Age of Conquest Reborn

Just when Stalin was distressed because of the annihilation of the Transcaucasian Military Region troops, and when the Far Eastern Front troops were being chased and beaten by Liu Tiehan's East Command troops, Shihou was worried and hesitant, at around ten o'clock in the morning on October 1st , a telegram sent from the Northern Outer Mongolia Campaign Headquarters, signed Tang Qiuli, flew to Liu Tiehan's headquarters.

"Brother Iron Man, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District troops ended at about 8 o'clock this morning. The Supreme Commander of the Soviet Army, General Kulykin, and the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Zernenko, and more than 40,000 Soviet soldiers surrendered. , War in northern Outer Mongolia ww." "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!. There is no longer the battlefield of 9 Yao Brothers, you can just let it go,?ahref='/txt/609/5581390/'>Full It would be appropriate to annihilate this Soviet army west of the Onen River and along the Nerchinsk line."

"In this way, it can be ensured that the East Point can capture Chita and other places and the battle in the pocket without interference. After this battle is over, the Soviets will be severely beaten, and the Outer Mongolia region can be guaranteed to be war-free for ten years. It is also Outer Mongolia. The people of this area are so lucky!”

Soon, Liu Tiehan's reply came, "I am pleased with the great victory in the northern battlefield. I am overjoyed. It also boosts the morale of all my soldiers in the Eastern Command. It's embarrassing to say that I thought I could end the battle before the division commander did, but God failed. The whole army is lagging behind again, and I feel a little embarrassed. The Soviet troops I pursued and annihilated were quite powerful in combat. I don’t dare to be careless. I will work step by step and gradually wear out the battle. The battle is expected to end in five days. At that time, I will report the results. !”

Looking at Liu Tiehan's call back, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, look at Deputy Commander Liu's call back. Why do I smell a sour smell? Call him back and let it simmer." , don’t be impatient, don’t be impatient, the water will come naturally, gradually consumed, I look forward to Cullen’s talk!”

The smoke on the northern battlefield of Outer Mongolia has cleared, but fierce fighting is still going on on the eastern battlefield. Originally, according to Liu Tiehan's intention, after two days of continuous consumption of the Soviet army, the troops launched an all-out attack to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation. But now it seems that, I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve.

The troops of the Soviet Far East Front are indeed an elite division that fought against the Japanese Kwantung Army for two or three years under the training of the famous Soviet general Zhukov. During the battle, the psychological quality of the soldiers is extremely stable. Except for the initial blow when they are suddenly attacked, After being confused for a while, they quickly adjusted their positions. Under the command of Lieutenant General Yemenchenko, the Soviet troops of the three armies huddled together like hedgehogs with their spines spread out.

Ignoring the East Point troops that rushed up from time to time on both wings, they retreated quickly without hesitation. As a result, Liu Tiehan's flanking troops on both sides were hard to swallow. In addition to using intensive artillery fire, they tried to kill and injure the Soviet troops as much as possible. In addition, after several deep assaults with heavy casualties, the infantry did not dare to attack the retreating Soviet troops too deeply. Fortunately, the Soviet troops were still under attack from three sides, and the East Point troops still had the initiative to occupy the battlefield.

Liu Tiehan didn't have a good solution to this problem. If the Soviet army of more than 130,000 troops of the three armies were to be forcibly encircled, it would not be impossible. However, the troops at hand, except for Chen Guozhu's 10th Brigade and the 10th Brigade of Chen Guozhu who blocked the gap, were not impossible. In addition to He Zhuguo's mixed cavalry brigades, there were only seven brigades with about 110,000 people left. Originally, the enemy was fighting with fewer troops. Even if the Soviet army was surrounded, the battle would be quite fierce, and the casualties of the troops would not be small.

What's more, Liu Tiehan believed that this Soviet army had not yet been exhausted to the point of exhaustion. Therefore, his orders to the flanking troops and the pursuit troops were still four words: "Exhausted, exhausted!"

To the area where the 10th Brigade and the Cavalry Mixed Brigade set up their ambush, along the Onen River, there was still more than a hundred kilometers to go. Under the constant entanglement and struggle of the Soviet troops, the Soviet army would not be able to reach there for four to five days.

Liu Tiehan was confident that if he could eat another 30,000 to 50,000 Soviet troops and change the balance of forces on the battlefield, the next battle would be easier to fight.

Looking away from the military map, Liu Tiehan said with regret to Colonel Li Guangjin, the director of the East Point Operations Division: "Oh, we still don't have enough troops. Otherwise, we will be surrounded on the spot and I won't even think about leaving. In the beginning,

, if we follow the division commander's advice and transfer five or six brigades from the Niangziguan garrison, and the strength exceeds the Soviet army by more than one-third, then we will be in trouble today! Just encircle and fight, and I am too confident!"

Colonel Li Guangjin thought for a moment and said puzzledly: "Deputy division commander, I don't understand. Since the strength of our troops has just met the requirements of the campaign, for your sake, you have also mobilized Wan Fulin's 7th Brigade from the frontal pursuit troops.

, Chang Enduo's Eighth Brigade made a long-distance attack on Chita. After the battle to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army was over, wouldn't it be more powerful? It wouldn't be a problem to mobilize five or six brigades, let alone two brigades!

"

Liu Tiehan shook his head and said: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. It is safe to eat the Soviet army in front of you first, and then capture Chita. However, have you ever thought about meiyou that the area south of Chita is the only place for the Soviet army to retreat?

, in order to rescue this Soviet army, if the Soviets transfer troops from the Far East Front again to support them near Chita, Chita will become a place where heavy troops are hoarded, and it will be difficult to fight. This is not meiyou's keneng."

"The division commander commanded the corps directly under his command and ate up more than 300,000 troops in the Transcaucasus Military District. How could Stalin watch helplessly and let us eat another 100,000 people? Moreover, I have a deeper consideration.

In case Chen Guo

Zhu's 10th Brigade, a mixed cavalry brigade of He Zhuguo, was still on a front line at the Onen River. It could not stop more than 100,000 Soviet troops and was forced to flee by the Soviet army. The Seventh and Eighth Brigades were in the area south of Chita

, there is a second blocking line, are you prepared for any danger!"

Li Guangjin's face darkened and he said: "Deputy Commander, do you think we can't block the Soviet army's retreat?"

Liu Tiehan looked into the distance, and then said after a while: "I believe in Chen Guozhu and He Zhuguo, and I also believe in the combat effectiveness of the 10th Brigade and the Cavalry Mixed Brigade. However, it was a bijing and a blockade with a disparity in strength. There were more than 36,000

There is a huge difference in the strength of the 100,000 Soviet troops who are eager to seize the road and flee. If we can withstand the arrival of our main force, we will suffer heavy casualties!"

In the next few days of fighting, Liu Tiehan commanded the troops of the seven brigades of the East Point, and used all his strength to hold back the Soviet troops and beat them hard, without giving the Soviet troops a chance to breathe. On the grasslands of eastern Outer Mongolia, all day long,

There was continuous artillery fire, constant gunshots, and smoke filled the air. The Soviet army forced its troops to use men to create a bloody alley and seize the road to retreat eastward.

Walking all the way, fighting all the way, the bloody battle continued for three days and three nights. By October 3, the three armies commanded by Yemenchenko had less than 100,000 people left. Moreover, they were retreating rapidly and suffered repeated blows.

On the way, all the tanks, artillery, and vehicles were lost. At this point, the pursuing East Point troops were exhausted, and the Soviet troops bent on retreating were even more embarrassed, suffering heavy casualties, and were on the verge of collapse in physical strength and energy.

During this period, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko requested the headquarters to order Zhukov's Far Eastern Front to send no less than 100,000 troops from three armies to march eastward to the Chita line to respond.

Ziji's troops retreated.

However, the response from the headquarters was without exception, and the Chief of General Staff, Marshal Petroshilov, also clearly told him, "In view of the fact that the Japanese Kwantung Army on the front line of the Outer Khingan Mountains has signs of large-scale military operations

, the Far East Front Army has entered a state of full war preparation and cannot mobilize any troops to meet you. Therefore, we can only rely on our own strength to retreat as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by independent division troops! "

In the telegram, the General Staff never revealed any information about the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District. Obviously, this was Stalin's instruction, and information was strictly blocked on Lieutenant General Yemenchenko's troops to avoid damaging military morale.

After reading the last call back from the General Staff, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko finally gave up. Don’t expect anyone to come to save Ziji. In fact, Lieutenant General Yemenchenko did not even know that the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District were on the battlefield in northern Outer Mongolia.

Go up, the news of the annihilation of the Yijing army, otherwise, if you let out the sigh of relief in your heart, and be beaten black and blue by the troops of the East Point, maybe you will follow the example of General Kulykin and simply lead the troops to surrender!

On the afternoon of October 5, the Soviet Far East Front troops, reduced to just over 80,000 people, finally arrived near the west bank of the Onen River.

Lieutenant General Yemenchenko almost shed tears when he saw the crooked white line appearing in the distance on the vast grassland with the north wind whistling against the backdrop of the dry grass. The nightmare-like seven days and nights left him haunted.

The independent division troops were like bone-gnawing maggots, biting and refusing to let go, almost draining the blood of the troops. The four armies had nearly 180,000 troops, and more than 100,000 people were lost. Many divisions were beaten to nothing.

.

After crossing the Onen River, we can get rid of the endless pursuit of the independent division troops. Moreover, we can also use this river to establish a blocking line to give the main force a breather and win some troops. "Order the troops not to stop and cross quickly."

After crossing the Onen River, the Fifth Army established a blocking position on the east bank to cover other troops crossing the river! You must cross the bridge, and all officers and soldiers starting from me will wade across the river!" Lieutenant General Yemenchenko ordered without hesitation.

road.

A colonel staff officer reminded: "Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, the telegram from the headquarters reminded us to be careful to guard against the independent division troops. Is there an ambush on the east bank of the Onen River? For the sake of the safety of the troops, should we send a small force?

Forces, make tentative moves? The rest of the troops will wait until the situation is determined before crossing the river? "

"Boom! Boom! Boom...!" The sound of distant artillery came. "Damn the Chinese, they came up so quickly," Lieutenant General Yemenchenko muttered.

Then, staring at his eyes that were dull and full of red bloodshot eyes due to lack of rest, he roared: "Stupid! The Chinese who are chasing after us, give us a shijian? Listen, the sound of the cannon is far away from our current weizhi, at most

It's only about twenty kilometers away, even if there is an ambush from the Independent Division in front of us, we still have to rush over!"

More than 80,000 Soviet soldiers surged toward the banks of the Onen River like a turbid tide.
