"Ivan, are you there?" Suddenly, someone shouted.

"I'm here, am I the squad leader?"

"Yes, Ivan, be careful not to sleep."

"Okay, Comrade squad leader." He immediately stood up and looked around. He observed from the top of a four-story building, only to think that it seemed to be windy, and at the same time heard many people coughing.

On such a cold day, it seems that everyone has a cold. Nikolov thought to himself, suddenly he felt a little itchy throat, dry eyes, and very itchy skin, what is going on, what is this? Nikolov immediately jumped up, and suddenly smelled a pungent smell in the air, and then he coughed loudly, feeling that he was not breathing, he pinched his throat and shouted: "Is there anyone to save me, is there anyone?" He collapsed, convulsed, foaming at the foam, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, and hallucinating in front of his eyes.

Eventually, he died, and his dexterous ears didn't help him.

The command of the Volga Army has been moved to the village of Hitjepan, just fifteen kilometers from Berkrovsk, and if Zinoviev had in his hands a German Krupp 1907 135-mm cannon, then Hitjepan would not have been safe. The six-ton cannon had a shell of 42 kilograms, a barrel of 5.2 meters long, and a range of 16 kilometers. However, the most threatening heavy artillery in Russia today is the 152mm cannon of the 1904 type, but the Russian design began in 1902 and production began in 1904, and the official service was in 1908, and there are not many of them.

The Russo-Japanese War of 1900-1904 not only set the Japanese economy back by a decade, but also worsened Russia's economic woes. After ten years of hard work, the Russian economy had just turned around, and just in time for the outbreak of the European war, Tsar Nicholas II was still a kick. Only one hundred and twenty 152-mm cannons of the 1904 type were captured by the Germans during the battles with Germany during the European War, and the rest of the heavy guns were placed by the Russian government in Tsaritsyn, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Vladimir, the latter being the site of Russia's largest arsenal. And Tsaritsyn, too, has only five of these cannons.

Wang Maoru is now hosting a banquet for the generals in the renovated "headquarters" of a farmhouse, waiting for news from the front. Present were Krasnov, deputy commander of the army group, and Utkin, a battlefield observer on the Tsar's special envoy. Deputy Commander and Director of the Placement of Wounded Soldiers Mi Zhenbiao, Chief of the General Staff Yaliskov, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Xiong Bingtao, Senior Staff Officer Chang Guochun, Logistics Commander Xu Youqian. The military commander is like flying. Mamontov, commander of the 1st Provisional Division of the Russian Imperial Allied Army, Li Pinxian, commander of the 1st Division of the Chinese Intervention Army, Li Jinglin, chief of staff, and Fei Chaogui, commander of the 6th Division. Chief of Staff Xue Jianxun, Commander of the 10th Division Zhao Qing, Chief of Staff Yong Xingbao, Commander of the First Bombing Formation of the Air Force Jin Xian, and Commander of the Airship Brigade Du Baoming. The mayor of Berkrovsk, Radzersky, the commander of the 2nd Turkic Cavalry Division, Kadereye, the commander of the 3rd Turkic Cavalry Division, Ünevoli.

The cannon rumbled, and Wang Maoru said solemnly: "Your general offensive has begun, let us mourn in silence for the soldiers who died in this war." Whether it is our army or the rebels, there are people who have lost their young lives in this war, and I don't know how many families have lost their sons, husbands after this war. Father. Everyone looked at him silently, and the interpreter whispered to the Russians to explain Wang Maoru's speech.

After a moment of silence, Wang Maoru said: "I hope that we can do our best to eliminate the Bolshevik Soviet power and end this war as soon as possible, and I hope that my children will return home as soon as possible." It is hoped that Russia will be able to achieve a great revival. ”

Radzersky, the mayor of Berkrovsk, appointed by the Tsar, opened his eyes wide and said: "Your Excellency Marshal Wang, I wonder why the general offensive was launched at this time?" And they called us to ......."

Only a few of you here knew about the plans of the Chinese intervention army, and their hearts were full of questions about why they were woken up by soldiers at two o'clock in the middle of the night to attend this banquet, and who held the banquet at three o'clock in the middle of the night? And the table was full of only baked potatoes and grilled chicken. And, of course, vodka spirits. But if anyone gets up at three o'clock in the middle of the night to drink, there is not a single drunkard here.

The mayor of Berkrovsk, Rajelsky, was an intellectual. He was a lawyer, and before the coup d'état in Russia, he litigated for merchants and aristocrats, and was known as Nikita the Vampire. But now he was the new mayor of Berkrovsk, who had the misfortune of being tied to sacks by the Bolshevik workers and thrown into the icy Volga after overthrowing the Tsarist regime.

Nikita. Rajersky never dreamed that he would become mayor of Berkrovsk, so he insisted on staying despite his wife's objections instead of running to China and taking refuge in France. Of course, her wife also stayed because of vanity, after all, the mayor's wife is still the envy of many people. It's just that they were afraid of the Soviet victory, so they sent their son and daughter to the Russian-lived area of Changchun in northeastern China, where they were fostered by his wife's younger brother.

Yaliskov said: "That's right, after several days of preparation, our Volga Army decided to launch an artillery bombardment at three o'clock in the morning tonight, and the general infantry attack was under the responsibility of the Imperial Allied Army Volga Army of the Royal Army of Tsarist Russia, and it was planned to send a regiment to assault at five o'clock in the morning and launch an infantry attack at seven o'clock in the morning. ”

Ragersky wondered: "I wonder why there is a general offensive at three points, but it is not launched until seven o'clock." Even I, an officer who doesn't understand military affairs, know that they have four hours to prepare. ”

Wang Maoru laughed when he heard his words, and Xiong Bingtao said coldly: "That's because our general attack started with poison gas bombs, and we don't have enough gas masks, so we can only wait for the poison gas to disperse, otherwise the poison gas will kill ourselves." ”

Rajersky jumped up at once and shouted: "What are you talking about? Gas? Could it be a gas bomb? ”

Wang Maoru said: "Didn't I make it clear, Mr. Mayor?" ”

"No, my God, there are tens of thousands of citizens there, tens of thousands of my citizens!" Ragersky said in horror that he was at a loss, he had just been appointed mayor of Berkrovsk, but did not expect that the whole city was gone? How could he possibly accept such an outcome, and could his mayor be to take over a dead city on the first day he was appointed? Moreover, in the face of ordinary citizens releasing poison gas bombs, this is a serious violation of the Hague Convention.

The Declaration of the Hague Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Projectiles Intended for the Purpose of Dispersing Asphyxiating or Poisonous Gases (Hague Declaration No. 2 of 1899) was signed by Nicholas II. He looked at the other Russians and wanted to get help from the other Russians, but the others were whispering something, and Krasnov, the deputy commander who did not speak, was counting his fingers, oh my God, aren't his fingers ten? This damn executioner, he must have been involved in the plan, yes, must have been involved in the plan.

But in fact, Ragersky really wronged Krasnov, when Krasnov received the order, the poison gas attack plan had already been formulated by the Chinese staff, and the only thing he needed to do was to carry it out according to the order.

Wang Maoru's reason for persuading Krasnov to carry out this order was simple: "Have you forgotten the ridicule you received after losing the Battle of Tsaritsyn?" Have you forgotten your experience of being captured by the Bolsheviks? Now, I'm the Commander! "Of course, the last one is the most critical, Wang Mao is the commander, he has the right to make decisions.

Speaking of which, Krasnov was also an ill-fated man, his most shameful thing was that he was defeated and captured by the Bolsheviks, and in order to survive, he promised the Bolsheviks that he would never oppose the Soviets in the future. Since he was defeated and captured, Stalin released Krasnov in order to show merit and win over the captured soldiers.

He became an ordinary worker in the Tsaritsyn Arsenal, from a noble general to a heating worker in the arsenal, pushing a flatbed cart every night, watching the thermometer by the boiler, burning a cart of coal if the water temperature fell below 80 degrees, not being able to sleep all night, and being bullied and ridiculed by the factory workers. Krasnov overslept on a snowy night because he was too tired, and the water temperature dropped below 50 degrees.

He thought it was no big deal, but the next day he found that a section of water pipe was freezing and bursting because the water temperature was too low, and a workers' dormitory was out of heat. Krasnov was frightened, he immediately fled for fear of being beaten by the Bolshevik workers. After he fled, he was convicted by the Soviets of a counter-revolutionary who sabotaged official duties and undermined Soviet power, and was convicted of treason and sentenced to death.

Wang Maoru also listened to Berevelde's story about Krasnov, a general from the Cossack cavalry, who had such a disgraceful experience, so he took the initiative to return to Tsaritsyn to wash away his shame.

Faced with the mayor's question, Chief of Staff Yaliskov explained: "Mr. Mayor, when the squadron evacuated Berkrovsk, eighty percent of the citizens had already been evacuated with them, they were all good citizens who supported the tsar, and twenty percent of the diehards left behind were supporters of the Bolsheviks. Please don't sympathize with them, I think they will go to hell when they die if they don't respect God. This is the number jù provided to him by the Chinese, and he very much hopes that it is true, and at this time in the face of Rajersky, he can only take out this number jù and prevaricate.

Rajersky shook his head and said, "But, it's ...... the Hague Convention......"

"Fuck the Hague Convention!" Wang Maoru interrupted him and said: "Now we are fighting, not playing a game, between us and the Soviet Russians, the losing side will become the dust of history and be written by the history of the evil side, leaving a stench for 10,000 years!" Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that we will cooperate sincerely, and now we are all mortal enemies of the Bolsheviks, and if we are defeated, we will all be sentenced to death, and I don't think you all want to die. ”
