Volume 3 The Four Hundred and Seventy-fifth Chapters of the Thousand Years of Miracles, Tsaritsin
The anti-aircraft guns from the Soviet side did not have many ways to fly fast aircraft, but they were a huge threat to airships with slow speeds and huge targets.
The officers of the airship transport brigade naturally carefully examined this situation and made suggestions that the airship would never allow it to directly participate in the battle, which coincided with Wang Maoru's idea. Wang Maoru used airships for transportation because the airship had a large load capacity. In addition, its engine was a diesel engine, which was fuel-efficient than the airplane's gasoline engine, and it was more conducive to maintenance. At the same time, the diesel engine was not picky about the quality of diesel.
The cost of an airship is half the cost of a transport aircraft, and its capacity is several times that of a transport aircraft, and it can also be transported for a long time. This makes airships even more convenient, fast and faster than trains. But the only difficult thing is that the weather impact of airships is too great, and the airships cannot move, and the airships cannot take off in winter. Fortunately, Russia has started drought and rainless this year, and Wang Maoru's airship transportation has never stopped.
The benefits of using airships are many, especially in the Soviet guerrillas in the rear of Russia. Although they have poor frontal combat capabilities, their strengths are enough to harasse the logistics of the ** team or destroy the railway in the attack.
Using airship transportation can bypass the harassment of Soviet guerrillas, even if the supplies are supplemented, including the supplies of personnel and ammunition. Therefore, when the Tsar made a suggestion, Wang Maoru firmly refused, and he would not let the airship transportation troops conduct investigations and use for the Russians.
Then Wang Maoru submitted a supplementary version of the Treaty of Guoerbin to the Chinese government. He discussed how to return the foreign northeast and northwest in batches. The Chinese team is not a fool. He really has to wait until you unify Russia before accepting the territory. When it comes to the advance payment, you have to give it a little. This is also part of the supplementary treaty. The discussion first expresses sincerity to the Chinese people to return part of the territory.
But Tsar Nicholas II was not a fool, and he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this contract for now. Let's see how powerful the Chinese team is." His meaning is very clear. If the Chinese team is not effective in fighting and encountering Soviet Russia, he will definitely not sign this supplementary agreement - he does not want to give his territory to others, but the Chinese team does not do its best at all. Isn't this a loss of watermelon picking sesame seeds? He also bears a bad reputation, loses territory, and gains the enemy. At the same time, he heard that the Third Army of the Far East China Interfere Army fought a tacit war with the Soviets. In international affairs, everyone is very smart, and they are not fools. Everyone looks at all the tricks Xu Shuzheng has done.
Wang Maoru was even more angry with Xu Shuzheng. He was playing the trick of preserving his strength in the Far East, which really made him passive in Ufa. So now the only way for the Chinese team to want Tsarist Russia to return the territory was to give the Red Army a fierce battle and show the prestige of the Chinese. Just hunting Russian guerrillas was far from enough. Perhaps in the Battle of Kazan, 10,000 people died a day, which was normal, which made the Tsar think that the death and injury of 3,000 people were not considered a battle at all. But he didn't know. Just annihilated 3,000 Soviet soldiers, made the Chinese people think that Wang Maoru had already reborn from Sun Wu, and gave Wang Maoru's general Guo Bro. Long Qing a nickname called Flying General.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and Nicholas II did not sign the treaty of Wang Maoru, and he also refused the suggestion of Wang Maoru and Kolchak. Just kidding. Who is Kolchak? He is the one who uses soldiers to death, and his own soldiers will never listen to him.
Then the Chinese team was temporarily rested, and the support resources from the rear were being transported continuously under the dispatch of Jiang Fangzhen. In order to support the transportation, the Americans also specially gave China free helium and diesel engines to help the Northeast Frontier Defense Forces produce airships. In the Air Force aircraft manufacturing plant in Saltu, airships were continuously produced like dumplings in the pot.
It is easy to learn to drive an airship, and it is not complicated to operate. There is basically nothing that can affect its stability except being subject to the weather. In addition, since 1919, Russia and China have not rained since spring. The weather was basically sunny and drought, so airship transportation seemed very convenient. During the entire war, the Chinese airship transport teams in the war increased from 36 before the war to 160 later, becoming the main supply and transportation equipment for the Chinese military.
In the Tsarist Russian Palace in Ufa, all officers of the General Staff of the Tsarist Russian Empire Team and the main leaders of the empire were fiercely arguing about the operational deployment of the Chinese Interference Army. The Chinese Interference Army did not send representatives to participate in this meeting because a minor problem occurred within the Chinese Interference Army being dealt with.
At the beginning of the meeting, the commander of the Czech Legion, Geda jumped up and shouted loudly, proposing that he would command the Chinese Interference Army to form an international Interference Army Army. Of course, this nonsense could not stand even Nicholas II, who had never interrupted, could not stand this nonsense. After a year of battle, your Czech Legion had only 40,000 people left, but he tried to command the 170,000 Chinese team. It was simply an international joke. Seeing everyone looking at him with a ridiculous look, Geda had to sit down angrily.
Kolchak's representative Han Ren asked to supplement the Chinese interfering army into the First Army and directly placed it on the Kazan front to confront the Soviet Red Army. The First Army suffered heavy losses and has not yet been replenished and urgently needed to increase its strength. However, Berevelge rejected Han Ren's suggestions on the grounds that the Chinese army was not only used as combat forces but also carried political forces.
After arguing, the arrival of a telegram made everyone stop the argument. It turned out that Denikin's troops launched a large-scale attack with the support of the British and French interference army, achieved remarkable results, and once approached Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. However, due to the inability of support from the Kolchak front, the two legions were unable to write a battle, resulting in the Soviet Union hitting the forces and attacking Denikin. Denikin's army retreated to Ukraine, and Denikin himself received accusations from all officers of the Tsarist Russian Southern Army. However, because the Tsar did not give orders, Denikin still served as the commander of the Tsarist Russian Southern Army.
The impeachment telegram from Flanger, deputy commander of the Tsarist Russian Southern Army, made everyone realize that the Southern Army was in such a bad situation.
Han Ren slapped the table and said, "No, if Denikin is defeated, then the pressure we face will be very huge. The rebels are fighting on multiple fronts, but they can remain unbeaten. If they hit all their strength on us, I think the First Army is very unfavorable. Of course, the final victory must belong to us. Long live the great Russian Empire."
"Long live the great Russian Empire!" the others responded.
"We want to rescue Denikin and open the Chalijin passage." Nicholas II made up his mind and said, "The others raised their ears and opened Chalijin. Last year, they tried to open Chalijin, but they failed miserably, so that the Southern Army and the Tsar Army lost their last trace of connection.
The difficulty of opening this route is no less than the difficulty of falling into a meat-minting battle with the Soviet Red Army on the Kazan front. Chalizin, later renamed Volgograd, is the most important city in southern Russia and the headquarters of the Russian Southern Army. It is stationed here at the Southern Army and the Southeast Army. It is the most important industrial city in southern Russia and the largest city, with a population of 450,000.
In order to capture Taritzin, in August last year (1918), Tsarist Russian officer Krasnov led 45,000 infantry and cavalry, 150 cannons and 610 machine guns to attack Taritzin for the first time. The Soviet side built three defense lines in Taritzin, Stalin served as the chairman of the Military Commission, Mining served as the propaganda committee member to mobilize urban workers and peasant soldiers to defend the Soviet government, and the army relied on armored trains and cannons under the command of Voroshilov. The two sides carried out a large-scale battle here, known in history as the Battle of Taritzin. The result of the Tsaritzin Battle was that the Tsaritzin Okrasnov Legion was eventually eliminated, while the Soviet Union fought more and more, and established the 8th, 9th, and 10th Army, which also blocked the major traffic routes of Tsaritzin and foreign interference troops.
The importance of Charizin is no less than that of the second capital to Russia. If you are not familiar with the name Charizin, then there is a name and a famous battle in World War II that everyone will know, that is, the Battle of Stalingrad and Stalingrad.
Yes, Thariczin changed its name to Stalingrad in 1924 to commemorate Stalin's contribution to the Battle of Thariczin. After Stalin's death, Khrushchev came to power to rename Stalingrad Volgograd.
Taritzin is the southern center of Russia. The Russians regard the Volga River as their mother and mother. Taritzin is the most important industrial city on the Volga River. As a southern city, its average temperature is 26 degrees in summer and minus 9 degrees in winter. The city is located on the banks of the Volga River. It is nourished by the Volga River, with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and rich resources. It has always been called Russia's "southern granary".
In addition to the southern granary, Chalizin is also an industrial center in southern Russia. It has a series of industrial projects such as machinery manufacturing, metal processing, wood processing, petroleum processing, and food processing. In Chalizin, it also has one of the largest arsenals in Russia, and half of the Nachimogan in Russia is produced here.
If Chalizin can obtain it, its strategic significance will be no less than that of Denikin's capture of Moscow.
