251 Two months of great change

On March 27, the Jixian County Government issued a statement to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan that the "Luda Contract" had expired, and strictly ordered the other party to withdraw from the "Luda Land Lease Renewal" after the expiration of the "Luda Land Lease Renewal" on May 7. Otherwise, Japan will bear all the consequences.

This statement is tantamount to pouring cold water into the hot oil pot, and the whole of China and the entire Far East have exploded. It has been a long time since Huaxia has been so "strong", but some Chinese people have begun to worry about whether Huaxia can settle Japan.

"Two months, you only have two months!" Since the negotiations, Zhao Yun knew that time was already very short.

At the same time, he issued operational orders to Wu Peifu, who was in charge of the expansion of the army, which reached 2.91 million, Zhu Xi, who was stationed in Nanjing, and Rokossovsky, who commanded an army of 500,000.

Wu Peifu, who was still in the Yangtze River area, although he commanded a large number of troops, the task was relatively light in comparison, as long as he commanded various warlords and drove their troops to Qingdao and other places for assembly. This has to start from November 1914, when the First World War broke out, and Japan took advantage of the fact that the Western powers had no time to look eastward, and under the pretext of declaring war on Germany, sent troops to invade Qingdao, Shandong. This time, Huaxia has made it clear that it wants to take back the "Luda," and now it has made a move to take back Qingdao by taking advantage of the situation, which has put pressure on Japan.

For a while, reporters from Shanghai, southern Jiangsu, and other places were feasting their eyes, and today they were invited to visit this warship, and tomorrow they were invited to another warship, and the submarines that they usually hide and tucked away were also lined up to take pictures of reporters on the river, which appeared on the front page.

However, these are all false, and they are for the Japanese to see. It was Rokossovsky who really made the shot. The order Zhao Yun gave him was different from everyone's, not to "show off his muscles", but to draw troops back to the Far East after annihilating the enemy in front of him.

The Ural Mountains are a mountain range that divides Europe and Asia, and if this dangerous place has been controlled by Soviet Russia, it is equivalent to the initiative of the offensive has always been held by Soviet Russia, and only by taking the initiative can Zhao Yun let Rokossovsky return to the Far East with peace of mind and show his strength.

On March 31, 1923, Rokossovsky led his entire army from the city of Novosibirsk on the banks of the Ob River. The generals of the Western Expeditionary Army concentrated all the way, and the whole army of 519,000 soldiers and horses was officially engaged in the decisive battle to pacify the Urals along the main artery of the Far East. In addition to a large number of people, there were also more than 20,000 businessmen from the Far East, Outer Mongolia, Northwest and other places who rushed to hear the news, and they also smelled the business opportunities of the White Russian army's expedition and were ready to follow the army and make a lot of money. And there are obviously more than them who have such thoughts, more than 20,000 people are only the first batch, and the second batch has already begun to set off in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and even Japan and other places to seize business opportunities.

As the sun sets, "Warm up with some wine!" "Several spies of the Soviet Russian army are resting in the shade of trees, they were originally stationed in the central city of the Western Siberian Plain in the territory of the division cavalry reconnaissance company, recently their own division commander was suspicious all day long, feeling that something was going to happen, so they sent them out, all the way to Omsk, the front line of the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army, more than 200 miles away.

Rokossovsky has been in Novosibirsk, two or three hundred miles east of Omsk, and has been hiding there for nearly two or three months without any movement. Some guerrillas supported by the White Russian army, that is, they fought guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and they ran into the mountains as soon as the wind and grass were blowing, which was very difficult, but they could not threaten this plain. And the Soviet Russian army stationed here is not the main force, but only a third-line team. Because of the "instructions" from above, the main forces withdrew to Ishim and Tyumen, forming two lines of defense.

On weekdays, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Soviet Russian army did not come much, and the local garrison was nested in Omsk, and the remnants of the surrounding White Russians did not have the courage to go deep into the plain. Therefore, these spies of the Soviet and Russian armies who were on reconnaissance missions wanted to be lazy when they saw that there was nothing abnormal along the way.

These spies of the Soviet Russian army all spoke the Kazakh dialect and chatted about some interesting things about their hometown. Everyone carried a small bag of dry food, but to everyone's excitement, a suffocating wine bag took turns in everyone's hands to make everyone feel satisfied.

The two consecutive years of drought have caused a shortage of grain in Soviet Russia, and this year, because of the war on two fronts in Soviet Russia, a large number of laborers have been transferred, and many people have predicted that this year will not be a bumper year. Recently, even the food supplied to the army has become less and less, and drinking alcohol is already a very luxurious thing in the army, if it weren't for the fact that they are scouts, the whole squad would not have half a bag of wine.

Just as they were talking, they suddenly noticed that the pebbles on the ground were shaking. The spies looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they proved that they had not drunk too much.

Suddenly, a man woke up, and he hurried to the tree to untie the reins of his horse. The other spies reacted. They all went to untie the reins, and they didn't even notice that the wine bag had fallen to the ground.

When the spies mounted their horses and climbed the nearest high slope, they saw only a black line emerging from the edge of the land in the east.

"Run! Go back and arraign! One of the spies turned the horse's head.

"Lian Vice! Why don't we go up and find out which way it is and how many people there are? Another young spy asked.

"What else are you looking for?" The fleeing spy glanced back, the black tide of the opposing cavalry was getting closer and closer, but at the end of the line of sight, there was still no sign of stopping. The verdant meadows that had just sprouted in April were covered by cavalrymen riding horses of various colors and wearing military uniforms on black backgrounds and red borders, and the number of them was in the tens of thousands, and Chesdi, a spy known as the deputy company commander, exclaimed, "It must be Rokossovsky, besides his cavalry, where else is there so many cavalry in the vicinity now, do you see the width of that black tide?" It was overwhelming, stretching for more than ten miles, and this time it must have been all his army dispatched. Rokossovsky's vanguard was generally Mongols, riding three horses, and if we didn't go again, we wouldn't be able to go. ”

With that, the spy immediately whipped up and ran out in the direction of Ishim.......

After a while, a group of Mongolian cavalry of the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army galloped to the foothold of the spies of the Soviet Russian army. Looking at the few people who fled, the cavalry captain who led the way raised his horsewhip and said with a smile: "Do you see the Don hippopotamus under their crotch?" Didn't you always covet the Russians' war horses better than our Mongolian horses! Sue sΓΉ brethren, catch up! Whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it......"

Located on the Ishim Plain on the Ishim River, Ishim was originally a small city with just over 10,000 people, but with the advent of war, a large number of troops came and went every day, making this peaceful city seem quite prosperous, and in just three months it has reached the size of a medium-sized city.

In the early morning, the gates of Ishim City opened, and a platoon of city guards held "water beads", two squads stood on either side of the gate, and there was another squad on the tower, waiting to check the passing caravans. Perhaps because there are still hundreds of kilometers away from the White Russians, the city and the outside have always been calm, and there are almost no small White Russian guerrillas here, and these city guards are all lazy "to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day", and after opening the city gate step by step, there are not a few people who doze off with rifles.

On the road in the distance, a huge caravan slowly came from the direction of Omsk, more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages were full, and the deep rut marks showed that the goods in the cars were not light, but they were covered with rain cloths and did not know what kind of goods were in the cars. In fact, for the city of Ishim, such a large caravan is not uncommon, don't forget that the city of Ishim is not far from the Ural Mountains, and the Ural region is the "ore warehouse" of the entire Soviet Russia, but the most striking thing is the members of the caravan, in addition to two hundred horsemen and coolies, there are actually more than 20 soldiers carrying guns.

In fact, it is not a great thing to say that there are more than 20 soldiers in the caravan. Although there was no harassment from the White Russian partisans in the vicinity, it was normal for a few soldiers to escort the general military supplies. However, there were only a dozen four-wheeled carriages in total, but there were more than 200 horsemen and coolies. What kind of good things did such a caravan transport, and for a while, the bored city guards began to discuss with each other.

"Platoon commander, guess what's being transported? What precious thing needs so many people to carry? The city guards on the gate tower looked at the caravan that was getting closer and closer, and whispered to the platoon commander beside him.

"It's not ore, it's the equipment that moved west, I heard that there is a shortage of everything in the east, and there are often teams that dismantle the machines in the factory and sell them to the Chinese people to exchange for food. Therefore, the upper authorities ordered that all the machines and equipment in the east be moved westward, so as not to give the Chinese people a chance to buy them. The platoon commander of the city guard said.

"Grain?" As soon as they heard the word "food", everyone came to the spirit,

"Can you really get food with those iron lumps?"

"Huaxia seems to be far away from us, right? Do they have plenty of food there? The city guards chatted as they looked curiously at the caravan that was about to walk in front of them. As a soldier of Soviet Russia, I don't have much awe of Tsarist Russia, and the equipment left over from Tsarist Russia is not as important as the high-level sees. The people living at the bottom always put material things first.

"It doesn't matter so much, as long as it's not a special transport team sent to Moscow, you have to listen to us here, check it. There are so many of them, there must be a lot of food, and you guys will find some trouble later, and see if you can pull some food from there! The platoon commander of the city guard said to the squad leaders of the two squads downstairs.
