Only then did Lin Yuan understand Adkins' trick, that is, to use the time with him to gather all the Chinese people in the city, and then agree to his request for traitors, so as to accumulate more time to get the people on the streets.

Lin Yuan thought to himself, "What is Adkins doing this? He has no reinforcements! There is no sign of the Russian reinforcements being mobilized, and it will take at least five days for the Russian troops from the other two routes to return to Kyakhta, does Adkins want to use these civilians to stop himself here for five days? ”

Lin Yuan then decided to go and see for himself, he got on the armored command car, came to the opposite bank from the erected bridge, and saw a group of people on the street into the city, all of them looked like Chinese, one by one sitting on the bench with a sad face, blocking the street solidly, now the weather is very cold, they are all wearing thick clothes, and some are wrapped in quilts.

Lin Yuan asked the commander beside him: "Can't the tank pass?" Why don't you let the infantry attack? ”

The commander said: "I was afraid that once we attacked, the Russians would be bad for the common people, so we stopped!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded lightly and said, "Very good, you should be cautious." ”

At this moment, I saw a bald and thin middle-aged man squeezed over behind the crowd, it was Adkins, I saw Adkins walk up to Lin Yuan with a look of shame, and said: "Lin Shuai, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to send you forage, but these ordinary people voluntarily blocked the road in order to prevent you from attacking, I really have no choice." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What an Adkins, he is cheap and well-behaved, you look at the appearance of these people, one by one, they are all worried, can they come voluntarily?" ”

Lin Yuan sneered: "You won't find a way to get them all away?" ”

Adkins said: "I can't help it, the people have a strong desire to defend their homes, and if I insist on getting them out of the way, won't it stir up public anger?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "If you don't let them go, then I'll let them go, okay?" ”

Adkins made a look of despair and said to Lin Yuan: "That's great, you can help me get them out of the way." ”

Lin Yuan walked up to the people and said to them: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Lin Yuan, I believe you have all heard of me, please get out of the way quickly, don't help the Russians." ”

To Lin Yuan's surprise, none of the people stood up, and Lin Yuan wondered in his heart: "Why are they willing to do things for the Russians?" Thinking of this, Lin Yuan walked up to an old man and asked, "Uncle, why don't you get out of the way?" ”

The old man sighed helplessly, and turned his head silently, Lin Yuan was even more confused, and then he took a closer look at the people who were sitting, and then he understood a little: it turned out that although these people were men, women, and children, they seemed to be very estranged and were not a family at all, that is, the Russians must be using their families as a threat!

Lin Yuan sneered at Adkins: "Adkins, do you think there is no way for you to let the people block the road?" I can get the troops to bypass these civilians and pass through the rooftops on both sides, don't you think? ”

Adkins said with a puzzled face: "If you attack, my troops will shoot, and it will be bad to cause casualties among the people at that time." ”

Of course, Lin Yuan understands that Adkins is using the lives of ordinary people as a threat! Lin Yuan thought about it in his heart and said, "Well, since that's the case, I won't attack it!" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he said to the commander: "Let the troops stand by near the bridge building field!" ”

Lin Yuan returned to the headquarters on the south bank of the Jiehe River, and Xiao Yingwu asked, "Lin Shuai, what should we do?" Don't attack? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Didn't the Russians just want to wait for their two reinforcements?" I'll just let them wait, and we'll blow up the place where their forage is concentrated, and I'll see what their cavalry will eat when they come back!" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "The Russians have a lot of forage, and the place of concentration must be particularly obvious on the aerial chart, we will be able to find it quickly, and then our self-propelled artillery units can make a move." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "No problem, this time we use cloud burst bombs, and a few of them can burn the entire forage concentration in the past." ”

Xiao Yingwu then went back to prepare, and half an hour later Xiao Yingwu came back and reported: "The self-propelled artillery unit has been prepared. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, when I give the order, I will open fire and completely blow up the Russian forage field." Lin Yuan thought of this, and went to find Adkins, Adkins still looked like he was cheap and obedient, Lin Yuan sneered: "Adkins, I'm here to officially inform you, you hurry up and let the people go home and give me the forage, otherwise." When Lin Yuan said this, he pointed his finger in the direction of the forage field and said, "Don't blame me for attacking your forage. ”

Adkins smiled: "Lin Shuai, look at what you said, it seems that these ordinary people were forced by me, they all came voluntarily, and they have nothing to do with me." ”

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "Toast and don't eat and drink, okay, Adkins, you just wait for me." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he ignored Adkins, turned around and walked back, Adkins was still deliberately angry with Lin Yuan in the back, and shouted loudly: "Lin Shuai, Lin Shuai, don't go, we can discuss it again." ”

Lin Yuan ignored him, he didn't want to be patient with the Russians anymore, he had already made up his mind, after blowing up the forage field, he immediately dispatched troops to encircle and annihilate the other two Russian cavalry, Lin Yuan returned to the command headquarters and immediately gave the order to open the artillery, and as soon as this order was given, the artillery detachment was ready to load the shells and fire.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's communicator suddenly received an urgent message, this news was like this: the Siberian cold snap was observed to move southward, which is expected to cause a significant cooling of the entire territory of Mongolia, and this cold snap is extremely intense, and it may bring Mongolia the coldest winter ever.

When Lin Yuan saw the news, he didn't need the signal soldier to convey the order, so he directly grabbed the microphone of the signal soldier and shouted to the front-line troops: "Stop the shelling, don't open fire, stop!" ”

At this time, the artillery was already in the chamber, and he was waiting for the order to fire, Lin Yuan's shout suddenly stopped, but everyone was puzzled, thinking: "Lin Shuai, what's wrong?" Why did you suddenly stop fighting. ”

Xiao Yingwu hurriedly ran over and asked Lin Yuan, "Lin Shuai, what happened?" Why don't you fight? ”

Lin Yuan handed over the communicator in his hand, showed him the message on it, and said, "See?" Mongolia is likely to have one of the coldest winters, and Mongolian herders fear the cold winter the most, because when the temperature is low in winter, livestock will freeze to death, especially if they have not grown up. ”

"Also, since it is a cold winter, a lot of snowfall is inevitable, and the food for the livestock in the winter is partly the hay in reserve, and the hay on the ground, and when it snows heavily, the snow covers the grass, and the cattle themselves cannot find anything to eat, how can they keep out the cold without something to eat? More animals are freezing to death, so we need to get all the forage back in front of us to prepare for the upcoming snowstorm! ”
