Volume Fourteen, Smoke of Gunpowder, Chapter 80, Encounter Again(2/2)

It was not that the US military discovered that Saratov was being attacked, but that the reconnaissance troops sent out were like mud bulls entering the sea. Not only did they not send back messages, but they also lost contact. This is understandable that before the occupation of Saratov, the electronic interference of the Republic's army had not stopped, which would naturally affect the communication of the US military. In fact, the US military had long noticed the abnormality, but before that, the Republic's army had been conducting electronic interference, and it was normal to suppress and interfere in relevant areas during the battle. More importantly, the Russian army had long established an underground wired communication network, and even if it was disturbed, it could contact the outside world. Therefore, the US military did not expect that Saratov was being attacked.

It can be said that this negligence caused the US military to waste a very precious few hours.

Given the situation at that time, even in the early morning of the day, the US military had enough time to change the direction of the march and evacuate from Tambov to the battlefield instead of continuing to advance towards Saratov, nor staying in Kameshin. Because Saratov's Russian army insisted much longer than expected, that is, the eighth combat unit was unable to occupy Saratov before the Blade Ridge point, as long as the US military turned before this time, it could avoid the eighth combat unit and arrive at this crucial city before the ninth combat unit occupied Voronezh and march towards Tambov to escape from the encirclement.

Unfortunately, in order to wait for news from the reconnaissance force, the US military actually waited for the old point blade to be divided in Cameshen.

Although at this time, the eighth combat unit still did not completely occupy Saratov, Yuan Chenhao had already ordered the ninth combat unit to assault eastward according to the changes in the battle situation, that is, to close his pockets in advance. More importantly, the US military was close to Kissing Kissan, and the low-altitude attack aircraft group of the main combat unit of Kashan was adjusting and deploying, so the US military had lost hope of breaking through.

What is more interesting is that what made the US military discover the danger was a group of Russian stragglers who broke south from Saratov.

What's even more interesting is that after capturing these Russian deserters, the US commander almost ordered them to be shot and executed on the spot because the US commander believed that they were detailed works sent by the Republican army.

Faced with this situation, the US military had no choice but to bite the bullet and head north at full speed, striving to arrive before Saratov fell and avoid being surrounded by the Republic's army.

At this time, Yuan Chenhao's cautious side was reflected.

Although he had four combat units outside the battlefield at that time, he did not mobilize these originally planned combat reserves. Because the purpose of the campaign was reduced, these troops were not incorporated into the reserves. Instead, the Ditian combat units, which were closest to the front line and most familiar with the situation, rushed to the eighth combat unit to assist the eighth combat unit to block the US military and prevent the US military from forcing the Volga River.

It is said that Yuan Chenhao's deployment is not only decisive, but also very timely.

You should know that the US military has a total of 4 divisions, with 80,000 troops not as strong as 80,000. In addition, there are about 10,000 Russian troops breaking through Volgograd. In the eighth battle, Saratov alone had to fight on both sides, and they would definitely not be able to stop so many enemies. The significance of the Ditian combat unit's rapid advance north is not to help the eighth combat unit consolidate the defense line, but to allow the US and Russian troops to be wary of the right wing when they go north, thereby slowing down the assault speed of the US and Russian troops, giving the eighth combat unit time to occupy Saratov and more time to build a defensive position.

Of course, the most important thing is to occupy Saratov in time.

During the night of Mingyin, after an hour of battle, the eighth combat unit finally annihilated the last Russian army of Saratov.

At this time, the vanguard of the US military was less than a thousand meters away from Saratov.
