At night, 2,000 meters above Angarsk, six huge black shadows in the shape of cigars more than 200 meters long and more than 30 meters in diameter were quietly descending.

Liang Gensheng leaned against the airship hatch and silently stared at the dark earth under his feet.

At this time, the third mission of the Army Aviation Special Service Ninth Wing since the start of the war was to capture the bridge.

The first was the American Bridge in Hawaii, the second was the British expatriate in Malaya, and this time, the Russian Bridge in Hellasia.

What's the difference?

There is no bridge that the Secret Service Wing can't take, is it enough to maintain such self-confidence?

If I want to say that there is a slight difference, maybe it is the six iron bumps hanging under the belly of the last two airships.

A total of two Flying Wolf light tanks and four Jetfox machine gun tanks, for the first time, the Airborne Forces are also equipped with armored combat vehicles!

Liang Gensheng is full of confidence.

The force of the sortie included four special service squadrons, one armored squadron, two 75th infantry artillery squads, and two 80 mortar squads, together with an eight-man wing headquarters including the wing commander, a total of 372 officers and men, aboard six STG-5T "Longyunte" special agent airships, and the target was a railway bridge several kilometers northwest of Angarsk.

The letter to the female pilot has been sent, accompanied by a signed photo of the Royal Yanjing team when they won last year's league championship, she said that she wanted it very much, I don't know if Lu Dao received it, satisfied or not......

What if you are not a person of the same plane? What about love at first sight? It's like choosing to stay here instead of going back to where you grew up...... Need that kind of serious, hard reason?

If you decide, do it, and don't regret it, this is Liang Gensheng's style.

Even if you die in the next second, you must not have a trace of regret in the last second.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the fluorescence table. With 30 minutes left before the scheduled time to descend, he took out a mint candy from the front breast pocket of his tactical vest and stuffed it into his mouth, silently reviewing the history and geography of Siberia collected from the group's computer before setting off as of the beginning of the 21st century.

Siberia in the broad geographical concept of the 21st century refers to the vast territory of Russia, which stretches from the Ural Mountains and Oceans in the west, the Arctic Ocean in the north, and the borders of Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and Korea in the south, all of which belong to Russia, with a maximum width of more than 7,000 kilometers from west to east and a maximum width of 3,500 kilometers from north to south. It covers an area of 12,760,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than 74 percent of Russia's land at the beginning of the 21st century!

This vast area is known as an inexhaustible treasure trove of resources. Russian scientist and writer Lomonosov once said: "The strength of Russia lies in the richness of Siberia." ”

According to a rough estimate of the exploration materials, the land resources of the Siberian region are close to two-thirds of the total resources of the former Soviet Union! Siberia and the Far East account for more than a third of the world's energy reserves! Coal accounts for two-thirds of the total! Natural gas accounts for a third! Oil accounts for a quarter to a third!

The Siberian region has large areas of fertile black and brown soil that are to be developed; The famous Siberian forests cover a vast area of the Siberian region, and its timber stock accounts for more than three-quarters of the former Soviet Union! Numerous lakes and thousands of rivers give Siberia a large amount of hydropower. Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world, has fresh water reserves of 23,600 cubic kilometers, accounting for about 20% of the freshwater reserves of the whole world and more than 80% of the freshwater reserves of the former Soviet Union! Siberia was the largest freshwater fish producing region in the former Soviet Union, accounting for more than a quarter of the total production of the former Soviet Union.

Siberia is rich in metallic and non-metallic minerals, and it has almost all the mineral resources that have been found in the world. Non-ferrous metal ores such as iron, copper, aluminum, tin, 、、、and lead, precious metal ores such as gold and silver, and rare metal ores such as tungsten. Non-metallic minerals such as mica, asbestos, fluorite, graphite, talc, etc., as well as natural chemical raw material mineral resources such as salt, apatite, and phosphorite are all very considerable. Thereinto. Iron, copper, aluminum, tin reserves are particularly abundant, iron ore reserves alone are more than 100 tons! In terms of precious metals, Magadan Oblast on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk is the most important gold producing region in Russia and one of the largest gold producing areas in the world, and the Yakutia region on the lower reaches of the Lena River once produced 15% of the gold of the former Soviet Union.

Siberia, the cornucopia of the Eurasian and Afro-Afro-Afro-Continent islands! The inexhaustible super raw material warehouse of the former Soviet Red Empire! In that space, it belonged to Tsarist Russia and the successor of the Soviet Empire, the Russian Federation.

Tracing back to the fact that before the end of the 16th century, Siberia was not a period of Russia, and Russia had just formed a unified centralized state. Its territory is only one square kilometre and is located in the northeastern corner of Europe, far from Siberia. It was only from the middle of the 16th century that Tsar Ivan IV came to power, and Russia began to expand to the East. It gradually annexed large territories in Siberia and the Far East, extending its territory to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The first obstacle to Russia's eastward expansion was the Siberian Khanate, one of the four khanates (the other three being the Kazan Khanate, the Crimean Khanate, and the Astrakhan Khanate) that had split off from the Golden Horde (Kipchak Khanate), to which Russia had previously surrendered. As with the fate of the Siberian Khanate, they were successively taken between the 16th and 18th centuries

In 1556, the tsar authorized the Siberian Khanate with the Siberian Khanate = family against the Siberian Khanate. In 1574, the Tsar again ordered the Stroganovs to build cities and recruit troops on the eastern side of the Urals, along the Ob River and its tributaries Tula, Tobol and Irtysh rivers, thus extending Russia's power directly into the territory of the Siberian Khanate. The Strogano family, in accordance with the tsar's will, repeatedly invaded the Siberian Khanate. In 1579, the Stronov family sent someone to contact Yermak, the Cossack leader who had been severely punished by the Tsar, and encouraged him to join the army to conquer the Siberian Khanate and serve the Tsar's colonization of the territory. After 1581 preparation. Yermak led 840 to conquer Siberia.

The Russian army advanced along the waterway, passing through the Chusovaya River, crossing the Ural Mountains, crossing the Serebryanka, Tagil, Tula, Tobol rivers, and finally invading the Irtysh River. October

Kashrek, the capital of the Siberian Khanate. Yermak and his gang made great achievements in the Russian war. The tsarist government decided to pardon Yermak and others, commend them for their actions and award large salaries. After that, the remnants of the Siberian Khanate held out their resistance for more than 20 years. In that year, the Russian army defeated the Siberian Khanate's most rear-end resistance. Khan King Kuchum died soon after, and Tsarist Russia conquered the Siberian Khanate. Its aggressive force crossed the Ural Mountains. Yermak's expedition was the beginning of a massive Russian expansion into Siberia, and by the 17th to the 40s, the Russian aggression had crossed the Yenisei River to the Lerna Peninsula and the Sea of Okhotsk.

—

After conquering the Siberian Khanate, Tsarist Russia sent heavy troops, built castles, and held military positions to consolidate the newly occupied areas. And use these strongholds as base camps to further penetrate the Barabin steppe. In order to occupy the middle and lower reaches of the Ob River, Tsarist Russia also moved north. The Emirate of Perem and the Emirate of Yepancha were destroyed one after another, and the cities of Perem and Tulinsk were established here. The northern part of the Ural Mountains and the lower Ob River region were historically called the regions of "Ugra" and "Bersola" in Russia. It has long been inhabited by the Samoyeds, Khantes and Chuds, who are famous for their aquaculture and fur industries, and the Russians have long coveted the wealth here. After the destruction of the Siberian Khanate, Tsarist Russia paved the way for the complete conquest of the lower Ob region. In 1593, after the victory over the Khantes, Tsarist Russia founded the city of Berezov on the site of the Khantic city of Sugmutvash, and continued its march into the Taz River valley from this base. In 1601, the city of Mangajieya was established under the Taz River, marking the beginning of the Russian occupation of the lower Ob River. At the same time, Tsarist Russia stepped up its advance to the upper reaches of the Ob River and established the city of Tomsk at the mouth of the Tom River. In this area. The Russian army also engaged in fierce struggles with the local Mongols and Kyrgyz ethnic groups, and began to push into China's northwestern frontier.

From the beginning of the 17th century, Tsarist Russia continued to expand eastward. In the 20s occupied the Yenisei region. Tsarist Russia's eastward advance was mainly based on the great Siberian Stream, which ran from one stream to another along the large rivers and streams that crisscrossed it. In the middle of two rivers and rivers, the Russians call it the "Dry Road". In winter, you can wade through ice. The "Dry Road with Water" can shorten the distance by many times. By the beginning of the thirties of the 17th century, the Russians had occupied the middle, lower and upper subregions of the Yenisei River.

During the colonization of the Cossacks, information about the Lena River had been heard and some information on the route to the Lena River had been obtained. After occupying the two major river systems in Siberia, the Russian government also wanted to occupy the Lena River, the third largest river system. So they sent troops from Mangajiea in the north and Yeniseisk in the south to occupy the Lena River at the same time. The Cossack army crossed numerous rivers and rivers to the Lena River valley mainly by means of the northern route of the Lower Tunguska River, the southern route of the Upper Tunguska River and the ancient roads often used by the ancient Evenki (i.e. Tunguska). They plundered their goods up and down the river and established strongholds. Medium-Velyuysk, Niezhny Velyuysk and Verkhniy Velyuysk were established successively. In 1638, the Russian government ordered the establishment of the Yakuk Governor's Palace, which incorporated a large area of land in the Lena River region into Russian territory. After that, Yakutsk became the command center for further Russian expeditions into Northeast Asia.

Northeast Asia is geographically more complex, bordering the Arctic Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk, in addition to high mountains and rivers. From the end of the 30s of the 17th century, the Russian Cossacks began an expedition to the northeast ~. They reached the Okhotsk Sea mainly by sea from the mouth of the Lena River, by sea using the Lena River and its tributaries, or by dry routes, or by several different routes. In the process of gradually advancing eastward, the Russian colonizers established a number of castles and winter camps in the region. By the 50-60s of the 17th century, the Cossacks foot / Then, they began to advance towards Kamchatka. By 1711, the entire Kamchatka Peninsula was conquered and incorporated into the Russian territory. After occupying Northeast Asia and Kamchatka, Russia stepped up its advance into Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific.

In the course of Russia's expansion into Siberia and the Far East, it also extended its tentacles to Lake Baikal and the Heilongjiang region. In the 30s and 40s of the 17th century, Otsk was the center. Invasion of the Baikal region from two directions, western and northern, respectively. The Cossacks founded Baragansk (1654) and Irkutsk (Verkholensk (1642) in the upper reaches of the Lena River basin. The Cossacks founded Verkhniy Angarsk (1647) and: in the year Baontovsk Fort was founded. In this way, the Russian ** team largely surrounded Lake Baikal with strongholds from the north, laying the foundation for further southward and eastward advances.

From the southern shore of Lake Baikal, the Russian ** team went all the way south to the Mongolian region of China, and continued to reach the Shilka River in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and then invaded the Heilongjiang River. On the roads to the east and south, the Russians chose land and water to build a number of towns and forts. For example, 1658 (Nebuchu). 165865. Leng 1666:|movement, and trade with China played an important role.

In the 40th and 50th centuries of the 17th century, Tsarist Russia invaded the Heilongjiang River Valley. In 1643, Cossack Poyarkov took the Aldan River, a tributary of the Lena River, and then entered the Mka River in New York along the Uchul River, then crossed the Trans-Khingan Mountains, took the mountain land route, and finally entered the Jingqili River (Jieya River), a tributary of the Heilongjiang River. The other route is from the Oreokma River. Follow its tributary, the Tugil River, to the Heilongjiang River. Khabarov's expedition to Heilongjiang was this road. In order to strengthen management, in 1656 the Russian government established the Oryok Minsk Fort at the mouth of the Orema River.

Russia conquered vast areas of Siberia and the Far East. Immediately, administrative and military institutions were established to control and implement colonial rule. At the beginning, the whole of Siberia was managed by the Siberian Governorate sent by the central government, which was one of the eight major Russian governors at that time, and it consisted of oblasts, border provinces, border regions and other military and political ruling institutions, and then the Siberian Governorate was divided into the East Siberian Governorate and the West Siberian Governorate, and gradually evolved into East Siberia (the capital Irkutsk) and Amu in modern times

(the capital Boli, later changed to Vladivostok), the steppe (the capital Omsk (the capital Tomsk) four major governorates.

After the middle of the 19th century, in the process of expanding to the northern plains, Tsarist Russia invaded the northeast and northwest regions of China with force. Taking advantage of the decline of the Qing government, they forced the Qing Dynasty to sign a series of unequal treaties such as the Sino-Russian >: The Chronicles, and seized from China about 154 large areas of territory north of the Heilongjiang River, south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, and east of the Ussuri River to the sea. So far. The eastern part of Russia was the most extensive and became the 21st Boundary of Russia and Siberia......

"Captain, the captain wants me to inform you. I saw the light signal that answered, and the anchor was lowered in five minutes. ”

His thoughts were interrupted by the herald's words, and Liang Gensheng mechanically replied, "I know the way", got up and returned to the cabin.

"Brethren."

His voice was deep, deep, full of masculine, expansive force.

Everyone stood up and looked forward to his next speech.

"Who built this airship under our feet?"

"Chinese!"

"Who does the land below the airship belong to?"

"Chinese land!"

"The sky above the airship, the universe outside the sky, who does it belong to!"

"Chinese, Chinese! It's all Chinese! ”

"The Chinese Empire - Long live!"

"Long live !!"

The mountains are roaring and the tsunami is boiling, this is exactly what Liang Gensheng wants, wants to indulge in, and wants to melt......

……

Archan, forward command post of the 1st Panzer Army.

In the spacious rear compartment of the "Zhi Leopard" armored command vehicle, Xu Soul, commander of the group army, was holding his inseparable Tang knife, leaning on the bulkhead and napping.

"Commander Xing asks to see you." Through the canvas curtain propped up outside the hatch, the reluctant reports of the guards could be heard.

Xu Soul rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Please." ”

The curtain of the door was opened, and the tall man who bent down and got in was Lieutenant General Xing Xiaoqiang, the commander of the Fourth Armored Army.

Seeing that Xu Soul was still sleepy-eyed, Xing Xiaoqiang took off his hat uneasily and said, "Commander, have you been disturbed to rest......"

Xu Soul waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry about this, why did I call you here in the middle of the night?" ”

Xing Xiaoqiang thought for a while: "Do you want me to leave early in 4?" ”

Xu Soul shook his head. Leaning forward with a knife, he leaned forward: "You are not going to Angarsk. ”

"That ......"

"Six hours ago, the reconnaissance team directly under the direct jurisdiction of the group army was attacked by an armored car unit 10 kilometers east of this place, do you know this?"

"Yes."

"The results of the interrogation of the captives came out, and the troops, who had come from the Irkutsk fortress, had come by order of the commander of the East Siberian Front, Bareyev, to inspect Arshan and the 4 places of infantry and cavalry.

"Archan has been occupied by our army, and those two divisions can be regarded as completely destroyed."

"That's right," Xu Soul clenched the hilt of his sword with both hands, "I think Commander Palayev should have confirmed this situation by now." ”

"Didn't wipe out the enemy?"

"According to the confessions of the captives, it was confirmed that half of the enemy vehicles had escaped. Two more important officers of our reconnaissance team have gone missing and have not yet returned. ”

"Even if he is captured, the emperor will definitely die rather than give in."

"You don't need them to speak, it's enough to see their ranks, that Bareyev is not a stupid man, he almost saved Ulan-Ude's death."

If Valeyev heard his opponent praise him like this, he must have burst into tears, and many sincere "basic feelings" between men sprouted.

When Xing Xiaoqiang heard this, he suddenly said: "So, the commander believes that the main force of the other side will retreat from the front line of the Irkut River?" ”

"This is also the judgment of the Front Command." Xu Soul emphasized. "The enemy had been with the Fourth Army for two days and three nights on the Bend, and once the flanks were exposed. The Russians must have reacted faster than rabbits. ”

Before Xu Soul finished speaking, Xing Xiaoqiang had already put his feet together: "Understood, please give the commander an order." ”

Xu Soul nodded with satisfaction: "Well, although it is earlier than expected, your four armies will still turn in that direction sooner or later; - Now I order you to lead the entire 4th Army and the Praetorian Cavalry Corps, the 4th Janissary Infantry Regiment, and the 3rd Janissary Motorized Artillery Battalion to attack along the highway between Arshan and the Irkutsk fortress, outflank the rear of the enemy's main forces on the river bend, and divide and cut off the enemy as much as possible with a resolute and powerful mobile assault. The first stage of your division is the 3rd infantry support. The second stage was supported by the 3rd Army's infantry, cavalry, and 3rd cavalry.

"Understood!"

"Remember, your mission is to hold back the enemy's field forces as much as possible and prevent them from escaping back to the fortress, and to be careful to protect your baggage wagons. The oil bombs are all planned to be used, and from tomorrow the logistics convoy of the army group will focus on supporting the Angarsk direction, and you may have to wait until you meet with the 4th Regiment to get supplies. ”

"Yes. At that time, after the rectification and replenishment are completed, I will lead the army north as soon as possible to join the main force of the group army. ”

Xu Soul smiled and stretched out his hand: "I hope to see you again soon." ”

……

One hundred and twenty kilometers away, the headquarters of the Northern Front in Baikalsk was still lit up in daylight.

Chief of Staff Xiang Lan put down the two cups of tea in his hand and pushed one of them forward, and a meter away in front of him, Commander Wang Zhi, with gray sideburns, was holding his elbows and squinting, as if he was asleep.

"Do you want to go to sleep? Here I am. ”

Hearing someone talking in front of him, Wang Zhi jumped up and saw that it was Xiang Lan, so he shook his head and smiled: "See you laugh...... Just had a silly dream. ”

"What is a silly dream?"

Wang Zhi picked up the teacup, scraped the tea lid and took a sip, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing...... Katsutake, what do you think a brother is? ”

Xiang Lan winked: "Brother? The commander pointed to what we Mongols call 'Anda'. ”

"Exactly."

"Shengwu has grown up since he was a child, knowing his father and son, monarchs and ministers, up and down, in addition, the people I admire to learn from are my teachers, the people I respect and know, the people I respect, and I dare to trust each other with my life, and answer for me."

"Trust your life with your life...... What would you do if Dian betrayed you? ”

Xiang Lan Yanya smiled: "Then fight with your life." ”

The king looked up to the sky and sighed

"Ann, Ann...... Before the power, Anda was able to count what he was doing, and I was really confused. ”

"The Commander need not care, if your Ann betrays you. In exchange for your disgust and revenge, didn't you also settle it? ”

Wang Zhi smiled and waved his hand: "Don't mention this, what's new?" ”

"30 minutes ago, the army aviation special forces had successfully descended in Angarsk

"Well, they'll make it." The king made a prophetic state.

"I hope so......" Xiang Lan is more cautious.

"What about the Troopers on the Lake?"

"There's no news yet, it's estimated that it's going to be the second half of the night."

Wang Zhi opened his mouth and yawned, poured half a cup of tea violently, put down the teacup, and leaned heavily on the back of the chair: 4 is going to counterattack, and 1 episode must be followed up in time. If you are lucky, 4 in the north, 4 in the south, 3 in the west, and Lake Baikal in the east, just wrap five or six divisions of the river bend into a net, trap them in the field and eat them, and the provinces will flee into the fortress and block our hearts. ”

"Even if luck is on the enemy's side. Most of the leakage from the net is gone, and the follow-up ground will soon beat them to smithereens with siege artillery, along with the fortress. This time we can use the water transport system around Lake Baikal to deliver artillery and ammunition. The preparation time for a siege will be much shorter than when fighting Ulan-Ude. Xiang Lan added.

Wang Zhi nodded, and shook his head again: "Things won't be so simple, I don't believe it, Mao Zi will watch more than 100,000 people in Irkutsk being dumplings by us, and he won't save them." There must be a backhand, and the base camp should also be aware of it......"

Xiang Lan smiled: "We can't be in a hurry, and we can't speed up time." ”

"But time can be distorted and deformed......," Wang Zhi muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, maybe I should really sleep, you go to sleep too, there shouldn't be anything before dawn."

Meanwhile. In Irkutsk, more than 100 kilometers north of Baikalsk, the commander of the Russian army, Bareyev, was pacing back and forth with his huge fat belly, and in front of him sat two tired, dusty officers - one wearing the shock-proof fur hat of an armored soldier and the other holding the narrow-brimmed hat of a regular cavalryman.

Maybe out of pity. Perhaps simply tired of walking, Bareyev suddenly stopped and waved his hand behind him: "You have all worked hard. Find a place to rest. ”

The two men were relieved, stood up, saluted, and left, leaving only Pareyev and his chief of staff, Tokarev, in the room.

Parayev put his hands behind his back, groaned for a while, and suddenly rubbed the soles of his leather boots and turned around, staring at Tokarev with his small eyes seriously: "What do you think?" ”

Tokarev took off his thick glasses under the bottle, reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose that had been imprinted by the frame, and put them back on, and then slowly spoke: "The survivors of the armored car company and the 4th Division have already recounted their tragic experiences, and I think their words are credible. Archand was already in the hands of the enemy, and the 4 divisions were finished, so it was assumed that the 15 defense line should have collapsed long ago. ”

"That is, we were fooled? The 15th Division was the main attacker of the enemy

"That's the only way to judge for the time being." Tokarev got up and walked to the map shelf, and drew a few lines with his fingers in the not-so-dim electric light. "In any case, an enemy rapid mobile force with armored forces as the main body has appeared on the flank of the main forces of our army on the river bend. This unit can attack directly from our flank, coordinate with the enemy forces in front of the river bend, and carry out a two-sided flanking attack on the main force of our army; It can also be interspersed between the fortress and the bend of the river, cutting off the connection between our field troops and the defenders of the Irkutsk fortress; It is even possible to take Angarsk in a long-distance raid and cut off the supply lines of our field troops and the defenders of the fortress. ”

Paleyev tightened his eyebrows: "They can also do all three things at the same time, so that we will really become dead birds in a cage." ”

"Commander, the main forces on the bend must immediately retreat, and at the same time we must ensure the back of the Angarsk side." Tokarev immediately spoke.

Bareev thought for a moment and lifted the receiver of the phone: "To the Angarsk garrison." ”

A minute later, Baleyev put down the phone.

"What's wrong?" Tokarev saw that the commander's face was very bad.

"The phone line is broken."

"The enemy could not have advanced so fast, perhaps it was sabotage by agents."

Bareyev narrowed his eyes and reached out to rub his fleshy chin: "No, I have a bad premonition...... There is no room for hesitation or carelessness at such times! Our local chief of staff, you just said that it is necessary to ensure the back of Angarsk? ”

"It's the ground. The base camp gave us the task of pinning down and holding back the enemy's troops, not sending our precious field troops into the enemy's pocket, and although the fortress that had been in operation for many years was worth defending, at least most of the field troops should be withdrawn to Krasnoyarsk, and then to Novosibirsk, resisting step by step, scorching the earth everywhere, and using the vast space of Siberia as much as possible to buy us time to defeat the Germans. ”

Baleyev nodded "En", and suddenly slapped the table: "Angarsk must not be lost!" How many more mobile forces can we squeeze out? I'm talking about something that can be called immediately. ”

Tokarev counted his fingers, looked up and replied: "Six garrison companies and two artillery batteries originally planned to be sent to Archan. Because the situation is not right, it has been withdrawn, and now it can come in handy. There were two companies in Markova, the nearest south of Angarsk, two companies in Usoliye, a little further north, and three cavalry companies in the fortress, which had been used for rear patrols, ready to be dispatched. The last ones were the Baikal and Angara armored trains, which were of little use if they remained in the fortress anyway. ”

"No, it's not enough, draw two more battalions from the reserve regiment of the fortress garrison."

"But ...... like this"

Bareyev sneered: "This fortress does not need reserves for the time being, unless the enemy's chariots can fall from the sky." ”

At this moment. If only Baleyev could see through the forty kilometers of night sky the small chariots with Chinese characters painted on their bodies and winged wolf emblems slowly descending from huge airships. It is estimated that I will vomit blood to **.

Angarsk, a small town sandwiched between the Angar River and its tributary, the Kitoy River, has a ferry terminal along the bank of the Angar River to the northeast, and the Trans-Siberian Railway runs through the town from southeast to northwest, and crosses the Kitoy River by an iron bridge in the northwest of the town

It's called Kitoi Bridge.

Now, to be specific, at 2 a.m. on June 24, 1915, the Kitoy Bridge had been seized by the airborne special forces led by Liang Gensheng, and the telephone line between Angarsk and Irkutsk had already been cut off. More than half of the 500 Russian troops stationed at the Angarsk station had already suffered casualties, and the rest fled to the station shunting yard, where they continued to resist stubbornly by relying on the fence, coal piles, wagons, and railroad tracks.

The small town was full of gunfire, and Liang Gensheng leaned against a wall. Taking off the small flashlight pinned to the left shoulder of the tactical vest and illuminating the map board hanging around his neck, he gathered around him several special operations elites who had survived the battles in Hawaii and Malaya: Wang Yuhan, the chief staff officer of the wing and the great Han of Shandong. The leader of the 1st squadron, Guangxi Changlu Bing, and the captain of the 5th squadron, Zhou Yanjian, a northeastern man who is obsessed with bayonets and daggers. plus Wei Yuankun, the leader of the tank squadron who was only recently incorporated into the special service wing.

"Sir, there is a mess in the shunting yard, the wagons are everywhere, and it is so dark, if you rush in, I am afraid you will lose a lot of brothers." Carrying the Jinling submachine gun on his shoulder, Banksheng panted and reported that his 1st Squadron was the first to descend, the first to rush to the Kitoy Bridge, and the first to storm Angarsk—correspondingly, the heaviest loss, with 14 men killed and wounded in 90 minutes.

"Use special smoke bombs, it's not windy now, and there is a wall outside the shunting yard, which is just right." Wang Yuhan said with a pistol.

"There's not much of that, you should save it for the most important thing before using it, just drive the chariot in and run it back and forth, it's almost the same." Major Wei Yuankun, who has been newly transferred for less than a month, is eager to try.

"Captain Wei, it's not that we don't want to let the chariot go, the squad leader said just now, there are a lot of wagons parked in a mess, plus the black lights are blinding, not to mention the chariot, it's difficult for people to get in."

Wei Yuankun still had to fight again, Liang Gensheng turned off the flashlight and made a decision in an unquestionable tone: "Concentrate all the special smoke bombs and launch a general attack at 2:30." The 1st squadron is responsible for the projectile, the squadron is from the south gate, and the 4th squadron is from the north gate, wearing masks and entering the field to sweep, and the battle is quickly resolved! The 5th team and the convoy returned to the north artillery team of the bridge to stand by, and the 2nd team went to the south of the town along the railway line to stand guard. The wing headquarters was guarded by the 5th squad of the 3rd team, and the front finger was opened behind the grove south of the bridge within 1 hour - all understood? ”

"Ming-white!"

The captains scattered in all directions, Liang Gensheng led Wang Yuhan, climbed onto a nearby "flying wolf" chariot, ran to the bridgehead with headlights, and drove all the way to the small forest south of the bridge, where the local radio group of the wing headquarters was waiting.

Liang Gensheng jumped out of the chariot, took out a bag of unicorn cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out two and handed them to the telegraph operator on duty.

"What's the news?"

"The command called back. Execute Step 3

"What about the 1st Army?"

"There are still 30 minutes to the scheduled communication interval."

Liang Gensheng patted the young man on the shoulder, leaned on a thigh-thick Siberian mountain hair~|, and lit a cigarette for himself.

...... Too easy?

What is Easy? What is Difficulty?

Is it easier to choose to stay, or is it more difficult to choose to leave? Is it easier to fight for your own blood, or is it harder to hide for your own life?

Liang usually chooses only the path he thinks is the easiest for him, even if such a choice is clearly irrational to many.

Each time, each time it landed behind a distant enemy, and then, as a matter of course, it was surrounded by enemy regiments, and struggled to support it with a disadvantage of one-tenth or one-tenth of the enemy's forces. It was also necessary to protect the target—usually a bridge large enough to affect the course of the battle—from being destroyed, and even the wing commander would inevitably have to fire at a dozen paces of enemy fire from a dozen paces away from the swarm.

Luck will run out.

Liang Gensheng felt that a destined bullet or a bunch of shrapnel would sooner or later burrow into his body that had exhausted his luck, but in this way, he was likely to have new luck and face new adventures.

Adrenaline was boiling, and the world needed to be changed more radically, so he came here. Meet that person and determine your fate.

Before the creation of the New Epoch. It is necessary to destroy the Old World Realm first.

Liang Gensheng looked forward to a more complete destruction.

Before that moment comes, one must live, and the other must enrich one's strength.

The former is determined by luck, and the latter - starting with this elite army that has been created by itself.

"Sir, how long did you say we had to keep guard this time?" Wang Yu, who was busy digging foxholes on the side, was cold and unexpectedly interrupted Liang Gensheng's thoughts.

"You have to keep it for as long as you want." After Liang Gensheng finished speaking, he flicked off the cigarette butt, took out his sapper shovel, and silently joined the pit digging party.

On a grassy slope 80 kilometers southwest of Angarsk, a number of vehicles of various types were formed in an oval formation, all with their headlights on. The surroundings are as bright as day.

In the middle of the elliptical array, outside the tail cabin of a "wise wolf" commanding chariot, a half-circle of officers stood solemnly, listening to the lecture of a colonel with a dignified and elegant appearance and a mustache.

"Today. Our brigade fought three battles in a row, routed one of the enemy's cavalry divisions plus several companies of infantry, and passed through a fortified town. In one breath, the enemy army rushed into depth for 70 kilometers, which is a new record for the Imperial Armored Corps, a new glory! ”

"It's been a long day, everyone has worked hard, but we don't have time to stop and rest, no, it's the enemy that doesn't allow us to rest!"

"Everyone knows that in the last Asian-Russian war, the 4th Cavalry Regiment of our army blocked the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in Yablonovo with the strength of 1,000 people, creating an opportunity for the main force of our army to encircle and annihilate the enemy's heavy army group in Chita - now, in Angarsk, a special unit of the army aviation is creating another miracle in Yablonovo! Just received a telegram that they have captured the Kitoy iron bridge and are sweeping the Angarsk railway station, Irkutsk, together with hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on the front line of the Alkut River, have been stuck in supply lines and blocked the retreat! ”

"However, compared with the battle of Yablonovo that year, they had a total of less than 400 people, neither accidentally captured a large number of Russian artillery, nor the terrain near the iron bridge was not conducive to defense, and forty kilometers away is the rear general base of the Russian army's Alkut River front - Irkutsk Fortress, it only takes a few hours, and a large number of Russian troops can reach Angarsk by train."

"They will fight to the end until our chariots reach them, but brothers, touch your breasts and think about it, it is not a gap that cannot be opened by one man, but two big

On the flat ground, less than 400 thin soldiers with only submachine guns in their hands, and hundreds of cannons of the enemy, how long can they hold out? ”

"I know that the brothers are sleepy, their faces covered with soot, their ears buzzing, their stomachs rumbling, and many of the companies of the fallen carts have not yet caught up—but, brethren, do you bear to let the brave men who have ventured behind enemy lines for our sake die in vain so that we may have time to rest, wash, eat, and wait for the stragglers?"

"Can't!" A tall second lieutenant was the first to raise his fist and shout, and everyone followed in unison, shouting three times in a row.

"Brigade commander, give the order, we can hit the road after refueling!"

"yes. Give the order! ”

In the face of his enthusiastic subordinates, Yuan Xu, the commander of the 1st Brigade of Outfit, who had just finished delivering an incendiary speech mixed with false plots, raised his hands with satisfaction and signaled everyone to be quiet.

There was silence all around, and dozens of eyes full of anticipation and enthusiasm were aimed at Yuan Xu, as if they could ignite this middle-aged soldier known as "Armored Little Zhuge " in the next second.

Although Yuan Xu did not know that the Ludao special forces were equipped with combat vehicles, he knew very well that the main force of the Russian army was dragged by our group army in the bend area of the middle reaches of the Arkut River, and it was impossible for the Irkutsk fortress garrison, which had limited troops, to ignore the fortress and rush out to counterattack Angarsk. Judging by Yablonovo's experience, as soon as the day dawns. The Angarsk special forces will be able to receive maximum air support, and our army's air forces, which have unilateral air supremacy, will cut off a "no man's land" in front of and behind the positions of the special forces, and at least until dark, the special forces will still have a chance.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, Yuan Xu can't bet, the group army needs that bridge, the front army needs that bridge, and the empire needs that bridge!

There must be no chance of anything left to chance!

Eighty kilometers is not a long distance. To say that it is not short, the key is how many enemies are there in front? What about the defenses? The fog of war is always there. The enemy situation changes at any time, the information obtained today may be outdated tomorrow, the effectiveness of the intelligence is directly proportional to the speed of the troops' mobility, these Yuan Xu knows all too well, but he knows even better that his subordinates are not supermen made of steel.

He put down his hand and instructed in the tone of a warm-hearted uncle next door: "Pass the order, all departments should hurry up to complete the rectification and repair work, and each cooking unit will cook a hot meal and start a meal at any time." Prepare another cold meal for tomorrow. After eating, all parts of the liner are closed. At half past four in the morning, the whole army marched on time. Do you get it? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and it was the tall second lieutenant who took the lead and said, "But...... Brigade commander, the secret service is not ......"

"We were going to get to Angarsk as soon as possible, but there was a premise. Even after we get there, we still have the energy to drive the enemy away. Above, disbanded—"

……

The sky was slightly bleak. The outline of the Kitoi Iron Bridge gradually became clear on the misty surface of the river.

A soldier with a submachine gun on his back paced to the middle of the iron bridge and found a man standing at the railing not far away, with his hands under his waist, throwing something out of the railing.

The soldier raised his gun and leaned over cautiously.

"Wolf head!"

"Bear whip." The code was correct, and the man added, "It's me, Captain." ”

The soldiers hurriedly put away their guns and saluted.

Liang Gensheng fastened his belt and turned around to return the salute.

"It's nothing, leave some memorial for this river, do you want to commemorate it too?"

"No...... No, I haven't ...... yet" The little soldier wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the muscles on his face knotted together.

Suddenly, there was a sparse gunfire from the south side of the bridge, Liang Gensheng smiled slightly, tore off the submachine gun on his shoulder, and patted the little soldier: "Go back to your position, it's time to start." ”

Three hours ago, more than 200 Russian troops entrenched in the shunting yard of Angarsk station were smoked down by special smoke bombs fired from all directions, and the 3rd and 4th squadrons, which wore smoke masks and entered the field to sweep up, followed the consistent principle of leaving no living mouth of the 9th Wing of the Special Service, and slaughtered all the Russian troops who had lost their combat effectiveness with pistols and daggers. Subsequently, the 1st Squadron blocked the roads around the town, and the 3rd Squadron swept house to house, and the civilians were handed over to the 4th Squadron, and escorted to the Kitoy River, where all the old, young, women, and children were shot and killed, and the bodies were thrown into the boiling river.

Two hours ago, Liang Gensheng once again summoned the commanders of each team to deploy the defense around the iron bridge.

As in the previous two times, both ends of the bridge were in the enemy's range of power, which could be attacked at any time, but there were also important directions - this time in the direction of Irkutsk.

In order to defend against the enemy from the direction of Irkutsk, Angarsk, with hundreds of buildings and hundreds of wagons, is a natural core defensive stronghold, and fighting in towns and cities is more conducive to the melee and ambush skills of the special forces.

With the subway road passing through the town as the dividing line, Xiao Ning's 3rd Squadron was responsible for defending the east side of the town, Lu Bing's 4th Squadron was responsible for the south side, Bankson's 1st Squadron was mainly guarding the railway station and shunting yard in the center of the town and serving as the reserve of the 3rd and 4th Squadrons, and the 3rd Squadron of the 1st Squadron was responsible for guarding the wing headquarters in the woods at the southern end of the iron bridge.

Zhou Yanjian's 4th Squadron was deployed on the high ground on both sides of the bridge, and two artillery squads were deployed on the grassy slope between the high ground and the river bank.

Wei Yuankun's chariot squadron guarded the north of the bridge with two "Jiehu" units, and the other two squadrons, "Jiehu" and "Flying Wolf", each of which stayed near the Qiaonan Wing Team Headquarters, as the reserve directly under the wing.

In any case, more than 300 people guarding a small town plus an iron bridge are still too reluctant, and how to deploy them seems to be stretched.

"If you have a chariot, you don't have to worry about anything!" While Liang Gensheng encouraged his subordinates so much, he also secretly prayed that he would not run into the legendary two-story tall perverted chariot with heavy armor and huge cannons of the Mao Zijun.

The second half of the night always passed very quickly, and after giving the order, Liang Gensheng leaned against the trunk of the tree and squinted for a while, and when he felt that his shoulders were swelling badly, the sky was bright.

Rubbing his eyes, he came to the bridge, took a few deep breaths of the early morning mist of the Kitoi River, unbuckled his trousers, and released a large bubble of "memorial" out of the railing, which met the ignorant recruit just now.

Now that the memorial has been kept, the gun has gone off, and the moment of anticipation has arrived, what is there to hesitate about?

"Miss Cai, wait for me."

Leaving these words with his back to the iron bridge, Liang Gensheng exhaled to Tianchang, and with the excitement of a predator on his face, he strode towards his position.
