    Wearing a uniform with his collar badge torn off, Zhukov was roughly thrown into a cell by the guards.  With the sound of a clang, the iron prison door was tightly closed behind him.

    This is a semi-basement cell built during the period when Tsarist Russia opened up Siberia. Its history is even older than Zhukov¡¯s grandfather.  The cell is not large, only about four or five square meters in size. In addition to the four walls cut out of rocks and an iron cell door, there is only a small ventilation hole at the top of the innermost part that can provide some vague ventilation.  I saw the sunlight shining slantingly outside.

    This place was dark, damp, and there was no bed yet. Zhukov went to the corner and straightened the pile of dry straw on the ground, then sat on the floor.  He was not as frightened and disturbed as ordinary people, and his plain face only had a touch of sadness and helplessness.

    "A bunch of idiots! The Soviet Union will be destroyed in your hands!"

    Zhukov secretly sighed. He was ready to sacrifice himself when he broke into the military meeting. Although he was a little surprised that he was not pulled out immediately and shot, he would never thank those who gave the order to lock him up.  Generals.  In Zhukov's eyes, these people are all pig gongs, and their minds are filled with either straw or a pile of excrement.  Normally, everyone shouts revolutionary slogans sanctimoniously and talks eloquently about theories, but when something big happens, they are so childish that they are worse than a three-year-old child.  The current situation is obvious. It is definitely not as simple as they imagined for the Chinese to slow down their attacks in Krasnoyarsk.  Judging from Zhukov's judgment, the Chinese on the opposite side were accumulating strength, or making some preparations, waiting for the opportunity of a thunderous strike.  At this time, it is really ridiculous that the command headquarters still dreams of launching a counterattack or even annihilating the enemy in Krasnoyarsk.

    "Krasnoyarsk is finished. The 60,000 Red Army in Krasnoyarsk is finished"

    Zhukov sighed sadly. According to his judgment, the Chinese will not give them more time. The terrible attack should be in these few days.  If the gentlemen at the headquarters still face the war with the current defense plan, failure can be said to be inevitable.  Although Zhukov did not know how the Chinese attack would begin.  But he was sure that once the attack started, Krasnoyarsk would definitely not be able to defend it.

    "How is the situation in the army?"

    On the southeast front of Krasnoyarsk, Bai Chongxi stood on a high ground and looked at Krasnoyarsk in the distance with a telescope. A dozen soldiers were on guard around him. After a long time, he put down the telescope and turned around to ask.  .

    "The oil supplies have arrived. The broken tanks are almost repaired." As the chief of staff, Zhang Zhizhong, who knew the current situation of the troops well, replied immediately.

    "Where is the morale of the soldiers?"

    Zhang Zhizhong smiled and said: "Does this need to be said? The fight was overwhelming all the way. Except for some casualties in the infantry division, our entire first armor suffered almost no losses. All the units below were clamoring to attack Krasnoyarsk in one go.  Woolen cloth."

    Bai Chongxi also smiled.  From the beginning of the war to now, he can be said to be in high spirits. As the tip of the spear, the 1st Armored Division has been in uninhabited territory in the vast Russian territory. In just a few days, it has marched hundreds of kilometers and reached Krasnoya in one breath.  Under the city of Erkes.  Looking at Krasnoyarsk not far to the northwest, Bai Chongxi knew the importance of capturing Krasnoyarsk to the entire war situation. This was also the main reason why the General Staff and the Frontline General Command suspended the call.  .

    Krasnoyarsk is an important hub in central and southern Russia. Taking Krasnoyarsk will completely open the way to Moscow.  at the same time.  To the north of Krasnoyarsk is Tyumen. Whether due to war requirements or political reasons, the oil fields in Tyumen are extremely important to China.  Holding Tyumen in hand can enable the Chinese ** team to have a reliable logistics base.

    Now, once Krasnoyarsk is captured, it will be logical to capture Tyumen.  Moreover, the loss of these two places also completely cut off the Siberian Railway and cut off the retreat route of the newly formed Frunze East Front of Soviet Russia, making the initiative of the war firmly in the hands of China.

    The postponement of the attack on Krasnoyarsk was precisely due to this consideration. Although Bai Chongxi was confident that he would use his 1st Armored Division as the vanguard to rush into Krasnoyarsk as quickly as possible and eliminate the Red Army guarding here.  force.  But he also knew that if he did this, although he would win tactically, the gains would outweigh the losses from a strategic perspective.

    Now, the Chinese ** team deliberately slowed down its attack under the city of Krasnoyarsk to give the enemy an illusion.  As a result, the Soviet Red Army was mobilized to mobilize troops from all over the place and assemble here in order to protect Krasnoyarsk, which gave the Chinese side the opportunity to annihilate the entire Krasnoyarsk area in one fell swoop.Excellent opportunity for quantity.  Moreover, the Soviet Union gathered in Krasnoyarsk and put on a posture of decisive battle with itself, which resulted in a void in their rear, especially the lack of guards in Tyumen and other places, and prevented the Soviets from jumping over the wall to destroy the oil fields in Tyumen  and Siberian Railway.

    As long as the opponent is completely defeated in one go and most of the enemy is annihilated, it will be impossible for the Soviet side to react, and there will not be so much time to resettle and destroy the Tyumen Oilfield and the Siberian railway and highway network, so as to provide for subsequent strategic deployment.  With great convenience.

    "Let's go! Go back to the headquarters!"

    After greeting Zhang Zhizhong, Bai Chongxi quickly returned to the headquarters. Not long after they came back, the frontline headquarters sent a telegram telling them that the temporary airport in the rear had been completed, and the rested Air Force was also ready.  New attacks on Krasnoyarsk can be launched anywhere.

    After receiving the telegram from the general headquarters, the 1st Armored Division immediately began to prepare for the attack. Cooperating with the 1st Armored Division to launch the attack at the same time were the air force and infantry units. The people commanding the 101st and 102nd Infantry Divisions of the Infantry Group were none other than Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhizhong.  Seniors, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui.

    After the Battle of Jiaodong, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui continued to lead troops in Shandong. Last year, the troops were transferred to Inner Mongolia by Wu Peifu to form the 101st Division and the 12th Division, serving as the division commanders of these two divisions.  Unlike armored divisions, these two divisions are infantry divisions, but their equipment is much better than that of ordinary integrated divisions.  The entire division uses weapons newly developed by China. The rifles have been replaced by imitation Russian rifles into new semi-automatic rifles. They are also equipped with some submachine guns and trial-type assault rifles.  In addition, in addition to basic equipment, the troops are also equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery and self-propelled artillery, and have a battalion of small motorized troops. It can be said that the 101st Division and the 102nd Division are the current National Defense Force infantry divisions adjusted by the Chinese National Defense Force. They were transformed from the original pure infantry divisions.  As a model for motorized and mechanized infantry divisions, the 101st and 102nd Divisions were placed in the Mongolian Army Group in this war to partner with the 1st Armored Division in order to test the performance of these two units in actual combat.

    Although Bai Chongxi has a high self-esteem, he also made great achievements during the same period in the military academy and served as the top commander of China's first armored force.  But he was very polite to Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui. Firstly, these two people were his seniors. Secondly, Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui had been outstanding under Fang Zida since the Eighth Division. They followed Wu Peifu to defeat Zhang Xun and fought against the Japanese.  , also served as a member of the military observation group on the European battlefield. His military exploits and qualifications were no worse than Bai Chongxi's, and were even slightly better.  To this end, in order to ensure the coordinated operations of the three parties, Bai Chongxi personally visited the headquarters of the 101st Division and the 102nd Division to discuss combat plans with each other separately.

    Late at night on the third day after Zhukov was thrown into prison, Zhukov, who had been sleeping dazedly against the cold wall, suddenly woke up with a strange expression on his face. He tilted his head and wondered what he was thinking.  What? After a while, he stood up suddenly, put his ear against the wall and listened carefully. The more he listened, the tighter his brows became.

    "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

    A minute later, Zhukov rushed to the cell door, banged it hard and shouted loudly.

    "Where are the people! Come quickly! I want to see Comrade Loginovsky! I have an important military intelligence report! Come quickly!"

    A banging sound echoed underground, and a few minutes later a guard appeared cursing.

    "What are you doing? You don't honestly reflect on your problems and you scream at midnight. Do you know the nature of this? You are deliberately destroying the rest of the revolutionary soldiers! Disturbing the normal work and rest system of our army is creating opportunities for the enemy.  This is a counter-revolutionary act!"

    "Shut up! You idiot!" Zhukov's face turned red with anger as he listened to the other party's revolutionary remarks, and he yelled, startling the other party.

    "you you you¡­¡­."

    "Go and report Comrade Loginovsky immediately! The enemy is about to attack! Let him prepare for defense immediately!"

    "You counterrevolutionary! Traitor! What are you talking about? Attack? Where to attack? Who told you? And you told Comrade Loginovsky? Who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications? Bah!" Zhukov said  The yelling guard pointed at him and cursed angrily.

    "Go and report! It's too late! Go and report!" Zhukov, who was holding on to the iron barricade, shouted with anger in his eyes: "You fool, didn't you hear the gunshots outside and stopped? What a gesture.  It is obvious that the enemy is preparing for a full-scale attack. The attack is about to begin. As soon as daybreak, the enemy will launch a fierce attack on us. If we are not prepared, it will be too late! Hurry! Report quickly! "

    "Report! Report your head!" The guard was so angry that he pulled out the stick hanging on his waist and hit Zhukov head-on. He beat Zhukov's head and blood flowed, but he still couldn't stop him from yelling.

    ?"You counter-revolutionary, what nonsense are you talking about! I will let you talk nonsense again, and I will let you report again!" Once, twice, three times, Zhukov was beaten with a wooden stick until his face was covered with blood, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore.  He fell softly, but he still kept saying the words he just said, but his voice became lower and lower lower and lower

    (Happy New Year to everyone! Good luck in the Year of the Horse! And thank you book friends for your concern. My mother is finally fine today.
