If the slope of the river bank is too steep, it is impossible for a tank to drive from the water to the water, so the river bank must be a gentle slope, fortunately, the slope of the river bank is not large, so the tank can easily go ashore.

As for infantry fighting vehicles, armored reconnaissance vehicles, and armored command vehicles, because the armor is not as thick as a tank, it is relatively lightweight, and after adding a pontoon to the body, it can float on the water, rely on tracks to paddle, and can go ashore after reaching the opposite bank.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the armored troops who were ready to dive and float gathered by the river, preparing to cross the river, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If you let everyone cross the river now, the time to reach Kulun is too early, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of the operation." So Lin Yuan ordered to rest in place and cross the river at four o'clock in the morning.

The soldiers were already very tired from preparing to cross the river, and when they heard Lin Yuan's order, they immediately began to rest, and Lin Yuan ordered that all troops were not allowed to make bright lights to prevent them from being discovered by the patrol troops on the opposite side, Lin Yuan finished giving the order, Xiao Yingwu came to Lin Yuan, and said to Lin Yuan: "I just took a closer look at our route and found that when we were interspersed between the gaps in the various departments, there were two barracks that were difficult to bypass. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's the forward battalion and the avant-garde battalion, right?" ”

Xiao Yingwu nodded and said, "That's right, it's these two battalions!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, I have already calculated, when our troops pass through the forward battalion, it is still dark, they will only hear the sound, and they will definitely not find us, and when we reach the vanguard battalion, although the sky has already brightened, they may find us, but we can optimize the route and pass far away from them." ”

"Not only that, but we can also get the tanks to cast a smoke screen, so that they can see that where we are is a white expanse, and they will treat the smoke screen as a morning fog and not be suspicious, and we will walk through the fog."

Xiao Yingwu nodded and said, "If you already have a countermeasure, it will be fine." ”

As soon as Xiao Yingwu left, Lin Yuan found a relatively high place, raised the low-light night vision telescope in his hand, and observed the situation on the opposite bank.

In Lin Yuan's low-light night vision binoculars, he saw a group of cavalry on the opposite side, I don't know who Lu Dao was, holding a torch in his hand and walking slowly along the riverbank, Lin Yuan saw them and screamed in his heart, thinking: "What are these people doing?" Has the enemy strengthened his defenses? ”

Lin Yuan knew that the Ludao River was more than 200 meters wide, and as long as his troops did not emit bright light, it would be absolutely impossible for them to observe their troops on the opposite bank without night vision equipment.

Lin Yuan was reluctant to shoot at his compatriots, but since they supported separatism, there was no way but to eliminate them! And war is all about bloodshed.

Lin Yuan watched these patrolmen disappear into the darkness after a while, and then he relaxed a little, and waited until four o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan ordered: "Start crossing the river." ”

At the order, Lin Yuan first took an armored command vehicle to the other side of the river, and the river made a "whooshing" sound in the quiet night sky, pushing the armored command vehicle downstream, and the tracks paddled the water, and soon arrived at the opposite bank, and the main battle equipment and more than 100 combat support equipment all crossed the Tula River at about six o'clock in the morning and assembled on the north bank of the river.

Lin Yuan was glad that in the whole process of crossing the river, there were no Mongolian scouts coming, Lin Yuan immediately ordered: tanks in front, ammunition transporters in the middle, infantry fighting vehicles in the rear, into three columns, towards Kulun, because there was no fast car train, the speed of tanks and infantry chariots was a little slow, but nevertheless, at about half past six arrived at the forward battalion of Longxiang cavalry.

At half past six o'clock in this season, Cullen was still in the darkness before dawn, and when he arrived at the forward camp of the dragon cavalry, the people inside had not yet gotten up, and the cavalry troops had always risen late, because if the horses got up early, they would be very tired, and they would have no strength to fight during the day.

The sound of more than a hundred vehicles of various kinds spread far away in the open grassland, so that the people in the barracks and the war horses woke up, they could not have thought that it was Lin Yuan who led the troops to come, some scolded a few words and then went to sleep, and some people were curious, so they got up to look.

When they got up to see the camp gate, they couldn't see anything in the darkness, but they could only hear the rumbling sound in the distance, and they guessed that this sound might be thunder, maybe it was going to rain, and someone immediately retorted: "Nonsense, have you ever heard thunder for so long?" ”

While everyone was talking, an officer came out and shouted, "You don't want to sleep, do you?" If you don't want to sleep, go and give the horse fodder! ”

Although it was not a tiring errand, it was an extremely boring errand, and no one wanted to do it, and as soon as they heard the officer say this, they immediately returned to the barracks and no longer paid attention to Lin Yuan's convoy.

Although Lin Yuan passed through the forward battalion unharmed, he did not relax at all, because the front was soon the avant-garde battalion, the distance between the convoy and the avant-garde battalion would be closer, and the chance of being found would be greater, early in the morning, a thin mist shrouded the ground, and the visibility was only less than a thousand meters, Lin Yuan was very happy in his heart, and when he passed by the avant-garde battalion, he decisively ordered: tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, set off smoke screens.

Smoke screens are very useful in modern warfare, in modern warfare, anti-tank missiles generally use laser guidance or infrared guidance, and the size of the smoke screen is similar to the wavelength of laser and infrared, so smoke screens can interfere with their propagation, and then make these missiles lose their target.

Ge Wenliang also designed a smoke bomb launcher for the TK-96 and BZ-96 for the multi-mission needs of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, which is actually a grenade launcher, if a grenade of the right caliber is installed inside, it can also be used as a small howitzer.

The explosion sound of the smoke bombs was very low, at least others would not think that the shells were exploding when they heard them, and after each smoke bomb exploded, a smoke screen wall of three meters high and more than 60 meters long formed around the tank, completely obscuring the outline of the entire unit.

The soldiers in the barracks had already begun to get up, and some people came to the door, just in time to see Lin Yuan's armored troops passing by the camp gate, but Lin Yuan specially optimized the route when he was marching, so it was far away from the camp gate, and specially set off smoke screens, so those Mongolian cavalry only saw a thick fog in the sky, and they didn't know what it was.

Some people wanted to ride a war horse out of the barracks to have a look, but it was a felony to ride out of the barracks without permission, so they gave up this idea, Lin Yuan's troops passed through the forward battalion and the avant-garde battalion, and there was no barracks away from Kulun, Lin Yuan looked at his watch, seven o'clock, and thought: "According to the speed and time of our walk, Kulun should be about to arrive." ”
