"Seeing that there is no grass and trees, the heart is not panicked, so he finds the way to go. I saw torches littered on both sides of the mountain, torches everywhere, Chinese medicine lines on the ground, and iron cannons flew on the spot. The fire dances in the valley, but every vine armor is everywhere. The storyteller on the stage gestured with his hands and said loudly: "The vulture bones and 30,000 vine armor soldiers were burned to hug each other and died in the Valley of the Coiled Snake." ”

"Okay—" The listeners on the stage applauded, but there was a strange voice among them.

"What's good, Zhuge Wuhou burned more than 30,000 rattan armor soldiers. However, the Holy One burned 400,000 Russian hairs in Omsk today, and that is wonderful. ”

"Young offspring, don't talk nonsense. How can we grass people know about such militaristic affairs? The storyteller looked disdainful, although everyone knew about the imperial expedition, but where would the details be announced to the world so quickly.

"How dare such a big thing and a small student talk nonsense, this is what was written on the side of the issue just issued by the "Business Times." After saying that, he raised the newspaper in his hand.

"Oh-" The storyteller stepped down from the stage in surprise, and after taking the trumpet from the hand of the descendant and reading it carefully, he suddenly shouted yes, but quickly walked up to the stage, picked up the shocking wood and slapped it heavily: "I think that the Russian Maozi came from the north, first occupied my northwest land, and then forced the former Qing to cede the outer Xing'an Mountains and other places, and deceived me the most...... However, the heavens will rejuvenate our China and descend the Holy Lord Mingjun. First, he used the technique of Zhurong to conquer Vladivostok, the first fortress in the Far East, and then waved his army north to collect my northern homeland. But I don't want the Russian Maozi to die because of the heart of our China, and he gathers a large army to attack my China again. When the imperial court got this news, it naturally couldn't sit idly by, and naturally the soldiers came to cover up the water...... Our army immediately went on an expedition outside the Saiwai. Defeated the Russian vanguard several times in a row, and attacked countless cities. Finally met the main force of the Russian army in Omsk, and the two armies faced each other across the river. The Russian army was defeated one after another by our Korean army and its morale was low. But it must be more than 400,000 troops, and at this time, our army is only more than 100,000 people, and the disparity in strength can be described as critical. However, if this Russian army cannot be defeated, it will suffer from it in the future...... In the face of the great river and the overwhelming Russian army, if it wants to attack, it will sacrifice a lot, and the imperial court has an idea, and then sacrifices the art of Zhu Rong——"

The storyteller made extremely demagogic remarks about the precarious situation at the front, but when he said this, he suddenly stopped, which made the audience very dissatisfied. Every time I talk about the wonderful place, I have to listen to the next breakdown, don't you just want to charge two more dollars? At this time, there were already audience members in the audience who raised their banknotes.

After collecting a circle of money, Mr. Storyteller was naturally refreshed. He took a sip of tea, coughed lightly a few times, and then said: "The Russian army is naturally not strong with it, so the army pours fuel first with the air force, and the artillery bombards with heavy artillery later. Fuel fires spread throughout the Russian positions, but our air force did not stop, and the fuel poured non-stop, so that the fuel was ignited in mid-air. The fire that fell from the sky was really enchanting......"

Mr. Storyteller said this for seven days. Because the attack of the Chinese Air Force on Omsk lasted seven whole days. The building was burned to a crisp and collapsed in the shelling, and the position was shrouded in a thick smoke...... The flames of the sky burned everything that could be burned, even the rivers were on fire, because oil was lighter than water. Every day, the photos taken by the Air Force will be sent to the capital as soon as possible and published in the newspapers for public. This is not only to build up the confidence of the people in victory, so that the subsequent policy of immigration to Siberia can be continued, but more importantly, it is more important to inform the Western powers of the new tactics of the air force through some reports. The Air Force will be the main force in future wars, so let's all come to China to purchase airships.

"Confirmation has been received from the Chinese Ministry of War. In total, more than 2,000 tons of fuel oil were dropped on Omsk. This is the same tactic used by China in the previous attack on Vladivostok, but Vladivostok dropped only 1,500 tons of fuel. "Almost all the envoys to China have checked the report through their own channels after seeing it. Finally, after receiving the official statement from the Ministry of War, each sent almost the same message back to his own government.

"For a seaport-type city like Vladivostok, 1,500 tons of fuel oil is indeed enough to burn through."

"Omsk is different from such a dense city as Vladivostok, where 2,000 tons of fuel is not enough to completely destroy the Russian army. But if the photos are real, we don't see the possibility of victory for the Russian army. ”

"China still maintains a high density of its military operations, not only on the front line, but also in the rear of Novosibirsk, which also refuses to be interviewed by journalists from various countries."

According to reliable information from spies, China transported more than 3,000 tons of fuel to the front line during the war. We bribed the German volunteers, but we also did not get accurate data. ”

"Airships, whether used for attack, reconnaissance, emergency transportation, artillery firing, etc., play an extremely important role. The Chinese have demonstrated the use of airships for us, and we need to reassess the role and importance of airships. ”

“……”

The British, American, French, Italian and other governments had an in-depth discussion of the war in Omsk, and they had their own speculations and assessments. Only Germany's assessment is different from other countries, because there are German soldiers who serve in the Chinese army and have access to the most detailed data.

"From the analysis of the effect of the airdrop of fuel from Omsk by the non-commissioned officers of the front, one thousand and a half hundred tons of fuel should not have the ability to completely destroy Vladivostok."

"Considering that Vladivostok is only a seaport city on the peninsula, its city is small, and more fuel is airdropped than Omsk for the same area. At present, it is impossible to estimate the effect of high-density combustion of fuel. But judging by China's military operations, the Chinese Air Force lost one airship during the Battle of Vladivostok, while Omsk did not. ”

"It is said that China already has a well-developed theory of air combat, but this is not open to trainee non-commissioned officers. If we need to learn, judging from China's current situation, we will certainly ask China for more cooperation in the field of military and related equipment. Please consider this in advance. ”

"In addition, according to the report of the trainee non-commissioned officer, there is a very special army in the Chinese army, which is advancing under the strict and dense escort of three cavalry divisions, and so far there is no news. According to intelligence analysis, this army is likely to be a new means of attack by the Chinese. At this point, officers at all levels of the front line are requested to strengthen their observation. ”

No matter what countries think and do, China has already told the world with practical actions. The role of airships in warfare and its importance. What is more important is the perfect command system and operational theory of the Air Force, which cannot be obtained by buying a few airships and a few patented technologies. Even if you can figure it out on your own. Not to mention the time spent, are the theories summed up from the training comparable to the theories that have been tested in real combat? Airships in China were born and with their violent means of attack. It makes people see the unstoppable momentum of China's rise. The arrogance of the whites remained, but they had to face up to the Far East, the only great power.

"We need to consider the impact of China's victory on the world situation." This is a question that all countries are considering at the same time.

In fact, including the German trainee non-commissioned officers, they only knew very one-sided things. For example, the fuel for the delivery of Novosibirsk was 5,000 tons, half of which was loaded on trucks and sent to the front line for the rationing of armored divisions, etc. For example, the airdrop of fuel lasted only five days, not because I didn't want to invest anymore, but because I had nothing to throw in. As more and more oil-fired boilers are installed on warships, and with the inevitable expansion of armored forces, China's consumption of oil will inevitably increase. So far, China has only discovered a small and pitiful oil field in Yuguanmen, and a large amount of fuel oil still needs to be imported from abroad. Five days of Air Force operations have already reduced the country's daily oil stocks to warning values.

"Omsk, located at the east-west transportation hub of the northern route, will become the core city of China's control of the northwest in the future, and it will be relatively easy to burn it all down today and rebuild it later. But it really can't be burned anymore, and our army can't attack with such a big fire. Liang Huadian wiped his sweat, it was really hot.

When the General Staff Headquarters was still discussing whether to further expand the burning area, it received a telegram from Liang Huadian from the front line, which finally strengthened the General Staff Headquarters' determination to stop the attack. Most of Achaiqiu's Yuan Shoushan Corps had crossed the river and could begin a military campaign to attack Omsk. In the end, however, the attack was delayed by two days, as the fire burned for seven days.

Act effectively. The central position of the Russian army in Omsk is finished, and the fire caused the Russian army to directly lose more than 60,000 troops, although most of them were burned and smoked, but the loss of combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. In addition to this, the loss of food and ammunition is incalculable. This made the remaining 340,000 Russian troops even have a problem with basic living needs. Fortunately, Omsk is different from Vladivostok, a city with a limited area, and a wide area with sufficient depth and gradient to arrange troops and supplies. Otherwise, this will become a second Vladivostok.

But China's seemingly violent attack has caused concern among many of the interns in the General Staff Headquarters. Because in the face of such a violent attack, there is no power to counter. The best way is to retreat on all fronts, but at this time the Russian army has no way to retreat. Militarily speaking. Astana and Omsk are important strongholds to hold the Chinese army's westward advance, because the Russian army lost Astana due to command errors, and the gate of the southern front has been opened by the Chinese army. Politically speaking, Omsk must not be lost, China and Russia are at war whether they are at war by sea or land, Russia has been defeated again and again, and Nicholas II urgently needs a victory to quell the revolutions that are rising in the country. All the conditions have repeatedly demonstrated the importance of Omsk, and since it cannot be withdrawn or defended, the last resort is a desperate all-out attack. Since the Russian army has suffered heavy losses in the bombing, it has always been able to gather more than 200,000 effective offensive troops, while the Chinese army on the other side of the river has only more than 50,000 men.

About this, even cadet staff officers, who are in an internship and have not yet fully graduated from a military school, recognize this problem, and they do not think that the veteran general Alekseev does not see this.

"You forgot to analyze the psychology of the Russian army at this time." At the strategic analysis meeting of the General Staff Headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Shizhen gave a lesson to these intern staff officers: "On the surface, it seems that this is true, but once the Russian army launches a strong attack across the river on all fronts, General Liang may not be able to withstand it. But does the Russian army know about these situations? Even knowing that they really dare to counterattack? Don't forget that in the early battle, our army was afraid of the Russian army with a rapid assault, what if this is exactly the strategy of the Chinese to seduce Russia out of their positions? What if the Russian army, which had already left its fortified position on the plain, was attacked by the Chinese again? Behind it is a big river without bridges, and if the Chinese come to raid again, once they fail to withstand it, they can only jump into the river. ”

This is the case in the General Staff Headquarters, and the best place to learn is the real war. Therefore, directing the war and training new people are always carried out at the same time, so that these new staff officers can imitate the opposing commander to think about the war. On the one hand, it can cultivate the command ability of future generals, and at the same time, it can effectively supplement the current strategic thinking. In fact, Alekseev, who was far away in Omsk, also thought so. Although he was sure to force his way across the Irtysh River with huge losses, he was also not sure that he would be able to withstand another Chinese assault. Alekseev wanted to go south to attack the second Chinese group, which was crossing the river. However, there were fewer troops stationed in Omsk, and they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese. There are many troops stationed, and they are not sure that they will be able to defeat the second Chinese cluster head-on. Alekseev at this time was quite entangled.

"Of course, in order to prevent the Russian army from jumping over the wall, it is necessary to exert more military pressure on Russia and force the Russian army to enter a full-scale defense." At the meeting, Wang Shizhen gave an order on the spot.

The order spread to the western theater of war, and the Japanese 1st Division, which had completed its reorganization in Novosibirsk, the Ryukyu Division, which had just arrived, and the three Korean divisions were also ordered to reinforce Omsk. Nie Shicheng, who was reorganizing the Kazakh Army in Astana, led his main force and the Kazakh Army with a total of more than 50,000 people to advance towards Kostanay, and at the same time, with the 5th Division of the Japanese Army as the main force and the 1st Kazakh Army with a total of more than 30,000 people, approached Petropavl. Liu Shengxiu, the southernmost of them, was the slowest of all Chinese troops. Because there were too many former Chinese vassal states in the direction of his march, the military operation to attack the Russian army was important, but it was more important to contact and pacify these former vassal states than military action, Liu Shengxiu was first stationed in Korea, then leased Germany to attack Kyushu, and finally moved to Tokyo, this general who had been stationed overseas for many years had rich experience in negotiating with various countries, so it was appropriate for him to be the commander-in-chief of the southern front. On the day he had just captured Tashkent, after receiving the order from the General Staff Headquarters, he summoned the **** generals of all vassal divisions that night and ordered them to use all their forces to ensure all kinds of materials needed by their subordinates. Then they abandoned their baggage and marched north with the Japanese 3rd Division overnight, because they were too far from their destination Aktobinsk.

China did not intend to hide from anyone in these military operations, and it was impossible to conceal such a large military movement, so it simply acted in a blatant manner. China abandoned the Central and Southern Front. Including the reinforcements mobilized from the rear and the total strength of the troops of the vassal states of nearly 700,000 to kill Russia, the Chinese military department even boasted that it would occupy Ufa, the hometown of the Russian tsar.

As soon as the news broke, European countries expressed their dissatisfaction with the Chinese government. Russia was not liked by the rest of Europe. But they must all belong to the same white race, and now a yellow nation, which is considered inferior, has openly stated that it wants to conquer the birthplace of the Slavs, who also belong to the white race. This is even worse than the plot of killing Tsar Nicus II, because the Tsar died and could find another one. And Ufa is a place for whites in the traditional sense. It is impossible for the whites, led by Britain and France, to allow the yellow race to enter the white sphere of influence.

The Chinese side did not publicly explain, but only told the envoys who came to inquire that it was only out of military deterrence. Only Nicholas II roared in the Kremlin to recruit more troops and enter the city of Beijing.

However, the few elite Russian troops in the Far East surrendered because of the widespread appearance of scurvy, and the only troops who were at war with China were the local garrisons in the depths of the Russian territory and the peasants who were about to be drafted. Of course, Russia did not lack elite troops, and almost all of these troops were on the Western Front to defend against Germany. It's just that the entire Russian top brass underestimated China and still looked at China with the impression of the Manchu era. However, they did not know that China had been preparing for this war for ten years, and then the whole country and its sphere of influence were exhausted, and Russia's defeat was inevitable. When the Russian top brass reacted and wanted to transfer the elite of the Western Front to the Eastern Front, they were not in a hurry, because Germany mobilized a large number of troops to the Eastern Front, which put Russia in a dilemma. As soon as they transfer the elite troops, Germany will not be able to stand it at this time. In the final analysis, Siberia is only the territory acquired by Russia after expansion, and the European part is the elite part of Russia, and it must not be lost. Nicholas II could only angrily order the front-line troops to defeat the Chinese at all costs.

Germany's military action has also aroused the vigilance of European countries, but Germany has explained to the outside world that it is just a normal change of troops. In fact, the German top brass was smiling without eyes, they just let the time for the change of troops be a little earlier, and they exchanged the complete radio production technology from China, although this was paid. China is also relieved that the first generation of radio technology has long been on sale. Although the well-known radio experts of later generations were "invited" to China, just like Popov, as long as there is a need in the European scientific environment, someone will definitely study it, and someone has successfully developed and registered a patent. But so what, European scientists have only made a rudimentary shelf, China has been officially equipped in the army, although it has not successfully registered a patent in Europe, but everyone knows that China's radio is definitely more advanced. The exchange of an outdated first-generation radio technology for Germany's containment of the main forces of the Russian army on the Western Front is not only in the military sense, but also has an important impact on the post-war landscape. Now that Yuan Shoushan's second cluster is ready, let's wipe out the last mobile forces of the Russian Eastern Front at once.

"This is the final showdown. Attack on all fronts and annihilate Omsk Russia. (To be continued.) )
