Hu Xiaoquan and his friends entered the country about 40 kilometers east of Xunke County. In the early morning of the same day, after crossing Heilongjiang, they only walked forward for about less than ten kilometers to stop.

At this time, their destination was behind Reichhinsk. Progles next to him naturally had other troops to encircle and suppress. Reichhinsk was not the headquarters of the Soviet Far East Military Region. Of course, it was impossible for someone to set up the headquarters on the border, because it was purely a fight.

As the first town of the Northern Army Group attacked the Soviet Union, Reichxinsk was particularly important. Capturing here was equivalent to capturing Progslei, which could directly threaten Zavidingsk.

Those who are brave enough to be scared to death. This time, the combat mission of the North Army Group can also be said to be able to scare people to death. Li Chengxuan's First Army was deployed in the middle, and further west was the Fifth Army, and the most relied on the west. They were responsible for attacking from the Daxinganling area and directly attacking the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

They could not stop until they saw the sea, and when they stopped, the area east of a line between the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Okhotsk Sea was completely occupied by the North Army Group.

This area is about half the size of the northeast, but it is very easy to occupy them, because there are no people here, and it is impossible to see a figure for dozens of kilometers.

This is mainly related to the Soviet Union's policy of Europe and Asia first, West and then East. As long as there is a little financial resources, people basically move to the west to live, and no matter how poor they are, they will settle in those county towns. Anyway, the place is very large and there are very few people, so no one wants to live alone in a place with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

"His grandma's. How could this Russian Russian run so far?"

Hu Xiaoquan gasped heavily, looking at the deserted town, and couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, please inform the troops behind quickly and tell them not to run so fast."

The company commander also cursed inwardly, running dozens of kilometers away from exhaustion. After running, he found that the Soviets had run away, and there were no people in a small town. It was probably that they all followed the Soviet army.

At this time, except for these buildings and footprints on the ground, we can see that this place used to be a living area, there is no vitality at all.

No. According to the Soviets' character of treating land as life, we shouldn't give up this small town? And I heard that the Soviets were very scary. Their soldiers did not dare to retreat when fighting, let alone escape without a shot.

This can also be clearly seen in the Battle of Nomenkan in the previous years. Moreover, the current Soviet Red Army is more powerful than before, so there is no reason for them to escape.

Hu Xiaoquan couldn't help but secretly inquired about the empty city in front of him. Suddenly, a detail made him discover the secret.

The Soviet army was not fleeing at all, and this was simply a conspiracy. Only in this way can it be explained why they retreated.

"There are Soviet troops in the room."

Looking at his companion who wanted to enter the town, Hu Xiaoquan didn't have time to negotiate with the superior and shouted loudly.

Hu Xiaoquan's words made everyone stunned. He couldn't help but feel excited. Regardless of whether Hu Xiaoquan's words were true or false, those who were not familiar with foreign land, should always be vigilant even without Hu Xiaoquan's reminder. Otherwise, they would not know when it would be their turn to die.

"Hu Xiaoquan, what's going on?"

Company commander Feng Sixi took the telescope and looked in for a long time. He found nothing and couldn't help but get angry secretly. If Hu Xiaoquan continued to do this, he would sooner or later ask him to bomb the camp.

"Company Commander, there are really Soviet troops in the room. I just saw that the window was pushed open and saw something that looked like a gun barrel exposed. I am not sure what it is. Looking at this small town, the traces of the large army passing by here are still very obvious. From the messy footprints, it can be judged that the enemy should have retreated without order.

There was nothing at all, but the window of the room was pushed open and closed quickly. It seemed to be observing our movements and found that we had not entered the city, so we hid."

Hu Xiaoquan pointed to the room where he discovered something abnormal just now and analyzed.

Although Hu Xiaoquan's analysis was reasonable and his ideas were clear, even Hu Xiaoquan did not notice that he was completely different from before. Even the company commander Feng Sixi, who was familiar with him, was not sure that he was the previous Hu Xiaoquan.

In fact, Hu Xiaoquan is very afraid of death, so he is very careful everywhere. After discovering the abnormality, his mind is very calm and he can quickly and carefully analyze the truth.

"Are you sure?"

Feng Sixi looked at Hu Xiaoquan again and asked.

"I'm sure someone is watching us in the room."

Hu Xiaoquan was also a little confused by Feng Sixi. He was a little confused whether this was a conspiracy. So when Feng Sixi asked him for the second time, Hu Xiaoquan had to change his statement and only said that he was sure that someone was observing them in the room.

It doesn't matter whether the people in the house are observing them. What matters is whether there are people in the house. As long as there are people, then Hu Xiaoquan can't say it too much.

Seeing Hu Xiaoquan so sure, Feng Sixi didn't dare to be careless. After all, this was a hundred people. If he was really ambushed, he would be fucked. However, the follow-up troops would take about ten minutes to come. They must understand the situation here before the follow-up troops arrived.

Feng Sixi was leaving at this moment, nor was he stopping. If the marching speed of the large army was delayed, it would be no trivial to blame him.

"Sniper, try it."

In desperation, Feng Sixi could only call a sniper and asked him to test whether there was really someone in the room. If there was no one, he could only order the troops to advance. He could not waste too much time here.

"The third window on the right is the one that window just now has an abnormality."

Hu Xiaoquan was lying beside the sniper in white clothes, pointing at the window that was abnormal just now.

I have to mention that this white dress was really good in the Soviet Union, and it was white and integrated with the environment here. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t find that they are humans at all, let alone air reconnaissance. As long as the people below don’t move, it will be even more difficult to find them.

However, the Soviet army was still wearing the clothes they used to wear. It was the Soviet Union, which was short of supplies. How could there be extra fabric to make snow clothes?

‘Bang!’

A bullet accurately hit the window that Hu Xiaoquan pointed to. Through the scope, the sniper clearly saw the wood chips flying on the window, and the bullet probably did not enter the house.

After one blow, the house did not react at all, and the other houses were the same. There was no abnormality at all, and it was completely like no one was there.

Feng Sixi frowned. Hu Xiaoquan was sure that there was someone in the house, but the sniper was so quiet after testing. Logically, this should mean that it was normal. But because it was too quiet, Feng Sixi felt a little strange.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Hu Xiaoquan was misleading. Perhaps there was no one in the house, but Feng Sixi did not dare to take risks. He decided to give some more information to test it out so that the troops would not be allowed to enter the enemy's encirclement later.

"Mortar. Give that room two shells."

Feng Sixi ordered again.

Immediately, the mortarist quickly took out the cannon and base, assembled them together in a few strokes. He quickly adjusted the angle and visually measured the distance. It took only half a minute after doing everything.

‘Swoosh!’

'boom!'

The shells were hit in a crooked manner because the distance was a bit far away. In addition to the climate, the mortar did not hit the target directly. After a round of test shots, the mortars slightly adjusted the lower angle according to the situation just now, and then picked up a shell and stuffed it directly into the barrel.

‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’

This time, the mortar shell fell into the house accurately, but unexpectedly, the shell directly smashed through the wooden roof and entered the second floor building inside the house. What was even more surprising was that three explosions came from the house.

What does this mean? Feng Sixi doesn’t need to think too much about what this means, and even the new recruits who have just joined the army know what the situation is.

"Everyone is ready to fight, the mortars are ready, and ready to move forward at any time. The radio station calls the battalion commander to speed them up."

Feng Sixi calmly issued a combat mission and at the same time stepped up the call for reinforcements.

The explosion just now had already exposed the whereabouts of the Soviet army. Feng Sixi was not so stupid that he thought that the three explosions were all from mortars. Only the first one came from the mortars. The remaining two were likely to be grenades that were killed.

"Good boy, you made a contribution before the battle began. When the battle ended, I went to the ranks to ask for me."

Feng Sixi patted Hu Xiaoquan on the shoulder and praised with relief.

At this time, Hu Xiaoquan was not excited to make contributions at all. It doesn’t matter whether he made contributions or not. What he feared the most was death, but he was such a person who was so entangled. Although he was afraid of death, he dared to die. His fear of death was mainly manifested in his caution before and during the war. Not afraid of death was that he had already prepared for his capture.

Hearing the company commander's words saying he wanted to ask for his merits, Hu Xiaoquan just smiled and nodded. His main energy was still on the rifle in his hand, constantly controlling the rifle in his hand to prevent being frozen in this cold winter and to ensure that the battle later could proceed normally.

Hu Xiaoquan followed the squad leader and swaggered directly to the town. Because the distance was far, the bowing did not work, and instead wasted a lot of their physical strength. Now they only have one company of troops here, so squad and platoon combat became the main way of combat.

Fortunately, the division of labor of the mortars had been clear before. Each of the four mortars was responsible for fire support in a certain area, and the machine guns were also set up not far away. As long as the enemy dared to show their heads, they would send a row of bullets without hesitation.

‘Ba!Ba!’

When the troops were approaching a certain distance, sporadic gunshots finally came from the houses in the town. The Soviet army obviously did not dare to let the soldiers of the Chinese Empire approach again, but they did not have the advantage no matter how they fought in this battle, so they could only choose to bite the bullet and resist.

In fact, there are not many Soviet soldiers hidden in the town, with more than a thousand people, but they only have more than two hundred rifles, and they are old single-shot rifles. Many soldiers can only stare at the soldier holding the gun, watching when he will die, and then promise to pick up the gun as soon as possible.

But this is an asymmetric war after all. The soldiers who are slowly approaching do not need to be too serious at all. Even after discovering the enemy, they can shoot without aiming.
