2,000 kilometers away from the trading city, across the river from Kyakhta, the twilight sky, to this border town cast a light veil, in the night, the river appeared one by one, they rushed directly into the river, and then quietly towards the trading city.

In about 5 minutes, the river was crossed, and hundreds of people slowly advanced towards the trading city, probably before entering the city, stopped, a few lights flashed in front of them, and a tall one stepped forward from the other party's hands, got a few drawings, and then quietly, entered the trading city, and according to the instructions on the map, entered one room after another.

Late at night, the representative office of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce of the trading city, the lights are magnificent, the trading city, is a commercial city at the junction of Mongolia and Russia, across the river from Kyakhta, it can be said that it is an important town in Mongolia, here, gathering major chambers of commerce, but there are not many local personnel, a total of almost 6,000 people, but it has more than 400 large and small shops, it can be said that it is very prosperous, the small city is not very large, that is, more than a kilometer of the radius, as early as a few years ago, with the help of the strength of the Chamber of Commerce, The Baotou Chamber of Commerce purchased more than 100 pieces of land in the trading city, and built various types of chambers of commerce, these chambers of commerce do not look too big, that is, the appearance of three houses, but the whole body is a reinforced concrete structure, the outer wall may only have one brick, but the inner wall, but at least double-layered, with a frame and reinforced concrete structure, these can at least resist the direct fire of large-caliber artillery, may not be as good as a permanent defense, but it is not an ordinary artillery fire can destroy.

The most critical thing is underneath these reinforced concrete premises. It's a dense tunnel. The revolutionary tunnel warfare gave Yang Yuanzhao a lot of fresh ideas, so he made a special trip here to assemble several large machines. Just within the room, the excavation of Guò, at least more than 20 kilometers of tunnels, connected the entire shop pù of the city, and even the entire underground. It is a tunnel with a three-tiered system.

The city is located on the border between Russia and Mongolia, and after the city, the entire Mongolian steppe is almost unobstructed. The Russian army starting from Kyakhta can drive straight in, if it is not resisted here, it will be very troublesome, although the Russian Far Eastern Front has declined, but under a certain distance, Russia is a big country. Moreover, it is a large country with a large population and relatively developed military strength, and he is committed to building an army in the northwest. After his efforts, the Northwest Army has become an army, and even has the upper hand in the confrontation with the Beiyang Army, but the Beiyang Army is the Beiyang Army, the Russian Army is the Russian Army, and the Russian Army is the Russian Army. Above the whole world, it can only be called a second-rate army. But China is also very weak, the previous Beiyang Army. The evaluation in foreign countries, basically, is still not in the stream.

After all, Mongolia is not the territory of the northwest, he controls the palace and the hands of the living Buddha, they have been promoting Mongolian independence, the small actions of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce, just small actions, a large number of tunnels have been formed underneath, in the above-ground part, not much has changed, plus in other chambers of commerce, the mobilized personnel, a total of combatants, less than 200 people, especially today, I also received a notice from the base camp that there may be 2 Cossack infantry divisions approaching.

Liang Lingdong mobilized all the personnel as soon as possible, and in the face of many personnel, Liang Lingdong's face was slightly excited: "There are two Cossack cavalry divisions of the Russian army that are coming. ”

Everyone was shocked, those who can be stationed here are not ordinary people, they have deep feelings for Mongolia and the northwest, they are very clear that Mongolia has been making small moves, the northwest is very vigilant, but there is no action, the key is that the division is nameless, but now, with the independence of Mongolia, under the general righteousness of unification, the northwest finally has a reason to send troops, the northwest is very strong, everyone who has lived in the northwest, or has lived in the northwest, will know that the development of the entire northwest is leapfrogging, In a haunting way, almost every few days, there's a new change in the entire Northwest, which makes everyone willing to pay for the Northwest.

Most of these people who came to the northwest came from a hard life, and they knew very well what was happening in their place and what kind of changes were being made, but the northwest was born out of thin air, which made earth-shaking changes and let them live the good life they dreamed of, and this good day needs to be guarded by everyone.

Mongolia has been a part of China since ancient times, and the encirclement of Mongolia is to protect China's territorial integrity, but what will Russia do, they are very clear that Mongolia has become independent and has sent an invitation to Russia, and 2 Cossack cavalry divisions are here because of this, they will not be reasonable, but they will enter the trading city, which is just a merchant's city, but with 200 escorts, facing the opposite side, Kyakhta armed to two divisions of the Russian army, which is not an opponent at all, in this case, It is very difficult to defend the trading city, but it must be defended, first of all, we must give the chambers of commerce in the trading city enough time to escape, otherwise the army will burn as soon as the jade is burned, you know, the ferocity of the Russian army has been verified countless times in the past

"Is it already decided?" Wu Zhuoqun asked seriously.

"Just connected with the special forces personnel, they have entered the underground fortifications, and their scouts have found signs of a large number of horses moving up to 60 miles away!"

The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce attending the meeting, their hearts sank, 60 miles, only 30 kilometers, in this night, in the direction of Russia, such a large number of horse teams came, what the hell, the result is self-evident, at the speed of fast horses, less than an hour, they can reach Kyakhta, late at night, the Russian army may not attack directly, but it is difficult to guarantee, in the wilderness, they will definitely not be able to run far.

"Immediately inform the chambers of commerce, put people first, leave Kyakhta immediately, for us, everything else is secondary, the key is human life."

"But Mr. Liang, can we run away?"

"I take the armed men, as well as the newly arrived Northwest Army personnel, responsible for blocking them in the trading city, not to mention anything else, tonight and tomorrow during the day, there should be no problem, you have enough time to escape, of course, you can't run directly, go through the tunnel, we will open a tunnel, the exit of the tunnel is in the back of a hill 20 kilometers away, where to go, you move freely."

The Baotou Chamber of Commerce began to act, the status of the entire trading city is very high, Liang Lingdong is the chief steward of the Chamber of Commerce, basically, everyone knows him, since he said that there is danger, many chambers of commerce have begun to retreat, the fastest, is the northwest and the northwest has a huge influence of this group, they directly sealed the property, with personnel and things to carry, quickly left, this group of people accounted for about one-third of the total number of people in the trading city.

Among the remaining personnel, except for a third of the 2000 who were unwilling to leave, the speed of retreat was very slow, and merchants were merchants, and their belongings were difficult to give up, in this case, the speed of retreat could be imagined.

About an hour later, most of the merchants had not completely left, there was movement on the opposite side, a large group of horse teams galloped wildly on the field, where is the Russian-controlled area, although there are scattered horse thieves, but in large groups, there are really none, and no Chinese horse bandits dare to run to the Russian side to wreak havoc.

At this moment, everyone understood that a large number of Russian horse teams had come to Kyakhta, and their purpose was unknown, but the merchants were always afraid of death, and God knows what these fierce foreign devils would come to do.

Liang Lingdong and Wu Zhuoqun were a little nervous, and Wu Jian, the commander of the second battalion of the special forces, was also nervous, the night is a natural protection, and they have not yet completed the complete deployment, once the Cossacks rush in, because of a large number of merchants and civilians, they will have to fight head-on with the Russian army.

Fortunately, the Kyakhta on the opposite side lit up the lights, and it seemed that someone was answering them into Kyakhta.

has been staring at the opposite side, without the slightest movement, the Russian army seems to be a little tired, directly into Kyakhta to rest, there is no sign of attacking the trading city, which makes Liang Lingdong breathe a sigh of relief, and began to increase the intensity of retreat, this time even the remaining one-third of the personnel, also saw that the situation was not good, began to retreat, smarter, take a little soft, retreat directly, only those who are really greedy for money, retreat very slowly.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning, only less than four-fifths of the retreat was made, and the remaining one-fifth was still slowly packing up his luggage, Liang Lingdong knew that things were going to be bad, so he hurriedly persuaded the personnel who had not completely retreated until now, so that they could leave the soft and run quickly, but unfortunately they were worn out, and they didn't say a few, and they had to wait, they were all their own choices, and they couldn't control it.

The special forces, after entering the position last night, began to arm, they only have 400 people, frontal combat, certainly not the opponent of the Russian army, that is not a war, that is to die, only with the help of geographical advantages, according to Yang Yuanzhao's method, the use of guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, with the method of special warfare, to deal with the Russian army, can the Russian army be fixed here like a nail, this method of hand-to-hand combat, it is definitely not sustainable, and even their range cannot cover the entire trading city, but they have no hesitation, Everyone believes that they are backed by the Northwest, which is enough for them to struggle for the rest of their lives.

When 6 o'clock came, on the side of Kyakhta, the Russian army's military horn began to sound, for a border city like Kyakhta, such a military horn sounded, it is normal, but everyone seems to hear it, this military horn seems to be different from the past, and the horn seems to contain some kind of murderous atmosphere.
