Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the independent division, was in front, and Major General Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, followed uneasily. He turned a corner and stopped in front of a room with a cloth curtain. Through the curtain,

Zhao Yuhe said softly: "Division Commander, Brigadier Ren is here!"

"Come in!" A very familiar voice came out. It was the division commander. His tone was light, calm and steady. No emotion could be heard. But for some reason, Ren Zhaoquan's heart skipped a beat and he glanced at the Chief of Staff.

Zhao Yuhe hoped that he could go in with him, but Zhao Yuhe smiled and turned around and left.

There was no other way, but Ren Zhaoquan had no choice but to bite the bullet, lift the door curtain, touch his feet, and give a vigorous military salute, "Report to the division commander, Ren Zhaoquan, commander of the 11th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, has completed his mission and has come to report here to ask for instructions from the division commander.

!”

Tang Qiuli put down the telegram in his hand and stood up from behind the table made of shell boxes. His straight body immediately put great pressure on Ren Zhaoquan. With a glance, Ren Zhaoquan's muscles tightened. He was already standing upright.

My body has grown a little taller unconsciously!

"As the brigade commander, Gurbansai Khan blocked the battle and fought well. The telegram of your request to be the commander-in-chief of the battlefield is in my hand. Unfortunately, it has not been approved yet. I am considering it. Your

The troops have already joined the war, tell me, do I agree or disagree?" Tang Qiuli said calmly with a calm look.

Ren Zhaoquan grinned and muttered to himself: "That's it! The division commander is raising troops to investigate, isn't it obvious? If the division commander did not approve his request, then the actions of the 11th Brigade were unauthorized actions without orders, it seems.

It's not just as simple as getting a lesson!" Don't you understand the teacher's temper? The calmer his tone, the more he is on the verge of rage.

However, Ren Zhaoquan also felt aggrieved. The situation at that time, if he did not take action, the three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps would be completely destroyed. The situation was critical. Should he handle it according to his authority? "Division Commander, you violated the division's instructions and asked the 11th Brigade to complete

build

After the task of building fortifications, I immediately returned to Delun and asked for punishment. However, before you issue the punishment order, please allow me to say a few words...!" Ren Zhaoquan felt that if he did not explain it, he would be wronged.

Dou E repays injustice!

Ren Zhaoquan was about to explain, but was interrupted by Tang Qiuli waving his hand, "Ren Zhaoquan, what kind of punishment? Who wants to punish you? Sun Zhenbang's telegram asking for credit for you. It's in my hands. I'm going to punish you. Sun Zhenbang will definitely not be convinced!"

"

Ren Zhaoquan shook his head, a little confused. If he wasn't punished, why did the teacher rush to call him to teach him? Could it be that what the teacher said was ironic? "Sir, I made a mistake, and of course I have to accept punishment. Just say it, what?"

I can accept any result!" Ren Zhaoquan said with some righteousness.

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli laughed, laughing so hard that Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, did you see that there are still people who insist on punishment! Our brigade commander Ren

It's one of them!" Zhao Yuhe was also happy.

At this point, Ren Zhaoquan finally understood that the teacher did not fully understand what he meant, "Sir, you scared me to death. On the way back to Delun, I was worried about this. What if you do it to me too?"

Go to the logistics force and be a battalion commander, deputy battalion commander or something like that, why don't you die of embarrassment!" After putting down the burden, Ren Zhaoquan felt relaxed, his words were gone, and he couldn't help complaining.

Not only that, he also picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it in one gulp. After finishing it, he wiped his mouth and said, "Commander, if nothing happens, I will go back to the army and do what I need to do."

Son, there is no need to ask for credit without asking for credit!" Ren Zhaoquan said carelessly.

Tang Qiuli suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Ren Zhaoquan, I have fully understood the situation of Gurban Saihan's blocking battle. You, the 11th Brigade, have contributed a lot. It is normal for Sun Zhenbang to ask for credit for you.

Moreover, your command is very good. Without your troops participating in the battle, the battle to encircle and annihilate the 37th Soviet Army would not be the same as it is now. The three infantry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps would also suffer heavy casualties. Maybe Delen

The fight has started now!"

"But...!" Tang Qiuli changed the topic, and Ren Zhaoquan, who had just been relieved, immediately started to worry again, "You are not without mistakes. You participated in the war without permission and made excuses for yourself.

The reason is that if they all act on their own like you, where is the majesty of military discipline and military orders? There are millions of troops in the independent division, some of which are thousands of miles away from the division, but they all do what you do without getting into trouble. In order to maintain military orders, you

Tell me, should you be punished?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Ren Zhaoquan's forehead. After he was completely relaxed, he became uneasy again. He secretly complained, "Yes, this is called sweet first and then bitter. If you give a sweet date and a slap in the face, you still can't avoid punishment."

!”

Seeing the sweat on Ren Zhaoquan's forehead, Tang Qiuli secretly laughed in his heart, "There will be no punishment. As a senior commander, it is necessary to deal with the situation and make decisive decisions. You only need to give instructions to the division."

Telegram, has everything been resolved? Why bother being so secretive and looking for all kinds of reasons and excuses!"

With all the ups and downs, Ren Zhaoquan felt that his heart could hardly bear it. "Division--Commander, if nothing happens, I will still join the army. I am nervous here with you!" He stuttered a little, but said honestly.

.

Tang Qiuli nodded slightly, and said in a rather stern tone: "It's just this once, and it won't be the same in the future. If we do it again, we will not be lenient. The Soviet troops in Cullen have already stretched out their claws. They will return to the army immediately, waiting for orders, and do what they have to do."

So ready to go!”

"Yes! Resolutely carry out the division commander's order," Ren Zhaoquan shouted loudly, turned around and ran away. His movement was definitely fast enough. After leaving the division commander's room, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh my God, I finally passed the test.

I won’t dare to do it next time!” he thought to himself.

After Ren Zhaoquan hurriedly slipped away, Tang Qiuli asked inside the house, "Yu He, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division Commander, I have received a report from the 12th Brigade Reconnaissance Unit. The news that the Soviet 37th Group Army has been annihilated has been learned by the Soviet army moving south from Kulun. There are signs of retreating to Kulun.

The Thirty-fifth Soviet Army sent troops from two armies south, originally to rescue the Thirty-seventh Army. The Soviet troops from the two armies were separated by more than a hundred kilometers."

"The Soviet army that was the first to go south was less than 80 kilometers away from Delenn. Now, the Soviet army has stopped advancing. Its troops are turning around and returning to Kulun. In addition, Commander Sun Zhenbang and Commander Battelle are on their way to the division.

On the way!"

Tang Qiuli smiled contemptuously, "The action was fast enough. This is a normal reaction. Since the 37th Army Group has been completely wiped out in Gurbansaihan, the significance of rescue has been lost. We have to retreat because we are afraid that we will be eaten again."

Drop him, Yuhe, order Ren

Zhaoquan's 11th Brigade and Chen Han's 12th Brigade immediately marched north from Delun, entangled the Soviet army closest to Delun at the fastest speed, and made sure to prevent it from smoothly retreating to Kulun.

As soon as Zhenbang and Battle arrive, come see me immediately!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up and he said: "Commander, are you planning to take advantage of the situation to capture Culun? In that case, why not drag another Soviet army outside the city of Culun?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean! Yuhe, I do have the intention, but it's a pity that I am powerless. With only two brigades, I am not sure that I can capture one of the two armies of the Soviet army.

It’s just a big advantage!”

Tang Qiuli regretted a little. If he had known that the Battle of Saiyinsanda would turn out like this, he would not have transferred Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades from outside Caikulun and deployed them in the Minusinsk area. If so,

The other army, the Soviet Army, would also be a meal on the plate and a meat in the mouth! "What a miscalculation!" he thought to himself with regret.

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle were so anxious that they hurriedly and slowly arrived at Delun in just over an hour. As soon as they entered the town, they saw troops from the 11th and 12th brigades of the directly affiliated corps, one after another.

Continuously open up positions and rush to the north.

Sun Zhenbang clicked his lips and said to Battelle: "Commander Ba, look at this posture. The two brigades of the directly affiliated corps have come out in full force. The division commander has made new arrangements. I am afraid that they are heading towards the Soviet army coming out of Cullen!"

Then, he shouted to the driver, "Faster!"

Battelle pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Commander Sun, the division commander is anxious to summon us, probably because of this matter. Don't worry, the mission of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is indispensable! I am afraid that capturing Kulun will also be our main mission.

!”

After hearing Battle's words, Sun Zhenbang, who should have been eager to fight, was a little frowning. He seemed to be saying to himself: "That's fine, but in Gurbansai Khan, the troops were beaten like that, and the division commander still dared to use it with confidence.

Troops from the Outer Mongolia Field Corps? I’m afraid the division commander won’t give you this chance!”

The armored command vehicle, carrying a trail of smoke and dust, suddenly stopped in front of the headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Sun Zhenbang and Battelle jumping out of the car, he waved his hand to stop the salute of the two, and said hurriedly: "

Commander Sun, Commander Ba, and the division commander are waiting for you, come with me!"

The two came in and saw Tang Qiuli with his back to the door, standing motionless in front of a large military map of Outer Mongolia, "Report to the division commander, Commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps Sun Zhenbang, and Commander of the Independent Division Armored Corps Battelle, have been ordered to come, please."

Instructions from the teacher!" The two men stood at attention and saluted and reported loudly.

Tang Qiuli turned around and looked at Battelle first, looking at his heroic and neatly-dressed brother, with a loving look in his eyes, nodding slightly, and a satisfied smile on his lips.

Battelle stood in the most standard military posture, feeling his brother's emotions, blinking his eyes, and smiling honestly. Only in this case could he learn from this major general commander of the independent division's armored forces who was under 22 years old.

I can see the innocence and simplicity of the young man.

Tang Qiuli's eyes turned to Sun Zhenbang.
