Just when the logistics convoy arrived in the Dalinol Lake area, the armored motors troops attacking Kulun finally set off from Chifeng.

This assault force is composed of tanks and armored vehicles, with a total of 92 tanks, 52 armored personnel carriers, 24 communication command vehicles, 54 pavilions, 20 trucks, and 3 Mengshi vehicles. A total of 241 various vehicles and more than 3,000 personnel, including about 1,200 combat personnel, more than 900 drivers of the vehicle, more than 700 maintenance personnel, and more than 200 other technicians.

Even in modern society, such an armored force is not small. Commander Chen Jingang was also very excited. He could finally command the armored forces to fight. Although the first battle of the armored forces had been picked up by Wei Li, he was the first commander of the armored forces and the first commander to command the armored forces to carry out long-distance raids. With this, it is enough to be recorded in history.

Of course, Chen Jingang was also a little nervous while excited. First of all, it was his first time to command the army to fight, and he was also a commanding armored force. Therefore, Chen Jingang was certainly a little lacking in confidence. Although he was indeed an armored soldier, he was an amphibious armored force affiliated to the Marine Corps. Although they all used chariots, there was still a big difference between amphibious armored forces and army armored forces. The Bijing amphibious armored forces are used to provide firepower and armored forces for landing on the beach battlefield, while the army uniforms

Unit A is responsible for the attack on the main land battlefields. Secondly, this battle is a long-distance raid. Even in modern society, long-distance raid is one of the most difficult combat modes. There are many variables and unpredictable events. If not done well, it will be a crushing defeat, and even annihilated all the troops are extremely likely. Of course, the definition of long-distance raid in modern society is also very different from this era. The distance from Chifeng to Kulun is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Chifeng to Kulun cannot be considered long-distance.

However, whether it is excitement or nervousness, Chen Jingang could not turn back. Therefore, after completing all the preparations, Chen Jingang also led the armored motorized troops from Chifeng without hesitation to launch the curtain of this long-distance raid, and also bet on his future development prospects. Of course, this long-distance raid still has a considerable chance of winning, and it is not entirely a desperate bet.

Since all of them are motorized troops, although the system of 3-4 hours of driving for 20-30 minutes was implemented, on the first day, the troops drove for more than 12 hours, the effective driving time exceeded 10 hours, the average driving speed reached 27 kilometers, and the total driving speed was more than 280 kilometers throughout the day. In this era, this can be regarded as a miracle. Of course, the march on this day was not perfect. During the driving, a total of 9 cars had various problems. Fortunately, the maintenance personnel worked very well, and the failures of these cars were not big, so they were repaired quickly and did not delay the travel time.

During the night break, the maintenance staff worked very hard. They checked all the vehicles overnight and eliminated more than 50 minor faults in all sizes.

The next day, the troops slowed down, but they also drove more than 250 kilometers, the effective driving time reached more than 9 hours, and the average speed reached more than 26 kilometers per hour, which is also very considerable. During this day, another 12 cars had problems, but it did not cause much impact. In the past two days, the total driving distance exceeded 500 kilometers, completing about 2/5 of the journey.

But on the third day, I encountered trouble. As it rained, the grass quickly became muddy, causing great difficulties for the armored troops to drive. Only the tanks were tracked and were not affected much, while other vehicles would be somewhat troublesome. As a result, over 60 vehicles had wheels and slippages during this day, and the proportion of failures also increased to 21. Two trucks had engines exploded and were completely destroyed. One armored personnel carrier and three pavilions were also seriously damaged and needed to undergo a major repair. It was obviously impossible to repair it in a short period of time.

However, before leaving, Chen Jingang had already expected this situation. Although he had conducted strict tests and adjustments at the factory and during training, and made a lot of guarantee plans, he was constrained by the technical level of this era, so he had a high chance of complete destruction and major failures. In fact, it only happened on the third day, which exceeded Chen Jingang's expectations.

For vehicles that were completely destroyed and had major failures, they could only give up. The soldiers and supplies were transferred to other vehicles, leaving only the driving team and maintenance personnel. Fortunately, the cars with problems were not far apart, so they spent some effort to gather them together, leaving enough maintenance tools, weapons and ammunition, and 15 days of food. They reported their location to Chifeng. Even if they could not be repaired, they could still wait for the arrival of rescue.

Of course, there are certain risks to throw these cars and personnel here. After all, it takes about 5-7 days to arrive from Chifeng. During this period, it is very dangerous to encounter Mongolian troops or grassland wolves. However, fighting itself is a high-risk matter. Therefore, if you encounter it, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

But after such a struggle, although the driving time on this day reached more than 11 hours, the effective driving time was less than 8 hours. Moreover, due to the difficulty of driving caused by heavy rain, the speed can only reach a little more than 20 kilometers per hour. Therefore, it only took less than 160 kilometers on this day, which is far from the previous two days, but it is also an unpredictable factor in long-distance raids.

The situation on the fourth day did not improve, and the rain was even heavier. Therefore, although last night, the maintenance staff provided anti-slip measures for the vehicles, not only replaced the rain tires for all vehicles, but also wrapped iron chains on the tires, but less than 5 hours of driving on that day, five more cars were damaged. Seeing this, Chen Jingang had to order the troops to wait for the journey, and simply stopped to rest and wait for the rain to stop. However, this day, 100 kilometers had not been reached, but due to sufficient time, three of the five damaged vehicles were repaired, which is good news.

The fifth day finally saw a turnaround. The rain began to lighten. At noon, it stopped for a while. Later, it stopped at times, but it was much better than the previous two days. Therefore, at 12 noon, the team set off again, leaving only two irreparable vehicles.

The convoy drove until 7 o'clock in the evening and only took a 20-minute break. Moreover, due to the precautions for the wheels the day before yesterday, not only did the tire slip again, but the driving speed was also increased a little, reaching a speed of 22 kilometers per hour. The total driving of more than 150 kilometers on this day was also a good result.

On the 6th day, the weather finally cleared up again. Although the road was still muddy, the wheels had taken precautions and did not have much impact. Therefore, the troops' travel speed increased a lot. They drove for another 11 hours on this day, and the effective driving time exceeded 9 hours. The average speed reached 23 kilometers per hour, and the total number of driving was about 220 kilometers throughout the day. However, 4 more cars were damaged on this day, and they were still broken in two different places.

However, by this time, the People's Army had already traveled more than 1,150 kilometers, and about 200 kilometers away from Kulun. This is because the assault troops had to detour, so the journey would be about 100 kilometers more. According to the march plan, the assault troops should first arrive in a mountain about 40 kilometers away from Kulun for renovation, and use this place as a temporary outpost for attacking Kulun. In fact, the itinerary tomorrow will be only about 160 kilometers. It can be said that this long-distance raid is in sight.

It was not until this time that Chen Jingang felt a little relieved. After all, he had passed 9 levels of level ten, and only the last level was left. Of course, at this time, the entire army was very tired. Due to the heavy rain for two days, even when camping at night, the soldiers could not set up a tent to sleep and rest, and could only huddle in the car to rest. Such resting effect was naturally greatly reduced.

So Chen Jingang also decided to set off one hour late on the morning of the 7th day so that the soldiers could rest for an extra hour. Although the weather cleared up, the ground was still a little muddy, so only the iron chains on the tires were removed, but the rain tires were not replaced.

The troops set off again. Since the driving pressure on this day was not high, Chen Jingang also deliberately suppressed the speed and limited the speed to about 22-23 kilometers per hour to ensure the status of the vehicle. However, in this way, three cars broke down on this day, but because they were about to reach the target, Chen Jingang also decided to drag the broken three cars together with the large army. He drove this way for about 7 hours. At around 4 pm, he finally reached the first target of this long-distance raid.

The march took a total of 7 days and ran for more than 1,300 kilometers. 13 vehicles were broken in the middle, namely 1 tank, 2 armored personnel carriers, 2 communication command vehicles, 5 paving assist vehicles, and 3 trucks. Among them, 1 tank, 1 armored personnel carrier, and 1 paving assist vehicle was still dragged to the target site, and there is enough time to repair it.

However, given that the 7-day march made the entire army exhausted, and all vehicles had to be fully inspected and reconnaissed. Therefore, Chen Jingang decided to rest for the entire army for one day tomorrow to restore their spirits and physical strength. At the same time, he also asked the cooks to make some good meals tomorrow to make full preparations for the battle to attack Kulun.
