268 See the move? Or is it a dense shadow?
The economic situation in Soviet Russia also made it impossible for Soviet Russia to provide sufficient military supplies for the army. The Soviet Russian army, which was short of oil and water, of course, hit the head of these occupied territories of Ukraine. These "episodes" made it difficult for Trotsky to move forward in Ukraine, but his opponents, the rebels, with the covert support of Britain, France and other countries, launched an attack on Kiev from the west of Kiev by the Polish and Czech intervention forces, successively capturing Fastov and other outlying towns in Kiev, and linking the two control districts in the north and south. In March, rebels and intervention forces captured Chernobyl in the north, cutting off northern Kiev from Soviet Russia.
On March 28, 1923, the rebels occupied the Fastov region southwest of Kiev and then advanced into Kiev from the west, southwest and south by four routes.
The Great War between Soviet Russia and the European Intervention Army began. Under the continuous resistance of the Russian army, on April 6, 1923, the rebels entered the suburbs of Kiev.
The government of the Republic of Ukraine decided to move to Sumy, with the support of Soviet Russia, to take advantage of convenient railway transportation and resources in Soviet Russia to re-establish the regular army of the Republic of Ukraine with a strength of 300,000 troops.
Trotsky, who was regarded as the god of war by Soviet Russia, was firmly anchored in Kiev and, with the cooperation of the Kiev people, launched a battle to defend Kiev.
It turned out that Trotsky's strategy was very correct, and Kiev could not be lost, but if Kiev was surrounded, then the whole of Ukraine would not be able to receive the orders issued by Kiev smoothly, so Trotsky moved the administrative center out of the city, while he personally led his troops to defend Kyiv.
Russian and Ukrainian Republican armies, as well as local militias, built three lines of defense west of Kyiv and fought valiantly against the enemy. Two brigades of the newly formed Republican Army and the International Column of Soviet Russia rushed to the front to strengthen the defenses. Of course, this is what the Soviet side said, in fact, everyone understands that they have gone deep behind enemy lines, surrounded by European intervention forces, and they are already nine deaths. But Trotsky's move, which went straight to the ground, beat the Ukrainian rebel Mora and other generals to the head.
But the combat power of the Ukrainian rebels is not strong, but the masters behind them are Britain and France, who are known as the world's first. On the same day, 20,000 rebels, supported by tanks and aircraft from the British and French intervention forces, launched a fierce attack from the southwest, and their left flank carried out a major assault through the national parks of Ukraine, forced the Kiev reservoir, and occupied three-quarters of the university town within a week. The strength of the Ukrainian Republican Army has been increased to 7 brigades (including 1 tank group) to give the enemy a head-on attack. On the 25th, the rebels stopped attacking. In order to narrow the encirclement, the rebels dispatched 17,000 men to carry out artillery bombardment in the southwest and northwest of Kiev on May 13, 1923, and cut off the road from Kiev to the outside world after half a month of fierce fighting.
At the same time, on May 16, 1923, the outnumbered rebels, with the support of the Polish intervention forces, launched an offensive at the Kajev reservoir southeast of Kiev, in an attempt to cut off the road from Kiev to the south and complete the encirclement of Kiev. On the 18th~27th, the Republican Army launched a counterattack to crush the rebels' attempt to encircle the capital from the southeast. On 18 May, the Polish intervention forces launched a surprise attack on Nezhin from the northeast in an attempt to cooperate with the rebels in capturing Kiev. The Republican Army adjusted its deployment and invested three divisions in a stubborn defense, and finally crushed the Polish intervention army's offensive on the 28th.
In the meantime, the rebels launched the Battle of the Kapif Reservoir in the southeast of Kyiv on May 6~27, in an attempt to cut off the communication line from Kiev to the southeast; The Republican Army fought back valiantly and crushed the rebels' attempts.
If it is placed in Zhao Yun's place, except for Wu Peifu, there is no general under Zhao Yun who can lead the overall situation, and generals like Rokossovsky can only be responsible for one side, and it is already possible to lead an army alone, but to really command hundreds of thousands of troops and fight with opponents with the same number, then their command art is still too far behind.
It is clear that the rebel generals such as Mora were originally just middle-level officers, and they did not have such command skills and experience at all. Trotsky realized that he was facing an opponent from England and France, who had fought in the First World War and commanded large armies.
In order to contain the strength of the Republican Army, the rebels launched an offensive on the front line of the Kremenchuk Reservoir in the south, captured the important southern town of Dnipropetrovsk and turned to the defensive.
After the defeat of Kiev, the rebels shifted their offensive focus to the south from June 1923 in an attempt to capture the area between the Sea of Azov and Dnepropetrovsk, linking the occupied territories.
To this end, the rebel side concentrated 150,000 troops (including 100,000 Polish intervention troops) to launch an offensive on Zaporozhye. Zaporizhzhia is located in the black soil region of southern Ukraine, 450 kilometers away from the capital Kyiv, and is one of the regions with a relatively strong industrial and agricultural foundation in Ukraine. The population ranks ninth in Ukraine, the total industrial volume ranks first, and the per capita manufacturing added value ranks second, only after Kiev, and the terrain is mostly flat.
Here, the rebels met with resolute resistance from 60,000 republican troops. On June 20, the rebels captured Zaporizhzhia by virtue of their superiority in numbers, and then attacked in the direction of Soviet Russia in the northeast. In order to alleviate the pressure on the northern front, Trotsky decided to launch two offensive campaigns in early July in Poltava, southeast of Kiev, and west of Kiev, with the intention of easing the aggressive posture of the rebels and making room for the next redeployment.
And the start of these two offensive battles also showed the outside world that the Soviet Russian army in Kiev had no time to interfere in Denikinburg's plans in Yekaterinburg.
On July 7, the "Luda Land Lease Renewal Contract" signed by the Qing Dynasty also expired for two months, and the two-month grace period given to Japan by Jixian County finally expired.
So Zhao Yun has no time, Tong Guò lurks beside Denikin's "own people", Zhao Yun already knows that the female archduke in Yekaterinburg is just a "puppet" pushed out by Denikin, although this is a banner, but how much role Zhao Yun does not know, and does not want to know.
Denikin's hand is very sophisticated, first obtaining a certain position in the high-level of Ulan-Ude, and then "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", he can basically control the forces of White Russia. But he didn't know that there was also a Huaxia Zhao Yun behind White Russia, and for Zhao Yun, it didn't matter whether there was a female grand duke in Russia or not. Zhao Yun's earlier plan was to swallow the whole of Siberia, and for the Russian land in Europe, it was mostly an element of robbery, and there was no plan to support the restoration of Tsarist Russia.
"Where did Egorov go?" Rokossovsky asked, compared with Denikin's small actions, Zhao Yun felt an urgent need for military talents, especially those who commanded the overall situation. But before there is no corresponding talent, it is not bad to have one or two more military talents who can stand alone.
And Yegorov's appearance on the battlefield is also remarkable, the lone army is deep and in danger, and the rhythm of Zhao Yun's plan is completely disrupted, and almost all the tens of thousands of troops leading the vanguard are led by Yegorov. greatly affected the progress of the Western Expedition, although Zhao Yun still achieved the goals set before the Western Expedition, but the large casualties and losses on the way to the Western Expedition were almost all brought by this Yegorov.
"According to the report, except for a small group of twenty or thirty cavalry of Yegorov's department who fled westward, the rest of the more than 1,000 cavalry have joined his rescue force." The staff officer reported to Rokossovsky.
"Let those small groups of cavalry leave, and tell Timur and General Shubutai to gather all their troops, go after the adults, and concentrate on the task of attacking the Yegorov ironclad train. Do they really think that with more than a thousand reinforcements and the support of ironclad trains, they can break through? Rokossovsky said disdainfully, although the ironclad train is strong, but Rokossovsky, who has received support, has five or six ways to pry open the turtle shell.
And Zhao Yun, who was about to capture Yegorov alive, had already rushed back to China by plane. Rokossovsky also just got the news that something happened in Huaxia, Zhao Yun was speechless for a long time after hearing the news, and now he has hurried over. So the task of containment here is handed over to me. As for what happened in Huaxia, Rokossovsky also heard about it, after all, when Zhao Yun was leaving, he also transferred several teams from Huaxia to reinforce the Western Expeditionary Army.
Kyrgyzstan was absorbed by Soviet Russia in 1917 and became the sphere of influence of Soviet Russia, but in Afghanistan, the Bukhara Khanate, and the Khiva Khanate successively fell to White Russia, Kyrgyzstan has become an enclave under the control of Soviet Russia like the Far East.
Kyrgyz means "nomad in the steppe". The Kyrgyz people are called the Kyrgyz people in China, and their traditions, language, and religion are similar to those of the Chinese Kyrgyz people, and they all belong to the same ethnic group. Located in the heart of the Eurasian continent, Kyrgyzstan is not only a key point connecting the Eurasian continent and the Middle East, but also a necessary place for major powers to enter and exit from the east and west, and to the south and north. This place was also separated from China before, and from the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, most of Kyrgyzstan was incorporated into the Chinese territory for the first time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also ordered Li Guangli to conquer Dawan (in the present-day Ferghana Basin of Central Asia) in 104 BC (the first year of Taichu) and three years later, so that many city-states in the Western Regions submitted to the Han Dynasty one after another. After defeating Dawan in 102 BC (the third year of Taichu), the Western Han Dynasty court placed envoys and school captains in Luntai (now Luntaidong, Xinjiang) and Quli (now southwest of Korla, Xinjiang), which was the beginning of the Western Han government's establishment of administrative institutions in the Western Regions. Later, he set up the commander of Yixun and the envoy to the west of Shanshan.
In the early and middle Tang Dynasty, China's territory in Central Asia stretched to the Aral Sea in Central Asia. The Anzai Metropolitan Protectorate was established under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the Prefecture was established under the Metropolitan Governor's Office. The jurisdiction of the Anzai Prefecture includes eastern Kazakhstan, most of Tajikistan, all of Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Iran and other countries.
During the Qing Dynasty, most of the eastern and southern regions belonged to Western Xinjiang, and the western part belonged to the Qing Dynasty's vassal state Kokand Khanate. On October 7, 1864, Russia forced the Qing government to sign the "Sino-Russian Survey and Partition of the Northwest Frontier" to forcibly cede 440,000 square kilometers of territory in the western part of Western Xinjiang, including the original Chinese territory, most of the land in Kyrgyzstan, which was forcibly occupied by Tsarist Russia in 1876; In 1876, the Qing Dynasty's vassal state of Kokand Khanate was annexed by Tsarist Russia, and so far, the original territory of China and all the land of Kyrgyzstan were annexed by Tsarist Russia.
In the past two months, when China and Japan were negotiating the "Luda Land Lease Renewal", negotiations with Belarus were also carried out, and compared with the farce between China and Japan, which had no progress in the negotiations, China and Russia have reached agreement in various important fields such as economy, people's livelihood, mines, and territory.
As for the areas of Kyrgyzstan and the Kokand Khanate, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, because they were all controlled by Soviet Russia, the Ulan-Ude of White Russia generously "returned" these areas to Huaxia on the condition of "returning" them, of course, on the premise that Huaxia itself sent troops to take them.
And because of Rokossovsky's westward expedition, Yegorov also transferred a number of troops from Kyrgyzstan, so at this moment there are not many Soviet and Russian troops in Kyrgyzstan, and the regular army has only one division, and after being transferred by Yegorov, there is only one infantry regiment, an artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion.
For this point of arming the Soviet Russian army, Yang Zengxin, the governor of Western Xinjiang and the governor of the province, who was ordered to recover the lost territory, sent a division and more than 8,000 people to recover the lost territory.
