Age of Conquest Reborn

On the first line of defense outside Minusinsk, Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the first brigade of the directly affiliated corps, and Major General Ouyang Yishan, commander of the second brigade, reached an agreement. The two brigades advanced and retreated together and evacuated immediately.

When it became impossible, it was decided to once again block the attack of Soviet tanks and infantry. In fact, doing so violated the original plan of the division commander Tang Qiuli for the battle.

Moreover, Liu Hongzhang had a bolder idea. He met with the brigade chief of staff Liu Chenglin. After giving the order, he turned around, rubbed the stubble on his chin with his hand, and said with gleaming eyes: "Chenglin, order all frontiers to

After the regiment and the anti-tank company opened fire, the mortars immediately cut off the offensive route of the Soviet follow-up troops and created a wall of fire for me. After destroying the Soviet tanks, I still have big moves to make!"

Liu Chenglin was startled. He knew his boss very well. He was so bold in fighting. The big move he was talking about must be young. He hurriedly said: "Brigadier, with the current tactics, it is the safest way. You

We can’t take any more risks!”

Liu Hongzhang smiled "hehe" and picked up the phone again, "Commander Ouyang? Yes, it's me. Okay, I want to go with our old Liu. Yes, the entire anti-tank company of the brigade will kill Lao Maozi's tanks."

Mortars cut off the offensive route of the Soviet follow-up troops, what? That’s it!”

"I said, brother, you are too conservative in the war! Once Lao Maozi's tanks are finished, they are like toothless tigers. It's not like you haven't seen them. They didn't even move the artillery. I guess they didn't follow up. This

It's just an opportunity. What I mean is, how about our two brigades join hands and launch a full-line counterattack? Only then can we retreat to the second line of defense, so as not to let the old man chase us and beat us!"

Ouyang Yishan jumped in fright and said hurriedly: "Brigadier Liu, this is too risky. Our combined strength is less than 40,000. How many Soviet troops are there opposite us? A whole group army, fifteen or six

Tens of thousands of troops, if the troops rush out, they are likely to be entangled. When the time comes, they won’t be able to take them back even if they want to, no! No! I advise you, give up this idea as soon as possible, it is not a sure battle!"

Ouyang Yishan shook his head repeatedly, as if Liu Hongzhang was right in front of him. He put down the phone and said to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Jia Lianhai: "This Brigadier Liu is really adventurous. If there were only 80,000 Soviet troops on the opposite side, I would be afraid."

Dare to launch a counter-assault, but that is a total of 150,000 to 60,000 people. The strength ratio of four to one is impossible to defeat. Not only will it not be able to repel the Soviet army, it will also trap the troops!"

Chief of Staff Jia Lianhai was worried about another issue, "Brigadier Commander, I'm worried that Brigadier Liu will abandon our Second Brigade and attack the Soviet army alone. That would be more dangerous!" he said.

Ouyang Yishan shook his head and said: "No, Brigadier Liu is a veteran in fighting. No matter how belligerent he is, he cannot counterattack hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops with a brigade of less than 20,000 troops, unless he is confused!

"

After walking around the headquarters for a few times, Ouyang Yishan was really worried about Liu Hongzhang. That guy who acted like a madman when he heard the sound of gunfire would never do such a risky thing. Think about it, he

Picked up the phone and said, "I'm Ouyang Yishan, commander of the second brigade, pick up the division commander for me!"

Ouyang Yishan's worry was really not unnecessary. He put down the phone and Liu Hongzhang said with some contempt: "Tch! With this little courage, it's not the entire Soviet army that fought back, but the part that was cut off by mortar fire.

, at best there are 50,000 to 60,000 people. It’s a great opportunity. Why doesn’t the second brigade dare to do it? Our first brigade will do it alone. Cheng Lin, convey my order. The whole brigade is ready for counter-attack. With the order from the brigade headquarters, everything will be done.

Rush up to me!"

Colonel Liu Chenglin, chief of staff of the brigade, turned pale. He frowned and shouted: "Brigade commander, this is absolutely not possible. Even if the second brigade joins us in counterattack, it would be too risky. Besides, it is already dark for us.

After repelling this Soviet attack, it is very easy to evacuate the first line of defense. I cannot carry out your order!"

Liu Hongzhang's expression changed and he said angrily: "Okay Liu Chenglin, learn to disobey me. Believe it or not, I will withdraw you!"

Liu Chenglin wanted to dissuade him. At this time, the Soviet tanks were covering the infantry and had already entered the range of anti-tank weapons. Suddenly, the position of the force-reading division was suddenly activated, and ballistic paths cut through the hazy twilight.

Rocket grenade shells, recoilless artillery shells, and anti-tank gun bullets, trailing dark red tail flames, instantly passed a distance of several hundred meters and penetrated into the Soviet tank. The hot metal jet exploded violently in the tank cabin.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!——!" A violent explosion reverberated in the air. Hundreds of Soviet tanks emitted billowing smoke and dark red flames. Then, the ammunition inside exploded even more violently.

An explosion erupted inside the tank. Balls of fireballs flashed one after another. The tank turret flew into the air, the tracks broke, and the vehicle body tilted.

The Soviet infantry following the tank was exposed to the range of the infantry weapons of the reading division. Mortar shells, like black storks, hit the heads of the Soviet soldiers in groups, and the light and heavy machine guns also began to roar.

Standing up, a dense barrage of bullets hit the Soviet soldiers head-on, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

In just twenty minutes, the entire Soviet offensive was contained. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the remaining Soviet tanks immediately turned around and the Soviet soldiers retreated like a tide.

Minusinsk, the frontline headquarters of the Reading Division, Tang Qiuli looked at his watch, frowned, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, the battle on the first line of defense has started for more than an hour.

, why haven’t the first and second brigades been withdrawn yet?”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "The situation is like this. After the 1st and 2nd brigades unexpectedly punched the Soviet army, the Soviet commander reacted quickly and immediately used tanks to cover the infantry and pressed forward across the board. Our troops

We can’t break away for the time being, so we can only continue fighting!”

Tang Qiuli was very puzzled and asked: "After a surprise attack, the Soviet army did not use artillery fire, but instead used tanks and infantry. It is unreasonable! I ordered the first and second brigades to quickly evacuate the first line of defense.

, also taking into account the lethality of Soviet artillery fire. According to the size of a Soviet field army, there must be at least an artillery corps, which is more than a thousand heavy artillery!"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "The frontline troops reported that the Soviet army did not use artillery fire!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiuli frowned in confusion, "Yuhe, what do you think is the reason?" he asked.

Zhao Yuhe replied affirmatively: "Because the Soviet army did not stop after crossing the Ural Mountains and marched rapidly day and night. The Soviet artillery force should lag behind the infantry and armored forces. Our reconnaissance force also confirmed this, probably

About fifty kilometers behind."

Tang Qiuli's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Where are the troops on the left and right wings now?"

"An hour ago, we received reports from the 3rd and 4th brigades. We are still 30 kilometers away from Balekcha. We will reach the designated location in an hour and a half. We received reports from the 5th and 6th brigades.

, there is still more than 40 kilometers away from Inia, and you can reach it within two hours!" Zhao Yuhe replied succinctly.

Tang Qiuli said excitedly: "Yu He, immediately order the 3rd and 4th brigades on the left and the 5th and 6th brigades on the right to detach a regiment of troops each and command them under the command of Qu Zhennian, the chief of staff of the 3rd brigade, to surround and mobilize."

To kill the Soviet artillery unit, in the order, it must be emphasized that the second step is to destroy the Soviet artillery. The main thing is to destroy the Soviet artillery. All artillery must be blown up on the spot!"

"Without the artillery, our battle will be much easier! Opportunities will come to you!"

Zhao Yuhe immediately handed over the order to the communications staff, "Yuhe, order Liu Hongzhang and Ouyang Yishan to stop when enough is enough. Don't even think about using two brigades to block a Soviet group army. Take advantage of the night to withdraw from the battle immediately. If

I haven’t had enough fighting yet, so on the second line of defense, give them a chance to fight hard!”

Zhao Yuhe's hand reached for a red phone on the table. Before he could pick it up, "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!" the phone rang rapidly, and he picked up the phone: "I'm the teacher, the teacher is here!"

Zhao Yuhe covered the phone with his hand and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, Commander Ouyang of the Second Brigade called you and said he has an important report!"

"Oh?" Tang Qiuli answered the phone in confusion. This Ouyang Yishan was the most honest among the dozen brigade commanders of the directly affiliated corps. He didn't talk much during military meetings, but he had a clear mind.

, he knows it well and is a show-off person. If he takes the initiative to call, it is definitely not a trivial matter!

"Ouyang Yishan, I'm Tang Qiuli, tell me what's going on!" "Well, I did the right thing by taking advantage of the opportunity, what? Repeat it again! You fool! Stupid! I think he doesn't want his head anymore!"

Tang Qiuli, who was listening to the phone, suddenly roared angrily.

Zhao Yuhe, who was standing aside, saw that the teacher's face was getting more and more ugly. First it turned red, then purple, and there was a black line on his forehead. "Bang!" Tang Qiuli put down the phone.

Then, he angrily picked up another red phone and said, "I'm Tang Qiuli, pick up Liu Hongzhang for me!"

Zhao Yuhe understood. It must be Brigadier Liu Hongzhang and Liu Da, who was known as "Liu Daer'er". He was trying to trick someone again, which made the division commander furious, but he didn't hear the specific content and didn't know.

What I can advise is that you can only pay attention to the development of things.

At this time, in the first brigade headquarters, the veins on Liu Hongzhang's forehead were popping up. He was shouting at Chief of Staff Liu Chenglin, who was holding the phone tightly and refusing to let him issue orders, "Liu Chenglin,

I'm warning you, you've delayed your opportunity to fight, but don't say I'm unkind, just get out of my way!"

Liu Hongzhang was really angry. Seeing the Soviet army retreating, now was the opportunity. The whole brigade attacked, beat the Soviet army's ass, and then withdrew to the second line of defense. But Liu Chenglin, who was so stubborn,

He was not allowed to give the order to attack. If his old brother hadn't known what he was like, I could have shot him!
