Preparations for an attack on Russia had begun since the winter of last year, but by the time the Foreign Legion had set out, it was already the end of April 1919. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the civil war in Russia was also divided into the Eastern Front and the Western Front, the Western Front was led by the troops of Denikin and Yudenich, and the Eastern Front was the Provisional Government Army led by Kolchak.

In order to distinguish themselves from the Russian Bolshevik army, the army led by Kolchak is tentatively called the "White Army".

Slightly different from the original history, in order to wait for Qin Zhiyuan's final decision, Kolchak's troops have not launched an attack until now, and the Russian Bolsheviks are also accumulating strength, and they are all waiting for Qin Zhiyuan's decision.

Waiting to see if the Foreign Legion will join the war.

This will be a force that can change the balance of power on the battlefield.

At the end of April, the Foreign Legion in France set out from its stations in Reims and Capi and entered Lublin in Poland via Germany to prepare for an offensive against Moscow.

At the same time, the first echelon of Lan Fang's Northern Expeditionary Corps also began to board ships, escorted by the French Far East Fleet and the British Far East Fleet, and went north in batches, preparing to attack Vladivostok and Sakhalin.

To tell the truth, in view of the bad relationship between Lan Fang and Japan, without the escort of the British and French fleets, Qin Zhiyuan really did not dare to let the cruise ship carrying troops pass through the Taiwan Strait and the Tsushima Strait.

God knows if the Japanese will repeat the "Mediterranean incident", in case he is determined to avenge the Sixth Division, Qin Zhiyuan does not want to risk the lives of the soldiers.

In fact, Vladivostok is basically in an unprotected state now.

Because of the partition of the Provisional Government, the Bolsheviks in Moscow had no jurisdiction over Vladivostok, and the Provisional Government had already abandoned the Far East, including Vladivostok and Sakhalin, and the Northern Expeditionary Corps was more of a receiver than a battle.

Compared to the Northern Expeditionary Corps, the pressure on the Foreign Legion was much greater.

The direction of the advance of the Foreign Legion was Lublin, from which it was about 1100 km from Moscow.

Just when the Foreign Legion went to Lublin, Anton Ivanovich Denikin, who was originally stationed in Poland, launched an offensive in advance, and had already captured Kiev, attacking in the direction of Moscow from here.

The Foreign Legion, which entered Russia with a total of 100,000 men, was divided into four divisions, starting from Kiev and attacking Moscow directly along Kursk and Tula.

By the way, the Foreign Legion was the main force in the assault on Moscow, and Denikin and Kolchak were only responsible for cooperating with the attack, which was part of the original plan.

No way, in the First World War just past, the performance of the Russian army was so poor, Qin Zhiyuan did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, Clemenceau did not believe it, and even Kolchak and Denikin did not believe it.

Otherwise, Kolchak and Denikin they would not have waited for the Foreign Legion and would have begun to attack Moscow early.

The attack on Moscow can be seen as a sign in the battle against Russia, if Russia is captured, it will be an unexpected defeat for Russia, and the psychological blow to the Russians is incomparable.

Therefore, whether it is Napoleon or Hitler, the ultimate goal will be to capture Russia, and Qin Zhiyuan is the same.

The 3rd Division of the Foreign Legion, which was the vanguard of the Foreign Legion, was composed mainly of Chinese and Germans.

In the immediate aftermath of the World War, the Allies had too much military supplies to dispose of, so the Foreign Legion was well supplied, and the ratio of artillery to heavy machine guns was even more frustrating than before.

At present, the Foreign Legion, 120 mm caliber guns have been equipped to the regimental level, heavy machine guns have been equipped to the platoon level, each squad has two Lewis machine guns, and the firepower density can be ranked among the highest in the world.

The 3rd Division is the line head unit of the Foreign Legion, and the 7th Regiment is the line head unit of the 3rd Division, and at the forefront of the entire front is the first company of the 1st Battalion of the 7th Regiment.

Company commander Chen Yongfu is a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, and Qin Zhiyuan is a fellow countryman. This is also an old qualification, but it's a pity that he followed Qin Yunpeng at the beginning, and later transferred to Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates, and made several mistakes in the Battle of Reims, so he is only a company commander now.

Although the official position is only a company commander and the rank is only captain, if it comes to combat, Chen Yongfu is very experienced, starting from the spring offensive of 1917, Chen Yongfu participated in almost all the battles of the Foreign Legion, which is a standard professional soldier.

"I heard that you also made a mistake and were assigned?" In the command car, Chen Yongfu collapsed on the sofa and asked Zheng Jing.

Because the Foreign Legion has enough supplies, the armored vehicles have been equipped to the company level, and as a company commander, Chen Yongfu can naturally requisition one as a command vehicle.

Zheng Jing is also the incognito Zheng Daling, although Zheng Dali did not really shoot him that day, he was also beaten firmly, and then he was thrown directly to the Foreign Legion.

Hearing Chen Yongfu's question, Zheng Jing raised his eyes and did not answer, perhaps the "again" in Chen Yongfu's words touched him, otherwise, it is estimated that he would not even react.

"Damn, look forward to it every day, look forward to it every night, just give Pan such a stuffy gourd, you won't squeak the fuck?" Chen Yongfu really couldn't look past Zheng Jing's dead appearance, and he was kicked when he went up.

One kick!

Yes, corporal punishment is not prohibited in the Foreign Legion, on the contrary, many officers tend to encourage it, believing that it is an effective way to quickly bring officers and soldiers closer together.

Zheng Jing is nominally the deputy commander of the first company, and he is Chen Yongfu's partner, of course Chen Yongfu also hopes to have a good relationship with Zheng Jing, but on the way from Paris to Kiev, Chen Yongfu has already died.

Sure enough, Zheng Jing didn't react to Chen Yongfu's violent behavior, and he didn't even bother to pat the dust on his thighs, just silently stayed away from Chen Yongfu.

"......" If it weren't for the scruples of raising his head three feet to have a god, Chen Yongfu really wanted to scold God.

Bang Bang Tie ......

There was a loud slap at the door of the armored car, and it sounded less like a hand, but with a stone or a rifle butt.

"Sir, there's Lyubimovka ahead, and we're going to camp." A gruff voice came from outside the armored car.

Chen Yongfu vigorously pushed the car door and jumped down with a punch and kick: "Damn Carl Feng, how many times have I told you that you are not allowed to destroy public property, why don't you have any public morality?" Is your meagre salary enough to compensate you......"

There were all kinds of cheers and strange cries from the marching procession, mixed with Chen Yongfu's angry scolding and Carl Feng's begging for mercy, which was very lively.

Carl von was the platoon commander of the first platoon, a veteran from Germany with seven years of military experience, his real name was Carl von Dunlop, and there was a "von" in the middle of his name to indicate that Carl von came from an aristocratic family, but no one cared about this in the Foreign Legion, which could be heard from the ridicule and heckling of the soldiers.

"Sir, this is an act of corporal punishment, I want to complain to ......Mr. Corps Commander" Carl Feng was not to be outdone, although he held his head and hit casually, he refused to admit defeat in his mouth.

The relationship between the Chinese and the German soldiers was peculiar, perhaps because they admired each other for their performance as opponents, so after the re-establishment of the Foreign Legion, when these Germans joined the Foreign Legion, the Chinese and Germans quickly blended together, and the degree of rapport was surprising.

"Hey...... Do you still dare to sue? Lao Tzu must teach you a lesson...... "Chen Yongfu is unrelenting."

Don't look at Chen Yongfu's scolding, in fact, he has a very good relationship with Carl Feng, who is one of the few people in the First Company who can speak French, because of his experience in a Foreign Legion prisoner of war camp, he can actually speak a few words of Chinese, which is a rare person Chen Yongfu can communicate with in the army.

There is no way, in the entire first company, only Chen Yongfu and Zheng Jing are Chinese, and Zheng Jing is a stuffy gourd, you can imagine how much Chen Yongfu hopes to have a communication partner.

Just as the two were frolicking and a group of soldiers were watching the excitement, a familiar whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Shelling......" Someone immediately shouted heartbreakingly.

All of them were veterans, who had at least been in the war for a year or two, so they naturally knew how to deal with the shelling.

When they heard the cannonballs whistling in the air, almost everyone squatted down and opened their mouths wide, and the rest was up to God's arrangement.

"Wipe ......" Chen Yongfu suddenly remembered Zheng Jing in the armored car, and immediately jumped up and rushed towards the armored car.

"Chen, be careful......" Calvon reminded.

In the ranks of the first company, there were only two armored vehicles, and then five trucks, an obvious problem, if the Russians were going to shell, the armored vehicles would definitely be the first target, then the trucks, and finally the infantry.

So just as the whistling sounded, the soldiers on the truck had already jumped out of the truck and fled for their lives, and all the vehicles began to maneuver in an "S" shape to avoid being directly hit by the shells.

Fortunately, those Russians did not have heavy artillery in their hands.

"Hurry up, you can't fucking wait here to die?" In the armored car, Chen Yongfu grabbed Zheng Jing by the collar and dragged him out, and when he walked to the door of the car, he simply kicked Zheng Jing down.

Zheng Jing still didn't react, rolled on the ground twice, sat on the ground and hugged his knees and looked at the flames and smoke caused by the explosion of the shell in a daze.

"Don't sit, squat down......" Chen Yongfu didn't kick this time, probably because he would be hurt more seriously if he kicked down.

At this time, Chen Yongfu and Zheng Jing were already surrounded by a sea of fire.

Shells streaked through the air, sending out a heart-rending screech, followed by a deafening explosion.

Every time an explosion sounds, it is accompanied by black and red flames and gunsmoke, the ground will tremble violently, people will have no roots under their feet as if they are standing on the surface of a drum, and then all kinds of things will "crackle" down in the air, there will be dirt stirred up by exploding shells, and there will also be stumps and broken arms of unlucky people.

It's hell!
