Thank you for your attention, and add a new chapter!

When Zhao Yun led a group of generals to clean up the mess in Krasnoyarsk, Rokossovsky's Western Expeditionary Army had already taken the city of Novosibirsk, the gateway to Western Siberia, without blood.

On the first day of completing the reception of the city, Rokossovsky gathered a group of White Russian troops who had not entered the city and attacked the city of Novosibirsk. Thinking about the fact that the main force of the Siberian Military District is in mourning at the moment, and Shaolin, who is the chief general, is also unknown whether he is alive or dead, it is conceivable how high the morale of the Soviet Russian army will be.

Rokossovsky naturally went very happily along the way of this western expedition, and some of the White Russian troops gradually caught up with the vanguard, and in less than two days, Rokossovsky's team grew to 100,000 and arrived outside Novosibirsk. On the city wall not far away, the Soviet Russian army arranged sixty 76 field guns to defend it, clearly trying to fight the White Russian army to the end.

Seeing Rokossovsky coming to reconnoiter with a group of officers, the Russian officer in the vanguard hurriedly walked up and reported to him: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Soviet Russian army in the city is still very arrogant, I told them that Krasnoyarsk has been conquered by us, not only did they not believe it, but also killed the people we sent, and they also said that we want to try it ourselves to see if the White Russian army is a rabble...... ”

Rokossovsky, who was silent when he heard this, observed it with a telescope, "Let them go, Novosibirsk City is just an important military stronghold, and the people in the city are not as many as the two cities we attacked before, so I don't have so many concerns." Order our artillery to step up, and once the artillery is in place, we will storm the city! For now, it's better to dig deep trenches and prepare for the siege! ”

Rokossovsky was in a hurry, and there was not much artillery with him, but before all the artillery was in place the next day, Zhao Yun collected the defenders of Krasnoyarsk and prepared to send them to Rokossovsky.

That night, crackling gunfire suddenly rang out in the city of Novosibirsk, which almost made Rokossovsky, who was not prepared at all, think that it was a night attack by the Soviet Russian army and was ready to retreat ten miles back to camp.

Although the gunfire was very fierce, it was very short, the machine gun rang out for a while, and then there was the sound of grenades and Soviet Russian 76 field artillery, after more than a dozen sounds, the whole city gradually fell silent, and the White Russian army, which had been in my heart, held on until dawn, only to see the white flag hanging on the opposite side of the city, waving around to announce the change of ownership of the city.

Rokossovsky felt quite strange in his heart, all the way to the fight, large and small cities did not fight, don't think they obeyed, to the military town of Siberia, to the point that without firing a single shot, he raised the white flag? Just as people were about to go over to check, the city gate opened by itself, and a regular group of Soviet Russian cavalry held white flags and rode horses all the way to gallop.

A moment later, one of the commanders of the Russian garrison was tied up and brought to Rokossovsky, carrying a corpse behind them.

When they got closer, Rokossovsky realized that the body was actually the garrison commander of the Siberian Military District, and there were several bullet holes on his major general's uniform, which was very eye-catching.

Rokossovsky looked at the body of the major general indifferently, and suddenly felt in a trance, Rokossovsky had the honor to meet this person back then, when he was still the commander of a cavalry regiment, and now he has climbed to the position of commander of hundreds of thousands of people, as if it was so unreal.

Under the pointing of dozens of Mosin Nagant rifles, Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky, the regimental commander of the Soviet Russian defenders, suddenly stepped forward, gave a standard military salute, and shouted tremblingly in front of Rokossovsky: "The 3rd Infantry Division of the Siberian Military District, Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky surrenders to you on behalf of all the defenders of Novosibirsk, please General Rokossovsky, receive our surrender!" ”

Rokossovsky did not answer, looked at the Russian lieutenant colonel in front of him with gray temples and nearly fifty years old, and asked rhetorically, "How many people are still in the city?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky's face showed a little embarrassment, and he said embarrassedly, "The main defenders in the city have been transferred to Krasnoyarsk City, and the remaining regular army of 2,207 and 4,000 militiamen in the city have heard about Krasnoyarsk, so they don't want to fight anymore, so they have decided to surrender to you!" ”

Nearly fifty years old, he is only a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Russian army, generally this kind of person is an old soldier, he has been mixed in the Tsarist Russian army, and now he has defected to Soviet Russia, and he is very capable of mixing with the lieutenant colonel, but he is also mixed with the lieutenant colonel, and there is no big backer behind him, and his own strength, or comprehensive strength, has made the Soviet Russian military district have to rely on, the lieutenant colonel is already a compromise of the Soviet Russian high-level, Rokossovsky pointed to the major general on the ground with a horsewhip, "Then what's going on?" ”

The embarrassment on Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky's face became even heavier, and he lowered his voice and said, "Originally, after General Rokossovsky sent your envoy, we wanted to surrender to you, but Comrade Major General refused, and shot your envoy, wanting to force our whole city to resist to the end. But we also learned about the situation in Krasnoyarsk, where a third of the city is gone. General Rokossovsky, most of us are locally conscripted soldiers, Western Siberia is our home, and if we can save our homeland from the scourge of war, of course we choose to surrender to you. However, Comrade Major General was unwilling, so last night, several of our regiment-level cadres joined forces to conquer the headquarters and wanted Comrade Major General to lead us to surrender, but Comrade Major General commanded his guards to shoot and arrest him, and was accidentally injured by a stray bullet! ”

After a pause, he glanced at Rokossovsky's face, "We surrender to General Rokossovsky with sixty artillery pieces in the city and all the money and food!" Colonel Gorivsky said respectfully.

"Stray bullets? Accidental injury? Looking at so many bullet holes, there is only one truth, hearing that the major general was killed by his own subordinates, Rokossovsky suddenly had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died, and they were also leading soldiers, and the saddest end was to be betrayed by their own people, and then used it to ask for credit from their enemies.

Rokossovsky pondered for a moment and said to his subordinates, "Find a piece of high ground west of the city to bury the major general, pay attention to be decent." After speaking, Rokossovsky said to the respectful Lieutenant Colonel Gorivsky: "Okay, I know about your affairs, since you are willing to surrender, then hand over all the firearms, and we will send someone to watch you, and wait for a few days to make a decision." Are you integrated into the combat unit or into the logistics unit? ”

Upon hearing that Rokossovsky was willing to surrender, Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you......!" ”

Rokossovsky waved his hand and interrupted his next words, he actually didn't like this kind of person in his heart, but since he was here to surrender, this kind of person really couldn't be killed indiscriminately, so he could only be used as cannon fodder in the future and naturally disappear on the battlefield. So he could only pat him on the shoulder with a pleasant face and said: "We attack Novosibirsk City, you are the first to act, and you will be regarded as your own person in the future!" After entering the city, you still need a lot of cooperation from your department, so that we can control this city as much as possible. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "General Rokossovsky, we have all heard about your deeds, you captured a big city like Krasnoyarsk in only three days, how can we resist such a small city as Western Siberia in front of you." ”

Listening to what he said, the surrender seemed to be a matter of course, Rokossovsky, who was also a Soviet Russian army before, wanted to shoot this person who used his boss to ask for credit, but this matter belongs to the purchase of horse bones, and what kind of person Lieutenant Colonel Gorivsky is, he still doesn't know anything, in case it is a talent, then he still has to reuse it, and then let him disappear.

So Rokossovsky, who was dissatisfied, just hummed twice and continued to ask Lieutenant Colonel Gorivsky: "Your team is still stable, right?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky said: "It's very stable, comrades... Oh! Everyone is looking forward to the general's surrender! When you attacked the headquarters last night, you were afraid of causing you to misunderstand, but fortunately, the general's command is very disciplined......"

"Stop, stop," Rokossovsky didn't want to grind with him anymore, "go and inform your team!" Let your men lead a team in front, and let's control those wild artillery first. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky should take it down, he is actually worried that if there are still diehards of Soviet Russia in the team, a sudden bombardment at Rokossovsky's position at this time may cause a big incident, and then he will be torn apart by these White Russian military officers around him.

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky is a local, and he has been operating in Western Siberia for a long time, but there are no decent enemies around, and there have always been large armies in the past, and White Russia has long been driven to the Far East, and the scattered forces in Central Asia will not come to attack this important military town, so the defense of the city is very lax, far less solid than it looks from the outside. Even the walls of the city, which was the most important for defense, could not compare to a large city like Krasnoyarsk.

Rokossovsky led the team into the city to check around, and saw that the 2,000-strong regular army of Soviet Russia here was of the right age, but they were all auxiliary troops such as communications and medical care, and as for the militia of 4,000 people, it was completely like a strong man, forcibly recruited, and the ages were of different sizes, 50 years old, and 14 or 5 years old. Siberia is still vast and sparsely populated, but fortunately, the two largest cities have been conquered by themselves, otherwise they would have dragged the old, weak, sick and disabled into battle like them.

And beyond the city of Novosibirsk, it is the whole western part of Siberia. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean in the north, from the Urals in the west to the Yenisei River in the east. It covers an area of about 3 million square kilometers. The West Siberian Plain is mostly the southeast, and the Altai, Salaire and Kuznetsk Mountains are located in the southeast. From north to south, it is tundra zone, forest tundra zone, forest zone, forest-steppe zone and steppe zone. Most of them are sparsely populated areas, and it is not easy to recruit soldiers.
