The roaring cannonball, breaking the tranquility of the early morning, after two days of calm, once again ushered in the artillery fire, this time the artillery fire, obviously more intense, 120 mm artillery, in less than 5 kilometers of the attack, the impact and lethality is very huge, itself showered in the artillery fire for a long time, the structure has been greatly damaged by the house, after 5 rounds of artillery fire, began to collapse, thumb thickness of reinforced concrete, there is no way to resist the impact from the heavy artillery, At worst, a hole was directly drilled, and at worst, half of the wall collapsed, and the defense built by the mountain was not relied on, and it was relatively vulnerable in the face of real artillery fire.

The complete line of defense was shattered because of this, if there were still people in it, there was no way to resist it, and even those headquarters at the top of the hierarchy were also hit hard, although the reinforced concrete was much thicker than the other rooms, but half of the artillery, more than 10 rounds of attacks, still made it bruised all over its body, part of the room collapsed, and the main body barely maintained.

Wu Jian and Lan Rongzeng had already begun to retreat, and the high-rise buildings were easy to attack, but the system of the trading city was based on underground fortifications, and simple things like periscopes had already been made, all over Baotou, and even on the hills ten miles away, which was enough to take a full view of the situation in Baotou. In tunnel warfare, observing the external situation is the key, otherwise, as soon as you rush out, you will rush into the enemy's densely defended area, then it will not be a sneak attack, it will be a self-defeating net. 《

This time the artillery preparation was quite amazing, and the Russian army seemed to be going to put all its anger out of the artillery fire. From 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. For three hours, 72 guns with 120 guns and more than 200 guns from 75 guns. About 14,000 shells were poured down, an average of 200 rounds per shell, almost 200 rounds were plowed, and almost the entire battlefield was plowed, and the few houses at the forefront had long been cleaned up, leaving only a few small houses that were sturdy and small, and the depth was also extremely bad, and less than 30 houses were left intact in the entire transaction. The rest are dilapidated houses.

After the perfect preparation of artillery fire, the infantry attack also began, and the 75 guns and 120 guns also stopped firing salvos and began a free attack, providing sufficient fire support for the infantry. Or retreat to the tunnel, leaving only part of the personnel.

Seeing the actions of the Russian army, the special forces did not all hide in the tunnels, among the remaining 30 houses. Some of the 18 buildings are special, complete reinforced concrete structures that can withstand the bombardment of more than 155 heavy artillery. The cement and rebar used here are of the highest grade because the floors are not high. There are only two floors at most, and there are few attacks. It survived this wave of carpet shelling, and this was the site of the first wave of blockade.

60 snipers have been stationed in these rooms, the height of about 5 meters on the second floor, and the sniper's firing range is unimpeded, it has become a territory for them to play freely, aiming at, of course, these Russian soldiers who are aiming at the waist and rushing towards the trading city.

The reason why they chose to use sniper rifles instead of Makqin or light machine guns is that the sniper rifles are well concealed, and the remaining 30 rooms, even if they can block heavy artillery, they can't withstand continuous bombardment.

Similarly, there are 60 of them, all over the high ground outside the trading city, all in the south of the trading city, the farthest, almost 1200 meters away from the trading city, such a distance, for the general rifle, is the same as the moat, but for the specially made zuò, especially the barrel and bullet obviously lengthened sniper rifle, it can maintain sufficient accuracy within 1 kilometer, as for 1200 meters, some special marksmen, can still easily hit.

Although the Cossacks are still very fierce when they dismount, but compared with the real Russian army's strong army units, there is still a certain gap, this is the case in front of you, the charge with a strong sense of hierarchy is not crowded together, and it is very difficult to give the fixed machine gun fire, the fixed machine gun position in Baotou, after strafing the Russian army in the front row, soon attracted artillery fire to cover, it is obvious that in the coordination of infantry and artillery fire, the 122nd Division is much better than the 173rd and 179th Divisions, and the gunners can observe, Find the machine gun fire, and then clear it at a fixed point.

After several times, although there was no loss, but the machine gun continued like this, there would still be a certain danger, especially in the artillery fire, the smoke and dust blocked the firing range, and it was impossible to better attack the enemy, Lan Rongzeng decisively withdrew the personnel, leaving only the snipers.

When the infantry came within 500 meters of the city, the sniper rifle began to sound, and the complex and changeable battlefield situation made it impossible for the sniper to guarantee that each shot could kill one, but a magazine could always take away one or two, and the cold gun rang out, and there was a little commotion in the camp of the Russian army.

"Sharpshooters, quite a few!" The commander of the 122nd Division, Arkasha, who was observing the battle situation, said coldly to Avdeyevic.

"Yes, it's very troublesome, and they suffered a big loss because of these things before." Avdeevich nodded and said.

"A simple sharpshooter can't change the tide of battle!" Alkasha waved his hand, and told the Russian soldiers with a trumpet, continue to attack, a group charge of a 5e08 unit, and after 3 hours of artillery preparation, more than 100 snipers, in ten minutes, at most, only killed and injured a few hundred people, when the gray uniforms of the Russian army flooded the entire trading city, even the remaining active snipers also entered the tunnel, before entering, they were still in their positions, including some Russian corpses, arranged mines.

Alkasha looked at the flags one by one, planted on the houses of the trading city, especially those of the sturdy buildings, the gray Russian figures, all over the trading city, the trading city has been captured. The casualties were not small, about a thousand, but acceptable, 173 and 179, which cost more than ten thousand casualties, were not taken down to buy and sell the city, which was taken down in the hands of his Alkasha, and the excitement, almost overflowing, he completed the task that neither Cossack division had completed.

Avdeyevich looked at Alkasha and said, "Congratulations to the division commander!" ”

"Be careful to search them and don't let go of any Chinese soldiers!" Alkasha said that it has been determined that the number of Chinese soldiers in the trading city is only about 1,000, and the entire steppe has no danger to defend, and there is no place to escape, and Alkasha even specially transferred some Cossacks from the 173rd and 179th divisions to form a temporary regiment.

It occupied almost 15 minutes, and the gunfire on the battlefield gradually stopped, but when the guards reported back the message, Alkasha was stunned, no, I don't know when, the Chinese soldiers had retreated, and there was no one in the buying and selling city.

After winning the entire deal, Alkasha has completed the strategic task, but there is no opponent at all, which makes him feel incredible, it is difficult to become the previous opponent, and they have disappeared without a trace. When a large number of soldiers entered the trading city and searched everywhere, but nothing was found, it was natural that they all relaxed and began to collect the bodies of their comrades who had died before.

Don't tighten it, under it, it represents the beginning of their nightmare, one after another tricky mines have been detonated, often a corpse will bring two or three casualties, but this is the case, you will be fooled by a lot of losses, just be careful with the corpse, but the layout of the special forces, of course, will not be so simple, serial traps, serial explosions, so that many soldiers are tired, the most important thing is that the mine array has also detonated, 3000 infantry mines, once opened, the entire trading city will become a jungle of mines.

In short, the sound of explosions was endless, and even after occupying the trading city, the 122nd Division was beaten out by continuous casualties and explosions, and in just one and a half hours, they lost 3,000 troops, plus the previous losses, it can be said that they were a little broken.

Alkasha was a little overwhelmed, in his decades of military career, he had never encountered such an opponent, there were not many of them, but he never played a head-on confrontation with you, they were all in the back, in the weakest place, and even two or three hundred Russian soldiers were killed by the sudden appearance of the enemy, even with strafing, and then disappeared magically.

Alkasha knew that although on the surface, he occupied the trading city, but the real trading city was still in the hands of those Chinese, although I don't know where they are hiding, what demon methods are so ghostly, but without annihilating them, the Mongol strategy and the next action cannot continue.

What to do, retreat or advance? Alkasha is a strong-willed man, and with the help of the 156th Division, he actually adopted the most prudent method, artillery fire to plow the land, not even 75 guns did not shoot all 120 guns, all the buildings of the trading city, he was not ready to let go, he did not believe that even after the entire trading city was razed to the ground, those soldiers could still hide.

In pure artillery warfare, the special combat team suffered extremely much, because the special combat team was not equipped with large-caliber artillery fire, and the 120 mortar was the limit, even if it was 120 artillery, and the opponent's 120 howitzer, it was not an opponent of an order of magnitude at all.

Alkasha's plan is good, but a 2-square-kilometer city, many of which are also defended in a permanent way, some buildings, even with a meter of reinforced concrete, 120 guns are very powerful, but it is impossible to aim at a point all the time, when the destruction of the city reaches a certain distance, it begins to slow down, during the day is the absolute advantage of the Russian army, the Russian army can keep firing artillery, but at night, it is the world of special forces, and the harassment and attack are brought to the extreme, In one night, the battlefield that can always cause one or two hundred casualties of Russian troops has once again entered a stalemate.
