Chapter 1279: Party Army
After the formation of a large actual encirclement of Vladivostok in the northwest, it did not go any further, but on the contrary, it continued to maintain the original speed, slowly advancing, and every time it occupied a place, it relocated all the local personnel in large numbers, and the Siberian Military District did not know about this at all, and even if he knew, it would be impossible for him to stop it, for the simple reason that they could not stop it, although Vladivostok barely had enough arms with the help of Japan and the United States, but food was a big problem, and the entire vicinity of Vladivostok, 2 million people, plus the necessary citizens, almost 2.5 million, the daily consumption is almost astronomical, the previous war with China, 300,000 people were annihilated in less than a few days, this battle knocked out their final confidence, it can be said unceremoniously, they will be next, it must be a brutal siege war, in the siege, they may have very limited resources, or rather, there is almost nothing.
On the sea channel, blocked by the capital ships of the Northern Fleet, unless the main force of the US Navy comes, or the main fleet of the British Navy, otherwise 6 battleships, no one can do anything, Japan claims to be a naval power, there is a King Kong class are excited, and it was sunk in Shandong, and later Japan got the self-sustaining of Britain and France, but the strength of the navy can not be restored overnight, they barely recovered part of the heavy and light patrols, in the face of the strong Chinese Navy, there is no way, They didn't even dare to send a ship to this side.
Of course, the reason why Japan did not dare to send troops was because it knew that China had sent a large fleet to attack Russia, not because it knew that there were battleships inside. The news about the battleship is also known only to the people of the Far Eastern Military District. China created a cable telegraph that cut Vladivostok off from the outside world. Otherwise, Russia will make the news of the Chinese army public. It is extremely unfavorable to China, battleships are never a defensive branch, but an offensive branch, and if China has battleships, it represents a signal, a signal to attack outward.
This is very fortunate for China, which has not completely joined the world war at present, and China has already attacked outward in Southeast Asia as a whole. But after all, it has not gone beyond the scope of Asia, this is already a critical line, if it goes any further, I am afraid that the United States and Britain will rebound, except for Asia, either into the Pacific Ocean or into the Indian Ocean, the Indian Ocean is India, and the Pacific Ocean is the United States. Either way, they're going to have to deal with it, and when the time comes, there's no doubt about it. Will declare war.
Just to shoot at Russia, it can be regarded as maintaining a degree, in the attack on Siberia. In addition to the 450,000 people who formed an encirclement, there are almost 800,000 people left. Slowly moving forward, slowly controlling the whole of Eastern Siberia. Move all the people who can move.
Such a slow pace, slowly, the Far Eastern Military District also knows the actions of the Chinese, they do not understand why the Chinese will do this, but among such immigrants, they see an opportunity, the Far Eastern Military District thought a little, began to choose in the city, among the 500,000 citizens, only some of the necessary and young are left, and the rest are all taken out, and even among the army, some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, 1 million people, are cleaned up in such a step-by-step manner.
China saw Russia's actions almost immediately, and the Russians were throwing off their burdens, but these burdens were what China was willing to see, and sending these people to the Russian settlements was a matter of manpower, which could increase the strength of the revolutionary party, and even directly increase the number of revolutionary party troops.
With the tacit cooperation of both sides, Vladivostok has completed the burden reduction, and the remaining soldiers and civilians in Vladivostok have reached 1.5 million, and the number has decreased by 1 million, but almost everyone is a soldier, and the combat effectiveness and strength have also gone up a level, with 1 million fewer people, and the logistics and food have also been reduced a lot, which is a good choice for them.
After knowing that the Chinese army will not attack the city in a short time, the Russian army began to strengthen the defense of Vladivostok on a large scale, those unstable serfs, unsuitable to join the army, and those women and children were sent out, taking the initiative to let the Chinese take prisoners, since they can not contribute a little strength to defend the city, then let them go is the best choice, put them in the city, how can not create value, but waste food, the battle of Vladivostok, after the battle of Xingkai Lake, has become an absolute defensive war, Even the commander of the Far Eastern Military District could not see any hope, as long as next year, if the Russian army attacked Chita without success, he even thought of surrendering.
China is almost impermeable in its defense of Vladivostok, and the actions of the Russians of course they know that 1 million people can reduce the consumption of Vladivostok, which is not good for siege, but whether it is 2.5 million, or 1.5 million, or even more elite forces to defend the city, for the northwest, there is not much difference, just send the personnel out, if there is really only combat strength left, it is really easy to do, whether it is airships, artillery, or aircraft to carry out covering cluster bombing, they can be cleaned up.
A large number of Russian civilians, under the guidance of the Chinese army, along Siberia, slowly towards China, the closer to the Chinese border, the faster they walked, the long process of attacking Siberia, let the northwest engineering team follow up, now from the Russian-Chinese border to the north of 150 kilometers, has built a large number of railways and roads, from the domestic transport of logistics materials, by the way, on the way back, bring these refugees.
Together with those who retreated from Vladivostok, more than 7 million people throughout Eastern Siberia, of which more than 4 million, were taken away by Chinese troops, who first arrived in Harbin by rail, and then diverted through Harbin through the railway junction to Mongolia.
Different from the outer line, in China, the huge railway system, enough for anyone, through the railway line, easy to go anywhere, 4 million people although huge, but a train limit can accommodate 2000 people, 4 million people, that is, 2000 trains, this, for the northwest, is not difficult, in the whole 1 and a half months, from April to the eve of the arrival of summer, there are more than 500 trains every day, carrying full of Russians, towards Mongolia, Heading towards the western part of China.
In Mongolia, in the whole of western China, cities composed entirely of Russia were built one by one, starting from the city in central and eastern Mongolia that had been reserved for the revolutionary party, and with the experience of building this city, and then from some of the cities that had a foundation in themselves, slightly modified and handed over to the revolutionary party, and with the continuous growth of the number of people captured from Siberia, the population under the control of the revolutionary party began to skyrocket.
The number of such cities, from the first five, has increased to 15, and each city has about 500,000 people, that is to say, the population controlled by the revolutionary party has reached a staggering 7.5 million, and they do not have military force except for simple police, and all their protection is given to China, but near the Mongolian desert, in a huge barracks, there is a Russian army.
This is the Russian revolutionary party, with the support of the northwest, the formation of the army, in Siberia, the operation of the special forces at that time, not only rescued Stalin, but also rescued a large number of other revolutionary parties, for these people, the Chinese side did not do any screening, just let them get together, like raising Gu, put the poisonous insects together, and naturally give birth to the strongest.
The revolutionary party will be a pawn of China, and with China's current strength, it will not worry about being played by this pawn, so that the stronger the pawn, the greater the storm it will set off.
However, what Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect was that in this choice, Stalin still stood out, as a Georgian tough guy, he went to the end in a series of postgraduate examinations in the northwest, not only won the recognition and support of most of the revolutionary parties, but also won the recognition of observers in the west, and even entered the Northwest Military Academy for a period of 3 months of military training, enriching military knowledge, especially modern warfare.
Based on the standards of the second-line troops in the northwest, the establishment of the Russian Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which was selected among the existing personnel, was only around Chita before, and the previous prisoners, that is, less than 3 million, some of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, were reduced by more than half, plus the promotion of the Bolsheviks was not smooth, but about 70,000 people were formed, divided into 5 divisions.
China is quite supportive of the revolutionary party, these troops, almost give anything, the standard weapons of the second-line troops, a large number of instructors, and countless training opportunities every day, these are live ammunition, in the non-stop training, the strength of this unit is growing rapidly.
For this efficiency, China feels nothing, but Stalin is very excited, this is the victory of the Bolsheviks, the Bolsheviks from the founding, empty relatively strong reputation, but the strength has not been very strong, mobilize the masses of workers, has a huge influence at the bottom, but unfortunately there is no money, want to control several armies can not do, now, finally have a team, even if it is only 70,000 people, but it represents the seeds of the future Bolsheviks, for this, Stalin devoted almost all his energies to this contingent, which was named the Russian Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and not only took an all-round part in the construction and training of the army, but also established the party organizations at all levels on the army, with his henchmen and his followers, and the party branches on almost every company, and truly built this contingent into a party army.
