The first thousand one hundred and eighty-nine chapters
Russia is almost a rogue, allowing Britain and France to finally protect it, and exempting part of the debt. Russia is too lice to owed the debt. The United States' commitment is the most important. It is a matter of rolling and crawling, which is to make the United States reach a promise and get 3 million troops. Otherwise, with Russia's family background, it would be completely impossible to form a 3 million army under the premise that the Tsar did not subsidize.
These troops will need at least one winter to reorganize, and they will not be fully reorganized until the beginning of next spring. The real large-scale attack will be next year. At that time, even if you fight all the 3 million troops, you will still take down the Chita.
This is all next year. According to Petervic, Chita has to test it. It is impossible to let China get Chita for nothing without a single reaction. If there is a chance, it is also a good thing to take back Chita, but the possibility of this is extremely low.
No matter how low the possibility is, we must try it, because the loss of contact between Brusinov's troops has left Russia completely unaware of the situation in the Far East, especially the situation near Chita in the middle line. Without temptation, it is impossible to take the next step.
This suggestion is also more in line with the Tsar's appetite. Nicholas II was vindictive and immediately deployed and issued this order. When the order reached the Far East, Xinjiang and Northeast Russia no longer had to get entangled with the Chinese army, and took the initiative to retreat and draw elite forces. Both sides needed to draw at least 500,000 troops to attack Chita together, which would be the best to take Chita down, and the least to test the damage of Chita to see the defense level of the Chinese army.
The two armies used it without hiding the omnipresent eyes of the Intelligence Bureau. After all, the two armies retreated voluntarily, and the Northwest also wanted to figure out what they were going to do. After all, there were at least 2 million troops on both sides. If they were pressed together, it would be a bit stressful.
During the investigation by the Intelligence Bureau, after the Russian army retreated to its garrison, only some of the troops took action. Although there were no precise numbers, it was not the entire army that was under pressure. China was much less pressure.
It always takes a long time to go to Chita from both sides. This obviously has hostility and purpose in the army, which of course attracted the attention of the northwest. If it was not before the plane. Such a fast march would at most inform the intention to go back, and detailed information would be unlikely.
However, when Russia had high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, without discovering and countermeasures, the entire Russian airspace was almost the same as China's private areas. Two hostile Russian troops launched large-scale deployments, not only did the entire Mongolian-North Mongolian Military Region monitor the entire process, but also urgently mobilized 28 reconnaissance aircraft in the General Military Region, almost filling the entire Russian sky with various high-speed reconnaissance aircraft.
Such a high density would have been discovered long ago if it were the core of the European War in full swing, and it might have attracted some attention. However, this is Siberia, and it was still in October that it had lost Chita and a million troops. These were ordered to go to Chita and had no time to pay attention to it.
It took a few days for the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft to confirm that at least 500,000 troops, two groups, began to move towards Chita, with the target and number. They were basically confirmed, and the radio waves informed the notification almost immediately.
Russia's movements were very fast and resolute, but for China, their movements were still a little slow. The steps of the Mongolian North Legion were correct. With the help of the field power of the First Armored Division, they suppressed the strongest Brusinov troops and then attacked Chita.
Of course, when Yan Xishan initially planned the battle of Chita might last 15 to 20 days, so he was tempted at that time, in order not to give Russia time to react, because when Chita was conquered, it was already the time for Siberia to be icy and snowy, and at this time, Russia could not do much.
The emergence of the incendiary bomb solved the problem of casualties and also left time free. Yan Xishan was not worried about this at all. As long as it was kept confidential for half a month, the Mongolian North Legion could build a solid enough defense in Chita. Even if it was not possible, both sides were responsible for blocking the Chinese army and could still buy enough time for Chita.
In fact, the Russian army's reaction was too late. It had been more than half a month since the Chita had passed. By the time they arrived nearby, it had been a month. With the construction speed of the northwest, a magnificent city could be built and completed in one month, not to mention itself, it only destroyed half of the Chita. At the construction speed of the northwest, the basic system has been completed.
If someone can look down at the entire Chita from his mouth, the Chita will be further expanded and its area will be further expanded. Half of the original city walls were destroyed when the Mongolian North Legion attacked Chita. With the expansion, it will not be rebuilt, and the remaining half will not be demolished, and it will still look dilapidated. The core of the city not only has a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications built, but also a large number of underground fortifications have been dug in the city. What is there to be a heavier defense than the earth? As long as the thickness reaches a certain level, even a 350mm naval gun cannot attack them.
During the quiet half month, almost every minute, Chita's defense was rapidly increasing. In a month, it reached its peak. Next, although it would increase throughout the winter, the growth rate was reduced only in terms of thickness and defense strength.
As of now, after adjustment, the final number of the defenders of the entire Chita is 10,000, of which about 150,000 were arranged on the ground and 80,000 underground. It seems that there are not many people, but various technical equipment is almost armed to the teeth, and various artillery more than 10,000 cannons, including 12 305mm cannons, which are difficult to transport from Baotou, northwest. Although the northwest has a larger 15 and 16-inch cannon, the power of the 305 cannons is not small after modification. It is really strong on land. It is not a problem to strengthen other artillery and defend the city.
Since its establishment, the Northwest has always paid attention to firepower. Not only light firepower, but also heavy firepower, the Northwest, which can develop a 16-inch naval gun, is definitely the world's best in artillery. Chita is a major city and will also be the focus of Russian attacks in the future. It is impossible not to strengthen it. It is not that I don't want to add artillery to it. The scale of Chita city is placed there. No matter how much it increases, Chita City will not be able to accommodate it. It should be a total of tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of artillery and tens of thousands of control personnel, especially larger ones, and more people are needed. If this continues, the entire Chita City may be artillery soldiers.
Of course, it is impossible to defend all artillery soldiers in the city. Artillery is only part of the strong city defense. What remains are basic infantry and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. With tens of thousands of artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and even multiples of light and heavy machine guns, as well as well trained soldiers, even regular troops in the northwest attack according to conventional means, it will take at least three times the number to attack. To measure the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, it is almost impossible for the Russian army to break through under the conventional level, which is also the reason why the Northwest is safe.
At this time, the Russian army mobilized 500,000 troops in the east and west respectively, with only one goal. The news of the fall of Chita has been exposed. This is a key intelligence and information, which is very important to China.
Since the attack on Chita, China has no hope. It is impossible for the news that Chita was conquered to be protected forever. This is not an ancient time when the news was not working. There was telegraph. Especially after Britain had built the entire world's telegraph network, the Northwest said that it cut off the Siberian railway, but in other directions, there was no telegraph. It must be the Far East Military Region. After finding that it was impossible to contact Russia, it took advantage of Japan's telegraph lines. The speed of the telegraph was the speed of the electronics, which was 300,000 kilometers per second. It was not very different when it was around for a circle and not around. It was not very different, but a difference of one minute.
The most critical half month has passed. Chita City's defense has been improved to a certain extent to a certain extent. It has been October. At most, more than half a month, around Chita, after November, the temperature will drop significantly, and the minimum temperature in the wild will drop to about minus 40 degrees Celsius. Under such temperature conditions, with the technological level of this era, it is impossible to allow the large army to fight, because it is very likely that the cold wave will drop by more than half of the staff.
In terms of logistics, the northwest already attaches enough importance to logistics, but facing the power of nature, the northwest cannot do it. Although special forces can go further north and fight in places with lower temperatures, a large part of the equipment of special forces is produced by all-in-one aircraft. The high-seal and high-insulation materials are far from comparable now. They can be below minus 40 degrees Celsius and do not affect their own actions. The army will not do it. The production capacity of all-in-one aircraft is limited. Even the special forces only have the Mongolian-North Military Region and a few equipment to perform tasks, not all equipment, which shows how expensive these equipment is.
Success is cold, failure is cold. A large part of Russia's strength lies in its huge region and cold climate. Napoleon was defeated here. In the future, time and space, it was arrogant and swept across Europe. Even Hitler, who surrendered in France, was defeated by this point. History can be seen. Yang Yuanzhao, who knew this clearly, certainly would not make such a mistake. He would even use such things. Whether it was time to conquer Chita or the fortifications consolidated in Chita, only by holding Chita steadily can he achieve strategic intentions. (.)
