The rolling torrent of metal spread to the main artery of the Far East extending from the Ural Mountains, and countless soldiers in Soviet winter coats, armed with weapons, marched neatly forward under the guidance of the Soviet Russian flag, and the footsteps of horses' hooves and military boots stirred up large snowfalls.

On a hill near the railway, a gust of wind blew, blowing snow flying, flags were hunting, and the officers standing on the hill, regardless of the cold wind, just looked down.

I saw the dense steel helmets shaking, the layers of bayonets shining silver in the sun, people did not dare to look directly, the stars on the epaulettes followed the pace, rhythmically shining light, and the brilliance of the continuous steel helmets and bayonets spread on both sides of the railway, the front did not see the head, the back did not see the tail.

"Captain, the day after tomorrow, our army will be able to reach a place two hundred versts outside the city of Novosibirsk."

"Well, it is said that the day before yesterday, our army scouted the cavalry and already fought with the opponent's cavalry."

"How's the battle going?" A group of Soviet and Russian soldiers excitedly discussed the battle situation at the front.

"At best, it's a no-brainer, but I guess it's our people who suffered a little loss, otherwise you wouldn't have seen that there are still cavalry around us now, and they are all rushing to the front to help their brothers find a field." A Russian infantryman wiped the snow from his face and said with a sigh.

Hearing this, some people were dissatisfied, "Comrade, we are comrades, there is no saying that we are brothers, and there is no saying that we are looking for a field, we are going to lead the army!" Do you understand!? A cavalryman, who was on his way and had not yet rushed to the front line, heard two infantrymen talking, immediately turned his horse's head and came to "correct".

"Okay, my cavalry comrade, you are going to lead the army, so you can sue me, how is the situation in front now?"

"It is said that the other side is not as stupid as our commander who defended Krasnoyarsk, and contributed all the fortifications outside the city. They sent a force of 100,000 men to 150 versts outside the city to dig fortifications and lay out forward positions. He sent a force of 100,000 men to dig fortifications eighty miles outside the city! ”

"One hundred thousand?! Another 100,000?! Everyone was shocked, when did the team of 100,000 people become so worthless.

"They really look up to us, we only have a total of 6,524 people in one brigade."

"Who knows? What is going on in the minds of which White Russians, how will we know! But now we're on the offensive and it's ......."

"Shut up, who let you talk on the march!" An officer of the law enforcement team rode up on horseback to reprimand him, and everyone immediately shut up.

In December 1922, the main force of the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army successfully ended the East Siberian and Central Siberian campaigns, captured Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk and other cities, and had not yet begun the follow-up campaign to sweep Western Siberia, and on December 14, Moscow sent a telegram to all commanders of all military districts in the Ural region of Soviet Russia, demanding that the White Russian army could not be allowed to stand on its feet, and that it must fight continuously regardless of bad weather, and launch the campaign to conquer (Krasnoyarsk) and aid New Zealand (Novosibirsk). On the 26th, four telegrams were sent in succession instructing the remaining troops of the Ural Military District to put forward specific plans for aiding Xindake in advance in the absence of reinforcements, such as seizing military stations along the way, preparing trains, and preparing to fight the new troops in Ulan-Ude and Chita. Later on the 26th, the Ural Military District of Soviet Russia sent a telegram back, based on the fact that the troops had been fighting in the mountains before, fighting continuously, they were very tired, and they urgently needed to rest and replenish, and it was not appropriate to attack Krasnoyarsk immediately, and it was necessary to take a week of rest to avoid the recent wind and snow weather, and in view of the bad weather in the Far East, the request was agreed to by Moscow.

However, during the rest and recuperation of the Ural Military District, on January 2, Moscow sent another telegram instructing the commander of the Ural Military District, instructing the Ural to immediately abandon the rest and attack Novosibirsk after receiving the order. At this moment, the Soviet troops in the Urals learned that the city of Novosibirsk had surrendered without a fight. In response to Moscow's somewhat aggressive layer upon layer, the military commander of the Urals, after repeated consultations, sent a telegram to Moscow on January 4 to propose three operational plans: 1. Isolate Novosibirsk and annihilate the Western Expeditionary Army; 2. Attack the new first, and then send reinforcements; 3. Attack new reinforcements at the same time. On the morning of 6 January, Moscow replied to the telegram pointing out that it was necessary to establish the determination to conquer Novosibirsk, dare to attack the fortifications, and really attack Novosibirsk and send reinforcements. The city of Novosibirsk is a model, it is the pain of Soviet Russia, and the joy of White Russia, at this moment, not only the people in Russia are watching, but the international community is also paying attention, so Moscow is out of the way this time, and it must take the city of Novosibirsk.

Sometimes, though, things don't go according to the script. Just when Zhao Yun was waiting for the Russian army to come to retaliate, another team jumped out first, disrupting all the preparations of the Ural Military Region of Soviet Russia and Zhao Yun's Western Expeditionary Army.

The ranks of the White Russian uprising in Siberia were dominated by 34 barons, of which Zhao Yun recruited 17 and the other 17 in the vast Siberia. A few are close to Central Asia, a few are deep in the mountains and forests, but five are quite close to the Urals. After seeing the successive victories of the Western Expeditionary Army, they thought that the restoration of Tsarist Russia was imminent, although they had the idea of preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail in their hearts, and did not mix with the "Duma" of Ulan-Ude, but it did not mean that they had no ambitions.

As soon as there was a movement in the Ural Military District, the nearest Soviet Russian military district, these five barons gathered together and prepared to protect themselves. However, after a little inquiry, the people sent there learned that this time they did not come to encircle and suppress them, but to go south to attack the city of Novosibirsk. Now the 5 barons are not calm, your barons from the Far East have come to our Western Siberia, what can we do in the future? Obey your orders? Don't even think about it, everyone is a baron, and they all raised troops at the same time, why let Lao Tzu listen to you. Therefore, these 5 families sat down and summed it up, and then pulled together 2 barons hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, gathered more than 20,000 people, and followed Rokossovsky's example in Irkutsk, attacked several small cities in one go, and pulled all the people in the city into the ranks, men and women gathered 170,000 people, and claimed to be 200,000 to the outside world, and killed the base camp of the Ural Military District.

At this moment, the Ural Military District is already empty, and the mobilized forces are rushing to the city of Novosibirsk. But at the moment, the nest is not guaranteed, and the heads of the Ural Military District are also crazy. It's one thing to have a bad rescue, it's another to lose ground. At that moment, the Ural Military District immediately transferred back the troops that had already reached Omsk on the front line, despite Moscow's orders. As for the White Russian army, due to the large number of civilians brought in, dragging their families with their mouths, the daily stop-and-go is naturally not as fast as that of Soviet Russia by train and horseback.

Finally, five days after the White Russian army started its troops, a brigade and two regiments of Soviet Russia, nearly 10,000 people, faced 3 divisions and 9 brigades of the regular army of the White Russian army, 5 brigades of the irregular army, and more than 110,000 people. Here I want to explain that there are 3 divisions and 9 brigades, which refers to the 7 barons, each of which is considered an infantry brigade, and the extra two brigades, one is a baggage brigade and the other is a cavalry brigade cobbled together by 7 families. As for the 5 brigades of the irregular army of the White Russian Army, it refers to the irregular troops formed for the convenience of management with cannon fodder obtained from the previous cities.

But in any case, the ratio of forces between Soviet Russia and White Russia is 1:11, no matter how you look at this battle, Soviet Russia loses greatly, but the Russian army has no room for maneuver, Yekaterinburg was founded in 1723, named after Empress Catherine I, is the center of the Sverdlovsk region, and is also an important industrial, transport, trade, scientific, cultural and administrative center of the Urals. Located in the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains, on the banks of the Iset River, the city has always been an important transportation hub in Russia, and in later generations it was also the seat of the headquarters of the Central Military District of Russia.

At a time when the outside world was not optimistic about the Soviet Russian army, the battle came to a shocking reversal on January 11, and the Soviet Russian army easily routed most of the White Russian army. It took two hours to occupy the Chinese camp of the White Russian army. In the words of one of the Soviet generals at the time, it was only on foot to take over.

And 110,000 White Russians were killed in this battle, 5,000 were captured, 60,000 escaped, and the rest were scattered. On the 15th, the White Russian army near Tyumen in Siberia was caught by the Soviet Russian army again, and the two sides fought again, but the result was still that the White Russian army was defeated and fled, and only more than 22,000 people escaped the pursuit of the Soviet army across the Tobol River.

Because the war is developing so quickly, the outside world is full of confusion about the details of the battle. Although the Soviet and Russian sides won a big victory, they were silent, and it was only after the 7 White Russian troops fled all the way to Novosibirsk that Zhao Yun learned from them why they were defeated so quickly!

In fact, Zhao Yun didn't know that these White Russian "local tyrants" were so bold that they dared to attack the Soviet Russian military zone. is also lucky, although Zhao Yun has no intention of sending troops to attack, but there are no fewer scouts and scouts. After the seven White Russian "local tyrants" fled the Tobol River, at this time, a group of scouts of the Western Expeditionary Army came to the vicinity, and saw that the other party was also carrying the Tsarist flag of the double-headed eagle, and was being chased and killed by the Soviet Russian army, so they began to meet this rout while asking for help. The Soviet Russian army also saw that the other side had a receiving team, and at the same time was busy cleaning up the battlefield, and could not afford to send more teams to cross the river to pursue, so they let these remnants of the defeated army go and let the Western Expeditionary Army rescue them back to Novosibirsk.

But after receiving the battle report of the White Russian rout, Zhao Yun and the others were taken aback, 1:11, and the victory seemed to be effortless, the reason for this is either that the White Russia is too bad or the Soviet Russia is too strong. At the moment, it seems that the latter is more likely.

However, these high-level members of the White Russian army under Zhao Yun were just startled and began to move in an orderly manner, not because the combat strength of the White Russian Army was too poor, but because Zhao Yun and the others of the White Russian Army still knew their virtue and strength, and the reason why Zhao Yun and them were stable was because they finally knew the movements of the Soviet Russian army.
