When the train passed by Kiev, Qin Jian saw the Chinese and Russian flags standing side by side, and the national flag was a series of simple wooden barracks, and even in the harsh winter, he could still see his comrades-in-arms who were neatly exercising. Compared with the Russian army, which has no internal and external troubles, the soldiers from his hometown who arrived here from thousands of miles away still maintain a high morale, which makes him happy and worried, and even wanted to rush down to the barracks to report the news several times, but in the end he held back, because Zinoviev, who had just been scolded by Lenin, was sitting opposite.

It was November 6th.

The iron wheel continued forward, aiming at Vinnytsia on the South Bug River, about 120 kilometers from Kiev, at the forefront of the Russian Southwestern Front, with the 121st and 122nd Divisions of the Second Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force now 20 kilometers to the east. As the train he was riding headed for Vinnitsa, two armored trains with the Chinese Army's logo on their bodies arrived and slowly drove into the Chinese Expeditionary Force garrison.

"Plum Bigfoot."

As soon as Zhang Zhidan got out of the car, he saw Mei Sheng bringing soldiers to unload the goods, and walked towards this fellow with his hands raised.

Mei Sheng didn't expect him to come to Ukraine, so much so that he forgot that he put his nickname on his lips again, and rushed up to hug him excitedly: "Boy, why did you come to Ukraine too?" The girls here are not as open as France. ”

During this time, there was a lot of lace news about the expeditionary force on the Western Front, and even the Eastern Front had some rumors, so the soldiers below with noses smarter than dogs were looking for "sexual encounters" everywhere, and they also wanted to enjoy what it was like to be in the gentle countryside of the Western Front. It's a pity that the Ukrainian people are relatively conservative, and most of them, except for a few people, are rejected by Ukrainian girls.

Zhang Zhidan's face darkened, is Lao Tzu so good in his eyes? Pointing to the strength behind him, he said weakly: "It's not that I'm afraid that the boy will starve to death." No, Major Ben personally led two armored trains and brought 20 wagons of luncheon meat and cured meat to comfort everyone. ”

"That's great, I've been eating Russian potatoes and brown bread all this time, and I chewed a few sticks of wood out of my mouth yesterday! Damn, these Russians even got sawdust in it! Mei Sheng grumbled while directing the soldiers to carry luncheon meat and shouting for food. The shape of the two armored trains attracted Mei Sheng. This is because this kind of car is different from what is currently used in various countries. There were only three sections, and they were wrapped into a single piece by thick steel plates, the front and rear two were gun carriages, and the power carriage was placed in the middle. What's even more incredible. The front and rear gun carriages were modeled in the style of a warship, with two 105mm cannons each, and a knapsack turret design. There were also 2 37-mm twin rapid-fire guns on top behind the turret and several machine-gun holes on the steel plates on both sides.

"Don't look at it, this is the new equipment of the ** Railway Brigade." Zhang Zhidan introduced.

It turned out that after the Sino-Japanese War, the armored train was well received by the troops because of its fast speed and strong firepower, and the future direction of operations was likely to be far from the north. It is very easy for artillery to be unable to provide rapid support, so the Ministry of Defense used the chassis of Russian trains on the Middle East Railway, plus hundreds of 120, 105, and 76 naval guns and boilers salvaged off the coast of Qingdao to modify many of these standard armored trains, and additionally organized them into railway brigades.

Compared with the Western Front, the Eastern Front had a much more difficult time. Not to mention the fact that they could not even replenish arms and ammunition in time, and the expeditionary force carried its own ammunition when it came, and although there were no big battles, they still consumed a lot of small battles. The most hated thing is because of the lack of heavy shells in Russia. Therefore, several divisions carried 75 rapid-fire guns supported by Britain and France, and there were very few 105 cannons, and as for the infantry's favorite standard 70 infantry guns, they did not bring a few. Because Russia did not have shells of this caliber at all, the bureaucratic arsenal was even more reluctant to make shells for more than 100 cannons alone. Even for the sake of universal ammunition, the troops had to completely replace the heavy Mosinagan rifles made in the United States with 7.62*54R ammunition this summer, and even the light and heavy machine guns were modified on the spot using the methods taught by domestic technicians to make them able to use Russian bullets.

So to get 2 armored trains that can move quickly, Mei Sheng couldn't be happier. But his idea of using armored trains to cooperate with the attack only arose, and was shattered by Zhang Zhidan: "Don't think about it, the railway brigade is here to protect the retreat." ”

"Retreat! Why? ”

Before you have fought a few battles, you have to retreat? Mei Sheng looked at him puzzled, but the latter didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and asked, "What about Captain Shi?" ”

"Went to the front."

Zhang Zhidan thought about it, immediately stepped onto an armored train that had just stopped, and immediately headed towards Vinnitsa. Looking at the train speeding away, Mei Sheng always felt that he couldn't understand this partner who had played since he was a child.

Vinnitsa.

In the Caucasian Cossack cavalry division, Qin Jian met with the division's soldiers' council chairman Frunze and his deputy Budyonny, who was a well-known general in the Cossack cavalry division and one of the few outstanding generals who received the Tsar's highest honor, the Order of St. George. But now he looked a little depressed, and like all Cossacks loyal to the Tsar, the world-famous cavalrymen were in a great state of confusion and confusion after the February Revolution. Frunze fell into deep thought after reading the letter. He had the idea of demobilizing and disbanding the cavalry division on the spot for a long time, because the soldiers were no longer fighting**, the logistics were chaotic, and no one was willing to continue the war in the absence of guns, plus the Cossack allegiance, the tsar's family was under house arrest, so in addition to demobilization, the soldiers could not think of a second way. Lenin and Trotsky, however, had other ideas, and according to their intentions, they were preparing for the sudden withdrawal of the cavalry divisions from the defensive line, and to lead the German-Austrian troops to entangle the Chinese expeditionary force so that they could not intervene in St. Petersburg.

He doesn't agree with this very much, everything that happened in France proves that the Far East is quietly changing, and after more than a year of getting along, it can be seen that the Chinese Expeditionary Force is higher than the patchwork Russian army in terms of combat effectiveness and combat skills, once the defensive line is released, the German division in front will definitely take advantage of this to outflank the right flank of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, although it can ensure that they will be delayed here for a while, but at what cost? The distant Siberian region is almost entirely within the reach of the Chinese forces, not to mention that they have an entire division stationed near the Ural Mountains, which can easily cut off the Eurasian connection point. More seriously, will he provoke the anger of the Chinese expeditionary force to attack St. Petersburg? A whole army! With the current state of the Russian army, I am afraid that no unit can stop it.

In Lenin's eyes, the Chinese expeditionary force was a vicious dog placed by Britain and the United States on the Russian Eastern Front, and if they gained power and withdrew from the war, they would probably also attract armed intervention, so this was a dilemma. He folded the letter and stuffed it into his pocket and said: "Comrade Mir, please tell Comrades Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, I will find a way." ”

Although Qin Jian wanted to ask him what he would do, he had a more important task and had to endure his impulses and walk out under the pretext of penetrating the wind. When I went outside, I saw many soldiers sitting around, and some officials of the poor party were encouraging the soldiers to lay down their arms, and they were openly shouting slogans such as opening the country to force the current government to step down, go home and divide the land, and so on. The already exhausted soldiers, who had any concept of going home, shouted to lay down their weapons and go home, which made him even more worried. It can be seen that the Russian army has rotted to the roots, and coupled with the slogans and promises of the poor party to publicly declare that they will end the war at all costs, promote nationalization, and distribute land to every poor person, it is probably only a matter of time before Russia withdraws from the war.

20 kilometers away is the 121st and 122nd divisions of the expeditionary force, you can't watch nearly 40,000 comrades-in-arms die because of the betrayal of the Slavs, right?! He gritted his teeth and decided to find an excuse to go over. Just as he was walking towards the stable, two lieutenant ** officers in yellow cotton clothes suddenly walked in in the distance.

A sudden feeling of seeing his loved ones made his nose slightly sour, and he quickly took a deep breath and walked over there.

Lin Baotang was the liaison officer of the 121st Division, and when he was young, he followed his father to Kulen to sell leather goods all the year round, and over time he practiced standard Russian. The North Caucasus Cavalry Division came today because a post on the right flank of the position, which was supposed to be garrisoned by the Russian army, was actually removed! This annoys everyone, although things like this have been happening all the time in the past six months, but you should always say hello before removing the outpost, right? What if the Germans happened to attack from that direction!

"Colonel Frunze, we are here to defend Russia! So we hope that this kind of thing can be told in advance in the future! Lin Baotang was very annoyed and glared at Frunze who came out. The poor party officers of the Russian army who followed behind saw him and scolded him: "This is our normal transfer, why should we tell you?" ”

"This is Russia, you imperialist minions should have gone back a long time ago!"

"Get out of here!"

The cold words made Lin Baotang's face darken, these Russians really don't know how to be grateful. I and my comrades-in-arms came all the way to treat themselves like this, and I really hated that I couldn't go home immediately and pull them down, they deserved to be beaten by the Germans.

Frunze stopped the soldier from continuing the taunt and said, "Captain, next time we will inform you first." ”

Lin Baotang took a deep breath, saluted and prepared to go back, in fact, he knew in his heart that this kind of complaint and coordination was just a formality, and the Russian army in front of him was simply a rabble without a mind. But when he turned his head and was about to leave, he suddenly staggered out of a man in civilian clothes, and the two of them suddenly bumped shoulders together because they were not prepared. But before he could see the figure clearly, he felt that something was suddenly stuffed into his palm, and he almost subconsciously pinched it and turned his head to look at it.

"Mir, you're alright."

"It's okay, I tripped over an ammo box." After Qin Jian stood firm, he deliberately asked loudly, "Comrade Frunze, they are." ”

"It's the liaison officer in China." Frunze and the others didn't see the picture of the two palms intersecting, so they quickly went back to the office together to continue the meeting and discussion. Looking at the back of the "Russian man", Lin Baotang always felt that something was wrong, so he immediately punched when he left the barracks.

In the fist was a small note, and the words on it were actually written in small seals, and the handwriting was clearly scribbled and hurried. Luckily, he had learned this kind of brushwork when he was in a private school before, so he quickly understood the meaning.

"The Russian army is ready to open up its positions and introduce German troops, be careful to release betrayal!" …… (。 If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
