Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st Brigade of the **Division's Directly Affiliated Corps, took over the post of commander-in-chief of the Selenge River Frontline Command. The first military meeting held was very short. He deployed counterattack missions and arranged the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Force.

The troops did not participate in this counterattack and evacuated their forward positions to rest and recuperate on the front line of Luanshi Mountain.

Liu Hongzhang believes that this is a matter of course and not complicated. The troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard fought for two days in a row. The consumption of the troops was very high. He did this out of practical considerations. Of course, he had to take care of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard.

The meaning of military force.

However, the response of the brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard greatly exceeded his expectations. Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, was the first to stand up, trying his best to suppress his excitement and said: "

Commander-in-Chief Liu, this is your first time commanding the troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guards. I should obey your orders unconditionally. However, on this position, my brigade suffered casualties of more than 5,000 soldiers, and they fell in front of me.

"

"I once swore to the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade that unless the battle required it and I did not receive the order from the division commander, the first brigade would die on the south bank position even if it was down to the last man. Now, you have arranged

We evacuated our position and hid in the Rocky Mountains. I couldn’t figure out whether it was our Outer Mongolian border guards who had no strength to fight anymore or some other reason.

soldiers and officers!”

After Wang Qingshan's reply, other brigade commanders and regimental commanders also spoke one after another, "Commander Liu, what Brigadier Wang said makes sense. After two days of fierce fighting, our troops survived. All are jinggyàn.

If the rich soldiers and officers cannot participate in this counterattack, it will chill their hearts and weaken the morale of the troops. Please reconsider the combat deployment. Our troops are determined to participate in the counterattack!"

Liu Hongzhang did not expect that his seemingly reasonable and realistic combat deployment would trigger such a violent reaction among the generals of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard. As if asking for help, he looked at Major General Ouyang Yishan, the commander of the Second Brigade.

.

Ouyang Yishan stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone has misunderstood what Commander-in-Chief Liu meant. He did not exclude the Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops who fought bloody battles for two days from the battle. He only considered it based on the actual situation. Your

The troops indeed need to withdraw to the rear to rest and recuperate. The division commander’s telegram also clearly pointed out that we still have to hold off the Soviet army on the Selenge River line for four days. The battle has to be fought, and the rest and recuperation is also for fighting again!”

Wang Qingshan stood up again and said: "Deputy Commander Ouyang, I understand Commander Liu's good intentions and have no intention of disobeying orders. However, on behalf of all the troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard on the front line of the Selenge River, I request the two parties to

The commander-in-chief has approved that our troops will participate in the counterattack in the early morning! If we don't fight this battle, we will have no shame to see Commander Sun again!"

Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan looked at each other, and both of them understood that in terms of combat skills, soldiers' training level, and weapons and equipment, the Outer Mongolia Border Guards were indeed inferior to any brigade directly under the Corps, but judging from their performance

In terms of morale, the results of the two days showed traces of the main field troops, or in other words, they were bloody. The two exchanged opinions in a low voice.

Liu Hongzhang stood up and said loudly: "Well, he is indeed a subordinate of Commander Sun. He is so ruthless. I, Liu Hongzhang, admire him. I discussed it with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Ouyang and decided that the four troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army

Each infantry brigade will detach a reinforced regiment of troops and assign them to our two brigades to participate in the counterattack that will be held early tomorrow morning. The rest of the troops will hold their positions and respond to the withdrawal of the counterattack troops!"

The brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army immediately became happy. Wang Qingshan said a little embarrassedly: "Commander Liu, I'm sorry. I fired the first shot, and I spoke uncontrollably, disrupting your battle."

Deployment, but don’t worry, after the battle begins, I, Wang Qingshan, promise to obey the orders and obey the command!"

Liu Hongzhang pointed at Wang Qingshan helplessly and said: "You madman Wang, I know you are a restless master. Okay, let each brigade make arrangements and send which regiment to participate in the battle?"

The venue immediately became lively. Each group leader showed off the advantages of his group and became red-faced. Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan could only smile bitterly. They were not able to intervene at all and were not familiar with the situation. However, they still liked it very much.

kind of atmosphere, put it in your own troops, and each

When they were fighting for the main attack mission for the first time, didn't several regiment commanders almost fight against each other? At the combat meeting of the directly affiliated regiments, Liu Hongzhang himself was the unyielding leader and had a louder voice than anyone else. Only the Fourth Brigade

The brigade commander, Major General Chu Ziye, can compete with me!

After arguing for more than ten minutes, the four regiments participating in the battle were arranged. However, the regiment commanders who finally got the mission became depressed immediately. The brigade commander took the role of regiment leader without hesitation. As the regiment leader, he could only

Be able to be the deputy even if you feel wronged!

By the time the meeting ended, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening on September 21. The Outer Mongolia Border Guard troops were preparing in an orderly manner. The troops of the first and second brigade of the directly affiliated corps quietly followed the traffic trenches.

The Soviet troops on the river beach and the north bank were not aware of all this when their movement reached the forward position. They had no idea that more than 30,000 tigers were coming in the dark night!

Liu Hongzhang's brigade headquarters and Ouyang Yishan's brigade headquarters were combined into one to form the battle frontline headquarters. Immediately, Liu Hongzhang reported the Selenge River frontline, today's battle situation, the losses of the Outer Mongolia border defense forces, and plans for tomorrow.

The battle plan for counterattacking the Soviet army in the early morning was reported to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

Cullen, at around nine o'clock in the evening on September 21, Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division, had just returned to the temporary headquarters from the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Field Hospital. To be honest, Tang Qiuli was in a very bad mood, sitting in the car

Go up and say nothing.

Just now in the hospital, Liu Cuigang stayed at the door of the operating room for several hours until the operation was over. After listening to the attending doctor's introduction to the injury, he returned to the headquarters. It was precisely because of the doctor's words that he was in an extremely bad mood.

It was a surgeon who was in his sixties and had a lot of experience, with the rank of major general medical officer. He told Tang Qiuli, "Commander, from a doctor's point of view, Commander Liu's injury is not optimistic. The large-caliber airborne machine gun bullets

, very lethal. After penetrating the right shoulder, it destroyed the nervous system and shattered the bones. Moreover, the wounded person lost too much blood and was already in a dying state. Although a blood transfusion was performed in time, when did he wake up?

It depends on his own vitality!"

Tang Qiuli's eyesight went dark, he shook his head, tried to calm down, and asked as calmly as possible: "Doctor, I need to know whether Liu Cuigang's life can be saved?"

The gray-haired major general doctor pondered for a moment and replied: "Commander, we have tried our best. Judging from the current vital signs of the wounded, they are relatively stable and the possibility of recovery is very high. However, the sequelae will be unavoidable.

Regarding the matter, Commander, please rest assured that our hospital will do its best to ensure Commander Liu’s life!”

Tang Qiuli felt relieved and asked: "Doctor, what is the most serious sequelae?"

The major general doctor replied: "If the wound is infected, the limb must be amputated. Otherwise, the life of the casualty will be endangered. Even if there is no infection, the normal activities of the wounded right arm will be greatly affected. In other words

, after the wounded person fully recovers, the normal function of his right arm will not be guaranteed, and it will be equal to semi-disability!"

Tang Qiuli's ears were buzzing like thousands of bees. He could hardly hear what the military doctor said behind him. In his mind, there were only three words "semi-crippled".

Tang Qiuli knew that Liu Cuigang, who loved flying and regarded the blue sky as an indispensable part of his life, would be hit hard once he lost the qualifications and ability to fly into the sky, fly fighter planes, and soar into the blue sky.

How old is it? To put it bluntly, two-thirds of his life has been lost. The surviving Liu Cuigang is almost a walking corpse. When he wakes up, how can he accept this cruel reality?

Based on his understanding of Liu Cuigang, who had a strong personality, and even Liu Cuigang would choose to commit suicide, Tang Qiuli suddenly shuddered, woke up, and hurriedly said to the doctor: "As a division commander, I ordered the field hospital to carry out secondary treatment on the wounded.

Fourteen hours of monitoring, doctors and nurses must be in the ward continuously, and all weapons are not allowed in the ward. In addition, I will leave eight special guards here to stay. Once the wounded wakes up, they will be dispatched as soon as possible.

Notify me!"

Tang Qiuli left the field hospital with a heavy heart. Eight special guards arranged by Shanhu stayed in the ward in shifts. In the past, Tang Qiuli was optimistic about Liu Cuigang's injury.

When I was on the airport runway, anxiously looking up at the northern sky, I made various guesses about Liu Cuigang's injury. When Liu Cuigang's fighter plane appeared staggeringly in the sunny sky with thick smoke.

Tang Qiuli was heartbroken when he got on. The fighter plane aimed at the runway and landed. Although its movements were deformed, it still touched the ground safely. After gliding for a certain distance, it stopped crookedly on the lawn of the runway.

The stopped fighter jets were still puffing out thick smoke. Ambulances and fire trucks, blaring their sirens, were speeding past. Tang Qiuli also jumped on the jeep and rushed towards the fighter jets together.

When several ground staff and doctors struggled to open the nearly broken cockpit cover of the fighter jet, and lifted Liu Cuigang, who was soaked in blood, out of the cabin and put him on a stretcher, Tang Qiuli's jeep also rushed towards him.

When he arrived in front of him, he saw at a glance that Liu Cuigang's right arm was bloody and bloody, and he could even see the white bone stubble.
