Chapter 541: Everything is ready

With the efforts of the staff, one by one the armored vehicles with the superstructure removed, welded together with the new upper protection, because of the material processing, Yang Yuanzhao did not choose which oblique layout, or the traditional, the easiest to process style, and even rough and somewhat uneven, and it is not a strong tank, just a temporary armored vehicle.

Perhaps, after this war, with the help of the industry that already has roots in the northwest, simple armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles can be made, but with the strength of Baotou, it is not possible to put the cannon on the tank, let alone the larger self-propelled artillery, but in this era, it is enough to be heavy and can withstand more than 100 mm artillery.

The shallow adjustment continues, under the noses of the Russians, with the help of invisible underground fortifications, Baotou began to continuously mobilize forces, if this is a game, the Russian army with a map will find that the small red dots symbolizing the enemy appear intensively on the front line, but unfortunately, there is no observation of special forces, no radar display, only by the naked eye and telescopes, the position in the northwest seems to be as usual.

Time passed slowly, a full 10 days, after the trenches were dug in the northwest, especially after a large number of excavations, there was no movement, and the Russian army only felt that it might be the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, in order to increase the position of reinforcements, but they didn't know that this was already the northwest army preparing fangs, seemingly calm, but it had an infinite crisis.

The time has finally come to attack, and the attacking team has completed its preparations, 40 modified armored vehicles, all of which lead to the underground passage of Guò. All are in a state of activation, and the underground fortifications of the city of buying and selling. Huge and complex, even in the face of Kyakhta's direction. There is an outlet that has never been opened, and it is possible to cross the Kyakhta river from the ground.

This is the only attack exit left after the design, and it is precisely for the possible war against Russia, here is an absolutely closed exit, not only the upper layer of 3 meters deep soil layer, has not been moved, the lower layer has more than 4 meters of stone slabs, the protection is very tight. As long as it's not unlucky enough for someone to dig here, I'm not afraid that I'll find out at all.

This is also the only underground fortification that can be used for attacking, as long as the stone slab is extracted, and then the three-meter-thick layer of soil is blown away with directional explosives, revealing 12 roads that are large enough to pass 5 meters long, wide and high, and the direction is around Kyakhta, which is far from the Kyakhta city wall. Probably only 800-1000 meters away.

Now the Russian army in Kyakhta has formed a group, and there are not many stations in the city of Kyakhta. There is only a small number of fixed defenses of about three or four thousand, relying on Kyakhta, forming a protective system. It stretched to an area of 10 kilometers, where 6 divisions were stationed together. It is the entire front, the densest part. Beyond these six divisions, that is, the artillery positions and the general headquarters, from 75 to 120, to 150, 180, in turn distributed within a range of less than 10 kilometers, surrounded by infantry, according to the arrangement of the Russian army, is the strongest part.

This assault, the location of the 12 exits, exactly distributed in the overlapping part of the two divisions, is not only the strongest place in the trench group, but also the place where the soldiers are most dense, which is a coincidence, but it was used by the staff officers according to their own strength and the strength of the armored vehicles, and it happened to be an excellent position for attack.

Not to mention that in the eyes of the Russian army, in the eyes of the soldiers of this era, according to the usual theory of war, such a dense place, with the protection of trenches, is originally safe, unless it is a decisive impact with a large corps, plus the coverage of heavy artillery, it is possible to capture, but in the face of the Northwest Army that does not play cards according to common sense, this is the best direction of assault.

The staff officers have spent a week carefully considering all the possibilities, trying to reduce all the variables as much as possible to a very low level, and all the possibilities will be analyzed according to the characteristics of the battlefield, and even with the help of Germany, the staff officers have most of the resumes of the Russian commanders on the opposite side.

In combat, habits are common, unless they are famous generals with impermanence, other commanders can analyze their focus and expertise from past experience, and when intelligence and analysis reach a certain level, it can almost be called a complete omission.

In addition to the staff officers are busy, others are also busy, the observers in the special forces, the surveyors in the artillery, they jointly draw a map of the opposite side, accurate to within meters, and according to the distribution of the other side, the drawn area, almost every 10 meters, is a marking line, these marking lines and numbers, have long been provided to the artillery, enough to guide the firing of artillery, these areas, have been accurate to the extreme.

The Russian army is still in a daze, they don't know that the Grim Reaper has enveloped them, and in the situation that they are accustomed to thinking that the defense in the northwest is stronger than the attack, and the two sides are only temporarily opposed, the scythe of death has been hung on their necks.

Today's weather is good, very windy and sunny, into dusk, but there are a lot of clouds, for ordinary people, this is not a good weather, low clouds, people feel a trace of depression, but for the raiding Northwest Army, this is a good weather, the night is deep, because it is the beginning of the month, most of the moon is blocked by the planet under its feet, not emitting enough light, just a crescent moon, in the sky, it is cloudy weather, although dry, the visibility is not high, it looks like an ordinary Northwest Army position, Underground is frantically mobilizing, and all the troops are beginning to prepare in place.

From the 6 divisions, the strongest fighters were drawn, the number was not much, about 8,000 people, all of them chose better tactics, and their bodies were also quite strong, they were all the best in the armed off-road, and when they were training, they were all in the forefront, and their body and running ability were quite good.

Modified armored vehicles, their maximum speed is 40 kilometers, but on the battlefield, it is impossible to run at full speed, but the minimum speed will not be less than 15 kilometers per hour, otherwise, when the opponent's artillery reacts, when the attack is covered, it is a little dangerous, high speed and change, it is the best weapon to avoid artillery fire, even if it is the armor of the armored car, it can resist about 100 mm artillery, but occasionally drill into the track, it is not fun.

This part of the infantry is specially selected to keep up with the footsteps of the armored vehicles after the armored vehicles attack, and what they need to do is to use the gaps cleared by the armored vehicles and gradually extend them inward, so as to achieve the greatest results.

On the front line, several division commanders looked at their watches in their hands, the moment when the attack began was 11 o'clock in the evening, this moment, is one of the most fatigued moments for ordinary people, the reason why they did not choose between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning is because according to the weather forecast, there may be a rain in the early morning, the clouds are already thick, and the humidity is beginning to thicken.

The rain has little impact on the war, but the muddy environment and complex ground will greatly reduce the effect of the armored vehicle, and even for the infantry is a great test, Cai Yi plan, most of the armored vehicles, must hold on to about an hour, that is, break through 15 kilometers, into the depths of the Russian army, so as to maximize the division and encirclement of the Russian army, and achieve the greatest results.

The night is deep, and in the grassland, unknown birds are chirping, and occasionally some frogs can be heard, showing peace and calm. Cai Ye stood in the command post, the radio waves were slowly transmitted in the silent night, and on the periphery of the entire Russian position, in addition to the blocking position, there were also a large number of observation posts to observe the situation of the Russian army and ensure that the enemy was attacked at the most sudden speed.

Baotou's well-developed radio, plus a specific channel, not to mention that the Russian army does not have a radio, even if there is a radio, it is impossible to find these radio waves, 40 radio stations, more than 100 relevant personnel, responsible for receiving radio, the intelligence on each point is summarized into the command headquarters, such a comprehensive and unobstructed observation and command, has allowed the northwest to know itself and know the enemy, the form of war is changing, the battlefield environment is changing, but some war theories and philosophies will never change.

Cai Yi's face was relatively calm, according to the information fed back from the surrounding observation posts, as usual, the opposing Russian army did not have the slightest defense, and most of the artillery had already entered the protection, which was the result of the wisdom of the Russian army in the past three or four months, preventing it from being destroyed by large-caliber 203 mm artillery fire at night, and the artillery fire covered by the 203 artillery cage all entered the bunker, which was a full range of anti-artillery bunkers.

The Russian soldiers on the front line have also entered the trenches or slept in tents, and less than one-fifth of the personnel left on the front line are already the best chance.

Time passed minute by minute, every minute was like a hammer in the heart, finally, 11 o'clock arrived, Cai Ye picked up the red phone, dialed the artillery, and then issued a series of orders to the phone, the voice in the telephone line meeting, quickly transmitted, the general offensive began.

Directly in the crypt, not even pushed to the ground, 20 203 began to tilt artillery fire into the distance, and the faster preparation of 155 and 108, also in the night, opened their own roar, countless fires soared into the sky, and the target was the calm Russian camp, they would be responsible for the first wave of attacks, that is, to provide cover for the assault of armored vehicles, but also to surprise the Russian positions, to eliminate those who were outside the range of the original 203 guns, but now shrouded in the range of Russian artillery.
