Age of Conquest Reborn

The 2027th chapter falls short (1)

The Outer Mongolian Front Army, with more than 1.6 million troops, launched a mighty attack. At the Tangnu Mountain Pass, the four leading troops were violently attacked. Outside Minusinsk, a group army was almost crippled.

General Vsky believed that the price he had paid was enough. If he could not seize the main force of the Chinese, he would not be able to answer the question in front of Stalin.

The current value of the 43rd Group Army is to hold back the main force of the Independent Division for the main force of the front army at the cost of annihilation. General Vasilevsky is very clear about this, so he will give the 43rd Group Army

Among the orders, there were almost inhumane contents. He also knew that after receiving the order, the commander of the group army, Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, would make the right decision.

He did not disappoint himself. After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, General Vasilevsky slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Stand still and wait for help!" This was the result he most hoped to see. For that

For the Chinese Tang Qiuli, the 43rd Army Group, which was beaten to death, was a tempting prey. As long as the final blow was made, the Chinese could get the result they wanted most.

Therefore, before Tang Qiuli swallowed the prey into his mouth, it was the last chance for the Outer Mongolian Front Army, because it took time, and what he lacked most was time.

, when the decision was made to change the battle plan to attack Kulun and instead move north to Minusinsk, almost all senior officers in the front army headquarters opposed it.

Lieutenant General Bozhnev, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, sincerely expressed the opinions of all officers, "Comrade Commander, even outside Minusinsk, it is indeed the main force of the independent division, and its strength will not exceed 300,000.

There is no need for us to give up our original battle plan. In terms of the troops used, the four armies that marched south to Ulan Guben, with more than 400,000 troops rushing to the rescue, are enough. Comrade Commander, please even consider it!"

General Vasilevsky had his own ideas. When a lion fights a rabbit, he still needs to try his best. What's more, after fighting with the Chinese Tang Qiuli, what he faced was not a weak rabbit, but a weak rabbit.

A wolf as cunning as a fox, he laid out the Tangnu Mountains and Minusinsk twice. He has already shown that he does not attach enough importance to Tang Qiuli. As for Kulun, it is a city. It cannot run or fly, but

It was only occupied a few days later.

Therefore, it was General Vasilevsky’s irrevocable decision to deploy the entire army to form a huge encirclement against the main force of the Independent Division. At the cost of annihilating a group army of more than 100,000 people, the Chinese troops could not be

.I am trapped in the Internet, and I have no way to explain it to anyone.

General Vasilevsky issued this order to the four armies heading south to Ulanguben, "immediately gather all tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks to form a rapid reinforcement force with a strength of no less than 60,000 people."

, be sure to arrive at the Minusinsk battlefield before 12 noon today. If the army’s reinforcements do not arrive on time, the army commander and political commissar will report to the military court themselves!”

This order is very harsh, which means that even if the reinforcements march fully mechanized, it will be difficult to shorten the journey that takes a day and a half at the fastest to half a day. This is a seemingly impossible task, but outsiders

All the generals of the Mongolian Front Army knew that when Comrade Commander issued such an order, he was preparing to go on a killing spree.

As a result, the commanders of the four group armies also issued more stringent orders to the reinforcements that were ready to go. "We must arrive in Minusinsk before 11 noon today to rescue the 43rd Group Army. Otherwise, the reinforcements will

The commanders and political commissars at all levels will be shot immediately, and their families will be handed over to the Cheka."

After this order, all the officers and soldiers of the reinforcements immediately complained and cursed. Is this an order to force people to commit suicide? But the military orders were overwhelming, and no one dared to disobey them. So, more than 60,000 soldiers marched mechanized

The Soviet soldiers, like crazy, rushed towards the Minusinsk battlefield.

In fact, no one knows the fear in General Vasilevsky's heart. He is really worried to death. He is worried that Bamiyanov will not be able to hold on for so long. He is worried that before all his more than one million troops can press forward, that

The Chinese Tang Qiuli ran away after eating and drinking enough.

For this reason, General Vasilevsky, through the General Staff, asked the Baikal Front to move south immediately to cut off the independent division's retreat to Kulun. The Chief of the General Staff, Marshal Petroshilov, did not hesitate at all.

fulfilled his request.

One million Soviet troops, under the command of General Kilganin, commander and political commissar of the Baikal Front, quickly moved south. However, it would take about four days to capture Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude.

, it will take at least seven more days to capture Kulun, not because of the stubborn resistance of the independent division, but because the road is too far, and the Baikal Front cannot complete its deployment faster even if it does not fight a battle.

In addition to the above deployment, General Vasilevsky also issued the following order to the air force attached to the Outer Mongolia Front, "The air force must dispatch no less than 500 aircraft in two hours.

Planes provide fire support to the 43rd Army from the air!"

The Air Force commander who received the order complained endlessly. After the last comprehensive attack by a small group of independent division troops, all the field airfields of the Air Force were still being repaired. The damage to combat aircraft was very serious. It was not impossible to make up for it.

Five hundred combat aircraft, the key is the airport's runway and command facilities, which cannot provide the most basic guarantee for the aircraft to take off safely.

Even if we barely manage to take off, there are still dozens of airports. You take off twenty and I take off fifteen. It takes two hours to complete the air formation and go into battle. It’s difficult! It’s very difficult!

In addition, General Jonasov, commander and political commissar of the Air Force's Far East Forward Command, was kidnapped by a small force of the Independent Division. This was a heavy blow to the Air Force. The coordination between various airports itself

That's a big problem.

Therefore, the air force commander assigned to the Outer Mongolia Front sent a euphemistic but clear telegram to General Vasilevsky, "Comrade Commander Vasilevsky, in view of the practical difficulties currently faced by the Air Force,

Forming a formation of 500 combat aircraft to participate in the battle within two hours cannot be completed!"

After reading the telegram from the Air Force, General Vasilevsky roared at that time. He yelled at the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Bozhnev: "Comrade Chief of Staff, you immediately give this bastard of the Air Force such an order. If it happens between two days,

After an hour, I have not received a report that the Air Force is participating in the battle. You and the political commissar, just be prepared to be shot by me. Even if the Air Force General Headquarters comes forward, it will not save your lives!"

Threats, naked threats, but General Vasilevsky has the ability to threaten his own life. The Air Force Headquarters will not fall out with the commander of the front army who holds heavy troops because of himself. As for the Air Force,

While cursing, he was hurriedly preparing the combat aircraft with a severe headache.

After finishing everything that should be done, General Vasilevsky sent a long telegram to Lieutenant General Bamiyanov. In addition to telling him that reinforcements from all walks of life, including Air Force combat aircraft, had been dispatched,

We will be able to reach the battlefield soon. The core meaning is to let Lieutenant General Bamiyanov do his best to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, which is victory. If he can hold back the independent division troops, it will be the first achievement.

The hero of the front army!

After receiving the telegram from the commander of the front army, Lieutenant General Bamiyanov, who was already in a state of despair, seemed to have received a shot in the arm. He ordered the chief of staff, Major General Khabarovsky, to pass the telegram from the commander of the front army to all

The troops, while personally commanding the troops, tried their best to resist, fighting for every inch of territory, and persisted until reinforcements arrived!

With hope, the tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers who were surrounded began to fight desperately. The battle was in a stalemate and was very fierce. The battlefield around Balekcha was filled with smoke and blood, and the smoke of artillery fire shrouded the clear sky.

In the sky, even the strong north wind could not dissipate the thick smell of gunpowder smoke.

The tenacity of the Soviet army's resistance greatly exceeded Tang Qiuli's expectations. The attack started at 6 a.m. and by 8 a.m., it broke through three Soviet defensive positions one after another. The Soviet army's central position had not yet been captured.

Every kilometer attacked required a heavy price, and the casualties of the troops had exceeded the sum of casualties in the battle to resolve the two Soviet armies. In the final stage of the battle, they encountered a hard nut to crack.

By nine o'clock in the morning, all Soviet positions outside Balekcha had declared a breakthrough. The remaining more than 20,000 Soviet soldiers had shrunk to a small area of ​​less than fifty square kilometers, which was the Soviet defense circle.

At the core position, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. With only one final blow, the 43rd Army was completely finished!

Tang Qiuli walked out of the tent and looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. The morning air in the eastern Ural Mountains was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke. Looking through the gunpowder smoke, he could already see that various Soviet armies were approaching quickly.

, the time left for yourself is running out!

Withdrawing his gaze, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order the infantry troops to stop the attack, and order Zheng Yong's artillery to use all their resources to start shelling the Soviet army's core position, the tank troops.

Thirty minutes after the shelling, we began to cover the infantry attack, and within an hour, the battle was over!"

Zhao Yuhe agreed and was about to turn around and leave to give the order. Suddenly, there was a dull "buzzing" sound in the sky, getting louder and louder from far to near.
