Soon after Germany launched the Emperor's offensive against the Entente, Huaxia finally officially declared war on the Russian Provisional Government, and the pretext for declaring war was naturally the debt of the Russian Provisional Government, which used to be paid by the United States, Britain and France, so the Russians could get a large amount of materials from Huaxia, but with the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government, friends became enemies, and the Entente naturally would not pay, but at the same time, the Russian Provisional Government withheld all the Chinese materials located in Russia in order to enhance its own strength. As for the question of how to pay, there is no mention of it, not to mention that Huaxia originally planned to move Russia, even if it did not plan to fight, such a thing would lead to the outbreak of war!

After the agreement between Germany and the Russian Provisional Government, the German Army also left nearly 100,000 combat troops in Russia, the main task of this force is to help the Russian Provisional Government clear out any resistance and consolidate the dominance of the Provisional Government. But at the same time, they did not want to fall out completely, and their help to Russia was limited to training the army, returning prisoners and some supplies. Not only did the German troops stationed in Russia not participate in the battle against China, but even the Russian troops that fought with China did not appear in German-made weapons, and when Huaxia and Germany re-agreed, Germany's return of materials and prisoners to the Russian Provisional Government also came to a standstill.

An army that has just been established and cannot even be completely suppressed by the opposition at home will naturally establish an effective defense in the face of an attack from China. From the north road. The only strong resistance Nie Shicheng encountered was an infantry division and an artillery regiment of the Russian Army near Irkutsk. This is already the largest heavy army group left by Russia in the Far East. However, in the face of more than 100,000 Chinese troops, this division-level battle group was swept away by the way before it even lasted for a day. And Nie Shicheng's remaining tasks can almost be described as sweeping along the Trans-Siberian Railway. As for the area around the railway, it was handed over to the follow-up garrison to be responsible for cleaning up, although these second-line troops were less combative. But the victory is on a huge scale, and they can completely clear the resistance along the lines of communication one by one.

For Nie Shicheng, the real challenge was not the opponent's frontal attack, because the war had reached such a distance, and the Russian army could not confront the Chinese army head-on, and the real trouble was the long geographical distance and the protection of the lines of communication. More important is the suppression of the surrounding resistance. The guerrillas are the first and last enemy that a regular army has to face! And Xu Jie, as a traverser, had already figured out a way to deal with it before the official war.

Russia can be described as vast and sparsely populated, and even more so in the Far East. A prerequisite for a guerrilla force to succeed in its operations is the support of living local civilians. And if this basic condition is lost, then there will be no soil for guerrilla warfare to grow, so all Xu Jie has to do is to gather the Russian civilians scattered all over the place, and then manage them in a unified manner. This is not a simple cage policy. It is not a restriction that can be done to get the Russians to truly stop resisting. At the same time, it is necessary to make the Russians understand that they will have a better life in China and will not be oppressed by the nobles of the past.

So after the concentration, all that remains is to give them jobs and give them higher pay. This will be a crucial period of stability, and now Huaxia does need a group of manpower to provide all kinds of materials needed by the expeditionary force, and it is too difficult to transport them to the rear, and it is most convenient to use the existing materials and equipment in the local area for processing. The final step is to mix and match indigenous people with newly arrived immigrants. Of course, this will take a long time to achieve.

Nie Shicheng walked easily this way, and Ma Yukun walked equally comfortably along the way. As for those powerful factions in Central Asia, Huaxia did not implement tough military means, but negotiated with them, as long as they can provide roads and materials needed along the way, then Huaxia can provide them with weapons and other support, you can fight whatever you like, as long as it does not affect the passage of Huaxia. Therefore, apart from the initial large-scale clashes with the local civilian armed forces in order to control the Balkesh Lake area, Ma Yukun's troops did not have too many large-scale battles to fight, and of course, small-scale battles against various horse bandits to ensure the safety of the communication lines were held every day.

The only thing that needed to be fought was Peng Yi's center, which pierced the Russian depths like a sharp blade, and after capturing Rubtsovsk, they engaged in a large-scale battle with some of Denikin's troops and local Russian troops temporarily residing in Omsk. When the Russian Civil War broke out, the Tsar's loyal Denikin training troops quickly took over the local power and continued to send troops and supplies to Denikin and Kolchak's troops who were fighting in Eastern Europe. Of course, with only supplies in and out, the stockpiling of equipment and ammunition in this area was rapidly decreasing, but even so, Denikin refused to abandon the fortress and tried to get in touch with the Entente, and then continued to cooperate with Huaxia to support the war on the front line with Huaxia's resources.

But unfortunately, the Entente side was willing to continue to help this army trained by them, but Huaxia was not willing to continue to help. The two sides turned from partners into enemies. And Denikin's rear will naturally become the key target of attack in China, and it has to be said that Denikin's troops are indeed far stronger than the average Russian army, even if they are reserve soldiers, their appearance is stronger than the Russian border guards that Nie Shicheng dealt with. However, in the face of Peng Yi's army, which had a double advantage in equipment and troops, after holding out near Omsk for less than 4 days, this Denikin's last and largest reserve force was completely wiped out, and a total of 30,000 people were wiped out.

After clearing this army, Peng Yi's battle was only the beginning, and as he got closer to the core of Russia, the resistance of the local people, especially the nobles, became more and more fierce. And as the largest royalist force in Russia, Denikin and Kolchak must not watch their rear bases be eaten away little by little. Many of the troops that had been used to fight the Russian provisional government were brought back from the front to defend against Peng Yi's attack, which slowed down due to logistical problems, and the two sides eventually faced off near Kurgan. Peng Yi needed time to consolidate his rear, and Denikin also needed to concentrate his forces to deal with the decisive battle. The only difference was that Peng Yi had a strong state to provide him with the one he needed, while Denikin's troops had lost almost all of their replenishment capabilities.
