Chapter 34 The Question of Dominance
Volume 4 Great Era Chapter 34
Even though it is the end of March, spring in Novosibirsk is still far away, and the north wind is swept with snowflakes and still keeps looking at it.
The Belarusian government retreated to Novosibirsk, the only external connection channel, the Siberian Railway was as busy as usual. After the whistle sounded from the steam engine, a military train slowly drove into the station. He wore a military uniform without any signs, a telescope flickered on his neck, and Li Daxiong, who had a Rhine pistol on his waist, got off the train.
On the platform was Jerikov, a private Russian army stationed in Novosibirsk. He was originally self-proclaimed. After Kolchak came, he had no intention of being lifted, so he continued to work. After 100,000 new recruits arrived, Jerikov's status was threatened. Many of the nobles who fled to Novosibirsk with Kolchak, were targeted by his position.
However, these threats were really worth mentioning in Jerikov's opinion. Jerikov, who held heavy troops, was now one of the most important people in Novosibirsk speaking, and Kolchak had to let him score three points. After the disappearance of several nobles who coveted Jerikov's position, no one dared to have his thoughts again.
Jerikov knew where his status came from. When others were still waving shovels in the concentration camp, he was able to take a group of trusted officers from the Russian army to Shenyang and receive a half-year military training course. During his time in Shenyang, Jerikov was engraved with the word "中" on his forehead, regardless of whether he was willing or not. The only way out for Russians like him was to hug the Chinese thighs tightly.
Therefore, Jerikov is the happiest person in the Chinese volunteer army to send troops to Novosibirsk.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Li! On behalf of the Novosibirsk garrison, I would like to thank your country for your help." Jerikov deliberately distinguished himself from the Kolchak tribe. The Belarusian government formed by Kolchak in Novosibirsk. Its government army is known as the Novosibirsk Legion. The current total is about 150,000, which is stronger than Jerikov, but the only hope for the army's equipment and materials source is the Chinese.
Under this premise, since Jerikov's position cannot be shaken, he can only rely on his good relationship with China.
Kolchak stood behind. Once upon a time, where was the Chinese in his eyes? Now he can only rely on this country that was once ignored. In Omsk, the French betrayed Kolchak for his own life. The Czech Legion put down their weapons, and French general Toonan even traded Kolchak with the Red regime. At the critical moment, the Chinese appeared on the vast escape road. Without the Chinese, they prepared an army in Novosibirsk in time. Kolchak knew that there was only a dead end.
"General Kolchak. I was ordered to come to Novosibirsk. The instructions from the country were very clear to me and assist your army in defending Novosibirsk." Li Daxiong still gave Kolchak a lot of face, stepped forward and saluted and spoke.
Kolchak's heart was filled with complex emotions. He looked at the Chinese soldiers who kept getting off the train, wearing cotton coats and carrying personal luggage behind them. When he got off the train, he was quiet and orderly. Except for the gathering sounds made by the officers, no one was talking anymore. This quiet scene made people feel the pressure of almost suffocation.
"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your help. When will General Qi Zhenghong arrive?" Kolchak understood what he meant in the words, and he understood too much. But as Kolchak, even if he couldn't accept it, he had to endure it and insisted on Russia's last hope.
"Commander Qi Zhenghong will not arrive in a week. Our army has a total of six divisions, two armored brigades, and two cavalry divisions. Two aviation brigades. Commander Qi needs to adjust logistics transportation in the rear. At this stage, there is only one railway. It is estimated that it will take at least one month to complete the tasks of all transportation troops." Li Daxiong's words made Kolchak frown slightly. Compared to how many people came with the Chinese Volunteer Army, Kolchak was more concerned about the issue of command of the troops.
There is no doubt that Kolchak hopes to obtain command of the army, but this is obviously unrealistic. The European war has proved that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is above the Russian army. Whether it is the quality or equipment of soldiers, it seems to be the same now. Kolchak can even clearly feel the unruly elements in the eyes of this guy named Li Daxiong. Do the Chinese look down on the Russians for a day? If you have such benefits to defend Novosibirsk, just this is the reward? Can the Chinese be more shameless?
According to the Americans, the Chinese have taken advantage of the Americans. This result is also thanks to the red regime for being unacceptable worldwide, or for being the public enemy of the free world.
"Report, all the 105th Infantry Brigades arrived and were fully equipped, and they asked for instructions for the next step." Liu Mingzhao, who suddenly appeared, interrupted the conversation between Kolchak and Li Daxiong. The first batch of troops had a whole infantry brigade, and it took only one hour to complete the installation. This speed was really scary.
Brigade Commander Liu Mingzhao, a top student in the first phase of Wuhu Army University who has experienced the test of European wars, was awarded the Silver Star Medal after returning to China, followed by a rocket-like promotion. It is said that Fu Shuai was named by the coach himself, and there was only one in the whole army. I don’t know what this kid was attracted to by Fu Shuai. Li Daxiong is now the acting commander of the First Army of the Volunteer Army, and his rank has also changed from major general to lieutenant general. A student of the Wuhu teaching team like him is constantly coming up and becoming a central army of the National Defense Army, a division-level chief officer, and at least he can become a chief of staff or deputy division commander and brigade commander. After the new reorganization began, many of the older generation of Beiyang cooperated with soldiers from various provinces faded out of the regular A-type army, division, and went to the border defense force and reserve service, or they would have received a senior staff position in the Ministry of National Defense.
However, Li Daxiong did not mean to hate Liu Mingzhao. This guy is indeed very good at leading troops. In just two months, he integrated the 105th Brigade very well. Compared with the original brigade commander Wei Yue and the current 53rd Division Commander, Liu Mingzhao is not only younger, but also stronger in ability.
Since Qi Zhenghong had not arrived, Kolchak left after a formality. He left Jerikov's reception arrangements and other matters, and even discussed the possible attacks by the Red Army.
Li Daxiong was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't put it on his face. He waited until Kolchak left before he said to Liu Mingzhao: "The troops should enter the camp quickly. I don't care about the Russian army. The 105th Brigade cannot be negligent at all."
Liu Mingzhao saluted: "Please rest assured and ensure that the task is completed."
Jerikov and other troops set out officially, and then they approached Li Daxiong and said, "General Li, recently, the guerrillas have been active frequently. One of my cavalry companies had encountered the Red Army cavalry the day before yesterday."
"Is there any more accurate information?" Li Daxiong asked with a cheerful spirit. Jerikov shook his head and said, "No, there is no information about the Red Army. This battle is so passive. The only thing he can do now is to strengthen defense and strengthen defense, and there is nothing else."
Li Daxiong glanced at Feixue, which was still dancing, and cursed: "Damn the weather, an air brigade of the Air Force arrived in Irkutzk. I hope tomorrow will be a sunny day."
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Jerikov looked at these nobles disdainfully, and Li Daxiong also looked at them and sneered: "Jerkov, you have seen it all. Although Kolchak is a good soldier, his teammates seem to be a group of pigs. Fu Shuai said before that he is not afraid of opponents like gods, but only afraid of teammates like pigs. Now it seems that Kolchak's future is unpredictable."
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of him. A woman in the lead was wearing a black fox coat and a fur scarf that had no impurities. She strode towards Li Daxiong. Behind her was an aunt chasing and shouting, and Li Daxiong couldn't understand Russian.
The woman walked faster and faster, and finally ran to Li Daxiong, and spoke Russian in a slight manner. Li Daxiong looked at the translator beside her. "I am Princess Sharapova, and I hope to meet the highest commander of the Chinese army."
Irkutzk, the interim general command of the Volunteer Army, and the Volunteer Army Commander Qi Zhenghong are discussing military affairs with the Mongolian Military Region Commander Xu Shuzheng. "Commander Xu, Fushuai's telegram requires us to complete all deployment before April 30. There are so many people and so many supplies, just such a railway, and the logistics pressure is too great."
Xu Shuzheng glanced at the telegram sent by Qi Zhenghong, nodded and said, "No matter how much pressure is, he must complete the task of supporting the coach. In the Northeast Military Region, Mr. Zhi has transferred all the locomotives he can find. The Russians, the construction of a railway is different from others."
"Fortunately, the general was just asking us to defend Novosibirsk and did not ask us to send troops to help Kolchak fight back." Qi Zhenghong was a little lucky. When he really drove forward, he realized that Novosibirsk was not a place to use troops. It was winter now, and it was so cold that it was not suitable for large army operations. He could only rely on railways to transport forward. When spring came, the road was muddy after the snow had melted. This was a bit of a pain in the Far East last spring, and it might be even more troublesome.
"Master Fu has a good estimate of our difficulties and is not optimistic about Kolchak, a guy with no political program. It is also true that when Russia was in chaos, wasn't it because the Tsar lost the hearts of the people? Kolchak wanted to restore the Tsar era, which was really against the will of the people." Xu Shuzheng was speaking, and Chief of Staff Qu Tongfeng came in and said, "Ship Zheng, Hongshuai, Commander Li called."
