Six-Four-Eight Railway

The afternoon West Siberian sun finally made Grove, who was dragging a piece of brown carrion towards the camp, finally feel a little warm. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

In his hand is a war horse that was frozen to death and buried by heavy snow, and reappeared after the snow melted, but it was probably patronized by wild wolves, so only half of the horse was seen.

Since it had been frozen for too long, the flesh was basically rotten, and no one would have eaten it before, but now when he dragged the found horse back to the camp, there were countless sounds of saliva.

Almost without his orders, the small camp of several hundred people immediately became busy, the cauldron was set up with a stand, and the wet firewood was lit and emitted choking black smoke, which no one dared to do before because it would attract Chinese planes, but now everyone can't take care of it, in fact, many people are ready to be captured, and even wait for the Chinese to come over as early as rumors and immediately lay down their weapons, because being a prisoner is better than eating these stinky meat.

After a while, the snow began to churn, and after a few simple clean-ups, the soldiers threw the horses into the cauldron, and then sat around, smelling a somewhat foul smell and dripping saliva.

Grove sat beside him and watched everyone, for he thought that he was different from these serf soldiers who were called gray cattle by the nobles, because he came from a small noble family in Moscow, but after this harsh winter, he had been completely numb to watch his troops drop from a thousand to less than three hundred.

When the Tomsk fortress was cut off, many people thought that His Majesty Nicholas II, affectionately called "Little Father" by the Russians, would immediately send a large army to rescue them, but after waiting for a winter, it became clear that they had actually been abandoned.

Russia is not afraid of shells, it is not afraid of planes, but it is afraid of being abandoned!

So during this time he had heard a lot of news, radical soldiers saying that as soon as they returned to the country, they would immediately overthrow Nicholas II and end this damned war, and others said that there were already riots in the country and so on.

He didn't know if it was true or not, only that now he just wanted to end it all, even if it was a shell.

A soldier from Kyiv turned out a little spice from there, and the smell in the cauldron suddenly smelled much better, and when the water boiled again, the soldiers couldn't wait to rush over.

Grove got a bowl, but the thought of the disgusting scene he had had when he had dug it out of the snow was hard to swallow, but his stomach betrayed him, and as he picked up the bowl and was about to close his eyes and drink it, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Several Chinese planes appeared in the distance, and the soldiers were frightened and hid in bunkers, and in the confusion, even the cauldron was accidentally knocked over, and the soup was spilled on the ground.

Grove put down the bowl and stood up straight to the astonished eyes of the soldiers, as if he was deliberately targeting the other side, hoping to drop a bomb to bring him back to heaven.

What made Grove vomit blood was that the planes flying overhead didn't seem to see him at all, and continued to fly west along the railway line not far away.

Sitting in the army version of the Hummingbird long-range reconnaissance plane, Zhan Tianyou actually saw the Russian second lieutenant isolated on the snowdrift, but the telescope only swept over him for less than a few tenths of a second, and was moved to the heavily damaged Siberian railway line.

"Zhan Gong, look."

The assistant's finger pointed to a railway line about a kilometer long that had even destroyed the roadbed, which made Zhan Tianyou immediately frown, and as the plane continued to fly along the railway line, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, he knew very well that the war was fought by logistics, Australia and the Arabian Peninsula could rely on shipping, but if the northwest wanted to win, it must rely on the railway, and the troops and materials could not be transported without the railway line, so this artery that ran through the entire Siberia became the emperor's heart disease.

As the assistant kept pressing the door, recording the location and extent of the damage to the railway line, Zhan Tianyou had already begun to shake his head and sigh, now that he has flown less than 200 kilometers, he can basically not see the complete section of more than 30 kilometers, God knows what the scene will be if he continues to fly over, although it is not yet certain, but many years of experience tell him that it is already more difficult to repair this railway quickly.

The reconnaissance plane, under the protection of the four wild horses, continued to fly westward, although there were many problems along the way, but Zhan Tianyou still observed every detail very carefully, and sometimes asked the pilot to circle twice to see clearly, just as he had just finished looking at a railway bridge over a river, he suddenly felt that the plane rushed up.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Tianyou and his assistant were taken aback, and as soon as they asked, their ears were suddenly filled with fierce explosions and roars.

"Zhan Gong, look!"

The young assistant held up the binoculars and quickly found the direction of the explosion, only to see a huge fortress in the distance, explosions and fires constantly rising, dense Russian soldiers were storming the fortress, but no matter how hard they tried to fight to death, the machine guns and artillery on the fortress would knock them back.

The assistant, who saw the real war scene for the first time, was so excited that his face turned red, and he raised his camera to shoot, but was stopped by Zhan Tianyou: "Don't làn Fei film, we still have big things." ”

He put down the camera happily, feeling a little regretful, and he believed that if he could take this photo and bring it back, it would definitely cause a sensation.

But he forgot about it and shouted excitedly again, because he saw that nearly a hundred tanks and armored vehicles suddenly rushed out of the fire-breathing fortress, and these iron guys rushed towards the Russian army like monsters, whether it was artillery or machine guns, all the enemies in front of them were melted and disintegrated like ice and snow in the sun, and the Russian soldiers who were still not afraid of death suddenly retreated like wolves rushing and scattered in all directions.

Contrary to the excitement of his assistants, although Zhan Tianyou also applauded the soldiers in his heart, the previous scene told him that if he could not find a way to quickly repair the railway to transfer materials, then Tomsk would be the far point that the current army could reach.

"Zhan Gong, the Tomsk fortress can land, do you want to rest for a while?" The pilot asked, turning his head.

"Can you still fly?"

"Yes, but the fighter jets are going to land and refuel, so we can add some more."

Tianyou looked at the sky, although he was very anxious to know the situation of the key railway line from Tomsk Fortress to Omsk, but after all, the plane had to be refueled, and the pilot also had to rest, so he nodded and said: "Then let's rest here tonight and continue to the west tomorrow." ”

"According to Zhan Tianyou, the damage to this section from Minusinsk to Tomsk is serious, of which 2 percent of the roadbed has been dug up, although the rest can still be repaired, but the rail is seriously missing, and our rail is different from the Russian system, so it must be all re-laid, according to his preliminary estimate, only this section wants to be repaired at least 6 months, if there is sufficient manpower, it may be shortened, but 3 months is difficult!" When Chen Ping pointed to the map and introduced it to Li Mo and Tang Shaoyi, his face was not good-looking.

"There is no problem with manpower, you can use Russian prisoners, if it really doesn't work, I will send two more construction corps over, and now the question is how much he can increase the speed!" Tang Shaoyi asked.

"He hasn't said this yet, but what about the resources? The relaying of 500 kilometers of railways requires a large amount of materials. Zhao Long asked.

"We can temporarily stop the construction of several domestic railway lines, and transport all the sleepers and rails we currently have, and the production capacity of the steel plant in Xinjiang has also come up, if it is not possible, we will directly dismantle the unimportant railway!" Huang Chen gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing that everyone was discussing the repair plan, Li Mo frowned and continued to ask: "What about the back of Tomsk?" ”

According to Zhan Tianyou, these three breakpoints are not a big problem, as long as there are suitable tools and materials, plus skilled workers, it can be repaired in more than half a month.

However, if we attack Omsk, then the Russian army in Ufa will definitely receive the news, and then the railway line from Omsk to Ufa will be destroyed. Chen Ping continued: "And the Russian railway is different from ours, if you want to use it, you must first build a transfer station in Tomsk, and now we have a total of 21 trains in line with the Russian rails, which is enough, but the section from Minusinsk to Tomsk is not opened and there is no way to pass." ”

"How's that for good?" Rong Kui slapped his face and sighed: "If this section of the railway is not repaired within three months, the materials will not be able to be transported, and it will be a bubble if it hits Ufa, so even if Nicholas II can be ousted from power, I am afraid that there will be no way to get the whole of Western Siberia!" ”

Rong Kui's words aroused everyone's approval, the core of the Qiming plan is to oust Nicholas II from power and force Russia to withdraw from the war, so after the completion of all military operations against Russia must be stopped no matter what, if it is completed, it will continue to fight, then no matter who comes to power, it will continue to join the Entente side without being able to give an account to the country.

That is to say, within three months, China can occupy as much as it wants, and it will not be able to occupy even an inch in three months, and it may even be necessary to give up some of the conditions in exchange for Russia's withdrawal, after all, the Russian government will not be willing to be occupied by more than 60% of the country's territory.

Li Mo also knew that this was a tricky problem, and after thinking about it, he immediately asked, "How many trucks can we mobilize now?" ”

"I don't have an exact number, but at present I have three transport regiments in my hands, plus the temporary transfer from the troops, or if all the stocks of each factory are transferred over, it should be no problem to organize 5,000 vehicles." Chen Ping immediately understood what Li Mo meant, and calculated: "According to the calculation that a truck carries 2 tons of goods, it takes 4 days to return a total of 1,200 kilometers, and then deducts 3% of the loss, as long as two supply stations are built along the railway line from Minusinsk to Tomsk Fortress, at least 100,000 tons of materials can be transported in a month and a half!" ”

"Now there are five captured Russian trains in the Tomsk fortress, and Zhan Tianyou said after checking that they can basically be used, as long as the manpower and tools for repair can be transported over first, then the method of advancing the side repair can be adopted, and Omsk can be opened within half a month.

From the current point of view, the Russian army did not expect that we would suddenly take Tomsk, coupled with the heavy snow in the later period, the road was closed by heavy snow, and there were only more than 30,000 troops here in Omsk, so I suggested that the cavalry should be sent to raid Omsk, and strive to take it before they send the news, and repair the railway as soon as possible. Zhao Long's fingers pressed Ufa.

"You mean, surprise attack on Ufa!" Li Mo's eyebrows furrowed suddenly.
