There are three divisions in Inner Mongolia, the first division of Inner Mongolia, the second division of Inner Mongolia and the third division of Inner Mongolia, each division has 10,000 people.

The Inner Mongolia Division has a distinctive feature, that is, they are all cavalry, and these people originally had war horses, and it was impossible for Lin Fei not to use them.

Lin Fei equipped the Inner Mongolia Division with firearms, sent Huaxia instructors to train them, and after more than a year, finally trained a team that was not weak in combat effectiveness.

Lin Fei ordered the 3rd Armored Division to join the three Inner Mongolian divisions to form the Inner Mongolia Army and march to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of the Mongol Empire.

In this way, the Mongol Empire must divide its forces to defend against an attack from the south, and the pressure on Niu Dalong's side will be much less, Niu Dalong rested in Nerchensk for two days, and waited until the 3rd and 4th Northeast Divisions arrived, and then continued to attack Ulaanbaatar.

In the two days that Niu Dalong rested, Lin Fei told Niu Dalong not to underestimate the latest artillery combat vehicles of the Russian army, because the Russian artillery combat vehicles come from Germany, and Germany's technical strength is not weak, especially the internal combustion engine technology, according to the latest scientific and technological information, Germany already has a gasoline engine with a power of 150 kilowatts, and the size of this type of gasoline engine can be installed on the artillery combat vehicle.

Germany is not only not weak in engine technology, but also in artillery technology and protective armor technology, so this type of artillery fighting vehicle of the Russian army should definitely not be underestimated.

Niu Dalong heard Lin Fei say this, and became more cautious.

Lin Fei told Niu Dalong that the track life of the Russian artillery combat vehicles should not exceed 150 kilometers, so they will only operate near Ulaanbaatar, and you can boldly rely on the railway to maneuver, so Niu Dalong led the troops to rely on the railway to maneuver to an area 200 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, and then left the railway and moved along the highway (the so-called highway is the road taken by ordinary business travelers, not the road paved with cement in China).

Outside Ulaanbaatar is a magnificent grassland, standing on a high place with an unobstructed view, this kind of terrain conditions, it is difficult for the enemy to launch an ambush on the Huaxia army, this battle, must be a tough encounter with artillery and chariots.

Niu Dalong was worried that the troops would be attacked by Russian artillery and combat vehicles, so the advance was relatively slow, and on April 18, they arrived at a distance of 100 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, when the front-line scouts sent a message and found a large number of Russian troops, including artillery combat vehicles.

It turned out that the Russians' thinking was relatively direct, and it was manifested on the battlefield that they could fight directly without going around the corner, so they directly deployed artillery and combat vehicles on the battle line, and if Lin Fei commanded the battle, he would definitely find a way to cover up the new weapons, and then take the enemy by surprise.

Niu Dalong immediately asked about the appearance and number of Russian artillery fighting vehicles, and the scout reported that the number of Russian artillery fighting vehicles was about fifty, and in terms of appearance, it was similar to our plundering artillery fighting vehicles.

When Lin Fei designed the artillery combat vehicle of the plunder, he put several distinctive features of the modern tank on it, such as the overhead turret, the driver is located in the front of the body, has a separate cab, and the commander has the highest observation position, etc., these characteristics were quickly learned by countries around the world, so the artillery combat vehicles of all countries in the world look similar to the fire of invasion.

Niu Dalong heard that there were only fifty artillery chariots in the Russian army, and he didn't dare to be careless, because he didn't know whether the Russian army only had fifty artillery chariots or many artillery chariots, and only fifty were taken out at this time, and he didn't know the performance of the Russian artillery chariots, so he decided to send the plundering artillery chariots to test the Russian artillery chariots.

The news reached the 1st Armored Division, and the division commander Lei Guang personally entered an invading artillery fighting vehicle to challenge the Russian artillery fighting vehicle.

All of Lei Guang's subordinates objected, and Lei Guang only said one sentence: "This is an order." "No one spoke anymore.

Lei Guang entered a plundering artillery chariot and personally served as the commander, driver, and loader were still the original crew members, while the other three predatory artillery chariots surrounded Lei Guang and acted as protection.

Lei Guang gradually approached the Russian position, only to see that the Russian position did not dig anti-tank trenches, only a wall of earth and stone, and the wall was almost one person high.

Since the Russian army does not have anti-tank trenches, it shows that they take artillery and combat vehicles very seriously, and are confident that their artillery combat vehicles can kill the invading artillery and combat vehicles of the Chinese army.

Lei Guang's upper body was exposed on the outside of the plundering artillery chariot, holding a machine gun in his hand and a telescope on his chest, at this time he saw a Russian artillery chariot, the appearance of the Russian artillery chariot was similar to the fire of the invasion, surrounded by a group of people, it seemed to be overhauling.

Lei Guang calculated the distance, within the range of the machine gun, and then manipulated the machine gun, a long point shot over, several people fell, the Russian camp was suddenly in chaos, and soon, four Russian artillery fighting vehicles rushed out from behind the breastwork.

When these artillery chariots rushed out, Lei Guang was taken aback, because their speed was obviously faster than that of the plundering artillery chariots, and it was much faster, the maximum speed of the road maneuvering of the plundering artillery chariots was forty kilometers per hour, and the off-road speed was twenty-five kilometers per hour, and the off-road speed of the Russian artillery chariots on the opposite side exceeded thirty-five kilometers per hour, which meant that in the field, the predatory artillery chariots no longer had a mobility advantage.

Cold sweat oozed from Lei Guang's forehead, he was used to the crushing advantage of the Plundering Artillery Chariot, and now he suddenly saw something surpass the Predator Artillery Chariot appear, and his heart was bottomless.

Lei Guang gritted his teeth fiercely, and secretly thought, the artillery combat vehicle competes in the three major properties of firepower, protection and mobility, and the Russian artillery combat vehicle surpasses us in mobility, and may not be able to surpass it in other aspects.

Lei Guang got into the turret, locked the hatch, used the periscope to observe the position of the Russian artillery fighting vehicle, and ordered the gun commander: "Open fire on the Russian artillery fighting vehicle." ”

The artillery commander immediately ordered the driver to stop, aimed at the Russian artillery tank, and fired a shot, but the Russian artillery tank kept moving, and this shell did not hit the target at all.

There is no Blue Bird on the Plundering Artillery Chariot, so they can only fight on their own, and when they see the Thunder Light's Plundering Artillery Chariot fired, they also opened fire, but the Plundering Fire was really uncertain about hitting a stationary target, so none of the shells hit the target.

At this time, the Russian artillery and combat vehicles also stopped firing, and in the process, Lei Guang found that although the Russian artillery and combat vehicles were fast, it took a long time to stop and fire, which could not but be said to be one of its major weaknesses.

When the Russian artillery chariots opened fire, the invading artillery chariots began to move, dodging the shells, and they were not hit, the two sides were shooting at each other, behind the Russian defense line, more than a dozen artillery chariots rushed out, Lei Guang saw that the number of enemy troops far exceeded his own, he did not dare to fight, and led his subordinates to return, and the Russian artillery chariots did not chase after him.

Lei Guang returned to the barracks and immediately reported the battle to Niu Dalong and a group of technicians.

Lei Guang said: "The biggest feature of the Russian artillery combat vehicle is its high speed, according to my calculations, the cross-country speed should exceed 35 kilometers per hour, far exceeding our predatory artillery combat vehicle. ”

"As for firepower and protection, judging from the rate of fire of artillery, it is comparable to our predatory fire, and the range of artillery should be greater than ours, as for the power of the shells and armor performance, since we have not hit each other, it is impossible to judge, but I see that the enemy's shells fell on the ground and did not explode, they may be equipped with armor-piercing shells that do not explode, and the armor looks thicker."

Niu Dalong nodded lightly and said in a worried voice: "The enemy has artillery and chariots that are not weaker than ours, and we must be extremely cautious in this battle." ”

There was a lot of depression in the tent, they had become accustomed to having absolute superiority over the enemy, and now their superiority was negated, everyone was not used to it, and some even began to wonder if we could win this battle.

Niu Dalong waved his hand and said: "The enemy is stronger than imagined, let's not attack rashly, order all troops, prepare for defense, and wait until we figure out the enemy's reality before attacking." ”

Everyone walked out one after another, leaving only Lei Guang, who walked in front of Niu Dalong, lowered his voice and said, "Commander, hurry up and ask Emperor Fei to let His Majesty dispatch the next generation of artillery chariots." ”

"Does Your Majesty have the next generation of artillery chariots?"

"There should be, you think, we can produce 70 artillery chariots of invasion in a month, since the artillery chariots of plundering were put into production, it has been more than three years now, and in these three years, we should be able to produce 2,500 artillery chariots, but as a result, only 800 artillery chariots of invading have been produced, and they will no longer be produced."

"Why is that? It's not because Your Majesty wants to save production capacity and produce the next generation of artillery combat vehicles, and I heard Minister Ling Xue inadvertently mention that Your Majesty is developing the next generation of artillery combat vehicles, at that time it was more than a year ago, and now the next generation of artillery combat vehicles should be able to come out, right? ”

Niu Dalong thought about it and felt that what Lei Guang said made sense, so he said: "I know, I will ask Your Majesty for instructions and ask Your Majesty to send the next generation of artillery chariots to help in the battle." ”

After Niu Dalong finished speaking, he sent a telegram to Lin Fei, and then anxiously waited for Lin Fei's reply, and after more than five hours, Lin Fei finally sent the telegram back, and Niu Dalong opened the telegram with excitement.
