    In the Baron's view, Frunze's front army was already a thing of the past, and it was even more like a drowned dog running away in embarrassment.  After capturing Surgut and pursuing the victory, the Chinese Communist Regiment successfully joined forces under Serov City. The victory of this battle is just around the corner.

    After winning the Battle of Serov, nearly 750,000 people from the three major fronts of the Soviet Red Army were wiped out. This result was enough to determine the final outcome of the entire Russian war.  At this time, he had no intention of resting in Surgut, and his heart could not wait to fly to Serov.

    Regarding the cooperation issues raised by the Chinese allies, the Baron agreed without thinking. As before, he handed over the flanks and rear of the large force to the Chinese allies, and he will continue to lead the troops forward!  forward!  They marched on the enemy's corpses and fought all the way to Moscow.

    "Damn it, what kind of war is this? Our Far East Army is not a logistics force. The whole time we are just eating meat and drinking soup from others?"

    After negotiating with the Baron, Zhang Huchen returned to the group military headquarters and issued tasks to each unit.  As soon as he heard the mission arrangements, Feng Yuxiang, deputy commander of the group army and commander of the 39th Division, couldn't hold it in anymore and began to curse.

    Seeing Feng Yuxiang's anxious expression, Zhang Huchen smiled faintly and comforted him: "Brother Huanzhang, I understand your eagerness to fight. To be honest, Zhang, who was beaten all the way from the east, was also very aggrieved. To put it bluntly, I feel aggrieved."  When fighting against Lao Maozi, our Far East Army was the most experienced in the entire National Defense Force. You must know that our Army secretly participated in the war as early as a year before the official start of the war. Whether it is the understanding of the enemy or combat capabilities, it can be said that it is the highest among the National Defense Forces.  Second to none.¡±

    Seeing everyone nodding their heads.  But there was dissatisfaction and grievance in his expression. Zhang Huchen certainly understood what everyone was thinking.  With the official start of war between China and the Soviet Union.  The Northwest Army and the Mongolian Army, which were responsible for the main offensive, have achieved numerous results. With the rapid advancement of the two Chinese armies, hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops were eliminated and captured, and large areas of Soviet land were occupied and liberated.  Such great military exploits have attracted the attention of the whole world, but at this time, no one knew that the Far East Army, which had fought the Soviet Union more than a year earlier than the two armies of the Northwest and Mongolia, even mentioned it and the Frunze Front Army  The first thing outsiders think of as a fighting force is the Far East Government Army of the Russian Empire.  But no one saw that this unit also included one of the most elite units in the Chinese National Defense Forces - the Far East Army.

    Why do generals lead troops?  Isn¡¯t it just to make achievements, get promoted and make a fortune?  Will he even leave his name in history and be respected by future generations?  Compared with the friendly forces of the National Defense Forces that are fighting fiercely in the west, as the counterattack in Siberia progresses, the entire Chinese Far East Army has done nothing at all. It has remained silent and became a bystander, doing the boring job of covering the flanks and rear of the large army.

    This result.  It was like pouring cold water on everyone's ambitions. Seeing the friendly forces fighting the Red Army in the west and making great achievements, but they were doing nothing on their own side and couldn't even find a chance to face the enemy head-on. They had already become extremely jealous.  If this continues.  I'm afraid that when the Far East Army reaches Moscow, it won't get much credit. After the war is over, is it possible to watch others get promoted and make money, while I can't stay where I am?

    "Commander, everyone understands what you said. But we can't continue like this! You don't know, the brothers below are so tired these days that their eyes are red. They are watching the northwest and Mongolian legions fighting vigorously over there.  , but what about us? All the work we did here was Master's work, and what we hold in our hands is not a fire stick. When it comes to fighting, who is worse than the other." Cao Wenlian, commander of the 45th Division, took a deep breath of cigarette and turned the fire stick  He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out, stood up and said.

    It was also his opportunity for Cao Wenlian to become the commander of the 45th Division. Compared with others, he did not have a deep foundation as a division commander who came up from the big head soldiers step by step, so he usually understood his shortcomings. Although the 45th Division was  He is the head of the family, but the main military decision-making power is still in the hands of Zhang Huchen. Cao Wenlian is like Zhang Huchen's butler, helping to manage the army, and he has always kept a low profile.  But today, this honest man couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but complain to Zhang Huchen.

    Zhang Huchen was not angry. He raised his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to calm down.  Then he continued: "You are right. When it comes to fighting, none of us is worse than anyone else. However, the current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing. Due to some diplomatic and political reasons, you have suffered a bit. But today I  I would like to assure you that this kind of grievance will not last forever. There will be a big and fierce battle soon. I also ask you to restrain your troops, prepare for battle, and join the war anytime and anywhere."

    "Is it true?!" Feng Yuxiang stood up suddenly, stared at Zhang Huchen and asked: "When? How big of a battle will it be? Is there an order from the General Staff?"

    "It won't take long, Brother Huanzhang and everyone else, please rest assured.The Army has indeed received a formal order from the General Staff today. As soon as the troops arrive in the Serov area, our Far East Army will officially return to the Central Army's formation. Think about it, by then, are you still afraid that there will be no battle?  "

    "Okay! That's good!" Feng Yuxiang clapped his thighs with joy: "Damn it! If I keep doing this, I'm going to get moldy. I heard that Bai Jiansheng got a lot of credit by joining the Mongolian Army. This guy is not interesting enough.  When I see him, I have to ask him to raise his hand and let us do the work. After all, he is a brother who has swung a spoon in the same pot. Moreover, the 45th Division is still his old army. This is always a face.  Should I give it?"

    "Hahaha! You can rest assured of this. If Bai Jiansheng refuses to give it to him, I, Zhang Huchen, will put a gun to his head and ask him to give it to him." Zhang Huchen patted his chest and promised, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

    As expected, Surgut was officially recovered in the evening.  The baron commanded the troops and did not stop much after they captured Surgut. Except for leaving some garrison troops behind, he continued to command the army to pursue the fleeing enemies. By the morning of the third day, he finally surrounded the enemy troops west of the Ob River.  After a short battle, this force was completely wiped out.

    "I am reporting to you that most of the enemy has crossed the Ob River and seems to be continuing to retreat towards the Khanty-Mansiysk area."

    "Order the troops to continue the pursuit! We must not give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

    "Yes!" The division commander in charge of the pursuit thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Sir, if we continue the pursuit, I'm afraid it will be troublesome, because the enemy destroyed the bridge when they retreated, and our heavy equipment must wait for the bridge to be repaired before it can be transported across the river.  , do you think you should be here first"

    "How long will it take to repair the bridge?" the baron interrupted and asked directly.

    "It will take two or three days at the earliest."

    "Let me ask you, how long will it take to build a pontoon bridge with the capabilities of the engineering force?"

    "Well we will be able to complete a few pontoon bridges later today, but Sir, the pontoon bridges cannot transport heavy equipment. To be on the safe side, I think"

    "No need!" the baron said resolutely: "The enemy is now a lost dog. What matters most to us is not heavy equipment but speed! Do you understand speed? Besides, Frunze's troops were fleeing in embarrassment all the way. They didn't have much weight at all.  equipment, so I decided to build a pontoon bridge immediately, transport the soldiers across the river as soon as possible, and try to surround the enemy in the shortest time. As for the heavy equipment, the repair of the bridge can be carried out at the same time. A few days difference is not a big problem. Elimination  The enemy is the most important, and the opportunity is fleeting, so we must not miss this opportunity!"

    The baron¡¯s order was unquestionable, and the engineers quickly took action to build a pontoon bridge on the river.  When it gets dark, the three pontoons can be put into use.  At this time, the baron asked the troops to advance lightly, cross the river from the pontoon bridge, and continue to march towards the Khanty-Mansiysk area.

    On the second day after crossing the river, the Baron's forwards gathered on the west bank of the river. The scouts sent at this time reported that the troops of the Frunze Front gave up the march to Mansisk without stopping after learning that the Far East government troops had chased across the river bank in the shortest possible time.  The plan to rest and recuperate was to turn around and continue fleeing in the direction of Khanty. It seemed that they wanted to run to Khanty in one go and then withdraw directly from Khanty to Serov.  (To be continued.
