Warships easily pass through the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, a destroyer, will not be blocked, and it is not a capital ship, for the competition for the navy, one or two destroyers, or even ten or eight, will not play any role, very deciding the quality of naval warfare, there will always be only the main gun above 350 mm of the capital ship. Top Novel, x.

Even if it is controlled by the British in the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, it does not care much about the coming and going of a destroyer, and even the German ** ship can carry out simple replenishment in the harbor controlled by Britain and France, which is completely different from the travel of the capital ship.

More than two months, almost half of the world, Bordo felt the tropical hot sea breeze, this time it may only take 18 days, or even 17 days to reach China, I don't know what the current Mongolia, what it looks like, the order from the General Staff is very targeted, not only the most lacking part of Germany, but also a great way to test the ability of the Northwest, perhaps this is an assessment of the overall strength of the Northwest by the General Staff, what I heard and what the drug dealer tea can introduce, is always in the clouds, Only such genuine exchanges and contracts can be seen.

When Bordo was drifting in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, the Mongolian front, the stalemate was still continuing, it was already March, the days of spring were blooming, 5 divisions had been stationed near the trading city, and even the 6th Division of the Second Army had arrived within 100 kilometers, a full 1,000 square kilometers of the theater, more than 130,000 Baotou troops were concentrated here, and the troops of 6 divisions were divided into different echelons. Completely turned this land into a well-defended war zone.

With Baotou's strong construction ability, the simple road from Kulun to the city of Buying. has penetrated, leveled the triple soil. At the turn of spring and summer in Mongolia, which is relatively dry, there is no need to consider the problem of the road being washed away by rain, at least 70,000 construction troops, 1,800 various construction machinery, concentrated in an area of about 350 kilometers, from Kulen to the north 200 kilometers, two-way four-lane cement road has been built, is waiting for the cement to completely condense, at most a month later. You can get through to the buying and selling city.

More than 200,000 Russian troops, after several heavy attrition, are currently only a little more than 150,000, which is only about 30,000 more than the northwest, and more than 50,000 casualties in exchange, only a few thousand casualties in the Northwest Army, such a casualty ratio. Samsolov was a little frightened, and the combat effectiveness of the northwest refreshed his cognition again and again.

The ability of the Northwest to hold on is too strong, after the initial hit the wall. Samsolov didn't think about bypassing, but when 10 small airships were transferred to the front line of the city, they were almost within a radius of 500 kilometers. It's like it's a forbidden area, any action. will be quickly discovered by the Northwest Army, once into the depths of the grassland. Without a map and guide, he might have fallen into the trap of the Northwest Army, and after losing 12,000 people in 3 ** brigades in a row, Samsolov would not dare to act rashly.

God knows, on this calm steppe, how many killing machines are left, how many lives will be devoured, the Russian army is in a dilemma, after being completely annihilated by most of 2 divisions, severely damaged three or four divisions, and even lost 4 ** brigades, the Russian Far Eastern Military District has been hit hard, itself, at the time of the Russo-Japanese War, the Far Eastern Military District, which has not been fully restored, has fallen into the weakest moment, in the Far East, within Russia, have caused huge disputes, and the Russian top level even began to discuss and continue to stalemate in the Far East, The question of whether it makes sense.

Unlike the stubborn tsar, the top of the Russian political and military circles are more or less aware of the current situation in Russia, the clouds of war in Europe are slowly shrouded, on the European side, a large number of troops are unable to be mobilized, Baotou is in the middle of the war, and the combat effectiveness of the table is at least equivalent to two or three divisions of the Russian army, or even slightly stronger, after all, the divisions on the Baotou side are basically more than 20,005 powerful divisions, a certain number of divisions, 6 divisions, 150,000 people, The Far East must mobilize at least 350,000 or even 400,000 troops to have enough victories, for the sake of the barren land of Mongolia, is it so cost-effective, such a place that looks big, but has no value, even if it is obtained, it is a huge burden.

Russia in Mongolia, there is still a certain foundation, can not attack, but know some of the situation in Mongolia, now the first thing, has come to an end, in the early days of the uprising, was extinguished by the northwest, almost impossible, in the ** out, unless it is directly sent troops to occupy, although Britain, Japan and France, supported a lot of military spending, but the loss of 60,000 people, for the Far East, is also a huge loss, enough to make the entire Russian side, broken bones.

Now in a dilemma, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in barren land, the daily consumption is astronomical, the war that lasted for 3 months, the military expenses supported by Britain, France and Japan were consumed a lot, and Russia also paid a lot of price.

Bordo came to Baotou again, it has been 2 months after the last time, no matter how much time is saved, it took more than 45 days on the road, this is still a warship not a cruise, if it is a cruise, the road will take at least 15 more days, the last time in a hurry, Bordo just glanced at Baotou, the main focus is only on the production capacity of heavy industry, and now he is back to his hometown, so he has the opportunity to pay attention to Baotou.

It seems that compared with the last departure, Baotou has changed a little bit, all kinds of projects, with rapid development, the whole Baotou, in a certain way, has become a large construction site, in the construction site, countless construction units are in progress, and the northwest seems to be making some preparations.

Mongolia side, basically the dust has settled, at least in Yang Yuanzhao's view, the Russian army will not send more reinforcements before it can make any big waves, 150,000 troops, plus enough logistics, enough to resist the Russian army, before Cai Yi had a headache of the Russian army 180 artillery, now there is also an enemy, Yang Yuanzhao and the army leadership, it is definitely impossible for the Northwest Army to be so backward and beaten, before because of the relationship of transportation, it was impossible to send the 203 artillery to the front line of the city, while the simple highway was repaired, 12 203 mm guns, has been transported, the first time to give the Russian army a heavy blow, the Russian heavy artillery division almost did not expect that there is such a heavy artillery in the northwest, more than 180 mm artillery more than 3 kilometers of range, more powerful 203 mm artillery, directly to the heavy artillery division of a dismount, continuous base of artillery coverage, almost the Russian heavy artillery division to heavy damage, after losing the vast majority of artillery fire and personnel, the northwest completely occupied the Mongolian front line artillery advantage.

Under the situation of absolute superiority, especially the interspersed special forces and well-trained soldiers, Cai Yi's First Army and Wang Jinming's Second Army, on several occasions proposed to take the initiative to attack and strive to eliminate Russia's living forces as much as possible, thus teaching him a huge lesson.

The temptation to annihilate 200,000 Russian troops, in a certain way, made Feng Yuxiang's heart move, and in a sense, this was the first large-scale victory over a foreign power since 1840, and it was also an extremely encouraging move.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that the previous attack on the Russian army is at most to touch Russia, let them know that the northwest is not easy to bully, but if you really annihilate all the Russian dispatched troops, then you will really have a big enmity with Russia, God knows if the crazy tsar will pour the strength of the whole country to confront the northwest, crazy Russia, with more than 10 million mobilization capabilities, and China's thousands of kilometers of national borders, if a full-scale war starts, even if the northwest is not afraid, it will be very troublesome. Maybe he will lose the opportunity in two years, Yang Yuanzhao has never planned to directly connect to the future World War I, lay a solid foundation, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to let China reap the benefits, which is what he should do. Veto this proposal, let Cai Ye and Wang Jinming hold their positions firmly, as long as they hold on to this group of Russian troops and hold on, it will be a victory.

Yang Yuanzhao's strange battle plan, so that Cai Yi and others do not understand, according to this implementation, Yang Yuanzhao's overall general vision is recognized, the opposite 150,000 Russian troops, although they have been hit hard, but it is not without a little combat effectiveness, really want to fight, maybe the losses in the northwest will be huge, not to mention tens of thousands of casualties, such losses, the northwest can not afford it, Yang Yuanzhao has decided, then they will follow the implementation.

The defense of the northwest is stable, but the Russian army is even more unable to find a breakthrough, the combat effectiveness is not dominant, the northwest defense is extremely tough, coupled with the loss of the advantage of artillery fire, the possibility of the last Russian capture of the buying and selling city has also been lost, gradually, except for the routine attacks every day, there is no other action, but the northwest side, the action does not stop.

The northwest is still continuously strengthening the strength of the trading city, all kinds of materials, all kinds of weapons, a steady stream of guò that road transported, next, is to buy and sell the city as the center, the construction of a large-scale fortress, with the trading city system as the core, the construction of 20 batteries, this is a dense battery group, the main guns all use 203 mm artillery, one battery has a 203 mm main gun, 8 155 mm secondary guns, 12 small guns, 48 Makqin, The fortified fortress is made entirely of reinforced concrete, and the 20 forts are enough to cover a 20-kilometer radius around the city, and once completed, it will be the most formidable fortress in Mongolia. Under such circumstances, the strength of two permanent divisions is enough to resist the attack of four or five divisions of the Russian army, so that most of the energy can be put on the entire west and reduce the pressure on the northwest when facing Russia.
