Chapter 473: Enemy Traces Found

readx; The situation on the side of the vanguard was quickly transmitted back to the rear troops, and the company commander Lian Shan looked at the more than ten corpses on the ground very depressed, and the props used in their performance were still thrown on the ground, and no one paid attention to them.

However, Lian Shan still believes in his soldiers, besides, the Soviet Union is just an old man, and if he kills, he will be killed, what's the big deal?

As the fighting became more and more intense, the gendarmes were more relaxed in this regard, not to mention that a baby with a fake pillow was enough to explain everything, although this was a very important evidence, but it did not represent everything, but this still did not hinder the judgment of the gendarme.

At least they won't censor the soldiers of the sixth squad for this, although spitting is not a personal attack, and it is unlikely to threaten the lives of the soldiers, but throwing stones is real, and it is not without any reason for the sixth squad to shoot them.

But these things are not something that Lian Shan should worry about, he just needs to lead the troops to fight, who will care about so many things? As the battlefield gradually extended to the interior of the Soviet Union, the fighting became longer and longer, and the gendarmes basically turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

But where there is no serious effect, and there are no survivors, the gendarmes will generally let them go if they find the slightest evidence in favor of the soldiers, and at most they will warn them, and they will not affect the soldiers at all.

"I ask the Air Force to conduct a careful reconnaissance of the generation around us, and I suspect that the main forces of the Soviet army are in this area."

Lian Shan quickly gave instructions.

The company-level troops called for air support, which sounded somewhat appalling, but there was no way, who made them the head of the line? There was already a reconnaissance plane in the air that could be called upon at any time by the line troops, the purpose of which was to prevent the Soviet troops from escaping or allowing the pursuers to take the wrong path.

Therefore, after Lian Shan called for air force support, within a few minutes, a reconnaissance plane flew over them and conducted low-altitude reconnaissance at an altitude of less than 500 meters.

"Squad leader, there are blood stains here."

Soon, a soldier spotted a pool of blood on the side of the road and hurriedly shouted.

Lin Yi quickly ran to the side of the road, only to see that the blood stains had not completely dried up, obviously he had just stayed here not long ago, it seemed that his previous guess was very likely to be correct, the purpose of the more than ten people was to let him shoot, so as to report to the fleeing Soviet army.

But it's too late to regret it, Lin Yi and the others also killed those Soviets, and all the consequences can only be borne by themselves.

"Go to both sides and see if there's any sign of someone walking by."

Immediately after, Lin Yi quickly commanded.

Now that the direction of the Soviets had been determined, and there was only a small road in front of him, all he needed to do was to reconnoiter on both sides, and if there was no trace of anyone walking, then it was likely that a small group of Soviet troops had just passed here.

Most likely, it was a wounded unit, the purpose of which was to attract the attention of the Fifth Army and thus buy time for the departure of the main forces.

Lin Yi continued to stroll forward, his eyes couldn't help but probe the surrounding environment, now he was getting closer and closer to the Soviet army, it was difficult to be sure whether the Soviet army had set up an ambush here, it was a matter of life safety, Lin Yi had to be careful and careful.

However, the result disappointed Lin Yi, there was no ambush set by the Soviet army here, except for the occasional dripping blood on the side of the road, there was no other discovery.

But there was one thing that made Lin Yi suspicious, that is, these blood droplets were all dripping against the side of the road, and there was no trace of blood in the middle of the road.

If it is a small force, they will certainly not carry the wounded on both sides of the road, and only when the large army is marching, in order to prevent the wounded from affecting the march of the troops, will they be allowed to walk on both sides of the road, and the good road in the middle is mainly a passage for the main army to pass quickly.

Now Lin Yi can only wait for the results of other soldiers' reconnaissance to judge the truth of the matter, he hopes that the main force of the Soviet army that has just passed by here, so that the troops can speed up, catch up with the Soviet army as soon as possible to start a decisive battle, and completely wipe out all the forces of the Soviet Far East Military District.

While waiting, Lin Yi took out the combat map on his body, it stands to reason that a squad leader should not have a combat map, and the combat map must at least be equipped in the company-level troops, and it is basically a waste if it goes any further.

However, the map in Lin Yi's hand is the map of the vanguard reconnaissance unit, that is to say, several squads share a map, which squad was in the previous reconnaissance, and took over this map from the previous reconnaissance squad, which is mainly used to determine the direction and search and reconnoiter in the direction that the Soviet army may flee.

Lin Yi skillfully set his position, but then Lin Yi felt a little incredible, and when he repositioned and found that the previous position was not wrong, Lin Yi was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what the Soviet army was trying to do?

At this time, Lin Yi and the others had been led to a position about a hundred kilometers west of Ust-Kut, and the road was winding to the north, but the destination was a river, because there were too many large and small rivers on the territory of the Soviet Union.

In addition, the person who drew the map was originally drawn according to the national map of the Soviet Union and the results of the air force reconnaissance, so he didn't know the names of many rivers, besides, this is the Soviet Union, not China, and anyone who asks which river is called knows what it is called.

In order to prevent the troops from getting confused about the names of the rivers, the mappers specially compiled the large and small rivers in the Soviet Union with Arabic numerals, that is, each river had a specific number, no matter what the Soviets called them, Army Group North called these rivers by these numerical codes anyway.

They are going to war, not to history or geography, as long as they know which number represents where, what do the others do? Besides, they don't have time to care about that much.

The map in front of me is marked with a river codenamed Sixty-Nine, which zigzags through several regions, but to the north, the only city in front of it is Ust-Ilimsk.

Could it be that the Soviet troops have gone here? Lin Yi guessed suspiciously, and then looked at the map in his hand, and felt more and more that there was such a possible surname. As long as they get here, the Soviet army can rely on the complexity of the river to delay the speed of the Fifth Army, so as to create more time for the Soviet army to cross the river.

Even if their fear of spotting the Soviet army, it would obviously take a long time to bypass the river, and perhaps by the time they chased them, the Soviets would have already crossed the river, and when the time came, the original bridge would be blown up, and the Fifth Army would have to stalemate on the other side of the river.

Originally, this was an abnormal pursuit battle, and a lot of equipment failed to keep up in time, especially the boat and bridge troops, because they were all heavy equipment, and now this environment is not suitable for large-scale maneuvers, and it is also very laborious to maneuver. It can be said that as long as the Soviets cross the river, then they will have at least a week or so to escape.

In a week's time, even if the Fifth Army was all in trucks, it might not be able to catch up with them, and even if they did, it was estimated that they would have already prepared their positions.

"Squad leader, I found traces of a large number of people walking here, and it is far away from the main road, not like a small road specially opened up by locals."

Immediately afterward, a soldier gasped and ran back to report.

Lin Yi hurriedly followed the soldier to check, but after this look, Lin Yi was even more convinced of his guess, the Soviet army really ran away from here, and it was very smart, so they scattered the wrong, in order to prevent the air force reconnaissance plane from discovering their figures, the road they took deliberately selected those places with trees.

The Far East of the Soviet Union is already desolate, there is no one to take care of it here, you can plant as much land as you want, and nevertheless, more than seventy or eighty percent of the land is desolate, full of trees, and no one has cultivated it.

And because of the mountains and dense trees, it is normal for large troops to be difficult to be spotted by reconnaissance planes in the air when they walk here, and the Soviet army deliberately reduced the size of a certain unit, which is more conducive to concealment.

"Inform the company commander that the Soviets may forget about the Ust-Ilimsk area and flee, and ask him to request the Air Force to conduct a detailed search and reconnaissance between here and Ust-Ilimsk, with the main targets under the trees, and if conditions permit, the Air Force can use machine guns to test whether there are Soviet troops below."

After Lin Yi finished reading it, he immediately commanded.

After chasing for several days, he finally found traces of large-scale Soviet movements, how could Lin Yi let go of this opportunity? Now he only needs to listen to the reconnaissance situation on the side of the Air Force, and before that, advance as much as possible in the direction of Ust-Ilimsk with his troops.

I hope that we can catch up with them before the Soviets cross the river, if they can come and strike a fierce blow when the Soviets cross the river, it is estimated that the Soviets will suffer heavy casualties, and they can also inflict a fatal blow on them.

Even if it can't wipe out the Soviets, it can still leave them demoralized and unable to continue their attacks for a longer period of time. You have to replenish enough troops before you can continue fighting, and of course, replenishing your forces doesn't mean you can make up for them if you want to.

The Soviet Union also had to take into account the German troops on the Western Front, and once the forces on the Western Front were withdrawn, would the Germans let go of this opportunity? Obviously, it is impossible, the Germans are not fools, they have just suffered a defeat, and they are grinding their fists at this time, how can they be worthy of the Germans if they seize an opportunity and not win a big victory?
