The purpose of the Mengbei Army was Chita, which was a key point for the Siberian Railway, and in addition to its own fortress, the location was also particularly good. The unique environment of Siberia makes the current time very suitable, this is the end of September, as long as it takes 1 month, before October, to capture Chita, even if Chita is beaten into ruins, the northwest can hold Chita.

The reason is very simple, winter is coming, Chita is already a high latitude, after entering October, the temperature will drop rapidly, the sky will snow at any time, before entering the period of complete ice, if you stabilize the defense line of Chita, the war will drag on until next year, which will give the northwest five or six months, this time is quite important.

The construction in winter is inconvenient, but it does not mean that the construction is impossible, the northwest engineering capacity is quite strong, in cement, steel, construction, there are many specialties, such as specially prepared for the alpine zone, low-temperature solidified cement, low-temperature resistant steel, these are prepared for a long time, relying on construction machinery, 6 months, enough to make Chita into a much more powerful fortress than before, maybe even 16-inch artillery, can be stuffed into dozens of guns, on land, such artillery, It will be a nightmare for attackers, not only is the range long enough, but if it is built with a unique turret, there will be no dead ends, and the range is very long. ，

Chita, built according to the model of coastal defense fortresses, coupled with the heroic and warlike Chinese National Defense Force, will become a solid fulcrum belonging to China, echoing the trading city, completely blocking the road of the Russian army to the east, and the Russian army will be broken into two sections in eastern Siberia. Then, by the beginning of spring next year. The Russian Far East, which has not been replenished for a winter, will become a ripe fruit. It completely fell into the hands of China, not to mention Vladivostok and other places that were ceded by unequal treaties, even if it was once Hailan Pao and the entire northeastern Siberia, it will become a bag.

Southeast Asia has been working hard for several years, but the real benefits are Borneo, and the other islands are working hard, and they can't be taken back clearly, and they can only be named Lanfang Kingdom, and there are many troubles. But Siberia is different. The huge, unobstructed, and unguarded place guarded Chita and the trading city, and one or two million square kilometers of land were included in the bag.

This is a forbidden area for humans, a place in the alpine zone, and only a few months in summer, which is more suitable. Under such a difficult environment, even Russia, which is a fighting nation, will not let many people come, and more will be political prisoners and criminals. Purify them with cold Siberia, so, there are not many people in the whole of Siberia. Not to mention this eastern part, which is near Vladivostok. Compared to the lower latitudes, there are only a few people.

No one. As long as the northwest remains strong, it can be defended, and because of the relationship with the northwest, it can be fixed, and after a few treaties or peace conferences, this will become China's inherent land.

Because of the key position of Chita, Yan Xishan's plan was adopted, of course, the General Staff also made certain improvements according to the existing situation, not only temporarily built 30 airships, but also more than 1,000 strategic bombers as a backing, once the casualties exceeded a certain amount, not hesitate to expose the aircraft, but also to blow up the entire Chita, uproot this important fulcrum on the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway, and reduce the loss of personnel.

In the buying and selling city, Yan Xishan has been waiting for the action here, and even most of the troops of the entire Mengbei Army are also ready to go on the expedition. For this plan, he was already quite risky, and most of the troops of the entire Mengbei Army were concentrated on the side of the trading city, where more than 500,000 troops were here, and the huge barracks of the trading city, as well as the larger underground fortifications, were almost crowded. In addition to this, the rest are relatively evenly distributed along the long border between China and Russia, and even the troops blocking Brusinov's department are seconded from the northeast, with only 3 divisions, for this moment.

The moment the radio wave came, Yan Xishan's frowning brows were completely relaxed, and finally waited for this moment, he knew that the power of the armored corps was strong, and it should not be a problem to resist the Russian army going south, and even when it was raided, it was not impossible to annihilate a part of the Russian army, but such a result shocked him, 400,000 Russian troops were annihilated by the formation, and the remaining 600,000 Russian troops were surrounded in a small hilly area of less than 2 square kilometers, although they did not take it for the time being, they lost the ability to leaveIt's only a matter of time before you take it.

According to the experience of the northwest, all the arms that Yang Yuanzhao values will have a great role in the future, such as the special forces, the air force, the aircraft carriers, and the armored forces.

Off topic, Yan Xishan smiled self-deprecatingly, he was really happy, and he was a little worried. Now Russia's most powerful middle line, more than a million Russian troops, are contained in Mongolia, and there are only 150,000 Russian troops left in Chita, which can be said to be the lowest level, and several other directions, Xinjiang and the Northeast, under the initiative of the Chinese army, have pinned down those armies, and in a short period of time, Chita has no reinforcements. This is the best opportunity, after Yan Xishan received Wu Yunheng's confirmation message, he immediately ordered the army to open, and more than 400,000 troops rushed to Chita.

If Tian Ruo is with him, he will not make mistakes, Yan Xishan has already made comprehensive preparations for this moment, and of course he will not let go of this good opportunity, and immediately order, and the army will be set off.

In 1911, the trading city has built a large-scale underground fortifications, for the first division in the trading city to resist the large number of Russian troops made a great contribution, the next three years, the current situation of the trading city, is not suitable for the construction of a huge fortress city, so continue to expand underground, actually in the underground of the trading city to build a huge underground city at least 5 times larger than the trading city itself, this is a perfect fortress, not only has a lot of space to accommodate troops, but also convenient exits, Most of the divisions of the Mengbei Army were automobile logistics, supplemented by horse-drawn carriages, and they quickly assembled at the wide exits, and when they assembled a division, they set aside a division and headed north.

Beginning in 1840, or the beginning of the Treaty of Nebuchu, the Chinese army has not set foot in this black land in the north for too long, and today, in less than three months after the founding of New China, the Chinese army has once again set foot in this land that has not been set foot in a long time, striving for more space for the future Chinese people.

The Northwest Army, the ability to mobilize and disburse, can be said to be the best in the world, time and efficiency, always among the army, the most mentioned, about half an hour a division set off, by the evening of the next day, most of the troops going to Chita have been allocated, only one and a half divisions and about 30,000 reserve troops are left, with their combat effectiveness and the defense of the city, enough to resist more than 10 times the army.

Of course, the distance from the trading city to Chita is much farther than the closest place to the border between China and Russia, but the Mengbei army has no choice, the vast grassland is a paradise for armored forces to gallop, and it is not suitable for hiding soldiers, at a glance, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, even tens of thousands of people are difficult to hide, and the Mengbei army cannot be arranged on the bright side, so it has to hide in the underground fortifications of the trading city.

It is precisely because of such comprehensive considerations that Brusinov will fall into the scheme, because in his cognition, there will not be any existence that can ambush their million-strong army, but the use of northwest armor is beyond his imagination, the 500,000 troops in the central cluster were annihilated almost in a morning, and there are still more than 600,000 troops left in his hands, but in the face of tanks beyond cognition and cannot be dealt with, no matter how bold Brusinov is, he can only hold on and figure out the tank, Or use up the defense to consume the tank.

After crossing the border from the trading city and entering Russia, the Chinese army felt that it was obviously different from the rest of the country, it was very desolate, it was a pristine natural landscape, and even the roads were common. On the Mongolian side, it is only separated by a national border, and it looks similar in general, but a large number of railways and roads have been built, and it is quite convenient in the wasteland, and the most important thing is that the railway has been repaired from Kulen to the trading city, even if the army goes out, there is enough logistics.

This is September, there is no rain in summer, the weather is dry, although the environment in the field is not good, but you can still drive a car, but the speed is a little slower, specially for the field march, developed a four-wheel drive suspension car, can ensure a speed of about 30 kilometers, of course, even the Mengbei Army, it is impossible to equip all cars, only a small part of the elite troops, more cars are used to transport logistics supplies, fortunately, between Chita and Kyakhta, the distance is not too far, according to the speed of the Northwest Army's strict trainingUnder the rapid march, 70 kilometers can be guaranteed every day, and at most a week's time will be reached, and there are automobile units to build camps in advance and reconnaissance troops to reconnoiter around, which is much faster than the Russian army moving forward cautiously.

It was another day's rapid march, and the camp site arrived at night time, the vanguard had already built a camp, and the backward troops entered the camp and began to rest, but Yan Xishan did not sleep, and in two days, he arrived at Chita, which was a key one, destined to sacrifice a heavy battle, he must be prepared, if he can reduce a little loss, he will reduce a little loss!
