In early spring of 2020, the First Group of the Republic Army, with Jiang Chengyue as commander, the First, Fifteenth, and the 36th Division and the First and Third Cavalry Division were temporarily organized after more than a month of trekking, and they were taken from the Mongolian-Xinjiang Highway.
Arriving at Dihua, the capital of Xinjiang Province. After a brief rest, the 120,000 army of the West Road Army went west to Yili, and then marched along the Ili River Valley to the Balkhash Lake District. After clearing the Russian forces in this area, the area was lost to five.
More than ten years of territory has been re-introduced into the Chinese territory.
In Omsk, where the remaining snow has not yet melted, there has been a quarrel within the Siberian Provisional Government.
"We should immediately file a solemn protest against the Chinese. Without our permission, the Republican Army crossed the border and entered Central Asia without authorization. This is an act of invasion of the Greater Russia's Red Lyrics."
Slap the table and put pressure on the members of the interim government.
"Central Asia and Siberia are the pride of the Russians. Although they are helping us now, we must not lose our dignity and let those traitors do whatever they want!" Kuropat, the governor of the grassland who had just fled from Central Asia to Omsk, had just fled from Central Asia to Omsk.
Kim was also yelling to take back power from Central Asia.
"Gentlemen, do you think we can leave the Chinese now?" said Kovotov, Minister of Finance of the Interim Government. "The Chinese enter Central Asia based on the Galakhan Declaration announced by the Bolsheviks in the ruling side of Petersburg.
In the first article of this declaration, the red demons claimed to abandon all territories occupied by China during the Imperial Russia period. Although this political declaration has no legal effect, if we oppose it, we can only push the Chinese to the Bolsheviks.
People's side."
The Prime Minister of the Provisional Government Tolev smoked and slapped the table to interrupt the quarrel between his officials and generals, "Okay, if you want to survive, shut up first! Think about the fate of the poor Tsar family,
Think about the nobles and raped women who were killed by the Red Bandits. If everyone doesn't want their families to be like them, they can only accept this result. It is the damn Bolsheviks who betrayed Russia, not us! Now the Red Bandits
We have all reached the Tobor River, so we should first think about how to preserve the lives of our families and the faith of the Orthodox Church!”
No one talks anymore, life is gone, what's the use of land?
In this history, the new Soviet regime faced much more severe situations than another world.
At the end of April 1920, outside Kurgan City, it was raining lightly in the sky at a spring night.
This is a swamp covered with lush timbers. Through both sides of the swamp, there are endless trenches that look like they are stretching. In front of the trenches are barbed wire, and the trenches are soaked in the cold melting snow into mud.
, behind the bunker made of sacks, the dark muzzle occasionally reveals a cold luster.
About three kilometers away from the front line, there were several rammed earth houses. A young officer stood outside the door and stomped his feet on the ground a few times, sticking to the leather boots with a piece of black soil and hay.
The piece fell to the ground. Only then did he push open the door made of birch boards and enter the house.
"How is the situation in front?" Inside the house is a table made of red basswood, with simple wooden beds made of fir boards on both sides. There is a military map spread out on the table, and a horse lantern is placed on the side, which emits dimly radiated from the inside.
Light. When the young officer came in, Yuan Ying, who was sitting on the wooden bed and looking at the map, asked.
"It's normal. It seems that the Russians have no movement for the time being!" The young officer took off his military cap, which was wet from the rain, hung it on the nails beside the door, and said while taking off his military coat, "It's still in the house."
Warm, do you still have a cigarette? Let me give you one.”
"It's been a long time ago. Do you want Moheyan you got from the herdsmen?" Yuan Ying, sitting on the wooden bed, raised her hand and rolled out the "cannon barrel" made of newspapers.
"Forget it, that thing is too choking." Tan Minghai squatted to the small stove in the house where water was boiling, added two pieces of wood to the stove, and fiddled with the fire and said, "I heard that the third, the Ninth Army has already come from Siberia.
The railway arrived in Omsk, are we going to change our defense?”
"Maybe, we have guarded the Tobor River for the White Guard for a winter, and it's time to rest in the back." Yuan Ying said, "I heard that the highest level means that the White Army will establish a capital city with Omsk.
The Siberian Republic will also drive the Red Russian troops to the west of the Ural Mountains. If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest."
"Maybe, a few days ago, I heard from several people from the 36th Division on the South Defense Line that a survey team came to China, saying that it was preparing to build a railway from Kustanai to Yining, which would lead directly to the country. It seems that it is really not
I plan to let us withdraw again." Tan Minghai yawned, "Many people can't understand that the country has not yet stabilized, so why would the superiors send us to this place to fight for the Russians."
"Maybe there is any intention, but it doesn't matter. We just need to obey the order. China is recruiting migrant workers on a large scale, saying that it is necessary to form a production and construction corps in Xinjiang and Mongolia. The problem of food shortage will be greatly improved by then
At least after the railway is built, we will not be out of smoke." Feng Guocai smiled and said, "Go to bed early, maybe something will happen tomorrow."
Yuan Ying really got it right.
In May 1920, with the cooperation of 370,000 Chinese Volunteer Army, the 300,000 Siberian White Army led by Sakharov and Geeda launched an attack on the Red Army, and the Battle of Tobor began.
After a winter of supplementation, the Red Army on the Eastern Front was greatly supplemented. Fu Longzhi, who were fighting in the Caucasus region, and the First Soviet Red Army Group Army were transferred to the Eastern Front to strengthen its strength. The total strength of the Red Army's Eastern Front was as high as 300,000.
People, Trosky, chairman of the Soviet Military Commission, personally visited the Eastern Front, Vates once again served as commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, Shaolin was the commander-in-chief of the Northern Cluster, with the 2nd and 3rd Army under his jurisdiction, and on the southern front, Alderge
Luo was removed from his post and Fu Longzhi was appointed commander-in-chief of the Southern Cluster, under his jurisdiction, the 1st, 4th, 5th and Turkestan Army.
Most of the Chinese volunteer army composed of laborers gradually grew up in fighting against the Red Russian army. Without any retreat, although there was a lack of training and extremely poor military technology and tactical literacy, he still faced Russia with his advantage in numbers.
The war process played an immeasurable role.
"These Chinese volunteer corps composed of labor may be the best soldiers in the world. They obey orders, are willing to endure hardships, and never complain to their superiors. The Chinese are brave in fighting and have strong mobility, walking 70-80 kilometers a day but slim down a slight slim walk
No complaints. However, their training was very poor. Many soldiers did not understand the parabolic trajectory of ballistic flight at all. They did not understand the relationship between the ruler and the star. The bullets fired always flew straight to the target, and then halfway through
When they fell to the ground, the shooting hit rate was pitifully low. When they had to, the officers had to order them to adjust the ruler to 200 yards, and only allowed the shooting after hearing the officer's order." General Geeda commented in his memoir
Chinese soldiers.
On June 8, the White Guards launched a full-scale attack on the Red Army positions on the Tobor River. However, the Czech Legion and the Chinese Volunteer Legion, which were originally defending the Yekaterinburg-Ural line, marched south from Yekaterinburg to Chelyabinsk.
The attack was launched, intending to cut off the retreat of the Red Army's Southern Front and encircle and annihilate the Red Army's southern heavy army group on the Tobor line.
Tukhachevsky keenly realized the attempt of the White Army, decisively gave up the position on the Tobor River line, and led the 5th Army to strengthen the defense of Chelyabinsk to ensure that the southern group's rear route was not cut off.
.
"Bang, bang! Crack!"
The military trains were loaded with Red Army soldiers on the front line, and were continuously transferred from Ufa to Chelyabinsk. They stopped in an unknown forest clearing. The tin carriages were dark and those wearing gray military uniforms.
The Red Guards, a worker with a red cloth strip, woke up from their sleepiness.
"Click! Wow..." The wire tied to the car door was broken with steel pliers, and the car door was pulled open by several soldiers.
There were bursts of explosions coming from afar.
"Quick, line up to get the weapons behind!" The commander standing next to the carriage door kept urging these at a loss of time. Most of the people among them were obviously workers who had just recruited from the factory and had never suffered anything
Military training.
"Comrades, for the new Soviet regime, the free Soviet regime is facing a critical moment of life and death. Take your weapons and eliminate the invading imperialist bandits and their loyal lackeys, Tolev bandits! For our greatness
The motherland, go and fight bravely against the enemy and fundamentally eliminate them!" The political commissars held the loudspeaker in their hands and kept mobilizing these new soldiers.
Tukhachevsky, commander of the 5th Army of the Red Army, stood on the bell tower of a small station about 6 miles away from Chelyabinsk, staring at the battlefield in front of him in a telescope. More than ten days of battle have allowed Chelya to
There is almost no complete building in Binsk, a beautiful city on the Ural Mountain side.
The Battle of Chelyabinsk was extremely difficult. The 5th Army, which had less than 40,000 people, guarded this important fortress city extremely tenaciously, withstood the fierce attack of the White Guards, whose troops were three times that of their own.
Now three-quarters of the city have been occupied by the White Army. The brave soldiers under him are resisting tenaciously on the streets. More than 30,000 reinforcements collected from Moscow, Ufa, and Izhevsk have been successively recruited.
He was involved in the city's defense battle, but the reinforcements were far less than that fast. At present, the troops he could control were less than 30,000. In other words, in the week's defense battle, the Red Army had suffered as many as four casualties.
Ten thousand.
The White Army may have more casualties than the Red Army, and the defensive side in the city offensive and defensive battles will eventually take advantage.
Tukhachevsky's decisive action broke the attempt of the Baiwei Army to encircle Fulongzhi's southern group in the Tobor River District. More than 70,000 Red Army blocked the White Army in the car after suffering heavy casualties.
The front line of the Leyabinsk won time for the withdrawal of the Fulongzhi Group.
But Tukhachevsky was under great pressure from Moscow. Zinoviev, Kalinin and Stalin accused him of the collapse of the Tobor River defense line and demanded that the Supreme Military Commission be revoked.
All his duties, "sending this coward to the military court." But Fu Longzhi tried his best to defend him. The old Bolshevik pointed out in a telegram to the Central Committee: "It is precisely because of Comrade Tukhachevsky's keenness.
The White Bandit Army was aware of the attempts of the White Bandit Army, acted decisively, and stubbornly blocked the enemy's advance on the front line of Chelyabinsk, which ensured that the Southern Group was escaped from the encircled danger. It was precisely because of Comrade Tukhachevsky
He used his superb military talents to save the precious lives of the 150,000 brave Red Army soldiers on the Eastern Front!" Due to Fu Longzhi's maintenance, Tukhachevsky was spared from punishment.
Chelyabinsk has become a huge meat grinder.
Soviet soldiers holding red flags, White Guards holding Panslav white, blue and red flags, and Chinese mercenaries fighting desperately for every broken building. There were dead bodies among the ruins, and the land and rubble were flowing.
The blood was dyed black and red.
But the cruel battle continued, and it seemed that there would never be an end.
