Chapter 1170: Night Attack and Harassment
"Early tomorrow morning, let's prepare for artillery fire, you can fight for a longer time!" Yan Xishan said conclusively, he had already studied everything in Chita City, and he could be regarded as having prepared for a long time, and the officers under him were the same, but when he thought of attacking this fortified city, his heart was more or less straight, in Chita City, there were only 150,000 defenders, of which more than 7 percent were just recruits who had just picked up arms, but under this defense, even if the whole army of the Mengbei Army set out, it would be necessary to report the loss of at least 100,000 people, or even more possibilities.
The Chinese army is not Russia, just pull a few farmers, issue weapons, and become an army, at least after a certain amount of cultural studies, and after a minimum of one year, at most three years of military training, it can become an army, such a unit, in the future, may be sent as cannon fodder, somewhat a pity.
When the whole army is not yet in place, but when it is on the periphery, the special forces have already gone out, but unfortunately the results are not high, unlike the previous pervasive, whether it is Kulen or the trading city, especially the battle to liberate the Kulen and the trading city to resist the Russian army, the special forces have made immortal feats, and those operations are all internal operations, which are within the national border.
No, this is Russia's territory, a territory that has been in business for hundreds of years, there are yellow people, but there are very few, almost negligible, most of them are high-nosed, blue-eyed Slavs, under such a race, and under the premise that the Russian army officers pay considerable attention, it is impossible to mix in, and it is even more impossible to steal the city.
Chita itself was a military stronghold, and all the services of the inhabitants were mainly military, although Brusinov's army of 1 million was gone. But the rest are also heavily guarded. There was a curfew on the entire street, and no one was allowed to go out on the street at night. This kind of extremely tight defense, even if the special forces are superior, there is no way to infiltrate, at most draw cold guns and knock out a few officers.
In a city of 150,000 people, a few officers do not affect the overall situation at all, especially senior officers, who are well aware of the strength of the Northwest Special Forces, and they do not take the lead at all. Just relying on the telephone and other means of command, which is easy to achieve for a city that Russia has been operating for many years. Even if Russia is stupid, after going through the past, under the premise of suffering so many losses, how can it still suffer losses, they have done everything well, just waiting for the attack from the northwest, even if it is a new recruit. Relying on this city, there is also a guarantee.
Oluyumov stayed up all night, his eyes were almost red as he looked at the map, and the telegram was sent. But there was no reply, even if he did not understand the willingness of the telegram, he knew it. It was the other side that cut off the line of the telegraph, if it was replaced in Europe. He has a lot of ways to get the message out there. However, in Siberia, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there may not be a village for a thousand kilometers further north, and it is better to follow the Trans-Siberian Railway, but it is only a limited good.
Taking advantage of the night, 10 squads of cavalry were dispatched, each squad had at least 20 heavily armed warriors, no less, for the Siberian wilderness, once lost, I am afraid that even the corpse could not be found, in the original environment, there are a large number of wolves and beasts.
Wasteland, among the dense grass, a pair of eyes flashing with a faint light, comprehensive camouflage, even the face is covered with oil paint, Zhou Ye has been guarding this area for 5 hours, and in another 3 hours, it is the time to change shifts, the entire special forces are scattered in a vast area with a diameter of 120 kilometers around, to prevent Chita from transmitting information to the outside, they must fight for the blocking forces on both wings, to win 3 or 5 days, to lay the foundation for the entire campaign.
A gunshot rang out, in the silent night, it was particularly eye-catching, Zhou Ye immediately used an infrared lens to look in that direction, in this piece of grassland, there were at least 20 lurkers like Zhou Ye, when they encountered the messenger of the Russian army, they were killed as soon as possible, and no one was allowed to escape.
However, it seems that the Russian army has a large number of messengers, and on the premise of not exposing themselves, a point of special forces, a maximum of 5 shots. Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and they were scattered in a hurry, and seven or eight horsemen were fleeing frantically, and in the middle, one of them seemed to have fallen from his horse because of his injuries.
The opportunity came, Zhou Ye's heart was calmly put down, the gun in his hand was slightly flat, in the night, with the help of the infrared lens, aimed at the cavalry who was running towards him from more than 1000 meters away, and soon locked one, the head of the gun shook slightly with the ups and downs of the horse, and finally locked on the opponent and shot.
Without looking at the results, Zhou Ye shifted the head of the gun, and in just 3 minutes, a total of 6 shots were fired, hitting 4 people, and then, there were 3 horses left, and they had already run out of his range.
With a long breath, Zhou Ye relaxed slightly, and carved 4 more lines on the handle of the gun with a knife, which looked like a brand-new rifle, and the butt was already densely covered with scratches, if this scratch represented the brush of this enemy's life, hundreds of scratches were enough to see the lethality of the special forces.
In the field, at night, in a complex environment, it is the best battlefield for special forces, camouflage and complex environment, specially handled firearms, not only the exit of the fire is shielded to a minimum, the sound is also done a certain treatment, so that a certain range is sacrificed, but it is safe enough.
The messengers sent by Chita were like encountering a vast ocean, waves of nets, harvesting their lives, and that night, they were able to run out of a range of 35 kilometers, not a single one, 10 teams, 200 elite cavalry, fell forever in the Siberian night.
The night is like devouring all beasts, constantly devouring human lives, and the fallen Russian army will never be able to complete their task.
Oluyumov has always been uneasy, a large army has gathered, in the Chita radius, at least nearly a million troops, occasionally one or two gunshots, it is normal, even Chita itself, from time to time to misfire, the telegram has not been sent, the messenger is not safe, what method is used to inform the outside world?
150,000 troops, maybe under the fortified city of Chita, it is no problem to hold out for a few days, but after a long time, especially under the premise of isolation, these recruits are likely to have their minds floating, and when the time comes, any solid defense, without the participation of people, is also paper paste, what to do when the time comes.
Lose the meaning of Chita's representation, Oluyumov knows very well that the Far Eastern Military District has already killed more than one general, is he the next, almost crazy urgently mobilized senior officers, and carried out the deployment of tomorrow's operation, with only one purpose, to consume the opponent's living force as much as possible, so that Chita can guard for more time.
On the north side of Chita City, 105 special forces are quietly lurking under the city wall, which is an operation that does not belong to military operations, but fortunately, the special forces themselves are mobile and flexible, and there are no hard and fast specific tasks, and they can barely attack Chita.
Squadron Leader Yan Yu looked at the low city wall, this is a towering city wall, if they can go up and clear the defenders, they can put 120 heavy mortars here, and they can attack the military camp 2 kilometers away, the special forces can't lurk and enter the hinterland of Chita because of their race, but it's still okay to attack a section of the city wall.
Blowing arrows and throwing knives, silently killed 17 sentinels, did not alarm anyone, taking advantage of the night, dressed in black clothes up and down, even the guns were wrapped, not showing any reflection, more than ten seconds later, nearly 100 people climbed the city tower, in a very short time, after clearing the defenders near the city wall, 120 heavy mortars were erected.
5 mortars, medium mortars specially added to the stabilization device, can fire 5 bursts of rapid fire, the military quality of the special forces, even far above the elite gunners of the army, he has less than a minute, two batches, 10 shells have been fired, a total of 50 rounds, when the last one has not been issued, the first shot has fallen into the camp of the Russian army.
It was a barracks that was enough to accommodate 40,000 soldiers, and in Chita City, only the elite Ninth Division was qualified to be here, because the conditions here were the best, and it was also convenient for protection, and the nearest city wall was also more than 2 kilometers away, with the city wall and many buildings blocking it, so it should be relatively safe.
It's a pity that a bold special forces appeared, sneaked up on a section of the city wall, set up heavy mortars here, 50 rounds of high-explosive 120 heavy mortar shells, although it is impossible to bombard a camp into ruins like the real 120 heavy artillery, but at night, such a sudden attack caused chaos in the barracks, especially the lucky mortar shell hit a small warehouse, the death caused by the explosion, so that the Ninth Army lost more than 1,800 people.
After the battle, in the city of 150,000 Russian troops, the special forces were not in a hurry, and laid mines and tricks on some stairs and arteries, designed some traps by the way, and then left calmly, about 15 minutes later, the Russian army came in a hurry through the investigation, and the special forces at this moment had already disappeared into the night, and these tricks and mines left behind, and killed one or two hundred Russian troops.
In short, the first night of the siege of the Chinese army was very lively, and the surrounding sounds were almost non-stop, and the special forces and reconnaissance units successfully played the harassment to the extreme, even if the impact on Chita was minimal!
The night passed in such chaos, explosions and gunfire, in the dark night, there were such and such dark battles, but they were all at night, and the impact on Chita was very small, and the sporadic attacks and blockades did not affect the defense of the entire Chita. Most of the activities of the Chinese army are resting, and a small part of them are carrying out combat missions, and after enough rest, the next day will be the beginning of the real war. (To be continued.) )
