The defeat of the 1st Budyonny Cavalry Army plunged everyone from Moscow to Kdonsnoyarsk into a state of sorrow.
Frunze fell into deep self-blame, although the failure of Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army had no direct relationship with him.
But he always likes to take all the responsibility on himself.
The situation in Kdonsnoyarsk is now very bad.
Surrounding their squadron and White Guard troops, there are obvious signs of a general offensive. They do not want to prolong the war and usher in the cold winter of Russia.
It’s only been a little over a hundred years since the French emperor’s failure in Russia...
Moreover, behind the Chinese, there is a president who can magically predict everything. The president will never allow the war to be delayed until winter.
The first to take action was obviously Liu Zhaocheng, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese First Army, known as the "genius general"!
This general, who had brought so many miracles to the Chinese and foreigners, finally couldn't help but start taking action!
On October 28, the Battle of Chinmalak began.
In this battle, Liu Zhaocheng invested 6 Chinese divisions and 4 White Guard divisions at one time in Chinmalak to attack the 8th Army of the Zorochevsky Cluster!
The Battle of Chinmalak was called "a war commanded by God" by the battlefield observation team of the Western intervening countries.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 28th, after sufficient artillery preparations, Liu Zhaocheng actually invested 8 divisions in Zabraviniya, Chinmalak!
In Zabravinya, the Soviet Red Army only had the defensive strength of one division and one guerrilla brigade.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the results of the attack. Under the attack of China's absolute superiority and absolute military superiority, Zabraviniya collapsed at the first touch.
Just when Zabraviniya's Red Army was completely defeated and fled in all directions, Liu Zhaocheng suddenly ordered all troops to ignore the defeated Red Army and concentrate all forces to launch a counterattack against the 15th Division of the Red Army that came to reinforce Zabraviniya.
The hurried 15th Division of the Red Army had just seen Zabravinia, and suddenly faced a wave of enemies rushing toward them...
Before they had time to deploy their formation and build their positions, the 15th Division of the Red Army had been completely overwhelmed.
Its division commander Onev Mabuski and political commissar Aino Demaviv were killed in the rebellion.
The 15th Division, which had lost its command, was scurrying around like a fly. This was originally an excellent opportunity to completely annihilate the 15th Division, but under the stunned eyes of all the members of the battlefield observation group, Liu Zhaocheng suddenly ordered the attack on Serovaya.
Launched a fierce charge!
Crazy attack, no one knows what Liu Zhaocheng will call next!
At this time, the Sino-Russian coalition forces were fighting smoothly, and they were fighting like crazy! The Soviet Red Army in Serovaya only resisted for an hour, and was forced to abandon Serovaya under the enemy's tidal attack.
In one day, just one day after the Chinmalak attack operation began, the First Army Corps commanded by Liu Zhaocheng swept across Zabraviniya and Serovaya, causing the entire Chinmalak 8th Army to suffer the heaviest blow.
A.E. Maskov, commander of the 8th Army, found his troops in complete chaos.
The power concentrated and used by the Chinese was like an iron fist, unstoppably destroying everything in front of it. Faced with such a powerful and crazy force, A.E. Maskov did not even have any way to resist.
In the eyes of the Chinese commander, there is no difference between Chinmalak, Zabraviniya, or Serovaya. There is only one result he wants:
victory!
At night, the Chinese shelling continued!
A large number of artillery shells fell densely on the enemy, making the Soviet Red Army uneasy all night. The shelling lasted almost the entire night.
Chinmalak's Red Army was in chaos. These troops who had been crippled by Liu Zhaocheng had no idea what would happen after dawn.
What kind of terrible attacks are those damn Chinese going to carry out!
At this time, there was also a fierce debate among the intervening country's battlefield observation groups. Some of them believed that Liu Zhaocheng would bloom more, while some believed that Liu Zhaocheng's character would focus on attacking the Russian defenses.
Vorochek is the weakest.
Looking at his colleagues who were arguing endlessly, Johnson shook his head and said:
"Only God knows what Liu Zhaocheng is thinking in his heart. It is useless for us to make any guesses here. All the results will be known tomorrow..."
However, a surprising scene appeared:
On October 29, Liu Zhaocheng continued to bombard Chinmalak. For a whole day, not even a single company was involved in the attack.
Not only the commander of the Red Army, Maskov, but also the battlefield observation team of the intervening countries found it baffling.
The attack on the first day was overwhelming and unstoppable. How come the next day, he seemed to be a completely different person?
These foreign military officers talked about it one after another. The general view was that after the first day of powerful attacks and many previous attacks, the Chinese and Russian coalition forces began to feel tired and had to temporarily stop the attack.
Some people gloat that it seems that the Chinese attack power has reached its end, and they may not be able to organize an effective attack for a long time in the future...
Only Johnson maintained a completely different view from them.
In his opinion, things are definitely not that simple...
On the 30th, Liu Zhaocheng continued to use artillery attacks. The only difference was that this time he invested about one division and one brigade of troops to launch several attacks on Vorochek.
In one day, there was still no good result in the attack on Chinmalak.
As a result, even Johnson's confidence has been shaken...
On the 31st, it’s still the same...
For three whole days, Liu Zhaocheng did nothing except use artillery attacks and deploy sporadic troops to fight. Compared with the powerful and unstoppable attack on the 28th, it was a world of difference...
Johnson was confused, and everyone was confused. What on earth was this Chinese general doing?
On November 1st, everything was finally revealed!
When the sun rose that day, a piece of earth-shattering news rang over Chinmalak:
Bodonia fell into the hands of the Chinese! A brigade of the Red Army defending Bodonia was attacked by Japanese troops from two divisions, and almost the entire army was destroyed!
Oh God! There was an exclamation at the station of the intervening country's observation team.
Liu Zhaocheng's true military intentions were finally exposed in front of everyone!
In Zabravinya and Serovaya, Liu Zhaocheng refused to annihilate the defeated troops and did not care about the defeated troops at all. Instead, he drove them all to Chinmalak. The entire 8th Army of the Soviet Red Army was crowded in
Chinmalak.
In the next three days, Liu Zhaocheng used shelling and sporadic assaults, which frightened the Soviet Red Army and made them confused about the Chinese attack ideas.
But in these three days, Liu Zhaocheng used extraordinary troops to conquer Bodonia in one fell swoop!
The fall of Bodonia cut off the enemy in the encircled Kdomsnoyarsk on another battlefield and was tightly surrounded in Chinmalak.
Liu Zhaocheng's vision was not to capture Qinmalak at all, but to annihilate the entire 8th Army!
"Oh God, oh God..." Johnson murmured: "My God, none of us guessed correctly that Liu Zhaocheng's concentration of troops before was to drive away the Russians. Everything after that
, just to cut off the Russian people’s way of life..."
Johnson was right. Liu Zhaocheng wanted to drive all the Russians to the place he designated and then annihilate them. The commander of the Red Army, Maskov, also obediently followed Liu Zhaocheng's "order" and put all his troops to death.
The troops were all concentrated on the small battlefield of Chinmalak!
Then, what Liu Zhaocheng and his army have to do is to slowly digest the "fatty meat" of the 8th Army...
Maskov was completely stunned. The fall of Bodonia meant that his tens of thousands of troops would become a good meal for the Chinese.
The Chinese are not in a hurry now, they can launch an attack without haste.
What should I do? What else can I do?
A terrible fate is waving towards Maskov and the 8th Army...
"Only God can direct such a war." Johnson murmured. He still can't believe what is happening in front of him.
No one can ever guess Liu Zhaocheng's true purpose of using troops, no one except God...
Tens of thousands of Russians were played and applauded by him, and everyone was kept in the dark, including Johnson of course.
Just when Johnson thought he had understood Liu Zhaocheng and watched his tactics, he taught himself a good lesson...
Looking at the diary he had written on the Russian battlefield in the past few months, Johnson suddenly felt a little ridiculous. No matter how many diaries he wrote, he could never figure out half of Liu Zhaocheng's thoughts.
This young genius general controls everything on the battlefield and treats his enemies as nothing.
Johnson felt lucky that this man was a general from an allied country of the United States. If he were an enemy, it would be really scary.
Johnson searched his mind countless times, but to his regret, he could not find an American general who could rival him.
The terrible Chinese generals, the terrible Chinese people, the terrible Liu Zhaocheng...
He took a few puffs of cigarette, pulled out a piece of paper, picked up a pen, thought about it for a long time, organized it for a long time, and then put pen to paper and wrote:
