Chapter 878: The Second Far Eastern War

Wang Dali suddenly became a handful of Jing Ke, which caught everyone off guard, and Tan Shaoguang was even more of a head and two big. The Manchurian Army has completed its deployment in Burma, Li Zhi's Nanyang Dispatch Army has been assembled in Chumphon, and the forces of the Lancang Kingdom and Yunnan have also been mobilized. Wang Dali returned to the barracks very calmly, and then handed over his collar badge, cockade and weapon, with a good attitude, but unfortunately to no avail.

Kirilenko, the Russian governor of Eastern Siberia, who was in charge of only one temple street in Xicheng District, lodged the most solemn protest with the Manchurian Empire, demanding that the murderers be executed and that he apologize and pay reparations. Lao Maozi was wild and rude, but they had a lot of bad intentions, and they also saw that Manchuria didn't want to fight on both sides, so they wanted to slaughter the Manchurians ruthlessly. At worst, we must also crack down on the arrogance of the Manchurians in northern Xinjiang. The government of the Manchurian Empire, unable to give an answer for a long time, did not want to fight on two fronts, and did not want the Russians to succeed, but there was only one choice.

Wang Daqiu brought back Alyosha's head, paid tribute to the father and fellow villagers of the Han family's shack, and then seemed to let go of everything, just accompanying Xu Yuan every day. Ryoko couldn't understand Wang Dali's actions at all, and fell into a self-pity mode, she felt that her life was not good, so every husband would be unlucky. A generation of famous ministers Mutsu Zongguang fell to a seppuku end, and the great hero Wang Dali also lost his military position, how can he live in the future! Xu Yuan was good, seeing Alyosha's head, Xu Yuan did not show any panic, but was very happy, and he was much more cheerful.

Wang Dali's three crazy men and women can be slowly entangled, but Changchun's Guoxinga and Tan Shaoguang have to pay for their bloody romance. Wang Dali is a hero set up by Guo Xing'a himself, of course, it is impossible to execute him to make amends to the Russians, but it is a disadvantageous thing to really fight. Fighting on two fronts and fighting on multiple fronts has always been a taboo for soldiers, but Guo Xing knows very well how Napoleon and Hitler played badly, and he definitely does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, but at the moment it is difficult to have a way not to fight.

"The Russian army is poorly equipped and the quality of its soldiers is also very low, although there are quite a few of them, but the strategic location is not good, and we can completely defeat them in a short time. However, Russia's strategic depth is relatively large, and once Russia refuses to negotiate peace, our side must continue to advance, and after occupying a large area of territory, our supply will definitely be difficult. Especially the long winter will be a very negative factor for us! Tan Shaoguang was inclined to fight, but Russia was too big, and Manchuria could not stand a protracted war.

"Will Germany be willing to fight with us?" Tan Shaoguang said that these Guoxinga knew that Napoleon and Hitler both died like this, so he hoped to find an ally to help him share the pressure.

Because of the war in Serbia, Russia has reached the point of saber rattling with Germany and Austria, and the two sides are also deploying millions of troops on the border. Moreover, now that Britain and France are being dragged in East Asia by Manchuria, it is a good opportunity for Germany to concentrate its forces to defeat Russia, the enemy behind it. As long as Russia crosses, Germany will have no worries and can concentrate on fighting with Britain and France in Western Europe. Manchuria and Germany and Austria-Hungary went to war against Russia at the same time, which was definitely a good opportunity for Germany, so Goxinga set his sights on them.

Bismarck and Wilhelm I were very interested in the general's plan to divide Russia into the middle, but they were very concerned about the attitude of England and France. They fear that after declaring war on Russia with us, Britain and France will also declare war on them. Zou Degui had already sent hundreds of telegrams to Bismarck, and he knew very well the attitude of Germany.

"They still want to take advantage of the back! Without us, they can do it alone? "Gohinga is still very narrow-minded, he thinks that the Germans are also Caucasian, so they must also hope that they will be unlucky, and then they will profit from it.

"There must be an idea in this regard, but they also have an idea, that is, after our army has achieved certain results against the Russian army, the Russian army will definitely transfer troops to reinforce the east, and then they will launch a surprise attack on Russia from the west." Germany is not stubborn, they are just a little cautious.

"Damn, don't you just sit back and watch the success or failure!" The Germans wanted to take advantage of him, and Goxinga was very unhappy.

"General, this is actually good news, we don't need any commitment from the Germans, as long as they have this idea. Our war against Russia in the early stage will definitely achieve good results, and the Germans will make some moves, so that the follow-up problem of strategic depth will be solved. Tan Shaoguang felt that it was not bad, even if Germany did not fight, it would be fine, as long as they put some pressure on the Russians, the Manchurian side would be able to get a chance to breathe and negotiate peace.

"Don't think about it, love what's the matter! Let Wang Dali marry that Xu Yuan in the way of an equal wife, vigorously publicize Wang Daqiu's national hatred and family hatred, tear up the "Ximen Armistice Agreement", and start a full-scale war against Russia, I have long seen that they are unhappy! "As he grew older, his energy was declining, and the long meeting made him very uncomfortable, so he gave a very, very simple and crude order.

On May 18, the 11th year of Zhongzheng, the Manchurian Army suddenly tore up the "Ximen Armistice Agreement" without even saying hello, and launched an all-out war against Russia. The Russians were still prepared for the sudden outbreak of war, and on the day the Manchurians went to war, they issued a joint declaration in Moscow with the British and French ministers, declaring war on Manchuria and the Qing Dynasty. However, the preparations of Alexander III and the Tsarist government in St. Petersburg were clearly not the preparations of the Russian army, and the Russian army at the front behaved miserably.

In the face of the sudden attack of 17 divisions, 21 brigades, and nearly 550,000 troops of the Manchurian Army, the 600,000 Russian troops were crushed at the touch of a button, and in less than a month they lost all their territory in the Far East. After the remnants of the Russian army broke and fled to Renham, they temporarily stabilized their positions, not because they had finally found the feeling of war, but because the Manchurians were laying railways step by step, giving them a little respite. Alexander III issued a national mobilization order and urgently sent 300,000 reinforcements to Renham, who wanted to rely on Renham and play the pride of the Slavs, but unfortunately Renham was a huge pit for the Russian army.

By the beginning of July, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Colonel-General Mikhail Ivanovich Dragomirov, discovered a very dangerous situation. The Manchurian Army Group North, commanded by Ji Ying, began to move towards the seemingly meaningless Mangazya, while the Mongol Army Group commanded by Bozhitu was moving towards Omsk. Dragomirov could not judge the intentions of the Manchurian Army for a while, but they instinctively sensed the danger, and in the face of the Manchurian Army's Acton Central Army Group pressing forward step by step, he was unable to divide his forces to block Ji Ying and Bozhtu, so he sent a telegram to St. Petersburg, hoping that the Russian army could let Reynam retreat to the rear.

Dragomirov's idea is very simple, Renham is a bit of a salient and is not very safe, so he wants to retreat to the front line of the Ural Mountains to set up defenses, so that at least it will be safer. But Dragomirov's opinion was sternly rejected by St. Petersburg, Dragomirov's retreat would lead to the loss of territory in Western Siberia, and indeed in the whole of Asia, and Russia would never accept such an outcome, so Dragomirov had to hold on to Rainham, wait for reinforcements, and then launch a counterattack against the cowardly Manchurians. St. Peter also gave his opinion on the movement of the Ji Ying and Bozhitu army groups, believing that the greedy Manchurians only wanted to acquire more land, and that their movement was only aimed at devouring the northern territories and Central Asia.

Dragomirov prayed that St. Peter's judgment was correct, because if St. Petersburg guessed wrong, he himself would be doomed. However, the old men of St. Petersburg did not guess correctly many times, and the two major army groups of Ji Ying and Bozhtu took a terrifying turn. Ji Ying's Army Group North suddenly moved south and quickly occupied Surgut, cutting off the rear route of the Russian army in one fell swoop. Bozhtu's Mongol Army Group was also moving north in Omsk, capturing Tara and Tobolsk, and moving northeastwards in an attempt to join up with Jiying's Army Group North.

Dragomirov had no room for manoeuvre, and he and 700,000 Russian troops were surrounded in the small city of Renham. Acton, commander of Army Group Center of the Manchurian Army, sent a letter of surrender to Dragomirov, hoping that Dagomirov would consider the lives of his soldiers and give up useless resistance. Dragomirov didn't care about the life or death of the animals in gray uniforms, he chose to resist to the end for the honor of his soldiers, he wanted to wait for help, he believed that there was still hope for him. Sure enough, the Manchurian army did not attack him, and Dragomirov still had hope of breaking through. Twenty-three days later, the 1st Panzer Group of the Manchurian Army arrived, and the Manchurian attack began.

On August 12, the 11th year of Zhongzheng, the Battle of Renham officially began, and the Manchurian Army launched a deadly attack on the Russian army with 3,600 tanks, 2,110 aircraft, and 21,000 artillery pieces as the lead. The Russians survived the overwhelming artillery fire and experienced terrible air strikes, but they did not wait for the enemy's charge, because they saw a torrent of steel. The huge gap in technology and equipment has made the Russian army powerless to fight back, and they have become lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield. Eight hours after the battle began, the Manchurian Army broke through the Russian defense line and completed the tactical division of the Russian army's various units. Two days later, Rainham was wiped off the map by the Manchurian Air Force bomber formation, and the remnants of the Russian army had been compressed into four elliptical strips with a circumference of no more than eight kilometers. Eighty-one hours after the start of the battle, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Colonel-General Mikhail Ivanovich Dragomirov, committed suicide by drinking bullets in his underground command post, and the Russian army completely collapsed.

At this point, the Second Far Eastern War, the first phase of the offensive of the Manchurian Army ended. At the cost of 3,700 killed and 6,300 wounded, the Manchurian Army fully occupied Siberia and advanced the front to the Ural Mountains and Central Asia. A total of more than 800,000 Russian troops were annihilated, of which 700,000 Russian troops were annihilated in the Battle of Renham. The Battle of Renham also became the largest siege and annihilation battle in human history in this time and space.
