Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli's eyes did not change. They were still kind and warm, with sincerity in their plainness. Perhaps it was his mood that was causing trouble, but Sun Zhenbang could see faint blame and dissatisfaction in his teacher's eyes. And, although there was no

However, the doubts that he could feel were not doubts about his loyalty, but doubts about the entire Outer Mongolia Field Corps, more than 200,000 soldiers, and his ability to command.

Sun Zhenbang felt a sharp pain in his heart like a knife, and his face turned a little pale, "Commander, I request that I be severely punished. In the northern battle of Saiyinshanda, the encirclement and annihilation battle turned into a pursuit battle, and the Gurbansai Khan blocking battle,

The Soviet army almost broke out of the siege. The third brigade suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The brigade commander Rao Zhonghan was killed in action. It was all caused by my poor command. I am ashamed of the division commander and the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps."

"Especially, during the battle, there were deserters. It is because my usual dealings and training are not enough. Please ask the division commander to relieve me from my post and send another capable commander to take over the position of commander of the corps. I will reflect deeply.

"Sun Zhenbang's tone was as heavy as a boulder. Whether it was Tang Qiuli, Zhao Yuhe or Battelle, everyone could hear the sorrow and self-blame from his heart, as well as the sincerity in his tone.

The strange look in Tang Qiuli's eyes disappeared in a flash. It was expected that Sun Zhenbang would ask for punishment. However, he took the initiative to relieve himself from his post, which was completely unexpected. The battlefield of the Seyin Shanda battle was complicated.

Changes occurred repeatedly, which he did not expect, and the Gurbansai Khan's blocking battle was dangerous and dangerous, which was an undue change. But is all this really Sun Zhenbang's responsibility?

After receiving the report on the battle situation, Tang Qiuli also asked himself such a question. Speaking of which, it only took about half a year from the formation of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to the time it was launched on the battlefield. During this period, it did not experience any battle.

In this large-scale battle, if Vasilevskiy's Outer Mongolian Front Army had not launched an overwhelming offensive against Saiyinshanda, such troops that had not been baptized by the flames of war would never have taken to the battlefield.

Moreover, when they first entered the battlefield, they were involved in large-scale battles. The troops of the Independent Division had never experienced such an experience. They all started from small-scale battles and gradually honed themselves into the main force they are today. From this perspective

He said that the biggest person responsible should be himself. Did he believe too much in Sun Zhenbang's commanding ability and the combat effectiveness of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps? That's why he let Sun Zhenbang command the battle alone?

Tang Qiuli sighed silently, waved his hand, and stopped Sun Zhenbang's next words, "Zhenbang, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Flaws cannot be concealed. Regardless of the losses of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps in the battle, the thirty-seven Soviet troops were completely annihilated.

A group army is an indisputable fact. In war, no one can guarantee that there will be no casualties in the troops. This is the iron law of war. People will die in war!"

"Don't blame yourself——!" Seeing Sun Zhenbang's face full of shame, as if he was about to say something, Tang Qiuli stopped him again, and then greeted: "Zhenbang, Battle, come, sit down and talk!" Turning his head

He said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, tell the cooking team to prepare some hearty meals for the two commanders! - Just after the battle, I hurriedly transferred you two here. You must not have filled your stomachs!"

The atmosphere relaxed. Tang Qiuli took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. Light blue smoke rose up, covering his face a little hazy, "Zhenbang, any army starts from a battle."

In this bloody battle, some of the people who fought hard were

A few deserters, isn't it a shocking big deal? A big wave washes away the sand. Only in the constant battle of blood and fire, those soldiers who are not determined will be eliminated. The remaining ones are all elites. An army can be defeated.

The main force!"

The words were serious and thoughtful, seeming to explain a rule, and also seemed to be trying to persuade Sun Zhenbang, "However, Zhenbang, in this battle, your character weakness has also been exposed, that is, you are too eager to achieve success and prove yourself. If, at the beginning of the battle,

Previously, when the outflanking troops on both wings reached their positions, the frontal attacking troops would launch an attack again, and the result would be very different, so there would be no more Gurbansai Khan blockade battle with greater losses!"

"As a general, the most fearful thing is to be impetuous and behave in a panic. For example, can Zheng Yong's artillery unit be postponed for another day to launch a devastating bombardment against the Soviet army? Furthermore, can it fight with the Soviet army for several days?

, to buy more time for the outflanking troops on both sides. Of course, this is also my responsibility. I did not remind you and Battelle in time." The few words of the division commander's heartfelt words shook Sun Zhenbang's heart like a lightning strike.

Since the establishment of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, Sun Zhenbang has had a wish to become the main force capable of fighting in various places. Just like those old main field corps, he is eager to fight big battles and win them. He also hopes to become famous in one battle.

On the surface, it is a soldier's sense of honor. From another perspective, it is not eager for success. Although Sun Zhenbang does not admit this, the division commander's words are like thunder and lightning, piercing the depths of his heart and hiding them.

one side.

With beads of sweat on his forehead, Sun Zhenbang stood up suddenly, "Sir, I——!" His voice was choked with sobs.

Tang Qiuli smiled gently and greeted: "Zhenbang, sit down and talk, if you say anything, there will be no knots in your heart. Don't look ashamed, let alone carry psychological baggage. My subordinates, Tang Qiuli, are not pussies."

The role of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps, please cheer up. Next, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps will have a big battle and a tough battle to fight!"

Sun Zhenbang did not sit down. When he heard the division commander's words, he was shocked and asked in disbelief: "Commander, do you still believe in the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and me, Sun Zhenbang?"

Tang Qiuli was surprised and said in confusion: "Why don't you trust your Outer Mongolia Field Corps and you Sun Zhenbang? Aren't you worthy of my trust, Tang Qiuli?"

"But - in Gurbansai Khan... we lost a brigade commander - and also lost more than 10,000 people... I -!" Sun Zhenbang was a little incoherent and didn't know.

What should I say?

Tang Qiuli's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, and his face and tone became much more serious, "Zhenbang, getting entangled in the past is not something a man would do, let alone a qualified soldier. Let's sum up experience and lessons, so as to

We will fight again. We learned war in each war without carrying any baggage. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps participated in the war for the first time and achieved the result of annihilating an enemy group army, which is commendable!"

Sun Zhenbang looked ashamed, and Tang Qiuli continued: "The Outer Mongolia Field Corps has more than 200,000 soldiers, who have been fighting for days and nights without sleep. It can be said that they are exhausted. Originally, the war will stop. After the victory,

The troops should rest and regroup and celebrate their victory, but Cullen’s Soviet army won’t let us rest, so I summoned you two in a hurry!”

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle suddenly stood up, looked at Tang Qiuli with shining eyes, and said in unison: "Please give the order, commander! The troops can take action immediately!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit down. Then, in front of the military map, he pointed at Cullen's position and said: "Cullen's 35th Soviet Army Group is in order to rescue the 37th Army that was trapped in the encirclement.

, sent two armies southward, one of which was less than a hundred kilometers away from Delenn. After learning that the 37th Group Army had been completely wiped out, it was eager to withdraw to Cullen."

"The Soviet army is about to withdraw. I have ordered the 11th and 12th brigades of the directly affiliated corps to set out to entangle the Soviet troops in this corps. The task of your Outer Mongolia Field Corps is to eat this Soviet army, and then,

Take Coulomb directly, annihilate the 35th Soviet Army Group as quickly as possible, and occupy Coulomb. I will not intervene in the specific battle command, and you two can fight freely!"

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle looked at each other and saw the high fighting spirit in each other's eyes. Sun Zhenbang in particular was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. "The division commander still trusts me, Sun Zhenbang, and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps!" He was emotional.

’ thought secretly.

Tang Qiuli looked at Sun Zhenbang and Battelle, whose eyes were shining, and said with a smile: "When I heard about the war, I was very energetic. You should understand the purpose of this Kulun battle. Kulun is a battle between the battlefields of Outer Mongolia and the Far East.

A nail between the battlefields, the 35th Soviet Army Group

The army is entrenched here, and by looking eastward, it can threaten our troops in the Far East commanded by Deputy Commander Liu, and march westward to contain the six brigades of the directly affiliated corps and pursue the retreating troops of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front. If this nail is not removed,

Our two major battlefields cannot be combined into one!"

At this point, Tang Qiuli paused and seemed to have some other ideas, "Although a Soviet army group with more than 100,000 troops cannot cause much trouble on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, it will still be a threat if it is retained.

, it was the place of the Fourth War. When Zhenbang was in charge of Outer Mongolia, Kulun was not a military fortress, so the Soviet army’s city defense in Kulun did not have that many solid defense systems.”

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle listened intently, and Tang Qiuli continued: "The key to the battle is to try to annihilate the Soviet army's effective forces in the wild. If you move quickly enough, the Soviet troops of the other army will withdraw to Kulun.

before the city

, can also seize, big detours, big outflanks, are we good at it? Next, the battle to capture Cullen will be much easier. Of course, this is my suggestion. Before you are sure, don't rush forward, rather fight steadily.

, advance step by step!”

Tang Qiuli's words, in fact, opened up an idea for Sun Zhenbang and Battelle. He was afraid that Sun Zhenbang had a psychological shadow. The northern battle of Seyinshanda and the subsequent pursuit battle were both thrilling and suffered heavy casualties. He was afraid that Sun Zhenbang would have some psychological problems.

Scruples, unable to let go.
