"Where did Xu Soul go?"

Eighty kilometers south of Orenburg, in the railway town of Soli-Iletsk, the headquarters of the Central Asian Front, before his feet had even stepped into the door of the war room, the commander of the Front, General Xiao Liezhi, whose trademark voice seemed to have shaken the window panes of the war room.

“…… Here, the village of Novosergeyevka, is less than thirty kilometers from Sorochinsk. ”

The chief of staff, Admiral Hu Jingwei, who arrived first, immediately pointed out the location on the map.

Xiao Lieri crossed the threshold at this time, and the corner of his eye glanced at the place where Hu was frightened, and asked with his arms crossed, "What did Xu Soul say?" Can you take Sorochinsk before dark? ”

Hu spread his hands in horror and said: "The reconnaissance unit was repulsed by the enemy chariot unit on the outskirts of the village, and the main marching column was also harassed by the enemy's long-range artillery fire. The first set planned to throw two armored cavalry brigades into a roundabout attack, and asked the aviation unit to launch fire suppression first-it seems that Xu Soul is not absolutely sure. ”

Xiao Lieri's eyebrows suddenly rose with a murderous aura: "Call Fang Yongyang and order him to concentrate all the things that can fly, leak that and dry the village, and erase it from the earth for me!" Send another telegram to Xu Soul: Don't hesitate, leave the small strongholds on the periphery to the follow-up infantry to solve, and the chariot troops will advance in a roundabout way, seize Sorochinsk as soon as possible, and block the retreat of the Russian army in one fell swoop. ”

"In accordance with the policy confirmed by the commander before, an order has been issued to the Second Air Group to fully support the Second Armored Army, although Fang Yongyang has not yet received a call back, but presumably he will not hesitate."

Hu was frightened and hesitated, and carefully reminded: "Commander, the road to Sorochinsk passes through the village of Novosergeyevka, and the trucks transporting infantry and supplies cannot follow the chariot troops in the field to leap forward. ”

Xiao Lieri didn't seem to care: "The truck will stay behind and wait, and the combat vehicle will be concentrated and the half-track armored vehicle will be detoured first." Sixty miles of land is only a meal for these iron feet. ”

Hu was terrified and stretched out his hand and pushed the huge square-rimmed glasses on his nose: "Then it is necessary to remind Xu Soul to try his best to load infantry and supplies on the chariot and half-track armored vehicle, so as not to wait for the truck team to ......come for a long time."

Xiao Lieri crossed his hands to his waist and sneered: "After Fang Yongyang's hundreds of planes are bombed, how many people are left?" The cavalry went in and swept it up. The truck fleet will be able to follow up without wasting time adjusting loads. ”

After saying that, Xiao Lieri tilted his head and turned his gaze to the middle of the map: "What about Lu Kaiping?"

Hu was frightened and stopped, and continued to point to the map: "The Second Armored Army, with the coordination of the Fifth Army, forcibly crossed the Ural River from the Krasnoholm area yesterday and broke through the defense of the 32nd Army of the Russian Army. The vanguard reconnaissance unit is searching for the town of Perevolotsky, southeast of Sorochinsk, and has not yet encountered strong resistance from the Russian army. ”

Xiao Lieri nodded, clasping his arms to his chest. The eyes turned to the right: "What about the feint attack of the Second Army, have the enemy troops on the Orenburg side been pinned?" ”

Hu was also terrified: "Commander Zheng sent a telegram an hour ago to reconfirm that the frontal enemy of the Second Army included the 24th Army of the Russian Army on the Orenburg side and the 31st Army on the Ostrovnoye side upstream. The group army was pinning down the enemy's 24th Army across the river with a single army, and the main force was successively crossing the Ural River from the enemy's 31st Army defense area, and advancing to Sakmara, the rear of the Orenburg flank, depending on the situation. ”

Xiao Lieri frowned: "Isn't the loss suffered in Sakmara, the second outfit set last time, enough?" told Zheng Hong that his task was to contain and act. It's not interspersed with encirclement and hard fighting, even if he takes Sakmaraa tomorrow. I'm not going to give him even a single truckload of supplies. ”

Hu gritted his teeth in horror and said bluntly: "Commander, judging from the current situation, I suspect that the other party does not intend to stick to Orenburg. ”

Xiao Lieri sighed and turned his head to stare at him: "Do you think they will run?" ”

Hu was frightened and had a serious expression: "Yes, and it will not only run along the railway to Sorochinsk-Samara in the northwest." It is likely that a considerable part of the force will go in a big circle: first along the mountain roads on the western side of the Ural Mountains, north to Ufa, and then west along the railway to Samara. ”

Xiao Lieri glanced at the map, shook his head and smiled: "If the enemy really wants to run, it will be the first to run on the Ural Mountain." Otherwise, the mountain guards haven't run down yet, and the river guards will run out first, and the people on the mountain won't be waiting to be dumplings? Besides, even if the main forces of the enemy really flee in circles from Ufa, as you said, then the defense in the direction of Sorochinsk will inevitably be empty, which is conducive to the concentration of mobile forces of our army to make a surprise attack, lightning attack on Samara, Ufa, and cut off the retreat of the enemy's two fronts in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young staff officer pushed the door open with a nervous expression.

"Report, Theater Command telegram!"

"Read."

Xiao Lieri only thought that he had never seen the world and didn't want the other party to read it halfway, so Xiao Lieri couldn't help but snatch it up, opened his eyes, and looked up and down three times, and then handed it to Hu Horror with a sluggish expression.

"Run, those bastards on the hill really ran away......"

……

In Akdouka, 1,800 kilometers away, in the headquarters of the Eastern European Theater of the Chinese Army, Wang Zhizheng was pacing with his back to his back, stopping from time to time to look westward, eager to immediately fly with his wings and go to the front line to witness the retreat of the Russian army on the Ural Mountains and the attack of our army on the Ural River.

According to the telegram signed by General Zhao Feixue, commander of the Northern Front, on the table, the Russian Ural Front not only abandoned and set fire to the city of Yekaterinburg in the northern part of the front without a fight, but also did not hesitate to abandon all the dangerous positions that once made our army sigh in the middle and south of the front, and while destroying the transportation facilities including tunnels and bridges on the entire front, they gathered at various transportation hubs on the west side of the Ural Mountains, and it is expected to retreat to the Perm-Samara line in great strides relying on railway transportation.

The fish jumped off the chopping board, and Zhao Feixue had to find a way to catch the fish and nail it back to the board.

Xiao Lieri had to hurry up and smash the fish with a hammer before it jumped back into the water.

In military language, if the main forces of the enemy's Ural Front retreat to the front line of the Volga River before our army captures Samara, then not only will the plan of encircling and annihilating the two fronts of the Russian army in one fell swoop inevitably come to naught, but the enemy's Volga Front, which has been stabilized in the rear, will also become difficult to destroy.

"No, I have to go to Zhao Feixue and Xiao Lieri to supervise the battle, and I want to kick their butts and rush forward, I can't let them hesitate at all."

Wang Zhi immediately made up his mind, turned to Xiang Lan, who was still studying the map, and said, "Old Xiang, make a call to the directly subordinate aviation team and ask them to prepare two special planes." ”

Xiang Lan looked up and wondered, "Where are you going?" ”

Wang Zhihao said angrily: "Fly to the Northern Army Headquarters first, and then fly to the Central Runner-up Army Headquarters, and this side will be handed over to you to take care of first." ”

Xiang Lan was taken aback, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Commander, by all means, the radio performance on the plane is limited, and it is very likely that you will not receive important telegrams on the way, what should you do if you delay a major event at that time?" ”

Wang Zhi knocked on the table and said: "The situation is already very clear, if the Northern Army does not continue to contain the enemy, and the Central Asian Army does not step up to take Samara, the war of annihilation will become a repulsion war, and the entire 'Anxi' operation will be equivalent to half of the defeat." I can't do much here, and it might be useful to go to the front......"

Xiang Lan saw that he had a serious attitude, and suddenly aggravated his tone: "Commander, a company and a battalion have their positions, a regiment and a division have their own defense lines, and the group army and the front army also have their own fronts. Since the commander is the commander-in-chief of the entire theater of operations, this is your position, and it is not only a shame for the soldiers to abandon the position without authorization, but if the base camp is investigated, even the commander will not be able to escape the blame. ”

Wang Zhi was unmoved, but went down the line: "I will explain this to the base camp when I go back, you can rest assured, if there is responsibility, this commander will bear it on his shoulders, and he will never implicate you in the slightest." ”

Xiang Lan was not ambiguous, and followed him into an army: "In this case, please also ask the commander to explain the situation to the base camp first, and after obtaining permission, I will fully cooperate with the commander's actions, otherwise, the king will not be able to obey his orders." ”

Since Xiang Lan moved out of his identity as a prince, Wang Zhi couldn't help but give him some face, paced back and forth a few steps, and sighed lightly: "In this case, according to what Xiang Chief of Staff said, let's apply to the base camp first." ”
