What to do? A difficult choice arose in Wu Jian's heart. At this time, if you lead the troops to retreat, the three or four hundred men might be able to retreat unscathed or even retreat into the tunnel. With the help of the strong tunnel, most of the living power can be preserved. This is a better choice for the precious special forces.

He gave up the strategic task like this. Although it was force majeure, as long as he entered the tunnel, Wu Jian had only theoretical counterattack ability. From the underground to the ground, even if there was a surprise, he needed enough personnel. If there were not enough personnel, counterattack unless the opponent was not prepared.

As for the people Wu Jian is currently on hand, even if all the people are recovered, there are only 300 people. The defense line of the Russian army that has caused heavy losses to the Russian army will be thoroughly searched and even stationed a certain number of heavy troops. In this case, there is only one opportunity, and the longer the time, the more time the Russian army will be, and the more likely it will be to be exposed.

As long as you exit the surface, it means that the buying and selling city will be really thrown into the hands of your opponent. When the subsequent Russian army arrives and relies on the buying and selling city to form a line of defense, it is definitely not good news for the Mongolian war situation. The Russian army, which has an absolute advantage in number, can be arranged calmly as needed, while Baotou can only be passively beaten. These are completely two strategic situations. The complete plan formulated before is likely to go bankrupt.

After several months of hard work, Baotou has integrated the forces of the three provinces. With the help of hundreds of millions of people, if the military power is to be expanded, it can be expanded several times. Baotou has its own weapons manufacturer, and its weapons will not be subject to external constraints. But the combat effectiveness of these armies cannot be guaranteed. The Russian army that has seen two divisions is really incomparable to the Chinese team, and even the Beiyang. After losing 70% and losing the initiative in the battlefield, the Russian army still did not collapse completely. It is enough to praise it. If it were the Beiyang army, it would have fled long ago. As for the revolutionary party, it is even more difficult. Except for the three divisions that blocked the Beiyang, the strength of other revolutionary parties is almost all scumbag.

Wu Jian stared at the combat map in front of him, trying to find a solution from the middle, and give him some people, let alone more people, three to five hundred people, he could rush before the 12 gunboats had not gained a foothold, but now he could only watch and watch these gunboats swaying along the Selenge River and heading towards Caktu.

Time passed slowly, and the brightly lit fleet was five kilometers away from Baotou, and suddenly stopped. The flat-bottomed sand boats began to dock along the coast of Chuktu, without a pier. However, they were not loading any cargo, they were well-trained soldiers. They jumped directly from the boat and then gathered on the shore. During this process, 12 gunboats began to open their muzzles towards the Trade City, and it was obvious that they were preparing to shoot guns.

Oops, Wu Jian was shocked, and then quickly ordered that many positions on the front line should be withdrawn, at least the barricades would definitely not be there. Some houses covered by artillery fire would also be withdrawn and hid in safer anti-aircraft shelters.

The power of the 120 gun is not that the 75 gun can be compared with Midea. It has a caliber of about 50mm larger, but the weight and charge amount of the shell are several times that of the 75 gun. Its ability to attack is also extremely strong. It has been hit by saturated shells, and it is difficult to withstand such a blow and may collapse.

At this time, each of the remaining powers in the Making and Sales City was extremely precious. Even Liang Lingdong's military personnel, the fierce battle of one or two days made them transform from a semi-militarized personnel into real soldiers, which was a combat power that could be shown. The radio waves passed through the Making and Sales City, one step faster than artillery fire coverage. Before the personnel retreated completely, the gunboat set up its attack formation and began to shell the Making and Sales City.

The launch of gunboats is much faster than that of the army. Russia has reached the third largest navy in the world. It was once a powerful naval power with dozens of battleships. Even though the Russo-Japanese War was beaten up and lost most of the navy, its traditions made their inland fleet quite powerful. From turning to forming camps and then firing artillery, it was like a smooth journey, and its well-trained performance brought strong combat power.

Even without shooting, even in an unfamiliar environment, the artillery fire was concentrated in the front of the shopping and sales city with visual observation. The 120mm shell, with abundant kinetic energy, crashed into the room in front of the protruding position. The steel mesh made of steel bars as thick as a thumb, plus high-grade cement, was enough to withstand the cover of the 75th gun, but in front of the 120th gun, it was a little weak. The first layer of defense was instantly broken through, a big hole appeared, and it exploded inside.

As the fortification in front of the protrusion, of course, there will not be only one wall. After the space inside is reasonably used, it is not filled with cement, but is filled with some filling materials. These are broken through and debris are generated, but they have successfully reduced the kinetic energy of the shell. Almost in front of the second wall, the 120 shells have lost most of the kinetic energy and are no longer capable of killing.

Because of the reminder, most of the soldiers left the weak observation posts that were easily attacked by 120 cannons, leaving only a few hidden points, including Wu Jian's command center. This place has been specially designed and has blocked around it. It is difficult for ordinary ballistics to hit here, so Wu Jian can command smoothly here.

A total of 25 waves and 300 shells were attacked, which was much more powerful than before, and the attack range of tens of thousands of 75 guns. In addition, the attack range was relatively concentrated. The sudden part, the small courtyards near the river, suffered the maximum amount of artillery fire. Three or four rooms were collapsed, and several fire points were destroyed and they were unusable.

With a sigh, Wu Jian knew that he had to make a choice. The defense line of the city was not a real military fortress after all. It was already considered to be extraordinary when facing 75 artillery guns. If the number was sufficient, the ground protection system would be removed one by one under the slogan of artillery fire. As long as the opponent had enough shells, he would not only not be able to take the initiative on the battlefield, but he would even fill everyone in it. How to do it.

This decision was extremely painful, especially for the special forces that the Soldier King regarded himself, Wu Jian felt that this might be a stain on his life. Because of this, even though he had made a judgment in his heart, some voice was still saying to him, wait a little longer.

After the 25th round of artillery covered, the gunboat did not continue. I don’t know if it was no results or was not ready to waste the shells anymore. In short, after firing a round of artillery fire, they escorted the 11 sandboats next to the sandboat, unloading people without ports and docks. The entire operation took two hours. When the personnel came down, they quickly rushed to Chikto, while the gunboat was cruising on the water, no more artillery fires, but they occasionally swept around with machine guns.

The other party's calmness made it difficult for Wu Jian to decide. It was already dawn. Wu Jian was about to send a telegram to Baotou Base Camp and ask what to do at this time. At this time, the correspondent came with a telegram and was surprised. Before Wu Jian could ask, he said loudly: "Battery Commander, good news, we received a point-to-point radio signal, and the first battalion came to support us!"

Point-to-point, this is the contact method of radio stations. Most radio stations, due to the distance, must be amplified by signal towers before they can be accepted. Of course, there is no exception. For the convenience of command and communication of special forces, in the special forces' wireless telegram, there is a special accepting and transmitter, which allows two radio stations to be directly contacted without amplification of signal towers. However, this limitation is also very large, do not exceed 25 kilometers, otherwise the long wave will attenuate to the point where it cannot be received.

This is a useless existence for long-distance telegraphs and controls. It is effective for special forces, which often interspersed and infiltrated. This type of radio station weighs about 3 kilograms more than ordinary radio stations. It may be a problem for ordinary troops, but for special forces, it is easy to match them all.

"How many people have come to the first battalion?"

“700 people!”

Wu Jian's eyes lit up suddenly, just like a clear spring was found in a sand model. The 700 people were already the most of the military power of the First Battalion of the Special Forces. Unlike the reserves of the Second Battalion, the First Battalion has been in force for many years. It has participated in the war against the Beiyang and attacked Mongolia. Even the power of one battalion alone ensured that the situation in Mongolia would not deteriorate anymore. Whether it is combat effectiveness or combat experience, it is far from comparable to the Second Battalion. At this moment of end of the journey, the first battalion's magical weapons have fallen from the sky, and it is no longer only a strong support, but a timely help.

Wu Jian said anxiously: "Who is here in the first battalion? Where is the position now!"

"Battleman Lan is here in person!" The correspondent said excitedly: "The message contains the exclusive signature of Batman Lan.

"This is great!" Wu Jian thought for a while and said, "Order, everyone should be alert, and tell Battalion Commander Lan what we are facing!" Wu Jian had already put aside his previous thoughts, and he was ecstatic from the bottom of his heart. If he really decided to retreat just now, this would not be a huge mistake. The first battalion came to support, but they withdrew from the position. This was a big joke.

Let the correspondent go, but in Wu Jian's mind, there was a question that kept lingering. How did the first battalion come from? He knew that the first battalion participated in the Battle of Kulun and performed well, but the first batch of mechanized First Division, not the first battalion of the special forces. Could it be that it was flew over with its wings? (To be continued)
