    On August 13, 1913, Cao Chong, commander of the Kulun Front, received a call from the General Staff of the Imperial Armed Forces, ordering the start of action. As for the specific action plan, it was very simple: the army crossed the border and invaded Siberia directly!

    Now that the war has been decided, there is no need to hide it, no need to find too many confusing reasons, with absolute strength, complete strategic preparations, and abandoning the previous style of pretentiousness, the new Chinese Empire's political attitude is  So simple and direct!

    In this way, after two days of preparation, on August 14, 1913, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially submitted a declaration of war to Russia. Almost at the same time as the declaration of war was submitted, the Kulun Front Army in the Great Mongolian Theater in the north of the empire launched two divisions.  The Mongolian cavalry took the lead and crossed Kyakhta on the Sino-Russian border and invaded Siberia brazenly.  As soon as we crossed the border, we headed towards Ulan-Ude, an important transportation hub on the Siberian Railway in northern Russia, east of Lake Baikal.  At this time, Russia was still confused by China's declaration of war.

    There is no reason, no long discussion, and even the justice and rationality of the war are thrown away. Russia is simply informed that the two countries have entered a state of war.  This, is this a declaration of war from the Chinese Empire? It¡¯s like child¡¯s play.  When the Russian court received the full text of China's declaration of war, they were almost stunned. China's arrogant and domineering war posture made Russia, which has always been the domineering side, unable to react at once.

    Is this Chinese Empire really so bold? It is sure that it can defeat the great Russia in cold Siberia.  Until now.  Tsar Nicholas II still couldn't believe it.

    The most mysterious man who controlled the Russian court, Father Rasputin, was praying piously to Nicholas II.  Nicholas II replied:

    "Don't worry, dear Nikolai. God will give you a smooth war in the Far East, and you will not lose the pearl of the Russian Far East. But the important thing is that you have to go all out and maybe replace those incompetent Far Eastern officers.  , it would be a good idea to replace him with someone you are closest to, the most famous and outstanding general in the domestic military!"

    Rasputin's words were exactly what Nicholas II wanted. He had long been dissatisfied with his uncle, the Grand Duke Nicholas, who was always bossing him around. However, he had always been indecisive.  Personality and deep fear of the great prestige of this imperial uncle in the military world.  Making him afraid to take action against it.  Isn't this the best time now?  Rasputin's words reminded him.

    "This is a good idea!" Nicholas said when he came down to discuss with his queen.

    So, Nicholas II appointed Grand Duke Nicholas as the new governor of Central Asia and the Far East, and immediately left for the Far East to take charge of the situation in the Far East.  When the generals changed, Nicholas II once again made a big mistake when he was fooled by the combination of women and magicians.  Although Grand Duke Nicholas's military command quality is indeed very strong, changing generals at this time will undoubtedly make the situation in the Far East more chaotic.

    August 20th.  The Cullen Front Army and the forward Wu Luzhen Division of the Fourteenth Army arrived at the north side of Lake Gusino, near the small town of Gusino Ozersk.  One hundred and ten kilometers southwest of Ulan-Ude, they encountered the Russian army.

    After the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian Imperial Army really learned a painful lesson.  The rigid war thinking that advocated hand-to-hand combat in the past has been completely reversed, keeping up with the rapid development of modern rapid-fire firepower.  Russian Army in the Far East.  Even though transportation and maintenance are extremely inconvenient, it still insists on being equipped with a large number of artillery and machine guns.  Especially the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.  This can be called the Russian Army's biggest equipment improvement in recent years, and its strategic significance has been tested in wars around the world in recent years.

    The biggest change in the Far East Army comes from this.  "Let the trenches and machine guns turn the Chinese into corpses, and let the roaring blizzard in Siberia become the cemetery of the rampant Chinese!" Grand Duke Nikolay Nikolayevich, the newly appointed governor of the Russian Far East, said at his residence  Li yelled like this.

    This is the situation Wu Luzhen is facing now. He is facing about a division of Russian cavalry. Judging from the prior intelligence, reinforcements came from the east coast of Lake Baikal.  After encountering the scout cavalry equipped by Wu Luzhen's forward, on the plain terrain around the lake, the Russians did not consider launching an immediate charge and taking advantage of their cavalry. Instead, they dug trenches on the spot and organized a defense around Gusino.  A defensive posture was adopted around the small town of Ozersk.

    "Ha! I didn't expect that the arrogant Russia would now start a defensive war!" Wu Luzhen smiled at his chief of staff Jiang Fangzhen.

    "Haha! Of course, defensive warfare, in fact, this is Russia's trump card! If it is used against us, we should be flattered!" Jiang Fangzhen and Wu Luzhen looked at each other and smiled.

      The Russian Empire has always given people the impression of being arrogant and domineering. In fact, in the military circles, everyone knows that in the hundreds of years of war history of the Russian Army, what it is really good at is strategic defense.  Whether it is the history of the previous battles against Europe, the battles with the grassland peoples, or even the subsequent war history of World War I and World War II.  The best tactics of the commanders produced in Russia are to use early large-depth defense to wear down the enemy's logistics, and then use large mobile groups to outflank and defeat the enemy.

    Now, the enemy has resorted to this trick again, which is also a commonplace.  But it also shows that Russia has learned its lessons in the Russo-Japanese War and does not dare to underestimate the current Chinese Imperial Defense Force.  Now, it depends on whether the Imperial Wehrmacht, the sharpest spear in the world today, can pierce Russia's old but resilient shield.

    ¡°Ulan-Ude¡¯s defense preparations must not be complete!¡± Wu Luzhen said.

    Jiang Fangzhen was also very sure, "Yes! It must be. Otherwise, the enemy should break away from our troops and confront our army here, giving up his mobility advantage. There is no doubt that the enemy will continue to defend Ulan-Ude.  Prepare to buy time. On this plain, if a cavalry division can survive, it will be extremely detrimental to our attack on Ulan-Ude. The enemy is sacrificing itself as bait, forcing us to divide our troops!"

    The two looked at each other.  It seems that the unforeseen invasion of the National Defense Forces is indeed a headache for Russia.

    The Chinese Empire¡¯s sudden and unreasonable dispatch of troops indeed disrupted Russia¡¯s steps.  Judging from the situation of Imperial Air Force aerial reconnaissance.  The enemy's troop deployment in several areas of Siberia, Transbaikal, the Far East, and further west in Novosibirsk has not yet been unified. The entire Western Front, after learning about the troop dispatch of the Kulen Front, rushed here.  While rushing, Siberian Railway trains transport supplies and reinforcements.  Almost around the clock.

    As for the eastern front, the Far East from Nilchensk to the east is based on several strongholds along the Siberian Railway, with no intention of reinforcing the west. On the front, China's Northeastern Front Army across the border is still eyeing them.  .  Due to the temporary change of generals by the tsar, the new governor of the Far East has not yet arrived, and has not received the deployment from above, and the situation in the entire north has become worse.  Now Russia is in a situation of fighting on its own.

    The situation is extremely favorable to the National Defense Forces.

    The news was summarized to Cao Chong, commander of the Kulun Front Army. Cao Chong couldn't help but laugh, "Russia really thinks that their defenses are all made of iron. A few cannons and a few machine guns are an invincible defense? Haha! Then let us be the first.  Use a sledgehammer to smash Ulan-Ude and cut off Siberia. Let¡¯s show them what modern warfare is!¡±

    "Now I give the order!" In the war room, all the staff members were shocked when they heard the sound.  They all stood together with their feet together, and then came down with a snap.  There was silence in the room.

    "Order the Yan Xishan Department of the 11th Army to follow in the footsteps of Wu Luzhen's Department as soon as possible, and the two armies will go north to the direction of Kabansk to intercept the enemy's subsequent reinforcements; order the 12th Army and the 13th Army Lan Tianwei and Zhang Shaozeng's troops to move east to Peter  In the direction of Rovsk, encircle Ulan-Ude in a roundabout way. As for the final breakthrough, it will be completed by the Air Force and the 15th Army. After the order is issued, each army must not delay and must complete their respective tasks before thirty days!"

    "Yes!" The staff officers received the order and hurriedly sent it down, clarifying the target. The 200,000-strong force of the Cullen Front finally officially launched. On the vast grassland, the three armies formed three arrows, heading towards a wider area.  Expand.  Ulan-Ude, the most important city on the east coast of Lake Baikal in Russia, is about to fall under siege by hundreds of thousands of troops.

    At this time, Grand Duke Nicholas and his command had just arrived in Novosibirsk by train, still thousands of kilometers away from Ulan-Ude.

    ¡°Space, the huge strategic space in Siberia, is our most effective weapon.¡± Opposite Nikolayevich sat General Kuropatkin, the former Russian Army Minister and the Governor of the Far East during the Russo-Japanese War.

    To understand the situation of a person or country, the most effective way is to get it from his enemies, and as a failed person, the advice from his mouth may be more valuable than the advice from the mouth of the person who defeated him.  Nikolayevich thought so, so he reactivated Kuropatkin from refrigeration and became his staff in this Far East campaign.

    Although the experience of Kuropatkin's failure was given by the Japanese, in Nikolayevich's eyes, China and Japan are not much different. They both have the same yellow skin and black eyes.  They are all so aggressive when they stand up!

    "Orientals are a group of people who do not respect the value of life. Once a war breaks out, they charge like a group of desperate wild boars. And the most terrifying thing is that this kind of offensive is continuous. Under the fire of Maxim machine guns, only  ?Thousands of people were killed in a short while, but the momentum of the charge would not be cut off.

    Death is not scary to this nation at all. For them, the journey of charging is like a journey to heaven. Without going to the front line, you will never understand the stupidity of these Orientals!

    Under such an offensive, you can't even retreat, you can only push forward.  Because once you retreat for the first time, the front can no longer be maintained, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!  Although it is very painful, I still want to tell you that painful experience. In Northeast China, the Japanese army once chased us for hundreds of kilometers from Fengtian Tieling to Siping, never stopping!  The mountains and plains are filled with Japanese people who are howling like crazy.  Terrible Japanese, they never seem to need a break!  When you fight against the Orientals, you must take into account this terrible resilience of the enemy!  "

    In the midst of Kuropatkin¡¯s frightened speech, Nikolayevich¡¯s brows slowly relaxed, and his expression became more and more relaxed.

    "Well! Thank you, dear Cooper! I think I know how to deal with the Chinese!" (To be continued)
