Chapter 939: Sakhalin Infantry Division
It's just that the problem is that at this time there were few people in Soviet Russia who could fly airplanes, and they were forced to look around the world for pilots who could fly airplanes, and finally found more than 60 international fighters to serve as pilots when they came. These internationalist fighters carried forward the common international disease and were pampered, and the Soviet Russian government had to meet even the requirements of sexual partners because of their demands, and it can be said that they were the only nobles in the Soviet army.
After waiting for a day, the Chinese suddenly discovered that more than a dozen planes marked with a red five-pointed star had come to the Kreuz Fortress and circled a few times, which was by no means a road aircraft of the Wehrmacht.
The Chinese Wehrmacht road aircraft is marked with a five-color flag, which looks like a rainbow, which is very obvious, and it is clear that this is a Russian plane. The Russians also have planes, Du Baosan immediately reported this information to the military district command, and the command was also surprised, in terms of the current Soviet Russian industry, it should be very difficult to produce aircraft, so these five planes also represent the mystery of the Soviet Russian Air Force.
The Russians also had planes, which gave the Yellow Dragon Legion a hint of bad feeling.
On May 13, the twelfth year of the Republic of China, the Central Asian cluster of the Eastern Army of Soviet Russia arrived at the town of Leozek, which was 80 kilometers away from the Kreuz fortress, and was warmly welcomed by the residents of Leozek town. Since the Russians relied on fishing boats to transport supplies, it was impossible for them to be too far away from the Syr Darya River as a base camp, and the town of Leozek was a very good base camp. After several attempts to drive the squadron out of the Kreuz fortress but were refused, Blyukhel, together with Sollinsky, Melnikov and Posteshev, decided to attack the squadron.
Meantime. The Central Route Army led by Postshev also rushed straight to the Dragon City in the east with great fanfare, and its momentum was very ostentatious due to the large number of cavalry in its division. It was like the main force of an army of more than 100,000 people - but what they didn't know was that the strategic intentions of this force had long been known to the Chinese, and the Chinese had already laid pockets in front of them waiting for them to get in. High-quality updates are here
The four fortress guns of the Kreuz fortress were originally facing the upper and eastern defenses of the Syr Darya River, and after reconnaissance it was learned that the Chinese had turned their guns back, facing the north and northwest. So now there are three ways to attack the Kreuz fortress, the first way is to make a detour to the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River, that is, to the southeast to attack the Kreuz fortress. The second is to wait until the fortress artillery ammunition is exhausted before attacking, regardless of casualties, and the third is to find an opportunity to infiltrate the spies to blow up the fortress artillery.
Blyukhel heard from intelligence officers that there were not many shells from the fortress artillery. With about 2,000 rounds and a long time of storage, I don't know if it can be used, and this fortress has hardly been really used since it was built. It was originally built to prevent the British from invading Central Asia after occupying Afghanistan, but the British were not able to reach here. It was the Chinese who occupied. The only battle in the Kizil fortress was a surprise attack by Wang Jiejun, known as the Tiger of Central Asia, leading his army behind the back. And capture in one fell swoop. Now the Russians have come here in a grand manner, but they have lost the effect of the surprise attack behind them.
"Fortunately they only have two thousand fortified shells...... "Blyucher still frowned, and said, "It would be perfect if they could be blown up." ”
"We can turn to the Air Force." Chief of Staff Sollinsky said hesitantly.
At this time, political commissar Posteshev said with a wry smile: "Maybe you don't know that as soon as fifty planes arrived in Aktobe, six were destroyed, and only thirty-nine came to Jusalez, and aviation fuel is not enough, and now it is waiting for aviation fuel in the rear." And also. Because these air force veterans are invited European pilots, they have very big shelves. Also ask that we have to serve coffee, bastards, damned bourgeois minds to blame! ”
"Actually, airplanes really don't work." Blyukhel said in a huff. "It was the cavalry that was the most powerful, and the cavalry increased its artillery, which determined the direction of the war."
"So, we can't count too much on airplanes, general, you're right, the war is still decided by artillery and bayonets," Sollinsky said. High-quality updates are here"
"Yes, I agree with you." "According to our intelligence, the enemy has only 20,000 soldiers, and we have 220,000 soldiers, and in three days, we can definitely destroy them." ”
"Three ......," Blyukhel frowned, "there will be a lot of casualties......
Postshev smiled: "Have you forgotten that we still have the Bukharin's regiment?" ”
"But they may not be able to do that." Melnikov said.
"It's a time of war, and they can't help but not do it, otherwise they will be punished by military law." Postshev sneered.
"Well, we need these people to run out of fortress shells." Blyukhel said.
Senior General Blyukhel instructed those transporting aircraft fuel in the rear to transport it quickly, and those who repaired the aircraft also to speed up repairs. And the six reorganized infantry divisions of the Tsarist Guards and the Sakhalin Corps, which numbered about 50,000 men, also began to concentrate.
Since the Sakhalin regiment was not made up of rebellious Russian soldiers, these people were basically diehards who did not want to fight against Soviet Russia and did not want to join the Red Army, they only wanted to leave the damn war behind and return to Russia to become workers, teachers, peasants, and artists. Blyukhel was also taking a big risk by reorganizing them, because these stubborn old-fashioned elements were not moved by the Bolshevik commissars and did not regard the Red Army as real comrades-in-arms in their hearts. Blyukher's name for the Sakhalin Infantry Division was given to the Tsarist Guards because Sakhalin (Sakhalin in Chinese) was a place of exile during the Tsarist period, and the name was given to warn them not to betray the Russian government, otherwise they would be exiled. For such an army, Blyukhel had no choice but to divide them into three sections and place them in the first, middle and last three sections of the team, so as to prevent them from colluding together and running away halfway.
When the Central Asian Cluster of the Russian Eastern Army arrived in the town of Leozek, Blyukhel once again approached Marshal Kolchak and said to him: "We were enemies during the Civil War, but the Civil War stopped. Now we are Eastern Slavs, I want you to take your army to destroy the Chinese hiding in the fortresses. And the first three days of fighting, I hope to be completed by six divisions of the Bukharin Corps, this is your chance to atone for your sins, and the best chance to gain respect. According to the intelligence of our army, the enemy has only 20,000 men, and you have 50,000 people and hundreds of artillery pieces of our army. The only trouble is that the enemy has four 260 mm heavy fortress guns, and although we have more artillery, this fortress gun is a big problem. General, I think that if you capture the Kizil fortress in the heart of Central Asia in this battle, all your charges will be cleared. ”
Kolchak neither refused nor agreed, he smiled and said: "I would like to meet my subordinates, and we will discuss how to fight." ”
"Okay." Blyukhel said happily. After Kolchak left, Sollinsky cautiously said: "If the command is really handed over to him, will it ......"
Blyukhel shook his head and said, "If he were to leave here, he would not have returned to the arms of the Soviets with a million and six hundred thousand men." On the other hand, I admire him a lot. ”
"But we can't give up our surveillance on him." "It's like that Jakto Viceshchenko, he actually fled, damn it." ”
Blyukhel touched his beard and said suspiciously, "But why did he run away?" We're going to pardon him, it's strange......"
"Therefore, the leaders of the bourgeoisie are not reliable, and do not assume that they have taken refuge with us and assume that they really approve of the Bolsheviks." "We need to be vigilant and strict in monitoring these White Guards," Postshev said. ”
Soon Kolchak and his men reunited, and he wanted to persuade him to agree to attack the squadron, but his men wanted to return to Russia to be an ordinary person, and the army was very war-weary. Kolchak bitterly told them that we were not fighting for the Russian government, but for our own future, and finally convinced his generals.
Kolchak looked around but did not see the former Prime Minister Jacques Vyshoshenko, Kolchak asked who knew where Jacques was, and everyone did not know, as if Jacques was missing. After studying the attack plan, Kolchak approached Blyukhel and said that they were confident that they would capture the Kyzyl fortress. Kolchak put on his officer's uniform again, and although the brief and command knife were gone, and his hair was gray, his face was grim and full of confidence, and he said: "Yes, I have confidence, but I need artillery, and I need a defense map." Map of the defense of the Kreuz fortress, even from twenty years ago. ”
Chief of Staff Sollinsky said happily: "The Kreuz Fortress has just been built for twelve years, not twenty years old, the layout map of the city is here, but we have not found the Chinese defense map." According to residents who fled Kyzylorda, the Chinese had nearly 20,000 troops, but before that there were fewer than 20,000. The unit responsible for defense is the third division that the Chinese can fight relatively well, and the division commander is called Wang Jiejun, you should know. ”
"Central Asian Tiger, Wang Jiejun." Kolchak nodded and said, "This man is not easy to fight, but his army is not good at defense, so he put them here to defend and did not intend to use a tiger as a guard yard." Hehe, the Chinese are not wise. And how should the 3rd Division defend itself? I've always wanted to eliminate Wang Jiejun and his troops, and now it seems that this opportunity has come. ”
Blyukhel asked, "Is this Wang Jiejun terrifying?" ”
Kolchak said: "The most important thing is not that he is terrible, but the cunning and cruelty of his army, and once such an opponent is let go, it will be difficult to have such a chance again." ”
