At the end of May, the weather is clear and precipitation is very small. However, in the Siberian plain, spring and summer are very short, and after a few months, the cold winter will once again enter. Moreover, the winter time is very long.
, almost half a year!
Millions of troops from China and Russia are still fighting on the Siberian plains. The Russian army relies on cities on the border that almost built fortresses to resist the attack of the Chinese army at the beginning of the war. However, as the Chinese army gradually
Occupying these cities and eliminating the Russian troops entrenched in these cities, the Russian troops have gradually shown signs of decline and are not far from complete failure!
After more than half a month of hard fighting, the 11th Army of the Chinese Army has captured Orsk. The Russian army deployed more than 200,000 troops in Orsk, and only tens of thousands of people escaped, and the rest are either in the city.
During the battle, they were either wiped out by the Chinese army or surrendered to the Chinese army. Moreover, there were not many tens of thousands of people who retreated from Olsk who could escape back to Yekaterinburg alive. They would be chased by cavalry from the five Central Asian tribes
Kill. When these Russian troops retreated from Orsk, they had almost no heavy weapons. How could they be the opponents of the cavalry during field battles?
In addition, the Russian army advancing from Ural and Orenburg were blocked at the foot of the Ural Mountains by two infantry divisions of the 11th Army and several other infantry divisions. When these Russian troops learned about Austria, they were unable to advance.
Ersk has been occupied by the Chinese army, and the Russian army suffered heavy losses. Even Lieutenant General Yakov died in battle, they did not continue to fight, but broke away from contact with the Chinese army and turned to Russia's Europe.
Partial retreat. These Russian troops are not fools. They know that once the Chinese army draws troops from Olsk, they can't even leave!
The troops, mainly from the 11th Army of the Chinese Army, also suffered heavy losses in order to capture Orsk. Several infantry divisions below the 11th Army launched a series of attacks on the Russian army, causing heavy losses. The Chinese army alone suffered more than 30,000 casualties.
The Japanese mercenaries who cooperated with the 11th Army suffered losses of more than 70,000 people! It can be seen how tragic this battle was. Although the Russian army's equipment was backward, they were still almost built on their home court.
They still have to take a lot of advantage in fighting in the fortress cities. As the attacking side, if the Chinese army wants to defeat the Russian army, they have to pay a huge price! Fortunately, although the price is high, it is not unbearable.
!With Japanese mercenaries as cannon fodder, standing in the front and most dangerous places, the losses of the Chinese army have been relatively reduced. Otherwise, if there were no Japanese mercenaries, if they wanted to take Orsk, the Chinese army would
The loss must be doubled at least!
Three days before the 11th Army took Orsk, the army dominated by the 5th Army of the Chinese Army had already taken Petrobanovsk. Now the army is attacking Kurgan, cooperating with the 4th Army.
Army operations. The two armies, plus the affiliated infantry divisions and mercenary troops, have a total force of more than one million, and there is almost no problem in taking down Kurgan.
By May 24, the Chinese army had taken down Kurgan, and almost all the Russian troops guarding here were wiped out. Except for a small number of Russian troops surrendered, the remaining Russian troops were killed or injured in the war.
It's right.
Almost at the same time, the 10th Army also captured Magnitogelsk, and the 3rd Army also captured Ishim. Among the six important border cities of the Russian army, only Chelyabinsk was still suffering.
It supported it. However, the Russian army in Chelyabinsk had already suffered heavy losses under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops mainly from the 4th Army of the Chinese Army. With the loss of several other cities,
It’s even hard to support one’s own way, and it’s only a matter of time to be conquered!
Astana, the highest commander and Chief of Staff Marshal Cai Yun, in the Chinese Army's front-line command, is crossing the battle report sent back from the front line! The battle started on March 30, and it is still a week or a month away!
The strategic goals of the Chinese army have almost been completed. The more than 1.2 million elite troops deployed by the Russian army on the border have either been annihilated or are about to be annihilated. It now seems that the Chinese army has obtained this war.
Victory is a foregone conclusion!
"When will we be able to take Chelyabinsk?" Marshal Cai Yun asked.
"Marson, General Chen Wenjun, commander of the 1st Army, called. Within two days, they will definitely be able to take down Chelyabinsk!" A staff officer reported to Marshal Cai Yun! Obviously, he saw several other troops
All have won, and General Chen Wenjun, commander of the 1st Army, has also begun to convene. The strength of the Chinese army is not much different, and the generals of the various army are also competing. No one thinks he is worse than others.
.Of course, for the competition among various armies, whether it is the imperial emperor, King Yuze or the important military officials, they are welcomed. Of course, the premise is that this competition must be a healthy competition.
"Well! Let the 4th Army, the 10th Army and the 5th Army march towards Chelyabinsk! Capture Chelyabinsk and be prepared to march towards Yekaterinburg!" Marshal Cai Yun said. Chelyabinsk is
One of the important Siberian cities in Russia and the most important industrial base of the Russian army. It is only 200 kilometers away from Yekaterinburg, and there are railways connected to Yekaterinburg. Although these railways have been destroyed a lot, as long as they are slightly repaired, they can transport logistics resources.
That's very helpful for attacking Yekaterinburg.
The Chinese army invested a lot of troops in the Siberian Plains War, which also put huge pressure on logistics! If the Chinese army had not started storing various strategic materials in Central Asia a few years ago, it would have been impossible to support hundreds of them.
Even so, after almost one month of fierce fighting, these strategic materials were consumed. Therefore, in the battle against Yekaterinburg, Marshal Cai Yun only planned to invest in the 1st Army and the 4th Army.
The troops, mainly composed of the 5th Army and the 10th Army, cooperate with hundreds of thousands of Japanese and Korean mercenaries. The remaining troops remained on the border to prepare for the capture of Yekaterinburg and enter Europe!
Of course, the Chinese army suffered a lot of losses in the battle to capture these border cities. The Chinese army lost more than 120,000 people, while the Japanese mercenaries paid nearly 300,000 people, and the North Korean mercenaries also lost.
Nearly 150,000 people. It can be seen how much the Chinese army paid to conquer these six cities that have almost been built into fortresses! This is the result of the Chinese army with the support of aircraft and tanks. If these weapons are not available
If we want to take these cities, the Chinese army will probably have to pay a greater price! That is the real life to fill it! However, this is not what the top leaders of the Chinese military want to see. Although China has a large population, its military source is also
Many, but the life of every soldier is precious. Even if you use a hundred shells to exchange for an enemy alone, it is worth it!
At this moment, the Russian army had only more than 500,000 left in Yekaterinburg. The Chinese Army dispatched four armies and hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, which was enough to annihilate them! In addition, there were nearly ten cavalrymen of the five Central Asian tribes.
Ten thousand people, after the Russian 7th Cossack Cavalry Army was eliminated, the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes was even more vigorous, they came and went like the wind, burned, killed and looted on the Siberian plains, and almost did not rely on Chinese logistics.
It is perfectly possible to support the war!
Therefore, after the border war entered the late stage, Marshal Cai Yun had ordered these five Central Asian cavalry to gather around Yekaterinburg to move, cut off the connection between Yekaterinburg and the periphery, prevent the Russian army from obtaining supplies, and also prevent the Russian army from obtaining supplies.
Escape from here! The railway from Yekaterinburg west was blown up by the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets, and later it was destroyed by the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes. It is almost impossible for the Russian army to evacuate Yekaterinburg
!
On May 26, the 1st Army of the Chinese Army captured Chelyabinsk and began to prepare for attacking Yekaterinburg!
Yekaterinburg, the last stronghold of the Russian army on the Siberian plains, and the remaining nearly 500,000 Russian troops were all gathered here. Yekaterinburg was built in 1723 and named after the Queen Ekaterinade I, Russia.
The center of the Ural region. However, it is now under the military front of the Chinese army, and Russia's rule here is already a little shaky.
The Russian commander-in-chief Nikolai was less than 60 years old, but the war had only started for less than a month. The constant blows from the front line had made him look much older. At the beginning, he
I originally thought that several cities on the Russian border could last at least three and four months, and then in Yekaterinburg, they could last for a few months. In that case, the coldest winter on the Siberian plains would come.
The Chinese cannot bear the winter on the Siberian plains. They will be frozen to death like Napoleon II, who invaded Russia. At that time, the Russian army will have a chance to win. Even if Russia still cannot defeat China, it shows that
Russia, with its strong strength, can at least strive for a decent peace.
However, the news from the front line made Grand Duke Nikolai very desperate. The defense lines built by the Russian army were easily conquered by the Chinese army. It can be foreseen that it will not take long before the Chinese army will face Yekaterinburg
