Chapter 455: All the way west

"Comrade Vasilyev, the people are looking forward to your performance behind your back!" The extraordinarily thin-looking political commissar looked at Vasily Yev, the head of the Red Eighth Regiment, with bright eyes, and said coldly.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Vasilyev straightened his body and replied solemnly, before he scolded bitterly in his heart.

The news of the advance of the vanguard army, they already knew. The scouts had also roughly inquired about the equipment of the vanguard troops. Of course, they didn't know that their throats had been locked by the dogs a few times, and if it hadn't been for Meng Xiang's order, they might have gone to Lenin to report before they saw the snow dust raised by the tank tracks.

But by the time they counted a hundred tanks from the vanguard, Vasilyev, who had been watching from afar, was already out of breath.

When he first heard that the vanguard army might be 100,000 strong, a cold sweat broke out on Vasilyev's head. He had long heard of the strength of the vanguard army, even if it was about the same level as the Central Army, the 100,000-strong army could crush their reinforced regiment. Although he withstood the test of the people, after all, he still maintained a little military rationality. Unlike the political commissar next to him, only fanaticism was evaporating in his head, and in order to maintain the honor of the Soviet Russian army, he asked him to defeat the vanguard army that rushed over.

Did he think that the vanguard army was all face-wrenched? Even if it's pinched, so much is enough for the Red Eight Regiment to die.

And the news sent back by the reconnaissance force made his heart half cold again. Combined, their entire regiment may not have beaten the vanguard of the vanguard army, and there are still 100,000 troops behind. Even if this 100,000-strong army is defeated, the vanguard army is already a million people.

Vasilyev helplessly struggled for a long time before he was ready to die heroically at the urging of the political commissar. But then the order from the higher authorities arrived: all provocations and attacks were strictly forbidden, and instructions for the next step were awaited.

Hearing this order, Vasilyev's heart was relieved, and he immediately ordered the Soviet soldiers, who had already seen the vanguard of the vanguard, to evacuate and return to the garrison to wait.

"These hairy people are running fast, I really want to beat them up to see if their tanks are powerful, or our tanks are powerful!" Wang Zhongfa muttered a little, wiped the snot dragged out, and couldn't help but scold again: "This ghost weather! ”

"Battalion commander, did you just let them withdraw?" The gunner next to him couldn't help but ask, he had already aimed at several targets in a row just now, but he didn't hear the order to open the cannon for a long time.

"Wait a little longer, there are still some issues being negotiated." Wang Zhongfa, who had already served as the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment of the 50th Division, also said helplessly, he was no longer the reckless man he used to be, and he knew the strength of Soviet Russia.

"Politics, it's politics, you know?" He bared his front teeth and looked at the retreating Soviet troops in the distance, and said unwillingly.

Without the obstruction of the Soviet Russian army, Hami attacked and went down, and after propaganda, almost everyone knew the benefits of joining the vanguard army. How many people can be willing to die for Sheng Shicai? The few remaining personnel can't stop the sharp Suomi, who is dead and descends. Hami is easy to get your hands on.

"Keep going!" After a night's rest in Hami, the vanguard of the vanguard continued to advance. The main force behind had also followed, resting while pacifying the people of Hami.

"The Russians are still a little unwilling!" Meng Xiang was not very happy to hear Hami's start at this time, "I have already warned the Russians, they are really as easy to bully as us and the Central Army?" ”

"Commander, we need to gain a foothold first!" Pharmacist Tang also seemed to sense the murderous aura in Meng Xiang's words, and hurriedly comforted.

"If you want to gain a foothold, you must first stand up. The Russians came over, just in time for us to come to Liwei! Otherwise, a lot of people will jump out in the future and want to provoke us. Meng Xiang said coldly.

Although the Red Eighth Regiment stationed in Hami by Soviet Russia was wearing the clothes of the Chinese army and carrying the signboard of the naturalized army composed of those White Russians, it could not hide their actual identity. Internationally, it is a serious act of military invasion for a country to repeatedly enter the country to fight and be stationed for long periods of time without the permission of the country's central government.

At the beginning, Meng Xiang didn't want Soviet Russia to alert the vanguard army to unfriendliness in advance. Only a vague warning was given, prompting the withdrawal of Soviet Russia from its troops. However, the Russians obviously had the mentality of luck and contempt for the Chinese army, and although they did not stop the vanguard army again, they still stayed near Hami and refused to leave.

"The Chinese people have always been timid, as long as we are in the barracks, they will not easily come to trouble us. They want to think about the strength of the Union State behind us. Vasilyev looked at the busy vanguard in the distance, and couldn't help but smile and said to the people around him. Taking the initiative to provoke may be counterattacked by the vanguard army, but at this time, they threw off Sheng Shicai, and the vanguard army naturally did not dare to come to the door. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so quiet for the past two days.

"Report to the head of the group, a group of Chinese people ran over." At this time, a soldier ran up and reported.

"Who?" Vasilyev said in a pinched tone.

"It seems to be some acquaintance in Hami City." The soldier worded. They were stationed in Hami and had a lot of dealings with those people. Some local officials quickly won over these Russian soldiers with food, drink and merry, and after a long time, some of them still remember their appearances.

"Oh?" Vasilyev touched his shaved chin and frowned in thought.

"Commander, they're still waiting outside!" A staff officer next to him also interjected. I didn't take less of those people's benefits before, so it doesn't matter if I take a sentence.

At this time, Vasilyev also saw those people, and also saw that the vanguard army behind did not chase after them.

"Okay, let them in!" He thought twice before agreeing to let the men in. Although the Soviet Russia temporarily retreated this time, it did not mean that they would give up, and they would need the help of these local snakes in the future.

"Wait a minute, if someone from the vanguard army comes to ask for someone, they will push it out and say that they have never seen it." Vasilyev turned around and instructed again.

But they did not wait for the vanguard to be questioned, but there was an overwhelming burst of shelling. After the main force of the vanguard army arrived, they opened their posture, and did not talk to the Soviet Russian army, but directly spoke with artillery.

Although the vanguard of the vanguard army had already begun to move forward, the attack of thousands of artillery pieces of the main force of the main force did not give the Red Eighth Regiment much chance to react at all. In particular, the 50 rocket launchers carried this time are worth the instantaneous attack of 800 heavy guns. A mechanized regiment cramped near the barracks had not even launched a counterattack, and most of it had already died in the flames that bloomed in the snow.

"They want to provoke a war. We will never let them go. "After the entire barracks was plowed over and over again by artillery fire, Vasilyev, who had a broken arm, fled from there with an army of less than a hundred men.

"What if there is a war?" Zhou Bai, who was far away in Qidu, was also very worried. Such a direct attack on the military camps of Soviet Russia is undoubtedly a clear declaration of war.

"Why is there a war? We are attacking the Tarbagatai Army. They were nothing more than a naturalized army of White Russians. Didn't the Russians declare those White Russians enemies a long time ago? Moreover, we have already reminded Soviet Russia that due to the banditry, the Soviet and Russian expatriates are vulnerable to the spread and their security is not fully guaranteed, and it is necessary to evacuate the overseas Chinese as soon as possible. Didn't those Soviet Russians have already replied, those White Russians are their class enemies. We helped them destroy the enemy, and they should be grateful to us. Meng Xiang smiled disappreciatively.

This attack was not a reckless act, and it was impossible for the Soviet Russians to dare to fight with the vanguard army when the German army on the Western Front was shocked in Poland and the Japanese Kwantung Army on the Eastern Front was still eyeing the enemy. At this time, the direction of the Germans' attack was unclear, and Britain and France were still instigating the Germans to continue to attack Soviet Russia. In the battle with the Japanese in the east, Soviet Russia won only a narrow victory. The Japanese are still holding their breath.

As long as Japan and Germany do not choose a new target, their attitude will never be clear. What's more, the battle with Finland continues, and the unfavorable situation makes it difficult for them to restart the war with the vanguard army with millions of troops.

Besides, this kind of thing was originally the fault of the Soviet Russians, and the vanguard army had also fulfilled its obligation to warn before. Although the Central Army avoided fighting with Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia was also trying to avoid fighting with China. At this time, Soviet Russia did not have many allies, and they were not as strong as in later generations.

"The final thing to look at is the strength of the country. Although our strength is not enough to defeat Soviet Russia, we can definitely break a few of his teeth. International exchanges do not need so much subtlety, and fists are the best answer. In just an hour we had wiped out one of their strengthened mechs, and they knew how to weigh it up. The son is used to bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Meng Xiang was also a little nervous in his heart, but his face was still understated.

At this time, the Russians were indeed weighing the newly received war report, and at the same time receiving the news of the destruction of the reinforced mechanical regiment of Soviet Russia stationed in Hami, they also received the good news from the vanguard army, which was nothing more than helping the Red Soviet Russia to eliminate the White Russian bandit army entrenched in China, and opened a good start for the friendship between the two peoples.

Slap in the face, full slap in the face.

But the reinforced regiment of more than 3,000 people was annihilated in an hour, and it really had to make the Russians carefully consider the strength of the vanguard army. Perhaps they didn't have too emotional understanding before, so they could only compare with the Japanese army. The Japanese army suffered heavy losses at the hands of the vanguard army, with losses of more than 300,000. And the Japanese-Soviet conflict in Manchuria, which has just ended, is not too different in strength. That is, the vanguard army was definitely not weaker than the Soviet Russian army.

At this time, with this latest comparison, the Russians suddenly found that if they wanted to fight the vanguard army, even if they needed a million, they were not necessarily sure. Maybe a million troops can attack, so what? That will involve the Central Army, and perhaps Britain and France will also be dragged in. They hesitated.

Even Stalin did not take the risk lightly. The Great Purge has come to an end and needs to be consolidated. He will not let go of his military power at this time and let some mountains revivenation. He has not yet finished clearing up the Central Asian region, and it also takes time, and at this time he has no more time to deal with Huaxia.

Besides, the vanguard army is not so easy to deal with. They also have the support of a copycat company behind them. Thinking about the huge power that would erupt from the sea of people in China with the guns of the copycat companies, Stalin had a headache. If it doesn't hurt the vanguard army, it's better not to fight. If you want to fight, at least wait until the war in the west is over.

It was not only the Germans who were taboo about fighting on two fronts, but also the Russians. At this time, due to ethnic cleansing, Central Asia was still unstable and could not support effective operations, and the Trans-Siberian Railway in winter could not smoothly guarantee logistics supplies, so the matter of retaliating against the vanguard army could only be postponed.

"If the war starts, we don't have so much strength to deal with a long border!" Pharmacist Tang still complained vaguely. In his opinion, Meng Xiang was too reckless this time. In his opinion, after a year and a half of forbearance, through negotiations, the Soviet Russians could naturally be driven out. Even if he attacked the mechanical regiment to express his dissatisfaction with Soviet Russia, but under Meng Xiang's order, he came up and annihilated the regiment.

If it causes a diplomatic dispute, I am afraid that a big war is really coming. Both the Northwest and the North were the weak points of the vanguard army. At that time, in the face of the double pressure of Soviet Russia and the Japanese, even if the vanguard army became stronger, it was easy to be dangerous.

"Let them station troops on our Chinese land, so that if we ignore them, then we still have the face to revive China? The Russians were given two warnings, and they ignored them, so we had to be rude. Sometimes, fists are the easiest way to solve a problem. This is recognized internationally. Meng Xiang once again emphasized that sometimes fighting makes the opponent more scrupled. Small weights also make it easy to determine the direction in which the balance should be tilted.

If Soviet Russia really fell out with the vanguard army, there would be no loss to the vanguard army. Soviet Russia and China fell out, and there were not many losses to the vanguard army. On the contrary, the way for the Central Army to collude with Soviet Russia may be broken. However, because of the infiltration of Sovietism, the relationship between Soviet Russia and Lao Chiang in 39 years also became somewhat estranged. In the territory of the Kuomintang region, there are constantly some small frictions between the Central Party and the Red Party. So Meng Xiang has been calculating repeatedly for a long time, it is better to be a little more high-profile.

The Russians were not really crazy yet. After careful consideration, they did not take advantage of this, and seemed to agree with the vanguard's statement of annihilating the White Russian bandits. At least for the next half month, they didn't make any noticeable moves. This made Meng Xiang, who was preparing for Soviet Russia to provoke incidents, also breathe a sigh of relief.

"Isn't it all over now? Others kill chickens and monkeys, let's kill monkeys directly to scare chickens. As soon as there was a dozen of the emperor-style mechanical regiments of Soviet Russia, the entire frontier was immediately honest. Meng Xiang smiled again.

It should be said that Meng Xiang's Liwei was a success this time, and the vanguard once again showed his strength, which was different from the previous strength.

"They went to attack the Russian army?" News like this has made a lot of people's jaws drop.

Although on the surface they were naturalized soldiers, everyone knew that it was the regular army of Soviet Russia, and the Central Army was blocked east of Hami with many concerns. And the vanguard army couldn't help fighting, and it was destroyed when it was said to be destroyed. Many people are also sweating in their hearts. But for many days after the news got out, the Russians did not react at all.

Although there was no Internet in this era, the delivery of information was just as well-informed. It didn't take long for many people to know the news. Some people who speculated that the vanguard army was involved with Soviet Russia also had a different view of the vanguard army, but some newspapers actually appeared in the news that they were scolding the vanguard army, an imperialist dog.

Speaking of doglegs, Britain and France really came to the door, and the contradiction between the vanguard army and Soviet Russia was also what they expected to see. At this time, they had not yet reached the time when they relied on Soviet Russia to involve the Germans, and in front of them, Soviet Russia was still their greatest mortal enemy.

Even the Japanese, after the vanguard army stabbed the Soviet Russian chrysanthemum, were excited. Although the vanguard army was also a sworn enemy of the Japanese, so was Soviet Russia. This allowed them to be liberated from the pressure of the Far Eastern Army that was fighting against Soviet Russia alone. The vanguard army went to the northwest to find trouble with Soviet Russia, which was exactly what they wanted, so during this period of time, they did not find trouble with the vanguard army. In their opinion, the War of the Three Kingdoms had more opportunities than for them to fight alone with Soviet Russia.

However, no matter how the outside evaluation was at this time, it could not stop the vanguard army from continuing to advance westward.

After the snowstorm stopped, the weather began to improve, especially in Turpan and other places, even in winter, it was not too cold. The march of the vanguard army couldn't help but speed up, and along the way, it was even more attacking and plundering the city.

"Isn't there no Russians, and you all become rice buckets?" Sheng Shicai put his hands behind his back and kept pacing anxiously. The vanguard army was about one day at a time, and the Russians were silent at this time, and it was after suffering a big loss at the hands of the vanguard army. He did not know that the Russians were still trying to figure out the strength of the vanguard army.

Through the conscious dissemination of the vanguard army, the intelligence network of Soviet Russia learned that the strength of the vanguard army may have exceeded 1.5 million, and it is still expanding towards the number of 2 million. Coupled with tanks and aircraft, this team, which is even stronger than the Japanese Kwantung Army, is definitely not something they can easily gnaw on.

So even after Sheng Shicai asked for help, Soviet Russia still maintained a certain silence, and they were still calculating the pros and cons.

"Don't wait, why don't you have to fight!" Sheng Shicai looked at his subordinates who hung their heads and said angrily.

"They have come thousands of miles to attack, where can we compare to our familiarity with the terrain? It's hard to walk after the snow, so it's more suitable for us to attack! The night attack after the snow is not impossible to break through in one attack! Yang Yaojun next to him said.

The unwilling Sheng Shicai readily agreed and directly appointed Yang Yaojun to command the battle.

The speed of the vanguard army increased, and the defense at night was naturally loosened. Originally, Yang Yaojun's idea was likely to make the vanguard army suffer a big loss, but what he didn't know was that the vanguard army was still carrying thousands of dogs on this march.

To the east of Dihua, the snow ambush organized by Yang Yaojun was discovered by the dogs in advance, allowing the vanguard army to seize the opportunity to fight a counterattack. More than 1,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 8,000 were captured, and the rest were defeated and retreated to the city of Dihua.

As a result, the vanguard army was even more powerful. However, because of the fear of Soviet Russia's retaliation, there are still people who keep thinking about being careful.

While some people were hiding from the vanguard like the plague, there were also many more who were on the move. It is also deeply suffering from the Russians, and the vast majority of people do not have much good impression of Soviet Russia. When the vanguard arrived with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, the gates of the city were opened. And a promise that he would definitely fight back to the Northeast also made the people of the Northeast Volunteer Army under Sheng Shicai suddenly win over the vanguard army, and it was when the vanguard army arrived under Dihua City.

At that time, the Middle East Road made the people of Northeast China have little affection for Soviet Russia. Earlier, the scourge of the Russians was even more shallow. Except for some of them, most of them were happily transferred to the vanguard army with better conditions. After Sheng Shicai fled in a hurry, he opened the city gates to welcome the arrival of the vanguard army.

"Continue west!" When Meng Xiang heard that Sheng Shicai had run away, he immediately ordered the troops to continue advancing. In order to avoid more disputes, it is better to occupy the borders. This time, the vanguard marched faster. In order to seize time, the vanguard troops were even divided into front and rear, and the tanks and tracked armored vehicles that were assaulting in front of them were speeding all the way to the west.

Sheng Shicai's team was scattered, and the ranks of Soviet Russia were also annihilated, and the fierceness of the vanguard army surprised others, and no one dared to risk the grandeur of the vanguard army to block the attack of the vanguard army.

When the vanguard army ran to Dushanzi, it ran into the Soviet Russian army again, but this time they were shining brightly. The purpose is to protect the oil resources explored by Soviet Russia near Dushanzi.

These are the contracts they have already signed with Shengshicai.

"Tell them that these documents of monastic benefits will not take effect without the permission of the central government." Meng Xiang directly lifted out of the central government. At this time, the simple vanguard army faced Soviet Russia alone, and it was somewhat weak.

"Still fighting?" The army at the front seemed to treat the small Soviet army as a piece of fat. The easy annihilation of a Russian army before made them a little proud.

"Waiting for new orders!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but say in annoyance. At this time, the Soviet Russians clearly revealed their identities, and naturally they could no longer take the form of a burst of shelling. This is where diplomacy comes in.
