Zhukov only gave Colonel Belfshka half an hour, which made him and his troops stage a tragic Soviet-style charge. The narrow passage leading to the Chinese positions had fallen layer after layer of Barnaur militia and Soviet corpses. But at that fifty meters distance, the Barnaur militia and Belfshka troops could not rush over.

The crazy charges of the Soviets and the cold-blooded killings of the Chinese made Lieutenant Colonel Simon and his subordinates unable to believe that this was a battle they experienced personally...

Colonel Belfshka and his troops had retreated, not because they dared not charge, but because the bodies of the Barnaur militia and his subordinates were piled up to block the road to attack.

"Comrade Colonel Belfshka, I am Colonel Leanid of the 179th Brigade. This is Lieutenant Colonel Vitalie, the commander of the 327th Regiment from Rubzovsk." Shortly after Colonel Belfshka and his remnants retreated, Colonel Leanid and Lieutenant Colonel Vitalie came up with more than a dozen mortars.

Belfshka nodded in frustration, pointed to the bloody Chinese position opposite the opposite side, and said, "I cannot conquer the Chinese position, and now you will take over the troops."

Before Colonel Leanid and Lieutenant Colonel Vitalier could see the Chinese positions, they looked in the direction pointed by Colonel Belfshka, and the two frowned immediately. It was not because of the mountain of corpses piled up in front of the Chinese positions, but because of the Chinese fortifications built like a fortress. At least three layers of trees were piled up in front of the Chinese positions as defense, and many small gaps were opened in the middle as shooting holes. Not only did they have to resist the bullets and grenades of their attacking troops, but they could also form cross-fire power, and the attacking troops could not attack. Several layers of trees nearly two meters wide were also piled up on the fortifications. It was obvious that the Chinese wanted to defend against artillery fire.

"Why did the Chinese cut so many trees in a short period of time?" Lieutenant Colonel Vitalier asked in confusion. How could he know that Hu Yunfeng, the universal shovels equipped by the Special Forces and the Snow Leopard Commando were not only shovels, but also chopping and sawing.

Colonel Belfshka shook his head and fought Hu Yunfeng's special forces several battles. Colonel Belfshka only knew that Hu Yunfeng and his special forces were well-equipped, and there were several new weapons. He also could not know the secret of Hu Yunfeng and his troops cutting so many trees in a short period of time. He said: "Col. Leanid, Lieutenant Colonel Vitalie, Marshal Zhukov only gave me half an hour to eliminate Hu Yunfeng's troops. Now half an hour has passed. I think Marshal Zhukov will not give you too much attack time. You can organize the attack immediately. I will take my subordinates to charge again."

"Wait." Colonel Leanid knew that Colonel Belfshka was preparing to sacrifice himself. He called Colonel Belfshka and said, "The Chinese occupied the favorable terrain and had solid fortifications. If the Chinese were not exhausted, I might not be able to conquer it for half a day. I sent a newspaper to Marshal Zhukov to explain the situation here."

"It's useless. Marshal Zhukov ordered the elimination of Hu Yunfeng's troops at all costs." Colonel Belfshka took out the telegram he received and handed it to Colonel Leanid and Lieutenant Colonel Vitalie, and smiled miserably: "It's a pity that my subordinates are the most elite soldiers with rich combat experience in all fronts. They will die in a meaningless charge like this."

Seeing the Chinese positions and fortifications, Colonel Leanid believed that there was no other way except to use people to consume Chinese ammunition. Of course, he did not want to see Colonel Belfshka and his troops continue to die. He still prevented Colonel Belfshka from leading the troops to continue charging, first ordering mortars to bombard the Chinese positions, and then reporting to Zhukov on the situation here.

Although the last charge caused heavy losses to the militia of Barnaur and Belfshka's subordinates, the piled up bodies in front of the Chinese positions accidentally covered the Soviet army and blocked Hu Yunfeng and the others' sight.

The mortars brought by Colonel Leanid used the cover of the body to sneak up fifty or sixty meters away from the Chinese position. They set up more than a dozen mortars behind the bodies of the Barnaur militia and Colonel Belfshka's subordinates.

"Swoosh, swosh..." The scream of artillery shells suddenly sounded in the air, and the Soviet mortars flew towards the Chinese positions.

After looking at the Chinese positions, Colonel Leanid knew that mortars could not cause much lethality to the Chinese. The Chinese defensive positions were built with multiple layers of solid trees, and the trees in the Chinese defensive positions were not cut down by the Chinese. Although it is winter, most of them are Siberian pine trees, which are evergreen all year round. Although the weather is severely cold at this time, the branches and leaves of Siberian pine trees are still lush. When the shells touch the branches, it is easy to cause violence and cannot fly into the Chinese positions at all. However, the Soviet army does not lack mortar shells. Colonel Leanid hopes that the shells detonated by the branches in front can open up an air corridor for the shells behind.

Most of the shells fired by the Soviet army were ignited on Hu Yunfeng and the others by the branches, causing the broken branches to fly across the head. However, Hu Yunfeng and others in the position were not panicked at all. They were observing the situation outside the position and chewing horse meat was very leisurely. Hu Yunfeng saw from the gap of the protective roof made of trees that the Soviet army's mortar shells gradually exploded into a shell passage, and the Soviet army's shells had broken through the edge of the above formation and flew towards the camp behind. However, Hu Yunfeng's expression did not change. When building the position, Hu Yunfeng not only considered protecting artillery, but also considered avoiding the bombing of the Soviet Air Force after dawn. Even if the Soviet mortars exploded a shell corridor in the air, it would not cause much damage to the people in the camp.

The telegram from Leanid to Zhukov to report the situation of the Chinese defensive positions such as Hu Yunfeng did not play any role. When he learned that Colonel Belfshka led his troops to charge, Zhukov still called back and scolded Colonel Belfshka very harshly, and asked Colonel Leanid to take over the troops and be responsible for the command of annihilation of Hu Yunfeng and his troops.

This time, Zhukov did not conceal the Soviet troops attacking Hu Yunfeng and others. Zhukov called back and told Colonel Leanid that at 12 o'clock, the Soviet port army had launched a general attack on the Siberian Front from two directions.

"So that's it." Colonel Leanide secretly said after reading the telegram, understanding why Zhukov had to limit their time to eliminate the Chinese troops as soon as possible and capture Hu Yunfeng. However, in the face of the Chinese occupying favorable terrain and strong fortifications, the shelling did not have much effect. Colonel Anide had no good way to eliminate the Chinese as soon as possible and capture Hu Yunfeng.
