The Northeast Field Army launched a northward sweeping campaign, relying on the numerous rivers of the three major river systems in Siberia, and the various detachments of the three detachments in the East Field basically cleared most of Russia's strongholds, fortresses, and wintering grounds in Siberia in just over three months.

During the battle, nearly 10,000 Russian soldiers, Cossacks, fishermen, hunters, and fur traders were annihilated.

Now the troops are being launched, and the various units are penetrating into Siberia in depth, striving to completely sweep away the Russian forces in Siberia before the onset of winter, and drive Maozi back to the area west of the Ural Mountains.

The rapid progress of this sweeping campaign also did not take the Military Commission into account. After all, the area of Siberia is too vast, and it is indeed surprising that the troops participating in the war in the East Field can achieve such results in such a short period of time.

The main reason is that all the strongholds of Maozi were built on the banks of the Ob, Yeseni and Lena rivers, as well as their main tributaries.

The three major river systems of Siberia and their tributaries are extremely abundant, and the rivers are generally long, wide, and free from turbulence. These rivers, together with their many tributaries, provided a natural network of arteries, which was why the Russians were able to conquer Siberia in such a short time.

The Far Eastern Army, with its advanced inland steam-deck barges, rode through the rivers of Siberia as if it were no one. Each river steam-deck barge was armed with a 70-mm infantry cannon and a twin water-cooled heavy machine gun, which could reach a maximum speed of 12 knots and travel nearly 500 kilometers in 24 hours a day and night.

Because of the good seaworthiness of the Siberian rivers, behind each of the river steam deck barges of the Far Eastern Army, a dozen unpowered barges were towed, loaded with officers and men, supplies, fuel and coal.

Each detachment participating in the war had more than a month's worth of logistical supplies. In addition, Higashino's logistics support troops also use the three major river systems and tributaries of Siberia to quickly transport supplies to the front line by using inland steam deck barges. The various sweeping detachments captured the Russian fortresses along the river, and were able to capture large quantities of supplies from the enemy to replenish them on the spot.

There were also a large number of airships, following the rear of the participating troops, hoisting all kinds of supplies. Replenish the front-line troops at any time. Therefore, in the course of the campaign, the troops basically did not have to worry about the lack of logistics materials.

The strength of the Russian Maozi in Siberia was originally insufficient, and the territory of Siberia was very vast, which also made the Russian forces in various parts of Siberia extremely scattered, and the distance between some points was even hundreds of kilometers.

The Far Eastern Army swept away a fortress, and even if they occasionally slipped through the net, they could not send the news to the nearest stronghold in time, because the Far East was extremely strong, and they all cast their nets in Siberia in battalions.

Maozi's slippery fish trekked through the vast forests of Siberia on its legs. How can there be a river steam deck barge of the Far Eastern Army. Therefore, the Russian strongholds in Siberia were knocked out one after another, and almost all the targets were that the Far Eastern Army had already arrived in the city, and they did not know where the Far Eastern Army was coming from.

Moreover, the Far Eastern Army has a huge airboat force, which absolutely controls the airspace of Siberia and can transmit all kinds of information back to the headquarters of the sweeping detachments in real time.

Even in the vast area of Siberia, the Eastern Field Command of the Far Eastern Army and the detachments of all directions can understand the situation in various parts of the battlefield through airships and modern communication equipment.

A large number of indigenous people from the Outer Northeast who migrated north. The village also followed the Far Eastern Army as a unit, and migrated thousands of miles to the north. According to the arrangement of the Far Eastern Army. Resettlement was carried out in various regions of Siberia.

The most important thing in Siberia is the forest, and in a very short time, a village made of woodcarved flutes can be built by the indigenous organizations of the Outer Northeast to log trees.

The indigenous villages of the Outer Northeast built in Siberia by the Far East are not just ordinary villages. Because of the complexity of the situation, each village has a wooden wall. It was equipped with a lookout tower, and a trench was dug around the perimeter.

The indigenous young people of the Outer Northeast are also equipped with front-loading rifled fire cap guns, which can be used for hunting in peacetime and as weapons in wartime. Each village is also equipped with several Tiger Cannons or Franky Cannons, which are surrounded by wooden fortified villages. and musket guns and artillery, enough to hold off thousands of local natives.

Siberia is rich in vegetation with tundra, forest swamps, taiga coniferous forests, forest-steppes and treeless steppes. From north to south there are tundra, forest tundra, forests, forest-steppe and steppe belts.

Siberia has good vegetation and a lot of animal food, so the number of animal species is significantly more than that in the tundra zone, such as nuts, berries, grass, etc., which are the food of squirrels, leopard rats, voles, etc., and these small animals have become the food of other animals, such as tigers, brown bears, leopards, wolves, wolverines, lynxes, sables, red foxes, etc.

There are more than 200 species of birds in the taiga, as well as a large number of sables, red foxes, lynxes, squirrels, etc., all of which have precious fur and are often called "soft gold".

The Siberian region is a vast region with rivers and lakes and reservoirs. With a total length of 150,000 kilometers and lakes of 6.7 million hectares, Siberia has excellent natural conditions for the development of freshwater fisheries.

It is also the largest freshwater fish production area in the former Soviet Union, accounting for more than a quarter of the total output of the former Soviet Union. Lake Baikal and the basins of the Yenisei and Lena rivers in Eastern Siberia are also important freshwater fish producing regions.

Countless indigenous people from the Outer Northeast have left the Outer Northeast, where they have lived for generations, to the Siberian region, where the climate is colder and the environment is even harsher and the environment is even harsher, not only will not affect their lives, but their lives will be better.

First of all, the hunting area of each village has expanded more than ten times, or even dozens of times, in an instant. Moreover, the forest coverage rate of Siberia is much higher than that of the outer northeast region, and all kinds of flora and fauna, all kinds of fish in the river, as well as various fungi and mountain goods in the forest, are also much richer than that of the outer northeast region.
