Chapter 540: Preparation of armored vehicles

How determined is Yang Yuanzhao, for the sake of Mongolia, even if he really starts a full-scale war with Russia, he is not afraid, not to mention that now, he has made sufficient preparations, even if all the remaining Russian troops arrive, the current defense system formed in the city is enough to resist, and some semi-permanent fortifications and permanent fortifications are combined with fortresses, maybe the Russian army can use millions or even more troops to break through.

Fight a dozen, give the Russian army a little color, while holding on, carry out a part of the attack, such a sudden attack, can definitely surprise the Russian army, not to mention that the Russian army on the opposite side is not the main force with high morale, it is a unit that has suffered a lot of blows, and its morale has disappeared, and it has lost most of its combat effectiveness.

After arriving at the front line of the trading city, Cai Yi led the first army, although at the beginning because of the road, some passive, but after arriving at the trading city, he has been fighting well, but in his heart, more or less depressed, obviously occupies a considerable advantage, but can not give full play to this potential, passive beating, although in the early stage, because of the brainless impact of the Russian army, they occupied a great advantage, annihilated a lot of Russian troops, but then, the Russian army, which has suffered losses, did not dare to continue the offensive at all, Now, in addition to some regular artillery bombardment, the Russian army is not even fighting a feint, which makes the front line of the 130,000 Northwest Army a little boring, and the two sides have formed a position, although there is a possibility of a breakthrough, without the consent of the northwest, he does not dare to decide to attack lightly.

Now, Yang Yuanzhao has finally lifted the ban on attacks, and even ordered the Russian army to fight a dozen, what does this mean, they can play freely, and their initiative has suddenly increased greatly.

The staff officers of the front line, almost all of the staff officers of the First Army and the Second Army were concentrated, in the previous defensive war, the role of the staff officers could not be played at all, it was good to deal with the enemy's attack, fixed defense and trench groups, these are the most basic things, they have long been trained to the bones, using fixed positions, consuming the strength of the Russian army, under boredom, after completing the set tasks, some young staff officers began to draw up battle plans, imaginatively, thinking about everything, some of them, Even high-ranking military officers will be amazed when they see it.

For these young staff officers, the formulation of such a battle plan, but to play, now found that it is really going to be applied, more than 400 staff officers, began to prepare for this battle, the battle is to be fought, is to be fought, it is to be fought, the plan they made before, it seems to come in handy, for them, now is to be as detailed as possible, strive for thorough perfection.

War, only suddenness, can be as much as possible to conceal themselves, kill and injure the enemy, even if the Russian army is demoralized, it is also a modern army, 18 divisions of the Russian army, even if the artillery equipment is not as good as the northwest, but it also has thousands of artillery pieces and 2000 Makqin, the Russian army is also as far as possible to arrange positions, if you do not consider the suddenness, when the time comes, the attack in the northwest is just a joke, and it will definitely suffer huge damage.

After a few months of fighting, except for the very beginning, when the special forces guarded the trading city, they lost almost more than 500 personnel, and the rest of the losses were not much, adding up, I am afraid that they would not exceed 2,000, compared with the Russian army, it is simply disproportionate, but now, under the situation of offensive and defensive changes, many things must be carefully considered.

The General Staff began to formulate a battle plan, and the vicinity of the trading city began to be lively, and the Northwest Army began to build defensive positions on a large scale, and began to expand outward on the original foundation, even approaching the side of the trading city.

Trenches, communication trenches, dense defense lines, artillery positions, the surrounding can take advantage of the geographical advantages above, basically, have been thoroughly utilized, for them, this is a matter of course, from the entire northwest, to create the soul of the entire northwest army, the northwest pays great attention to the earthwork, this kind of operation, for most of the Chinese army, is just perfunctory, some trenches are just dug to be able to lie down a person, but the northwest, specially developed for this multi-functional sapper shovel, It can be used as a fighting in the trenches to use sharp abnormalities, with the help of Yang Yuanzhao's materials, high and high carbon steel, hardness and sharpness are very terrible, greatly saving the body of these soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, spread out in the range of 5 square kilometers, one by one, showing a grid-like distribution, not only bright lines, but also dark lines, completely uniting the position and the trading city into a whole.

Such a move in the northwest, of course, will attract the attention of the opposite side, the Russian army, Samsolov's dismissal order has been issued, and it has not been directly sent to Kyakhta, this order will be announced after Brusinov leads a front army to come, and now the command of the Russian army is still under Samsolov's men.

After knowing the results of the war announced in the northwest and the war situation about Mongolia made the headlines of most of the world's newspapers and magazines, Samsolov knew that his days were short, and there was always a chance to recover from his dismissal, and he really buried all the current 150,000 people on the front line in Kyakhta, and even if he was captured, he would not even have a chance to make a comeback. Such a big movement of the Northwest Army will definitely attract his attention, although it is said that the Northwest Army did not attack, but what if it comes to attack? If it really attacks, the Russian army may not be able to really block the offensive of the Northwest Army, one is not good, the losses are huge, not only will it have to go to the military court, but even to the guillotine.

After a careful look, the top of the Russian army, including Samsolov, began to feel relieved, because these Northwest Army built fortifications, although they extended to the location of the buying and selling city, there are still four or five kilometers away from Kyakhta, plus the boundary river between them, it is very difficult to cross, and the current Russian army, the remaining dozen divisions, in order to avoid being attacked, the relative distance is relatively concentrated, and it is in a range of 20 kilometers wide and 40 kilometers long.

The plan formulated by the Tongguò General Staff and the emergency construction of protection are just to concentrate the troops of the Northwest Army from a 10-kilometer-long area to the vicinity of the buying and selling city, although the grassland is unobstructed, but when the special forces and some quasi-special forces reconnaissance troops, 6 divisions can still be concentrated about 4,000 people, these people have already been dispatched, around the Russian army, a line of defense has been arranged, Cai Ye and the staff officers have a great appetite, this time, it is really to give the Russian army a heavy blow.

The army is running in place, and the 20 203 of the defense system, except for the 4 in front are still in place, the others have been secretly withdrawn, plus most of the 155 of the 6 divisions, while building underground fortifications, they secretly moved forward, and entered the range of less than 7 kilometers away from Kyakhta, with a range of 203 guns and 20 kilometers, even if it is only underground, it has lost a certain distance of height advantage, which is enough to cover most of the main forces of the Russian army near Kyakhta.

Kyakhta has a relatively strong city defense, starting from 173 and 179, and successively built positions, within a range of 10 kilometers, almost all the current Russian army is concentrated in the process, the Russian army is not all elm heads, seeing the positions and trenches of the Northwest Army opposite, more or less also learned something, there is no barbed wire, but the laying of trenches and machine gun positions seems to be the same.

In the underground of the trading city, in an underground space next to the core area, 40 tractors are undergoing emergency modifications, and today, a few years later, with Baotou's strong manufacturing capacity, it will no longer be as simple as the simple iron plate used to deal with bandits, but a superstructure that really fits together.

Yang Yuanzhao promised Cai Yi's armored concept troops, because of the invasion of Beiyang and the subsequent changes in Mongolia, so that the armored corps that should have spent effort to establish was temporarily stopped, but the real yàn room and some arsenals and automobile factories still conducted part of the research on this, high-horsepower diesel engines, more than 400 horsepower is the advantage of Baotou, now in the world, other countries have not even exceeded 100 horsepower, larger diesel engines can push larger chassis, tractors are getting bigger and bigger, these more than 40 tractors, IT IS A PART OF THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY, AFTER THE CUTTING OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE, ONLY THE CHASSIS REMAINS, IN ORDER TO HAVE SUFFICIENT ANTI-ARTILLERY CHARACTERISTICS, THE SUPERSTRUCTURE IS SPECIALLY PROCESSED ACCORDING TO THE CHASSIS TO BE 40MM THICK, UNDER THE INTEGRATED FORMATION OF HIGH-STRENGTH CARBON-DOPED STEEL BY YANG YUANZHAO, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 80MM HOMOGENEOUS ARMOR, WHICH HAS A DEFENSIVE EFFECT ON MOST OF THE ARTILLERY OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY, UNLESS IT IS HIT HEAD-ON BY 150 OR 180 ARTILLERY FIRE, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BREAK THIS HOMOGENEOUS ARMOR.

Because of the involvement and all aspects, there is no choice of tank guns, the tank is a huge system, many faults and technical difficulties, not a year or two can be studied, but after having a superstructure, it is possible to install some machine guns, the upper floor is a total of 6 machine gun points, you can place six light machine guns, you can think of manipulation, and you can hide in the superstructure to operate, after the modification of the quasi-armored car, with 4 crews, a driver and a lookout, the remaining two are machine gunners, With the gearing, each person can control 3 machine guns.

After getting Yang Yuanzhao's order, Cai Ye has never been prepared to fight piecemeal, it is these steel weapons that give him confidence, after modification, a heavy armored vehicle with a total weight of up to 25 tons, firepower is still second, 40 together with the group impact, just the vehicle itself, is enough to tear apart the trench group in this era, not to mention that the Russian army has only learned some skin, no barbed wire, no battlefield blockage, and even the trench itself is similar, it looks the same, but in fact it is very different, As long as the Russian army is in the strongest place, a group of 40 armored vehicles is used to impact and form a breakthrough, and the follow-up infantry can enter along the depth of the breakthrough, forming a further blow to the Russian army and defeating the Russian army.
