Chapter 376: The Far Eastern Republic
Under this sudden blow, the Russian cavalry suddenly fell into chaos, many of them have begun to disperse, no matter how those political workers shout, they can't change the fact that the army is defeated, how can the flesh and blood not be the opponent of the steel monster, the dense bullets and shells of the [***] team are like huge scythes, ruthlessly harvesting the knight's surname.
The panicked Russian cavalry completely lost its organization, and everyone had only one thought, that is, to quickly get rid of those steel beasts that they couldn't destroy at all, in the dark night, this blind rout was very fatal, many cavalry had lost their direction, and there was only one thought left in their minds, that is, to escape!
At this time, the troops of the White Russians were also concentrated, and it was probably impossible to count on them to attack the fortifications, but there was no problem in fighting a good battle, especially since Semenov also promised a heavy reward, as long as he could destroy a Red Army, he would be able to get a tael of gold plus a bottle of vodka!
Gold and vodka are things that can make the blood of these White Russians boil, they have lost all faith, and now the only thing left is enjoyment, so under this heavy reward these people show an extremely murderous side, as long as they catch up with the Russian Red Army, they will be chopped into several pieces, they will be like the Mongol army back then, tie the head to the horse's neck, to show off military exploits, but also as a reward certificate.
In the night, this kind of life-and-death struggle is being staged in the Siberian wasteland, and the Russians with the same blood flowing in their bodies have become enemies of life and death because of their different positions, without any politeness, and the smell of blood envelops the heavens and the earth!
With the defeat of the Russian cavalry, the blow to Russia is huge, without the cavalry, the Red Army has no mobility, in the face of the Chinese armored forces, they can't escape if they want to, until this moment Bryuhel figured out why the Chinese did not rush to invest in armored forces!
Horses cannot threaten tanks, but they can help the Russian army escape, now without horses, they have really become meat on the chopping board, at this time Pronov also lost that spiritual energy, the invincible cavalry actually failed, the Chinese are so powerful, then they have to face the situation of failure.
If you don't capture Nebuchu, you will have to face a retreat, where can you retreat? Chita! Moscow would have shot itself if he had known that he had single-handedly caused the defeat, and now that Pronov was confused, he grabbed Bryukhel's hand with a look of pleading on his face.
"Comrade Bryucher, you will definitely be able to hold this place, right, whatever you need, I will definitely support you with all my might, as long as you can block the Chinese offensive!"
"I need you to shut up, this is the battlefield, not your venue, everything has to listen to me!"
Knowing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, he could only try to gather the scattered cavalry, and at the same time strengthen the position overnight, extend the defense, and at the same time ask for help in the direction of Chita, hoping that Tukhachevsky can give him some assistance!
However, at this time, Tukhachevsky also encountered big trouble, China and Russia have a long land border, and the Chinese side will not honestly fight with the Russians in the Far East, just when China marched into Nebuchu, Qiao Yu had already given an order to Yang Sen of Outer Mongolia, asking him to take the Mongolian cavalry troops to harass the Russian rear, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway!
Yang Sen is also eager to fight, others have made meritorious contributions in the northeast, and he can only guard Mongolia, how can there be some imbalance in his heart, as soon as he heard that he was sent to send troops to disturb, he was immediately very happy!
Janssen's cavalry team started from Darkhan and directly inserted into the rear of the Russian army, and the peak of the soldiers pointed directly at Lower Udinsk, Janssen's troops were all cavalry, and they did not carry too many heavy weapons, and his tactics were completely based on harassment, attacking the Russian army's transport convoys and destroying railways and highways.
Even instigating popular uprisings and rebellions in these regions, you must know that Russia is also a multi-ethnic country, the ethnic composition is more complex than China, and there are still a large number of yellow people in the Far East, most of these yellow people are related to Mongolia, they were conquered by the tsar and incorporated into the huge Tsarist Russia, but these people have no loyalty to Russia at all, and they can even say that they still have resentment in their hearts.
As soon as it is provoked, a fire will immediately ignite, and now Tukhachevsky is making every effort to defend the Trans-Siberian Railway and at the same time suppress all kinds of counter-revolutionary uprisings, and he is in a hurry!
Without Tukhachevsky's assistance, the situation of the Russian soldiers on the Nebuchu side suddenly became extremely bad, just after China successfully eliminated the cavalry troops, the Chinese tanks finally went into full force in the war the next day, in the face of air power and strong armored forces, the Russian army's carefully constructed fortifications seemed vulnerable, and the lack of supplies Russia could only threaten the tank with cluster grenades, often injuring a tank would cost dozens of lives, and even if the tank's tracks were damaged, If you can't threaten the soldiers in the tank, you will still continue to harvest lives!
Even though Bryuhel has superb command ability, but it is also powerless, after holding out for seven days, the defense was completely breached, a large number of Russian troops were captured by China, only Bryuhel fled back to Chita with a few subordinates!
And Russia's troubles are not only these, in the direction of Xinjiang Province, Liu Xiang seized the area east of Lake Balkhash, Russia is also extremely uncomfortable, just when Tukhachevsky and others were sent to the Far East, Frunze also led 30,000 Red Army to attack the Chinese army in Central Asia.
However, Frunze also made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, the Russians, like other white people, have a sense of superiority, even the British and French intervention forces have been defeated, what big waves can a poor and weak China set off!
Due to traffic problems, China did not arrange tank divisions, but it added a large number of machine guns to Liu Xiang's troops, each division has more than 400 light and heavy machine guns, these machine guns together constitute a barrage of death, those Russian soldiers in the storm-like attack, there is no resistance at all, the more heroic and fearless, the faster they die!
Frunze was born in 1885 in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, in Central Asia, which belonged to Tsarist Russia at the time of his birth, but just ten years ago, it was mostly Chinese territory, but it was ceded to Tsarist Russia by the incompetent Manchu Qing Dynasty!
At this time, Bishkek returned to the control of the Chinese, and Frunze's hometown was once again taken back by the Chinese, and history is so interesting, as if it turned around and returned to the starting point!
Frunze marched into Central Asia with great confidence, he must take back his homeland and make the Chinese pay the price, but the reality made his head bleed, and he himself was hit by a stray bullet in the battle, and immediately lost the ability to command!
Now Red Russia has setbacks in three directions, the powerful Red Army can defeat the White Russian and Anglo-French intervention armies, but there is no way to compete with the Chinese, every battlefield is losing, Frunze, Tukhachevsky, Bryuhel and others are already the best commanders in Russia, they can't win, so can others?
Lenin is still in power in Moscow now, and unlike Comrade Steel, Lenin still has a high degree of flexibility, he knows very well what Russia is like now, and he also clearly sees that the opponent China has been very different from before, and has grown into a strong opponent.
After careful deliberations, and at the instigation of Lenin, a Far Eastern Republic was established in Chita, which in principle included the Baikal region, extending east to Yakutsk, directly bordering the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, which was controlled by Lenin, and extending west to the Western Sayan Mountains!
The newly formed republic at once separated Soviet Russia from China and Benedict, forming a huge buffer zone, and at the same time appointed Bryukherr as the People's Commissar for the Defense of the newly formed state, and Trotsky, the main leader of the October Revolution, was sent to Chita as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Far Eastern Republic.
As soon as the Far Eastern Republic was founded, it issued a communiqué to the whole world, saying that the newly established republic is a country with complete autonomy and is willing to maintain peace and cooperation with all its neighbors.
Russia's initiative to establish the Far Eastern Republic is undoubtedly a huge good news for Qiao Yu, which shows that Soviet Russia has taken the lead in admitting defeat in this contest, in fact, China at this time has also reached a limit, it seems that Chinese soldiers can suppress the Russian army on any front, but the Chinese [***] team is also in trouble, that is, the huge pressure on logistics.
The Chinese side lacks railway connections in Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang Province, as long as the northeast can use the original Russian Trans-Siberian Railway for logistical supply, which is also the reason why China has placed its armored forces in the Far East, and there is no way to use it in other directions.
No railway means that it is impossible to quickly transfer materials, and Russia is still an old power after all, and the domestic railway line is still better than China's.
Therefore, the Chinese side immediately responded positively to the request for peace talks issued by the Far Eastern Republic, and China advocated the convening of tripartite talks between China, Russia, and the Far Eastern Republic in the Nebuchu region to jointly agree on the border issue!
The location of the negotiations was chosen in Nebuchu, China's meaning is very clear, peace talks can be made, but this peace talks must be dominated by China, Nebuchu was once the place where Russia and the Qing Dynasty signed the first treaty, and now it will witness the end of Russia's deprivation of China's territory, as if it is a reincarnation, Russia's hundreds of years of expansion has returned to the original point!
After several disputes, Moscow finally agreed to China's demands, and they really can't fight anymore, they are not only an opponent of China, but also those countries in Europe regard Soviet Russia as a thorn in their side, and they hope that China can die with Russia!
The conspiracy of the imperialist countries must not be allowed to succeed, and peace must be restored to gain a respite for the nascent regime, which has become the supreme political task!
The representatives of the three countries gathered in Nebuchu, China, as the victor, also has its own considerations, China and Russia are two behemoths, and the two big countries will have a sense of insecurity when they are close to each other, and there must be a buffer zone, in the original history, it was China that took out this buffer zone, that is, Outer Mongolia, and now China has the upper hand, and it has become Russia that takes out the buffer zone, so China's goal is to recover all the lost territory, and then ensure a certain degree of reading power in the Far Eastern Republic, and avoid direct border between China and Russia!
