The Russian army once again returned in vain, and in Valentin's heart, there was no longer the idea of despising the defenders of the city, the losses of the two divisions were about the same, and even the 179th division was a little larger, and the opposite side was not a rabble, but a truly well-trained, cunning and powerful regular army.

To be able to be the commander of the Russian army, Valentin and Andrei are both graduates of regular military academies, at the grassroots level and in various units, they have been working for decades, and they have achieved this step now, perhaps in their previous hearts, more or less, there was a little idea of fighting for power and profit, and now they have all disappeared, and they can't capture the trading city, which has almost no credit, cavalry charge, infantry charge, have no effect, to capture this small trading city, from a certain Cheng dù above, it requires the sincere cooperation of the two of them.

The rout is speeding up its return, just like the first time, the charge of the 173rd Division, the soldiers who are responsible for the front have lost almost more than 9 percent, the closer they attack, the more they die, and some are even broken into pieces and beaten into meat sauce, all the soldiers who saw the tragic state of the vanguard are also some of their hearts shaken, and it is extremely difficult to let them charge before they find a better way.

This is not the First World War a few years later, Russia at that time, just with millions of rifles, pushed millions of farmers into the army, and the soldiers at the bottom were called gray cattle, at this time, even the army in the Far East was also a professional soldier, and let them die in vain, I am afraid it will trigger a backlash, which is stronger than the unruly mobile phone to read novels? Cossacks, they can be fearless, but if you let them die, they will really mutiny.

In the telescope, Andrei and Valentin have similar expressions. Although he thought that the 179th Division would suffer a loss, it was really when the vanguard lost 2,500 people. He was also shocked beyond being able to see how strong the Buying and Selling City had such a strong defensive capability. How many people does he have, one division, or two divisions, the combat effectiveness of the northwest is not as simple as I thought before, so many people, concentrated in a small city, I haven't seen a few people come forward.

Picked up the binoculars again, trying to get out of the middle of the battle. Find a little inspiration, but when Andri's eyes focused on the houses in the trading city, after several rounds, at least thousands of shells, including some large-caliber artillery, but most of the houses in the trading city are standing safely, but if you look closely, there are some differences, many of the houses are broken. But there are also quite a few houses that are still standing or even undamaged.

A possibility suddenly popped up in Andrei's mind, pointing to the room not far away, and slightly nodding to Valentin. After reading it, Valenkyin was also stunned, took a breath of cold air and said, "Reinforced concrete!"

Andrei nodded and said, "Nothing else besides this!" ”

Ferroconcrete. This Valentin is very familiar, whether it is the Chinese Lushun during the Russo-Japanese War. Or the current Vladivostok (Vladivostok), especially the latter. As the anchorage of the Far Eastern Fleet, it is almost completely fortified, and the terrible giant reinforced concrete fortifications they know that this is just a house, and they can't see any fortress meaning, but it is also normal, if the Chinese are building a fortress in the buying and selling city, the Russian army in the Far East has already come over, lying on the bed, how can you allow others to snore, Mongolia has been regarded as Russia's sphere of influence as early as a few decades ago, that is, the undefended trading city can be preserved, the polar bear is in the Far East, who are you afraid of.

"Or, hit a dozen!"

"Let's just fight there!" Andrei waved a small courtyard in the nearest and forward position, and in the battle just now, he noticed that there were at least 12 firepower points here, and due to the location, it was here that caused the greatest casualties to the Russian army.

"Good!"

After the two division commanders finished communicating and confirming the target, the artillery was turned on again, and the continuous artillery firing made the artillery a little tired, but fortunately, this time the difficulty was not very great, just to kill a house.

The Russian army has begun shelling again, which makes Wu Jian, who is familiar with the combat intentions of the Russian army, a little strange, completely out of harmony with the routine, the rout has not yet returned to Kyakhta, and the new attack team has not yet come out, this is shelling, isn't it a waste of shells.

If before, there was still some meaning, and there were still some Chinese, but all the Chinese entered the tunnel through the entrance of the guò room, and were rapidly moving towards the side and rear of the trading city, the thick earth and reinforced concrete fortifications protected these people, and the 75-caliber cannon would not pose a threat to them at all.

The cannons began to roar, and the dense artillery fire suddenly submerged the house in the front part, and 50 cannons could pour 300-400 shells in one minute, and they could fight for 15 minutes.

When the smoke cleared, Valentin looked at the house in front of him in amazement, because of the dense artillery fire, the top part of the house, a corner of the house collapsed, and in other places, you can also see the cement shattered, but the overall structure of the house has not undergone fundamental changes, at the position of the gap, there are dense steel bars edited into a network, and even the position of the gap, you can't see anything inside.

"What a strong reinforced concrete!" Andrei also took a breath of cold air, 15 minutes, 6000 shells almost occupied their two divisions, one-tenth of the current reserve artillery fire, don't underestimate the qualified, even if it is a cavalry unit, the two divisions also carry 90,000 shells, which in the past, enough to fight 3 or 4 high-intensity battles, but now, 6000 shells, just collapsed a corner of the house, what is this, a simple count, the entire trading city, similar houses, at least more than 100, This is the house that still survived under the intensive artillery bombardment, and it is extremely obvious that the number of their shells, even if it is doubled, will definitely not be able to clear these houses, that is, if they continue to attack, they must withstand the dense fortifications,

Wu Jian picked up the phone, dialed the forward position, and in the middle of the battle, when the Russian army retreated, he would order the soldiers to retreat, that is, among the firing points, only one or two observation posts were left.

Fortunately, the quality of the house is very good, and 15 minutes of intensive artillery fire cannot shake the main body of the house at all, and now that the shelling has stopped, he needs to know the casualties on the front line.

Answering the phone on the other side, a soldier was wiped by broken cement fragments, received a little minor injury, and had been cleaned and bandaged, Wu Jian's face showed a smile, the reasonable layout of the trading city and the reinforced concrete fortifications were the fundamental reason why he did not have any fear in the face of dozens of times the Russian army, with these fortifications and tunnels, one of his soldiers could be used as three or five, or even a dozen, as long as the Russian army dared to rush hard, he dared to cause large-scale damage to the Russian army.

The two division commanders of the Russian army were at a loss, and Liang Lingdong and Wu Jian were also happy to be quiet and did not attack, and the battlefield seemed to be calm.

This is war, any calm, can not last long, an hour later, Valentin and Andrei sorted out the personnel, began a tentative attack, no longer provide a regiment, but a company, even a platoon level, such refueling tactics and tentative attacks, simply can not produce much threat to the trading city, and even only used a part of the soldiers, it was easily resisted, by about 11 o'clock in the morning, a total of 8 waves of the enemy were repulsed, causing more than 800 casualties of the Russian army, On the side of the special forces, only 2 were seriously wounded and 12 were lightly wounded, and the losses can be said to be minimal.

At 11 o'clock, the bright spring light in March, on the side of the trading city, became a little solidified, no one cared about the spring bright problem, and no one looked at the scenery on all sides, rested for about 4 hours of artillery fire, and once again began to fire a salvo, this time, the preparation time was quite long, and in the Russian military camps in Kyakhta, the 173rd Division and the 179th Division, almost all the Russian troops poured out of the nest and began to flock towards the trading city.

"Oops!" Wu Jian was stunned for a moment, his face was a little remorseful, he was fooled, the other party's tentative attack was obviously purposeful, but he thought that the other party was poor in donkey skills, and it was this wave of tentative attacks that made the other party see the biggest shortcoming of the trading city, the lack of troops.

That's right, there are fortifications, there are reinforced concrete, and even because of the relationship between the arsenals, the number of automatic firearms on the side of the buying and selling city far exceeds that of China, and even most of the world's armies. In exchange for the perception of Baotou, the number of troops is insufficient, and if you want to completely block the Russian army of more than 20,000 people from the city, the personnel here are too few.

After Valengin and Andrei understood, they thought of a way almost at the same time, that is, to attack together with the help of superior forces, buy and sell the direction of the city, and definitely lose sight of one or the other, and lose their ground.

Two people pressed all, with a cumulative loss of 6,000 people, a team of more than 20,000 people, and all of a sudden there were only about 16,000 troops left, and now, all of them went out and divided into 8 directions, approaching the trading city, and in the three directions in the south, it was the direct impact of the cavalry, and the Cossacks, wielding sabers and cavalry guns, divided into several columns, and outflanked Baotou.

Wu Jian put down the binoculars, looked at the Kyakhta city wall in the distance, which was almost invisible, and said to himself: "It seems that I underestimated you, everything you did was right, but it was too late!" (To be continued......) R1292
