When the four armies of the Russian 20th Army, which were struggling to block the Chinese attack on the east bank of Lake Balkhash, learned that their rear bases had been seized and the army commander captured, they turned around and headed south along their military roads.
The Sixth Armored Division was almost behind them. The entire Russian defense line immediately collapsed under the enemy from both sides. Those gray animals fled their defense line in an orderly manner, and then headed towards them in the freezing cold of more than ten degrees below zero after the snow.
Xi fled in panic.
"Chasing? Why chase in such a cold weather? From here to the west is basically a semi-desert no-man's land. At most, there are only a few Kazakh herdsmen. If hundreds of thousands of people ran in without food or water, why should we do anything?"
"In the headquarters of the Ninth Army in Taldykorgan, Miao Haining insidiously prevented the pursuit of his generals.
In fact, it was exactly as he expected. The four armies totaled more than 120,000 Russian troops. After foolishly plunging into no man's land, within two days they came back staggeringly hungry to find Chinese soldiers and surrendered.
Of course, there were some who continued walking with determination, but soon the cold and hunger turned them into stiff corpses. In the end, there were less than 20,000 people who made it to Akmolinsk, hundreds of kilometers away.
, and every one of them was going crazy with hunger. It is said that their eyes flashed green when they saw a mouse. They left more than 50,000 corpses along the way, and there were also hundreds of Kazakh herdsmen who starved to death after they robbed all their livestock.
The rest were all sent to Chinese prisoner-of-war camps.
The destruction of the Russian 20th Army turned the entire east of the Ural River into a ripe fruit, ready for Emperor Yang to pick at any time. In addition to Irkutsk and Yekaterinburg, there were also some small defenders, and others could
The only people who guarded this land for the tsar were the police in each city. This terrible news immediately made Nicholas of St. Petersburg unable to sit still. He knew very well the consequences of losing this land. Yang Feng seized control of the Far East.
It was nothing to him, it was just a remote place where criminals and poor people were exiled.
But if the Chinese push the front line to the Ural River, it will really threaten the core area of Russia. With the bombing radius of the heavy bombers currently used by China, even the Volga River Basin will soon be involved in the war.
If it were replaced by an airship, he would probably be able to drop the bomb to Moscow. He would never allow such a horrific scene to happen. Especially at this time, the Ottoman and Persian coalition forces were attacking the Caucasus more and more fiercely. A Russian guarding there
The group army and the self-organized Armenians could only rely on the steep terrain of the mountainous area to hold them back. If the Chinese were allowed to advance to the east coast of the Caspian Sea at this time, and then use bombers to support them if they had nothing to do, then the Caucasus front would very likely collapse.
His Majesty the Tsar shuddered at the thought of the Ottoman and Persian coalition troops approaching Tsaritsyn.
In this case, he had no choice but to mobilize troops from Europe. Three entire armies were withdrawn from three battlefields in Poland, Silesia, and Bessarabia, and then loaded onto trains for emergency transportation to the East.
Although Britain and France tried their best to persuade Nicholas to let him go all out to solve Europe first, as for the East, let Yang Feng be rampant first!
But unfortunately this time Nicholas was determined not to be fooled. He knew very well that even if Yang Feng robbed him of Central Asia and Siberia, Britain and France would definitely not continue to fight Yang Feng to the end just to get it back for him. Everyone
They are all smart people. They still have this awareness.
The shrinking of the Russian army means that neither Germany nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer need to worry about the pressure on the Eastern Front. A German group army and an Austro-Hungarian group army simultaneously withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the country to support each other. On the Berlin battlefield, there were still
Good point, even if another group army is added, it is still impossible to gain an advantage in the face of the continuous influx of North American troops. The battle continues among the ruins of Berlin.
But when an Austro-Hungarian group army joined the Hungarian battlefield, the Italians, who had been fighting with the Central Austrian Allied Forces tremblingly, couldn't stand it. The Italians, who were losing their troops under the city of Budapest and unable to move, were attacked from the flank by an angry Austro-Hungarian group army.
They returned with a disastrous defeat and retreated to the city of Vikšfehérvár. At the same time, they urgently asked for help from the British and threatened to withdraw from Hungary if they did not receive support, leaving the US and British coalition forces in the Balkans behind. In this situation
Under the circumstances, the two North American divisions, which had just arrived in Europe and had not even had time to rest, had to give up going to Berlin and instead took a train to Italy to head north for reinforcements.
Just when the entire European war situation was disrupted, the resistance of the Russian army in Vladivostok finally came to an end. After the minesweepers at sea cleared enough safe passages, the huge Beiyang Fleet finally aimed its guns at Vladivostok. As for the Russian Island,
By this time, it had become a scorched earth. During the indiscriminate bombing that lasted for several days, the bombers of the Chinese Army Air Force dropped at least two thousand tons of solid-state bombs on the island, which burned even the rocks to crisp. The Huaxia
The super battleship Yanhuang fired a total of more than 800 380 shells here. As for the Kunlun-class battleships and Hongwu-class battlecruisers, they dumped more than 2,000 280 shells on the island. In the end, almost
There is nothing left to explode.
After learning that the city of Vladivostok had entered the range of naval guns, the Chinese Army, which had occupied most of the city, immediately found the easiest way to fight. As the position coordinates were notified to the warships at sea by radio, they were guided by the aerial calibration aircraft.
Next, one after another 280mm or even 380mm artillery shells roared towards Vladivostok, and then the Russian fortresses blocking the army's advance were instantly reduced to ruins in the explosion, and then the army aviation bombers were called to throw them into the ruins.
After a few coagulation bombs were fired, the infantry stepped on the residual warmth of the ground to clean up any possible remaining enemies. Of course, there could not be any remaining enemies at this time.
This changing fighting method gave Colonel Kolchak, who was trapped in the Governor's Mansion, a deep sense of despair. He no longer wanted to be able to defend Vladivostok, but only wanted the fall of this first fortress in the Far East.
If he can be more dignified, he leads 40,000 Russian troops and 20,000 armed civilians. Needless to say, even if he can make the Chinese pay an army, or if not even a division, he can at least save Russia a little face. But by now
Now even if it is full of water, his men will not cause more than one brigade of casualties to the attackers, and as the battleships at sea join the battle, the casualty ratio of both sides is approaching a figure that is tragic and infuriating.
"Fight and defend the honor of the empire to the death!" He stared with blood-red eyes, brandishing his saber and shouting into the air like a gambler who was about to lose all his money. Because he hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, he was now
My mental state is indeed a bit unstable, and to put it bluntly, I am getting closer to going crazy.
"Colonel, His Excellency the Governor wants to see you." At this time, the second lieutenant responsible for guarding Alexeyev walked up to him and said.
Kolchak frowned. These days, the Governor has never stopped his efforts for peace, or in other words, has never stopped trying to persuade him to surrender. It must be the same today.
"Tell your Excellency the Governor, I don't have time now!" he said with a cold snort.
"Colonel, the Governor said he has another way to solve the current situation." the second lieutenant said.
"What a joke, what else can he do besides surrender?" a staff officer next to Kolchak said with a sneer.
"It's good to listen, what if he really has a way?" the second lieutenant said with a smile.
Kolchak nodded. Although he despised Governor Alexeyev's character and ability, he also knew that this was an old fox in the political arena. There was no guarantee that there would be a way to survive the desperate situation. It was a pity that he didn't.
I noticed that the second lieutenant's smile was rather deep.
The two left the headquarters together and went to the conference room where Alexeyev and the generals were under house arrest. Just as they entered the door, a 380 shell fell nearby. The huge explosion even shattered all the glass on the windows.
Shattered.
"Your Excellency, Governor, what do you want from me?" Kolchak said contemptuously, looking at Alexeyev who was screaming and ducking under the table.
The Governor crawled out from under the table again and quickly regained his former majesty. Under Kolchak's doubtful eyes, he said with the same contemptuous smile as before: "Colonel, you are now arrested for rebellion.
And accept the military court trial for rebellion!"
Kolchak was stunned for a moment, then reacted. When he turned around, he found two rifles with spikes stabbing the chests of the two guards following him, and the second lieutenant responsible for guarding Alexeyev was stabbing the chests of the two guards following him.
Pointed a revolver at his head.
He immediately understood that he had been betrayed and couldn't help but sigh. Then a Major General of the Military Justice Department who was also under house arrest took out his verdict in a serious manner. Of course, it was meaningless to say anything. Anyway, the last sentence was the death penalty and he was to be shot immediately.
Instead, Colonel Kolchak sat down on a chair with a relieved expression, then looked around at the ferocious faces as if looking at a clown, and said to the second lieutenant who was still pointing the gun at him: "Vladimir,
give me a cigarette."
"Colonel, I, I don't want to die here. Your Excellency the Governor promised me that after surrender, he will ask the Emperor of China for me to become a Chinese citizen." The second lieutenant said calmly while taking out a cigarette.
"There is no need to explain, you have the right to make your own choice, and I also made my own choice." Kolchak lit his cigarette and said calmly while smoking.
Next to him, Alexeyev glanced at the second lieutenant impatiently and signaled him to take action quickly. The second lieutenant gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot rang out, Kolchak suddenly looked above his head in confusion.
, but then the bullet penetrated his head. To be continued
