Chapter 39 The heart of a thief does not die

The feud between Poland and Russia goes back a long way, and Poland, once a powerful country, was a de facto Russian vassal before and after World War I. Polish independence was one of the so-called Fourteen Articles proposed by Wilson. After independence, Poland had undue ambitions in the face of civil war Russia, and at the instigation and military assistance of the Entente powers, Poland invaded Russia and attacked it by surprise. Pilsudski was considered a great national hero by Poles in Polish history, but he was also a military dictator.

Pilsudski, who dreamed of creating a Polish federation that would include Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania, had a fever in the head or was caught in the door, and launched a surprise attack on Poland.

Although Pilsudski did something stupid, someone on the Chinese imperialist leader, after getting the news, happily drank a few more drinks in the evening. Because of the outbreak of the Soviet-Polish war, the top of the CPSU suspended plans for an offensive against Novosibirsk. It is stupid to fight on two fronts, and this is something that the top of the CPSU has been trying to avoid.

However, Kolchak did not mean to stop, and after learning of the outbreak of the Soviet-Polish war, he immediately called Fang Jianxiong, asking to launch an attack on Omsk and liberate the Russian people who were enslaved by the Soviet Communist Party.

At the same time, Frunze was trying his best to convince the envoy Stalin and came up with his own reasons for continuing the offensive.

According to Frunze's analysis, the total number of White troops in Novosibirsk is only 300,000, and most of them are White Russian troops without fighting spirit. Among them, the equipment of the Belarusian army is relatively poor, and eighty percent are new recruits. If you don't take advantage of the fact that these Russian troops have not completed their equipment and training to attack, it will be difficult to fight Novosibirsk after the Soviet-Polish war. The most crucial point is that after the Chinese imperialist White Army came to Novosibirsk, it built a large number of strong fortifications, and who knows what Novosibirsk can build in a year? If you make a group of forts, how many lives do you have to fill in?

Stalin was persuaded by Frunze. A joint telegram to Moscow expounded Frunze's point of view. Moscow quickly replied and asked two questions: first, how likely is it to anger Chinese imperialism? Second, how much time will it take to take Novosibirsk? If you judge more than a month, don't start a campaign.

Frunze telegraphed back that the Chinese White Army in Novosibirsk, in the name of volunteers, did not want to clash head-on with the Soviet Russian government. So. The outbreak of a large-scale formal conflict between the two countries is unlikely. Second, attacking the poorly prepared Novosibirsk with 400,000 troops may be a bit difficult in a month, but forty days may be fine. The White Russian army is easy to fight, and it is the squadron that is difficult to deal with. After all, this army has experienced the baptism of war in Europe. I implore the battalion to agree to the army group to launch a campaign according to the original plan, recapture Novosibirsk, and completely destroy the conspiracy of Chinese imperialism to get involved in the great motherland and strangle the cradle of the world revolution by the hands of White Russia.

Judging from this reply, the Moscow camp had the honor of being invited to attend the meeting. The revolutionary died in 1918 in history, and this time and space actually survived. Ren Revolution and his views at the meeting, the first point. There is no doubt that the Chinese imperialists did not want to completely close the door to Sino-Soviet relations, because Comrade Yue Fei was still secretly negotiating with the Chinese imperialist Foreign Ministry. The second point is that there are only six infantry divisions of the Chinese imperialists. It was difficult to withstand the Soviet Red Army, which had gone through a difficult civil war. Thirdly, the proletariat of the whole world, under the call of the Comintern, is launching a great world revolution. Consideration could be given to contacting the opposition parties of the Chinese imperialists and launching an anti-war movement. We will wage a resolute struggle against the reactionary leaders of Chinese imperialism. If necessary. Strikes can also be initiated.

It is a pity that this last point was collectively denied by the top leadership of the CPSU, believing that it was not appropriate to provoke Fang Jianxiong, the head of Chinese imperialism, at this time, lest he go crazy. This guy went crazy, he did everything, he didn't even buy the British account in Wuchang back then, this is a very insidious and vicious opponent, and he should pay enough attention to it.

Comrade Trotsky, the father of the Red Army, believed that Comrade Frunze, commander of the Far Eastern Army, fully understood the difficulties of the campaign and made the most difficult plans, believing that the campaign could still be launched, and that if the White Army could be defeated within 40 days and Kolchak could be completely solved, the risk would still be worth taking.

In the end, it was decided to agree to Comrade Frunze's request to launch an offensive on Novosibirsk on time on April 15 and, in order to ensure victory in the battle, to strengthen an artillery division, an infantry corps to Omsk as quickly as possible. In this way, Frunze's total strength reached 500,000 men, and it was more certain that he would win the battle.

When the CPSU made a decision, Fang Jianxiong's side was also holding a meeting to discuss Kolchak's request.

Jiang Fangzhen, who returned from injury, Huang Xing, Cai Yi, and Zhang Xiaohuai, who attended the meeting despite illness, all attended the meeting. The five giants of the military gathered, and the matter of these five people getting through guò naturally had no difficulty in the military committee.

"According to intelligence analysis, the Russian army has amassed at least 400,000 troops and more than 500 artillery pieces in Omsk. Even if the Soviet-Polish War broke out and half of Frunze's troops were withdrawn, it was not something that Kolchak could deal with. My point of view still depends on the outcome of the Soviet-Polish war, and if the Polish army can win, then agree to Kolchak's request. "Jiang Fangzhen, as chief of the General Staff, has no doubt to be the first to speak.

Cai Ye, who has been recuperating in Beijing since returning to China, is much stronger than another time and space, and after returning to China, he hooked up with a prostitute, which is worthy of being a merry general. As the deputy chief of general staff who has the most combat experience under Fang Jianxiong and has the combat experience of commanding a large corps, Cai Yi's voice in the army is very influential.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think that not only should we not take the initiative to attack, but we must also strengthen the armament of the Novosibirsk side. The capacity of the railways is limited, so let's strengthen the air force. The two newly established air wings can be pulled up completely, and we will not take the initiative to attack, but we cannot but guard against Frunze's refusal to give up the long-prepared campaign. If it was me, I had prepared for a winter, and I didn't want to give up lightly. Cai Ye expressed his unhurried statement, and his tone was more affirmative.

Zhang Xiaohuai said with a smile: "Songpo's judgment is very reasonable, and it is very likely that Frunze will not die." In particular, the opponent in front of him was mainly the defeated general of the White Russian army, and the Soviet army had a very strong mental advantage. There is a problem that I would like to draw your attention to is that the Belarusian army is rotten from top to bottom, which can be seen from the fact that Soviet detachments can cross the line of defense and frequently attack the railway line. The intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency shows that in Novosibirsk now, the nobles are still singing every night, and the merchant girls don't know how to hate the country! ”

Huang Xing's fighting skills have been proven in previous civil wars, and he is still very self-aware, so he did not speak. In fact, at home, Huang Xing's attention was not on the war, but on improving the reserve system and the personnel arrangements for the reorganized troops. Because of Huang Xing's care, some military cadres of the former alliance still have some positions in the army. This phenomenon, Fang Jianxiong didn't see it if he saw it, anyway, Huang Xing should not have a few years to live.

Jiang, Cai, and Zhang have always been the main reliance on Fang Jianxiong's decision-making. These three people also have their own characteristics, Jiang Fangzhen is good at strategy, Cai Yi is good at tactics, and Zhang Xiaohuai has both, and his ability to mediate is outstanding. In the reorganization of the troops, Zhang Xiaohuai contributed the most, and this person does not like to compete for fame and fortune, so he has always been low-key. In fact, the most prominent point of this high-level team in the army is the problem of personal quality. Including Huang Xing, these people are not too ambitious.

"Baili is not a victory and a defeat first, which can be described as a strategic talent. Songpa's proposal to strengthen the volunteer army with the air force is a good strategy to increase the actual combat of the air force and strengthen the volunteer army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Runnong judged the shape from the perspective of armament, which was special but very convincing. It can be seen from this that Soviet Russia is likely to act according to your judgment. Fang Jianxiong opened his mouth to summarize, and after affirming the words of the three speakers, he continued to play the role of a magic stick.

"The Soviet-Polish war seems to me to be a lose-lose affair at best, judging by the ability to mobilize and organize the war, there are not many problems for the Soviet army to defeat the Polish invading army. Just because of the outbreak of the Soviet-Polish war, we should not relax our vigilance and immediately transfer two newly formed air wings deployed in Irkutsk and Harbin to reinforce the strength of the Novosibirsk side. At the same time, the 1st and 2nd Independent Heavy Artillery Brigades were urgently transferred to reinforce Novosibirsk. What do you think? ”

"I don't think there is a problem with the deployment of Fuguo, especially the two heavy artillery brigades, which will be deployed in the Far East, and it is very convenient to have railway transportation." Huang Xing played a handful of soy sauce and made a cameo appearance as a passerby.

At the end of the meeting, because there are five people in the meeting, a resolution can be formed and issued. After the meeting ended, Jiang Fangzhen followed Fang Jianxiong to the office and asked, "Fuguo, how is it in Xinjiang?" ”

When Fang Jianxiong mentioned this, he said with a little headache: "Everything else is easy to say, the key is that the railway from Dihua to Kashgar still needs half a year to be repaired, and without the support of railway transportation, it is difficult to make a difference." Even if Andijan is taken, it may not be able to hold it. The engineering corps has already put in place two divisions, mainly to build roads, and the railways are old and are currently being recuperated in Beijing, and the people below do not have the supervision of the elderly, so it is not reassuring. ”

Jiang Fangzhen suddenly changed his mind when he heard this: "The situation in China has not been very right recently, and it is better to pay more attention to Fuguo." The Republic of China is the argument of the political party and the government, and it is very loud. The Republican Party has had corruption cases one after another, but Zhang Taiyan is not soft at all, and has won seven or eight important officials from various provinces one after another. The opposition parties use newspapers, but they do not make a lot of chapters. ”
