Age of Conquest Reborn

"That's enough, Chief of Staff Zhao! Under the current circumstances, any short-sightedness and hesitation will put more than 200,000 independent division soldiers in an extremely dangerous situation. What I need now is not some advice, but

Execute the order immediately!" Tang Qiuli suddenly changed his expression and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe with a sharp look and sharp tone.

Zhao Yuhe was really shocked. This was the first time he saw the division commander getting angry at him, and his eyes seemed to kill people. However, he was just stunned for a moment and immediately replied loudly: "Yes, division commander! You will be executed immediately."

Order!"

Zhao Yuhe turned around and left in a hurry. Tang Qiuli's face was ashen and he said to Shan Hu: "Huzi, immediately organize the evacuation of all personnel in the division and command, hurry!"

"Chen Feng! Chen Feng!" Tang Qiuli shouted again, and Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, hurried over, "Commander, what are your orders?" he asked.

"Send a report to Ouyang Yishan of the 2nd Brigade and Chu Ziye of the 4th Brigade. Your unit's blockade is actually necessary to buy time for other troops to leave the battlefield. However, the blockade time cannot be too long. Please refer to the specific situation.

Take control of each, but it should not exceed two hours. After the blockade is completed, turn to the direction of Cullen and rendezvous with the main force of the corps. Remember, you must not be reluctant to fight. You must evacuate the battlefield decisively and quickly, with the primary purpose of getting rid of the Soviet entanglement!" Tang

Qiu Li dictated.

The flying artillery shells fell densely on the encirclement, shaking the ground and filling the air with fireworks. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers were like sitting on a small boat in the wind and rain, in danger of sinking at any time. Bamiyanov was

General, his face turned pale, he

He never expected that even with the Air Force's fighter jets and bombers, and even with the 60,000 reinforcements at hand, Tang Qiuli was still determined to encircle and annihilate him, and the 43rd Army would still be unable to escape in the end.

The fate of destruction.

The sound waves caused by the explosion roared in the air. The bodies of the Soviet soldiers were torn apart in the plumes of smoke rising into the sky. The sky was filled with broken limbs and black smoke. Such a fierce bombardment affected every inch of the land.

Almost all were shrouded in fragments of steel.

Lieutenant General Bamiyanov knew that he would not be spared. Before the reinforcements arrived, he and the tens of thousands of surviving soldiers would be torn into pieces by the volcanic eruption of artillery fire from the Independent Division. He huddled in the shelter with a look on his face.

Numbly, he took out a paper and pen and prepared to write a suicide note.

Suddenly, the sound of artillery stopped suddenly, like a summer rainstorm, coming and going quickly, unprepared when it came, and gone like the wind. "What happened? Why did the Chinese artillery suddenly stop? It was their tanks and infantry.

"Have you started attacking? But why didn't you hear the fierce gunshots?" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov raised his head blankly, looking at the battlefield still shrouded in smoke and fireworks with dull eyes. His thinking temporarily went blank.

.

Major General Khabarovsky, chief of staff of the group army, his head covered with dust, his uniform torn with several holes, stumbled into the shelter under the protection of several guards, "Comrade Commander, the Chinese people are withdrawing."

Let's go, we're saved! - Come on, we're saved! It's all over!" He shouted loudly, a little incoherently with excitement.

"The Chinese have evacuated? - Saved! Two days and two nights like purgatory have passed!" Lieutenant General Bamiyanov seemed to be unable to believe this fact, murmuring and repeating, and suddenly felt weak all over.

, all the strength was withdrawn, and he fell limply to the ground.

After the order from the division commander was issued, Ouyang Yishan's second brigade and Chu Ziye's fourth brigade immediately withdrew from the battlefield and faced the 60,000 Soviet reinforcements. The other six brigades took advantage of the encirclement.

The Soviet troops inside were beaten so disoriented that they quickly left the battlefield and headed towards Cullen.

The blocking of the 2nd and 4th brigades also appeared suddenly. The four Soviet soldiers who were rushing on their way were suddenly attacked more than 20 kilometers away from Balekcha. Groups of mortar shells roared.

It landed in the Soviet marching column and exploded, causing the Soviet soldiers to flip over and set the trucks and armored vehicles on fire. Although the heavy artillery regiments of the two brigades followed the artillery troops and withdrew, Ouyang Yishan and Chu Ziye continued to use mortars.

The momentum of the artillery was unleashed.

Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. The commanders of the four Soviet mechanized troops who received a death order had to bravely rush in even if there was a mountain of fire ahead. The Soviet artillerymen hurriedly unloaded the artillery hauled by trucks and built positions on the spot.

The Soviet tanks, covering the entire regiment and division of infantry, began a ferocious attack. The tanks' tracks kicked up dust all over the sky and swooped towards the simple fortifications built hastily by the 2nd and 4th brigades.

Almost immediately after the encounter, the battle reached a fever pitch. Soviet tanks and infantry swarmed in, and artillery shells rained down on the positions of the independent division troops. The frozen soil and smoke from the explosions flew all over the sky, covering the positions.

.

Two hours later, Ouyang Yishan spoke to Chu Ziye on the phone, "Brigadier Chu, the time set by the division commander for the blockade has arrived. The second brigade is ready to withdraw from the battlefield. We must withdraw immediately, otherwise, we will be attacked.

The Soviet army is entangled, and when the main force of the Soviet army behind catches up, it will be difficult to escape!"

The muscles on Chu Ziye's cheeks couldn't help but twitch. In just two hours of blocking, the Fourth Brigade filled in with more than 4,000 people. They were suppressed by the Soviet artillery fire. This battle was painful, "

Brigadier Ouyang, I'm ready to retreat now, let's leave now! We'll settle this debt later!" Chu Ziye said fiercely through gritted teeth.

Ouyang Yishan put down the phone, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. The direction of the second brigade's blockade was the Soviet army's key breakthrough area. The casualties of the troops were greater than those of the fourth brigade. The two-hour blockade had many casualties.

More than 7,000 people attended.

The reinforcing Soviet soldiers carefully stepped through the battlefield that was still filled with gunpowder smoke and full of bomb craters. Except for a thick layer of shell casings in the simple trenches, there was nothing. When the Chinese retreated, even the bodies of the fallen soldiers were found.

No one left, let alone the wounded!

The four Soviet commanders briefly discussed and before them, they had two options. One was to immediately pursue the retreating independent division troops, and the other was to continue rushing to Balé in accordance with the orders of the Front Army Headquarters and the Group Army Headquarters.

Kecha, turn with the 43rd Army.

The first choice is undoubtedly correct. It is very likely to bite the tail of the independent division troops and entangle them until the follow-up troops arrive. However, it also contains an unpredictable danger. In case, this is another Chinese trap, in a certain

In this place, 60,000 troops were waiting for him. In the process of several battles with the independent division, he had already experienced the cunning and ferocity of the Chinese. The follow-up troops were still nearly a day's journey away from him.

The strength of 60,000 troops alone is still not enough compared to the independent division troops that can encircle the 43rd Group Army with more than 100,000 troops. If it is really a trap by the Chinese, not only will the 43rd Group Army not be able to be saved,

Even he had to join in. The 43rd Army, which had more than 100,000 people, was beaten to pieces in two days and almost completely wiped out. This could not but make these Soviet commanders fearful and wary. No one dared to attack them.

He underestimated the notorious Tang Qiuli.

The second option is the safest, because the order received is to reinforce the 43rd Army as quickly as possible to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, and also to avoid being shot and having family members be killed by the Cheka.

The fate of being captured, as for the further considerations of the front army headquarters, was not within the scope of his concern. Moreover, after being blocked here for two hours, the main force of the independent division had already withdrawn to a safe distance.

If it is a pursuit, whether we can catch up is still an ambiguous question. The most important thing is that the blocking battle just now was bloody and bloody. The strength of the independent division's blocking troops was obviously less than our own, but it was able to block it for two hours.

, and caused a lot of casualties to the reinforcements. Its combat effectiveness was frightening. After weighing the pros and cons, the commanders of the fourth Soviet reinforcements reached a consensus and resolutely implemented the orders of the front army commander General Vasilevsky.

.

As a result, the 60,000 Soviet reinforcements followed the remaining traces on the battlefield, buried the corpses, took the wounded, and continued to advance rapidly in the direction of Balekcha, where the unlucky 43rd Army was waiting for rescue.

!

More than an hour after leaving the interdiction battlefield, Major General Chu Ziye, commander of the 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, sitting in an armored command vehicle, said nothing, with a gloomy face and murderous eyes, "Stop the car!" Chu Ziye said to him.

As the driver shouted, the armored command vehicle came to an abrupt stop, raising a puff of smoke and dust, and the troops that continued to retreat passed by quickly like a torrent.

"Chengguang, the Soviet army hasn't caught up yet?" he asked the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Wu Chengguang.

Wu Chengguang replied: "The brigade commander, the fourth regiment serving as rearguard, reported that the Soviet army continued to move in the direction of Balekcha and did not pursue us. The reconnaissance force also confirmed this. The troops in front of us have completely separated from the battlefield.

"

"Damn, it's so boring. I'm still planning to kill the Soviet army with a counterattack!" Chu Ziye muttered dissatisfiedly, with a look of regret on his face. According to Chu Ziye's idea, he really planned to kill the Soviet army with a counterattack. He judged that reinforcements were needed.

It is impossible to use all the Soviet troops

If you come to pursue yourself and the second brigade, you will have an opportunity to catch up with ten or twenty thousand people, who are just food for you. Continue to keep aloof from the pursuing Soviet army. After a day or two, find a suitable area.

Suddenly turned around and killed the pursuing Soviet troops.

Unexpectedly, the Soviet army did not cooperate and did not dare to catch up, which made Chu Ziye feel frustrated. "Chengguang, order the fourth rear guard regiment to speed up the march and catch up with the main force of the brigade!" He said to Wu Chengguang.

After jumping out of the armored command vehicle, Chu Ziye lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, looked at the troops passing by like a torrent, his eyes wandered for a few times, and he began to think, "If the Soviet army did not pursue him, then

Are there any pursuers in the direction of the second brigade? If there are, it’s also a good opportunity!”
