"Is the whole army ready?" Yegorov sat in the conference room, listening to the reports of the ministries, while silently calculating the route back to Tyumen.

"Report, Commander! All are ready, and all the people in the city have been mobilized, and there are more than 20,000 people who are willing to go with us, and those who are unwilling, among them, the young and strong have also been recruited by us in the name of the people, about 5,000 people, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. "In the face of the all-out attack of the White Russian army, the whole army of Soviet Russia understood that it was impossible to hold this city.

"Well, try to recruit as many livestock as possible in the city, and take everything that can be taken with you in the city......"

Suddenly, an adjutant broke into the conference room, hurriedly walked to Yegorov's side, and whispered, "Commander, there is another large army coming from the east of the city, and the flag is that the reinforcements of White Russia have arrived." ”

Hearing the latest military information, Yegorov, the supreme commander in the conference room, was stunned for a moment. The rest of the officers, seeing Yegorov's expression, also knew that something must have happened.

"How many reinforcements does the other side have?" Yegorov took a deep breath, his face was very ugly, the news of the arrival of the White Russian reinforcements could not be concealed at all, rather than hiding it, it was better to take advantage of the presence of all the officers, say it happily, and everyone brainstormed and discussed a countermeasure.

In Yegorov's plan, he wanted to wait here for the rout of the first line of defense of Soviet Russia, but he didn't expect that Ishim was a decoy at all.

The second and third waves of the White Russian army also came very quickly. This second wave of the Belarusian Russian army refers to Rokossovsky's mixed cavalry and infantry regiment, which seems to be a miscellaneous team, and the elite of Belarus can be said to be on a par with itself. But with the addition of the third wave, the original number of five or five between the two armies will become four or six, or even three or seven.

Although I haven't seen with my own eyes what kind of reinforcements are at this moment, just listening to the previous report of the communication soldiers, we can be sure that these White Russian troops are basically 20,000, 40,000, or even 100,000, wave after wave of 100,000, and the lack of quality of the White Russian army has also been balanced in such a terrifying quantity.

"I can't see clearly, but the light is at the head of the North City, which is also covering the sky and the sun, endlessly, extending to the sky." The adjutant replied in trepidation.

"Has the East Gate been recaptured?"

Seeing his subordinates silently shaking their heads, Yegorov's face became even darker, he had been pressed by Rokossovsky's whole army and made a little nervous, after all, Rokossovsky had not used steady tactics until now, in case this white Russian army ignored the fatigue of the journey and directly entered the city through the east gate, how could this battle be fought?

"How long will it be before they get to us?"

"At the current pace of their march, it will take at least an hour before they reach the city." The adjutant looked at the senior officers in the conference room with a somewhat gloomy face and said uneasily.

"Then there's only a breakout." Suddenly, someone whispered.

Yegorov glanced at the officer who spoke, who was a deputy cadre of the former Siberian Military District, who had lost his command due to the abolition of the Siberian Military District and the takeover of Yegorov. This time, it was also because it was fighting in Siberia that Yegorov brought him out of Tyumen. Although what he said was very demoralizing, the officers present knew that there was absolutely no way out for the Soviet Russian army to be surrounded in Ishim.

But Yegorov thought more, and the other party dared to come to the aid in a big way, then it must have cleared the "obstacles" along the way, then the city of Omsk would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Yegorov's face suddenly became very cold, and his eyes flashed and said, "Judging from the number of enemy reinforcements, if we are surrounded, no matter how many sacrifices we make, some of the unwounded officers and soldiers can still stand out, but what about those sick and wounded?" These men accounted for at least seventy percent of the whole army, and all the only combat strength was gone, and these officers and men would certainly have no morale, and perhaps they would soon fall into complete chaos, and then they would have to be completely abandoned and handed over to the White Russians. And what about the morale of our army? Do you want to continue this battle? ”

Half an hour later, after some scorching discussions, the atmosphere in the conference room was dead, Yegorov's plan was adopted, or half adopted, some officers stayed, leading those wounded and sick and the people in the city to surrender to Rokossovsky, after all, Rokossovsky was also a Soviet military officer before, and after defecting to White Russia, he also took great care of the officers who relied on the Soviet side of Russia.

Although Rokossovsky was only a small cavalry commander before, and many of the officers in charge of surrender this time were two or three levels higher than him, he was stronger than people, and he couldn't help but bow his head to the Soviet Russian officers, and it was better to die in battle than to be killed. Of course, on the other hand, the reason is that Rokossovsky is a Russian, not a German or a person from another country, and if it is a person from another country, if the Soviet Russian army wants to surrender, it is estimated that there will be many more people who resist inside.

At the same time, it is not that Yegorov does not want to fight, but the comparison of forces on the battlefield is really unbearable for the Soviet army, more than five days have passed since the Omsk defense line was defeated, and the teams that can be withdrawn from the Omsk defense line are just a few, and the other teams have lost the opportunity to pass through the Guò Ishim River after the arrival of large reinforcements from Belarus. How could the mighty White Russian army, which was not even convenient to cross the river by itself, "let it" a bridge for the Soviet rout to retreat? So there was no point in waiting for Yegorov, and because of the fighting outside the city, the White Russian army blocked the way for the Soviet troops to return directly to the west. So, at the moment, Yegorov can only travel lightly, give up some supplies, and return by detour.

Abandoning supplies and the wounded, it seemed that the Soviet army had suffered greater losses, but at this time Yegorov was particularly calm, because he finally saw the strategic shape he had been waiting for for a long time, and the lightly armed and simple Soviet army provided him with a great opportunity: he could concentrate all his mule and horse troops and hit the enemy's defenseless gaps.

And can the White Russian army, which received the city, put down the "cake" of Ishim, and in the face of nearly 10,000 Soviet soldiers, which commander will not be moved?

After Yegorov looked at the order, the Soviet Russian military officers who were busy said to the adjutant, "Sue Sù Tyumen, we need air support, and order them to ensure that there are no White Russian fighters above our heads at any cost." At the same time, I asked all the bomber formations to be dispatched, to drop all the bombs, and to be sure to blow up the White Russian troops blocking our way back. After a pause, feeling unsafe, "another telegram was sent to inform the iron fellows on the railway, telling them that it was time for them to move by the end of the war, and I remember that there were two armored trains at the railway station in Tyumen, and I ordered them to take the lead and bring two trains to bring me the 1st Ural Infantry Regiment, which was fully organized. The commander of the infantry regiment was instructed to bring more medicines, ammunition, and dry rations to meet us along the main arteries of the Far East. Note that you must tell him that he is here to answer us, not to pull him to break off, and as for the break, I will naturally arrange other teams, understand? Be sure to pay attention to the word "answer". Finally, the Armenian infantry division, which had just been transferred a week earlier to reinforce the Ural Military District, was ordered to prepare for the attack, and ordered them to cross the Tula River, advance 100 versts, and establish positions to meet us, and the cavalry regiment of the division, which was to advance 400 versts, to meet us. Armenia was not the original sphere of influence of Soviet Russia, and Yegorov did not look down on the newly formed "miscellaneous cards" such as the Armenian infantry divisions, and generally did not hand over important tasks to these troops. But the "miscellaneous" is also the best "cannon fodder", and in the face of the swarming White Russian army, it is better to sacrifice an alien unit than to sacrifice the local army of the Urals.

Tyumen is located in Western Siberia and is an important commercial and transport center in Siberia, founded in 1580. Its name is derived from the Mongolian language, which means "city of ten thousand", and was named after the 10,000 troops stationed here during Genghis Khan's western expedition. Compared with Tyumen, which has a long history and a prominent geographical location, Ishim is just a small Siberian town, so it doesn't matter if Ishim loses it, but Tyumen must not lose it.

Compared with the newly formed Armenian infantry divisions, the Soviet troops in the Urals and Siberia were the "main force" of the Soviet army guarding Tyumen in Yegorov's heart.

The White Russians are chasing so closely, who knows if they will chase all the way to Tyumen. Throwing away a foreign "motley card" and being able to buy himself time to cross the Tula River, Yegorov did not hesitate at all, and "discarded" this 10,000-strong infantry division that was not far away.

Calculating, the belongings that could no longer be cleaned up for a while, Yegorov looked at Ishim with a little regret, and when he saw the White Russian reinforcements in the distance, he quickly left the city and went straight south.

Around them, more than 340 combat units above the company level in the White Russian Army have been identified, and in terms of the number of 10,000 people, the Soviet army is at a disadvantage of one to eight.

Yegorov defended the White Russians from the front of the river with his own line of troops brought from Moscow, and at the same time ordered the remaining Soviet infantry to begin a counteroffensive - pointing at the joint of the White Russians in the vicinity of the Ishim River crossing, and soon took advantage of the darkness to defeat four times the enemy of his own. In this way, the other Soviet Russian army, which had crossed the river long ago but had been trapped, was also freed from the difficult defensive battle, and the two remnants of the army worked together to defeat a hastily mobilized and weak reinforcement attack of the White Russian army, and then without the slightest hesitation turned west, ready to return to Tyumen.

In the face of Yegorov's escape, Rokossovsky only commanded his troops to accept the surrender of the Soviet troops in the city, and did not pursue them. Because Zhao Yun, who had not shown up in the previous battle, finally arrived at Ishim City.

Seeing the arrival of the main force of the White Russian army, the Soviet troops in the city also opened the city to greet them with great interest, and led the whole army and the people in the city to submit to the White Russian army.

This time, almost all the 100,000 troops brought by Zhao Yun were stationed outside the city, and Zhao Yun only went into the city for a turn, and then returned to the camp of the army.

This will Zhao Yun's mind is not in Ishim, the gains and losses of one city and one place After the Western Expeditionary Army wantonly conquered the city, Zhao Yun no longer cared.

The vast expanse of Siberia provided the camp with enough wood, ore, and food to allow Zhao Yun to assemble thousands more camps at any time.
