The anti-aircraft guns on the Russian side did not have many ways to deal with fast-flying aircraft, but they were a huge threat to airships that were slow and had huge targets.

Naturally, the officers of the airship transport brigade carefully examined this situation and proposed that they would never allow airships to directly participate in the battle, which coincided with Wang Maoru's thoughts. Wang Maoru uses airships for transportation because of the large load capacity of airships, and its engine is a diesel engine, which is more fuel-efficient and conducive to maintenance than the use of gasoline engines in aircraft, and the diesel engine is not picky about the quality of diesel.

The cost of an airship is half lower than that of a transport aircraft, and the transportation capacity is several times that of a transport aircraft, and it can also be transported for a long time. This makes it even more convenient and fast for the airship to be transported than the train - but the only difficult thing to do is the goal of Chapter 475 of the Three Thousand Ancient Miraculous Skills, the weather of the Tsaritsyn riders is too great, the wind, frost, rain, snow and fog make the airship unable to move, and the airship cannot take off in winter. Fortunately, Russia has been dry and rainless this year, and Wang Maoru's airship transportation has never stopped.

There are many advantages to using airships for transportation, especially the Soviet Russian guerrillas in the Russian rear, although they are not strong in frontal combat ability, but it is enough to give the Chinese people a headache by harassing and attacking the logistics of the "Chinese" team or sabotaging the railway.

The use of airships for transportation made it possible to bypass the harassment of the Soviet and Russian partisans, even if the supply of supplies, including personnel and ammunition, could be replenished. Therefore, when the tsar proposed to build a yì, Wang Maoru resolutely refused, and he would not let the airship transport troops to the Russians for reconnaissance use.

Subsequently, Wang Maoru presented the credentials of the Chinese government, which was a supplementary version of the Treaty of Harbin. Discuss how to return the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest in batches, the [Middle] ** team is not a fool, it really has to wait for you to unify Russia before accepting the territory, this mentioned that the advance payment must be given a little" This is also part of the supplementary treaty, discuss the first to express sincerity to the "Chinese" people to return part of the territory.

But Tsar Nicholas II was not a fool either, and said with a smile: "This contract will not be said for the time being." Volume 30000 Ancient Miracle 475 Goal, Tsaritsyn, let's see how the combat effectiveness of the ** team is. His meaning is very clear, if the [Middle] ** team is not effective in combat and encounters Soviet Russia. He certainly didn't sign this supplementary agreement -- he didn't want to give his territory to others, but the ** team didn't do their best at all, wouldn't this be a loss of watermelons and sesame seeds? He also saddled with infamy. At the same time, he heard that the Third Army, the intervention army of the Far East, was fighting a tacit battle with the Russians. In international affairs, everyone is very shrewd and not a fool, and Xu Shuzheng's tricks are seen by everyone.

Wang Maoru was even more angry with Xu Shuzheng because of this, he engaged in tricks to preserve his strength in the Far East, which really made him very passive in Ufa. Therefore, the only way for the [Central] team to return the territory of Tsarist Russia is to give the Red Army a hard blow and show the prestige of the [Chinese] people. Just a hunt for Russian partisans. It is far from enough, maybe in the Battle of Kazan, 10,000 deaths a day is a trivial matter, so that the tsar thinks that 3,000 dead and wounded are not a battle at all. But he didn't know. Just the annihilation of 3,000 Soviet Russian soldiers made the people of China think that Wang Maoru was the reincarnation of Sun Wu. Long Qing was nicknamed General Fei.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Wang Maoru's treaty was not signed by Nicholas II, and Nicholas II's proposal to allow Wang Maoru to meet and Kolchak was also rejected by him. Joke. What kind of person is Kolchak, that is the one who uses his soldiers to death, and his own soldiers will never listen to him.

Subsequently, the ** team took a temporary break, and the support resources in the rear were continuously transported under the dispatch of Jiang Fangzhen. In order to support the transportation, the Americans also specially gave free helium and diesel engines to China to help the Northeast Frontier Army produce airships. At the Air Force aircraft factory in Saltu, airships are produced like dumplings.

Piloting an airship is easy to learn, it's not complicated to operate, and there is basically nothing that can affect its stability except for being subject to the weather. In addition, since 1919, Russia and China have not had a single rain since spring, and the weather is basically sunny and dry, and the airship transportation is very convenient. During the whole war, the airship transport fleet of the Chinese participating armies increased from 36 before the war to 160 in the later period, becoming the most important supply and transportation equipment for the Chinese participating armies.

In the Tsarist Palace in Ufa, all the officers of the General Staff of the Tsarist Imperial Corps and the main leaders of the empire were fiercely arguing about the operational deployment of the "Chinese" interventionist army.

As soon as the meeting began, the commander of the Czech Legion, Gaida, jumped up and shouted loudly, proposing that he should command the "Chinese" intervention army and form an international intervention army group. Of course, even Nicholas II, who has not interjected all this kind of nonsense, can't stand it, your Czech Legion has only 40,000 men left after a year of fighting, but vainly trying to command the 170,000-strong "Middle" ** team, it is simply an international joke, Gaida saw that everyone looked at him with a ridiculous look, so he had to sit down stupidly.

Kolchak's deputy, Han Ren, demanded that the "Chinese" intervention army be replenished into the First Army, and that it be placed directly on the Kazan front line to confront the Soviet Russian Red Army. However, Berevelje rejected Han Ren's construction on the grounds that the army of the Chinese people could not only be used as a fighting force, but also carried political forces.

Arguments went on and on, and the arrival of a telegram put an end to the arguments, and it turned out that Denikin's troops, with the support of the British and French intervention forces, attacked in a major way, and achieved remarkable results, once approaching the Soviet capital Moscow. However, due to the inability of the Kolchak Front to support, the two corps could not write the battle, and the Russians attacked Denikin with their forces. Denikin's army retreated to Ukraine, and Denikin himself received accusations from all the officers of the Tsarist Army South, but because the Tsar did not give orders, Denikin still held the post of commander of the Tsarist Army South.

And Wrangel, the deputy commander of the Southern Army of Tsarist Russia, sent an impeachment telegram to everyone to realize that the Southern Army had fallen into such a bad situation.

Han Yi slapped the table and said: "No, if Denikin is defeated, then the pressure we are facing is very huge, the current rebels are fighting on multiple fronts, but they can remain undefeated, if they hit us with all their forces, I think the First Army is very disadvantageous, of course, the final victory must be ours, long live the great Russian Empire." ”

"Long live the great Russian Empire!" Others responded.

"We want to rescue Denikin and open the Tsaritsyn passage." Nicholas II made up his mind and said, and the others pricked up their ears and opened Tsaritsyn? Last year, an attempt was made to get through Tsaritsyn, but failed miserably, so that Army Group South and the Tsarist Army lost the last trace of contact.

It was no less difficult to open this route than it was to get into a meat grinding war with the Russian Red Army on the Kazan front. Tsaritsyn, later renamed Volgograd, is the most important city in southern Russia, but also the headquarters of the Russian Southern Army, where the Soviet Army of the South and the Army of the South East are stationed, it is the most important industrial city in the south of Russia and the largest city, with a population of 450,000.

In order to seize Tsaritsyn, in August last year (1918), the Russian officer Krasnov led 45,000 cavalry, 150 cannons and 610 machine guns to attack Tsaritsyn for the first time. The Russians built three lines of defense in Tsaritsyn, with Stalin as chairman of the Military Council and Minin as propaganda commissar to mobilize urban workers and peasant soldiers to defend the Soviet government, while the army relied on armored train artillery for defense under the command of Voroshilov. The two sides fought a large-scale battle here, known as the Battle of Tsaritsyn. As a result of the Battle of Tsaritsyn, the Russian Krasnov Corps was finally wiped out, while the Russians fought more and more, and formed the 8th, 9th, and 10th armies, and at the same time blocked the communication arteries between the Russian and foreign intervention forces.

Tsaritsyn is no less important to Russia than the second capital, and if you are not familiar with the name Tsaritsyn, then there is a name and a famous battle of World War II that everyone will know, and that is Stalingrad and the Battle of Stalingrad.

Yes, Tsaritsyn changed its name to Stalingrad in 1924 in honor of Stalin's contribution to the Battle of Tsaritsyn. And after Stalin's death, Khrushchev came to power and renamed Stalingrad to Volgograd.

Tsaritsyn is the southern center of Russia, and the Russians made the Volga River their mother and, Tsaritsyn is the most important industrial city on the Volga River. As a southern city, its average temperature is 26 degrees in summer and minus 9 degrees in winter, the city is located on the banks of the Volga River, moistened by the Volga River, with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and abundant products, it has always been called the "southern granary" of Russia.

In addition to the granary of the south, Tsaritsyn is also the industrial center of southern Russia, with a series of industrial projects such as machine building, metal processing, wood processing, oil processing, food processing, and one of the largest arsenals in Russia, where half of Russia's Nakhimokan is produced.

If Tsaritsyn can be obtained, it will be of no less strategic significance than Denikin's attack on Moscow.

"We have no other army to trust, and now there are only Chinese people." Nicholas II looked at everyone and said, everyone lowered their heads, in fact, everyone knows the importance of Tsaritsyn, but it is the key defense place of Soviet Russia, it is a cake made of steel, and whoever bites it will knock out his teeth. Nicholas II sighed, shook his head, and said to himself: "O great Russian Empire, has God abandoned you and is going to let the yellow race come to save the empire?" The crowd was even more ashamed ......) !!
