Receiving the order of the platoon commander, the two squad leaders walked to the carriage at the front of the transport team, ready to check the goods in the carriage, "Stop!" Examine! ”。

However, before the city guards could make a move, a man dressed in the uniform of a low-ranking officer of Soviet Russia on the other side walked over arrogantly, took out a paperwork, came to the approach of the two squad leaders, and said: "Two comrades, we are from the 1st Division of the Siberian Infantry, and we are ordered to escort the equipment to Tyumen. Here is a pass order personally signed by our division commander and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, allowing the convoy to be exempt from inspection in the theater of operations, would you like to take a look? ”

Do not think that the Siberian Military District has been occupied by the White Russians, that is, the entire Siberian army has been wiped out. Soviet Russia adopted the "shadow army" method of army building, that is, as long as there is one person left in this army, then the number of this force will be retained. The 1st Siberian Infantry Division was the elite of the original Siberian Military District, and naturally its integrity was retained, and it was also "taken care of" by the high-level leaders of the Ural region of Soviet Russia, and a group of veterans were specially recruited to fill in to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

But this "care" is not the most desirable for the people of the 1st Division of the Siberian Infantry. This is not a time of peace, and a full crew is not a good thing. Sure enough, the military district of the Ural region of Soviet Russia then placed the 1st Siberian Infantry Division, which had just been rebuilt, to the east of the city of Omsk, and became the closest formed Soviet Russian army to the Belarusian army.

But people just want to live, not to mention those officers in the army, it's those big-headed soldiers, one by one, who want to be transferred to other teams in Soviet Russia to avoid being cannon fodder. Therefore, under the planning of Farel Tucker, a large amount of food was used very early to smash open this newly formed team, there were internal ghosts, strong enemies outside, and many people deserted, the first division of the Siberian infantry was a full 12,000 people, and the whole army surrendered in less than 1 hour of fighting. Of course, the soldiers of Ishim don't know about these things.

And before that, the former enemy commander-in-chief who was stationed in the city of Ishim in charge of the Ishim defense line of the Soviet Russian army really gave an order to transfer all the aircraft and equipment.

And the White Russian army, disguised as a convoy, relied on this warrant to communicate with officials of all sizes from the border checkpoint to the cities they passed. This Ishim City is the headquarters of the former enemy's commander-in-chief, so the most effective force is naturally the pass signed by him himself.

Sure enough, after verifying the warrant a little, an order came from the city, "Release". However, no one is surprised, this kind of thing happens every day, after all, every day there will be some people who can't be provoked, and things that don't need to be inspected are transported to the city, who let this be the station of the former enemy commander-in-chief now!

The convoy of the 1st Siberian Infantry Division entered the city of Ishim. When everyone thought that everything was safe, there was a loud bang in the city of Ishim. The loud sound was extremely harsh in the silence of the morning.

"What's the situation?" The attention of the city guards was drawn to the loud noise inside the city.

"Do it!" Suddenly, there was a roar around them.

"Poof!" "Poof!" Before the two squads defending the city could react, more than 200 coolies and grooms from the convoy that had just entered the city drew bayonets from under the carriages and poked them in the cold.

"Phew!" As soon as they saw that the situation was not right under the city gate, the city defenders at the head of the city reacted and immediately opened fire to warn.

However, now the warning is of little significance, and there are "ping-pong" gunshots in the city. "Ensign, look there!" The platoon commander of the city guard looked at the place pointed by the soldiers around him at the head of the city. Outside the city, on the horizon visible to the naked eye, a black tide is sweeping in. In less than half a minute, it was already roaring to the bottom of the city.

"It looks like the Mongol cavalry of White Russia! How did they get here? It was not unusual for him to recognize these cavalrymen as Mongols, and the cavalry under the city mostly wore fur hats, while the Kazakh cavalry of White Russia and the cavalry of Soviet Russia in the past mostly wore tweed hats.

He looked at the city, although the war horses ridden by the Mongolian cavalry were not as good as the Soviet Russian cavalry, but the momentum of the 10,000-horse charge was not small, and the mountains and fields under the city were all Mongols, boundless, and there must be more than 10,000 people.

The second lieutenant platoon commander of the city guard heard that the breathing of everyone around him was a little heavy, and his heart was also uneasy, "Let's descend!" After holding it for a long time, I saw that the other party began to flock to the city, and the second lieutenant platoon commander finally made the final decision.

In a wasteland in the Ishim steppe, 3,000 Russian cavalrymen flew towards the city of Ishim in an almost straight line.

"Huh?" Suddenly, one of the knights, with a beard and the appearance of a high-ranking officer, suddenly frowned and looked towards the sky on the far right.

This group was the Soviet Russian reinforcements who had arrived from Tyumen, and this knight with a big beard and the appearance of a high-ranking officer was Yegorov, who had just been appointed commander of the Ural Military District.

Yegorov was originally the commander of the Southern Front of Soviet Russia, but his reputation was not as famous as that of his partner, who would later become famous Stalin. During the Soviet and Russian Civil War, Yegorov was transferred to Moscow because of his meritorious service in destroying the main force of the White Russian army. Soviet Russia is now fighting on two fronts, and the main battlefield is now set in Ukraine, and the commander of this army has been served by Trotsky, the "god of war" of the Soviet Russian army. So Stalin's faction could only retreat to the next best thing and pushed Yegorov of his own faction to the position of commander of the Ural region. It can be regarded as having mastered the military power of the 130,000 army.

Even so, Stalin was still worried about the lack of strength of Yegorov's men, and originally an infantry regiment was established to escort Yegorov on his post, but because of Stalin's request, a large number of war horses were transferred from the cavalry battalion near Moscow, ensuring that Yegorov's command could make up a reinforced regiment of 3,000 people, and the equipment distributed was that of the cavalry division.

Even Stalin was not satisfied, and after guaranteeing 3,000 men and one horse, he also issued each of them an auxiliary horse from the stable, which was regarded as dragging the hind legs of Trotsky, who needed cavalry the most, and at the same time ensuring the surplus of power under Yegorov's command.

In this regard, Yegorov was quite complaining at first, after all, it is better to use cavalry on the Ukrainian plains than in the Ural Mountains, and then it was Stalin who talked about it and raised supplies everywhere, which allowed Yegorov to use war horses to carry supplies that could equip a mountain division before setting off from Moscow with peace of mind.

And Yegorov is also worthy of being a strong general of Soviet Russia, as soon as he arrived in the Urals, he ordered to highlight the Urals and deal a heavy blow to the White Russian army, which had not gained a firm foothold in Novosibirsk. If it weren't for the remnants of the White Russians in the Urals who ran out of the mountains and messed things up. In the face of the menacing elite of Soviet Russia, Zhao Yun and Rokossovsky at that time could only choose to avoid the edge temporarily. And it turned out afterwards that Rokossovsky had reorganized the army and stood firm. Yegorov did not blindly insist on success, but dug three lines of defense in Tyumen-Ihim-Omsk to protect the industry and agriculture of the Urals from being harassed by the White Russians.

And it turned out that his strategy was right, if analyzed from a normal point of view, the number of the White Russian army was three times higher than that of the Soviet Russian army, and the consumption of grain and grass was much higher than that of the Soviet Russian army. In the context of such a famine year as 1923, it is much better to let the soldiers go to the fields to work more and then send troops when the White Russian army is not ready to attack. Moreover, the prominence of the Ural region also means entering the Western Siberian Plain, which also occupies a geographical advantage for the use of cavalry.

Things were indeed developing according to his deployment three days ago, but the changes in three days made Yegorov's hair almost turn gray. The Tyumen-Ishim-Omsk three lines of defense, due to time reasons, only the Tyumen-Ishim defense line has been completed, Omsk is only stationed with heavy troops, as a battle salient to exist, with it as the center of the Omsk defense line under the 200,000 people transferred from the country day and night work, it will take at least a month to perfect.

But two days ago, suddenly there was no information coming from the direction of Omsk, which was supposed to be reported once a day. And then, the city of Ishim suddenly lost contact. Fortunately, the city of Ishim is relatively close to Tyumen, and yesterday afternoon I received news that a large number of White Russian troops had appeared in the territory of Ishim, and that they had opened the city gates under the guise of a convoy, and with cavalry as the vanguard, they broke through the city of Ishim, killed and captured the high-ranking officers in the city, and with this as the center, they expanded to both flanks and tore a big hole in the defensive line. Hearing this, Yegorov's eyes turned black at that time, Ishim City is not just a small city, but it is the center of the Ishim Line, the city has a perfect military high-level structure, and it is the former enemy's general headquarters before the Omsk Defense Line is perfected.

If it is broken through here, it means that it no longer makes sense to hold the Ishim line. So Yegorov decided to go to the front, take over the functions of the General Command of the former enemy of Ishim, and bring the troops of the Ishim Line back to the third line of defense, that is, the Tyumen Line, where he was stationed. As for whether Omsk is lost, Yegorov is not worried, after all, there are heavy troops stationed there, and with the fortifications of Omsk city similar to Krasnoyarsk, the White Russians will gnaw on it, and they will not be able to gnaw at all if they don't die a hundred thousand.

Moreover, the industrial output value of Omsk Oblast accounts for 70% of the total output value of its cities, and it is one of the top 20 developed cities in Russia, and the military industrial output value accounts for most of it. If we are ranked in order of the number of products manufactured in Russia, then Omsk ranks fourth in Russia. After Moscow, Petersburg and Yekaterinburg. So in contrast to a city like Krasnoyarsk, which is dominated by colleges and research institutes, Omsk is a city that serves the war effort.

The White Russian army has the ability to besiege, which Yegorov believes, but if the White Russian army goes to attack, it will be something that Yegorov cannot ask for.
