Chapter 529: Bordo's Decision

The trenches on the front line used explosions to bury thousands of soldiers of the death battalion, but because they only focused on killing and not destroying, the trenches were expanded a little, giving these soldiers of the death battalion a little protection, and more than 1,000 people were concentrated in the trenches, unable to advance or retreat, and the battlefield seemed to have come to a standstill. For the trenches, it is not that there is no way, you can choose to attack with mortars, but in a hurry, the second line of trenches is just arranged with a batch of machine guns, and the bullet storm suppresses the personnel of these death battalions.

The death battalion is not afraid of death, but it is not without technical content, the storm of bullets crushes everyone here, occasionally one or two people who emerge, all of them are broken into pieces by bullets, and then no one dares to come forward.

Samsolov pinched the telescope fiercely, as if all his strength had been used on it, only for a long time, was there half an hour, the 50,000 death battalions actually all died in front of the three lines of defense, he slapped the city wall hard, and said loudly: "Give me the order to artillery fire, attack!" ”

Under Samsolov's forcible order, the Russian artillery fire, which was suppressed by the artillery fire of the Northwest Army and the snipers, after firing hard, seemed to have passed the most difficult stage, and slowly sounded, especially those 180 guns, urgently mobilized a group of gunners, and resounded.

It is impossible for a sniper to keep an endless stare at the gunners of 180, the previous attack was just unprepared, and now the search of the entire Russian army is already within a range of 3 kilometers around the artillery, even if the sniper hides well, it can't compare to the carpet search, and it was withdrawn early.

180 guns and artillery bombardment at any cost, and the death battalion hiding in front is ready to move. Under the double pressure of artillery fire and death battalions, the Northwest Army in order to avoid further casualties. Start an active retreat. With the help of a network of trenches, the Northwest Army retreated 1,700 meters. Of course, the active retreat will cause a certain amount of damage to the trenches, and the placement of explosives and explosives will make the trenches less tightly protected than before, besides, the focus of the trenches themselves is forward, once the target is aimed at the back. The protection process will also be greatly reduced, which is specially made.

Samsolov gritted his teeth and looked at the battle situation in front of him, to be honest, he didn't expect that the result would be like this, losing nearly 40,000 death battalions in vain, but occupying a 1,700-meter defensive line, and it was not they who attacked it, but the northwest took the initiative to push it down. In a sense, such a result is meaningless.

Their aim was to occupy Mongolia, and even to capture the northwest, not to mention Mongolia now, not even a small trading city. Although the trading city was razed to the ground, they did not completely occupy the trading city, the complex underground fortifications. Let the Northwest Army still firmly guard the trading city, with the help of tunnels. The Northwest Army, which was arranged in a zigzag shape behind the city, was still a complete whole.

The war entered a stalemate, and the more it dragged on. The protection system of the Northwest Army became stronger and stronger, and even later, when a large number of construction machinery arrived and began to build semi-permanent fortifications with the help of reinforced concrete, the German officers who observed knew that the Russian army could no longer break through this line of defense.

What is the war fought, training, army, logistics, especially logistics, there is not enough logistics, even the iron army will become a soft-footed shrimp, the history of world wars all proves this, Mongolia and Russia intersect, buy and sell cities and Kyakhta, in comparison, even the Russian army occupies a certain advantage, because of many years of operation and the Trans-Siberian Railway, even if the Russian army is farther away from the mainland, the logistics supply capacity is much stronger than the northwest.

This is also the reason why all the powers, including Germany, were not optimistic about the northwest at the beginning, even on the first day of coming, the northwest took the 199th brigade, and then killed a lot of Russian death battalions, but it really has to enter the stage of stalemate, and the northwest will definitely retreat step by step when the losses reach a certain level.

However, the next development was beyond Bordo's expectations, the northwest not only has strong military capabilities, but also has strong construction capabilities and logistical capabilities, when the northwest simply built a simple road from Kulen to the city of Buyingcheng, and even began to further build cement roads, even young officers can see that the logistics in the northwest are completely free of any pressure. Originally, the equipment level of the northwest was above the Russian army, which is also the fundamental reason why the northwest can use about half of the personnel to block the Russian army.

Bordo has been on the front line of the city for a week, and has seen 3 large-scale offensive and defensive battles, each time, it is the Russian army that has lost its troops, and the Northwest Army has perfectly run the trenches, mortars, special forces, and automatic firearms on the battlefield, and has broken Samsoloov's offensive again and again.

It can't be said that Samsolov didn't fight well, in Bordo's opinion, he was definitely a qualified commander, and after the death battalion was hit hard, he did not give up, but tried everything possible to attack, and even the two subsequent attacks achieved considerable results, if it were not for the excessive number of automatic firearms of the Northwest Army, maybe he would have been able to take the position, or even break through the defense of the Northwest Army.

Having experienced the war firsthand, Bordeaux truly realized the important role of automatic firearms, an army, in both frontal battlefields and defensive warfare, as long as it has a sufficient number of automatic firearms and logistics, is almost invulnerable, and Bordeaux even has an impulse after seeing World War I and World War I, an impulse to return to Germany immediately.

Bordeaux was born in the army, and his feelings for the army were far above his own position, the German army was the first in Europe, starting from Prussia that year, to the Franco-Prussian War, to the establishment of Germany, until now, the total amount of industry surpassed Britain, becoming the first in Europe, which was built on the strong German army.

Relying on the army, he defeated France, obtained huge reparations, and unified Germany, because the powerful army, even if Britain was very hostile to Germany, did not dare to act lightly, and even because of Germany, it co-opted Russia, which had always been hostile, and put huge pressure on Germany on the army. Now, having seen the war between the Northwest and Russia, he does not think that the Northwest Army is stronger than the German Army, but in the Northwest Army, he sees many shining points, the popularization of auxiliary military equipment, engineering shovels, earthwork, automatic firearms, mortars, barbed wire, these seem simple, but they really show their power in the war, Germany must improve the army, so that the army really becomes strong.

In the past few days, in addition to watching the battle, the German officer corps has gone deep into almost all parts of the Northwest Army, if it were not for the protest of Cai Yi and others, they would even have to go deep into the front line, from the most subtle place, recorded the war between the Northwest Army and the Russian army, not only detailed, but also quite objective, Zhang Xiaohuai happened to see their records, he is familiar with the German language, and even got a lot of gains from the middle, the collision between the two military ideas, and even let Zhang Xiaohuai see some of the shortcomings of the Northwest Army, which is an unexpected gain.

Finally, the continuous offensive did not have any effect, but because of the high-intensity war and the loss of troops, even the tough Samsolov did not dare to continue, the fierce battle gradually slowed down, from the battle situation, the intensity of the war is still very strong, but the intensity and casualty numbers have decreased a lot, fixed artillery, feint attack, even if it is the main attack of the Russian army, it is not too serious, a little attack, there is no chance, and I will go back, Even Samslav could not let his soldiers die, the 173 and 179 divisions, I have not seen it personally, but the 199 brigade and the death battalion behind, almost 50,000 people, were killed like this, and the damage to the enemy was minimal, and before finding the weakness of the opponent, who was willing to attack a solid position.

On the 11th day after Bordeaux arrived in the trading city, Bordeaux proposed to leave when he could not get more gains, he proposed it so suddenly, more or less made Cai Ye feel surprised, he did not stop Bordo, knowing that his identity was the German military attache in China, second only to a few high-ranking figures in the German army, Yang Yuanzhao's purpose was known to most of the high-level leaders in the northwest, and he did not understand that he chose Germany among many powers, but most of the exports in the northwest were related to Germany, and the vast majority of people knew it, and it is inconvenient to offend him.

Bordo almost saw with his own eyes that the city of trading was bigger, put away all the battlefield records, and left 7 German officers to observe, at this time, the German officers, there is no longer a little contempt for the northwest, contempt for China, the whole army, rushing up, will always be the strong, the new army in the northwest, with their real strength, proved their identity as a strong man, no matter how proud the German officers are, they must be on the top, or willing to communicate with the strong, they began to go deeper, to study, The tactics and tactics of the entire Baotou have been collected into a book, which was finally brought back to Germany by Bordeaux.

A battalion of troops was specially sent to protect Bordo and others to travel, and now the position has been basically stabilized, and every day passes, the battle line becomes thicker and thicker, and the Russian army does not have much way, plus the follow-up reinforcements have arrived, and now the front line of the city is now bought and sold, and 5 divisions are concentrated, but the 4th and 5th divisions have not come up, as the general reserve.

In this case, it is still possible to temporarily transfer a battalion, Mongolia is now basically accused of being in the hands of the northwest, but there are still a lot of scattered armed forces and horse bandits, and if something happens to the German army like Bordo, it will be a big deal, and the northwest will not be recognized in the world on time, and it is not a good thing to offend Germany again.
