Colonel Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department of the Independent Division, stopped in a little surprise when he heard the division commander's shout, and still asked respectfully: "Division commander, do you have any additional orders?" ”

Tang Qiuli hesitated for a moment and said: "Director Chen, order the special operations detachment to send seven teams to infiltrate the Ural Mountains, near the seven roads that the Soviet army must pass, to instruct the bomber force to bomb targets, in addition, to Chu Tian's order, add such content, the bomber unit is completely under the command of Chu Tian, the leader of the special operations detachment!" ”

He pondered, "It is particularly emphasized that the sabotage operations of the special operations detachment should first be based on the principle of self-preservation, and the results of the battle should not be forced; if the troops are insufficient, they can selectively abandon certain attack targets, and the division commander does not want to see too many casualties in the special operations detachment, and that's all!" Tang Qiuli's voice was low.

If it weren't for the commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, General Vasilevsky, who had the move of opening a new passage in the Ural Mountains, there would have been no need to send bomber units to carry out night bombing, and this heavy snow alone would have been able to block the Soviet army for three to five days, and no one dared to guarantee whether the special operations team that had penetrated into the stomach of the Soviet army and completed its mission would be able to retreat with its whole body after completing its mission.

Originally, the strength of the special operations detachment was insufficient, more than 2,000 people went deep into the territory of the Soviet Union, and it was necessary to attack more than 100 Soviet field airfields at the same time.

At night, the snow is flying all over the sky, and the wind is howling and rolling up snowflakes all over the sky. The land west of the Ural Mountains was shrouded in a white chaos.

All the roads, rivers, mountains, and trees were covered with a thick layer of snow, and in such weather, there was not a single moving object to be seen in the wind and the snowy wilderness.

More than 30 kilometers southwest of Yekaterinburg is the remnant of the Ural Mountains. The peaks are not high, but they are continuous, and on the peaks, tall and dense larches and bushes grow. A snow-covered road winds its way through the mountains into the distance.

Behind a cliff. A messy pile of branches under the thick white snow. Suddenly parted from the middle, a telescope came out from between the branches, and after carefully observing the situation outside, the branches returned to their original state, and soon, dense snowflakes. This qiē is restored to its original state.

A few hundred meters away, a very cleverly camouflaged opening, even in clear weather. If you get into the cave, you will find that it is very spacious inside, and a small group of the special operations detachment directly under Chu Tian is hidden in the cave.

"Detachment leader, you can't see anything outside, the visibility is less than twenty meters, in such weather, it is impossible for those old Maozi patrols to come out!" A lieutenant in a snow combat uniform said to Chu Tian while shaking off the snowflakes on his body.

Chu Tian's eyebrows unconsciously moved, and he didn't pay attention to the lieutenant, but asked Qi Hanzhi, the chief of staff of the detachment beside him: "Hejaz, have you found anything unusual in the three lurking posts?" ”

Qi Hanzhi shook his head and replied: "Five minutes ago, I contacted them, in the evening, there was a convoy of the Soviet army, passing by the road under the mountain, after the snow was heavier, I never saw a car again, the detachment leader, the Soviet army is not stupid, such weather, driving at night on the snow road in the mountains, it is almost like looking for death by yourself, just right, take this opportunity, let's rest here all night." ”

Chu Tian did not speak, he seemed a little uneasy, since the special operations detachment entered the west of the Ural Mountains and the territory of the Soviet Union, the entire detachment was divided into more than 100 groups, scattered within a radius of nearly 1,000 kilometers, and the farthest group had penetrated deep into the vicinity of Kirov in the Soviet Union, more than 400 kilometers away from its current position, and was eyeing a large airfield of the Soviet army.

Fortunately, so far, none of the groups has exposed the target, nor has it alarmed the Soviet army, but Chutian is very dissatisfied with himself, and all the members of the special operations detachment have been dispatched, and for more than a month, they have not provided a valuable information to the division headquarters, and the only thing that can be used is the location of the various field airfields of the Soviet army.

Three days ago, Chutian took his team and approached the vicinity of Yekaterinburg, intending to live in a valuable place to find out the specific deployment of the Soviet army, but when he came here, he could no longer advance, I don't know what the reason was, the Soviet army suddenly began to tightly block the area around Yekaterinburg, and the patrols were so dense that there were almost no intervals, and the Soviet convoy was not interrupted from morning to night, and it did not stop until nightfall.

Chutian had a premonition that the Soviet army might have a large-scale operation, which made him even more anxious, if he could get the accurate time for the Soviet army to start attacking in advance, the division commander would have prepared in advance, which would be much more beneficial to the troops, but this damn heavy snow ruined his plan and sneaked into Yekaterinburg to scratch his tongue, which was obviously impossible.

However, I really have to thank this heavy snowfall, just three hours ago, a Soviet patrol team had already touched a place less than a kilometer away from the entrance of the cave, and came back, because of the heavy wind and snow, this Soviet patrol turned around and went down the mountain, otherwise, Chu Tian and more than 20 special combat personnel might have been blocked by the Soviet army in this cave.

There was no problem at all in killing this Soviet patrol of more than 30 people, and there was no need to fire a single shot, but the disappearance of a patrol out of thin air would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Soviet army, and what would follow would be a large-scale search of the mountains.

The military situation was urgent, and the division commander urgently needed to know the specific attack time of the Soviet army, but now, he couldn't do anything, Chutian looked very anxious, and walked around the cave, like a hungry wolf in a cage, "Hejaz, is there any movement on the side of the Soviet army's airport?" He suddenly stopped and asked.

Qi Hanzhi replied: "Xiao Liu, their group, staring at it, the situation is normal, on a snowy day, the planes of the Soviet army are honestly lying at the airport!" You can rest assured, keep even the Soviet pilots, come out to pee a few times, we all know! ”

Chu Tian was noncommittal, Qi Hanzhi was about to persuade him to rest for a while, but at this moment, the newspaper operator hurriedly ran over, "Report to the detachment leader, the division refers to the emergency telegram!" ”

Chu Tian snatched the telegram and quickly scanned it, with a solemn look on his face, without any stretch.

Qi Hanzhi asked, "Detachment leader, what are the orders of the division commander?" ”

Chu Tian said in a low tone: "The division commander ordered us to attack the Soviet field airfield starting on the night of the ninth day, and also, we need to send seven three-person teams to drill into the Soviet army's warning circle to bomb the passage of the Ural Mountains for the bomber troops, and indicate the target, Hejaz, the closest group to the Ural Mountains, which are those ones?" ”

Qi Hanzhi quickly replied: "It is the eleventh to seventeenth teams, among them, the eleventh and fifteenth groups, lurking near the original two roads in the Ural Mountains!" ”

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said: "Hejaz, immediately give orders to the 11th and 15th teams, give up the task of attacking the Soviet army's field airfield, and instead instruct the bomber troops to bomb targets, the two groups, be sure to enter the position before eight o'clock on the night of the 9th!" ”

Qi Hanzhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Detachment leader, it is no problem to instruct the bombing targets for the two original roads, but the five new roads opened by the Soviet army, the farthest, are separated by more than 80 kilometers, and in such weather, I am afraid that the two groups will not be able to reach the target on time. ”

Chu Tian's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Hejaz, you are also a veteran member, just because of a heavy snowfall, let the division headquarters change the original bombing plan, you can tell the leaders of the two groups, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they must follow the orders of the detachment and arrive at the target on time, if they can't do this, they are not worthy of being soldiers of the special operations detachment!" ”

Qi Hanzhi's face was a little red, and after recording Chu Tian's order, he handed it to the newspaper operator, looking at Chu Tian who was frowning, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Chu Tian thought for a while, and said to Qi Hejaz: "Hejaz, the time of the raid on the Soviet field airfield is set at ten o'clock in the night of the ninth day, and all groups will act in unison. ”

"Send a telegram to Meng Qingpeng, commander of the Outer Mongolia patrol area, that the bomber unit will start bombing the target at 11 o'clock on the night of the 9th, that is, our surprise attack on the Soviet airfield, and one hour after the start of the operation, let Commander Meng arrange the action time of the aviation unit according to this schedule, and send the ground-air contact password!"

Qi Hanzhi walked into the depths of the cave and gave orders to each group, Chu Tian walked to the entrance of the cave alone, looking at the snowflakes outside, the white night sky, and his heart was not relaxed.

Each group, with only 25 members, had to attack the heavily guarded Soviet airfield, which was a battle with a huge disparity in strength, even if the task was completed, in the hinterland of the Soviet army, after bombing the airfield, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, whether the various groups could withdraw safely was a difficult question to guarantee, and if it was not done well, more than 20 people were trapped in the encirclement of the Soviet army.

Chu Tian secretly let out a sigh of relief, and the cold snowflakes fell on his face, making his hot mind clear, how to complete the task at the lowest cost was a problem he had to consider.
