Chapter five hundred and sixty third destined to fight
Regarding the small station, I informed me immediately before the armored train arrived that Brusinov was, and he was training the troops to reach Chita. This time, a large number of troops were concentrated on the Chita side. Unfortunately, most of them were drawn from various places. Not to mention the strength, the key is that there is no joint force...≦
Brusinov claimed to be a famous general and knew that if he wanted to do something good, he would have to use a sharp weapon. Even though the military and government repeatedly urged him, he had been here and improved his combat effectiveness as much as possible. However, before he could finish the training, he received such a bad news. Brusinov almost got hurt internally. Even with his excellent demeanor, he couldn't help but curse, cxx.
No wonder Brusinov was so depressed. From the beginning, he did not get any benefits. He didn't say half of the departure. He was ordered to return and deprived about two-thirds of the army. He only took the troops of only six divisions to the Far East. Although he was ordered to concentrate his military strength, nominally 600,000, he knew that these 600,000 were probably not much stronger than the previous twenty divisions. After arriving at Chita and personally grasping the first-hand information on the front line, he knew that the trouble was in great trouble. As an excellent military strategist, he was not a fool like Samsolov. He knew very well what he was facing. Samsolov had not left much before, but from the mouths of survivors, especially those who escaped from the front line, he could almost tell the combat effectiveness of the opponent's Northwest Army. This was not a local warlord, but an elite force that was more terrifying than the regular army.
The Northwest Army is not a number of mobs as I thought before. They have received rigorous training. Especially modern military training elites have accurate marksmanship. Once an opportunity is found, one blow will be hit. What is this? It has been completely a long time of training, or even a modern army that is selected from the best, not to mention the luxuriously arranged weapons and equipment. What does the 203 gun represent? No matter where he got it from, how can it be transported to a barren land like Chaktu, which poses a great threat to them.
As for the information currently available, the Northwest heavy firepower and automatic firepower layout density is very high. There is also a small cannon that can be carried by individual soldiers and quickly transferred. Unfortunately, it is only analyzed through intelligence and has not received real support from physical objects. In this way, the Northwest Army's firepower layout density is already terrifying and outrageous.
In order to fight against the Northwest Army, especially in terms of firepower, there must be no less than them. Brusinov has already mobilized artillery from all over the place as much as possible, and even transferred three train cannons, which cannot be placed on land, but can only be placed in the middle of the Red Tower. The hundreds of kilometers from the Red Tower to the Chikto is simply insurmountable for train cannons. So what about the 280mm caliber, thinking of Baotou actively attacking. That is impossible, according to the information he received and the analysis of the opponents on the other side, the Northwest seemed to have made up his mind and huddled in defense.
Brusinov's inquiry into the defense line of the city was very deep. From the survivors of the 173rd and 179th Divisions and other survivors, it was very clear that even the front line formed later, the accumulation of four months, plus the Russian army's narrative, was probably not much worse than the fortress. Thinking of this, Brusinov couldn't help but blame Samsolov, who was already dead, was causing trouble. Just kidding, not to mention the loss of the army and the country, he lost a large number of elite troops. Not to mention the Russian army in the Far East, the European divisions were definitely not worse than what he brought, but this was not the most important thing. The important thing was to lose such a foothold as Chaktu, leaving them without foundation troops to attack the opponent's match-level protection. Isn't this a death sentence?
To be honest, if there is a choice, Brusinov is unwilling to attack. He has a large number of artillery and has initially established a complete defense system. Except for the lack of tall and steep fortresses, he owns everything in the fortress. To attack, isn’t it just to fight for life, and it may not be possible to fight.
Unfortunately, Brusinov had to attack. After all, the face of Tsar Nicholas II was put there. The European part, the military and governments did not know what they were facing. Even if he reported it, no one would pay attention to it. China has always been a barren land. A few years ago, during the Russian-Japanese War, even the Chinese center dared not say anything when fighting in the Northeast. What's more, how could local forces make the Russian army stand in a hurry? It must be fearing the war. At that time, even Brusinov was a general, and it might be imprisonment and death.
In a dilemma, what Brusinov could do is to increase the chance of victory as much as possible. Perhaps the other party is very strong, or perhaps the other party has a fixed fortress. However, according to information, the development of the northwest is only four or five years. Even if there was a secret development before, the northwest would not expand a large number of troops. When people's lives are fought to a certain extent and both sides suffer heavy losses, it may be an opportunity. Russia, which has a population of 170 million, seems not afraid of anything. Even if the northwest has the same population, a region has not yet become a country. When life rises to more than 500,000, it is probably a chance.
Brusinov worked hard to consolidate the foundation, but at this time, the railway town was attacked, with 60 rows and more than 1,800 tons. This was not inferior to him. In this way, Nicholas II sent their army to save face. Even the stingy Tsar took out 500,000 US dollars. The government almost drew some funds from the few government expenses, and then transferred a large amount of materials from the arsenal.
However, 1,800 tons of materials were destroyed, which was simply thrown away in vain. If you want to make up for it, it is difficult. What should I do? Why did the Northwest Army miss such a large attack range? Brusinov was a little puzzled. He knew the location of the small station, and even went to it. With a casual glance, he knew that even an army above a regiment could withstand at least one hour. The small station also had telegrams. As long as there was a little effort, reinforcements could be recruited through telegrams. There would be losses. Once the armored train passed, the materials would not be lost.
But Xiao Zhan did not have any telegrams or send any requests for help. It was discovered by a group of troops passing by when all the supplies were detonated the next day. Does Baotou have such strong combat power? It quietly eliminated 300 fully armed troops?
Brusinov was puzzled. In fact, let alone him, Baotou's tactics may have been used to the infiltration of special forces and the troops to attack in the 21st century. It can be clearly known that this was infiltration and infiltrating. However, in this era, although it was not decades ago, when shooting platoons and shots, it was a stage of front-line advancement and breakthrough. Infiltration, behind enemy lines, asymmetrical strikes, etc., were simply new things that could not be new. Without seeing them with your own eyes, it would never be believed. Only 36 people killed the 300 army quietly. Not to mention that the Russian army was careless and mostly drunk. Even if they were fully focused and unable to defend, they would be killed and injured, but the news would be transmitted back.
Brusinov, who couldn't figure it out, decided almost instantly to let the airship take off. No matter what, he had to find out what was the reason. At this time, he had a little bit of gratitude, but fortunately he brought the airship. Otherwise, he could only find out what happened through a large-scale search team. I'm afraid it would be a week or two later. At that time, he could find out what was only a few airships, a distance of hundreds of kilometers. For airships, it was only a few hours. The most important thing was that the airships could continue to investigate. A large-scale search around, as long as there were large armies, they could not escape their search. In Brusinov's view, if the 300 army in the small station could not issue a telegram for help in an instant, there were probably only a large number of artillery attacks. Because the small station was destroyed, it was not clear whether it was caused by an explosion or a shell, because countless shells exploded.
Of course, shelling or explosions, if you investigate carefully, you will still find the answer. The caliber of the Northwest Army and the Russian Army is completely different. If you search slowly, they will find that most of the Russian army died of cold weapons or bullets, and they didn't even get out of bed. However, in a hurry and panic, even the news from the small station was vague, let alone the detailed investigation results.
Chita did not have a take-off base for airships, which was inconvenient for airships. Brusinov brought the airship here and prepared in advance. Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops gathered here, with extremely abundant manpower. Under the tactics of the sea of people, four take-off bases were built and received Brusinov's order. In the midst of intense preparation, the two airships had already prepared a complete airship and quickly filled with gas. There were less than a hundred cubic meters of airships. When filling the gas, they were not as slow as large airships. The preparations were completed in 40 minutes. A group of pilots and investigators boarded the airship and then flew to the air.
80 kilometers south of Chita, two Northwest Army airships were also advancing towards Chita. They were extremely fast and could reach the Russian army outside in a maximum of 20 minutes. Under the bright sunshine, the huge airships could not be blocked at all.
In this way, inadvertently, the airships of the northwest and the Russian army had already taken off the air, as if they were fateful, and they were about to collide. The first large-scale air battle is about to take place. The world may be the first large-scale airship duel. In the middle of Siberia, the sky above Chita, the important hub of the Siberian Railway, was opened. The cruel air battle began to unveil the veil from this day, creating the birth of a new army.
