At this moment, Chu Tian regretted a little, underestimated these tribal forces, in the previous two days or so, the special operations detachment was targeted by the tribal forces, however, all the forces that appeared were small forces, at most, it was only about three or two thousand people, taking advantage of the favorable conditions of being familiar with the terrain, sneak attacks and harassment from time to time, and under the fierce counterattack of the special operations detachment, the corpses were left all over the place and retreated.

After fighting like this for more than three days, Chu Tian didn't pay much attention to it, according to his own judgment, it should be the retreat route of the special operations detachment, which happened to enter the sphere of influence of these tribal armed forces, which aroused their vigilance, thinking that they were here to grab territory, or foreign forces, to occupy this place, it is normal to use knives and guns.

To this day, in the middle of Karaganda and Lake Balkhash, surrounded by nearly 30,000 Soviet troops and tribal forces, Chu Tiancai suddenly woke up to the fact that in the first three days, these tribal armed forces were mobilizing troops and dispatching troops, and small groups of armed forces were secretly attacking and harassing them, in order to entangle the special operations detachment, but to mobilize more troops and gain time

If he had been vigilant at that time, quickened the speed of the march, and did not entangle with these local armed forces, there would not be the situation of being besieged now, in fact, Chutian still overestimated the ability of these tribal armed forces, and received an order from the local Soviet government, but it was an order a few hours ago, and the previous attack was judged by Chutian, and the local tribes believed that the special operations detachment was a foreign armed force that came to grab territory, so there would be three days of fierce fighting and entanglement.

Thinking about this now, it's useless, Chu Tian took a deep breath, looked at the team members who were busy building fortifications, his eyes swept over the twilight sky, and the Soviet troops outside the encirclement did not attack immediately, obviously mobilizing more troops. Tonight, it may be the last chance to have a good rest, and from tomorrow onwards, it will be a battlefield full of artillery until the reinforcements sent by the division commander arrive.

It's just that the special operations detachment will be able to hold out until that moment? The distance is too far, even if the division commander is arranged immediately, there is no seven or eight days, and the reinforcements will not arrive, this time. The special operations detachment can only fight alone!

The special operations detachment did not go deep behind enemy lines and maneuver among millions of enemy troops, but the current positional defensive warfare is not what the special operations detachment is good at. Once secured in a certain location, tie your hands and feet. All the specialties of the special operators. They can't play out, to put it mildly, there is not much difference from ordinary field troops, and they lack heavy equipment, but their marksmanship is much better.

This is also what Chu Tian is most worried about. "Detachment Leader!" Qi Hanzhi, the chief of staff of the detachment, ran over from the improvised trench and pulled Chutian back into the trench. shouted: "You don't want to die, a bullet from the Soviet soldier came, and you, the captain of the team, have to explain here!" ”

Chu Tian smiled and asked indifferently: "Hejaz, do you think that the marksmanship of Soviet soldiers will be so good?" What do you want me to do? ”

Qi Hanzhi said: "According to your order, I have roughly counted the current ammunition of the troops, the number is not much, and it should be able to hold out for three to five days, but it is in the case of a battle with little intensity, but now you see, the Soviet army has even got armored vehicles, and tomorrow's battle will definitely be lively, and I am afraid that when it is critical, our ammunition will be insufficient, which is a big problem!" ”

Chu Tian didn't speak, his face became heavy, Qi Hanzhi continued: "The situation of the wounded, the various detachments have also been counted, along the way, we fought hundreds of kilometers and killed seven or eight thousand Soviet soldiers, we didn't kill a single person, which is a good record, but there are more than 260 wounded, among which there are more than 50 seriously wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness, I have hidden them to a safe place, detachment leader, you can rest assured!" ”

Chu Tian's eyes were staring ahead, the Soviet army, who was also building fortifications, his voice was as cold as ice, "This happens to be the place where I am most worried, have you seen the armored vehicles of the Soviet army in front?" He said, pointing to his fingers.

The target of the size of the Soviet armored vehicle, coupled with the fact that it was not concealed for deterrence, was parked in a row on the highest hill, of course Qi Hanzhi saw it, but he didn't understand what the detachment commander meant?

"In the battle that starts tomorrow, those Soviet armored vehicles are our biggest threat, and if a shell is smashed, can the current fortifications hold up?" Chu Tian's words made Qi Hanzhi shocked, his face turned pale, and he ignored a big issue related to the life and death of the troops, alas, in the end, he was not from a field army, and he still lacked experience in positional warfare!

In the sinking twilight, Chu Tian's eyes were beating with decisive flames, like a burning bonfire, "Let the team members work hard, don't rest tonight, dig anti-artillery holes and shelters overnight, especially in the forward positions, to be able to withstand the artillery fire on the Soviet armored vehicles, this hand, I still learn from the division commander!" Chu Tian's tone seemed to carry a sense of nostalgia!

"By the way, Hejaz, hasn't the division commander replied to the telegram yet?" He suddenly diverted the subject and asked.

Qi Hanzhi shook his head, and at this time, the communications staff officer ran over along the trench and said excitedly: "Detachment leader! Chief of staff! The division commander sent a telegram back! ”

Qi Hanzhi took the telegram, read it quickly, his eyes lit up with excitement, and said: "Detachment commander, the division commander ordered us to hold on for another twenty-four hours, and the reinforcements will arrive, the division commander used all the transport planes of the Southern and Northern Flight Group, hey, even the division headquarters guard brigade has been sent, Captain Huang serves as the commander of the reinforcements, and the paratroop regiment of the Southern Flying Group, detachment leader, we are not afraid!" ”

Chu Tian laughed silently, he didn't expect that the division commander's response would be so rapid, using all the transport planes of the air force to transport reinforcements, and also sending out the personal guard brigade, for a while, he had a feeling of guilt.

"Hejaz, send reinforcements from the division commander and report to all the team members that they will arrive in 24 hours, and the anti-artillery holes and shelters will still be dug, and we will have to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Soviet troops and tribal forces for a day and a night!"

At night, in Saiyin Shanda in southern Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli stood alone outside the house where the cold wind was howling, and the mountain tiger had already led the team to set off, this kung fu was almost to Erenhot, and the first batch of reinforcements from the Indochina Peninsula had also taken off, but in his heart, he still couldn't rest assured that the special operations detachment was besieged by the Soviet army in Kazakhstan, and the anxiety brought to him was even more than the imminent war.

The battle of Saiyin Shanda is under his own control, but outside the lonely army, the special operations detachment that is deeply encircled affects his own heart, and in a day and a night, any situation can happen, and the lone army is surrounded, which is often the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe took a telegram, came outside the house, and said with concern: "Division commander, it's windy outside, you have to pay attention to your body, let's go back to the house!" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and asked, "Yuhe, what's new?" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Sheng Shicai called back!" ”

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli's brows moved, "What did he say?" He asked.

Zhao Yuhe smiled and said: "Sheng Shicai called back and said that he would completely obey your orders, and the Xinjiang garrison would do their best to cooperate, preparing a large number of vehicles and war horses, and he said that the airport in Tacheng could be used, and the personnel there had been notified to prepare for the landing of our transport plane!" ”

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli rubbed his hands excitedly, "Yuhe, let's go back to the house and talk!" With that, he strode into the house.

"Yuhe, give an order to Le Yiqin, the Southern Flying Group Saker Parachute Regiment, the transport plane will first land at Dihua Airport, and then, fly directly to the besieged position of the special operations detachment, and implement airborne landing on the periphery of the Soviet army's encirclement, attract the firepower of the Soviet army, and reduce the pressure on Chutian! To establish contact with the special operations detachment, the time of the airborne landing, they determined for themselves, and it was stated in the order that there was no need for the paratrooper regiment to open the gap and attract Soviet fire! Tang Qiuli said hurriedly.

After a pause, he said: "Send a telegram to Shanhu and Liu Cuigang, the 1st Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the North Road Reinforcement Force will land at Tacheng Airport, and then, take the vehicles and war horses provided by Sheng Shicai, and rush over by land at the fastest speed!" It probably won't take more than a day and a night, okay! ”

Zhao Yuhe was relieved, "Division commander, you are too worried, with the command ability of the commander of the Chutian detachment, the combat effectiveness of the special operations detachment and the individual soldiers, the Soviet army can't bargain!" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Yuhe, what you said is right, but the current situation is different, stick to the reinforcements, fight positional defensive battles, the special operations detachment is not good at it, there is still a lack of heavy equipment, and the ammunition is not abundant, Chu Tian is his own shortcomings, and he is good at the enemy!" ”

"Moreover, the commander of the Soviet army who surrounded the special operations detachment must be deploying troops, and we are competing for time with the Soviet army, so I am still very worried!" Tang Qiuli rubbed his swollen temples, and suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, Yuhe, is there any new movement for the Soviet army going south?" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "No, the uninterrupted air raids of the Northern Flying Group have caused great difficulties to the Soviet troops, their movements have been comprehensively restricted, and the speed of advance has been slow; this afternoon, in the airspace about 300 kilometers north of Saiyinshanda, our fighter formation has severely damaged the Soviet fighter group that rushed to escort the convoy, and according to the results reported by the Northern Flying Group, more than 170 Soviet fighters were shot down!" ”

"The troops on the left and right flanks have sent a telegram and have arrived at the designated position, waiting for the order of the division commander, and the commander of the cavalry unit Liu Chun, who is interspersed in the direction of Kulun, has called to report, interspersed with Shun lì, there is no encounter with the Soviet troops along the way, and in two more days, you can reach the periphery of Kulen!"

Tang Qiuli nodded silently, and suddenly said abruptly: "Yuhe, this big battle of Saiyin Shanda may not be able to fight!" ”
