The huge progress made by China and Japan's interference army in Russia has made a slight hidden concern beyond the reach of the two old powers, Britain and France. The strength of Asian countries will inevitably pose competition and challenges to Western countries.

Originally, Britain and France were just using China and Japan to maintain a buffer zone on the Eastern Front of Russia, and in the process of irreversible domestic situation in Russia, it retained a base for all Russian forces opposing the Bolsheviks, such as the Social Revolutionaries, Mensheviks and Constitutionalists.

Now I didn’t expect that the Chinese were so fierce and fast, and they hit the west of Lake Baikal in a blink of an eye. If this momentum continues, will the Chinese want to replace Russia and become the new overlord of Eurasia?

What makes people feel even more strange is that the Japanese side and China's step adjustment rhythm began to remain consistent. The friction between the two armies in Vladivostok was obviously just a small episode. Further down, the interference armies between China and Japan seemed to be about to really start to join hands, especially when Juerdian and Kant knew that the Japanese Army Department sent a special commissioner to Wang Geng's Nanyuan Headquarters.

"gun! There is information that you seem to have reached a tacit understanding and agreement with Japan. As a common member of the Allies, we strongly oppose China and Japan leaving the United States, Britain and France alone, don't forget who armed your war army!" French Minister Kant directly broke into Wang Geng's headquarters and made negotiations.

Wang Geng just took Hata Shunruo back from the Six Kingdoms Hotel. Although Hata Shunruo could not officially become Wang Geng's staff officer, he was hired as a private military adviser by Wang Geng. Of course, this was not made public. In order to cover up people's eyes, Hata Shunruo himself and the staff he brought changed into the uniforms of the Chinese war army. Wang Geng even gave Hata Shunruo a Chinese name Tian Jun and directly gave Hata Shunruo a title of senior senator.

Wang Geng smiled and invited Kant to enter the small meeting of the headquarters to serve tea, thinking that the French minister was obviously here to explore the way for Juerdian and Rui Enshi. Perhaps he heard some news from there, but France is really out of reach for Asia now. The boy came over quickly and did not weigh his own weight first.

"My dear Minister, China and Japan work together to interfere in Russia's affairs in Siberia and the Far East. This is a huge obligation for the Allied Powers. It is natural for us to consult and coordinate on the military action plan and logistics support! I wonder where your dissatisfaction comes from?"

Wang Geng slowly lit a cigar and smiled at the French minister.

"gun, we are wise people don't say secret words. The Allied Power expressed surprise and admiration for the progress made by the Chinese military after the dispatch of the war. But you have now advanced to the west of Lake Baikal in one breath, which is beyond the position we had agreed upon at the beginning. The Western Siberian Plain, based on the results of the negotiation between the Allied Powers and the Russian Siberian Autonomous Government, is a space for activity reserved for them! They have already protested to the United Kingdom and us!"

French Minister Kant broke into Wang Geng's headquarters alone. At this moment, Juerdian was bedridden with the Spanish flu, but Rui Enshi took advantage of the excuse to refuse. As a result, the guy had to come alone. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he could not find the Minister of Foreign Affairs Xia Yiting and the Chief of the War in front of him, and finally got the main master in Nanyuan.

"Mr. Minister, the Chinese warriors only fired at our enemies. The name of the Siberian Autonomous Provisional Government you mentioned was wrong. They were established in Ufa and have captured Kazan now. They can only be called the Ural Provisional Autonomous Government. As for the Western Siberian Plain, including the western area of ​​Baikal, these places are still under the control of the Soviet Bolsheviks!"

Wang Geng took a sip of cigarette and said calmly, "The Chinese warriors seized these places from the Bolsheviks, and had no conflict with the original intention of the Agreement to interfere in the Russian situation. We recommend one kilometer to Xido. On the eastern front of the European War, the pressure faced by Britain and France will be less than that. As for whom you are worried about in the future, I think it is far from time to discuss these things now!"

"gun! How do you want us to answer the Russian Siberian Provisional Government? You have put your hands in someone's pocket now. Everyone will jump up. Now they have no time to look east. If the White Guards and the Czech Legion turn around and attack east in the future, everyone will be really upset!" The French minister rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

In front of Wang Geng, in the past year, except for Zhu Erdian because of his age and Rui Enshi because of his closest relationship with the United States and China, others such as Kant and Lin Quanzhu always had a disadvantage in front of Wang Geng. If they wanted to threaten China to participate in the war and supervise, they would be boring at all. Wang Geng would never give him a good face, and he would serve tea and see off guests many times!

Kant came to find Wang Geng today, but was urged by the domestic government's telegram. The Siberian Provisional Autonomous Government was mainly composed of the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks supported by Britain and France. The rebellious Czech Legion was at this time a unit belonged to a ** legion in the French army.

The Chinese warriors' hands in Siberia were stretched so far, and the British and French governments suddenly felt the pressure. In fact, Wang Geng greeted the United States specifically before China sent troops to Siberia. The United States' foreign policy at this time was to open doors and share interests, just like Britain and France supported the Siberian temporary autonomous government.

The spokesperson for the interests of the United States in Siberia is the Chinese war army, an army armed by the United States. In the less than a year after Wang Geng returned to China, the United States has gained more profits in China than in the past 10 years. American capital has gained its own share in all the large enterprises established by Wang Geng.

Not to mention black gold oil, the Renqiu oil field of China-US oil company is now a gold mine in China in Asia for the United States, so Kant whined and turned away from Rui Enshi. The reason is that Wang Geng gave Americans a clear idea before launching the Siberian military operation:

As long as there is a slight possibility, the Chinese team will at least push the front line to the Ural Mountains, the dividing line between Asia and Europe. The political status of all places occupied by the Chinese team will be left to the referendum of local residents in the future, but the United States will gain priority investment and development power, just like the Chinese-US oil companies.

With the United States' default and support, Wang Geng's army can truly let go of his hands and feet and advance westward. The two big pies, Ural and Western Siberia, attracted Japan to act as the pioneer of the way, like carrots hanging in front of the donkey's head!

When the first week of March 1918 ended, the Chinese military won the following results:

On the eastern front of the Far East, on March 3, the 20th Mixed Brigade of the 7th Division of the Chinese Joint Forces, surrounded Khabarovsk. On March 4, the 7th Division headquarters and the remaining two Mixed Brigades rushed to the outskirts of Khabarovsk, and the persuasion of surrender was invalid.

Wang Zhengting's 7th Division launched a full-scale attack. The 75mm mountain field artillery of the three mixed brigades of the 7th Division combined as many as 216. In addition, there were 54 150mm howitzers from the division's heavy artillery regiment. In the sky, there were air force participating in the war from Suifenhe to cheer.

The Handlipeti/400 heavy bombers, which had blacked three squadrons, bombed the Russian positions in Khaba Lovsk, while all the artillery of the 7th Division covered the Russian positions for 30 minutes. Then three mixed brigades launched a comprehensive assault from the east, south and west directions.

The Soviet defenders were destroyed most of the positions by the overwhelming bombing and artillery fire of the Chinese team. In the end, only a small number of the Soviet troops broke out to the north and fled into the mountains and forests. The remaining 3,000 people were killed in battle and 6,000 were captured. The Chinese warriors also suffered major casualties for the first time. They paid considerable casualties and prices when conquering the core fortress that escaped the bombing and still stood.

In the Battle of Boli, the Chinese military involved in the war wiped out nearly 9,000 Russian troops, with nearly 1,000 casualties, more than 300 people killed and more than 600 injured. This is the first time that he has seen the power of Russian fortresses.

For the 17th Division Brigade-level officers and generals above the corps commander of the 12th Division who watched the battle on the spot, Wang Zhengting's 7th Division was fighting a beautiful battle of coordinated air-ground synergistic artillery.

Of course, the Japanese generals were muttering in their hearts that the Chinese cannon aircraft were really too luxuriously configured. A division-owned heavy artillery regiment had 54 150mm heavy artillery pieces, and the shells were more desperately set off like money. The firepower density and use of this army are the magic weapon to win!

What is criticized is that the accuracy of air bombing is still a bit insufficient. The Russian army's core fortification was extremely strong. Even if it hits a 150mm howitzer, it cannot be defeated. Only the 250 kilograms of aircraft bombs from heavy bombers can be dealt with. Unfortunately, 550 kilometers from Suifenhe to Khabarovsk happened to be stuck at the maximum combat radius of Handlipedi 0/400.

This objectively shortened the time for the bomber group that took off from Suifenhe to assist the battle to stay in the sky over Khabarovsk. The bombing carried out under the oil volume warning was slightly missed - it was understandable that the accuracy was accurate!
