Chapter 462: Zhukov's helplessness
readx; 'Buzzing ......'
The sound of the transport plane engine resounded in the whole air, Mongolia is sparsely populated, and the current desertification is not as serious as that of later generations, so most of the current Mongolia is a steppe, a real steppe, except for some forests, there are few buildings, even if it is the capital of Mongolia, it is only in recent years that buildings have slowly appeared.

Therefore, when the transport plane galloped over Mongolia, there were not many Mongols who could really see the transport plane, and it was only when the formation flew to Erhan and Erdenet that it attracted the attention of the troops on the ground, but they had already received orders from Wuhan.
So for these seven or eight hundred planes flying in the air, they can only look up, and at the same time they are secretly annoyed, why is it not themselves who are sitting on them?
Damn, they are also wars, and they walked tirelessly for a month or two to get to Mongolia, and people are good, they will be on the battlefield in a few hours by plane, if they also have a plane, how much time can they save on the road?
How much can they do in these hours? The [***] soldiers on the ground could only draw circles and curse the paratroopers of the Chinese Empire, hoping that they would be stuck by the plane when they parachuted, or that the parachute bag was not opened, or that their feet were broken when they landed.
It's just a pity that their curse can only be their own money, because the probability of this kind of thing happening is very small, not to mention anything else, every soldier in the airborne division has experienced at least hundreds of parachute jumping exercises, although I dare not say that every one of them is a parachute expert, but it is not wrong to say that it is a parachute diving master, so the probability of error is very small.
The plane quickly flew to the parachute landing area, because seven or eight hundred planes had attracted the attention of the ground, so no one noticed that a company of troops was parachuting not far away, and after the parachute jump, the transport planes also returned directly and did not make too many stops.
'Didi ......'
The red lights in the cabin kept flashing, the soldiers had long been accustomed to the words on the plane, and they had already memorized all kinds of indicator lights.
When the red light flashed, the soldiers stood up very consciously, and before the commander gave the order, everyone had basically hung the hooks on the umbrella bags on the ropeway above the transport plane.
"Stand up! Hooking! ”
An ensign stood in front of the hatch and shouted, even though the soldiers were ready, it was the procedure, and he had to shout, to remind the soldiers who had forgotten or had not hung it up to check the hooks.
At this time, the soldiers were also very skilled in checking each other's umbrella bags to see if there was something hanging on the umbrella bag to ensure that the umbrella bag could be opened normally later.
"Equipment Inspection Status Report!"
The second lieutenant continued to order.
"Check the 30th is complete! …… Check 1st complete! ”
Then, from front to back, one soldier after another quickly reported on the inspection. At this moment, the red light that had been flashing suddenly turned into a green light, and the second lieutenant also stood at the hatch, and the soldiers consciously began to move closer to the door.
"Pull closer, stand in front of the door!"
The second lieutenant commanded, still mechanically.
"Brothers, we'll see you on the ground!"
The second lieutenant turned to continue shouting, but at the same time as he shouted, the second lieutenant also opened the cabin door, and a stream of cold air directly drilled into the cabin along the open hatch, blowing the soldiers a little unable to open their eyes.
In order to ensure that the soldiers can control their position most conveniently, Su Dao equipped the paratroopers with windproof glasses as early as a year, which is similar to the glasses worn when swimming, so that while parachuting, they can ensure that their eyes are not stimulated by wind resistance and can observe the situation on the ground at any time.
After talking to everyone, the second lieutenant and a crew member worked together to throw down their five ammunition boxes first, in fact, in this case, it doesn't matter who threw down the ammunition box, after the troops parachuted, as long as they find the ammunition box, they will be put away, and if other troops don't find it, they will naturally ask, so it is also convenient for everyone to collect ammunition.
After throwing the ammunition box, the second lieutenant patted the first soldier on the shoulder, and the soldier nodded knowingly, and jumped out of the cabin in a standard move, followed by the second, the third, and the thirtieth, and the second lieutenant was the last to jump out of the cabin with the help of the crew.
Suddenly white umbrella flowers appeared in the sky, as beautiful as snowflakes in the sky, if it were not for war, then this would be a beautiful landscape painting.
Although it was a war, the parachute mission was as simple as it was during training, without the obstruction of enemy infantry and the blocking of ground fire, just like during training, the troops did not encounter any difficulties when parachuting.
Soon, one by one, the soldiers landed smoothly on the ground, they quickly retracted the parachute, and randomly stuffed it back into the parachute bag, because there was no need to parachute in a short time, so no one deliberately folded the parachute at this time.
Besides, they didn't have any extra pins to fold now, and the soldiers quickly prepared everything, and then quickly searched for their team, and at the same time ran towards the place where they had just seen the ammunition be, either carrying a box alone, or carrying it by two people, and everyone was running towards the predetermined assembly position.
After more than ten minutes, 99.9 percent of the soldiers had already returned to their own units, and in order to ensure that the troops could quickly retract after the parachute landing and avoid spending too much time on the assembly, the Chinese Empire had spent a lot of effort on the training of transport planes.
The formation of the planes has been formed from the moment they fly together, and if there is no change on the way, under normal circumstances, this kind of formation is not allowed to change without permission, and even if it changes, it must be quickly adjusted back, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the troops to assemble.
And when parachuting, basically a platoon, or a battalion of troops are in an area, even if it is assembled, at most it is enough to walk a kilometer or two, and this is a prairie, the field of vision is very broad, everyone knows where their troops are, so there is no need to worry about getting lost or something, even if you get lost, everyone is fascinated together.
"Regiment commander, the brigade commander ordered our regiment to set up parachute signs in the parachute landing area to guide the brothers behind."
A communications soldier put down his walkie-talkie and turned to a lieutenant colonel.
Their regiment is a regiment, and this time it is a brigade and a regiment of troops that are parachuted, that is to say, the airborne troops are five regiments, one regiment is responsible for arranging the parachute field, and the 234th regiment and a regiment of other brigades are responsible for confirming the safety of the parachute area, and expanding the parachute area to hold it until all the troops have parachuted down.
Because it is not known from which point the Soviet Red Army broke through, or whether they will break through at all, the 89th Division may face a fierce battle or a thrilling trip, and everything is still uncertain.
And at this time, they can't divide their forces, because once they divide their forces, they will not be the opponent of the Soviet Red Army, and they will be broken by the other side one by one, so they will rest here and stand by until the air force discovers that the Soviet army is beginning to break through to Mongolia, and then they will go out en masse to intercept.
And this position is in the middle, whether to the east or west, the interception of the Soviet Red Army is the closest place, because there is a concave and convex angle here, the Soviet Red Army can quickly escape from the encirclement through here, and then go west along the Soviet border.
The most important thing is that as long as they enter the territory of the Soviet Union from here, then they will directly confront the Soviet army, and it does not matter whether they escape or not, because they have no way to escape.
Of course, if the Soviet Red Army had withdrawn and fled directly from the area around Abazha New without passing through Mongolia, or had entered Mongolia before being intercepted by the Fifth Army, or had returned to the west directly through Kazakhstan, then their mission would have been completely defeated, and they would have faced a frenzied attack by the Germans.
Because the German army will never let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, how could the German army give up if there was such a good opportunity to destroy the enemy's living forces?
Zhukov also saw that the situation was not good, but he did not know what the problem was, because the appearance of the Soviets and the Chinese was too different, and now the Chinese are getting stronger and stronger, and the Chinese people are becoming more and more difficult to buy, and the people they bought have all defected a long time ago, and the Soviet spy agencies in the northeast have also been knocked out a lot.
Even if there are still a small number of Huaxia people who are spying on them, the information they can find out is really limited, and Zhukov does not even have any illusions about those Huaxia people, because they will only take money, not do anything.
It's been so long that they can't even figure out the location of the airfield of Army Group North, let alone the latest developments in Army Group North. Therefore, Zhukov's command could only change by means of changes on the battlefield, and the oldest tactics were used, with static braking.
Although the method is good, it doesn't work here, one is not moving, the other is moving and people can't parry, the north just gives you a look, and the south immediately pops up again, which is difficult to prevent.
Zhukov's plan was completely disrupted, and Stalin did not agree with Zhukov's plan to retreat into advance, and did not care about nearly a million casualties, and must let Zhukov give Army Group North a blow to the head. But what is the result now? It was not Zhukov who gave Army Group North a blow to the head, but Army Group North who gave Zhukov a blow to the head.
In desperation, Zhukov can only choose the last fight, if he is lucky, he may be able to get some results, if not, Zhukov has already thought of a way out, no matter how bad he is, he must bring back more than half of these troops, otherwise the Soviet Union will be greatly damaged, and it will no longer be able to stop the invasion of the Chinese Empire in the short term.
