After a night of silence, the next day, just after dawn, the 1st Tank Battalion and the accompanying infantry jumped up from their makeshift beds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past, they would never feel that they had enough time to sleep, but here, they can't wait to sleep for only one hour a day, and sleeping seems to be the hardest thing of the day.

Zhu Kuan shook his head violently, his head was a little dizzy, don't think about it, it must be the prelude to a cold, the infantry outside had already gotten up, and boiled a lot of hot water, it seems that only hot water can warm up their bodies.

Of course, there is a lot of wine in their entourage, but no one dares to drink more of this thing, drink two sips when they sleep at night, and drink two sips when they wake up in the middle of the night.

Crush the hard compressed biscuits and throw them into the rice bowl, and after a while, a sticky breakfast will be formed, although the taste is not very good, but it is very suitable for the current conditions, which can make the body produce heat as soon as possible.

Although their appetite has also been raised over the years, after all, they are from a poor background, and they have not suffered anything before? Frankly speaking, the little suffering I suffer now is not bitter at all compared to before.

Although the weather is very cold, they are not short of cotton clothes, at most it is a little cold when they sleep at night, but at least they don't have to live that kind of hungry and cold life, at least, now they can eat enough every day, and it is not so cold.

After a simple breakfast, everyone fills the kettle with boiling hot water and stuffs the hot kettle into their clothes, which is also a way to keep warm.

As for the water, it is not the kind of well water that is often eaten, but the snow collected from the vicinity, the melted water, although it is not so hygienic, but there is no pollution in this era, the snow is still relatively clean, and after high temperature disinfection, people will not have any big problems drinking it.

Perhaps, this is the only benefit of winter, they don't have to travel dozens of kilometers for water.

Fortunately, in another month or so, the snow will almost melt here, and the temperature will start to increase, and they will be more accustomed to the environment.

But before then, they have more difficult tasks to do.

At about nine o'clock, the commander of the armored reconnaissance company who had set out in advance to reconnoiter the situation turned back, and their group carried eight radio stations, one for the armored reconnaissance company, one for the tank battalion, and five for the infantry regiment.

The armored reconnaissance company had arrived at the intended position of attack, and had roughly recorded the terrain there, which could have been transmitted by radio, but had not been told in person.

In addition, the armored reconnaissance company needed to provide tactical advice to the tank battalion and infantry regiment, so the commander of the armored reconnaissance company ordered the troops to continue to observe the situation in the small town of Belka, and at the same time personally turned back and participated in the development of tactics.

The team stopped, and the commander of the armored reconnaissance company, the commander of the tank battalion, and the commander of the infantry regiment gathered together to discuss the latest situation.

"We've even reached the outskirts of Belka, but the situation is not ideal." As he spoke, Song Yi, the commander of the armored reconnaissance company, drew a zigzag line on the ground, then drew a circle in the upper left corner of the line, and then a straight line, passing through the circle, and in the east of the circle, crossing the zigzag line.

Pointing to the winding line and the circle and the straight line and the place directly below the right, he said: "There is a river here, the river is about five to ten meters wide, the river is very long, I sent two reconnaissance vehicles to the upstream and downstream to find the bridge, but don't get too hopeful, our tanks weigh 12.5 tons in battle, and there are no bridges in Russia for tanks to pass through at the moment." The town is in this location, where the railway crosses the river, and there is a bridge through which the only way for tanks to enter the town is through this railway bridge.

But in this case, we must divide our forces to protect the railway bridge and ensure that it is not blown up by the enemy, otherwise, it is unlikely that we will be able to retreat the same way, and after completing the mission, we will have to move north. And in the north there is a group of mountains, the mountains are not high, but according to our experience, it is estimated that there are a lot of low cliffs, which are not conducive to the movement of our mechanized troops.

And here, there is an ordinary bridge, made of wood, and there is no problem for pedestrians to pass, even my reconnaissance vehicle may not be able to pass. ”

"Why don't we blow up the bridge?" Gong Chao, the commander of the tank battalion, frowned and said that blowing up the bridge is the easiest way and the longest way to delay the enemy's logistics, but the problem is that for them, blowing up the bridge is not the best plan.

"No, this bridge can't be blown up, if we solve the battle behind before the Russians build this bridge, when the big army advances, the railway can only go here, and the train can't turn around here, it's a dead end at all, and our supplies will be more and more tight." The commander of the infantry regiment, Long Wenwen, directly rejected the plan to blow up the bridge.

"Yes, I don't recommend blowing up the bridge either, less than 500 meters to the west of this bridge is Belka station, where there are four railroad tracks, and when the train can turn around there, blowing up the bridge will not be worth the loss for us." Song Yi nodded in agreement, if there was no station in Belka, the bridge would have been blown up, but now the station is a few hundred meters away, but they have blown up the bridge, and the problem of the impact will be serious.

"The Russians probably won't blow up this railway in the short term, if we choose to keep this railway, we can't get too far from here after that, and send people to keep an eye on it, and once the Russians show signs of blowing up the bridge, we will immediately come out and stop it." Gong Chao said, but this method doesn't seem to be very reliable, what if the Russians quietly bomb it at night? Instead, he continued, "But why do we have to evacuate? It's better to occupy this place directly, and then send troops to garrison it, perhaps, we can apply for support and block some of the Russian support forces here. ”

"Okay, let's report this matter first, see what it means, no matter what the above decides, we must occupy this town, and then go west to destroy the railway. What is the deployment of troops in the town? Long Wen nodded, this method is not impossible, a decisive battle, it is impossible to have only one battle, there must be more or less other battles to be summed up in order to be a complete battle, but this kind of thing is not a matter of concern to them, before receiving a reply from their superiors, their task is to occupy Belka, and then move westward, choosing a suitable location to cut off the railway.

"There are not many people in the town, mainly the army, which should be to guard this railway, among which there is about a platoon of Russian troops at the railway bridge, and there is about a company of troops there." Song Yi said that the number of troops is judged by the number of houses in the town, and no one knows whether it is accurate or not.

The small town of Belka is so small, more than five times smaller than Abagaitui, and most of the houses are still located on either side of the station.

"It is impossible to swim across the river in arms, if we arrive in the town and still do not find the bridge upstream or downstream, we will storm the two bridges, this wooden bridge will be the main attack by our infantry regiment, the reconnaissance company will transfer two reconnaissance vehicles to us, and the tank battalion will also transfer two tanks to come over just in case.

The railway bridge will be attacked by the tank battalion, and I will send a battalion of troops to support you, and the reconnaissance company will leave some reconnaissance vehicles on the south bank to continue reconnaissance, and the rest will go over the railway bridge with the tank battalion, and then go north to reconnoiter the enemy. After crossing the bridge, our regiment would rush directly to the station and deal with the enemy there, the tank battalion would send some tanks to the north to set up defenses, and the rest of the tanks would go to the west, and we would make the decision after we had taken Belka. Long Wen commanded.

"Okay, no problem!" Song Yi and Gong Chao nodded, there was no pressure on a company of thousands of troops to fight a small town where a company was stationed, and even a battalion of troops could not be used up, and everyone felt that it was normal for Long Wenwen to be cautious, after all, this is a battlefield, and it is better to be well prepared than to regret it if something goes wrong.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have so many troops, and they don't have only one platoon or one company, and no one is available?

Subsequently, Long Wenwen ordered the signal soldiers to report their plan to set up a defensive position with Belka as the center to attract nearby Russian troops to attack here, and at the same time, he also hoped that his superiors would send a support army to support.

As for what the superiors think, they don't care about this, anyway, they just suggest that if the superiors agree, then they will build a line of defense, if they don't agree, they will run away after the fight, and they won't lose anything anyway.

Although the plan of the dragon article was that all the troops would be deployed, the terrain of the battlefield was too narrow to deploy so many troops.

After receiving the task, Gong Chao just transferred a platoon of tanks and followed a company of infantry to prepare to start attacking the railway bridge. Of course, the tanks did not dare to fire in the past, they could only use the coaxial machine guns on the tanks to provide fire suppression to the infantry, in case the quality of the railway bridge is not up to par, who will reason with the sinking of the bridge with one shot?
