Chapter 187: World War (Part II)
As early as May 1916, the Battle of Siberia had begun, and the Chinese Army attacked the Russian Siberian region in three ways.
The eastern route was a 100,000-strong army composed of the 13th Army and the 23rd Army, commanded by General Ma Qi and Lieutenant General Ma Lin, which directly crossed the Khingan Mountains and attacked the Baikal region of Russia from the east.
The 07th Army, the 17th Army, the 27th Army and the newly formed 10 armies totaling 500,000 troops, commanded by Marshal Yue Fengxian, General Murong Ke and others, directly attacked Russia's Kyakhta from Mongolian Province, and then directly attacked from the area south of Lake Baikal. More than 100,000 Cossack cavalry flew into ashes on the shores of Lake Baikal.
The western route was composed of the 05th Group Army, the 15th Group Army, the 25th Group Army, and the newly organized 20 armies with a total of 800,000 troops, commanded by Marshal Xiang Zilong, General Kangdingbei, and others.
At this point, in Russia's Siberian region, China invested more than 1.4 million troops, forcing Russia's strategic focus to completely shift from Europe to the Siberian region, and the allied forces of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and other allied powers, which were already about to be unable to support them, suddenly lost the Russian oppression in the east, and the pressure was greatly reduced, and 1.5 million army forces were freed up to be put into the western battlefield. The Allied forces that were specifically aimed at Britain and France.
Because the United States was seriously threatened by the Chinese Army in the Pacific region, it was too busy to take care of itself and did not dare to increase troops in Europe, which made the situation on the European battlefield change in an instant, and in the African theater, the war between the Entente and the Central Powers also tended to be white-hot.
The Entente forces, mainly Britain and France, suddenly increased their pressure, and some of them could not resist the attack of the allied forces dominated by Germany and Austria, and within three months France lost hundreds of miles of land.
In June 1916, an army of 800,000 troops under the command of Marshal Xiang Zilong and General Kangding Beibei invaded Western Siberia and cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. Wang Jundao immediately decided to send 500,000 troops to Western Siberia.
July. The 300,000 vanguard reinforcements of the 10th Army arrived in Western Siberia, and under the order of Wang Jundao, Kangdingbei led 300,000 troops to garrison the Ural Mountains to block the Russian army from Eastern Europe. Xiang Zilong led an army of 800,000 to attack the east. The aim is to compress the million-strong Russian army in Siberia onto the Central Siberian plateau.
August. One hundred thousand Chinese troops again arrived in Western Siberia and threw themselves into the barrage of the Ural Mountains, at the same time. 100,000 Chinese troops also rushed to eastern Central Siberia, bringing the total number of Chinese troops to 700,000 in eastern Central Siberia.
At the end of August, Xiang Zilong commanded 800,000 Chinese troops to drive the Russian army eastward out of the West Siberian Plain, at this time, the million Russian troops in Siberia have been compressed to the western part of the Central Siberian Plateau, and in the absence of logistical supplies, the million Russian troops will face the 700,000 Chinese Army in the east and the 800,000 Chinese Army in the west, which has almost reached the Jedi!
In September, Siberia began to get cold, and millions of Russian troops began to run out of food, but on the Ural Mountain defense line, the 400,000 Chinese Army stubbornly withstood the frantic attack of nearly one million Russian troops, causing the Russian army to lose more than 300,000 troops in the Ural Mountains within two months.
In October, the million Russian army in the western part of the Central Siberian Plateau failed to attack westward eight times in a row, and the defense line not only did not expand, but gradually shrunk, at this time the Russian army had run out of food, and as a last resort, the Russian army began to slaughter the war horses of the Cossack cavalry for food, and the million Russian army still had more than 200,000 Cossack cavalry, 300,000 war horses, and there would be no shortage of food in a short time.
In November, winter came in Siberia and the weather was cold, China and Russia were locked in a war confrontation, and the resistance war in the Ural Mountains also came to a standstill.
As of December, China had invested 600,000 troops in the Indian battlefield, and under the command of Xu Jian, the Chinese army had conquered northern India and confronted the 700,000 Anglo-Indian troops in the south of India.
In the Southeast Asian battlefield, China has invested 600,000 troops, Southeast Asian troops, Britain, France and other Allied armies only a minority, most of them are armies composed of Southeast Asian natives who have no military quality, united, although there are as many as 600,000, but in the face of Tang Jian, a marshal from mountain and jungle operations, and the 600,000 Chinese army under the unified command of General Xu Zhengrong, it is simply vulnerable, and it is only a matter of time before China will include Southeast Asia in its territory.
In the Japanese battlefield, China had already invested 800,000 troops, and under the command of Marshal Nie Yuanzheng and General Sun Chuanfang, even though Japan had a million army, it did not take any advantage.
In the Hawaiian Islands, China has also stationed a full 800,000 troops, and all the conditions are ripe for a landing on the United States.
In China itself, there are still the 01st Group Army, the 08th Group Army, the 11th Group Army, the 14th Group Army, the 18th Group Army, the 20th Group Army, the 21st Group Army, the 24th Group Army, and the newly formed 20 armies with a full 1.1 million field armies that have not been used.
Wang Jundao immediately ordered another 200,000 troops to be sent to Japan, bringing the Chinese Army in Japan to 1 million, Hawaii by 200,000, and the Chinese Army in Hawaii to 1 million.
Time turned, and it was March 1917, when the Allied forces had captured half of France in the Western European theater, and the Entente army was retreating.
In the African theater, the Allied forces also advanced, while the Allies kept retreating south.
And after a few months, in Southeast Asia, the 600,000-strong Chinese Army has almost completely occupied the important islands in Southeast Asia, eliminating the important resistance everywhere.
In the Indian battlefield, the Chinese army has also defeated the Anglo-Indian coalition forces several times, advancing the front to the southern part of the Indian peninsula for more than 300 kilometers.
In the Japanese theater. The islands of Kyushu and Shikoku have been completely occupied by China, and all resistance has been completely eliminated, and most of the Japanese men on the two large islands, who are over 14 years old and under 60 years old, have died at the gunpoint of Korean soldiers, and Korean soldiers have also suffered more than 100,000 casualties.
After several months of preparation, Hawaii's strategic materials had already been stockpiled, and Wang Jundao immediately ordered the launch of a landing battle in the United States.
Under the command of Lin Zhengnan, the million-strong Chinese Army, which had been waiting in Hawaii for months, launched a simultaneous attack from the two major ports of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Under the bombardment of thousands of planes. Under the bombardment of naval guns and the attack of tanks, the resistance of the harbor defense lines of Los Angeles and San Francisco was broken by the Chinese Army in less than five days.
Within days, millions of Chinese troops poured into the United States from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Four motorized infantry divisions, four mechanized infantry divisions, four tank armored regiments, four self-propelled artillery regiments and other modern units began to wreak havoc on the western lands of the United States. Unleash a blitzkrieg that was supposed to appear during World War II.
Under the crisis of imminent national annihilation. The United States mobilized the whole country at all costs, and finally managed to build an army of 500,000. Together with the 500,000 Army in the east, they formed a million-strong army and marched to the western United States in an attempt to stop the advance of the Chinese Army.
In April, Wang Jundao ordered the 10th Group Army, the 14th Group Army, the 24th Group Army, and the South China Sea Fleet to be the expeditionary force on the southern front, commanded by Marshal Pang Wei, General Li Jinglin and others, to expedition to Australia, which was also an Entente country.
In the same month, Wang Jundao ordered the 08th Group Army, the 01st Group Army, the 11th Group Army, and the Bohai Sea Fleet, which were the Chinese ace armies, as the expeditionary forces on the Western Front, commanded by Yang Polu and others, to expedition to the Middle East!
In May, the expeditionary force of the southern front landed in northern Australia, which has a land area of seven or eight million square kilometers, but a population of only three or four hundred, a vast and sparsely populated area, and the whole country, including the Allied forces that had retreated from Southeast Asia, had only less than 300,000 troops, and could not withstand the attack of the more than 200,000 well-equipped Chinese army, not to mention the advanced South China Sea Fleet.
In the same month, the expeditionary force of the Western Front landed in the Middle East from the Persian Gulf, which has a dry climate and many deserts, but the land is flat, which is most suitable for the offensive of motorized infantry, mechanized infantry, tank armored units, self-propelled artillery units, etc.
As a result, the Middle East has become the best battlefield for the 08th Army, the 01st Army, and the 11th Army to carry out blitzkrieg.
At this time, after nearly a hundred years, the million Russian troops in Siberia had already eaten up the horses of the Cossack cavalry, and even the food that could be eaten within a radius of several hundred miles had been eaten.
In June, a month of starvation tests completely deprived a million Russian troops of combat effectiveness, and more than 100,000 people had already starved to death!
Under such circumstances, the 1.5 million Chinese Army launched a final offensive from the east and west against the remnants of the Russian army, and within half a month, the Russian army suffered 500,000 casualties, and the remaining 400,000 Russian troops surrendered.
In the same month, under the blitzkrieg of the Chinese Army, the entire territory of Kuwait in the Middle East, most of southeastern Iraq, northeastern Saudi Arabia, and southwestern Iran occupied more than 200,000 square kilometers of land by the Chinese Army, and the 500,000 Allied troops in the Middle East could not resist the attack of the more than 200,000 Chinese Army, and more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded within a month.
In Australia, the Chinese Army won nine battles and nine victories, destroying a total of 150,000 enemies, forcing the Australian Allied forces to abandon northern Australia.
Wang Jundao immediately decided to send 100,000 troops to Australia and 200,000 troops to the Middle East.
In order to sabotage the logistics of the Chinese Army, Britain, France, the United States, and other countries mobilized most of their warships to form a combined fleet of more than 600 warships, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and heading for the Indian Ocean in an attempt to severely damage or annihilate the Chinese fleet.
Wang Jundao had the Bohai Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet form a combined fleet, with more than 650 ships of all kinds, using half of China's navy to meet the combined fleet of the Allied countries.
This magnificent naval battle, in which more than 1,200 ships of both sides participated in the battle, lasted from morning to evening, and because the Chinese fleet had five 30,000-ton 'Imperial' class battleships and 12 10,000-ton 'Zhonghua' class battleships, plus the submarine forces, which were countless times more advanced than the British and French submarine forces, the Chinese fleet finally ended in victory, and the Allied navies lost more than 300 warships of various types, captured more than 100 of them, and less than 100 fled to the Atlantic.
The defeat of this naval battle heralded the final defeat of the Entente in this world war! (To be continued......)
