Chapter 563: Doomed to a War

About the small station, before the arrival of the armored train, the first time to inform that Brusinov is, he is on the Chita side, training the troops to reach Chita, this time on the Chita side, a large number of troops are concentrated, but unfortunately most of them are drawn from various places, not to mention the strength of the strength, the key is that there is no joint force.

Brusinov prides himself on being a famous general, and he also knows the truth that if he wants to do a good job, he must first have a sharp weapon, even if the military department and the government are urging him repeatedly, but he has always been here, trying to improve his combat effectiveness as much as possible, but before he finished the training, he received such a bad news, Brusinov almost held back his internal injuries, Rao is very good temperament, he couldn't help but curse wildly, cxx.

It's no wonder that Brusinov was so depressed, from the beginning of the departure, he did not fall to the benefit, not to mention half of the departure, was ordered to return, deprived almost two-thirds of the army, and only took only 6 divisions of troops to the Far East, although he was ordered to concentrate the army, nominally 600,000, but he knew that these 600,000 were probably not much stronger than the previous twenty divisions, and after arriving in Chita, after personally mastering the first-hand information of the front, he knew that there was a big trouble. As an excellent military strategist, not a fool like Samsolov, he knows very well what he is facing, Samsolov did not leave much before, but from the mouths of the survivors, especially those who fled back from the front line, he can almost judge how effective the opposing Northwest Army is, this is not a local warlord, but an elite unit that is more terrible than the regular army.

The Northwest Army is not a rabble as some people thought before, they are rigorously trained, especially the elite of modern military training. The marksmanship is accurate, once you find an opportunity, you will hit it with a shot, what is this, this is completely after a long period of training. Even the best of the best modern army, not to mention the luxuriously arranged weapons and equipment, what does the 203 gun represent, no matter where he got it from, and how it was transported to such a barren place as Kyakhta, this is a great threat to them.

As far as the information is currently available. The density of heavy firepower and automatic fire in the northwest is very large, and there is also a small cannon that can be carried by individual soldiers and quickly transferred, but unfortunately it is only analyzed by guò intelligence and has not received real physical support. In this way, the density of the firepower of the Northwest Army is already terrifyingly outrageous.

In order to fight the Northwest Army, especially in terms of firepower, it could not be less than them, Brusinov had already mobilized artillery from all over the place as much as possible, and even brought in 3 train guns, which could not be placed on land. It can only be placed in the middle of Chita, a few hundred kilometers from Chita to Kyakhta, for train artillery. It's simply insurmountable, what about the 280 mm caliber, thinking that Baotou took the initiative to attack, it was impossible, according to the information he got and the analysis of the opponent on the opposite side, the northwest side. It seems to have made up his mind, and he cowered in defense.

Brusinov inquired deeply about the defense line of the city. From the survivors of the 173rd and 179th divisions at the very beginning, there are other survivors. It's very clear, but even if it's a front formed later, but the accumulation of 4 months, plus the narrative of the Russian army, I'm afraid it's not much worse than the fortress, thinking of this, Brusinov can't help but complain about Samsolov, who has died, it's just adding to the chaos, just kidding, not to mention the loss of the division and humiliation of the country, losing a large number of elites, not to mention the Russian army in the Far East, a few divisions in the European part are definitely not worse than what he brought, but this is not the most important, the important thing is to lose such a foothold as Kyakhta, Let them have no foundation army to impact the opponent's competition-level protection, isn't this death?

To tell the truth, if there is a choice, Brusinov is not willing to attack, to attack has a large number of artillery, and initially established a perfect defense system, except for the absence of tall, precipitous fortresses, he has a fortress, to attack, isn't it to fight with human lives, and it may not be able to fight.

It's a pity that Brusinov had to attack, after all, Tsar Nicholas II's face was there, the European part, the military department and the government, but I don't know what they are facing, even if he reports it, no one will pay attention to it, China has always been a barren land, only a few years ago, during the Russian-Japanese War, a war fought in the northeast, even the Chinese center did not dare to say anything, not to mention the local forces, how could it be possible for the dignified Russian army to be stuck, it must be afraid of war, when the time comes, even if Brusinov is a general, it is impossible to escape the involvement, maybe it is to be imprisoned and given death.

Dilemma, what Brusinov can do is to increase the chances of victory as much as possible, maybe the other side is very strong, maybe the other side has a fixed fortress, but according to intelligence, the development of the northwest is only four or five years, even if there is a secret development before, the northwest is impossible to expand a large number of troops, when the life of the other party to fight to a certain extent, both sides have suffered heavy losses, maybe it is an opportunity, desperate for life, Russia, with a population of 170 million, does not seem to be afraid of anything, even if the northwest has the same population, a region, has not yet become a country, when the number of human lives rises to more than 500,000, I am afraid that its foundation will be loosened.

Brusinov worked hard to lay a solid foundation, but at this time, he got the attack on the railway town, 60 trains, more than 1,800 tons, which was no less than worse for him, itself, Nicholas II was the hard-headed to send their army in order to save face, and even the stingy tsar took out 500,000 US dollars, and the government almost took a part of the funds from the few government expenditures, and by the way, from the arsenal, a large number of supplies.

But 1,800 tons of supplies were destroyed, this is simply thrown away in vain, if you want to make up for it, it is very difficult, what to do, why does the Northwest Army have such a large attack range, what exactly is missing, Brusinov is a little puzzled, he knows the location of the small station, and even has been there, a casual glance at the terrain, you know, even if it is an army of more than a regiment, with artillery to open the way, it can resist at least more than an hour, the small station also has a telegraph, as long as there is a little effort, you can recruit reinforcements through the guò telegram, there will be losses, as soon as the armored train passes, the materiel will not be lost.

However, Xiaozhan did not send any telegrams, nor did he send any requests for help, and it was only the next day, when all the materials were detonated, that he was discovered by a passing military column, did Baotou have such a strong combat effectiveness, and quietly solved the 300 heavily armed army?

Brusinov was puzzled, in fact, let alone him, Baotou's tactics, perhaps in the 21st century, officers who are accustomed to seeing special forces infiltrating and striking troops, can clearly know that this is infiltrated and infiltrated, but in this era, although it is not a few decades ago, the era of platoon shooting, but it is the stage of advancing and breaking through the front, what infiltration, behind enemy lines, asymmetric strikes, etc., is simply something new and can not be new, I have not seen it with my own eyes, it is impossible to believe, there are only 36 people, Just 300 Army, quietly killed, not to mention that the Russian army is lax and careless, most of them are drunk, even if they are preoccupied and unable to prevent it, they will be killed and injured, but the news will be sent back.

Brusinov, who couldn't figure it out, decided almost instantly, let the airship take off, no matter what, always find out what the reason was, at this time, he was slightly lucky, fortunately he brought the airship, otherwise, he could only send a search team on a large scale to find out what happened, I'm afraid it would be a week or two later, at that time what could be found out, only the airship, a distance of hundreds of kilometers, for the airship, it was just a few hours of time, the most critical, In Brusinov's opinion, the 300 Army that has the ability to make the small station unable to issue a distress telegram in an instant, I am afraid that only a large number of artillery attacks have been attacked, because the small station was destroyed, and it is not clear whether it was an explosion or an artillery bombardment, because countless shells were detonated.

Of course, the shelling or explosion, careful investigation, time spent, will still find the answer, the caliber of the shells of the Northwest Army and the Russian army is completely different, and if you look for it slowly, they will find that most of the Russian troops died from cold weapons or bullets, and they didn't even get out of bed, but in a panic, even the news of the small station is vague, not to mention the detailed investigation results.

Chita does not have an airship take-off base, which is inconvenient for an airship, Brusinov carried the airship here, prepared in advance, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops were concentrated here, the manpower was extremely abundant, under the tactics of the sea of people, 4 take-off bases were built, and Brusinov's order was obtained, the two airships were in intense preparation, the airships that had already been prepared, quickly filled with gas, only less than a hundred cubic airships, when filling gas, it was not as slow as a large airship, at most 40 minutes, Preparations were made, and a group of pilots and scouts boarded the airship and flew into the air with their heads held high.

And 80 kilometers south of Chita, two airships belonging to the Northwest Army are also advancing towards Chita, their speed is extremely fast, at most 20 minutes, you can contact the Russian army on the periphery, under the bright sun, the huge airship is completely unobstructed.

In this way, inadvertently, the airships of the Northwest and the Russian army have been lifted into the air, as if it is fate, to collide together, the first large-scale air battle is about to occur, and the world may be the first large-scale airship duel, just in the middle of this Siberia, the important hub of the Trans-Siberian Railway Chita opened in the sky, and the brutal air battle, from this day, began to unveil the veil and achieved the birth of a new branch of arms.
