After the Foreign Legion entered Russia, there were more than 100 skirmishes, and not a single large-scale battle occurred. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Moscow Bolsheviks were still quite afraid of the fighting power of the Foreign Legion, and they wanted to crush Denikin's troops first, and then fight the Foreign Legion head-on.

In charge of the four divisions of the Foreign Legion were Liu Zizheng and Greif, who each led two divisions, and since they entered Russia, they have been horns of each other, and have always maintained a distance of about 20 kilometers and have been advancing northward, neither too far away, but not too close.

The two flanks of the Foreign Legion were the three divisions of the "Armed Forces of South Russia", which were under Denikin and consisted mainly of officers and men of the former Black Sea Fleet, non-commissioned officers, Don Cossacks, Caucasus regions, Ukrainian military districts and anti-Bolshevik "patriots".

In the current Russia, whether it is the Bolsheviks or the Provisional Government, they consider themselves to be "patriots" and the other side is "traitors".

Although Denikin's troops had undergone a period of "Entente-style" training and were equipped with Allied-backed weapons, in the eyes of the Foreign Legion, they were still a rabble, and their combat effectiveness was very limited.

Fortunately, the generals under Denikin are still self-aware, and they have no intention of fighting for dominance on the battlefield, that is, they lead the troops to cooperate with the Foreign Legion in battle, neither advancing nor retreating, and keeping pace with the Foreign Legion.

In this way, although Liu Zizheng and Chen Kangjian's progress is not fast, they are winning steadily, and although their progress is not very efficient, it is quite orderly.

At the same time that Denikin was attacking, Yudenich in Estonia and Kolchak in Omsk were also marching on Moscow, trying to capture Moscow, the heart of Russia, and completely strangle the nascent Russian Bolsheviks.

In the face of several attacks on the enemy, the Bolsheviks adopted a delaying plan against the "Armed Forces of South Russia" on the Southern Front and the Provisional Government on the Eastern Front, slowing down the pace of the offensive on these two fronts as much as possible, and concentrating their forces on the Western Front against Yudenich, intending to defeat this route first, and then to deal with the Southern and Eastern Fronts.

Well, it's better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers, and the Bolsheviks did not make a mistake in strategy.

Liu Zizheng and Griff discovered the intentions of the Bolsheviks, so they actively communicated with Denikin, wanting to speed up the offensive and capture Moscow as soon as possible to end the war.

Yes, in the opinion of Liu Zizheng and Griff, these Russian troops are not very strong in combat, and if they are accelerated, the Foreign Legion is fully capable of capturing Moscow before the Bolsheviks defeat Yudenich.

But in the face of Liu Zizheng and Grace's positivity, Denikin's response was a bit ambiguous.

Denikin insisted on attacking Moscow at the current pace, trying to avoid unnecessary losses due to the rash advance of the enemy.

Liu Zizheng and Griff were not stupid, they immediately understood what Denikin meant.

Denikin was killing people with a knife, allowing Yudenich to be defeated by the Bolsheviks' concentrated superior forces, and then Denikin and Kolchak would go to pick the fat peach of Moscow.

From this point of view, if the Bolsheviks had defeated Yudenich and continued to deal with Kolchak, then perhaps Denikin would not have adopted the plan of Liu Zizheng and Griff and continued to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger......

If Denikin really planned to do so, then Liu Zizheng and Griff would have to be prepared if the Foreign Legion was besieged by superior Bolshevik forces, but no one would come to the rescue.

Because if the Bolsheviks had defeated Yudenich and turned to Denikin, Kolchak might not have come to his aid.

That's right, the Russians are so ruthless, and the most extreme thing they drive out is that the front line is still fighting, and the rear is purging "suspicious" officers with combat experience.

Just one "suspicious" person will be detained and then shot on the spot without any interrogation, and the number of people can even reach tens of thousands.

This kind of behavior is really indescribable.

Seeing that the Provisional Government had not yet defeated the Bolsheviks, there were signs of infighting in order to distribute them after the victory, and Liu Zizheng and Greif could only advance northward step by step, because apart from these four divisions of the Foreign Legion, Liu Zizheng and Greeve could not trust any so-called "friendly forces" at present.

I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.

Even if the pace was deliberately slowed down, by mid-May the Foreign Legion was advancing to Omuel.

It is only 300 km from Moscow.

By this place, it was already considered to have entered the hinterland of Russia, and although it still did not encounter the main forces of the Bolsheviks, there were more and more partisans and volunteers of all kinds, and the Foreign Legion sometimes encountered more than ten small-scale attacks a day, which greatly slowed down the advance of the Foreign Legion.

If the original speed was a tortoise, then the current speed is a snail.

In fact, if the fight is released, the Foreign Legion can reach Moscow within a week.

From the moment it entered the territory of Russia, the terrain here is an endless plain, and the location of Moscow is in the middle of the Eastern European Plain, and there are no high mountains and no large rivers between Omuel and Moscow, which is very suitable for the advance of large-scale mechanized troops.

The Foreign Legion had a large number of tanks, and if Liu Zizheng and Greif were determined, their troops would have no problem advancing 50 kilometers a day.

And the current pace ......

Well, Liu Zizheng has been in a small village called Gelk for three whole days.

In the past three days, the troops only advanced five kilometers, and the command headquarters did not move at all.

But the scout unit is different, they don't have any restrictions, such as the squad led by Liu Shuangxi, their reconnaissance has reached the vicinity of Cherny, where it is a full 80 kilometers away from Omuel.

Oh, it's 80 kilometers north of Omuel.

"Eighty kilometres north from here, there's a river called the Oka River, which has a lot of water and is now in the middle of the spring flood season. We have reconnoitred along the river, and there is only one iron bridge for our tanks to pass through about seventy or eighty kilometers nearby, and if we can't control that bridge as soon as possible, it's hard to say whether the Russians will destroy her, so our task this time is to take that bridge and control her until our tank troops arrive. Liu Shuangxi introduced to Chen Yongsheng as he walked.

It's just been less than an hour since he was on the road, and Chen Yongsheng already understands why Liu Shuangxi and they are qualified to wear this dress. Chen Yongsheng thought that they had already carried a lot of things, but compared to the scouts, they were still a small thing.

The scouts' backpacks were almost a man tall, and they were full of stuff, apparently not bedding or anything like that, but ammunition supplies for various tools.

Even when the weight far exceeded that of Chen Yongshenglian, these soldiers wearing "camouflage uniforms" still looked quite relaxed, and they even had the spare strength to send out sharp soldiers.

In just an hour, Chen Yongsheng's subordinates were already out of breath, and many of them even stumbled a little under their feet, looking very embarrassed.

Even so, the scouts didn't mean to help.

Chen Yongsheng understands that those scouts, scouts may still have spare strength, but that should be reserved to deal with enemies that may appear at any time, and cannot be wasted on unnecessary consumption.

Well, if Chen Yongsheng's troops can't even keep up with the march, then helping them is indeed "useless attrition".

"In this case, should we ask for instructions first?" Chen Yongsheng couldn't understand Liu Shuangxi's way of thinking.

"We don't need to ask for instructions, we find that there is no need to report the opportunity, and we can decide for ourselves when and how to launch the attack." After Liu Shuangxi finished explaining, he looked at Chen Yongsheng and frowned slightly: "If you feel inappropriate, you can lead your people back now." In fact, you don't have many combat missions, mainly responsible for the defense behind, and if there are enemy reinforcements, we will be responsible for sniping. ”

"Go back? Let's not do that, my head has a big scar, I'm afraid of a ball......" Chen Yongsheng is determined.

"Okay, the credit for this time is yours." Liu Shuangxi is generous.

"That's not going to work, it's not appropriate." Chen Yongsheng resigned.

"You're welcome, we don't lack credit for that." Liu Shuangxi's words can choke people to death.

I'm in for a big hit!

Chen Yongsheng almost scolded.

"Did you hear that? Qin Ye has returned to Lanfang, and he is preparing for the enthronement ceremony on August 15, don't you want to go back and witness it with your own eyes? Liu Shuangxi didn't seem to care.

"it...... True...... It's true? This time Chen Yongsheng blurted out.

"Real money is so real, but according to the analysis of our progress speed, there is hope for us to go back on August 15 next year." Liu Shuangxi has his own little ninety-nine.

In the current Foreign Legion, there are still only two of them who have won the "Grand Cross Knight Title", Qin Zhiyuan and Liu Shuangxi, so Liu Shuangxi's status in the Foreign Legion is very special, even if Liu Shuangxi is still a sergeant major, Liu Shuangxi also has the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with Liu Zizheng and Grace.

The advance of the Foreign Legion like a turtle has long made Liu Shuangxi disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Shuangxi may not have the ability to determine the pace of this war, but Liu Shuangxi has the means to speed up this tempo.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, we must occupy Moscow before August 15, let's go back to Lanfang......" Chen Yongsheng was in a hurry, didn't care about hiding his tracks, and began to shout at the top of his voice.

"August 15 is October 8th, if we take into account the fatigue of this journey, then we will at least return to Lanfang in early August, even if it is only until mid-August, we will not be able to catch up." Liu Shuangxi did not forget the conversion of the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar, reminding Chen Yongsheng to have a greater sense of urgency.

", hurry up, hurry up, ......" This time without Liu Shuangxi's urging, Chen Yongsheng was more anxious than anyone else.

That's right, Qin Zhiyuan is indeed preparing to ascend the throne on August 15.
