All the German officers, as well as the staff officers in the observation room, also saw the telescope in that direction, and a thought flashed in the young German officer's heart, is this the Russian reinforcement, but the reinforcement should not have such a big yellow dragon, although it is said that this side of the north, is half grassland and half desert, any movement will be yellow sand, but the army has a fixed discipline and pace, generally condensed but not dispersed, this in all directions, as if it is a sandstorm like the yellow dragon, it seems, Some of them look like yellow sand that can only be raised by ordinary people's walks.

"It's finally here!" Zhang Xiaohuai said calmly.

"Master Zhang, what do you seem to know?" Bordo has been in China for many years and has mastered a lot of Chinese, although he cannot express himself fluently, but it is still no problem to listen.

"Yes, we received a tip-off that there is movement in the Russian Far East, and a large number of criminals have been recruited!" Zhang Xiaohuai said calmly, but it was natural to make a special trip to German.

"Criminals?" Bordo was stunned for a moment, and then said in amazement: "Death camp? ”

Zhang Xiaohuai nodded, Bordo's face changed, the death camp is a thing in the armies of various countries, but the most terrible and the most ruthless is Russia, which has a large population and is dominated by serfs, with a huge number of criminals. These death battalions, their combat effectiveness is not strong, but thousands, or even more, rushed up in a sea of mountains, and there are few defenses that are not broken by him, as long as the number is enough.

"Guijun, is there a solution?" Bordeau just asked subconsciously, and didn't think about Zhang Xiaohuai's answer, but to his surprise, Zhang Xiaohuai answered, and he said calmly: "Yes, it's almost arranged!" ”

"What?" Bordeau blurted out. Without waiting for Bordo to ask anything more, Zhang Xiaohuai had something to do, so he went out, leaving Bordo who was stunned there, and after a long time, he took a long breath and said secretly in his heart: "This trip to Mongolia is really the right one, if you can get inspiration from the northwest method, I am afraid that Russia's pressure on Germany will be reduced by half!" ”

"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on!" A few young officers looked at Bordo, and finally, Phelps asked surrounded by everyone.

"The death battalion of the Russian army is coming!"

"Death battalion? So much? Phelps and a few young officers turned pale, although they had not seen the death battalion of the Russian army, but the death battalion with the will to die, the death battalion of the decisive impact was not small in Europe, Napoleon of the year, defeated Russia, on the one hand, because of the bad weather, on the other hand, it was not Russia that pulled up a million troops in one fell swoop.

"It's a lot, but Master Zhang is already prepared, so if you want to come, it should be no problem!"

"I don't know what the preparation is, it seems that there are quite a few death battalions!" A young officer said with a palpitation.

"yes, it looks like at least tens of thousands?"

"Tens of thousands of people, even tens of thousands of pigs, are not easy to kill, let alone those who are initially armed, can they really be stopped, the Russian army's artillery superiority, and the superiority in numbers."

The gossip words, even Bordo was worried, including him The German officers did not believe that the Northwest could block the death battalion, and when they first came, they might be directly sarcastic, but now, after seeing the 6,000 people of the Northwest Army, in just 30 minutes, they killed a brigade of the Russian army, such an efficiency really made the German officers admire, and they did not dare to question anything, but when tens of thousands of personnel from the death battalion arrived, the number of the Russian army was already in an overwhelming majority.

The death battalion should still be some time away from Kyakhta, according to the position where the Yellow Dragon rises, there are still about 30 kilometers away from Kyakhta, so that for walking, it may take a day to arrive, the Northwest Army directly annihilated a brigade of the Russian army, it stands to reason that the Russian army should retaliate, but the arrival of the death battalion, a certain journey, let the Russian army calm down, everyone knows, this is just the last calm before the storm, once the death camp arrives, the attack will begin instantly.

All afternoon, Zhang Xiaohuai was busy, so Bordo wanted to say but couldn't find the opportunity, finally seized the opportunity, saw Zhang Xiaohuai when he was free, offered to go to the front line to see, Zhang Xiaohuai frowned, or agreed, the other party's death battalion has arrived, as long as it does not arrive, it should not attack, where to go to the security is very high, and will not let these Germans really enter the front line, if it is really the Russian army on the opposite side, the brain is not normal, launch a round of shelling, It is not a trivial matter to injure a German officer at will, but fortunately, it is good to be able to observe with the help of a telescope in a fortress relatively close to the first line.

Although the battle line has just been established, but with the help of some structures, it is still possible to build some permanent positions, just like they are now, today is a good weather, clear air, visibility is very good, Bordo is in a front-line permanent fortress, the observer of the first line, in the back can not see clearly what is outside, in the front line to see very clearly, in fact, the first-line position, from the periphery of the trading city is about three kilometers or so, this is a hilly area, has been heavily artillery, The destruction is not in shape, and there is a crater in front of it.

But in the midst of these scattered craters, Bordo found that wooden poles were standing tenaciously upright, and layers of black barbed wire were densely spread on the front line, forming a line of defense.

"What is this?" Not only Bordo was surprised, but many German officers who came with him were also surprised, what role can these barbed wire play, I am afraid that they are ordinary barbed wire, at most there are some burrs, it looks extremely simple, anyone seems to be able to destroy this barbed wire with a light pull, and those wooden sticks are even more so, only about one person high, at most 10 centimeters in diameter, can not play any role at all.

After half a ring, the young Phelps suddenly said, "I know, it's a block!" ”

"Block, how to block!"

"Blocking infantry or cavalry, it looks thin, but no matter what, it's also wire, in the middle of the battle, there is really such a row of barbed wire in front of you, and who can come over quickly!"

"Yes, we thought that the barbed wire fence was weak in peacetime, and a gardener with a big iron scissors could kill this, but on the battlefield, are there so many scissors?"

Young officers have divergent thinking that is even more powerful, especially after seeing the combat effectiveness of the northwest, many times, they will think from a higher height, and they will suddenly become enlightened. Barbed wire is different from others, relatively cheap, compared with reinforced concrete, I don't know how much cheaper, because it is the form of silk wire, the possibility of being hit by heavy artillery is also extremely low, such barbed wire, for the infantry to block the effect is excellent, the barbs and layers of structure, so that this has become a nightmare for the infantry, facing a wall, maybe it can be destroyed, simply turn over, such barbed wire, how to turn, not anyone can endure the barbs on the barbed wire, rushed into the barbed wire.

A simple arrangement, but contains so many truths, everyone knows the barbed wire, and even used it as a fence at home, but no one thought that he would be used on the battlefield, especially when someone mentioned that the machine gun and the barbed wire did not have any obstacle to the machine gun, everyone's eyes lit up, which is really a pioneer.

After Bordeau understood the role of barbed wire, he immediately noticed that in the trenches in the rear, the half-hidden and half-visible Makqin, as early as yesterday, he found that the number of Makqin of the Baotou New Army was very large, almost everywhere, and he asked in surprise: "General Zhang, what is the standard configuration of your Makqin!" ”

"One division, 1032."

Bordo is wooden, the German officers are also wooden, the entire elite troops of the German army, there may not be such a large number of Maxims, dozens of ordinary divisions will be terrible, even if it is an elite first-class division, the number of Maxims will not exceed 100, and the northwest has increased tenfold all at once, which is crazy.

But madness is madness, Makqin is used just right here, if so many Makqin are combined with barbed wire, it will definitely become a nightmare for the previous army's charge tactics, in the case that heavy artillery cannot completely destroy the barbed wire, the cross-distributed Makqin, a certain way, will become a harvester, no matter how many soldiers fill in, it is just to fill in, for this line of defense can not shake a step, this is the Northwest Army, the real reason why it can resist.

Even Bordo thought of the previous death squads, the Russian army's death squads, which are quite famous in Europe, so that the undisciplined attack regardless of death has become an unsolvable proposition, but this qiē is completely ineffective under the combination of the barbed wire defense line and the Maxim, as long as the artillery fire cannot destroy all the Maxim, as long as the reasonable position, the cross-arrangement of firepower, how many people come, before they can not break through the defense line composed of barbed wire, all of them are targets, especially what Phelps noticed, In the gaps of the barbed wire, people have the instinct to avoid danger, on the battlefield, when the head rushes forward, it is natural to avoid those painful wires, and instead look for gaps, and these specially arranged gaps, as long as a few Makqin are arranged, the lethality is simply more than 10 times that of other parts, which is terrible.

All the German officers looked miserable, they almost subconsciously substituted themselves into the attack role, but found that no matter how many people they brought, unless they use heavy artillery, destroy all the barbed wire, all the trenches, otherwise how much they charge, how much will be destroyed, before I felt that the Northwest Army only knew how to shrink back to defend, a little disdainful, but now it seems that the arrangement of bits and pieces is all the trap of the Yin people, and if you don't pay attention, there will be no bones.
