Chapter 560: Special Warfare Raid
The two airships flew to an altitude of 4,000 meters, and then converged together, moving forward, this is Baotou's first attack on this Russia, but the first shot is not destined to be fired first, long before the airship sortie, the Northwest Special Forces, scattered on the huge Siberian wilderness, with the help of a small number of command radio and portable radio communication, distributed on both sides of the Siberian Railway.
Now that it's summer, there is no ice and snow in Siberia, which doesn't mean that it's safe, because the swamp formed by Yongdong soil and thawing looks like a meadow, but maybe it's a fatal swamp, and the swamp is the biggest threat in Siberia.
270 kilometers west of Chita, which is close to the depths of Siberia, this is a small station of the Trans-Siberian Railway, because it is a small station for communication, only in the northwest of the small station there is a small village of about 50 households, the rest is a forest, there is a logging field in the forest, most of the farmers in the village, are working in the logging field, only a small part is farming.
The special forces have been eyeing this town, as early as 3 days ago, when the first special operations team arrived here, they were taken aback by here, this is a huge result, they quickly issued contact signals to other teams, within 3 days, 3 squads within 70 kilometers around 36 special forces fighters concentrated here, this is already the limit, after all, this is a little far away from the main battlefield, although there are almost 1000 special combat members, deep into Siberia, But most of them are concentrated in the vicinity of Chita.
The long-term reconnaissance has made the special combat team members a little depressed, and in the past time, they have only investigated in the field and killed scattered or valuable targets, but this small station makes all the commanders who see him feel that this opportunity has come.
Brusinov's large number of Russian troops were transferred, the closer they were to the Far East and the Urals, the more they were deployed, and most of the troops were transferred from the entire Far East and the Urals, and along the railway, close to Chita, to be exact, it was relatively close to Kyakhta, and there were very few of them, and even a certain amount of strength was strengthened, but the distance was 150 kilometers away, and there were more of them.
In Brusinov's view, Chita itself is hundreds of kilometers away from Kyakhta, plus it has left a distance of nearly 200 kilometers and about 500 kilometers here, in the absence of transportation or trains, this is an impossible task, besides, on the Trans-Siberian Railway, there are also armored trains in action, which is to ensure the stability of the logistics line, specially drawn in Europe, a total of 12 vehicles, 50 kilometers per hour, almost non-stop movement on the Siberian railway line, Prevent the raid of the Northwest.
ARMED TRAIN THIS IS THE USUAL WEAPON OF THE GREAT POWERS, BASED ON IRON CARS, ARMED TO THE TEETH, AS THICK AS 100MM STEEL PLATES, AS IF A BATTLESHIP, CAN BLOCK MOST OF THE ARMY ARTILLERY ATTACK, WITH 280 MM TRAIN GUNS, ENOUGH TO HIT ANY ENEMY, A TRAIN WITH ONLY 5 SECTIONS, WITH 18 GUNS OF VARIOUS TYPES, AS WELL AS A LARGE NUMBER OF LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, AN ARMORED TRAIN HAS A CAPACITY OF 327 PEOPLE, EXCEPT FOR A SMALL NUMBER OF DRIVERS, MOST OF THEM ARE ALL KINDS OF MACHINE GUNNERS.
The situation of this small town of the Russian army was occasionally discovered by a small team of special combat personnel, because the various small stations around Chita were relatively tightly defended, and the occasional attack on the train did not have much effect, and the infantry did not have enough artillery fire, and it was useless to attack the train, as for the destruction, because Cai Yi's order was not carried out, the destruction could have a considerable effect and hinder the assembly of the Russian army, but now in the northwest, they are looking forward to the assembly of the Russian army, and they have concentrated 130,000 troops, the northwest, There are still at least 2 armies in preparation, so that from a certain point of view, there is no fear of fighting with the Russian army, the key is to eliminate the living forces and eliminate more materials, so as to be able to hit the Russian army in a real sense.
Russia's huge territory has brought huge logistical pressure, unless at the critical moment of the war, continuous destruction of the railway, and followed by the destruction, a wave of offensive, it is possible to strongly hit the Russian army, in the early stage, the benefits of destroying the railway, there is no direct attack on the logistics base.
At a distance of more than 200 kilometers, this small station actually became a small marshalling station, and at least 30 wagons of materials were sorted here, and in addition to 500 workers, there were only 300 soldiers, and the defense was sparse to the extreme.
300 soldiers, in a small remote station, is enough, if you stick to the reinforcements, you can bear at least one regimental attack, the reason why this small station can become a marshalling station is because the small station also has a strong turret, and there are some fixed buildings along with the turret, as long as they make slight improvements, they can form a fixed offensive.
These are of great effect on the ordinary army, but for the special forces, such a number and soldiers, it is a little insufficient, a squad will definitely not be able to take it, one will not work on two, two will not work on three, when 36 people from the 3 squads are concentrated here, a company commander of the special combat team feels that it should be enough, not because the special combat team is too confident in their own strength, but because the defense here is too loose, these soldiers and workers, the defense is slightly tighter during the day, and at night, the defense is much looser. Russians like to drink, and this is a relatively important marshalling station, and the materials transported from the rear every day are huge, and anyone will, on the huge material chain based on 200,000 or even 300,000 people, ensure that these Russian troops can get enough wine and other materials, and even force the drivers who come to deliver supplies every time they say what is in the car.
Far away from the battlefield, there is no one in the four fields, except for 50 small villages and towns, there are not many people within 100 kilometers around, this is the real wilderness, although the military discipline is extremely strict, but the Russian army, even in the military districts in Europe, can not be strict, not to mention the loosely disciplined Asian part, every night, is when they drink and gather, even if it is the sentry guarding the turret, they will hold a bottle of wine, while on duty while drinking, drunk and half-awake, With dim eyes, look at the calm Siberian plain, where there are few birds and beasts.
Such a big target is in front of us, even if the defense is quite sparse, the special combat personnel will make careful observations, and even have ideas, wait another day or two to see if there are any other troops coming, this place is really too remote, the nearest special combat personnel are 70 kilometers away, or even 120 kilometers away, and they can't receive telegrams at all.
In the grass, a special combat team member in full disguise, lying there, with a non-reflective telescope, under the cover, looking at the small station opposite, he has been here for 12 hours, under strict training, he can even lie on his stomach for 36 hours, probably when night falls, another team member replaced him, he returned to the temporary camp, and recorded what he observed today.
There are more than 100 similar records, special forces, divided into 12 directions, to the small station and the barracks, carried out all-round tracking, a few days of observation, found that it is the case, in a short time, there are not too many reinforcements to arrive, the nearest team of reinforcements also needs 2 days to arrive, and according to the Russian army's simple railway operation map, plus yesterday moved into the station, stolen out of the station record sheet and tasks, in the next 2-3 days, there will be 70,000 Russian troops, coming by train, God knows how many changes will occur, and we must do it today, otherwise, even if we do it, we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Russian army, and if 70,000 Russian troops are pursuing in the back, it will be very troublesome.
The company commander and several squad leaders made a complete plan and started this evening, according to the custom of the Northwest Army, and even reconfirmed the map and path, after which all the soldiers were disguised and rested, and only in the evening did they enter the position.
When evening came, the Russian soldiers who had been tired for a long time had already dispersed in groups, and the workers were locked in the warehouse, which was called workers, rather than laborers raised from the surroundings, in the Far East, which itself was relatively remote, and these soldiers were also quite strong at the oppression and scolding of these laborers, they could drink wine and eat meat, but these workers could only hold black bread, and at night, in order to prevent these workers from making trouble, they were always locked in the warehouse, eating, drinking, and lazing inside.
If Yang Yuanzhao is here, he will definitely sigh, why is Russia making trouble with the proletariat, the First World War is just a fuse, and all the contradictions are completely intensified, but even if there is no World War, if Russia continues to develop according to this, it is natural to make trouble, and even most countries in this world are like this, frantically squeezing the surplus value of the workers, what Marx said is not wrong at all.
It was precisely because of the panic of the founding of the Soviet Union that a series of movements were carried out in later generations, and the capitalist powers began to pay attention to the demands of the workers themselves, and in terms of increasing productivity and workers' welfare, even the exploitation of surplus value was relatively benign, so that the workers felt comfortable and at the same time extracted part of the profits, rather than completely suppressing them, as is now done in the northwest.
With the help of the improvement of productivity, the labor cost and the cost of unit product are greatly reduced, which is the basis for paying wages to workers.
The 36 figures, under the cover of night, entered their respective positions, the long barrels of guns were aimed at each other, and every member of each squad performed their duties, and the overall plan of this battle was almost engraved in the mind. R1152
