    Frunze did not stay in Moscow for long after taking over the post. He rushed to the front line without stopping the next day.

    Today, the situation on the front line is very serious. After the Trotskyist incident, Stalin mobilized almost half of the Red Army troops to assemble in Central Siberia. At the same time, Stalin also issued instructions to the troops to recruit a large number of recruits and speed up their training, requiring that 30 days of training be completed before the spring of next year.  new troops of each division to enrich the overall strength of the Red Army.

    According to Stalin's prediction, after the troops of 30 divisions are in place, the total strength of the Red Army will exceed 1 million, and the troops placed in the east will exceed 500,000. In addition to the rest of the troops stationed in important cities, there are also a large number of  Beware of the Chinese in the south.  This number seemed huge, but in Stalin's heart it was not enough. He wished he could immediately summon another 1 million troops. If he had such a huge army in hand, no matter how powerful his opponent was, he would no longer have too much power.  Much worry.

    You must know that the total number of the Chinese National Defense Forces is no less than that of the Soviets. At the same time, due to the surrender of the Trotskyists, the total number of troops of the Russian Empire¡¯s orthodox government increased sharply. Once the other side absorbs and digests these troops, the Soviet Red Army¡¯s military advantage in numbers will no longer exist.  , Stalin knew this very well, and Frunze, as the best strategist of the Soviet Union, knew it even more.  When he arrived at the front line, he did not familiarize himself with the troops as others imagined. Instead, he only spent a few days making preliminary preparations before issuing the order to attack the opponent.

    Frunze did this because the Far East government seemed to have expanded its strength after taking over the Trotskyist armed forces, but in fact it was full of internal contradictions. The defection of a large number of former Red Army troops not only did not increase the opponent's strength, but weakened the overall combat effectiveness of its troops.  If it continues to be delayed, the opponent the Red Army will face will become even stronger after the other party has completely completed its reorganization and reorganization.  in addition.  The main reason why the Chinese government declared war on Soviet Russia was that it had to take the initiative on the civil war battlefield in a short period of time to ensure that it would have more military power and strategic space to deal with its opponents in the future.

    After declaring war, the Chinese National Defense Forces did not go north to fight for the time being, and the civil war in Russia resumed under artillery fire.  As Frunze expected, the enemy's combat effectiveness decreased instead of increasing.  Although the morale of the Red Army, which had just undergone a major purge, was somewhat low, it lacked a large number of grassroots commanders.  However, with the support of faith and doctrine, the Red Army still fought vigorously with the opponent. Not only did it firmly suppress the enemy forces on the Siberian defense line, but some cavalry units also attacked everywhere, causing great trouble to the opponent.

    "What a ghost!"

    At the Siberian Defense Line Command, Baron Peter Nikolayevich Wrangel couldn't help but curse. He had been working extremely hard for the past half month. The Red Army on the opposite side trusted the commander to be flexible and flexible in fighting, and he was full of tricks.  .  His troops suffered a lot of losses.  If they had not relied on the defense line to resist, they would have been defeated long ago. Moreover, as the Red Army continued to increase its troops, the gap in the comparison of the soldiers between the two sides became wider and wider.

    "What is going on in the Far East? Why can't reinforcements come up?"

    General Stanislavsky smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency, I just received the telegram. I'm afraid it will take some time for the reinforcements to arrive, and the first batch to arrive is only one division. As for more troops, it depends on the Ministry of Defense.  How to arrange"

    "A division?!" Baron Wrangel stared in disbelief.  He waved his hand and pointed to the west: "Are all the men in the Ministry of National Defense idiots? Just one division? What do you think we are? Beggars? Do you want to know how many more troops the enemy increases every month? It is almost three times this number! Three times  Ah! Our troops on the front line are not more numerous than our opponents to begin with, and this number is increasing at a disparity every day. One division? Are they all blind? One division is of no use!"

    "Your Excellencythis is an order from the Ministry of National Defense"

    "Anyone's orders are useless! If we continue like this, we can't hold the defense line at all!" Baron Wrangel yelled hysterically, waving his hands and cursing: "Where are the troops who surrendered to us? Hundreds of thousands of people! Why not?  Drag them to the front lines to fight? Why! These bureaucrats deserve to die! They should all be dragged out and shot!"

    General Stanislavsky remained silent. Baron Wrangel vented for a while and then gradually calmed down. In fact, he also knew that the Ministry of Defense's concerns were justified, even though the Trotskyist armed forces had defected to the Far East government.  On the surface, the post-government army had grown a lot, but the Russian Imperial Government Army, which originally had only more than 400,000 soldiers, suddenly took over the strength of the original Red Army, which was almost equal to the strength of the original Red Army.  There are bound to be worries about instability factors.

    While deleting, reorganizing and reorganizing the Red Army personnel who have taken refuge, the Far East government must retain a sufficient and powerful force just in case.  What's more, this work cannot be completed in a short time. It will take at least several months to be effective. As a result, there are limitations on the troop support provided to the front line.  Who would have thought that Hong, who had just completed the cleaning incident,The army actually launched a crazy attack on the defense line?  This made the Far East government, which was overjoyed when the Chinese government declared war on Soviet Russia, extremely depressed. Of course, the one who came under the greatest pressure was Baron Wrangel, the top commander on the front line.

    "Your Excellency, why don't you discuss it with the Chinese? You must know that they have two integrated divisions on the Siberian defense line. The Chinese promised us to help us defend our positions, and now the Chinese government has declared war with Moscow. At this time  We should fight side by side with us.¡±

    "The Chinesehehe" Baron Wrangel smiled bitterly. General Stanislavsky was right. There were indeed two Chinese reorganization divisions assisting in the defense.  Judging from the number of people and combat effectiveness, the excursion can be fought against three to four corps-level troops of the Red Army.  But the situation is not that simple. Yes, the Chinese have declared war, but since the declaration of war, except for the two troops hidden in the Far East in the name of the Russian Imperial Government Army, no soldiers have been officially sent north at all.  Not only that, they have been working hard to support the defense line these days, but the Chinese troops still stand still. It is obvious that they are watching the battle between the government troops and the Red Army, and will never take the initiative to help unless it is absolutely necessary.

    "Let's go and talk to the Chinese and ask them to support us. As long as we survive another month or two, the situation will stabilize when winter comes. Before that, everyone is still sitting in the same boat. Once  No one will be fine if the defense is breached, it¡¯s the same for us, and it¡¯s the same for them!¡±

    "Okay, sir, I will try my best." Although he made a suggestion, General Stanislavsky himself was not sure whether the suggestion would be successful. But now, I am afraid that this is the most likely choice.

    20 miles west from the defense line headquarters.  This is the second position of the Siberian defense line. Stationed here are the two reorganized divisions of Bai Chongxi and Feng Yuxiang. There was a lively fight in front, but here it is still as calm as before. The Chinese soldiers have almost nothing to do except daily training.  In Feng Yuxiang's words, staying in this place where birds don't poop and basking in the sun every day is so dull that the birds are coming out of their mouths.

    At the headquarters of the newly established 39th Division, Feng Yuxiang was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier.  He was reading with Juan Chunqiu in his hand. He was tall and had a rosy face. If he changed his clothes and added three long strands of beard under his mouth, he could almost go to the stage to play Guan Gong.

    Since arriving here, he, Feng, has not fought a single battle and has long been exhausted.  Some time ago, I learned that the government had officially declared war on the Soviet Union.  Feng Yuxiang happily drank half a catty of Erguotou and was ready to lead his troops to compete with the Soviets.  But before he could assemble his troops, he received news from China.  The General Staff asked his 39th Division and Bai Chongxi's 45th Division to retreat to the second line of defense and not to intervene in the battle for the time being. As for when to go into battle, wait for notification.

    This moment made Feng Yuxiang extremely depressed. Although he felt very unhappy, orders were orders.  It was impossible for him to disobey, otherwise he would not be able to keep his position as a teacher, let alone meritorious service.  So in order to pass the time these days, and also to change his mood, he didn't know where he got this Spring and Autumn Period.  I had to pretend to read for several hours every day.

    "Master's seat! Master's seat!" While he was watching and talking with great interest, Shi Yousan and Ji Hongchang barged in with a loud shout without even knocking on the door. Feng Yuxiang raised his head and frowned, and before they could speak, he  He shouted coldly: "Get out!"

    "Master" The joy on Shi Yousan's face did not fade, and he was about to speak again. Ji Hongchang, who was more clever, quickly grabbed him and retreated from the room without saying a word, closing the door at the same time.

    "Report!"

    A few seconds later, Ji Hongchang knocked on the door lightly and shouted outside the door.

    "Come in¡­¡­."

    After hearing Feng Yuxiang¡¯s answer, Ji Hongchang and Shi Yousan quickly adjusted their appearance, opened the door and walked in again.

    "Reporter! Ji Hongchang (Shi Yousan) has something to report!"

    "Wellwhat's the matter? Tell me" It is probably because he has watched too much in Chunqiu. Feng Yuxiang's temper has become louder and louder than before in recent days, and his skills have not grown much. Guan Gong's proud temper has learned a lot.  He closed the book in his hand, looked at the two subordinates with squinted eyes, and asked calmly.

    "Report to the division commander! Commander Bai invites you to attend the meeting in the 45th Division."

    "No! His Xiaobai is the division commander, and I am also the division commander! My Thirty-ninth Division is still ranked above him. Why should I come over? Why can't he come over? Tell Xiaobai, if you want to talk about something, come directly to me to talk about it.  Don't put on any arrogant airs for me" After hearing this, Feng Yuxiang suddenly became furious and refused with raised eyebrows.

    Shi Yousan's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how to persuade him. If he replied like this, he might offend others. Feng Yuxiang could say that, but Shi Yousan was the one??Young lieutenant colonel, how can you have such courage!

    Ji Hongchang was still smart and quickly flattered Feng Yuxiang a few times. He belittled Bai Chongxi in his words, but he finally mentioned that General Stanislavsky of the Russian government army was now on the 45th.  The division headquarters, and Zhang Huchen, deputy commander of the 45th Division, personally came to pick up Feng Yuxiang to attend the military meeting, and is now waiting at the entrance of the division headquarters.

    "Damn it! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't speak half-swallowing words from now on. You almost missed my important event!" When Feng Yuxiang heard this, he couldn't sit still. He jumped up and smashed the book in his hand at his friend San.  He walked over, cursing and hurriedly changing his clothes. After putting on his general uniform, Feng Yuxiang strode out the door, shouting as he walked: "Brother Huchen! Haha! Brother Huchen! Send someone over to call."  Lao Feng is all right, why does Brother Lao Huchen have to go there in person" (To be continued)
