Age of Conquest Reborn

Checherleg in northern Outer Mongolia, around 5 o'clock in the afternoon on September 27, the fourth attack of the Fifth Mechanized Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region was repelled again. The bodies of Soviet soldiers were lying on the ground.

On the battlefield, wounded soldiers were being treated and howling in pain. The smoke on the battlefield drifted away, revealing the bloody sun setting in the west. The air was filled with a burnt and pungent smell of blood.

Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the Independent Division's East Command, rushed into the battle headquarters with the smell of gunpowder smoke all over his body, grabbed the kettle on the box, drank a hearty swig, wiped his mouth, and faced the division commander Tang Qiuli

Said: "Commander, the fighting is not enough. We have left our four artillery brigades alone. Artillery Commander Zheng Yong's phone calls have been made to the forward command post. Not to mention, the Soviet Fifth Army's combat effectiveness is strong enough."

, the equipment is not bad either.”

"To attack our regiment's position, we are willing to dispatch more than fifty tanks at once. This is a big deal. However, our rocket launchers and recoil rifles have turned all the Soviet tanks into a pile of scrap metal. Division Commander, Zheng Yong is commanding

The officer asked me to ask you, when will the artillery be sent in? Several artillery groups are ready!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Yang Ketian, who had stayed in Dongzhi for more than a year, and his personality had become much more cheerful and confident. Looking at his high-spirited demeanor, he was secretly happy. Yang Ketian gradually grew from a staff officer to a responsible person.

Commander, the changes have been amazing. It was right to place him next to Liu Tiehan in the first place.

He was happy in his heart, but on the surface he said coldly: "You don't need to say anything, what do you think? Let Zheng Yong tell me directly, why don't you understand. Just caring about your own pain, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region,

There is no action yet, we are going to fight hard here, what will happen if Kulykin doesn’t move?"

Yang Ketian shrank his neck and said embarrassedly: "Commander, I just said this casually, we have deployed four brigades at the front. Didn't we use light and heavy machine guns and mortars to repel four Soviet attacks?"

, don’t think too much about it!”

Tang Qiuli smiled and was about to speak when the phone on the box rang. He shook his head, picked up the phone and asked, "I am the master, where are you?"

"Division commander, I am the artillery commander Zheng Yong. I want to talk to the division commander!" On the other end of the phone, Major General Zheng Yong, the artillery commander of the independent division, said in a loud and rough voice.

Tang Qiuli burst into laughter and said: "I am Tang Qiuli, Zheng Yong, is there anything important that you are so angry about?"

Zheng Yong on the other end of the phone stuck out his tongue. His tone immediately dropped an octave, "Division Commander. Several artillery group commanders have entrusted me to ask for your instructions. The battle has been going on for more than three hours. The artillery is ready and can be used at any time."

Fire! Don’t worry, I guarantee that the first salvo will blast Lao Maozi’s artillery and tanks into the sky! The infantry will rush up and clean up the battlefield!”

Tang Qiuli's tone suddenly increased and he said: "Zheng Yong, don't beat around the bush, what the other artillery group commanders mean, I think it's your own meaning. Why, you can't sit on the bench? I'll repeat it again,

The battle is yours, wait for orders, if you are still anxious, come to the division command, I am short of an artillery staff officer!"

Zheng Yong was so frightened that he grinned and said hurriedly: "Division Commander, the artillerymen resolutely carry out the orders of the division headquarters and wait patiently. Division Commander, do you have any other instructions? I will give up without you!"

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead and angrily said to several artillery brigade commanders who were looking at him eagerly: "It was a bad idea to ask for a fight, and I was almost scolded by the division commander.

My son was transferred to the division commander as artillery liaison staff. We have been following the division commander for only a year or two, and we still don’t know the division commander’s temper. Come on, let’s all go back to our respective artillery groups!”

Several artillery brigade commanders asked unwillingly: "I said Commander Zheng, what did the division commander say?"

Zheng Yong glanced sideways at several brigade commanders, but shouted in a loud voice: "Wait for the order!"

The commander of the Independent Division Armored Forces Command, Major General Battelle, was receiving a call from Major General Hao Mengting, commander of the 4th Tank Brigade, "Commander Hao, I have said it again, without an order from the division commander, our task is to hide ourselves and wait.

Order! No, any action without the division commander’s order is against battlefield discipline and must be carried out strictly in accordance with the battle plan!”

Putting down the phone, Battelle smiled bitterly and said to the chief of staff, Colonel Xu Rong: "Rong, our commander, you still can't keep calm. When I was in the First Armored Group of the German Army, I always obeyed the orders of my superiors. I have always obeyed.

I dare not ask why, but the German army’s strict military discipline, strict hierarchy, and ancient martial tradition are still worthy of praise, and we need to learn a lot from them!”

Xu Rong said with a smile: "Commander, the eagerness of the brigade commanders is understandable. Are they eager to fight? Especially when they heard that the fighting on the front line was so lively, and the Soviet army also dispatched a large number of tanks to attack our positions, everyone felt in their hearts

It’s not like a cat scratching you, it’s the excitement of meeting your opponent, this kind of emotion is rare!”

When Battle thought that Xu Rong's words made sense, he smiled and said: "Actually, when I heard the gunfire on the front line, I was more anxious than they were. However, I know the division commander and I object most to anything that does not follow the planned battle plan.

, let’s wait for the order to attack!”

Putting down Zheng Yong's phone, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Call all the brigade commanders and commanders of the troops hidden on the second line again. They must stay calm and don't be impetuous. And

, don’t use your own ideas to interfere with the command of the division commander! If the brigade commander or commander can’t calm down, come to me and I will let him calm down!”

Zhao Yuhe pursed his lips and smiled, but did not move. Tang Qiuli was about to ask him why. Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard and deputy chief of staff of the campaign headquarters, hurriedly came in and said, "Report to the division commander, take the next step."

According to the report from the reconnaissance force, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District has moved, and it is heading south in full force!"

Tang Qiuli raised his thick eyebrows, became energetic, and asked: "Chief of Staff Wang, please tell me the specific situation. When did the main force of the Soviet army leave the south bank of the Selenge River? What is the speed of the march and its current position?"

Wang Jun replied: "According to intelligence, the main force of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region moved south around five o'clock this afternoon, at the speed of a mechanized rapid march. It is now around six o'clock in the evening, and the location should be somewhere near Checherleg."

Huqilting Aben area in the north."

After a pause, Wang Jun continued: "According to the Soviet army's current marching speed, if it marches south day and night, its main force will reach Hagen Gol at around four o'clock in the morning on September 28.

The Baiyinchagan area is much better than when we originally planned to launch the battle.

time, nearly an hour and a half early, division commander, this will have a great impact on our battle plan, and the Soviet army's march is very long. I am afraid that when the outposts are fired, the Soviet rearguard troops

, still outside the ambush circle," Wang Jun said without worry.

Tang Qiuli frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It doesn't matter, as long as the Soviet army comes, the front troops will be on the Checheerlege line for an extra hour and a half, so that the Soviet army can gather together again.

The deployment of the outflanking troops remains unchanged, and the time for launching the battle remains unchanged. Chief of Staff Wang ordered the small force of the Soviet Fifth Army to flank and stop the harassment."

Then, he said to Yang Ketian who had not left yet: "Ketian, the pressure on your troops is a little greater. After all, you have to face 256,000 Soviet troops. Although they have been consumed by several battles, the strength of the troops is still very high."

The huge Checherlege front line is not as good as the natural barrier of the Selenge River. The fourth and fifth brigades of the directly affiliated corps hidden in the second line are also mobilized, and six brigades are deployed at the same time. It is enough. If necessary, we can

Fight back!"

Yang Ketian said nonchalantly: "Commander, no matter how many Soviet troops come, they will still be sparse, but can you let us use artillery and tanks?"

Tang Qiuli said simply: "Yes, but only one artillery brigade and one tank brigade are allowed to be used for counterattack!"

Yang Ketian muttered dissatisfied: "How stingy!" Tang Qiuli glared at him, scaring him so much that he quickly shut up.

Tang Qiuli then said to Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, after the battle started, the troops on both wings immediately began to compress the Soviet army's battlefield space. At the same time, he ordered Liu Chun's cavalry troops to pay attention to cutting off the Soviet army's logistics supply lines, and at the same time, blocking them.

Stay on your retreat!"

After deploying these, Tang Qiuli smiled and said to several people: "It's not easy. It took a lot of effort to get the old fox like Kurekin to take the bait. Our military strength is roughly the same as that of the Soviet army, and it belongs to Ketang.

There is no surplus at all, so

, told Liu Hongzhang of the East Road Attack Group that the bridges of the West Road Attack Group were full of mountains, and the attack on both wings should be fierce from the beginning, using all the firepower advantages to inflict maximum damage to the Soviet army! Change the situation between the enemy and us on the battlefield.

Comparison of military strength!"

Tang Qiuli called Yang Ketian over again and warned in detail: "Ketian, the tactics before and after the battle are different. Now we are showing the enemy weakness. After the formal attack begins, the troops in the front must use the most ferocious firepower."

, to push the Soviet army back, Battelle's tank unit will be responsible for the frontal assault! At that time, how many artillery pieces and how many guns do you have, open for use! How to attack the artillery, coordinate with Zheng Yong. "

Yang Ketian jumped up with joy and said excitedly: "Commander, I've been waiting for your words. Don't worry. Can the Soviet army withstand the six-brigade assault across the board? I'll rush to the artillery headquarters right away!" After that, he saluted.

Military salute, walking vigorously with the wind, and walked away happily.

Everyone went about their business, and the shelter suddenly became quiet. Tang Qiuli stood in front of the map, looked up at it for a while, walked to a phone, picked up the phone and said, "Switchboard, I'm the division commander Tang Qiu."

Li, pick me up Commander Le Yiqin of the Southern Aviation Group!"
