Chapter 620: We Have No Way Back
, those who disturb the morale of the army will be shot! Apanashchenko said violently.
His order to block the news didn't work, and news of the road being cut off behind him quickly spread throughout the barracks. Although the iron horn pistol kept ringing, the people were panicked, and everyone wanted to know what was going on.
"We are surrounded by the Chinese people!" Someone muttered softly.
"Really?" There is no shortage of curious ears in the world.
"The cities behind us are occupied! They have cut us off! "Wouldn't it?"
"Won't? You know, there are tens of thousands of Chinese troops behind us, as well as tanks and artillery. I heard that Ulan-Uto was also occupied by the Chinese. ”
"Are there so many people? And the tanks, how did the Chemists get through? "There is no shortage of skeptics.
"Don't you hear planes in the air all the time? They have large transport planes, and they are dropping soldiers directly behind us. Tanks can also be transported! Also, don't forget about the méng ancients, who are in the same league as the Chinese people. ”
"It's possible, I heard that two years ago, the ancient people of Méng still wanted to take refuge in the Japanese themselves. Now to help the Chinese people, it is very possible. Someone self-righteously analyzed.
"It's not possible, they were originally a group, and they were all a group of yellow monkeys." Someone said angrily.
"You can't say that, we are internationalists and the poor all over the world are family.
Only a few people conspired against us, and the majority of the ancient people of Méng still turned against us. "There are people who are still holding on to the truth.
The grapevine was suddenly silent for a moment, and it didn't take long for someone to say: "I heard that it was under the leadership of some méng ancients that they attacked so easily at night, and I heard that there were two méng ancient cavalry that directly surrendered to the Huaxia people, and this is how Wendur Khan was captured by them." Otherwise, the entire supply line would not have been cut off. ”
"It's really cut off, I heard that there are a lot of trucks gathered on the side of Sainshanda, but there is no way back. Elage has been overrun by the Chinese, and there is no food to be delivered.
"Luckily, a lot of food was delivered two days ago!" Someone rejoiced. The rapid march of the army caused many people to abandon everything that was not necessary, and even the military rations were not well prepared, and as a result, there was a shortage of food supplies in Méng. For this reason, the Soviet Russian command specially brought more than a dozen truckloads of food to make a debut in front of many soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army. So, a lot of people know that they have plenty of business.
"Our No. 3 logistics warehouse was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Huaxia people yesterday, and I heard that someone deliberately set fire to the No. 1 warehouse. I heard that several other warehouses are also finished, and I am afraid that there is not much food left. "No wonder we have to nibble on black bread for our late-night snacks!" Someone suddenly realized.
"I'm afraid that in two days, I won't even have to nibble on black bread!" Someone sighed.
Everyone was silent, and those who were soldiers knew the consequences of being cut off and having no food.
With the material warehouses of the Russian army, many places were bombarded and set on fire by spies.
Yesterday evening, news of a lack of food spread in the barracks. Those Russian soldiers who retired from the front could only nibble on some black bread at dinner. Many soldiers gradually began to believe the rumors that the rear supply line had been cut off.
The rumors became more and more intense, and the soldiers fighting in front smelled the aroma of the warm broth on the opposite side, and then Momo's hungry and deflated stomachs, and the prison sao accumulated more and more.
Those officers are more aware of the danger of being cut off from food shortages, just an internal stability,
Just give them a headache.
Those rumors are not only said with noses and eyes, but many of them are "true", which makes people unable to refute them with confidence.
Although the situation in the rear cannot be confirmed, it is a fact that now there is a shortage of food at the front. When confronted with the soldiers, they could not offer more food to comfort their stomachs. Even if there was food, they did not dare to take it all out to reassure the soldiers of the squander, because they knew more about the situation in the rear. I'm even more worried.
Who knew that in one night, there would be such a big change in the future. There is no supply in the rear, and it is not known how many days it will take to support the remaining food in order to open the supply channel in the rear. Who would dare to divide all the food at once? There has long been an order from above to strictly control food. Even some of the privileged officers don't enjoy a good meal, let alone the minions below.
As soon as the food on it tightened, it immediately confirmed the conjecture in the hearts of many people. The whole army's heart was stirring, so that Apanashchenko's general offensive last night was shaken by rumors, and it was weakened at the beginning.
The spirit of the army is very delicate, and once it is shaken, even the number of troops will become a mess of scattered sand.
The attacks of the previous two days were constantly frustrated, and with the interference of rumors, not many soldiers were still in high spirits. After grinding for half the night, under the suppression of the fierce fire of the front army on the opposite side, the Soviet Russian army had not even captured the second trench, which was already full of holes.
"Moscow is not satisfied with your actions! There is no way back for you! Apanashchenko said angrily, his two red eyes staring at the generals below.
The crowd sat silent, lest Apanashchenko's "I judge you" words fall on their heads.
"Now that the Ya family has also understood, the next step is to break this deadlock, boost the morale of the soldiers, and win the final victory!" Apanashchenko's tone eased slightly.
"Because of the food, the soldiers have a lot of opinions. The comrades of the soldiers' committee also made a special suggestion to solve this problem first. Borishev had to say that the logistics system he managed was now in a mess, and I was afraid that all kinds of responsibilities would be put on his head in the near future, and he had to mention it first. And behind him is the military commissar Zhartov. The feud between Zhertov and Apanashchenko is also well known, and he needs to come out and express it at this time.
Apanashchenko didn't say it directly, but just glanced down at it before saying, "How do you think the food problem can be solved?" ”
Boryshav was slightly stunned, Apanashchenko has always rarely asked for the opinions of others, and the authoritarian violence of paternalism is notoriously violent, why did he suddenly ask?
However, under Apanashchenko's aggressive gaze, he did not dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Ulaanbaatar is in a frequent emergency, we must go to the rescue there first." We have a large reserve warehouse in Ulaanbaatar, where a lot of food and other supplies have piled up because the command ordered to ensure the delivery of ammunition and weapons first. As long as we open the road to Ulaanbaatar, we can stabilize the situation of the army with those supplies and the cattle and sheep of the surrounding tribes. ”
The chief of staff next to him, Smorodinov, listened expressionlessly, but he sneered in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, this method is a safe approach. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable for the army of blades to become chaotic once they were in chaos because of the problem of food. However, this is a special situation, and there is simply no time for Apanashchenko to be safe.
Moscow's ultimatum, he also learned. If he can't do it, he's just as unlucky. And Apanashchenko will be even more unlucky.
Although Stalin also knew his loyalty, otherwise he would not have been put in this position.
But if the sign of the incompetent defeated general is hung in front of his xiong, I am afraid that he, a general who is about to be promoted, will also be coldly attacked by others and fall. Don't say anything about loyalty, there are many more in the Far Eastern Military District shouting that loyalty is available. And the punishment of the military commissar Zheltov must have been much smaller.
Thinking of this, he suddenly envied the old fox who stayed in the headquarters of the Far Eastern Army in Boli.
"We don't have enough to eat, maybe less than three days. And even if the road to Ulaanbaatar is opened in the rear, it will take a lot of effort and time. And there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese people opposite us, but they will not give us enough time. Apanashchenko was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Everyone knows that the Germans are watching us in the West, and that Japan itself is making a foolish move in the Far East, and we can only deter our ill-intentioned neighbors with a victory. So this war, we must win. Time is of the essence, and we have no way back! Apanashchenko's voice was a little low, but there was a murderous light in his squinted eyes, and he stared directly at Borishev, who had stopped talking, and continued with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Food does not only come from our rear, the vast land of China is full of food that we can take at will, and even more merits and wealth. In order to punish these aggressors, we also need to tell the Chinese people who are ruled by the lackeys of imperialism the truth about the aggressors' ugly faces. In order to cover up the splashing of the red fruit in the eyes of the crowd, Apanashchenko finally added a righteous and awe-inspiring sentence.
"Huaxia is a good place! As Apanashchenko's words fell, someone below was already muttering in a whisper.
"Yes, cross the border, there's more food over there!" The greed in someone's eyes still flowed out. On the other side of the border line, military exploits, honors, wealth, and women, it seems, everything is there, and some people's heads begin to heat up, and they forget the misery of these days.
"For the sake of the motherland, for the sake of the alliance, my order is still to attack forward!" Apanashchenko ordered again with a blank face, and the next thing was to fight to the death!
