After seeing the background of the city of Novosibirsk, Rokossovsky found that he had been a little too proud of this military fortress because of the name of the Siberian Military District, and to be honest, there were really not many strong fortifications to speak of, and the two famous buildings in the city, the St. Alexander Nevsky Church was built in 1896-1899, which is one of the earliest stone buildings in the city, and it is also an outstanding representative of Russian architecture at the end of the 19th century. The St. Nikolaev Church was built in 1915 in the city center to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Romanov dynasty.

And relying on these buildings, if you really want to fight, I'm afraid that a round of cannons will break up the city. Perhaps it is precisely because it has not experienced war for a long time that Moscow's war resources are tilted towards the Far East, and the more eastward it goes, the more complete the city's fortifications become. But precisely because the city is a gateway city, there are many exchanges between the East and the West, and there are many factories in the territory, which are also very complete, and only from the military description, from the steel plate rolling to the steel frame of the artillery can be produced. This production capacity is much stronger than that of the developing Mongolian Chechen Khanate.

Lieutenant Colonel Goryvsky knew that half of the 2,000 people in his team were old, weak, sick and disabled who could not fight a tough battle, so he immediately took Rokossovsky to the warehouse to check the goods at the bottom of the box, which turned out to be more than 200,000 shells from the two warehouses, including high-explosive shells and grenade bombs.

Seeing that he had harvested sixty field guns and more than 200,000 corresponding shells, Rokossovsky nodded with satisfaction.

Of course, there's more to the loot than that. Soviet Russia had prepared a large amount of supplies for the reinforcement of Krasnoyarsk, but because the Western Expeditionary Army came too quickly, a large number of supplies were not transported into the city when the city was besieged. These supplies were stored in Novosibirsk, the city closest to Krasnoyarsk and with the largest number of defenders. These supplies range from water bottles, blankets, shoes and socks to rifles and bullets. The number is enough to equip 100,000 infantry, but unfortunately this is Lao Maozi's civil war, so these weapons dare not be issued to the people in the city, so they can only be thrown in the warehouse. If the Germans had come this time, then even if Rokossovsky had led an army of 500,000 troops, he would have to knock his front teeth to "gnaw" this fortified city.

Rokossovsky prepared in Novosibirsk for two days, and Zhao Yun arrived with a large army.

At noon, in the main camp of the White Russian army, in the main general's Rokossovsky command post, Zhao Yungao sat on the main seat, and a large group of White Russian army generals were crowded in the dark, listening to Rokossovsky's account of the experience of conquering Novosibirsk in amazement.

When Rokossovsky finished speaking, the entire command post was silent, only the envy of the generals one after another.

Shao Lao Er looked at Rokossovsky with a happy face, he really couldn't help it, relying on Zhao Yun's irreplaceable position in the army, licked his lips and hesitantly said what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say, "General Rokossovsky, what we fought in Krasnoyarsk was a river of blood, and the corpses were lying in wait for miles, and even one entered the city was extremely difficult, with heavy casualties, this is the capital of the West Siberian Military District!" How can it be so simple? Will there be fraud? ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army nodded one after another, and looked at Rokossovsky with puzzled eyes.

"How so!" In the face of such an inquiry, Rokossovsky shook his head with tears and laughter, spread his hands and said, "Actually, I was so worried at first, but after entering the city, I have sent people to occupy the high ground everywhere, and sent scouts to all directions, and even the wells and roads in the city have been surveyed, but nothing has been found - this city of Novosibirsk is completely controlled by me!" ”

"Really?" The people in the command post looked at Rokossovsky, and then at Zhao Yun, Timur and others who were seated, they still had a little dazed in their eyes, and there was no doubt that the city had indeed been controlled by Rokossovsky, but this siege was too simple, "It would be nice if it was like this every time!" Many generals had extravagant hopes in their hearts.

"The name of the person, the shadow of the tree", seeing that everyone was sighing, Rokossovsky cast a pleading gaze to himself again, Zhao Yun opened his mouth and quipped, "It is estimated that it is the prestige of General Rokossovsky's capture of Krasnoyarsk within three days!" Don't be envious, there will be many opportunities for everyone here to be so famous in the future! Hahaha! ”

But the generals in the house looked at each other after hearing this, and none of them gave Zhao Yun a smile, "cough cough" Seeing that no one cheered him on, Zhao Yun coughed dryly, "Everyone, there is no need to mention the past, we still have a lot of urgent things to do now!" After all, two days ago, Rokossovsky took the city of Western Siberia at an unexpected speed to buy precious time for the Western Expeditionary Army to rest and recuperate, and today, Zhao Yun brought back nearly 200,000 young men from Krasnoyarsk, plus the White Russian army that did not come with Rokossovsky that day, inside and outside the city of Western Siberia, at this moment it is already crowded with no less than 650,000 troops, and what is even worse is that these people have not eaten yet in order to receive Zhao Yun into the city.

Zhao Yun hurriedly arranged the various units of the Western Expeditionary Army, and Zhao Yun sent 10,000 scouts to various places to detect the movements of the Soviet Russian army, and on the other hand, began the reorganization of the Western Expeditionary Army.

In the siege and defense of Krasnoyarsk City, although the White Russian Army won the victory, it was also a tragic victory, and the 130,000 siege troops only played a role in containing the city.

At present, Zhao Yun still controlled Rokossovsky's Western Expeditionary Army at 500,000 people, but the old and weak women and children among them were replaced by the young men of Western Siberia and Krasnoyarsk. And bringing the young men of Krasnoyarsk City here, this is also Zhao Yun's practice of learning from the Mongols, taking these people as hostages, to avoid the rebellion of Krasnoyarsk City, after all, Zhao Yun finally took this city, if they rebel, it will be a huge blow to the morale and strength of the White Russian army.

As for the weapons of the Western Expeditionary Army, Zhao Yun ordered a batch of camps to be dragged out of the assembly line, and a batch of "wooden-shelled iron core guns" and small-caliber infantry guns that were not much more powerful than grenades were distributed to the hundred-man team, and at the same time ensured that Rokossovsky had a 1,300 Canadian and howitzer troops, including five giant guns, to suppress the threat posed by the Soviet Russian European army.

The First World War broke out in 1914, and a world war would inevitably lead to a worldwide military revolution. The original flat war mode of land and sea has been completely broken. The advent of aviation units and ocean-going submarines gave the war a three-dimensional color. Due to the emergence of new designs and new ammunition, the firing range of various types of field artillery and mountain artillery has exceeded the 10,000-meter mark.

At this time, Zhao Yun collected all the artillery that could be collected in Siberia and the Far East, although the quantity reached a terrifying number, but in terms of quality, Zhao Yun still did not have the slightest confidence. Among these 1,300 guns, there are 38-type 10-centimeter field guns that were eliminated from the field heavy artillery equipment by Japan due to poor movement after the Russo-Japanese War, and there are also 38-type 12 centimeters and 15 centimeters of grenades that are not powerful enough in Japanese, and even the Lucia three-inch field guns during the Russo-Japanese War have a large number of stocks, and the latter only has two destinations in Japan: one is to be assigned to the Army Technical Examination Department, engineering schools, and artillery units as research objects. The second is to be presented as a souvenir to shrines and museums in various places.

These four types of artillery are the most numerous types of artillery except for the artillery provided by Zhao Yun's camp. Therefore, if he encounters the real elite of Soviet Russia, Zhao Yun's own confidence is still the team composed of 500,000 young and strong and local troops, not these expired "kings of war".

Fortunately, these four kinds of artillery, Rokossovsky's subordinates can be skillfully operated, the first three are Japanese equipment copied by the products of the Krupp company, and the Russian army is also more familiar with it, the latter is the main artillery of the Russian army.

If the Western Expeditionary Army was still a peasant army before, now it can at least be said to have reached the standard level of the Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War.

These various reorganization matters are not complicated for Zhao Yun, who was born as a clerk, and they can be completed step by step as long as they find the right person and sort out a clue. But Zhao Yun's headache at the moment is his enemy, the movements of the Soviet Russian army.

Due to the rapid advance of the Western Expeditionary Army, not only Zhao Yun was in a hurry here, taking over the city and collecting the rout, but the decree of the Soviet Russian side was also changing three times a day, and the original idea of keeping the White Russian Western Expeditionary Army out of the West Siberian Gate was bankrupt, and the Soviet Russian reinforcements drawn from all over the country were on the march, and even the high-level Soviet Russian leaders did not know where they went. As for whether they received the news of the fall of the city of Western Siberia, the Soviet Russian top brass did not know, so the Western Expeditionary Army and the Soviet Russian reinforcements seemed to be like a "fork in the road", groping in the dark, and when they met one day, it would be a big war.

In the middle of the night, in the garrison headquarters of the former Siberian Military Region in Novosibirsk, Zhao Yun led a group of generals under his command to look at the sand table in Western Siberia and speculate.

"I always feel a little un......confident," Timur said with a frown, "although in fact, the closest Soviet Russian military region to our department at this moment is the Ural Military District, the main force of the military region, the 3rd Army, has long been reorganized into the 1st Revolutionary Labor Army, and in 1922 it was sent to the Far East to support the Far Eastern Army in the war against Japan." At that time, its districts and troops were transferred to the command of the Western Siberian and Volga Military Districts, among which the West Siberian Military District, that is, the team led by Shaolin and others, had been wiped out by us, and Novosibirsk had also surrendered. The nearest one left, that is, the Volga Military District, can send reinforcements as quickly as possible. ”

"Hmm!" Rokossovsky nodded in agreement, touched the beard on his chin and took over the topic, "The Volga Military District is an old military district formed by Soviet Russia on May 4, 1918, and was formed at the time of the "Kazan-Ural-Samara Front". But again, like the 3rd Army, in the first half of 1920 they began to convert part of their army into the Labor Army. For example, the 4th Army of the Turkestan Front, which was reorganized into the 2nd Army of Revolutionary Labor, had its headquarters in Saratov. After the end of the civil war, part of the troops of the Volga Military District took part in the suppression of banditry in the provinces of Asjerahan, Tsaritsyn, Saratov, Samara and other parts of the country, as well as in the suppression of the Kronstadt rebellion in 1921 and the Basmachi bandits in Central Asia. It can be said that it is a main force active in the front line of suppressing bandits. Moreover, the biggest difference between them and the Far Eastern Army is that all their divisions have begun to gradually change to a unified organizational structure, instead of being like the Far Eastern Army, where more than 10,000 people are also at the division level, and 2,000 or 3,000 people are also at the division level. In addition, it differs from other European military districts in that they also form national armies like the Mongolian cavalry regiments of the Far Eastern Army, the Garmyk and Bashkir cavalry regiments. Therefore, they are a military region that combines the advantages of the East and the West. ”
