The Russian army, which was trained completely according to Ming Dynasty training methods by Ming instructors and even had the same equipment as Ming Dynasty's second-rate troops, was actually defeated by the Chechens.

This news is so exciting!

Two days later, the second telegram arrived.

The Russian army suffered more than 9,800 casualties in this battle, and the two Guards divisions were basically disabled.

The loss of equipment was even more serious. Fortunately, the tractor was abandoned halfway. When the army collapsed, the tractor played an important role.

Not only did they pull back the howitzers, they even dragged back several cartloads of artillery shells.

Russian commander Vatutin committed suicide after defeat, and his body was obtained by the Chechens.

The head was chopped off and hung on a tree to show the Chechens' martial arts.

Nearly a thousand people were captured by the Russian army, and it is said that they met a very tragic end.

Sun Zhijie was not concerned with the casualties of the Russian army. He was concerned about how the Russian army failed.

Geng Jingzhong seemed to know what Sun Zhijie was thinking, and two days later the airship brought a report on the defeat of the Russian army.

The report is very long, more than 20,000 words.

Many of them were dictated by Russian officers and soldiers, and Geng Jingzhong was responsible for sorting them out. It is the most detailed first-hand material!

After Sun Zhijie saw it, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The kind of tactics that the Russian army encountered was indeed something Sun Zhijie had never encountered before.

In the jungles of Southeast Asia, I have encountered similar tactics. However, the savages in Southeast Asia only have blowpipes and bows and arrows.

There are simply no firearms like the Chechens. The asymmetry in weapons gave the Ming army a huge advantage.

But the situation in the Caucasus was different, according to the story of the Russian army's defeat.

The Chechen army at least has well-made rifles and mortars. And there are a lot of landmines!

These are infantry weapons and can be manufactured in many places around the world. It is impossible to ban them, after all, based on intelligence.

Behind the Chechens are the Hebrews!

The rapidly rising Hebrews, with the support of Hebrews all over the world, defeated the old power Austria-Hungary at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Then, continue to advance north.

If not for the strong intervention of the Ming Dynasty, Kiev would already be in the possession of the Hebrews.

With Hebrew support, obtaining these weapons was a piece of cake.

Those anti-aircraft guns that shot down the Ming airship must have been supported by the Hebrews.

Soon, Li Xiao's telegram also arrived.

He also received Geng Jingzhong's report. After reading Geng Jingzhong's report, Li Xiao immediately ordered Sun Zhijie to rush to Uralsk.

If you want to practice, just practice in Uralsk. At the same time, Sun Zhijie's unit will be officially named the First Army of the Ming Expeditionary Force.

After Sun Zhijie received the order, he immediately ordered the troops to go to Uralsk.

When Li Xiao issued the order, he was still in Zhangjiakou.

After returning to the capital, the first thing Li Xiao did was to form the Ming Dynasty's first professional engineering corps.

In fact, each province in the north has its own professional engineering team.

However, these people are all under the jurisdiction of local governments.

Over the years, these people have continued to carry out road construction in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Building bridges, railways, highways, and various infrastructures.

It can be said that these people are the most proficient in road construction in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao found Sun Yuanhua and kept transferring orders. The First Corps of Engineers, headed by the Liaodong Road Construction Team, was quickly established!

Yesterday he was an honest road construction worker in Badajiao. Today he joined the army with honor and became a member of the Liao Army.

The squad leader becomes the platoon leader, the squadron leader becomes the company commander. The group leader naturally becomes the battalion commander.

Anyway, all levels should be done according to the entire army.

Although they became an army, they did not have weapons.

They have forklifts, forklifts, bulldozers, and even grapple machines!

Thanks to the developed industry of the Ming Empire, these things in Li Xiao's mind only need to be drawn and the functions explained.

Jinzhou Scientific Research Institute is always able to quickly turn Li Xiao’s drawings into real objects!

Ming Dynasty's infrastructure construction has continued to improve in recent years, and these large-scale construction machines have played an important role.

The Jinzhou Research Institute is developing an engineering tank that integrates multiple functions.

There are no weapons on the tank, but it can integrate a forklift, a forklift, and a bulldozer into one. It can definitely do the legendary work of building roads over mountains and building bridges over water!

"Commander, these guys have no battlefield experience at all. If they are sent to Chechnya, I'm afraid...!"

"If you don't have battlefield experience, you will get it after just one fight.

When they are constructing, Sun Zhijie will definitely send heavy troops to guard it.

The airport more than ten kilometers away from Uralsk was not damaged last time.

Mainly because the Chechens don't know what the runway is for.

There are planes in the sky and infantry on the ground. All these people have to do is work!

This is also an oversight on my part. If I had thought of this before, I would have formed a professional engineering force long ago, and there would be no need to catch young men like this."

"Commander, in fact, these people have been doing this kind of work. They first started doing this fifteen years ago.

For more than ten years, they have built bridges and roads in Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei.

No matter what kind of terrain, they have seen it.

This is especially true for construction in Liaodong, where there is also frozen land. Sometimes simple roads are built in winter, and these people can do it easily.

I think Chechnya is similar to the Xing'an Mountains.

Since they can build a good highway in the Xing'an Mountains, it should be possible in the Caucasus Mountains as well."

Stewie was the person in charge of establishing the engineering corps, and it seemed that he had put in a lot of effort.

"Hmph! Damn it, let me tell you. Why wait, why should we build the Central Asia Railway?

Let’s just go and destroy Israel and that’s it!

Leave those in the navy to make a living?

If the navy cannot afford it, we will handle it as a division and ensure that everything is done properly." Mr. Ao was very impatient. He had never looked down upon the Chechens.

"Master Ao, don't talk about this anymore. Our Ming Dynasty's army is changing its uniforms. You'd better finish the change.

The battle will definitely be fought, don't doubt it.

If you have so many tanks and armored vehicles in one division, no matter how many ships the navy has, it will want to transport your division thousands of miles away, haha!

It’s difficult!” Li Xiao looked at Master Ao with a smile.

He knew that Mr. Ao really wanted to fight. He was a man who loved war in his heart!

Even if he has no military merit, Mr. Ao will still join the battlefield.

"Brother Xiao is right, we are changing our clothes and the war will be postponed for another two years.

I just finished target shooting in Baicheng and also conducted a combination drill. Damn it, fighting with tanks and armored vehicles is really enjoyable."

Man Ye just conducted a synthesis drill under the command of Baicheng, and the results of the drill shocked him.

The power of armored troops is definitely more powerful than cavalry. And it's not even a little bit more powerful!

What's more, the newly finalized medium tanks have also been installed in Man Ye's army.

The latest medium tank was named the Type 59 tank by Li Xiao.

Just like mg43, no one knows why Mao was given such a name.

The Type 59 tank is equipped with the latest 105mm tank gun, and the body is once again enlarged.

To match it, there will be a larger and more powerful engine.

This will result in heavier armor and more powerful tank guns.

The turret of the Type 59 tank is very interesting. It is a semicircle, like an upside-down egg.

According to calculations, a tank turret with this shape is 30% more bulletproof than vertical armor.

When the shells from the Double 25 anti-aircraft guns were fired, all they could hear was a random "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,"" shell, but they could not penetrate the armor at all.

Even the 88mm cannon commonly used abroad will ricochet when hitting the turret.

Unless bombarded from behind!

For now, the Type 59 tank is undoubtedly the king of land warfare. No opponent can compete with it globally.

A spy network that Luzhu had just cracked was focused on stealing tank secrets.
