The mutiny launched by the Russian Federal Security Service will naturally not escape the eyes of Qi Yiming. After all, Nikolay Makarov, an important member of the mutiny planning team, is also a double agent of the Strategic Bureau, so he will report everything that happens to Qi Yiming. strategic bureau. After Qi Yiming learned about this situation, he thought about it for a while and finally decided to take advantage of it. Taking advantage of the Samara mutiny, he ordered Yankov to send the Siberian Army to invade the Urals and occupy as much territory as possible .
The Siberian Army was naturally reorganized from the former Soviet Army. Qi Yiming did not send a large number of Russian Red Police soldiers to join. However, after some heavy training by Yankov, the Siberian Army's combat effectiveness is still considerable, at least better than At the same time, the Russian army was powerful. Not only that, Qi Yiming also used the production capacity of the Red Alert Base to privately provide Yankov with a batch of Chinese foreign trade weapons, which are export versions of weapons used by the PLA, slightly weakening in strength.
Yankov selected two divisions from the Siberian Army, with about 30,000 soldiers, and used these Chinese weapons to form two medium-armored divisions, namely the Independent 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and the Independent 1st Infantry Division of the Siberian Army. The Soviet Army's original mechanized infantry divisions were actually called motorized infantry divisions. However, after the Siberian Army became independent from the Soviet Union, they also began to follow the mainstream of the world and call them mechanized infantry divisions.
Soldiers use Type 21 automatic rifles instead of AK4, and the tank is also equipped with VT-IA2. This is the second major modification of the VT-l series of tanks developed by Norinco. VT-IA is actually a more electronic Type 3, while the VT-IA2 version has improved more details, such as improved night combat capabilities and enhanced armor defense.
Purely in appearance, the VT-IA2 resembles the Type 99 tank, especially the turret equipped with wedge-shaped armor. However, there are still many differences that can be seen. The main difference is that the observation port of the Type 99 is in the center below the turret, while the VT-IA2 is similar to the Type 3, on the right side below the turret.
In addition to VT-IA2 tanks, there are also a series of infantry fighting vehicles such as VNlIVNl, and pL46E- and other artillery equipment. It can be said that the firepower of the two independent mechanized infantry divisions of the Siberian Army may be stronger than the three or four friendly divisions combined.
After a period of training, these two weapon divisions have almost achieved a certain level of combat effectiveness. However, Yankov did not rush to send these two divisions to the battlefield. It can be said that this is his trump card unit. At the same time, Shui'er's Chinese weapons themselves are also quite difficult to explain. After all, China has not formally recognized Siberia and the Far East.
Therefore, the Siberian Army sent to the Urals mainly used Soviet-made weapons. It was not particularly large in scale, with only three divisions. It was just that the victory was sudden, and the Makashev Army was not interested in fighting.
The Siberian Army fought with the Makashev Army in Tyumen, but the resistance of the Makashev Army was not particularly resolute, and it was obvious that the Siberian Army had a stronger air force, and the Siberian Army dispatched a large number of attack aircraft. Even the bombers took the lead in air strikes on the unprepared Makashev Army, and the ground troops followed closely behind. The Markashev Army, which was knocked unconscious by the air strike, was surrounded by the Siberian Army without a good fight. In the end, it was impossible to escape. I chose to surrender.
It was still very cold in Siberia in February, and Makashev¡¯s army never thought that the Siberian army would attack on the ice and snow. The Siberian Army that launched the surprise attack was fully mechanized, marched very quickly, and did a good job in early reconnaissance, so the ice and snow did not hinder their progress, but instead caused trouble for the soldiers of Makashev's Army to escape.
Another Siberian army also successfully captured Kuryu in the south, and even the Makashev army stationed there surrendered without any resistance.
It wasn¡¯t until the Siberian Army reached beyond Yekaterinburg that it encountered a tough enemy. The elite unit of the Makashev Army, the 34th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, was originally ordered to go to Samara to counter the rebellion, but when the enemy attacked from behind, it had to withdraw again to confront the Siberian Army.
The two armies fought a battle in Zarechi, dozens of kilometers east of Yekaterinburg. Both sides each dispatched a division of troops and faced off head-on on the plains. The 34th Guards Division set up an artillery position with its back against the lake, and launched several rounds of relatively violent artillery attacks before the Siberian Army reached the enemy. Not to be outdone, the Siberian Army also counterattacked with artillery. Moreover, the frontline commander tried to use a two-line outflank method to first eat the artillery of the 34th Guards Division, but the 34th Guards Division immediately dispatched tank troops to compete with the assaulting Siberian Army on the ice field.
Most of the armored units of the Siberian Army are equipped with T tanks, while the 34th Guards Division is mainly equipped with T and T8 tanks. The Siberian Army has the upper hand in terms of quantity, but the Markashev Army has the upper hand in quality. The battle was actually evenly divided, and both sides suffered some losses. However, the Makashev Army still achieved its combat goal and blocked the Siberians from Yekaterinburg. After the previous violent advance, the Siberian Army finally had no choice but to attack Yekaterinburg. Instead of resting and recuperating, they gave up their attempt to capture Yekaterinburg quickly.
Makashe has been retaken in SamaraHe was shocked and angry. First, he was betrayed by his subordinates, and then the insidious guy Yankov actually attacked him from behind, and even reached Yekaterinburg in a short time. If it weren't for the desperate struggle of the 34th Guards Division, I am afraid that Now all the land in Asia has been captured by Yankov.
However, it seems that Makashev is in bad luck, and bad things happen one after another. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief that the Siberian Army was blocked and stopped advancing, Leopold also brought new news - after learning that the mutiny failed, Yeltsin and Grachev were still unwilling to give up, and even mobilized the original troops. The Russian army that dealt with Chechnya moved from Volgograd to the northeast along the Volga Mother River. The purpose is self-evident, which is to knock down Makashev by force while his military strength is greatly reduced.
Makashev even suspected that Yeltsin and Yankov were colluding. One side instigated the rebellion, and the other side used the army to cover it, and then formed an encirclement situation with two sides attacking, completely eating him up. However, Leopold sneered at this. He believed: "Yeltsin and Yankov have no basis for cooperation at all. They are in the same boat. Even if they carve up the Volga-Urals, they will not work, because the more the other party gets, the more they get." The more dangerous it is. So I¡¯m more inclined to think it¡¯s a coincidence.¡±
Even if Makashev knew it was a coincidence, he was still anxious. He said: "To our east is Yankov's army, to our west is Yeltsin's army, and the power in our hands has been weakened too much. Although the Safin Brigade exists It gives me confidence, but the number of other troops fighting is getting smaller and smaller, which still worries me. Comrade Leopold, do you have any good suggestions?"
Leopold thought for a while and said: "Fighting on two fronts is definitely not possible, because we do not have such strength yet, especially since this mutiny has damaged two complete divisions of your commander, whether it is Yeltsin or Yang Yankov and Yeltsin are far more powerful than us, but we are not without any vitality, because as I said before, neither Yankov nor Yeltsin want to see the other party grow, so they are attacking us. Although they have the same thoughts, it is difficult to achieve cooperation.
If I am not mistaken, Yankov actually attacked us for the oil in Tyumen and for more land. This has actually been reflected since the establishment of Siberia and the Far East. They all have a strong desire for land, although I It's not clear why they have these thoughts. Once we understand what they want, we can prescribe the right medicine. "
Makashev stared at Leopold and asked, "Why don't I understand what you are talking about? Do you have any good methods to resolve our crisis?"
Leopold smiled and said: "Yankov wants land and resources. It doesn't matter. We will give it to him and let him withdraw his troops. And we have a real enemy to deal with, and he is Yeltsin."
Makashev said in disbelief: "Certain territory to Yankov? This is impossible."
"Why is it impossible? Of course I am not suggesting that you give the land to Yankov directly, but I hope to use the land as a bargaining chip to get something from Yankov."
"what do you want?"
"Although Yankov and Novozlov separated the two countries, they actually wore the same pants. They reorganized their troops and isolated about 200,000 troops who they thought were not loyal enough, and now they are hanging there. They don't use it very much, but these 200,000 troops are still combatable troops. Just because they don't dare to use them doesn't mean that we don't dare to use them. Since Yankov wants land, we can take everything east of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River. The land was given to him, but he had to hand over those troops to us.
And when we have troops, we can turn around and deal with Yeltsin. Western Russia is the essence of this country. Most of the population lives here and most of the industry is here. As long as Yeltsin is eliminated, you will become the legitimate leader. President of Russia, we can gain more power. How to knead Yankov and Novozlov at that time, isn't it just a matter of one sentence? "
Makashev felt incredible about Leopold's unbridled thinking, because it was impossible no matter how he thought about it, not to mention that the Siberian Army now actually controls most of the land east of the Ural Mountains, with only a few such as Yekaterinburg. The region is still resisting. Asking him to exchange the land he had already obtained and give away nearly 200,000 horses, Makashev felt that if it were him, he would definitely not exchange it.
But Leopold was full of confidence and said: "Believe me, Yankov will change. The Ural region will be replaced with 200,000 soldiers and horses, complete equipment, and an armistice agreement valid for three years. If Yankov If that's not enough, we can even teach him part of our nuclear arsenal."
"Give him the nuclear bomb too, Leopold, are you crazy?"
The albino patient smiled slightly and said: "Are nuclear weapons important? If you want to continue to mix, no one dares to use nuclear weapons to attack their compatriots. In fact, it is just a symbol. Besides, as long as you kill Yeltsin, isn't it? Can we get more nuclear weapons?¡±
