When Yan Xishan led the troops and drove out of the trading city, dozens of trains were speeding towards the trading city, these trains were not loaded with military materials, but a large amount of cement and steel, as well as construction machinery, the capture of Chita was a systematic project, it was easy to capture, it was not easy to defend him, China made comprehensive preparations at the beginning, not only let the Mengbei army prepare for military operations, in terms of material, but also as much as possible, the northwest in the building, It has a much more heritage than other countries, otherwise it would not have taken over many of Germany's projects, and this time, on the basis of military operations, the construction of foundation works is also following.

In terms of the strategic intention of the northwest, as early as a year or two ago, several railway trunk lines in Mongolia have been built, not only to consider the use of Mongolia in Mongolia, but also to take into account Siberia, now several railways have been built to the border of Mongolia, from the Russian Siberian railway, only one step away, as long as these railways are connected, the Mongolian Northern Army will have enough logistical supplies.

In the strategic intentions planned by Yan Xishan and perfected by the General Staff, in a short period of time, Brusinov's department was pinned down in the steppe, as long as he freed his hands, annihilation is only a matter of time, the Far East, the Ural Mountains, and even the European part, Russia can mobilize its millions, or even millions of troops at any time, to cut off Chita, which is equivalent to East and West Siberia being completely cut off, and this piece from Chita to the east does not belong to Russia at all, this is not a small place of tens of thousands of square kilometers, even larger than the former Mongolia, such a territory, The Northwest is inevitable. With the help of this opportunity, it is just right to win.

The reason why Russia did not think about Mongolia anymore. On the one hand, it's because the northwest is hard enough. On the other hand, because it is not their territory, Siberia east of Chita is a huge area that has been operated by Russia for many years, and since the Kangqian era, Russia has focused on the east. It took hundreds of years, and finally, after 1840, after Britain tore off the camouflage of the Qing Dynasty, he also began to cede land substantially.

Russia's greed for land, looking at its current land area, can be seen, he will not allow the land to be occupied by others, even now, Russia is at its weakest time, Siberia is no more. It was a barren land, Vladivostok served as the anchorage of the Far Eastern Fleet, and Russia was the largest and most complete military port in the Far East. How can it be abandoned, once the northwest completes the capture of Chita, Russia will be like being stepped on its tail. Immediately will jump up.

At such times, even if Chita is a fortress. Even if the copper wall of Chita's defense is ordinary, Russia will come to touch it. Or even the power of the country. In any battle, under the premise that such a fierce and fearless death, and even manpower is almost endless, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can be breached, not to mention that the strong defense of the northwest is based on the pressure on logistics, without perfect and continuous logistics, many things in the northwest cannot be deployed. Therefore, when the war is fought there, the construction will go there, and now, there is no way to directly build the railway from Chita to the trading city, but it can start to extend from the trading city to the north, this territory, on the surface, it seems to be Russia, in fact, it is already in the northwest, and it is still possible to start emergency construction now.

On the train from the northwest, in addition to all kinds of building materials, that is, the engineering team, the construction team is divided into two kinds, one is the railway, in this era, the railway is always the most important method of transportation, can solve the problem once and for all, build a real railway artery, their purpose, in addition to building the connection between Chita and the trading city, in the future, after solving the entire Russian Far Eastern Military District, on the basis of the original Siberian Railway, expand and build a new railway line, It will be connected with the domestic railways to form a real railway artery, and the entire territory of Eastern Siberia will be completely included in the jurisdiction of the northwest.

This is a long-term prospect, even if it is the construction efficiency of the northwest, it is not a project that can be completed in one or two years, and in the time of the arrival of the war, especially for the premise of Russia's counteroffensive in Chita in the future, a smooth logistics line of communication is imperative. The railway is the most convenient, but in terms of the ease of construction, it is still the easiest highway, a temporary three-way dirt road, is the focus of another logistics line, in the railway engineering team, of which about 6 percent, is the construction of the railway personnel.

In the roar of the train, it stopped at the trading city, and the huge number of people and machinery turned the trading city into a large construction site, more than one million tons of steel, cement, gravel, sleepers and other railway and highway materials were unloaded in the trading city, and the defenders who stayed in the trading city looked nervously around, guarding against the attack of the Russian army.

During this period of time, the trading city is the weakest, a large number of Mengbei regiments attacked, the strongest left is the second division, some reserve troops take the lead, even if the defense of the buying and selling city is strong enough, the commander of the garrison is also quite nervous, almost day and night guarding, every day the reconnaissance post does not know how many are sent, day and night guards, the Russian army did not attack. The Russian army now, there is no such over-the-horizon attack command capability at all, the concept of the Russian army is still based on the experience of the past 20 years, they have no convenient contact methods, and even the dilemma of the Brusinov department, the Russian military department does not know, they are still immersed in the possibility of Brusinov's victory, they have not thought at all, the Brusinov department has been besieged by regiments, in the hinterland of Mongolia, unable to move at all, waiting for the fate of annihilation, and the main force in the northwest has already waved north, Prepare to capture Chita, an important town on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

As long as the ice and snow melt next year, the railway construction can be completed, but the highway must be hurried to work, and the small road used by the Northern Mongolian Army is the small road that Russia and the northwest caravan spent hundreds of years stepping on, and now on the basis of this small road, the expansion and reconstruction are carried out. First use the roller to tamp the roadbed, and then use gravel, cinder, and three-layer soil to build tensely, may not be comparable to the high-grade highway, but the construction of this road is extremely fast, maybe when Yan Xishan rushed to Chita, this logistics lifeline, will be connected, when the logistics troops take this road in the future, the speed of travel can be increased by at least 3 percent, and the load capacity is huge and improved.

This is the method of warfare in the northwest, no matter what, no matter what the opponent on the opposite side is, it is extremely well considered, and those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits, and this is what they say, it looks plain, but it can be crushed by the dignified momentum, but it is difficult for the other side to seize the opportunity to defend.

Russia's control over the Far East is almost zero, and if there is an area of settlement, it may be able to have some ears and eyes, but on the line from Chita to the trading city, it used to be a busy trade route, whether it was Russian merchants or Chinese merchants, on this trade route, selling back and forth, to facilitate material exchanges on both sides, and even five to ten years ago, this channel flowed endlessly every day, at least 20 caravans, where the river flowed endlessly, and there were a large number of materials every year, in Baotou, Zhangjiakou, Kulun, Even Kyakhta sales, when Shanxi people went to the west, it was this route, whether it was the west exit represented by Baotou or the east exit represented by Zhangjiakou, Mongolia's materials were only a part, and Russia's materials were the first and foremost.

History took a huge turn in 1911, not only the situation between countries, but also these people-to-people business exchanges, after 1911, their own peaceful commercial exchanges, at this point in time has undergone a complete change, located in the war near the city of trading, both sides killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, at least hundreds of thousands of people died there, most of them were Russians, although the two sides were in a state of truce, but no one re-surveyed the border, even the two sides in that vicinity, A large number of troops were stationed, and although there was no misfire, the mutual area was a buffer zone and a no-man's land.

No one will risk their lives to carry out business and trade, unless it is a huge profit, the trade between the northwest and Russia, although the profit rate is much higher than the general business, but it has not reached the level of huge profits, no one ventures to take this trade route, this originally busy trade route, so silent, in this no man's land, let alone a caravan, even a larger animal, may attract bullets. I'm afraid that the Russian army did not expect that the Chinese army that bought and sold the city would take the initiative to attack, in their impression, China is still the impression of a few decades ago, let Russia bully and cede land, how can such a country resist.

Although the General Staff, and even the Mengbei Army, have a fairly good analysis of Russia, in all the analysis, it is impossible for Russia to send a large number of personnel to search such a no-man's land, and the attack of the Mengbei Army is tantamount to surprise, but Yan Xishan is still extremely careful, not only shrinking the troops as much as possible, but also sending a large number of teams to search the surroundings and find out the opponent's movements as soon as possible.

Everything went well, the first three or four days, there was no movement along the way, almost after walking more than a hundred kilometers, I finally ran into the wandering squad near Chita, the small-scale contact between the two sides, just like that, got the authorization from above, annihilated all the Russian troops encountered, as much as possible to reduce the possibility of the main force being exposed, the special forces and reconnaissance troops that accompanied the attack of the Mengbei Army Corps were the first to attack, and after meeting the reconnaissance troops of the other side, the first attack, as far as possible to annihilate the other party, The gunfire rang out on such an ordinary day. (To be continued.) )
