The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, for Cai Ng, although the order of the second article, some of him scratched his head, but he can fight a battle in a regular manner, and give full play to the strength of the first division, Cai Ye is also willing to fight, face the Russian regular army head-on, show the strength of the northwest and its own level, why not do it.

Cai Ye looked at the position under his feet, and thought slightly in his heart, if it was according to the battle with the Russian army, the current position would be a little out of place, and adjustments must be made, of course, give up the task of comprehensively arranging the high ground next, and start to build artillery positions instead, Next, the troops will break forward, 9 kilometers in front of the preset position, and the troops will be placed in parallel, a total of three echelons, the first in a natural hilly area on the west side of the city, to build a front-line position, It's only three or four kilometers away from Kyakhta, almost a little parallel to the buying and selling city.

The division of 21,000 people, if all of them are really moved, the momentum is amazing, especially the front-line positions, just set up some trenches, if it is fast, it will be built in a day or two, even if it is some anti-artillery holes and the like, it will take a week at most, and it should be possible to complete the arrangement before the German officer corps, as for whether the Russian army will attack after 10 days, Cai Ye does not care at all, it is best to attack after 10 days, even if it is an early attack, then fight, soldiers are to fight, even if the position is not fully constructed. will not be afraid of the onslaught of the Russian army.

Kyakhta's Arkasha is really a little incomprehensible, and the laying of the opponent's first position, in a sense, is in line with the military layout. It happened to be in his most uncomfortable position, so that he couldn't move a little, and he watched the other party stand down, and the next extended position was a little weird, isn't it. Do they really think that his 122nd and 156th divisions will not dare to attack?

Looking at the hot position on the opposite side, Alkasha hesitated for a moment, and finally decisively gave the order, 2 cavalry regiments. Rushing at the vanguard, the division is under artillery fire, ready to support, in the eyes of Alkasha, maybe a fixed position, a preset battlefield and the like, the Chinese army has a perfect layout, and the elusive will make him suffer a big loss. But in the field, even if the other party enters the battlefield first, he is not afraid at all.

Calm Kyakhta. The action began again, the 122nd and 156th divisions, the Russian army in the traditional sense, did not have a Cossack formation, but the remaining Cossack cavalry of the previous 173 and 179 divisions, some of the surviving horses. Plus filled with some Russian officers, it is still possible to pull out a team. After making the necessary battlefield mobilization, they were released.

Honestly. The morale of the Russian army of these two regiments is not high, to be honest, the previous blow was too great, almost the entire two divisions were buried in, the two regiments pulled out are the last part left, or the disrupted arrangement, some of them have not yet recovered from injury, in short, if they can be pulled out, you can see the ability.

For Arkasha, this is also helpless, tentative attacks, attack, and even not too much hope, but the distance of more than 4 kilometers, plus the charge and breakthrough, except for the cavalry, there is really no other type of troops that can quickly rush to this position, the unobstructed steppe, the cavalry still has a very important role.

At the same time as there was movement in Kyakhta, a high ground next to it, in the middle of the dusky sand and grass, a telescope suddenly appeared, and after seeing the situation in Kyakhta, he whispered to the back of the code, behind the high ground, an equally hidden good soldier, was using a portable radio station, to send a report to the headquarters, only a few simple numbers could be sent, but it clearly explained what happened in Kyakhta.

With convenient communication tools, coupled with the monitoring of special forces, any action of Kyakhta is in the full monitoring of the Northwest Army When Kyakhta moves, there is a radio broadcast to the command headquarters, Cai Yi smiled coldly, the current defense system has not been completely completed, at this time, a head-on confrontation with the Russian army, it may not be lost, but it will cause a large number of casualties, or wait, besides, the Germans have not come up yet.

Cai Ye picked up the phone, dialed a number, and the artillery position had been completed, the red phone rang immediately, and the commander of the artillery regiment picked up the phone, listening to the familiar voice in the microphone, and after a series of answers, the entire artillery regiment boiled. On the way, the artillery regiment, which had endured a lot of hardships and was already somewhat depressed, arrived and did the work of unfolding and reinforcing again, and finally had the opportunity to make a move, of course, to seize it, this was a dignified national war, and it was against Russia, a polar bear that had fallen into a bloody debt in China.

Strict training, so that the soldiers of the artillery regiment than the Russian army more professional, prescribed and systematic actions, so that from preparation to launch, saving a lot of time, among them, about the mapping of the shooting Zhuyuan, also to the front, in the war, the formation of two systems, but for the special forces, these two systems are not a problem at all, casually, you can cross, except for the newly adjusted layout in the city, there is no way to do the door clear, other measurement results have been made.

When the artillery regiment was all ready, the Cossack cavalry had just assembled, came out of Kyakhta, lined up in a neat camp, and rushed towards the forward positions of the 1st Division.

4 kilometers, even if it is a fast horse, it takes at least 10 minutes, these times, for artillery fire, enough, a telescope, looking at the position of the Russian army in the distance, according to the position of the change of azimuth coordinates, loudly with the microphone ordered: "High-explosive flowering shell, azimuth 965:548, inclination 37 degrees, three bursts of rapid fire." ”

The same order, which was received from the mouths of other officers, according to the established procedure, was slightly different in the number jΓΉ directions, but it was in a place where the Russian cavalry was concentrated, accompanied by the officer's order, belonging to the artillery regiment 48 guns 108, and 12 guns 155 were ready to fire at the same time.

108, the template is Krupp's 108 long-range howitzer, and it has been slightly modified, such as the material of the reinforced gun body, and some aiming settings, which are gradually matched after the development of Baotou's optical equipment, which looks inconspicuous, but improves the power of the cannon, larger loading capacity and muzzle velocity, so that the cannon of 108 can have a range of more than 15 kilometers, as for 155, not to mention, it can be said that it is the king of heavy artillery, which was originally copied on the naval gun, Now in the development of Baotou munitions industry, after a series of improvements, the power is stronger, the range is about the same as 108, but in terms of power, it is definitely more than three times stronger than 108, plus the explosives and fuses inside the shell, slightly stronger than the original Krupp, so that they are not well-known, but it is a world-class army artillery, the only drawback, I am afraid that it is too heavy, and the overall weight is about 15% heavier than similar German products.

Heavy artillery, especially heavy guns of more than 100 mm, each weighing several tons, for the division's firepower, weight, is an important element that affects artillery equipment, even in Europe, there are inconvenient places, Yang Yuanzhao is not without considering this problem, the key is that the power and weight can only choose one situation, Yang Yuanzhao can only consider, always only power, after all, only the power is enough, can play a role, for the time being, for him, for a long time, He was fighting on the inner line, expanding the traffic between Baotou and the northwest outward, and at the same time, he was able to consider the direction of strategic progress, Mongolia was an accident, and the battle of buying and selling cities was an accident within an accident.

The heavy artillery unit, compared to other troops, was delayed for at least 3 days before it arrived, which still cost 1,500 cars damaged, and even scrapped one-tenth of them, but fortunately, the heavy artillery has arrived, and the arrangement has been completed, with the power of the heavy artillery, it will definitely surprise the Russians.

With the support of heavy artillery, and without the support of heavy artillery at all, this power is completely different things, in the previous war, even if the Russian army was dispatched, the city of buying and selling either relied on snipers to block, or it was closer, and some local arrangements were used to destroy the Russian army, and now, as long as the distance is within the range, the artillery can speak.

The artillerymen began to skillfully manipulate the artillery fire, because the cannon body was relatively heavy, and some labor-saving and fixed small designs, on top of the cannon, were undoubtedly displayed, and the muzzle of the gun showed 37 degrees, facing the front, which was a place where the Russian army must pass, and at this time it was still a grassland.

The sound of horses' hooves, the Russian army passed through the city gate, more than 2,000 people rushed out, and the Alkasha on the head of the city looked at him coldly, and he was surprised to find that in front of them three kilometers away, the Chinese army was not nervous, and was preparing in the author's order, as if this group of attacking troops did not exist.

What the hell is going on, Alkasha was stunned for a moment, the previous Chinese army's appearance completely subverted his impression of the Chinese soldiers, this is an army that has reached the level of a first-class army in Europe, it should not make such a simple mistake, and he was trying to reconnoiter it with firepower, but a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, making him turn to the core direction of the Chinese army at the end, where the heavy artillery positions have begun to be arranged, because they are too far apart, their artillery fire can't reach, so they don't care, it's difficult, The range of those cannons can envelop the entire front line.

The telescope quickly found the direction, Alkasha saw the 60 cannons that had been prepared, obviously, in the state of waiting for the excitation, the secret channel was not good, and was about to order the cavalry regiment to disperse and carry out anti-artillery operations, after all, the unprotected cavalry, in the face of the salvo fire formed by the heavy artillery, the final result was tragic, but unfortunately Alkasha moved a little slower, and the roar of the cannon came at the next moment.
