Chapter 911: Soul 'Chaos'

In the choking soot and the sonorous sound of machinery. A fully loaded wagon slowly drove into the railway station and stopped on the platform, and then, amid the shouts of the officers and the kicking of leather boots, the soldiers hurried to the platform, opened the 'doors' of the carriages that were not even sealed, and removed all kinds of materials from the carriages, from rifles and ammunition to military uniforms and military caps, almost all the materials used at the front line could be seen in these carriages, and these materials were not divided. When the soldiers moved the materials from the carriage to the platform, they didn't even look at the number of goods on the carriage, and whatever they caught was what they were, and then moved to the platform, and piled up together in a 'chaotic' manner.

Everything seems so disorderly, which is perhaps the best portrayal of the front line of the Russian Civil War now, far more intuitive and cruel than the sensational reports of the military reporters, here, for all the soldiers. Soul chaos is the only thing that accompanies them, and they are even more familiar than the comrades around them.

This railway station is actually just a very small railway station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, because there is a lumberyard run by an aristocrat nearby, so when the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, the nobleman set up this railway station here to facilitate the transportation of timber, otherwise, in terms of the location here, there may not be a railway station at all, so now this place will not become the front-line command of the Russian Provisional Government.

As the spirit of the Russian Civil War' Another true portrayal of the chaotic situation is that the supreme military commander who is now commanding the republican troops in this front command is not an army general, but a vice admiral, but for security reasons, the lieutenant general himself did not personally rush to the front headquarters, but sent an adjutant as a liaison officer, relying on a telephone line to remotely direct the entire front battle, and from the morning, this telephone line was busy, because according to the order from Petrograd, Mr. Lieutenant General had to conquer the port of Baikal, the temporary capital of the tsarist government, within five days, so from the dawn of the day, the cannon fire from the east began to sound, and it was now nine o'clock in the morningThe battle had reached a critical juncture, and it was said that the lines of the tsarist army had wavered. With a little more effort, you will be able to break through the first line of positions of the tsarist army.

The key is whether the artillery can suppress the firepower of the tsarist army with fierce artillery fire, and it is precisely for this reason that the military station from the rear is transporting shells to this railway station, but due to the 'chaotic' situation in the rear, in addition to the shells, there are many inexplicable things that rushed to this railway station with the military train.

"This is really a civil war with the most chaotic soul, and it is clear that apolitical fǔism can find a home in the current Russia more than any other ism."

Standing in the dispatch room of the railway station, a lieutenant colonel in a British Army uniform made the above exclamation.

The British Army Lieutenant Colonel's name is Francis, half French ancestry, although the ostensible identity is a military attache of the British Embassy in Russia, but his real identity is a spy, in the service of the British military intelligence agencies, although almost completely does not speak Russian, but Lieutenant Colonel Francis's pure French provides a good cover for his intelligence gathering work, and he is quite good in the Russian upper class where French is popular, which is very beneficial to his work, and because of this, Since the outbreak of the Russian Civil War. Francis became an important eye and ear for the British government to understand the development of the situation in Russia, and because of his special relationship with the Russian upper class, Francis could also follow the Russian republican army to the Eastern front like a Russian military correspondent.

Francis was well aware of the "chaos" situation of the Russian Civil War, and it was not only the complicated international situation that caused this "chaos" situation, but more importantly, the strong impact of various ideological "currents" in Russia, the apolitical fǔists, Mensheviks, Bolsheviks, royalists, republicans, ...... These political forces are involved in the ongoing Russian civil war, and for the time being, it seems that the republicans can unite the majority of the political factions, but this is based on the premise that the common enemy———— the Tsarist government has not fallen, and once the Tsarist government is eliminated, then Francis still believes that the situation of the Russian soul 'chaos' will not end immediately, because there is likely to be a split within the republican faction, and the most decisive influence on this situation is the Bolsheviks.

However, as an Englishman and a spy in the service of British military intelligence, Francis never believed that Russia should remain stable, and the British government's strategy was very clear, that is, to contain any country that might threaten British interests, even if it was a European country, so although the British government did not want the Russian civil war to continue, at the same time, the British government also hoped that Russia would not calm down so quickly. It would be better to take advantage of the turbulent situation in Russia to gain the best interests of Britain, and therefore Francis's task now was very clear, that is, to do everything possible to get close to all the political factions that might in the future hold the central power in Russia, and the British government would not be blind to the ideas of this political faction, except for the Bolsheviks.

As long as the Russian Provisional Government can guarantee the supply of food and fuel, then the political situation in Russia will eventually stabilize, but it will not be easy, because the war between Russia and Germany shows no signs of stopping, and as long as the war does not stop, then the material supply situation in Russia will not be completely improved, and the situation in Russia will continue to move. and to give the opposition of the Provisional Government an opportunity to take advantage of it, and in this respect the ideas of the Bolsheviks were the most able to win the support of the lower classes of the Russian population.

"This kind of logistical 'chaos' may be deliberately created by those political opposition, who knows, maybe it is the anarchic fǔ elements, as for the cloth party elements. They might be happy to see that, too. ”

Standing in the dispatch room, Francis pondered the current political situation in Russia, when he suddenly heard a terrible air raid siren.

Francis was very surprised, at the critical moment when such a battle was going on, the air defense sirens suddenly sounded at the railway station, which was obviously not an exercise, the only explanation was that the Russian Tsarist sent the air force.

Francis's surprise was understandable, and according to the information he received, the current Russian Tsarist did not have any military aircraft that could fight. Some time ago, the sky was the air force of the Russian Provisional Government, and it was with the assistance of the air force that the republican army advanced eastward with such high efficiency.

But now, with the air defense sirens sounding, the era of the Republican Air Force dominating the skies seems to be over.

Francis hurried out of the dispatch room, and at this moment he had already heard an explosion in the distance, and with each loud bang, the ground shook with it, and it was clear that the attackers had used heavy aerial bombs, at least two hundred pounds.

At the same time, the air defense positions near the railway station also sounded the sound of high-altitude "firing" guns, and one after another "bomb 'flowers'" burst out in the clear blue sky, black 'color', yellow 'color', and a dull explosion came from high altitude, and the terrible air defense sirens 'intertwined' together, making the atmosphere in the railway station even more tense, and those soldiers and officers who were carrying arms and materials on the platform also hurriedly looked for shelters, and for a while, the entire railway station was in order. Some soldiers, under the command of the officers, hurriedly set up machine guns on the roof to compensate for the sparse high-fire fire.

Because of their air supremacy, the republican army did not attach much importance to ground air defense operations, so there were only six 'anti-firing' guns deployed near the railway station, but these anti-aircraft 'anti-firing' guns were all aided by Britain and France, and their 'sex' ability was much better than that of Russian goods, and they could hit farther and higher, and could effectively attack almost all bombers.

Francis also stood on the roof, raised his binoculars, and looked into the southeastern sky, where he saw more than two dozen heavy bombers with four engines, as a military spy. Francis recognized at a glance that kind of heavy bomber, it was the Chinese-made "Vulture" heavy bomber, the improved model can carry nearly 2,000 pounds of aerial bombs, it is a relatively advanced bomber, and the German heavy bomber that is currently dropping bombs on the British mainland and deep in France is the German version of this "Vulture" heavy bomber.

"Is it Chinese?"

Francis was surprised because the British government believed that China would not be directly involved in the Russian civil war, but now it seems that the British government is too optimistic, and the Chinese obviously do not intend to completely sit on the sidelines in this Russian civil war, as evidenced by the "vulture" heavy bomber in front of them.

Speaking of China, Francis also had some fate with China, back then, the outbreak of the overthrow of the Manchu Dynasty in China was Francis busy, at that time, Francis was still a military attache of the British Embassy in China, the main task was also to collect military intelligence, and when China and Japan broke out in the Northeast Asian War, Francis also indirectly provided intelligence for the Japanese military department, and because of this, shortly after the end of the war, Francis was the Chinese central government to "engage in foreign affairs" He was declared "persona non grata" on the grounds of "unrelated affairs" and was summarily deported, and then spent some time in England before being sent by the British government to Russia as a military attaché to continue his old job ———— gathering intelligence.

For Francis, China is his Waterloo, since he was expelled, he no longer dares to despise that eastern power, so although now he can clearly see the Russian Far East Army symbols painted on the wings of those "vulture" heavy bombers in the telescope, but he really does not believe that those planes are really piloted by His Majesty the Tsar's noble officers, he instinctively believes that the pilots sitting in the cockpit of those bombers are Chinese, And it is likely to be an active member of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

"Are the Chinese already determined to intervene in the Russian civil war? They actually used heavy bombers in the first air sortie! ”

Francis was very shocked and very surprised, he suddenly found that the sensational exaggerated reports of British journalists in the past were not unfounded, indeed, since the Chinese republicans took power, this large country in the East has behaved more and more "actively", not only internally, but also externally, which can be proved by the Nanyang War, and these "vultures" in front of them are obviously another proof.

While Francis was stunned, those "vulture" heavy bombers had already entered the effective "firing" range of their high-altitude guns, shuttling through the "'flowers' of shells" in the sky, and were still dropping bombs on the ground, and the bombs were getting closer and closer to the railway station.
