623 We are surrounded
"This is a huge yin plot! This is definitely a yin plot!" Apaneseko furiously said again.
It was already dawn, but the defense line of the vanguard army ahead still did not break through. Although the second trench had been broken through around 6 a.m., there was a third trench system in front of the tired Soviet soldiers, like chains stuck around their necks.
Apanesenko felt Feng Ji Knot on his neck tie his thick neck, making him almost suffocate. He untied Feng Ji Knot, but the depression in his heart was the information he had just dropped.
Several departments have sent information to each other, confirming one thing: he seems to be surrounded.
When I heard about this information in the early morning, I thought it was a joke.
"Just because of thousands of Chinese people, they still want to surround us?" Even the rational chief of staff Smorodinov felt that this was an insult to the Soviet army. In his opinion, even if the Chinese people arranged 10,000 people behind them, it would be just a disturbance. Even if they occupied the empty city in the rear defense, they would be destroyed for a while and then driven away by the Soviet soldiers who were rescued.
But everything could not seem to have become a reality. With the arrival of dawn, the vanguard army has also ushered in a larger-scale attack from all over the country.
According to the latest and most accurate information, cities north of Sainshanda along the supply road have basically fallen. Without the cover of night, the Pioneer Army's street combat tactics are more sharp than Soviet soldiers who are also unfamiliar with the local terrain. Even Ulan Uto struggled for most of the night and finally fell into a large-scale attack on a brigade-level organization of the Pioneer Army at 7:15 am.
At 7:15 a.m., on the entire outer grassland behind the Soviet soldiers, the number of vanguard troops arranged in various places exceeded 40,000. In one night, the vanguard troops airlifted 30,000 people.
There seemed to be a small number of 40,000 people, but the soldiers from the First and Third Legions quickly changed their clothes in preparation for the sub-base. The combat effectiveness of the 40,000 soldiers armed in armor increased sharply several times, which was far from what the 56th Division went to suppress the bandits. At around 6:30 in the morning, the main force of the 56th Division was surrounded by more than 200 tiger and leopard tanks and more than 300 multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles near Elag. In just over an hour, the 56th Division, which was not satisfied with the organization, had lost its 8,000 troops.
The 56th Division heading north was broken, and the 94th Division of the 36th Army of the Outer Baikal Front, which came south from the Su-Méng border, was also blocked by more and more tigers and leopards near the small river tributaries of the SèLeng River north of Sukhbattal.
At two important transport intersections near those rivers, only 15 tiger kings were entrenched at the throat of the bridge. They blocked the 94th Division, which was roaring among the kings, for four hours, and it was difficult to advance. The 94th Division used the heaviest 122 cannons to destroy only one tiger king's armor, and other large and small cannons were even more overwhelming.
The other tiger kings wandered from time to time for a few times, which made the Soviet gunners lose their accurate targets and completely crazy.
Then more and more tiger tanks and Black Panther tanks directly failed to make the Soviet soldiers' plan to circumnavigate the river. No one could have successfully built a pontoon bridge on the river under the eye of many tigers and leopards. After dawn, the Il-10 attack aircraft hovering in the air cut off their last thought of smuggling.
Even though the 93rd Division of the 36th Army was rushing, there was still no sign of a possible breakthrough in the information received by Apanashenko. Because the Pioneer Army was also increasing its troops, the shadows of dark cloud-like transport aircraft that could be seen in the sky made Apanashenko's heart sink. After the news that Altanbu Xilei and Mandah, who were close to Sainshanda, were also occupied by the Pioneer Army, he finally discovered that the army outside the Soviet expedition he led was really surrounded.
"It was the Chinese who colluded with the Chinese to plan this plan! We fell into their trap!" Apaneseko still couldn't believe that the Chinese could transport so many tanks. The number of at least 500 Chinese tank armored vehicles that the Soviet intelligence agencies learned about was stuck behind them, which made him feel powerless to fight back, and he was even more convinced that it was the foreigners who colluded with the Chinese and set up an ambush in advance.
Obviously many people also had the same idea. The officers who were following the Soviet Union Expeditionary Force were detained immediately, and even the two foreign cavalry divisions used as cannon fodder were controlled. During this process, hundreds of people were shot directly due to resistance and various reasons.
The chaos in the foreign troops was quickly suppressed, but the chaos in the Soviet troops had just begun.
"We need to break back with all our might, otherwise with the increasing number of Chinese troops behind us, we may be surrounded and will never go back." At the senior officer meeting, someone took the lead in attacking.
The news that the city behind was attacked and even fell by the vanguard army was not concerned at first. The troubles of the people would eventually be cleared, and the passage behind them would eventually be opened. Their attention was still the task of driving the Chinese to the south. But as more news came, they found that their way back had been cut off, so everyone began to panic.
"We have fewer food. During breakfast, many soldiers have started to make trouble. News of insufficient food has been spreading below, and the army is so moved!" Someone said worriedly.
The previous order to attack south and go south to eat was based on completing the task, and the Soviet army would have someone to support it at any time, so that it could calmly sweep across the southern border of China and then retreat safely. But now the retreat road is facing the danger of permanent xing being cut off, so who can still attack south again?
Looking at the arrangement of the Chinese army marked on the map outside, every senior officer with a little military level can see the danger.
The air was monopolized by the Chinese. After dawn, more than 100 fighter jets sent by the Soviet Union quickly fell more than 60. During this period, the Chinese transport aircraft were still busy, and more transport aircraft were invested during the day, just like dark clouds pressing on everyone's hearts.
Everyone knew that every time there was a dark cloud over, there were more Chinese troops behind them, blocking their way back to the north.
As for the tasks proposed by Apanashenko, they had long been left behind and had no life. The others were completely empty talk.
"If we are surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese, it will be the biggest joke in the alliance!" Some people used this to explain the need for retreat. Under normal circumstances, this possibility is low, but now the army is short of food and even ammunition. The army seems to be a lot, but in fact, it seems to be very fragile because of the hasty time and not being planned carefully.
No one would ignore the huge number of 5 million troops announced by the Chinese, and no one would believe that China only arranged one or two legions announced on the outside border.
"There is intelligence that the troops in northern China are being mobilized this time. We speculate that the Chinese have and the troops that are mobilizing to the border may exceed 5 people and the rear-end guns. Another yin cloud has been added to people's hearts.
"Only two lines of defense, we have a casualty rate of more than 70,000, and nearly 50,000 brave Alliance soldiers fell there. But there is a damn line of defense ahead of us, and who knows how many troops the Chinese are still ambushing. If we go south, no matter how many troops we have, we may not be able to fill the trenches dug by the Chinese." Someone said harshly and pointed at Apaneseenko.
Apanashenkoyin had a calm face and did not speak. In just one night, the form changed drastically. As someone said, what he considered now was not a matter of mission, but a matter of survival of 300,000 troops.
His silence encouraged more people's speeches, and some people once again used the issue of food and grass to increase the weight of withdrawal: "Our military rations are less than three days old. If we go south and are dragged down by the Chinese and fall into a larger siege, or the Chinese use a scorched earth strategy, it is probably that the food problem alone will destroy the entire army."
His words were not alarmist. The Southern Chinese fought at home, which would have really put them in a deeper siege. The army without support from outside was probably dead. The food and grass were cut off, the morale of the army collapsed, and everything was over.
"If we evacuate northward and occupy a place, we can solve the problem of some military rations nearby." The man said again. Among them, solving the problem of food and grass nearby is nothing more than snatching food from the people. There are many ways to solve it. Because of the Soviet Union, some coordination problems are easy to solve. Even with more profitable means, they can be easily settled in the future.
"If we cooperate with the Baikal Front, we can directly eat the Chinese people behind us, which is enough to hit the Chinese people's ambitions!" Someone looked at the stern face of Apaneseko and said that it would be a great achievement to destroy the elite Chinese troops behind the scenes of at least 20,000 yuan, which is enough to hit the Chinese people's confidence. Maybe the Chinese people will retreat when they see difficulties, and the rest may only be solved at the negotiating table.
Apanashenko was still silent, just as someone else who made the entire interim headquarters tremble in anger just now was another person.
This kind of yin indifference actually made everyone feel uneasy, and all kinds of opinions gradually faded until a call from Moscow broke the silence.ro!.
