Years of the Republic of China 1913

Cao Kun finally got his wish. Facing Cao Kun who came directly to his door for stalking, intimidation and friendship, Wu Peifu had no choice but to compromise in the end.

As a result, the General Staff made slight adjustments to the reinforcement plan. The original commander-in-chief was replaced by Cao Kun, and Sun Chuanfang was downgraded by half a rank to become Cao Kun's deputy. To keep it temporarily, to put it bluntly, letting him be the commander-in-chief is actually to give him a name, go around the Soviet-Russian battlefield, gild it, and get credit for it.

But even so, Cao Kun was satisfied.Being able to get the title of "national hero" in this war is worth it in his life.As for Sun Chuanfang's reassignment, Wu Peifu could only talk to him in person, and at the same time promised that Cao Kun would only be the commander-in-chief in name, and Sun Chuanfang would basically be responsible for the specific military deployment and operations.He also told him that after the central government decided that after the battle was over, Sun Chuanfang's military rank would be directly awarded the rank of general by the lieutenant general to make up for the loss of his temporary adjustment.

Regarding these, Sun Chuanfang was very angry, and agreed without even thinking about it, and said to Wu Peifu with a smile that Cao Kun, a veteran general, was in the army, and his waist was also a bit stiff. There is no reason to refuse at all.

Sun Chuanfang's knowledge made Wu Peifu finally relieved, and after comforting him a few more words, he asked about the preparations of the troops.Two days later, according to the plan, the reinforcements first arrived in the northeast by railway, then went north via the Middle East Railway, changed stations from Harbin to the west, and entered Russia.Arrive in the Far East, and then go west along the Siberian Railway all the way to the front line.

Although the entire journey is arranged by the military column, it still takes about ten days before and after.Just when China's [-] reinforcements were still on the way, good news came from the front. Serov, who had been defended by the Soviet Red Army for a month and a half, was finally captured by the Chinese and Russian coalition forces.

In fact, Serov's capture was a big victory.It would be better to say that this victory was only half, and the other half was Frunze's active retreat that led to Serov's fall.

As the Western Army Group of the Chinese Legion went all the way north from the south-central to Moscow, it hit the Soviet capital in one breath.Serov's strategic position throughout the war changed.If Moscow cannot defend, the Sino-Russian coalition forces will form a front and back attack on the Serov area.As a result, Serov's hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed.

Although today's Soviets have deployed millions of troops in the Moscow area, except for the nearly [-] main troops, the rest of the combat effectiveness of these troops is almost scum. Not to mention, in terms of equipment, it is not even as good as the regional militia before the war. [

Serov's Frunze Front Army, Ukrainian Front Army, and Belarusian Front Army still have more than 50 soldiers after many days of fighting.These more than 50 troops were tantamount to life-saving straws in Stalin's eyes.As long as Frunze led his army back to aid, there was still a chance for the Moscow campaign to change. Once Moscow was lost, it would be too late.

Frunze deserves to be the best general of the Red Army.Under Stalin's urging, he did not panic, leaving Serov behind and hastily moved to Moscow.Frunze knew that if he did this, not only would he not be able to save Moscow.On the contrary, it will lead to the destruction of the entire army of these hundreds of thousands of troops.

Don't look at Frunze's brilliant fighting in Serov, and his outstanding soldiers almost wiped out the Far East government army.But Furongzhi also clearly saw the gap in strength between the two sides. Without Serov as a barrier, his hundreds of thousands of troops would not be a match for the Chinese in field battles.Therefore, while rescuing Moscow, absolute security in the rear must be ensured.For this reason, the strong man of Frunze broke his wrist, and continued to place the troops of 5 divisions behind Serov as the main force.

Serov's broken troops waited for Frunze to lead the main force to leave and continued to resist for more than ten days. After completing the mission with huge casualties, they began to break through. Except for a very small number of troops that escaped from the encirclement, the rest of the troops were either wiped out or captured. Thus marking the end of the Serov campaign.

After Frunze led the main force to break away from Serov, he did not go west directly to reinforce Moscow. If he did so, he would lead his troops into the arms of the enemy. As a qualified military strategist, he would not make such a mistake. Low level wrong.In order to confuse the Chinese, Frunze divided his troops and transferred them. Except for a small part of the troops, they put on the posture of returning to the army, and the rest of the large troops moved northward, circled from the northern part of Soviet Russia, and then turned southwest to Moscow.

Frunze's trick still had an effect. Although he traveled thousands of kilometers on the road, he was much safer. When he arrived near Kotlas, he learned that the Chinese had already attacked the city of Moscow, and hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up. Speed, to go directly south from the north of Moscow, to reinforce the capital.

The fall of Vladimir, the furious Stalin removed all the positions of commander-in-chief Vasily Konstantinovich Blyuchel, and cast him as a traitor in the party, a coward, and a class enemy hidden in the revolutionary ranks. In prison.Subsequently, Stalin handed over the difficult task of defending Moscow to Dzerzhinsky.

Holding this hot potato in his hands, Dzerzhinsky didn't know whether to be happy or cry. If Stalin had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility in normal times, Dzerzhinsky would have been so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but now The situation, how could Dzerzhinsky have this ability!You must know that catching the reactionaries, carrying out purges, and making small reports are his strengths, but Dzerzhinsky's eyes are completely black when he wants to command troops to fight.

Now, what the entire Soviet is facing is the Chinese devils who are armed to the teeth, rather than the class enemies within the party who are like lambs to be slaughtered.He is not commanding the high-spirited, open-mouthed and closed-mouthed minions of the class, who can convict people by flipping their lips, and then pull people out to shoot the firing squad.With millions of troops, even if the 90 million patchwork recruits are removed, there are still about [-] elite Red Army troops, which Dzerzhinsky cannot command at all with his military capabilities.

Even with Stalin's permission, allowing him to mobilize the assistance of commanders and fighters at all levels within the Red Army, how could the suspicious Dzerzhinsky do this?You must know that from the time before Stalin, Dzerzhinsky's hands were covered with the blood of his comrades, and even the commanders and fighters and ordinary soldiers at all levels in the Red Army died under his Dzerzhinsky orders.Once the recruited person has a double heart and acts badly on the battlefield, won't he die?Dzerzhinsky was not so stupid. In his opinion, the most reliable people were those he had mastered. Only when these minions were by his side could he feel safe.

Stalin's order cannot be disobeyed, and the battle for Moscow must continue.After racking his brains, Dzerzhinsky finally came up with a trick, which is to form a supervisory force with his Cheka as the core, and drive all the troops to fight the enemy tenaciously.Not to mention, this trick really worked on the battlefield. Because Fang Zida considered the impact of using napalm in Moscow, he stopped the use of this weapon in attacking Moscow, so that Moscow's defenders suffered huge casualties. Xia barely held the line of defense.Here, of course, there is the credit of Dzerzhinsky's supervising team.His supervising team does nothing on the front line, just watching the movement of the combat troops. As long as there is a hint of fear or even withdrawal from the commanders and soldiers, the supervising team will immediately execute the field records and deal with these "traitors" on the spot.

To hit is to die, and to retreat is also to die.At least if you die on the battlefield, you still have the title of martyr on your head, and your family will not be implicated. Once discipline is enforced by the supervising team, the whole family in the rear will be ruined.Under this kind of thinking, the troops on the front line exerted 500% of their combat effectiveness, and often a team would pull up until they were all exhausted, and no one would retreat, which made the Chinese army's attack encounter great resistance.

In the case of being unable to attack many positions for a long time, Lu Jianzhang was also a little helpless.Seeing that the victory is coming, the defenders of Moscow are as crazy as they have been beaten, so his plan to take Moscow in a short time can only be delayed.

Because of his good defense, Dzerzhinsky was commended by Stalin. Stalin kindly took time out of his busy schedule to summon Dzerzhinsky, inquire about the situation on the front line, and told him that as long as he continued to persevere, he would wait until Frunze The main force arrived and Moscow was safe.
