Age of Rebirth

Colonel Chen Feng, director of the communications department of the Independent Division, stopped in surprise when he heard the teacher's shout, and still asked respectfully, "Master, do you have any additional orders?"

Tang Qiuli hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Chen, order the special warfare detachment to send seven teams to infiltrate the Ural Mountains, near the seven roads that the Soviet army must pass, to indicate the bombing targets for the bomber units. In addition, to Chutian's In the order, add this content, the bomber unit completely obeys the command of Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment!"

He pondered for a while, "I especially emphasize that the sabotage operations of the special warfare detachment should first be based on the principle of self-preservation, and the results cannot be forced. If there are insufficient troops, some attack targets can be selectively given up. The division pointed out that I don't want to see the special warfare detachment appear Too many casualties, that's all!" Tang Qiuli's voice sank.

If it weren't for General Vasilevsky, the commander of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, with the move to open a new channel in the Ural Mountains, there would be no need to send bombers to carry out night bombing. In five days, no one could guarantee that the special operations team that directed the bomber to the target would get into the belly of the Soviet army and get back after completing the mission.

Originally, the strength of the special warfare detachment was insufficient. More than 2000 people went deep into the Soviet Union to attack more than 100 Soviet field airfields at the same time. A small group stretched Chu Tian's troops even further, so Tang Qiuli's order included selective attacks.

At night, the heavy snowflakes flying all over the sky tended to increase, and the whistling north wind rolled up the sky full of snowflakes.The land west of the Ural Mountains was shrouded in white chaos.

All the roads, rivers, mountains, and trees are covered by thick snow. In this weather, there is no moving object in the wind howling and the vast snow field. The heavy snow that fell made the night oppressive.

More than [-] kilometers southwest of Yekaterinburg is the remnant of the Ural Mountains.The peaks are not high, but they are continuous. On the peaks, there are tall and dense larch and clumps of shrubs.A road covered with heavy snow winds from the mountains to the distance.

Behind a cliff.A tangle of twigs covered by thick snow.Suddenly separated from the middle, a telescope stretched out from between the branches. After carefully observing the outside situation, the branches returned to their original state, and soon, there were dense snowflakes.All of this was restored to its original state.

A few hundred meters away, a well-disguised opening, even in clear weather.When you get close, if you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find this narrow hole. If you drill into the cave, you will find that the inside is very spacious. The special warfare detachment led by Chutian is directly under the sub-unit, and it is hidden in the cave.

"Detachment leader, you can't see anything outside. The visibility is less than 20 meters. In this weather, those patrols of old men can't come out at all!" A lieutenant wearing a snow combat uniform shook off the snowflakes on his body. , said to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's eyebrows twitched unconsciously, and he ignored the lieutenant, but asked Qi Hanzhi, the chief of staff of the detachment beside him, "Hanzhi, did you find anything unusual at the three lurking posts?"

Qi Hanzhi shook his head and replied: "5 minutes ago, I contacted them. In the evening, there was a Soviet convoy passing by on the mountain road. After the snow became heavier, I never saw a single vehicle. The detachment Long, the Soviet army is not stupid, in this kind of weather, driving on snowy roads in the mountains at night is almost like looking for death, just so, let’s take this opportunity to rest here for the night.”

Chutian didn't speak, and seemed a little restless. Since the special warfare detachment entered the west of the Ural Mountains and the territory of the Soviet Union, the entire detachment has been divided into more than 100 groups, scattered within a radius of nearly a thousand kilometers. The farthest group has penetrated into the Soviet Union. To the vicinity of Kirov in the Soviet Union, more than 400 kilometers away from his current location, he focused on a large airport of the Soviet army.

Fortunately, so far, none of the teams have exposed their targets, nor have they alerted the Soviet army. However, Chu Tian was very dissatisfied with himself. All the members of the special warfare detachment were dispatched. In more than a month, they did not provide the division headquarters with any information. The only piece of valuable information that can be obtained is the location of the various field airports of the Soviet army.

Three days ago, Chu Tian brought his team closer to Yekaterinburg, intending to live a valuable life and find out the specific deployment of the Soviet army. However, when they got here, they could no longer move forward. I don’t know what it was The reason is that the Soviet army suddenly began to tightly seal the surrounding areas of Yekaterinburg, and the patrols were so dense that there was almost no interval. On the road below the mountain, the Soviet army convoy never stopped from morning to night, and did not stop until nightfall.

Chu Tian intuitively felt that the Soviet army might have a large-scale operation, which made him even more anxious. If he could find out the exact time for the Soviet army to start attacking in advance, the division commander would be able to prepare in advance, which would be much more beneficial to the troops. However, this damn heavy snow destroyed his plan, and it was obviously impossible to sneak into Yekaterinburg to grab his tongue.

However, I really have to be grateful for the heavy snow. Just three hours ago, a Soviet patrol team had already touched a place less than one kilometer away from the entrance of the cave. When they came back, because of the heavy wind and snow, the Soviet patrol team turned around. Go down the mountain, otherwise, Chu Tian and more than [-] special forces members might be blocked by the Soviet army in this cave.

There is no problem at all in killing this Soviet patrol team of more than 30 people, and there is no need to fire a single shot. However, the disappearance of a patrol team out of thin air is bound to arouse the vigilance of the Soviet army. Chutian was not arrogant enough to search the mountains on a large scale. In the belly of millions of Soviet troops, he was unscathed and came and went freely.

The military situation is urgent, and the division commander urgently needs to know the specific attack time of the Soviet army, but now, he can't do anything, Chu Tian looks very anxious, wandering around in the cave, like a hungry wolf in a cage, " Hanzhi, is there any movement at the Soviet military airport?" He suddenly stopped and asked.

Qi Hanzhi replied: "Xiao Liu and his team are watching over there. The situation is normal. In heavy snow, the planes of the Soviet army are all honestly lying on the airport! Don't worry, even the Soviet pilots will come out to urinate a few times. , we all know!"

Chu Tian didn't say yes or no, Qi Hanzhi was about to persuade him to rest for a while, at this moment, the telegraph operator hurried over, "Report to the detachment leader, the teacher pointed out an urgent call!"

Chu Tian snatched the telegram and quickly browsed through it. The solemn expression on his face did not relax at all.

Qi Hanzhi asked: "Detachment Captain, what order does the teacher have?"

Chu Tian said in a low tone: "The division commander ordered us to start attacking the Soviet army's field airport at night on the [-]th, and we need to send seven three-person teams to sneak into the Soviet army's security circle to bomb the Ural Mountains for the bomber troops. Passage, indicating the target, Hijaz, who are the groups closest to the Ural Mountains?"

Qi Hanzhi quickly replied: "It's teams No.11 to No.17. Among them, teams No.11 and [-] are lurking near the original two roads in the Ural Mountains!"

Chu Tian thought for a while, and said, "Hanjaz, immediately give the No. 11 and [-] teams an order to give up the task of attacking the Soviet army's field airfield, and instead indicate the bombing target for the bomber unit. Before eight o'clock in the day and night, enter the position!"

Qi Hanzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Detachment leader, it's no problem to indicate the bombing targets for the two original roads, but the five new roads opened up by the Soviet army are the farthest, with an interval of more than [-] kilometers. A team could not reach the target on time, should we explain the specific difficulties to the division commander, and postpone the bombing time to the night of the tenth, so that we can be more confident!"

Chu Tian's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Hanzhi, you are also an old team member. Just because of a heavy snowfall, the division headquarters changed the original bombing plan. Thank you for being able to speak out and tell the two teams. Team leader, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they must follow the orders of the detachment and arrive at the target on time, if they fail to do this, they are not worthy of being soldiers of the special warfare detachment!"

Qi Hanzhi's face was a little red. After recording Chutian's order, he handed it to the operator. Looking at Chutian who was frowning, he was embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say.

Chu Tian thought for a while, and said to Hanzhi, "Hanzhi, the time for the raid on the Soviet Army's field airfield is set at [-]:[-] on the night of the [-]th, and all teams will act in unison. For the Lord, issue this instruction along with the order. It would be better if the Soviet planes can be killed. Before the action, all groups should stop their activities, so as not to startle the enemy!"

"Send a telegram to Meng Qingpeng, Commander of the Outer Mongolia Patrol Area, and the bomber unit will start bombing the target at [-] o'clock in the evening on the [-]th, that is, our raid on the Soviet airfield. One hour after the start, let Commander Meng follow this time. Watch, arrange the action time of the air force, and send the ground-air contact code!"

Qi Hanzhi walked into the depths of the cave and gave orders to the various teams. Chu Tian walked to the entrance of the cave alone, looking at the snowflakes flying outside and the white night sky, he was not at ease.

Each team, with only 25 members, was going to attack the heavily guarded Soviet airfield. This was a battle of disparity in strength. Even if the task was completed, the airport would be bombed in the hinterland of millions of Soviet troops. It was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Whether each group could withdraw safely was a question that was difficult to guarantee. If not, more than 20 people were trapped in the siege of the Soviet army.

Chu Tian let out a deep breath secretly. The cold snowflakes fell on his face, making his hot head clear. How to complete the task with the least cost is a problem he must consider.
