Chapter 289: Intelligence Detected by the Soviet Army (I)

A few Soviet soldiers who had gone to the perimeter to guard the surroundings soon returned, and they came to the side of the team leader, Tolyavsky, to report on the inspection. The news reported by several people was consistent, and no special circumstances were found around, and no traces of anyone being there were any.

Toliavsky told them to take a break, and then took out a map and looked at it. There are many red areas drawn on the map, and these red areas are what they are for. These red areas were the places where the Soviet side judged that the Chinese army was most likely to concentrate heavy troops. And whether or not the Chinese army is staying here is the responsibility of their reconnaissance teams.

On the map, Toliavsky marked where they were at this time, looked at the nearest red area in front of him, and his brows gradually twisted together. Between the two places, there is a road, and in the next stretch of the road, there are no trees to hide their figures.

If you want to go to the red zone to investigate, the danger level is too high. The slightest carelessness is in danger of the total annihilation of the army.

At this moment, Toliavsky was in trouble. He really couldn't think of a good way to make his way through the clearing, and through a road. The grasp of this in his heart is too small.

If they look the same as the Chinese, then it's better, you can disguise it. But now not only the appearance, but even the body shape is very different from the Chinese. If the Chinese army had patrolled the area, Tolyavsky would not have been able to sneak into the red zone on the map.

Ten minutes passed, and Tolyavsky also looked at the map for ten minutes. In the end, he put the map away, but of course he still didn't think of a good idea. But he knew very well that the team had to go, and it couldn't stop here because there was no way. He made up his mind and waited until he got to the place and saw the situation before making a decision.

The team then set off again, slowly walking out of the woods.

Not long after they left, a man slowly slid down from the tree in the area where they had rested. Looking at the direction in which Toliavsky and the others disappeared, he showed a sneer, and got up to follow.

The closer Toliavsky and his party got closer to the outskirts of the woods, the more careful they became, and everyone bent over and walked lightly, for fear of making too much noise. When they reached the outside of the woods, they saw an endless field of snow, with white snowflakes draped on the ground. A road on the snow is clearly visible, it should have been cleaned after the snow yesterday, and there are not many traces of snowflakes on the road.

In the distance, a convoy was moving down the road, getting closer and closer, and in the convoy, it was possible to see an armored vehicle leading the way. Toliavsky and the others all lay down in the woods, and when they saw the golden dragon flag fluttering on the convoy, they all clung to the rifles in their hands.

As the convoy got closer and closer, they all saw what was on the car. Not the troop carriers they think, but the transport convoys of China. The trucks were loaded with military supplies, and there were many supplies in them.

As the convoy approached the closest stretch of the road to the woods, they could hear the convoy passing by. And the supplies on the truck are also clearly visible, because the back of the truck is not covered. Whole pork and bundles of cabbage are clearly visible, and there are many large boxes marked with the word canned. The whole convoy was mostly loaded with food, and only a little bit of weapons and ammunition.

And the convoy looks like there is no end, and it goes on and on. Trucks kept passing in front of them, and in the convoy, they could still see Chinese armored vehicles from time to time, which was obviously the force escorting the convoy.

The march of the convoy lasted for half an hour before it disappeared from their eyes.

"There are so many things to eat, seeing the boxes of canned food, and the uncountable cabbage, pork, rice, and flour, their lives are so good!" Bervshka couldn't help but mutter, seeing the last truck of the convoy disappear around the corner not far away. Thinking of the black bread I gnawed before, I couldn't help but feel jealous in my heart.

Bervshka was not alone in this thought, and when they saw so much food passing by in front of them, and that it was the enemy's supplies, they all remembered in their minds what it would taste like when cooked, and the thought of it entering the enemy's stomach made everyone feel jealous.

Many people are secretly swallowing their saliva, and they don't know how long it has been since they have eaten a delicious meal. 600,000 troops, if they consume food like the Chinese army, it will push the already busy Far Eastern Railway to the limit. For 600,000 people to eat and drink, it would be good to have a sufficient amount of black bread to eat every day, after all, the Far Eastern Railway has to transport ammunition and clothing, and there is not much space to transport ammunition.

Moreover, even if there was enough transportation capacity, Stalin could not make them eat rice and white flour every day, and also have meat for their meals. The ability to eat enough brown bread, coupled with the occasional supply of meat, was already the best treatment for Soviet soldiers.

"If I can enjoy such treatment every day, even if I am asked to blow up the Hanjing Palace alone, I will dare."

"Don't say every day, I'm very satisfied if I eat it once a few days."

"Now I feel hard to swallow when I see black bread, and when I come out on a mission, I don't even have fast jerky."

"Alas! There is no way to compare with others. ”

Tolyavsky thought differently from the soldiers, and focused on the number of trucks. According to his estimates, this cart of food would supply an infantry company for at least three days. And the whole convoy is endless, with at least 3,000 trucks delivering food, otherwise it would never have taken half an hour to walk.

According to his calculations, the trucks were all traveling at speeds of more than 60 kilometers per hour, and one truck occupied about 10 meters of the road. Half an hour is 30 kilometers, and on average there are 100 trucks per kilometer, so if you do the math, you can know that there are almost 3,000 trucks.

One truckload of food can feed more than 100 people for three days, and 3,000 trucks can feed more than 300,000 people for three days.

Tolyavsky has basically determined that the Chinese army's station is definitely not far away, and it is very likely that it is the target on the map. At this time, he also heard the muttering of his comrades-in-arms around him, and he did not stop these voices, and he was quite emotional in his heart. They are all soldiers, and they are all fighting for the country, but the difference in treatment is too great. Compare goods and throw them away, and people are more popular than people.

He lay on the ground, took out the map again, and looked around the corner, the red area that had been drawn. Not far from him, at the corner of the road, just under the hillside in the distance.

Looking at the map and thinking for a moment, Toliavsky was about to gather his comrades and announce their respective missions. A convoy came again on the road in the distance, and unlike the first time, this time the convoy was full of soldiers. And it was not armored vehicles that opened the way, but tanks.

Seeing the second convoy approaching in the distance, Toliavsky and the others held their breath and pressed their bodies lower, for fear of attracting the attention of the Chinese army's marching team. It's just that both eyes are on the march on the road.

The convoy was led by a tank regiment of twenty-four tanks, followed by forty-eight armored vehicles, followed by personnel carriers. And in the team of personnel carriers, you can still see the heavy artillery that is being carried by the door.

When the tank was moving, the ground trembled a little, and the snow in the woods and treetops was also shaken off a lot, and it fell directly on Toliavsky and others, and they didn't care about it at this time. They didn't even dare to move their fingers, for fear of being discovered.

This was the first time they had seen the Chinese tank forces face to face, and these tanks were only Chinese Leopard heavy tanks, that is, heavy tanks in their eyes. Although they also saw the Chinese Leopard tanks purchased by the Soviet Union, at this time, in their eyes, the Chinese Leopards purchased by the Soviet Union looked a lot weaker, at least one thing can be certain, that is, the movement, although the Chinese Leopards purchased by the Soviet Union are the same as the tanks in front of them, but they are also marching, and the movement is much smaller.

And the Chinese armored vehicles, they saw it for the first time, because the USSR did not buy Chinese armored vehicles. The shape of the tank of the infantry fighting vehicle, as well as the 30mm gun on the vehicle and the flat turret, all made them feel fresh. When they compared the Soviet armored vehicles with the Chinese armored vehicles, they all found that the original armored vehicles can also be very beautiful. At the same time, they also noticed that there was a small closed door at the back of the armored car, which looked as if it was to enter and exit the armored car. None of them figured out what it was.

Tanks and armored vehicles quickly passed by, disappearing around the corner, like the previous convoy transporting supplies. Then there were all the troop carriers, and Tolyavsky counted the Chinese soldiers standing in at least two squads on one truck. These Chinese soldiers stood firmly on the somewhat bumpy truck, as if they couldn't feel the bumps of the car, and each soldier's body couldn't see much shaking.

Every soldier is uniformly dressed, all gray and white camouflage uniforms, all helmets, and there is also a cotton cloth on the helmet that can cover the mouth, as long as the button is buttoned, the mouth can be blocked.

The lower body of the Chinese soldiers, Tolyavsky and the others, could not see it, but seeing the equipment on the upper body of the Chinese army was enough to make them red-eyed. At this time, they didn't even have a steel helmet, some were just a cotton hat, which was of no use on the battlefield except for being better against the cold. The shrapnel came, and the head blossomed.

Moreover, the Chinese soldiers are wearing military uniforms that look very energetic, and they look very warm, the trucks are moving, and the wind is definitely not light. On the other hand, looking at those Chinese soldiers, it seems that the cold wind around them can't have much impact on them. I felt the heavy military uniform on my body, and it was quite awkward when I usually acted. Looking at the Chinese military uniform, it is both warm and not so heavy, and it is also much more convenient when moving.
