Avdeyevich was really a little crying, he knew that the buying and selling city was a hard bone, and he didn't think to underestimate them, but he didn't know that Cheng Dù, who was so hard, actually dared to use a small detachment to attack the heavily guarded city, and even succeeded in the end, first by shelling, then by blending in, plus the fire horse offensive behind, it was simply an indiscriminate attack.

If it is an attack of such intensity every night, let alone 3 nights, he can't last a night, looking at the statistical losses, he really can't do anything, the loss of soldiers is about 1,200 people, most of them are seriously injured, few die directly, the military horses are basically lost, and the loss of food and the city itself is also very large, which is equivalent to basically being disabled.

Without the support of the 122nd and 156th Divisions, in such a situation, Avdeyevich's only choice is to retreat, yes, if he does not retreat, he will really be wiped out, and such an attack will come every few days, and everyone will go crazy.

The operation of the special combat personnel came to an end when the rising star of the Day, leaving behind a mess of Kyakhta, where Avdeyevich hid and licked the wounds of the predators, which was not conducive to the attack of the special combat personnel during the day, and the continuous operation at night not only consumed a lot of physical energy, but even the first battalion of the powerful special combat team had some losses, 3 were killed and 36 were wounded, of which 12 were seriously injured, but fortunately, the special combat team had the initiative, and they retreated in the chaos, seriously injured and dead, It's all brought out.

Although there are casualties, but this kind of casualties is of great significance, in exchange for a day when the Russian army does not dare to attack and Kyakhta's heavy losses, the initiative on the battlefield. Firmly controlling the side of the buying and selling city with a small number of people, this can be regarded as the world's military, which is worthy of pride.

There was no movement during the day, but potential, all were being prepared. On the Kyakhta side, there was not even a retaliatory artillery attack, they all returned, the protection of the trading city was quite tight, and the reinforced concrete fortifications could not be shaken by a small 75 gun.

But. When night fell, there was movement in Kyakhta, the north was brightly lit, with long queues of torches, and even a part of the motor vehicles and a large formation of horses. Lan Rongzeng and Wu Jian both looked at the north with a solemn face, they knew what it was, the two divisions belonging to the second echelon of the Russian army, the 122nd Division and the 156th Division, which were strong in combat, together with some heavy firepower and artillery fire from the 173rd and 179th Divisions, arrived in Kyakhta, and Russian reinforcements arrived.

Cannon is the king of the army, from the Napoleonic era. Countless wars have proved that artillery can influence the situation of battle, when the situation of artillery has absolute superiority. There are very few failures, and the damage caused by 75 guns to the defense line of the city is negligible, but the fire of more than 120 guns is enough to destroy most of the city defenses, provided that the opponent has enough shells.

This is not the Beiyang Army. Nor is it China, or even the forces of East Asia. This is Russia, the traditional army power. Although Russia is a second-rate power, it is always a part of the great powers, and the strong artillery fire and logistics are guaranteed, and this is not a protracted war, just how long has it been fought, and the Russian army has enough artillery fire to squander, according to the firepower of the ordinary 4 divisions, it is enough to plow the buying and selling city.

Can't do anything, Lan Rongzeng quickly ordered, the special combat team members sent out, basically all called back, no matter what, they can't let their losses in vain, in the face of only 5000 strength, special combat team members can move freely, when this number increases to 30,000, and it is not a huge city with a population of millions, even if Lan Rongzeng has confidence in his special combat team members, he does not dare to move in Kyakhta at will, yesterday was already a startling snake, and now with heavy troops, the protection will be more strict and in place, This means that their attacks are even more difficult and can even cause huge casualties.

Every special combat soldier has spent huge resources and energy to pile it up, and the creed of the Northwest Army has always been that it is not afraid of casualties and sacrifices, but it is unwilling for any commander to touch a stone in vain, unless it is in a desperate situation.

The real battle should be fought in the trading city, not in Kyakhta, where the enemy's chassis is not familiar with, and there are not many people who can rely on it, but the trading city, which has built a complete set of underground fortifications after several years, is the place where the real decisive battle will be.

Wu Jian's previous strength did not dare to hide in the tunnel, the reason is that after the trading city was occupied, the strength at hand was not able to fight back at all, and now a battalion has arrived, tonight, from Kulen, there are 400 soldiers, together, the current strength of trading may exceed 1200 people, concentrated to one point, not only can cause huge losses, but also counterattack trading anywhere, so that the Russian army can never completely occupy the trading city.

This will create a situation, that is, under the situation of obvious superiority, the Russian army will not be able to expand the results of the battle, and cannot advance to the hinterland of Mongolia along the trading platform, and can only be like a nail, completely stung here, and panic all day long, and even in the end, it will give up the trading city because of the continuous bloodletting.

The preparations for retreating to the tunnels have already begun, and they will carry it out tonight after receiving the personnel sent by the airship, thinking about it, the Russian army will not give them rest tomorrow, and the large-scale bombardment of the trading city will definitely be carried out, at least the forward positions will be completely destroyed, and then, the Russian army will continue to attack, some necessary preparations, such as in the room, or at a special intersection, set up some tricks or mines, or conceal some entrance mechanisms and the like, these need to be fully arranged.

The 122nd and 156th divisions of the Russian army arrived, and under the cover of night, they just let their newly arrived artillery give a round of shelling to the trading city, just a test and stopped, it seems that before the rest was completed, there was no attack on the trading city, which gave Lan Rongzeng and others time, under the non-stop arrangement of nearly 1,000 people, at about 12 o'clock in the evening, all the arrangements were completed, and by the way, the personnel of the airship were also in the night, arrived at the trading city, a full 16 hours, non-stop, Finally, in the middle of the night, we arrived at the trading city

With the help of the rope ladder, this is not the airship, the shoddy rope ladder, but the machine qì processed, more solid and reliable, on the airship, although the personnel can not be as fast as the special forces, 30 minutes to come down, at this time, the number of Chinese troops in the city, increased to about 1500 people, although there are still some wounded, but the number of this personnel, I don't know how much stronger than before, the most important thing is that the two battalions of the first division, It is already less than 30 kilometers away from the trading city, and they are hurrying overnight, trying to arrive at the trading city before daylight tomorrow, and follow the tunnel to enter the trading city.

In this way, the total personnel of the trading city will reach an astonishing number of 4,500 people, and there are about 3,500 regular elite infantry, which can hold the defense line of the trading city relatively solidly, and the rest, the special forces, will lurk around, doing what they are best at, and the grassland that looks unobstructed is everywhere for the special forces, and in a sense, it is a paradise for the special combat team.

The doctors, at the first time after getting off the airship, regardless of the fatigue of the long journey, were put into the field hospital for the first time, and the military doctors of the three divisions were all supported to the front line of the trading city, a total of 121 people, including 31 doctors who could operate on the main operation, as well as the surgical equipment that came with it, almost occupied most of the airship, these were carried into the field hospital, the most critical patient number, and the first batch of operations began, and there were three or four batches of such operations in the future, when the squeezed wounded were operated after the operation, They will prepare for the next big battle.

The war has not yet begun, but the slaughter has been accumulated in the trading city, retreating to the tunnels, flexible against the enemy, although it has been announced, but most of the soldiers, including the special forces, have held their breath, especially the first battalion, they have retreated on the battlefield, all kinds of training subjects, really used in practice, the entire trading city as a big battlefield, all kinds of whimsy, just 1200 mines are arranged, and 1800 tricky mines, it can be said that they can be thought of, they can be arranged, All of them have been arranged, and the entire trading city has truly become a battlefield, and even some arrangements have taken into account tomorrow's artillery coverage, and it is difficult to choose the area that is difficult to be covered by artillery fire, or hit.

The night is gradually deepening, the morning star has risen high, in the distance Kyakhta, under the night fog that has not yet dissipated, there is movement, most of the soldiers of the new 122nd Division and the 156th Division are resting, a There are still the remaining remnants of the 173 and 179 divisions responsible for guarding, after a calm night, the Russian army began to move, first of all, the divisional artillery of 4 divisions.

Caliber howitzers, which can hit 10 kilometers away, are not as powerful as the Krupp artillery, which is second to none in the Far East, with 12 divisions in one division, 122 and 156 are first-class divisions, each with 24 guns, adding up to 72 guns, a total of 12 base guns, in anyone's opinion, it is enough to raze the trading city, even if the trading city has a strong will and defensive line, under the superior artillery, there is no meaning, this is not only after the division commanders of the 122 and 156 divisions, Even A, who was hit hard by the Chinese army in Kyakhta, knew quite well that this time, the other side did not have such an inexplicable weapon as airships, and the number of 120 guns was 6 times that of the previous gunboats.

The loud trumpet, sounded at 7:30 in the morning, it was the offensive horn again, the artillery was stripped of the gun, the skilled artillerymen began to make the final preparations, and a real big battle was about to begin. (To be continued)
