"I just received the reinforcements, and I haven't had time to recognize my face yet, how can I have a new mission?" Li Yuan heard Liu Wenxiu's assignment, and his jaw almost didn't fall to the ground.

Generally speaking, after taking over a new recruit, you have to delay for three or two days.

Not once like this, in the morning new recruits were brought in, and the noodles came down before they finished their new combat mission.

"What's the matter, the whole group is the same. Go back and get ready and leave at noon.

This time, instead of relying on two legs, we are equipped with a lot of tractors.

Don't say I didn't remind you, bring more ammunition, especially mortar shells and plastic mines, as much as you want. ”

"Commander, how much do I have to be approved by you?"

"The list has been sent to you, go to the logistics collar, the ammunition depot in the regiment, you can move as much as you can."

"Commander, are you so generous this time?"

Listening to Liu Wenxiu's words, Li Yuan's spine was cold.

If it's not a vicious battle, why send so much ammunition.

In his heart, Li Yuan likes to fight. After all, the more battles you fight, the more you destroy the enemy, and the greater your achievements.

After returning to Daming, the rewards he received will naturally be richer.

Although Li Yuan didn't care about how many rewards, those Mongolian brothers still cared.

After all, most of them are guilty.

Military merit can be exonerated or atonemented.

It's like Bayan, who committed a capital crime at the beginning.

Calculating, he should not worry about his life when he returns to Mongolia now.

However, this guy still likes to fight, and Li Yuan feels that this guy was born to like fighting.

From him, Li Yuan saw the shadow of his Mongolian ancestors.

It is no wonder that those Tartars can occupy the Han family for nearly a hundred years.

When he returned to the battalion, he immediately organized people to go to the regiment to carry munitions.

Especially mortar shells, how many are moved.

The original lunch was not eaten, and the cooking class made dry food, and everyone ate it on the tractor.

To be honest, the experience of riding a tractor is not good at all.

Other than being faster, it doesn't do any good.

People swayed from side to side in the trunk, and from time to time they were bounced upside down.

The recruits who had eaten noodles in the morning were now lying on the edge of the railing and vomiting bitterly.

Looking at their sallow faces, Li Yuan was very worried about whether they could still fight.

Li Yuan felt that he and his soldiers were a bit like the Lantern Festival.

There was a huge airship flying in the sky, and Li Yuan looked at the airship.

It's better to sit on that thing, although it's a little bumpy. Large cargo airships also make a lot of noise!

But it's so fast!

Li Xiao sat on the airship and looked at the "motorized" troops below.

Although the soldiers pulled by the tractor are a bit miserable, this is also something that cannot be helped. The road conditions are so bad that the trucks are useless.

In this place of the hell in Russia, tractors work far better than trucks.

That is, when transporting troops, those who serve as soldiers are more sinful.

Large airships could carry an infantry battalion, but large airships are now very sought-after.

All capacity is being used to transport supplies and reinforcements from within the country!

The French army attacked Tsaritsyn with 800,000 troops, while the Ming army continued to transport troops from the interior.

In half a month, the number of Ming troops on the front line barely increased to a little more than 190,000.

The combat effectiveness of the Russian army, that's all it takes. Can't expect much from them!

The good news is that the Romanians, Italians, and Spaniards on the side of the French are fighting like that.

The numerical superiority of the French was too great, and the Ming army could only take a defensive position.

Use field fortifications to inflict massive casualties on enemy troops, and then drag the French into street fighting.

Li Xiao clearly knows that as long as you fight in the streets, it is useless how many troops you have.

Because of the ruins after the bombardment, no matter how many troops you have, you can't deploy it.

A squad blocked a company without the slightest problem.

The airship landed, and Li Xiao stepped off the airship and looked at the sun overhead.

It may be that the weather is cold, and the sun is bright white, not as dazzling as in summer.

This is Svetloyal!

In the distance, you can see the smoke rushing into the sky, which is the Russian army that ignited the dry reeds on the banks of the Volga.

"Idiot!" Li Xiao scolded.

The smoke became the best cover, helping the French to avoid the Ming army's aerial reconnaissance.

The ground trembled slightly amid the rumbling of cannons.

This is the Russian army attacking the positions of the French, losing the positions and allowing the French to cross the Volga.

Kutuzov's face was a little unbearable, and this morning he gave a death order, asking the Russian army to recapture the positions on the east bank of the Volga River and drive the French back to the west bank of the Volga River.

And gave an order like a head to meet!

The generals of the Russian army are now leading their men to desperately attack the small earthen bag about 50 meters occupied by the French army.

Li Xiao has no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Russian army!

Even if Kutuzov gave the order to die, the Russian army would not get anything but huge casualties.

The place of Svetloarna is a plain, flanked by marshes that have not yet frozen.

If you want to attack the Ming army from here, you must occupy this place.

God give me a chance!

Li Xiao only hoped that the Russian army's offensive would drag on for two days.

Give the Ming army sufficient time to prepare and build field fortifications.

Five planes flew through the sky, and a huge roar resounded throughout the sky.

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, very worried about his pilots.

No wonder it is said that pilots have to rest for a day when they fly.

This kind of working environment is really too harsh.

Soon, Li Xiao heard the characteristic ghost cry of Stuka dive bombing.

No explosions could be heard, and no smoke from the explosions could be seen.

I could only see that a lot of black spots suddenly appeared in the sky.

Li Xiao's heart tightened, and many years of military experience told him that it was anti-aircraft artillery firing.

War will give rise to all the technologies related to war, the French are not stupid, they will also improve the fuse.

Sure enough, a Stuka plummeted down.

As Stuka fell, a white parachute suddenly appeared in the sky.

Soon, black dots appeared around the parachute.

Li Xiao's eyes shrank to the same size as a needle's nose!

These bastards actually went after the pilots!

Pilots are treasures, these are all turned from airship pilots.

The training cost of each pilot is almost the same as the weight of the pilot's body.

Seeing the explosion point around the pilot, black smoke soon came out of the parachute.

Inside the telescope, you can even see flames coming out of the parachute.

The pilot fell in free fall and plunged into the Volga River under the watchful eye of Li Xiao.

"Shhh Li Xiao took a deep breath, and the cold air could not calm the anger in his heart.

Judging from the point of explosion, there are probably quite a few anti-aircraft guns, and they are all large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

This large-caliber antiaircraft gun can easily shoot down flying objects at an altitude of five or six thousand meters.

Even, targets of more than 7,000 meters can be hit.

Now not only are airships no longer safe, but even airplanes are not safe.

Especially when the Stuka dive bombarded, it was very dangerous to encounter large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

It seems that in the future, Stuka's main task can only be to hunt and kill the French airships and reconnaissance.

Bombing this kind of mission, or don't let them carry it out.

However, if you want to shoot down Stuka, you have to concentrate a lot of anti-aircraft fire.

Be focused! Hey, there's a chance.

In the midst of lightning, Li Xiao thought of a good idea.

"Tubu!"

"Tubu!"

"Tubu!"

There was the roar of a tractor behind him, and Li Xiao looked back. A long line of dozens of tractors is coming from the dirt road.

It was the unit that I had just seen from the airship.

Quantitatively, it should be the size of a battalion.

In the morning, Stilwell transferred a regiment to defend Svetloyal, but he did not expect to arrive at the position at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yuan jumped down from the tractor, and the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The first thing many soldiers did when they jumped out of the car was to bend over and vomit.

This ghost road has really been reversed.

"Hurry down, assemble each company! Count! Li Yuan shouted and gave the order.

"Hey, that battalion commander. Come here! Li Xiao frowned and beckoned to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan glanced back!

This guy was surrounded by a group of officers, ranging from major to second lieutenant. There were no epaulettes and cockades, and no military rank was worn.

It's just a winter combat camouflage of the Ming army, and he wears a dogskin hat on his head that only the old Liao army has.

I don't know this guy, but I saw a group of officers around this guy, and I saw the airship parked two or three kilometers away.

Li Yuan hesitated, but walked over.

"What's your name?" Li Xiao looked at Li Yuan and asked.

"The 203rd Regiment of the Ninth Division, the commander of the Mongolian battalion, Li Yuan. Who are you? Li Yuan looked Li Xiao up and down.

"Who told you that near the battlefield you can have the soldiers gather and count.

People stand so close that a shell comes down, and they can't kill a company? ”

Li Xiao really wanted to withdraw this battalion commander directly, and he didn't understand the slightest common sense of combat. It's going to kill a lot of people!

"What do you do?" Li Yuan looked at Li Xiao with some unhappiness.

"Shut up, it's ......!" Junzi snorted coldly, but was stopped by Li Xiao reaching out.

Because he found that the soldiers who got off the bus were assembling in squads.

And the spacing is more than ten meters!

Li Xiao knew that he had wrongly blamed this guy named Li Yuan.

It was a nice battalion, rank and file officers and veterans, who played a good role.

"You don't need to know who I am, but in a moment the trenchers and bulldozers will be transported by airship.

You have to build fortifications quickly, and I guess the Russian offensive will not last long.

I guess you only have one night, one morning at most. ”

Li Xiao said while looking at the terrain with his hands behind his back.

"Here, dig a trench. The excavated soil should be piled up on one side, and your soldiers should wait on the side, and pour a layer of soil and water it.

At night, the soil freezes up, which greatly increases the ability of the fortifications to resist shelling and bullets.

See that reed? Planting more mines in the reeds can serve as a warning.

When laying mines, the drawings are laid out, and the position of the enemy can be judged according to the location of the gunsmoke.

The mortar marked Zhu Yuan on the map, and as long as it saw the smoke of gunpowder, it adjusted the shooting Zhu Yuan for artillery as soon as possible.

Also, mortar positions are to be arranged in underground bunkers. At least not from the ground!

Gun shelters should be dug diagonally, and drainage ditches should be built on both sides.

Use a tin chimney to lead the flue away from the artillery hole.

In this way, you can build a stove in the cannon shelter at night.

It's so fucking cold at night in Russia, and you might freeze to death despite the cotton clothes. ”

Li Yuan looked at the person in front of him in surprise, some of what he said, Li Yuan knew, and some Li Yuan didn't.

For example, while digging trenches, water is poured on the excavated soil.

At night, the water drips into ice, and the soil will surely freeze solidly.

It is harder for a bullet to pass through this layer of soil than it is to punch through a stone.

There is also a stove in the artillery shelter at night, Li Yuan never thought that he could still make a stove in the artillery shelter.

When I was on the front line for the first two days, I usually took it at night.

In the second half of the night, my whole body was frozen and numb.

Every now and then, Bayan would let out a wolf-like howl.

Sometimes, they even wished that the French would fire a few shells. At the very least, it's warm up inside the crater for a while.

"Who the hell are you?" Li Yuan looked at the person in front of him again, this guy's actual combat experience, it is no problem to be a division commander.

"What I said should be implemented as soon as possible.

Pull up the field phone as soon as possible, and ask for logistics what is missing. When it's dark, the airship will bring it to you.

That's right!

Let your cooking class boil some mutton soup and drink it warmer in the evening. ”

Li Xiao saw that more than 20 sheep were actually dragged down from a tractor.

Mongolian camps, everywhere you go, you will take sheep with you. It is estimated that it was a habit left by Genghis Khan at that time!

The Mongolian people's feelings for sheep are very unique.

"I've heard that your Mongolian battalion has a supply of alcohol, try to make your soldiers drink as little as possible. One is that drinking is wrong, and the other is that drinking can warm up the body is actually an illusion.

Spirits can only make the calories in your body lose faster.

Also, let your soldiers change their socks. Always wear wet socks, your feet will get sick. ”

Li Xiao is like a menopausal aunt, chattering and guiding Li Yuan.

It's not that Li Xiao has nothing to do, but the death of the pilot today gave him a huge stimulus.

At the end of the day, Europeans are not stupid.

Their military technology will follow in the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army made a plane, and the high-tech content of that thing was too high-tech to be able to get it out for a while.

But it doesn't matter, people can study large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

As long as the Ming army appeared on the battlefield, they would follow and study it.

Even if you can't get the real thing, at least there is an appearance to refer to.

Although the diesel engines made in the West are still very rough, and the service time is not good.

But craftsmanship is something that can be improved, especially the Prussians' pursuit of craftsmanship, which gives them a terrible ability in manufacturing.

If you say a few words to this battalion commander today, you may be able to save the lives of many soldiers.

In battle, it is still the death of many enemies and the death of few of one's own people.

This is the goal that Li Xiao has been pursuing!
