363 Jungle Warfare Group

Serto gave the order to retreat, but difficulties followed, it turned out that the Russian army did not expect to be defeated by the Chinese troops, let alone be so embarrassed, so there was no retreat plan at all.

In war, retreat is a matter that requires careful deployment, which unit is responsible for blocking, how long the blocker force is blocking, which unit is responsible for rotating blocking, if these are not properly arranged, the large army can break out of the encirclement, but the blocking force is thrown away.

The retreat of the troops is not just a matter of running out, the equipment and materials of the troops need to be transported, and the information and documents that cannot be taken away need to be destroyed, all of which must be arranged in advance, and if you are not careful, the retreat may turn into a rout, and these arrangements are implemented by the system, that is, the retreat plan.

Since the Russian army has no retreat plan, these things have to be arranged now, time is pressing, Serto hurriedly chose the retreat route, and ordered his elite second battalion to take on the task of blocking, and the rest was not taken care of, with the command and the remnants of the Russian army, retreating to the southeast, wanting to cross the Ussuri River.

The Russian army then abandoned several heights, leaving only the elite second battalion to establish a defensive position near the 247 heights to block the Chinese troops, the most critical point of the blocking operation is to hold the intersection, not to let the other side pass through the road, and pursue their own retreating troops, so the Russian fortresses on the 247 heights have become decorations, and the elite second battalion has to race against time to dig trenches and repair fortifications on the mountain roads near the heights.

Jin Cheng and Liu Jiu led the troops to attack one mountain peak after another, and found that the mountain peaks behind were not guarded by the Russian army, not only that, but the fortress was also in chaos, the safety of the heavy machine gun was still on, and the bullets were scattered all over the place, soaked in the vodka that flowed out of the overturned wine bottle, as soon as Jin Cheng reported to Chen Fei, Chen Fei understood that the Russian army was going to run!

There is only one mountain road available for retreat, so Chen Fei does not need to mobilize drones to reconnoitre, Chen Fei does not want to let go of the Russian army, so in front of Chen Fei, there are only two options left, one is to order the troops to bypass Hudong Mountain and intercept the Russian army outside the mountain, this choice was quickly vetoed by Chen Fei, because if you detour from outside the mountain, the distance is too far, if you want to catch up with the Russian army, there is only one option left, that is, to open up the passage on the 247 heights, Chen Fei then ordered all departments to step up the march, and the commander of the forward force is Zhang Yao, He led his troops to gallop along the mountain road, when suddenly gunshots rang out in front of him, and he hurriedly ordered his troops to lie down.

Everyone hurriedly lay down on the ground, only to find that in the jungle in front of the right, several Russians were hiding behind a tree and shooting at them, Zhang Yao waved his hand, and the first company in front was hiding behind the tree, and the second company in the back was outflanked by the situation.

Zhang Yao got up from the ground, but stood on the spot, did not move, and the company commander next to him asked, "Battalion commander, why don't we leave?" ”

Zhang Yao waved his hand and said, "I'm thinking, we can't rush forward like this." ”

The commander of the first company hurriedly asked, "What is it for?" If you don't chase it, won't the ** child run away! Zhang Yao pointed to the jungle and said: "You see, the jungle here is dense, the enemy is dark and we are clear, if the Russian army is scattered, they can fight our ambush in the jungle." ”

The first company commander smiled helplessly and said, "Battalion commander, why haven't you figured it out, can you be an ambush for us with just such a few people!" Impossible, if they dare to set up an ambush, our people can go up directly from behind and make dumplings for them. ”

Zhang Yao said: "The purpose of the Russians is not to destroy how many of us, but to drag us down, and every time there is a small ambush, our troops will stop once, so that the Russian army will not escape?" ”

The commander of the first company suddenly realized and said, "I see, but do we have any good solutions?" ”

Zhang Yao thought for a while and said, "Of course there is a way, but it requires the cooperation of the Sixth Division. ”

The first company commander hurriedly asked, "What is this method?" ”

Zhang Yao said: "Give full play to the mountain division's jungle combat expertise, let them form a jungle special operations team, in front of us, search for the Russian army along the jungle, and open the way for our large army!" ”

After Zhang Yao finished speaking, he informed Chen Fei of his thoughts, and the Sixth Division was also on standby nearby, and Chen Fei immediately ordered the Sixth Division to form a jungle special operations team and search forward along the route of the First Division.

Zhang Yao's analysis is indeed not wrong, the elite second battalion of the Russian army knows that its strength and combat effectiveness are far from the Chinese troops, and if it is held on the 247 heights, I am afraid that it will not take ten minutes for the defense line to be broken through by the Chinese troops, so the Russian commander adopted the method of scattered and blocked the attack, dividing the troops into two parts, one part continued to build trenches and fortifications on the 247 heights to prepare for the attack, and the other part was broken into pieces and dispersed into the jungle to block the Chinese troops.

According to common sense, no army will adopt such a way of fighting, because this is a temperate forest, the density of trees is far less than that of the tropical rainforest, and the troops responsible for the task of dispersing and blocking have no good hiding places, and there is no retreat route if they are discovered, so once these blocking groups are discovered by the Chinese troops, there is only one way to die, that is, the iron-blooded regiment of the Russian army dares to fight such a suicide blockade.

If they were holding off other armies, maybe this trick would have worked, but they were facing Lin Yuan's carefully organized mountain division and infantry division, and the mountain division quickly organized the troops into small teams of five and searched and advanced along the edge of the jungle at a distance of more than 100 meters in front of the first division. The Russian army thought that the Chinese troops would walk along the mountain paths, and did not expect the Chinese troops to send jungle combat teams at all, so when the jungle combat teams appeared behind them, they did not know anything, and the first few blocking groups were eliminated without even firing a single shot.

The Russian team in the distance could hear the battle situation from the gunfire, and when they heard the gunfire of the Chinese troops, they knew that the battle situation in Ludao was unusually not smooth, and Lin Yuan's attack plan played a role at this time, and many Russian blocking teams took the initiative to come out of the forest and surrender to the first division, and the first division had to send people to guard them.

The Russian army also set up blocking points on the mountain roads, each of which had only five people, and there were no machine guns, as soon as the jungle combat team found such a blocking point, they immediately pounced on their rear and flanked the front and back of the first division, so the Russian defense line on the mountain road quickly collapsed.

Under the two-front attack, the Russian army's carefully arranged scattered blocking plan only "stubbornly" held out for half an hour, and the main force of the first division appeared in front of the 247 heights. The first division only used one charge, the Russian defense line on the mountain road was broken through, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers fled up the mountain in a hurry, among which the commander of the elite second battalion saw that his carefully arranged defense line did not hold on for three minutes, he was angry and angry, and committed suicide with a gun, and there were fortresses on the mountain, and the Russian army was defending in these fortresses.

The 1st Division did not entangle with them too much, leaving only one battalion of troops, and the rest continued to pursue the Russian army from the mountain road, if the Russian troops on the hill shot from the fortress, they could still play some role in blocking the 1st Division, but their fighting spirit had been exhausted, especially the commanders were killed.

So the Russian troops on the mountain discussed, it was better to surrender, anyway, Lin Yuan's troops did not abuse the prisoners, so they raised their guns and surrendered, and the first division chased after them on the mountain road, and the unexpected situation appeared on the mountain road.
