The soldier at the head said helplessly to Zyuganov: "We have no choice, it was okay at the beginning, the road was just slippery, we walked carefully and there was no trouble, we still have to think, wait until noon, after the ice melts, the road will be easy to walk, who knows that after the ice melts, the road will be more difficult to walk!" ”

Zyuganov frowned and asked, "Why is it difficult to walk after melting?" ”

The soldier said: "The water turned into ice and turned the dirt on the mountain road into mud, and when we stepped on it, the mud could come up from both sides of our boots and not reach the surface of our feet, and we could still walk on the flat road, but we could not walk on the hillside, and the mud there was so slippery that it could not stand at all, so we fell a lot of heels and got mud all over our bodies." ”

Zyuganov listened to the soldier's narration, shook his head helplessly, and said: "It seems that we have no way to transport things up again." ”

The veteran said: "If we can't deliver the food on time, the higher authorities will definitely blame, or we will open a way?" ”

Zyuganov said helplessly: "With such a small number of us, it is definitely impossible to drive all the way again, let's wait here, and we will discuss it when the defenders of Buteha come." "Of course, the veteran knows how difficult it is to clear the snow on the road, and with the help of the transport team, it will be summer after the cleanup! I won't say more.

It stands to reason that there is no way to deliver such news on time, and it must be sent to the Russian troops in the mountains, so that they can be prepared, and if it is Zyuganov in the past, this news will definitely be sent up the mountain, but now Zyuganov, on the one hand, sent a message to Butekha behind him for help, and at the same time led the transport team to rest in the camp at the bottom of the mountain.

The Russian army in the mountains did not know about these things, the commander of the Third Army, Peter? Baroyev was also immersed in the joy of the "big victory", the commander of the Russian army participating in the war deliberately revised the number of enemies destroyed in order to invite credit, and Baroyev also needed such a big victory to clear his guilt, so he turned a blind eye and chose to believe in the result of the big victory.

Baroyev judged that the Chinese troops were badly damaged and absolutely incapable of attacking the mountains in a short period of time, so he gave his men a holiday, and released the amount of food rations, so that his subordinates could eat and drink happily, and his staff officers were also sycophants, they only wanted to make Baroyev happy, so no one told the truth of the matter.

Three days after the celebration of the Russian army, the logistics officer came to report: "We are running out of food. ”

Baroyev was also very surprised to hear the news, he counted the days, and said: "Are we running out of food supplies so quickly?" Didn't you just ship a batch three days ago? ”

The logistics officer said: "I don't know what the road is for, but the grain from three days ago was not transported according to the original plan. ”

Baroyev asked: "What's going on?" Didn't you find someone to go down the mountain to see? ”

The logistics officer said: "The troops are already on vacation, so no one is going to see them. ”

Baroyev just woke up from a dream, in this cold weather, there was no food, the whole army was completely finished, so Baroyev hurriedly sent scouts from the mountains to reconnoitre, and the scouts quickly reported the results back, saying that the mountain road had been frozen and impassable.

Baroyev hurriedly ordered everyone to go and clear the ice, but the mountain road was not only long, but also narrow, and could only accommodate three or four people walking side by side, so the snow and ice cleared very slowly.

And Zyuganov under the mountain did not have the slightest intention of going up the mountain to clean up the ice and snow, so the Russian army could only watch the food run out little by little, and the heavy snow closed the mountain, the Russian army just wanted to fight some wild things and had nowhere to go, hunger was like a termite, eating away at the resistance of the Russian army little by little.

Lin Yuan at the foot of the mountain hadn't told everyone about his plan, he just asked the troops to wait patiently and told them that we would soon win the victory, but Chen Fei found Lin Yuan and asked, "Did the plan you said succeed?" Did we really block the grain routes of the Russian army? ”

Lin Yuan said: "I think it's about the same, in the past few days, I have sent people into the mountains and forests every day to inspect, and I found that there are footprints of the Russian army in places where the Russian army has never been before. ”

Chen Fei asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "In the places where the Russian army arrived, the snow in many places has been picked up, and there are traces of tree holes, and some of the soldiers are experienced hunters, and when they look at the locations that have been picked, they know that there are animal nests here, such as squirrels, mice and other small animals, these animals have the habit of storing food in winter." "So, the Russian army opened these places in search of food, and the Russian army didn't even let go of these grains, isn't it out of food?"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he continued: "I thought of another plan, in order to collect our intelligence, the Russian army will also come to our positions from time to time to reconnoitre, right?" ”

Chen Fei nodded and said, "That's right, we've seen each other several times." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Tomorrow you go to those places in person, set up a few cauldrons on the position, then cook things in them, and get a big cloth, and tell the Russian army that as long as you come and surrender, you will have something to eat." ”

Chen Fei nodded in agreement, went back to prepare, Chen Fei came to the vicinity of the position often haunted by the Russian reconnaissance troops, ordered everyone to light a fire, set up a cauldron, put a steamer as high as a hill, steamed buns inside, in the cold air, the water vapor in the steamer soared into the sky.

At this moment, several Russian figures appeared on the opposite side, and as soon as Chen Fei saw them, he said to everyone triumphantly: "Everyone, pay attention, this is Lin Shuai's clever plan, and there will be ** to surrender soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, the Russian army on the opposite side suddenly rang out gunshots, Chen Fei and the others heard the gunshots, and hurriedly fell to the ground in surprise, and the little tiger beside Chen Fei hurriedly asked: "Didn't Lin Shuai say that the ** son would surrender?" How do you shoot at us? ”

At this moment, another gunshot came, Chen Fei listened to it, and then said: "** Zi is not shooting at us, they are shooting their own people!" ”

Xiaohuzi asked in surprise: "Why do they want their own people to beat their own people, is it because there is not enough food to eat, are they grabbing food?" ”

Chen Fei raised his hand, frightened Xiaohuzi and shrunk his neck, and said aggrievedly: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Chen Fei said: "You don't need to use your head to speak, if you want to grab food, why don't you grab it in the camp for nothing, why do you run to the front of our position to grab it!" ”

Xiaohuzi asked: "Why do you want to shoot for the ** son?" ”

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "There must be a reason, wait a minute, let's wait and see." ”

It turned out that on the opposite side was the hardest unit in the entire Russian army - the mountain reconnaissance battalion, because they had to run around in the mountains and forests a lot. Despite their hard work, their food rations did not increase because they did the most work, but on the contrary, the troops in the camp ate their food at this critical juncture of food shortage.

Of course, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were angry, but the other troops had already eaten their food, and they must not be allowed to spit it out again! I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach! Without food, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion said to Baroyev: "Now that the troops have no food, should we reduce some patrols?" ”

The battalion commander's request was reasonable, but I didn't expect Baroyev to flatly refuse!
