On the vast plains of Central Asia, the Chinese army blew mercilessly like a violent wind, and wherever it passed, the ruling order of Russia was completely destroyed. Central Asia has always been not a region ruled by Russia, and its race, religion, ethnicity, culture, and customs are all different from those of Tsarist Russia.

The only thing the Russians had to maintain their rule over the region was a strong force, and in the event of a Russian defeat, various independent tendencies were revealed. In particular, wherever the Chinese army passed, they released the criminals held by the Russians, and at the same time issued pardons for bandits and bandits, encouraging them to undermine the foundations of Russian rule.

Moreover, the command of the former enemy of China also issued a commendation order, all those who killed and captured Russian soldiers, officials, immigrants could go to the location of the Chinese army to receive a reward, depending on the level and number of captured, you can receive a reward of 100 to 1,000 yuan, and important people can reach 10,000 yuan.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the people of Central Asia are fierce, and they are dissatisfied with Russia, after seeing China's bounty. At first, they were relatively timid, and only dared to attack some immigrants and lone soldiers.

When they sent people to the Chinese barracks, they immediately got a bounty, which was not bad at all, and the Chinese side also registered them, and everyone was a little point, and once they had enough points, they could exchange them for all kinds of things.

Firearms and ammunition, food, clothing, horses, medicines...... There are all kinds of them, and you can get them as long as you need them. Moreover, if you capture or kill more than ten people, you can be promoted to an officer, and you can even become a nobleman.

Some religious elders will also come forward and reward them in various ways. Except for China, a strange place that shuffles every 300 years, all other regions in the world have aristocratic traditions, and bloodlines occupy an important position in society. For the people at the bottom. There aren't many opportunities to change your fate.

But now the people of Central Asia are facing a godsend, as long as you kill Russians, you can become an official, you can become a noble, the more you kill, the greater the reward you get. The eyes of these people turned red in an instant, and countless armed squads suddenly appeared, using all kinds of weapons and using various methods, to attack the Russian immigrants. Capture the fleeing Russian army, and then exchange money and officials in the hands of the Chinese.

China is also very polite to these people, the money is not bad at all, and sometimes it will give more. When these people use some fake human heads to blend in, they don't break it. Instead, give money as usual. Make these people laugh at the stupidity of the Chinese.

"In these years, there are always some people who think they are smart, but they don't know that being smart will suffer a big loss!" Deng Xihou, who was in charge of counting his head, couldn't help sighing.

This clever crystal monkey also saw the meaning of the Supreme Command, and encouraged these people to come forward, ostensibly to weaken the Russian Liliang, but in fact it had a more far-reaching purpose.

It is clear that China has ambitions for Central Asia, and the war is over. Definitely have to take a large piece back, and the various local shili become an eyesore. is the so-called no chaos and no governance, chaos and great governance, Zhang Tinglan fought this idea. First of all, these people from Central Asia were used to clear the Shili of the Russians.

For these people, once they are accustomed to looting for a living, they will not be willing to work as honest laborers, so there is an excuse for the Chinese army to clean them up again.

Deng Xihou held the score book and sneered: "Now this is the score book, and after a while, it will be the book of life and death. ”

"Sir, when we were counting the heads, we found several Han heads."

"Bastard!" Deng Xihou suddenly stood up when he heard this, he could allow these people to use Central Asian natives to fill the numbers, but he definitely could not allow his countrymen to be killed.

"Whoever sends the heads, immediately send troops, exterminate them all, don't let one go, and pass on the order to others, anyone who is faint and dares to kill the Chinese, who dares to harass the lines of communication, will be killed!"

At the moment of the order, the soldiers of a company immediately moved into action, and they caught up with the Central Asian bandits who had just left, more than a hundred people, and in less than half an hour, they were all reimbursed.

And they also cut off all their heads and hung them on the flagpole, setting an example for other bandits, and those who dare to fight the Chinese will definitely not end well.

With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, these Central Asian bandits obediently became pawns in the hands of the Chinese, and for the Russians, this is an absolute nightmare.

Trotsky, in particular, received more and more unfortunate news, Kleku was lost, the logistics line was constantly disturbed by bandits, and the main forces of the Chinese army were soon killed.

In the face of this situation, how to keep it, Trotsky kept asking himself, as the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, even if he has any ideas, in the face of this situation, he can only ask for help like Moscow.

Not long after Trotsky sent the telegram, Zhang Henian's troops had already been killed, and on the field, the tank troops were like a rolling torrent towards Astana.

In addition, Zhou Zijian also launched an offensive against Karaganda, and in the past few days, his forces have also been strengthened, and a cavalry division led by Ma Zhanshan has rushed over.

This is also the main force of a large number of cavalry in the Chinese army, and the other cavalry units are placed in auxiliary positions.

"Division Commander Ma, this attack on Karaganda, the armored forces are the main force, you take the cavalry, make a detour to the rear, cut off the retreat of the Russians, and be sure to annihilate the defenders in one fell swoop."

"Okay, that's it!"

After the task was assigned, the offensive began, and after the first attack failed, the soldiers were reflecting on their mistakes, especially Huang Xiansheng, who repeatedly deduced and did not let go of every detail.

This time the attack was launched again, and the previous ones were fully prepared, and then the artillery fire continued to extend, and the tank crews rushed towards the Russians quickly with the coordination of the infantry.

This time, the firepower is perfectly coordinated, and there is no hole to exploit. No matter how desperate the Russian soldiers were. But to no avail, they were unceremoniously killed, and the attack of the armored forces did not seem to be able to stop any liliang.

The Russians' tanks were also sent, and the T26 rushed over quickly, and they rushed forward with their lives regardless of their sacrifices. Finally entered the firing distance and shot out.

Hit! The Russians couldn't help cheering, but they were only half happy, and the Chinese tanks rushed out of the smoke unharmed, and the 37-mm main guns could not help the Chinese tanks at all.

On the contrary, after the Russian tank was hit by the 76 main gun, no matter what part, as long as it received a shell, it instantly collapsed, and even directly turned into scrap metal.

Watching the tanks on which their side had high hopes being named one by one. The morale of the Russians was also badly damaged. And at this time, the Chinese army also dropped a large number of leaflets, telling them that Kreku had lost and that they had no way to escape.

Other leaflets also said that Trotsky had surrendered, surrendered his guns and returned home. Resist to the end and sit through the prison!

Finally under multiple blows. The Russians began to retreat. One fled, there was a second, and soon the retreat turned into a rout, and the Russian army in Karaganda fled frantically.

At this time, Ma Zhanshan, who had been preparing for a long time, was finally able to show his skills, with a large number of tanks and equipment, the proud cavalry of the past. It has become increasingly marginalized. However, Ma Zhanshan still held on to the glory of the cavalry, jumped on their horses and whipped their whips, and quickly rushed towards the Russians.

The unsuspecting rout was strangled by the cavalry. It's like a flock of lambs, and it's extremely fragile. Far away with submachine guns, carbines, pistols, constantly harvesting lives. rushed to the front, and simply took out the saber, and the snowy saber was like chopping melons and vegetables.

Everyone was happy, and Ma Zhanshan, the division commander, also rushed to the forefront, the cold long knife slashed through the body, and the fishy liquid splashed out. Stimulating the sense of smell and nerves, the soldiers were killing frantically, and when they were killed, they couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl.

Everywhere the horse's hooves trodden on, there were all stumps and broken legs, and everywhere was a mess. More than two-thirds of the Russian army that retreated from Karaganda was killed in this way.

After Zhou Zijian successfully seized Karaganda, he did not stop, and immediately killed Astana with Ma Zhanshan, which was already a stronghold in Central Asia, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

Before their arrival, Zhang Henian had already commanded his troops and launched an attack on the defending Russian army. The two sides were locked in a bloody battle from the very beginning. I have to admit that Trotsky's ability, although he was in an extremely disadvantageous situation, nevertheless inspired the courage of the soldiers.

These Russians are frantically killing the Chinese army as if they were not going to die, and in the face of the Chinese side that already has experience in dealing with it, no matter how desperate the Russians are, they can't change the huge gap in equipment.

China's air-ground cooperation, infantry and artillery coordination, has reached the point of perfection, and all arms of the armed forces are like a machine, operating perfectly and perfectly excavating their combat effectiveness.

In fact, after this period of experience, the Chinese army is also maturing rapidly, especially in the field of blitzkrieg, after all, actual combat is the most haode teacher. Only from the battle can we find out the problems and sum up the experience. At this time, the Chinese army will no longer make the mistake of advancing and retreating, and delay the fighter plane.

After more than two days of fighting, all the fortifications on the outskirts of Astana were cleared, and only the Russian troops in the city were still resisting to the death.

At this time, Zhou Zijian led the army to rush over, the two sides combined, the main force of the Guards Division finally gathered, after a battle, there were losses, there were failures, and the remaining tanks of the entire Guards Division were only about 180. However, after the experience of fighting, these troops are more skilled than they were in the initial use of tactics.

In addition, a light armored division, a rapid infantry division, and Ma Zhanshan's cavalry division were added, gathering the main essence of more than 50,000 Chinese troops on the outskirts of Astana.

Everyone is gearing up and eager. Everyone gathered in front of the sand table and discussed the general attack. Rong Zhen took the lead and said: "At present, there are about 20,000 regular troops in the city of Astana, as well as more than 10,000 militiamen, and there are also a large number of armed expatriates. Street fighting has always been our weak point, and once the Russians are desperate, our losses will not be too small. ”

"As the so-called siege of three is missing one, let's not blindly attack, leave some way for the Russians to live, and they won't look for death." Ma Zhanshan couldn't help but say.

Zhang Henian shook his head: "These Russian soldiers are quite tenacious, especially their commander, I heard that he is still the founder of the Russian army, his prestige is very high, and the means of managing the troops are also very good, I am afraid that he will not admit defeat easily." ”

Zhou Zijian frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Since the other party is the founder of the army, it stands to reason that the power in his hands is amazing, how could he run to the front line to fight, isn't this a joke?" Just like our president, how can he sit in the rear. ”

When Rong Zhen heard this, he hurriedly said: "I heard that there is a fierce internal struggle in Russia, and it is Stalin who is now in power, and Trotsky has been squeezed out, so he ran to the front. ”

When Zhang Henian heard this, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but say: "Chief of Staff, since Russia is not in harmony internally, do you think we can use it?" ”

……

"Comrade Director, this is the Chinese radio contact that we intercepted."

Kordorov took the telegram, and when he saw the words on it, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and report to Comrade Stalin, Trotsky has defected." ”

Soon Stalin obtained a telegram through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on which was an ordinary telegram from the Chinese side, to the effect that the soldiers of a certain battalion were ready to receive Astana, and that the big men in the city were willing to hold peace talks.

Seeing this, Stalin also frowned a little, he was not a fool, but he found that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All these years he had not thought about getting rid of Trotsky, but this guy's prestige and reputation were too great to easily move to him.

But if Trotsky could be labelled treason, it would have been easy to do. As for the Chinese side, although it will take advantage of the opportunity, the Swiss side has already revealed the news that China is willing to hold peace talks.

At this moment, Stalin had already made up his mind, and he immediately ordered Voroshilov, who was on his way to aid Astana, to stand by.

"Comrades, I firmly believe in Comrade Lotsky, a brave and loyal fighter, but the situation at the front makes us have to worry that there are traitors within the army, and at the top, and we must first find out the problematic elements, otherwise we will put other friendly troops in danger......"

Stalin was making a note of his actions, but the Chinese army had already taken advantage of this time to enter Astana, and Trotsky had reached the most dangerous time.

"Soul is faint, this despicable fellow is not worthy of being a revolutionary at all!" When Trotsky learned that reinforcements were delayed, he guessed that Stalin must have done something, and he was furious, but he was helpless. (To be continued......)
