At a time when Japan was actively preparing for war with China, the Western coalition forces, led by the Russian army, reached the front line of the confrontation between the Soviet Red Army and the Russian government army.

The total strength of the first batch of coalition troops to enter Russia was 100,000, of which the French army was the largest, with 50,000 troops, accounting for half of the coalition army, followed by the British with 30,000 troops, plus 20,000 coalition troops from other countries. The level of armament was very high, especially the German army, of which 3,000 people, were all armed with the latest German MP18 submachine guns. The submachine gun was designed in 1918, the famous German weapons designer Schmansell, produced by the Bergman Military Factory, the gun fired 9 mm pistol bullets, although the range is short, the accuracy is not high, but it is suitable for individual use, with more fierce firepower, so it was quickly equipped with the German army. But the First World War was nearing its end, and it did not have time to exert its power. In the First World War, Germany was defeated, the German military industrial enterprises were seriously damaged, a large number of confidential weapons information was leaked, and the technical data of the MP18 submachine gun was also among them, but the countries of the world did not pay much attention to this kind of weapon that shoots closely, has low accuracy, and wastes a lot of bullets. This time, the German army, under the pressure of Britain and France, had to send 3,000 troops, and the weapons naturally used these fully automatic submachine guns. As for the heavy weapons of the coalition forces, Britain and France have equipped themselves with their own advanced tanks and aircraft, and other weapons are even more armed to the teeth. Although the strength of the army was only 100,000, the morale of the coalition army was very high. In their eyes, the Soviet Red Army was just a bun with a lack of weapons, and in the face of the blows of the machine guns and artillery of the coalition forces, it had only the fate of collapse.

Spkov, the bridgehead of the western part of Tsarist Russia against the Soviet Red Army. Here, 300,000 mercenaries of the Russian government army confronted the Red Army. As soon as the Soviets heard that the coalition had chosen this place for the first battle, they immediately sent Blyukhel, one of the three commanders of the Red Army. Originally, Blyukhel was in another battlefield, and naturally did not dare to slack off when he received orders, in order to lead the Red Army to block the attack of the Western coalition forces. In this area, the Red Army was relatively weak, with a total strength of only about 100,000 troops, and these units were not elite in the Red Army, and their weapons and equipment were not advanced.

The Soviet leadership attached great importance to the intervention of the Western countries, and the absolute strength of the Soviets was already weaker than that of the Tsarist government army, and now with the support of the Western countries, the form of the Soviets is even more difficult.

Command of the Red Army. Blyukhel is studying how to confront the Western coalition, but, no matter how he prepares, they are far from being vulnerable on this side.

"General, now there are 300,000 Russian troops in Spkov, of which more than 100,000 are combatable, plus the gap between the combined forces of Western countries and the enemy and our forces is even greater. And I've heard that the Western coalition has a lot of new weapons -- like tanks and planes -- that we can't deal with. General, what do we do next? The commander of the Seventh Army of the Red Army, Vishreksky, said in a deep voice.

"We only have 100,000 people, and it is definitely not possible to fight hard, and now we can only respond to all changes with the same." Blyukhel said. He did not pay much attention to the armies of Western countries, after all, the Soviet Red Army had not fought against them, and the Western coalition had not fought for more than two years. The Red Army, on the other hand, was always at war, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was even more difficult to compare.

"General, should we shift our positions and avoid the enemy's edge, the arrival of the Western coalition forces and the enemy will inevitably attack in a big way, plus we have stayed here for a long time, we must have been detected by the enemy on the other side. There is danger in staying still. Vishreksky suggested.

"Yes, let the troops pay attention, closely monitor the situation in Spkov, and report it as soon as the enemy has a tendency to attack." Blyukhel had the intention of testing the combat effectiveness of the Western coalition forces, so naturally he would not do anything to retreat without a fight. …,

As an important town in the northwest of Tsarist Russia, since the emergence of Soviet power, Spkov has hoarded a large number of Russian government troops here, although it claims to be 300,000, but the actual scale is not so large, coupled with a large number of defeated soldiers, wounded soldiers and new soldiers, which makes Spkov's actual deterrent level far less than imagined. This is also the fundamental reason why Spkov's defenders, with an army of 300,000, only dared to defend and did not dare to attack.

The coalition forces rushed to Spkov and did not set up their headquarters in the city, but outside the city. Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, Ferdinand. Marshal Foch immediately summoned Spkov's defender, Lancliffe, to understand the opposing tendencies. The Allied General Staff immediately drew up a map of the Soviet-controlled zone opposite.

"Commander, report from the rear that the field airfield has been basically completed, and our ten planes have arrived safely." The herald shouted.

"Very good, order the Air Force reconnaissance plane to take off immediately and go to the local area to reconnoitre, we need more detailed and accurate information." Marshal Foch said loudly.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch did not trust the news provided by the Russian side, because although Lancecliff claimed to be the commander of the 300,000-strong army, his straw air really made Marshal Foch's heart beat a drum.

Coupled with the arrival of the air force, Foch naturally wanted his own people to seriously investigate.

Hum -

The sound of the motor of the aircraft sounded over the positions of the Red Army, which aroused the curiosity of the Red Army soldiers. Many soldiers stood up in the trenches to watch, and some even cheered loudly, beckoning their comrades to look at the iron bird that could fly in the sky.

The new command of the Red Army.

"This is the plane of the Western coalition? Damn, they have such advanced means of detection. Unlike ordinary soldiers who cheered curiously, Blyukhel saw more of the danger posed by enemy aircraft.

"Vishreksky, at the same time, let your men shoot down these planes, and not let them have our intelligence."

"Yes, Comrade Blyukher." Vishreksky said loudly. He had no confidence in whether his soldiers would be able to defeat the iron birds in the sky.

Bang Bang!

Sporadic gunfire rang out from the positions of the Red Army, and the thumping of the fuselage of a flying lower aircraft frightened the pilot of the aircraft to immediately raise the nose of the aircraft and fly to a place where rifle bullets could hardly reach.

This time, the Allies dispatched a total of three planes, two of which were for low-altitude reconnaissance and two were on alert. The habits of these British pilots were learned during the war with China. After all, the elusiveness of Chinese aircraft has made them suffer a lot.

The counterattack on the ground apparently angered the arrogant British pilots in the sky, who began to drop bombs from high altitudes, strafing them with machine guns, and then, after throwing all the bombs and shooting all the bullets in the machine guns, they flapped their wings and flew away.

On the Red Army positions, on the other hand, the places where the soldiers were cheering were bombed, and the fortifications were blown up. But the death toll is not much. After all, the British army dispatched reconnaissance fighters, which were fast and nimble, but had very little bomb load. Otherwise the Red Army simply could not have been so easy.

The command of the Red Army, Blyukher's face was unusually solemn, and at the same time there was an indescribable grievance in his heart. The enemy is flaunting his might in the sky, and he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but it is difficult to pose the slightest threat to him. For the first time, Blyukhel had a fascination with airplanes.

"How's it going?" Blyukhel said when he saw Vishleksky walking in.

"Comrade Blyukhel, some of our fortifications have been blown up and some have died, but rest assured, my troops can bear these losses." Vishreksky said. …,

"That's good, we must calm the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, and at the same time strictly enforce military discipline, when the enemy plane appears, it must not reveal its own location, and when necessary, you can abandon the position to a place where the aircraft cannot threaten." Blyukhel said after a moment of contemplation.

"Comrade Blyukhel, I understand your concerns, but the soldiers of our Seventh Army are fearless. Even if the enemy is armed to the teeth, we are confident that we will drive them out of our homes with the weapons in our hands. Vyshreksky said confidently.

"Don't be careless, inform the reconnaissance battalion and pay close attention to the situation in Spkov, Comrade Vishreksky, I hope that you will use the local Soviet intelligence agencies to immediately probe the situation inside Spkov and find out the types and sizes of the weapons of the coalition forces." For some reason, the reconnaissance of enemy aircraft this morning made Blyukhel very uneasy. But he couldn't say what was uneasy about it, and now he could only prepare for protection wholeheartedly.

The coalition forces moved much faster than Blyucher had anticipated, and within three hours of the retreat of the coalition reconnaissance planes, 80,000 Russian government troops stationed in Spkov were ordered by the coalition forces to leave the city and attack the Red Army positions. The available troops of the entire Spkov are more than 100,000 people, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled. This is the information obtained by the coalition command after investigation. The Russian government troops that came out of Spkov were the elite troops that Marshal Foch had strictly ordered to use.

Under the double pressure of the Western coalition forces and the Russian government army superintendents, 80,000 government soldiers slowly charged towards the Red Army position. Immediately after the sound of intensive gunfire, the government troops at the forefront fell. This made the advance of the soldiers in the rear more cautious.

Da Da Da -

Heavy machine guns in the rear of the government army opened fire, suppressing and assisting the advance of the Russian infantry with firepower. At this time, the counterattack on the positions of the Red Army was also instantly strengthened. On this Western Front, although the Red Army's Seventh Army was backward in weaponry, it had plenty of ammunition. This is also an important reason why the Seventh Army dared to suppress the 300,000 Russian troops with a force of 100,000 people.

The Red Army's counterattack beat the Russian government troops to the point of crying father and mother. For the attack on the Red Army, the local defender of Spkov, Silancliffe, was reluctant, the Russians were arrogant and looked down on people from other countries, not to mention listening to their commands, if it weren't for the orders of Marshal Victo, Slancliffe would not have looked at the coalition at all, let alone dispatched elite troops as cannon fodder. The generals were unwilling, and the troops were naturally even more unsharp, and the combat effectiveness of the Russian army and the Red Army was about the same, but this one was unwilling, and the gap immediately widened. In two full hours, the Russian army launched four attacks, but without exception, all of them were defeated and retreated. On the side of the Red Army, morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers fought back more forcefully. 【Provided】
