On the way of spn's march, Bai Chongxi had a general understanding of the frontline situation through the radio.Opposite the "government" army of the Russian Empire is the Siberian Front of the Soviet Red Army, a newly formed force whose supreme commander is Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevs of the Revolutionary Military Council The predecessor of the Siberian Front was the Caucasus Front, which had three army groups and the Cavalry Army and two infantry divisions directly under the Front Army.The total strength of the Soviet Red Army is about 75, plus the militia and other paramilitary organizations, the total strength of the Soviet Red Army has exceeded [-].

The "government" army of the Russian Empire has a group army of 68 people. Since the Russian Empire's provisional "government" troops are organized in accordance with the formation of the Chinese National Defense Force, the strength of the enemy and us is actually similar, and in terms of equipment However, the Soviet Red Army did not have the upper hand, but it is the Russian Imperial Army that is now at a disadvantage on the battlefield.

There are many reasons for this situation, mainly three points.

One: The commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Army is Tukhachevsky. This is a brave and talented general who is called the "Red" Napoleon by the Red Army. From this point, one can imagine his high level of command.

Two: The commander-in-chief of the "government" army of the Russian Empire is Baron Peter Nikolaevich Wrangel. Although the baron is a soldier, he has also commanded troops in the European battlefield and fought with the Allies. He has certain battlefield experience and command ability.However, compared with Tukhachevsky, his military ability is far from enough. Although his command on the battlefield is well-regulated and he makes big mistakes, compared with his flexible and changeable opponents, his ability to respond is always a beat slower. [

Three: From the perspective of total strength, the Soviet Red Army slightly won, and from the perspective of equipment, the "government" army of the Russian Empire was slightly better.But war depends on people after all, and the Soviet Red Army was under their unique political agitation and fanatical beliefs.Its morale is far higher than that of the soldiers of the "government" army of the Russian Empire, and on the Siberian plains, the Soviet Red Army with a large number of cavalry is far from comparable to the "government" army of the Russian Empire in terms of mobility.

Therefore, from the beginning of the friction between the two sides to the outbreak of the war again, the Soviet Red Army advanced step by step, while the Russian Imperial "government" army retreated steadily.Relying on the old-fashioned desperate resistance on the European battlefield such as trenches, it was only then that the opponent was barely blocked in the eastern Siberian Plain.

As for the commanders at all levels of the Soviet Red Army, Bai Chongxi has obtained a not-so-detailed list from the confidential telegram sent by the General Staff. Chitimoshenko, Joseph Rodionovich Apanashenko, Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, Andrei Vasilyevich Khrulev, Grigoryi Vanovich Kulik and other army and division commanders.

For these unfamiliar names, Bai Chongxi's understanding of them is only on paper, but if someone understands the history of the military development of the Soviet "government" in later generations, they will be able to find that these people will be famous generals in the future, including marshals and generals , Admiral.It is conceivable that compared with the "government" army of the Russian Empire, the opponent's military command ability is stronger.

Bai Chongxi deliberately drove the liaison officer Valentin away. Apart from what he said to Zhang Zhizhong earlier, there was another reason, that is, he was very disapproving of the capabilities of the commander of the "government" army of the Russian Empire.For a talented general, Bai Chongxi simply looked down on the poor performance of his ally, the current frontline commander, His Excellency the Baron.In his view, having more advanced weapons and abundant logistical supplies than the opponent.This battle has turned into the current situation. In the end, the old method used in the European battlefield was used to barely block the opponent.For this result.Bai Chongxi can only say that he is a pig, or an animal slightly smarter than a pig.I don't know what the orthodox "government" of the Russian Empire thought, why would they send such a person as the front-line commander, if Bai Chongxi was in command of the army, he would have beaten the opponent back long ago.

Bai Chongxi was resourceful and often compared himself to Zhuge Liang.When he was in the military academy, he was known as Xiao Zhuge.After several years of battlefield training, his tactical level has improved by leaps and bounds, and from a strategic point of view, he is not inferior to any general in the world.

Holding a horsewhip in his hand, Bai Chongxi drew a virtual circle at the place marked in red on the map. This place is where the battle is at its worst.It is also the main traffic route from the Siberian Plain to the East Siberian Plateau.Today, the two sides are competing around this area, and the Russian Imperial "government" forces are trying to block each other in this area and hold the front line.The Soviet Red Army's response to the "government" army of the Russian Empire was exactly what they wanted. On the one hand, they used attacks to hold back their opponents, and on the other hand, they intended to wipe out the vital forces of the "government" army of the Russian Empire in this area. If the group army is wiped out, it will not only open up the road to the East, but also deal a heavy blow to the Russian Empire's provisional "government".

"The chief of staff introduced the situation just now, and I think everyone has a general understanding. Now, we are only tens of kilometers away from the front line, and it is only a day's journey according to the marching speed of the 78th regiment. Before the official battle, as the regiment commander I want to hear your opinions on how to win this battle."

After finishing speaking, Bai Chongxi looked sharply at the subordinates present, quietly waiting for someone to speak.

"I want to ask a question!" The first person to speak was not Deng Yanda as Bai Chongxi had guessed, but Gu Zhutong, the usually low-key second battalion commander.

Seeing Bai Chongxi nodding slightly, Gu Zhutong stood up and said, "Brother Wen Bai said in the introduction just now that the enemy and us are now confronting each other in trenches. Is this the case?"

Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said: "From the current situation, this is the case, and according to intelligence, this situation has lasted for a full ten days. At the same time, our 78th regiment has sent reconnaissance troops to the front line. There is news coming back..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the tent, and then a second lieutenant rushed in from outside. The officers present recognized him at a glance. This was the cavalry platoon leader of the reconnaissance unit. The reconnaissance has had preliminary results.

After the second lieutenant came in, he first saluted the regimental commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, etc., then strode forward and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over. Zhang Zhizhong was the first to take it, and handed it over to He picked up Bai Chongxi, and at the same time asked the second lieutenant something in a low voice.

A few minutes later, Zhang Zhizhong sent the second lieutenant away, turned around and talked with Bai Chongxi and Cao Wenlian, then cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Everyone, according to the information just received, the situation on the front line is not much different from what we expected. But here, Here and here...." Zhang Zhizhong took a pencil to modify the situation on the map, and then pointed at these three places and said: "Our friendly army, that is, the "government" army of the Russian Empire has won some victories in these three places. , The position advanced about 2 kilometers in the early morning of yesterday.”

"Huh!" Deng Yanda stood up suddenly, walked forward and stared at the map horizontally and vertically, and then asked: "Brother Wen Bai, how many people did the opponent lose? What happened to this victory? Are there any more details?" some information?"

"Hehe, I don't know about this. I have to wait until I get in touch with the front-line commanders to get definite information. However, according to the first-hand information from the scouting force, this victory is not a big one, because the "government" army of the Russian Empire After entering 2 kilometers, I encountered jle resistance from the opponent, and I have not been able to go further from yesterday to today."

"Huh! This is a false defeat!" Deng Yanda said very confidently: "Since it is trench warfare, how can it be so easy to break through? The old Maozi is not like us. If they have a large number of tanks and artillery as assault Power, maybe it is possible. But if you have such power, this battlefield will not be in the current situation. And everyone, don’t you think these three locations are a bit strange in terms of terrain and location? Putting all the troops in these three places, the opponent deliberately shrinks the position frontally, and then mobilizes power to launch a sudden attack from the left and right wings, so this is not the same as sending the troops to the enemy to make dumplings?"

"It makes sense!" After Deng Yanda finished speaking, some officers immediately agreed, because judging from the situation since the start of the war, the Soviet Red Army had the upper hand, but now they were counterattacked by the opponent and lost part of their positions. It's strange.There is no pie that falls in vain. The officers of the 78th regiment are all talented students of the Central Military Academy, so they will not fail to see such obvious loopholes. [

"I don't think so." When most people supported Deng Yanda's opinion, Ye Ting expressed a different opinion.

"Maybe this is a game, but this game is too obvious. Baron Wrangel is a veteran after all, and he is also a general who has experienced the European battlefield. His command level may be mediocre, but judging from the situation since the start of the war until now, This person is still very cautious in command. In our Chinese words, he does not seek merit but seeks success. I think he will not fail to see this situation, and he will not be so stupid as to transfer elite troops to these three places. Fight back with all your strength. After all, the strength of both sides is on the other side. The Soviet military is stronger than ours as a whole. Once the counterattack fails, I don’t think Baron Wrangel can afford the loss, let alone the failure. With the character of Baron Wrangel, he would never do this because of the collapse of the troops and the morale that may be caused in the end!"

"You're not him, how do you know he won't do it? What if he does it?" Deng Yanda asked in disbelief.

"Do you know?" Ye Ting asked suddenly.

"I'm not a fool, how could I be fooled by such an obvious situation!"

"That's it." Ye Ting replied very flatly, and then sat back in his seat. Deng Yanda was choked by his words, and rolled his eyes for a long time without saying anything. (to be continued...)
