Chapter 703: Duel (Second Update)

The maximum speed of the transport aircraft equipped by the Imperial Air Force was only 240 kilometers per hour, so that General Jiang Baili had to rush from Yanjing, the capital of the Empire, to Kustanay on the front line, and it would take two days to transfer the time.

Of course, it is already much faster than taking a car, train, etc. The Empire* military was able to be at the forefront of the world in the transportation of important personnel. Of course, the current airplane is still a means of transport with a relatively high accident rate, and generally speaking, high-ranking officers at the level of generals of the empire are strictly forbidden to take airplanes. This time, General Jiang Baili needed to rush to the front line in the shortest possible time with his staff team, so he chose to take a plane.

By the time Admiral Jiang Baili arrived in Kostanay, a series of orders had already been issued. First, the Chinese Empire indicated to the Russian Empire that it would do everything in its power to help them repel the attack of the Russian Red Army. However, the defense of Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg needed to be done by themselves. Several group armies of the Chinese Army will encircle and annihilate several group armies in the south of the Russian army and crush this offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army in one fell swoop.

The General Staff of the Reich believed that the northern and central fronts of the Soviet Russian Red Army combined were only three army groups, which were not as many as the armies of the Russian Empire. In addition, the Russian Empire is equipped with the standard weapons of the Imperial Army, which can be described as well-equipped, and it is much better than the Soviet Russian Red Army. Under such conditions, there is no reason why it cannot resist the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

Of course, just in case, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army marched from Kurgan to Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk, respectively. If the Russian Empire* army really can't hold up the wall, they will have to help them resist the attack of the Russian Red Army. Of course, if the Russian army resists the attack of the Russian Red Army, then the task of the 2nd Army will immediately become to block the way for the retreat of the Russian Red Army, so that they can no longer withdraw through the Ural Mountains to Eastern Europe. Create an opportunity for the total annihilation of the Soviet Russian Red Army of the eight armies of this attack.

If the eight armies of the Russian Red Army, which had been put on the offensive this time, could be eliminated in one fell swoop, then the Russian Red Army would suffer heavy losses as a result. The military strength of Soviet Russia will also be greatly reduced. Next, the Soviet Russian government had no other way than to actively negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire. And the Chinese Empire, in order to keep Soviet Russia to attract the attention of the Western powers, will not drive out Soviet Russia again this time.

After the 2nd Army was transferred to the north. In the hands of General Jiang Baili, there were only three army groups and two armored divisions left to fight against the five army groups and the other tank army of the Soviet Russian Red Army. The total number of troops is only 500,000. It was 300,000 fewer than the Russian Red Army. Wanting 1.5 million people to encircle and annihilate 800,000 people can be imagined. However, Admiral Jiang Baili still planned to give it a try. If you want to defeat the Russian Red Army in one fell swoop and repel their attack this time, you must find a way to swallow up all the main forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army on the southern front in one fell swoop.

On the side of the Russian Empire, the Chinese Empire decided to send troops to help them, which made the entire Russian Empire breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, in despair, I finally saw a glimmer of hope. However, for the Chinese Empire they were ordered to hold Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk alone. Others think it's hard for the strong.

"Oh God! Those red bandits were simply deadly, they dared to charge against our heavy machine gun fire, and they would not retreat even if they were beaten into a sieve. How can we resist this kind of deadly play! A Russian general complained to Kolchak.

"Yes! Do the Chinese want to use the Soviet Russian Red Army to deplete our strength? That way they will be able to take full control of us. Another general also thought viciously. These generals of the Russian army have long lost their original bloodiness at this moment. They have all been corrupted by the poor and luxurious life, and they are even more frightened by the fierce fighting style of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

"Shut up! Are you still servicemen of the Russian Empire? Do you still have a little courage? The Chinese Empire has sent troops to help us. You can't just do nothing and just sit back and enjoy it, right? If that's the case, what's the use of using you? Kolchak roared angrily. In his opinion. The reason why the Russian Empire collapsed so quickly was entirely because of these guys. Right now. They have to rely on the Chinese Empire to continue to exist, but these guys are still talking crazy, aren't they looking for their own death?

Kolchak was furious, and the generals of the Russian Imperial Army were suddenly silent.

"Now that the Chinese Empire has made a request, then we must do it. We want to let the Chinese Empire know our strength. Know that we are not waste! From now on, our forces are massing up towards Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk. I don't care what you do, you must hold Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk. Otherwise, once the city is breached by the Russian Red Army, we will all die together. Kolchak said with red eyes. The way he looks at the moment. It's like a gambler who loses red-eyed, putting all the bets on it.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." The Russian generals replied one after another. From his eyes, a long-lost confidence also rose.

Although the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army was fierce, it was not unreasonable for the Russian army, which was blindly defensive, to be able to resist the attack of the Soviet Red Army with the help of fortifications and weapons in hand. After all, no matter how strong the will to fight and no matter how fierce the Red Army of Soviet Russia is, they are also flesh and blood, and once they are hit by bullets, they will still die. Bolshevism was able to arm the ideas of the Soviet Red Army and make them fearless to death. However, it is impossible to arm their bodies, making them invulnerable.

After being cornered, the Russian army also broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness. In Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk, both resisted the attack of the Russian Red Army, creating an opportunity for the Imperial Army to completely annihilate these Russian Red Army.

Of course, the real showdown was between the three armies of the Imperial Army plus two armored divisions and the five armies of the Russian Red Army plus one tank army. The outcome of this decisive battle is related to the outcome of the war in Western Siberia as a whole. If the Russian Red Army could win, they would not only be able to occupy all of Western Siberia in one fell swoop, but also destroy the Russian Empire. They were even able to take advantage of the opportunity to advance eastward and southward to lay down a wider territory and restore the huge territory of Tsarist Russia. Of course, if the Russian Red Army loses this battle, then they will probably not be able to attack to the east for a long time to come. It is already a great blessing to be able to hold the line in front of you and block the Chinese army and Russian army in the Ural Mountains and east of the Ural River.

The troops used by the Russian Red Army this time included the main forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army. Although the size of the Russian Red Army continued to expand, the newly formed group armies could not be compared with the elite troops participating in this campaign. In addition, on the Caucasian front, the Russian Red Army was also about to face a counterattack by the Imperial Army. In the event of defeat, the Russian Red Army will probably lose more than half of its troops, which are still the main forces. In this case, the Russian Red Army would have no choice but to sue for peace.

The Russian Red Army also knew this, so the pressure on the shoulders of Frunze, who was in charge of commanding this operation, was very great. It can be said that the rise and fall of Soviet Russia lies in this war. In the event of victory, his personal prestige would reach its peak, and the ****** of entering the Bolshevik Central Committee was not delusional. Of course, if he fails, he will also be knocked off the altar, and all his past exploits will be wiped out, and he will even be sentenced to death. Soviet Russia and the Bolsheviks were very cruel to the losers.

The Russian Red Army was located in the headquarters in Ufa, and Frunze was anxiously pacing back and forth. Although, the troops of the Northern and Central Fronts fought very well, and had already broken through the Russian defenses one after another, and they were about to advance to the cities of Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk. Victory, it seems, is within reach. However, Frunze still did not let up. His eyes have been on the southern front. The troops of the Southern Front, although there were as many as five army groups and one tank army, gathered the main forces of the entire Ural Front. But this is also where Frunze worries the most. Because, their opponent is the Chinese Army. After the myth of the German Army was shattered, the Chinese Army was equivalent to the world's largest army. Since its formation, the Russian Red Army has experienced many vicious battles, and its combat effectiveness has also been greatly enhanced. However, it may still be difficult to compare with the Chinese Army.

"Is there any news of Comrade Voroshilov?" Frunze said to the guards beside him.

"Comrade Commander, for the time being there is no telegram. The last telegram sent back by Comrade Voroshilov showed that they were still attacking eastward, and they had not yet encountered the Chinese army. The guard reported.

Voroshilov was the commander of the troops of the Southern Front of the Ural Front, where he headed the main forces of the entire Ural Front.

"If there's no news, that's the best news. Let the planes of the Air Force increase reconnaissance, and the Chinese may want to attack Comrade Voroshilov at any time. Frunze ordered.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The guard nodded, and immediately went to deliver the order.

"Hopefully, this time, we can succeed. If it succeeds, Soviet Russia will soar into the sky! Frunze said secretly. For the upcoming showdown, he is both worried and looking forward to it. (To be continued.) )
