Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother, Chapter 465, All Kinds of Tastes
Fu Longzhi was a little embarrassed. After the Chinese National Defense Force launched an attack on the Soviets, the Fu Longzhi front, which was confronting the Far East government forces, received news almost as long as Moscow. However, although Fu Longzhi was a little surprised by the Chinese's achievements in the war, he did not take it too seriously.
After all, the Chinese took advantage of their precaution to fight the Soviets off guard. From this point of view, if the commander of the Chinese National Defense Forces was Fu Longzhi, he could achieve such results. But don't forget that war cannot determine the outcome by winning one or two battles. What's more, the Soviets are a vast and large-scale country. The beginning of the war does not mean that the entire war can be won. The territory lost and the lost forces of the Soviets have not reached the point of being damaged as a whole. Relying on the depth of the vast territory and the continuous potential for war, Fu Longzhi firmly believes that the final victory belongs to the Soviets.
At the beginning of the war, generals with the same views as Fu Longzhi in the Soviet Union had a great deal of interest. Almost no one thought that the Chinese would be able to continue to win the first victory. As long as the Soviet Union reacted and mobilized strong troops, it would be a matter of time before defeating the Chinese. Haven't you seen the precedent of Napoleon's galloping in Europe and eventually defeating Russia in the end? So Fu Longzhi on the front line just paid attention to the Chinese attack and continued to devote most of his energy to fighting the Far East government forces. After all, the opponent he faced was the Far East pseudo-government. As for the Chinese, there would naturally be wise Comrade Stalin to solve it.
But who would have thought that the world was changing too fast. Just as Fu Longzhi planned this major battle and was preparing to deal with the Far East government troops in front of him in one fell swoop, and then drove straight into the Far East and attacked the Chinese territory from behind, bad news followed one after another.
The defeat of the Battle of Krasnoyarques, Novosibirsk was occupied by the Chinese, followed by Tyumen and Orenburg... Just one month after the war started, the Soviets lost a large area of territory and hundreds of thousands of troops. Especially after the failure of the Battle of Krasnoyarques, the Chinese occupied the hub of the Siberian Railway. If Fulongzhi could not retreat from Surgut as soon as possible, his retreat route would be cut off and he would be attacked from both sides. The result can be imagined.
After the news of the Battle of Krasnoyarks came, Fu Longzhi was shocked. He immediately called for a stop to the battle that was almost ready and began to gather troops to organize the withdrawal. At this time, the Russian Far East government troops, who had been stably suppressed by Fu Longzhi, began to jump up and down like chicken blood, and frequently took the initiative to attack. It was obvious that they tried to entangle Fu Longzhi without giving him a chance to retreat smoothly and delay time. Thus, the Chinese team completely cut off the retreat route of Fu Longzhi's front, and then advanced east and west, and eliminated it in one go.
Of course, Fu Longzhi could see the enemy's intentions. For the safety of the large army, he decisively arranged three infantry divisions in the east to block the attack of the Far Eastern government troops. At the same time, he stepped up the retreat speed, and even issued an order to burn all the remaining materials, except for necessary military supplies, in order to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible.
On the day the formal retreat order was issued, Fu Longzhi's more than 400,000 troops began to retreat except for the three infantry divisions that were cut off. It was not enough for so many people to retreat in one go. In order to ensure the speed of the troops, Fu Longzhi also ordered the recruitment of all vehicles from nearby areas, and even the ox carts and horse carriages of farmers were taken to military use. Of course, this measure was opposed by a large number of local people and even caused a small riot. However, the unarmed people were not a match for the Red Army that was armed to the teeth? As long as there was resistance during the requisition, the Red Army units suppressed without hesitation, and countless unjust souls died at the guns of the Red Army for a while. Some troops even took this opportunity to burn, kill, loot, and do everything, causing great resentment from the public.
In Fu Longzhi's eyes, this is just a trivial matter. He can do anything to achieve his goal on the battlefield. Just like before, he used human lives to train troops, life in his eyes is just a number.
But even so, the retreat of Fu Longzhi's front army was not very smooth. On the one hand, the continuous attack of the Far East government troops, although Fu Longzhi arranged the troops to cut off the rear as cannon fodder. In this case, the morale of the Far East government troops was high and their combat effectiveness increased sharply. Compared with the political commissars who served as cannon fodder, the morale was declining. Under the opponent's attack, the opponent retreated step by step and was defeated. For this reason, Fu Longzhi could only add two more infantry divisions to reinforce to ensure the safety of the large army.
Secondly, although the retreat of more than 400,000 troops was accompanied by trains and various vehicles collected, it still couldn't meet the demand. Almost half of the troops could only rely on their own feet to rush on the road. Not to mention the difficulties along the way, they would occasionally encounter small groups of Far East government troops that appeared from north to south, which further affected their retreat speed.
"Comrade Commander! The train is ready, please get on the train as soon as possible!" Fu Longzhi stood on the platform, surrounded by fully armed guards, and the carriages behind were full of messy heads. There were countless soldiers rushing to climb up the carriage. The carriages were already crowded, and the doors were no longer closed. However, many soldiers still tried their best to leave here early and retreat to the rear to squeeze in. Some people climbed onto the roof and tied themselves firmly to the roof with armed belts, while others hanged on both sides with their hands and feet holding the protrusions outside the carriage...
The carriage prepared for Fu Longzhi and some senior officers and political commissars was the first section. This place has been completely blocked by the guards, and ordinary soldiers cannot get through at all. Looking at the scene behind, Fu Longzhi said nothing and turned around.
"How is Surgut's situation? Where did the Chinese fight?"
"Surgut has been bombed by the Chinese Air Force since yesterday, but there has not been any Chinese Army ground forces. It is estimated that the smooth operation of the railway in Surgut can be guaranteed at least in recent days, but..." a major general replied.
"How many of our troops have retreated to Surgut?" Frowning, Fu Longzhi asked.
"If you add a train, about 60,000 troops should arrive."
Hearing this number, Fu Longzhi looked sad, with 60,000 people, which sounded like a lot, but compared with the 400,000 front troops, it was not even a sixth. At this speed, it would take half a month to bring all the troops back, but can the Chinese and the Far East pseudo-government give him so much time? Fu Longzhi had no idea at all.
"How are the troops who are acting as interceptors fighting?"
"Comrades in the report, the comrades in the army fought very tenaciously. They fully carried forward the spirit of revolutionism. Under the call of Comrade Stalin, the comrades..."
"I don't want to listen to such nonsense! To be honest!" Fu Longzhi interrupted the other party's endless talk in displeasure. The other party swallowed secretly and replied with his head down, "The casualties are very serious, the enemy's attack is very fierce, and two division commanders have been killed. The five division troops on the mission have now lost almost half of them..."
"Where are their locations? Is the position still in our hands?"
"The position is still in the commander, and it is absolutely impossible for the troops to retreat without your order."
After a little relieved, Fu Longzhi said: "Send a report to the commanders and soldiers, telling them that they must nail it there firmly, and do not retreat at all. They must hold on for more than fifteen days. As long as they keep it for fifteen days, they will be the heroes of the Soviets!"
"Yes! Comrade Commander, hold on for fifteen days! I'll arrange a message immediately."
At this time, the locomotive sounded the whistle and the time for driving was about to come. Fu Longzhi looked back again, and then took the generals straight into the car.
A great retreat and great pursuit began in Central Siberia and Western Siberia. With the official dispatch of troops by the Chinese, the Russian orthodox government, which had experienced several years of civil war, finally saw the dawn of revival. The Baron, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, began to prepare after receiving the news that China had officially participated in the war. When Fu Longzhi's troops retreated, he began to attack the dogs with pain.
The Far East government forces, which were originally dispatched to reinforce and became their own friendly forces after the baptism of war, increased their strength greatly. They fought very well against the five Red Army divisions who were intercepting them. In addition, the Baron also sent small groups of troops to sneak into the enemy's rear to harass and intercept them to delay Fu Longzhi's footsteps.
In this case, the Baron did not advance rashly, but instead launched a tactic with the purpose of large-scale killing and delaying time. Because he knew very well that as long as he dragged Fu Longzhi's troops and waited to join the Chinese National Defense Force, as long as the opponent's retreat was cut off, these enemies would face the result of annihilation of the entire army. So at this time, he did not need to consume too much of the troops, and victory would also come soon.
When Fulongzhi withdraws troops, a place in the suburb of Krasnoyarques, thousands of miles away, was originally a military camp of Krasnoyarques. After the Chinese troops occupied it, except for using two reorganized divisions to search for the remnants of the Red Army after the battle, when all the enemies were cleared. After the city was restored to peace, the Chinese National Defense Forces, in addition to setting up a regiment of troops in the city and adding military police, most of the troops withdrew from the city one after another. As for the original Red Army barracks, the Red Army had basically been changed to prisoners of war camps, and of course, including here, after discussion by the group army, it was decided to become a place for temporary resettlement of the release of the labor camps. After all, it was no longer appropriate to let these people stay in the terrible labor camps at this time. With the exposure of the labor camps, journalists from all over the world rushed to come like flies smelling meat, trying to get valuable reports as soon as possible.
This military camp, which was converted into a shelter, housed nearly half of the release labor reform prisoners. Due to the long-term malnutrition and injuries, the Zhongzhang side specially set up hospitals and other facilities for them in the shelter, and allocated a large amount of food, medicine and other supplies.
"I've got the milk! I've got the bread!"
With a shout, the reform prisoners who were resting in the barracks walked out of the room in surprise and lined up in order to receive the food. More than ten minutes later, the first group of people who received the food returned to the barracks one after another. An old man in his 60s and with a white beard returned to the house with the food he received. He walked to the innermost bed, where a young man was lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped around his body, looking very hurt.
"Child, this is your portion." The old man approached, put half of the food gently on his bed, then sat on the edge of the bed and took his hand and sighed: "Poor child, God has not abandoned us. All nightmares have passed, and everything will be fine in the future! Damn Soviet! Damn Revolution! Damn Stalin! Damn Red Army, all these devils should go to hell...!"
