866 Deep Trench Tank

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "We caught a camel without equipment, it should be yours, right?" ”

Lu Wansu said: "It should be ours, we saw that the wolves were slow to leave, so we had no choice but to come up with such a way, take off the bridle and chew of the undead camels, and then let them go, hoping that they can lure the wolves away, and when we get away, we will run in the other direction on the rest of the camels, hoping to escape." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Wansu sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the wolves were not led away, we had no choice but to light a fire here, hoping to block this group of wolves with fire!" ”

Lin Yuan looked at the fire, and then looked around, it was either sand or wild grass, and couldn't help asking, "There is nothing around here, what are you burning?" ”

"The burn is forage for the Russians, and most of the forage for the Russians is in the city and needs to be transported to the troops at the front," Luwansu said. ”

Lin Yuan looked at the emptiness around him, not like there was forage, so he asked, "What about the remaining forage?" It's all burned out? ”

Lu Wansu said: "Yes, the ones in the fire are the last batch, as soon as the fire is extinguished, the group of evil wolves will rush up and divide our bodies, if it weren't for Lin Shuai, we would definitely die here." ”

Lin Yuan smiled, and Lu Wansu continued: "By the way, Lin Shuai, since you are here, you must fight the Russians, right?" Winning and losing, we don't know the news on the road, and we want to know the road every day. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Of course we won, and it was a big victory, one of the Russian divisions was killed by us and lost its armor and fled!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered, and the sadness of being besieged by wolves and losing their companions was swept away, and Lin Yuan suddenly thought, "Forage! A few days ago, Zaheer told me that the Russians' war horses need to eat special forage, and just now Luwansu said that the Russians' forage is all in the city, and if I can capture the city as soon as possible and destroy this batch of forage, won't the other two Russians collapse without a fight? ”

Lin Yuan thought of this, and the idea of blitzkrieg trading city rose in his heart again, but he knew the truth, and knew the truth that he knew that he was invincible in a hundred battles, so he had to inquire about the information of the trading city in advance, so Lin Yuan asked: "How is the situation in Kyakhta now?" ”

"About eight or nine days ago, the Russians started digging trenches near Kyakhta," Luwansu said. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Digging a ditch?" What ditch to dig? ”

Lu Wansu said: "It's the kind of deep ditch, about four or five meters deep, not only deep, but also very wide, almost more than 20 meters, and put a lot of mud at the bottom of the ditch, if people fall down, they will definitely fall into it!" ”

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "It seems that the thing I saw in the aerial pictures surrounding the trading city should be this deep ditch they dug, twenty meters wide and four or five meters deep, our tanks can't get by, it seems that we have to find a way to come out." Lin Yuan asked, "What about the situation in the city?" Is there a garrison? ”

Lu Wansu said: "Originally, there were many Russian soldiers in the city, but since your telegram was sent, they have all been dispatched to fight you. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the merchants and residents of the city?" ”

"The Russians assured them that they would never let you get to the city of trading and Kyakhta, so the business in the city was done, and the days went by," said Luvansu. ”

Lin Yuan nodded, thinking: "Look at how I take Kyakhta, but if I want to take Kyakhta, I must first deal with the deep ditch dug by the Russians around Kyakhta." Lin Yuan was thinking about it, and Lu Wansu said, "Lin Shuai, I don't know what you are going to do when you come out?" Or you can get busy with your ......"

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "I don't have anything to do when I come out, so let's send you back to our camp, and when you get there, I will send someone to escort you back to Kulun, and I will tell you how I found you on the way." Lin Yuan then pulled Lu Wansu into the car, and the group returned to the camp, Lin Yuan got out of the car and did not call everyone to a meeting, because he knew that the commanders of the Dao also needed to rest.

It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the morning of October 8, an hour before departure, that Lin Yuan told the commanders his intentions to attack Kyakhta on the border between Russia and Mongolia, and said to everyone: "The Russian army thought that the deep pit could stop our tanks, so they dug a deep ditch around the trading city, and the first target we had to deal with was the enemy's deep ditch. ”

"There is a forage field of the Russian army in the buying and selling city, and after the forage field is laid, we will blow up the forage, so that the other two units of the Russian army have no forage, they are all cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the horses without forage will be greatly weakened, and when the time comes, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Everyone nodded when they heard Lin Yuan's words, and the group immediately set off to Kyakhta, and there were no obstacles along the way, and at 12 o'clock at noon on October 8, Lin Yuan led his troops to a small town 20 kilometers away from Kyakhta, most of the people in this town were Chinese merchants, and they were very surprised to see Lin Yuan's troops coming, and invited Lin Yuan to participate in the welcome banquet.

Lin Yuan refused them, and then took the scouts to reconnoiter the deep ditch of the Russians, Lin Yuan knew that there would definitely be Russians guarding the edge of the deep ditch, so he didn't dare to get too close, so he found a high slope far away from the deep ditch, and used the high-magnification telescope on the armored reconnaissance vehicle to reconnoiter the situation of the deep ditch.

Lin Yuan estimated the width of the deep ditch, about twenty meters, and the slope of the deep pit is about 90 degrees, such a deep pit, the tank will definitely not be able to climb up, the Russians also reserved a bridge above the ditch, but the bridge they reserved is paved with wooden planks, and the tank will definitely crush the planks when walking on it, and then fall into the deep pit, so it is impossible to use the enemy's bridge to cross the deep ditch.

If the tank wants to cross this deep ditch, there is only one way, that is, to build a bridge on it, this time Lin Yuan brought a few bridge-building tanks, the so-called bridge-building tank, the territory is similar to the main battle tank, but the turret of the main battle tank is replaced with a bridge that can be folded up.

When in use, as long as the bridge building tank comes to the edge of the ditch, and then unfolds the bridge to carry, the tank can drive from one end of the deep ditch to the other, Lin Yuan thought of a way, he raised the telescope to observe the situation of the Russian army on the other side of the ditch, only to see that from time to time there are cavalry patrolling back and forth, Lin Yuan looked into the distance, only to see that there is no military building in the distance range of several kilometers from the deep ditch to Kyakhta, not even a bunker.

Lin Yuan laughed secretly in his heart: "It's a joke to try to block our armored troops with a deep ditch!" At this moment, Lin Yuan found that there were many small houses on the other side of the ditch, and Lin Yuan said to the scouts beside him, "What are those small houses for?" ”

The scout said, "It looks like it's inhabited, and digging such a deep ditch must be very labor-intensive, so I will fix the house for them to live in." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Maybe there is something else, find some fellow countrymen and ask." ”
