Putin and Nikolai are going very smoothly to collect the remnants of the federal Russian army, and after the federal Russian army is dispersed, they basically go into the woods, although these deserters have fled, they basically still carry weapons, and they are not weak enough to lose the battle like the Qing army stationed in Korea at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, the main reason why Mao Zibing kept weapons to burrow into the forest was that this was Russia, and there might be predators such as wolves or bears hiding in the taiga, and if they lost their weapons and let the wolves or bears eat them, it would be better to be captured by the Soviet Russian army.

The guerrillas encountered groups of deserters from the Russian army of the Federation, and when these deserters first saw the guerrillas, they often thought that they were Soviet Russian troops and immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered, but soon they found out that the other party was a guerrilla and wanted to win them in. Putin's guerrillas now have no official background, they are no different from bandits, some soldiers are resistant to this, and many people have completely lost the fighting spirit and are unwilling to continue fighting.

This is the same scene that Putin expected at the beginning, but Putin will not let this group of guys leave like this in vain, some very excessive guys were shot by the guerrillas, and there began to be guerrillas specializing in propaganda to shout at this group of deserters, propagating that the end of the Soviet Russian army is just around the corner, and it is the time for good Russian men to find their blood and glory.

Naturally, Putin's ideological education work cannot be as meticulous as Qi Yiming's work for the Far East Army and the Siberian Army. Propaganda of nationalism, sadly describing the fact that the originally powerful Russian nation has fallen to the point where it is today, and that the rejuvenation of the nation needs to be achieved by people with lofty ideals; Instill the will for revenge, rekindle the blood of the repeatedly defeated federal Russian army, and only get up on the battlefield and knock the enemy down is worthy of being a man, Blahblah; Looking forward to the beautiful opportunity, the Chinese-led 12-nation coalition army has broken through the Ural Mountains, and it will not be long before a million well-equipped and considerable combat power will reach Moscow, and Makashev is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he will not be able to jump for a few days, and if he no longer fights now, his name as a deserter will be confirmed in the future, and he will no longer be able to raise his head in society, etc., etc., etc.

Although these things are slightly inferior in terms of realm and level, they still gathered a group of remnants of the Russian army of the Federation who were willing to join the guerrillas and fight the Soviet Russian army behind enemy lines. Putin's ranks quickly grew from more than 1,000 to nearly 10,000, but even so, Putin kept his composure and sanity. He did not expect to engage the Soviet Russian army head-on, but continued to break into pieces, attacking and harassing the Soviet Russian army in various inconspicuous places, making it annoying.

He is not a very outstanding soldier and general, Putin from the moment the Chinese decided to intervene, he made it clear to him the fact that pulling up his guerrillas is definitely not simply to fight against the brutal Soviet Russian army, but to cultivate his own political foundation in the future, Russia will return to the right track sooner or later, bravely confronting the enemy in wartime, in sharp contrast to Yeltsin and gang, he can obviously grab the best ticket to future federal politics.

The PLA Marine Corps in Constanta, Romania, is the only PLA ground force that officially participated in the normal Russian-related war, and Qi Yiming did not use a large-scale army at the beginning, there were many considerations, one is that even if the casualties in a war of this scale are small, it will be a big number, and the other is that the funds to really use hundreds of thousands of PLA troops are enough to make Qi Yiming scratch his head.

The PLA Marine Corps has also achieved great results in recent years, and has performed well in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. The Marine Corps now has six Marine Brigades under its command, each brigade has three regiments, and one regiment has four amphibious combined Marine Battalions. In addition to the six brigades, the Marine Corps command has a number of direct units and base garrisons. Do the math, the total size of the PLA Marine Corps is about 50,000 people.

In this war, in order to cooperate with the expeditionary fleet, the navy specially dispatched some relevant units of four marine brigades, numbering more than 20,000 people. Compared with the millions of troops gathered by Qi Yiming on the eastern battlefield, it is nothing, and it does not undertake the main attack task of the battlefield, mainly to plan operations.

In fact, even the response operation is not the main thing, and a key figure in the Marines' visit to Russia this time is to open up the export and route of the nuclear weapons controlled in the previous Thunder First Strike operation. The port they chose was the port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea coast, which had better hydrological conditions and was able to berth some of the larger ships. In order to specialize in the delivery of nuclear weapons, Qi Yiming built new transport ships, all of which have special security settings and can cope with accidents such as nuclear leakage.

A slightly troublesome point is that Novorossiysk is not far from Grozny, which was previously attacked by nuclear weapons, and although there is no too frightening radiation, there is a certain amount of radioactive contamination, and the marines have to wear heavy three-defense suits to enforce the highest radiation protection standards just to be safe.

On the other hand, the marines did not dare to ignore the Soviet and Russian troops, although their main task was not to fight, but all kinds of equipment were also complete. Each composite Marine Battalion has a tank company armed with 12 light Type 86 Grizzly tanks, and two infantry companies each have 10 amphibious modified Type 89 (ZBL-09) infantry fighting vehicles; Rising to the regimental level, it also has a helicopter brigade, which is generally mainly equipped with helicopters such as Wuzhi-10 and Zhi-20, and an artillery company belonging to the regiment, equipped with 8 105mm self-propelled assault guns.

With such a scale of equipment, the Soviet and Russian armies will not be able to win if they want to sneak attack.

The main needs of the Marine Corps are to rush to the previously controlled nuclear weapons storage site, and then cover the delivery of these nuclear weapons, load them on ships in Novorossiysk, and send them back to the country. Some of the nuclear weapons bases are located quite far away, so the marines have to maneuver thousands of kilometers long, and they only have more than 20,000 people, so naturally they cannot guarantee such a long marching line. Therefore, the farther the target, the generally speaking, is to wait for the army on the Eastern Front to control it, and then march through it with their help.

The Novorossiysk landing operation is mainly carried out by an amphibious assault ship with four dock landing ships, and these five ships together can carry four Type 726 air-cushion landing craft, and can also use helicopters for vertical landing, but because the size of the Marine Corps is not small, there are a total of 4 Marine brigades to land, so even if a certain number of rapids ACV auxiliary landing operations are added, these four Marine Brigades are still divided into several batches before the landing is successful.

It went a lot more smoothly than expected, the Soviet Russian army did not resist, and the fact is that the marines did not find any Soviet Russian troops in Novorossiysk at all, only a city that became deserted because of the fear of a nuclear explosion. In order to guard against radioactive contamination with radiation, the marines had to wear neat three-defense uniforms with trepidation in the hot weather. I believe that it will not be long before someone suggests that air conditioners should be installed in these heavy three-proof suits.

The landing was not hindered in any way, and it went very well. The Marines did not take a break when they arrived, or felt that it was not wise to rest in a radiated area, so with the exception of a small number of personnel who remained in the port of Novorossiysk to garrison and defend the shipping routes, most of the Marines marched north to the interior to meet their comrades who had taken control of nuclear weapons.

It has been nearly a week since the Thunder took the lead, and many special combat personnel who have carried out the mission have not had a good time, and some squads have even run out of supplies, so they can only rely on calling the rear to deliver supplies, and this method may attract the attention and vigilance of the enemy, so many people can only hunt in the wild forest for food.

The appearance of the Marine Corps can be regarded as a relief for many Chinese special forces guarding nuclear weapons, and the first batch of most important ones to be transported away are still ICBMs such as SS-18 Satan, which themselves have a certain degree of mobility, and the danger is also very great, so in the evacuation, this batch of missile launchers is basically the first to leave Russia and return to China.

During the operation, the natural marines also clashed with the Soviet Russian army and even the locals, but basically did not suffer by virtue of their own strength. Compared with these Russians, the Marines are more worried and frightened of the nuclear weapons that will bury hundreds of thousands of people if they explode.

In fact, Qi Yiming has now built a nuclear arsenal of more than 20,000 nuclear warheads for China, a considerable part of which was acquired from the former Soviet Union, and this part of the nuclear weapons is being selected, used for separation, life extension, and equipped on China's nuclear vehicles, such as the Dongfeng, Julang, and Changjian series of missiles.

Qi Yiming believes that the nuclear arsenal that has been preserved at the current scale is actually excessive, and 10,000 nuclear warheads are enough to form a terrible nuclear deterrent. So, he considered the nuclear warheads he got back from Russia this time, plus some that he had obtained from the Soviet Union before, and selected the rest to be weaponized and turned into nuclear fuel for use in nuclear power plants. In fact, on the other hand, the United States has made nuclear warheads from Russia in the last 30s, and in this way it has reduced the nuclear deterrence of competitors and provided energy for itself.

Then there are things like nuclear shells, nuclear mines, nuclear mines, nuclear torpedoes and the like, Qi Yiming is not interested in keeping. In the naturalization of nuclear weapons in the PLA, tactical nuclear weapons carriers are mainly short-range surface-to-surface missiles, long-range precision rocket artillery, guided bombs, air-to-surface missiles, cruise missiles, etc., and funny things such as nuclear artillery shells should be forgotten.

In addition, Qi Yiming also advocated the third-generation tailoring of some relatively old tactical nuclear weapons and upgrading them to weapons with specific tactical indicators, such as neutron bombs, shock wave bombs, X-ray laser projectiles, electromagnetic pulse bombs, etc. Qi Yiming never thought that nuclear weapons would be needed in a future war that would establish the Celestial Empire's leading position in the world, so the plan to build nuclear weapons was also extremely attentive.
