Chapter 789 - Hold your ground
Originally, it was a matter of nine out of ten, but who would have expected that after Zuo Zongtang's bloody bath in Ganshan, it would become as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The local Han people have been allocated land, which village comes out clearly, and the new immigrants are all registered, all of them are busy in the fields, the population of Ganshan is not much, you say that you are a stranger wandering around, this is the word spy written on the face, how can it not arouse suspicion?
Bai Huyan sent hundreds of people out, but none of them came back, and as for those Kazakhs, Turks, Russians, Yarkands, Kirgiz, Tajiks, and Uzbeks, they looked different from the Chinese, and they were killed directly when they came in.
This makes it difficult for intelligence outside Xinjiang to come in, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops and rebels from all walks of life don't know anything about the situation outside, Kaufman is extremely annoyed, this time he saw Bai Huyan and he looked like he was spitting away, he immediately pushed away the Han girl, and said angrily: "Ayub, how did you guarantee when you were desperate and came to me?" And now? You eat me, you drink me, you have Russian-made weapons, but what do you pay for? You are the Russians who run charities, don't you? ”
"Plop!" Bai Huyan knelt down on the spot in fright, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Lord Governor, I really didn't expect the little one."
Kaufman immediately interrupted impatiently: "Don't complain to me, in our Russia, what you promise others must be done, otherwise, you will be spurned by public opinion, and his end will only be suicide, so we Russians are trustworthy, now, you have joined the Russian nationality, you must get used to restraining yourself by the standard of a Russian, and you must cherish the honor of being a Russian, today is September 24th." I hope that before the end of the year, you will bring me good news, you go out and prepare. ”
"Yes!" Bai Huyan was full of bitterness, the main force of the Democratic Alliance Army had already arrived in Hami, and he heard that a large number of refugees were pouring into Urumqi. In today's Hami realm, I am afraid that apart from the army and the women who have been robbed, there is no aboriginal in sight.
Xinjiang is different from the mainland, the mainland is in a hurry, you can go up to the mountains to fight guerrillas, and become the king of the mountains, but you go to the mountains of Xinjiang to fight guerrillas? Before he was surrounded and suppressed by the Democratic Alliance Army, he either starved to death or froze to death first. If you don't want to be killed, you can only abandon your family and property and become a refugee.
Bai Huyan didn't understand why Wang Feng had so much hatred for the Bai Bai Sect, compared to the Qing court, he was as compassionate as a bodhisattva, although Bai Min killed a lot of Han people in the conflict, but in the final analysis, he was still oppressed. I can't bear it.
He also didn't understand who the White Sect was recruiting and provoking whom. On the European side, the war between Christianity and Baibaijiao lasted for thousands of years, and here in China, before he became the emperor, Wang Feng raised a butcher's knife against Baibaijiao, and then the butcher Zuo Zongtang cooperated. It's a double evil!
'God, can you tell me why?' Bai Huyan roared inwardly, but he didn't dare to take Kaufman's ultimatum seriously, and if it turned out that his gang was useless, Kaufman would clean it up like garbage. The Russians are very realistic, they will never raise a waste, of course, they will be open to beautiful women.
Obviously, it will not work to go from the north, so the only way to go is to go from the south, out of Aksai Chin, sneak into Tibet, and then find a way to blend into the interior.
To tell the truth, the situation in southern Xinjiang is much more chaotic than in northern Xinjiang, especially the murderous demon king Agu Bai occupies Kashgar, although he also believes in the White Religion, but the internal tearing of the White Religion is also very powerful, those curly devils don't care whether you can recite the White Scriptures or not, see that you are not pleasing to the eye, the same killing!
Kashgar is the only way to enter Aksai Chin, this road is not open in other places, you can go another way, but Xinjiang is different, if you want to bypass Kashgar, you can only cross the more terrifying Taklamakan Desert!
If it was possible, Bai Huyan would never want to enter the southern frontier, but he had no choice but to risk taking the risk of taking the territory of Agubai.
Gritting his teeth, Bai Huyan turned and left.
Kaufman beckoned to the side: "General Igerchenav, I hope you can personally go to Kulen and ask those Mongol princes to cooperate with our military operations, they should understand." ”
Igerchenav is about thirty years old, with the rank of major general, similar to the experience of Murajoviv who was burned to death by lighting a sky lantern, he was promoted step by step from a nobody, and fought a career in the bloody storm, and was a famous young officer in the Russian army, and was once compared with Murajoviv.
"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor! Igchenave didn't talk nonsense, saluted the military salute, and walked out
According to Bai Huyan, the Democratic Alliance army will attack as soon as possible, and Kaufman is also ready, deploying layers of defense lines, and greeting all the large and small forces in southern Xinjiang.
In fact, everyone knows that these 50,000 people are cannon fodder for Russia, but they dare not speak out, after all, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, too terrifying, to say something ugly, if the Chinese come in, the Russians can still run, they have nowhere to run, that place in Central Asia, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Britain are all fighting, with a small tribe like them, can only rely on one side, the result is still the life of cannon fodder.
The difference is only that some people are cannon fodder or the whole clan is cannon fodder.
So even the most unruly Agubo obediently allowed the Russians to pick 15,000 elites to be cannon fodder.
The Russian army entered Xinjiang from two directions at the same time, but most of them were deployed in northern Xinjiang, because southern Xinjiang is not as rich as northern Xinjiang, and the road is more difficult to walk.
Now there are about 350,000 Russian troops in Urumqi, plus the servant armies of the three Central Asian countries and the cannon fodder army of the local armed forces in Xinjiang, the total number is about 450,000, distributed between Turpan and Urumqi, and each line of defense is defended by the Russian army with the servant army and the cannon fodder army.
Soon, October came, the Democratic Alliance did not attack, you know, although October is still in autumn, but only the cold air to the south, the temperature will drop to below zero in a short time, on October 21, the first snow of the year fell in northern Xinjiang.
By November, Xinjiang had really entered winter, but the Democratic Alliance had not yet arrived, and more than 200,000 people were distributed in several strategic nodes in Hami, and there was no intention of attacking at all.
Kaufman, who was still there at first, was a little uneasy, and in battle, especially in large legions, it is very important to figure out the opponent's goal, and good tactical use can often make up for the lack of equipment or numbers.
However, he could not see through the intentions of the Democratic Alliance Army, and saw that it was already winter, and if the Democratic Alliance Army remained still, then his plan to fight the Chinese army in the winter would not be realized, and the Russians' cold-tolerant advantage would not be able to be brought into play.
