Beiyang 1917

[Text] Chapter [-] Wu Peifu's Blitzkrieg

------------

Li Mingzhong's Ninth Division No.20 Fifth Brigade, the brigade commander is He Weizhen from Yongxin, Jiangxi, and a tiger general recommended by Bai Chongxi. Like Bai Chongxi, he graduated from the third phase of the infantry department of Baoding Military Academy. He stayed at the school and became an instructor. When Wang Geng recruited Bai Chongxi from Guangxi, Xiao Zhuge recommended this classmate who was still working as an instructor in the sixth branch of Baoding Military Academy!

He Weizhen is good at training and being an instructor, with a handsome name and a pungent style. Li Mingzhong's main brigade No. 20 Fifth Brigade was taken care of by this 31-year-old Jiangxi native.After the Ninth Division crossed the border, it wiped out a Tsarist Russian infantry regiment in the Battle of Borja. This is the masterpiece of Brigadier He!

Li Mingzhong won the second largest city in the Transbaikal Krai, Krasnokamensk, for Li Mingzhong. It was the No.20 Sixth Brigade of the Ninth Division of Li Mingzhong. This guy can be regarded as famous, graduated from the second infantry department of Baoding Military Academy, Xiong Shihui from Yi'an, Jiangxi!

This guy was recruited by Li Jishen from the Yunnan Army. At that time, Xiong Shihui was attached to the No. 30 Eighth Regiment of Fang Shengtao's Fourth Division, and joined Wang Geng's teaching regiment of the participating army as a battalion commander. He was then promoted to the chief of staff of the regiment. When the Ninth Division was established, Wang Geng directly transferred him to Qiqihar to become the brigade commander of Li Mingzhong's division!

The brigade commander of the No.20 Seventh Brigade who followed the division's operations and failed to fight was not simple. He was also a Jiangxi native, Liu Zhi from Ji'an, Jiangxi, and a classmate of Xiong Shihui's second-term infantry department in Baoding. This guy is only 26 years old this year!Liu Zhi was born in a peasant family and was raised by his grandfather.Read novels please keep in mind

He was educated in a private school when he was young, and once traveled east to Japan, just when Japan expelled Chinese students and returned to China.After that, he entered Hunan Army Primary School and Wuchang Army Middle School. At the end of 1914, he entered Baoding Military Academy and graduated from the second phase of infantry.After graduating, he went to Guangdong and served as a staff officer under Cen Chunxuan's troops, and then as a company commander under Zhu Peide's troops in the Yunnan Dian Army.

This fellow was drawn by Xiong Shihui to join the army to join the war. Although he was young, he was both wise and courageous. He led the army to fight and used his brains to play tricks, so he was especially favored by the division commander Li Mingzhong. Half a chief of staff!

Therefore, the ninth division of the participating army is Li Mingzhong, a 32-year-old division commander from Henan, and three of his Jiangxi old-fashioned and serious brigade commanders in Baoding Military Academy. Xiong Shihui is only 25 years old, and Liu Zhi is 26 years old. .

The brigade commanders of Wang Geng's model army who participated in the war are generally relatively young. Most of the brigade commanders have an educational background from the Baoding Military Academy or the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy. The ability to come out.

Borja (Russian: Бop3r) is the third largest city in Russia's Transbaikal Krai. It is located along the Borja River (a tributary of the Heilongjiang River), 349 kilometers southeast of the capital Chita. The reason why it is important here is because it is a Siberian The large railway turns from Chita to the first railway hub of the Manzhouli Branch of Dongdong Road, and to the southwest there is a road leading to the northeast of Outer Mongolia. Of course, in 1918, only half of this road was repaired.

To the north of Borja, there is a road leading to Nerchinsk, 200 kilometers to the north, which is also one of the goals of Division Li Mingzhong.

The population of Borja is not large, less than 13000 people. This made the officers and soldiers of the Chinese war troops see what it means to be sparsely populated. In 1918, the population of Siberia could reach [-]. It was a big city. Of course, here In addition to businessmen, the largest number of immigrants were the descendants of political prisoners who stayed in Siberia after being sent to Siberia by the Tsar.

On February 1918, 2, in addition to the rapid advance of the East Route Army and West Route Army on the Eastern Front, Wu Peifu's attack from Kyakhta on the Western Front was also quite smooth.

Wu Peifu's third division of the participating army is considered the first-class main force in the model army participating in the war, and it is on par with Wang Geng's first division. In terms of actual combat experience and suffering, it has to be counted as advancing 600 miles to take down Kulun and leveling the entire army in a week. Sun Liangcheng, head of the 25th Brigade of the 1912rd Division in the main cities and strongholds of Outer Mongolia, the main brigade of the [-]rd Division, Sun Liangcheng, named Liangchen, was born in Jinghai, Tianjin. In [-], he joined Feng Yuxiang's army as a soldier.

In Wang Geng's previous life, this guy was Feng Jun's "Thirteen Taibao", also known as one of the "Five Tiger Generals". Under Wu Peifu's superb use of troops and dispatch, this guy played brilliantly. The entire seventh brigade belonged to me in the first battle. Use the first-class main brigade that I must win.

Wu Peifu's style of attack on the western front was different from that of the east and west armies on the eastern front. This guy combined the divisional wheeled armored regiment of the third division, plus the wheeled armored reconnaissance battalion drawn from the three brigades, and then Together with the Artillery Regiment, Engineer Battalion and Supply Battalion of the Seventh Brigade, a purely mechanized armored brigade was formed and handed over to Sun Liangcheng to take the lead!

The reconnaissance escort for Sun Liangcheng's armored brigade were 2 SE5 fighter squadrons and 3 DH4 reconnaissance bomber squadrons.

The armored brigade organized by Sun Liangcheng temporarily went straight to Gusinovosk, 100 kilometers away to the north, after leaving Kyakta. There was only one battalion of the Tsarist Russian garrison in that small town, and they refused to surrender. , Sun Liangcheng left a wheeled armored company to monitor, and at the same time called for air support to prepare to blow up the opponent.

The armored brigade brigade passed through the town non-stop, and went straight to Ulan-Ude, the main hub station of Lake Baikal on the Trans-Siberian Railway 120 kilometers to the north!

In Siberia, Russia, the aborigines in small towns and settlements no longer have the blood that their ancestors traveled all the way to Siberia to expand their territory. Many of them are lumberjacks and farmers, and many of them are descendants of convicts. The leaflets sowed by the planes of the Chinese army participating in the war have different rhetoric on the shore of Lake Baikal.

In addition to protecting the lives and property of the residents, the reason for sending troops is the old-fashioned "In view of the unstable situation in Soviet Russia, the squadron is here to protect the expatriates on the shore of Lake Baikal!"

The aborigines of this great Siberia may have descendants of Daurs, Mongols, and other nomadic peoples, but the blood of the Han people will never be the majority, but the Russians may be more numerous. The second and third generations of Siberia's successors In addition to knowing that Tsarist Russia is no longer called Tsarist Russia, and the Tsar has been kicked out of power and locked up, what should I do? People thought that the flames of war would burn to their side from China!

It is understandable that Petrograd and Moscow might be occupied by the German devils. After all, didn’t Napoleon also occupy Moscow back then, but who can fight to Siberia?Who would come to this place where the birds don't shit?Except for the trees and forests, the weather is freezing to death. If the weather hadn’t been a little warmer at the end of February, the Chinese would have rushed over for no reason.

Fortunately, from Tsarist Russia to Soviet Russia, the bloodshed from the October Revolution to January, at this moment Admiral Kolchak is planning to establish a new provisional government in Ufa in the Ural region. In fact, in his previous life in March 1, Gore Chak was appointed as the military minister of the provisional government. Of course, in November, this guy will launch a coup to overthrow the provisional government, declare himself the supreme consul, and fight against the new Soviet Russian regime in the west.

Kolchak is considered one of the best generals of Tsarist Russia in this era. Although he was a prisoner in Lushun during the Japanese-Russian War, it did not prevent him from becoming the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. He announced his support for the provisional government, and then went to the United States for two months in exile. After the October Revolution, he pretended to go to Japan and rushed back to China. After the Constituent Assembly was banned, he publicly called for the establishment of a new provisional government to defend the landlords and the people. The sacrosanct private land and property of the bourgeoisie!

Because of this, the minds of the people in Siberia are in a mess. The tenant farmers have a little yearning for the land laws of the Soviet Russian government, but they don't understand, how can they distribute the land of rich peasants and landlords to themselves?Isn't that a robbery?After the share is given to myself, if I have land, will I also be a rich peasant or develop into a landlord?What if the land cultivated by the family is snatched by other landless people? ? ?
