Age of Conquest Reborn

The north wind howls, rolling up the gravel everywhere, hitting the barren land. The night is as dark as ink, with a few stars, as if they can't stand the cold, shivering in the deep night sky, the Great Gobi in northwest Outer Mongolia, Ulan

There were only a few lights in Guben, making the town feel increasingly dead.

Major General Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, put down the telegram in his hand with an ugly expression. Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade, Major General Ren Zhaoquan, the commander of the 11th Brigade, and Major General Chen Han, the commander of the 12th Brigade, could not help but look nervously.

Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan asked: "Old Xiao, what did the teacher say?"

Xiao Jinshan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily to the three old guys: "What else can you say? Let's give up Wulan Guben and turn to the direction of Kulun immediately. Regarding our proposal, along the way

To block the Soviet army's plan to move north to Minusinsk, simply reject it and prepare to run away!"

The other three brigade commanders all fell into silence. The division commander ordered the withdrawal of Ulan Guben. It was originally part of the battle plan on the southern front, but it was a pity that Ulan Guben was abandoned without a fight.

Langu is a very good blocking location. Not to mention the defense facilities left over from past dynasties, after the four brigades of the directly affiliated corps withdrew here, they carried out large-scale reinforcements in order to prepare for a big fight with the Soviet army here.

Prepare.

It is not a problem to block the Soviet army for a day and then safely evacuate. Moreover, with the command ability of these few people, the combat effectiveness of the troops and the individual quality of the soldiers, they can block the main force of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front heading north along the way.

If you go around, you won't suffer any loss, and in this way, you can also reduce the pressure on the teacher. Why the teacher even vetoed this item, several people can't understand it, and they can't figure it out.

Xiao Jinshan sat down on the canvas marching chair, and the chair creaked under the pressure. He lit a cigarette and blew out a heavy puff of smoke, "Old guys, tell me, what is this? The four of us

A field brigade is only 90,000 strong, and it has a lot of artillery of various calibers, so don’t you think you have the ability to fight with Lao Maozi?"

"I feel aggrieved, very aggrieved. The fighting on the Northern Front is in full swing. We don't ask for such a large-scale battle. We can just beat the drum and harass the Soviet troops along the way, right? It's not like we have never done this before. Are you familiar with the road? The division commander did this

, clearly don’t trust our four lower brigades!” Xiao Jinshan complained.

Seeing that Xiao Jinshan was speaking a little erratically, Fang Yuanshan reminded: "I'm talking about Lao Xiao without complaining. The division commander must have a deeper intention for doing this. Our four brigades are gathered together, with a strength of nearly 90,000 troops.

, which seems to be quite a lot, can be compared with

Compared with the more than one million Soviet troops, it's still not enough. Even if they go directly to the two armies in Ulangu, their strength is far greater than ours. Come on, don't worry about this and prepare to evacuate. It's a pity, we are here

A lot of effort was put into this!”

Xiao Jinshan squinted his eyes, glanced at Fang Yuanshan, and let out a dissatisfied "hum" in his nose. Obviously, he didn't like to listen to what the old man said, but what others said was also true, whether it was the two armies or the South

The main Soviet forces on the front line were all giants.

The commander of the 12th Brigade, Major General Chen Han, is considered a junior among the veteran brigade commanders of the directly affiliated corps. The 11th and 12th Brigades were both later formed formations, with some drawn from each brigade.

Based on the backbone troops, some second-line troops were upgraded and formed. Speaking of which, the bones and flesh of the 12th Brigade were given by these brigade commanders. Normally, Chen Han also respected them very much.

Hearing Xiao Jinshan's complaints and Fang Yuanshan's advice, Chen Han remained silent. Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Han smiled and said: "Three brigade commanders, I have a suggestion, which does not violate the division commander's orders, but also

It can achieve the purpose of harassing and delaying the main force of the Soviet army moving northward!"

Xiao Jinshan jumped up from his chair and said anxiously: "Hey, Lao Twelve, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly. I'm so anxious that I'm fuming without seeing you!"

Regarding the title "Old Twelve", Chen Han was quite helpless. The brigades of the directly-affiliated corps, from one to twelve, had become conventional names according to their numbers. I don't know who first called it that. Anyway, it was within the directly-affiliated corps.

It was spread that the brigade commanders at the bottom of the ranking were very reluctant and helpless about this. The brigade commanders at the top were happy to call them this. As long as they were meeting in the corps, they would be more than a dozen people when they met.

.....

Among them, especially Liu Hongzhang, commander of the 1st brigade, Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th brigade, and Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th brigade, they shouted very smoothly. Liu Hongzhang's words were very clear to those who raised objections.

It was straightforward, "Guys, if you don't like hearing this, you can go to the division commander and ask for adjustment. If I transfer to another brigade, I will accept it without any complaints!"

In other words, who can ask to be the brigade commander of a certain brigade just because of a title and go to the division commander specifically? Isn't that just waiting to be criticized?

However, if at this time, the four brigade commanders, especially Xiao Jinshan, learn that Liu Hongzhang, who has always regarded himself as the boss, is now the aggrieved deputy battalion commander, why not burst into laughter?

Chen Han touched the short stubble on his chin and said: "The division commander's purpose is not to let us suffer in front of the superior Soviet army, but we can work around it so that it does not affect the evacuation of the troops and can still take advantage of the Soviet army."

mouth."

Seeing that the other three people were listening attentively, Chen Han continued: "We can do it this way. The main force of the brigade will evacuate Wulanguben normally according to the order of the division commander, but a few elite troops will be left behind to carry out the task of harassing the Soviet army.

"

"Several of you, each of our brigade and regiment does not have a reconnaissance company. The brigade headquarters also has a reconnaissance battalion directly under it. What does that do? When it comes to means such as infiltrating camps, assassinating people, and going deep behind enemy lines, they are certainly not as good as special warfare.

Detachment, but it’s almost the same

How many, this is our special operations detachment, spread out, destroy roads, bridges, lay mines, and sneak attack the Soviet logistics troops along the way of the Soviet army going north. The effect will be no less than that of all our troops!

"

Xiao Jinshan was amazed, looked at Fang Yuanshan and said: "This is a wonderful plan! You see, the twelfth is young and has a flexible mind, unlike the two of you, the tenth and the eleventh, who only know the sad faces, what do you think of this plan?

Anyway, I support it with both hands!"

Fang Yuanshan retorted, "I said, Lao Jiu, don't wear a high hat on yourself. You were also looking sad just now, with a face like an eggplant. I also agree with Brigadier Chen's suggestion. Lao Ren, what about you?"

Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade, nodded cautiously and said: "I also agree with Brigadier Chen's opinion, but I would like to add that if we spread out all the reconnaissance troops, it would be sixteen companies plus four

A battalion with more than 5,000 people is about to catch up with a reinforced regiment. Such a large number of troops should have a unified command structure. Don't do their own things. Cooperation will be better. If that company is bitten by the Soviet army,

If you stay here, you might as well find a rescue!"

Fang Yuanshan raised his thumb and said: "Okay, as expected, he is very sophisticated. Let me see, what is the designation? It's called the Western Outer Mongolia Guerrilla Detachment of the Independent Division. Anyway, it is a temporary combat command organization. The detachment leader will be my chief of staff, Colonel Xu Guodong. Anyway, it is a

The temporary combat command structure does not need to be reported to the division headquarters for approval, and the division commander does not know better!"

Xiao Jinshan laughed and said: "Okay! This can be done! Guys, we have left so many nails for Lao Maozi's troops. It's time for us to organize our troops to evacuate. The troops of the two Soviet Army Groups are less than a day away from us."

It’s a long journey, don’t get bitten in the butt!”

Just when Xiao Jinshan and the others were plotting to cause more trouble for the main force of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front heading north at full speed, the Minusinsk outer battlefield had entered its final stage. Among the eight mechanized infantry brigades of the directly affiliated corps, four

Under the siege of the tank brigade, the 43rd Army Headquarters and the subordinate First Army could no longer escape intact. They were dragged tightly in the Balekcha area, struggling to hold on!

"Boom! Boom! Boom -!" A burst of artillery shells exploded in a small village near Balekcha. The dust and smoke stirred up immediately shrouded the small village with only a dozen broken stone houses in mist.

middle.

Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, the commander of the group army, looked at the fire caused by the explosion of artillery shells outside, his face was livid, and he shouted at the chief of staff, Major General Khabarovsky: "Comrade chief of staff, please send a telegram to the front army headquarters asking for help.

Has it been sent? Why haven’t we received a specific order from the Front Army Headquarters yet?”

Chief of Staff Khabarovsky looked grim and replied: "Comrade Commander, when we were attacked by the main force of the Independent Division, the request for help telegram was already sent, and it was resent every hour.

, indicating the dangerous situation we are facing, so far, the several orders from the front army headquarters are still the same, ordering our group army to quickly move closer to the four group armies heading south to Ulan Guben."

Lieutenant General Bamiyanov roared: "Bullshit, I know, but the point is, we have been bitten by the main force of the independent division now, and there is no way to get away from the battlefield quickly. What I need are reinforcements, not these nonsense!"

"

With his throat dry, Chief of Staff Khabarovsky replied: "Comrade Commander, the front army has ordered that the four armies that went south to Ulanguben will immediately turn around and return north to rescue our unit. Moreover, Vasilevsky

Commander, we have already commanded the main force of the Southern Front and are rushing to the Minusinsk battlefield day and night!"

Looking at Lieutenant General Bamiyanov's face, which was as gloomy as the night sky outside, Chief of Staff Khabarovsky said cautiously: "The commander is still in the telegram, ordering our army to entangle the independence at any cost.

The main force of the division will create favorable conditions for the main force of the front army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the independent division around Minusinsk!"

"What?" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, with the veins on his forehead bulging one after another, was clearly on the verge of going berserk.
