Chapter 269: Hunting Season
After determining the place of entry of the Russian army, Dong Ku formulated a targeted combat plan one after another.
Fuyuan's army was transported by him from the secret ammunition depot in Dahe Town to the encirclement and suppression troops. There were quite a few returnees here, whose skiing skills did not allow them to face the Russian troops directly, and their location was close to the later Five Star Lake, which can be seen on Japanese maps.
When the smoke cannon is fireworks, the lake level is low, the snow is thicker than other squares, and the average depth is more than four meters, which is suitable for burying people.
The reason why Liu Dafu's army stopped fighting and was always in the sight of the other party was to let the fifteen or six thousand Soviet and Russian soldiers move closer together in the battle, so as to facilitate artillery bombardment and snow burial.
Sure enough, the Russian army entered their cemetery without knowing it, and in the shelling, none of them survived, all of them were buried deep in the snow, and the corpses were dug up after a while.
The brigade commander in charge told everyone to rest and prepare for another large army that might be diverted and rushed here.
But it was impossible for that army to turn back at this time, in front of them, on the sides, from time to time there were small groups of enemies, six or seven hundred meters away, a burst of gunfire, one hundred and ten soldiers were put down at a time, most of them were wounded, and a few were killed.
But when they attacked the location of the gunshot, the other party left few traces on the hard snow shell, but the person was long gone.
When Major General Inovich, who was in charge of the command, received a continuous attack on the troops, the damage was increasing, and the wounded were increasing, he did not realize that how could there be wounded in the sniper rifle? Or rather, how can it hurt more thighs?
He released three battalions, two guarding the flanks. A front opened the way, trying to use this method to contain the harassment and speed up the march.
In the snow, a platoon or so of fighters lay there, with skis next to them. They were all armed with breathing apparatus and sniper rifles. Thirty or so men had no other long weapons.
In the distance, a group of Russian soldiers came into their sight, hunched over. From time to time, Russian soldiers held binoculars, looking for targets in the snow, and marched towards the established release.
The platoon commander in the team raised his hand and made a gesture, bowed his head and aimed at the Russian army seven or eight hundred meters away in front, and then a gunshot rang out. A bullet flew by, popped, and burrowed into the retreat of a Russian army, easily drilling through, leaving a steaming transparent hole.
"Over there!!"
At the moment when the Russian soldier fell with a howl, all the soldiers pointed their guns at the location of the attack. Instead of lying down, they ran forward quickly, trying to bite the hateful enemy who had been harassing them for more than half an hour.
At the moment when the Russian army moved. In the sound of thumping gunfire, one by one the running Russian troops fell to the snow. Behind him, a little bit of red was left behind.
The attacking Russian army didn't care about the wounded at this time, and ran forward desperately, trying to bite the enemy, so that other teams could rush to and annihilate him.
The thumping of gunfire rang out as they ran. One by one, the figures fell in the middle of the hundreds, and they were killed and wounded at least hundreds of people, and then, in less than a minute. The gunfire died down.
In the telescope, the Russian army has not found any trace of the enemy from beginning to end. They were running wildly towards the location where the guns rang out, but unfortunately, except for the fact that the distance of the other party's attack was more than five hundred meters, and it had reached a terrifying distance of seven or eight hundred meters, there was no human figure in sight.
"Ran again!!"
A Russian soldier threw his steaming hat on the snow, his face flushed with anger.
"Coward!!"
Another soldier yelled, gun in hand, searching around.
But in addition to the traces of lying on the stomach, there are also half-exposed bullet shells in the snow.
Frustrated and angry, the pursuers reluctantly returned to the wounded after finding the traces of lying on their stomachs and the special bullet casing of the 38 big cover, bandaging them, and letting them return to the main army with the team.
Large troops, less than two kilometers away from them, they had to maneuver at speed, and it was impossible to carry the wounded.
At this time, there were already thousands of wounded in the huge marching procession. They were either supported or limped to follow the group, greatly affecting the speed of the march.
In just over an hour of harassment, the Russian army lost the lives of more than 500 fighters and more than 1,000 wounded, most of them in the thighs, and a few in the stomach.
Such damage annoyed Inovich a lot, but it was good that the company-level escort team sent out could survive half of them at the moment when the opponent's guns rang out, and they didn't even have a chance to pursue.
Although they guessed that the other party was using white clothes as a means of concealment, unfortunately, they could not stop it, and there was no way to defend it.
The other side's guns have been reported by the border, and their rifles are very strange, unlike their Mogan, which only has five rounds, it seems to be more than ten, and they all have scopes, and the distance of shooting is more than five hundred meters.
This was observed during the attack of the enemy by the troops of Raohe after two counter-charges. This is a new type of rifle, a new type of three-eight big cover. Because, the bullets are all made in Japan, 6.5 caliber.
For this reason, Soviet Russia also inquired about the Japanese side, and when the reply was received was that the gun was not made in Japan, some experts pointed out that it might be a rifle made of the principle of air-conductive machinery, and the mirror, naturally, was a telescope to increase the aiming distance.
It's a pity that it's one thing to know the road, it's another thing to defend it, and in more than half an hour, not even half of the strength of a battalion remained, and most of them became wounded.
The most odious thing is that these elusive enemies also attack the squads transporting the wounded, and when a dozen escort soldiers are released, the people disappear, and they are not in love with war at all.
Want to use the strategy of ants to bite the elephant to kill the army?
Inovich was furious, but he believed that a division's strength would not stop him from reaching his destination, even if the enemy was constantly attacking.
Therefore, he ordered to abandon the pursuit of the frontal enemy, to avoid being led into a trap, and the large army turned directly, rushed to the set target, and abandoned the plan to move closer to the large army in Fuyuan.
Actually, he didn't really give up, but left a regiment at the end of the line, quietly moving to the flank, on the snow. Surrounded by the front of the line.
His intention was extremely obvious, that is, to take advantage of the superiority in numbers, to surround small groups of enemies, so that they would lose the ability to maneuver and be surrounded and annihilated.
But how could his actions hide the sight of the advance army?
Under the snow shell, a pair of eyes stared at the Soviet Russian army marching rapidly two or three hundred meters away. Then, the walkie-talkie made a ticking sound, and the message flew into the sky.
After receiving the report from the outpost, the Oroqen fighters who attacked the right flank left the hiding place, made a big circle, and moved directly to a regiment that had left the large army.
More than a dozen raiding forces moved across the Soviet Union. It took only ten minutes on the vast snowfield to go around the flank of this regiment, lined up, lying on the snow, and in the rapid march of the Russian army, pulled the trigger.
The thumping gunshots rang out intensively, the bullets flew in with a roar, and the blood splashed with poof. A figure was knocked out of the snow, flanking the entire marching procession. Hundreds of people fell in an instant.
"There's an ambush!!"
The Russian army shouted, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction where the bullet was flying.
"The left flank of the first battalion, the right flank of the second battalion!"
The leader of the regiment roared, and rushed towards the position where the gun was fired with the remaining soldiers.
The thumping gunfire continued to sound as they ran, and it was not until the Russian army rushed out more than 200 meters that the gunfire suddenly disappeared.
This result has been expected by the Russian army. But this time he did not slow down the pursuit, and accelerated the speed of the charge while the telescope was staring at that side.
"Look! What is that?!? ”
A company commander shouted pointing in one direction.
All the binoculars were looking in the direction of his finger at this moment. They saw the enemy.
The enemy, dressed in snow white, hunched over his waist, flew rapidly across the snow. If it weren't for the slight slow slope ahead, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see these figures.
"Ski ......"
Although the Russian army had long judged from the traces that these attacking squads were skis as a way to maneuver quickly, they were still surprised to see the half-crouching silhouette and the rapid disappearance of the skiing figure.
"Stop the pursuit!!"
"Stop, stop!!"
After seeing the figure that was quickly fleeing, one voice after another sounded, and then, the signal flare rose into the air, and the order was given to stop the pursuit
Catching up on skis on foot? That's a joke. The opponent's marksmanship is so accurate, and the small group will be surrounded separately and will go to the previous point of no return. I tried before, and small groups of troops were either killed or disabled. But now, the large army also has the embarrassment of being difficult to resist.
Fighting, people don't fight head-on, they can't see the enemy, but the enemy can hunt them accurately. Chasing, chasing skis on two legs, that's a joke.
Without hesitation, the commander of the regiment led the team ordered to join the large army and find a way to get out of this depressed situation.
But his wish was good, and the moment he stopped the pursuit, the thumping of gunfire rang out again.
The retreating figures fell to the ground in the midst of gunfire. In the binoculars, the enemy was arrogantly standing six or seven hundred meters away, raising his gun and shooting at this side.
A Russian soldier couldn't stand this oppressive beating, shouted, raised his gun and pulled the trigger on the blurred figure in the distance.
The banging gunfire suddenly intensified, and the figure in the distance quickly lay down at the moment of the gunshot, and began to shoot at the Russian army here.
In the sound of banging gunfire, even if the Russian army was lying on the snow, it could not stop the bullets from asking for their lives. In the splash of blood, the red and white things sprayed all over the ground in the explosion of the puffing skull.
There are thousands of people in a regiment, and they are tortured by hundreds of people like this, and they are not fighting, and they will not be allowed to leave.
After more than ten minutes of shooting, the ground was covered with corpses. This time, there were not many wounded, but most of them were killed.
Hearing the dense gunfire, the two battalions that had rushed to reinforce the large army had not yet approached the battlefield before they were pressed against the snow shell with the sound of their heads exploding.
Under the fierce gunfire, the Russian army crawled forward, returning fire while trying to get closer to the other side. Otherwise, at this distance, they are a beating.
"Retreat!"
A platoon commander saw that the enemy was three or four hundred meters away, and although he was shooting comfortably, he still did not hesitate to give the order to retreat.
With the sound of retreat, the sound of the area that was still shooting frequently just now disappeared abruptly, and then one by one snow-white figures galloped away in the rain of bullets flying wildly.
Seeing the enemy fleeing, all the commanders of the Russian army could not help but be discouraged, frustrated and helpless.
"Rendezvous with the big army!" Inovich ordered.
The Russian troops, who stopped the pursuit, in a depressed mood, bandaged the wounded, put away the relics of the dead, took away the bullets, and the weapons were still there.
Just as they were cleaning up the battlefield and preparing to join the large army, the thumping gunfire rang out again. In one round, hundreds of soldiers fell in pools of blood.
"Get out of here!!"
Inovich gave up on fighting the enemy and ordered to evacuate in a fit of rage.
His thousands of people, if they keep consuming like this, they will not be left in more than two hours.
The retreating Russian army did not stop, at the moment when the army had just moved, the figures in the distance stood one after another, shooting steadily, and the bullets chased the fleeing figures one by one, and then, holding the skis and chasing dozens of meters, and pulling the trigger again.
The wounded were hurriedly dragged up, shouting, and running in the direction of the large army, while the dead were thrown there, allowing the blood to soak the white snow and release the heat.
After chasing a set for five or six minutes, hundreds of people stopped, because the two reinforced battalions joined up with the fleeing Russian army to avoid being surrounded, and they quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and then, a bottle of gasoline poured on the piled corpses, and then a raging fire ignited.
The large army in the distance saw the smoke here, and did not know what was happening in the road, but one thing, all the soldiers had realized that they were now the prey, and the enemy did not intend to fight them, but like a hunt, they wandered on the edge of the prey, killing the old and weak, driving away the strong until the strong were exhausted, and that was when they stretched out their fangs.
In this regard, the Russian army was helpless in addition to helplessness, they reported the situation to 'Berenevsky', and added the theory that breaking through the border may be the enemy's conspiracy.
'Berenevsky' was shocked to receive a report that the troops crossing the Tongjiang River had been harassed by endless attacks, and had lost more than 2,000 people and wounded 2,000 people from 2,000 miles away.
He quickly found the approximate location of this army, and found that the army in Fuyuan was more than an hour away, and it was obviously not easy to rendezvous. But they can't solve the enemy's sniping attack, and the needle will be worn out.
He took a deep breath, and faintly felt that it was a bit inappropriate to cross the border easily, it seemed that these four divisions were in the mouth of a tiger, and I was afraid that there would be big trouble.
After pondering for a while, he directly ordered the two divisions in Luobei to defend well, and sent the sled regiment to help Tongjiang's troops, and then merge and make plans.
But where did he know that he had approached Fujin's army, where would he still have the opportunity to rescue others? (To be continued......)
