After three consecutive days of emergency marching, Hu Yunfeng and his team were only more than 60 kilometers away from Barnaul. But Hu Yunfeng was puzzled that the troops marched surprisingly smoothly and did not encounter any Soviet troops. Moreover, for three days, Hu Yunfeng sent Gao Ning to lead the Snow Leopard Commando snipers to ambush behind the troops, waiting for the Soviet reconnaissance forces. But three days later, Gao Ning and other snipers did not see any Soviet people at all.

The troops walked a few kilometers further toward Barnaul and were about to leave the forest. Hu Yunfeng rode on his horse and wondered whether the Soviets had given up their encirclement and suppression of him and the troops. He had just flashed this idea and immediately smiled mockingly. Even he would not believe this idea himself...

The Soviet army led by Colonel Belfshka to encircle him. Although it was severely damaged, the remaining number of them was twice that of the special forces and the Snow Leopard Commando. When they were severely damaged that day, Colonel Belfshka also sent a reconnaissance force to track it. It is logical that the Soviets had no reason to give up chasing them. Hu Yunfeng had difficulty in determining what the Soviets wanted to do. Seeing that it was almost dark, he ordered the troops to stop advancing and find a camp.

"Jeddah." Hu Yunfeng called out Jeddah after giving the order.

Jeddah understood what Hu Yunfeng wanted him to do. In the past few days, because he wanted to get rid of the remaining Soviet army of Colonel Belfshka, his troops marched rapidly and could not always stop and receive telegrams from the Soviet army. During the first day of the march, Jeddah wanted to receive telegrams from the commander of the Siberian Front to Colonel Belfshka several times according to the time specified by the Soviet army, but he did not receive them. Hu Yunfeng no longer regarded Colonel Belfshka's remaining troops as a major threat. Therefore, neither Jeddah nor Hu Yunfeng deliberately received telegrams from the Soviet army in the following two days.

The extraordinary success these days made Hu Yunfeng feel uncomfortable. Hu Yunfeng then wanted to use the Soviet army's telegram to find out the Soviet army's intentions. Jeddah got off the horse and set up the radio station, but what was disappointing was that he still failed to receive the Soviet army's telegram.

"Captain. We must have missed the reception time during the march." Jeddah said helplessly.

Hu Yunfeng nodded silently. After a while, he said, "Send a message to Chita, maybe they have received a telegram from the Soviet army."

Jeddah's eyes lit up. Chita also had the code of the Siberian Front Command. Chita was the Soviet Port Army Command, which must have listened to the Soviet army's telegrams 24 hours a day. Jeddah immediately sent a newspaper to Chita to ask if he had received a telegram from the Siberian Front Commander to Colonel Belfshka.

Chita was about to send a message to Hu Yunfeng, but when he received a telegram from Jeddah, he immediately replied. Jeddah quickly translated it and handed the telegram to Hu Yunfeng in surprise.

Hu Yunfeng glanced at him and immediately showed joy. Chita did receive a telegram from the Siberian Front to Belfshka two days ago. But the telegram was very simple. The Siberian Front ordered Colonel Belfshka to take the remaining troops to Barnaul to rest and wait for a new combat order.

Hu Yunfeng was not too happy to learn about the whereabouts of Belfshka's remaining troops. What really made him happy was that the 2nd Airborne Division, which entered Kazakhstan from Gorta Altaisk, had arrived near Astana, an important city in northern Kazakhstan two days ago. The 1st Airborne Division followed by the 1st Airborne Division, near Pavlodar, another important city in the northeast of Astana, passed by. Tonight, the 1st Airborne Division and the 2nd Airborne Division will launch an attack on these two cities.

Astana is the most important city in northern Kazakhstan. Not only are there many factories transferred from the Soviet Union from Europe, but it is also the railway hub that the Soviet Union arrived in Siberia through Kazakhstan. Destroying Astana not only can destroy many factories in the Soviet Union, but more importantly, it cut off a passage from the Soviet Union to Siberia.

Pavlodar is equally important. The railway from Astana to Novosibirsk not only passes through Pavlodar, but also through the Ers River in Pavlodar, which is also a waterway from Soviet Europe to Novosibirsk.

Hu Yunfeng originally planned to let the 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions meet in Kazakhstan and attack Astana together. In his opinion, as long as he captured Astana, he could cut off a Soviet passage to Siberia. Now he no longer interfered in the command of the army's combat, and Jiang Baili revised his plan. There is no doubt that Jiang Baili's plan is more lethal to the Siberian Front.

Sandra's intelligence department has figured out that Astana and Pavlodal are both in the rear of the European battlefield and the Far East battlefield, and there are not many Soviet troops. It is enough to launch attacks on these two cities with two divisions. Although Hu Yunfeng did not interfere in the military combat command, he still had to explain some things. He ordered Jeddah: "Send a report to Chita and ask Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chiang to convey my order to the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Airborne Division. If the Soviets do not resist fiercely, except for destroying military facilities, transportation facilities, and factories, it is not allowed to massacre the Kazakhstans in the cities of Astana and Pavlodal for no reason. If they have time, they can open the Soviet grain reserve warehouses in these two cities and distribute food to the residents of these two cities. In short, we cannot erect an eternal enemy."

After giving the order, Hu Yunfeng could only wait for the 1st and 2nd Division tonight to send good news. Now he was thinking about why the Siberian Front had transferred the troops led by Colonel Belfshka. Hu Yunfeng would not believe that the Soviets gave up their encirclement and suppression, but if the Soviets had not given up their encirclement and suppression and transferred Colonel Belfshka's troops to Barnaul, the Soviets would not have encirclement and suppression, which would be incomprehensible.

"Captain, I guess it is very likely that the Soviets sent another unit to replace Colonel Belfshka's troops. After all, Colonel Belfshka's troops suffered heavy losses after being ambushed by us." Zhou Weitao showed his thoughts when he saw Hu Yunfeng smoking a cigarette and frowning.

Hu Yunfeng nodded slightly and said that there was such a possibility, but he asked again: "Then where are their new troops? Are the Soviets not worried that we will escape?"

"We must have been monitoring us around us, but we just didn't notice it." Zhou Weitao replied.

Hu Yunfeng nodded, thought for a while and shook his head, "There is also a possibility, but the possibility is not great. In addition to sending the search troops, we also ambushed the personnel and waited for them, but three days later, the Soviet army did not find a single shadow. Could it be that the Soviet army's reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities suddenly increased to the point where no one could find it?"

Indeed, with the reconnaissance capabilities of the Special Forces and the Snow Leopard Commando, Zhou Weitao did not think that there were enemies who could keep them unconsciously tracking the troops for a long time. In particular, the Special Forces were no longer Chu Ge of the Special Forces when he went to Taiwan to fight a few years ago. The Special Forces have experienced various battles with Hu Yunfeng in recent years and are also fighting in various environments. They are very skilled in how to reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in each environment.

"Captain." Seeing that Hu Yunfeng and Zhou Weitao stopped talking, Wu Yongming said: "Is there any possibility that the Soviets have learned that our purpose is Barnaul, and they are setting up an ambush there waiting for us."

There were not many cities in the Altai Krai, and the Soviets were indeed able to judge their own and their troops’ destinations. Is it a coincidence that Colonel Belfshka’s remnants returned to Barnaul to rest or was it a targeted order issued by the Siberian Front Command? Hu Yunfeng quickly thought about Wu Yongming’s assumption in his mind.

However, Hu Yunfeng did not immediately agree with Wu Yongming's assumption that he was the head of the Soviet port. If the Soviets only judged that the destination of themselves and their troops was Barnaul, they would set up an ambush in Barnaul at the risk of allowing themselves and their troops to escape at any time. If he was Soviet, Hu Yunfeng thought he would not take this risk.

Hu Yunfeng raised his idea, and Zhou Weitao, Wu Yongming and other special forces members stopped talking. Jeddah never participated in combat analysis. Seeing that everyone was frowning and thinking, he casually said: "Captain, why are you worried? Tonight, as long as the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Airborne Division successfully captured Bapurodar and Astana, I don't believe that the Siberian Front is not panicked. Maybe they will think that you and us went to Kazakhstan?"

A word woke up the dreamer, Hu Yunfeng spread his eyebrows and smiled, "Jida said it well. As long as the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Airborne will be successful tonight, our chance will come."

"No matter whether the Soviets were ambushing in Barnaul or not, we would not go to attack the city when we went to Barnaul, and we would let the British take the lead. Even if the Soviets were ambushing, they would go to ambush the British." Zhou Weitao looked at Lieutenant Colonel Simon and bullied Lieutenant Colonel Simon and did not understand Chinese.

"Enough, I'll say less of this in the future." Hu Yunfeng didn't agree with letting the British take the lead. He was worried that if Lieutenant Colonel Simonre and his subordinates knew Chinese but deliberately pretended not to understand. Zhou Weitao said these words in front of the British, so that he could use the British in the next battle.

Jeddah contacted Hu Yunfeng, and Hu Yunfeng no longer discussed with the team members what the Soviets had in their purpose. However, he was not careless. Whether the Soviets sent a new force to replace Colonel Belfshka's troops or the Soviets knew his destination and set up an ambush in Barnaul waiting for him and the troops, Hu Yunfeng would be extremely careful.

Hu Yunfeng ordered the troops to make a fire and cook. They would go out of the mountains and forests after tonight. It is likely that this was the last meal of hot food. Hu Yunfeng asked everyone to cherish the opportunity to eat hot food in this meal.

Hu Yunfeng and others made fire and cook, but did not find the Soviet reconnaissance personnel lurking around the troops, to be precise, the lurking Soviet intelligence personnel. No wonder Hu Yunfeng could not find the Soviet reconnaissance personnel. After Beria formulated a plan to annihilate Hu Yunfeng and his troops in Barnaul, she did not actively send people to contact the reconnaissance Hu Yunfeng and his troops. Instead, she analyzed in advance the place where Hu Yunfeng and his troops were going to pass by, and sent lurking personnel to wait for Hu Yunfeng and his troops to arrive. (To be continued...)
