The terrain of Murmansk Port is not very good, but the number of berthed ships and tonnage do not meet the requirements of the Cossack Empire's navy. Therefore, the Cossack Empire turned its attention to the Northern Subcontinent very early, but because the journey was long and there were large areas in the Northern Subcontinent.
The desert was not easy to transform, but it was only aborted. Now that it was heard that it had become an oasis and its territory for its enemies, Alexander III naturally had some ideas.
At the end of the Taiyuan calendar, the eastern continent began to freeze in the north, especially the thick snow in the Cossack Empire had frozen a layer of hard ice shell, which provided some convenience for the Cossack Empire, which did not have any road conditions in the Eastern continent.
They relied on sleds, snowboards and a series of troop stations on the Eastern Continent began to stockpile supplies and transport soldiers to the Kuli area bordering the northern subcontinent.
Due to the cold weather and the roads are difficult to move, and the intentional concealment of the Cossack Empire, Zhao Quan's intelligence agency failed to discover their large-scale transportation operation in time. In the past winter, the Cossack military was secretly carrying out transportation.
Not only did they deliver 300,000 soldiers to the Kuli area, but they also sent all the weapons, ammunition and supplies used by these troops. The food they prepared was even enough for 300,000 soldiers to eat for a year.
On March 18, 893, the Taiyuan calendar, the Cossack Empire suddenly announced that it would not recognize the sovereignty of the Chinese territory over the Northern Subcontinent, and instead included the Northern Subcontinent in the territory of the Cossack Empire, and at the same time announced that the Cossack Empire would send troops to recover its territory.
Ten days later, Fang Xiaoyu, who received the letter from the Cossack Empire, immediately issued a notice warning the Cossack Empire not to invade the Chinese territory, and reminded them that if they do any extreme actions, they will be hit hard by the Chinese territory.
The Cossack Empire, who had already prepared for war, turned a blind eye to Fang Xiaoyu's warning. On April 7, the Cossack Empire fought undeclaredly, and 300,000 troops set out from the Kuli area and began to attack Chita Mansion, the Far East County of the Chinese rule.
The Cossack Empire is separated from the northern subcontinent by the Great Hengduan Mountains, but in the Chita area there is a gap of more than 100 kilometers long. The terrain here is flat, but there are some small hills, which are very suitable for large corps combat. Therefore, the Cossack Empire
The army commander General Romanov decided to use this place as a breakthrough to invade the territory of the Chinese territory.
The troops stationed in Chita area are Xue Boling's 6th Division of the Defense Army. He has only more than 15,000 people in his hands. He is full of confidence in the face of Xue Boling, who is rushing toward the 300,000 Cossack Army. "Teacher Commander, there are so many enemies, we
How to fight?" This is Liu Qun, deputy commander who was transferred from the Iron Blood Army, was asking a question.
Xue Boling smiled and said, "Now we have a convenient railway. I think the young master's army can reach it within five days. What we have to do now is to delay the Cossacks for five days."
Gao Lin, the chief of staff, suggested: "Then I will immediately lead people to strengthen the city defense and dig blockade trenches and trenches."
Xue Boling shook his head and said, "Even if the young master mobilizes all the power in his hand, there will be only one hundred thousand troops at most. If we cannot weaken the Cossack army as much as possible before the young master arrives, even if the main force arrives, it will be a war of attrition. If we want such a war of attrition, we have
The Cossack Empire with millions of troops can afford it, but we can't. Don't forget that there is another Japanese country waiting to avenge us."
Liu Qun and Xue Boling have been working together for a long time, and they are still very convinced by the wise commander. He asked, "What should we do?" Xue Boling smiled and said, "Give up guarding the city, we attack, and go out in the wild with them.
beat."
After hearing Xue Boling's words, Liu Qun on the side exclaimed: "Take the initiative? Just because more than 10,000 of us still take the initiative, what's the difference between looking for death?" Xue Boling smiled and said: "There are not necessarily easy to use for too many people, so it is said that
Victory and defeat depend on one's heart, and it depends on the commander's proper dispatch. You will know after a long time. Go and call all the commanders above the company level in the division for a meeting. I want to arrange a combat plan."
The Sixth Division was very well-organized, with 102 company commanders alone, which did not include the number of logistics troops. With the chief officers at all levels above the battalion commander, the entire conference hall was full of crowds.
Xue Boling saw that everyone was here and stood up and said, "My comrades, I have a news here to announce that the Cossack Empire had invaded our Chinese territory despite international axioms. The current situation is that 300,000 Cossacks are facing the 300,000 Cossacks
We came, we only had 15,000 people. What should we do?"
"Boll them back." "Destroy them." The crowd was in high spirits at the venue, and commanders and fighters at all levels did not retreat because of the large number of enemy soldiers, and expressed their determination one after another.
Xue Boling nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, soldiers should have this kind of momentum to face difficulties, but fighting requires tactical methods, and only if the method is appropriate can you achieve the final victory." After saying that, Xue Boling walked onto the wall
Next to the map, the curtain covering the map was pulled off suddenly, and the military map of the Far East was densely marked with various arrows, which shocked the officers.
Seeing the expressions of the officers, Xue Boling explained in detail: "If we defend the city to the death, we cannot win such a huge war of force, so we must take the initiative to attack, disperse our troops in the combat areas, laying them into dense network strongholds, and the troops must
Cooperate with each other, using ambush, lure, side strike, tail strike, etc. to consume the enemy's strength and morale in segments. Finally, drag the enemy to the decisive battle area and then encircle and annihilate it hard. Only in this way can we do it little by little
The consumption of the enemy creates the best conditions for the decisive battle after the lord's main force arrives. I call this tactic of war ''."
After listening to Xue Boling's careful explanation, the officers below ejaculated. Although they had the determination to fight to the death, they did not have the confidence to win. After hearing Xue Boling's imaginative tactics, they were all excited. No soldier would want to make achievements, since he had it.
If you have such a good opportunity, you should do a good job.
Xue Boling explained in detail the specific implementation methods of the "Tactics of Attrition" to the officers, and handed the task area of each unit to each chief officer who performed the task through a sealed file bag.
After deploying the operational tasks of the infantry units, Xue Boling ordered the artillery and baggage units to stay and defend the city. Other units operated in companies as units. Each company was equipped with weapons. If you think that their troops had physical strength, you could also bring heavy machine guns.
However, each unit must bring at least five days of ammunition and supplies.
In addition to the tactics explained, Xue Boling issued a plan for the company's activity areas and combat tasks to all company-level cadres, so that they could use it as a reference on the battlefield. After intense preparations, the troops ate that night.
After the last hot meal, each company set out from several city gates. They quickly disappeared on the vast plains of the northern subcontinent and headed towards the combat area of the company.
The Far East is vast and sparsely populated. Even if you want to get to the nearest city of Chita from the Kuli area close to the Cossack Empire, it is nearly 600 kilometers away. Admiral Romanov and his army were proud.
He drove towards Chita, but he was attacked as soon as he entered Chita.
These attacks were not the troops of the Sixth Division but the militia of the goblins. Twenty thousand goblins militias were attacking in the distance with old-fashioned single-breech rifles. Since the desert of the northern subcontinent had completely disappeared,
Green trees and grass are already everywhere, which provides convenience for green-skinned goblins.
The goblins were wearing green military uniforms designed by Fang Xiaoyu, wearing grass circles on their heads, and holding rifles camouflaged with twigs and leaves, making it difficult for the Cossack soldiers to discover even when they get close. Using this advantage, the goblin militia succeeded repeatedly, making the Cossack soldiers
There was no way, they could only try their best to expand the search range and move forward slowly and tremblingly. In a full day, the Cossack army only traveled fifteen kilometers, which made General Romanov very angry.
In the evening, the regular army of the Sixth Division finally arrived, and even more large-scale harassment began. Company Commander Wang Qiguang used a telescope to observe the bonfires in the Cossack Army camp, and a smile appeared on his face. He turned his head and said:
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Zheng, you two have the best shooting skills. Try it. If you look for places with fire, you will definitely find a good target."
Two young soldiers nodded, found a comparable shooting position, and raised the rifle in their hands. Under the lights, the Cossacks patrol often passed by, and these shaking figures became the best for the two soldiers.
He squinted his eyes and aimed at the target in the dim light.
Several gunshots suddenly exploded in the quiet night sky, and the Cossacks patrol immediately became a mess. The soldiers looked for cover and shot desperately at the empty darkness around them to cover up the endless fear in their hearts.
A soldier was already lying straight on the ground and stopped moving.
There are many troops like Wang Qiguang's company. Some of them fired black guns, some of them approached the camp to pitch grenades, and some simply used mortars to scatter the camp, making the Cossacks' barracks chaotic.
There is no peace.
When the Cossacks sent a search team out of the camp to find the enemy, the defense army had already retreated. As soon as the search team returned to the camp, the harassment began again. Some of these troops went in the first half of the night and some went in the second half of the night, without a single accurate time.
In short, the defense army had taken turns to rest, but the Cossack soldiers were always frightened by gunfire and explosions. Every time they heard someone attacking the camp, the soldiers always had to gather together to prepare for battle, but every time they were false alarms.
Despite this, no one dared not to fight. After all, if the other party came to attack the camp once, they would be in danger. After countless troubles, most of the Cossack soldiers did not close their eyes all night.
