"Quick, hurry up, dig me deeper, dig a little better for me in the machine gun bunker over there, if it blows up and falls, some of you will suffer."

After Hou Xiaoshan threw off his arms and dug for a while, he threw down the marching shovel and began to inspect the trench excavation work.

The soldiers dug the trenches for less than an hour, and Rao was not quietly preparing for battle.

In the past 20 minutes or so, two small groups of Soviet troops have arrived, but the section of the road where the A-45 one-horned rhinoceros is raging has been blocked, and some time has been delayed to clear the obstacles. The fleeing Soviet troops even simply reconnoitred the front, only to find out during the third reconnaissance that there was a large force of [***] in front of the fortified attack.

Unable to continue clearing the obstacles, the 1,000-strong Soviet army threw away its trucks and launched an attack on the Wehrmacht's blocking line, which was digging positions.

As a result, after being discovered by reconnaissance troops, more than a thousand Soviet troops were captured by a tank battalion and an infantry battalion before they could run to the front line. The Wehrmacht soldiers escorted the more than 1,000 Soviet prisoners, drove dozens of cars they discarded to some difficult breaches, and set fire to the barricades one by one.

Although the Wehrmacht has paid great attention to the training of excavation fortifications since the southwest period, and the multi-functional military shovel with each person also has a very powerful function, which is a sharp weapon for excavation and combat in the hands of the soldiers, but the time is too short after all, in order to speed up, first the armored 22nd Division drew out a large number of officers and soldiers to assist in digging trenches, and then the captured Soviet troops were also escorted to dig, and the routs who were pointed at guns and completely lost their determination to resist were actually very cooperative, and then after being captured by two groups of seven or eight hundred Soviet troops, the whole speed was much faster.

In less than an hour, the position had basically taken shape, at least the soldiers did not have to stand or lie on the ground to fight.

Suddenly, several reconnaissance planes were in the direction of Qingcheng, and Hou Xiaoshan and Zhang Jing couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw it, and sure enough, the reconnaissance planes swooped over the position at a low altitude and flew in the direction of Beliao Zuowei Town. Reconnaissance planes always bring the latest news of the rout and the defense of the town of Berezovi in the rear.

"It was reported that we had just received a radio from a reconnaissance plane, and there was a Soviet army of 10,000 people in the direction of 5 kilometers from us, with some heavy weapons, about 50 tanks, and countless trucks.

The Allied forces on the defensive line of the town of Berezovi did not move for the time being. ”

The communications staff officer quickly ran to Hou Xiaoshan, who was inspecting the position and minefield with Zhang Jing, the commander of the armored division, and reported.

"Five kilometers, without those roadblocks, it will only take about ten minutes, plus the roadblocks and the disturbance of air fighters, it should be here in thirty minutes at most."

Hou Xiaoshan lay down in front of the map, made a simple calculation, and came up with an approximate time.

"Now the number of rout troops is too large, it is too long, and they are fleeing from all directions, and the aerial bombardment troops will also be missed, and I don't know if we can call in air support in time." Zhang Jing said with some concern.

"Forget about this wave, the task of the air brothers is also heavy, and we should be able to eat the 10,000 routs."

Hou Xiaoshan said with confidence. After all, in addition to the 166th Division on the position, there is also the 22nd Tank Division, and this 10,000-strong Soviet army will not have much of a problem. After all, the Soviet army, which is only one division, even a Soviet division with a complete structure and complete combat effectiveness cannot defeat the 166th or 22nd divisions, let alone these routs.

The decision has been made, Hou Xiaoshan did not stay long, and went to check the minefield excavation under the mountain.

A large minefield of broadsword and anti-tank mines separates the entrance from a less open entrance.

Standing on the position of the ridge, Hou Xiaoshan looked at the area in front of the entire position about three kilometers wide, and from the ridge where the position was located all the way to the town of Berezovi, there were no such wide conditions.

The U.S. military chose to build a defensive line in the town of Berezovi, not because they looked down on this nameless plateau, but the geographical conditions here were not as good as those in the town of Berezovi.

The Soviet rout had not yet arrived, but the Americans had come.

"Report, the US military reconnaissance detachment was found five hundred meters behind our army, and our army's reconnaissance company has already captured them."

Soon, a small surprise came.

"Bring it on."

Hou Xiaoshan looked at his watch, there were still about ten minutes before the arrival of the Soviet army, but he didn't expect this American reconnaissance team to come first.

Because the National Defense Force's special forces have been building up for a long time, and the idea of elite troops is also very popular, although ordinary field divisions do not set up special forces, they train their own elite troops in the name of reconnaissance units. Although these scouts are not as good as the Tigers, the second special forces of the whole army, in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, espionage and assassination, and sentinels, they are still at the leading level in the world.

Soon, six American soldiers with guns pointed at them were escorted up.

The U.S. soldiers wore a kind of mountain camouflage, their faces were painted black, and even there were branches on their heads, and the military uniforms on their bodies were somewhat different from the standard military uniforms of the US military.

"The Americans are also engaged in special forces? Perhaps it was a strengthened reconnaissance unit. Hou Xiaoshan said secretly.

Several American GIs, though captured, still looked like cowhides, three of the six had their heads held high, two of them hung their heads, and only the last short man had his hands held high.

Without saying a word, Hou Xiaoshan stepped forward and kicked at the officer-like person at the front.

“wee！”

Hou Xiaoshan dragged a sentence of 2580,000 English, and kicked the officer's knee, which happened to be a vulnerable place, and under the force, he actually stumbled and fell. The effect of the promotion of Yanhuang martial arts in the army and throughout the country has appeared, from the Chinese who have been ordinarily trained to the officers and men of the national defense who have undergone introductory training in military martial arts, their physical fitness has generally become stronger, and their fighting ability has also become stronger, which is much stronger than the fighting in the army that was popularized in the southwest in the early days.

Seeing this, several scouts also stepped forward one after another, and put down these American troops who were originally coaxed by cowhide two or three times.

"Someone who can speak English asks about it."

It turned out that the Allied command organ in the town of Berezovi had received information that a large number of Wehrmacht troops had arrived in this area, and their air power had been suppressed to the death, and even a reconnaissance plane could not be sent; although the US military also had considerable radar, it was always not as powerful as the Wehrmacht's radar early warning planes.

"It seems that there is a danger from the rear, and once it drags on for too long, the US military will order the Soviet army to support even if it refuses to go out of the defensive line."

After exchanging opinions, the two division commanders decided to strengthen the defense behind them, at least the scouts should be sent farther away, so as to ensure that the troops coming out from the direction of the town of Belyozovy could be detected as soon as possible.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Soon, scouts at the front reported that Soviet troops of about 10,000 men had arrived near the barricade and were concentrating their men on clearing the road.

As a result, the Soviet army soon found that it was not feasible to clear the road, because there were not only burning cars, destroyed tanks and armored vehicles on the road, but also large craters blown out by shells and explosives, and the passage of the convoy became very difficult.

The Soviet troops, who were in a hurry to flee for their lives, plunged headlong into the ambush circle without warning and reporting.

"Fire!!"

Hou Xiaoshan personally picked up a Ripper 45-year-old multi-purpose machine gun and opened fire on the Soviet troops more than 300 meters away, and at this time, the Soviet troops also happened to find the blocking force in ambush on the ridge in front.

"Didi ......"

As soon as the charge sounded, the hidden tank division also sent a Tiger 4 tank regiment to charge the Soviet troops.

The 10,000-strong Soviet army is a lot to talk about, but in fact it is not too much, a larger school can stand down, and the chaotic rout formation of the marching army is a little scattered, but it is even more chaotic in the face of tank charges, and it soon becomes a mess.

"Shoot or kill!!"

A simple Russian sentence full of Chinese style made the Soviet army lose its last resistance, and the tank regiment was followed by an infantry regiment of the 166th Division, and the infantry and Tan coordinated to frighten these Soviet troops from more than a dozen different units.

Many of the Soviets even lost their weapons, although these were the most advanced Soviet troops, with more weapons and ammunition, and could even escape in tanks and car armored vehicles, but they were still much worse than the Wehrmacht, which had more firepower.

There was no need to clean up the battlefield at all, and the prisoners were taken and sent to the valley on the other side to guard them. The only two exits were mined, guarded by an infantry company with Ripper heavy machine guns and a tank company.

Originally, Hou Xiaoshan and the others thought that the captives were a big trouble, and they couldn't kill them all, but they couldn't send them back, and it would cost them troops to guard the place, so they could only drive them into this valley surrounded by mountains on both sides, and use tank guns, mines, and machine guns to guard them.

According to the Wehrmacht's leniency policy, if the prisoners of war were willing to deal with the Soviet casualties themselves, the Wehrmacht would not stop them, but they would never waste precious time in dealing with them. Of course, if you are lucky enough to survive until you enter a prisoner of war camp, you can be treated simply, at the cost of extending the prisoner life to pay off the debt, and the medicine will have to be charged.

"There may be a bad battle next."

Less than fifteen minutes after the end of the battle, looking at the officers and soldiers who were having breakfast, Zhang Jing frowned and said, the news just came that this wave of 10,000 Soviet troops was followed by a 50,000-strong Soviet army, which was a large Soviet army. You must know that the Soviet troops in this whole direction, including even the newly escaped troops from other places, were only about 400,000, and there were 50,000 people in this group, and according to the establishment of the Soviet army, there were two or three small group armies that escaped.

In contrast, the rout of the 10,000-strong Soviet army from multiple units just now was just an appetizer, with the rout in front and the Allied receiving troops in the back, and the situation was getting worse step by step for the blocking force of only two divisions.

Of course, there is only good news.

The Communications Staff reported:

"Division Commander Hou, Division Commander Zhang, and Commander-in-Chief Huo want us to stick here, the Air Force will fully support us, and the other troops responsible for the encirclement will also quickly narrow the encirclement, and then eat these hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in one go."
