of the troops as much as possible.

Marching speed, they tried their best, division commander!"

Tang Qiuli spoke for a long time, then suddenly sighed, with an indescribable tiredness in his tone, "Yuhe, it's not that I'm angry, but the current situation in Outer Mongolia is very critical. The Soviet Army has seven divisions with nearly 100,000 troops.

On the front line of Lake Baikal, Sun Zhenbang had less than 60,000 troops, but he had to block the Soviet army's southward attack on the long Selenga River."

"Yuhe, this is a blocking battle with a huge disparity in strength. The Outer Mongolian border defense troops are bound to pay a huge price. If the Selenge River blocking line is breached, the Soviet army can go straight to Kulun. By then, the surrounding areas of Kulun will be

Without strong troops to defend, and the separatist forces in Culun City take the opportunity to riot again, attack from inside and outside, and cooperate with each other from the inside, we will not be able to defend Culun. Yuhe, we will have to abandon Culun and retreat towards the country."

"Tens of thousands of soldiers sacrificed their lives and tens of thousands of soldiers shed blood, and the victory of regaining Outer Mongolia will be handed over to the Soviets. I feel sorry for them. Even if we fight back in the future, we will still be able to

Expelling the Soviet army and regaining Outer Mongolia, however, several years of construction, hard work, and results will be destroyed in one day. We cannot afford to lose the battle of Yuhe and Outer Mongolia!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes were moist. He stood up suddenly, gave a solemn military salute, and said in an excited tone: "Commander, please stop talking. I understand everything. I will rush back to the army immediately and organize an advance force to arrive at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

Before one o'clock, no matter how exhausted we are, we have to rush to the front line of the Selenge River to block the Soviet army's southward path and buy enough time for the troops!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head, pushed Zhao Yuhe back to the chair, and said: "Yuhe, since this is the case, there is no need. All my anxiety is based on Stalin's eagerness to attack Outer Mongolia, and

The judgment made is that maybe, after Stalin won Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude without a fight, he couldn't figure out our reality and had no intention of going south in a short period of time?"

Even Zhao Yuhe, who was full of self-blame in his heart, realized that some of the division commander's words were not sincere, but mostly for the purpose of comforting himself. Since the Soviets took action around Lake Baikal, they would never give up on reoccupying Outer Mongolia.

opportunity, the situation is still critical!

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe, whose eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Yuhe, you have traveled a long distance. You have been working hard all the way. Eat something quickly and take the time to rest! Don't worry about anything. I just said

Some emotions are out of control!"

Zhao Yuhe saluted and walked out. Mei Xue, Shan Hu and Wang Jun were waiting outside. They wanted to say something to comfort him, but they didn't know how to speak. They could only look at Zhao Yuhe's tired figure silently.

, disappeared into the night.

Tang Qiuli looked outside the door and shouted loudly: "Chief of Staff Wang, come in, what's going on?"

Wang Jun pushed the door open and entered, first observed the division commander's mood, and said: "Division commander, there is nothing wrong. The 2nd Cavalry Brigade has safely crossed the Selenge River and is expected to reach Kulun at noon the day after tomorrow. In addition,

Commander Liu Cuigang of the Northern Aviation Group called and has already led his troops to airports in various places in Outer Mongolia."

Looking at his watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening on September 18th. Tang Qiuli said to Wang Jun: "Order the Tong Batu Brigade to increase the march speed and arrive at Kulun in advance. Order Liu Cuigang to send out a large number of troops early tomorrow morning."

The reconnaissance planes went deep into the front line of Lake Baikal, especially the Barnur and Chita areas, and conducted careful reconnaissance. I always had a hunch that the Soviet army was preparing a large-scale military operation, and the target should be in the direction of Kulun!"

Wang Jun was startled and couldn't help but said: "Commander, wouldn't Commander Sun's troops on the front line of the Selenge River be in danger?"

Tang Qiuli sighed slightly, and seemed to be talking to himself: "This is also where I am most anxious."
