Chapter 473: Found the trace of the enemy
Even if their fear discovered the Soviet army, it would obviously take a long time to bypass the river. Maybe by the time they chased them, the Soviet army would have finished crossing the river. At that time, the original bridge would be blown up, and the Fifth Army would have to stalemate on the other side of the river.
Originally, this was an abnormal pursuit battle, and many equipment could not be kept up in time, especially the boat bridge troops. Because they are all heavy equipment, the environment is not suitable for large-scale maneuvers, and it is very laborious to maneuver. It can be said that as long as the Soviet army crosses this river, they will have at least one week to escape.
In a week, even if the Fifth Army was riding a truck, they might not be able to catch up with them. Even if they caught up, they probably had already prepared their positions.
"Squad leader, there were traces of people walking here, which were very far away from the main road, unlike the path specially opened by locals."
Immediately afterwards, a soldier ran back to report with gasps.
Lin Yi hurriedly followed the soldier to check it out. However, after this, Lin Yi became more convinced of his guess. The Soviet army had indeed run away from here, and was very smart and dispersed the wrongs. In order to prevent the Air Force reconnaissance plane from discovering their figures, he specially selected the places with trees on the road he was walking.
The Soviet Far East was desolate, and no one cared about it here at all. You can plant the land here, and you can plant as much as you can. Despite this, more than 70% or 80% of the places are desolate, with trees everywhere and no one has cultivated them.
The mountains are already erected here and the trees are dense, so it is normal for large troops to be found by reconnaissance planes in the air to walk here. In addition, the Soviet army deliberately reduced the size of a certain unit, which is more conducive to concealment.
"I informed the company commander that the Soviet army might flee in the Ustiyilimusk area, and asked him to request the Air Force to conduct a detailed search and reconnaissance here to Ustiyilimusk, with the main target under the trees. If conditions permit, the Air Force can use machine guns to test whether there are Soviet troops below."
After reading it, Lin Yi immediately ordered.
After chasing for a few days, he finally found traces of large-scale Soviet movements. How could Lin Yi miss this opportunity? Now he only needs to listen to the reconnaissance situation on the Air Force. Before that, he should lead his troops toward Ustiyilimusk as much as possible.
I hope that the Soviet army can catch up with them before crossing the river. If they can attack violently when the Soviet army crosses the river, it is estimated that the Soviet army will suffer heavy casualties and will also cause a fatal blow to them.
Even if the Soviet army cannot be completely eliminated, it can also damage their vitality, making it impossible for them to continue to launch an attack for a longer period of time. The battle must be continued after replenishing enough troops. Of course, replenishing troops does not mean that you can make up as long as you want.
