Chapter Eighty-Seven: Goal Chita Continued

The cold wind blows in the empty wilderness of Siberia, and the biting cold wind blows like a knife on the face of a person. At this time, Sun Liren was sitting in the Type 63 armored command vehicle, staring at the map but frowning, because of the weather, the reconnaissance plane could not take off, and he was also blind to the enemy situation in Chita, and the enemy situation was unknown, which was a taboo for marching and fighting.

"Order the troops to speed up again." Sun Liren, who was anxious, ordered the staff officer next to him and said.

"Division, our Type 59 tanks can only reach a maximum speed of 30 to 35 kilometers per hour in this road condition, and if we let the personnel carrier speed up, it will be out of touch with the tank." The staff officer explained helplessly.

Sun Liren patted his head, "You see, I forgot that the troops have been reequipped with Type 63 armored personnel carriers, and I thought that I was riding an SDKFZ251 half-track armored transport vehicle,"

The young staff officer stuck out his tongue, "If it's still the open half-track armored transport vehicle like the SDKFZ251, the soldiers will be frozen, what kind of battle are they fighting." But speaking of which, Chief Su doesn't have anything to say about our division, if there are any good things, I always think of our division first. This is a good thing that even the 1st Panzer Division is not equipped with. There was a pride in the staff officer's words.

"No nonsense." Sun Liren's face sank.

"Division Commander Bai, they fought very bravely in the last battle with Zhukov's First Army, and this time they are resting in Ulaanbaatar, and I believe it will not be long before they will be equipped with new tanks and armored vehicles." After a pause, Sun Liren explained: "Last time, Master Bai, they fought with Lao Maozi with the French Somoa S-35 tank that we eliminated to them, and this is their ability." Although we have changed our clothes, we cannot say such things that are not conducive to unity. It would be chilling if the brother troops knew. ”

After Su Tong reminded him from time to time, Sun Liren has also made great progress in the way of dealing with people, and he knows that he can't rely on one person or a unit to conquer the world, and if he can't have a good relationship with his colleagues, he will be blind if he asks for help in the future.

"Yes! Humble duty understands. The staff officer said loudly.

"It's good to know, and quickly order the troops to follow." Sun Liren said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The city of Chita is the capital of Chita Oblast, located in Eastern Siberia, at the confluence of the Chita and Ингода rivers, 6,064 kilometers from Moscow, with an area of 653 square kilometers and an altitude of 200 meters. It has a population of more than 200,000 people, and the main ethnic groups living in the area are Russians, Mongolians, Han Chinese and Cossacks. The main artery of the Trans-Siberian Railway passed through Chita, and the Northeast Manchuria Railway also connected to the city of Chita, which was also the largest transport hub in Transbaikalia at that time.

Today, as soon as the sky dawned, the commander of the Chita garrison brigade, the commander of the Chita garrison brigade, Colonel Stepan Bydrovich Shakov, felt a pang of restlessness as soon as he got up, and he always felt that something was going to happen. A few days ago, he received an order from Moscow that General Timoshenko of the Kiev Front was to lead his Kiev Front, which had more than 400,000 troops, to pass through Chita for Vladivostok in the middle of this month, and to make preparations for receiving him along the way. Colonel Szepan and the mayor of Chita, Zaitsev, worked for several days to prepare large quantities of food and supplies for the passing troops. I was busy until late last night, and it was finally over, but Colonel Sjepan always felt like there was something he hadn't done.

Two days ago, when he heard that the 2nd and 3rd armies of the Far Eastern Military District had surrendered to the Chinese army, Colonel Stipan's first reaction was impossible. How could the brave Russian Red Army surrender to the cowardly Chinese army? This was definitely a rumor, but then the development of events was beyond his expectations, first the command of the Far Eastern Military District ordered Chita's troops to be on increased alert, and then Moscow ordered the Kiev Front to move to Vladivostok and Chita to do a good job of reception along the way. This is enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation. Forget it, let's order the troops to be on heightened alert. Looking at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky through the window, Colonel Stepan walked out of his bachelor apartment, a gust of cold wind hit Colonel Stepan couldn't help but shiver, he wrapped his military coat and walked quickly to the Gorky car parked at the door, ready to go to the station in the center of the city to check the security of supplies, lately there have always been some people coming to steal food, these damn thieves if they catch Colonel Stepan swore to send them all to the gallows.

On the outskirts of Chita City, Sun Liren's 101st Division finally arrived here after two days and one night. At this time, Sun Liren was standing on a dirt slope with a telescope in his hand to observe the defense of Chita City, which was very lax due to the long-term tranquility of the city's defenders. The defenders stationed on the outskirts had only built a few shallow trenches in the southwest facing Mongolia, and because they had been built so old that they were almost all leveled, the defenders had only scribbled a few sentry posts, and most of the remaining soldiers hid in the barracks to roast and sleep.

Seeing that the Russian army's defense was so lax, Sun Liren couldn't help but sneer, it seems that even God is helping me. The military camp of more than 4,000 people can defeat them all with just one charge, but the defeat is not the result that Sun Liren wants, what he wants is to annihilate them all.

Sun Liren turned around and told the chief of staff, "Order the tanker truck to fill up the tank vehicle, and the maintenance detachment will rush to overhaul and inspect the tank vehicle, and we will launch an attack at noon." ”

"Yes." The chief of staff went to convey the order with joy in his eyes.

At noon, a Gorky car drove into the military camp in the suburbs, and the Russian soldiers guarding the gate saluted one after another, because there was not a single car in the entire barracks except for their brigade commander, and it was said that this was given to him by the brigade commander's brother-in-law in a real department in Moscow in the name of scrapping the car.

Colonel Sjepan walked to the cafeteria and saw that the soldiers were eating. He smiled and greeted the head cook, who was standing by the windowsill handing out food to the soldiers, "Daddy Ivan, what delicious food did you cook today?" ”

Father Ivan, who is almost sixty years old this year, has the fat body of a standard chef, and when he heard the brigade commander asking, he replied without looking back while tinkering with the food in the pot, "What can there be to eat, it's not the same as before, mashed potatoes with brown bread." ”

Colonel Sjepan was about to say something with a smile when a violent explosion came from near the dining hall interrupted him.

"It's not good, it's an enemy attack." Colonel Sjepan immediately recognized the sound of a zero-caliber howitzer, and as the explosion sounded, the cafeteria suddenly became a mess.

"Don't panic, everyone hurry to the arsenal to get weapons and ammunition, and go to the trenches." Colonel Sjepan hissed and commanded loudly with all his might.

At this time, a Russian soldier rushed in from the door of the canteen, and as soon as he entered, he shouted: "Comrade brigade commander, the enemy is attacking." ”

"What are you panicking, you have to remember that you are a glorious soldier of the Red Army. Okay, now take me to the front. Although he was a little flustered, Colonel Sjepan still had to put on the calm attitude that a brigade commander should have.

Colonel Sjepan led several Russian soldiers to the gate of the camp, and without binoculars, he could see that the group of steel monsters rushing over the sky outside had suddenly crossed the shallow trenches and were rushing towards the barracks.

"Oh, Virgin Mary, what kind of tank is that, and why is it so fast?" Colonel Sjepan's mouth opened wide in amazement.
