In the thousand-mile area centered on Kyakhta and the city of trading, both sides are making large-scale arrangements, which is also the norm of modern warfare, rapid response, fast mobilization, the difference is that Baotou relies on portable radio, while the Russian army is wired telegraph, with the advantage of operating for many years and fighting on the inside line, the Russian army has responded quite well.

In the command room of the buying and selling city, Wu Jian, who had only rested for more than an hour, stood at the window again, the effect of the night attack in the first half of the night was beyond Wu Jian's expectations, his previous battle, although he achieved extremely good results, in a way, the fight was a little too conservative, the surprise attack of the large army, he had no spare strength, and he could not continue to carry out, with a small team of 20-30 people, but it could be carried out, especially now, under the situation that more than 7 percent of the Russian army was eliminated in a row, at night, The Russian army does not dare to come out at all, and the safety of the special combat personnel will be greatly protected, not to mention the number of casualties, but to say that the Russian army is full of soldiers and cannot rest, it can be accepted, and it will continue to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.

Throughout the night, the attack of the change of shifts, a total of more than 300 mortar shells were poured into the military camp in Kyakhta, there were not many direct casualties, not every shot was hit in the crowd, the relatively weak lethality of the 40mm mortar, the effect of the attack on this night was undoubted, when the Russian army became familiar with it, it could not even cause chaos, and the lethality was greatly reduced, but the Russian army generally did not rest enough and the injuries of the injured did not deteriorate.

Gunfire. Especially before the technology of modern artillery or artillery shells, the lethality of artillery bombardment to a city was quite limited. In the news that you will not see in later generations, militant groups shelled the Israeli god of law. It was still a shell in the later sense, and unless it hit it crookedly, the damage caused was very limited.

The constant attacks and harassment made the morale of the Russian army almost lower to the lowest level, and the Russian army, which had already lost more than 7 percent and whose morale was at the bottom, did not collapse as Wu Jian thought, but because of the threat of death. Bottomed out, this is Wu Jian's miscalculation, he just saw through the guò battle report and binoculars that the Russian army did not lose confidence, or held Kyakhta firmly, if he has someone in his hands, even if it is three or four hundred, maybe he will be able to take this important town of the Russian army.

It's already past four o'clock in the morning, and the morning star is about to rise, which is the darkest hour before dawn. A day is about to pass, and there are still 2 days to go, as long as the Russian army does not come to reinforce the army, Wu Jian has enough confidence to hold the trading city. The two Cossack divisions, which had become lost dogs and did not have any ability to attack at all, simply could not continue to fight. Even with his current strength, he continued to attack and harass for two days. If the 1st Division in the Northwest arrives first, Kyakhta can also be taken. This occupies the initiative and perfectly completes the strategic deployment.

But without waiting for Wu Jian to be happy, in the northwest part, at the position of an observation post on the periphery, three red signal flares suddenly emitted. It was already 25 kilometers away from Kyakhta, and it was also in order to expand the observation range, especially the river, that a special guard was set up, in order to detect the enemy troops coming from the river as soon as possible, and from a certain distance, the enemy troops coming up from the river were faster and most likely to pose a threat.

"The river is coming!" Wu Jian looked in that direction, muttered in his mouth, then picked up the phone and dialed a number, at this time, the number of fighters with combat effectiveness in the buying and selling city is only about 100 people, and about half of them have been injured by different Cheng dù, and there are no more than 60 people who can really carry out special operations in the field, and more than half of them have participated in the attack and vigilance, and the only reserve team left, less than 20 people, are all officers in the special forces, or promoted from a battalion, Those who have become officers in the second battalion, or those who have been promoted on the spot with outstanding expressions, although the second battalion has not yet completed the elimination, these officers are basically qualified special combat soldiers.

This is the last mobile force, for Wu Jian, there is a special purpose, but now, the critical moment has finally arrived, there must be movement on the river, we must figure out what it is, a team of 20 people, set off quickly, they will advance 5 kilometers on foot, in the turning part of the river, field observation, who is coming to increase the number of troops, what is the strength, if you have the ability to eat them, you will eat them, if you don't have the ability, you have to figure out a qiē, this team will carry a portable radio station, You can exchange the number of jù with this on the spot.

The team was sent out, they all had a good rest, 5 kilometers off-road, for them, that is, thirty or forty minutes, the observation post over there, if the ship is found, there will be at least a certain margin, in this way, the ship coming from 20 kilometers, or even 25 kilometers, within thirty or forty minutes, do not want to reach that position.

Running fast, in the field, but like a cheetah, 20 figures blended into the darkness, and on the river, it was bright, the Russian army turned on the searchlight, and the fleet composed of more than 20 ships marched quickly in the center of the river, the river in Kyakhta is not too deep, and the traffic capacity is limited, but the small gunboats and flat-bottomed sand boats are the most suitable for here.

Wang Taijie lay in the grass, after 40 minutes of long-distance running, his head was slightly steaming, his body was tired, but his movements were very gentle, made a comprehensive protection and concealment, the whole person was integrated into the grass, only then took an observation glass, observing the river, the location here is excellent, the river is turning here, the boats must reduce their speed, but on both sides, there are dense woods and bushes, even if you approach, you can't see anything, let alone on the river.

On the river about ten kilometers away from his position in front of him, there were more than 20 ships of all sizes, flat-bottomed sand boats were carrying these soldiers, and many Russian soldiers were standing on the deck, densely packed together, at least one large flat-bottomed sand boat, to accommodate about 200 soldiers, 11 ships, that is, 2,200 people, plus 12 things that were obviously gunboats, it was obvious that this fleet carried thousands of people.

With a wave of his hand, the other fighters in the group obediently dispersed, and the light machine guns and mortars also began to prepare.

A group of 20 people formed an attack camp, but then, Wang Taijie really observed, only to notice that the Russian army is very vigilant, any wind and grass will cause the muzzle and machine gun to turn, just now, the bushes on the bank of the river somehow, there was a burst of movement, ushered in a series of dense machine gun bullets, I don't know if it was a dog or a wolf, and was directly killed.

Wang Taijie carefully counted the gunboats on the opposite side, 12 ships, each of them, has a 120 artillery, the Russian artillery is not very good, but the caliber of 120 is real, the artillery on the ship, than the army's artillery, is more deterrent, at least, the ability to move is a strong advantage, in addition to the front of the artillery and machine guns, there is enough protection.

In addition to artillery, there are 3 naval 20mm machine guns and 6 7.9mm Makqin machine guns, for the army, it can be called large-caliber artillery and densely arranged machine guns, on the ship, but the arrangement is quite concentrated, Wang Taijie does not think that his sudden attack, how much threat can be posed to these gunboats, even if the artillery is not used, the well-trained naval machine guns can make 20 of them completely hate here.

12 gunboats escorted 11 troop carriers, which was rampant and domineering on the river, no wonder it was so arrogant, Wang Taijie carefully counted the personnel on the gunboats and troop transport sand boats, and finally got a rough number, between 3300 and 4200 people.

This is the increase in the strength of the Russian army for Kyakhta, which greatly increases the strength of Kyakhta, and by the way, it has also increased 12 gunboats, which are 12 guns of more than 120mm, which is definitely not good news for the trading city, and even bad news.

Wu Jian was pondering, Wang Taijie did not act rashly, this is correct, 20 people may be nothing before, but now it is the only mobile force, on the unobstructed riverbank, with gunboats armed to the teeth, and even preliminary armor, 40mm mortars against 120mm cannons, ordinary light machine guns, against 20mm machine guns, this is definitely not an order of magnitude thing, temporarily avoid the edge, and figure out how much strength the other party has is correct.

What to do, the comers are not good, there are more than 3,000 troops, Kyakhta has regained the initiative on the battlefield, as for the 12 gunboats, it is a big scourge, the trading city is still two or three miles away from the river, the machine guns and Makqin on the gunboats are impossible to threaten the trading city, but the 120mm heavy artillery can pass through this area lightly, the worst, 12 gunboats will form a relatively solid position on the shore, the Russian army fights from the river, than in Kyakhta, at least half of it, Even the original 75 guns could be transported, reducing the distance of the artillery by half, and the threat and lethality produced were greater.

What to do, the problem began to linger in Wu Jian's heart, it was easy to sink two divisions of the enemy, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and there were 12 more powerful gunboats, in the inland river systems of Mongolia and Russia, this is definitely a big killer, it is difficult to withdraw from the city defense and hide in the tunnel, although it can be used to kill the Russian army in the city with the help of the tunnel, but the initiative on the battlefield is no longer theirs.
