On the Kyakhta side, there was really a movement, within the strong city walls, after a simple rest and recuperation, and a part of the remnants of the 173rd and 179th divisions were reconciled, and it was a patchwork of about 5,000 troops, most of which were soldiers of the later 122nd division, and the 3,600 elites transported by gunboats and flat sand boats were joined by some of the remaining personnel of the 173rd and 179th divisions, of course, all of whom were capable of fighting.

This is also the maximum process that Kyakhta can use, it took 2 hours to do this, by the way, the deputy commander of the 122nd Division, who came with the army, announced the disposition of Valentin and Andrei, they were removed from their posts, detained on the spot, and when the army arrived, they needed to return to Petrograd to deal with it, and they had to go to a military court.

For this, Valentin and Andrei were prepared for a long time, lost their teachers and humiliated the country, lost seventy or eighty percent of the distance, and had not completed the strategic task, and the dismissal was light, and they were also deeply hit by this battle, and they never imagined that the trading city that should have been easily won was like an iron walnut, not only broke their teeth, but also bit them back.

This place, for two people, is a nightmare, if it weren't for the 122nd and 156th divisions did not come up, the gunboats would not be able to go back, they would have followed the gunboats directly, this sadly, they didn't want to stay any longer.

Avdeevich looked excitedly at the soldiers under his command, he is fifty years old this year, after many years, he has reached the position of deputy division commander +, originally, it is unlikely to go further, because there are no vacancies, and now, there are at least two vacancies for division commanders. He came to Kyakhta again for urgent support. As long as Kyakhta is captured, it is extremely possible to go further.

Kyakhta is hard to bite. Avdeevich has a deep understanding, which Valentin and Andrey have proved with facts, after coming to Kyakhta, he read the battle report for the first time, for this, Valentin and Andrey did not hide it, they were dealt with, and the capture of the buying and selling city may be covered up, but now it has been taken over. They also did not want Avdeyevich to follow in his footsteps, this battle mobilized 18 divisions, more than 200,000 men, and the city of trading was the passage and core of Mongolia, and there was no room for failure.

For Avdeevich, the current number of soldiers under his command is much smaller than that of the previous two divisions combined, and far less than the more than 20,000 people of the previous two divisions, and the other side must be unscathed, according to the information obtained from Valentin. The other party's loss is at least more than fifty percent, and even all the members are injured, which means that the other party is also disabled, and the most important thing is that. 12 gunboats, which means 12 guns of 120 guns, because of the network of fire formed by gunboats on the river. They can rest and attack nearby, bringing oppressive and offensive power. Much higher than the previous ones.

Slightly let the soldiers under his command rest for two or three hours, well-trained soldiers. A little rest would have rejuvenated them, and at about 8 o'clock in the day, Avdeevich had them all together, and with a little preparation, it seemed to him that it should not be a problem to take the trading city by storm.

When they were concentrating, there was a commotion from the troops below, it seemed that someone was talking about something, Avdeevich was a little disdainful, in his opinion, the reason for the defeat of the 173rd and 179th divisions was that the other side had some strength, but even more, I am afraid that their military discipline was too lax, Cossacks, these guys who only knew how to drink and ride horses, did they know what the discipline of a modern army was.

Among the many armies in the Far East, the Cossacks were very strong in combat, but they were also cavalry sweeps, not real modern warfare, Avdeevich believed that his fighters were much stronger than them, and were about to give them a lecture, by the way, give them a little color, Avdeyevich was dumbfounded and found that the part belonging to the 173rd and 179th divisions was in a commotion, but not violent, continuous combat attrition, really able to survive, picked into this attack sequence, all ignored life and death, many times the willpower was stronger, The real commotion was still the soldiers from the 122nd Division, who were brought by Avdeyevich.

A large number of soldiers pointed to the air, pointing, and even some exclaimed, stunned beyond words, Avdeevich looked into the air, he was also dumbfounded, because in the air, two huge monsters appeared, looking like cigars, moving quickly in the air, and there were rectangular things hanging underneath, some like cabins.

"What is this?" Avdeevich was already a little unable to care about his soldiers at this time, and the questions that flashed in his heart made him look at this dumbfounded, and took out the telescope, the airship was only in the air at about 2000 meters, only a few kilometers away from Kyakhta, and the high-powered telescope belonging to the commander of the division level was not a defective product made in Russia, it was really imported from Germany.

Soon, the monster was presented in front of Avdeyevich, cigar-like, seemingly made of some kind of cloth, and the cabin below was obvious, and most importantly, there were people on it, was this a hot air balloon? In Avdeyevich's mind, there should be nothing to conquer the sky except for hot air balloons.

Flying things, appeared very early, there was a period of hot air balloon fever in Europe, everyone is proud of flying, even in Petrograd, there are special hot air balloon performances, I heard that Germany made flying airships, but Avdeevich has not seen it, the northwest is inextricably linked with Germany, which is recognized by the world powers, without enough support, a barren and backward China, how can it develop rapidly?

"Don't worry, it's just a means of transport!" Avdeevich recalled, telling the soldiers below what he knew, that hot air balloons need to have special landing sites, not to mention that airships that are so much larger than hot air balloons should only come to transport things.

Avdeyevich's words, initially relieved the excitement of the soldiers below, the airship in the distance seemed to slowly reduce its speed, as if it was flying towards the gunboat, Avdeyevich's combat quality is extremely strong, even if he still doesn't want to believe in his heart, the airship is aggressive, but at this time he has to guard, but unfortunately, Kyakhta is too far away from the gunboat, although the herald was sent to go, but when the airship flew to the top of the gunboat, the herald had not left Kyakhta on horseback.

On the airship, Wang Yong, who was in charge of dropping the bomb this time, looked down a little nervously, because this is at an altitude of 2000 meters, or in high-speed movement, Wang Yong is a platoon commander of the special forces, in terms of personal strength, he is a leader, and the command is not bad, but it is the first time to drop a bomb from the air, 2000 meters altitude, wind and other influences, falling low points, can not be accurate at all, fortunately, Lan Rongzeng once said when he gave the order, it doesn't matter, as long as the gunboat is made, It's okay to no longer approach the vicinity of the Buying and Selling City.

The speed of the airship was very fast, and after speeding up, it took less than 5 minutes to reach the position of the Selenga River from the rear of the trading city, and when it reached the location of the Selenga River, the pilot stopped the engine and began to make simple adjustments to the position of the gunboat below, so that the airship hovered in the air as much as possible.

The huge volume of the airship, as if it was a huge luminous body, it was impossible for anyone not to notice him, its appearance not only caused a commotion in Kyakhta, but even on the gunboat, it also caused great curiosity, many sailors were curious to stand on the deck, pointing at the airship, all thinking about what this thing was for.

The airship went from high speed to lowering, and came directly towards the gunboat, which made the captain of the squadron of the gunboat formation a little surprised, and a trace of ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

The gunboat was on the river, Ben did not turn off the engine, and when the flag informed the other fleets and the roar began to sound, black smoke burst into flames, and the gunboat increased markedly, and began to circle around the river.

But at this time, the airship had already reached the sky above the gunboat, and the pilot hovered the airship, kept a small circle, and enveloped the gunboat below, and then nodded at Wang Yong, signaling that Wang Yong could drop the bomb, and in the face of the first attack of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yong reluctantly ordered: "Start throwing!" ”

Throw something, not mortar shells, that thing is not familiar yet, God knows if it is useful to throw down, at first only a small part of the throw, they are more familiar with grenades, to be exact, is a wooden handle grenade, this thing is simple, large ammunition load, and can be fixed through guò fixed message, determine the time of explosion, is their best choice.

Countless black things, from the two big guys in the sky, were thrown down, Felasovich knew that it was not good, and ordered to avoid these things, fortunately, there are not many of them, it seems that there are only a few dozen, and they are relatively scattered, the gunboats maintain their speed, and they can easily dodge these things, and in the end, none of the things thrown down in the first wave hit the gunboats.

Kyakhta over there, Avdeevyevich also saw the purpose of the airship, and his heart was also tightening, the 12 gunboats were related to his next move, and there was no room for mistakes, but I didn't hear that the airship could attack the ground, why could this airship.

In fact, it is no wonder that Avdeevich was surprised, I am afraid that Yang Yuanzhao, who was far away in Baotou, did not expect that the airship would have such an attack, just like that, under the whim of Lan Rongzeng, the first aerial ground bombing appeared for the first time on the northern border of China, which is also the first demonstration of China's air power on the world stage, China's aviation industry based on the northwest has really started from this day and has become a huge force that can influence the war, from the day it was born, It is leading the trend of world aviation, which has been chased and never surpassed.
