Years of the Republic of China 1913

Krasnoyarks, located at the intersection of the Yenisei River and the Siberian Railway, is a transportation hub in south-central Russia and is the largest city in the region.

4100 kilometers west of Krasnoyarks is Moscow. Since Tsarist Russia established a fortress there in 1628, it became the capital of Yenisei County in 1823. The Siberian Railway opened in 1896. With the development of industry and commerce and the rapid increase in population, Kras Snowy Arkes became the most important city and transportation hub in the region.

In the early hours of March 3, the Chinese National Defense Forces launched a sudden attack in Northwest China and Mongolia. The troops on the front line of the border collapsed in just a few hours. The Soviet Red Army lost all front-line fortifications that day. They were defeated.

The troops on the front line were either annihilated or captured. Before an army stationed in Krasnoyarks had time to react, the Chinese rushed forward with lightning speed and soon hit Krasnoyar Kerks area.

When the Chinese army was 30 kilometers away from Krasnoyarks, the Soviet Red Army hurriedly organized a defense, using terrain and strong fortresses to block the Chinese attack.At this time, various surrounding troops also successively sent reinforcements to Krasnoyarks. By the afternoon of March 3, Krasnoyarks had gathered about 15 defenders.

The interim Supreme Commander is the Krasnoyarks garrison commander and the commander of the [-]th Army, Loginovsky. After receiving the news of the defeat on the front line, Loginovsky wanted to organize troops to fight back , But I didn't expect the Chinese to come so fast. When he just organized the troops, the Chinese forward arrived.For the sake of conservatism, Loginovsky deployed defenses to the south of the Anlaga River and the east of Krasnoyarks, using the fortresses of Tsarist Russia as the key points of defense.Get ready to deal a head-on blow to your enemies.

Loginovsky was a senior commander of the old Tsarist Russian army during the European War. Before the revolution broke out, he joined the Bolshevik Party. After the revolution, he successively served as division commander, division political commissar, deputy commander, and army commander.It can be said that Loginovsky still has some tactical ability, otherwise he would not have been appointed by the Revolutionary Military Council as the garrison commander of Krasnoyarks and the commander of the [-]th Army.

But all the defensive preparations he made were arranged according to the experience in European wars, and this kind of defense is no longer applicable under today's three-dimensional strikes.The defeat of the frontline troops also proved this point.However, due to the lack of information, Loginovsky did not understand what happened on the front line, but, like most people, believed that the defeat on the front line was due to the betrayal of the traitors and the sneak attack of the Chinese.With the help of heavy troops and strong fortresses, coupled with the help of natural terrain, it is absolutely no problem to defend Krasnoyarks, and Loginovsky is very confident about this.

And the fact is the same. In the two days from March 3th to 15th, several attacks by the Chinese were blocked.Every position was fought with vigor and vitality, and the casualties of the troops were not large, and everything was changing for the better.This gave Loginovsky even more confidence. He even sent a telegram to Moscow, promising to hold back the main force of the Chinese in Krasnoyarks and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.When the time comes to launch a sudden counterattack, it should be no problem to completely defeat the enemy.

Loginovsky's good mood also reassured the senior officers.A few days of fighting made them calm down from the initial panic, and felt that the enemy was not that powerful.The ability of the Red Army can completely block the opponent.To wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

For a while, this feeling filled the entire garrison, but one person didn't think so. Instead of being happy, he was worried.This person is a young staff officer of the [-]th Army, his name is Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov.

Different from everyone's judgment.Zhukov believes that the current stalemate in Krasnoyarks is absolutely abnormal. If the Chinese's attack power is only this, then even if a traitor betrays, it is impossible to cause the troops on the front line of the border to collapse in such a short period of time. Annihilated by the enemy.

What's more, after two days of observation, Zhukov found that the enemy on the opposite side did not do their best when attacking the defensive position with infantry.Compared with the casualties of one's own side, the casualties of the other side are much smaller, which means that the Chinese attack is just an illusion, and its purpose is likely to paralyze the other side, and there is something behind it.

In this regard, Zhukov judged that the Chinese have not really invested their full strength at present, or that their terrifying attack power has not really been displayed. If they are confused by the current performance of the Chinese, then the next battle will suffer a lot. of.Especially in an important area like Krasnoyarks, once it falls, the consequences will be disastrous.

The more he pondered, the more he felt that this was possible. Zhukov suggested to the chief of staff to adjust the line of defense and be prepared to retreat at any time. At the same time, he set up bombs at key points on the Yenisei River and the Siberian Railway to ensure that if the situation changed, he could completely destroy the Krakow. Snoyarks' land and water transportation to prevent the enemy's attempt to use land and water tools to enter the hinterland of Russia.

The chief of staff dismissed Zhukov's suggestion at all. He believed that this young man in his 20s was completely whimsical.You must know that the heroic Red Army has firmly blocked the enemy. The next most important thing is to consider how to hold back the enemy's main force and wait for the arrival of reinforcements to launch a counterattack.

Zhukov's suggestions are not practical at all, and are completely full of capitulationism and escapeism.In order to save a young man, the chief of staff not only did not accept Zhukov's suggestion, but instead gave him a severe reprimand.

After touching his nose, Zhukov not only did not give up the idea of ​​speaking, but on the contrary provoked him to take a stronger step.A few hours after he was reprimanded by the chief of staff, he broke into the military meeting hosted by Loginovsky himself. After rushing into the meeting room, Zhukov stated his views on the current battle situation in front of the stunned generals. The Supreme Commander Loginovsky was required to immediately adjust his tactics in order to be fully prepared.

Before he finished speaking, the chief of staff, whose face was distorted in anger, called out to the guards, pointed at Zhukov and arrested him.Subsequently, all members of the military council unanimously passed the disposition of this daring young officer, that is, temporarily imprisoning him for disturbing the morale of the army and ignoring his superiors, pending a formal trial after the war.
