In March 1909, shortly after the Chinese New Year, the troops on the front were planning a new spring offensive, which was more powerful than ever before, and the number of troops invested was also the largest in history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And this plan is called the Asia Plan, that is, Russia, which occupies the land of Europe and Asia, will completely kick out of Asia and incorporate the territory of Asia into the territory of the Chinese Empire.

The Ural Mountains are the division of the Eurasian continent, Europe to the west, Asia to the east, the Volga to the west and the Ob River to the east, Tyumen is in between, but to the east of the Ural Mountains, in Asia.

The purpose of the Asian project was to take Tyumen and advance the front to the foot of the Ural Mountains, where to build defensive lines and permanent fortifications in order to stabilize the situation.

The investment of the Chinese Empire this time is far greater than that of last year, of which the First Army only left two divisions of the Seventh Army to defend the three northeastern provinces, and the remaining four armies, more than 200,000 people, were all transferred to the front line. In order to make up for the vacancy left by the First Army after it went to the front, three more corps were mobilized from the Central Plains to rush to the northeast and eastern Russia, one of which was stationed in the northeast, and the other two corps were responsible for taking over the vacancy left by the First Army.

The 270,000 men of the Second Group Army, carrying 100,000 self-built reserves, were expanded into seven armies, all of which rushed to the front line, and the original garrison was handed over to the four reserve armies transferred from the Shanxi region for garrison.

This time, Sichuan sent a total of 530,000 troops, second only to the Central Plains, but these troops basically did not go to the front line, but were divided into three parts, of which 330,000 people rushed to Xinjiang through Gansu to meet with the Third Group Army there, and the other part of 100,000 troops cooperated with the Fourth Group Army in the south to enter Tibet westward.

At present, the inland defense area of the Third Army has basically been handed over to the reserve forces, and the scale of this reserve force is really not small, and in order to prevent the regionalization of the army, each unit is split and reorganized, and on average there are at least three provinces in each division, and the total number of this reserve force has reached 1.3 million, of course, this is the total number of all reserve forces in the country, whether it is self-built or uniformly formed, it must be counted in this army.

Wang Sirui intends to reorganize this reserve force into the Fifth Group Army, that is, the internal security force, and at the same time undertake the training of new recruits and other tasks, while the others only retain the four major group armies, and if they cannot meet the needs of the front, they can continue to transfer troops from the rear to other group armies.

This cannot be done for the time being, because the expansion of the domestic army is underway, and it will not be possible until half a year later at the earliest to have enough troops to be withdrawn, and the only thing that can be done now is to withdraw the four main army groups as much as possible, so that they will no longer undertake defensive tasks.

The most direct effect of this is that the Third Group Army, which has occupied and controlled Xinjiang, the First Largest Army with 450,000 troops, has already arrived in Xinjiang a month after occupying Xinjiang, and the 200,000 reserve troops sent from the rear have also arrived in Xinjiang, according to the plan, the Third Army will leave 50,000 troops as support to prevent the reserves from being raided, and the remaining 400,000 troops will send troops from Xinjiang to directly capture Kazakhstan and join the main forces of the First and Second Army from the south and north.

The main force of the Chinese Empire's plan for this operation was 1.12 million, with a total of 18 corps, 90 divisions, and 4 armored infantry divisions of 100,000 men.

The 104th Armored Infantry Division is a newly formed unit, the unit has just been formed for a year, but the soldiers are all veterans, as before, they are all drawn from other units, a year is just a training time, and the main tank of their training is the Boar tank, supplemented by a small number of butcher tanks, and gradually replace the Boar tank with the butcher tank, so far, the 104th Armored Infantry Division has been equipped with about 100 butcher tanks, and the replacement of 100 Boar tanks remained in the camp, They will serve as training tanks for the upcoming 105th Panzer Infantry Division.

Before the Chinese New Year, the 104th Armored Infantry Division had secretly arrived at the front line by train, ready to engage in a new battle.

The Chinese Empire is making a big move, not hesitating to invest millions of troops on the Russian battlefield, with only one purpose, that is, to completely end the war before the winter of this year.

On the other hand, the Russians have been flawed recently, although Moscow is still increasing troops to the front line, but the lack of materials, weapons and equipment, lack of soldiers, etc., so that the Russian army can not keep up with the pace of preparation for the Chinese Empire, as of now, the total number of front-line troops of the Russian army has been proven, only about 600,000, and one-third of the soldiers are from prisoners, deserters' families, this kind of people have almost no combat effectiveness, although in order to atone for their crimes, they may work harder, But without any military training and lack of weapons and equipment, there is no need to think much about the outcome of fighting against the Royal Army, which is armed to the teeth.

The Russians' prediction of this war has been greatly deviated, and the most direct consequence is that the Russians were not able to make up for it in time after the plan was completely disrupted by the Chinese Empire because of their lack of preparation and lax defense in the early stage of the war, resulting in the war being lost more and more miserably, and more and more territory was lost.

Before this war, not only Russia, but also Britain, France, the United States and Germany did not have much standing troops in their hands, and the combined land forces of several countries could be considered good if they could have two million.

And as the war continues, the Germans have a faint possibility to challenge the whole of Europe, which led to a new round of arms expansion in European countries, but this time is not a blind expansion of the army, the expansion of the army at the beginning is not obvious, but after the New Year, that is, January 1 in Western countries, with the arrival of the new fiscal year, the tilt of the budget began to gradually appear, Britain and France and other countries began to expand a large number of troops, so far, France has expanded the army to 600,000, Britain also had an army of 400,000.

How many are there in Germany? No one knows this yet, but according to speculation, it should not be less than 700,000, and according to the plans of various countries, the number of troops will be expanded to at least 1 million or even more in the next year or two.

The state will spend a lot of money on the military, then the economic aspect will inevitably suffer, although this is only the beginning, not to the most serious time, but some crises have begun to appear, Britain, France, Germany and Austria and other countries have begun to decline, some small scale, not strong enterprises are also on the verge of bankruptcy.

But this does not affect the decision of the country's top leadership, the armament war, the military race, this train is not something you can get off if you don't want to, and it is not something you can get down if you want to, all countries are helpless about this, but they can still only keep up with the pace of Germany, once Germany's strength exceeds the opponent, then it will be a disaster for the whole of Europe.

And Russia has not taken this train in history, and it has not taken this train in this era either, because the attack of the Chinese Empire has thrown Russia into chaos.

At the same time that Russia's domestic economy was affected by the war, the political situation also faintly began to appear unstable, and those opposition parties became active again, and some towns and areas that were not particularly important became their active bases.

Having accepted the advice of the 'Japanese', Lenin adopted the tactics of guerrilla warfare against the Russian government troops, and although their main forces had not yet received weapons and equipment, small units were already in action.

When active in a certain place, release a secret post in advance, and once the main force of the Russian army is discovered, it will immediately move and evacuate, and wait for the Russian army to leave before coming back.

Although this tactic did not have any effect for a while, and did not expand the opposition's territory much, it made the Russian army not care about each other, and they were often busy running around at both ends, which also faintly made them feel a sense of disgust, and even later, the Russian government army has begun to appear The phenomenon of grinding foreign workers, anyway, those guerrillas do not dare to collide with them head-on, no matter how fast they run, they still can't see any enemy after they arrive, it is better to walk slowly and leisurely, and make a show.

So, in desperation, the Russian government can only make another stupid move, forced conscription in the country, according to the number of villages and towns, every ten people must send one prime of life to join the army, this is not calculated according to the number of young and middle-aged people, but all the women, children, old and young are counted, and on the whole, on average, every three prime of life will have one person to join the army, and it is mandatory, if the number is not enough, then the whole village and town are all in the prime of life, what can the old, weak, sick and disabled do? Either go to the freight yard to carry baggage, or exile to the front line with explosives bags and die with the enemy.

For a time, there was even more resentment in Russia, and the people's resentment towards the government was even greater, but under the pressure of the government, they did not dare to resist, so they could only send people to join the army, while secretly planning to welcome the arrival of the opposition, at this moment, they also hoped to overthrow the Russian government, so that the country would return to peace and no longer suffer from war.

Lost a little territory? Lose it, lose it, anyway, a large part of Russia's territory is no man's land, desolate to death, who is rare? Why do you want to use your own life to plug the bullet hole? In the end, when he died, his family did not get any benefit, but those who could just open their mouths on it got cheap.

The Tsarist government apparently also expected that this would not work, that it would be tearing down their foundations, so, at the suggestion of some, these forcibly recruited soldiers should not be sent to the front for the time being, and only let them suppress the opposition at home, and as for the soldiers, they would find a way to do it from other places.

What everyone didn't expect was that it was precisely because of this already unimportant Russia that this decision was made that it completely poked the hornet's nest and triggered unpredictable consequences.
