Chapter 489: A Difficult Decision

was already in a state of helplessness, but when he heard the peak turn, Yang Yuanzhao raised his head with joy in his heart, and then noticed that it was Wang Yibing, a staff officer of the military department, who spoke, who had a very in-depth understanding of tactics, and was generally on the side of the base camp, responsible for the planning and implementation of tactics.

Yang Yuanzhao asked, "What kind of troops are buying and selling in the city!" ”

Wang Yibing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be said that it is very close, it is near there, it is part of the second battalion of the special forces!" ”

Special forces, Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, he seemed to remember that the second battalion was a newly established special forces, which had just been trained in basic subjects and was sent out for training, and it was Wang Yibing who was in charge.

"How many people, do they have radios?"

Wang Yibing said: "The number of people is not much, only about 400 people, there is a radio station, because it is survival training, so I chose the Mongolian steppe, by the way into the bitter cold zone of Siberia, it is just completed a wave, is resting near the buying and selling city, if you walk, you can reach the trading city in 3 hours at most!" ”

400 people, everyone is lost, especially Feng Yuxiang, they know that the special forces are very powerful, in terms of individual soldier ability, a top two, but this is not a latent operation, nor is it a battle behind enemy lines, this is a real frontal battlefield, if the 173 and 179 divisions arrive, the 2 divisions of the Russian army, there are almost more than 20,000 people, and 4~00 people are simply not enough for them to stuff their teeth.

Yang Yuanzhao pondered for a moment, and then turned to Wang Yibing and asked, "The defense system over there in the buying and selling city was designed by you!" ”

Wang Yibing nodded and said, "If we make reasonable use of our inherent system. It's unlikely that you'll hold the city of buying and selling, but it's possible to press a nail here! ”

"Ann Nail. How to install nails. Jiang Baili asked with interest. As a master of strategy, he is also the executive principal of the Northwest Military Academy. I have always been curious about the special forces, but the special forces are directly under the jurisdiction of Yang Yuanzhao, although the number is not large, but the combat effectiveness is amazing.

Wang Yibing looked at everyone with some concern, but Yang Yuanzhao looked at him and said, "The battle is about to start, don't worry, just say it!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yibing took out a copy of the text, and then said: "Our special combat team was 2 years ago. In the layout of the trading city, the trading city is considered a commercial city, there is no zài defense above the things, not even the city wall, but the commercial city has its unique things, we with the help of the chamber of commerce and fixed caravans, in the buying and selling city to buy 102 plots of land, not only built small reinforced concrete houses, but also dug a large number of underground passages! ”

"Underground?" Jiang Baili and Feng Yuxiang looked dazed. On the contrary, Yang Yuanzhao interjected: "The location of the trading city is too close to Kyakhta, so it is impossible to build a defense clearly and fix the position. Moving from the ground to the ground is also a comprehensive consideration.

Yang Yuanzhao is indeed a comprehensive consideration, but the greater inspiration comes from the war movies that he often watched in later generations. With an all-in-one machine, it can barely replicate a hydraulic excavator. The difficulty of underground construction is not very great. 102 plots of land, almost distributed in all locations of the trading city, when it was designed, it could accommodate one division, or even two divisions of soldiers, and the team of 400 people could never protect the trading city, but the personnel were reduced, and the familiarity with the terrain was used to shuttle underground, which seemed to be more able to play the role of special forces.

Jiang Baili understood the strength of the underground fortifications, especially when he knew that when the underground fortifications were being constructed, the northwest also specially stored one step of munitions in them, although the number was not large, but it was prepared with two divisions fighting continuously for seven days.

It can be said that as long as the 400 special forces can give full play to their strength, it is impossible to hold the trading city, and it is very possible to set a nail, as long as the trading city does not completely fall into the hands of the Russian army, the first division can continue to advance, the victory or defeat is really uncertain, the trading city is an important passage, once it is stuck here, the Russian army does not dare to enter Mongolia lightly.

Everyone looked at Yang Yuanzhao, 400 people, even if everyone is one as ten, facing an army of 20,000 people, even if they can hold it, this battle will be very difficult, if the Russian army is stationed today, then at least it will be 3 days, or even 4 days, which is definitely a heavy pressure for the special forces, and it is also a difficult battle.

Although it is a matter of the war situation, no one will make a decision for Yang Yuanzhao, everyone knows that the special forces are Yang Yuanzhao's own place, if it is like a battalion, established for more than 2 years, has undergone strict training, and has experienced actual combat special forces, I am afraid that needless to say, Jiang Baili will let them directly top, war, how can there be no sacrifice, but for the second battalion, which is still in training, and can not even be called a finished special forces, it is inconvenient to say many things.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Yuanzhao, of course Yang Yuanzhao knew what they meant, thought about it for a while, turned his gaze to Wang Yibing, and asked with a little solemnity: "How many training subjects have been completed by the second battalion of special forces!" ”

"Individual tactics, martial arts, shooting, skirmishes and survival training!"

"In other words, only the last two major items have not been completed?" Yang Yuanzhao said in a deep voice, the last two major items are the most comprehensive projects of the special forces, in a sense, the elimination rate is also the highest, the second battalion has a total of 1,800 people at the beginning, even now, after most of the projects are completed, it has been eliminated to about 900 people, if the last two projects are completed, it is good to be able to leave 350 people.

The last two projects have not been completed, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness is not good, if you count the fixed defensive battle, 400 people are fully qualified, it cannot be said that one is ten, but the combat effectiveness of 400 people can be used as about 2,000, such a force is really not small.

Yang Yuanzhao slowly bottlenecked down, he knew very well that on the battlefield, sacrifice is almost inevitable, as long as you become a soldier and participate in the war, you have to face sacrifice, and the same is true for special forces, in order to sacrifice less, in order to pay less, at a critical moment, you must go up.

The same is true for special forces, not because they directly belong to Yang Yuanzhao, they can ignore these sacrifices, but they need to face them positively.

"Okay, immediately contact the trading city and the second battalion, and someone will bring them the underground defense map!"

"Yes!" Wang Yibing stood up and accepted the order.

As an operational staff officer, especially an operational staff officer who is in direct contact with the special forces, Wang Yibing has the means to contact the special forces, and the trading city is also an internal line with an intelligence bureau, and the number of people is small, but he controls the construction of underground fortifications.

"By the way, there's one thing to be aware of!" It was Liu Shu's assistant in government affairs who spoke, Liu Wenju from the Liu family, who flipped through the materials in his hand and said solemnly: "Hearing your discussion, the trading city is destined to be undefended, and the Russian army's troops are directly aimed at the trading city, so do we need to evacuate the personnel of the trading city!" ”

Themselves, the people who were about to leave, there was a sudden shock, especially Liu Shu and Yang Yuanzhao, unlike the soldiers, when they collected information about the previous Russia, they knew very well what kind of virtue the Russians were, especially the Cossacks, and the countless atrocities in the Far East were closely related to them.

"Brother Zelin, can we afford to retreat from the personnel in the trading city!"

"This!" Liu Shu was stunned, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid not, because in the buying and selling city, except for our own chamber of commerce, we persuade other people not to move!" ”

What Liu Shu said is the truth, the trading city is an important border trade gateway between China and Russia, just under Kyakhta, because Kyakhta is a Russian city, the Chinese are not very convenient in it, on this side of the Chinese border, the establishment of the trading city, from the name can be seen, is a city specializing in trading, because close to the Sino-Russian border, the trade of the two countries complements each other, all along, the trade volume has been rising, especially after the rise of the northwest, because of the convenient conditions between Mongolia and the northwest, there are more people who come here to do business.

The personnel under the Northwest Banner, plus the people who influence, at most occupy 30% of all the chambers of commerce in the trading city, and the rest is really not easy, sue them that the Russian army is coming, put down a fortune and run away, in order to save their lives, don't joke, don't really see it, who will believe it, there are also Russian troops in Kyakhta, it's not the same, it doesn't matter, not every Russian army is extremely vicious.

"Do as much as you can! If it really doesn't work, don't force it too much! "Yang Yuanzhao's words can be regarded as the main tone set for this matter, everyone has a job, especially the General Staff, two divisions of the Russian army, it is possible to arrive 5 days in advance, or even earlier, maybe today and tomorrow, the entire Mongolian war situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, the battlefield plans formulated before, almost all of them are useless, they must formulate a series of battlefield plans under the existing situation, in order to deal with things at different levels. 、

The people under him are busy, Yang Yuanzhao stayed quietly in the war room, he didn't understand the military things, but the situation of the war has deteriorated to the current situation, I am afraid it has something to do with the carelessness of the northwest, the Russian army lost the Russo-Japanese War, but it is one of the great powers, and it is the largest country in the world, Russia itself has a strong strength, one set off in advance, let him be in a hurry, if he really presses a qiē, can he resist it.

The distance of 2,000 kilometers has cut off a lot of emotions and contacts, and many things cannot be controlled, Yang Yuanzhao doesn't even know what kind of test will be ushered in in the trading city thousands of miles away, and how many casualties will be caused in this battle by 400 special forces who have not fully trained.
