General Wang Geng, who was obviously relieved, had a confident smile on his face, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Commander-in-chief, there are still deficiencies in the coordinated operation of all arms. Just now, the support of the air force did not keep up in time, and the barrage of artillery Xu Jin did not do it properly. ”

Gao Yang smiled, didn't say anything more, got up and went back to the headquarters of the Sixth Division to rest. General Wang Geng commanded the troops to continue the next combat operations.

More than an hour later, as the sun set in the sky, the roaring gunfire in the distance gradually became quieter.

The door of the division headquarters was pushed open, and General Wang Geng and Major General Zhang Zhonglin came to Gao Yang's side with closed eyes and rested with serious faces.

Gao Yang raised his eyelids lightly and glanced at them, took off his headphones, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

The two generals glanced at each other, and a fierce spark appeared in their eyes. After a while, General Wang Geng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Commander-in-Chief, there is a disagreement between Commander General and Chief of Staff Zhang on the operational plan of our department after the capture of Akinskoye, and I would like to ask you to make a final decision. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang gradually frowned, his expression gradually became solemn, the corners of his mouth pursed a resolute line, and asked in a deep voice, "What disagreement?" Let's talk about it. ”

"Commander-in-Chief!" After hesitating slightly, Chief of Staff Zhang Zhonglin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I think that the morale of our department is booming now, the strength is almost undamaged, and the battlefield situation is also extremely favorable!" ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his voice, and continued, "Now is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the battle target Chita in one fell swoop. He believed that our troops should continue to attack and quickly move north to occupy Chita. ”

Gao Yang didn't speak, and turned his head to look at General Wang Geng on the side.

General Wang Geng cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Commander-in-chief, I think that our department has advanced at a high speed since the start of the war, and it has advanced nearly three hundred kilometers in a short time!" Moving farther and farther away from friendly forces, the flanks and rear transport lines are completely unsafe. ”

He turned his head and glanced at Major General Zhang Zhonglin, and then said, "And." The soldiers marched for a long time and fought, and their physical strength and spirit had reached their limit. The wear and tear of vehicles and equipment is also gradually increasing, and combat vehicles, armored vehicles and various types of vehicles are in urgent need of refurbishment. The material consumption is also very large! ”

"You want to stop and let the troops recuperate. Wait for the friendly forces behind to come up and then attack? Does Zhong Lin want to seize the opportunity, continue to move forward, take Chita in one breath and then rest? Gao Yang curled the corners of his mouth and said with a chuckle.

"Yes!" The two generals said in unison.

Gao Yang shook his head, stood up, and put his phone on the table. looked at the two generals who were unconvinced, and raised their chins. He smiled and said, "I'm just here to watch the game." You are the front-line commanders. It's up to you to decide what to do. ”

The two generals were stunned, they didn't expect Gao Yang to kick the ball back. I was stunned for a while and couldn't speak.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Let's go and do our own thing, I'm going to eat." ”

The two generals left with a sullen salute.

Gao Yang looked at the figures of the two leaving and shook his head slightly. He did not want to interfere with the command of the commander of the front. How the troops fight is something that the commander has to think about, and he can't do everything.

Besides, he's going to leave in a few months, what are these commanders going to do when they have something to argue about? Can you still go to the modern plane to find him to make a decision?

General Wang Geng's battle plan was relatively conservative. But it is a regular way of warfare. Resting your troops, replenishing supplies, and waiting for reinforcements to arrive before launching an attack can maximize your strengths.

Zhang Zhonglin's plan is too radical, and in the current situation in which his side has an absolute advantage. There is no need for this.

Leaving the headquarters of the 6th Division, he got into a car and drove towards Akinskoye under the escort of the Guards.

Lowering the window, a breath of battlefield smoke poured into the car. Gao Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, he enjoyed the feeling. Every man has a battlefield dream in his heart.

Rows of captives in the distance hung their heads. With a frightened expression on his face, he walked towards the temporary prisoner of war camp under the escort of the officers and men of the 6th Division. These are important labor resources in the future.

Engineer units have begun repairing the damaged railway line. Compared with transport airships, railways are the most important transportation lifeline!

Numerous construction vehicles began to work on a huge open field in the suburbs. It looks like a large field airfield.

Crossing the battlefield that was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke, Gao Yang couldn't help but feel a dark feeling in his heart as he watched the prisoners of war load the corpses on trucks and transport them to a distance. This is a brutal war, a massive gamble for the sake of each other's interests. Chips are countless lives.

Before dark, Gao Yang finally came to the city of Akinskoye. The city has been completely destroyed. Everywhere there were broken bricks and tiles, broken glass and broken wood. The roads were riddled with large and small craters, and there were large patches of blood in many places. There were also many corpses lying on the ground in strange poses.

Some expressionless citizens are struggling to find anything useful in the ruins. They looked sluggish, indifferent to the officers and men of the Sixth Division on the side, as if they were a group of street lamps.

A group of snotty children laughed and played, chasing and playing in the streets. These naïve children don't understand war, country, fate, they are only interested in the mighty chariots and the sweets and chocolates that the soldiers give.

These citizens have lost everything, their homes and their loved ones. They have a generic name, Refugees!

Gao Yang sighed lightly and slowly closed the window, blocking out the miserable scene and the cold air outside.

The car was quiet for a while, and Gao Yang suddenly whispered, "Tell Wang Geng to give these citizens some food and tents, and don't embarrass them." He had just seen a lot of gray-haired old men sitting in the rubble, crying silently.

Gao Yang is actually a kind and serious person in his heart, you are good to me and I am good to you. He was forced by reality to do something he had to do. It's just that he can't look at everything completely indifferently, and he's not playing politics.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Zhang Xinghai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly responded after reacting.

"Hmm." Gao Yang leaned back on the seat, gently closed his eyes and began to rest.

Zhang Xinghai glanced back at Gao Yang with some hesitation. He felt that Gao Yang seemed to be a little uneasy. It's really strange, how can the troops look unhappy when they win the war?

The 21st Infantry Division, stationed at Akinskoye, and the stragglers who had retreated from the front were scattered in the afternoon battle.

The division commander Berekov was killed in a street battle in the ruins of the city at the very least. Most of the more than 10,000 officers and men under his command were killed or captured. The small number of stragglers who escaped from the battlefield are no longer in the climate.

The 6th Division did not pursue the skirmishers. In these adverse weather conditions. The stragglers, who had lost their organization and supplies, simply did not have the ability to continue fighting.

It's more than a hundred kilometers away from Chita. These stragglers want to rely on their legs to walk back to their own front, and the only end is to freeze to death and starve to death on the vast Siberian plain!

The battle went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations! Including Gao Yang is the same!

Before the war, I had already thought that the Far Eastern Special Army was not an opponent, but I didn't expect that the war would go so smoothly!

These soldiers are brave enough. In the afternoon, Gao Yang saw with his own eyes that there were many brave soldiers of the 21st Infantry Division on the battlefield who launched a decisive assault with explosive bags and cluster grenades!

It's just that in front of another opponent who is also not short of brave soldiers and is equipped with extremely powerful weapons and equipment, everything is useless!

A brave soldier in the age of cold weapons can almost change the tide of battle. However, in the era of hot weapons with more and more advanced weapons and equipment, individual martial arts have lost their role. Whose weapons are more advanced and more numerous. Whoever wins!

Of course, the gap between the command of the premise and the morale of the soldiers training should not be too large.

In the end, the 6th Panzer Division chose to stay and recuperate, waiting for supplies and reinforcements to arrive. After all, General Wang Geng is the commander who is the most determined. And Major General Zhang Zhonglin, as the chief of staff, only has the right to make suggestions.

Early the next morning, the 22nd Mechanized Infantry Division, which had been closely following the 6th Division, arrived in turn.

After the railway line was repaired, the 17th and 18th light infantry divisions were sent to the front in batches by rail transport.

As for the provisional 14th Light Infantry Division, it became a garrison and escort force entirely. The entire division was dispersed and deployed along the entire logistical transport line.

An interesting thing happened when the right flank attack force of the Manchurian assault group began to assemble in Akinskoye.

Many officers and men of the Far Eastern Special Army, who had been scattered and fled in the previous battles, left their hiding places one after another. Surrender to the troops of Goyang.

They can't survive in the cold season without supplies. In order to survive, these stragglers had no choice but to abandon their weapons and surrender to Gao Yang's troops with their hands raised.

It's a lively fight on the right side. On the left, the battle went on without a wave.

The troops on the left who marched on the Mongolian plateau did not encounter any major battles, and their opponents were only a few cavalry. Under the blows of armored forces and air forces, these cavalry suffered heavy losses and could only be scattered in all directions.

What bothered the troops on the left was the poor road conditions. Cold weather and desolate scenes.

The whole marching column traveled a long distance without seeing a single living person! Except for some wild animals and hungry wolves with green eyes, there are only endless white snowfields and withered yellow weeds in this vast wasteland.

The sunglasses that Gao Yang had previously issued to the troops had played an unexpectedly huge role. Originally, Gao Yang just wanted to make the troops look more handsome and mighty. It is closer to the appearance of the modern army that the officers and soldiers are equipped with sunglasses.

No one could have imagined that in the vast snowfield, these sunglasses would play a huge role in the fight against snow blindness.

Gao Yang, who was completely ignorant of this, also put on a layer of thoughtful planning and sympathy for the aura of the troops. His prestige in the army has reached a higher level, which is loved by the officers and soldiers from the bottom of their hearts! (To be continued......)
