Chapter 752: Catching Turtles in the Urn (5)

However, if he excavates near the Russian railway line too early, the target will be exposed, so the only thing that Yao Yi can do in the entire defense is to build a 'traffic' passage along the 50-meter-deep ground along the south bank of Lake Baikal during the time of occupation of this area, and it is impossible to build fortifications a few meters from the surface, otherwise, once the enemy discovers it, it will be useless.

It is said that it is the best choice, the main reason is because of Lake Baikal, with it, if the Russian army reacts too quickly and cannot complete the construction of fortifications along Lake Baikal as planned, and Lake Baikal resists the flight of the Russian army, so, in this regard, this is the best choice.

As far as Russia is concerned, whether it is their commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Theater or the supreme commander-in-chief, the response is the most agile, and when they found out that Ulan-Ude was magically occupied by Yao Yi's army, they immediately ordered the rear army to attack Ulan-Ude.

That is, in two days, they did not conquer, but found that the number of Yao Yi's troops was getting more and more, and at this time, what Yao Yi could do was to completely seal all the passages to Lake Baikal and build a ten-kilometer-wide fortification, but on the southern shore of Lake Baikal, in addition to the underground 'traffic' passage that had already been constructed, only a few lines of defense could be hastily built, and the Russian army soon discovered Yao Yi's defensive leaks. At this time, the two million reinforcements who had arrived from the direction of Irkutsk also began to attack the border between the shores of Lake Baikal and the fortified area of the overall defense system, hoping to tear a passage from the southernmost point of Lake Baikal and let their troops break through along the lake.

The Russians think well, but Yao Yi is not stupid, he understands very well that in addition to taking the city of Ulan-Ude and breaking out from the east of Lake Baikal, the only way to break out is to choose the southernmost point of Lake Baikal to break out, and once they break through, they can enter Irkutsk, because it is the closest place to Irkutsk.

If this place can't break through, he has to choose the weakest place for Yao Yi's defense, break the defense of the southern shore of Lake Baikal, and break through Lake Baikal.

Because in November, Baikal will freeze over, so it is possible to abandon heavy equipment and cross Lake Baikal on foot.

Of course, all this is just speculation, and in the process of advancing westward, the Russian army destroyed Yao Yi's temporary fortifications with great force, and a large number of Yao Yi's defenders had to retreat westward, defending step by step.

At the same time, Yao Yi has seen the intentions of the Russian army, so nearly six million troops have been arranged in the southernmost official office of Lake Baikal, and other armies are still reinforcing in a steady stream.

One after another extremely tragic battles started non-stop, the Russian army can be said to attack in turns, not giving Yao Yi's army any respite at all, the good thing is that Yao Yi's army can get more rest, at least wearing cotton clothes, can go to the fifty-meter-deep 'cave' to rest, and can also have enough food supplies.

At this time, the Russian army is miserable, since Ulan-Ude was cut off, their food supply has been interrupted, and the supply of weapons and equipment has also been interrupted, which means that in the near future, the Russian army will be hungry to fight, and what makes them even more worried is that Lake Baikal, which has just entered October, is getting colder and colder day by day, when they enter the outside' In ancient times, autumn military uniforms were worn, but the weather here was enough to drop by more than a dozen degrees as long as there was a cold Siberian snap, and the temperature dropped even more at night.

In this regard, Yao Yi has been prepared for a long time, preparing a large number of warm clothes to ensure that the soldiers are not frozen, and the Russian army should be more familiar with their weather, better understood, and should reserve military uniforms for the winter.

To tell the truth, they really had a stockpile, and a lot of them, in every city, but the soldiers did not wear them, let alone carry them with them, as for Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, as well as the outside. More importantly, this year's cold snap is half a month earlier than in previous years, as long as it is less than zero degrees Celsius, the clothes worn by these troops can completely resist the wind and cold, besides, the Russians are relatively procrastinating in doing things, and they only start to do things at the final stage, and they will not prepare in advance like the Chinese, according to the convention, when the weather is very cold, they will start to distribute cotton clothes and other materials, when they enter the outside' In the ancient days of Meng', it was still the autumn of September, and when it came to October, the cotton clothes had not yet arrived, and they were surrounded by Yao Yi.

Even if I think about it, I can't transport it in, because the railway line from Europe to Siberia and the Far East is occupied by Yao Yi, and only Russian transport planes can be dispatched, but Yao Yi has already deployed air defense forces to intercept along the way. It is impossible for the Russian transport plane to come in, and Yao Yi will not allow a cotton coat and a grain to be brought in, otherwise, it will not be called an encirclement.

At this time, the only way for Russia is to open a channel, and as long as one channel is opened, they will be completely rescued.

However, Yao Yi's strong reserve of soldiers, coupled with the fortifications and rockets coming from all directions, how could the Russian army break through this defensive line?

Although Russian ballistic missiles are used to help Yao Yi's position bombarded indiscriminately, it will not play any role, after all, it is a defensive position twenty kilometers wide, not to mention twenty kilometers, it is the original ten-kilometer defensive position, and Russia's ballistic missiles have no effect, in addition, the number of these ballistic missiles is limited, even if some of the fortifications are destroyed, Yao Yi's escape machine can still be quickly repaired.

To say that this is the most suitable is to use strategic bombers, however, Yao Yi's air defense capability is so strong that even the American stealth fighters cannot break through his air defense system, not to mention that the Russian strategic bombers have no way to compare with the United States, and they can only shrink to the European part and dare not come out.

The war went on like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the Russian army still had not made the slightest progress, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
