Chapter 347

This part of Volyn is similar to the rest of the Uzbek-Polish border, with a small town of less than 10,000 people in between.

The surrounding area is very large, and there are dozens of villages scattered around. But there are more than a dozen or twenty families in each village, and the people are more scattered than pepper noodles.

It's similar to the rest of Europe, where there are fewer people and more places.

Historically, Volyn did not have a fixed belonging, a few years ago it was a Polish territory, and within a few years it became Ukrainian.

Ukraine has been a home for a few years, and the Poles have fought back.

Most recently, before the last European war, Poland reoccupied the Volyn region after defeating Russia.

At the end of the European war, Russia occupied large swaths of Polish territory, and the Volyn region was one of them.

The information from above is very general, except that the combined population of Warren is about 100,000.

A small town is home to thousands of people, and the tallest building is the Catholic church that towers over the middle of the town.

The Ming soldiers approached the town of Warren in a skirmish line, and at a distance of about five kilometers from the town, they began to set up camp.

On the ground that had been leveled in advance, there stood a group of more than 100 Russian soldiers.

Next to that group of Russians, stood a company of Mongolian regiment soldiers led by the old monkey.

The land is very sloppy, but it is understandable. In two days, it's good to be able to level it into this shape.

Not far away, several forklift rolling mills are still working.

Farther away, several infantry chariots were on guard.

Batu glanced at his surroundings and nodded. In the end, it is the station chosen by the veteran oil!

It's a vast plain, and the nearest man-made structure around the station is the small town of Warren, five or six kilometers away.

The nearest woodland is also at least 10 kilometres away.

Even the small trees around the station have been cut off by the roots, and the broken stubble is a diagonal tip. And the tree that was cut down lay horizontally on the ground.

At a glance, the nearby shooting boundary was swept clean.

As long as the watchtowers are set up at the four corners of the camp, you can monitor the surroundings well. Even mortar fire is exposed to sight.

Unless, the Polish partisans had heavy weapons like howitzers. Otherwise, no one would be able to pose a threat to the Mongol regiment's station.

Several airships in the sky slowly descended, and the recruited laborers began to carry the prefabricated houses inside the airships.

It's not snowing yet, but it's already cold. Without a prefabricated house and a stove, sleeping at night must be a sinful thing.

Now, Batu is very pleased with the new chief of staff.

If you let the rammed goods in the team come, I don't know what will happen. It is not known whether the station was located on the edge of the woods for the convenience of collecting firewood.

"The law and order in Warren City is very poor, and if you enter the Zhuangzi, you may shoot bullets.

Those Russians, now very miserable. When there is nothing to do, I don't even dare to go out.

The guard at the door is a very dangerous position, and now no one dares to stand guard at night. ”

The old monkey walked up to Batu and whispered as he pointed to the town of Warren in the distance.

"So evil?" Batu blinked, he didn't expect it to be like this.

"It's worse than that, on the way you came. I got up with three mines this morning!

They are all large mines of more than 20 kilograms, and just one can blow your truck into the sky. The old monkey mouthed Nunu at Batu on the road they had come.

"What the fuck am I fucking so hard?" Batu was a little surprised, but at the same time very afraid.

He had just driven into the front of the line in a jeep, and if the old monkey hadn't cleared the mines, he would have been blown up into the sky.

"In my opinion, these Poles are not easy to handle." The old monkey shook his head.

"Grandma, what's going on, can we say we can't do it? If we can't get rid of these people, we will be attacked by them constantly.

A few people die today, a few more tomorrow. It won't take long for morale to be over. Batu deeply knew that most of the soldiers he brought with him were new recruits.

It's very unfamiliar to the battlefield!

If you are beaten like this, it is estimated that morale will collapse soon.

"But I've found a solution!" The old monkey winked at Batuu.

The Russian major came over and saluted Batu!

The tongue man is translating his words on the side!

"Tumenovsky, commander of the separate battalion of the Volyn garrison, report to you and obey your command."

Batu nodded, and replied with a military salute very casually: "Colonel Batu, the head of the Mongolian Regiment of the Ninth Division, is ordered to command you."

Now get out of town and get some prefabricated houses next to us.

Right between us and the town! Batu pointed to a place of more than a kilometer.

This location is stuck between the town of Warren and the station, and can act as a deterrent.

Listening to the translation of the tongue man, Tumenovsky was about to cry with gratitude. He's had enough of Warrentown!

His subordinates said it was an independent battalion, but in reality there were only two companies.

These two companies have lost 30% of their manpower in half a year.

Almost everyone stood guard at night, trembling, and maybe a bullet flew in the darkness and would make them go to God.

The whole day was spent in a hectic manner.

I was busy until dark, and I still hadn't finished building so many prefabricated houses.

Instead, at the four corners of the station, a lookout tower was erected.

These watchtowers are all steel structural components. The tower at the top is fully enclosed, with a bulletproof steel plate of one meter and five high, which is the latest research product.

The bulletproof steel plate consists of three layers of one-centimeter-thick steel plates, and a two-centimeter-thick pottery shard is sandwiched between each layer of steel plates.

That is, the bulletproof steel plate consists of three layers of steel plates and two layers of ceramic, which is said to be at the time of the test. Twenty-five-mm rapid-fire guns could not penetrate this armor at a distance of a thousand meters.

At a distance of 500 meters, the sniper rifle was just scratching, and the most time it penetrated two layers of steel plates.

Footnotes of the steel structure, completely pure steel components.

The tower is usually equipped with an MG-42 or MG-34 machine gun, and in some places a sniper rifle.

The last thing is that there is a stove in the watchtower. Even on a cold winter day, as long as bulletproof glass is installed, it can ensure that the inside of the guard tower is as warm as spring.

A guard tower of this weight weighs as much as ten tons.

Only a terrifying force like Daming can have the confidence to create such a thing.

Four watchtowers, that is, the transportation volume of a large cargo airship at one time.

Generally, in a regiment-level military operation of the Ming army, at least more than ten large airships will be mobilized, and about ten medium-sized airships will be used to provide support.

As for those small airships, they have long been in the category of being eliminated.

It was either used for domestic feeder shipping or sold to countries with good relations such as Spain, Italy, and Austria.

Of course, the Ming army will not forget about the old friends of the Russians.

Light airships for Russia, as a rule, are selected in the best condition, and the ones that are half sold and half given to Russia.

So, now the Russian army is also equipped with a large number of airships.

Although the load of the small airship is only five tons, it is already considered a good thing for the Russian army.

On the Russian side, the new station was built at the speed of light, and then quickly moved in. That Tumenovsky was a chicken thief, and the new garrison was very close to the Ming army barracks.

Close to the side of the Ming army, it was two or three hundred meters below the watchtower.

"Tomorrow for another day, the prefabricated house will be almost done. Brothers squeeze tonight, tomorrow will be fine. "Beef broth and noodles for dinner.

Eating this stuff on a cold day is enjoyment!

The old monkey blew the snot in his nose, and a large bowl of noodles went into his stomach, and his whole body was warm.

Now I have a big bowl of noodle soup and drink it suckingly.

"Damn, why is this place colder than Kyiv." Batu glanced irritably at the glass window.

The north wind howled outside the window, and the cold wind drilled into the house along the crack in the window, making bursts of "woo" and "woo" sounds that were worse than ghost crying.

"This is the hell of a place, I heard that the snow is so thick in winter that you can't even open the door." The old monkey had arrived two days early and was a little more familiar with the situation.

"The matter of digging the well must be done as soon as possible, today is the first day, and they have not had time to poison the water source, so tomorrow is not certain." Ding San also sat on the chair, sipping and drinking noodle soup.

"According to the pre-marked location, we have already started to fight. The North Koreans worked all night tonight, and he promised me that at least tomorrow morning he would be able to drill the first well.

There is a lot of water in this place, and it is not difficult to dig wells. Hugejiril filled another large bowl of noodles, and he scooped up all the uneaten pieces of beef under the pot and piled them on top of the bowl.

Trembling, as long as Hugh Jirile's hand shakes, the piece of meat will fall to the ground.

"That's the best, grandma's. There was a sense of danger in this place, and at night I drove all the chariots to the side.

Every fifteen minutes, the sentry fires a flare. Lao Tzu feels very bad! Batu finished a bowl of noodle soup, and his head was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Smack......!" A crisp gunshot broke the silence, and everyone stopped and looked out the window.

Soon the machine-gun sound of the MG-42 rang out, and soon the explosion of the mortar was heard.

Hugejiri tightened his grip on two bites of beef, grabbed the Aka rifle on the table and rushed out.

The old monkey didn't move, and Ding San didn't move either. Batu walked to the door and sat down again.

"The Poles don't have a formed army, how can they beat us. At most, it's just a little harassment.

Let's just wait here! The old monkey leisurely lit a cigarette, and when he saw Ding San and Batu in his eyes, he had to take out two more and scatter them.

Sure enough, in just ten minutes, Hugjiril ran back again.

"Three were killed and one was wounded. Both legs were blown off, and it is estimated that he will not live long. With that, he went to the edge of the table and began to deal with the bowl of noodles full of beef pieces.

"Arrange double posts in the evening, and it is estimated that there will be such an attack tonight. In addition, prepare two infantry chariots that are not allowed to turn off and are ready to attack at any time.

If there is a mortar in the area, it needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. ”

"Mortars, they don't even have that. Intelligence said that they had only light weapons in their hands. Batu smoked a cigarette and looked at the old monkey.

"If there is, who can say for sure?" The old monkey gulped a cigarette.

"During the day, you said that there was a way to deal with them, tell me, what way." Batu looked at the old monkey, and now there were only four people in the prefabricated house.

Except for the two of them, there is only Huge Jirile and Ding San, who are not in danger of leaking secrets.

"Actually, there's nothing secret about it, I caught a few street gangsters in Warren Town.

After interrogation, it turned out that there were so many things going on in Warren Town.

Poles are Catholic, Ukrainians are Orthodox.

It doesn't seem to us to make a difference, but it looks like a big difference to them. These two groups of people don't like each other.

Moreover, this place has been ruled by the Poles for more than a decade.

This Pole is also bad enough to bully the Ukrainians all day long. Bullying men and women, kicking widows' doors and digging up graves, and doing all kinds of bad things.

It's better now, I heard that I used to be on the street, and I dared to do something to Ukrainian women.

Although the Ukrainians were outnumbered, the Poles had guns in their hands. Over the years, I have been bullied by the Poles miserably.

In addition, the religions of the two sides are different, and these two groups of people are actually extremely opposed.

After the Russians came, their heels did not stand firm at all. That Tumenovsky is nothing, and he just wants nothing to happen.

As a result, the Poles kicked their noses in the face. Coupled with the crossing of the Polish partisans supported by the Germans on the opposite side, the two companies in his hands were soon unable to support them.

At first, he dared to go out on patrol during the day, and only retreated back to the station at night to guard against it. But now, in broad daylight, they don't dare to go to the countryside to patrol.

And I also know that there are quite a few Hebrews in this place.

Many of these people escaped from Israel. In that part of Israel, all the people were soldiers, and the fighting power of these Hebrews should not be underestimated. ”

"Damn, it hurts my head to hear it." Batu rubbed his temples.

Let him fight, he does not include the lake, and Mengchong Mengda will definitely not be afraid of death. But to deal with the situation in front of you, your brain is a little insufficient.

Playing with the eyes of the heart, it is not the growth of the Mongols.

"My captain, you still don't understand? This place is a traditional Ukrainian land, and the Poles and Hebrews are both outsiders, and they are a minority.

Ukrainians have been bullied by them for so long, and they have long been holding back the fire in their hearts.

Those stupid people in Russia don't know how to use, we don't know how to use it yet?

My idea was to mobilize the Ukrainians and turn them against the Poles. If nothing else, it's good to have revenge and revenge.

Anyway, we will not bother with the retaliation of the Ukrainians. We will even protect the Ukrainians.

Think about it, if we do that. Can those Polish partisans still survive? The old monkey smiled evilly, he didn't know what kind of demon he had released with this idea.
