Volume 3 Miracles of the Ages Chapter 517 The Origin of the Dead City

The hot-tempered young Tukhachevsky, who silently endured injustice and suspicion like Gay, angrily accused Frunze of only dealing with his own people and doing nothing against the White Russian bandits. Frunze was only thirty-four years old, and his temper was not small, and the Russian character was so impatient that he directly smashed the baton on Tukhachevsky's body and said angrily: "Haven't you realized your mistake yet? You are absolutely responsible for the misery of the First Army and the capture of Zinoviev! ”

The so-called beating people without slapping people in the face and scolding people without revealing their shortcomings, Frunze can be regarded as touching the softest place in Tukhachevsky's heart, and the miserable whiteness of the First Army is a lingering shadow in his heart. Tukhachevsky stopped cursing and jumped directly on the table and rushed to Frunze, but fortunately both of them were pulled away by everyone.

Military Council member Smirnov harshly criticized Tukhachevsky's reckless behavior, and the commander of the 4th Army, Avksentievsky, also supported Frunze and criticized Tukhachevsky, but Baranov, commander of the Turkestan Army, supported Tukhachevsky, believing that the commander should not be changed at this time. Subsequently, General Gay, the most experienced in the Russian army, and Tukhachevsky, the most courageous in battle, were invited back to Moscow by the Cheka personnel sent by Lenin for investigation, and Frunze finally took the absolute leadership of the Eastern Front in the Southern Campaign Group.

At this time, the remnants of the Soviet 1st Army, the 4th Army, the 5th Army, and the Turkestan Army gathered around Saratov, totaling more than 300,000 people, while the Volga Army in Berkrovsk on the opposite side transferred the reorganized Third Army to support Berkrovsk after the Tsar supported the Czech Corps. At the same time, the 7th Division of the Japanese Intervention Army also arrived in Berkrovsk at a rapid pace.

The Volga Army now had nearly 300,000 troops, and Wang Mao ordered the merger of the Second Campaign Group and the Third Campaign Group into a new Second Campaign Group, which was responsible for clearing the remnants of the enemy's 1st Army in Berkrovsk. And along the coast of Berkrovsk, relying on cavalry patrols, the city of Berkrovsk was held to the death.

Airship units also took off to monitor the surface of the river to see if Russian troops were smuggling across the river from elsewhere.

Frunze's army is in formation, Wang Maoru's army is also in formation, and now, the Soviet military genius and Wang Maoru, who has a group of military geniuses, are about to fight it out. But what puzzled the officers of the Volga Army was this. According to the spy personnel, it turned out that there were contradictions within the top military management of Soviet Russia, and the morale of the army was unstable, especially the officers of the 1st Army and the 5th Army, who were very dissatisfied with the attitude of the commander-in-chief Fu Zhilong and secretly resisted his orders.

Now the two sides are relaxed, of course, because the two sides have been facing each other long enough. The most exciting thing at this time was that the British actually landed in Alastkhan on the Caspian Sea and sent Turkish and Iranian warships up the Volga River. Approaching Tsaritsyn. The Iranians and Turks originally had a grudge against Tsarist Russia, but now they have also joined the intervention army in the spirit of taking advantage of the fire.

The biggest benefit that the British brought to Wang Maoru was that they brought a large number of arms, seeing that the squadron was short of bullets, the British boldly landed in the Caspian Sea at this time and said that Iran and Turkey intervened.

But what made Wang Maoru unbearable was that the supply in the rear was once again interrupted, and even the supplementary soldiers were strictly insufficient, and even a battalion of supplementary soldiers was ambushed by the Soviet Russian guerrillas and was wiped out. Wang Maoru demanded that the first guarantee be the supply of ammunition and medicine for the intervention army. As for the supply of soldiers, it can be later. It can be said that to go to Russia to intervene in the operation, the squadron must first overcome the long supply lines before it can defeat the infinite Russians.

After learning that the British had landed in Alasthan, the port of the Volga River into the Caspian Sea, the Southern Campaign Group of the Eastern Front of Soviet Russia immediately stopped quarrelling, and Frunze regained absolute leadership.

Frunze believes that this wide Volga in the middle of Berkrovsk and Saratov, despite the protection of the river flotilla. However, the enemy can concentrate superior forces to concentrate on destroying the Russian soldiers who landed on the other side, and so far, 30,000 heroic Russian soldiers have died because they landed on the other side of the river without timely assistance, although the rear soldiers continued to provide support. But this attrition was extremely damaging to the morale of the Soviet Russian troops. Therefore, Frunze believed that a second battlefield should be opened, and the so-called second battlefield was to secretly land at a secret place in the upper reaches of the Volga River, and then use a part of it to penetrate Wufa and directly attack the enemy's base camp to carry out the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain -- this strategy is also called encircling Wei to save Zhao, and also called encircling the point to send reinforcements -- so that the enemy has nowhere to know where he is active. Then, find a place where the Volga army is most weakly defended, carry out a major counteroffensive, and force the Volga River crossing.

In the Volga Army, in order to prevent the Soviet and Russian troops from crossing the river, Wang Maoru specially placed some maintenance airships in the high-control control center to act as radar observation posts to detect every move of the Soviet and Russian troops anytime and anywhere.

As the British weapons arrived in Berkrovsk along the railway from the Urals, the weapons and ammunition of the Chinese intervention army were replenished again, and the British and French intervention forces landed in Sochi in the Western Caucasus at the same time (Sochi, yes, this is the place, the Chinese should be familiar with the upcoming Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics), but it is clear that as soon as the British and French troops landed in the Caucasus, they were attacked by the brave mountain people of the Caucasus. Russia in the Caucasus is the most complicated region, terrain, ethnicity, beliefs, Wang Maoru did not dare to lead the army into the Caucasus region lightly, because he was afraid that he would fall into this quagmire and not be able to pull out.

The mountainous region of the Caucasus is a grave to death, and has no strategic value, except for the Baku oil fields in the Caspian Sea. Historically, the powerful Germans during World War II did not dare to enter the Caucasus lightly, and later generations of Russia's constant conflicts in the Caucasus, a Chechen conflict, led Russia to see their weakness by the whole world.

But for the Baku oil field in the Caspian Sea, Wang Maoru still hopes to get the equipment there, Baku, Russia's largest oil production base, is now occupied by rebel guerrillas, producing a steady stream of crude oil for Soviet Russia, which is then sent by Guò train to the refinery in Satsaritsyn to make various oils and chemicals. Wang Maoru very much hopes to get Baku, of course this is impossible, the Russians will never give Baku to themselves, but they can't occupy Baku, and it is good to get Baku's oil production equipment. Or destroy the Baku oil fields and give them three years to rebuild, delaying the rise of Soviet Russia or Tsarist Russia. Wang Maoru came to Russia to participate in the war, not only for peace, but also to buy three to five years for northern China and delay the rise of Soviet Russia.

In June, Soviet Russia continued to increase its troops and competed with the squadron for Berkrovsk. And after Wang Maoru received aid and reinforcements, he threw batches of Russian Imperial Allied troops into street fighting.

When the Japanese intervention force arrived, they were directly sent by Wang Maoru to Berkrovskri. However, Wang Maoru's original plan was not to throw the Japanese into the front line, but to let his soldiers have enough time to rest, so he had to send the Japanese intervention army.

Five days later, the commander of the 7th Division of the Japanese Intervention Army, Fujii Xinmao, almost cried and asked the Japanese Intervention Army to withdraw from Berkrovsk, and in five days, the 24,000-strong 7th Division suffered as many as 7,000 casualties, and the cruelty of the war was far beyond the imagination of the Japanese. Wang Maoru was also very curious about why the Japanese were so resistant, first withdrew the Japanese, and then sent staff officer Fan Chongxiao to investigate. The results of Fan Chongxiao's investigation show that the equipment of the Japanese army on active duty suffers greatly from street fighting, especially in such fierce street fighting, and the Japanese are more suitable for field sports warfare. On the same day, the Japanese did not expect that the Soviet army would resist them so fiercely, and the Japanese were born with a short stature, which was even more disadvantageous in hand-to-hand combat. In street fighting, most of the fights took place when the distance between the two sides was less than half a meter, and the Japanese relied on their stabbing skills to become an obstacle for them.

However, the heavy artillery of the Japanese helped the Volga Army a lot, and even used heavy artillery to sink a 600-ton river warship of the Soviet army.

In place of the Japanese intervention army was the Czech Legion, whose fighting will was far inferior to that of the Soviet army, but the Czech Legion was all veterans composed of non-commissioned officers, and although they did not thank the Soviet Russians, they firmly stuck the Soviet army to Berkrovsk. Wang Maoru immediately looked at the Czech Legion differently, he always thought that the Czech Legion was a group of cowards, but he didn't expect their combat effectiveness to be so strong. Of course, the longer the Czech regiment held out, the longer the Chinese soldiers rested.

The speed of burning corpses is far less than the speed of dead soldiers, and in order to prevent the plague in the city, many people directly throw the dead soldiers directly into the turbulent Volga River, allowing fish and shrimp to eat human corpses. The Chinese only burned their comrades, and the bodies of the Russians and Tatars just ran away with the water. On June 16, the Volga River was clogged due to the drop in the amount of water to be drunk and the large number of corpses.

The corpses drifted to Tsaritsyn in the lower reaches of the Volga, causing Tsaritsyn to be extremely panicked, and the Southern Front saw hundreds of corpses drifting upstream every day for a long time, fortunately the battle took place in Berkrovsk, if Tsaritsyn was one...... The consequences are even more unimaginable.

Wang Maoru had tried his best to order his men to reduce casualties, but the war could not be carried out according to people's wishes, and many times, the young men who were alive and kicking up for a few days were left only cold corpses after a few days. Zang Hao was promoted from platoon commander to company commander, and then from company commander to battalion commander, and the two brothers also became company commanders. "It's not a joke, it's a kind of happiness after the catastrophe.
