Volume 10, Battle for Domination, Volume 17, Forced Takeover
.
The Russian army that arrived at the air strike did not lose much combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Because the army continued to drive from the Western Front, the Russian army's strength on the Eastern Front reached 1.5 million. Compared with the European powers with a total young population of only three to five million, Russia's more than 20 million young people made other countries envious.
Less than three months after the war started, Russia's total troop strength had reached 450, and it was still rising. With so many troops and Katyusha's powerful weapon, Temusinger, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Russian army, did not feel safe. The China he faced had a larger population. As far as he knew, the Northeast Army alone had reached 120 people. You should know that the Northeast Army has always been called China's Imperial Guard. It ranks first in all military regions, and its combat effectiveness is recognized as the first in China. However, only one legion of the Northeast Army is enough for Temusinger to drink a pot.
What's more, the two armies in the northwest and Central Plains also came over at the same time. Temusinger had to face the pressure of 280 people in three armies at the same time, and this battle was really hard to fight. One population advantage that the Russians have regarded as a bit of has become a disadvantage in front of China. If the population of more than 80,000 Russians is envied by other countries, then China's population of 40,000 will make the Russians feel scared.
Given that China has many soldiers, long front lines, wide war zones and difficult supply, Tiemsinger decided to adopt a policy of dragging the ground to win, that is, to avoid fighting with the main Chinese troops in the short term, retreat with great strides, and then find an opportunity to annihilate and annihilate some of the Chinese troops' advancing troops, and then carry out mobile combat in the enemy-occupied areas. If you are lucky, you will seize Kazan this year, and if you are lucky, you will eventually make peace with China.
No matter how lucky you are? Temusinger didn't want to choose what would happen if he was lucky. If he could really choose, he hoped to become the commander-in-chief of China's Western Front. His eyes became deeper and he began to turn to the mysterious East. Is the lucky commander doing something?
"Ah Yeh!"
Han Xinghua sneezes heavily and then fell off the horse. This is because he has never ridden a horse. Originally, the Western Front General Command (hereinafter referred to as the Western Front) wanted to come out to see the terrain and prepare to force the crossing location. However, because something happened to "Big Thumb" (the highest commander of the Front Line Command, referred to as "Big Thumb" for safety reasons), the investigation had to be left unresolved.
(After World War I, although China occupied all Russian territory east of Urals at that time, Britain and Germany were worried that China would be too strong at that time, so they forced China to retreat part of its territory. Since then, China's border is based on the Ob River as its border. In addition, neither Siberia nor Central Asia can build military bases. Therefore, on the eve of its development, it was difficult for Chinese troops to obtain local supplies and all needed domestic transportation. This situation did not change until 1918. China could not invest too much military force to attack Russia.)
As the cold is approaching, many people are unsure of fighting with the Russians in the cold winter, and therefore become very superstitious. They regard this accidental event as an ominous sign.
A staff officer suggested: "We'd better not cross the Ebilun River. The fall just now was a bad sign. "Han Xinghua kept silent, and there was a rare seriousness and thoughtful look on his face. After a while, the staff officer said: "Napoleon also fell apart, but the result was...."
Before the staff officer could finish his words, he was captured by the guards. This kind of words that shake the morale of the army cannot be said. This promising officer could only be persuaded to retreat from then on, but everyone knows what his second half of the sentence means.
On the night of the 92nd, Han Xinghua's army crossed the Ebilun River. The death-like silence on the Ebilun River was not a single figure on the vast land. In front of the Chinese army were brown land, withered plants, and woods on the distant horizon. The scenery in front of Han Xinghua felt a little uneasy. He was worried that the Russian army would withdraw from the Ebilun River without fighting and abandon the entire Katlin Arbor, thus inducing the Chinese army to stay away from the rear base.
You should know that the total number of troops in the Western Index is 300, but due to the poor transportation system, it can only mobilize 800,000. Although the emperor promised him that his loss capacity would double in the second year, even if the transportation volume doubled, it would not change the bottleneck in transportation. The Russians only need 1,500 miles from Moscow to Caterin Arbor. China, although Xi'an has developed rapidly in recent years and has become the leader of the western economic zone, it has no strength to support the consumption of the Western Index alone. More than half of the materials need to be transported from the east, which is more than ten thousand miles away.
Therefore, Han Xinghua hopes that the main force of the Vietnamese army will hold a major battle and then use its own military advantage to consume the Russians. Although this result will cause dissatisfaction among the Chinese people, it can effectively shorten the stalemate time and prevent the Chinese state from wasting useless waiting.
At this time, no Chinese spies sent back the intelligence, and the Chinese army knew nothing about the enemy's movements, which made Han Xinghua feel even more distressed. The Russian army's arrangement on the front line of the Ebilun River. At that time, there were Russian troops opposite the Ebilun River. However, the main positions of these Russian troops were erratic and there was no way to track him.
What Han Xinghua was worried about finally happened. It seemed that nothing could stop the war from becoming long-term. In the icy and snowy Russian territory, if an army had no fixed place of residence, then when the cold winter came, no matter how thick the clothes could resist the biting cold, Han Xinghua got another bad news: due to fatigue, lack of forage and the cold wind and rain at night, many soldiers also fell on the way. Han Xinghua began to realize the arduousness of this expedition.
Just as Han Xinghua was worried that the Russian army did not fight him in Catlin Arbor, the Chinese emperor wrote him a letter.
"The general has no worries, and if he is not defeated, he will win. The Russians' national strength is far inferior to me. I will win with ten points!"
Then, the emperor enthusiastically listed many fighting methods in his writing, and finally added a sentence to finally reveal the essence of this person:
"Don't care about how to fight me, but you have to grasp a principle and not lose money. If the enemy wanders around and does not fight against my main force, then you must take advantage of my numerical advantage and frequently take feints to mobilize the opponent. Our troops need to take regular rest, so as to wait for the effort and wait until next spring to launch a real offensive."
On the 92nd, Han Xinghua received news that the Russian Kara Second Front Army also retreated from Yekarin Arbor to Kazan. Han Xinghua immediately ordered the Fifth Army to go and receive it. Han Xinghua also made a fuss: "How much do you send, how much I eat, see if I'm going to die or you cut all the meat!"
