The armored division is Wang Sirui's real killer weapon, and even if the number of artillery on the Chinese Empire's side is inferior to that of the Russian army, what can it do? The Russian army's artillery mobility is very poor, and the artillery of all countries in the world can only rely on animal power to carry artillery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the tanks with the ability to maneuver against the sky, this kind of artillery that can rely only on animal power is a bit insufficient, not to mention, while equipping the three armored divisions with a large number of trucks, the artillery units are also equipped with a lot of trucks.

Small-caliber artillery, equipped with a truck for every four guns, the artillery can be carried directly onto the truck, and some ammunition can be put in the spare space, and if you squeeze it, you can also sit some people, although it is not possible to let all people sit on it, but its mobility has also increased several times compared with before.

Besides, don't forget that there are also those large-caliber guns, large-caliber guns can't be carried on the car, so they can only be linked to the tow hook behind the car, and the truck compartment can also be loaded with some shells and one or two small-caliber guns, back and forth such a group, basically can ensure that all artillery has a car to sit.

In terms of quantity and caliber, the artillery of the Chinese Empire is not superior to the Russian artillery, but the mobility is their biggest killer weapon, so if it is really done, who wins and who loses has to be another matter.

The observation group organized by the Great Powers had already been prepared, and they had been waiting in Tianjin for almost a month, but they still had not received any notice from the Chinese Empire.

Just yesterday, they finally received a notice that they would send troops to the front line today to observe.

Although they only went to the front line in the name of observation, it was the front line after all, and the danger factor still existed. Therefore, the countries did not send real senior officers to lead the team to the front, on the contrary, the countries seemed to have negotiated a good agreement, and the highest official rank was a lieutenant colonel, and most of the rest were mainly lieutenants.

However, the Chinese Empire did not pay attention, for them, whoever came was the same, as long as they could pass on the situation here.

Once the news reaches the countries, it is conceivable that the armies of various countries will also start a more fierce military competition, and the outbreak of world war will be a little earlier.

Although the earlier the world war broke out, the more unfavorable it was for the Chinese Empire, as of now, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Mongolia have not been recovered, and they are still in the hands of the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty.

And now that the great powers have gradually shown their fangs, perhaps, after the outbreak of the world war, he will have time to recover those territories that have not yet returned.

There were about 200 members in the delegation of the great powers, with an average of less than 20 people per country, but in fact Britain, France, the United States, and Germany occupied 150 places, and the rest were representatives of Italy, Austria, Japan, and other countries.

On this day, they finally saw the 'dream truck', and a day later, although the excitement of the first sight had passed, they were still secretly amazed at this new object, which could continue to drive, and it was not bad at all compared to those cars in China.

Even before they arrived on the battlefield, these trucks made a deep impression on the representatives of the great powers, and even if they didn't say it, governments could think of its importance to the military.

……

'Boom~~~'

A huge cloud of dirt smoke rose into the air, scattered and scattered nearby, fragmented shrapnel flew in all directions, and a violent explosion was deafening.

I don't know how many times this has been, the Russians seem to know their plan, in the past week, the Russian army has been constantly provoking the Royal Army, but because they have not received orders, those Royal Army soldiers stationed on the border can only endure and endure, and at the same time report the situation here, waiting for the decision of their superiors.

The Russians are very 'measured', and their provocative behavior is also very technical, and they will not provoke for the sake of provocation, and since this week, an average of five or six shells have fallen into the territory of the Chinese Empire every day, and similarly, more shells will fall into the Songhua River, which seems to be showing off the excellent technology of the Russian artillery.

And the shells, like Russian soldiers standing there, raised their proud heads, and sneered at the Royal Army soldiers on the other side, as if to say, look at our shooting skills, can you compare? Don't think that if you are a little stronger in the past few years, you will always be in the eyes of no one, we Russians will always be stronger than you.

The shells that fell into the territory of the Chinese Empire were not far from the Songhua River, and the farthest was only 500 meters from the river, and most of the remaining shells were within 300 meters.

Previously, the Chinese Empire also sent people to negotiate with the Russian army, but the response of the Russian army was very annoying, they believed that the Songhua River was a river shared by the two countries, and they were conducting exercises on their own territory, as for the shells falling into the territory of the Chinese Empire, they could only apologize, and asked the Chinese Empire to restrain the people and the army, and forbid them to approach the Songhua River, so as not to be injured by mistake.

This Nima's, this is obviously bullying people, and the staff officers who went to negotiate even wanted to pull out their guns and kill the other party on the spot, but in the end they endured it.

The soldiers below also couldn't bear it anymore and asked for battle, but the news of these requests for war sank into the sea when they reached the top, and there was no response at all.

For a week, instead of sending people to negotiate for the second time, the Chinese Empire ordered the troops not to approach the river, which also made the soldiers angry, and everyone else was fucking beaten to their homes, and they were not allowed to resist, or even allowed to make a sound, are they all pigs?

But no matter how the soldiers below shouted and were angry, the above always remained calm. It's just that no one knows that Wang Shuqi is under no less pressure than anyone else.

On March 10, 1908, the 103rd Panzer Division arrived at Ujur Sushu, a border town not too far from Mongolia and Russia, and at the same time, the 101st Panzer Division had arrived at the remote area of the Daxing'an Mountains, about 50 kilometers north of Murowe, three days earlier, which was an endless no-man's land, where the troops moved on a large scale and would not be discovered by anyone, and the 101st Division was also a covert march and did not attract anyone's attention at all.

The only unpleasant thing was that the internal roads in the Great Khing'an Mountains were in extremely poor condition, and the trailers could not drive soon after entering the Great Khing'an Mountains, so in desperation, the 101st Division had to order the tanks to get off the trucks and all the trailers to return to standby.

The 102nd Division is located dozens of kilometers north of Xilin Gol, Mongolia is not monolithic, some people want to use the help of the Russians to gain independence, but there are also some people who want to continue to follow the Chinese Empire, and these people are more long-term, they see that after independence, Mongolia will be completely surrounded, although there is power, but there is no right to speak in the outside world.

In addition, there is no harm in following the Chinese Empire, on the contrary, they can also enjoy some due treatment, so Mongolia is also divided into three factions, one is a resolute independent, one is a voter of the center, and the other is a neutral faction, which does not support or oppose it, and no one can be offended if they follow whom.

The three armored divisions were all in place, and when the news reached Wang Shuqi, the heart that had been holding on tightly was finally put down.

As for who fired the first shot, this Wang Shuqi didn't particularly care, because under Wang Sirui's poison, these senior officers didn't care about these, as long as they could win, then if you said that it was the first shot fired by the other party, it was the other party's shot.

Moreover, the Russians had already sent dozens of shells to the territory of the Chinese Empire, but the Russians had righteously warned the Chinese Empire to retreat farther, and it would not be good not to be injured by mistake at that time.

With this kind of obvious provocation, do you really think that Wang Shuqi will not be angry? He is just waiting for three armored divisions, as long as these three armored divisions are in place, he doesn't care whether the Russians are provoking or not, in short, it's just a word, don't coax, just do it.

"Inform the Second Army that it can start operations, and also order the 101st Armored Division and the 103rd Armored Division to advance according to the plan, and the two divisions will advance eastward after capturing Chita and join the main force of the First Army." Wang Shuqi ordered directly.

This operation was not only the main force of the First Army, but also the Second Army was assigned a lot of tasks.

The main task of the Second Army is to take Mongolia in one fell swoop with the assistance of the 102nd Armored Division, and then go north through Mongolia to occupy Irkutsk, completely cut off the retreat of the Russian army, and at the same time, block the eastward support of the Russian army's reinforcements.

Regardless of the relatively large territory of Russia, if they really wanted to support, they would not be able to stop it by relying only on the strength of the two armies, the First Army and the Second Army.

But in fact, they only need to occupy Irkutsk to do this, and most of the regions north of the Russian Far East are barren and uninhabited, full of primeval forests, not to mention army marches, and even Orions are reluctant to go there.

Many cities in later generations, in fact, were small towns, most of which were relocated later, and now, although it cannot be said that there are no people for thousands of miles, at least after entering the territory of Russia, as long as you do not follow the supply line to the south, it is normal to walk for a day without meeting a person.

And the Russians are not stupid, large areas of land are very good, but there is no transportation, what are you going to do there? Historically, it was not until the completion of the Far Eastern Railway that the Russian Far East began to develop in earnest, and before that, the Russian army in the Far East was several times larger than the population.

Now, there are only a few dozen Russian inhabitants in the Far East, and if it were not for the Russian government's compulsory order to live here, the ghosts would have been willing to come here.

After receiving Wang Shuqi's order, the 101st and 103rd armored divisions took the lead in attacking, and then the Second Army also began to attack Mongolia. (To be continued.) )
