Chapter 506: The Idea of an Air Raid
Wu Jian didn't expect that his guess was really right, the first battalion did fly over, and the sudden decision at that time should have notified the trading city, but the stern shape of the trading city, even the most optimistic staff officer, did not dare to guarantee when the airship would arrive, whether it would catch up, if it left a glimmer of hope for the front line, but it could not be achieved, but instead hundreds of special combat personnel were caught in it, which outweighed the loss.
With the support of a large amount of intelligence, the military chess deduction for the Russian army in this battle has been going on, even if the city is lost, it is just a strategic passivity, and there is no way to make up for it, for a little strategic initiative, pay a large number of elite soldiers, especially special combat personnel, this does not seem to be a good deal.
At this time, the distance between the first battalion of the special combat team and the trading city is 35 kilometers, not 25 kilometers point-to-point, point-to-point is on flat land and under the complex environment, the actual use range may be more than 25 kilometers, because of the timeliness of special forces, it is rarely used in this way.
Now, the special combat team is going to the trading city through the air, and the high altitude itself is a way to increase the efficiency of electromagnetic waves, otherwise the medium wave station and mobile phone signal tower in later generations will not all be built in high places, and the flight altitude of the airship has not reached the maximum, but the altitude of 3000 meters has improved the efficiency of the radio waves, and Wu Jian of the trading city has been contacted 35 kilometers away.
350 kilometers from Kulen to Kyakhta, in fact, Lan Rongzeng is excited, at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour, crossing a distance of 350 kilometers, ignoring all kinds of terrain, mountains, and even rivers, this in Lan Rongzeng's heart, as if opening another window for him, airships may be one of the weapons that give full play to the greatest power of the special combat team, from the air over the enemy's heavily guarded battle line, deep into the enemy's rear, isn't it the special combat team's specialty, no need to forcibly infiltrate the enemy's position, On a certain course, the casualties of the special combat team were reduced.
Departure last night, a whole night, 60 kilometers away, after walking through the last sign, they have no markers, fortunately the remaining 60 kilometers, are generally straight lines, plus after dawn, today is a sunny day, flying at an altitude of more than 3000 meters airship, use binoculars to identify the landmark places near the trading city and Kyakhta, especially Kyakhta and the trading city itself, two cities so close to each other, even in the Central Plains There are not many prosperous places, What's more, in a vast and sparsely populated place like Mongolia, the airship almost did not detour, and went directly, at least about 30 minutes earlier than expected, and arrived near the trading city.
Lan Rongzeng sent a telegram, point-to-point contact, sat in front of the radio, waiting for the reply from the trading city, he received Wu Jian's telegram, his heart was full of surprise, Wu Jian just relied on 400 people, the Cossack 2 divisions, almost scrapped, the results of the trading city, the base camp already knew, Lan Rongzeng on the airship, because 350 kilometers from Kulen to Kyakhta, there is no telegraph signal tower, 70 kilometers out of Kulen, it is radio silence, only to the periphery of the trading city, this is contact, He didn't know the detailed results yet, but he didn't delay him in judging Wu Jian's strength, the commander of the second battalion, did such a good job without making a sound.
Among the several requirements put forward by Wu Jian, the problem of insufficient troops, because of their arrival, has been solved by most of them, at least 700 people have been filled in, not to mention completely stabilizing the defense line of the trading city, it is no problem to hold it for a few days, along the way, they have received successive guidance from the first division, from the trading city to the location of the first division, the bonfires along the way, every 30 kilometers, are set by the first division.
The vanguard of the first division has already entered the range of 60 kilometers from the trading city, but it is only a continuous march, they are not enough to cover 60 kilometers in one day, but they will be able to reach it tomorrow at the latest, which means that at least 3 battalions and 1,500 soldiers are stationed, so that the defense thickness of the trading city increases.
The special combat team of 400 people can resist 20,000 troops, 1,500 people, at least 40,000 or 50,000 people, as long as the first division and the follow-up first army all arrive at the front line of the trading city, and the follow-up of the Russian army all come up, so what, it is just a positional battle, there is danger to defend, and there is time to build a position, not to mention the victory or defeat, the war will be fixed on the first line of the trading city, which is very beneficial to the strategy of Baotou.
Russia is a great power, a great power with millions of land forces, and thousands of kilometers of national borders with China, although the borders of this era, most of them are places where birds don't, but if Russia really comes with the strength of the country, the foundation of the northwest is still a little weaker, and if you really want to compete with Russia, perhaps the best result is to lose both, and Yang Yuanzhao spent 4 years in the northwest, and the prepared qiē will be ruined.
Buying and selling the city is very important, and it almost determines the next strategic point in the northwest, Lan Rongzeng thought about it, whether it was a special forces assault or something else, it couldn't solve the problem, and in the end, he actually thought of a way that was not a way, the airship dropped the bomb, and the bomb was used to kill the gunboat.
This idea is a bit crazy, at least for Lan Rongzeng, that's right, on the airship, it is carrying part of the munitions, originally, it was going to wait until they landed, the airship to see if the opportunity can land, add a little munitions, but now, the munitions on the side of the city are enough for the time being, and there are 12 gunboats, at an altitude of more than a kilometer, drop a brick, fall, can produce considerable lethality, not to mention grenades or mortar shells, these, on top of the airship, There are more than 12,000 pieces, even if they can't hurt the gunboat, they will let the gunboat settle down a little, at least they don't dare to get too close to Baotou, as for the results they will achieve, they can only ask God to worship Buddha.
After deciding, Lan Rongzeng decided to leave 50 people on the airship, and together with the airship operator, they were responsible for throwing bombs down, this airship was only real, if it wasn't for this thousand-mile attack, Yang Yuanzhao hadn't even used it directly in the military, after all, with hydrogen as the filling gas, the entire airship was a big bomb, in case of a problem, it would be a big deal, and he didn't think about dropping bombs, so he could only rely on manpower to drop bombs.
Leave enough personnel on the airship, and the rest, 5 kilometers south of the trading city, will be lowered by guò plane, and then through the guò tunnel, into the core of the trading city, now it is the war zone, under the airship plane, there is no protection at all, and there are more people concentrated.
On the contrary, it is much easier to enter from the tunnel, the tunnel that has been abandoned, five kilometers away, there is a hidden opening, this is known when Cullen set off, the first design, is where to enter, as long as you contact Wu Jian well, do not accidentally hurt your own people.
The point-to-point contact between the two radio stations was passed through the air, the airship arrived at the predetermined position at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and began to land from the air, when it was only less than 50 meters from the ground, dozens of long ropes fell down, and the heavy airship, in the windless environment, hovered smoothly in the air, and the fixed rope that was thrown down first, under the fixation of the pilot, was fixed to the ground, and formed a channel along the rope, and the soldiers carried personal belongings one by one. Eventually, it landed smoothly on the ground.
650 people, it took less than 15 minutes to land, and after descending so many people, the rope was retracted to the airship, and then the airship continued to lift off, after a simple adjustment, it took almost 30 minutes, just about 2000 meters in the air, rushed to the Selenga River in front.
Although the gunboat has machine guns and Makqin on it, it is different from the army, the army may be able to use and some kind of support to set up the Makqin, which can carry out certain attacks on air objects about 1000 meters, but this is a gunboat, whether it is a machine gun or artillery, are fixed, under a certain angle of fire, it can also be adjusted, in the air, they can not be involved.
Lan Rongzeng looked at the airship in the distance, waved his hand, and let everyone gather in the woods, according to the map, after looking for a long time, under a tree hole, he found the sign of the entrance, where it is necessary to dig up about one meter of soil, and then there will be three layers of steel plates to be able to enter the tunnel, even before it is activated, this outer land, there is no trace, and the door left is also left below.
More than 600 soldiers, with the help of multi-functional armor shovels, interchangeable, in a few minutes, to find the position, after everyone entered, closed a special broken dragon stone, this road was completely sealed, the granite of the private room, unless with explosives, or a large number of high explosives, otherwise can not be opened here at all.
More than 600 reinforcements were in the tunnel, quickly heading towards the trading city, and in a maximum of 1 hour, the trading city could be reached, enriching the power of the trading city, and the airship rushed towards the Selenga River faster. With a speed of 55 kilometers per hour, it will take the airship a maximum of five or six minutes to cover these 6 kilometers, and if it is not for the time delayed in the air altitude, it will be faster.
Clear sky at a glance, two huge, thousands of cubic meters of big guys, extremely eye-catching in the air, the first thing to notice is the observation post in the city, reported to Wu Jian, Wu Jian immediately understood, Lan Rongzeng how they came over, the mood calmed slightly, and then his eyes turned to the opposite side, after the gunboat hit, there was no action Kyakhtu, at this time suddenly came to move.
