Years of the Republic of China 1913

Wearing his uniform with his collar stripped off, Zhukov was roughly thrown into a cell by guards.With a bang, the iron prison door was closed tightly behind him.

This is a semi-basement cell, built during the period when Tsarist Russia opened up Siberia, and its history is even older than Zhukov's grandfather, who was an alcoholic.The size of the cell is not large, only about four or five square meters square. Apart from the four walls cut out of rocks and an iron cell door, there is only a small air vent at the top of the innermost part. See the sun slanting from outside.

The place was dark, damp and there was no bed yet. Zhukov went to the corner and straightened the pile of dry straw on the ground, and sat on the floor.He was not as frightened and uneasy as ordinary people, and there was only a touch of sadness and helplessness on his plain face.

"A bunch of idiots! The Soviet will be destroyed by your hands!"

Zhukov secretly sighed that he was ready to sacrifice himself when he broke into the military meeting. Although he was a little surprised that he didn't pull himself out immediately and shoot him, he would never thank those who gave the order to lock himself up Generals.In Zhukov's eyes, these people are all pigs, and their heads are filled with either straw or a pile of dung.Usually, everyone shouted revolutionary slogans with a sanctimonious face, and everyone talked about theories eloquently, but when encountering major events, they were so naive as to be worse than a three-year-old child.The current situation is obvious, the slowdown of the Chinese attack in Krasnoyarks is definitely not as simple as they imagined.According to Zhukov's judgment, the Chinese on the opposite side are accumulating strength, or are making some preparations, waiting for the opportunity of a thunderbolt.And at this time, the headquarters still dreamed of launching a counterattack in Krasnoyarks and even annihilating the enemy, which is really ridiculous.

"Krasnoyarks is finished, the [-] Red Army of Krasnoyarks is finished..."

Zhukov sighed mournfully.According to his judgment, the Chinese will not give them more time, and the terrible attack should be in the past few days.If the gang of gentlemen in the headquarters still face the war with the current defense plan, failure can be said to be inevitable.Although Zhukov did not know how the Chinese attack would start, he was sure that once the attack started, Krasnoyarks would definitely not be able to defend it.

"How's the situation with the troops?"

Krasnoyarks southeast front.Bai Chongxi stood on a high ground and held up his binoculars to look at Krasnoyarks in the distance. A dozen soldiers guarded the surroundings. After a long time, he put down the binoculars and turned around to ask.

"The fuel supply has arrived, and the damaged tanks have almost been repaired." As the chief of staff, Zhang Zhizhong knew the current situation of the troops well, and replied immediately.

"What about the morale of the soldiers?"

Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile: "Needless to say? The fighting has been overwhelming. Except for some casualties of the infantry division, our entire First Armor has hardly suffered any losses. All the departments below are clamoring to attack Krasnoyarks in one go. Woolen cloth."

Bai Chongxi also showed a smile. From the beginning of the war to the present, he can be said to be in high spirits. As the tip of the spear, the First Armored Division entered the vast Russian territory like no one. In just a few days, he drove straight for hundreds of kilometers. The tone hit the city of Krasnoyarkes.Looking at Krasnoyarks not far to the northwest, Bai Chongxi was well aware of the importance of winning Krasnoyarks to the overall situation of the war, and this was also the main reason why the General Staff and the Frontline Command suspended .

Krasnoyarks is an important hub in south-central Russia, and taking Krasnoyarks will completely open the way to Moscow.at the same time.To the north of Krasnoyarks is Tyumen, whether for war requirements or political reasons.The oil fields in Tyumen are extremely important to China.Holding Tyumen in his hands will enable the squadron to have a reliable logistics base.

Now, as long as Krasnoyarks is occupied, it will be a matter of course to take Tyumen.Moreover, the loss of these two places also completely cut off the Siberian Railway and cut off the retreat of the newly formed Frunze East Front Army formed by Soviet Russia, making the initiative of the war situation firmly in the hands of the Chinese side.

The suspension of the attack on Krasnoyarks was precisely for this reason.Although Bai Chongxi is sure to use his [-]st Armored Division as the vanguard to rush into Krasnoyarks at the fastest speed and destroy the Red Army units guarding here, he also knows that if he does so, he will win tactically , but from a strategic point of view, the gains outweigh the losses.

And now.The squadron deliberately slowed down the attack under the city of Krasnoyarks, giving the enemy an illusion, thus mobilizing the Soviet Red Army to mobilize troops from various places to gather here in order to keep Krasnoyarks, and gave it to China On the one hand, it is an excellent opportunity to wipe out the Soviet Red Army's vital forces in the entire Krasnoyarks area in one fell swoop.Moreover, the Soviet Russia assembled in Krasnoyarks and put on a decisive battle with their own side, which led to the emptiness behind them, especially the lack of guards in Tyumen and other places, and prevented the Soviets from jumping over the wall to destroy the oil fields in Tyumen. and the Trans-Siberian Railway.

As long as the opponent on the opposite side is completely defeated and most of the enemy is wiped out, it is impossible for the Soviet side to react, and there is not so much time to resettle and destroy the Tyumen Oilfield and the Siberian Railway and highway network, so as to give subsequent strategic deployment with great convenience.

"Go! Back to the headquarters!"

Greeting Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi quickly returned to the headquarters. Not long after they came back, the frontline headquarters sent a telegram, telling them that the temporary airport in the rear had been completed, and the rested air force was ready. New attacks on Krasnoyarks can be launched from anywhere.

After receiving the telegram from the general headquarters, the First Armored Division immediately began to prepare for the attack. The Air Force and the infantry units were cooperating with the First Armored Division to launch the attack at the same time. It was Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhizhong who commanded the 101st and 102nd Divisions of the infantry group. Seniors, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui.

After the Battle of Jiaodong, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui continued to lead troops in Shandong. Last year, the troops were transferred to Inner Mongolia by Wu Peifu to form the 101st Division and the 12th Division, serving as the division commanders of these two divisions.Unlike the armored divisions, these two divisions are infantry divisions, but their equipment is much stronger than that of ordinary reorganized divisions.The entire division uses newly developed weapons in China. The rifles have been replaced by new semi-automatic rifles from imitation Russian rifles. At the same time, they are equipped with some submachine guns and trial assault rifles.In addition, in addition to basic equipment, the troops are also equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery and self-propelled artillery, and have a battalion of small motorized units. It can be said that the 101st and 102nd divisions are the current infantry divisions of the Chinese National Defense Forces. As a model for motorized and mechanized infantry divisions, in this war, the 101st and 102nd divisions were placed in the Mongolian Army Group and partnered with the [-]st Armored Division in order to test the situation of these two units in actual combat.

Although Bai Chongxi thought highly of himself, and made great achievements during the same period of the military academy, he served as the supreme commander of China's first armored force.But he is very polite to Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui. First, they are his seniors. Second, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui have made their mark under Fang Zida since the Eighth Division. They fought Zhang Xun with Wu Peifu and fought against the Japanese. , and once served as a member of the military observation team on the European battlefield, no matter the combat achievements and qualifications are not inferior to Bai Chongxi, and even slightly better.For this reason, in order to ensure the coordinated operations of the three parties, Bai Chongxi personally visited the headquarters of the 101st Division and the 102nd Division, and discussed the combat plan with each other separately.

In the middle of the third night after Zhukov was thrown into prison, Zhukov, who was sleeping drowsily against the cold wall, suddenly woke up, with a strange expression on his face, and he tilted his head, wondering what What, after a while, he stood up abruptly, put his ear against the wall and listened carefully, his brows furrowed tighter the more he listened.

"Come on! Come on!"

One minute later, Zhukov rushed to the cell door and slammed on the door, shouting loudly.

"People! Come on! I want to see Comrade Loginovsky! I have an important military report! Come on!"

The rattling sound echoed underground, and a guard appeared a few minutes later, cursing.

"What are you doing? You didn't honestly reflect on your problems and shouted loudly in the middle of the night. Do you know the nature of this? You are deliberately destroying the rest of the revolutionary soldiers! Disrupting the normal work and rest system of our army is creating opportunities for the enemy. This is an act of counterrevolution...!"

"Shut up! You idiot!" Hearing the other party's revolutionary remarks, Zhukov's face flushed with anger, and he yelled to startle the other party.

"you you you……."

"Report to Comrade Loginovsky immediately! The enemy is about to attack! Let him immediately prepare for defense!"

"You counter-revolutionary! Traitor! What nonsense are you talking about? Attack? Where is the attack? Who told you? And Comrade Loginovsky? Who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications? I'm bah!" Zhukov The guard who was yelling at him pointed at him angrily and cursed at him.

"Hurry up and report! Time is running out! Hurry up and report!" Zhukov, who was holding on to the iron bars, his eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "You idiot, didn't you hear the gunshots outside stop? It is obvious that the enemy is preparing for a full-scale attack, and the attack is about to start, and the enemy will launch a fierce attack on us at dawn, and if we don’t prepare, it will be too late! Hurry! Report quickly!"

"Report! Report your size!" The guard was furious. He pulled out the stick hanging from his waist and lashed at Zhukov. His head was bleeding, but he still couldn't stop him from yelling.

"You counter-revolutionary, what nonsense are you talking about! I will let you talk nonsense again, and I will let you report again!" Once, twice, three times... Zhukov was beaten with a wooden stick until his face was covered in blood. He fell down softly, but he still couldn't stop saying those words just now, but his voice became lower and lower...lower and lower....

(Happy New Year everyone! Happy New Year of the Horse! And thank you book friends for your concern. Today, my mother is fine. I basically spent this Spring Festival this year in the hospital. Fortunately, everything happened by the way and nothing happened!) (To be completed continued..)
