Chapter 38: The Lifeblood of Logistics (3)

As the sky began to lighten, the gunfire had stopped, and the green smoke curled in the open space where the sleepers were stacked, and the embers had not dispersed.

Dozens of corpses lay on the snow, all knocked down as they rushed forward.

Long Yun, who had palpitations, stood in front of a corpse, stretched out his hand and flipped it a few times, it was a skinny man, who looked like he was caused by malnutrition. On his withered hands, he clutched his bayonet-mounted rifle tightly, and his fur coat was covered with stains. Because of hunger, my arm was a little swollen, and I sank into a socket with a light press of my fingers.

These people are dressed in a mess, and they are clearly guerrillas. From the point of view of the regular army, these people are a rabble, but just last night they left nearly a hundred corpses, which were set alive in one of the two piles of sleepers. If Liu Zheng hadn't discovered it in time, there would have been no one left of the more than 500 sleepers stored here.

The most terrifying thing is that behind a snowdrift, there are still more than a dozen corpses, these people are not unable to leave after completing the ignition task, but they did not run, they stayed to continue to block and prevent the garrison company from fighting the fire.

Tata Tower, the crisp sound of horses' hooves interrupted Long Yun's observation, and when he looked up and saw that it was Liu Zheng, Long Yun hurriedly asked, "How is the situation outside?" Liu Zheng said with a solemn face: "The guerrillas have gone far, and we don't dare to chase too far, they still have hundreds of cavalry." One hundred and forty-five corpses were left outside, and these people were outlaws. It seems that one by one malnourished, how can they fight so hard? Like a brainwashed cultist. Damn, our casualties were not small, twelve brothers were killed in battle, and thirty-four were seriously and lightly wounded. Three Maxim machine guns were destroyed, and these men, like madmen, rushed to the machine gun position with explosive packets. His body was sieveed, but he still rushed to the front. ”

When Li Daxiong got the battle report, he was a little surprised, walked into Qi Zhenghong's headquarters quickly, handed over the telegram and said: "Old Qi, last night the No. 4 transfer station was attacked on a large scale, causing dozens of brothers to be killed and wounded, but they didn't please them, leaving more than 200 corpses. Ran before dawn. ”

"Is the material loss big? There is no doubt that these people are running for supplies. Qi Zhenghong made a judgment at the first time, and in the past month, there have been more than a dozen attacks of various scales, each of which was for the purpose of arson.

"More than 200 sleepers were burned, and the other losses were not significant. It seems that it is necessary to clean up the situation in a targeted manner. Counting on White Russia is definitely not going to work. Li Daxiong was a little irritable in his heart, although the White Russian army was being reorganized, its morale was low and the fighting was low. Fighting side by side with this kind of teammate is really bottomless.

Xu Youzheng sent out all the armored trains that could be transferred, and it would take no accident to achieve the defensive thickness of an armored train of 50 kilometers in a week at most. Soviet Russia made a big fuss about the railways. There must have been a big move. Inform Kolchak that the second-line defensive positions will be handed over to us, and try to stretch the depth a little longer. During World War I, the Germans suffered from insufficient defensive depth on the Somme. Almost collapsed across the board. If it weren't for the backward tactics of the Anglo-French forces, the Germans would not have been able to withstand it. Qi Zhenghong also frowned, and when he arrived in Novosibirsk, he realized how unreliable the White Russian army was. Now it's time for the war. There are no more than four infantry divisions of the Russian army that can go up, and the main force of them is still the infantry corps of Delikov.

"When Kolchak was withdrawn from Omsk. The fleeing nobles alone brought seven or eight thousand people, and the total number of combat troops was no more than thirty thousand. This can still escape, I heard that the Soviet Russian army does not need any reason to kill the noble roots. When Li Daxiong mentioned this, a sneer of disdain hung on the corner of his mouth, especially these Russian nobles, who were miserable when they fled, and finally settled down, in Novosibirsk, a small place, and actually had the heart to engage in some extravagant drinking party.

"By the way, I won't stop you from engaging in a White Russian woman, it's not okay to delay the military." Qi Zhenghong rarely made a joke, Li Daxiong's face was not red, and he said with a smile: "A few White Russian aristocratic women took the initiative to post it, asking for some bread, liquor, canned food, and perfume, all of which are used for some banquets." ”

Qi Zhenghong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "White Russia is really finished, don't talk about this, after finishing with the White Russian woman in the future, remember to wash it, there is a smell of inferior perfume on your body." ”

Li Daxiong whistled with a smile, pretended to be relaxed, and said goodbye and returned to his temporary residence outside the barracks. Look at the watch, it's still early, eight o'clock in the morning, the damned guerrillas are really harmful. Pushing open the bedroom door, a white Russian girl on the bed was in a daze around the quilt, and when she heard the movement, she looked up in surprise and saw that it was Li Daxiong who came in, and her face was flushed.

"Li, that medicine works very well, can you give me a few more injections?" When the girl spoke, the quilt slipped off, revealing two towers with good elasticity, and she wanted to reach out and pull the quilt to block it, but Li Daxiong's gaze swept over and made her give up this move unabashedly.

"No problem! Anna, I'll all go to China with your family, and it's estimated that there will be a war here. "Li Daxiong, who is very lame in Russian, really didn't have a conscience, Anna got it at a drinking party a month ago, and at first thought it was a slut, but when she finished it, she found blood stains on the sheets, and when she inquired about it, the woman had just turned sixteen. In fact, as Qi Zhenghong said, Anna is Li Daxiong's only opposite-sex partner in Novosibirsk.

"I'm gone, what are you going to do? Those women are dirty, give a few loaves of bread and you can go to bed, I don't want to ....... Saying this, Anna lowered her head and bit her red lip lightly. The man in front of him is more responsible than those nobles. Anna's father was wounded on the way to escape, and the wound was so inflamed that the high fever did not go away, and no medicine worked. Later, when she heard that the Chinese had a special medicine in their hands, Anna took the initiative to hook up with Li Daxiong, a man who was said to be a general. After finishing the work, I really got her a few injections of special medicine, and the effect was very good after using it. In Anna's mind, this man was very generous, and the medicine that could cure such a severe illness in this year was more expensive than gold, not to mention that this man also gave a lot of bread and canned food, so that her family would not starve, and her mother would not have to work so hard to wash people's clothes, and she would not have to go to the tavern to help and endure the molestation of men.

"If you want to stay, you can stay, get a military uniform and put it on, you go to the field hospital to help, and you have a salary of fifty yuan a month." Li Daxiong said and took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to a girl: "Take it, make travel expenses for your family, and it will cost you to get to China." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still took the money and said, "I know that you have a wife at home, and I can be your lover." ”

Li Daxiong was stunned for a moment and said, "Who sued you that I have a wife at home?" ”

Anna said: "Aren't Chinese married early?" Li Daxiong smiled slightly, without meaning to explain. In fact, Li Daxiong really didn't have a family, he stayed in the army all these years, although he went home to visit relatives, and his family also told him about family affairs. But Li Daxiong really doesn't have a good impression of the marriage partner he has never met. How so? Now there are many new trends of thought, and things like freedom and emancipation of the mind have been affected to some extent. For arranged marriages, Li Daxiong is still very resistant. Especially in the past, Li Daxiong's family was an ordinary family, at that time, being a soldier and eating food was very looked down upon, how could the daughter of a good family marry her? If you hadn't joined the teaching team, there would have been no future. When he was in the Anhui New Army, Li Daxiong was a small shack and the target of bullying by higher-level officers. Later, I mixed it up, and I learned badly with the veterans, and the frequent visitors to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion looked down on those conservative women even more, and felt that it was not interesting.

After mixing for many years, I suddenly got a pure Russian girl, and all kinds of difficult actions that I obeyed were all done, and Li Daxiong didn't have anything at the beginning, and I got along for a long time, and the infatuation of the innocent girl was different from the scene on the Fengyue field, and gradually I took this girl seriously.

"By the way, what do you want that injection for?" Li Daxiong walked to the side of the bed, hugged the girl with one hand, and swam in the full and upright with the other. Uh-huh, the low moan, the snort gradually thickened, and the girl said: "It's nothing, it's just a good friend who gets his father's wound inflamed, and no medicine works, just like my father." ”

The entire circle of White Russia in Novosibirsk exuded a kind of decadence and malaise, and the aristocracy continued to live a drunken life as soon as they settled down. In this circle, the lieutenants belong to the most popular group, and some of the local leather girls are also the most willing to do the business of Chinese soldiers. Maybe it's a bottle of wine, maybe it's a few loaves of bread, a few bags of instant noodles, a few cans, and then you can complete a deal.

The vastness of Siberia means a long supply line, and for the Chinese Volunteers, the Trans-Siberian Railway is undoubtedly the lifeblood of the whole army. In early April 1920, attacks on the railway line became more frequent. Although the squadron increased its vigilance, it still could not completely solve the scattered stragglers scattered in the boundless fields.

Omsk, the command of the Far Eastern Army of the Red Army.

"What? Abandonment of offensive plans? What's going on? I've been preparing for the winter. Frunze thought that he had misheard, but Comrade Stalin, who came to convey the order, told him with great certainty: "Yes, the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU is that the Polish White Bandits have invaded the great Motherland, and we will first destroy the Polish White Army, and then turn around and destroy the remnants of White Russia." ”

On April 5, 1920, the Polish White Army, instigated by the Entente powers, repeatedly rejected the proposal of the Soviet Russian government to settle the dispute between the two countries through peaceful negotiations, and launched an attack on Soviet Russia. At this time, the Soviet-Polish war was advanced by a full ten days.
