Volume Four, Chapter 526, Torpedo Drops from the Sky
"What?" Zinoviev said in surprise.
"My request is very simple. No Chinese is allowed to join the Bolsheviks." Wang Maoru said coldly.
"You..." Zinoviev thought for a long time and didn't know what to use, and finally said: "You executioner."
Wang Maoru chuckled and said, "If you disagree, I will continue to attack Talijin. You must know that the Ural Army that is about to attack Talijin now has 200,000 troops, and the Volga Army in Berkrovsk has 400,000 troops. Do you think the attack power of our 200,000 team is worth negotiating? Think about it, when will you consider it clearly, and when will you reply me?"
The release of Zinoviev is a chess game. The captured Zinoviev actually has no effect on Tsarist Russia. At best, it has increased morale internationally. Wang Maoru chose to negotiate secretly with the Soviet Union. Releasing Zinoviev also saved the face of the Soviet Union and at the same time, he won over relations with the Soviet Union. Wang Maoru was very afraid of the Soviet Union's Communist International. These people didn't know anything else, but they were still very good at making trouble. In the next step, Wang Maoru prepared to return to China to participate in the Central Plains War, and carried out force unification before the Kuomintang, and there could not be a chaotic country.
At three o'clock the next morning, Wang Maoru met Zinoviev again eagerly. He thought to himself why the Chinese were so anxious, so he smiled and said, "Marson Marshal, I'm afraid you will disappoint. I am a prisoner, that's all."
Wang Maoru said: "No, no one knows that you are a prisoner. Until now, the Tsar's people don't know that you are here with us. They are digging three feet into the ground in Bercrovsk to find you. Hahaha, are you ridiculous?"
"Did you think of negotiating with the Soviet Union at that time?"
Wang Maoru said: "We Chinese people want to keep three points when we meet, and we must leave ourselves a way out at any time. I don't know if we will have the possibility of cooperation with the Soviets, but I know that we cannot become mortal enemies with you. There is no absolute mortal enemy in politics, only interests. Interests make us opponents, and interests also make us friends. Isn't it?"
Zinoviev sighed and said, "You are really naked, this doesn't look like the Chinese style."
Wang Maoru laughed and said, "The Chinese people are mostly large in land. China's population is one-third of the world's population. How do you make sure that Chinese people only have one personality?"
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a violent explosion sound from Chalijin. This was not a field cannon or a heavy cannon. Although Zinoviev was born as a literati. He couldn't tell the type of cannon sound, but with such a huge sound, he always understood that the Chinese might have used an extremely lethal mortar cannon. Starting tonight, the Chinese continued to attack the Soviet army, but there was never such a violent explosion. Do the Chinese have super cannons? Or Paris cannons? This is impossible. Zinoviev shouted: "What's wrong? What happened? Do you have Paris cannons?"
Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "No. Unfortunately, we don't have Paris cannons. We just sent soldiers and air force to blow up your armored trains in Chalijin." Then, dozens of huge explosions sounded, and thick smoke from Chalijin was rolling and flames were splashing. He was very nervous and excited, and he was looking forward to the Chinese Air Force airship unit being able to return safely.
The Chinese were not idle this week. They actually bought twenty torpedoes from the British in the Caspian Sea. After using various intelligence to determine the approximate location of the armored train cannon in Chalijin, they risked a huge danger to calculate the mileage route in the middle of the night and placed the torpedoes on the airship. The operators of the twenty airships were already ready to die for their country. Because Chalijin had anti-aircraft guns, and although the engine noise of the airship was enough to make them discover and shoot with anti-aircraft guns.
Once the airship is hit, it will definitely cause an explosion, and may trigger an explosion of all airships. These twenty airships may just be a journey to death. But once successful, the advantage of the Chinese team against Chalijin will be reversed. Chalijin, or the Soviet Union will definitely sit at the negotiating table in order to defend Chalijin. Eighty pilot technicians boarded the airship overnight with sincerity and determination to die. After flying as planned, they used the inertia and buoyancy of the airship when flying. In order to prevent collisions between airships, flash lights were installed on the airship. However, perhaps God was helping the Chinese. The sky was full of stars that night, and although there was no moonlight, the visibility might be very good.
In order to cover the airship, the Chinese team suddenly launched an attack, and searched around to find a loudspeaker, and set up noises such as Peking Opera Henan Bangzi, Henan Opera, Northeast Two-man Rotary, guns and cannons. The Chinese harassment continued until dawn, and the Soviet army was unable to disturb it. The airship only dropped to about a thousand meters at three o'clock in the morning. The sound of the airship diesel engine alarmed the Russians. They raised their heads and found dozens of airships staying in the air in the dim sky.
"put!"
With the officer's order, all airships released torpedoes. The airships that released the torpedo also rose up rapidly due to the reduction of mass. However, the Soviet anti-aircraft guns on the ground fired. Six of the twenty airships were directly exploded and crashed directly by concentrated airbags. Two injured and unfortunately crashed on the way back. Four airships collided in the air and exploded. One airship's airbag leaked and crashed directly in Chalijin. Three airbags were damaged and insisted on returning to the base. Only four airships returned to the base without any damage.
The losses caused to them by twenty torpedoes were unexpected by the Soviet army. They thought that after the conflict between the Chinese and the Soviet Union, they did not want to do their best, so they did not defend closely. At the same time, they did not expect that the enemy would throw the torpedoes from the sky, eleven armored trains were blown up, dozens of sections of the railway were blown up, and more than 2,000 people died.
It can be said that this dangerous move in this battle made the Soviet artillery advantage of Chalijin and the Soviet Union lost its power. The Soviet Union also felt this method of war that was completely inconsistent with the laws of science for the first time. Fortunately, the Chinese no longer had poison gas bombs, otherwise their personnel losses would have been even heavier.
The armored train cannons of Chalizin were bombed, alarming Moscow. The Soviet army did not think that the Chinese would use this dangerous way, or whimsical way to attack their armored train cannons. In their concept, torpedoes could only be used as navy, but they did not think that they could also be used as the army and bombing. As for airships, they believed that they could only be used as transportation or reconnaissance. Although the Germans had used airship bombing, there was no doubt that the Germans had never used to bomb torpedoes. In addition to torpedoes, the Chinese also threw away many shell shells, etc., which made Chalizin fall into the sea of fire. Subsequently, Chinese ground troops attacked and used their cavalry advantages to harass and set fire to all buildings and valuable strategic targets of Chalizin. The attack that was mainly killed by the enemy made the Soviet army unable to disturb them.
This is a tactic, a tactic that is carried out to pull them to the negotiating table. If you want the Soviet Union to sit at the negotiating table to have an equal position with the Chinese, you must be strong enough or the enemy is weak enough.
Zinoviev looked at Wang Maoru in surprise, and Wang Maoru smiled and said, "You think about it again. If we accumulate enough strength and we will take over Chalijin, our cooperation goal will not be Soviet Russia. I think the importance of Chalijin to you is self-evident."
A few days later, the Soviet Union increased its troops in Taritzin and implemented city-wide control. They even transferred the river fleet from Berkrovsk to Taritzin. In order to prevent the British Navy and Tsarist Navy from advancing into Taritzin from the Caspian Sea along the Volga River, they threw hundreds of mines into the river. Judging from the Soviet reaction, the situation faced by their Taritzin was extremely unoptimistic - if they knew the ideas and supplies of the Chinese team, they might have been relieved. However, the damage caused to them in the early stage was too great, which made them extremely nervous.
While Zinoviev was considering it, Wang Maoru was also comforting the soldiers everywhere, understanding what the soldiers were thinking and needed, and understanding what the officers were thinking at this moment. The news he received was that our soldiers were loyal to Xiushuai, and Xiushuai would do whatever they asked us to do. But everyone was a little homesick. It was from March to July, and it was indeed too long since they were away from home. The officers were confused by the confusion of the officers, what benefits did the country get when we worked so hard? Judging from the current attitude of the Tsar, the Zhong** team only got a small place like the Sixty-Fourth Tent in Jiangdong.
Although the excited soldiers who withdrew their troops did not say it directly, Wang Maoru saw it in their eyes. When they mentioned going home, everyone showed yearning and expectation. No one wanted to fight for a country that had hurt themselves. If you have enough benefits, then retreat. Wang Maoru sighed and once again thought that the Tsar proposed to ask for 20,000 square kilometers of land south of Xingkai Lake to Shuangchengzi, but was rejected again.
Wang Maoru threatened to withdraw his troops, and Nicholas II intimidated: "If you withdraw troops, the Harbin Treaty will be invalid!" A few days later, he learned that the Chinese team had actually ran to Baku and dismantled the oil production equipment in the Baku oil field and transported it away directly. The 50,000 Chinese team ran to Baku and removed all the oil production equipment under the eyelids of the Tsarist Russian Baku Provisional Government established by Britain and France, which really made the Tsar angry. He called Berevelge and scolded him for asking the Chinese team to come to Russia for attracting wolves into the house, and asked Berevelge to order the encirclement and suppression of Chinese interference troops.
