Although the Chinese Second Cavalry Army was drained of a lot of backbones by its body, its combat effectiveness was still better than that of the Russian Central Asian Front, which only had more than 200,000 Cossack militias (not all cavalry) and less than 100,000 regular troops (all infantry) left after the formation of the Cavalry Front. The Second Cavalry Army had already defeated the Central Asian Front of Tsarist Russia, which was much weaker. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whether it is economic value or strategic significance, Central Asia is much larger than Siberia, and the reason why Li Hui did not let him stay and operate when Bai Lang's 7th Brigade was crisscrossing Central Asia was that there were insufficient troops at that time and it was difficult to effectively control the vast land of Central Asia; Second, there are ethnic and religious problems in Central Asia that are difficult to solve, and it will take a great deal to digest them without leaving any future troubles, even in peacetime, Li Hui has to hesitate again and again, not to mention that China was still engaged in a three-country war of unprecedented scale in history, where can there be such spare strength?

But now the situation is very different, China has sent more than 500,000 troops to Western Siberia, and has completely wiped out the Russian army in Siberia, which can use most of its forces to pass through Central Asia; What's more, the Russian army has done the wicked for China, and now the population of Central Asia has shrunk greatly, and the difficulty of control has been greatly reduced, and the Chinese army has passed as a savior, and the support will be much higher, and it is no longer impossible to quickly digest this vast and rich land, and the population of Central Asia is only so little, and there are mostly old and weak women and children, no matter how stubborn it is, it is not difficult for Momen to follow the previous practice in the country and completely sweep away the troubles, not to mention the education of the Russian army, Li Hui thinks that they should always learn to be obedient, so that they will not be as stubborn as before, right? If that's the case, it's even easier......

In this case, Li Hui will naturally not let go of the opportunity to swallow this big fat meat, although China has now achieved food and clothing, but considering the rapid growth of Chinese population and the increasing demand for meat among the people, how can there be too much arable land and grassland? The desert area in Central Asia is not small, but because there are two large rivers that can provide irrigation, the development potential of agriculture and animal husbandry is actually very large, and Siberia can only be regarded as a fraction of it!

However, Central Asia is too large, and unlike Siberia, which actually has only one corridor to the south, it will not take a month or two to completely wipe out the remnants of the Russian army, and it will take even longer to establish a solid rule. As for the large-scale two-way migration that must be carried out for long-term considerations, it can only be done after the end of the Three Kingdoms War.

In order to shorten the time as much as possible, the country sent another 200,000 armed herders to Central Asia, and the First Field Army also moved south to help, while the Ural region was handed over to the Fourth Mountain Division, which had been withdrawn from the North American theater, but if it wanted to free up more mobile forces, it would have to wait at least until 1909, so the First Cavalry Army was still on its own, but they did not seem to need much help......

After the First Cavalry Army crossed the Volga, Tsar Nicholas II had no choice but to transfer the Southwestern Front to the strategically important Tsaritsyn (Stalingrad's old name) area, on the one hand, to resist the attack of the First Cavalry Army, and on the other hand, to prevent the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the Caucasus, who have always had an anti-Russian tradition.

But what Tsar Nicholas II did not expect was that the advance of the 1st Cavalry Army would be so fast, and the large forces of the Southwestern Front were still on the march and met their forward troops. The fighting in the movement was extremely advantageous for the cavalry, and the 7th Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Army did not hesitate to attack, and the Russians were defeated, and the scattered "gray cattle" were chased and killed by their enemies, most of whom obediently raised their hands and became prisoners.

According to the previous practice, the prisoners were released after being disarmed, and the 7th Cavalry Brigade also waited for reinforcements from behind, and after having the strength of a cavalry division, they had already dared to launch an attack on the main force of the Southwest Front Army that had hurriedly entered a state of imminent battle.

The Southwest Front is one of the strongest main forces of Tsarist Russia, and Bai Lang has also paid enough attention to it, but he does not know if he does not fight, and he is startled by a fight, Li Hui's speculation has been confirmed, and the Southwest Front has indeed become an empty shelf, with seven or eight hundred thousand troops, but its combat effectiveness, especially the will to fight, is far inferior to the enemy that the First Cavalry Army encountered on the battlefields of West Siberia and the Urals before, the 1st Cavalry Army simply used the captured weapons and ammunition for waste use, and found that the effect was not bad......

There were only a few thousand casualties in total, including the sick, and the First Cavalry Army completely defeated the Tsarist Southwest Front, which was more than ten times its own strength, and Bai Lang finally saw how weak this clay-footed giant was now, and he now fully believed that he could fight Moscow or even St. Petersburg, and he didn't believe that Mao Zi would not sign the alliance under the city at that time!

Although his ambitions were extremely inflated, Bai Lang did not rush to achieve success, he waved his army from Tsaritsyn and continued to sweep all the way south, so that the rule of the Tsarist government in the Caucasus was paralyzed, and the Caucasian tribes, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with the cruel rule of Tsarist Russia, rebelled one after another, killing all the officials and troops sent by Russia to the local area, so that even if the First Cavalry Army left, the tsarist government would have a great time to clean up this mess, and the chaos in the Caucasus could also seduce the old enemy of Maozi in the south, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Maybe they can also be pulled into the anti-Russian chariot......

However, Bai Lang did not have the patience to wait for Turkey to send troops, he took his tiger and wolf division to the northwest and advanced into Ukraine after the dishes were ready, which is the second largest granary of Tsarist Russia (the first is Russian-occupied Poland), as long as the place is turned upside down, I am not afraid that Nicholas II will not send troops south, the cavalry is better at field warfare after all, and after the other two major fronts of Tsarist Russia are transferred out and annihilated, and then go north to Moscow, the chances of victory are undoubtedly greater, and the Ukrainians are actually not so loyal to the Tsarist government!
