Wang Maoru thought about it expressionlessly, now the situation is extremely favorable to the Volga Army, as long as nothing goes wrong, the 1st Army of the Soviet Army, which Tukhachevsky has worked so hard to build, will be wiped out in Berkrovsk, but this is also a question, will the destruction of the enemy's sharp army crush the enemy's sharp spirit at once? The Soviet army's vigor suddenly declined, on the contrary, the Russian army was vigorous, and it helped the reunification of Russia under the elimination of the other's strengths...... A divided and war-torn Russia is far better than a united Russia. It is a difficult problem to fight the Russians without killing them.

He looked at Chief of Staff Yaliskov and more than 20 Russian staff officers with excited faces, and thought that if Russia was reunified, with Russia's powerful ability to recover, it would definitely regain all the lost territory and dignity in the future. The reason why I want to send troops to Russia is because I want to win over Outer Mongolia, Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest, whether Russia becomes Tsarist Russia or Soviet Russia in the future, as long as these three places are brought to us, even the devil will cooperate with them. Wang Maoru stretched his waist, walked to the side of the map with baked potatoes, looked at the besieged enemy 1st Army, and felt that he was using too ruthless tactics - if the Soviet 1st Army really disappeared, would the Soviet army retaliate frantically, in the case of the Soviet Russians, they would definitely do it. Therefore, to fight the Soviet army, we must fight hard, teach them a lesson, let them hurt half to death, let them be afraid when they see themselves, but they can't be beaten to death with a stick, and if the Soviet army is killed, the former comrades-in-arms of Tsarist Russia will turn around and deal with themselves. Wang Maoru casually asked the Russian staff officers in Russian: "How is the battle of the third group?" ”

Yaliskov said: "Most of the two cavalry divisions of Turkestan in Soviet Russia were annihilated, and only one battalion of the enemy escaped, and now our Turkic cavalry division is pursuing it with all its might, but now there is a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Wang Maoru asked.

"The question of the command of the third cluster." "I don't think the Turkic cavalry would be willing to let a Chinese infantry commander be their commander, I know these Islamic Tatars," Yalikov said. ”

"What do you think of it directly, Your Excellency Chief of Staff Yaliskov, I like to go straight." Wang Maoru asked.

"Maybe you have Russian genes in your blood, you should look at the blood of your ancestors, because you are very similar to us Russians in this regard." Yaliskov laughed.

Wang Maoru waved his hand and said, "I'm a purebred Chinese." Counting upwards, since there is a family tree, there are no foreign species in the family, hahaha, sorry to disappoint you. ”

Yaliskov preached: "On the land of Russia. It is well known that the Tatars have always disobeyed orders. They have always had rebellious ambitions. For thousands of years, the Tatars have aspired to establish their own state, like the Turkish Empire. Once they are capable, they will definitely get out of your control, so I suggest that you should not indulge them too much or give them power. And it is too wasteful to hunt down a battalion of the enemy with an entire cluster. I built yì to split one Turkic cavalry division and supplement it to the other two cavalry divisions, and the rest to form a cavalry regiment. This cavalry regiment was used to continue the pursuit of the remnants of the rebels, and the other two cavalry divisions were thrown into the main battlefield. General Fei Chaogui was a qualified infantry general, but he was not suitable to command such a large cavalry combat group. ”

"Are you doubting Fei Chaogui's command ability?" Wang Maoru was a little angry, and he tried his best to maintain the dignity of his subordinates in front of outsiders. He was a marshal who did not allow his men to be criticized uncontrollably.

Seeing that Wang Maoru was unhappy, Yaliskov hurriedly explained: "I just doubt his coordination ability, not his operational command ability, a qualified marshal must be able to lead his army in addition to command ability." But obviously, the Turks will not obey the command of General Fei except for your command. Tsarist Russia ruled the Tatar steppes for hundreds of years, and the Tatars never really submitted. They are a group of Islamists who are difficult to communicate with and have strange ideas. As far as I know, the loss of combat effectiveness of your cavalry is quite severe, and I also have a plan, that is, to compress two Turkic cavalry divisions into one cavalry division, and the extra thousands of cavalry to supplement your cavalry units. I think Azarennu is an ambitious person. But there was no such great ability to command an army of three divisions. Maybe the ability can be cultivated, but I don't worry about his ambition to command a cavalry division, and I think this is the right position for him. ”

In fact, the question of Azarennu's loyalty is also a point that Wang Maoru is worried about. Azarennu came from an old Tatar aristocracy, and this time he led the crowd to vote for a benchmark. But no one expected that so many Tatars would follow him. And then this man with little ability suddenly became the leader of 30,000 Turkic cavalry - and more importantly, the relationship between the two sides was not so deep.

The strong relationship between Tsarist Russia and Wang Maoru was based on common interests, the Tsarist Empire was at its weakest period in history, and the Chinese intervention was gradually regaining the occupied territories by intervening in the Russian Civil War, although Wang Maoru knew that neither Tsarist nor Soviet Russia would give up their territory lightly. Although both Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia were talking about giving up their territory, judging from the fact that it took Tsarist Russia to return 3,600 square kilometers of land in Jiangdong's 64 tuns, it was obvious how difficult it was for them to give up 1 million square kilometers of land in the outer northeast and 700,000 square kilometers in the outer northwest.

One million and seven thousand square kilometers, equivalent to one-half of the territory of the Rì Hon, how could the Russians give up lightly. The two sides are also at odds with each other, and both have some flavor of conspiracy, but at least they now have a common enemy, Soviet Russia. Wang Maoru didn't know if he could win back the 1.7 million square kilometers of land in this way, he just hoped to win back the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest in a way, a way that could be tried. Especially in the Outer Northeast, the pain in the hearts of the Northeasterners, I don't know if people in other places can feel the same way, but any Northeast people will be willing to sacrifice their lives as long as they can regain the Outer Northeast.

He cooperated with Tsarist Russia in order to regain power and turn the tide in the Soviet war - but what about the Tatars? The Tatars have always wanted to get rid of the Russians, always wanting to create a state of their own. The Tatars can cooperate with Tsarist Russia, and they can also cooperate with Soviet Russia. Of course, the Tatars do not trust either side, after all, the Russians have used them countless times in history to raise butcher knives against them. Cooperation with the Chinese is also because the Chinese have never raised a butcher's knife against them, and the Chinese have no conflict of interest with them - but who can guarantee that the Tatars will listen to the Chinese?

The fears of Chief of Staff Yaliskov were not unreasonable, as a high-achieving student who graduated from the Catherine Military Academy in Moscow in the Tsarist Empire had no trust in the Tatars from beginning to end.

Li Jinglin, chief of staff of the 1st Division, returned from the battlefield to the rear command to report. He also submitted a casualty report and a summary of the battlefield, and in the six nights of defending the enemy's 1st Army and encircling and annihilating the 49th Infantry Division, the 1st Division suffered 2,300 casualties.

One tenth of the 23,000 casualties, Wang Maoru was silent for a long time. Asked: "How many people are directly ...... Fall? ”

Li Jinglin said to all the officers at the headquarters: "More than 1,100 people. Moreover, there are fighters who died of serious injuries and wound infections in the future, so this number is only at this stage. Li Jinglin also sighed, and then reported: "In this battle, our division conducted a post-war summary. Let me start by talking about the characteristics of the enemy army. They have six characteristics: first, the Soviet Russian army has strong fighting willpower, and they have a clear fighting purpose; 2. The core of the army is not the officers, but the political members of the army, and the elimination of its officers does not make it lose its combat effectiveness, and the elimination of its political officers does not make the unit surrender or defeated; 3. The enemy's weapons and ammunition are insufficient. In particular, the number of artillery pieces was small; 4. Eighty percent of the soldiers in the enemy units were captured by the Bolsheviks, and their fighting ability and skills were inferior to those of our army; 5. Its main assault force is cavalry, and the enemy is accustomed to using cavalry to raid to expand to the surface, but fortunately this time the enemy's cavalry was killed by us first; Sixth, the Soviet Russian army had poor discipline and tolerance, and according to the prisoners, they captured a large number of women to serve as military women. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Let's discuss, is there anything to add?" The generals discussed one after another, and Wang Maoru also called Li Jinglin over and exchanged views in private. Let's sum up the characteristics of the Soviet army. Everyone expressed their opinions one after another to supplement them, which was basically a sublimation of the summary of the 1st Infantry Division.

Wang Maoru nodded, suddenly raised his hand, everyone quieted down, Wang Maoru said, "Gentlemen." Now I have a question to ask. The officers and staff officers raised their heads and looked, and Wang Maoru said slowly: "Chief of Staff Li said that 80% of the Soviet army is a strong man? Then why did the enemy lose more than two-thirds or even three-quarters of his men in battle, or even the whole army did not surrender after being killed in battle? ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Or Li Jinglin said: "I think, for them. We are aggressors, and secondly, their political commissars have not been eliminated. ”

Wang Maoru said depressedly: "This political committee member is equivalent to a shaman, and it also has the function of boosting morale. Hehe, go ahead. ”

Li Jinglin said: "Next is the battle summary. He choked his throat, emphasized it, and said loudly: "These are all experiences and lessons that have been exchanged for the blood of our army, and I hope you will add them." First of all, our unit was not prepared for the enemy's tactics of the army, and although it gradually adapted to it in the later stage, it then developed an arrogant mentality. Second, compared with the enemy's Nakhimogan, our army's standard rifle is more powerful than the opponent at short range, especially within two hundred meters, but it is slightly inferior in long-range sniping ability, and our soldiers are often hit by the enemy at a distance of four or five hundred meters, which is extremely disadvantageous to our troops in the course of the confrontation. Thirdly, the weight of the grenades of our army was too large, and the number of grenades carried by the soldiers on the march was sharply reduced, and the grenades were thrown too closely. Fourth, our army's ability to rely on terrain defense and battlefield adaptability needs to be strengthened, and the first division of our army has carried out several battles in cities when it is at home, so it is not well prepared for operations in the grasslands and hills, and the number of engineer shovels is insufficient. Fifth, our artillery, especially the heavy artillery group, is very heavy and inflicted great damage on the enemy, so we will continue to strengthen our artillery strength and unify the use of artillery in combat. Sixth, when the enemy army fights with our army, the will to fight is also relatively strong, and some of the recruits of our army desert. Seventh, our soldiers are small in stature, and although their stabbing skills and melee combat skills are superior to their opponents, they are not suitable for white-knuckle combat with the enemy. The Russian is like a bear in physique and often does not fall down even after being stabbed in the body, while our soldiers are the opposite. Eighth, our army had inconvenient communication, which caused the enemy to infiltrate and break through the encirclement, which brought great losses to our troops. The above is a summary of the battles of the 1st Division of our division. ”

The officers listened to the discussions, and Xiong Bingtao said: "Xiu Shuai, the battle summary should be sent down as much as possible so that all soldiers can understand and grow." Wang Maoru nodded and said: "Okay, Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong, you are responsible for collecting a summary of combat experience, publicizing it to the whole group army, and mobilizing all the soldiers, everyone writes a battle summary, how to fight the next battle, and how to fight against the Soviet Russian army." There is also a quick selection of sharpshooters, using Mosin Nagant rifles, and training them to snipe enemy commissars. After Li Jinglin finished his report, he immediately returned to the front.

Wang Maoru stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The headquarters should be moved forward, this place is too far away from the battlefield." After the 6th Division and the Turkic Cavalry Division returned, the headquarters moved south. ”
