405: Battle of Borja? 6/12

The news of the appearance of a large number of Russian troops in Borja soon reached the headquarters of the 103rd Division, and the Russians did not seem to have the slightest sign of concealing their troops, almost all of which were stationed along the railway, and the farthest was only twenty or thirty kilometers.

Like that kind of isolated deep mountains and old forests, they don't seem to care much, as for whether they will be detected, this seems to be even more out of the consideration of the Russian army, perhaps, in their opinion, this is the territory of the Russians themselves, and they can be stationed as they want.

Although the deep mountains and old forests are extremely hidden, the disadvantages are also obvious, there are almost no people there, there is no road foundation, once the large army goes there, their supply will be a big problem.

But stationing along the railway line is not a problem, and their supply can even be done directly through the railway, without thinking about the problem of no supply.

Similarly, stationed in the deep mountains and old forests, in fact, is not absolutely safe, because there is no road there at all, coupled with the icy and snowy environment, although there has been no snow recently, but the snow on the ground has not yet melted, Russia is sparsely populated, and many places may not be visited once a year, so most places, what it looked like when it first snowed, and what it is still like now.

As long as someone walks by, they will leave traces, and when a large army enters the mountains, the traces cannot be erased, and if it is summer, they naturally don't have to think about this problem.

Therefore, the Russians felt that entering the mountains would not necessarily hide the whereabouts of the troops, but would bring them greater problems with supplies, and it would be better to station directly along the railway line to facilitate supplies and invade the Chinese Empire.

It's just that they didn't expect that before they could invade the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire would already come to the door.

"The troops are still about forty kilometers away from Borja, and if the reality is taken into account, there may be a distance of fifty to sixty kilometers, so I suggest that the advance of the troops be slowed down today and wait until tomorrow to attack Borja, and at the same time, order the reconnaissance troops to find out as much as possible about the enemy situation in Borja." Huang Jianbin suggested.

Forty kilometers in a straight line is an insurmountable chasm, and it is not impossible to attack it forcibly today, but then the problem will be serious, and there will be some gaps in supplies.

At present, the supply of the 103rd Division is mainly carried out in two ways, and these two methods are carried out at the same time, that is, a supply team sufficient to ensure that the front army can carry out a three-day battle, carrying the corresponding supplies and following the troops between 10 and 20 kilometers, so that the troops can be replenished at any time.

But if you take the front-line troops as a calculation, the distance between them and the logistics troops may be about thirty to forty kilometers, but this is also a helpless thing, the supply can be done to this point is already good, besides, all are truck supplies, if this distance is stepped on the accelerator to the end, at most it will take half a day to arrive, and the materials they carry are enough to support half a day's battle.

The other is to divide the remaining baggage troops into several formations, each of which is flexibly grouped according to the size of the supply force, and their main task is to travel between the supply base and the front-line supply team.

If the supply team on the front line is compared to No. 1, then they are No. 2, and No. 2 goes back and forth between No. 1 and the base, sending material resources to No. 1, and then No. 1 sending supplies to the troops.

This can ensure that the front-line troops will not run out of supplies at any time.

Of course, there is an exception, for example, they are hundreds of kilometers behind enemy lines, and there is no railway, and it takes more than two days for the No. 2 supply team to travel back and forth at a time, and the fighting is very frequent, so the No. 2 supply team will have a shortage of capacity.

Although they have a plan, there are always problems.

Now, the troops have just set off for the second day, and Huang Jianbin has also taken into account the adaptability of the troops, so he does not want to have a battle in a day, and according to the news sent back by the scouts, the number of Russian troops entrenched in Borja is probably more than the number of Russian troops yesterday.

Two battles in two days, and the scale is larger than the other, although it can train the troops, but it has to be said that this is also an irresponsible performance for the troops, even on the battlefield, we must also take into account the problem of combining work and rest, war, far from being as simple as imagined.

Now, for example, if they ordered their troops to advance quickly and go straight into battle, they could even guarantee that the war would be waged before four o'clock in the afternoon, but what good would that be? War cannot be solved in a day or two, and how to preserve one's own strength and maximize the damage to the enemy is the most fundamental problem.

If they are so impulsive every time, then maybe after a few big battles, the 103rd Division will have to go home, because at that time, they may no longer have the strength to fight, and they have trained hard for more than a year, if you count the reserves, every soldier in this unit has more than two years of military age, is it possible that just a few days on the battlefield will destroy the results of more than two years of training?

"Can the supplies keep up?" Li Yunchang frowned tightly, he had been thinking about this problem all day today, because he had just set off yesterday, the problem of supply had not yet appeared, but today, with the advance of the troops, although there was still no problem with the supply, the time of each supply was extended by several hours.

Although this is something that must be passed through in the course of the war and is a problem that no country can avoid, Li Yunchang has no choice but to attach importance to this issue.

Now it is only his 103rd Division, and about tomorrow, the 18th, 41st, 43rd, 46th, and 50th Divisions of the Sixth Army of the First Army, that is, all the troops of the Sixth Army, plus the 97th, 153rd and 200th Divisions of the Reserve, a total of eight infantry divisions, will enter Russia one after another.

Although the problem of those infantry is not within the scope of his consideration, the 103rd Division must also take into account the problem of infantry, and it can't ignore the infantry behind, and their armored soldiers will rush forward with their heads buried in their heads, right? How far can they go in that case? At a distance of more than two hundred kilometers from the infantry, they will be alone.

And these infantry have not yet completed mechanization, and even logistics are now only semi-mechanized, which is a bit too much, in fact, the trucks that are really equipped are only enough for a quarter of the use.

Once the advance is too far, then the supply of nearly 200,000 troops on the entire Western Front will become a big problem.

Moreover, after yesterday's battle, Li Yunchang also deeply realized a problem, if you only rely on the 103rd Division, there is no problem in charging into battle and defeating the enemy, but it will be difficult to annihilate the enemy, they simply do not have enough troops, if you want to fight an earth-shattering battle and win the battle, you must rely on the infantry behind you to help.

If more Russian troops can be eliminated in the first battle of Borja, it will be equivalent to pulling the Russian army into their advantageous area for a decisive battle, once the Russian army is defeated, then they will have more time to establish a supply base on the front line, which is still very helpful for the whole battle later.

"At the moment, there is no problem with supplies." Huang Jianbin didn't know Li Yunchang's plans, and responded decently.

"Well, order the troops, only advance twenty kilometers today, and then stop. In addition, contact the Sixth Army, see where their troops are, urge them, if possible, drive the train directly to Russia, get off near Borja, give the Russians more time, attract as many Russian troops as possible to Borja, and we will have a decisive battle with them here, destroy as many Russian troops as possible, and pave the way for future advances. Li Yunchang said his plan.

"A decisive battle? Isn't it too early? Huang Jianbin was surprised.

A decisive battle is indispensable in a war, and every decisive battle can basically be called a battle, and the number of troops invested by both sides is absolutely unprecedented.

And the winning side will lay the advantage of victory, just like the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping during the Warring States Period, which killed more than 400,000 troops of Zhao in the first battle, which also led to the inability of Zhao to recover in the next few decades, and eventually led to the destruction of the country.

They planned a decisive battle in Borgia, although it would not have the effect of the Battle of Changping, but it was at least guaranteed that after the decisive battle, they would gain absolute control within a radius of hundreds of miles with Borja as the center.

However, the war has just begun, and it is still uncertain how many troops the Russian army has here, besides, will the Russian army be so stupid to fight a decisive battle with them? If the war has not yet begun, and they are blatantly stationing troops on the border, then it is indeed possible to attract more Russian troops to come, but now, will the Russian army still come?

Especially after yesterday's battle, a division of the Russian army was easily defeated by about a brigade of troops of the 103rd Division, and more than half of the casualties were lost.

If Huang Jianbin was the commander of the Russian army, he would definitely not do this, but chose to give up the land, exchange space for time, and then in the depths of Russia, stretch the supply line of the 103rd Division as much as possible, and then go to the decisive battle when he is ready, at least then the hope of victory will be greater.

"The sooner the decisive battle, the more beneficial it will be for us, and we are so aimlessly looking for the Russian army, which is a bit too nonsensical, it is better to correct the posture, make our identity clear, attract more Russian troops to come, and then kill them in turn."
