A team of revolutionaries, overthrowing the tsar's rule, quickly entered the hinterland of Kazakhstan, and defended Orenburg, this matter, earth-shattering like a thunder, quickly spread from Orenburg to all directions, even now, because of the decline of the tsar's power, can not fully control the Central Asian countries, especially Kazakhstan such a huge region, but no one dares to challenge this authority, is the sky changing.

For the aristocrats of Central Asia, Russia is an absolutely remote place in this part of Central Asia, as long as Russia gives enough manpower and a part of the taxes here, but since 1911, there have been changes, Russia and China in the first war near Chita, almost completely defeated, a large number of sons, there is no way to return, and then the tsar made a comeback, wanting revenge, the result is still not much change, this time Russia is still defeated, even because of this failure, lost all of Siberia.

Siberia has little to do with Kazakhstan, but Siberia was occupied, which caused the status quo of Kazakhstan being surrounded in form, and the aristocracy of Kazakhstan was very frightened at that time, and China's greed for land was simply shocking, and about 1.5 million square kilometers of land in Kazakhstan should be a piece of fat for China.

What they can do is to rely on the barrenness of the land, and most of the places bordering Xinjiang in China are deserts and deserts, but it seems that after China took Siberia, it also began to cross the national border, but it didn't go far before it stopped, which made these nobles at a loss, and then carefully analyzed the territory occupied by China, some well-informed and somewhat understanding of history, suddenly understood, this is clearly the territory occupied by Russia from China with the help of unequal treaties, and now, It was taken back by the Chinese.

Now the nobles are relieved, China's strength is obvious to all, even Russia is not the opponent of the Chinese, let alone their local forces, since the purpose of the Chinese is only to get the original land, and the barren land that he wants to come to cannot fall into his eyes. Now Russia has been greatly weakened, originally with the help of the Trans-Siberian Railway to control Central Asia, and even a branch line has been planned, which is ready to pass through Kazakhstan, go to Persia, and enter the territory of Turkey, but this plan has always been on paper, and now it is even worse, without the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia's control of Kazakhstan will pass through the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, which is the focus of competition between Russia and the Allies, all of a sudden, It was as if the opportunity was right in front of the Kazakhs.

The ambitions that had been extinguished began to stir up, first to isolate Orenburg, so that the intentions of the Russian rulers could not be separated from Orenburg within 50 kilometers, and then to fight for power, they all wanted to unify Kazakhstan and establish a real Kazakhstan state.

However, the local forces are the local forces, in the absence of external forces, they can only obtain weapons from the defenders of Orenburg through smuggling and bribery, in just a few years, the results are not small, the three major forces each have about 20,000 people, but compared with the regular army is far behind, in this case, there is actually a group of Russians, under the banner of revolution, surrounded Orenburg, what do they want to do.

Where exactly did this part of the people come from, this is the object of the aristocracy's doubts, they have not wondered whether it will be the Chinese, using the revolution as an excuse to occupy the land of Kazakhstan, but according to the intelligence, these are standard whites, and even some have obvious Cossack and Eastern European origin.

Chinese are yellow races, some are very similar to the races of Kazakhstan, if under the banner of these races, it is possible to be Chinese, but it is obvious that Cossacks and Eastern Europe look, this is Russian, why should they revolution?

It is this kind of doubt that makes these local nobles not dare to act rashly, the other party is dealing with the Russian government army, not their local forces, it seems that the Russians themselves are inside, why should they muddy the waters, or look at the situation.

In this way, Stalin's adventure was achieved, although there were 300 kilometers, almost no roads, and heavy weapons were brought in, including the 1st Bolshevik Division, at least 30% of the heavy weapons were laid, but more than 150 artillery pieces of more than 100 mm were concentrated under the city of Orenburg, which was enough for Orenburg, which was only the largest city in Kazakhstan.

Stalin stood on a hill in the west of the city, this is a small peak less than 280 meters high, Stalin didn't even know, this peak, Stalin didn't even know the name, this is not important to him, but he can observe Orenburg 8 kilometers away, Orenburg has some artillery fire, but at most it is only 75 guns, among the several participating countries in World War I, Russia's equipment can't even be compared with Austria-Hungary, Austria-Hungary has a Škoda factory, It can produce 14-inch naval guns, what does Russia have, although battleships have been built, but they have not produced artillery, most of the army's artillery is imported.

At the top of the mountain, 150 guns of more than 100 mm are arranged separately, the strongest is arranged at the peak, 8 kilometers, which is enough for the artillery above 100 mm to have enough range and lethality, because of the cavalry siege, the civilians of Orenburg have long run away, for these people, the cavalry does not block, but does a good job of checking to prevent the weapons from leaving, even ordinary soldiers, if they lay down their weapons, they also let people leave.

In just 10 days, Orenburg went from 120,000 to less than 40,000, most of whom were soldiers, and a small half were family members and others who were lucky enough to stay.

There are only less than 40,000 people, which is nothing for the Bolsheviks, more than half of them are soldiers, and they can attack, this time, not only will they use more than 150 guns of 100 mm, but they will also use close to 700 guns of less than 100 mm and a large number of mortars, a total of 150,000 people, and 100,000 people here, which is not much worse than the population of Orenburg.

The Russian defenders regretted it a little, because they did not wait for reinforcements, and the cavalry of the other side did not attack the city, but waited until the two infantry divisions arrived, and then they put on a posture, looking at the other party's equipment, it was really strong, a large number of machine guns and artillery, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to hold the city.

However, it is not his style to run away without a fight, graduated from the army school, even if he has always been a garrison officer, Chekhov still has some insistence in his heart, he must defend this battle.

3 flares, hitting the sky, red flares, even in the daytime, are quite eye-catching, Chekhov knew very well that the attack had begun, and ordered most of the people to stay in the bunkers, while he wanted to see how these so-called revolutionaries attacked, and he expected that the scene of thousands of people rushing frantically did not appear, but was replaced by screams.

Chekhov was stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility, although this possibility is very ridiculous, but there is nothing else that can explain all this, the other side actually has heavy artillery, and it is definitely 100 mm, or even more than 150 mm, the troops equipped with such artillery, even in the Russian army, are also first-class existence, but I didn't expect that in this border of Central Asia, he encountered it.

If he said that under his feet, a city like St. Petersburg, he was confident that he would defend the city, Orenburg was just a small city on the border, the circumference of the entire city was less than 3 kilometers, and even the city walls would not exceed 3.5 meters high.

Chekhov also hoped that the opponent's heavy artillery would not be too much, but it backfired, 150 guns, plus nearly 700 ordinary infantry guns of various sizes, 1500 mortars, poured a lot of artillery fire on the city wall every minute, about 15 minutes later, a section of the city wall collapsed, but Stalin never attacked, he ordered the artillery to be prepared for up to an hour and a half.

An hour and a half later, close to 2,200 artillery pieces, a total of 5 base artillery shots, a small city like Orenburg, simply could not withstand such a fierce attack, the 17,000 people who were on the front line of the city wall were barely alive, the city wall was completely demolished, and even more than 2,000 houses near the city wall were destroyed.

Before the Bolshevik army could continue the attack, the survivors inside came out with white flags, and after an hour and a half of artillery fire, the largest city in Kazakhstan and the symbol of Russian rule, Orenburg fell, which also marked the fate of Kazakhstan and embarked on another path.

Among the defenders, Chekhov was seriously wounded in the shelling, but survived, and in the end only more than 7,000 of the 22,000 defenders survived, and even among the civilians of Orenburg, 7,000 were killed or wounded. (To be continued.) )
