Chapter 422: Ambush in the Town

readx; Hu Xiaoquan: They entered the country from a place about 40 kilometers east of Xunke County, and after crossing the Heilongjiang River in the early morning of the same day, they only walked about 10 kilometers forward before stopping. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, their destination was behind Reichchinsk, and Progres next to him naturally had other troops to encircle and suppress. Reichkhinsk is not the location of the headquarters of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District, and of course, it is unlikely that anyone will have a headquarters on the border, because this is purely for the purpose of fighting.

As the first town of Army Group North to attack the Soviet Union, Reichkhinsk was particularly important, and capturing it was equivalent to capturing Progusle, which could directly threaten Zavitinsk.

Li Chengxuan's First Army was deployed in the center, and further west was the Fifth Army, which was also the most western, and they were responsible for attacking from the Daxinganling area and directly attacking the Sea of Okhotsk.

They could not stop until they saw the sea, and when they stopped, the area east of the line between the Great Khingan Mountains and the Sea of Okhotsk was completely occupied by Army Group North.

This area is about half the size of the Northeast, but if you occupy them, it is very convenient, because there are no people here at all, and it is impossible to see a single figure even tens of kilometers.

This is mainly related to the Soviet Union's policy of first Europe and then Asia, and first west and then east; as long as people with a little financial resources basically move to the west to live, and those who are not good will also settle in those county towns, anyway, the place is very large, and the people are very small, and no one wants to live alone in a place with a radius of several hundred kilometers.

"His grandmother's, how can this Soviet ** run so much?"

Hu Xiaoquan gasped heavily, looked at the small city that was no longer populated, and couldn't help but scold.

"Damn, hurry up and inform the troops behind and tell them not to run so fast."

The company commander also cursed secretly, and ran dozens of kilometers tiredly, but after running, he found that the Soviets had run out, and there was no one with even a small town, and it was estimated that all of them ran with the Soviet army.

At this time, apart from the buildings and the footprints on the ground, it can be seen that this was once a living area, and there is no life at all.

No, according to the surname of the Soviets, this small city should not be abandoned? And I heard that the Soviets were very terrifying, and their soldiers did not dare to retreat when they were fighting, let alone flee without firing a shot.

This can also be clearly seen in the battle of Nomenkan in the past few years, and the current Soviet Red Army is much stronger than before, and they have no reason to escape.

Hu Xiaoquan couldn't help but secretly probe the empty city in front of him, and suddenly, a detail made him discover the secret.

The Soviets did not flee at all, and this was a conspiracy at all, and only in this way can it be explained why they retreated.

"There are Soviet troops in the house."

Looking at his companions who wanted to enter the town, Hu Xiaoquan didn't have time to negotiate with the chief, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

Hu Xiaoquan's words made everyone stunned, and they couldn't help but cheer up, and regardless of whether Hu Xiaoquan's words were true or false, like this kind of fighting in a foreign country and being unfamiliar with life, even if there is no reminder from Hu Xiaoquan, they should always be vigilant, otherwise they don't know when it will be their turn to die.

"Hu Xiaoquan, what's going on?"

Company commander Feng Sixi took the telescope and probed for a long time, but found nothing, and couldn't help but be secretly angry, if Hu Xiaoquan was allowed to do this, he would be shocked, and the army would let him bomb the battalion sooner or later.

"Company commander, there are really Soviet troops in the house. Just now I saw that the window was pushed open, and I saw something that looked like the barrel of a gun exposed, I am not sure what it was, and then I looked at this town, and the traces of the large army passing here were still obvious, and from the messy footprints, I could judge that the enemy should have retreated in an orderly manner.

It was nothing, but the window of the room was pushed open and quickly closed again, as if to observe our movements, and after noticing that we had not entered the city, they hid. ”

Hu Xiaoquan pointed to the room where he found something abnormal just now and analyzed.

Although Hu Xiaoquan's analysis is very reasonable and his thinking is very clear, even Hu Xiaoquan didn't find that he was completely different from before at this time, and even Feng Sixi, the company commander who was familiar with him, was not sure that he was the previous Hu Xiaoquan.

In fact, Hu Xiaoquan is very afraid of death, so he will keep an eye on everything, and after discovering the abnormality, his mind is also very calm, and he can quickly and carefully analyze the truth.

"Are you sure?"

Feng Sixi looked at Hu Xiaoquan again and asked.

"I'm sure there's someone in the house watching us."

Hu Xiaoquan was also a little unsure whether this was a conspiracy or not, so when Feng Sixi asked him for the second time, Hu Xiaoquan had to change his statement, only saying that he was sure that someone in the house was observing them.

And it doesn't matter whether the people in the house are observing them at all, the important thing is whether there are people in the house, as long as there are people, then Hu Xiaoquan can't say too much.

Seeing that Hu Xiaoquan was so sure, Feng Sixi didn't dare to be careless, after all, this is the number one hundred and ten, if he really falls into an ambush, it will be a ** egg, but it will take about ten minutes for the follow-up troops to rush over, and they must find out the situation here before the follow-up troops arrive.

At this moment, Feng Sixi is not leaving, nor is he stopping, in case the speed of the march of the large army is delayed, it is not a trivial matter to blame it above.

"Sniper, test it."

In desperation, Feng Sixi could only call the sniper and ask him to test whether there was really someone in the house, if there was no one, he could only order the troops to advance, and he couldn't delay too much time here.

"The third window on the right, that window is abnormal."

Hu Xiaoquan was dressed in white and lay next to the sniper, stretching out his hand to point to the abnormal window just now.

I have to mention that this white coat works really well in the Soviet Union, white flowers, integrated with the environment here, if you don't observe carefully, you can't find them at all, let alone aerial reconnaissance, as long as the people below don't move, it is even more difficult to find them.

However, the Soviet army is still wearing the clothes of the past, it is the Soviet Union, which is short of materials, how can there be extra cloth to make snow suits?

'Smack! ’

A bullet accurately hit the window that Hu Xiaoquan was pointing at, and through the scope, the sniper clearly saw that the sawdust on the window was flying, and the bullet should not have entered the house.

After the blow, there was no reaction in the room, and the other rooms were the same, and there was no abnormality at all, as if no one was there.

Feng Sixi frowned, Hu Xiaoquan was sure that there were people in the house, but after the sniper's probing, it was so quiet, it stands to reason that this should mean normal. But it was because it was too quiet, so Feng Sixi felt a little strange.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Hu Xiaoquan is blind, maybe there is no one in the house at all, but Feng Sixi did not dare to take the risk, he decided to try it again, so as not to let the troops enter the enemy's encirclement.

"Mortar, get two shells for that room."

Feng Sixi ordered again.

Immediately, the mortar gunner quickly took out the barrel and base, assembled them together in three or two clicks, quickly adjusted the angle, visually measured the distance, and it was only half a minute after everything was done.

'Whoosh! ’

'Boom! ’

The shell was crooked, because of the distance, and the climate, the mortar operator did not directly hit the target, after a round of test firing, the mortar operator adjusted the angle slightly according to the situation just now, and then picked up a shell again and stuffed it directly into the barrel.

'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ’

This time, the mortar shell landed exactly inside the house, but unexpectedly, the shell smashed directly through the wooden roof and then entered the second floor of the house, and what was even more surprising was that three explosions were heard in the house.

What does this mean? Feng Sixi didn't have to think much to know what this meant, and even those recruits who had just joined the army for a short time knew what the situation was.

"Everyone is ready for battle, mortars are ready, ready to move forward at any time, radio calls the battalion commander and asks them to speed up."

Feng Sixi calmly issued the combat mission, and at the same time stepped up to call for reinforcements.

The explosion just now had caused the Soviet army to leak their whereabouts, Feng Sixi was not stupid enough to think that the three explosions were all from mortars, only the first one was from mortars, and the remaining two were most likely grenades that were detonated.

"Good boy, you have made a merit before the battle has started, and when the battle is over, I will personally go to the regiment seat to ask for merit for you."

Feng Sixi patted Hu Xiaoquan's shoulder and praised him with satisfaction.

At this time, Hu Xiaoquan had no sense of excitement about meritorious service at all, it didn't matter whether he made meritorious service or not, what he was most afraid of was death, but he was such a tangled person, although he was afraid of death, but he dared to die, his fear of death was mainly manifested in caution before and during the battle, and he was not afraid of death because he had already prepared for being captured.

Listening to the company commander say that he wanted to ask for credit for himself, Hu Xiaoquan just smiled and nodded, and his main energy was still on the rifle in his hand, constantly controlling the rifle in his hand to prevent it from freezing in this cold winter, and to ensure that the battle to be held would be carried out normally.

Hu Xiaoquan followed the squad leader and swaggered directly to the town, because the distance was far, the bow waist did not have any effect, but would waste a lot of their physical strength, and now they only have one company of troops here, so squad and platoon operations have become the main mode of operation.

Fortunately, the mortars had a clear division of labor before, each of the four mortars was responsible for fire support in a certain area, and the machine guns were also set up not far away, as long as the enemy dared to show their heads, they would not hesitate to send a row of bullets.

'Smack! Syllable! ’

When the troops approached a certain distance, sporadic gunshots finally came from the houses in the town, and the Soviet army obviously did not dare to let the soldiers of the Chinese Empire approach, but no matter how they fought this battle, they did not have an advantage, so they could only choose to resist.

In fact, there are not many Soviet soldiers hiding in the town, there are more than 1,000 people, but they only have more than 200 rifles, and they are old single-shot rifles, many soldiers can only stare at the soldier with the gun, see when he will die, and then promise to pick up the gun as soon as possible.

It's just that this is an asymmetrical war after all, and the soldiers who are slowly approaching don't have to take it too seriously at all, and even after discovering the enemy, they can shoot without aiming at all.

Often at the moment when the enemy shows his head, as long as he dares to stay in place for more than five seconds, the sniper's bullet will find him, of course, it is not excluded that those who point their backs, as soon as they show their heads, the sniper's eyes are just there, and they can go to see the Buddha in less than three seconds.
