467: Civil unrest in Russia
The Russian attack was quickly repulsed, although they had come infinitely close to breaking through the defense line of the 606th Regiment, but it was just a breath of relief, after the support of the 4th Battalion arrived, a large amount of heavy firepower was also put into the battle, and the number of Russian casualties began to increase dramatically.

First of all, the Russian troops on both flanks could not withstand the defensive firepower, and the four battalions were divided into two, from both sides to support the battle on the periphery, and easily repelled the Russian attack, and then, the first battalion and the fourth battalion joined forces and began to carry out a fierce counterattack on the Russian army in front.
After the two battalions were combined into one, it not only meant that the firepower of the first battalion for frontal defense was tripled, but also the shock brought by the fifty general-purpose machine guns, the rate of fire was faster than the Maxim heavy machine gun, and at the same time it was more flexible than the Maxim heavy machine gun.
It was precisely because these fifty general-purpose machine guns were put into the battlefield that the Russian offensive failed more quickly.
The battlefield is like this, sometimes when the battle situation has reached a certain level, the battle situation is often beyond the control of one side, even if you have a good countermeasure, it is still difficult to play at this time. The Russian army gathered about 10,000 troops in one day to besiege the 606th Regiment, in terms of troops, they were three times that of the 606th Regiment, but the firepower and other aspects were inferior to the 606th Regiment, plus they were already short of supplies, and the soldiers were hungry on the battlefield, so it was naturally impossible to exert all their combat effectiveness at this time.
And the Russian military top brass also ignored one point, that is, the war has been fought for so long, the Russian army has already become a mourning soldier, if the Royal Army is desperate to attack them at this time, and wants to completely annihilate them, then the Russian army may burst out with unimaginable potential.
But the Royal Army did not take the initiative to attack them, and the Russian soldiers were worried more about how to survive than how to capture the enemy's position, they were thinking about how to get supplies, rather than the kind of battle where many people died and could not grab any supplies, which in their opinion, was completely an act of sending them to death.
The grassroots of the Russian army has already had an ideological rift with the top level, and the top level wants to fight, want to regain Russia's momentum and face, so as to take back the initiative in some battlefields. They were right, but they ignored the soldiers, and now the soldiers didn't want to fight anymore, just by the number of deserters.
Because of the ideological rift between the upper and lower levels, the Russian army has caused them to miss the best opportunity for a counteroffensive, and Russia itself does not have the ability to counterattack, so the result of this battle is actually very clear now.
The Chinese Empire is constantly investing in new equipment, and every investment in equipment will bring a devastating blow to the Russian army, which is simply not what the Russian army's existing equipment and will can resist, and Russia under the leadership of the tsar is far less than the kind of cohesion condensed by the later Soviet Union.
Of course, there is another reason why Russia missed the best opportunity for a counteroffensive, and that is the instability of the Russian regime.
As the Sino-Russian war dragged on, two different voices formed in Russia, one was the main war faction, who preferred to use the war to teach the Chinese a lesson and make them honest, and these people mainly felt that the recent support agreement signed by Russia between France and Britain could help them win.
On the other hand, the armistice faction was the main faction, and they felt that they should send people to negotiate with the Chinese Empire, saying that as long as the two sides agreed to an armistice, then Russia could return the land that had been previously cleared and occupied intact, so as to win the opportunity for Russia to develop.
Although this war did not completely destroy the war potential of the Russians, it really scared the Russians a lot, and made them fully aware of the big gap between Russia and other countries. Of course, it was not only Russia that was frightened, but also other powers.
In addition to these two voices, there is actually another voice in private, these people are mainly dissatisfied with the Tsar, thinking that Russia under the Tsar's rule is not developing for the better, and after being stimulated by the outside, these people have begun to plot to overthrow Tsar Nicholas II.
At the same time, Lenin, who was in exile for the second time, was secretly preparing for the return of the Bolsheviks to Russia to organize an armed uprising. But because of the difficulty, Lenin's plan was not very smooth, at least so far there are still many problems, no money, no guns, no people, this is the biggest problem that Lenin encountered.
And all these reasons converge to make it impossible for Moscow to deal with the fighting on the front line with all its might, and the only consequence of this distraction is that the Russian troops on the front line are becoming more and more passive, the losses are getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is becoming more and more out of their control.
Zhongjing, after receiving the news, Wang Sirui also immediately summoned Wang Shizhen and several other staff members, and he always felt that something big was going to happen in the near future.
The Russian army's sneak attack on the front-line garrison is actually not a big deal, although it was not only a unit of the 606th Regiment that was sneak attacked, in fact, that night, there were 17 garrisons that were attacked by the Russian army alone, but none of the Russian army's sneak attacks were successful, and they just left in a hurry after leaving thousands of corpses and hundreds of casualties of the Royal Army.
"For some reason, our intelligence department is not able to determine whether these seventeen sneak attacks were organized and premeditated sneak attack plans. However, according to the intelligence information we have in advance and the plan of the Russian army's sneak attack, it is inferred that the Russian army should be short of supplies on a large scale, so they have to sneak attack our station, hoping to get the materials they urgently need from us. Ma Sanru said simply, when he learned the news that there were 17 stations on the front line that were attacked a few hours ago, he was also surprised, but there was no way, the intelligence force of his intelligence department on the Russian front line was too weak, and this was his own flaw, which belonged to the lack of hardware facilities, and could not be made up for in a short period of time.
"Since the defeat of the Novosibirsk campaign, the Russian army has lost a lot of supplies there, and these materials have allowed our front-line troops to solve their living needs for three months, so the lack of supplies for the Russian army is obviously obvious, but so much time has passed, through tonight's events, it gives us a false impression of suspicion, that is, the current Russian army still has not solved this problem.
But there is another suspicion in this, our special forces will only destroy the railway within 200 kilometers of the front line troops at most, and if Russia really wants to do it, then it will not be a problem to rely on the railway to ensure the supplies of the front line troops. Moreover, the front-line troops reported that the Russians were not very dense trains, but at least five or six trains were seen entering the station every day. If two of these trains that enter the station every day are transporting daily necessities that the Russian army urgently needs, then it is impossible for the Russian army to face this problem.
Therefore, now the Russian army gives us an illusion that they have been receiving a steady stream of supplies, but these materials are not living materials. And judging from the frequent initiative of the Russian army, this speculation also seems reasonable, but does Moscow really think so? Xu Shichang wondered.
Regarding this issue, because of the lack of intelligence corroboration, Xu Shichang also struggled with it for a long time, and he couldn't figure out what the Russians were thinking in their heads? Knowing that the most lacking thing on the front line is food and winter materials, will he be desperate to transport ammunition to the front line at this time?
It's hard to understand, but if it were them, the December order had proven itself, and the Chinese Empire's choice was to halt the advance of its troops and hold on to reinforcements, rather than rush out and fight the enemy.
"What if there is instability in Moscow?" Yang Shiqi, who had been staying aside and never spoke, suddenly spoke.
He's been thinking about what Russia has been doing lately. However, everything shown on the battlefield is not something that a great power should do, and after thinking about it, the only conclusion may be that there is a problem within the enemy, but what exactly is the problem, Yang Shiqi has not yet known.
It may be that there is also a shortage of food and winter supplies in Russia, or it may be that the front-line troops are concealing the situation of the war, and Moscow does not know that what is really lacking on the front line is actually all kinds of materials. It could be something else, but everything is possible.
Listening to Yang Shiqi's reminder, Wang Sirui was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously thought that in history, Tsarist Russia was destroyed in World War I, and the reason for the collapse of Tsarist Russia was the outbreak of various domestic contradictions, and the root cause of the contradictions was because Tsarist Russia rashly decided to participate in the war, which led to heavy losses on the front line, which aroused the contradictions of all parties, so that the Bolsheviks led by Lenin seized the opportunity.
Originally, Wang Sirui didn't plan to think about it this way, after all, there are still nine years before the fall of Tsarist Russia, but Wang Sirui ignored one point, that is, the current history has been changed and is completely different from the history in his memory.
The current Sino-Russian war has produced no less effect than the impact on Russia during the First World War, so it is not impossible to have an impact on Russia with the defeat of the front. If Moscow is distracted from other factors and cannot concentrate on the war, then it all makes sense.
Now that the Bolsheviks have been formed and the first armed uprising led by Lenin has failed, will Lenin advance the second armed uprising in this situation?
There's nothing in this world that won't happen, if you dare to think about it.
"Perhaps, Tsarist Russia is about to fall......" Wang Sirui said in a light tone. (To be continued.) )
