Perhaps because they knew that their pitiful air power would not be of much use even if it was thrown on the battlefield against the Chinese army, the Cossack army simply withdrew all its air force to the western continent to be used against the air forces of the Yaman Empire and the Habsburg Kingdom.

There was no opponent in the air, and the idle fighter pilots of the Chinese army did not want to do nothing, and they played the role of attack planes in a cameo manner, attacking the ranks of the Cossack army by means of dive strafing, which made the commanders of the Cossack army at all levels extremely depressed.

Although the Cossack army had been in battle formations on the Western Continent for a long time, they were still unfamiliar with ground operations under such powerful air suppression, and the troops who had no experience in dodging air raids suffered a large number of casualties, and all positions were bombed beyond recognition.

Under the cover of artillery fire and chariots, the Chinese army began to advance rapidly again, occupying city after city, and aiming directly at the Cossack army besieging Katerinburg. In order to save time, Lin Yangchun ordered all cities with fierce resistance to be bombed by planes, and after several such bombings, the Cossack army finally began to waver.

Kolchak was doing almost the same thing as Lin Yangchun's order, the only difference was that the Chinese army used bombers to blow up the city, while they used artillery. Under the dense fire cover of the Cossack corps, the city of Rochlin had almost been wiped off the map.

At this time, Dong Guicheng and the three of them were in a pile of ruins, observing around, because they stayed in the food factory for several days, as a result, they missed the retreat of the troops, and now they were isolated by the front line of the Cossack army, and they were already a lone army deep behind the enemy.

"Squad leader, I don't have many bullets left, only three bullet chains, and only five grenades." Tall and strong muttered, now in a very bad mood.

Gao Quan stuffed a Type 03 semi-automatic rifle into his arms and said: "Hide the machine gun in place and use a semi-automatic rifle, this is more bullet-saving, anyway, it is common with machine gun bullets, so that your bullets will be rich." ”

Gao Dazhuang knew that what Gao Quan said was reasonable, he reluctantly wiped the machine gun in his hand and sighed: "Old man, let's be separated for a while, and I will pick you up when the battle is over." ”

The three of them lost weight, and in addition to the weapons, ammunition, and food reserves, the general's blanket and other things that were not of much use for the time being were all abandoned. Gao Quan looked at the map and said: "We are still three hundred meters away from the enemy's defense line, we should be careful here, let's find a place to hide first, and wait until it gets dark before leaving." "Only Gao Quan here is a special soldier and has rich experience in activities behind enemy lines, so the other two naturally have no objections.

The cat is in the ruins of a building, and from time to time Gao Quan peeks out from the broken window that has been blown away from the glass. Gao Dazhuang leaned over and said, "Brother Quan, what are you looking at?" "The fighting life in the past few days has made Gao Dazhuang and Gao Quan, two people who have never known each other, form a deep combat friendship, so Gao Dazhuang also affectionately called Brother Quan.

Gao Quan pointed to a relatively complete house more than 100 meters away in front and said: "You see, there are many posts there, and there are often some low-ranking officers and heralds coming in and out, I suspect that it is the headquarters of a Cossack army. ”

Dong Guicheng also leaned over and looked at it for a while and said, "It's really similar, why are you going to him at night?" ”

Gao Quan nodded: "As long as we create some chaos in the other party's headquarters, it will be easier to pass through their defense area." ”

Dong Guicheng nodded: "That's right, let's go and see it at night." ”

Taking advantage of the darkness, the three of them quickly approached the suspicious house through the dark shadow. "How about we go in and see?" Takaizumi suggested.

"Go in and see? You're crazy, you're so well guarded, and there's only three of us. The tall man said in a low voice.

Gao Quan looked at the wall and said, "There is no problem with this, I'll go in and take a look, you guys will answer me outside, if there is gunfire inside, you can kill the guards at the door with grenades and take me out." ”

Dong Guicheng looked at the three-meter-high wall and said, "Okay, we'll pick you up, but how do you get in." ”

Gao Quan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

He handed over the submachine gun to Gao Dazhuang, tucked the pistol into the leggings, jumped a few times and felt very satisfied, he was just about to go to the wall, but was pulled by Dong Guicheng, he also took out his pistol, sent it to Gao Quan and said: "Give you another pistol, two guns have stronger firepower, take care." ”

Gao Quan inserted the pistol into another legging, nodded at Dong Guicheng, and then he ran up, slammed upward, hooked the wall with both hands, kicked his feet on the smooth wall a few times, and the person rolled in like a harrier.

Flipping into the wall, Gao Quan's feet lightly touched the ground, his body rolled and disappeared into the darkness, he quietly poked his head out and looked around, there was no sentry in the courtyard.

Looking carefully at the surrounding environment, Gao Quan found that this family should be relatively rich and powerful, the courtyard is very spacious, and many flower beds have been built, but it seems that the owner has already fled, because no one has taken care of them for many days, these flower beds have been full of weeds, and some flower beds have been hit by cannonballs and completely blown up to the ground.

The house doesn't seem to have been damaged much, although the flower beds are damaged a bit, and there are many craters in the yard, but they are all caused by small-caliber artillery, and the house has not been shelled, which is why they live here. There was no one in the courtyard, only the big house in the middle was brightly lit, and Gao Quan, who was short, crept through the shadow of the flower bed.

Approaching the house, Gao Quan found that there were low-ranking officers coming in and out all the time, and he was afraid that he would be discovered by the other party, so he couldn't get too close, so he could only turn the corner of the house, come to the other side, lick the broken window paper with his tongue, and secretly look inside.

By the reflection of the lights, Gao Quan saw that the room was full of military maps, many officers were writing and drawing on their desks, and those low-ranking officers who came in and out passed the documents in their hands, which seemed to be some news from the front line.

"Obediently, it looks like I've hit a big fish." Gao Quan licked his lips and was secretly happy. Directly touched the door, taking advantage of no one's attention, he suddenly jumped out with two guns in his hand, opened his bow left and right, and solved the guards with two shots, then inserted the pistol back into his waist, pulled out two grenades, pulled the fuse, and threw it through the door.

There were two loud bangs, "boom" and "boom", and half of the not very sturdy houses were blown up, and the officers inside were killed and wounded heavily. Gao Quan picked up his two guns and jumped into the house again, firing his bow left and right to shoot the remaining enemies. Hearing the movement in the courtyard, more than a dozen guards outside planned to enter the courtyard, but they were wiped out by Dong Guicheng and the two of them, who had already prepared, with a grenade and bullets.

Seeing that Gao Quan had not yet come out, the two quickly came to the door to see that the nearby Cossack troops had not yet arrived, and they kicked open the gate and rushed in. Gao Quan killed several officers, and found a gray-faced officer getting up from the ground behind the table, and he was about to shoot when he suddenly noticed the officer's shiny lieutenant general's uniform and immediately changed his attention.

He put his pistol on the other man's head and said in Aberdeen: "Don't move, watch my gun go off." The officer didn't dare to move at once, Gao Quan was not idle, and shot the two Cossack officers who could still move one by one with another pistol, and saw that there was no more life, Gao Quan escorted the officer out, and he just came to the courtyard and met Dong Guicheng and Gao Dazhuang who rushed in.

"How's it going? It's going well. Dong Guicheng asked eagerly.

Gao Quan smiled: "No problem, not only did I eliminate a group of officers, but I also caught a big fish." Let's go, I think the nearby garrison will be here soon. The two nodded, and immediately retreated with Gao Quan.

The tall man walked up to the captive, lifted the captive up like a chicken, and slammed a big hand at the back of the captive's head, and the captive fainted without any suspense. Tall and strong carried the prisoner on his shoulder, and the three of them immediately retreated by night, and by the time the Cossack reinforcements arrived, all that was left was a mess and corpses all that remained.

Gao Quan and the other three took the captive to hide in the cellar of a courtyard ruins, the captive had been woken up by Gao Dazhuang with cold water, and for insurance, Dong Guicheng tied him up with a rope and stuffed something in his mouth.

Gao Dazhuang sighed and said: "I thought that I could create chaos and pass through the enemy line, but why did the Cossacks strengthen their vigilance, and we almost missed." ”

Gao Quan looked at the captive and said, "This shows that we have caught a real big fish, but we don't know how big this big fish is." ”

Dong Guicheng said: "Let's find a way to go back to the army now, what do you think?" ”

Gao Quan gritted his teeth and said, "You wait for me, I'll come back when I go." With that, he jumped out of the cellar and ran out.

An hour later, Gao Quan returned, still armed with a few pieces of clothing and a few Arthur 88 rifles. "What are you doing here?" Dong Gui became enlightened.

Gao Quan smiled: "Let's pretend to be guards and follow the commander to inspect the defense." Gao Quan said to the captive.

"Good idea, let's get started right away." Dong Guicheng hurriedly began to change into the other party's military uniform, took the Arthur 88 rifle, and saw Dong Guicheng's actions, Gao Dazhuang also understood, he took out a suit of clothes and changed it.

Before dawn, the three of them, dressed in Cossack uniforms and carrying Arthur 88 rifles, set off with their prisoners. Gao Quan and the captive walked in the front, secretly holding a pistol against the captive's waist, and the four of them slowly walked forward. The captive was apparently an aristocratic officer with a very low sense of resistance, and after some intimidation from Takaizumi, he was unusually cooperative.

In this way, the four of them passed through several lines of defense without any danger, and when they encountered patrols or sentries, they were all dealt with by prisoners, and soon approached the last line of defense.

"Who?" The Cossack sentry asked.
