Age of Conquest Reborn

The battle situation turned around almost instantly. Intense gunfire rang out from three directions around the Soviet army. The Soviet troops that were attacking the opponent a few minutes ago became the target of attack.

The 43rd Group Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front was also considered an elite unit among the Soviet army. Although it was surrounded by three sides, it was panicked and not chaotic. Each army adopted the tactics of echelon cover. The third army, with its flesh and blood,

, trying to block the frontal attack of the independent division troops, the Second Army carried out ferocious counterattacks on both wings, while the First Army, where the group army headquarters was located, took the opportunity to quickly break through.

Ahead, in the fields with flashes of fire and loud gunfire, a column of Soviet tanks appeared. They lined up in a horizontal line and rushed over with a rumble. According to the order of the group army commander Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, the Soviet armored vehicles

The troops, the last remaining 300 or so tanks, were ordered to carry out a desperate counterattack.

In the independent division artillery headquarters, artillery commander Major General Zheng Yong was answering the phone. The call came from the forward artillery observation post. "What? Lao Maozi's tanks have appeared. How many are there?" Zheng Yong asked in a gruff voice.

.

"Commander, the number of Soviet tanks does not exceed three hundred. Currently, none of our tanks have entered the range of a firefight!"

"Okay, continue to observe and provide me with the coordinates of the Soviet tank column immediately!"

Zheng Yong rolled up his sleeves, picked up another phone, and looked up to the sky with a smile, "Hahaha! Food delivered to the door. Order, the left artillery group, immediately cover the Soviet tank column, use armor-piercing shells, the right artillery group,

Continue to bombard the Soviet positions, self-propelled artillery groups, cover tanks and infantry attacks, and keep up with the speed of the armored groups! It’s time for us to protect the safety of the tanks. What a good sign!"

Then Zheng Yong picked up a phone again and said, "The rocket launcher group, stop the shelling immediately! Well, you haven't had enough of it??? - What are you talking about? When your rocket launchers are covering the shelling area, the shelling area is a sea of ​​fire. Can you still pass by?"

Putting down the phone, Zheng Yong comfortably lit a cigarette, took a nice puff, and then leaned against the shell box, humming a tune and listening to the rumbling sound of the cannon. It was as beautiful as he wanted.

The staff officers in the headquarters couldn't help but smile.

Less than 300 Soviet tanks appeared in front of the tanks of the independent division. Major General Qiao Zhiliang, commander of the 3rd Tank Brigade who temporarily served as commander of the armored forces, immediately became energetic and shouted into the formation communication channel: "Brigade attention.

, Soviet tanks appeared, not many in number, obviously more wolves than meat, so all four of our brigades went up. It was not enough, so I ordered the third and fourth brigades to kill the Soviet tanks. The fifth and sixth brigades,

Continue to cover the infantry and assault the Soviet positions in depth!"

More than a thousand independent division tanks immediately divided into two parts. One part continued to attack and attack the Soviet positions deeply, while the other part rushed towards the Soviet tank column at full speed. However, before they could run a few kilometers, the sky

In the middle, there was a piercing scream, and countless large-caliber artillery shells swept through the night sky, flew overhead, and rained down on the Soviet tank formation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!——!" The earth shook and the mountains shook. Balls of dark red fire flooded the Soviet tanks. Immediately, more artillery shells flew over, blasting the area where the Soviet tanks counterattacked into a hell.

of terror.

The remaining armored units of the Soviet Army had the courage to fight back and the determination to fight to the death. However, in the face of the intensive artillery fire of the Independent Division, such a counterattack seemed so feeble. The Soviet tanks were not close to the range of the tank guns.

, was drowned by a shower of artillery shells falling like raindrops. On the wilderness, there were fireballs, and thick smoke, with dark red flames, rushed into the night sky.

Qiao Zhiliang almost went crazy. When he saw the fat on his lips, it was snatched away by the artillery in the blink of an eye. He immediately switched the communication channel to the artillery headquarters, "I am Qiao Zhiliang, the temporary commander of the armored forces, looking for you, Commander Zheng."

The official speaks!"

Zheng Yong was enjoying a cigarette. In his ears were the staff, who kept shouting, "Left wing artillery group, report the results of the shelling!" "Okay, all the targets were hit, and the Soviet tanks were destroyed. I will report to the commander immediately."

!”

A staff officer ran over and reported, "Commander, Armored Corps Commander Joe, wants to speak to you!"

Zheng Yong was stunned for a moment, then realized what the call was, and it wasn't because the artillery had taken away their jobs. "I'm Zheng Yong, Brigadier Qiao, what can I do?" Zheng Yong said seriously.

Qiao Zhiliang said angrily: "Commander Zheng, according to the division's counterattack deployment, the artillery is to cooperate with the armored troops, but just now, I just organized an attack, and the result is that you, brother, a single artillery shell, about three hundred Soviet tanks

, I’ve already been reimbursed, what does this mean to you? I want you to give me an explanation! Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to my subordinates!”

Zheng Yong was unhappy and said: "Explain? What should I explain? The artillery also has the responsibility to destroy Lao Maozi's tanks. In the counterattack order of the division commander, it is stipulated that Lao Maozi's tanks must be attacked by your armored troops. Before that, it was not

Were more than half of them killed by the infantry? Why don't you ask them for an explanation? I'm doing my job, there's nothing to explain!"

Qiao Zhiliang was so angry that he almost cursed and yelled: "Well, Zheng Yong, you are unreasonable. I will ask the teacher for comment!"

Zheng Yong looked relaxed and replied: "It's up to you!" and then hung up the phone with a "bah".

Qiao Zhiliang's face turned livid. He looked at the intercom and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Then he thought about it, that's right. There was really no place to reason, so he vented all his anger on the heads of the Soviet infantry, "Everyone."

Brigades, please note that all Soviet tanks will be wiped out. Each brigade will attack the Soviet infantry as a regiment as quickly as possible, and let the artillery see how our tanks can defeat them!"

The other three brigade commanders, who still couldn't understand the meaning of Qiao Zhiliang's words, were holding back their energy. More than a thousand tanks were divided into more than a dozen lines. The engines roared, the tracks "rolled", and the muzzles spit out tongues of fire.

, and fiercely attacked the Soviet army in depth.

The front of the battlefield outside Minusinsk was turned into a mess. Under the fierce attack of the independent division's frontal assault troops, the Soviet Third Army collapsed first. More than 50,000 troops were beaten to pieces.

Soon, they were divided and surrounded by troops from four brigades of the Independent Division.

At the rear of the battlefield, on a high ground overlooking the entire battlefield, several military tents were pitched in a sparse pine forest. This is where the independent division headquarters is located. In a tent with a gas lamp lit, Tang Qiuli was sitting

Sitting on the canvas marching chair, with his eyes slightly closed, he listened to the continuous sound of gunfire.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe put down the phone and said, "Division Commander, after receiving a report from the frontal counterattack troops, they have formed a split and encirclement situation against the Soviet troops blocking us. Several brigade commanders asked for instructions to annihilate this Soviet army on the spot.

We should still use some of our troops to surround them, while other troops will continue to attack the Soviet army in depth."

"In addition, the second echelon of Soviet troops, about the strength of one corps, launched a ferocious counterattack against our left and right wing troops. The battle was extremely fierce, because without a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, the Soviet counterattack could not be completely suppressed.

, the battle is not progressing quickly, and about one corps of Soviet troops are quickly leaving the battlefield and breaking out toward the Ural Mountains!"

"Throwing away soldiers to save chariots, that Bamiyanov's reaction was quite fast!" Tang Qiuli thought to himself. In fact, the battlefield situation at this moment posed a problem for him.

If a Soviet corps that was divided and surrounded was completely annihilated, and the four brigades that counterattacked from the front would have the advantage in strength, it would not be a problem. However, if the four brigades on the left and right flanks were to hold back and finally kill the Soviet corps that was counterattacking, it would only be a problem.

The time is not later than tomorrow morning, but the last Soviet army will retreat completely, and the Soviet command organization will definitely break out of the encirclement. That is a whole Soviet army.

It's a pity that he ran away!

Tang Qiuli's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, a cold light flashed through, he stood up suddenly, and said: "Yuhe, convey my order, the 7th and 8th brigades of the frontal assault troops, the 6th tank brigade

, annihilate the divided and surrounded Soviet troops on the spot."

"The 1st and 2nd brigades, and the 3rd tank brigade, don't get entangled. Quickly attack deep into the Soviet army and catch up with the retreating Soviet army. The 3rd brigade of the left wing force and the 5th brigade of the right wing force immediately leave from the current battlefield.

Escape and conduct a parallel pursuit of the retreating Soviet troops. The specific tactics are to intercept them layer by layer to eliminate the Soviet troops to the maximum extent."

"The 4th and 5th tank brigades immediately used the fastest speed to reinforce the 4th and 6th infantry brigades on the left and right wings, and cooperated to annihilate the Soviet troops. In short, our purpose of this battle cannot be allowed to

Any unit of the Soviet army will retreat intact!"

Tang Qiuli's style of play is a bit risky, especially if the troops on the left and right wings use one brigade each to withstand the counterattack of one Soviet army. It will definitely be a very difficult fight. If not, the Soviet Second Army may be

However, Tang Qiuli obviously took this into consideration and transferred two tank brigades to increase the assault force. However, this will take time. Before the tank troops arrive, the remaining two brigades on the left and right wings will bear the burden.

The Soviet Second Army was under great pressure to counterattack.

In the final analysis, due to the lack of troops, we can only adopt a strategy of blocking on one side and attacking from two sides. Otherwise, surrounded by a tight pocket formation, the Soviet 43rd Army will definitely insert every soldier.

Wings cannot escape!

Tang Qiuli had a deeper concern. If the Soviet army that broke through did not suffer a severe blow and escaped unscathed, when the directly affiliated corps began to evacuate Minusinsk after the battle, they would be the first to turn around.

, it must be this part of the Soviet army that is pursuing the pursuit.

The Soviet army of a mere army is not terrible, but behind it are four army groups with hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops that can be reached within two days, as well as more than one million Soviet troops on the southern front.

The Soviet troops will all come in droves.

Once you are held back from retreating, it will definitely be difficult for you in the future, so even if you take risks, you must inflict heavy losses!
