Throughout the history of Russia's expansion, small countries do not talk about it, in fact, they rarely fight to the death with big countries, basically fight and talk, and use military means to cooperate with diplomatic negotiations to achieve territorial expansion, of which military is supplemented, negotiation is the focus, even for the Qing Dynasty, Russia is mainly intimidation and blackmail, and rarely directly uses force.

As an emerging power in East Asia, China has a population of 400 million, has defeated the combined fleets of many countries, and has the geographical advantage of being far away from Europe.

It is impossible to beat a big country like China to death with a stick, and fighting with China for a long time will cost Russia too much to bear, in fact, only seizing Xinjiang, Russia is already very satisfied, and attacking Chinese mainland is just a rhetoric.

On the one hand, it can calm the boiling public opinion in the country, China has killed our people, and we occupy more than one million square kilometers of land in China, which can be regarded as a powerful retaliatory action, on the other hand, it is also shouted to Britain and France, and only crying children can have milk to eat.

Russia's real purpose is to get as much aid as possible from Britain and France in the name of launching a full-scale war against China after gaining a firm foothold in Xinjiang, weapons, food, technology, pounds, francs, whatever it wants, but secretly use it to compete with China for the Pacific coast.

After all, Russia is not stupid and will not really go to Britain and France as gunmen.

The original plan was good, but there was a problem in the implementation process, and no one expected to enter Xinjiang. It's like getting into a cage and losing the first battle. and pushed the 500,000 army into the danger of annihilation, if the 500,000 Russian army is really gone. Not to mention the outbreak of a consequential reaction from Central Asia to the Caucasus, even the strongholds on the Pacific coast will be lost forever.

This is a danger that can be seen, and Vyazelsky is like falling into an ice kiln for a moment, and his whole body shudders, and he is the main culprit of the failure.

Although the outside temperature was already very low, his heart was even colder, and the thick fur coat could block the penetration of the cold, but it could not stop the cold inside.

Vyazesky hurriedly said: "I agree to transfer to Kolpaburg, but it is impossible for the Chinese army to sit idly by and watch us leave." Gentlemen, who has a good idea to get rid of the Chinese army? ”

"This" includes Khadenov, everyone is embarrassed, the Kolpaburg is closer to Ili, and holding the Kolpaburg is actually one of the two exits for the retreat of the Russian army from Xinjiang.

The other exit is from the Alashan Pass, crossing between Zaisangbo and Yibohai, passing through the Kazakh steppe, and returning to Orenburg, an important Russian town in the foothills of the Ural Mountains.

Orenburg was one of the sources of the Russian offensive in Central Asia. The Russian Bunker Line starts from Orenburg and is divided into two routes, one way south, through the eastern shore of the Aral Sea and into the hinterland of the Kazakh steppe. The other way is to Siberia, from the north side of the Kazakh steppe to Zaisangpo, and from the territory of the Qing Dynasty to the south. It was built along the southeast of the Yibo Sea to the Narne Fort.

If Narne Fort is about Russia's control of eastern Central Asia, then Kolpaburg is about the life and death of the Russian army in Xinjiang. Once the Kolpaburg is lost, it means that Ili will not be able to get through. The Democratic Alliance Army will inevitably move north along the Russian pillbox line until it blocks the Alashan Pass and completely traps hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in Xinjiang.

At this time, there was a consensus of opinion, everyone recognized the necessity of leaving, if it was yesterday before the snow stopped, there would be no problem, but yesterday was the time of complacency, and the whole army was full of strength to give the Chinese army a head-on blow, how could it be avoided?

And the consequence of the battle, is a big defeat, is the snow over the sunny, the visibility is desperate, this area except for the south of the Ili Mountain, the other three directions are plains, there is no way to use the terrain, in the plain area, it is difficult to walk, not to mention that the Russian army can not walk empty-handed, must bring baggage, otherwise before rushing to the Kolpaburg, they will all freeze to death and starve to death.

Vyazelsky suddenly took a deep breath and said: "If you want to leave, it will be a long time ago, who knows if there are other Chinese troops attached?" I decided that tonight, the whole army would retreat, but given the possibility of a Chinese pursuit, it was necessary to leave some men behind. ”

As he spoke, Vyazevsky set his sights on the leaders of the Central Asian ethnic groups headed by Jin Xiangyin.

These people suddenly felt a gedeng in their hearts, and secretly exclaimed that it was not good.

Sure enough, Vyazevsky said again: "The heavy responsibility of blocking the Chinese army is entrusted to you, and I will leave some weapons and food down." ”

Jin Xiangyin and the others were all anxious and angry, looking at Vyazevsky with blank eyes, asking them to stop the Chinese army, is that not looking for death or what?

Now there are more than 20,000 armed forces of various ethnic groups in Central Asia, and the rest are all Russian troops, as long as they show a slight intention to resist, they will be cleared out by the Russian army first.

All of a sudden, a few pairs of eyes stared around helplessly, hoping that someone would stand up and say a few good words for them.

But soon, they were disappointed, counting on the Russians to be soft-hearted, it was like a dream, and every Russian present nodded their heads again and again, as if they were taken for granted, obviously agreeing with Vyazelsky's arrangement.

"Humph!" Vyazelsky snorted even more coldly: "Now is the time when Russia needs you the most, you should show loyalty to His Majesty the Tsar, I wish you good luck, I am waiting for you in Kolpaburg."

In addition, I must remind you, don't do anything crooked, the cruelty of the Chinese is world-famous, their goal is only to kill and rob, they will not show mercy because you surrender, on the contrary, surrender to the Chinese, you will only die faster. ”

Suddenly, Jin Xiangyin and others had a strong sadness in their hearts, the Russians are not a good thing, they will greedily squeeze every use value of you, and after being squeezed dry, they will kick you away without hesitation, and the Chinese are more direct, that is, kill.

In the islands of Southeast Asia, kill!

In Burma, kill!

In north-central Vietnam, kill!

In China, Ganshan, kill!

According to the latest information, the Tashkent and Fergana basins have also been killed by the Chinese!

According to the statistics of the do-gooders, China's army, which is composed of pure Han people and some ethnic minorities in the south, has robbed millions of women and countless wealth in the ten years since its formation, and killed at least five million people.

They feel that the world is so big that there is nowhere to go, in the face of the Chinese, it is a quick death, and in the face of the Russians, it is slowly played to death!

The faces of several people gradually showed a look of despair, but Hadenov smiled and said: "Actually, don't worry too much, now is the coldest time of the year, the Chinese will definitely not adapt, perhaps, they can't get up in the cold, your task is only to block until dawn, after dawn you can rush to Kolpaburg." ”

Isn't this an open-eyed nonsense or what? Look at the Chinese soldiers in the distance, running and jumping on the snow, and even some self-confident strong soldiers, stripped naked, wearing only briefs, wiping their bodies with snow and bathing, how could such an army not be able to get up at night?

'Huh? Wait a minute! Jin Xiangyin's heart moved, and it was dangerous to give Russia the task of blocking it, but this was not a wonderful opportunity to escape? When the Russians are gone, they themselves will flee, out of Central Asia, away from China, to Iran or Turkey, at least they will survive.

"We are willing to serve His Majesty the Tsar, so let's go and prepare first." Jin Xiangyin reluctantly agreed, and those people even looked at each other.

"Go ahead!" As if he didn't care, Vyazelsky waved his hand.

"Farewell, gentlemen." Several Central Asian leaders, led by Jin Xiangyin, bowed deeply and left quickly.

Looking at the few figures that hurriedly disappeared, a staff officer couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, General, I always feel that these people are not very reliable, although it is impossible for them to surrender to the Chinese, but aren't you worried that they will also run away after we leave?" Don't stop us at all? ”

"Run? Where can they run? Vyazevsky stretched out his hand and pointed: "To the south, there is the continuous Ili Snow Mountain, to the east, is the road back to Xinjiang, I think, they will never go back to Xinjiang, more than 20 kilometers to the west, it is the camp of the Chinese army, and it is very likely that the Chinese army is chasing from west to east, then, there is only one road left in the north."

To the north was a narrow passage, and to the left was the desert, and he needed to cross the desert to get out of the southern corner of the sea, and if he followed the desert all the way north, he would only fall into the mountains.

On the right is the Capchagai Grand Canyon, the banks of which are about sixty meters higher than the river at the bottom of the valley, such a high height, I am afraid that he will not be able to come up if he goes down, and the passage, he will never dare to go, because there is our Russian army in front, so these lowly Central Asians can only block our guns, they have no other way to go. ”

"Hahahaha~~" Among the Russians, laughter suddenly broke out, as if everyone saw hope again, even. Hardnov regretted it, if he could have come up with a reason just yesterday, he would have taken over the command of Vyazelsky.

Vyazelsky seemed to have penetrated his thoughts, handed over a helpless look, and then crossed and said: "Let's also go and prepare, whether it can succeed or not depends on tonight, may God be with us." ”

"May God be with us!" They also drew a cross and scattered.

In order to avoid being noticed, on the one hand, the Russian army stepped up the monitoring and observation of the Democratic Alliance forces, and at the same time made secret preparations for the migration, stacking materials and ammunition in tents in different categories to ensure that they could be loaded and transported away within half an hour, and even sent people to follow the example of the Chinese side and fight near the camp to attract attention.

As for the Central Asian armed forces, some supplies were also allocated, a tent for ten people, and two days of food per person, but the price paid was that all the horses were expropriated! (To be continued.) )
