Chapter 389: Sniper

Poland's Kiev operation has been officially put on the agenda, although the Soviet Union realized that it was very difficult to fight with Poland in Ukraine, Wrangel on the Crimean Peninsula, and with the Republic of China in Transbaikal and the Far East, and it was very difficult to maintain a front-line force of more than 200,000 troops on the third front, but Wrangel shook the foundation of the direct existence of the Soviet power, and Poland and the Republic of China had to recover from the Soviet Union at the same time a large area of territory occupied by Tsarist Russia, which could not be solved by 120,000 square kilometers.

With the national strength of the Soviet Union, even if they did not want to, these leaders and brains who were dedicated to defending Soviet power had to deal with attacks from different directions on these three fronts at the same time.

Following the deployment of 6 army groups, 20 infantry divisions and 6 cavalry brigades in the Ukrainian direction, 22 divisions and 5 cavalry brigades were accumulated in Irkutsk, Siberia, and Tulum. In addition, there are more than 20,000 guerrilla units in the Far East and local troops. The total number of people is about 230,000. In order to deal with the threat of both the Russians and the Republic of China army, Xinjiang invested 3 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry brigades of about 34,000 people. In other words, the Republic of China at the same time contained nearly 300,000 Red Russian troops in the Far East.

The long winter in the north makes it very painful to start a war in winter, Qin Yu is a traveler, with the lessons of Napoleon and Hitler's madman in World War II, Qin Yu will naturally not make the same mistake, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and a winter is enough for Red Russia to prepare for war. However, in view of the fact that Japan was still overwhelmed by the guerrilla tactics of the other side in the Soviet Far East, it was not clear for a while what Japan had gained or lost during this period.

Tulum was at this time only an inconspicuous town in Russia. At this time, several Russian-shaped men were keeping a certain distance from Frunze, vigilantly looking at a peasant talking to Frunze, lest the other party have any bad actions and hurt Frunze. The serious consequences are not something that a few of them can bear.

"Hello, I'm fleeing from the north, and I'm trying to escape this war, and I want to get out of here too." Frunze asked with a pleasant face.

"Yes, there is another war, and this war will take us as people. They also had to collect food and livestock from their families, and if they didn't get it, they would be killed by enemy soldiers. You also escaped from the north? Judging by the way you look, you must be a rich peasant. Flee, the Red Army from the west is too terrible, specifically targeting the rich peasants, but we poor people don't need to be afraid. Qixing Muk said worriedly.

"Oh? Is it. I ran all the way from the back. Can't find a place to go and don't know where you're going to take refuge? Frunze asked curiously.

"Let's go to the east first, if not, go to the country of the Chinese in the south." Qixing Mook said with a sigh.

"To China? Are they better off there than Russia? Frunze asked, looking surprised.

"That's good, there is no discrimination against Russians over there, and the policy towards Russia is very friendly, there have been a few people in our town, and I said it when I came back to pick up some things two months ago. Even if it is a person who does not have a trace of property. When you get there, you can also apply to their government for relief food and distribute work. At least hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled to the south, and almost every town in our neighboring town of Tariq has gone. If I hadn't injured my leg a few months ago, I'm afraid I'd be there now, and I didn't expect to run into this battle, which is really unlucky. Qixing Muk said rather gloomily.

"Yes, the Chinese will be so kind, we robbed their land and killed their people before, don't they hold a grudge at all?" Frunze said incredulously. "I heard that the Republic of China in the south is very vicious, and they do so much just to curry favor with the Russians, so that they will not be resisted by more people when they invade the Russian land."

"Hold a grudge? Perhaps, but at least now it seems that their attitude towards the Russians is still good, even better than the previous tsars. As for this land, whoever is in charge is the same, the key is to give us civilians a way to live. Qixing Muk shrugged his shoulders, the appeal of the common people is very simple, no matter who is the emperor, as long as they can give the people below them a bite to eat, it is enough to have a comfortable living environment, as for whether it is the tsar or the Chinese, what does it matter.

Hearing the words of Qixing Muk's almost betrayal of the country, the strong men looked angry, and hesitated whether to step forward to arrest Qixing Muke and punish the other party, but they were stopped by Frunze.

"The intentions of the Republic of China are really sinister, hundreds of thousands of people have fled to their country, and the Far East has been very few of our Russian people, and now so many people have been recruited by the Republic of China, judging from the attitude of ordinary people towards them, I am afraid that the guerrilla tactics against the Japanese will not be as successful as they are against the Japanese." Voroshilov said with undisguised concern on his face.

"It's not that it won't succeed, it's that it will fail. A guerrilla force that has lost its mass base cannot form a sufficient threat. Frunze pointed out sharply, "Compared with the mobility of the Japanese army, the lack of manpower, and the weakness of being completely hated by the Russians have been completely avoided by the Republic of China." Whether it is in Outer Mongolia or Northeast China, the Republic of China has a large population to rely on, unlike the Japanese army, which is isolated and helpless. Having the Mongolian steppe allows the Republic of China to have a large number of cavalry, whether it is sabotage behind enemy lines, or rapid pursuit, retreat will have a certain initiative. This was something that the Soviets could not compare. ”

Frunze sighed, relative to the Republic of China, which has a large grassland, the horse source of the Russian side as the largest Don hippo base has been destroyed, and a large number of Don hippos have been killed in battle, in the case of maintaining enough cavalry on the Ukrainian battlefield on the Western Front, I am afraid that there will rarely be enough horses to replenish in the Far East, and the five cavalry brigades seem to be quite a lot, but compared with the army of the Republic of China, especially the Northeast Army as the backbone. Each infantry division of the Northeast Army has a divisional cavalry regiment, plus the attached Russians, the cavalry can be greatly improved at any time. What's more, the Republic of China also has an independent cavalry brigade.

"In addition, in view of the particularity of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Trans-Siberian Railway has lost its original deterrent effect, and has instead become a tool of the Republic of China, and it is not suitable for a large-scale eastward advance before defeating the large army of the Republic of China stationed in Outer Mongolia." Frunze said sharply, "On the contrary, during this period of time, the guerrillas in the Far East will be hit by the superior forces of the Republic of China, and the foundation laid before in the Far East will probably be destroyed." ”

"According to reliable intelligence. The Republic of China will be able to build a railway to Kulen next year, and if it can't defeat the army of the Republic of China this year, it will want to defeat the army of the Republic of China in Outer Mongolia in the future. There was a much heavier price to pay, and perhaps this was an opportunity for the Soviets to completely control Outer Mongolia and the Far East. Voroshilov said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"In any case, compared to the brutal Japanese. The Republic of China is a worthy of respect. And even more terrible opponents. Frunze sighed, judging from the current situation, this war has not yet begun, the Republic of China has begun to occupy the initiative to a certain extent at this time due to the adequate preparations in the early stage, if the Republic of China army cannot be defeated through this war, then what awaits the Soviets will be a vast area east of Baikal, which will be out of the control of the Soviets.

Perhaps the sporadic war in the east had already begun at this time. Frunze's gaze drifted to the far east.

As Frunze had predicted, the armies of the Republic of China arrived in Kulen one after another. As for the original stationed in Kyakhta, Semenov has led his troops north, although Seminov is not very willing, but at this time there is no room for him to disagree in Outer Mongolia. The dictator in the south of the Republic of China has provided a wealth worth 1 million to wait for him in the Republic of China, and the result of not cooperating is not only no money, but even his life is very worried. Just like the crazy baron Engen, who was taken to Kulen and executed in public, this guy was the first White Russian nobleman to be publicly executed abroad, and he really lost the face of the White Russian nobleman.

…………

Gotta gotcha....

The horses of the brigade galloped on the ground, and the dozen or so Red Russian soldiers in front of them were dressed no different from ordinary Russians, of course, if you did not look at the weapons they were carrying on their backs.

"Hurry up, you have to speed up a little, otherwise you will be caught up by the Republic of China soldiers behind." On the edge of the jungle east of Hailanpao, more than a dozen Red Russian soldiers kept whipping their horses to speed up.

"This battle is really aggrieved, if it weren't for the large number of cavalry in the Republic of China, how would they be our opponents!" Tucar, who was running at the end of the line, complained unwillingly.

"That is, there are indeed too many cavalry in the Republic of China, and I don't know when our army will arrive." Dandonsky looked expectantly to the west, hoping for reinforcements. Before the heavy snow closed the mountain, most of the troops of the Republic of China were only cramped in Boli and other important transportation towns, but since the snow melted, all the Red Russian guerrillas could feel the pressure of the other side coming and going like the wind. There are too many cavalry in the Republic of China, with Boli and Hailan Pao as the center, at least five or six thousand people. Relatively speaking, the Red Russian fighting forces in the Far East were scattered everywhere with less than 1,000 troops, and as long as the slightly concentrated troops were targeted by the other side, they could not escape the result of annihilation.

Having lost the protection of the snow, the army of the Republic of China was always able to rely on the advantage of speed to intercept and pursue them. The group of Red Russian cavalry in front of him entered a dense forest and walked more than ten miles of old forests and mountain roads before throwing off the cavalry behind them.

In fact, the Republic of China only allocated a cavalry brigade of 2,000 people in the Far East, plus the cavalry regiment of the 6th Division of Luo Qizheng, which was only 2,500 people, and the rest were infantry on horseback. In order to cope with the guerrillas who came and went like the wind in Red Russia, the Republic of China sent a large number of horses and equipment in places where there were insufficient troops.

"At twelve o'clock, the distance is 495 meters, and the wind speed is 3......"

Just when more than a dozen Red Russian cavalrymen thought that they had escaped from the pursuit of the Republic of China army, they didn't know that at this time, several guns had secretly targeted them who were resting on their horses.

A tall figure was now covered in leaves, and unlike other snipers, he was used to fighting alone. Although he is also blonde and white-skinned, Gazanev does not have a good impression of these Red Russian soldiers in front of him, and may have driven the Japanese army back to Vladivostok, but after this period of brainwashing and training in the Northeast Army, while leaving too much blood and tears in the Far East, Gazanev no longer cares about his appearance, and in the Northeast Army, aren't there so many effective Russians?

Bang! A bullet was fired, traveling hundreds of meters and hitting a Red Russian soldier in the chest. The interval was less than a second, and two more gunshots rang out, other snipers lurking in the dense forest.

In the midst of the gunfire, the two Red Russian soldiers fell again.

The remaining eleven Red Russian soldiers dismounted in panic, looked for cover nearby, and looked around with a great change in their faces, looking at the green grass and miscellaneous trees, and there was no figure in sight, but the gunfire and the killed comrades just now reminded them that the enemy was really hiding around, and there was no trace to be found.

Bang!

Two more gunshots, accompanied by the sound of gunshots, two comrades fell to the ground again, one of them was hit in the head with a big hole, this time looking for the gunshots to clear the general direction, but still can't see the shadow of the other party.

This battle is too wicked. The rest of the Red Russian soldiers looked at each other in horror, what kind of enemy was it, and it was so terrifying.

After a period of deathly silence, fear spread among the remaining seven or eight Red Russian soldiers.

Two more fell, and the other looked at them like hunters lurking in the shadows, looking down on them.

"Run, run, you can't wait to die like this anymore." They are all soldiers who have experienced the frontal battlefield and fought with the Japanese army, and they are also brave and fearless in battle, and they used to think that as long as they are not afraid of death, they can fight, but the current situation is not feasible at all, and they are not afraid of death, and they can't even see the other party's people, how can this battle be fought?

The only remaining five or six Red Russian soldiers were in a mess, and they didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment longer, and some of them even ran into the devil.

But for the three snipers hiding in the shadows, five or six Red Russian soldiers were just two bullets each, and the other party didn't know how to hide at all, and it was not at all challenging to fight with such a prey.

"Gazanev, you're a little too fierce, one person actually killed six." Woodsmir came over with a rifle, dusting the muzzle of the gun and smiling as he looked at Gazanev in the distance among the weeds. It's not the same as Gazarnev's family who died at the hands of the Japanese. Woodsmere was a former White Russian soldier, most of his family was killed by the Red Russian army in the war, and now only one daughter is left in junior high school in Mukden. Now he is also a member of the Special Operations Brigade.

"You're not bad either." Gazanev got up and replied coldly.

"Hehe, it's all the same training, how bad can it be? It seems that our opponents are completely unaware of the horror of snipers, and if they want to use the same set against the Japanese against our army, I am afraid they will not be able to do it, and their soldiers are simply a herd of lambs to the slaughter under our special operations brigade. Woodsmill shrugged his shoulders and pulled over a horse, a dozen horses, which was already a lot of wealth for the partisans of Red Russia.

Gazanev was silent, indeed, this was already the thirty-seventh Red Russian partisan soldier he had killed. He didn't know how many people the Special Operations Team had put in this area, but there were twelve of them in one squad alone. And the special operations team is far inferior to their squad, and there are even more powerful snipers than him. In the face of such a tactic of breaking up the whole into parts, those Red Russia still have no effective countermeasures. (To be continued......)
