There was endless international debate, and the officer corps secretly sent by Germany, who successfully passed Guò Yang Yuanzhao, obtained permission to go to the city of Trading, but their itinerary was deliberately controlled, and the railway was still average, and it would basically take between 10 and 15 days to get to the highway and the next route from Kulen to the city of Trading, which gave the front line enough time to prepare.

The eyes returned to the front line of the buying and selling city, the artillery fire was still noisy, the reserve shells of the 4 divisions let Alkasha deliberately squander it, leaving only a piece of tiles and bricks on the ground, but the only few buildings were still strong, several attacks, did not achieve results, but lost the helmet qì, and even when Alkasha did not realize it, the first division had already begun to arrive.

12 kilometers north of the city, the first division's preset position, 2,000 soldiers, are sweating like rain, this is the largest highland north of the city, in fact, in the Mongolian steppe, the highland is generally not very high, at most three or four hundred meters, and most of them are mud structures or sand and gravel structures, not too strong, but the benefits of the highlands for the preset position, or let the first division set the position here.

The troops of the 1st Division had not yet fully arrived, especially the mechanized tools had not yet arrived, and all these vanguard units needed to do was to dig trenches around the heights, portable sapper shovels, some necessary tools for digging trenches, and the only inconvenience was the large trees. Although deeper into Siberia, there is a large number of natural coniferous forests. It's a pity that this side is a vast grassland. There is some lack of trees.

Fortunately, in the warehouses of the trading city, there is also a batch of large industrial steel, which is used as a support for the large steel structure, but also a spare material for the construction of the position, because the battle in the trading city is in full swing, basically it is useless, so through the guò tunnel and Toma, transported to 12 kilometers away, these are used as skeletons. The construction of anti-artillery holes is different from permanent fortifications, and the outside is protected against artillery with a thick layer of soil and exquisite design.

This main position is small and far away, in order to ensure safety, the fighters did not even move more on the high ground, and for three days, it has not been discovered by the Russian army in Kyakhta at all, but now. The laying of the outer ring positions, the blocking positions, and the positions of two more small heights has been completed, and another 3,000 troops have arrived. Regardless of fatigue, he has entered those positions, unless the Russian army is completely wounded. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to occupy this position.

At this time, don't say that the Russian army did not find out. Even if it is discovered, what can it be, the position constructed in the northwest. It is not a simple trench, he was under the mention of Yang Yuanzhao, verified by countless staff officers, and even after a large number of exercises, the trench system finally established, the necessary part is reinforced with steel and concrete structures, and it has strong practicability.

More and more personnel arrived, with the passage of time, especially the arrival of the rear support motor vehicle fleet, a large number of accessories and motor vehicles, the heavy fire formation of the first division marched very fast, almost 4 days after the arrival of the vanguard troops, arrived at the preset position, at this time, the Russian army in Kyakhta was surprised to find that the original Chinese reinforcements arrived.

Thousands of troops are so difficult to fight, and now it is obvious that the troops of a division have arrived, which makes the face of Alkasha, who found the Chinese reinforcements, change a little, the 10-day attack, especially the 122nd division led the offensive for a week, he can really see the strength of the northwest, especially the emergence of special forces, accurate marksmanship, elusive, a little careless, you can mix into the Kyakhta and attack directly, which makes the current Kyakhta people panic, the kind of small artillery that can be carried by individual soldiers, is even more unguardable, Although the firing range cannot be compared with that of artillery, the rate of fire is fast, it is easy to move, and it is at night, so it is impossible to prevent it at all, because the losses caused by shells are increasing every day.

The cumulative losses in 7 days reached 11,000 people, only half of them were directly reduced, and the rest were wounded, and the harsh conditions in the Far East made the wounded not get good care at all, and not many of them could survive, and the mortality rate of the wounded was very high in the modern army, which did not have a universal system of nurses and military hospitals. Two first-class divisions, almost 30,000 men, attacked a small city defended by no more than 5,000 people, and in the case of destroying most of the buildings, they lost their troops and lost even more than the number of opponents, which was the first time that Alkasha had fought for so many years and encountered it.

Now, Alkasha also knows that the other party has underground buildings or underground fortifications, otherwise, under the fact that most of the buildings are destroyed and the connection between them is severed, it is impossible to move so quickly in the two rooms, for the underground fortifications, they also tentatively attacked, and even sent a large number of soldiers to forcibly enter the trading city, to look for underground fortifications everywhere, but there is not much effect, and even the entrance of some underground fortifications was specially left by the Northwest Army, and they entered rashly, Basically, there is no return.

It's really like a hedgehog, pinching and pinching, hitting and fighting, there is no place to start, now, the other party's reinforcements are coming, compared to the traps everywhere, oil and salt do not enter the trading city, he prefers to fight with the regular army of the Northwest Army, obviously, the other party does not think so, not only set the position behind the trading city, but also build a position on the spot, obviously do not want to fight the field battle, especially the chosen location, it is simply uncomfortable for him, as long as it is a little farther away, he can take the initiative to attack, bypassing the trading city to attack, A little closer, maintaining the momentum of suppressing the trading city, you can also fight a dozen, so not far away, not close, it is a headache.

At this time, how can Alkasha underestimate the northwest, underestimate the posture of the Chinese, and if you underestimate it, all the troops will be filled in, a small trading city, with a cumulative of 25,000 troops, is still difficult to move an inch, and it has been fighting for almost 10 days, or at the origin, not only Chita There is a lot of dissatisfaction, but also the Tsar's reprimand in the country.

In the eyes of the tsar, China is the future of Yellow Russia, is a natural place to increase the size of Russia's territory, not to mention taking it away, sending nearly 210,000 troops, and even tens of thousands of people have arrived, but there is no effect, especially in the recent international community, the questioning voices of various countries have made the already irascible tsar like thunder, although he did not do anything to change the commander, but also repeatedly reprimanded.

As a veteran Cossack officer who rose from a series of wars, Samsolov knew very well that the tsar's patience had reached the bottom, and there were no achievements, let alone a front-line division commander, even if it was him, it was impossible to have a good time, and directly scolded Arkasha with cold words.

Arkasha is a division commander, as a division commander, he must have a certain overall view, not to mention that the international conflict between Russia and the northwest is boiling over, and it is impossible to exert direct pressure on him, but indirect pressure is coming, especially Samsolov's reprimand, which is fatal, but the current situation, how to break through?

Avdeyevich looked at the division commander who frowned, the excitement in his heart had already disappeared, he thought that coming was a good opportunity, an opportunity to go further, but now it seems that this is simply a big pit, swallowing up countless young men and many officers who want to go further like him.

The attendant came in in a hurry, and looking at the flustered attendant officer, Avdeyevich said angrily: "What is the matter in such a panic!" ”

"The Chinese army on the opposite side has come to increase its strength again!"

"Again, how many people are there!" Avdeyevich's head was red and he rebuked: "What kind of system is such a panic! ”

"They're coming with cannons!"

Cannon, without waiting for Avdeyevich to speak, Arkasha stood up and asked: "How much!" ”

"I don't know, anyway, a lot!"

This battle has been fought for so long, and the reason why the Russian army has not retreated due to its losses and generals, is that the other side has no artillery fire, to be exact, it is artillery fire that cannot be confronted by real artillery, and those portable artillery used for sneak attacks are not counted.

Artillery is the king of the army, in a sense, an army, only after having enough artillery fire, can have the ability to be strong and strong, the armament of the Chinese army, extravagance makes Alkasha a little envious, the only advantage is that China has no artillery, can only hide in the turtle shell to defend, and can not rush out, now, with artillery fire, no matter what it is, for the Russian army in Kyakhta, it is not good news.

Alkasha took the officer, quickly went to the head of Kyakhta, on the highest watchtower, with the highest magnification of the telescope, observing the situation 12 kilometers away, the huge truck, in the telescope became particularly eye-catching, and the cannon pulled behind, obviously, is not a small guy below 100 mm, are more than 100 mm cannons, it looks like there is an obvious German style, the most important thing is the number, the smaller 48 guns, the largest 12 guns, far away can not see the caliber, But it is obviously larger than their 120 cannons, and they are all cannons with executive body magnification, at least above 140.

All the officers they saw were discolored, they were very clear about the strength of the German artillery fire, the senior executives were doubled, representing the rapidity and range of firepower, the Northwest Army, which had no artillery fire, could fight with them like this, and now with the support of firepower, what would greet them, will the Northwest Army turn from defense to attack with artillery support, 10 days of fighting, so that all the officers understand that the opposite side is not an ignorant Qing army, he is really modernly trained, with a strong combat effectiveness of the modern army, When this modern army has more powerful artillery, they cannot expect that the opponent will not even be able to fight artillery.
