The Soviet army? How could they appear here? Li Peng said in a secret surprise, but thinking of the geographical location of Siliujiangka, Li Peng quickly guessed their intentions. If the Soviet army was really below, the situation would be a bit bad.

"Captain, do you see if the Soviet army is below?"

Li Peng reported to the regiment commander through the communicator that the Air Force was organized by squadrons, squadrons, brigades, and then the flight regiment, flight brigades, and this time Li Peng and his entire regiment would pass by here.

After hearing Li Peng's call, Tao Chi also looked down at the situation on the ground, but because the distance was too far, no abnormality was found. However, since Li Peng discovered the abnormality, it was definitely not a report. Tao Chi took out his telescope and pointed it at the following observation.

There is no way, it is impossible to rashly lower the altitude of the fighter jet. Not to mention that it will affect the flight of the entire formation, it will also bring some potential dangers to himself. So in this case, he can only see the following situation through a telescope.

At the beginning, Tao Chi didn't notice anything abnormal, but as the fighter plane moved, a trace of abnormality suddenly appeared on the ground that was originally hidden well. A large number of people were moving, but they were moving under the tree, obviously to avoid being discovered by the Air Force.

It was indeed the Soviet army. Tao Chi secretly affirmed in his heart that Siliujiangka was located at the southwest end of Lake Baikal and was the only place to connect with Irkutsk and the rear. In addition to the accident of Lake Baikal, the land distance is closest. It can be said that once Siliujiangka is occupied by the Soviet army, the supplies of the First Army are likely to be cut off.

Of course, it is not completely cut off. Instead, the line of Siliujiangka was cut off. Even without this line, they could transport it through Lake Baikal or the northern section of Lake Baikal. However, this would be a waste of time. The fastest one was to transport it by water, but loading and unloading ships. In addition, Lake Baikal was an inland lake, so there were no large-tonnage transport ships at all, and the transportation volume was really limited.

If you pass through the northern section of Baikal, you have to walk one or two thousand kilometers more. You should know what it means in the current road environment? In other words, the materials that could have been transported in one day now take at least six or seven days, or more.

"Tower Tower. I am the Tenth Air Regiment. When our troops passed over Siliujiangka, they found Soviet infantry appearing in the southwest of Siliujiangka. Please ask the ground troops to go over and reconnaise the specific number of enemy troops."

Tao Chi contacted the ground tower via radio station.

Although he could also contact Siliujiangka's garrison directly, it was too troublesome. He needed to first find Siliujiangka's communication channel from the password book. Then he changed the communicator to the channel before contacting, which would waste more time.

Besides, this would also distract him, and it would be more than worth the loss. Instead of doing so, it would be better to report the situation here directly to the tower and then contact the garrison of Siliujiangka. This would be very convenient for him. Moreover, the tower on Siliujiangka has also been contacted more often.

On weekdays, people who call air support usually call the tower on the ground, and the tower is giving orders to the fighter jets. Of course, there are exceptions. If there were fighter jets on the same channel as the ground and their calls were heard by the fighter jets, the fighter jets would directly support them.

But this situation is rare, only ground forces deliberately join the Air Force fighter channel to facilitate call support during wartime. There has basically never happened to the Air Force join the ground channel.

"The tower has been received, the tenth empty regiment, your headquarters will continue to carry out the mission, and we are responsible for the ground troops!"

Soon, a reply came from the tower.

As Tao Chi imagined, this situation should be managed by the tower. As a pilot, he has his own mission and it is impossible to get into everything by himself. If that happens, will this mission still be done?

After responding to the tower, Tao Chi no longer paid attention to the situation on the ground. Anyway, the ground troops will send a reconnaissance force to see the situation later. It would be impossible for him to stay here and stay still. Besides, he has his own mission. The Soviet Red Army there is still waiting to eat shells. What if he is too late to send him off and is angry?

Jinxi, North Army Group Command.

"Commander, the Air Force just discovered the Soviet army's shadow when passing by Siliujiangka. Siliujiangka had just sent scouts to inquire about the news, and there would probably be accurate news soon."

After receiving the news from the Air Force, the communications officer immediately spread the battle report to Liu Ling's ears.

Hearing the latest situation, Liu Ling hurriedly lay on the map and stared at it with wide eyes. After repeated, Liu Ling slapped the table suddenly and suddenly shouted: "This is right."

Looking at Liu Ling's abnormality, the other people in the headquarters were also very depressed, especially the communications staff. They were around you, but you actually said that this was right? Others were surprised that they didn't know what was going on, but if they told them the facts, many people would probably be depressed.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ling took out a red pencil and quickly drew a few arrows on the map. Then he felt a little unsatisfied. After drawing a few more arrows, he nodded with satisfaction.

The communications consultant was surprised. Looking at the map processed by Liu Ling, he couldn't believe that it would be true. However, the information on the front line was transmitted from him, so he naturally knew what the arrows Liu Ling drew meant?

If these information is dispersed, it may be nothing, but once they are connected and marked on the map, the Soviet army's combat intentions will be leaked out at once.

Yes, the communications consultant is so busy on weekdays that he has no time to study tactics and other things. His daily job is to organize intelligence, receive telegrams, etc., and he has no time to think about anything else.

But even such a person who doesn't know much about tactics can see the Soviet army's intentions on this map at a glance, let alone others. However, after understanding the Soviet army's intentions, the communications staff member was depressed again. Could it be that it was so easy to crack the Soviet army's intentions?

The Air Force was Soviet reinforcements discovered in Jima, and the current main areas of the battlefield are Cheremhovo, Sversk, Usolye, Angelsk and Irkutsk in Siberia. Both sides are surrounded by valleys, which is not conducive to large-scale corps combat.

Although there are about a few dozen kilometers of plains between the valleys. However, for large-scale corps combat, it is enough to use this terrain to surround the enemy. Zhukov was originally a Soviet and had stayed in the Far East. The Soviet combat map was more detailed than their map.

So Liu Ling had no reason not to believe that Zhukov would not know the danger of letting the troops enter here, and he still sent troops to enter here despite the danger, obviously he was ready.

At the beginning, other Soviet troops were discovered in Jima, which seemed to confirm Liu Ling's speculation. Zhukov had indeed planned it. The surrounded Soviet troops can be said to be bait, or it can be said to be a wonderful game of the Soviet troops' last Jedi counterattack. As for whether it can play its role, it can only depend on the survival ability of the surrounding Soviet troops.

The second clue found was Siliujiangka, where the Soviet troops appeared here. The intention was very obvious. They wanted to cut off the retreat of the First Army and then defend Siliujiangka, while working inside and outside to quickly implement anti-encirclement tactics on the First Army.

Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help but doubt his guess. Is it so easy to counter-encircle an army of more than 800,000 people? More than 800,000 people could surround the Soviet army's troops and make him unable to move. Even if the Soviet army is increasing its strength by one million, it may not be able to successfully implement counter-encircle.

Is it even more impossible to just rescue the trapped Soviet army? Zhukov's previous intention was to let this group of trapped Soviet army be bait, so how could he throw out the bait and then save them at a greater cost of casualties?

So Zhukov now has only one way to go, either to see the nearly one million Soviet Red Army he used as bait, which was annihilated by him, or to invest all its troops to fight Liu Ling in a decisive battle.

Liu Ling gradually began to believe that Zhukov wanted to have a decisive battle with him, because Zhukov did not have any advantage in terms of military strength, and his weapons and equipment did not have any advantage. If he fought a war of attrition, although it was not good for the Northern Army Group, it was even more so for the Soviet army. They did not have enough food and enough weapons and ammunition.

So the quick battle and decisive decision seemed to be Zhukov's idea, and Zhukov seemed very smart, knowing that he was not a match for the Northern Army Group, so he took a detour and invested all his troops to annihilate, or defeated an army of the Northern Army Group.

It doesn't matter whether Zhukov can defeat the North Army Group, because even fools know that this amount of troops cannot defeat them. The main purpose of the Soviet Union now is to slash the offensive spirit of the North Army Group. If the First Army is crippled or annihilated, it will undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue for the North Army Group.

In this case, even if Zhukov's mission was completed, Liu Ling seemed to have guessed something. According to Zhukov's style of conduct, he would definitely not be so rash. I believe Stalin must have played a very important role in this battle, otherwise Zhukov would never have fought such a desperate battle.

"Order the Air Force to conduct uninterrupted reconnaissance in this area for 24 hours, and at the same time, order the troops in this area to send reconnaissance soldiers to detect the situation nearby to see if there are any Soviet troops infiltrating."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ling drew a big circle on the map.

For him, this area will be a dangerous area. Once a large number of Soviet troops are found here, it will be confirmed for so long. If not, his ideas will be overturned in the short term. Now Liu Ling hopes that there will be Soviet troops in this area, because in this way, he only needs to be tired for a while and then enjoy a few months of wonderful time.

If Zhukov's combat intentions were as expected, then after this battle, the Soviet Union would completely lose control of the Far East, and it would not be possible to send new troops here to fight in the short term.

More importantly, if everything is as expected, after this battle, the Soviet Union will be severely damaged and will not recover within a few years.

At that time, they can take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the land they have occupied, and continue to increase the strength of the North Army Group. At the same time, they are ready to continue to advance westward. There are many options for them to choose. On the one hand, the Soviet Union had to deal with Germany's attack, and on the other hand, they had to consider the security of the east and fight on both sides. Although Germany also fought on both sides, the Soviet Union must be the first to collapse.
