The staff headquarters located in Baotou is still brightly lit at this time, and after the surprise attack of the Russian army, the second-line troops of the three divisions were exposed to the attack of 300,000 Russian troops, and the staff maintained a high degree of attention, the other side is a 300,000 army, even if the combat effectiveness is not strong, it is more than 4 times the difference, such a difference, one is not good, it is a large number of casualties.

Since the beginning of the operation, the General Staff has maintained smooth contact with the front line, but the war report is intermittent and not comprehensive, until now, I have received a complete battle report, after reading the correspondent's translation of the front line battle report, Zhang Xiaohuai and Cai Ye are long breathers, the strategic intention is basically achieved, even if the Russian army finds out that it is a trap, if you want to escape, you must drop a large piece of meat, if you don't escape, then at most one day, the battle here will be over.

But then, seeing the number of casualties, they frowned more or less, and they all looked at Yang Yuanzhao, and they didn't dare to say anything.

Yang Yuanzhao knew what they wanted to say, so he took a breath and said, "Am I so rigid? Is it completely disregarding the status quo? ”

Although Yang Yuanzhao's tone is not very good, but the intention is obvious, Zhang Xiaohuai's face is slightly lowered, there is such a big loophole in the staff, someone must be responsible, but the result is good and bad, is the key to the problem, if it is true, more than 10,000 casualties, I am afraid that Yang Yuanzhao does not need to be harsh, he can't say it, 800 people, it depends on how to face it, although it is also a great casualty, but it is acceptable, Yang Yuanzhao's words are placed here. That's more than half of the solution.

Yang Yuanzhao looked around at the generals in the war room and said, "The reason why I paid so much attention to the issue of casualties at that time. The reason is simple, there are too few hole cards in China. If we don't pay attention to protection, our army will not be able to develop at all, because of our previous habits, even if we train a large number of excellent soldiers, they will be consumed in the process of constant consumption. But now we have an industry unrivalled in the world, and we have a large, most sophisticated army. How could I still put it at this point, scars and sacrifices are always the most outstanding medals of soldiers, and the earning and protection of our huge territory still requires the sacrifice of soldiers. ”

"So?" Cai Ye said excitedly that if the casualty restrictions were lifted, many of his plans could be opened.

Yang Yuanzhao changed his words and continued: "Radical methods, you still don't have to think about it. I'm not afraid of sacrifices, I'm just afraid of senseless sacrifices, and I see the battle plan of the General Staff and can carry it out. Soldiers who sacrifice can receive the greatest praise and even go up a notch. To encourage this kind of unafraid sacrifice of hardship, next. Let the Russian army see our strength. ”

Yang Yuanzhao was able to figure it out, for the Chinese army. It's really good, even Feng Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, although I don't know why, Yang Yuanzhao is so important to human life, and even to a certain extent, for the Chinese National Defense Force, casualties have become a huge burden, it is undeniable that in the past 5 years, in the past 5 years, in the successive wars, the efforts of the General Staff and the Army have tried all kinds of ways to finally let the casualties of the army be controlled to a certain extent, accompanied by the emergence of medical treatment and military doctors, In particular, the common popularity of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, the development of various military emergency drugs, so that the whole of China's casualty recovery rate has always been very high, wounded soldiers are the best supplementary soldiers, they are familiar with the battlefield, after being injured, they have a certain experience, it is impossible to be like the new soldiers, brave and tenacious, for the Chinese army, brave and tenacious, will never be the most favored by the Chinese army, in some cases, can be solved by other methods, China will never use brave and tenacious soldiers to charge.

In this case, China is like a snowball, rolling out a huge number of troops, but then, there is no opponent around, in the future, to attack Siberia, or even in the future, to join the world war between the two major groups of the Central Powers and the Entente, and then hold such an idea, then there is really a problem, as a close ally of Germany, even above the German staff headquarters and the front line, there are some military observers in the northwest, whether it is the confrontation between the two sides in Paris, or after breaking through the defense line in Paris, The confrontation between the two sides in Bordeaux was absolutely tragic, and even the level of German casualties in such a powerful attack was unimaginable.

China will not fall into that kind of situation, but if you worry about casualties, so long to be constrained, you must know that at present, China plus Lan Fang, has occupied the northeast and southeast of the entire Asia, if Siberia is included, the entire China area will reach an astonishing 20 million square kilometers, this is the future Soviet Union's land area, terrible to suffocation, Russia is only 100 million people, can not play the real effect of tens of millions of square kilometers of land, but China is not, At present, it has a population of nearly 500 million, and with the support of domestic policies, the population will continue to increase, plus the selective addition of some foreign immigrants and ethnic minorities, China's population advantage will continue to be maintained.

This battle report was finally well evaluated, and a reward from the General Staff was sent to the front line, and the front-line commanders who were still in a state of worry immediately understood the intentions of the General Staff, which was very simple, and the sacrifice was within an acceptable range, so next. The Chinese army fought more actively, retreated more resolutely on the inside, and resisted more prominently on the periphery, coming and going, earlier than expected, about 80% of the Russian army was attracted to the hilly area, occupying the original Chinese army's fortifications, and they unconsciously entered the trap while winning the victory.

It's too smooth, the commander of the Russian army, Marebev, has a little doubt in his heart, but it is obvious on the other side that it is not the three regular three main forces, but the second-line troops, the advantage in numbers, plus the advantage in the combat effectiveness of the troops, so that they don't think much about it, he is just a regiment commander, and he became the commander of 300,000 people under the premise of the rapid expansion of the army in Siberia and a large number of personnel losses, he himself does not have such ability, and it is not bad to be able to mix 300,000 people together and attack the hilly terrain, The more strategic aspects are difficult for him.

At night, the stalemate between the two sides continued, and a daytime allowed the operation to enter the fourth day, on this day, no longer occupied the high ground, but at least 8 high grounds, allowing the Russian army to occupy a foothold, and the seemingly stable Chinese defense line may be broken at any time, and the excitement overwhelmed the Russian army's mind, they did not know that the catastrophe of destruction came at this time.

Malebev did not expect at all that 12 kilometers away, more than 400 artillery pieces of more than 100 mm artillery were already in full formation, and during the three-day attack, these artillery groups were scattered 50 guns for close support, and last night, the divided artillery groups were also concentrated with 400 guns ready to be fired at one time, pouring out most of the artillery fire, and destroying the Russian troops in front.

Eighteen balloons flew high, and the high-powered optical sights aimed at the 12 hills that were currently located in the entire hilly area, and the defenders in close contact also divided the key areas, and then determined the direction of attack through the calculation of the auxiliary aiming system.

Today is a sunny day, even the Russian army is a little excited, but today, nothing can stop them, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, they have broken through at least 6 lines of defense on the periphery, the entire defense system of the other side has been broken, there is no way to form an overall protection system, as long as you break through the two in front of you, you can completely annihilate the other party, this is the best opportunity.

All the soldiers were ordered to eat at 7 o'clock in the morning, and then the attack began at 8 o'clock, and some of the junior officers, began to do the final encouragement work, facing a fixed position, even if weak, it took courage to attack, and the Russian army was brave and not afraid of any challenge.

At more than 6 o'clock, the genius was just dawning, on the position of the Russian army, there were bursts of cooking smoke, this is the tradition of the Russian army, and the method of cooking rice is still used, because today is to fight, breakfast must be solid, but this does not hide at all, but it exposes their strategic intentions, on the contrary, in the Chinese army, smoke-free meal bags have long been popularized, even if it is a field meal bag, you can also use the method of adding water to heat the meal bag, so that the soldiers can eat hot meals, and because of the characteristics of the meal bag, you can replace the meal, hidden, and safe.

Observing the cooking time of the Russian army, the Chinese army finally determined the last moment of the attack, and it is expected that the Russian army will eat at 7 o'clock, 10 to 20 minutes, and then it will assemble and prepare to charge, this time point is the best time to attack.

Both sides are preparing, the difference is that the Russian army is just coming at its own pace, they don't know, their rhythm has been mastered by the Chinese side, one side has a heart, one side has no heart, and even falls into a trap I don't know, the result is doomed, when the Russian army is frantically preparing to win the final victory, time will stand still at 7:20 to end, 400 cannons, according to different directions, aimed at 12 heights, shooting Zhuyuan has been fixed, and then they will not according to the actual situation, It is a carpet bombardment, 20 minutes, each artillery will fire 100 shells, 40,000 shells, will plow the front around the heights, thoroughly, when the time comes, the unprotected, even unprepared Russian army, will inevitably usher in a dull blow, everything is about to end.
