Age of Rebirth

At this moment, Chutian felt a little regretful, and underestimated these tribal armed forces. In the past two days or so, the special warfare detachment was targeted by the tribal armed forces. About 2000 people, taking advantage of the favorable conditions of being familiar with the terrain, attacked and harassed from time to time, and under the fierce counterattack of the special operations detachment, they retreated leaving corpses in disorder.

After fighting like this for more than three days, Chu Tian didn't pay much attention to it. According to his own judgment, it should be the retreat route of the special operations detachment. It happened to enter the sphere of influence of these tribal armed forces, which aroused their vigilance and thought they were coming to rob It is not uncommon for those who belong to the territory, or foreign forces, to occupy this place, with knives and guns.

Until today, in the middle of Karaganda and Lake Balkhash, surrounded by nearly [-] Soviet troops and tribal armed forces, Chu suddenly realized that in the first three days, these tribal armed forces were dispatching troops, and small groups of armed forces Sneak attacks and harassment are to entangle the special operations detachment, but to mobilize more troops and buy time

If he had been vigilant at that time, accelerated his marching speed, and had not entangled with these local armed forces, he would not have been besieged now. In fact, Chutian still overestimated the capabilities of these tribal armed forces and received orders from the local Soviet government. It was an order a few hours ago. The previous harassment was based on what Chutian judged. The local tribe believed that the special warfare detachment was armed from outside and came to grab the territory. That's why there were three days of fierce fighting and entanglement.

Thinking about this now is useless. Chu Tian took a deep breath, looked at the team members who were busy building fortifications, and glanced at the twilight sky. The Soviet army outside the encirclement did not launch an attack immediately. of troops.Tonight may be the last chance to have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, it will be a battlefield full of artillery fire until the reinforcements sent by the division commander arrive.

But, can the special warfare detachment last until that moment?The distance is too far. Even if the division commander arranges it immediately, there will be no seven or eight days for the reinforcements to arrive. During this time.The special warfare detachment can only fight alone!

Fighting alone is not afraid. That time the special warfare detachment didn't go deep into the enemy's rear and dealt with millions of enemy troops, but the current position defense warfare is not what the special warfare detachment is good at.Once fixed in place, bound hands and feet.All the specialties of the special forces.They can't show it. To put it bluntly, they are not much different from ordinary field troops. They still lack heavy equipment, but their marksmanship is much better.

This was also what Chu Tian was most worried about. "Detachment leader!" Qi Hanzhi, chief of staff of the detachment, ran over from the simple trench with his back bent, and pulled Chu Tian back into the trench.He yelled: "You don't want to die, a bullet from a Soviet soldier has hit you, you, the captain, have to explain it here!"

Chu Tian smiled, and asked indifferently: "Hanzhi, do you think the marksmanship of Soviet soldiers is so good? What can I do for you?"

Qi Hanzhi said: "According to your order, I roughly counted the current ammunition of the troops. The amount is not much, and it should last for three to five days. , The Soviet army has even brought in armored vehicles, and tomorrow's battle will definitely be lively, but I'm afraid that when it matters, we will run out of ammunition, which is a big problem!"

Chutian didn't speak, his face became heavy, Qi Hanzhi went on to say: "The situation of the wounded, each unit has also counted up, along the way, we have fought for hundreds of kilometers and killed seven or eight thousand Soviet soldiers. We didn't kill a single person. , is considered a good record, but there are more than 260 wounded, including more than 50 seriously wounded who lost combat effectiveness, I have hidden them in a safe place, detachment leader, don't worry!"

Chu Tian stared at the front, the Soviet army who was also building fortifications, his voice was as cold as ice, "This is exactly what I worry about the most, have you seen the armored vehicles of the Soviet army in front?" He pointed and said .

A target as big as the Soviet armored vehicles, coupled with the fact that for the sake of deterrence, they were parked in rows on the highest hill without concealment. Of course Qi Hanzhi saw it, but he didn't understand what the meaning of the detachment leader was?

"In the battle that starts tomorrow, those Soviet armored vehicles are our biggest threat. Can the current fortifications be able to withstand the impact of shells?" Chu Tian's words shocked Qi Hanzhi, and his face turned pale. I have overlooked a big issue that concerns the life and death of the troops. Alas, after all, they are not from the field troops, and they are still inexperienced in positional warfare!

In the fading twilight, Chutian's eyes were beating with resolute flames, like a burning bonfire, "Let the team members work hard, don't rest tonight, dig the bomb holes and shelters overnight, especially at the front On the battlefield, if I can withstand the artillery fire from the Soviet armored vehicles, I still learned from my teacher!" Chu Tian's tone seemed to carry a sense of nostalgia!

"By the way, Hanjaz, hasn't the teacher replied to the telegram yet?" He suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Qi Hanzhi shook his head. At this moment, the communication staff officer ran over along the trench and said excitedly, "Detachment leader! Chief of staff! The division commander has returned a telegram!"

Qi Hanzhi took the telegram, read it quickly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and said: "Detachment leader, the division commander ordered us to hold on for another 24 hours, and the reinforcements will arrive. The division commander used all the transport planes of the Southern and Northern Flying Groups. , Hey, even the security brigade of the division headquarters has been sent, Captain Huang is the commander of the reinforcements, and the paratrooper regiment of the Southern Flying Group, the detachment leader, let's not be afraid!"

Chu Tian laughed silently. He didn't expect that the division commander's reaction was so quick. He used all the transport planes of the aviation force to transport the reinforcements, and even sent out the personal guard brigade. For a moment, he felt guilty.

"Hanjaz, inform all the team members that the division commander will send reinforcements and they will arrive in 24 hours. The artillery holes and shelters will still be excavated. We still have to withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of Soviet troops and tribal armed forces day and night. !"

At night, Sai Yinshanda in southern Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli stood alone outside the house where the cold wind was howling, and the mountain tiger had already led the team to set off. At this time, they were almost at Erenhot, and the first batch of reinforcements in the Indochina Peninsula had also arrived. He took off, but in his heart, he was still uneasy. The special operations detachment was besieged by the Soviet army in Kazakhstan, which brought him even more anxiety than a war that was about to break out.

Sai Yinshanda's battle was under his control, but besides the solitary army, the special warfare detachment in deep siege affected his heart even more. In a day and a night, anything could happen, and the solitary army was besieged. It is the end of the entire army being wiped out. Commanding the independent division troops by myself, I often adopt this style of play, and I know the danger!

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came outside the house with a telegram, and said with concern: "Master, it's windy outside, you should take care of yourself, let's go back inside!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and asked, "Yuhe, what's new?"

Zhao Yuhe replied, "Sheng Shicai called back!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli frowned, "What did he say?" he asked.

Zhao Yuhe smiled and said, "Sheng Shicai called back and said that he fully obeyed your orders, and that Xinjiang's garrison forces will do their best to cooperate. They have prepared a large number of vehicles and horses. Also, he said, the airport in Tacheng can Use, and have notified the personnel there, prepare for our transport plane to land!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli rubbed his hands excitedly, "Yuhe, let's talk in the house!" After speaking, he strode into the room.

"Yuhe, give Le Yiqin an order. The Falcon Paratrooper Regiment of the Southern Flying Group, the transport plane will land at Dihua Airport first, and then fly directly to the besieged position of the Special Operations Detachment, and carry out an airdrop outside the encirclement of the Soviet Army to attract the Soviet Union. The firepower of the army will reduce the pressure on Chutian! Establish contact with the special warfare detachment, and they will determine the time of airborne, and they must state in the order that there is no need for the paratroopers to open the gap, just to attract the firepower of the Soviet army!" Tang Qiuli hurriedly Said.

After a pause, he continued: "Send a telegram to Shan Hu and Liu Cuigang that the No. 11 Brigade, the No. [-] Brigade of the North Road Reinforcement Force, land at Tacheng Airport. Speed, rush over by land! It probably won't take a day and a night, okay!"

Zhao Yuhe reassured, "Master, you are too worried. With the commanding ability of the leader of the Chutian detachment, the combat effectiveness and individual quality of the special warfare detachment, the Soviet army can't afford it!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head, and said solemnly: "Yuhe, what you said is correct, but the situation is different now. Standing on the sidelines and waiting for reinforcements, fighting defensive battles. The special warfare detachment is not good at it, and there is still a shortage of heavy equipment and ammunition. It’s not enough, Chutian is using his own weaknesses to counter the enemy’s strengths!"

"Besides, the commander of the Soviet army who surrounded the special warfare detachment must be dispatching troops. We are competing with the Soviet army for time, so I am still very worried!" Tang Qiuli rubbed his swollen temples, and suddenly changed Topic, "By the way, Yuhe, is there any new trend for the Soviet army going south?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "No, the uninterrupted air strikes of the Northern Flying Group have caused great difficulties for the Soviet army. Their movements have been completely restricted and their advance speed is slow. This afternoon, at about 170 kilometers north of Sai Yinshan In the airspace, our fighter jet formation severely damaged the Soviet fighter jets who came to escort them, and according to the results reported by the Northern Aviation Group, they shot down more than [-] Soviet fighter jets!"

"The detoured troops on the left and right flanks sent a telegram and have arrived at the designated position. They are waiting for the division's order. Commander Liu Chun of the cavalry unit, which is interspersed in the direction of Kulun, called to report. In two days, you can reach the periphery of Kulun!"

Tang Qiuli nodded silently, and suddenly said abruptly: "Yuhe, Sai Yinshanda may not be able to win this big battle!"
