As for the "1888 Commission Rifle", this gun was stimulated by the French "Lebel 1886", and Germany set up a "Rifle Test Committee" in order to maintain its leading position in armaments and designed a new rifle - the "1888 Commission Rifle". This is also the first domestic rifle in China, because the committee rifle has a sleeve to protect the barrel, it is commonly known as the "old sleeve" by the Chinese people. In 1904, the Hanyang Arsenal in China improved this gun, removing the sleeve outside the barrel and calling it "Hanyang-made"! The Commission rifle combines a variety of designs: the bolt is an improved version of the Austrian "M1888 Manlisia" from the Spandau Arsenal; Magazine, 5 rounds of missing clips, bullets must be loaded with leaky clips, the leaky clips are left in the magazine, and they cannot be reloaded before they are finished, which is also an improvement from the "M1888 Manlisa rifle"; The barrel rifling is basically an imitation of the "Lebel 1886", and the new smokeless cartridge is improved from the Swiss-designed 7.92mm bottomless neck neck cartridge...... Again, the number is unknown.

As for the last "M1895 Steyr-Manlisa rifle", it was developed on the basis of the main rifle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, "Steyr rifle", and a large number of mature technologies of the "M1888 Manlisya rifle". The overall structure of this type of rifle is simple, light weight, reliable function, easy to use, and can fire a variety of bullets. The design of the gun was completed in 1890, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time was the first to export and equip the troops of other countries, and only after seeing the general good response did it officially equip its own army in 1895, so it was called the "M1895 Steyr-Manlisha rifle".

The M1895 Steyr-Manlixia rifle was once one of the main rifles of the Chinese army, and the emperor of China, Yuan Shikai, was its loyal "fan" who purchased 6,500 rifles as early as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and later became one of the two main rifles of the "Six Towns of Beiyang". After the end of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolved, and more M1895 Steyr-Manlisa rifles were imported into China by arms dealers, mostly owned by Beiyang warlords who favored it.

Think about it, the weapons equipped with these White Russians are all second-hand goods in exchange for the hands of the Chinese warlords, think about the combat power of those Chinese armies, we can measure the combat power of the White Russian army.

So in front of us is just a bunch of "monstrous numbers", half a million? Hum! I don't think there are even 100,000 soldiers to fight! ”

"The original ・・・・・・ is so ・・・・・・" Listening to Shaolin's analysis, everyone nodded suddenly, and they were all convinced by Shaolin's keen grasp of the battle situation.

meanwhile

In front of the White Russian army's tent, which was about twenty miles away from Krasnoyarsk City, Zhao Yun looked around at the camp that had been built in a hurry.

Scattered and messy! This is Zhao Yun's first impression of strolling on the top of the mountain, looking down at the bottom of the mountain, and on this camp that stretches for dozens of miles. I just wanted to comment a few words, "Ahhh Pander to...... Pander to...... Pander to...... Ahh A gust of north wind whistled, and Zhao Yun immediately sneezed a series of sounds, and immediately turned around, and swooped into the warm carriage carport behind him.

As soon as he entered the carport, Zhao Yun immediately took the Korean ginseng tea handed by Shao Laoer, and drank it one by one, with a depressed look on his face. On the side, there is also a young man who is temporarily hired to act as a Russian translator, adding firewood to the brazier in the shed from time to time, hoping to make the shed warmer.

Although he was wearing a thick bearskin coat and holding a special ginger tea in his hand, Zhao Yun still couldn't help but shudder, and the words that he wanted to criticize Rokossovsky just now turned into praise. It's cold and snowy, it's good to be able not to freeze, and there are so many requirements.

Thinking of the inspection just now, Zhao Yun was so depressed in his heart! "More than 500,000 White Russian troops, thousands of commanders and commanders, are blown in the wind and snow all day long, but there is only a pampered "boss" snot...... What is this good to say? It was just half an hour of standing in the snow and watching the shelling from afar...... Ahh Pander to... Sneeze! This Siberia is really freezing to death! Never leave the warm little stove again! ”

Ignoring the nagging in Zhao Yun's heart, "Young Master, General Rokossovsky is here!" Shao Lao Er saw the situation outside the car and called out.

"Come in, come in, come in!" Zhao Yun said with difficulty, due to nasal congestion, his voice was a little more nasal than in Pingyu, but the people who heard it didn't dare to laugh at this "boss" who "didn't care about things".

"The last general has seen the boss!" Rokossovsky bowed his hand to Zhao Yun respectfully, looking at this strange greeting language and greeting gift, Zhao Yun knew that this must have been taught by Shao Laoer.

"Well, he's also a member of the White Russian Army, and this-well, it seems that there's nothing wrong with calling it that?" Seeing that Rokossovsky was becoming more and more uneasy under Zhao Yun's gaze, Zhao Yun immediately began to find a topic to avoid embarrassment.

Glancing deeply at Rokossovsky, Zhao Yunzheng asked, "Let me ask you, now that you have abundant soldiers and horses, why don't you directly send troops to capture Novosibirsk, which is only garrisoned by thousands of Soviet troops?" ”

Zhao Yun asked Rokossovsky a question that even Shaolin was very puzzled about, the White Russian army is claimed to be 500,000, and even if it is only 100,000, it is capable of capturing or besieging Novosibirsk, after all, after conquering Krasnoyarsk, the next stop will definitely be Novosibirsk. Moreover, Novosibirsk is also the only "nail" stronghold of the Soviet Russian army outside Krasnoyarsk at present, that is, this stronghold cannot be taken by the Belarusian army without spending a little effort.

But, oddly enough, Rokossovsky did not do that. There was no division of troops, and they were all in one place, all of them came to Krasnoyarsk, and even in the direction of Novosibirsk, there were no sniper soldiers.

"Report to the boss...... Rokossovsky thought to himself about the words, and then said, "This is the general's own idea, and the general thinks that whether or not to take Novosibirsk will not change the current situation of the war?" So there was no division of troops! ”

"No division of troops?" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, it is true that Novosibirsk is a strategic town, but compared with Krasnoyarsk City, the first city in Siberia, it is just a strategic town, and Zhao Yun does not have the technology and equipment he needs most, at most he has some military repair shops and factories responsible for railway repair. At this moment, Novosibirsk is not the big city that claims to be the third most populous city in Soviet Russia, and it has not been reclaimed by later generations of Soviet Russia, and is at best an important military stronghold. Geographically, Novosibirsk was at best a stronghold of a front line into Western Siberia, but when Rokossovsky took Krasnoyarsk, it became irrelevant whether the White Russian army in the city could take Novosibirsk or not, because Zhao Yun's previous order was to obtain technology, equipment and skilled workers, all of which were in Krasnoyarsk.

If Rokossovsky's Western Expeditionary Army was a partial division of the White Russian Army, then the Soviet Russian army stationed in Novosibirsk was only a partial division of the Soviet Russian Army in Saulin, and the original purpose of the Soviet Russian army was to prevent the enemy from entering Western Siberia from this place.

And after capturing the city of Krasnoyarsk and defeating the main force of the Soviet Russian army, the White Russian army wants to enter Western Siberia, then only a partial division of the Western Expeditionary Army can attack Novosibirsk at any time, reaching the Eurasian dividing line, the Ural Mountains.

"So it doesn't matter if you take Novosibirsk or not! Although our army numbered 500,000 men, most of them were infantry, and their mobility was insufficient, and they could not catch up with Novosibirsk in three days. Instead of wasting this team on the road, it is better to add them to the siege team as well.

And on the other hand, Novosibirsk, although it is the foreign aid of Soviet Russia Shaolin, has only a few thousand troops, and when it comes to field battles out of the city, there is no threat. But with the complete fortifications of Novosibirsk, it will be difficult to deal with, if those newly attached White Russian troops attack Novosibirsk is unfavorable and suffer excessive losses, it will also affect the morale of the entire army. So the last general thought, let's keep Novosibirsk first, maybe I can make the Soviet Russian troops in the city think that they still have a way to retreat, so as not to be too desperate...... In fact, the previous general also wanted to try a trick in Huaxia to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", well, but according to the cautious character of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, Shaolin, even if we besiege Novosibirsk, it is not easy for him to make a move to rescue this city! So the last general gave up. ”

"Hmm......" Holding the ginseng tea, Zhao Yun nodded slightly, in fact, he was not in much of a hurry about the battle situation, he just wanted to test again whether Rokossovsky's ability could take on the heavy responsibility of the Western Expedition. After all, compared to whether the battle is smooth or not, what Rokossovsky's ability is, this is what Zhao Yun is most concerned about. Now Zhao Yun's subordinates are short of talents!

But in terms of results...... Not bad! Ruthless! Tough! There is the wind of a general! "In order for you to quickly capture this city, I have brought you a siege weapon this time!" Zhao Yun smiled and pointed to the back of the carriage.

"It's a giant cannon!" Although Rokossovsky thought that he had seen a lot of heavy artillery in the Soviet Russian army, his eyes lit up when he saw this cannon at the beginning, and after observing it for a minute, he was even more surprised, and his heart was full of confidence that he would capture the city within three days.

In fact, this is pure nonsense, this heavy artillery is actually a kind of giant mortar cannon, that is, the kind that Zhao Yun used to deal with British gunboats when he was in Jinling. In Outer Mongolia, it has been improved by Soviet and Russian technical experts who were captured in the early stage, although it is only a small change, it is also a fusion of the consistent simplified methods of Soviet Russia, and the chassis of this heavy gun has been changed to be more suitable for transportation! However, in the face of Rokossovsky's words of praise, Zhao Yun came over and reminded, "Don't think that there is only this one, I have prepared a total of five for you this time." ”
