"What? Failed? Hearing that the mission failed, Shatoiv was stunned suddenly, and angrily threw the steel teacup in his hand to the ground: "Invested so many troops, you told me that you failed?" ”

In the makeshift command center, the atmosphere was tense and dreary, and several Russian officers bowed their heads in fear, not knowing what to say. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This mission is a plan that they have been preparing for a long time, from the beginning, to the process, to the end, it can be said that they have the most rigorous plan, this is the most perfect plan they have prepared since the beginning of the war, and it seems that the success rate seems to be more than 90 percent.

For this plan, Shatoiv risked the danger to gather nearly 10,000 Russian troops, and walked more than 300 kilometers in the snow, bypassing the reconnaissance points of the Chinese on the front line, and quietly approached the target.

And it took so much effort to bring the troops here, and now they tell themselves that the mission has failed? Collapse at the touch of a button?

"Your Excellency General, the soldiers have been very attentive, but our supplies are too scarce, before going to the battlefield, the soldiers can not even have a full meal, can only endure the cold and hunger to fight the enemy, and the enemy's cunning is far beyond our expectations, no matter how we arrange the task, the enemy always has a battalion that is not within our attack range, this battalion after the battle began, quickly went around the back of our attack force, and attacked the target before and after, resulting in the failure of the mission, And then in the same way they attacked the troops in the other direction. At this time, a lieutenant colonel officer stepped forward and explained, but this was not the final result, the lieutenant colonel officer hesitated slightly, and finally continued: "We waited for the enemy's baggage team, but they seemed to have received the news in advance, the enemy's infantry had already exchanged fire with us before the large force entered the ambush circle, and this time, two tanks were also involved in the battle. ”

"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!" Shatoiv roared angrily, he didn't want to listen to any reasons for failure, people who failed, there will always be countless reasons to explain themselves, but Shatoiv, as the commander of this battle, who should he explain the reasons for defeat? No one will listen to his explanation, the above will only look at the results of this battle, and the above will only think that it is because of his recklessness that the mission failed and the troops suffered losses.

As soon as he thought of the troops dispatched in this battle, in exchange for such a result, Shatoiv could not hold back his anger: "10,000 people, 10,000 troops to attack the enemy army of more than 3,000 people, and they were defeated so badly? And what happened to the tank? Haven't you fought tanks before? Haven't you ever destroyed tanks? ”

"Your Excellency, no one wants to see such a result, but the enemy is dispatching the latest tanks this time, which are fundamentally different from the tanks we have seen, and the fire is more rapid, and with the protection of the infantry, we can't get close at all." The previous lieutenant colonel continued to argue.

"Sergey, I don't care what your reasons are, and I don't care what unpredictable situation is happening there in the enemy, now, I order you to immediately go and gather your troops, and wait until after dark, and then attack the enemy again, no matter how big the casualties are, in short, I must take it today." Shatoiv slapped the table fiercely, "No matter how difficult it is, we must succeed in this battle, otherwise, even if the higher authorities do not hold us accountable, we ourselves will freeze to death and starve to death because of the loss of supplies." ”

Shatoiv is really not broken, the war has been fought until now, the Russian army's battlefield casualties have been soaring, since the beginning of winter, the war has finally stopped, but the Russian army has also lost the ability to counterattack, and before the winter, Shatoiv still has more than 20,000 troops in his hands, but now, he can only mobilize about 10,000 people.

Nearly half of the non-combat attrition, this result is unacceptable to him, and even more difficult to face, if it continues like this, Shatoiv even dares to guarantee that after this winter, the army will no longer exist?

The Russians, in their own territory, in the winter on their own territory, which should have been their most active period, had such a serious non-combat attrition, while there were hardly any non-combat attrition from the Chinese opposite.

However, now it is not a matter of caring about the face of Russia, but they must take the 606th Regiment and seize their supplies, as long as the plan can succeed, then no matter how many people they lose, they will not be held accountable, and they may even be promoted.

Shatoiv made up his mind to attack the 606th Regiment again, and in order to avoid defeat during the day, Shatoiv planned to attack at night, which happened to be a good way to hide their figures, so that the enemy's tanks could not exert their maximum combat effectiveness, and also made their success rate higher.

If it were not for the fact that they could ensure that the Chinese were robbed, they would definitely choose to fight back at night, but now it seems that everything is too late, and it is not impossible to counterattack at night, but the troops are a little nervous.

No one in the command dared to resist Shatoyev's decision, because the highest rank here is Shatoyev, and then there is Lieutenant Colonel Sergei, and in this war, the losses of the Russian army are extremely heavy, as can be seen from their troops alone.

Originally, there were five officers of the rank of general, now there is only one left, there are more than twenty officers of the rank of colonel, and now Sergei, who has the highest rank in the ranks, has also become the only lieutenant colonel, and there are two majors below, yes, they have only three colonel-level officers left.

Most of the troops below are controlled by lieutenants and temporarily promoted squad leaders and veterans, and the Russian army has lost its combat effectiveness, but in this case, they are not allowed to withdraw from the battle, so they can only forcibly grit their teeth and hold on.

…………

"Damn, why didn't he heed our warning?" After leaving the command, Sergei could no longer hide his anger and roared in a low voice of anger.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" A major followed and chimed in, the war has reached this point, and there is no need to speculate on what the result will be if it continues to fight, and no one wants to make unnecessary sacrifices, including these officers.

"What else can we do?" Sergei asked rhetorically, "How many troops do we have?" ”

"There are about five thousand people left, and morale is low, and another attack could cause some serious problems."

"What? Less than five thousand? Sergei was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but want to scold his mother in his heart, and then asked: "Didn't the data reported before lose about 3,000 people?" ”

"That's just a simple data conjecture made by the commanders of each unit based on the battlefield situation, and now there are less than 5,000 troops coming back, and I heard that many people have escaped halfway."

"Damn, what are we going to do with that?" Sergei felt a little weak and at a loss.

If he still had about 7,000 men in his hands, he would have dared to command his troops to launch an attack at night, but now there were less than 5,000 men left, and if he had given the order to attack again, he could even have predicted that the number of these troops would probably be reduced to less than 4,000 at night, or even less.

Desertion occurs in every unit, and all the troops on the entire front-line battlefield combined, the number of deserters in a single day is at least 5,000, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the already overstretched Russian army, and the Russian army's top brass wants to stop it, and even formulates strict punishment regulations.

But it had little effect, they couldn't stop it at all, sometimes a company or a battalion went out in search of food, and then it disappeared as a formation, and sometimes the higher ranks sent troops to follow them and supervise them, but even the overseers ran with them.

This passive situation makes the Russian army unable to deal with it at all, and to solve this problem, we can only rely on the help of the rear, only when the rear transports a large number of living materials to the front line to ensure the material needs of the troops, the desertion incident will gradually extinguish, instead of transporting those weapons and ammunition that cannot be eaten and drunk every day.

"Sir, why don't we retreat with the general?" An officer whispered a proposal.

Sergei glanced at the other party lightly, sighed, shook his head and said: "Don't say this kind of thing anymore, this kind of thing can't be hidden at all, unless we all die in the end, otherwise, our family will definitely be affected." ”

"But sir, we have lost the ability to attack, and if we attack again, the troops may even mutiny......

"The mutiny will also be attacked, the anger in the rear is not something we can bear, don't say any more, let's disperse, go to the troops to do ideological work, tonight at ten o'clock, we will attack." Sergei shook his head violently, and continued to cheer for his officers: "In the future, whether you will eat or drink spicy food, or become a prisoner, it depends on tonight's battle, success or failure is here, I hope you can focus on the overall situation." ”

Sergei also has all kinds of helplessness, he is just a regimental commander, but as more and more officers are killed, there is no longer a middle-level officer by the general's side, Sergei was promoted, but this result is not what Sergei wants, at this time, he would rather stay in the troops below than come to the command to suffer this kind of evil bag.

But he had no choice, unless he killed Shatoif and all those who were unwilling to flee or were with them, the matter would be leaked sooner or later.

The rear has dealt with a group of deserters' families, the old ones are directly killed, the young and small ones are directly assigned to the army, and they are used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, no one hopes that their families will also be after them, and this kind of move makes the Russian army on the front line very hateful, but they dare not make any excessive moves.
