"Eagle Eye 1 reported that no trace of the Soviet Red Army was found north of Almetyevsk, and the logistics and transportation of Almetyevsk in Chernizainsk on the Kama River are all normal!"

"Eagle Eye 2 reported that there was no trace of the ground troops of the Soviet Russian Red Army on the front line of Ufas Terlitamak Salavat Mereuz Kumertau"

"Eagle Eye 3 reported that no trace of the Soviet Red Army was found along the line from Samara to Bavly."

"Sun Liangcheng sent a telegram that one of their armored regiments has occupied Meresk and captured the ferry across Simbirsk!"

"Jiang Hongyu sent a telegram that the [-]nd Ural Cavalry Division has occupied Nurrat, and an armored regiment of the [-]nd Mixed Armored Brigade of the [-]st Armored Division has occupied Bavley, and his headquarters and the rest of the armored brigade have arrived Brigoma, waiting for instructions on the next move."

"Li Mingzhong sent a telegram that the [-]rd Brigade of the Ural [-]rd Cavalry Division took Neftegorsk, the [-]st Regiment of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade stayed in Buzuluk, and the [-]nd Regiment stayed in Sorochinsk. The mixed cavalry brigade of the first division is still on standby in Orenburg, and the fourth cavalry regiment of the fourth Japanese division is stationed on the front line of Kumertau."

"Xiong-style Huibu telegram, after the Japanese Seventh Cavalry Regiment searching westward blocked the two divisions of the Fifth Army's breakout last night, no other enemies were found. Now the 13th Infantry Brigade stays in Almedeyevsk to Afghanistan Znakayevo is on standby, the main force of Xiong Shihui's 60th Mixed Brigade is still on standby in Almedeyevsk, and the 180th Infantry Regiment has occupied Brigoma."

Wang Geng listened to the military intelligence report of Tian Jun, the chief of staff of the war room, and sat with Utsunomiya Taro and had a Russian breakfast. The main force of the Soviet Red Army retreated from the original station overnight and disappeared without a trace, except In addition to the Fifth Army being captured and wiped out, the cavalry army chasing on the Eastern Front only cut off the rear guard of the opponent's two and a half divisions. The cavalry division, the three and a half divisions of the second and fourth armies, the six infantry divisions of the third army plus one cavalry division, a whole 15 troops disappeared under the cover of night?

"Your Excellency, Commander, what is so delicious about this Russian caviar? I think it is far less delicious than the fish flakes shaved from our Japanese katsuobushi!" Utsunomiya Taro was anxious just now with a pale face and was a little anxious that the Soviet Russian Red Army lost However, Wang Geng on the opposite side paid no attention to the food on the plate, so he had to suppress the anxiety in his heart and tell Wang Geng about the fish in his hometown.

"Your Excellency Taro, I think you are unwilling to eat, well, let's get down to business after we finish eating, Major General Tian Jun, would you like some Russian caviar too?" Wang Geng sent the last piece of bread coated with butter and caviar into the He put it in his mouth, and while eating with relish, he didn't forget to ask his chief staff officer in the war room.

Hata Toshi is actually as anxious as Utsunomiya Taro in his heart. The main force of Soviet Russia cannot disappear without a trace overnight. There are many rivers and swamps in the Ufa Great Plain. It is impossible to escape. It's so easy, but after a morning's empty search, they didn't find any trace of the enemy's main force. Besides, the sun was already above their heads. How could this guy have the heart to have breakfast with the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces at this moment.

Wang Geng finished his coffee and wiped his mouth with a napkin. Taro Utsunomiya had finished eating for a long time. The positions of the coalition forces were marked last night and this morning, and the places where the Soviet Russian Red Army was stationed, except for October Town, have now been marked with blue coalition force signs.

"Didn't the four infantry divisions of the Ufa First Army catch the enemy?" Wang Geng looked thoughtfully at the four small flags representing the two White Guard infantry divisions 4 kilometers north and south of Milner.

At this time, the three Russian infantry divisions of Wu Peifu's First Siberian Army were on the front lines of Milna and Acehkovo, while the two brigades of Sergey's cavalry division were 30 kilometers north and south of Acehkovo, and Petrovich's cavalry division Then one regiment each joined the infantry division of the First Ufa Army, and Petrovich's own first cavalry brigade camped 20 kilometers west of Milna.

At this moment, the coalition forces stretched out countless hands and feet like a centipede on both sides of the 150-kilometer road from Acehkovo to Bavley, but the nearly 15 main force of the Soviet Red Army slipped out of the big centipede of the coalition army in one night. The perception range of the paw!

"Did not catch the enemy. The four divisions of the Ufa First Army encountered Sergey's cavalry brigade and Petrovich's cavalry regiment successively along the way at night, and almost caused a misunderstanding. Neither side caught the enemy. Milner Three kilometers north of the main road in Acehkovo, there is a huge swamp area with a radius of at least twenty kilometers.

Several troops almost got stuck in the dark last night. The rest of the Soviet Russian division that was ambushing Petrovich must have jumped into the swamp. Maybe the political commissar of the First Army Yanko who escaped in Acehkovo Fugayi's remaining less than one regiment also rushed into the swamp. "Tian Jun replied.

"The main force of the enemy will not run into the swamp. I estimate that most of the enemy's retreat direction is to run south first, and then turn west. Maybe we underestimated the speed of the enemy's night march. They must have already run south when they left the main road. It's 30 kilometers away, maybe 60 kilometers away!" Wang Geng frowned.

"Send another team of dh4 reconnaissance bombers to join the air reconnaissance. Now that the sun is out and the morning fog has cleared, the effect of air reconnaissance should be much better. Ask them to fly as low as possible to search for traces of ground troops retreating. In addition, Pai Han Delipeti V1500 airborne three reconnaissance teams to 120 kilometers south of Milna and Bavley to start a ground search to the north!" Wang Geng quickly made a decision.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the ground forces of the coalition forces have been resting all morning. Can we ask them to launch a search and pursuit? It is impossible for 10,000+ ground roads to leave no traces!" Utsunomiya Taro suggested from the side.

"You can ask the various ministries to send out reconnaissance troops to follow the traces of the enemy's retreat, and then let the other main forces rest for two hours. The Second Regiment transported food, ammunition, and fuel from Ufa to Milna and Bavly. On the return journey, the lightly and severely wounded captured by the Soviet Union were first transported back to Ufa for treatment, and the trains had to be transported from Chelyabinsk to Ufa. food and ammunition, and transport the prisoners back to the prisoner-of-war camp in Chelyabinsk." Wang Geng ordered.

"By the way, let the DH4 reconnaissance plane focus on reconnaissance of the swampy area north of Milner. It is still possible to hide thousands of people in a large area. Maybe they can catch the political commissars of the two opposing armies and fire on the ground if necessary. Reconnaissance, sweep the woods and meadows and throw a bomb to see if you can bluff the opponent out of hiding!"

"Also, the reconnaissance troops of the two cavalry divisions sent out to me in the company as a unit to the north and south. The Hawkeye pre-warning aircraft focused on detecting the radio signals on the ground. Now that the sun is rising, with the morning fog Disperse, I believe that traces of the Soviet Red Army will be found soon!" Wang Geng said confidently.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the logistical capacity is so tight now, why are we in such a hurry to transport Soviet prisoners of war back to Ufa and send them to Chelyabinsk?" Utsunomiya Taro counted with his fingers, after five days of fighting , the coalition forces captured 9000 people from the Fourth Army during the defense of Ufa, then Jiang Hongyu captured 23000 people from the Ekh Department of the Fifth Army in the southeast of Chistopol, and then Rzhev from Chernigovka The 30000 people of the Slovakia Department laid down their weapons and became prisoners.

Last night, Jiang Hongyu's troops finally wiped out the South Route Army of the Fifth Army after several twists and turns, and captured more than 27000 people in Sla, while Petrovich's Second Cavalry Army wiped out two and a half divisions of the opponent, and captured more than 14000 people. After adding up, the coalition forces in Ufa have captured more than 10 people from the other side, and more than half of them are lightly or severely wounded.

"Your Excellency Taro, the Ufa Great Plain is now a war zone. Evacuating the prisoners to the east of the Ural Mountains as soon as possible can avoid future instabilities, stop the prisoners from wanting to move around, and at the same time ease the flow of prisoners from the east of the Ural Mountains. The logistical pressure of transporting food here, the prisoners of war also have to eat, the food consumption of feeding so many mouths is not a small number, not to mention there are 15 retreating Soviet Russian Red Army waiting to enter our prisoner of war camp!" Wang Geng said with a smile .
