Age of Conquest Reborn

Two Soviet infantry divisions appeared in places where they should not have appeared. For this reason, the regiment and battalion-level officers of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade were arguing endlessly about how to fight this battle. In fact, by this time, the division commander Tang

Qiu Li's telegram approving the battle has not arrived yet!

A mature and steady colonel officer, about forty years old, coughed and attracted everyone's attention. It was Wei Guoliang, the commander of the first regiment. He can be regarded as a veteran commander of the third cavalry brigade.

, very prestigious. When the officers were arguing, he didn't say anything. He just drooped his eyelids and looked at this and that from time to time. Just like brigade commander Zeng Shiqiang, no one could guess what he was thinking.

When Zeng Shiqiang saw that Wei Guoliang was going to speak, he became interested and said: "Old Wei, you are so tired at ordinary times. You have a lot of weird ideas. Let's talk about it and let everyone listen!"

Wei Guoliang grinned and said: "Brigade Commander, everyone, my opinion is to support the first approach. Everyone knows that the mission given to our brigade by the division commander is to penetrate deep into the rear of the Soviet army and harass their logistics supply lines.

Cooperate with the frontal battlefield to reduce the pressure on Commander Sun. Therefore, our battle is just a piggy-back fight. What if we are entangled by the Soviet army?"

"Also, now that this Soviet army has been discovered, who can guarantee whether there are other Soviet troops within a radius of dozens of kilometers? What if we start fighting here and Soviet troops from other places surround us?

What to do? Therefore, I insist on a small fight, choose the Soviet rearguard troops or baggage troops, put the entire brigade into battle, engage them once, and then leave immediately."

Wei Guoliang's words were undoubtedly very convincing. None of the officers who advocated a big fight spoke. The venue fell into silence for a while. Zeng Shiqiang frowned. In his heart, he was not very satisfied with Wei Guoliang's words.

, he only saw the danger, but not the fighter plane.

Uzhgentala is more than 80 kilometers away from the main battlefield of Selenge River, and the marching direction of this Soviet army is due west. It is obvious that it is a force with a separate mission. Before camping,

, Chief of Staff Tian Guangzhu, has ordered each regiment to send out reconnaissance teams to conduct reconnaissance within a radius of 20 kilometers, but no Soviet troops were found. Furthermore, it was a surprise battle, and the battle ended within thirty minutes.

It will end within.

Even if other Soviet troops came to reinforce, they could not arrive within 40 or 50 minutes for 20 kilometers. By then, the troops would have already escaped into the darkness, and the troops near Uzhgentala

The terrain, either hills or bushes, is more conducive to troops evacuating the battlefield.

Zeng Shiqiang was about to speak. Chief of Staff Tian Guangzhu hurried over, holding a telegram and said: "Brigadier Commander, after receiving the order from the division commander, our brigade's mission is to follow the Soviet army westward, but mainly focus on rapid attacks and sneak attacks.

, in the Ulyasutai area, work with the 6th and 7th brigades of the directly affiliated corps, as well as our eight cavalry regiments stationed in the western region, to completely annihilate this Soviet force. You, the brigade commander, serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the campaign!"

Zeng Shiqiang grabbed the telegram, read it quickly, laughed and said: "Okay, guys, the division commander has given the order to let our brigade follow the Soviet army westward and take care of them along the way. We can be regarded as fighting against this Soviet army."

When the army is facing each other, it won't work without fighting. Now, it's not a question of big fight or small fight, but a question of how to hurt the old man!"

When the officers of the second brigade heard the division commander's order to fight, they still followed the fight. They immediately put their differences behind them. Wei Guoliang, the commander of the first regiment, was the first to stand up and said: "Brigade commander, the old rules,

We will attack as a group! What do you think of the attack?"

The other two regiment leaders quit and said with a pale face: "Old Wei, you are not kind. Just now you were so red-mouthed and white-fanged that you opposed the beating. Why, as soon as the division commander asked us to give us a hard beating, you

He immediately changed his face and took over the main attack task. This is not okay, our two groups are not vegetarians! Why do you two groups take the main attack?"

Wei Guoliang was not in a hurry, and the old god said calmly: "There is no way, what's the old rules? Ask the brigade commander, in that battle, we were not the main attack as a group!"

The other two regiment commanders were still arguing. Zeng Shiqiang waved his hand and said: "Calm down, the battle hasn't started yet. You guys have started fighting. In this battle, there is no main attack or assist. The whole brigade is

This is the main attack, below, I will assign combat missions!"

"I just took a look. The Soviet army's campsites are divided into regiments. Together with the division-affiliated teams, there are a total of twelve campsites. We can't take care of them all. In this way, every two

A battalion is a group of assault troops, a brigade headquarters reconnaissance company, a guard company, a communications company, a mortar company, and a regiment and a battalion are a group, forming a total of five assault troops. Five adjacent targets are selected to carry out surprise attacks.

Attack."

"Each attacking force must covertly engage the enemy thirty minutes in advance. The attack must be fast and fierce, and the withdrawal must be rapid. Don't be wary or procrastinate. After thirty minutes, no matter how good the fight is, all attacking forces must leave the battlefield, and then

, dispersed and retreated, and assembled in the Jirengaole area, thirty kilometers north of Urigentala, the brigade headquarters reconnaissance company continued to monitor the Soviet movements after the main force withdrew."

"The battle started at 1:30 in the morning on September 21st. I would like to emphasize that if the battalion commander was so fond of fighting that the troops were entangled by the Soviet army, the other nearby assault troops would never be allowed to rescue them. According to the

Plan to break away from the battle. If the battalion commander and regimental commander come back by chance, prepare to go to court-martial. I won’t go into details if it’s too much. We are all veterans. We still have four and a half hours, so go back and prepare!”

The temporary camp of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade headquarters heard the sound of horse hooves, and soon became quiet again. Chief of Staff Tian Guangzhu looked at Zeng Shiqiang and said: "Brigadier Commander, how confident are we in this battle? The only thing I'm worried about is

If the troops are entangled by the Soviet army, it will be a lose-lose strategy for both parties!"

Zeng Shiqiang smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, old man. I've already checked the Soviet army's camping situation. I can't say enough about it. By the second half of the night, I guarantee you'll sleep like a dead pig."

The night wind in the late autumn of Outer Mongolia blew through the open grassland, bringing with it bursts of cold air. The wind became stronger and stronger, making the bushes whine. Uzhgentala, the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District

We're camping in a tent, and we're

Under the light, the two sentries huddled their necks, trying their best to resist the cold wind, and wandered around carelessly. In such weather, unless they were on guard duty, no one would suffer in the wilderness and would have already got into the tent.

Gone to sleep.

The commander of the army, Major General Sergeyev, was not sleepy at all, and his face was as ugly as a dead fish. He was half lying on a canvas marching chair, drinking strong vodka one after another. In the tent, there were only himself, the staff and the communications personnel.

, were all driven outside by the comrade, the military commander, who was in a bad mood.

Major General Sergeyev's bad mood came from the telegram he received in the evening. The telegram was personally sent by the commander of the military region, General Kulykin. He could not understand it and ordered the two men to run away on the soles of their feet.

The infantry division did not dare to waste any time, and walked exhaustingly to Uzhgentala, marching more than 80 kilometers. Why, Comrade Commander, still blamed himself for walking slowly?

It seemed that he was alluding to himself and deliberately delaying time. Major General Sergeyev was dissatisfied. He really wanted to tell General Kulykin face to face, "Why don't you come and try? Is this the way people walk?"

Except for bushes, there are hilly mountain roads with gravel. To be precise, there are no roads. Only after the Third Army passed by, there are roads. You sit in a comfortable office and there are cars everywhere, you don’t know

My problem?"

However, Major General Sergeyev did not dare. He knew in his heart that he was not well received in front of the commander of the military region, especially after what happened to Nikolayevsky and General Kulykin ate him.

With everything on his mind, he sighed, read the telegram again, and vaguely figured out something. Is he afraid that after arriving in Khovd, his position as army commander will be replaced by someone else?

Commander Sergeyev did not consider the factors of the ** Division troops. In his opinion, the ** Division troops were all on the Leng River line and were busy dealing with the main force commanded by General Kulykin and had no time to pay attention.

What I am worried about is how to reach Khovd within the specified time, so as not to be caught by the comrade commander of the military region. Even if he is dismissed, he must leave with dignity.

After downing the wine in the bottle in one gulp, Commander Sergeyev crawled onto the cot in a daze, and walked through the difficult journey with a lot of thoughts on his mind.

I don’t know how long it took, Commander Sergeyev seemed to hear thunder coming from the sky, and it seemed like the earth was shaking. It was a very strange feeling, like a dream but not a dream, but he couldn’t open his eyes. Suddenly,

A panicked voice woke him up from his sleepwalking state, "Commander, the enemy is attacking!"

Commander Sergeyev stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy for a while. He rubbed his eyes and saw clearly that it was his guard battalion commander. Before he could ask questions, outside the tent, there was not just the sound of horse hooves, but the sound of gunshots.

, the explosion of grenades and the shouts of soldiers were intertwined, echoing like a tide in the dark night, but the sounds were relatively far away.

Commander Sergeyev rushed out of the tent in a few steps. The awakened staff officers and guards followed the commander in a mess, looking towards the chaotic place. A few kilometers away, there was already a battle.

A pot of porridge.

The flames of mortar shells and grenades exploded in clusters, and the bullets dragged dark red trajectories, flying in the night sky. Moreover, the sound of gunfire was dense and frightening, as if thousands of automatic weapons were firing in salvos.

Similar to the roar of a violent wind, one after another speeding figures appeared and disappeared in the shining light of the fire.

I don't know what was ignited, and a raging fire broke out. From time to time, more violent explosions were heard. Commander Sergeyev roared: "Staff! Which division's camp is that?"
