In a col a few kilometers west of Ufa City, the headquarters of the coalition army of Ufa City has been moved here from the city, surrounded by many fortifications, and the headquarters of the coalition forces is located in an underground tunnel, after all, the army of the Chinese Empire has entered the city of Ufa, and it will be very dangerous for the command to continue to stay in the city.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning on January 1, 1909, the heavy snowstorm in the vicinity of Ufa City continued, and the commanders of the allied forces in Ufa City gathered in the headquarters of the underground tunnels at this time. Feng? Hindenburg, such as a heavy load, said to the army commanders of the other 6 countries: "This sudden blizzard, all of a sudden made the Chinese Imperial army stop attacking, but also let us breathe a sigh of relief, we can temporarily relieve, such a big snowstorm makes the Chinese Imperial Empire's fighters unable to rise into the air to fight, the Chinese Imperial army has no air superiority, it is impossible to completely occupy the city of Ufa, it seems that they will not even attack, I brought the generals here, is to study what our coalition forces should do next?" What kind of strategy should we adopt? Did you take advantage of the fact that the fighters of the Chinese Empire could not take off into the air, and brave the snowstorm to launch a counterattack against the Chinese Empire's army? ”

After 20 days of fierce fighting, although the allied forces of the Entente and the Central Powers desperately blocked the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army in the city of Ufa, the price paid was also heavy, with more than 2 million killed, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers wounded, and heavy equipment also lost a lot. The 15-kilometer-deep positions carefully built by the coalition forces to the east of the city of Ufa were all captured by the troops of the Chinese Empire. Even the city of Ufa was occupied by the troops of the Chinese Empire.

The Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire was very dissatisfied with the results achieved in 20 days, but the coalition forces were terrified of the attack power of the Imperial Chinese Army. You must know that the coalition army is a heavy gathering of troops here in Ufa City, in addition to the 1.6 million elite troops used by the two surprise troops, the coalition forces are still more than 5.4 million troops used to defend Ufa City and positions outside the city, including more than 400,000 new troops reinforced by the Russian Army to Ufa City after the war, so that the Entente and the Central Powers have invested as much as 7 million troops in the battle of Ufa City.

At present, the coalition forces have less than 3.2 million troops in the positions in the west, south, and north directions inside and outside the city, including hundreds of thousands of lightly wounded, so that the army of the Chinese Empire can continue to attack. It is possible that before the 2 odd forces have played their role, the coalition forces in Ufa City will collapse due to huge casualties.

The Chinese Imperial Army, which has absolute air superiority, is too strong in attack, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, General Paul of the German Army? Feng? Hindenburg even began to consider whether to send the 1 million reserves reserved in the west and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, after all, if even the city of Ufa was lost, everything left would be a castle in the water.

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hindenburg has been under great pressure in the past 20 days, and the other 6 army commanders are not at ease, after all, 20 days of fierce fighting. The troops of all countries have suffered great losses, but the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army has not weakened at all, and if it continues like this, I really don't know if the city of Ufa can be defended.

Thankfully, the moment came. God forbid, a sudden blizzard came and stopped the offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army. It also gave the coalition troops guarding the city of Ufa a breather.

French Army General Joyce got up from his chair and said with some excitement: "This blizzard is too timely, the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force." In such weather, it is impossible to rise into the air to fight, and I think our coalition forces should seize this opportunity. The Chinese Imperial Army launched a counterattack during the day, and did not stop attacking at night, we can let the troops take turns to launch a counterattack 24 hours a day, this is God's opportunity for the Entente and the Central Powers! We, the French Army, are willing to be at the vanguard of the counterattack! ”

The French Army gathered 1.11 million troops in Ufa City, in these 20 days of fierce fighting, the French Army as one of the main forces of the coalition army, the number of dead exceeded 300,000, as the commander of the French Army in Ufa City, Joyls is definitely distressed like a knife, but Joyls knows that if you want to block the Chinese Imperial Army with strong combat effectiveness, it is impossible without sacrifice, and now this blizzard makes Joyles see the opportunity to defeat the Chinese Imperial Army, and he doesn't mind letting the French Army continue to sacrifice, As long as the millions of main forces of the Imperial Chinese Army here in Ufa City can be completely defeated, all the sacrifices will be worth it.

British Army General Jersunsk frowned at this time and said: "The intensity of this snowstorm is very large, and the temperature outside has plummeted a lot, almost close to minus 40 degrees. The blizzard has not stopped, not only is the wind and snow thick outside, but also the visibility is also low, you can imagine what kind of difficulties it will bring to the attacking troops, isn't it precisely because of these difficulties that we did not send troops to launch a counterattack against the Chinese Imperial Army entrenched in the city of Ufa last night! ”

Dersunsk's face is not very good, the British Army has gathered 370,000 troops here in Ufa City, these 370,000 are all British regular troops, after 20 days of fierce fighting, more than 100,000 have been lost, which is enough for the British who have few regular troops, enough for them to have heartache for a long time, and the battle of Ufa City is not over, Dersunsk really doesn't know how many troops he has left in his hands in the end.

French Army General Joyles continued: "In such a big blizzard, it is indeed quite difficult for the troops to launch a counterattack, but we must see that the army of the Chinese Empire has lost strong air support in the blizzard, which is the most beneficial aspect for our counterattack troops, and I think we can even send 1 million reserves to join the counterattack, maybe we will take advantage of this blizzard given by God to completely defeat the Chinese Imperial army attacking the city of Ufa." ”

Russian Army General Sonokopsky also said: "I also think that we should take advantage of the fact that the fighters of the Chinese Empire cannot rise into the air to fight, and send troops to launch a counterattack, although the blizzard will cause great trouble for our counterattack troops." But at the same time, it would be difficult for the defending Chinese Imperial Army. If the blizzard stops, the Chinese Empire's armies will return to their attacking rhythm. Relying on absolute air superiority to devour the city of Ufa little by little, the blizzard is an opportunity that we should not let go. ”

The Russian Army plus more than 400,000 new troops who arrived here after the outbreak of the Battle of Ufa City means that the Russians have sent more than 2.8 million troops in this battle, and in the 20 days of fierce fighting, the Russian Army suffered the greatest losses, with as many as 800,000 casualties alone, but the Russian General Sonokopsky did not feel distressed. There was even some excitement that the powerful Chinese Imperial Army was finally blocked here in the city of Ufa, and Tsar Nicholas II also sent a telegram of commendation to Admiral Sonokopsky, and Tsar Nicholas II also promised that if the battle of Ufa City could be won, Tsar Nicholas II would award Field Marshal Sonokopsky.

O marshal! That was the dream of all professional soldiers, and Sonokopski was thrilled at the thought of it, as long as he could defeat the army of the Chinese Empire, the title of marshal would be within his reach. Isn't the current blizzard blowing outside an opportunity to defeat the Chinese Imperial Army, so Sonokopski strongly advocated taking advantage of the blizzard to launch an all-out counterattack against the Chinese Imperial Army.

British Army General Jersunsk hesitated for a moment and said: "If everyone agrees to take advantage of the blizzard to launch a counterattack, I will not object." But I hope to bring in 1 million reserves, as well as the tank, armoured and artillery units that remain to the west, to join the counterattack. ”

The 1 million reserve was made up of the German, French and Russian armies and was now going to launch a massive counterattack. It is likely to be the key to the final victory or defeat of the Battle of Ufa City, and at this time, you are the 3 countries that are the main force in the Battle of Ufa City. Don't hide it, hurry up and get those elite million-strong army!

Italian Army General Hannaverde, Austro-Hungarian Army General Gloria, and Ottoman Turkish Army General Bagirja look at each other. They all agreed to take advantage of the blizzard to launch a counterattack against the Chinese Imperial Army, and the armies of the three countries would fully cooperate with this large-scale counterattack, provided that 1 million reserves also joined the decisive counterattack.

The armies of these three countries suffered considerable losses in the 20-day offensive and defensive battles, and the Italian army had lost nearly 100,000 of the 360,000 troops sent to Ufa City. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had gathered 590,000 army troops in Ufa City, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire had concentrated 530,000 army troops in Ufa City, and now both countries have lost nearly 200,000 troops.

However, at this time, everyone knew that the seven countries of the Entente and the Central Powers, in the face of the Chinese Empire, were already tied to the same boat, and now everyone had to exert all their strength to prevent this ship from sinking.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hindenburg, nodded and said: "Everyone's opinion is the same as mine, I also think that we should take advantage of the coming of the snowstorm to attack the army of the Chinese Empire, this snowstorm does not know how long it will blow, we must hurry up and launch an attack as soon as possible, I will order the 1 million reserves in the west to rush to Ufa City and join the counterattack, and at the same time I will order the 600,000 troops that move to the vicinity of the city of Zwutoust at the foot of the Ural Mountains to start an attack on the city of Zwutoust, Cut off the rear route of the Chinese Imperial Army. ”

Then Hindenburg looked at his watch and continued: "It's 8:15 a.m., we have 4 hours to prepare, and at 12:15 p.m. today, we will launch a counterattack against the Chinese Imperial Army, and in addition to the 1 million reserves, I will also send a large number of troops to counterattack together, and strive to defeat the more than 1 million Chinese Imperial troops here in Ufa City, then all of us here will become heroes of the whole of Europe." ”

After the agreement of the seven army commanders of the Entente and the Central Powers, the coalition forces of the entire Ufa City began to act, and the army units of various countries that were drawn to join the counterattack began to assemble in Ufa City, and the coalition forces will simultaneously launch a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese Imperial Army entrenched in Ufa City, as well as from the south and north of the outside of Ufa City, to the positions occupied by the Chinese Empire in the east of Ufa City.

However, in this kind of extremely blizzardy weather, it is not so easy to carry out a large-scale counterattack, and the troops of the Entente and the Central Powers have encountered a lot of trouble before they have launched an attack.

The 1 million elite troops of the coalition army on standby in the west of Ufa City have thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, but because of the blizzard, the temperature has plummeted, and the engines of many tanks and armored vehicles have been frozen and damaged, and they can not be driven directly, and less than one-third of the tanks and armored vehicles can reach the front line, and even the sights of the coalition artillery are frozen, so that many of the coalition artillery cannot be aimed.

After all, Ufa City is a battlefield, and most of the sleeping places cannot withstand the severe cold, and some coalition officers and soldiers never wake up after sleeping in the air-raid shelter, especially the wounded soldiers of the coalition army, and more than 10,000 seriously wounded soldiers were frozen to death in one night.

The 600,000 elite troops of the coalition army who moved to the vicinity of the city of Zwutoust at the foot of the Ural Mountains were even more miserable, they spent the night in the forests of the Ural Mountains, and when they received an order from the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces on January 1, Hindenburg, they found that at least tens of thousands of people had frozen to death and frostbite last night, and they could not even pull the bolts of many rifles.

However, the arrow had to be fired, and since it had been decided to launch a counterattack, no matter how difficult it was, it was necessary to overcome it, and in accordance with the orders of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Hindenburg, the coalition forces began to advance to the designated positions, preparing for a large-scale counterattack against the Chinese Imperial army in Ufa City, which could determine the outcome of the battle.

Such a big move of the coalition army, it is impossible for the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire here in Ufa City not to be aware of it, and when it was discovered that the coalition army in Ufa City had carried out a large-scale mobilization in the snowstorm, they immediately understood what the coalition army was going to do, so the commanders of the main force of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire here in Ufa City also quickly dispatched troops to prepare for the attack of the coalition army.
