Chapter 539: The Battle of Karachinsk

readx; In a meeting room in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in the gray complex west of the presidential palace in Nanjing, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang is making the harshest protest to the head of the office of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this time, the Russian Soviet Union was not the Soviet Union but the Soviet Russia, and the current Soviet Russia is still implementing the Soviet Constitution promulgated last year, so the Soviet Constitution in preparation has not yet been completed.

Although Soviet Russia was actually in a hostile relationship with the Republic of China, and China and all other countries in the world did not recognize Soviet Russia, let alone establish formal diplomatic relations, no matter what it looked like, some communication actually existed, and a large number of diplomats were sent to China throughout the year in order to compete for China's support. Dealing with China's foreign affairs, China also has an office in Soviet Russia in Moscow.

Although Wu Tingfang is old, his words are still sonorous and powerful: "Our political axe expresses serious dissatisfaction with your practice of encircling our peacekeeping forces in Russia in Karachinsk! I hope you can face up to the reality of the problem and work with us to solve this incident! ”

The person in charge of the Soviet Russian office in China was a middle-aged man with a full beard, and he also said unceremoniously: "Your [***] wanton entry into the border of our Russia has seriously violated our sovereignty!" To enter our country without the permission of our Soviet political axe is to invade our country! ”

Wu Tingfang didn't have any expression when he heard this, but said to himself: "I[***] Fang entered the territory of your country at the invitation of your legitimate central political axe, the Russian Provisional Political Axe, and ensured the safety along the railway!" ”

The representative of Soviet Russia also immediately refuted......

While these diplomats were engaged in pointless bargaining, the Chinese side was working to free the besieged 1812th Infantry Battalion and the 26th Reconnaissance Wing.

At the headquarters of the 18th Division of Novosibirsk, Wen Jizhong said with a stern face: "The president has personally sent a telegram asking our division to quickly carry out rescue work on the 1812 infantry battalion, although the main force of our department is thousands of miles away from Karachinsk, but Commander-in-Chief Li has communicated with the Russian Defense Forces, has prepared enough train wagons and ensured smooth all the way, now what we have to do is to board the train to help!" ”

"Now part of the troops of the 181st Regiment have rushed to Karachinsk in advance, but their regimental headquarters is not equipped with heavy firepower, and the local Russian army has no other main forces except for Omsk after the two divisions in Karachinsk were defeated, and the Russian army on the Omsk side has repeatedly promised to send troops to rescue, but their frontal once again encountered a fierce counterattack by the Soviet Russian army, and a slight retreat is a situation of complete collapse, so now they can't count on it!" Wen Jizhong continued: "I have recently sent a telegram to Hong Xiangzhi, asking them to hold on for five days no matter what, and the main force of our army will definitely arrive within five days!" At that time, in addition to our 18th Division, the 7th Division of our army will also arrive later! ”

In terms of the capacity of the Far Eastern Railway, it is already the limit to transport nearly 30,000 people of these two divisions to the front line of thousands of kilometers in a short period of time, in order to mobilize capacity, the Russian Provisional Political Axe has raised a large number of train locomotives and wagons, and has stopped all passenger and freight trains. Although the Russian Defense Forces have also hoarded a lot of combat materials in Omsk, once the supply line is completely cut off and the logistics supply line is lost, then in the face of the enemy's east and west fronts, those combat materials will not last long, and if one is not good, the whole army will collapse, if it is not for the lack of Russian troops, there is no need to spend great efforts to transport the Chinese [***] team thousands of kilometers away to Karachinsk.

Shut down

Limited by the lack of population in the Russian Far East, the total number of troops of the Russian Defense Forces in the Far East has not been able to rise, only a hundred thousand at the beginning, and only about 400,000 after the expansion of the army in the past two years, and the Soviet Russia, which inherited most of the population and resources of the Russian Empire, even if it ceded nearly half of its population and resources to Germany, has a population of tens of millions, and the population under the jurisdiction of the Russian Provisional Political Axe in the Far East is not even 6 million. The reason why they were able to make up these 400,000 troops was because they accepted many of the routs of the former Russian era and the many forces that resisted the Soviet Union in the past two years gradually retreated eastward and slowly gathered in Omsk, otherwise with their population base of less than 6 million, it would be difficult to make up even 100,000 troops.

The great disadvantage of the population made it almost impossible for them to admit the collapse of the 400,000-strong army, and once it failed, even with the support of the Entente bloc, China had a large number of weapons to send, but they could not find so many soldiers to take up arms to fight.

Correspondingly, the total strength of Soviet Russia has exceeded one million people, and many of them are deployed on the borders of Ukraine and Poland and the local rebels in Finland to fight, you must know that the biggest enemy of Soviet Russia is the Russian Defense Forces, but their enemies are not only the Russian Defense Forces, there are also seven or eight other rebel forces, and now Russia is full of gunsmoke.

The Russian Defense Forces themselves are short of troops, so they put the hope of a counteroffensive Karachinsk to reopen the supply line to Omsk on China.

In fact, the current situation has gone beyond the agreement between China and the entire Entente bloc at the beginning, and the original agreement was that China sent troops to help Russia suppress the situation and maintain stability, but it did not say that China would send troops to directly engage Soviet Russia. Although many Chinese have decided that it is worth fighting Soviet Russia for those 1.5 million square kilometers of land, this is not in Chen Jingyun's consideration after all.

If the Chinese [***] team wants to fight hard against the Soviet Russian army in the ice and snow, it is difficult for Chen Jingyun to win without actual interests.

Therefore, under Chen Jingyun's instructions, in addition to quickly launching rescue work, Chen Jingyun also urgently met with two old Chinese friends, British Ambassador to China Zhu Erdian and US Ambassador to China Dorching.

"As you all know, the current situation on the Russian side is very bad, and once our army is also engaged in fighting against Russia, it will inevitably attract most of our country's energy, and how can our people's livelihood and economy be guaranteed at that time? How can the livelihood of the families of the fallen soldiers be guaranteed? Chen Jingyun talked generally.

However, Zhu Erdian still maintained his expression and image as a professional diplomat, and only after Chen Jingyun finished speaking did he speak: "The British Empire will not forget your country's contribution to the people's sovereignty and peace of the world." Although the current situation in Russia is a bit more than the agreement of the countries at that time, it is still possible to modify these agreements to make them more suitable for the current situation! ”

Dao Erqing also said unequivocally: "I have been authorized to send troops to Russia for your country, and on the basis of the original agreement, I can send another 30 million US dollars in military aid!" ”

"This is a war of intervention at the expense of Britain, France, and the United States, and the intervention of China, and the evil imperial 'clique of the Entente's imperialists' in vain trying to strangle our great Soviet in the cradle! The great Comrade Lenin is calling all the comrades of the Social Workers Party to take up your guns and fight against the imperialist aggression! "This is the official mouthpiece of Pravda, the official mouthpiece of Moscow, which has published as harshly worded as all previous reports, after learning that China had officially launched a large-scale mobilization and had decided to send an additional corps to Russia up to four divisions!

China and Britain, France, and the United States quickly reached a secret agreement, and Ben was as seriously dissatisfied with this agreement as the Soviet Union, or rather, "Ben's army was seriously dissatisfied with this agreement, and at the end of 1917, it was said that "Ben and China sent troops to Russia at the same time, and China sent troops from land in the direction of Vladivostok and Lake Belga, and Ben sent troops to occupy all of Sakhalin Island, in addition to sending a brigade to land in Vladivostok, and because in the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nanjing, Russia said that the territory returned to China also included the northern part of Sakhalin, Because there have been several diplomatic disputes between China and Sakhalin in the north of Sakhalin, Chen Jingyun did not expect to be able to take Sakhalin back from Sakhalin now, and these protests are nothing more than proof that Chen Jingyun has not given up these places.

And this time, when China and Britain, France, and the United States reached an agreement, they excluded the word "Ben", which made the army that had always wanted to go north very dissatisfied, but this kind of dissatisfaction protest was also protested, and if there was no army in the back of the diplomatic protests at any time ready to attack, then these diplomatic protests would be as useless as farting, and now China says that there is no sign of war against each other, so whether it is China's protest or this protest against China, it is a face-saving effort. It doesn't actually affect anything.

With the large military spending provided by Britain, France, and the United States, the Chinese troops quickly began to mobilize and prepared to send another army into Russia.

At this time, in Karachinsk, east of Omsk, Hong Xiangzhi looked at the explosions and fires that kept coming from afar with a calm face.

"I originally thought that those Russians would be able to hold it, but I didn't expect that these nests, a whole regiment of more than 2,000 people, couldn't even hold a railway station!" The Chinese army captain next to him cursed, his hands were already mixed with gauze, and he was obviously injured.

Hong Xiangzhi said: "The total strength of the enemy army is more than 30,000, and there are at least 35,000 people assigned to attack the railway station, so it is normal for them to be unable to hold it in this situation!" ”

The captain next to him said: "Battalion commander, now those Russians are estimated to be unable to count on it, and they can't break through and rush out, what should we do when the time comes?" ”
