The first thousand two hundred and thirty-eight chapters of the Grand Duke surrender
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, Chelyabinsk has been occupied by the Chinese! Lieutenant General Nikita died in the battle!" the adjutant of Grand Duke Nikolai reported to Grand Duke Nikolai. Although he tried his best to show that normal look, but
The deep despair could not be concealed in his eyes! The Russian army painstakingly built the 6
All fortresses have been occupied by the Chinese, and the capture of Chelyabinsk means that the Chinese are about to launch an attack on Yekaterinburg! The six fortresses on the front line have not been able to hold on for even a month. Then, Yekaterinburg
How long can it last?
"Well! I understand, you can go out, I want to be alone!" Grand Duke Nicholas said.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" Grand Duke Nicholas' adjutant nodded, turned and left Grand Duke Nicholas' office!
Grand Duke Nicholas, named Nikolay Nikolayevich, was the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II. He had been developing in the military. After the start of the world war, he became the commander-in-chief of the Russian army! His voice
, is also a legendary sound. But this time, he knew that he had faced the biggest crisis in his life! Although he had been captured by China more than ten years ago, at that time, although Russia was defeated, its strength
There is still a chance to make a comeback. But now, Russia's national power has been basically exhausted in the world war. The two million Russian troops in the Siberian Plain are the most elite troops in the Russian army! And now
, the war in the Siberian Plain is about to decide the winner. No matter how you look at it, the Russian army has already lost! After the failure on the battlefield in the Siberian Plain, Russia is not far away from defeat!
Although Russia still has nearly three million troops in Europe, these troops are almost new troops that have just been formed. Almost all the soldiers are just farmers who have just laid down their weapons. They lack professional training, weapons and equipment, and
There is a lack of a large number of middle and lower-level officers! If such a unit is sent to the battlefield, it will almost
There is no difference between dying and dying. In fact, this is indeed the case. Among the coalition forces formed to resist the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Romania, the Russian army has been repelled repeatedly, almost completely using their lives to resist the enemy's attack!
The war has reached this point, and the Russian army has no chance of victory at all!
"Is there still hope for Russia?" Grand Duke Nicholas murmured, as if he was whispering, and as if he was asking himself. This question is not difficult to answer, and the result is very obvious. Up to now, Russia has already
There is absolutely no hope of winning!
Although the six border cities of the Russian army caused huge casualties to the Chinese army, and although Grand Duke Nicholas did not know the specific casualties, he was certain that the Chinese army spent at least six months to capture these six border cities.
There were more than 100,000 casualties. However, he didn’t know how much the real Chinese people had suffered! Those despicable and shameless Chinese were so shameless that every
During a battle, those mercenaries were used as cannon fodder. Although the Russian army killed and wounded a large number of enemies, there must not be many real Chinese! However, the Russian army paid a full one hundred dollars for this.
The price of 200,000 elite troops! Now, there are only more than 500,000 people left in the entire Siberian Plain. Grand Duke Nicholas has no confidence that he can use these more than 50 people to hold Yekaterinburg!
On the evening of May 26, the same night that Yekaterinburg fell, Grand Duke Nicholas held an emergency meeting in the conference room of the headquarters. Apart from him, there were only fourteen lieutenant generals attending the meeting, all of whom were Russian
The commander of the fourteen infantry corps in Yekaterinburg, but many of the infantry corps have suffered heavy losses and are no longer full!
"Everyone, Chelyabinsk has been captured by the Chinese. Soon the Chinese will march towards Yekaterinburg, and we have to prepare for the worst, which is to resist with the current strength of more than 500,000 troops.
Attack by millions of Chinese!" Grand Duke Nicholas said.
The generals below all had expressionless faces. However, the experienced Grand Duke Nicholas could easily see the worry or fear in the eyes of these generals, and some even showed despair in their eyes.
Expression. Grand Duke Nicholas did not blame these people. He knew that under the current circumstances, it was understandable that these generals had such worries. In fact, didn't he feel the same way in his own heart?
"So, do you have any opinions on the future war situation?" Grand Duke Nicholas asked.
All the generals looked intently and kept silent. They all knew that the current war situation was extremely bad, and the Russian army had no hope of winning. Even if Marshal Kutuzov was reborn, he might not be able to solve it.
That’s the current problem!
"General Maxim, tell me!" Seeing that no one spoke, Grand Duke Nicholas had to call his name!
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, I don't have any good ideas! Now, we can only hold on in Yekaterinburg! There are cavalry activities from the five Central Asian tribes outside the city, and our small troops will be attacked by them. We rely on Yekaterinburg's complete city defense facilities.
, we may be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive or winter comes!" Lieutenant General Maxim is the commander of the Russian 5th Infantry Corps. Now he is
Faced with such a predicament, what good solution could he have, but when Grand Duke Nicholas called him by name, he had to bite the bullet and say it. Even he himself knew that holding on to Yekaterinburg would mean waiting to die until the Chinese army attacked Yekaterinburg.
Attack, then break through Yekaterinburg, and kill them all! As for how long they can survive, it may depend on whether God will bless them!
Grand Duke Nicholas frowned, but said nothing more. Instead, he looked at Lieutenant General Boris, commander of the 6th Army next to Lieutenant General Maxim.
Lieutenant General Boris saw Grand Duke Nicholas looking at him and knew that he had to speak, so he stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese still have more than three million troops. Even if they only have
Even if we attack Yekaterinburg with half our troops, we will not be able to withstand their attack! Now, Yekaterinburg
We have been surrounded by the traitors from the five Central Asian tribes. Any supplies we get, even if we store a large amount of strategic supplies in Yekaterinburg, will not be able to withstand the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people! Therefore, I think we should immediately
Abandon Yekaterinburg and retreat westward! Cross the Ural Mountains and return to the plains of Eastern Europe!"
Grand Duke Nicholas sighed inwardly. If Yekaterinburg could be evacuated, he would have ordered a retreat long ago! The railway from Yekaterinburg to Russia has been destroyed. It is almost impossible for the Russian army to cross the Ural Mountains on foot! In addition, it is almost impossible for the Russian army to cross the Ural Mountains on foot!
, with the obstruction of those Central Asian cavalry, and China
If the Russian army wants to retreat due to the bombing of human aircraft, I am afraid that it will not be able to advance even ten kilometers a day. Once the Chinese army catches up, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will only become the targets of wanton massacre by the Chinese in the field. Regardless of whether they are Chinese
Both cavalry and armored units can easily defeat the Russian army in the field!
"Where are the others? What do you think?" Grand Duke Nicholas asked.
The other generals seemed to be divided into two groups. One side supported Lieutenant General Maxim's view and believed that Yekaterinburg should be defended. The other group supported Lieutenant General Boris's view and believed that Yekaterinburg should be abandoned and retreat westward!
In fact, these generals are not fools. They naturally know that neither of these two aspects can avoid the defeat of the Russian army. However, they themselves cannot think of any way. Since Lieutenant General Maxim and Lieutenant General Boris are in the lead.
Birds, then they naturally won’t go looking for death on their own!
After seeing this situation, Grand Duke Nicholas had no choice but to declare the meeting to be adjourned. The generals left the meeting room with relief this time. Grand Duke Nicholas knew that the best way these generals were thinking was probably to simply ask the Chinese
Surrendered! Anyway, Russia has lost now, so it is better to surrender directly to the Chinese. In this case, there may be a chance of survival. However, no one dares to say it first. For fear of offending Grand Duke Nicholas, and thus suffering unreasonable disasters
!
On June 2, the Chinese Army's 1st Group Army, 4th Group Army, 5th Group Army and 10th Group Army, together with 400,000 Japanese mercenaries and 100,000 North Korean mercenaries, arrived at Yekaterinburg. A total of more than 1.2 million troops, will
The entire Yekaterinburg was surrounded. On the outside were nearly 100,000 cavalry from the five Central Asian ethnic groups. They were scattered around Yekaterinburg to prevent the Russian army from escaping through the Chinese army's defense line!
On June 3, the Chinese army's attack on Yekaterinburg began. The Chinese army assembled nearly two thousand heavy artillery pieces to fire on Yekaterinburg. At the same time, the Air Force also dispatched hundreds of fighter planes to drop bombs on Yekaterinburg.
Although the defensive strength of Yekaterinburg is also very abnormal, various defense fortifications suffered heavy losses under the indiscriminate bombing. Coupled with being surrounded, the morale of the Russian army dropped very quickly!
After the shelling and bombing, the Chinese army dispatched nearly 500 tanks and armored vehicles to cover the infantry and launched an attack on Yekaterinburg. In less than half a day, the defenses outside Yekaterinburg were cleared. In the afternoon of the same day, the Chinese army invaded Yekaterinburg!
The Russian army lacked the weapons to counter the armored forces and was retreating steadily under the attacks of the Chinese armored forces.
On June 5, seeing that the defeat of the Russian army was imminent, the Russian commander-in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholas, sent another telegram to Moscow and ordered the Russian army in Yekaterinburg to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese army! Since defeat was inevitable, then
There is no need to let the soldiers die! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
