There were only three real wars between Russia and China, the first battle for the Eastern Railway, Wang Maoru led the Heilongjiang Army at that time to attack the Russian Eastern Railway Command, and at that time sent people to secretly sabotage the train artillery, the whole people sāo disturbed, and the Russians could not give full play to the advantage of artillery fire, and recovered the Eastern Railway in one fell swoop, and in this way really rose into a powerful warlord. The second Sino-Russian battle took place when the Chinese Beiyang Army intervened in the Russian Civil War, and Wang Maoru led his army into Russia and participated in the battle against Soviet Russia with the Tsarist army. They fought a great battle with the Russian army in Saratov and defeated the Russian army, but at that time the Chinese army was a combined Sino-Russian army, not a simple squadron. Many tough battles were fought by the Russian army, and the squadron in the later period took the initiative to hand over the main battlefield to the Russian army because of casualties. The third Sino-Russian conflict was the entry of the White Tiger Regiment of the Chinese National Defense Forces into Central Asia last year, which swept all the way through Central Asia by Soviet and Russian guerrillas, Russian infantry, Russian bandits, local Kazakh tribal forces, etc., and then occupied the entire Central Asia.

These three battles were not recognized by the Russians, nor were they sufficient to reflect the disparity between the Chinese and Soviet soldiers, so Trotsky's speech to the Supreme Military Council led more than half of the members of the council to believe that the squadron should be tested at least by a war.

Under Trotsky's lobbying, even Stalin felt that the Chinese should be taught a lesson. However, Zinoviev believed that if there was a conflict with the squadron, once the Soviet army was defeated, it would not only have an extremely bad impact on the policy of the Far East, but also affect the development of the entire Soviet empire. Stalin and Bukharin also took the opportunity to jump out, arguing that someone should be held responsible for the victory or defeat of this battle. Command indiscriminately when you can't win, shirk responsibility when you lose - they point straight at Trotsky.

How could Trotsky not understand what they meant, and he immediately announced it at the Supreme Military Council of All-Soviet Russia. Blyukhel's strategy in the Far East was under his command, he was willing to bear the consequences in power, and his Red Army soldiers would never be defeated by the despicable Chinese. The Supreme Military Council then sent a secret telegram to Blyukhel, allowing him to use a "conflict" attack on the Chinese Wehrmacht, while Trotsky's telegram told him more directly that he must win all of them, and that your future and I depend on this campaign. Trotsky even allowed him to keep Kolchak with him and to reorganize the Tsar's Guard for his own use.

Russia chose to fight. But where to choose the battlefield is not their decision, under the framework of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, the Chinese are gradually ceding Central Asia. It will take time – more specifically, for the Chinese to have enough time to bring the looted goods back to their own territory. Therefore, the Chinese are not in a hurry to retreat and choose, but the Russians are in a hurry, and the Chinese are in a hurry to deliver Central Asia a day later. then the Russians lost one more day. In běijīng. Ambassador Yulin met with the Chinese Foreign Ministry several times and demanded that Central Asia be delivered to the Russian Republic. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Gu Weijun has also repeatedly said that the return of territory cannot be achieved overnight, and there is still a lot of survey and material transfer work to be done, which can be completed by the end of the year at the earliest, which has caused great dissatisfaction in Soviet Russia.

With regard to the strategy in the East, after much discussion, Trotsky also listened to the advice of Blyukhel in front and decided to attack in two places, the first being Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, occupied by the Chinese. The other is the Fortress of Kreuz, the heart of Central Asia - its other name is the city of Kreuzorda.

Trotsky gave Blyukhel full power to make strategic adjustments without the consent of the Supreme Military Commissar. But as the supreme commander of Soviet Russia, the conflict in Soviet-Finnish territory in the north was intensifying, and the hateful Poland was also in turmoil, with Poland banning the Polish General Labor Union last month, expelling many Russian-Bolshevik party members, and the Polish Army's stupid intentions. Since the Polish-Soviet border was only a hundred kilometers from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, Trotsky also asked Blyukher to send a certain amount of reinforcements to Europe in order to consolidate the European territory of Soviet Russia.

Now Blyukherr had 30 divisions in his hands, including 5 cavalry divisions and 25 infantry divisions, and after consulting with his subordinates, he believed that more than 300,000 people were not needed to liberate the East, especially since the Soviet-Finnish conflict was indeed very urgent, and Stalin, Zinoviev, and Bukharin's face was no longer given, but Trotsky's demands could not be accepted. So Blyukher divided the army into three, three infantry divisions (66th, 67th, 69th infantry) about 25,000 men withdrew to support St. Petersburg, and three infantry divisions (5th Siberian Infantry Division, 1st Tatar Infantry Division, 42nd Infantry Division) about 20,000 men were handed over to Zherimsky, bringing the total strength of Zherimsky's army to 50,000 in recovering Eastern Siberia.

After the reorganization of the troops, Blyukhel had 19 infantry divisions and 5 cavalry divisions totaling 250,000 men, but Blyukhel had a heart, and he obeyed Trotsky's construction to reorganize the Tsar's Guards Brigade into six Sakhalin infantry divisions with a total of 50,000 men. In order to be able to control this force, Blyukhel persuaded Trotsky to agree to keep Kolchak as the nominal commander of the force. And most of this army was already war-weary and did not want to continue fighting, and many of them really just wanted to live in peace, they did not like the Bolsheviks, and even opposed them. So much so that Blyukhel sent hundreds of Bolshevik commissars to these people, and they drove them back. In order to control them, the infantry division was armed only with pistols, rifles, and bayonets, which could only be used as a supplementary force.

The twenty-four Red Army divisions left behind by Blyukherr are nineteen infantry divisions: the 1st Smolensk Infantry Division, the 4th Petrograd Infantry Division, the 1st Siberian Infantry Division, the 5th Infantry Division, the 24th Simbirsk Iron Division, the 27th, 29th, 30th, and 41st Infantry Divisions, the 31st Turkestan Infantry Division, the 22nd, 27th, and 35th Siberian Infantry Divisions, the 51st, 59th, and 62nd Infantry Divisions, the Yenisei Infantry Division, the 3rd Ural Infantry Division, and the Third International Infantry Division. Five cavalry divisions: the 13th Cavalry Division and the 17th Cavalry Division, the Ural Dúlì Cavalry Division. Kazakh dúlì cavalry division, Cossack Far Eastern cavalry division. Together with the six infantry divisions of Sakhalin, the total strength of the Central Asian cluster of the Russian Eastern Army Group reached 300,000 again.

Blyukhel was ambitious. At the same time, he also knew that his 300,000-strong army would not only determine the fate of Soviet Russia in the Far East, but also the fate of him and Trotsky, and he immediately convened a military conference to prepare for an attack on China and Central Asia.

According to the reports of the surrendered personnel of Tsarist Russia and the analysis of Soviet and Russian intelligence officers, the squadron was mainly composed of three corps and a large number of supplementary regiments, which were actually second-line militias, and would only be replenished into the army after the loss of the main corps. The Chinese army is concentrated in several places. There were Almaty, the core cities of the Western Regions Military District, the fortress of Kreuz, as well as the cities of Balkhash and Sharon, while Askana, which the Russians considered very important, did not have many squadrons stationed. It's just that the Chinese took everything valuable and valuable from Ascan before leaving. The city of Ascana is left with nothing but hollows. Even the Chinese dismantled all the railways between Ascana and Balkhash, and they used them to build the railway to Akdouka and then to Almaty, which is the capital of the province of Tessy.

In the intelligence of Soviet Russia, the Chinese arranged their forces: stationed the Jiaolong Army in Balkhash. In Akdouka is stationed the Yellow Dragon Legion. Although the 32nd Division (under the White Tiger Army) is also stationed in Almaty, there are nearly 40 reserve regiments with a total of 100,000 reserve militia units (originally there were only 16 reserve regiments in the Western Regions, but when the war came, the Han male xìng immigrants in the Western Regions received a conscription notice and temporarily formed 40 reserve regiments as supplementary troops). A 3rd Division (under the White Tiger Regiment) was stationed at the Kreuz Fortress, the 31st Division (under the White Tiger Regiment) was stationed in Bishkek, and in Breerbaitak, a very inconspicuous town at the southernmost tip of Lake Balkhash, Chinese the city of Sharon, Chinese stationed the most powerful 10th Division (under the White Tiger Regiment) and the 16th Cavalry Division (under the White Tiger Regiment) and nearly 30,000 Han militia reserves.

The location of Dragon City is very important. The railway runs north to Balkhash and south to Bishkek. To the east is the Gertau Mountains, and after crossing the Gerrtau Mountains is the Chu River, along which you can directly reach the Kreuz Fortress, and the Dragon City takes only four hours to reach the rear base camp Almaty by railway to the west.

Obviously, the Chinese use railways as the main line to link the entire Western Regions, and from August last year to April this year, 600 kilometers of railways were built in just eight months, and together with the 800 kilometers of railways in Central Asia, a 1,400-kilometer Central Asian artery was formed.

What made the people of the Soviet Russian Empire even more angry was that the 600-kilometer railway track built was not produced and purchased by the Chinese, but was removed from the tracks of the Russian Central Asia Railway and the Central Siberian Railway. The workers who built the railroad tracks were the non-Yellow Sè ethnic groups who enslaved the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Turkmen, Tajiks, Russians, Tatars, Vuls, Uzbeks, Ukrainians, Chechens, Bashkirs, Persians, Gypsies, Kurds, Armenians, etc. in Central Asia.

The Chinese despicably built a railway belonging to the Chinese with Russian resources and manpower to defend the Chinese's Western Regions. Countless cases are proving that the Chinese have made Soviet Russia zhèngfǔ an empty shell of foreign powers, they are vampires, they are leeches! Wang Maoru's ears have been hot for the past few days, as if he also felt that many people were cursing him.

Studying the center of gravity of the Chinese's defense, Blyukher argues that the Chinese actually defended with the northern provinces of Taixi and Longcheng as the strategic core, especially the Taisi province placed two legions, while the more southerly Anxi province only had one corps deployed. If you want to completely swallow the Western Regions, you must first drag Tessie's two legions and eat one of Anxi's legions.

Immediately, Blyukherr decided to divide the troops into three routes, one with Saragaev forming the left flank to contain the two corps of the squadron in Tessi Province, and one with the troops formed by Melnikov forming the middle force as a feigned force, marching towards the Chinese Dragon City, forcing the Chinese to tighten their troops in Anxi Province, and he led the right wing troops to directly capture the Kizil fortress in the heart of Central Asia in 3-5 days. Later, taking advantage of the fact that the Chinese did not react, the main force of the right wing captured Tashkent and Bishkek along the railway, bypassed Longcheng and captured Almaty, the core of the Western Regions, surrounded the squadron's troops in Longcheng, and completely annihilated the White Tiger Army. Subsequently, the main force of the Soviet army circled from south to north from Almaty to behind the two corps in Taisi Province, completely annihilating the Chinese troops.

The role of the containment troops on the left flank of this plan and the feigned troops in the middle was particularly important; first, to hold back the enemy's large forces, and second, to make the Chinese mistakenly believe that the strategic target of the Central Asian cluster of the Eastern Army was Longcheng, so as to force the Chinese to concentrate their forces.
