Chapter 286: Burning the Noose

At the same time that Emperor Meiji was worried about the reality and future of Japan, there was a rare day of pause on the battlefield in Eastern Russia, and neither side had any intention of going to war. Dragomilov took advantage of this opportunity to have a pontoon bridge over the Yenisei River rebuilt, and although it was not possible to transport heavy supplies, the movement of people was greatly eased. The divisions that had decided to retreat before the east bank also began to pack their bags and prepare for departure. Of course, the construction of the pontoon bridge could not be done at one touch, and it took most of the day. It is obviously too late to transfer troops today, but even so, a small number of Russian troops have moved to the west bank of the Yenisei River in the dark, and it may be more appropriate to escape!

However, the 28th Division, commanded by Vasilyevich, can only be described as unlucky, they were one of the four great regiments that were ordered by Dragomirov to stay on the east bank of the Yenisei River. Seeing the laughter and laughter of the soldiers of the fraternal troops, with a posture of escaping and ascending to heaven, it is inevitable that I will feel unfair.

"A group of cowards who were scared to pee their pants in the Northeast, and they could escape so happily, it was really a shame for the empire, and the tsar should have turned them all into serfs, castrated their eggs, and made them wear women's clothes for the rest of their lives. God bless them when they crossed the river, the pontoon broke and sank to the bottom of the river to feed the fish. A soldier cursed as he angrily nibbled on black bread as hard as a stone.

"That's all cheap!" The other soldiers reacted in the same way.

Vasilyevich happened to be passing by the trenches at this time, and it was difficult not to hear the discussion of the soldiers in his division. A staff officer followed Vasilyevich and cursed casually, and the soldiers complained that they had temporarily calmed down, but everyone understood that the soldiers' grievances were gathering. Once something provokes them again, there is no guarantee that there will be no possibility of mutiny.

The staff members who followed him were all worried, and although Vasilyevich still had a calm look on his face, his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed. He was shocked to see the injustice in the eyes of the soldiers, to see the anger in their eyes, and even to the fact that some of them had been filled with hatred. And these negative feelings are not because of the Northeast Insurance Team on the opposite side, but the target is the comrades-in-arms of their own brother units, the officers in their own divisions, and the headquarters of the Russian army on the west bank of the Yenisei River. Even he became the object of hatred of some fighters, which greatly surprised Vasilyevich.

In the Far East battlefield, the Russian army mutiny has happened, compared with the cruel and bloody treatment of Russian troops and civilians in the northeast, they treat the soldiers who surrender voluntarily to be very generous. Generally, they are sent to Southeast Asia and Africa, where they are discharged and returned to agriculture and a certain amount of land is distributed. However, this kind of preferential treatment is limited to voluntary surrender, as for the surrendered prisoners after being surrounded, the Northeast will not give any preferential treatment, and it is quite a happy thing to be a laborer, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are basically slaughtered.

"Commander, it's not a way to go on like this, sooner or later there will be big problems." The staff officer reminded.

But this was in Vasilyevich's ears, almost like nonsense, and he knew it in his heart. It's just that at this critical moment, the slightest wind and grass may cause a thunderstorm, so he, the division commander, naturally can't mess up his position, so he has to say patiently: "What do you all think?" ”

Staff officers, you look at me, I look at you, in the face of the situation in front of them, they are also helpless.

Vasilyevich scolded secretly, a bunch of rubbish! He didn't speak, and took people back to the division headquarters directly. According to Vasilyevich's understanding of Zheng Haitao, the commander-in-chief of the western front of the Northeast Insurance Team, the other party has become more and more mature in the past two years, and the insurance team is not moving, and it is amazing. Judging by the past few years, most of your own forces will have difficulty withstanding the attacks that have been gathering momentum for a long time. If it weren't for Skobelev's commander, the Krasnoyarks front line would have been tug-of-war several times, and the Russian army would have filled it with human lives to stabilize the war.

However, this comeback in the Northeast will definitely not be taken lightly! And the prestigious commander-in-chief Skobelev in the Far East has been dismissed and degraded by the tsar. Seeing that the people's hearts were unstable and the building was about to collapse, Vasilyevich found that his division had fallen into the hands of Dragomilov, the stepmother, and the future was uncertain, which was the truest feeling of all the soldiers in the division.

No one has two heads on their necks, even if they carry two, they are not necessarily enough for the gangs of bandit butchers of the Northeast Insurance Team to kill!

Speaking of which, Vasilyevich's division, although not the first to follow General Skobelev to the Far East, can be considered in the front row! God is above, he Vasilyevich has never been on the battlefield, he has shouted bitterness, he has said that he is tired! has been working hard and complaining, and at the worst time, the entire division was almost eliminated. The soldiers were born and died, and among the troops in the same period, who could be saved under the strong attack of the Northeast Insurance Brigade, Vasilyevich did not dare to say that his division was the only one left, but it was also a rare feather.

However, such a division known for its tenacity and tenacity, which was not wiped out on the battlefield by the Northeast Insurance Team before, may be buried by the factional struggle within the empire today. This kind of thing is beyond the limits of Vasilyevich's endurance, he is also human, and it is impossible not to be angry.

"Dragomilov, don't think that I, Vasilyevich, am a bully, and today I forced our division to this role. If my 28th division is okay, forget it, if there is a case, in the name of the Holy Father and the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son, I, Vasilyevich, swear hereby that even if the Tsar protects you, I will kill your entire family. ”

At a time when there was a sense of uncertainty on the east bank of the Yenisei River, the 15th batch of mammoth transport airships at the Tyshet Air Force Temporary Base east of Krasnoyarks had just returned to the Northeast Autonomous Region after overhaul. The main cargo they have been transporting in recent times is not only the most urgently needed supplies on the front line, but also some strange big guys.

"Four meters long, one meter three in diameter, the captain said that this thing is called a cloud burst bomb, is it specifically powerful? You'll know then. The person who said this was Zhao Ziguang, the commander of the Northeast Air Force, and the person who spoke to him was Zheng Haitao, and there was Xiang Long next to him.

The cloudburst bomb in the Northeast is very primitive, and unlike the modern cloudburst bomb that detonates once, this thing also has to go through the original two detonations. The outer shell is made of steel and the interior is filled with ethylene oxide. Due to the limitations of scientific and technological conditions, the Northeast can only adopt the most primitive way to manufacture ethylene oxide, and the material is ethanol, which is prepared by guò chlorohydride method. Of course, the produced ethylene oxide is more used in industrial production, widely used in washing, pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing industries. Only a small part is used for military purposes, because it is flammable and explosive, so it is extremely cumbersome to transport.

However, what Zhao Ziguang is introducing now is the latest one-time explosion cloud burst bomb developed in Northeast China, which is very close to later generations in principle.
