With the efforts of the staff, armored vehicles that removed the superstructure one by one were welded with the new superstructure protection. Due to the material processing, Yang Yuanzhao did not choose any oblique arrangement. It was the traditional and easiest style to process, and it was even rough and a little uneven. It was not a powerful tank, but just a temporary armored vehicle.

Perhaps, after this battle, with the help of the industry that has already been fundamental to the northwest, simple armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles can be made, but with the strength of Baotou, the cannon cannot be placed on the tank, let alone the larger self-propelled cannon. However, in this era, heavy armored vehicles that can withstand artillery above 100 mm are enough.

The shallow adjustment continues. Under the noses of the Russians, with the help of invisible underground fortifications, Baotou began to mobilize its strength continuously. If this is a game, the Russian army with maps will find that the small red dots symbolizing the enemy appear densely at the forefront. Unfortunately, there is no observation of special forces or radar display, and only by looking at the naked eye and telescope, the positions in the northwest seem to be as normal.

Time passed slowly. For a full 10 days, after digging trenches, especially after a large amount of excavation, there was no movement at all. The Russian army only felt that it might be the subsequent reinforcements that arrived and increased positions in order to increase their positions in order to strengthen the reinforcements, but they did not know that this was the Northwest Army preparing fangs. Everything that seemed calm had infinite crises.

Time finally reached the moment of attack, and the attacking team had completed preparations. 40 modified armored vehicles all passed through underground passages. They were in a state of activation. The underground fortifications of the City of Buying and Sales were huge and complex, even facing the direction of Chikto. There was an exit that had never been opened, and could cross the river in Chikto from the underground.

This was the only attack exit left after the design, and it was also for the possible war against Russia. This was an absolutely closed exit. Not only did the upper layer of 3 meters deep soil, there were also stone slabs over 4 meters below, and the protection was very tight. As long as it was not unlucky that someone digged ten feet of the ground here, there would be no fear of discovering it.

This is also the only underground fortifications of the Made and Sales City that can be used to attack. Just pull out the stone slabs and then use directional explosives to blow up the three-meter-thick soil layer, and 12 roads that can pass through a length, width and height of 5 meters will be exposed. The direction is the surrounding area of ​​Chaktu, and it is from the city wall of Chaktu. It may be only 800-1,000 meters.

Now the Russian army in Chaktu formed a group, and there were no stations in Chaktu. There were only a small number of fixed defenses of about three or four thousand, relying on Chaktu, and the protection system formed. It extended to a ten-kilometer area, and 6 divisions were stationed here together. It was the densest part of the entire front line. After passing these six divisions, the artillery positions and the general command center, which were distributed in less than 10 kilometers in sequence, from 75 to 120 to 150 and 180, and were all surrounded by infantry. According to the arrangement of the Russian army, it was the strongest part.

This time, the 12 exits were located in the overlapping parts of the two divisions. It was not only the most powerful place in the trench group, but also the most densely packed place in the place where soldiers were most dense. This was a coincidence, but it was used by the staff according to their own strength and the strength of the armored vehicles, which was a perfect position to attack.

Not to mention in the eyes of the Russian army, in the eyes of soldiers of this era, according to the usual war theory, such dense places and trench protection were originally safe, and it was possible to capture them unless it was a decisive impact of a large army and covered by heavy artillery. However, facing the Northwest Army that did not play according to common sense, this was the best assault direction.

The staff members have spent a week carefully considering all possibilities and lowering all variables to a very low level as much as possible. All possibilities will be analyzed based on the characteristics of the battlefield. Even with the help of Germany, the staff members have most of the resumes of the Russian commander opposite.

A seemingly simple resume is the key to analyzing the characteristics of these commanders in the eyes of professional personnel. In combat, habits are common. Unless they are famous generals with no constant power, other commanders can analyze their focus and expertise from past experiences. When intelligence and analysis reach a certain level, they can almost be called missing.

In addition to the staff members being busy, others are also busy. Observers in the special forces and surveyors in the artillery, they jointly drew maps on the opposite side, which were accurate to within meters. According to the distribution of the opponent, the drawn areas were almost every 10 meters. These sign lines and numbers had been provided to the artillery, which were enough to guide the launch of artillery, and these areas were accurate to the extreme.

The Russian army was still in a daze and ignorance. They didn't know that the God of Death had already shrouded them. When they were used to it, they thought that the defense in the northwest was stronger than the attack, and the two sides were just temporarily in conflict, the God of Death's sickle was already hanging on their necks.

The weather today is good, it is quite breeze and sunny. When it comes to dusk, there are a lot of clouds. For ordinary people, this is not a good weather. The low clouds make people feel a little depressed. However, for the Northwest Army that raided, it is a good weather. The night is dark. Because it is the beginning of the moon, most of the moon is blocked by the planets under their feet and does not emit enough light. It is just a crescent moon. In the sky, there is cloudy weather. Although it is dry, the visibility is not high. It seems that the normal Northwest Army positions are gathering madly underground, and all troops are beginning to prepare for it.

The strongest warriors were drawn from the 6 divisions, with a small number of people, about 8,000 people. They all chose good tactics and strong physical strength. They were all the best among armed off-roaders. When they were training, they were all at the top, with good physical strength and running ability. This group of people were specially drawn out, and even broke up some of the units to follow the armored vehicles.

The modified armored vehicles have a maximum speed of 40 kilometers, but they cannot run at full speed on the battlefield, but the lowest speed will not be less than 15 kilometers per hour. Otherwise, when the opponent's artillery reacts and conducts a coverage attack here, it will be a bit dangerous. High speed and changes are the best weapons to avoid artillery fire. Even if the armor of an armored vehicle can withstand about 100 mm of artillery, it is not fun to occasionally drill onto the track.

This part of the infantry is specially selected to keep up with the armored vehicles after the armored vehicles attacks. What they need to do is to gradually extend the gaps cleared by the armored vehicles and strive to achieve the greatest results.

On the front line, several division commanders looked at the watch in their hands. The attack began at 11 o'clock in the evening. This moment is one of the most tired moments for ordinary people. The reason why they did not choose between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock is because according to weather forecasts, there may be a rain in the early morning, the clouds are already thick and the moisture begins to be rich.

Rain has little impact on war, but the muddy environment and complex ground will greatly reduce the effect of armored vehicles, and it is even a great test for infantry. In Cai E's plan, most armored vehicles must last for about an hour, that is, to advance 15 kilometers and enter the depths of the Russian army, so that they can divide and surround the Russian army to the greatest extent and achieve the greatest results.

The night was dark, and on the grassland, unknown birds were chirping, and occasionally some frogs could be heard, showing peace and calmness. Cai E stood in the command post, and the radio waves were slowly transmitted in the silent darkness. On the periphery of the entire Russian position, in addition to the blocking positions, there were also a large number of observation posts to observe the situation of the Russian army and ensure that the enemy was attacked at the most sudden speed.

Baotou's developed radios, plus specific channels, let alone the Russian army coming here, it is impossible to find these radio waves even if there is radio. 40 radio stations and more than 100 relevant personnel are responsible for receiving radios and summarizing the information at each point into the command center. Such comprehensive and unmissible observation and command have enabled the Northwest to know oneself and the enemy. The form of war is changing, and the environment of the battlefield is changing, but some war theories and philosophy will never change.

Cai E's face was relatively calm. According to the information feedback from the surrounding observation posts, everything was as usual. The opponent's Russian army had no defense at all. Most of the artillery had entered the protection. This was the result of the Russian army's cleverness in the past three or four months, preventing it from being destroyed by large-caliber 203mm artillery fire at night. All the artillery fires covered by the 203 guns entered the bunker, which was a comprehensive anti-aircraft artillery shelter.

The Russian soldiers on the front line also entered the trenches or tents and slept. There were less than one-fifth of the people on the front line, which was the best opportunity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every minute seemed to be hitting a hammer in my heart. Finally, it arrived at 11 o'clock. Cai E picked up the red phone, dialed the artillery, and then issued a series of orders to the phone. The sound was quickly transmitted in the telephone line meeting, and the general attack began.

Directly in the crypt, not even pushed to the ground, 20 doors 203 began to tilt the artillery fire in the distance, and the faster preparations 155 and 108 also activated their roar in the night, and countless flames soared into the sky. The target was the calm Russian camp. They would be responsible for the first wave of attacks, which was to provide cover for the assault of armored vehicles. There were also unexpected attacks on Russian positions, eliminating those Russian artillery outside the original 203 gun range, but now they were shrouded in the range.
