The carriage slowly walked forward, and Bordo, in contemplation, suddenly felt that the carriage was slowing down, pushed open the window and saw that there was a row of buildings in front of him, and the soldier in charge of driving the car ran in front of Bordo, and said in a somewhat unfamiliar German: "Your Excellency, the front has arrived at the outpost, please come down and rest for a while!" ”

Similar posts, in the past few days, encountered more than a dozen times, all in a carriage or a day or so on foot, although it can not provide too many people's food and lodging, but can provide a lot of hot water, hot meals, as a German officer who has led soldiers, and even on the battlefield, he knows very well that for the march, the effect of such things, hot water can reduce fatigue, hot meals can drive away the cold, these are all ways to keep the troops on the march to maintain combat effectiveness.

Bordo knew that before the Northwest intervened in the Mongolian War, there was no arrangement in Mongolia, and Mongolia was in a certain sense, the scope of Russia's peeping, with the arrogance of the polar bear, these arrangements could not be arranged on the surface, which meant that the Northwest had only arranged so many things after the war began, and the action was very fast and step-by-step.

After a short rest, almost in the early hours of the morning, they were on their way again, and according to the information they had inquired about, he would be able to reach the front line of the city by the afternoon at the most. The sun rose again, and the cannon kept ringing, but listen carefully. Every cannon is not particularly loud, obviously. All of them are artillery under 75, such artillery with regimental level attributes. Even if it is fired, it can be moved very quickly, and the 120 mortars that Baotou retaliated against are even more convenient, after 5 consecutive shots, even if the shells have not yet landed, their gun positions have already moved, and you waste the shells back and forth, and the battle is continuous but not fierce. Every hour or two, it will be launched, and on the battlefield, it seems that some kind of routine has been formed.

The northwest is deliberately maintained, and even some artillery battles are only initiated by one or two groups of special forces, and there is nothing to do with the troops here, in order to get the Russian army used to such artillery fire, in such a dull situation. Cai Ye and others began to quietly mobilize troops, 900 special forces, except for the part that had to be guarded. The rest all spread out and fanned out, surrounding the brigade at the front of the protrusion. In fact, the reason why the position of this brigade was chosen is also because this brigade is at the forefront. The shrinkage is particularly severe, and it is only less than half a square kilometer of land. However, more than 4,000 officers and soldiers were concentrated, and the density was very strong, but the thickness of the battlefield was not high, and as long as the three-layer defense was broken, it could be quickly divided and encircled.

Among the 900 special combat personnel, there are about 200 snipers, they have been lurking in place, each sniper rifle is aimed at an important position, although it is daytime, but a week of high-intensity operations, plus the Northwest Army's side, are all unable to shrink, never take the initiative to attack, which paralyzes the vigilance of the Russian army, except for the necessary sentinels and protection, everyone else is hiding in the trenches to rest, look at the past, there are few to come.

The first division transferred 1,200 people, the second division and the third division 4,000 people, a total of 5,200 people, plus 900 special combat personnel, in terms of numbers, at least 1.5 times more than this brigade, but the combat effectiveness is more than three times, and the artillery fire of the surprise attack plus the strength of the special forces should not be a problem.

In the command center, a busy scene, all kinds of news, are quickly gathered in the command center, staff officers are nervously making the final battle plan, similar military deduction has been carried out for three days, the accumulated plan has been put forward and overturned, back and forth many times, it has been meticulous to the extreme, almost every minute there is a requirement for an attack, there is no omission. Cai Ye had a calm face, planning and fighting, several times and besieged, as long as he followed the step-by-step process, it was easy to eliminate such more than 4,000 people, he was concerned about the German officer corps behind, if they didn't come, who would he show for such an important matter.

"Report to the division commander, the officer corps has arrived!" The guard saluted.

"It's here, great, notify the troops to start preparing, and as soon as the officer corps arrives, start immediately!" Cai Yi's eyes lit up and said excitedly.

The officer corps is coming earlier than expected, which makes Cai Ye a little happy, after all, it is much better to be able to do it earlier than to start later, after all, the opponent is not immutable, they have strict training and intuition on the battlefield, maybe when, they will be able to find their movements, as long as the opposite brigade retreats, any of his plans will be empty.

Bordo was introduced into the command headquarters, which made him more or less surprised, according to his understanding of the Chinese, is it not to catch the wind and wash the dust, but then, when Zhang Xiaohuai told him in fluent German about the purpose of this operation, he was a little moved by the professional soldier.

The two armies are facing each other, and the strength of both sides, roughly he understands, the northwest side is more than 60,000, less than 70,000, and the Russian army has reached about 140,000, a little more than twice it, even if the Russian brigade is slightly ahead of the front, it is just a little weak in contact with other troops, and it is not completely surrounded on three sides.

Bordeaux suppressed his doubts, he came to the northwest to observe the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, so he formed a series of reports to evaluate the position occupied by the Northwest in the system of foreign German diplomacy, not to be compassionate or to command operations, and it was impossible for the Northwest to let the German officer corps command its own operations.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, they came to the observation point located at the headquarters, where the view was wide, to be exact, relatively close to the middle of the entire defensive line, and relatively hidden, in the midst of the trees and various concealment nets, and there were no positions around. The Russian army on the opposite side does not know at all.

Practically, this is normal, a war zone of 400 square kilometers. If it is all covered with artillery fire, no amount of artillery fire will be enough. Cannons have a lifespan, and from the moment they are fired, they will reduce their lifespan, and it is impossible to fire shells endlessly.

"It's already started!" Zhang Xiaohuai said suddenly, which made Bordo a little surprised, he didn't hear any signals or horns or anything like that, and even the position in front of him didn't have any superfluous movements, but after careful perception, it seemed to be a little different. It seems that the battlefield scene just now is a little different from the current one.

In fact, all the attacking soldiers have been prepared in place, and the camouflage specially developed in the northwest for the grassland, with some necessary camouflage, can be camouflaged at a long distance, and similar hidden operations have been done by the regular army. It's already familiar to the bones, no, it's already within 700 meters of the Russian brigade on the other side, and no one has found it yet.

Zhang Xiaohuai looked at Bordo. Pointing in the direction not far away, he said calmly: "Look anywhere, that's our attack team!" ”、

"What?" Bordo was taken aback. His eyesight was good, but it was clearly a meadow. Not much, a little bit more withered grass. took Zhang Xiaohuai's high-powered telescope, carefully looked back and forth three or four times, only to find out where is actually a group of soldiers, perfect camouflage, even under the telescope, if no one reminds, just rely on their own eyesight to see, it is not clear at all, where there are people, such a powerful camouflage technology, it seems that the use of military is very extensive.

Whether it is the era of cold weapons or the era of hot weapons, surprise attacks are always relatively easy to cause losses to the other side, especially in the era of hot weapons, unguarded and prepared camps and positions, such casualty ratios are completely different, but with the deepening of modern warfare, similar reconnaissance means and methods are becoming more and more popular.

Bordo in an instant, suddenly felt, he came to the northwest, it should be the right one, not to mention the war potential of the northwest, the crazy speed of building the railway, is this battle, can give him a new harvest, this is the case, the modern army, is developed from modern times, although it is said, no one is brain-dead, but also with the bright red military uniform of the British, that thing, in the jungle, on the battlefield, is simply a bright torch, is a standard target, gradually, to the dark tone and gray tone change, But the concealment ability on the battlefield is not strong, not that no one has mentioned to have a special training uniform, but the complex battlefield environment, it seems that it is not suitable for any monochrome military uniform, the one in front of him, gave him a huge inspiration, mixed color, the perfect integration into the grassland environment of the military uniform, seems to be the future development direction.

Zhang Xiaohuai looked at Bordo's expression, and knew that he was thinking something in his heart, what, he didn't care too much, there are many advanced things in the northwest, and some are inconvenient to display, but what is convenient to display will be displayed this time, especially this individual suit, including steel helmets, combat uniforms, camouflage uniforms,

Backpacks, bullet clips, small hooks, water bottles, lunch boxes, and even sapper shovels are the focus of the display.

Zhang Xiaohuai was born in a merchant family, more or less understand Yang Yuanzhao's purpose, he is of course to sell, these things that seem to have nothing to do with arms, in fact, the combat ability of individual soldiers is very obvious, as long as there are these, individual soldiers will be improved in all aspects, seemingly inconspicuous places, but can greatly enhance combat effectiveness, the most important thing is that these northwest can be produced independently or even set up factories to produce, once popularized, this is a huge market.

All the things involved in the military industry are not simple things, he represents great wealth and harvest, this may be one of Yang Yuanzhao's purposes, in fact, Zhang Xiaohuai really guessed correctly, Yang Yuanzhao's purpose is like this, in the future war, perhaps in terms of firearms and munitions, he may not be able to get involved so deeply in the early stage, in auxiliary items, from military uniforms to military supplies, he has huge ambitions, especially these new projects.
