Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 766: Eastern Art of War

The Outer Mongolian Cavalry Regiment stationed at Saiyinshanda on the main road to Kulun was surrounded and disarmed by Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade. No news came back from the border. Saiyinshanda's actual military commander,

The regiment political commissar, the Soviet officer Askov, relaxed his vigilance,

We must also thank him and his boss, Lieutenant General Mikovsky, commander of the Soviet Far East Special Forces, for not taking this important information seriously due to their long-standing contempt for the Chinese.

Directly under the corps, they advanced to Saiyinsanda without any hindrance.{}

Askov, the political commissar of the regiment, was on his way to meet his lover when he was startled by the signal soldier who slammed into him. Before he could scold him, the signal soldier said out of breath: "Report to the political commissar, a large number of people were attacked."

The ** team has arrived outside the city," Askov grabbed the communications soldier by the collar and yelled: "Say it again?" Saying it several times can't change the fact that the ** team is approaching Seinshanda.

fact.

There was no sound of gunfire, no declaration of war, the squadron appeared out of thin air and advanced hundreds of kilometers on the land of Outer Mongolia. It was like entering an uninhabited land. It was so terrible. War, war was coming. Askov shouted to the signal corps.

He shouted: "Quick, sound the alarm, assemble all the troops in the city, immediately establish a blocking line, and report to the military headquarters that the Chinese are invading." He also had a trump card in his hand, which was a Soviet infantry battalion, which was his biggest support.

.

In the city of Saiyinsanda, the siren wailed shrilly, and Askov rushed to the south of the city. In the desert wilderness, countless lights pierced the twilight grassland like sharp swords, and the roar of the engine came like a tsunami.

Skov was dumbfounded at the time. This was not a cavalry force. It was a large force that had always been completely mechanized. The Chinese had really taken action in Outer Mongolia.

The Soviet infantry battalion hurried to the position. Looking at the lights all over the field, the Soviet soldiers were dumbfounded. A heavy machine gun team asked the political commissar of the regiment for instructions on which direction the heavy machine gun position should be set up. Askov became furious and said, "Idiot, where are the lights?"

"It will be concentrated wherever it is located." This is nonsense. The Soviet soldiers were dazzled by the lights all over the place, so how could they tell the key shooting directions?

Hearing the siren sound in Saiyinsanda City, Tang Qiuli knew that this was probably the Soviet infantry battalion mentioned by the special operations team. Then I would give him a hard hit and let the Soviets see my determination. He ordered:

"The 1st Tank Brigade will cover the 1st Regiment of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and the 2nd Regiment will attack. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Cavalry Brigades will immediately encircle Sayinsanda. Remember, don't let go of a single Soviet soldier before attacking."

In the darkness of the night, the heavy machine guns on the Soviet army's position were the first to roar. Then, the gunshots rang out like exploding beans. The Soviet army opened fire first. Although the shadow of the Chinese soldiers had not been seen yet, the rolling tanks alone were enough to scare the enemy.

They were heartbroken. The bullets hit the armor of the tank, sparks bursting out. The steel monster continued to move forward unscathed and rushed towards the Soviet position.

Thirty minutes later, the battle ended. A pure infantry battalion without anti-tank weapons or heavy artillery was the opponent of this armored torrent. Most of the Soviet troops in one battalion were killed, and the rest were killed while fleeing to the direction of Cullen.

The cavalry unit captured Askov, the regimental political commissar, who was shot nine times and died on the spot. The Soviet army was annihilated.

At about eight o'clock that night, the ** Division troops entered Saiyinshanda, and the first gate leading to Kulun was easily opened. Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade took on the task of guarding, maintaining public order, and appeasing local residents.

, this is a small town, with only more than a thousand households in total. It is similar to ordinary towns in the mainland, but its prosperity is far behind. This is a relatively large city in Outer Mongolia.

The Soviet prisoners were transported back to the Erlianhot prisoner-of-war camp overnight. That night, Tang Qiuli held a military meeting to deploy the next action plan. Chief of Staff Chang Feng and the brigade commanders suggested that the troops should be divided into multiple routes immediately, with Saiyinsanda as the center.

Attack and advance in two directions: east and west, seize key points, and occupy vast areas. The main force continues to attack in the direction of Kulun and engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Soviet and Mongolian troops.

Tang Qiuli shook his head. There are more than 200,000 troops in total. It is not suitable to divide the troops. The main force of the Soviet and Mongolian troops has not been eliminated. No matter how many places are occupied, it is useless. The scattered troops will be easily besieged by the opponent's superior forces. There are also

One thing is what he fears the most. The Soviet Air Force is definitely much stronger than his own. The scattered troops are difficult to handle in air defense. Without air defense fire cover, they can only be a living target for Soviet aircraft.

The military theory of Europeans is definitely different from that of the Chinese. They advocate decisive battles with large corps and the main force, focusing on siege and occupying land. Capturing a big city often means the end of the battle. For military points like Saiyinsanda, the capital

The Soviet army will never give up the important gateway of Cullen easily and will inevitably fight for it repeatedly. Tomorrow, we should be able to see the shadow of the Soviet army.

His eyes fell on Hujiert, thirty kilometers north of Saiyinsanda. This was the only terrain that could be used. According to the map, there were dense jungles and complex terrain that could be used. An ambush was set up here.

, a sudden attack on the Soviet and Mongolian troops who were eager to recapture Saiyinshanda, and let them know how the Chinese used their troops. However, Tang Qiuli was not confident about the map, so it was better to check it on the spot.

The senior generals got into the car one after another, and Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "What? In just a few days, we have forgotten our old profession. Riding in a car is more comfortable than riding a horse." Only then did everyone realize that the commander had already

Riding on a maroon horse, he quickly jumped out of the car with his tongue hanging out, and dozens of people rode out of the city and headed straight for Hujirt.

When we arrived at the place, everyone was amazed. God had given us a good place for an ambush. It was more real than the map, and the terrain was more complex. We could ambush hundreds of thousands of people without any problems at all. Indeed, the landforms in Outer Mongolia are either Gobi or grassland.

, there are not many places for ambush, but it is very suitable for mechanized large group operations, especially suitable for large-scale assaults by tank groups.

If he were facing any warlord or Japanese in the country, Tang Qiuli would never choose this place for an ambush. The terrain was too conspicuous and too abrupt. Orientals who were deeply influenced by Sun Tzu's art of war would know that this was a military strategist without even looking.

A taboo and dangerous place, now that we are facing the Soviets, this kind of terrain can be exploited.

They were all veterans of ambushes and were well versed in ambush. Under Chang Feng's leadership, each unit quickly selected their respective ambush positions. They followed the division commander's consistent principles and used the most ferocious firepower to give the opponent the biggest blow, a stick.

Going down would have to make the Soviets vomit at least half of their blood.

The artillery position adopts an arc-shaped configuration on two wings, extending for more than ten kilometers. The air defense troops are behind the artillery position, supporting an air defense fire net for the artillery, and covering the infantry position, specifically to deal with Soviet aircraft. The infantry is deployed covertly at the front, and the cavalry troops are deployed at the front.

Under the command of Liu Chun, they continued to move north of Hujirt in a covert manner, preparing to intercept the retreating Soviet army.

All units were nervously arranging their forces and allocating firepower points according to the deployment of Chief of Staff Chang Feng. The commanders of the five tank brigades looked at Tang Qiuli with a grimace, "Division Commander, all the units have ambush locations, but we are here.

There are more than 1,500 tanks. How can such a big thing be concealed? Besides, the tutorial didn’t say that tanks are used for ambushes? Let’s do it head-on.”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "How can I still stump you invulnerable steel monsters? Go to the sky or the earth, go into the forest, drill into caves, there is nowhere to hide you. I don't care how you hide the tanks. After the bombardment, I will use the tank swarm to completely destroy you."

The Soviet army's will to resist cannot complete the mission. You should figure out what to do on your own as the Huangyadong base is short of pig breeders. Minister Zhang has already asked for them several times." After saying this, he never looked at the stunned tank brigade commanders again.

They glanced at each other and walked away.

The commanders of several tank brigades were stunned for a while. The division commander's meaning was very clear. After the shelling, the tank troops should charge ahead of the infantry. When they were pressed, there was a way. The tanks drove into the forest, and the dense trees broke off their branches and killed the tanks.

Even the cannon barrel is covered, thickly

Fallen leaves cover the whole body of the steel monster, or simply drive dozens of tanks into a valley, covered by branches. Don’t waste it if there is a deep pit. Dig a ramp that is easy to drive out, hide a few tanks in it, and put it in.

Falling trees to cover it creates a natural shelter.

After a busy night, anyway, at about five o'clock in the morning, there was no more soldiers, soldiers or vehicles in the huge Hujiert Mountains. Tang Qiuli was worried and led Chang Feng on horseback through the ambush area.

The telescope searched carefully and found nothing unusual. He was very satisfied. He was a little curious about how so many tanks could be hidden. Chang Feng whispered a few words in his ear. Tang Qiuli laughed. He would definitely win this battle.

The sun rises, and mist rises from the summer grassland. The clouds are full of water vapor, soaking the clothes of the lurking warriors. The Hujiert Mountains and the surrounding large grasslands shroud everything in hazy clouds. In the morning

Around nine o'clock, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the grassland stretched as far as the eye could see. The field of vision was extremely wide. In the sky, there was the roar of engines. Two Soviet aircraft flew over the Hujirt Mountains at low altitude, flying in the direction of Saiyinsanda.

go.

Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze and said to Chang Feng: "This is a reconnaissance plane of the Soviet Army. Inform Tong Batu to make the trick more realistic." Chang Feng immediately called Tong Batu. At this time, in Saiyinshanda City, basically everything was

It is an empty city, with only Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade stationed here.

According to the order of the division commander, the second brigade wanted to give the illusion that the large force was still in Saiyinshanda. The soldiers galloped on the few streets in the city. Outside the city, a large number of cavalry came in and out. Starting from the time when the troops entered the city,

Martial law was imposed throughout the city, no one was allowed to enter or leave, every house was searched, and hidden Soviet spy radio stations were strictly guarded. Whether the division commander's plan could be realized depended on not exposing the whereabouts of the main force.

Tong Batu looked at the sky with a telescope, received a call from the chief of staff, and ordered to the staff beside him: "Convey my order, and the regiments will deploy according to the planned plan." There was a lot of busyness inside and outside Sayinshanda City. The Soviet army

The roar of the reconnaissance plane is getting closer and closer.
