Chapter 383: Defending the Enemy Outside the Country

(Thank you for the tips and renewal tickets of extreme deep-sea diving!) Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend Hanxin づ Yixue! )

Beijing, near the Beihai Sea near the Imperial Palace, has a large compound that is not good-looking. However, outside the compound, there are heavily armed soldiers guarding it, and there is a sign at the intersection outside that reads "Military Restricted Zone", and anyone who wants to get close to it will be persuaded to leave, and if they want to break in, they will only be shot. At the entrance of the street outside the compound, barricades were set up, and the machine guns were guarded 24 hours a day, and if they dared to trespass on the restricted military area, they would be beaten into a honeycomb.

In the compound, thick antennas were erected one by one, and close contact was maintained with troops from all over the country. Here, it is the General Staff, and it is also the location of the base camp of the imperial ** team during the war. After the start of the war, all the roads near the General Staff were under martial law, and no one could approach them except for those who held orders from the Emperor Wang Yuze and special passes issued by the General Staff. Otherwise, it will be punished as espionage.

In the war room of the General Staff, there is a huge sand table, which is the landscape of North Asia. There are small red and blue flags on it, marking the specific situation of the squadron and the Russian squadron. On the walls, too, there are large maps, and busy staff officers will come in at any time to change these markers to show the latest developments.

Wang Yuze stood in front of the huge sand table, his mood surging. The 900,000 Chinese Army and all the equipment and supplies have all arrived at the front line to fight against Russia. Coming soon. This will be the fateful battle of China, which makes the top of the empire very nervous.

"陛xià. The chief of staff has arrived in Jilin and has taken over the command of the Northeast Theater. The Minister of War also arrived in Kulen and was in full charge of a military operation in the Northern Theater of Operations! Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo said to Wang Yuze. In addition to serving as Minister of National Defense, Jiang Xingguo also served as Deputy Chief of General Staff, and during this war, he was responsible for the logistics deployment of the army and gave full support to the frontline operations.

Wang Yuze nodded, and then asked, "When will the attack start?" ”

"The weather has been very nice these days. The snow in the north has melted, the roads have dried out, and it is no longer an impact on the attack! The specific time for the attack is 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. After an hour of artillery preparation, the infantry and cavalry will attack! Jiang Xingguo replied. Tomorrow, June 25, 99, the time for the Chinese Army to attack.

"How are the Russians preparing?" Wang Yuze asked. Though. He looked down on the Russians of this period, and although the Russian soldiers were born with tall cattle and horses, most of them were farmers who had just learned to shoot. If you want to fight the elite Chinese army, it is still slightly insufficient. In order for the empire to rise, the military investment since the establishment of the empire is very large. China's economic and industrial strength. It has far surpassed Russia. Therefore, if nothing else, this battle is already doomed before the war even begins.

"The Russians are constantly strengthening their forces in the Baikal region. At present, there are more than 350,000 Russian troops gathered in this area. Moreover. This number continues to increase. According to the information we have received, Russia is still sending troops from Europe to the Baikal region. Merely. Many of the armies are just new recruits. Combat capability is worrying! Jiang Xingguo said.

"That's good! Send a report to the Chief of Staff and the Secretary of War to launch the offensive on time if there are no accidents. We can't be passive defense, we have to keep the enemy out of the country! Spread the flames of war to the land of another country, not the land of the Empire! Wang Yuze said. Although, there will be a great advantage in local combat, but this is also a sign of weakness and helplessness. The war is fought on its own soil, and only the people of their own country are injured. Didn't the Chinese also pay a huge price in the eight-year War of Resistance in the next generation? Of course, there is no way, the disparity in national strength is too great, and only that method can be adopted.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Xingguo replied. The role of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country. What would it look like if the flames of war were burned on the soil of your own country? Putting the war on the land of the Russians, Chiang Xingguo was very much in agreement.

In order to ensure the victory of this war, Chief of Staff Xiong Wu and Minister of War Cai Yun went to Jilin and Kulen respectively to understand the dynamics of the front line and make the fastest response. For the Imperial Army, this battle can only be won, not lost. Now, the squadron has completed its preparations, while Russia has not yet completed the final preparations because of the distance. The Chinese Army's offensive will take them by surprise, and this will be of great help to China in gaining superiority on the battlefield.

Jilin, a compound provided by the provincial government, has been guarded by elite soldiers. Now, it has become the headquarters of the Northeast Theater of Operations. Xiong Wu, the chief of staff, personally sat here to direct the battle between the First Army and the Second Army.

Xiong Wu stood in front of the large map, and the comparison of strength between China and Russia, as well as the possible changes on the battlefield, were all in his mind, as if they were rehearsing.

"Record the order!" Xiong Wu said suddenly.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" The staff officer who followed Xiong Wu immediately took out paper and pen.

"Order the front-line units, the battle will start at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning! The 3rd, 47th and 55th Divisions, the main forces of the 1st Army, crossed the Churguna River and attacked Chita. The 13th and 54th Divisions attacked Burleigh. The 48th Division attacked Hailan Pao. Artillery brigades of corps supported the battle for the assault on Chita. The cavalry brigade was responsible for cutting off Chita and Ulan-Ude. The 14th, 21st, and 46th Divisions, as well as the newly formed 56th and 57th Divisions, of the 2nd Cavalry Army, attacked Shuangchengzi, and it was necessary to capture Shuangchengzi within three days, and then attack Vladivostok. The 25th Division attacked Dalnerechensk and blocked the northward escape of the Russian Far Eastern Army. The artillery brigade of the army supported the battle of attacking Shuangchengzi, and the cavalry brigade cooperated with the 25th Division! Xiong Wuyan said.

The staff officer recorded all the orders and, after determining that there were no other orders, immediately issued the orders to the two army groups at the front. The atmosphere in the command was a little tense, and everyone knew that the big war was about to begin.

At the same time, in Kulen's headquarters, Cai Yun was doing the same thing, giving orders to the Third and Fourth Armies in the Northern Theater.

"Tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning, artillery preparations will begin. At 7 o'clock, the infantry attacked, tearing through the Russian lines. The Third Army was responsible for breaking through the Kyakhta line of the Russian army and attacking Ulan-Ude. The Fourth Army marched towards Baikalsk, blocking reinforcements from the Kurtsk direction to Ulan-Ude. The Third Cavalry Army cooperated with the Third Army to attack Ulan-Ude, and it must completely annihilate the 150,000 Russian troops near Ulan-Ude! Cai Yun ordered. At present, Russia in the Baikal region has gathered 350,000 troops, of which 150,000 are deployed in Ulan-Ude, and the other 200,000 are in Kurtsk. At the same time, the Russian side is sending a large number of troops to the eastern Siberian region to ensure victory in this war.

The third battlefield is the Northwest Battlefield. The Fifth Army, which was reorganized by the North-Western Military District, as well as the armies of the 1st Cavalry Army, were ready. Tomorrow morning, they will cross the editor and launch an offensive against the Russian army entrenched in Central Asia. The Russian army does not have many troops in Central Asia, and it is foreseeable that they will not be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese army at all. However, the further Central Asia is from the Russian hinterland, and the more quickly it can be supported by the forces of the European part of Russia. Therefore, the battle in the Northwest Theater is also not easy to fight!

With the deployment of troops from both sides, the clouds of war in North Asia are getting thicker and thicker. Both sides have deployed a large number of troops on the border, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that war is about to break out.

On the Russian side, the army in the Far East was commanded by the Governor-General of the Far East, Aleksayev, a Russian nobleman and a confidant of Tsar Nicholas II. However, Aleksayev's military talents were average, but he was good at sycophancy, which made him very popular with Tsar Nicholas II, which is why he was able to become the governor of the Far East. It's just that when the Great War was about to break out, serving as Governor-General of the Far East may not be a good thing for Aleksayev. The kind of aristocratic life in Moscow was the most suitable for him. Of course, Governor Aleksayev was also ambitious and wanted to establish something in the Far East, so he agreed to be the Governor of the Far East.

The most important battlefield in this war is the Northern Theater, that is, the Baikal Territory. On the Russian side, the supreme commander of the Baikal region of the Russian army is Grand Duke Nikolai, whose full name is Nikolai? Nikolayevich, the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II, is currently the director of the Russian cavalry, and has a very high prestige in the Russian army. Now, it is Grand Duke Nikolai who sits in Kurtsk and has full command of the Russian army's operations in the Baikal region. Tsar Nicholas II, although conceited, was also aware of his flaws, he did not want to lose the war, so he gave the war to the command of Grand Duke Nicholas. The former Russian army in East Siberia is only Lieutenant General Vladimir, who served as the commander of the Russian army in Ulan-Ude, responsible for commanding the Russian army in Ulan-Ude. However, Lieutenant General Vladimir did not consider this a good errand, and if war broke out, Ulan-Ude would be the first target of the Chinese army's attack.
