433 August 15th (the leader of the linaaa1985 brothers
After the Foreign Legion entered Russia, small-scale battles were fought no less than a hundred times, but not a single large-scale battle occurred.
The Moscow Bolsheviks were still quite afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Foreign Legion. They wanted to defeat Denikin's troops first, and then fight head-on with the Foreign Legion.
The people in charge of the four divisions of the Foreign Legion are Liu Zizheng and Griev. Each of them leads two divisions. They have been at each other's horns since entering Russia. They have always maintained a distance of about 20 kilometers and kept pushing northward. It is not too much.
Far away, but not too close.
The two wings of the Foreign Legion were divided into three divisions of the South Russian Armed Forces, which were under Denikin and were mainly composed of former Black Sea Fleet officers and men, Don Cossacks, Don Cossacks, and anti-Bolshevik patriots from the Ukrainian military districts in the Caucasus.
In the current Russia, whether it is the Bolsheviks or the Provisional Government, they all believe that they are the patriots and the other party is the traitor. This is not said out of propaganda considerations, but these officers and soldiers really think so.
Although Denikin's troops had undergone Allied-style training for a period of time and were equipped with weapons supported by the Allied Powers, in the eyes of the Foreign Legion, they were still a bunch of rabble, and their combat effectiveness was very limited.
Fortunately, Denikin's generals were quite self-aware, and they had no intention of competing for battlefield dominance. They just led their troops to cooperate with the foreign legions in combat, neither advancing rashly nor retreating, and keeping pace with the foreign legions.
In this way, although Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian's progress is not fast, they are better than being steady. Although their advancement is not very efficient, it is quite orderly.
At the same time as Denikin launched his offensive, Yudenich of Estonia and Kolchak of Omsk were also marching towards Moscow. They were trying to capture Moscow, the heart of Russia, and completely strangle the new Russian Bolsheviks.
Faced with enemies attacking from several fronts, the Bolsheviks adopted a delaying plan against the South Russian armed forces on the southern front and the Provisional Government on the eastern front, trying to slow down the speed of the attacks on these two fronts, while concentrating their forces against Yudenich on the western front, hoping to
Defeat this route first, and then deal with the southern and eastern fronts.
Well, it would be better to cut off one of the ten fingers. The Bolsheviks made no strategic mistakes.
Liu Zizheng and Griev discovered the Bolsheviks' intentions, so they actively communicated with Denikin, hoping to speed up the attack and capture Moscow as soon as possible to end the war.
Yes, in the opinion of Liu Zizheng and Griev, the combat effectiveness of these Russian troops is not very strong. If they speed up, the Foreign Legion is fully capable of capturing Moscow before the Bolsheviks defeat Yudenich.
But in the face of Liu Zizheng and Greif's enthusiasm, Denikin's response was a bit ambiguous.
Denikin insisted on attacking Moscow at the current pace, trying to avoid unnecessary losses caused by underestimating the enemy's rash advance.
Liu Zizheng and Griev were not stupid, they immediately understood what Denikin meant.
Denikin was killing someone with a borrowed knife, allowing Yudenich to be defeated by the Bolsheviks' concentrated superior forces, and then Denikin and Kolchak went to pick the plump peach of Moscow.
From this point of view, if the Bolsheviks defeated Yudenich and continued to deal with Kolchak, then maybe Denikin would not adopt the plan of Liu Zizheng and Griev and continue to maintain the posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
If Denikin really planned this, then Liu Zizheng and Greif would have to be prepared that if the Foreign Legion was besieged by the superior strength of the Bolsheviks, no one would come to rescue them.
Because if the Bolsheviks defeated Yudenich and turned against Denikin, Kolchak might not come to his aid.
Yes, the Russians are so ruthless. The most extreme thing they did was that the front lines were still fighting, but the rear areas were purging suspicious officers with combat experience.
If someone is just suspicious, they will be imprisoned and then shot on the spot without any trial. The number of people may even reach tens of thousands.
This kind of behavior is really beyond evaluation.
Seeing that the Provisional Government had not yet defeated the Bolsheviks, but there were signs of internal strife over the distribution after victory. Liu Zizheng and Greif could only move forward step by step, acting as horns for each other, because in addition to the four divisions of the Foreign Legion, Liu Zizheng and
Greif can no longer trust any so-called friendly forces.
I am really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Even though they deliberately slowed down their pace, by mid-May, the front line of the Foreign Legion still advanced to Omuir.
It is only 300 kilometers away from Moscow.
Arriving here, we have entered the heart of Russia. Even though we have not yet encountered the main force of the Bolsheviks, there are more and more various guerrillas and volunteers. The Foreign Legion sometimes encounters more than ten small-scale attacks a day. This
Greatly slowed down the advancement of the Foreign Legion.
If the original speed was that of a turtle, then the current speed is that of a snail.
In fact, if the fight was relaxed, the Foreign Legion could reach Moscow within a week.
Starting from entering Russia, the terrain here is an endless plain. Moscow is located in the middle of the Eastern European Plain. There are no mountains or large rivers between Omuir and Moscow, which is very suitable for the advancement of large-scale mechanized troops.
The Foreign Legion has a large number of tanks. If Liu Zizheng and Greif are determined, their troops can advance fifty kilometers a day without any problem.
And the current speed
Well, Liu Zizheng has been in a small village called Geerke for three full days.
In these three days, the troops only advanced five kilometers, and the headquarters simply did not move.
But the scout troops are different. They don't have any restrictions. For example, the team led by Liu Shuangxi has already reached the vicinity of Cherny in their forward reconnaissance, which is a full 80 kilometers away from Omuir.
Oh, it's 80 kilometers north of Omuir.
80 kilometers north from here, there is a river called the Oka River. This river has abundant water and is now in the spring flood season. We have scouted along the river and found that there is only one iron bridge about 70 to 80 kilometers away for our tanks to pass.
If the bridge cannot be controlled as early as possible, it is difficult to say whether the Russians will destroy it, so our task this time is to seize the bridge and control it until our tank troops arrive. Liu Shuangxi introduced it to Chen Yongsheng as he walked.
Having only been on the road for less than an hour, Chen Yongsheng already understood why Liu Shuangxi and the others were qualified to wear these clothes. Chen Yongsheng thought that they had carried a lot of things, but compared with the scouts, they were still nothing.
The backpacks worn by the scouts were almost as tall as a person, and they were bulging with stuff. It didn't look like they were bedding, but supplies of ammunition for various tools.
Even with a load far exceeding Chen Yongsheng's, these soldiers in camouflage uniforms still looked quite relaxed, and they even had the strength to send out top soldiers.
In just one hour, Chen Yongsheng's men were already panting. Many of them even staggered a little, looking very embarrassed.
Even so, the scouts had no intention of helping.
Chen Yongsheng understood those scouts. The scouts might still have some strength left, but they should be reserved to deal with enemies that might appear at any time, and they should not be wasted on unnecessary consumption.
Well, if Chen Yongsheng's troops can't even keep up with the march, then helping them is indeed a waste of time.
In this case, should we first ask for help? Chen Yongsheng cannot understand Liu Shuangxi's way of thinking.
There is no need to ask for instructions. We find that combat opportunities do not need to be reported. We can decide the time and method of launching an attack by ourselves. After Liu Shuangxi explained, he looked at Chen Yongsheng and frowned slightly: If you feel inappropriate, you can lead your people back now. In fact,
You don't have many combat missions. You are mainly responsible for subsequent defense. If there are enemy reinforcements, we will be responsible for sniping.
We men will not do that thing when we go back. We will have a big scar on our head because we are afraid of a ball. Chen Yongsheng is determined.
Okay, the credit this time is yours. Liu Shuangxi is generous.
That won't work, it's inappropriate. Chen Yongsheng declined.
You're welcome, we have enough credit for this. Liu Shuangxi's words can make people choke to death.
I'm fucked
Chen Yongsheng almost cursed out loud.
Did you hear that Lord Qin has returned to Lanfang and is preparing for the enthronement ceremony on August 15th? You don’t want to go back and witness it with your own eyes. Liu Shuangxi doesn’t seem to care.
Damn it, Chen Yongsheng blurted it out this time.
Real money is so real, but based on our progress, there is hope that we can go back on August 15th next year. Liu Shuangxi himself has a little girl.
Among the current Foreign Legion, only Qin Zhiyuan and Liu Shuangxi have been awarded the Grand Cross Knight. Therefore, Liu Shuangxi's status in the Foreign Legion is very special. Even though Liu Shuangxi is still a sergeant major, Liu Shuangxi also has and
Liu Zizheng, Ge Lifu and others have equal qualifications.
The rapid advance of the foreign legion had long made Liu Shuangxi disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Shuangxi may not have the ability to determine the pace of this war, but Liu Shuangxi has a way to speed up the pace.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, we must capture Moscow before August 15th, so we can go back to Lanfang. Chen Yongsheng was so anxious that he didn't care about hiding his whereabouts, so he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
August 15th is October 8th. If we take into account the long journey and travel, then we must at least return to Lanfang in early August. Even if we only wait until mid-August, we will not be able to make it. Liu Shuangxi did not forget the conversion between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar.
, reminding Chen Yongsheng to have a greater sense of urgency.
Fuck, come on, come on, come on, this time there is no need for Liu Shuangxi to urge you, Chen Yongsheng is more anxious than anyone else.
Yes, Qin Zhiyuan is indeed preparing to ascend the throne on August 15th.
