Age of Conquest Reborn

On the Gurbansaihan battlefield in southern Outer Mongolia, the Independent Division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps and three infantry brigades built a blocking line to block the remnants of the Soviet 37th Group Army that retreated from Saiyinsanda. Battlefield

The situation above was not optimistic for the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, because several deserters appeared in key positions, causing a hole in the position to be torn open by the Soviet army.

Although the opening was not big, it was just a squad-sized defensive position, but it gave the Soviet army the opportunity to break through the blocking position. As the saying goes, "A dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest." The third Soviet army was eager to escape.

Lieutenant General Hippolyv, the commander of the 17th Army Group, immediately seized the opportunity and invested almost all his troops in a crazy attack. The third brigade of the defense forces in this area, from the brigade commander Colonel Rao Zhonghan to ordinary handymen

, all threw themselves into this fight.

The Third Brigade, even in the combat order of the Mongolian Field Corps, which was just formed less than half a year ago, is also the latest unit to be formed. Except for some companies, platoon leaders and other combat backbones who have been on the battlefield and smelled the smoke of gunpowder, they are absolutely

Most of the soldiers are novices. If they were from the other veteran regiments of the Independent Division, not only would they not be attacked by the Soviet army, they might even be able to launch a few beautiful counterattacks, completely suppressing the Soviet army's arrogance.

!

But this is just a good wish. Yao Zhonghan was transferred from the position of commander of the fifth brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and still carried the rank of colonel. The moment the submachine gun ran out of bullets, these thoughts flashed in his mind.

Flashing past him, whether it was regret, resentment, or self-blame, he had no time to think about it. Before he could change the magazine, an exclamation came from behind him, "Brigadier, be careful!"

Rao Zhonghan, who was already extremely exhausted, could only twist his body. Before he could turn around, a sharp pain spread from his lower back to his whole body. All the strength in his body was almost taken away in an instant. "Fuck! What the hell?"

Still shot!" Rao Zhonghan cursed in his heart. A tall Soviet soldier with a fleshy face pulled out a bloody bayonet from his body. Then, he retracted the bayonet and prepared to refill it.

In one fell swoop, the life of this squadron colonel was completely eliminated.

Rao Zhonghan turned his head with great effort, and saw the Soviet soldier's bayonet. Under the sunshine in southern Outer Mongolia, it glowed with a dazzling cold light. In the blink of an eye, it reached his chest. With a "pop!" gunshot, the Soviet soldier's bayonet was glowing with a dazzling cold light under the sunshine in southern Outer Mongolia.

The soldier's bayonet almost hit his front

His chest was full, but his head was blooming, and scarlet blood splashed several feet high. The bayonet scraped across his body. Rao Zhonghan's eyes were a little dark, and he saw several guards rushing forward, far ahead of the position.

.Groups of Soviet soldiers surged up like a tide.

"It's over, the position is lost! What a shame!" Rao Zhonghan muttered before losing consciousness. Then, boundless darkness flooded him like a tide.

Rao Zhonghan read it right. The Soviet army was rushing towards the breach. In addition to continuing to attack in other directions to contain the troops of the other two brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps so that they could not divide their troops to reinforce the breach, the Soviet army

Lieutenant General Hippolyv, commander of the 37th Group Army, invested all his troops in the direction of the breakthrough. This was an opportunity to survive a desperate situation.

With extreme fear and excitement, Lieutenant General Hippolyv ordered the troops to stand firm at the breakthrough point at any cost, even if the soldiers wanted blood and dyed the ground under their feet red, and the corpses filled the trenches of the independent division troops.

We must also break through the Chinese blockade, otherwise, the 37th Army will not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.

There are countless possibilities for reversing the situation of the war. One of them is because of one person and an old army that has fought hard through the hail of bullets, or in other words, because of the character of its commander.

Major General Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade, felt really bad after handing over the built fortifications to several brigade commanders from the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. Even his words had a sour taste.

Ren Zhaoquan was not thinking, and said to several brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps who came to hand over the fortifications: "Come on, please check and accept the fortifications. The division commander gave me a fatal order to build them for the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.

The fortifications must be able to withstand the uninterrupted bombardment of the Soviet army's large-caliber artillery, and they must be able to block the Soviet army for more than eight hours, and the casualties of the troops must be the minimum standard!"

The three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with cautious smiles, all recognized the sourness in the words of the brigade commander directly under the corps, but they all understood that the fortifications were built by others. No matter how you say it, there are ready-made

The fortifications can be used, what an advantage it takes. Among them is the commander of the Third Brigade, Rao Zhonghan.

Seeing them like this, looking like they were taking advantage, Ren Zhaoquan was even more upset, "The division commander has given a death order, we don't dare to cut corners and mess around, alas! Who gets their fate, you guys tell us, we follow morality

Lun ran more than a hundred kilometers

There are nearly 20,000 people here, working hard for six or seven hours, and the fortifications have been dug. Hey, the division commander has issued an order to withdraw to Delun. Well, we are seeing a big battle, and not ten of us are there.

What happened to the First Brigade? Where can I go to explain it to you?"

Ren Zhaoquan was spitting and complaining. The three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were smiling and didn't say a word to each other. Anyway, we are fighting the battle, and the 11th Brigade is a veteran.

The main field brigade was regarded as engineers by the division commander. They dug trenches for other troops but were not allowed to fight. It was inevitable that they felt uncomfortable. It was normal to say a few words of complaint. I understand, long live understanding!

Ren Zhaoquan grumbled and felt a little more comfortable. He knew that he had nothing to say to the three brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. It was not that they did not allow him to fight. It was the division commander's order. He then briefly explained a few words, and then

, led the troops back to Delen listlessly. Because they were not active, the troops did not go fast. Compared with when they came, they were more than half slower!

The march had only been more than an hour. Ren Zhaoquan, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, had been thinking about this matter. Suddenly he hit his head and came up with an excellent idea. On the position, he noticed that the Outer Mongolia Field Corps

The three infantry brigades were lightly equipped to pursue the Soviet army and marched long distances. Heavy weapons such as artillery were left behind. How could such a large-scale blockade be fought without artillery? Why not suffer the Soviet army's losses?

Ren Zhaoquan's idea was to temporarily place the heavy artillery regiment of his brigade under the command of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' interdiction force. Are they friendly troops? We are all one family, supporting a heavy artillery regiment. That is our duty. We set out from Delen.

At that time, Ren Zhaoquan himself was more cautious. If the retreating Soviet troops suddenly arrived at Gurbansai Khan while digging fortifications, would his troops still have to return to Delen?

Definitely not necessary, they were all marked up, and the division commander could still forcefully order him to withdraw from the battlefield. Therefore, Ren Zhaoquan accepted the order to pursue the troops and dig fortifications for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, but in fact, he wanted to join the war in his heart.

, the brigade belongs to the heavy artillery regiment, so of course we have to bring it with us. It is no small matter for a heavy artillery regiment to return to the front line. It needs to be escorted by heavy troops. If the number of troops is small, what if an accident occurs?

Ren Zhaoquan found a very reasonable reason for himself, and the brigade commander gave the order. As a result, the nearly 20,000 troops of the 11th Brigade, who had been less enthusiastic about returning to Delun, turned around and felt wind at their feet.

, rushed to Gurban Saikhan with full energy. For these old and powerful troops, it was very exciting to have a battle. This trip completely changed the situation of the battle and saved the three lives of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.

An infantry brigade, nearly 50,000 soldiers died.

Ren Zhaoquan also carefully weighed whether his actions were disobeying the division commander's military orders. After pondering for a long time, he reassured himself, "The division commander's order did not stipulate at what specific time the 11th Brigade must

Returning to Dren, that is to say, there is not much difference between a few hours in advance and a few hours in delay!" He thought to himself that the next problem would be much simpler. Just as the troops were about to return, the Soviet army's retreating troops suddenly

to.

Then, the heavy artillery regiment had to stay in order to provide fire support to the lightly-armed Outer Mongolia Field Corps troops who were pursuing them. We couldn't just watch our brother troops suffer. If the heavy artillery regiment stayed, the other four infantry regiments, of course, couldn't just sit back and watch and invested.

Fighting is the most basic method, "Hey!" Ren Zhaoquan smiled proudly. All the conditions were put together, and the 11th Brigade had to go into battle. How could the division commander punish himself?

He did not disobey the military order. Besides, he would fight for a few hours and wait for the follow-up troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to arrive. It would not be too late to withdraw to Delen. Ren Zhaoquan was quite proud of his whimsical idea and followed the armor command.

The car was jolting, shaking his head, and mumbling words, looking very intoxicated.

Seeing the brigade commander's triumphant look, the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Fu Dechun, burst into laughter and said, "Brigade commander, it's better not to be complacent. You didn't return to Delun as ordered and participated in the battle without permission. Thinking about how to deal with it."

Master, Master is not easy to fool!" he reminded.

Ren Zhaoquan smiled mysteriously, "Chief of Staff, don't worry about this. The mountain man has his own clever plan. Besides, we don't have to finish the fight all the time. The whole brigade goes up and fights him for two or three hours, which is close to noon, and then

It’s not too late to withdraw to Delun, just rush back this evening. If you just rush back like this, won’t you feel panicked?”

Fu Dechun shook his head with a wry smile. He did not think that the brigade commander's reasons could convince the division commander. After all, the 11th Brigade's return to the Gurbansaihan battlefield was in violation of the division commander's orders.

Seeing his chief of staff looking worried, Ren Zhaoquan cheered: "Dechun, it's no big deal. Tell me, are there any loopholes in the order the division commander gave us? Hey, if there are loopholes, we have to exploit them.

If other troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps pounce on us, will we still have a chance to fight? You have to take advantage of it as early as possible!"
