Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 800: Fierce Battle with Ulia Sutai

Zhukov, who was leading the main force of the First Soviet Far East Army and was rushing to Hadasan day and night, concluded that Lieutenant General Vuchkov's troops had been annihilated by Tang Qiuli after not receiving any news from Lieutenant General Vuchkov overnight.

, it is meaningless for the troops to continue marching to Hadasan, and they will fall into new dangers.

At this time, the Soviet troops had crossed the Ulyasutai area, and the forwards had reached the Ukezhao line.

He ordered his troops to immediately turn around and return to the Kazadewu Mountain Pass area and wait for changes. This decision was correct. Once Tang Qiuli's main force came over, he could organize his troops to block the Kazadewu Mountain Pass. The situation

If it's dangerous, you can still return to Minusinsk.

It can advance, attack or retreat, and the troops have a huge room for maneuver. They can also regroup and make a comeback. As long as the seeds of the group army can be preserved, Zhukov will not hesitate to disobey orders, although he also knows how high the cost of doing so is.

The Soviet forward troops, the 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division, who received the order from the Army Group Headquarters, immediately changed their marching direction. The troops were busy making a U-turn. The leading troops of the directly subordinate corps, two tank brigades, and three mechanized infantry brigades.

, has arrived at the Ukezhao line south of Uliasutai.

The forward troops directly under the corps ran into the retreating Soviet army. The troops did not hesitate at all and immediately launched an attack. Two tank brigades with more than 500 tanks formed two parallel attack arrows and directly attacked the Soviet army's formation.

Suddenly disrupting the Soviet army's formation, the following three infantry brigades, followed by the tank troops, also rushed in.

Tang Qiuli, who was at the rear of the corps, received a report from the forward troops: "Division commander, our troops have exchanged fire with the Soviet army, have disrupted their formation, and are heading for a deep assault. The Soviet advance troops have fallen into chaos, and the battle is progressing.

smoothly."

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed that he had captured Zhukov's troops, so he couldn't let go. These guys were brave enough to fight. With the strength of two tank brigades and three infantry brigades, they dared to attack Zhukov's hundreds of thousands of troops.

?Actually, the forward troops are backed by the main force. Otherwise, even if you give them some courage, they would not dare to rush into the large Soviet army of hundreds of thousands.

Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order: "The third and fourth tank brigades, the first and second artillery brigades, the first, second, and third infantry brigades will detour to the left flank of the Soviet army. The first and second tank brigades, the third and fourth artillery brigades,

Brigades, the 4th, 5th, and 6th infantry brigades, will detour to the Soviet right wing, and the rest of the troops will press forward from the front. All troops should pay attention. If you bite Zhukov, you will win."

The battle happened unexpectedly and broke out suddenly. Under the fierce attack of the forward troops of the directly affiliated corps, the Soviet 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division was quickly defeated. The Soviet soldiers turned around and ran back.

Zhukov looked at the telegram from the avant-garde troops asking for help and sighed. After all, he had not escaped the fate of a decisive battle with Tang Qiuli's main force. The troops could no longer retreat. If it turned into a scene of being chased by Tang Qiuli's main force, the entire

The group army will be defeated and chased by Chinese soldiers.

"Order that all troops immediately build fortifications on the spot. The 1st and 2nd tank divisions adopt a wedge-shaped attack formation and immediately attack the enemy in the front. All artillery units set up artillery positions on the spot. Forty minutes later, the artillery attack begins.

All units of the Chinese Army must hold their positions, and those who retreat without orders will be shot on the spot." Zhukov also took the risk, and fought to the death with Tang Qiuli right here.

His intention is to use the tank troops as an impact force to carry out counter-attacks, block the frontal attacking Chinese troops, and buy time for the infantry and artillery to build fortifications. If the effect is good, they can defeat the long-distance march and rush into battle.

The Chinese ** team.

Tang Qiuli, who was on the command vehicle, saw through the telescope that two Soviet divisions of armored troops and more than 800 tanks formed four attack formations and rushed over. Oh, Zhukov is going to fight with all his strength.

The enemy who wants to attack my attacking troops with tanks while I am still on a weak footing has the courage and commanding skills.

"Order that the forward troops retreat immediately. The fifth tank brigade immediately moves forward three kilometers to the frontal attack force and is on standby. After the Soviet tanks attack, it immediately retreats. The fifth and sixth artillery brigades immediately prepare to bombard the Soviet tanks.

Group, all anti-tank gun units, enter the attack position and leave all these Soviet tanks behind." Tang Qiuli issued a series of orders.

Knock off Zhukov's attacking fist and see what else he can use to carry out a counter-attack. The sudden outbreak of battle is a comprehensive consideration of the commanding art of the commanders on both sides, their ability to adapt to battle and battlefield judgment, and it is also a training for the soldiers of both sides.

A test of level, fighting will, and individual soldier quality.

The battlefield situation was chaotic. Both Tang Qiuli and Zhukov realized that whoever launched the attack first might gain the initiative and disrupt the other side's deployment. Zhukov placed all his hopes on the two tank divisions.

The situation on the battlefield was not subject to personal will. The retreating soldiers of the 6th Motorized Guards Infantry Division brought panic to all the troops. They ran around talking about it. All kinds of rumors spread quickly as if they had grown legs.

The Soviet army, especially the Chinese Communist Army, has countless tanks. All Soviet soldiers know the power of tanks, which are weapons that the Soviet army often relies on.

The Soviet troops who are accustomed to using tanks to attack others are more likely to have a panic mentality when faced with enemy tank attacks. Although this kind of psychology does not break out, it is like a poisonous mushroom in a dark corner, spreading uncontrollably in the hearts of Soviet soldiers.

.

Two divisions of Soviet tanks soon appeared on the horizon of the prairie. With loud roars and black smoke from their engines, they pressed forward like a dark cloud. Chinese tanks appeared in front of them, and they were much smaller in number.

, there are only about 500 tanks. Is this all the tanks of the Chinese Army?

After exchanging opinions, the commanders of the two Soviet tank divisions decided to resolutely fulfill the order of the comrade commander and defeat the frontal attacking squadron. Even if the entire army was annihilated, they would still buy enough time for the infantry and artillery.

The tanks of the Chinese ** team were close to shooting distance. All Soviet tank crews received orders to annihilate the Chinese tank troops at any cost. A strange thing happened. The Chinese tanks

When I turned around and ran back, the shells fired by the Soviet tanks all landed behind the Chinese tanks.

The "Idou" series tanks equipped with high-power engines can run much faster than the "T-31" tanks currently in service in the Soviet army. Seeing the Chinese tanks disappear under a hillside,

All the Soviet tanks were chasing at full speed.

Zhukov, who was paying close attention to the battlefield situation, had noticed the abnormal situation encountered by the attacking tank troops. He immediately called the commanders of the two tank divisions, "Order you to break away from the battle and retreat immediately to guard against the Chinese conspiracy." Zhukov

He is smart and reacts quickly.

While the Soviet tanks were busy turning around, the artillery group of the directly affiliated corps that had been prepared, under the command of commander Zheng Yong, carried out a covering artillery bombardment on the Soviet tank group. The shells shattered the Soviet tanks.

Shrouded in smoke.

The anti-tank gun detachment that came forward took this opportunity to start hunting. These anti-tank gun shooters were very skilled in hitting the tracks of Soviet tanks. Since they had artillery to help them, they were not afraid of Soviet tanks rushing over.

One Soviet tank lost its ability to move.

In a battle between tanks, artillery and anti-tank guns, the two divisions of Soviet tank troops retreated in defeat, leaving behind more than 600 tanks. More than 200 tanks were blown into fireballs by the fierce artillery fire, and the rest were

Yes, it was hit by an anti-tank gun on the track, and it was paralyzed and spinning in place.

Zhukov closed his eyes in pain. His armored assault force had been exhausted after the Kazadwu blockade and the losses just now. He still had less than 700 tanks in hand. What else could he use to counterattack the Chinese attack?

What about artillery? Judging from the intensity of artillery fire from the squadron just now, Tang Qiuli has more artillery than himself.

"Order, the troops of the First Guards Army immediately seize the Kazadewu Pass and be ready to cover the retreat of the group army at any time." Zhukov had not yet lost his position. He was afraid that the retreat would be cut off, so he decisively issued the order.

"Report to Comrade Commander, a large number of Chinese ** troops were found on the left and right wings of our troops, moving quickly," a staff officer reported eagerly. This was another bad news. Zhukov was startled, "What? Chinese **

The troops are outflanking me on both sides. Tang Qiuli has a big appetite. It may not be that easy to surround me."

"Order, the 2nd and 3rd Far East Red Flag Infantry Corps to immediately launch a counter-attack against the Chinese ** troops that have detoured to our left wing. The 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th Motorized Guards Divisions will immediately launch a counterattack against the detouring Chinese Army Corps.

To our center right wing, carry out counter-assault, the 5th Motorized Guards Division and all tank units,

All artillery units immediately counterattack the frontal attack of the Squadron ** and tell the commanders of all units that this is a battle related to the life and death of our group army. Resolutely break the Squadron **'s attempt to surround us. Fight, brave Red Army.

"Soldiers," Zhukov issued a series of orders crisply.

The all-out battle started at dusk, and the Uliasutai area was a mess. Tang Qiuli commanded the 280,000 troops of the directly affiliated corps to encircle the 160,000 troops commanded by Zhukov and annihilate the First Far East Army in one fell swoop.

The main force, Zhukov, must break the encirclement formed by Tang Qiuli so that the 160,000 Soviet troops can have a chance of survival.

The two sides invested a total of more than 400,000 troops in a desperate fight. As night fell, the Uliasutai grassland was shrouded in darkness. Artillery fire from both sides turned half of the sky red. Zhukov devoted all the remaining tanks to the anti-encirclement battle. The number

The Chinese tank force, which had an absolute advantage, quickly submerged these Soviet tanks in the torrent of armor.
