Beiyang 1917

1918年5月18ri，苏俄和德国签订《苏俄和德奥停战协定》，德国有选择的遣返了80万布尔什维克倾向的俄国战俘，而苏俄方面则遣返了20万德国战俘和50万奥匈等其他同盟国的战俘。

On May 1918th, 5, Poland declared du li and established a republic, which was half a year earlier than in the previous life. Before Poland, Finland and Belarus had already declared du li.

On May 1918, 5, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania declared du li.

On May 1918, 5, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia declared du li.

The wheel of history accelerated again. The successful peace talks between Soviet Russia and Germany made Germany and Austria no longer have to worry about the Eastern Front, while Finland, the three Baltic countries, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia's du li and their overwhelming preference for Germany , Coupled with the strategic retreat of the Bolsheviks in the above-mentioned areas, the strength of the German-Austrian Allies has been greatly improved.

Although the U.S. military continues to increase troops to the French battlefield at a rate of 1 people per day, the Allies have also begun to mobilize the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the east to the west. In terms of combat effectiveness, the battle-hardened division of the U.S. military may not be inferior to the freshly baked U.S. military.

The peace and armistice between Soviet Russia and Germany enabled Germany and Austria to use all their main forces to deal with the Western Front instead of only the main German forces as before. The 20 German prisoners of war and 50 Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war repatriated by Soviet Russia were immediately replenished. Among the German divisions on the western front and the infantry divisions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this alone has wiped out the number of American troops who have been arriving for half a year!

For a while, the atmosphere on the French battlefield on the Western Front became extremely tense between the Allies and the Entente!

On the Eastern Front, Kolchak, the Supreme Consul of Belarus, reluctantly reached an agreement with the Allied Powers. In order to preserve the fire of the Russian people, post-war Russia will no longer retain the Asian part. The 260 million square kilometers of the Great Plains of West Siberia will establish an autonomous local regime under the joint protection of China and Japan, while all the land to the east of Irkutsk and Lake Baikal will be controlled by the Chinese according to the "Sino-Russian Nerchinsk The demarcation at the time of the Treaty completely belongs to China.

Kolchak paid for the Asian part of Russia, and the promise was that the Entente would only recognize Kolchak's regime as the sole legal representative of Russia, and that in the process of Kolchak's regime regaining effective control over the rest of Russia, Give all-round military and economic support. In addition to a large amount of food and arms assistance, China and Japan will, as members of the Allied Powers, send coalition forces to fight west of the Ural Mountains!

By the end of May 1918, the Sino-Japanese Joint Dispatch Army Headquarters was established. Considering that the Chinese and Japanese troops would fight side by side for the first time, and both sides were arrogant soldiers on the front line, no one was convinced. Especially under the strong request of the Japanese cabinet and the Ministry of the Army, Wang Geng, the supervisor of China's participation in the war, chairman of the Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China, and army general Wang Geng stepped onto the stage for the first time to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and Japanese coalition forces for the western expedition!

The Japanese Ministry of Army knows well that there is no possibility of the Chinese participating army being commanded by outsiders. This team has already demonstrated military prestige and morale in military operations in Siberia and the Far East, and in fact it compares with Japan's West Siberia dispatched army It is a shame that at this time, it is a joke for the generals and lieutenant generals of the Japanese Army Department to grab the position of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and Japanese coalition forces.

Who can control the Chinese army and who is the right candidate? Looking at China, who else is there besides the king of China?With him as the commander of the coalition forces, logistics support and ammunition supply are truly foolproof. You must know that the long transportation and logistics line of more than 3000 kilometers will continue to extend as the Chinese and Japanese coalition forces advance westward. Who can bear the responsibility of cutting off the supply to the front line?

As far as China is concerned, although Wang Geng himself does not want to be the commander-in-chief, it is the first time that he has joined hands with the Japanese army, his old enemy, to toss in Lao Maozi's territory. Other than Geng, a rising star in the Allied Powers, I really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Wang Tingzhen have only commanded three brigades. Now they are required to command the Chinese and Japanese coalition forces with a total of several 10 people.How to live in the town?

Let’s say that Sun Liangcheng’s brigade who took back Siberia last time was from the main brigade of the third division. After the last fight, he sent a telegram directly to the headquarters of Nanyuan in Beijing to ask for instructions on the next step, and he just ignored it if there was nothing behind him. The division commander Wu Peifu and the other two brigades were hundreds of miles away.

At the end of May 1918, the recruitment brigade once again reached 8 brigades, plus the remaining 1 brigade last month, a total of 9 brigades of recruits, Wang Geng stationed in Rehe, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Fengtian One or two veteran brigades were transferred from each of the five divisions of the Chinese Communist Party to form the No.20 Fourth Division, No.20 Fifth Division and No.20 Sixth Division of the participating army. All the beautiful machines produced are equipped.

The 9 recruit brigades were added back to the above-mentioned drawn divisions, and the entire army of the participating army was expanded to 26 infantry reorganized divisions plus one armored division, and the total number of the army reached 81.In addition, there are 6000 air teams, including 2000 all-weather pilots, 6000 ground crews, and more than 500 aircraft of various types.

Considering the pressure of logistics, Wang Geng's Sino-Japanese Allied Forces formed only one group army at the beginning. The main force of the Chinese participating army was Wu Peifu's Third Group Army, which governed the participating troops Zhang Weixi's Third Division and Li Mingzhong's Ninth Division And Xiong Shihui's No.20 Division, and Sun Liangcheng's armored division was directly under the command of the Allied Forces Command as a mobile force.

第三集团军原来的赤塔、尼布楚和乌兰乌德三个军分区的防地则交给新编组的No.20四师、No.20五师和No.20六师作为后备队驻防，事实上这新编组的三个师都是老兵，No.20四师师长白崇禧、No.20五师师长孙连仲、No.20六师师长刘汝明！

The Japanese side of the Sino-Japanese Allied Forces also deployed the three divisions originally stationed in Kantung Prefecture, Qingdao, and Taiwan to the eastern part of the West Siberia Plain as a second-line reserve team, while the Seventh, No. 12 and No. [-] of the original West Siberia Expeditionary Army The Fourth Division was organized into the Third Army of the Japanese Army and joined the Chinese and Japanese Allied Forces. Utsunomiya Taro and Wu Peifu respectively served as deputy commanders of the Allied Forces.

Of course, it is not appropriate to call the Sino-Japanese coalition army. In fact, in order to better launch military operations in the Ural region of Russia, Kolchak’s White Guards also formed a Ural cavalry group army to join the Sino-Japanese coalition army. The three cavalry divisions of this group army are nearly 3 people, even the elite division under Kolchak's command, are all from the Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry, and the horse rider is called a slip.

The Soviet Union and Russia joined hands with Germany and Austria, and here the White Guards joined hands with China and Japan. The establishment of the China-Japan-Russia Allied Forces marked that the European War had entered a new stage.

On June 1918, 6, the Sino-Ri-Russian Joint Army Command was formally established in Omsk on the West Siberia Plain, which also marked the beginning of the official transfer of the land east of the Ural Mountains by Kolchak’s Russian regime. The base camp of the Japanese and Russian coalition forces.

In view of the fact that the Japanese occupying forces have never been able to eliminate the guerrillas in the eastern part of the West Siberia Plain, after previous diplomatic consultations and bargaining like a tug-of-war between China and Japan, Japan finally agreed that the West Siberia Plain will refer to the Northern Federation of China before the Russian issue is finally resolved. The management method of the autonomous region is used for management, that is, the land tax is exempted for three years, and the land of rich farmers and landlords exceeding 40 mu per capita will be bought by the government and leased to farmers with no or little land for cultivation.

In addition, the Kolchak government officially announced that the land of the West Siberia Plain will not belong to Russia, and the future of the people on this land will be handed over to a local autonomous government. Before that, China, Japan and Russia will be responsible for the management Of course, in fact, Russia is just filling the scene. As for how China and Japan will be divided in the future, it depends on who is more popular at the time, or who has thicker arms!

The newly established West Siberia Autonomous Government with Omsk as its capital is completely a puppet regime, but the local people really live a good life, free of land tax for three years, bandits and guerrillas are being hunted down by coalition planes all day Chasing ducks in the sky, the Chinese army not only did not grab food, but also transported a large amount of food and commodities. Although the discipline of the Japanese army was poor, the gendarmerie of the Chinese and Japanese coalition was acted by the Chinese army!
