"It's a huge yīn scheme! This is definitely a yīn scheme! Apanashchenko said again.

It was already dawn, but the line of defense of the vanguard army in front had not yet been breached, and although the second trench had been broken through around 6 a.m., there was a third trench system in front of the tired Russian soldiers, like chains around their necks.

Apanashchenko felt the wind buckle around his neck strangled his thick neck, making him almost suffocate. Untied the wind and discipline button, but the depression in his heart was still there, and the root cause was the information he had just thrown off in his hand.

Intelligence was sent from several departments, which together confirmed one thing: he seemed to be surrounded.

When I heard this information in the early hours of this morning, I thought it was a joke.

"Just a few thousand Chinese people still want to surround us?" Even the sane chief of staff, Smorodinov, felt that this was an insult to the Soviet Russian troops. In his opinion, even if the Chinese arranged 10,000 people behind the back, at most it would be a sāo disturbance, and even if they occupied the city with an empty defense in the rear, it would be destroyed for a while at most, and then driven away by the Soviet and Russian soldiers who broke the siege.

But the impossible seems to have become a reality. With the dawn of dawn, the Outer Méng also ushered in a larger-scale offensive by the vanguard army.

According to the latest and most accurate information, cities large and small along the supply road north of Sainshanda have largely fallen. Without the cover of night, the Vanguard Army's street fighting tactics were sharper than those of the Russian soldiers who were also unfamiliar with the local terrain, and even Ulan-Uto finally fell at 7:15 a.m. in a large-scale attack by a brigade of the Vanguard Army after struggling for most of the night.

At 7:15 a.m., the number of vanguard troops deployed in various places had exceeded 40,000 in the entire outer Méng steppe, just behind the Soviet Russian soldiers. Overnight, the vanguard army airlifted 30,000 people.

40,000 people may not seem like much, but these soldiers from the 1st and 3rd Army Corps quickly came to a gorgeous change of clothing under the preparation of the sub-base, and the combat effectiveness of the 40,000 soldiers armed with armor increased several times, which was far from being able to withstand the 56th Division that went to suppress the bandits. At about 6:30 a.m., the main force of the 56th Division was surrounded by more than 200 Haw Par tanks and more than 300 multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles near Arag, and in just over an hour, the 56th Division, which was not yet fully staffed, had already lost its 8,000 men.

The 56th Division, which had moved north, was crippled, and the 94th Division of the 36th Army of the Transbaikal Front, which had moved south from the border with the Soviet Union, was also blocked by more and more herds of tigers and leopards near the tributaries of the Sèlenga River north of Sukhbaatar.

At the two important transportation junctions near those rivers, only 15 Tiger Kings were entrenched at the throat of the bridge, and with the roar of the king of beasts, the 94th Division was in a hurry for four hours, and it was difficult to advance an inch. The 94th Division only blew up the armor of one King Tiger with the heaviest 122 cannon that accompanied it, and the other large and small artillery pieces were even more cloudy.

And the other Tiger Kings wandered a few times from time to time, so that the Soviet Russian gunners lost their accurate targets and went completely crazy.

Subsequently, more and more Tiger tanks and Panther tanks directly frustrated the Russian soldiers' plan to detour the river. No one can successfully erect a pontoon bridge over the river in the eyes of many tigers and leopards. After dawn, the Il-10 attack planes hovering in the sky cut off the last trace of their smuggling thoughts.

Even though the 36th Division of the 93rd Army was hurrying in, there was still no sign of a possible breakthrough in the intelligence received by Apanashchenko. Because the vanguard army was also increasing its troops, the shadows of the dark clouds of transport planes that could already be seen in the sky made Apanashchenko's heart continue to sink. When the news came that Altambusire and Mandakh, which were close to Sainshanda, had also been occupied by the vanguard, he finally found that the army of the Russian expedition outside Méng led by him was really surrounded.

"It was the people who planned this conspiracy together with the Huaxia people! We have fallen into their trap! Apanashchenko still can't believe that the Chinese can transport so many tanks in the past, and the number of at least 500 Chinese tank armored vehicles stuck behind them learned by the Russian intelligence agencies made him feel powerless to counterattack, and he was even more convinced that the Waiméng people had colluded with the Chinese to set up an ambush in advance.

Obviously, many people also have the same idea, and the foreign officers who followed the Soviet Russian Expeditionary Force were immediately detained, and even the two foreign Méng cavalry divisions used as cannon fodder were also controlled, and in the process, hundreds of people were directly shot for resistance and various reasons.

The chaos in the outer forces was quickly suppressed, but the chaos within the Russian forces was only just beginning.

"We need to break through the encirclement with all our might, otherwise as the Chinese army behind us grows, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by heavy encirclement, and we will never be able to go back." At the meeting of senior officers, someone took the lead in attacking.

The news that the city behind was attacked or even fallen by the vanguard army, everyone didn't care at first, those Xu sāo disturbances would eventually be cleared, and the passage behind them would finally be opened. Their attention was still on the task of expelling the Chinese to the south. But as more news came, they found that their way back had really been cut off, and everyone began to panic.

"We don't have much food, and at breakfast, many soldiers are already starting to make a fuss. The news of the lack of food has spread below, and the army is excited! Someone worried.

Apanashchenko's previous order to attack the south and go south to eat was on the basis of completing the task, and on the basis of the support of the Soviet Russian army at any time, he could calmly sweep the southern border of China and then retreat safely. But now that the retreat is in danger of being cut off permanently, who cares about attacking south again?

Looking at the layout of the Chinese army marked on the map, as long as there is a little military level among the senior officers, they can see the danger.

The air was monopolized by the Chinese, and more than 60 of the more than 100 fighters sent out by Soviet Russia after dawn soon fell. During this period, the transport planes of the Chinese people were still busy, and more transport planes were put into the day, like a dark cloud pressing on everyone's hearts.

Everyone knew that every time a dark cloud passed, there was an additional group of Chinese troops behind them, blocking their way back to the north.

As for the task proposed by Apanashchenko, it has long been forgotten by everyone, and there is no life, and everything else is completely empty talk.

"If we are surrounded and annihilated by the Huaxia people, it will be the biggest joke of the alliance!" Some people use this to say that it is necessary to retreat. In peacetime, this possibility is low, but now there is a shortage of food and even ammunition in the army, and the 300,000 army seems to be a lot, but in fact it is very fragile because of the rush of time and poor planning.

No one would ignore the huge number of 5 million troops announced by the Huaxia, and no one would believe that the Huaxia had only one or two corps announced on the outer borders.

"There is intelligence that this time the troops in northern China are all mobilized, and we suspect that the troops that the Huaxia people have mobilized and are mobilizing to the border may exceed 5 people, which has added a cloud to people's hearts.

"With just two lines of defense, we have more than 70,000 casualties, and nearly 50,000 valiant Union soldiers have fallen there. But we still have a damn line of defense in front of us, and who knows how many troops the Huaxia people still have in ambush behind us. If we go further south, I am afraid that no amount of troops will be able to fill the trenches dug by the Chinese. Someone has already pointed to Apanashchenko.

Apanashchenko yīn did not speak with a calm face, and in just one night, the form changed drastically. As someone said, now it is no longer a question of the mission, but of the survival of the 300,000 troops.

His silence encouraged more people to speak, and some people again used the issue of food and grass to increase the weight of the withdrawal: "Our army has less than three days' rations, and if we go south and are dragged down by the Chinese people and fall into a greater encirclement, or if the Chinese people come up with a scorched earth strategy, I am afraid that the problem of food alone will bring down the whole army." ”

His words are not alarmist, the southern Chinese are fighting at home, I am afraid that they will really fall into a deeper encirclement, and there is no supporting army outside to respond, I am afraid it is really a dead end. The grain and grass were cut off, the morale of the army collapsed, and everything was over.

"If we withdraw to the north and occupy one place, we can solve the problem of some military rations nearby." The man said again that solving the problem of grain and grass in the vicinity is nothing more than taking food from the mouths of the people, and there are many ways. Because of Su Méng's relationship, some coordination problems are also easy to solve. Even more lucrative means can be easily settled later.

"If we cooperate well with the Transbaikal Front, we can directly eat those Huaxia people behind us, which is enough to hit the ambitions of the Huaxia people!" Someone glanced at Apanashchenko's face, and said in this way. It is also a great achievement to really eliminate at least 20,000 or more elite Chinese troops behind the scenes, which is enough to hit the confidence of the Chinese people, and maybe the Chinese people will be able to retreat in the face of difficulties, and the rest may only need to be solved at the negotiation table.

Apanashchenko remained silent, just like another person who had just made the entire Provisional Command tremble in a rage.

This kind of yīn silence caused the hearts of the people to feel uneasy, and all kinds of opinions gradually faded until a phone call from Moscow broke the silence. RO！。
