Chapter 41: Kill me

Although the proletarian comrades hated Nicholas II, in terms of the concept of warfare, the comrades built up an armed force that was customary in old Russia, that is, the lives of soldiers were not taken seriously.

The comrades' combat methods are also the same as before, they do not have outstanding generals, and after these company commanders and platoon commanders suddenly become generals, they unconsciously follow the set of tactics taught to them by their generals in the past, to fight the Japanese.

But this set really didn't work anymore, and after the battle of Neriungli, the comrades themselves realized that they couldn't fight like this, although their equipment and quality were far inferior to the Japanese, and the defeat was reasonable, but more than 100,000 people were killed in less than two days, which is somewhat unreasonable.

What is even more incomprehensible is that the Russian troops died 60,000 or 70,000 dead and 30,000 were captured, and only a small number of people escaped from the encirclement by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain, while the losses of the Japanese side were negligible, and according to the official statistics of the Japanese, the little Japan lost a total of more than 130 people.

Although the Japanese have always had the habit of exaggerating their great exploits, even if the casualties of the Japanese were increased tenfold, the disparity would be great. How many years have just passed since the Russo-Japanese War, and at that time Russia could still have a head-to-head contest with Japan, what happened now?

In addition to dragging out the war according to the old ways, the Russians have also begun to wonder whether their war model should be changed, and whether the battle with Turkey is just a flash in the pan for Russia. Is that combat mode suitable for the Japanese?

Trotsky decided to give it a try.

Just as Trotsky was regrouping his troops, a skirmish was fought in Nelyungri.

While the Japanese were still reeling in victory, a squad of Russian cavalry suddenly attacked one of their barracks. Little Japan didn't expect the Russians to have the courage to come back, and was caught off guard by the Russian cavalry, and one person was turned on his back, and more than 300 Japanese soldiers in that barracks were cut off by sabers while they were still asleep.

The Japanese troops nearby heard the gunfire and hurried over to support, but by the time they arrived, the Russian cavalry had already killed all the Japanese, leaving only the headless corpses on the ground, and the battle was fought cleanly. There is no mud and water in the slightest.

After suffering this loss, little Japan immediately ordered all troops to be on strict alert to prevent the Russians from attacking again. At the same time, they sent troops to chase after the Russian cavalry, and it didn't matter if they didn't catch up after chasing dozens of kilometers, they only took this raid as a lesson, and they didn't take it to heart after learning experience.

Of course, the Japanese media will not report on this incident, and the Japanese army brigade that has been eliminated as an organization should have disappeared.

The Japanese did not expect that the victory in this battle would indeed have no effect on the war between Japan and Russia, but he inspired a group of Russian soldiers to fight, and he convinced a Russian officer. In the face of the Japanese army, which was superior in quality and firepower, the only way for the Russians to win was speed, and the Russian cavalry was already their last resort.

The Russian officer eventually stayed with his cavalry battalion, where he continued to fight. In later days, the name of this Russian officer and his unit would seriously threaten the logistical supply lines of the Japanese army, and they became a nightmare that the Japanese army could not get rid of, and his name was Budyonny.

By February of the first year of the Republic, there had been little progress on the Chinese side in Siberia. There were a few battles to the point where they were fought, and they were fought with real knives and guns. The bullets that came and went were definitely not acting, as the peacekeepers in Western countries could see.

It stands to reason that the Siberian bandits have no way to compete with the Chinese troops at all, and they are more than one grade behind in terms of weaponry and personnel quality. But the Chinese forces seem to be suffering from the fact that there are too few combatants. Just those 8,000 people, not only to protect logistics but also to protect the peacekeeping forces of other countries, especially the Chinese, this time it seems that they really came to rescue Russian citizens, and they actually set up five refugee camps for those fleeing Russians to live. These camps are also the target of the bandits, and the Chinese side seems to be running out of manpower.

This really makes the gentlemen a little anxious. If the Chinese side can keep up with the current smooth sailing of the Japanese, it will be tantamount to two blows to Comrade Trotsky.

More importantly, Siberia is the richest region in Russia. Laid down here. It is tantamount to cutting off the lifeblood of the proletarian regime, the winter in Russia is very cold, and 90% of the charcoal used here for the winter is collected in Siberia, as well as coal, and 60% of the Russian coal mines are concentrated here.

It is precisely because of the abundance of the proletariat here that many Russian bourgeoisie and foreign investors and businessmen have their industries here, and after the success of the revolution of Comrade Trotsky, all those foreign businessmen were driven out, and Lao Maozi's own businessmen were also purged.

The British side even said that as long as China can knock down Siberia, don't you want oil wells? There are now more than eighty oil wells there, and we can give you some.

In addition, Siberia is rich in metallic and non-metallic minerals, and it has almost all the mineral resources that have been found in the world. The reserves are very considerable, and there are many strategic resources that China urgently needs.

Gentlemen say that you can touch these things in China. We can't give you the share that originally belonged to us, and those that used to be the Russian side, you can negotiate with the Russians and divide some appropriately.

What do you think? Gentlemen say enough, right? Just as they gave Shandong to Japan in order to encourage Japan to help them in World War I, despite the fact that China was also a member of the Entente, now they seem to have forgotten that the treaty between Britain and France and Nicholas II has not been abolished, and they seem to have forgotten to inquire about Nicholas II's attitude.

Japan was satisfied with a Qingdao at the beginning, and that was because Japan is an island country and has never seen the world. Yang Xiaolin was really a little angry after reading the diplomatic documents given to him by Mr. Sadaoyi, and asked China to help those foreign businessmen get back everything they had in Siberia, but the gentlemen did not say anything and used Lao Maozi's share to fool themselves.

He felt that he would be a little too stupid if he said yes. If China wants to take the Russians' share. I won't talk about going to discuss with Nicholas II at all, as for whether you British's share can be kept, it depends on how I do things, Mr. Sadaoyi seems to have forgotten that Yang Dagui is a beast.

Regardless of this, even if China does not finally take Siberia into its arms, it will definitely not let him remain in the pockets of the Russians. During the Cold War, the United States said that if Siberia is left to Russia, then sooner or later this behemoth will stand up.

Commander Yang thinks this sentence makes a lot of sense.

He promised Mr. Sadaoyi to immediately transfer another 10,000 soldiers from Army Group North to join the peacekeeping force, and immediately break the current deadlock facing the peacekeeping force. China really can't send more troops. If China sends an additional 100,000 troops, Yang Xiaolin will have the ability, but this will make Comrade Trotsky feel pressure.

Comrade Trotsky, who was also Russian, was also unwilling to abandon Siberia. Some time ago, when Yang Xiaolin provided weapons to his comrades through Stessel, he asked Stessel to tentatively ask what Comrade Trotsky's attitude would be if Siberia wanted independence.

Trotsky said quite firmly, this is impossible. He said that he could allow Siberia to have its own armament, even if Stessel helped him to fight the Japanese together. He could consider making Siberia nominally autonomous, but independence would never work. Russia would rather lose Belarus and Ukraine than give up Siberia.

Yang Xiaolin can be sure that if he drives over with more than 100,000 troops. Trotsky would have thought that China was the greatest threat to him. He didn't want his comrades to fight hard with him, and in his plan for Siberia was a trick, and sending another 10,000 people over was a perfunctory plan for the British, according to China's plan. The current forces are enough to solve the problem.

On the path outside Beijing, Yang Xiaolin walked side by side with Feng Delin on the snow, and a team of guards followed them from afar. Feng Delin is no longer wearing a military uniform, he has retired from the position of deputy commander, and is now in Gaojiatunzi.

Gaojiatunzi is China's radio base, and Feng Delin and his old brothers are presiding over the affairs there, and Yang Xiaolin has not seen them for more than half a year. If it weren't for the fact that there was something for them to do this time, they made a special trip to call Feng Delin from the northeast, and if they wanted to see each other, they couldn't estimate how long they would have to wait.

"Big brother, are you okay?"

Feng Delin nodded: "It's all right, it's just where you are in a panic, this time you sent a telegram saying that we should go to Russia to rob, and a few of them were very happy!" Seriously, I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, and I don't know if Lu Dao will be born. ”

The excitement on Feng Delin's face was undoubtedly revealed when he spoke, he was an old bandit for decades, and he couldn't restrain it when he suddenly picked it up.

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "I promised you to find a place for you to grab it happily, so naturally I won't break my promise." And this time, when you rob, I promised to let the troops watch you, kill people and set fires to you casually, but there is one thing, you can't leak your identity. ”

Feng Delin glanced at him with disdain, and then quietly leaned over: "Don't worry!" Let me tell you, when Zhang Lao Wu was doing insurance in the past, I robbed him several times, and he still doesn't know that I did it, hehe. ”

Yang Xiaolin listened, Feng Delin was the boss of the Northeast at that time, Zhang Zuolin would pretend not to know the Tao even if he knew it, what if you shook it out and asked him to Zhang Lao Wu? Now there is no need to shake it out.

Feng Delin asked again: "Xiaolin, can foreigners in Siberia be killed?" I mean, if the British, French, and American businessmen had met, wouldn't it be the same? ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded very casually: "Well, as long as you don't like it, you can kill it, I ask you to kill those who open mines!" Also, all the factories and workshops there were burned down for me. (To be continued......)
