"What a good gun, it's a pity that without bullets and accessories, it can only become a pile of scrap metal." Looking at the 1911-style machine gun produced in China in his hand, Denikin, who was already a little at the end of his rope, couldn't help but lament. The Tsarist Guard, which had been glorious for a time and had saved the Russian Army many times, could now be described as running out of oil and running out, and no one would have thought that the final collapse of Russia was due to internal problems, and some people made an agreement with the Germans for their own selfish interests, and they overthrew the government of His Majesty the Tsar, and at the cost of huge reparations and a large amount of territory in exchange for their official positions. They then gathered a group of troops to fight with the Germans against the other Russian forces that were still fighting on the front lines of the Normanov dynasty. This stab in the back was quite powerful, causing Denikin to lose at least 40% of his troops and equipment. Had it not been for the subsequent convergence with the Kolchak Ministry, which also supported the Normanov dynasty, Denikin's forces would have been a thing of the past.

For nearly a year, Denikin gathered other troops loyal to the royal family while resisting the encirclement of the Provisional Government and the Germans. However, with the cut off of supplies from China, the combat effectiveness of the Russian Guards, which relied on sophisticated equipment, was greatly reduced, and many weapons became scrap metal due to the lack of spare parts and ammunition. Denikin tried to occupy some industrial bases to equip and supply his troops, but alas, Russia's industrial towns had either become the territory of some Allied state or were under the control of the Provisional Government, and even the occasional ammunition and supplies could not meet the needs of a large army.

And when the time came to April 1917, the situation was even worse. The Huaxia Republic finally launched an attack on Russia. By now, Denikin seems to understand that the role of Huaxia in helping him train an army seems to be for today. Let Russia fight to the death, and then China will reap the benefits. But at this point, there is no way to change, even if Denikin expresses his willingness to negotiate peace with the Provisional Government, his officers and nobles will not agree, after all, the outcome of the rebels in Russian history is so clear, even if it is okay for the time being. The settlement of accounts after the autumn is also 100 percent, and he and his subordinates have only two choices, or die on the battlefield. Or die on the gallows. What's more, he and the provisional government have been fighting for quite a long time, and there is no room for maneuver between the two sides.

Denikin didn't expect Huaxia's actions to be so fast, and he would take down Omsk in a few months. Siberia, which Russia took hundreds of years to acquire, actually changed hands in a few months, and what was even more terrifying was that the other side directly destroyed its last military and material base. And that's exactly what happened. Denikin had to hand over command of the front to Kolchak. He personally led a Guards Division and a Marine Regiment assigned by Kolchak to Kurgan to block the attack of the Chinese Army. This is the last elite force in Denikin's hands, if he can win the opponent, then his army can hold out for a while, and if this force is defeated again, Denikin will not have any hole cards!

The two sides faced off in the Kurgan region, and the other side did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, on the contrary, they sent messengers to contact them. Indicate if Denikin agrees to surrender. Then the Huaxia government is willing to guarantee the personal and property safety of Denikin and his subordinates, and even for ordinary soldiers, they will be properly accommodated. Faced with the conditions proposed by the other party. Denikin believed that what the other party said was true, after all, Huaxia did not have the habit of slaughtering prisoners of war, judging from the experience of being captured last time, Huaxia could indeed do this, and more importantly, Huaxia needed manpower to develop Siberia. And from my own point of view, it seems that the current Russian resistance forces have indeed reached the point of running out of oil, there are no supplies, no soldiers, strong enemies are pressing from all sides, plus there are many mountains inside, God knows that they will defect that day!

But even so, Denikin, who claims to be a patriot, still can't accept the end of surrender, and the army he has raised for more than ten years can't just end like this! And after surrendering, how to position your identity? A Pole? A Russian eventually turned into a Chinese? Isn't that ridiculous? I've been fighting hard for so many years, and that's where I am today? Never! After rejecting the persuasion of the other party, Denikin decided to concentrate all his efforts on fighting in Kurgan once, he had inflicted heavy losses on the Germans and Austrians, and his men were also called lions of a hundred battles, and for this battle, Denikin had concentrated almost all the advanced equipment. And the Chinese army on the opposite side is not much, there are only 2 divisions that can be mobilized when they are full, and the combat strength does not exceed 30,000, and there are at least 40,000 combatable soldiers on their side, and it is still a defensive operation, so there is no reason for them to lose! Even if the final result doesn't change, you have to get a brilliant tactical victory!

Denikin deployed about two divisions plus a brigade of his troops as follows (including the previous local troops and other units that came one after another). The only armored regiment was taken as a general reserve. Two artillery regiments were deployed on both flanks of the city of Kurgan. An infantry division was placed on three lines of defense on the front. In order to prevent the enemy's artillery fire from being isolated and striking in depth, Denikin built ring fortifications in key areas, and increased the length of the defense line as much as possible, between the two defense lines, at least about 2KM apart, and with the ring fortifications, it is almost impossible for the opponent to directly penetrate the defense line and then divide the encirclement.

Although there are fewer armored troops, but Denikin thinks that this is just a slight lack of his offensive ability, and the attack is not more than enough defense, after using the defensive line, infantry and battle defense artillery to consume the opponent's armored spearhead, he will fight a beautiful counterattack, this set of tricks has been tried and tested at least on the Germans, and it should be enough to deal with Huaxia now, Denikin looked at the combat map and muttered to himself.

"I don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin." Peng Yi smiled slightly, but fortunately, he finally had an enemy worth taking seriously. The smooth sailing of several months made the officers and soldiers below overly optimistic, as if they could win by sitting on a truck. What's more, Huaxia hasn't fought a big battle for more than ten years, and it's not bad to use this whetstone to practice your hands, it is true that Peng Yi's troops are smaller than the other party, but in terms of technical quality and equipment level, it is much stronger than Denikin's patchwork troops! And Peng Yi has another trump card, that is, a group of fighters and two groups of bombers, the reason why Peng Yi did not immediately attack is actually to wait for this aviation force.

"From now on, the shape of war will change radically, and the tactics of artillery and infantry charging in the past are outdated. The war has become three-dimensional, and it is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the air force can control the land! It doesn't matter if we win or lose this war, what matters is that we will use a new way of engaging to destroy the opponent cleanly, although the principle of attacking the fortification remains the same, but the way has changed heavily, every move of the other side will be under our noses, and all the enemies who try to fight back will be under the blow of the air force, think about it, what a wonderful thing this is. At the combat meeting, Peng Yi said confidently.

What could the Air Force in World War 1 do? At a time when the tactics of dive bombing had not yet been developed, attack planes were nothing more than low-altitude horizontal bombing or simply sweeping the ground with machine guns or throwing two more grenades, and the bomb load of ordinary single-engine aircraft at that time would not exceed 250 kg, and the bomb load of large bombers would not exceed 2 tons. (This is an estimate, after all, the weight of the bomb and the fuel are sometimes interchangeable, if you have less fuel, you can change to a larger bomb.) THE BOMB LOAD OF A TWIN-ENGINE AIRCRAFT GENERALLY DOES NOT EXCEED 800KG. In fact, the role is very limited. But even so, Huaxia still did its best to collide with a variety of weapons for these planes. Everything from machine guns to machine guns and even bombs of all types is available.

For example, this fighter group, which was almost negligible to the Russian Air Force, sent a fighter group for what? When watching these little guys with a bomb load of no more than 150KG flying over slowly, Peng Yi said that he was very puzzled. The explanation given by the other party is very simple, that is, the effect of low-altitude strafing of a single-engine fighter and the lethal effect of small bombs on infantry. IN ORDER TO INCREASE GROUND FIREPOWER, SOME AIRCRAFT ARE EQUIPPED WITH 3 MORE 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS AND ARE PROTECTED BY LIGHT ARMOR NEAR THE COCKPIT, WHICH USES UP ALMOST ALL OF ITS PAYLOAD, WHILE ANOTHER BATCH OF SPARROWHAWKS ONLY RETAINS 1 MACHINE GUN, AND THE REMAINING LOAD IS REPLACED WITH ABOUT 20KG OF SMALL BOMBS TO TEST THE KILLING OF SMALL BOMBS ON GROUND TARGETS.

As for the twin-engine bomber with more things, the Shicha Falcon attack aircraft because it has two 350 horsepower engines to provide strong power, so its effective weapon load reaches 750KG, if less fuel, this number will rise, for this reason, the Huaxia Air Force is also specially equipped with rapid-fire guns for the Shicha Falcon attack aircraft, some are equipped with two rapid-fire guns weighing 30KG in the nose, firing 20 * 70MM shells, each gun has 80 rounds of ammunition. Rate of fire 300 rounds per minute. The type of target it deals with is semi-hard targets, such as simple civil fortifications. WHAT'S EVEN MORE FRUSTRATING IS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PLANES EQUIPPED WITH A 37MM CANNON IN THE NOSE POSITION! Aircraft equipped with this type of artillery are defined as accurately attacking opponents' artillery, armored vehicles, etc.

There are also many kinds of bombs, not to mention high-explosive bombs of various weights, as well as newly developed sub-munitions that can be opened in mid-air, and even napalm bombs. It has a better adhesion ability after the explosion, and the technical difficulty is the lowest. But the shooting range works pretty well!
