After deciding to retreat, the remaining 4 guards and 8 field armies of the Imperial Chinese Army on the front line of Ufa City immediately sent a telegram to the Ministry of Defense in Beijing City, telling them that they were going to withdraw, and the Ministry of Defense immediately replied with a telegram, agreeing that the 12 main forces of Ufa City should withdraw from the front line and retreat directly to the area east of the Ural Mountains.

Lin Daxin, who was in the Forbidden City, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news of the safety of Zwutoust City, so that the main forces of more than a dozen Royal Chinese Army troops in Ufa City would not be surrounded by the coalition forces to the west of the Ural Mountains, and could temporarily retreat to Chelyabinsk City to rest for a period of time in preparation for another battle.

Lin Daxin learned that the city of Zwutoust behind the city of Ufa was suddenly attacked by the superior forces of the coalition army, and immediately felt that the situation was not good, if the coalition army conquered the city of Zwutoust, it would be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of more than a dozen main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire in Ufa City, if the troops who returned to the city of Ufa could not quickly recapture the city of Zwutoust, more than a dozen main forces would be in danger, after all, because of the blizzard, the ammunition and food of the more than a dozen main forces were running out.

Lin Daxin even asked the Air Force to prepare a transport plane, if the dozen or so main forces in Ufa City were really surrounded by the coalition forces to the west of the Ural Mountains, Lin Daxin would no longer care about anything else, and would use his golden finger to fly directly from Beijing to the front line of Ufa City to help the dozen or so main forces in Ufa City tide over the difficulties, and these dozen or so main forces must not lose.

Lin Daxin was going to transport a large amount of ammunition and food directly to the future time and space here in Beijing City, and then he rushed to the front line of Ufa City by transport plane. Then move those ammunition and food from the future time and space back to this time and space, and solve the ammunition and food problems of more than a dozen main forces on the front line of Ufa City. In that case, the coalition forces would absolutely not be able to prevent the withdrawal of a dozen or so main armies to the area east of the Ural Mountains. Even if it is to launch an attack on Ufa City again, it is not impossible to take Ufa City.

Of course, if Lin Daxin does that, his secret must be exposed, and people all over the world will know that he has a mysterious power beyond nature, Lin Daxin had such and such a magic before, no matter what, he can cover it up, at most it will arouse the suspicion of others, this time if Lin Daxin makes enough ammunition and food for more than 1 million Chinese Imperial Royal Army out of thin air on the front line of Ufa City. Even a fool knows that Lin Daxin is different from ordinary people.

However, Lin Daxin also thought about it, anyway, he is already the emperor of the Chinese Empire, just to make such a miraculous thing, find the most far-fetched reason, I believe that no one in the Chinese Empire will dare to get to the bottom of it, for example, he has the help of the gods, and he can also mythologize himself as the emperor, and those foreign people will let them guess, no matter what. He must not watch more than a dozen main forces of the Imperial Chinese Army being surrounded and annihilated.

Now that Ziutoust City is safe and secure, the remaining more than 1 million troops in Ufa City are also ready to retreat, and Lin Daxin does not need to use his golden finger in front of the world, Lin Daxin's heart is suddenly much more relaxed. Although Lin Daxin became the emperor of the Chinese Empire, he was still willing to be a man and did not want to be a god.

Lin Daxin summoned Wu Peifu, the minister of national defense, to the palace. He said to Wu Peifu: "Ziyu, the troops on the front line of Ufa City have retreated to the area east of the Ural Mountains this time. Where will a blocking position be established, but the coalition forces will not be allowed to follow all the time. ”

Wu Peifu said: "According to the information that the front-line troops have responded to. Our Ministry of Defense ordered the troops retreating from the city of Ufa to build positions in the gorge between the Ural Mountains, as well as on the mountains near the gorges, to block the continuation of the coalition counteroffensive to the east of the Ural Mountains. ”

Lin Daxin nodded and continued to ask: "The troops are blocking in the Ural Mountains, so what about the logistics?" ”

Wu Peifu said: "The emperor can rest assured that there is no snowstorm in the area east of the Ural Mountains, and we have hoarded a large amount of war materials in the city of Chelyabinsk, and the city of Chelyabinsk is not far from the Ural Mountains, which can completely guarantee the logistics of the blocking troops in the Ural Mountains." ”

Lin Daxin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This time the troops retreated to the east of the Ural Mountains, so for a period of time after the Russian battlefield, our task is to block the counterattack of the coalition forces in the Ural Mountains, and the next most important task is to rebuild the railway that occupies the east of the Russian Ural Mountains. ”

The 12 main armies of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire on the front line of Ufa City, it is not so easy to retreat, a lot of heavy equipment must be taken away, it is absolutely impossible to leave it to the coalition army, and there are hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who were injured in the battle, they must all be taken away, and there are tens of thousands of seriously wounded, it is definitely not an easy thing to transport them all back to the east of the Ural Mountains, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in battle, their ashes also need to be taken away, and it is impossible to take away the remains of all the soldiers who died in the war now, The ashes can only be taken away and handed over to the families of the fallen officers and soldiers.

The most important thing is that the coalition forces will not let the Chinese Imperial army retreat easily, they will definitely chase after them, constantly launching attacks, trying to inflict greater losses on the Chinese Imperial army.

Therefore, in order to retreat smoothly, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire here in Ufa City left the Third Field Army as the rear force, responsible for blocking the pursuing force of the coalition army, so that the large army here in Ufa City could smoothly withdraw to the area east of the Ural Mountains.

Early in the morning of January 4, 1909, the snowstorm that had been blowing for several days suddenly stopped, which made the commanders of the main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire here in Ufa City breathe a sigh of relief, but their retreat plan has not changed, after all, during the blizzard, the ammunition and food reserves of more than a dozen main forces have been almost used, even if the air transportation is resumed, it cannot meet the current consumption of nearly 1.4 million troops of the 12 main forces, and it is easy to be self-defeating to continue to attack Ufa City. Trap these 12 main forces here in the city of Ufa.

So early in the morning of January 4, the troops of the Third Field Army began to take over the positions outside the city of Ufa to the west, which were still controlled by the Chinese Imperial Army. The rest of the troops began to pack their bags and left the battlefield of Ufa City one after another. Retreat in the direction of the Ural Mountains, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Third Field Army. The other main forces also left most of the ammunition for the Third Field Army, otherwise the Third Field Army, which lacked ammunition, would have blocked millions of coalition troops, which would definitely be an act of death.

Soon the coalition forces discovered the abnormality of the Chinese Imperial army outside the city of Ufa, and it seemed that the army of the Chinese Empire could not hold out here in the city of Ufa, and they had to smear the soles of their feet with oil.

Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, German Army General Paul? Feng? Hindenburg was very depressed when they received the news of the defeat in the capture of the city of Zwutoust, and the 600,000 elite coalition troops, which were all composed of the German Army, the French Army and the Russian Army, which were more than 20,000 troops with strong combat effectiveness, actually attacked the city of Zwutoust, which was defended by more than 20,000 second-line troops of the Imperial Chinese Army, for more than 40 hours without completely taking it. Then it was defeated by the Chinese Imperial Army that came back from Ufa City, and the 600,000 elite troops turned out to be less than 100,000 now, which is really infuriating.

You must know that these 600,000 allied troops are not the armies of Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, like the armies of these three countries, Hindenburg is noncommittal about their combat effectiveness, in the small town of Miado between Ufa City and Zutoust City, 5 infantry divisions of the Italian Army, 5 infantry divisions of the Austro-Hungarian Army and 5 infantry divisions of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army were easily defeated by the Chinese Imperial Army that returned to the city of Zwutoust from Ufa City, and Hindenburg was not surprised. The purpose of his sending of these 150,000 troops was only to buy more time for the 600,000 elite coalition troops attacking the city of Zwutoust.

Now the 600,000 elite army is too speechless, and the city of Ziutoust has not been conquered, and the back road of the more than 1 million troops of the Chinese Empire here in Ufa City is still unimpeded. Hindenburg's plan to encircle and annihilate for a long time was completely lost.

At this time, Hindenburg received the news that the Chinese Imperial army here in Ufa City had begun to retreat, and there was no expression of joy on his face. He said to the army commanders of other countries: "Now that the city of Ziutoust is still under the control of the Chinese Imperial Army, our plan to encircle and annihilate all the Chinese Imperial Army here in Ufa City to the west of the Ural Mountains is impossible to achieve. Now that the Chinese Imperial forces here in Ufa City have begun to retreat, we must defeat the troops they left behind as soon as possible. Then we will pursue the retreating Chinese Imperial Army, that is, we will not be able to completely annihilate this Chinese Imperial Army of more than 1 million in the west of the Ural Mountains, and we must also leave most of them behind to create favorable conditions for our subsequent counterattack on the areas east of the Ural Mountains. ”

For the Chinese Imperial Army here in Ufa City began to retreat, the six commanders of the other countries of the coalition army were very happy, and now the Chinese Imperial Army, which is recognized as the strongest army in the world, can be repelled by them here in Ufa City, which is already a very great achievement, with this merit, they return to their respective countries, and it is necessary to be promoted and rich.

Now the Chinese Imperial Army here in Ufa City has begun to retreat, it is the time to beat the water dogs, the six commanders are very excited, French Army General Joyles said: "We gave the Chinese Imperial Army a very big blow during the blizzard, and now although the blizzard has stopped, the Chinese Imperial Army does not dare to continue to stay here in Ufa City, and begins to escape, we must not let them escape so easily, now is the time to pursue the victory, I think we can even chase through the Ural Mountains in one fell swoop and directly counterattack the areas east of the Ural Mountains. ”

Russian Army General Sonokopsky immediately said: "I think it is okay, if we attack the area east of the Ural Mountains, our Tsar Majesty of the Russian Empire will definitely send no less than one million troops to support us and replenish our lost troops, and I believe that when the time comes, reinforcements from other countries will also be sent to us, and it is not impossible for us to fight all the way to the land of the Chinese Empire." ”

The current battlefield is all on Russian soil, and if the counteroffensive can enter the east of the Ural Mountains, the Russians will be jumping high to support, and the Russian tsar will definitely do his best to mobilize more Russian troops to support the counteroffensive troops.

After the tragic offensive and defensive battles here in Ufa City, and counting the losses of the coalition forces attacking Zwutoust City, as well as the coalition officers and soldiers who were frozen to death in the blizzard, the number of killed and missing coalition troops has exceeded 3.2 million, and the number of wounded is also hundreds of thousands, but the coalition forces here in Ufa City can still take out more than 3 million troops and put them into the next battle, if the coalition forces in Ufa City can continue to be supported by the Entente and the Allied Powers, the strength will return to more than 5 million, it is still very easy, This is also the basis for the confidence of the coalition commanders in the counterattack on the area east of the Ural Mountains.

Hindenburg said to the commanders of the other countries in a deep voice: "Let's defeat the troops behind the palace here in Ufa City of the Chinese Empire first, and then study other problems!" But now that the blizzard has stopped, the fighters of the Chinese Empire will return to the sky, and our next pursuit battle may not be so smooth. ”

The situation was indeed as expected by Hindenburg, it was very unsmooth, and the Third Field Army of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, relying on the positions still controlled in the west outside the city of Ufa, stubbornly resisted the pursuing forces of the coalition forces, and the improved Yellow Sparrow combat effectiveness and improved Blue Eagle bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, which had not appeared for several days, began to bomb the coalition forces in turn.

Although many new anti-aircraft guns and new anti-aircraft machine guns arrived at the front line of Ufa City during the snowstorm, the coalition forces still had a drop in the bucket in the face of more than 1,000 warplanes of the Chinese Empire.

On many occasions, the allied attacking troops were bombed and collapsed by the fighters of the Chinese Empire before they could get close to the positions of the Third Field Army, and the allied forces could only attack at night, and there were still some results, but as soon as the day came, the allied forces' attack on the Third Field Army became weak.

The Third Field Army began to serve as the rear force of the palace from January 4, 1909, and has been resisting the onslaught of the coalition forces outside the city of Ufa for three days, and at noon on January 7, it began to retreat while fighting, at this time the 11 main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, which had retreated from the city of Ufa three days earlier, had withdrawn across the Ural Mountains and established a blocking position in the Ural Mountains.

The coalition forces are still in pursuit of the Third Field Army, your main forces are gone, and now your troops behind the palace must stay, but unfortunately the wishful thinking of the coalition forces was smashed by the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, relying on the bombing of the Chinese Imperial fighters in turn, the Third Field Army successfully distanced itself from the pursuing coalition forces behind, and retreated all the way through the Ural Mountains.
