Chapter 444: The plan to set the world in a battle
In the early morning of April 23, gunfire in the Ulan-Ude area had all subsided, and the Ulan-Ude battle between China and Russia ended. It took only one week from the beginning to the end. This was not only
The Russian side was unbelievable, and it was greatly beyond the expectations of China. Before the battle began, Grand Duke Nicholas made a bold attempt to hold on to Ulan-Ude for more than three months, delaying it.
The combined naval fleet of Britain, France and Russia launched an expedition to China and reversed the situation of the war. However, unexpectedly, in just one week, Ulan-Ude had fallen. China also initially believed that the Battle of Ulan-Ude was probably
It took more than half a month, or even longer. However, it was not expected that the battle would end in just half of the planned time.
During this battle, the Russian army deployed a total of 200,000 people in Ulan-Ude, and the fleeing troops were less than 20,000. Among them, they also included the departure from the battlefield first and retreating to Il on the Baikal region.
The remaining ones were from the 9th Cossack Army of Kutsk. The only ones were to break through from Ulan-Ude, then cross Lake Baikal through water, and return to the Grand Duke Nikolai and his party in Irkutsk. The rest were
More than 80,000 people were beaten to death, many of which died after being injured and did not receive effective treatment. The remaining nearly 100,000 people all entered the prisoner-of-war camps built by China in Mongolia Province. Of course,
, After the situation on the Ulan-Ude line stabilized, these prisoners will all participate in labor. The General Staff and the Ministry of Transport have planned to connect the domestic railways with the Siberian Railway. Among them, the Siberian Railway
The railway in the middle that had not yet been completed was also built by China. Compared with that, after the end of this war, all these areas undoubtedly belonged to China. Building these railways will not only strengthen the empire's borders.
Regional control can also facilitate the empire to immigrate these border areas in the future, promote economic development, etc. The captives of the Russian army are the best labor force. Otherwise, China would not have spent so much food.
Raise them.
However, this victory can only be said to be an imperfect victory for China. In this war, China also paid the price of nearly 20,000 casualties, including deaths and serious injuries.
, there were tens of thousands of people. A large part of them were lost in street fighting, and the other was the price paid to intercept the Russian army when the Russian army broke through. In the darkness,
The ** team cannot exert many of its weapons advantages, and there are relatively large casualties. In addition, the escape of senior Russian generals such as Grand Duke Nicholas has greatly reduced the victory of China. If Grand Duke Nicholas and others can be defeated
If the prisoner or even killed him, this would inevitably be a huge loss for the Russian army. It would even completely disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Russian army. However, unfortunately, Grand Duke Nikolai and others fled back to Irkutsk.
The Russian army in Irkutsk can be organized to continue fighting with China. Now, the Russian army in Irkutsk has soared to more than 200,000, and this number is still increasing.
.In order to ensure victory, or not to lose so ugly, Tsar Nicholas II has already drawn troops from other parts of Russia to support the East and West Siberia battlefield as much as possible. He obtained a large amount of loans from Britain, and all of them were used to recruit new soldiers.
And to purchase weapons and equipment. In order to support the front line, Russia has tried its best.
After the Battle of Ulan-Ude, the First Army, Third Army and Third Cavalry Army, which participated in this battle, were very tired, and the lost troops and combat materials needed to be supplemented. The northern battlefield stopped once again.
A large-scale battle. However, the Fourth Army began to attack. They began to advance gradually towards Irkutsk from Baikalsk. Be prepared for the next battle in Irkutsk. If, Ulan
The Battle of Ude is the turning point of this land war between China and Russia. Then, the next battle of Irkutsk is the opportunity to completely knock the Russian army down to the abyss.
Both China and Russia are preparing for the Irkutsk War. Russia is desperately replenishing its troops and equipment to Irkutsk, while China is trying to speed up the time to transport ammunition and medicine to the front line to ensure that it is here.
During a major battle, you can get sufficient logistics and supply support, and you will not experience the embarrassment of the Ulan-Ude Battle.
Army Minister Cai Yun also returned to Beijing from the front line and returned to the base camp to explain the next combat plan.
On April 27, the base camp meeting was held, and Wang Yuze personally attended, and there were also military giants and important officials in the cabinet.
"It has been more than a month since the war began. So far, the Imperial Team has achieved great results. I am very pleased that it is precisely because of the hard work of the imperial soldiers and the efforts of everyone that the Empire can leave.
Today, the war has reached its present level, and we are not far from victory! The Russians have lost hundreds of thousands of troops. Although they are still persisting, they are already seriously injured. Only the next step is Irkutsk
If the war empire wins again, Russia will be completely defeated. In terms of the naval, the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia has almost prepared. As long as it can defeat the combined fleet, we will definitely win this war! Next,
The Chief of Staff will introduce to you the results achieved since this stage and the specific arrangements for the next stage!" Wang Yuze's face was full of smiles. It can be said that victory is getting closer and closer to China. Through this war,
China will completely become a world-class power.
"Your Majesty, dear lords! The war has been going on for 47 days since March 11th. In this month and a half, the Imperial Navy has successively annihilated the Japanese Navy and the British Navy Far East Fleet, laying the foundation for the Imperial Navy in the Far East.
The hegemony of the Pacific region. The Imperial Army has achieved great victories in the Northeast battlefield, the northern battlefield, the northwest battlefield and the Nanyang battlefield. Until now, the Imperial Army has annihilated nearly 600,000 Russian troops, of which nearly 300,000 were captured.
People annihilated more than 100,000 British, French and colonial armies in South China. Overall, the Imperial Team has an absolute advantage on the land battlefield." said Xiong Wu, Chief of Staff.
Hearing these data, the ministers on the cabinet were shocked. Although they all knew that the Imperial Team had been winning battles, they did not expect that they had wiped out 700,000 or 800,000 enemies. This is the West
The army of the great powers is not the kind of corrupt army that was the Qing Dynasty in the past! At the same time, a thought also circled in their minds. After annihilated so many enemies, how many casualties were there in the Imperial Team? The so-called killing of the enemy
After losing 800 to 800 enemies, the Emperor* team itself may have suffered a lot of losses!
"In order to achieve these victories, the Imperial ** team has also paid a huge price. In the past month and a half, the Imperial ** team has suffered nearly 70,000 casualties, of which more than 23,000 were killed and more than 11,000 were seriously injured.
.” Xiong Wu continued.
The important officials of the cabinet were relieved when they heard this data. Nearly 70,000 casualties, and the total number of serious injuries and deaths was less than 35,000. This cost was not too high. After all, there was
There will be death in war, and it is impossible to defeat a powerful enemy without death. Maybe it can be done in the future, but with the current technological level, this is simply a fantasy. Of course, the reason why there are no casualties
There is a big reason for this, because the Emperor* team used a large number of powerful weapons such as artillery during the battle, which can be said to be a victory made of steel.
"In the next stage, the Imperial Navy's operations focus on defeating the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia, defeating the US Navy in the Eastern Pacific, and assisting the Army in landing in Japan. The Imperial Army's combat goal is to defeat Russia in the north and seize the entire South Ocean for the Empire for the Empire.
, land on Japan, completely destroy Japan, and defeat the United States." Xiong Wu continued. In these combat plans, the navy defeated the combined fleet of Britain, France and Russia is the top priority and the basis of everything.
Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng and Army Secretary Cai Yun also said that they will definitely win as much as possible.
Next, the cabinet also made a guarantee that during the war, the cabinet would serve the army in an all-round way and ensure that the army won the victory.
After the meeting, Army Minister Cai Yun proposed the plan for the Battle of Irkutsk.
"Your Majesty, dear lords, from the start of the war to now, the Russian army's strength has increased from 1.2 million to 2.5 million. Although we have now eliminated 600,000 Russian troops, for the huge army, there is no
It really hurts its muscles. This is very difficult for a country with a huge land area and population in Russia to defeat them. For the next stage of the Irkutsk plan, the Army Department proposed a new one
The idea!" Cai Yun said.
"What's the idea?" Wang Yuze asked. He also knew that if he wanted to defeat Russia, he would destroy the Russian army's vitality as much as possible, so that the Russian army could not bear huge losses and had to make peace between China.
"Your Majesty, the Army Department plans to use Irkutsk as a main battlefield to eliminate the Russian army, attracting a large number of Russian troops to Irkutsk. Just like Ulan-Ude, but Ir
There will be more Russian troops in Kutsk. Now, there are only more than 200,000 Russian troops in Irkutsk, less than 300,000. We plan to wait until the Russian troops are concentrated to 500,000.
Launch another attack and strive to make a battle to determine the world!" Cai Yun said firmly. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
