In early August, the sun was scorching, and the sun in the sky was like a huge furnace baking the earth, and all the creatures on the earth were baked to the point that they could not lift their spirits.

On a road leading to eastern Poland, the endless march moved its fat body like a well-fed snake.

Lieutenant Tony leaned against a big tree on the side of the road, and there were a few soldiers who were as virtuous as him, and the procession passed by them, Tony smoked and cursed: "Those damned officers, you actually let us force a march on this hot day, you see, I can wipe a pound of salt on my body!" I'm sure I won't have the strength to have fun when I get to the city."

A middle-aged uncle next to him said: "You have to do it if you can't do it, enjoy it, young man, maybe when you go to the battlefield, the bullets of the Soviet Russians will send you to God, and then you won't be able to have fun!" ”

The tone was a little dull, and the other lieutenant changed the subject: "Hey, have you heard?" In this war with the Russians, all the captured loot had to be handed over, and if this news is true, then wouldn't we have lost a fortune? ”

The middle-aged uncle shook his head: "Where did you hear that?" The trophies handed in are only for weapons, ammunition and war materiel, not counting the jewelry, money, and some valuables on the corpses and prisoners! ”

The armies of Western countries have such a rule, when fighting, soldiers are allowed to kill or capture the enemy and then capture their spoils, which is a large income for soldiers and officers, provided that you can live until the end of the war.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here? Those who have not yet returned to their own troops to look after you. If something goes wrong, I'll strip you naked and tie you up in the sun for three days! A loud roar came from not far away.

Lieutenant Tony and the others heard the voice. Suddenly, his face changed drastically in fright, and he ran away with a smoke.

This defense line in eastern Poland was not short. The 200,000 British troops have to garrison in eastern Poland and launch an attack at a certain time, which is not a small task, but the current situation is that the Allies are attacking Soviet Russia, not Soviet Russia attacking the Allies, so the British army does not need to make too much deployment in defense, and Soviet Russia does not deploy much troops on the Western Front.

At this time, Soviet Russia said that the area under its control was less than one-fifth of that of the Tsarist period, but it still had three million troops, and a large part of these troops were converted from the armies of the Tsarist period. A small number of them were later conscripted into the army, and anyone in the world has to admit that there is hardly any country in the Soviet Union that can compare with it in terms of organizational ability, as long as it is willing, it even made the whole of Soviet Russia a soldier in a very short period of time, which is the most terrible thing about Soviet Russia, which is also the reason why Cai Yi's confidence in being able to defeat Soviet Russia is not very sufficient.

In fact, Soviet Russia's national strength is not strong, and it can even be described as very weak, plus it does not have a huge Siberia to give it a steady stream of blood transfusions, and the resources it can use are not so abundant. The population base was also greatly weakened, but it could not stand up to the fact that it became a united body after being organized by the Soviet and Russian authorities.

In fact, before coming to Warsaw, Xiao Zhenlei had a separate conversation with Cai Ye and told him not to have too much confidence in being able to destroy Soviet Russia. The current Soviet Russia is no longer the Tsarist Russia of the past, and everyone in Russia now ruled by the Soviet Union can pick up a gun to fight the enemy, even children who are only a few years old are working in factories and fields. As soon as the Allies attacked the areas that had been ideologically converted by the Russian authorities, it would be difficult for the Allies to move an inch. Because there was no popular base, people in all the Soviet regions of Russia that passed along the way would hate the Allies. Even the possibility that everyone can become an enemy of the Allied forces will make every soldier of the Allied army feel that there are enemies all around them.

Xiao Zhenlei's request to Cai Ye was to do his best to open up the passage with the South Russia region controlled by Kolchak, and to become one with the area controlled by Kolchak, and at the same time to force Soviet Russia to sit down and negotiate, and the two sides to demarcate the border line, so that Kolchak's Russian provisional government could exist legally and let it contain Soviet Russia.

Xiao Zhenlei knows very well that it is basically difficult to succeed in destroying Soviet Russia militarily through war, unless all Soviet Russians are killed, and it is impossible for the allies to fight another war for five or six years like last time, which is not allowed in terms of conditions, and the military expenses of the allies are limited.

When it became known that the allied forces were coming westward, the Russian authorities organized a million men to march to the western border within a month, and of course at least half of the million were recruits who had not undergone any training.

At present, a large part of the forces of Soviet Russia are attacking Kolchak in the southeast, and it is impossible to transfer troops from the southeast to the western front in a short period of time, the distance is too far, there are too many personnel, and it is even more impossible to draw troops from the eastern front, and the troops on the eastern front must guard against the Chinese army that may rush down at any time in the Ural Mountains.

In fact, the current strength of Soviet Russia is completely the strength inherited from the Tsarist period, and the vast majority of the army is the army left over from Tsarist Russia, but the Soviet Russian army that has undergone ideological transformation has greatly surpassed the previous Tsarist Russia in terms of combat effectiveness.

The long western defense line was only defended by a mere 1 million men, and from the point of view of troops, it seemed a little weak, but this could not be helped, the Soviet Russian side had already used the maximum force in the shortest possible time, and many factories and rural strong laborers were exhausted, leaving only the old and weak women and children.

Unlike the mentality of the Soviet Russian army to resist the attack of the Allies with a decisive heart, the soldiers of Britain, France, the United States and other European countries came with the mentality of grabbing the spoils of war, believing that the Soviet Russian army could not be the opponent of the powerful Allied forces without equipment and quality.

In order to relieve the pressure on Kolchak, Cai had to start ordering an attack on Soviet Russia after the Allied troops arrived at the designated locations and received supplies.

The orders were received by the American, Italian, Belgian, Dutch and other troops, which were located in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, with a total of about 700,000 people, while the Soviet Russian army in this area was less than 300,000, and the Allied forces were 2.5 times larger than the Soviet army in terms of strength comparison.

After receiving the order, the U.S. army, the Italian army, the Belgian army, and the Dutch army attacked eastward together, crossing the border and entering the territory of Soviet Russia, but soon encountered the resistance of the defense line deployed by Soviet Russia.

After two days of attack, the Allies did not make any progress in the north, and a lot of ammunition was consumed, which also caused a lot of casualties to the Soviet army, which was mainly caused by the large-scale shelling of air force bombers and artillery, but the Soviet army had no stubborn will, fighting to the death, and a company, a battalion, or even a regiment on a position fought until the last before the Allies occupied, which greatly delayed the advance of the Allied forces.

In a real week, the Allies only advanced thirty kilometers in the north, Cai Yi was a little worried about this, the Soviet army's will to resist was beyond his imagination, but the casualty report sent by the front line also made him a little relieved, although the Soviet army's will to resist was very strong, but in this week's time, the Soviet army also paid extremely heavy casualties, after all, the flesh and blood could not withstand the bombardment of aircraft artillery, and most of the losses of Soviet and Russian troops were caused by aircraft artillery.

In mid-September, the weather conditions changed, and it began to rain in most areas of northwestern Soviet Russia, and the rain was very heavy, and it rained for many days without the slightest sign of stopping, which caused great difficulties for the Allied forces to advance eastward, and after the rain the roads were muddy, the Allied heavy weapons could hardly move forward, and even the air force fighters could not take off for combat because of the bad weather, and the offensive of the Allied troops in the north had to be stopped.

Bad weather prevented the Allies from continuing to advance in the north, which also gave the Russians time to reinforce the northwest, after the Russians had to send 300,000 troops from the southeast to the northwest for reinforcements, although the Russians had resisted stubbornly, but suffered heavy losses in troops.

Allied High Command.

Since the beginning of the war, the situation at the Allied High Command has completely changed, and it is extremely busy 24 hours a day, and the sound of transmitters and telephones has never stopped. There are those who ask for ammunition supply slips, those who urge reinforcements, those who report on the situation of battles on the front line, those who bomb the enemy, and so on.

Cai Ye stood motionless in front of the map with his arms in his arms in his mouth and unlit cigarettes, since he had a throat disease, he had never smoked since he was cured, although he had been cured for nearly two years, he never smoked again, but he liked to hold a cigarette in his mouth when he took the test again.

"General, Brigadier General Zhang Xiao has arrived!" The adjutant reported not far behind him.

"Where?" Cai Ye immediately turned around and asked anxiously.

As soon as he finished asking, he saw Zhang Xiaozhun striding over and saluting him: "Zhang Xiaozhun, commander of the Huaguo Expeditionary Force, reports to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Ye and Zhang Xiaozhun laughed at the same time and hugged each other.

After a long time, the two separated, and Cai Yi led Zhang Xiaozhun to the side and sat down and said, "It's not easy to fight together again!" ”

"yes!" Zhang Xiaozhun answered, and then asked: "I'm ready over there, when will the fight start?" ”

Cai Yi smiled: "What's the matter, you want to start a war with the Russians so much?" Don't be in a hurry on your side, I'm ready to stab your side in the heart of Soviet Russia as the last dagger. Judging from the current situation, God does not seem to be on our side, it has rained for several days, so that our offensive in the north has to be stopped, and the Soviet Russian side has also taken this opportunity to transfer troops, but this is also officially my purpose, after the Soviet Russia draws troops from the southeast, the pressure on Kolchak has been reduced a lot, your task is first of all to open the connection channel with Kolchak, and now the Soviet Russian side has not mobilized its forces in the southeast, and it is not appropriate for you to move lightly for the time being."
