Chapter 190: Two encirclements (four)

Seeing Yin Tian still hesitating, Xu Hun sighed: "There is nothing to imagine. This is also the meaning of the Front Army, execute it immediately!"

"Since that's the case, I ask to be the commander of the detachment." Yin Tian said sternly.

"No, you still have a task." Xu Hun flatly refused, "After forming the Westward Advance Detachment, the remaining troops of your army must cross the Angar River and advance towards Lake Baikal, and meet with the Lake Rangers that landed in Tutai as soon as possible to complete the encirclement of the enemy in Irkutsk."

"What should I do if Angarsk?"

"Defense by the 3-army army."

Yin Tian realized the impatientness in the chief's tone, so he had to go with his horse boots and said with his chest: "I understand. Yuan Xu is the commander of the Westward Advance Detachment, and the remaining troops are organized into the Eastward Advance Detachment. I personally led it and crossed the river overnight to Tutai."

"Execute it." Xu Hun nodded, put his knife to his waist, rubbed the bottom of his boots against the blood-stained floor, and strode towards the door.

At dawn on June 25, at Baikal's village near the Angara River estuary, located in the southern tip of Lake Baikal, a Army Class C motor speedboat more than ten meters long slowly approached the dock. A young official with a handsome face and a gold-colored chest was hurriedly jumped onto the shore on the pedal.

"Is it Lieutenant Shangguan?" A lieutenant, who also had a thigh of staff, greeted him.

"I am Shangguan Huaiyuan, the special counselor of the Front Army, and I have not asked for advice..."

"Please get in the car, the commander is waiting for you." The lieutenant seemed to have no time to get close to Shangguan Huaiyuan, so he turned around and pulled open the tailgate baffle of a ton and a half truck.

Shangguan Huaiyuan turned around and waved to the speedboat: "Carry the radio station over, be careful, don't fall into the water."

Five people, including Shangguan Huaiyuan, added a radio station, which filled the trunk of the small truck. The lieutenant who came to greet him sat in the passenger seat.

He whispered several times. The truck couldn't move, and the driver got out of the car, opened the front cover and checked. Shangguan Huaiyuan took the opportunity to get off the car, went to the passenger seat, and handed cigarettes to the bearded lieutenant.

“What’s the name?”

"Oh, my surname is Yang, Yang Shengji. Staff Officer of the Military Intelligence Department - Thank you."

After lit a cigarette for Yang Shengji, he also lit a piece of himself, and after two or three sips of mist, Shangguan Huaiyuan looked at the lifted front hood of the car and asked casually: "Does this happen often?"

Yang Shengji reached out and rubbed his forehead, looking bored: "Sorry, there are no cars available in the military headquarters."

Just after that, a long line of two and a half tons of medium-sized trucks drove near the small dock with breath and stopped in line. The drivers opened the door and got out of the car and lowered the tailgate bezel.

Staff Yang said to the other side: "Here, we've come here to pull things. The army no longer cares about our supplies."

"That's right... the enemy began to break through?"

"It's almost done. Last night, gunfire sounded around Serryhof all night, and the scouts were busy."

"It seems like there will be a big war?"

"A war...or. massacre." Yang Shengji sneered.

The body of the car shook slightly, the engine started, the front cover was lowered, and the driver returned to the driver's seat.

Shangguan Huaiyuan threw a cigarette to the driver and returned to the junction to sit down.

It was already dawn, and when I looked towards the lake, I saw a series of barges towed by motor boats coming, which should be full of oil, ammunition, manpower and reinforcements - the 2nd Lake Rangers formed by the 121st Division of the Reserve Infantry directly under the Front Army as the basic forces.

The first dumpling with the main force of the enemy field troops on the Alkut line of defense was the first dumpling. Finally, it was packed. It was so big and fat, but it was still raw. I wonder if it would last until it exploded when it was cooked.

Shangguan Huaiyuan smiled in his heart and really missed the Northeast dumplings made by his mother.

The truck drove away from the dock tremblingly, passing through the village of Baikal, which was still emitting black smoke, with bloody bodies scattered on the streets, and drove onto a narrow and bumpy carriage road.

The road is surrounded by small hills covered with trees, with green grass nearby. Stars are decorated with small yellow flowers that cannot be named. From time to time, a gurgling stream is passed, and occasionally a group of noisy birds fly.

It's too quiet.

Release the curtain between the driver's seat and the rear compartment. Go to Yang Shengji: "Why didn't you see the troops?"

"What unit?"

"What should the troops forming a barrier line do if the enemy gets out of here?"

Yang Shengji pointed out the window and said, "Hey, there are sentries on the top of the mountain."

"Only sentinels?"

"It is an infantry squad equipped with machine guns and grenade launchers. Whenever the enemy is discovered, it will fire a signal flare and summon armored troops to come for reinforcements. The most important commanding heights even called the phone - look at that."

Shangguan Huaiyuan followed Yang Shengji's point of view and saw a relatively flat grass on the side of the road surrounded by a circle of chariots and half-tracked cars. He counted roughly, but only about twenty parts were all facing outward. Sandbags were piled between the two cars, forming a circular support point with a diameter of only fifty meters.

"A half-company chariot, half-company half-tracked chariot, plus two or three self-propelled artillery, forms such a mobile combat team. The entire brigade is composed of 8 such combat teams, with an average of 5 kilometers. It is connected to Serihof, and each combat team has radios. Whenever there is a situation, it can be independently engaged in combat. Of course, this is just a temporary measure. It is necessary to completely block the enemy. There is not enough infantry," Yang Shengji explained.

"Didn't the Imperial Guard Cavalry Army come with you?"

"They were busy making feed along the way, and the main force had not yet arrived in Serikhov - we did not have any extra trucks to transport feed to the cavalry." Yang Shengji had no choice but to spread his hands, "The only one who followed us to hold the 4th army to fight to Serikhov was the Imperial Guard Infantry Regiment and an Imperial Guard Mobile Artillery Battalion."

Seeing that the cigarette in Yang Shengji's hand had burned close to the filter, Shangguan Huaiyuan took out two of the wrinkled "Plum Blossom" cigarette bag and handed it on: "Don't worry, you saw it just now. The reinforcement fleet has arrived. Today, one division is going to land. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be a reinforcement force behind you for 3 episodes, at least two divisions and one cavalry brigade. In this way, there will be 4 infantry divisions, 3 armored brigades and 4 cavalry brigades that block the enemy's back. On the front of the enemy's ground, there are me in the western section and 3 episodes of me and 4 divisions of me in the middle section and strengthen the two battalions of combat vehicles. In the east section, there are 8 divisions of me in the one episode. The total strength should be more than three times the enemy's army. In theory, it is in a winning position."

"Theory?" Yang Shengji pinned a cigarette behind his ear and used the filter of another cigarette to apply his shiny Prussian-style mustache.

"The dumpling skin is too big and thin, just cook it like this, and the filling will run out."
