Chapter 145: Snow Battle (4)
"Turn around! Hurry up! Timur decisively gave the order.
Originally, I wanted to rest and recuperate before going to the infantry regiment in charge of supply, but now it seems that I am really sorry for myself if I don't take them.
It was still a carriage transporting supplies, but with the surrender troops in front, and the White Russian army wearing the clothes of the People's Revolutionary Army in the back, entered this laxly guarded barracks, and opened the camp gate by fraud, then the next step was to attack the inside and outside.
When the defenders in the camp saw the surrounding mountains and fields full of black oppressive Outer Mongolian troops, their little faces turned white with fright. If you want to close the door, then I'm sorry, it's easy to open the door, but it's hard to close the door!
The power of the tactics of the sea of people is not in vain, when the mountains are full of black-clothed Mongolian troops, like a black tide, the momentum of rushing towards the camp This isolated island in the sea scared many recruits, so far this scene has also become their nightmare.
As a result, in just two days, the three regiments of the Russian army were completely annihilated, and all Soviet Russian military forces in northern Outer Mongolia had been wiped out, except for the garrisons in the two cities of Ulan-Ude and Chita, and the infantry regiment of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic, which was guarding Chita.
After all, the goal of the Far Eastern Republic is Japan, and most of the military power is pressed there. If it weren't for the fact that Chita is the capital of the Far Eastern Republics, it is estimated that even these forces would not have been equipped. As for the poor jingle of Outer Mongolia, the leaders of the Far Eastern Republic never took it to heart. There's a Fifth Army there! Therefore, except for a main regiment that can fight, the rest of the troops in the entire region are second- and third-rate troops, which are enough to suppress the remnants of the White Russian bandits.
"Happy!" When Timur reported the detailed battle situation to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun couldn't help but shout loudly.
As soon as this battle was fought, the Soviet Russian army in Outer Mongolia had a hard time. As long as their supplies are cut off, half of their strength can be wasted. If you fight a saber, then the swords of the Mongolian cavalry are not vegetarian.
However, Timur also sent instructions for the next military operation.
Now there are three directions to choose from, the first is Chita, which is the capital of the Far Eastern Republic, as long as the reinforcements from the east of the Far Eastern Republic arrive and capture it, then the prestige of the three barons in the Far East will not increase considerably, they will no longer be small White Russian bandits, but can set up banners, recruit troops, and upgrade to White Russian warlords. So all three barons are in favor of hitting here first.
The second direction is Ulan-Ude, where there are all the materials that have entered the Soviet Russian army in Outer Mongolia, and there are a lot of guns, bullets, and food. More importantly, except for the hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled garrisons, it can be said that this place is unguarded.
The third direction is the buying and selling city, as long as this city is conquered, it will be a chrysanthemum stabbing the Outer Mongolian dispatch army of the Fifth Army. At that time, as soon as the army of Outer Mongolia is dispatched, it will be easy to drive the Fifth Army's Outer Mongolian dispatch out of Outer Mongolia. Several Mongol generals supported this plan.
There is also the question of how to deal with the Trans-Siberian Railway, which was opened to traffic in 1916 and runs through the entire east and west of Russia. Chita is an important hub of the railway, southeast to the border town of Gobaikalsk, and to Manzhouli in China.
Both the Russian army in the Far East and the Russian army in Chelyabinsk, Omsk, and Novosibirsk in the west can quickly reach Chita via this line.
"Blow it up!" It would be a scourge to keep this railway, as long as it remained, then Soviet and Russian reinforcements from all over the country could come in a steady stream, even if Chita was conquered, it would be useless.
As a result, transport planes in various places suspended the delivery of goods, and all of them were transferred from various places to Outer Mongolia. That night, all the bombers took off from the airfields in Outer Mongolia and dropped bombs on the Chita-Siberian railway.
The ten-day railroad bombardment began.
Of course, the time of the bombing was set at night, and if so many planes were seen during the day, it was estimated that Soviet Russia would abandon the Japanese in the Far East and go directly to Outer Mongolia to settle accounts.
And the dark night is still the best cover, when the bombing is over, the Soviet Russia still has not been able to determine the number of bombers.
The planes of the Far Eastern Republic, except for the second day of the bombing, showed off their sluggish speed in the sky, and on the third night they were bombed by the bomber formation, including the hangar and the runway.
It took ten days of hard work, and more than 100 planes were dispatched every night to blow up this section of the railway, and it was not necessary to think about opening it to traffic in a few months.
The effect of such bombing was very surprising to the Soviet and Russian leaders in the Far East, but the occasional "accidental" drop from the plane with pieces of paper written in Japanese made the Soviet Russian top brass believe that this was a Japanese conspiracy. Ay! Who made them always play conspiracy before! Let Lao Maozi think of them first.
With this time of bombing, the White Russian army and the Outer Mongolian army also seized the time to collect prisoners.
The three barons drew a lot of people from the captives, after all, there were also many White Russian veterans in these People's Revolutionary Army, and these people surrendered, and the three barons were also easy to establish their prestige. So their ranks reached 1,200 people again.
The rest of the captives were escorted to a secret airfield in the Yablonov Mountains and transported back to the Outer Mongolian camp to undergo re-education through labor.
The population of Outer Mongolia is really small, and the people transported from Jiangnan cannot adapt to the weather here, so they can only choose these captives who adapt to the local weather.
After a period of training, they were reorganized into an army and placed under the command of Commander Rokossovsky.
However, some people stayed, because for a special reason, they are Chinese.
There are Chinese in the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far East!
When he heard the news, Zhao Yun's first reaction was ridiculous! When did there be an army of the Huaxia State there?
But after repeated confirmation, it is indeed a Chinese person! That accent is by no means the second generation of overseas Chinese, but an authentic Chinese, and the number of captives this time is quite large, more than 400 people.
From their mouths, it was learned that in the Far Eastern Republic, there were many Chinese merchants engaged in trading activities. The large cities of Siberia and the Far Eastern Republic (Blagoveshchensk, Khabarovsk, Verkhniy Udinsk, Sledensk, Nerchensk, Vladivostok, Iman, Spask and other cities) have Chinese chambers of commerce, which guarantee the interests of merchants. Due to the chaos in this place, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has its own police, schools, and so on. After many coordinations, the government of the Far Eastern Republic allowed the armed security units of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce to be transferred to the police department of the Far Eastern Republic. They are free to move around the neighborhoods, but they do not have the right to arbitrarily arrest and search for Chinese and Russians.
This time they were the same regiment that was sent to transport supplies, so they were captured. Most of these people are brave and ruthless, otherwise they would not dare to come to this old Maozi's exile land. With these local connections, Zhao Yun had the idea of forming another servant army.
But at present, they are all assigned to the commander of Rokossovsky, after all, there are not many troops in the Far East at present, and they can be used to do things.
The first task given to them was to bail out a captive on personal sure. Chinese people have always liked to call friends, as the so-called relying on parents at home and relying on friends when going out. How could there be no friends and friends when they came here, looking at the same captives just now, now they are not only free but also bail others, and the eyes of all the captives showed eagerness.
Who knows how this team dealt with the prisoners, and it was not for nothing that the Soviet army indiscriminately killed prisoners, and now there is a way out, and everyone wants to live.
Not long after, more than 400 people were assigned to the head of the regiment Rokossovsky.
An army of nine hundred servants was formed.
With such a selection method, the three barons who watched it were stunned, it turned out that the prisoners could still be like this!
The combat strength of the team incorporated in this method is not guaranteed, but it is definitely no problem to escort prisoners and carry materials. Moreover, with the hope of life, their motivation to work is much higher than that of ordinary captives.
Cleaning up the battlefield and packing up things, Zhao Yun chose an inconspicuous place for them.
305 kilometers east of Chita, an important town in the Russian Far East, there is a small Siberian city of Nerchensk, which is as ordinary as dust. This Russian place name may be unfamiliar to the Chinese, but it also has a name, Nebuchu.
The three barons were puzzled by this order, and even several Mongol generals also complained. But when Timur told them that there was a Bunking, everyone's eyes were as bright as stars.
The palace was owned by a noble Buguin, who built a music school, a pharmacy, a printing house and a bath in the city around 1870, and donated all his property to the local city government after his death. The Palazzo Bujing was his former residence, with its elegant fireplace, spiraling staircase, beautiful parquet floor, large stained glass paintings, and the world's largest mirror, which was bought back from Paris at the time. The palace also has a concert hall, a family museum, and a library with 30,000 volumes.
In order to ambush the Soviet Russian army, several leaders of the White Russian and Outer Mongolian armies who had been in the mountain nest for a long time were itching all over their bodies when they heard the word "bath".
If it is to occupy the palace of a Russian nobleman, then the three barons who are also Russian nobles will have some small pimples in their hearts, how can Lao Tzu say that they are also nobles, not bandits, demeanor, demeanor, this must be maintained. However, to occupy a palace that has been given to the local city government and belongs to public property is completely natural and justified.
As a nobleman, I haven't drunk a cup of coffee elegantly for more than a year, think about the red wine of the Podol region, if you don't go, you really abuse yourself!
If you choose to attack Chita and other big cities first, the conditions there are not bad, but the casualties will definitely be not small. It's better to take your men down and have some fun first, as a reward for this battle. The next time you fight, your men will be more courageous.
It was also a good choice to go to Nebuchu to rest and recuperate, and the three barons immediately agreed to this plan at the first time.
The three most resistant people all agreed, and the other Mongolian leaders who came to make soy sauce were even more overjoyed. Therefore, after Timur explained the situation, he immediately passed the whole ticket.
