In February next year, that is, in early February 1919, the European Expeditionary Force will return to the northeast. At the same time, the second division that returned will go directly to Vladivostok to receive the leadership of Xu Shuzheng's First Route Army, Wang Maoru, sneered. Xu Shuzheng, don't be fooled, I will be determined to be the second division of the participating army. Now the five northeastern provinces are also forming armed inspection brigades to protect local security and replace the army with armed inspection. At present, soldiers will no longer interfere in politics.

At that time, the Northeast Frontier Defense Army would have 15 divisions and ten armed brigades, including the Second Division of the Participating Army. In addition to the armed brigades that cannot be moved, the Fifth Division guarding Liaodong, the Fifth Division guarding Liaodong, the Second Division guarding Shanhaiguan, the Fourth Division guarding Liaodong, the New 14th Division guarding Harbin, the 13th Division guarding the Chief Chun, and the 12th Division guarding Mongolia. It is still unknown whether the 10th Division of Yi Army, which will be reorganized next year, will be put into the battlefield.

At this time, the fifteenth division could only mobilize up to nine divisions. In Jiang Fangzhen's plan, the First Route Army was led by Wang Maoru, including the First Division of Li Pinxian, Ren Yuanxing's Third Division, Fei Chaogui's Sixth Division, Jiang Deng's Seventh Division, Yi's Tenth Division, Guo Bulu Longqing's 11th Cavalry Division, and the 15th Division, which is the second division of the former participating army (has been annexed), and is the first to enter Manzhouli to prepare for departure. After the weather is slightly warmer, it sets out into Russia.

The commander of the Second Route Army was Li Delin, and he would lead the Fourth Division of Gong Xiaoqi and the Ninth Division of Zhang Kuiwu into Aihui County to prepare. When the weather was slightly warmer, it entered Russia's Far East, that is, the northeast outside China.

The combat plan of the General Staff represented by Jiang Fangzhen is to gather in Manzhouli in March next year. Wang Maoru personally led the First Army to set out from Manzhouli to the north and took the Middle East Railway to Omsk. After arriving in Ukraine with the Third Army of Tsarist Russian Army in Omsk, he would assign tasks as needed.

The commander of the Third Army of Tsarist Russia was also Turechel, a subordinate of Wang Maoru's old friend Berevilge. This man was originally the brigade commander of the 28th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Tsarist Russian Mercenary Division of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. Now after returning to Russia, he was entrusted by the Chief of Staff Berevilge as the commander of the Third Army with an important task. The Third Army of Tsarist Russia had 70,000 troops, including 40,000 regular troops, and some were composed of volunteer troops from all over the country and farmers who opposed the Bolshevik surplus grain collection system. There were a total of ten divisions.

After the meeting with the 170,000 Chinese Interfering Army of the First Army of the Tsarist Russia and the Third Army of the Tsarist Russia, Wang Maoru rushed to the front line to support the Tsarist Russia First Army of Kolchak, and faced the Soviet Eastern Front.

At this time, the confrontation with Kolchak in Kazan was the Eastern Front of the Soviet Union. Commander Vatesys, who was in charge of eight Soviet armies, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 and the Turkish Army. The Tsarist Russian Belarus and the Soviet Red Army had more than one million troops fighting in Kazan, Ulyanovsk, Izhevsk, Kirov, Samara, Saratov and other places. Before the war, the Tsarist Russian army had 400,000 and the Soviet army had 700,000. The two sides launched the most tragic battle on the Russian Tatar Plain.

With Tsar Nicholas II fully supported the rear of Kolchak, the Chief of Staff of the Tsarist Russian Army Berevelge implemented the conscript system in the occupied areas of Tsarist Russia, and followed the example of the Soviet Bolsheviks and implemented the surplus grain collection system to ensure the supply of the front-line troops. Due to the strong support of the Chief of Staff Berevelge in the rear, Kolchak was not defeated as in history, but instead launched a brutal war with the Soviet Eastern Front.

The Russian Red and White sides fought a dead battle in Kazan for a month. From July 1918 until the arrival of winter, the two sides were unable to fight again and had to withdraw to their fronts to continue the confrontation. The soldiers died on both sides reached 400,000. {. Kolchak's army reached 600,000 reinforcements in the late period. The Eastern Front of Vates's Soviet Army increased to 1.1 million troops after Trosky, chairman of the Supreme Military Commission of the Soviet Union.

Although there are more Soviet troops, there are few officers in the Soviet army and guns and ammunition. Often, a soldier in a unit does not have a gun and can only wait for his comrades to die to pick up the guns of his comrades. Some troops even have gun-holding rates of only one-quarter of the number of soldiers in the army. This is also the reason why the number of Soviet troops, although twice that of Tsarist Russian troops, cannot break the defense line of the Soviet Russian troops.

The Soviet army often rushed towards the other side's positions with rifles and bayonets in hand and sang the Internationale. In World War I, this kind of scattered charge was regarded as suicide charge in later wars, but this tactic was the most common and effective tactic during this period. They ignored the bullets and died bravely on the road of charge. The people behind picked up the guns of their comrades who died in battle in front and continued to move forward. At the end were the political instructors and party representatives of each unit. They usually advanced with pistols and were beaten to death from behind when they encountered retreating. Of course, the party members were firmly dead on the road of charge.

The Soviet army originally planned to conquer the defense line of the Tsarist Russian army before winter came, but it broke its feet and damaged its soldiers and generals as if it were kicking a steel plate. It had to give up temporarily.

With the arrival of winter, the two sides stopped large-scale military operations.

However, both the Soviet Union and Russia were accumulating their strength and preparing to fight their opponents with all their strength. On the Soviet side, the Germans who threatened them to the Western Front were defeated this winter. The Supreme Soviet Committee immediately announced that all the agreements signed with Germany were invalidated and the troops on the Western Front were transferred to the Eastern Front one after another. However, without waiting for the Soviet Union to take a breath, 130,000 British and French coalition forces landed in Novorossisk, Odessa, and Sevastopol in the Caspian Sea and quickly occupied Batumi, Difris, Baku and others.

However, the attack of the interfering army was strongly resisted by the Soviet guerrillas, especially in the western and southern regions. The Soviet Union quickly established the Northern Front Army (the 6th and 7th Army), and the Southern Front Army (the 8th and 9th Army rushed to the southern front to join the Southern Front Army and was under the command of Stalin). The Eastern Front of the Soviet Union faced the Kolchak Army, the First Army, the Main Army of the Tsarist Russia, and the Northern Front Army of the Soviet Union faced the Tsarist Russian Second Army composed of Semenov, Karachev and the Czech Legion. The Southern Front of the Soviet Union faced the British and French coalition forces and the Tsarist Caucasian Legion of Denikin, and the war was in danger.

When the Harbin Conference was held, the Southern Soviet Front Army of Russia held a large-scale battle with the Tsarist Russian Caucasus Legion and the British and French coalition forces. They drove the Caucasus Legion out of the North Caucasus. The Soviet Military Committee studied that the most important thing to repel the enemy was to defeat the enemy's main First Army, that is, Kolchak's army. Therefore, they mobilized soldiers and prepared to deal with Kolchak. In order to deal with the strategic intentions of the Soviet Union, the Tsarist Russian Chief of Staff Berevelge ordered the Third Army to quickly assemble and stuff all the recruits recruited from the rear into the Third Army, so that the number of the Third Army to 120,000 to support the First Army. The 170,000 troops of the Central ** Regiment will also support the combat in the form of reinforcements and cooperate with the First and Third Army to fight against the Eastern Soviet Front.

The offensive and defensive centers of both sides are the main battlefield of Kazan.

What is beneficial to Tsarist Russia is that Kazan is in the hands of Tsarist Russia at this time, and the railway behind it is constantly transporting supplies and replenishing troops.

After Wang Maoru issued a combat order to his army, the troops actively reorganized their troops to prepare for war.

The form of China's participation in the Russian civil war has been decided. Many Soviet Russian internal jiāns jumped out at this time and published articles in newspapers opposing China's interference in other countries' internal affairs, criticizing the Northeast, especially Wang Maoru. Of course, this is very different from the overwhelming propaganda of Wang Maoru some time ago. National heroes suddenly became executioners. It can be seen that newspapers in the Republic of China are flooding with news and there is no concept of news management.

These unfavorable news are not available in Wang Maoru's territory. News control is implemented here, and even this newspaper dares not publish commentary articles at will. Even before publishing controversial content, he must seek consent from the China News Administration. Li Ziwen, director of the News Administration, is well versed in writing, and has 300 news reviewers under his command every ri staring at the newspaper. In the five northeastern provinces, people can only see a few types of newspapers, two types of news newspapers, three types of entertainment newspapers, and two types of literature and art newspapers.

No matter what Wang Maoru remarks, I just don’t know what’s wrong with me? In my territory, I just need to listen to me, intellectual critics, if they are not satisfied, they can leave, but if they violate the law, they will be punished for espionage. Duan Qirui and other old Beiyang warlords do respect those intellectuals very much, and even those who scold them dare not move, so they have to be scolded honestly. But Wang Maoru is different. He knows how much the impact of remarks on a zhèngfu. The five northeastern provinces cannot hear the voices scolding Wang Maoru at all. The newspapers are full of news about the election of governors of Jilin Province and world news.

Of course, many loyal Bolsheviks appointed by the Soviets came to the Northeast to privately print and publish newspapers to circulate, but the implementation of the household registration system and ID card system and the most important urban neighborhood committee management system forced many Soviet spies to reveal their status. They had only one fate, and were executed for espionage. If they were from the five northeastern provinces, their families would also be implicated and deported to suffer punishment. If they were from other places, their families would be chased and arrested.

For the Soviet spies, other warlords were still very happy to cooperate in the punishment, and they wanted to announce to the people that this person was a traitor, and the whole family was a traitor, so let the people see that our warlords were not all just fighting civil wars.
