Years of the Republic of China 1913

On the night when the 78th Regiment arrived, the command headquarters of the Russian Imperial Government Army was brightly lit, and the division commanders on the front line gathered here. The supreme commander, Baron Peter Nikolaevich Wrangel, was mobilizing for combat, and Stanislavsky At the same time, the general arranges the combat tasks in an orderly manner.

On the opposite side of them, the headquarters of the Soviet Red Army was not idle. The commander of the Siberian Front, Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky, stood in his headquarters with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a map of the enemy's situation densely drawn with arrows.

"Comrade Timoshenko, what is the enemy doing?" Tukhachevsky asked the deputy commander Timoshenko behind him after standing silently in front of the map for a long time.

"Just like a few days ago, the White Bandit Army did nothing."

"It seems that our plan is about to change." Tukhachevsky sighed softly. At the beginning, he ordered the frontline soldiers to retreat from three places. The opportunity to advance is to close the door and beat the dog, defeating the frontal enemy in one fell swoop.Who would have thought that the opponent was so cunning that he was already advancing, but he stopped after only 2 kilometers ahead, and did not go any further.On the contrary, a new line of defense was organized on the spot, which led to the complicated situation of the military forces of both sides in the current battle, which made Tukhachevsky very helpless.

But Tukhachevsky is an excellent commander after all, and he was prepared for possible failure when implementing this plan.Since the other party did not fall into the trap, then Siberia will have to deal with it in another way. After all, the longer the time goes on, the greater the change. Tonight, Tukhachevsky felt that it was time for a change.

"Pass me the order!" Tukhachevsky's deep voice sounded, and Timoshenko quickly signaled to the combat staff next to him to start recording: "The Third Army is ready for combat and will launch an attack in the central direction at six o'clock tomorrow. The cavalry army and the fifth infantry division detoured from both sides, and cooperated with the third army to attack in coordination. They must break through the frontal enemy front at noon. At the same time, the first and second armies used the most resolute and brave forces after the battle began Cut off the flanks of the enemy's front line, and then join the first army, and go straight..."

The words were just half spoken.Suddenly a staff officer broke in, shouting excitedly and anxiously: "Bai... There is something wrong with the Bai bandits!"

"What's the situation! Hurry up! Tell me!" Hearing the report, Tukhachevsky hurriedly turned around and asked eagerly.

It seemed that he came to the headquarters from the front line in one breath. The young staff officer was panting for a while and was so tired that he couldn't even speak. Timoshenko quickly poured him a glass of water, and the staff officer took a few gulps of water to calm down. Only then did I report it.

According to the staff report, just an hour ago.The Russian Imperial government forces in the opposing position suddenly made a very unusual move. Judging from the usual combat situation, both sides used cannons to attack the opposing position at night, and almost all the soldiers stayed in the trenches for defense.But today, the position of the Russian Imperial government army seemed a bit lively, people coming and going seemed to be mobilizing troops. In order to find out what the enemy was doing, the frontline commander specially sent a small team to scout in the dark.But before he could touch the distance of 100 meters from the opponent, he was shot back by a burst of machine guns that were more violent than during the day.

Knowing the situation, the front line did not dare to assert without authorization.He hurriedly reported to the forward headquarters. After learning the news, the staff officer personally went to the front line to verify it, and rushed back when the situation was confirmed.

"In the middle of the night... is this white dog going to retreat or attack?" Brother Timoshen was taken aback by hearing this, and couldn't help but guess.Even Tukhachevsky was a little surprised, and quickly asked the staff to mark the specific location of the opponent's weird behavior on the map.

"Isn't this the central area in front of you? Could it be...?" After the staff marked the location.Tukhachevsky and Timoshenko looked at each other. Just a few minutes ago, Tukhachevsky decided to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in this area tomorrow, but the situation suddenly changed. Did the enemy know in advance? Their plan doesn't work?

This is of course impossible.The Soviet Red Army is a people's army, how could it be possible to get into the eyes and ears of the white bandits?What's more, Tukhachevsky had just decided on the next day's battle. Unless the enemy could know Tukhachevsky's thoughts in advance, otherwise it would be impossible for this to happen.If this assumption is not true, then there is only one result, that is, the enemy finally can't hold back and plans to act.

"Is the opponent going to attack? Or retreat?" This choice turned in Tukhachevsky's mind, and he quickly chose the former.Because it is unlikely that the Imperial Russian government forces will retreat with such a big fanfare. On the contrary, they will retreat quietly in the most low-key way.And the current intelligence shows that the enemy is dispatching troops, which means that the opponent is likely to be the same as the one I chose just now. In order to break the balance of the battlefield, he is planning to attack himself.

As Tukhachevsky guessed, Timoshenko also thought of this possibility.The two chatted in low voices for a while, and when they were sure that this possibility was very high, they couldn't help but smile.

"Comrade Commander, I thought the white bandits would always be a shrinking turtle, but they couldn't hold back any longer." Timoshenko said with a chuckle.

Tukhachevsky's mood was much better than before, and he also smiled authentically: "Yes, if they have been hiding and not attacking, we can only break the deadlock with a frontal attack, but even so, the casualties of the troops It will be a big number, but now it is different, attack...haha! I wish they would attack quickly, as long as they attack, we are sure to bite the fast meat on the enemy's body, and wait until they fall into the When the trap, the attack fails, and the entire front falters, it is our chance to launch a full-scale counterattack!"

"Yes! Comrade Commander! The end of the White Bandits is coming soon. As long as this resistance force is completely wiped out, the Tsarist Russian puppet government in the Far East will no longer have mobile forces to use. At that time, our Siberian army will drive straight in. I am afraid it will not take a few months. All the enemy-occupied areas will be liberated and the reactionaries will be completely eliminated!" Timoshenko flushed with excitement and waved his arms excitedly.

Liberating all of Russia, eradicating the reactionaries, and establishing an ideal Soviet Republic are their lifelong ideals and goals.Seeing that this goal is about to be achieved, it is hard to restrain my heart.

The situation on the front line has changed, and of course the original combat plan can no longer be used. Tukhachevsky immediately decided to change the plan and readjust his tactics.Half an hour later, a new combat order was sent out from the headquarters to all units.With the issuance of this order, the various departments of the Red Army also took action immediately. Every front-line Red Army commander was so excited when he received the order, because they knew that the final victory was coming soon.

The long night will eventually pass. When the sun of the next day quietly jumped out of the horizon, tens of thousands of soldiers on the side of the Russian Imperial Government Army were ready to go.

Just after six o'clock in the morning, the artillery in the rear followed a burst of orders, and thousands of cannons began to roar at the same time, and the raindrops of shells flew over the trenches with a whistling sound, and slammed into the Red Army's position.

The orange flames, the splashing shrapnel and the black soil, as well as the rumbling sound that shook the ground, for a while the Red Army position was completely covered by artillery fire, and from time to time, as the shells fell, some flesh and blood that had been blown into pieces flew into the air... …

A few minutes after the Russian Imperial Army launched the shelling, the Red Army's cannons also began to roar one after another. The bombardment lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped.

"Russian warriors! For the empire! For the empress! Go!"

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the Russian imperial government army, which had been prepared for a long time, jumped out of the trench at the command of the front commander, and rushed forward with weapons in hand.Amidst the sound of "Ulla" resounding through the sky, the soldiers of the Russian Empire in gray uniforms rushed forward like waves.

The positions of the two sides are about 500 meters apart. Although there are barriers such as barbed wire between them, under the most intense shelling since the start of the war, these barbed wires have been unable to stop the soldiers from charging.In just over a minute, the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Government Army rushed to a place only tens of meters away from the opponent's position. At this time, the Red Army, which was dazed by the shelling, remembered to resist.

Although the Red Army's will to resist is not weak, their resistance is not as strong as imagined.Except for the sudden sound of a few machine guns that caused some trouble to the charging soldiers, when most of the soldiers rushed to the trenches, many Red Army soldiers had just had time to escape from the bunkers that avoided the shelling.

With just one charge, the Russian Imperial Government Army entered the opponent's trench, and then the two sides fought fiercely in the trench.It is undeniable that the fighting will of the Red Army soldiers is much stronger than that of the Russian Imperial Army. When they could not find weapons for a while, some young Red Army soldiers grabbed a piece of wood and even fought the enemy with both hands.However, the Red Army quickly fell into a disadvantage, whether it was superior weapons or a comparison of military strength. With most of the trenches captured, the Red Army, which had lost its hiding place, inevitably began to collapse.Ten minutes later, the Red Army, unable to block the opponent's footsteps, began to "shift backward" under the command of the commander. At 07:30 in the morning, except for some areas, there were still sporadic battles. The Red Army's positions were all occupied by the Russian Imperial Government Army capture. (To be continued..)
