Liang Lingdong went down, with a platoon of special forces, but Wu Jian set his eyes on the distance, it seems that the Cossacks who came in from last night were just the Cossack horse team, even if they carried, they would not carry heavy artillery, at most field artillery, or disassembled, which was also one of the fundamental reasons why there was no artillery preparation when the first batch of Cossacks were attacked, and the other reason was that the Cossacks knew that the trading city would have resistance, but it would not become a climate, and they didn't expect that the trading city almost had division-level firepower, the Russian division, The number of Makqin holdings of the entire division will not exceed 60, and even in the later stage of World War I, the number of automatic firearms in the Russian army is the lowest among several participating countries.

Empress Cang withdrew the Cossacks, crossed the river, huddled together, and went to Kyakhtu II in a panic, Wu Jian secretly felt a pity, according to the practice of the special forces, if there were about 2,500 troops in this city, take over their defense line, this group of attacking Cossacks, absolutely could not escape, the harassment and machine gun fire along the way, will make them return to the road, full of blood.

It's a pity that the strength of the army is insufficient, even if they are distributed in parallel on the side of the buying and selling city, they have already consumed a lot of troops, and they have no ability to transfer personnel to the past, so they have to give up this opportunity.

The telescope continued to extend, and Kyakhta in the distance seemed to be stunned by the defeat of the Cossack cavalry, and the people near the barracks and on the city walls were also panicked.

On top of the walls of Kyakhta. There were also several Russian officers with binoculars, the commander of the 173rd Division, Andrei, and the commander of the 179th Division, Valenjing, standing on it, although there was no final battle report. But Andrei had already seen that the two regiments responsible for the main attack had at least more than 1,000 people down, which were the elite of the 173rd Division.

"Order, artillery preparation!" Andrei said without hesitation.

Valentin next to him was slightly gloating, but he was also very strange why he bought and sold the city. There will be such a strong resistance, according to the density of fire, at least the appearance of a division. He knew very well the combat effectiveness of the two regiments of the 173rd Division, otherwise it would not have been possible to earn the task of the first attack, and it was only a long time, less than 15 minutes. More than 1,000 people fell in the city. Could it be that a division was stationed in the trading city.

Kyakhta and the trading city are just a water apart, they set off in advance, with the help of the mobility of the Cossacks, quickly rushed to Kyakhta, the Cossacks are very brave, it does not mean that they are stupid, the necessary reconnaissance is still needed, Kyakhta army personnel are not many. But he could monitor the trading city opposite, and he didn't dare to guarantee that there was not a single soldier. However, there is absolutely no large stock team of more than 10,000 people, and it is impossible to even have more than 500 people, and the total number of trading cities is only how big.

The divisional artillery of the 173rd Division began to prepare, because of the fast horses, they carried field artillery, and it was only 75 mm, several tons of field artillery, which could be divided into different parts, although the horses could not be carried, but they could pass through the guò carriage, although a little slower than the speed of the troops, but it was acceptable and could keep up with the speed of the troops.

Wu Jiantong guò telescope clearly see the opposite side of the action, especially under the city of Kyakhta, the artillery is being assembled, the portable field gun is light in weight, cut can be divided and combined, the firing range is of course not far, it is impossible to put it in Kyakhta, you can hit the trading city, it can be said that the action is unobstructed, look at their artillery assembly action, the training is good, but there is a certain gap with the artillery in Baotou, it is estimated that it takes 20 minutes to complete the assembly, counting the test gun and the selection in place, at least 25 minutes of time. Time waits for no one, I hope Liang Lingdong can do it and persuade everyone to go out.

The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny, Liang Lingdong is the highest person in charge of the Baotou Chamber of Commerce in the trading city, but he is not the chief of those merchants, he can't order them, although the arrival of the Cossacks made them nervous, but after repelling the attack of the Russian devils, they actually let these businessmen have a fluke mentality, just repelled the attack of these Russian devils, they were safe, Liang Lingdong tried his best to persuade him, but it didn't have much effect, and even some businessmen were slow to sort out.

As time passed, Liang Lingdong became a little angry, and began to order the soldiers to use guns to catch up, forcing some people out of the trading city, which was about to become a battlefield, and they couldn't let these Chinese stay here.

But no matter what, it was too late, suddenly, three signal flares shot into the sky, not only Wu Jian saw that the cannon port on the opposite side had been opened, and the artillerymen had made the final preparations, but also several other observation posts were the same, the first round of test artillery was about to start, and the shelling was just around the corner.

"Manager Liang, we can't wait any longer, it's going to be a cannon soon!"

"Shoot!" Liang Lingdong's heart twitched violently, artillery fire is a big killer for anyone, but before he could continue to persuade, in the distance, above the Russian position, there was a whistling sound, and the first round of test artillery began.

The roar came, the first round of test artillery did not hit a few in the trading city, but the gate representing the departure, almost closed, the soldiers helplessly looked at the remaining more than 500 people, they were looking at them hesitantly, I don't know, what to do at this moment, when the first round of artillery stopped, the second round gradually extended towards the trading city, the scythe of death, once again waved. It was only when the shells landed and there was a roar in all directions that the merchants panicked.

Lie down, lie down, don't run around, the soldiers shouted as loudly as possible, but the people present were ordinary people, who had no professional training at all, the only thing they thought of was the chaotic running, whistling shells, whether it was a soldier or a civilian, one by one, the shells exploded in the trading city, killing more than 1,800 Cossacks, all of a sudden, the fierceness of the Cossacks, completely stimulated, more than 50 shells of different calibers, frantically bombarded the trading city, It doesn't matter what military and civilian it is, in the eyes of the Russian army, these are all enemies, and slaughtering the city is the only idea.

The panicked people, who have no regard for their belongings, panicked, especially the shells fell among them, several civilians were hit by artillery fire, and finally died, the panic really broke out, before, the soldiers have been saying, this is the battlefield, this will become a place of life and death, they are all very taken for granted, the days of peace are too long, they are all merchants, they are traders, they will be exploited by bandits, but Kyakhtun, because of the Russian army, the bandits will not come, although they will be affected by Panbo, but it is much safer.

However, at this time, when the Russian army showed their fangs, they realized that what they relied on in the past was only the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, and at this moment, they couldn't help them with anything at all, and they could only watch death slowly approach.

Liang Lingdong's heart was dripping blood, even if he did comprehensive protection, the soldiers in the front, with the help of anti-artillery holes and fortifications, were unscathed, but in the rear, the soldiers responsible for evacuating the people and protecting the people died 8 and wounded 12 at once, which is equivalent to one-twentieth of the personnel being reduced at once.

You know, when I killed 1800 Cossacks before, there were only 3 wounded, or minor injuries, these people are not ordinary soldiers, they are special forces, they are excellent fighters carefully selected with a lot of resources, but they did not die on the battlefield, to be exact, they died in the chaos in the rear, this is no matter what, he can't accept it, looking at the soldiers who protect the people with their lives, and even protect him, tears of remorse fell.

"Manager Liang, we can't wait any longer!" The platoon commander responsible for protecting Liang Lingdong watched the robes, under the artillery fire, with their meager bodies, when they resisted the artillery fire, their hearts were dripping blood, soldiers like them should not die here, they should die on the battlefield.

But at this moment, they have no choice, let these people go, this is impossible, whether it is the special forces in Baotou or the ordinary troops, the first point of education is to serve the country and the people, and even sacrifice themselves, even if it is instinctive, they can't make an order to give up, in the face of the scattered people, in the face of panic and despair, a few fighters can't play any role at all, they let the people to a safe place while protecting the people, if it weren't for the fact that the Russian artillery fire is not too dense, And without large-caliber heavy artillery, I am afraid that the number of casualties will continue to rise.

After the cannonballs of a base number were fired, a total of 600 shells fell in the trading city, of which more than ninety percent hit the houses, most of the reinforced concrete structure of the houses, excellent resistance to artillery fire, the rest of the houses, but were beaten to pieces, the Russian artillery in the telescope, is cleaning and cooling, with the help of this interval, Wu Jian understood the casualties below.

The phone calls all over the trading city, so that Wu Jian received the battle damage report at the first time, just a round of shelling, a total of 20 soldiers were killed and wounded, almost more than 200 people, were killed and injured by the shells, at this time the corpses were flying, at this time, let them withdraw, it is no longer realistic, the other party's artillery fire, can extend the attack, if the other party thinks of it, go out, but it is a dead end.

Wu Jian dialed Liang Lingdong's phone and said straight to the point: "Take them to the tunnel!" “

"But, Camp Commander Wu, they haven't been identified, just in case!" Liang Lingdong had not yet made a decision, and the platoon commander heard the sound of the phone and raised objections.

"I don't care what happens, I just know that their people, our soldiers in Baotou, can pay a lot in the face of the common people, do you want to watch them being slaughtered by the Russian devils? I've decided, take them down! Wu Jian's words were loud and said: "As long as we are here, the people will always be placed in the safest place, I believe in them!" (To be continued......) R1292
