After conquering Novosibirsk in Soviet Russia, Zhao Yun had no direction for a while. At first, scouts were sent to a distance of about fifty miles, but they did not encounter any Soviet troops at all. So Zhao Yun replaced the cavalry of the White Russian Army with the cavalry of the camp, and gradually increased the scope of reconnaissance and cavalry, 100 li, 150 li, and in the end, it was more than 300 li, but he still did not encounter any large Soviet army.

Novosibirsk is the capital of the Siberian Military District, and after the capture of this place, the Soviet troops in the area were already in chaos, some advocated attacking Novosibirsk, some advocated continuing guerrilla operations, and some advocated withdrawing to the Urals, because there was also a Volga Military District. Anyway, the places west of Novosibirsk that the White Russian army did not reach were all messy, and bandits and homeless people from all walks of life were running in groups, so that the reconnaissance cavalry sent by the White Russian army also encountered several dangers, so now the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Zhao Yun is a team of more than 400 people.

In fact, this situation is not surprising, the Soviet army was originally concentrated and rushed to destroy the Western Expeditionary Army. Moscow gave them orders to be lightly armed, to be responsible for supplies along the way, to receive a large number of arms there when they reached Novosibirsk, to arm them and then to support Krasnoyarsk, responsible for containing the western expeditionary forces from the rear. The idea is great, but the implementation is difficult. Not to mention that Krasnoyarsk was taken by the Western Expeditionary Army within three days, which changed their original plan, and the reinforcement of Krasnoyarsk turned into holding on to the city of Novosibirsk. The surrender of the city of Novosibirsk without a fight made the on-the-spot supply of this reinforcement army come to naught. I could only stop where I was, and wait for the weapons and ammunition in the rear to be fully replenished before I went on the road again, but as soon as I got on the road, I received the "Siege of Wei to save Zhao" from the White Russian "local tyrants" behind me, and I had to turn back to clean up these itchy guys. So after wandering around for nearly a month, the Soviet Russian army sent troops to Siberia was actually still spinning in the same place. However, the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army did not dare to attack the main attack, the Soviet Russian army came and went, and the White Russian "local tyrants" were so powerful that the Russians in the entire Urals and Western Siberia were not calm.

In addition, because the "local tyrants" of Belarus wanted to fight as "cannon fodder", they wantonly looted the population, and the entire region was in chaos.

Once the situation is chaotic, rumors will fly everywhere, and without accurate information, the Western Expeditionary Army can only slowly make defensive preparations according to the information detected by refugees, bandits, and themselves.

However, just now, Zhao Yun heard that his scout cavalry encountered the White Russian "local tyrant" rout, since there is a White Russian rout, it must mean that they were defeated by the Soviet army, but the combat power of Soviet Russia is too inhuman, so Zhao Yun and Rokossovsky were taken aback.

For most of the next day, Zhao Yun and a group of generals were anxiously waiting for urgent reports from the front line in the city of Novosibirsk. Sure enough, the scout cavalry received a considerable number of White Russian routs, and after placing them, he began a series of interrogations, and waited until Zhao Yun hurriedly roared to report the results of the White Russian routs, and only then did he get a piece of news that surprised him extremely much.

"Gas bombs!" Zhao Yun and Rokossovsky's faces were rather ugly.

The history of the large-scale use of poison gas weapons was in 1914 in the First World War. France was the first to use howitzers to fire gas shells.

On January 31, 1915, Germany used tear gas bombs on a large scale for the first time (thousands of gas bombs were fired at Russian positions), but due to the local weather, the expected effects were not expected.

In 1915, a mixture of phosgene and chlorine chemical weapons was used by the British army in actual combat.

In 1917 mustard gas was introduced into the conflict between the Allies and the Allies.......

For Zhao Yun, although 6 years have passed since 1917, the "pig's nose" mask for defense has not yet been popularized, or the effect is not very good. If the soldiers in the camp encounter it, if it is the Western Expeditionary Army, it is estimated that their fate will not be much better than that of these 7 White Russian troops, but there is no way to restrain them, otherwise in a European war, it will be better than who has more gas bombs to be able to divide the victory and defeat. After knowing that the "magic weapon" of the Soviet Union to eliminate the 7 barons was the poison gas bomb, Zhao Yun, who has aircraft, artillery, and long-range attack capabilities, is not too worried, at most he will lose a group of personnel, and then the artillery and aircraft of the Western Expeditionary Army will give them a place to return.

At this moment, the signal corps came to report that the seven White Russian "local tyrants" had come to meet Rokossovsky, the chief general of the Western Expeditionary Army. Zhao Yun signaled to Rokossovsky, then turned to the rear and did not participate in these miscellaneous matters.

The battle was fought against this element, and at this time, the seven White Russian "local tyrants" thought that they were quite important. Indeed, with more than 20,000 people, the White Russian "local tyrant" army, which can make up more than 5,000 young and strong, is not a very small force, and because they are all natives in the Ural Mountains, they have a great advantage in local warfare. But Zhao Yun is interested in the landmark of Urals. The Ural Mountains are the boundary between Europe and Asia, between the Eastern European Plain and the Siberian Plain, and crossing this landmark represents the return of the White Russian power to Europe. This is a sign that the significance is greater than the actual benefits, and it also represents the fact that the White Russian army can regain the strength of the Tsarist Empire. For Zhao Yun, it is best for them to take refuge in the 7 White Russian "local tyrants", otherwise, the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army will not hesitate to exterminate and annex them, and forcibly occupy this territory.

Besides, in fact, Zhao Yun has always had the "monk" as a "sharp weapon", and the Western Expeditionary Army has very loose requirements for his own objects.

If it used to be all White Russians, it would be fine, but as long as it was surrendered and captured by Soviet Russia, the Western Expeditionary Army would definitely be reused, and it would also break up and reorganize the ranks of Soviet Russia, and even use them as teaching regiments, and the generals of the Soviet Russian Army would also be regularly rotated to various units as instructors to eliminate the twilight of the White Russian Army and inject new blood into the White Russian Army.

Therefore, Zhao Yun does not attach importance to these 7 White Russian "local tyrants" who are not strong in combat.

Sure enough, Zhao Yun didn't wait for a long time, just waited for a cup of tea, and Rokossovsky came to report that these 7 White Russian barons decided to join the Western Expeditionary Army and support the Ulan-Ude "Duma". After listening to Rokossovsky's report, Zhao Yun was not surprised, although the number of more than 20,000 White Russian troops was still worth seeing, but their territory and baggage were all lost, they couldn't even get together 7,000 rifles in their hands, the ammunition was insufficient, and there were no tents, grain and grass, so it can be said that if they didn't join Rokossovsky's Western Expeditionary Army, then they would have to spend the night in the ice and snow. Seeing Zhao Yun's face, it was ugly. Rokossovsky asked: "My lord! You see if we should take them in......! ”

"Accept, why not." Zhao Yun did not have any rejection of this White Russian army, "Arm them, and then mix your people, let them re-enter their former territory, and use guerrilla tactics to drag the Volga Military District." ”

Since they are the "Belt and Road Party", it would be too wasteful to use them as ordinary White Russian troops.

"Yes, sir." Rokossovsky was full of confidence in Zhao Yun's camp soldiers, these gas bombs may be a big killer for ordinary people, but for the feared war planes and camp soldiers, there is no difference between having and not having them.

"My lord, there is another problem at the moment, due to the rapid expansion of our army some time ago, the military uniforms of the guide zhì are not uniform at all. However, the military uniforms are not unified, and not only the names and identities of the sacrificed personnel cannot be recorded, but even the military merit registration of the soldiers and soldiers has also been problematic. Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was possible to unify the military uniforms first, and then record the identity information of the soldiers on the inside of the collar of the clothes, so as to avoid the current situation. When the conditions are abundant in the future, they can also follow the example of European countries to use better methods to record soldiers' information, such as making identity plates with special materials. ”

"There is no problem with these, I will let the camp directly supply us with clothes for the militia, and in the future, this will be our unified uniform, as for the military rank, it will still be copied from the Tsarist Empire."

"Yes!"

"Where are the Soviets now?"

"They're packing up the battlefield and seem to be planning to go back to their station."

Zhao Yun listened to Rokossovsky's answer, frowned, looked at the sand table of the nearby terrain in the command post, and began to think deeply.

According to the information obtained so far, the Soviet army completely wiped out the seven White Russian barons' armies entrenched in the Tyumen area, and almost wiped them out, obtained very critical baggage and population, and completely purged the White Russian forces within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Now that the obstacles have been cleared, it's time for the two sides to face off. First of all, the number of Soviet and Russian troops is the most worthy of Zhao Yun's attention. Tong Guò's interrogation of those defeated soldiers yielded the figure that the Soviet army used less than 10,000 troops in the two major wars, which made Zhao Yun feel a little relieved, and it was not easy for the Soviet and Russian troops to supply heavily at present, and the military long-range investment ability was greatly reduced. Even if the grain, grass and baggage of the White Russian army are captured, the strength of the Soviet army will be doubled, and at most it will be able to send 20,000 or 30,000 horses to knock on the pass!

You must know that in the past, when the Soviet Russian army had railway transportation and delivery capacity, these 30,000 troops were enough for Rokossovsky to deal with with it with all his might, if it was before the 7 "local tyrants" made trouble, there were really more than 50,000 regular Soviet Russian troops who came to attack, then Zhao Yun would insist on letting Rokossovsky resist, if there were more than 100,000 troops Zhao Yun did not need to hesitate, take a group of trainable generals and teams, ride on horses, turn around and run!

But at this moment, the area of hundreds of miles has become a chaotic area, and the projection capacity of Soviet Russia is immediately greatly reduced, so Zhao Yun only needs someone to contain him, so that the logistics support of Soviet Russia is not smooth, so he does not have to worry that a large number of troops will be killed in a short period of time. As long as Soviet Russia does not drive Rokossovsky away in a short period of time, and it will take until March, which will be a year of failure, then Zhao Yun will have enough time to carry out another "hamster operation", which will make the logistics of the Soviet army, which is already difficult to deploy, even worse.

"Rokossovsky, I'll leave this place to you!" Zhao Yun told Rokossovsky earnestly that as soon as the crisis here was resolved, Zhao Yun was in a hurry to rush to Jixian and other places. It was November when he came to the Far East, but it was only January when he arrived in Western Siberia, although the time was very short, but Zhao Yun had to go back to deal with some things that the generals under his command could not deal with alone.

Walking back, Zhao Yun still has to leave enough strength for Rokossovsky. In order to stabilize the situation, 400,000 soldiers in the camp that had been used as a war guard and law enforcement team were left behind in various cities along the main artery of the Far East. 400,000 seems like a lot, but it has disappeared without a trace by dozens of large and small cities. The army of 500,000 people, after several replenishments, the proportion of women in the army has dropped to 10%, and the proportion of young and strong men has also reached 70%, although it is still a little weak, but Zhao Yun still resolutely transferred 150,000 from 500,000 people to Ulan-Ude, because of the accumulation of a winter, the Japanese army in the Far East began to move again. In the face of a military group with 100,000 Japanese troops, 100,000 Korean auxiliaries and 110,000 White Russian servants, the more than 60,000 people left in the Far East by Soviet Russia alone could not be stopped, and the White Russian army behind them was only 80,000 people.

As soon as the plan was formulated, Zhao Yun ordered a White Russian expeditionary army to the west and hurriedly began its journey to the east, and Timur and other heroes of the camp remained in Siberia. And he took a plane and rushed to Jiangnan, which was already January 29, 1923.
