The shiny bayonet was dazzling, and the cold blade was cold.

The convoy of troop carriers marched neatly on the road, and the shock to Toliavsky and others was too great. At this moment, in addition to holding their breath, they were more watching, and they didn't dare to move at all. They all knew that if they were discovered, there would be absolutely no way for them to escape. If there were people who thought that if they were discovered, it would be a big deal to flee back to the Soviet Union, now that such thoughts have disappeared and are replaced by prayers that they will not be discovered. Because they did not have the confidence to escape safely from the pursuit of these soldiers in front of them and return to the Soviet Union.

When the last military truck also disappeared from the corner, Toliavsky and others breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure on these soldiers was too great. They didn't want to run into such a large force in the rear of others. It's a problem in terms of numbers, and besides, it's still the home field. Stand there and let them kill, they can't kill a few.

As before, Tolyavsky was counting the numbers, and when all the military cards had passed, he came up with a number, at least fifteen thousand, exactly the size of a division. If it was an elite Soviet infantry division, it would be about the same amount. If you put it on an ordinary infantry division, more than 15,000 people, it is equivalent to two Soviet infantry divisions.

In the Soviet Union, there was enough for an infantry division of 15,000 people, including a howitzer regiment, a cannon regiment, plus communications, logistics, command, anti-tank, air defense, etc. And in the USSR, there were not many such troops, and perhaps they were scarce. Such units are the main forces, and more often are ordinary infantry divisions of 6000-8000 people.

When Toliavsky and the others saw that the Chinese army was no longer visible on the road, they wanted to get up and leave, and they couldn't stay in this place anymore, which was a great test for their hearts. At this moment, another convoy drove up at the end of the road in the distance. Their bodies were about to get up, and they hid again.

The same equipment as the previous infantry division, basically everything is the same, as if time has been regressed. Just now the convoy went through again, but they all knew that some places were different, at least this time there was a lot more artillery, and there were a lot more anti-aircraft guns.

As time passed, the convoy once again disappeared around the corner. However, the matter is not over, and there are follow-up convoys arriving later, one trip after another. In the eyes of these Soviet soldiers, it was as if the cars on the road could not be stopped.

Convoys pass by in front of them, and every time they feel that the convoy is over, a new convoy will appear in the distance. It made them extremely depressed, and in order to prevent being discovered, Toliavsky and the others did not move for a long time.

They have seen a lot and are almost immune to the equipment of the Chinese army. And the weapons and equipment that appeared behind them were not outstanding, and they just watched the trucks pass in front of them in a blank manner.

Tolyavsky has a lot of knowledge, otherwise he would not have become the commander of this small unit. But the more you know, the more surprises you get. Not to mention the appearance of the Chinese army, he was already shocked by the fact that there were so many trucks. According to his estimates, there were at least fifteen thousand trucks passing in front of him, and all of them were military trucks. And he didn't see any units of the Chinese army that were not equipped with trucks, and even the marching troops were all trucks, and such troops were rare in the Soviet Union. Not to mention the average troops, it would be nice to have a third of the soldiers equipped with trucks.

Once again, the convoy disappeared around the corner, but Tolyavsky and the others did not bother to get up, but instead looked to the other side of the road to see if there was another convoy coming. This has become their habit at this time.

The Chinese side did not let them wait long, and another convoy appeared in their eyes. The trucks in the convoy were huge, and they were not at all comparable to those troop carriers. Moreover, the defense force in the convoy is very tight, basically every few truck shops, there is an armored car guarding. At the same time, the distance between the cars of this team was very long, as if there was a contagion, and they did not dare to get too close.

Fuel trucks, the name flashed when Toliavsky and others saw the convoy. The Soviets themselves also had tankers, but they were all converted from trucks, and they were few in number and not loaded in large quantities.

Nowadays, when they see the fuel trucks in China, everyone's mouths are wide open, and some people don't even notice the snow that is about to reach their mouths. They had never seen such a huge truck. The movement on the road is not smaller than that of a tank, and the height is also very amazing, the height of the front of the car is two and a half meters, to say the least, such a truck can be said to be a giant.

And the body is still very long, fully worthy of the length of two personnel carriers. The whole truck, except for the front of the truck, is a huge fuel tank, and in the back of the truck, there is also a tank with four wheels. Although it is not as good as the mailbox of the oil truck itself, it is not comparable to the general oil truck.

The speed of the oil truck is not very fast, but the shock brought to them is too great. According to Tolyavsky's estimates, such a fuel truck can hold at least a dozen tons of fuel, and if you add the small fuel tank carried at the back, then such a fuel truck can hold at least 25 tons of fuel. This is a very frightening figure, five times the amount of fuel transported by military trucks. And it is faster to add oil.

In fact, Toliavsky estimated that he was a little conservative, such a fuel truck, plus a small fuel tank at the back, could pull thirty tons of fuel at a time. This kind of oil tank is the best logistics support force to ensure the rapid approach of the armored group, as long as there is this kind of oil tank to follow the supply, the combat effectiveness of the armored group will soar several times. Because sometimes, one plus one doesn't necessarily equal two.

But this kind of oil truck has relatively high requirements for road conditions, but one thing is certain, as long as the Chinese tiger can walk on flat ground, there is basically no problem, the main premise is to be on flat ground.

If Zhukov could see these oil trucks with his own eyes, he would know what the predecessors of these oil trucks were. When he participated in the military parade of the founding of China, Zhukov had seen such a truck, but at that time the body was not loaded with fuel. Now it's just a matter of converting this car into a gasoline car.

By the time the oil truck had passed, the road had quieted down, and this time Tolyavsky and the others could not wait for anything more. After confirming that no new convoy was passing, Tolyavsky motioned to get up and return to the woods. After receiving the order, Bervshka and the others quickly got up. Ten minutes later, they all turned back into the woods. Toliavsky had to think hard about what to do next.

Now if they were told that there was not a camp with heavy Chinese troops in front of them, they would not believe it. The facts are already in front of them, and they already have to believe it. Even if it wasn't before, now that so many troops have joined, it's not a yes.

Tolyavsky believed that at least 300,000 Chinese troops had gathered in front, because he had seen no less than eight integrated divisions passing by, and that there were 120,000 troops, as well as other troops. You must know that the supplies sent above can feed 300,000 people for at least three days, and if you save a little, there is no problem with eating for four or five days. It was full of fresh meat and vegetables, and Tolyavsky didn't think that those things, the Chinese army planned to eat them for more than ten days.

By this time it was noon, and they had been lying on their stomachs at the edge of the woods for three or four hours. During this period, they didn't dare to make too many moves, but fortunately, they were all scouts and had training in this area, otherwise if they were someone else, it was estimated that their hands and feet would be so numb that they couldn't walk.

"Comrades, the target is very close to us, and you must be able to see that perhaps not far from the front is the Chinese army station. It's our good fortune and it's a test for us. If we are careful, we will all die here. Now we have to make further confirmations, as long as we can confirm that this is the garrison of the Chinese army, then we can successfully complete the mission. Toliavsky said to his comrades gathered around him. He spoke quietly, as if he were afraid of being heard.

Bervshka and the others nodded, apparently agreeing with Toliavsky's words. If there were still people who were skeptical about this, then these so-called skepticisms have disappeared by this time.

"Okay, in that case, I've decided, you all stay here, and I'll go with Bervshka. The less people involved in this matter, the better, to prevent the more people from exposing their whereabouts and being detected by the Chinese army. Toliavsky spoke again.

The others nodded again, signaling that they understood.

Receiving Toliavsky's order, Bervshka nodded, he unloaded his rifle and handed it to his comrades. He pulled out his pistol and took the telescope from Toliavsky.

"You have to be vigilant, and if you don't have a situation, it's better not to leave. If the Chinese army comes, or if we do not come back for more than an hour, you should rush back and report the situation here to the commander, Comrade Zhukov. Everything needs to be safe, and at least one of us must go back alive to report the situation. ”

Before leaving, Toliavsky made a final explanation. Then he disappeared into the woods with Bervshka.

The Soviet soldiers who were left here did not dare to be careless, even if Tolyavsky, who was the leader of the team, left, they did not dare to slack off, because it was related to their own lives.

Half of them took up their weapons and went into the woods to take a look, while the others sat together, watching what was going on.

It's just that they don't know that they have been targeted since they entered this wood. At this point they are the prey, the hunter is on top of their heads, and the hunting spectacle is about to begin.
