Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news of the fall of Sludanka immediately shocked the whole of Russia!  Although this is just a small town, it has a strategic location, and more importantly, it is very close to Irkutsk, the core of the Zabaikal Military District and Russia's second largest city in the Far East!

    At this time, in Irkutsk, the army is far away and the rear defense is empty. Only a large amount of arms and supplies are stored here.  Russia and the new China have been in confrontation on the border for a long time. They are not unprepared. They have accumulated large amounts of arms and supplies at every important border location.  As soon as the news of the fall of Sliudanka came here, the Russians here were immediately shocked. The city went completely crazy. Russian citizens all over the city were scrambling to find the in-demand train tickets and retreat back.  No one thought that as soon as the war started, the enemy would advance the battlefield so far!

    Where is the army ahead?  Have they all eaten shit?  The military district immediately sent a message to Sergey Kirilenko's headquarters, but was unable to contact him. Only the connections between the following armies were still intact.  Now, after summarizing the various news received recently, the Russians finally seem to have figured out a little bit of the Chinese campaign thinking from the fog, is it possible?  The reinforcements sent out are already surrounded by the enemy. Is the situation dangerous?

    The military staff had to make the worst guess based on the capture of Slyudanka that General Kirilenko's headquarters might have been taken away.  Although the Russians couldn't figure out how the special train they were traveling on disappeared hundreds of kilometers away from the border.  The elusiveness of the Chinese has given even the best military advisers of this era a headache.  They had to repeatedly force themselves to break through the limitations of their military common sense.  To guess the strategic purpose of the Chinese.

    This worst suspicion quickly followed the radio waves calling for help from Irkutsk, spread across thousands of kilometers, and spread to various surrounding war zones!  Chita war zone.  The Vladivostok theater and even the steppe theater as far away as Central Asia received this information. Most Russian generals thought it was nonsense.  It is difficult for them to understand this situation. They prefer to believe that Sludanka was some kind of surprise attack on the plains thousands of miles away by the Chinese with the help of the Mongols.

    But when Nikolayevich received the battle report on the train, his brows furrowed deeply.

    He believes that the staff¡¯s analysis is very possible.

    The Chinese army headed directly towards Ulan-Ude, then Kirilenko lost contact, Slyudanka was captured, and the small town Gusino Ozersk disappeared silently, putting this series of information that had been learned on the map  The conclusion deduced by the staff in this way is actually the only possibility. No matter how the Chinese did it, it was their goal.  There is no doubt that there are hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in the middle, and even Irkutsk is under threat from the enemy.

    He was completely shocked by this possibility. He never thought that the situation was so serious and that the enemy's appetite was so great. He not only wanted to cut off Siberia, but also wanted to completely eliminate the effective strength of the Russian army.  There are a total of 500,000 Russian troops in the entire Far East. In the Zabaikal Military District alone, hundreds of thousands were trapped by the enemy this time.

    How can we fight this battle?

    In fact, what matters is not how strong the enemy's combat power is. The key is that the enemy's tactics of deep penetration and direct penetration are really terrifying.  Kirilenko's command headquarters suddenly disappeared without a trace, and in the rear of the Russian army, enemies suddenly appeared without anyone noticing!  Where are all the border patrols?  Isn't there any trace of the enemy found in the territory thousands of miles away?  In fact.  On land, such a large force marching thousands of miles without any knowledge is completely impossible.

    Under such circumstances, the situation in Post-Baikkal collapsed out of control almost in an instant.  We have become enemies everywhere, and now Russia has even greater strength in the rear.  They are already beyond the reach of the front line.  Could it be that all this is because of the Air Force?  Is this the power of the air force?

    That mysterious Chinese Air Force!  Until now.  The Russians still don't know how all this happened. In fact, the whole world is still in the research stage as to the role that the newly emerged air force can play in the military. It is a new thing that breaks through the limitations of the traditional battlefield.  It is difficult for people to have a clear concept of it in a short period of time.

    All of this is like the naval military theory in history. It was not until the modern era that started hundreds of years ago in the Age of Discovery that its strategic and tactical theory gradually took shape!  But the Air Force?  Except for China, other countries have not even come up with something truly formed, let alone its function.  Although new fighter aircraft have emerged in various countries, they are still in the exploratory stage on how to use them in combat. Now, the Sino-Russian war taking place in front of us seems to have unfortunately become a stage for the Chinese Air Force to perform.  !

    In the future history, perhaps this battle willHave an amazing historical position!  Grand Duke Nicholas realized this with his unique military acumen. Unfortunately, Russia seems to be playing a supporting role in it.  This feeling is undoubtedly painful. The enemy you are facing is as powerful as you, and the important thing is that Russia has no way of knowing how this powerful force works.  Not to mention how to deal with it.

    When did China¡¯s military technology reach this point?  Is this the legendary war decided by technology?  Technology determines everything, so much so that the role of human power and national power in war has become insignificant at this moment. Everything is dominated by the military advantages brought by new technology and new weapons!

    Just an air force determines the trend and outcome of the war.  Russia was almost at a loss from the beginning.  It seems destined that no matter how hard you struggle, it will be of no avail.

    Nicholas thought about it for a long time and suffered for a long time. The situation of the entire battlefield finally took shape in his mind. Unlike those old-fashioned generals, he had realized the decisive role of the Chinese Air Force in this war. He  Finally made up my mind,

    "After the order was given, the Baikal cluster gave up the reinforcement of Ulan-Ude and quickly returned to Irkutsk. All Siberian armies immediately moved into defense. No one was allowed to attack without my order! Ordered the British and French reinforcements of aircraft and pilots  Deploy to Krasnoyarsk as quickly as possible and be ready to reinforce Irkutsk at any time"

    As soon as he said this, the accompanying French consultant spoke:

    "Dear Grand Duke! Please forgive me for interrupting. As far as I know, Krasnoyarsk is more than a thousand kilometers away from Irkutsk."

    "Yes! You are right!" Grand Duke Nicholas replied appreciatively. This consultant had obviously done his homework in advance.

    The French consultant¡¯s expression changed and he took a sharp breath, as if he was trying to find a more tactful way to say it, but in the end he had to give up:

    "Please forgive me for saying this, my beloved Grand Duke! If this is the case, the aircraft deployed to Krasnoyarsk will not be able to reinforce Irkutsk Our aircraft have insufficient range and cannot fly at all.  place!"

    "What? The voyage is not enough" Archduke Nicholas was completely angered by the French adviser's words. The unsatisfactory war had reached the limit of his endurance!

    "Excuse me, my dear French friend, are French planes worse than Chinese planes? It's obvious that Chinese planes did it. Chinese planes can cross the border and knock me down in my hinterland. Is it possible that in my heart of China?  On my own territory, I can¡¯t rely on my allies¡¯ aircraft to stop a once backward colonial country?¡±

    The consultant was so frightened by Nikolai's anger that he was speechless and speechless for a long time. Finally, Kuropatkin was there to persuade Nikolayevich. Only after the atmosphere eased did the consultant dare to tell the truth again.  ,

    "Dear Your Majesty the Grand Duke, although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that according to the size of the intelligence, the range of the Chinese airship is indeed far longer than that of our aircraft. Their combat range is far  Much bigger than our plane.

    " Moreover, even in the manufacturing technology of aircraft, the Chinese are probably not weak. They first started to develop airships, and it is very likely that they have been studying aircraft. You must consider this possibility in advance.  That is the China you are facing now. It is already an advanced country at the forefront of the world's military technology, not a backward former colony.  "

    This French consultant seems to have a background as a technical scientist. He speaks very honestly. With a few stubborn words, he can easily destroy the last glimmer of hope hidden in Nicola's heart!

    Without the advantage of aircraft air combat, it seems that the Great Russian Empire has no way to prevent the Chinese from defeating the Russian troops in the Far East!

    "No, no matter what, I still have to try! If it doesn't work in Krasnoyarsk, then fly directly to Irkutsk!" Nikolayevich said through gritted teeth.

    Therefore, at the urgent request of Archduke Nicholas, through several emergency transfers, the 120 Camel II fighters supported by the UK and the Newport 13 fighter aircraft supported by France were already the most powerful among the current great powers.  After exhausting manpower and material resources, the latest fighter aircraft developed beyond the level of the times crossed tens of thousands of kilometers of sky and arrived in the cold Siberia.  The pilots and aircraft arrived in Kranosyarsk in advance for final pre-war maintenance, but the technicians and support staff were still far behind.

    Now, the only good news for Grand Duke Nicholas is that these primitive aircraft can take off even on flat ground in an emergency, and there is no need to build a special airport.  (To be continued)
