"What about the losses of the Soviet troops?"

When the news reached Yang Chao, Yang Chao was extremely surprised, in his opinion, Kolchak's gang was not bad in terms of ability, and under the pressure of the nation's annihilation, they should be able to burst out with a strong will to fight, but he didn't expect to lose so badly.

It's just that if the Soviet army doesn't pay the price, Yang Chao doesn't believe it very much.

"The losses are also devastating. Before Tukhachevsky took over, Budyonny's attacks never took into account the cost of casualties, with 100,000 frontal casualties but more than 200,000 wounded, and the chances of healing these injuries were low. But the bigger loss comes from the disease. At least 500,000 people fell ill during the winter, but these are only our estimates, based on our experience. ”

Zhang Nian replied that it was a battle report from Wang Changping.

The Soviets apparently blocked the non-combat attrition situation, because this kind of thing was more demoralizing than casualties on the battlefield, and people had the courage to fight people, but they often felt powerless when encountering natural diseases that could not be seen or touched.

However, Wang Changping has been stationed in Siberia for 10 years, and he calculated that this ratio is relatively reliable according to the situation of his own army and the equipment level of the Soviet army, and it is estimated that more than 100,000 soldiers will die because of the illness in the cold winter of Siberia.

That is, the direct death of the Soviet army may exceed 500,000 soldiers.

"What about their troops?"

Yang Chao asked again.

Zhang Nian said: "Their strength has not decreased, and according to our reconnaissance situation, they have successively transferred 3 million troops to Siberia. ”

The Soviet army has a regular force of 3 million people, and there is a limited mobilization during the war, so it is not difficult to maintain 3 million people, the most difficult thing is transportation, under the extreme shortage of transportation capacity, Soviet Russia is still moving troops into Siberia, obviously their casualties may be more serious than expected.

"What about deployment?"

"In addition to the deployment of about 2 million people on the front line, nearly a million troops are stationed in batches along the Chelyabinsk and Kurgan-Omsk routes."

Yang Chao nodded, 3 million people is the limit, the railway line from Chelyabinsk to Omsk has always been a single line, and this line will transport so many people if it dies.

It is also necessary to ensure the consumption of basic equipment, even if the Soviet army does not treat its soldiers as human beings compared to the tsar back then, and stuff them into various train wagons like cattle, it is impossible to increase much.

As for the front, 2 million men was already quite risky, and Soviet Russia deployed heavy troops along the railway junctions of Chelyabinsk, Kurgan, and Omsk, not because of the fear of interference by the 300,000 Chinese defense forces stationed in Tyumen in the north.

The 300,000 Chinese garrison is a spear, the Soviet Russian defense force is a shield, the spear only needs a single point to break through, but the shield needs a comprehensive defense, so they need more troops, and it is already a risk to defend against a possible attack of 300,000 people with 1 million people, and they can only strengthen it later, and do not dare to reduce the strength here.

"What about the losses of both sides in this general attack?"

Yang Chao finally asked.

Zhang Nian said: "What Soviet Russia announced itself is that they lost 150,000 troops, eliminated 500,000 Kolchak bandits, and captured 800,000. There is no news yet from Kolchak's side. ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Kolchak's defeat is a sure thing, and it is clear that Tukhachevsky's tactics cannot be as successful as advertised." Eliminate 500,000 and capture 300,000, I'm afraid there is water, and it may be possible to eliminate and capture 400,000, that is to say, the Kolchak group broke through with an army of 100,000. I don't know how many of them can escape back to Irkutsk, and if they break through in the wrong direction, in the ice and snow of Siberia, I am afraid that the future will be worrying. If half of them can escape to Yishi, it will be considered a success. ”

After this great victory, Soviet Russia announced to the world for the first time that they had successfully used the tactics of large-scale encirclement and basically annihilated the Kolchak bandit army, and Tukhachevsky immediately became a famous general in the world's attention, after all, he commanded the largest annihilation war after World War I. His record this time, even on the battlefield of World War I, was very bluffing, and he could be compared with the most successful Ludendorff and Hindenburg.

So just after the end of the battle, Tukhachevsky's tactics have become a case of competition in the military field, but it is a pity that the direction of research in various countries has problems, because the tactics are actually not complicated, they are all evolved from basic tactics such as triangular offensives, and the large-depth tactics mentioned by Tukhachevsky are also very logical for Genghis Khan, but they are just a modern version of the ancient cavalry encirclement tactics, but the cavalry is replaced by modern tank troops.

The French thoughtfully relented in their tactic of replacing the army's cavalry with Renault light tanks; The British, on the other hand, admired the charge of tank clusters, and the Germans did not react, as a defeated country, they were always secretly researching, and they only knew what they had done.

China's military theorists also began to expand tank tactics, and when Yang Chao was president, he vigorously advocated tank tactics and equipped the army with a large number of tanks. However, because of the early time, there was a misunderstanding in China's military theory circles, and they regarded tanks as a fortress of activity in order to provide protection for infantry.

A large-scale tank encirclement tactic has injected a wave of vitality into the tank theory circles around the world, and a group of young tank admirers have begun to use this as an argument to launch a military theory offensive against the traditional stubborn theory.

As the initiator Tukhachevsky, in addition to actively summing up experience, he was also a little distressed, winning is winning, winning is still very beautiful, although the losses are indeed very large, but as an offensive war, it is still smaller than the losses of the defenders, which in itself is a huge tactical victory, throughout any Russian campaign, there are only a handful of people who can achieve such an excellent battle loss ratio this time.

But the consumption is too great, mainly the consumption of equipment, especially the loss of tanks, T26 is reliable, fast, and can drive straight into a rapid breakthrough, but the skin is too brittle, and the thin armor allows many weapons to cause damage to T26, not to mention various types of artillery, even combat anti-rifles can penetrate the armor of T26, so that the tank is paralyzed and scrapped.

So at the end of a campaign, Tukhachevsky again lost more than 300 tanks, and it was no longer possible to launch another large-depth offensive of the same scale. Therefore, while summing up the experience of this battle and submitting it as a military report, Tukhachevsky continued to demand an increase in the number of tanks. As for the army, it will temporarily rest in Novosibirsk and at the same time repair the railway lines along the way, and use Siberia as a starting point for the next campaign.

On the side of the Kolchak group, among the three core figures, Denikin has been on the front line during the war, especially when Tukhachevsky arrived, Denikin, who had been defeated at the hands of Tukhachevsky in the North Caucasus, took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the commander-in-chief of the front, Wrangel continued to guard the capital, and Kolchak was generally responsible.

As a result, Denikin was defeated again, and in the process of breaking out, Kolchak felt that the tide was turning, and after meeting the female tsar, he went back and pulled out a gun and committed suicide, no one knows what he said to the female tsar, and no one knows what the female tsar told him.

As soon as the two major leaders are dead and missing, only one Wrangel is left to clean up the mess.

The mess was too rotten to clean up, losing more than sixty percent of the army, and Irkutsk was able to assemble only 600,000 troops, because they invested most of the elite in Novosibirsk, while in the army of Irkutsk there were 400,000 female soldiers and only 200,000 men, so the most combat-ready troops were only 200,000 people, and they were facing the battle-hardened army of Soviet Russia.

They had no choice but to seek foreign help.

Wrangel was not Kolchak, although he also insisted on the purity of the Russian nation and was a nationalist, but his traditional aristocratic background made him much more peaceful, and he knew how to retreat and compromise.

Wrangel made a decision, and after meeting the female tsar, the female tsar first made a frequent appearance in Irkutsk, visited the army, the logistics hospital, and the arsenal to inspire the people's determination to fight to the end, and then suddenly came to China quietly.

"It's great that you're okay, honey."

The Tsaress Origa came to China secretly, of course, to meet her husband Yang Chao, who hugged her and looked delighted.

Of course Olga is fine, and it can't be okay, Yang Chao is not a real scumbag after all, and he can really put his wife on the weight of sacrifice.

He has always secretly monitored his wife, and once Kolchak and the others jump over the wall to the detriment of the female tsar, the robot lurking under the Baikal Palace will immediately corona everyone, and then transfer Olga to a safe place through a secret passage.

"Honey."

When Oliga saw Yang Chao again, she couldn't speak, just cried vigorously.

"Mom."

Her daughter, Princess Yang Lan Romanova, also cried.

The scene of a family of three hugging each other is still quite emotional.

Yang Chao couldn't help but touch his heart, although he always knew that his wife would not be in danger, but no one could replace the inner torment that his wife endured.

After a warm night, Origa, who was crying and red-eyed, relieved herself, obviously this blow was too big for her, this is still on the basis that she does not fully understand the whole situation, if Wrangel dares to show her the sacrifices in the war, I am afraid that Olga will not have the confidence to persevere.

"Honey, are you still leaving?"

Yang Chao was very surprised, he didn't expect Olga to go back to Siberia, I really don't know how much soup Kolchak and Wrangel poured into her.

"Honey, I must go back, I beg you to help us."

Origa looked sad, both pleading and reluctant, and it was obvious that letting her leave her daughter, who was only 8 years old, was a great torture for her.

Yang Chao sighed: "Okay, I'll go back with you, and the children will go with me, this time, our family of three will go to the national disaster together!" ”

Yang Chao's attitude is very firm! (To be continued.) )
