Chapter 968: The counterattack of the 19th Infantry Regiment

The frightened war horses scattered and fled, during which they trampled to death and injured many Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry was also startled by the shouting of the **** people, especially the attack ability of the squadron at night far exceeded them, and made them feel that the Chinese were the devil. The Cossacks rushed in panic with their sabers or their compatriots in the dark, frightened, frightened, and dazed, and popped up in the hearts of the Cossacks, but were killed and wounded countless by Chinese submachine guns, light machine guns and Minjiu rifles.

But the fearless and decisive charge of the Cossacks sometimes played a decisive role in some respects - the Chinese killed all the Russian soldiers they saw at the first time, and there was no torture of prisoners.

Of course, some of the Russians rushed into the middle of the Chinese soldiers with swords, and the Chinese soldiers were forced to fight with bayonets, but the Chinese soldiers did not frighten to fight, and they fought bravely so that one by one the Cossack cavalry bled and fell to the ground and died.

The Cossacks thought that the Chinese would be afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but they were wrong, and although the Chinese defense force military discouraged hand-to-hand combat, the Chinese' fearless sacrifice was often more feared in battle. Some Chinese soldiers were cut off half of their bodies by sabers, and when they were dying, they hugged the Soviet soldiers and asked other brothers to kill the Russians, and some were stabbed and held on to the bayonets to prevent the Russians from pulling them out, and heroically used their lives to die with the Russians.

The blood of the Chinese will not be shed in vain, and the blood of the Chinese will be stirred and boiling.

The Cossacks saw what the Eastern War was, what the Eastern sacrifices were, and the greatest feature of the Eastern War was precisely the spirit of self-sacrifice.

The war of Western countries is brave and rational. But the war in the countries of the East is one of sacrifice and passion, and another interpretation of passion is a hot head. For example, the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in another time and space was the hot mind of the Japanese army. Excessive passion, clamoring for three months to destroy China, but as a result, he fell into the Chinese battlefield and could not pull it out. For another example, in the Battle of Songhu, the squadron was more than passionate but not rational, and fighting the Japanese army within the range of the guns of the Japanese Navy battleships in Songhu was not an impulse to only care about blood and sacrifice and ignore the overall strategic situation?

The Cossacks, believing that their opponents were too strong, scattered and fled. And the commander of the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division, Helms. Feng. Panwitz ordered the panicked soldiers to follow him and flee westward. But the 10th Division of the Chinese Wehrmacht began the battle at 0:00 a.m., and when the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division fled into the desert, it brought them an even more miserable world - they had no supplies. There was no water, no food, not even weapons and ammunition to take away, and eventually died of thirst and starvation in the desert. Become a dry bone. Perhaps explorers a hundred years later will find their remains in the desert.

The 10th Division won the first battle, and the battle lasted for eight hours from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m., killing more than 2,000 Cossack cavalrymen, capturing more than 2,000 people, capturing more than 3,000 horses, and about 6 or 700 Soviet Cossack cavalrymen who fled to the desert - this was irrelevant, and most importantly, the chief of staff of the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division, Lyubihevich, was captured alive.

Qiao Sanbang is worthy of being born with a lucky halo. used the infantry division to directly destroy one of the opponent's cavalry divisions in a battle, and also captured the opponent's chief of staff alive. The generals don't have to say anything else. Just seeing the luck of their commander, he unconsciously shook his head and sighed: Grandma, how can the head of our division be like that Tang Cheng biting gold, he is born a lucky general. When we arrived at the battlefield at 8 o'clock in the evening, when the enemy relaxed his guard, he destroyed one of the opponent's cavalry divisions with a pure infantry division, and after fighting all night, his own casualties were only more than 600 -- it was a bit embarrassing to say, more than 300 of the 600 Chinese soldiers were killed and wounded by their own stray bullets in the dark of night -- but Qiao Sanbang was so lucky that he won the sneak attack on the cavalry at night.

Looking at the messy battlefield and the prisoners sitting on the ground decadently, as well as the piled up ordnance, the battle flag of the victorious 10th Division was flying high on the top of a sand dune, Qiao San grinned and crossed his waist and laughed, and said to the chief of staff Hou Dingxian unashamedly: "Send a telegram to tell everyone, saying that our 10th Division wiped out a cavalry division of the Soviet Army and captured their chief of staff alive, what is it called, what is it strange, wahahaha......" He smirked and shouted: "I want to compose a poem, I see that there are so many Maozi from a distance, Looking closely, there are indeed a lot of Maozi, why did Lao Maozi surrender so much, because they met me! Good poetry, good poetry, I'm so fucking talented. ”

The staff officers looked at each other, crying and laughing, Hou Dingxian did not comment on this stinky limerick poem, but said: "Our war with the Soviet army is a dark war, and we also sent a telegram, you must not be scolded to death by Xiushuai." The telegraph operator sent a secret telegram to the Western Regions Military District Command and the National Defense Forces Command to report the results of the battle. ”

"Yes." Although the telegraph operators had a little contempt for their division commander, they couldn't stop their love for the division commander, perhaps because of Qiao Sanbang, a seemingly stupid person, being the division commander, this army was more energetic and creative.

The destruction of the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division took Blyukher, the commander of the Russian Eastern Army, who could not retreat under the Kizil fortress, and he desperately hoped that the army would immediately capture the Kyzyl fortress, but the Yellow Dragon Regiment of the Chinese Wehrmacht, which was in charge of the defense, gritted its teeth and once again pushed the Soviet troops back.

On the evening of the 21st, Blyukher, whose hair was suddenly half white, summoned all the commanders of the Soviet army again, and after judging that the heavy artillery shells of the squadron had run out, he ordered all the artillery of the Soviet army to regroup to form a large-scale artillery group to focus on bombing the defensive positions of the Chinese soldiers.

Also on the evening of the 21st, the commander of the fortress, Du Baosan, found Peng Weiguo, the commander of the 19th Regiment, who had been used as a reserve from the support of the 3rd Division, and Du Baosan asked him if he could risk going north along the water's edge from the backwater in the east of the city, and then detour to the Soviet encirclement troops in the north of the city to defeat the Soviet army in one fell swoop.

After Peng Weiguo watched the information, he nodded and said, "Du Junzuo, don't worry, leave it to us." ”

Du Baosan said cautiously: "There is a small swampy and sandy area in the backwater, you are still marching at night, you must pay attention to safety." ”

Peng Weiguo smiled: "This danger is nothing. He returned to the 19th Regiment and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, get up, everyone has been watching the brothers of the Yellow Dragon Legion fight these days, and now they have a task." Several of his subordinates immediately surrounded him, and Peng Weiguo said: "Our task is to sneak north quietly along the waterfront in the east of the city tonight, and make a detour to the north early tomorrow morning to give them a hard beat." ”

That night (early morning of the 22nd), the 19th Infantry Regiment quietly set out and slipped out of the city, marching east along the railroad on foot, and before reaching the Syr Darya River, in order to avoid being known about the military action by the Soviets, they suddenly rushed north into the swamp. Peng Weiguo, commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment, ordered all the soldiers to tie themselves together with ropes, and several soldiers who fell into the swamp were quickly rescued by others. Fortunately, with the moonlight shining particularly brightly today, the 19th Infantry Regiment almost suicidally crossed the swamp without a single casualty, only bypassing the loose defensive encirclement of the Soviet army.

It was already five o'clock in the morning when they came to the Syr Darya, and after observing the deployment of the Soviet army's troops on the northern front, Peng Weiguo, commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment, said to his battalion commanders and company commanders: "Now while the enemy has not discovered that we have jumped out of the encirclement, we are going to attack the 30th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army, in order to break the encirclement. The order was given to the whole regiment to write a suicide note and hand it over to the secretary general of the regiment for safekeeping. ”

After getting ready, the 19th Infantry Regiment suddenly attacked, and they unexpectedly appeared behind the Soviet 30th Infantry Division in the north of the fortress, and the rapid firepower caught the Soviet troops who had been on the attacking side by surprise.

Du Baosan, who was standing on the top of the fortress and watching, immediately ordered an attack, and in order to cooperate with the encirclement of the 19th Regiment, he even ordered his own guard battalion and two elite infantry battalions of the 39th Division Guard Battalion to launch a counter-charge against the Soviet army.

The 30th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army did not expect that the Chinese would use them as the target of the counterattack, and suddenly the formation was in chaos, and the soldiers of the three guard battalions rushed to the Soviet Russian position chanting slogans and shouting. At the same time, after breaking through the Soviet positions, an offensive was launched to the east and west. Blyukhel did not expect that the Chinese would suddenly give them a counter-charge today, where did this unit (19 regiment) come from? Could it be that reinforcements from the Chinese have arrived?

Soon the unfortunate news reached the Soviet command, the commander of the 30th Infantry Division was killed by the Chinese, a Chinese soldier hit the headquarters of the 30th Infantry Division with a grenade, and the division commander, deputy division commander, political commissar and chief of staff were all killed, it can be said that this accidental shot directly caused the collapse of the 30th Infantry Division.

Du Baosan was excited, and immediately ordered the 112th He Yaozu Brigade to immediately enter the northern offensive, and He Yaozu's troops took the opportunity to attack the 4th and 51st Infantry Divisions of the Petrograd Infantry Division of the Soviet Army. However, the Soviet army's defense of the Syr Darya River was very tenacious, and they once again routed the squadron that tried to occupy the river to obtain water, and repelled the 114 Brigade sent by Du Baosan at the opportunity, and Chen Shi, the commander of the 341st Regiment, was directly hit by a Soviet shell and fell to death.

But in any case, the counterattack of the squadron finally achieved an exciting effect, breaking the encirclement of the Soviet army, and the squadron had the opportunity to escape to the northern desert, but escaping into the desert was also equivalent to suicide, the significance of this battle was greater than the real effect, and the psychological damage to the Soviet army was more direct.
