The Russian army in Novosibirsk City, after three days of fierce street fighting with the siege troops of the Chinese Empire, the commander of the Russian 7th Army, Klikoilev, who was responsible for the defense of Novosibirsk City, and the commander of the 8th Army, Vegsky, decided to break through to the outside of the city.

However, the Third Guards of the Chinese Empire and the Andong Provincial Garrison that attacked Novosibirsk City had long been prepared for the possibility of the Russian army breaking through in the city, and when the Russian troops trapped in the two urban areas in Novosibirsk City broke through to the outside of the city at the same time, they just collided with the solid defensive positions of the Third Guards Army and the Andong Provincial Garrison, so that the Russian army that broke through suddenly hit a big bag.

Nearly 40,000 Russian troops originally entrenched in the southeast city of Novosibirsk not only did not succeed in breaking through, but also chose to surrender to the troops of the Chinese Empire after losing more than 10,000 people, and even the northwest city where the commander of the 7th Army, Klikoilev, and the commander of the 8th Army, Vichgsky, were located, also failed to break throughIn the case of failure to break through, there is still a place to retreat, but at this time, the northwest city originally occupied by the Russian army has been captured by the Third Guards Army and the Andong Provincial Garrison, and the original 110,000 Russian troops in the northwest city are a little more than 70,000.

In the basement under the temporary headquarters of the two armies in Novosibirsk, that is, under a small two-story European-style building that has become a ruin, the commander of the 7th Army, Klikoilev, said to another Russian commander with a gray face: "Vecchiggsky, it's over, it's all over!" The army of the Chinese Empire. Outside the city of Novosibirsk, using the fortifications we had previously built, a very strong defensive line was re-established, and our troops desperately broke through to the outside, but without success, and it seemed that we were going to be trapped here. ”

The commander of the 8th Army, Vechgsky, also had a feeling of despair at this time. The breakthrough just now, not only was it unsuccessful, but the troops trapped in another urban area have also lost contact, and what is more fatal is that in this breakthrough, the last part of the ammunition of the Russian army is almost exhausted, so that at dawn tomorrow, the remnants of the two group armies. How to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army?

Khairoilev then asked urgently: "Vecchigosky, you are talking!" What do you say we 2 armies should do? The troops are running out of ammunition. ”

Vecchisky smiled bitterly and sighed: "The remaining troops in the southeast city should be gone, and now there are only more than 70,000 of us who are about to run out of ammunition, and we can't defend it, and we can't break through and break through it, what else do you say we can do!" ”

Klikoilev sighed when he heard this, in fact, he also had an idea in his heart. It's just that I didn't say it, and I got to this point. In addition to surrendering, you can only wait for death, but human life is only once, and no one wants to lose their lives in vain.

Vicky then said: "Our two armies have done their best, and with the losses of our two armies, we can hold out until now. It's already a very big miracle, and I'm sure even His Majesty the Tsar can understand us! ”

Klikoilev hesitated for a moment and said: "Now there is only one way to live, surrender, and we don't need to give it to His Majesty the Tsar...... Send a telegram? ”

Vecchiggsky also hesitated for a moment and said, "Send a telegram!" Explain our situation here to His Majesty the Tsar, our family is still in the country, don't be implicated in our surrender. ”

Inside the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia held tightly in his hand an urgent telegram that War Minister Gorrosky had just sent him.

Nicholas II held the telegram in his right hand, clenched it into a fist fiercely, crumpled the telegram in his right hand into a ball, and said to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of the Navy Witte and the Minister of the Navy Makarov with a pale face: "The commander of the 7th Army, Klikoilev, and the commander of the 8th Army, Vechigsky, sent a telegram to St. Petersburg that they are ready to surrender to the Chinese Imperial Army attacking the city of Novosibirsk, and the 7th Army, the 8th Army, and the city of Novosibirsk are all finished!" ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte and Minister of the Navy Makarov looked at each other with surprised expressions, and then at War Minister Korrowsky with inquiring eyes, and Korrosky, who also looked ugly, nodded to the two of them, affirming the truth of the matter.

Nicholas II slammed the telegram in his hand to the ground and said to Gorrosky: "It has been 4 days since the beginning of the war, why haven't the reinforcements sent to Novosibirsk have arrived?" Didn't the 15th Army go to the aid of the city of Novosibirsk? Klikoilev and Vechigsky said on the telegram that they had fought a tragic three-day street battle with the troops of the Chinese Empire in the city of Novosibirsk, and now the two armies had only more than 70,000 men left, and the ammunition had been exhausted, and there was no news of reinforcements, so they could no longer hold on, so they had to choose to surrender to the enemy. ”

Gorrosky said with a helpless wry smile: "Your Majesty the Tsar, the 15th Army, which is ready to go to Novosibirsk City to support, and the 14th Army, which is ready to support Omsk City, are all on the periphery of Omsk City, blocked by the army of the Chinese Empire, and now not only can not support Novosibirsk City, but even Omsk City is in danger, and the 2 armies of the 12th Army in Omsk City have sent countless telegrams to St. Petersburg asking for help, this Chinese Imperial Army in Omsk City, Not only did they block the reinforcements of our two armies, but they also launched a fierce attack on the city of Omsk, which has now lost half of its city. ”

When Tsar Nicholas II heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Order the 14th Army and the 15th Army to rescue the city of Omsk at all costs, now the city of Novosibirsk has been lost, if the city of Omsk is lost again, the army of the Chinese Empire can fight all the way to the city of Chelyabinsk near the Ural Mountains!" ”

Located in the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains, Chelyabinsk is an important station of the Trans-Siberian Railway, from Omsk to Chelyabinsk. If the city of Omsk is occupied by the troops of the Chinese Empire, the troops of the Chinese Empire can reach the city of Chelyabinsk, and if the city of Chelyabinsk is lost again, it will be a real disaster for Russia. The armies of the Chinese Empire could cross the Ural Mountains and enter the European regions of Russia.

Gorrosky said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, the War Department has given a death order to the two commanders of the 14th Army and the 15th Army, if they cannot rescue the city of Omsk, then they will be court-martialed, but the two commanders of the 14th Army and the 15th Army sent a telegram saying that the army of the Chinese Empire has an absolute superiority in aircraft and artillery, and has set up two blocking positions outside the city of Omsk, and their two armies have paid a heavy price. Still did not break through the first line of blocking positions of the Chinese Imperial Army. ”

The 14th Army and the 15th Army both belonged to the newly established group armies of Russia, and the heavy weapons such as artillery were much less than the original 13 group armies of Russia, and there was no way, the heavy weapons of these four group armies were not yet in place, and the Chinese Empire declared war on Russia, and just after the war began, the more than 2 million troops on the Russian border suffered a heavy blow. These four newly formed army groups had to rush to the front line immediately. as reinforcements.

The Ninth Field Army of the Chinese Empire in Omsk City was equipped with large-caliber artillery, ten times that of the Russian 14th Army and the 15th Army, plus a large number of tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the Ninth Field Army, and the air support of nearly 100 fighters of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, although the two Russian Army groups had a great advantage in strength. However, relying only on the mode of filling in with human lives, it was impossible to break through the blocking position established by the Ninth Field Army.

Tsar Nicholas II said anxiously: "Then continue to send reinforcements to the city of Omsk, the city of Omsk must not be lost!" ”

Gorrosky nodded and said: "The War Department has ordered the 9th Army and the 10th Army to retreat from the border line area to the rear to gather troops and rush to the city of Omsk to support, and these two armies can still gather about 350,000 troops." In addition, more than 80,000 troops of the 7th Army and the 8th Army, which were routed from the periphery of Novosibirsk on the first day of the war, were ordered by the War Department to support the city of Omsk. ”

Tsar Nicholas II frowned and said: "The troops of the 9th Army and the 10th Army, as well as the remnants of the 7th Army and the 8th Army, are all newly defeated divisions, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, can't they send some fully formed troops to Omsk City?" Will these newly defeated divisions be able to resolve the crisis in the city of Omsk? ”

Gorrosky shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Your Majesty the Tsar, at present, our front line is almost completely defeated, and our War Department must leave enough troops to guard the front line of the Ural Mountains, such as the city of Chelyabinsk. If a large number of troops are transferred to the front line, that is, the terrain of the first line of the Ural Mountains is conducive to defense, and we also lack enough troops to defend, after all, we are preparing for the newly formed 10 group armies, and we have just begun to prepare, and it will take a long time before the formal formation of the army, and only when these 10 new group armies are formed, can our Russian Empire have enough troops to deal with the attack of the Chinese Empire, and even launch a counterattack. ”

Tsar Nicholas II let out a long sigh, the whole person suddenly aged a lot, after the Sino-Russian border conflict, he was originally full of ambition, ready to be ashamed, but Russia was not ready, the Chinese Empire took the first move, as a result, Russia fell into a comprehensive passivity all of a sudden, Nicholas II knew in his heart that Russia in the area east of the Ural Mountains, is currently a little dangerous, even the Ural Mountains, Nicholas II is not sure, can block the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, After all, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Chinese Imperial Army in the past few days is really too ferocious, and it has become even more fierce than it was a few years ago!

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte looked at Nicholas II with a gloomy face and said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, Britain and France have already given us all the funds for our free aid to Russia, and in addition to the weapons and equipment in the free aid, Britain and France are also stepping up the delivery of weapons and equipment to our Russia. ”

Seeing Tsar Nicholas II's suddenly depressed appearance, the Minister of the Admiralty Makarov gently stabbed Gorrosky beside him with his hand.

Gorrosky immediately understood and said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, in fact, the difficulties of the war are only temporary, with sufficient funds and sophisticated weapons and equipment of Britain and France, our new group army should be able to be formed in a short period of time and go to the battlefield to participate in the battle to defend the Russian Empire." In addition, our War Department has deployed heavy troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and a large number of troops who have retreated from the border line have also retreated to the front line of the Ural Mountains for regrouping in accordance with the orders of our War Department. ”

Tsar Nicholas II already knew that Britain and France had made a lot of moves after the Chinese Empire declared war on Russia, and in addition to transferring the gratuitous aid promised to Russia to Russia as soon as possible, they were also ready to continue to increase support for Russia.

Tsar Nicholas II rubbed his temples with both hands and said: "By the way, is the railway between the city of Novosibirsk and the city of Omsk destroyed?" Otherwise, the Chinese Imperial Army, which occupied the city of Novosibirsk, could use the railway to quickly advance to the city of Omsk, then the city of Omsk would be basically hopeless. ”

Gorrosky nodded and said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, rest assured, the city of Novosibirsk to the city of Omsk has been destroyed in many sections, and the Chinese imperial army that captured the city of Novosibirsk should not want to use this railway to attack the city of Omsk in a short time."
