    November 7, 1917, early morning.

    Southeast of Vinnitsa, in the narrow and cold frontline command room of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, several faces were uncertain with the flickering flames of kerosene lamps.  An Guoliang stared at the small note on the table, and his fingers almost blistered from the cigarette butts.  Next to them, Shi Xiaolou and Wu Peifu, who had just returned from inspecting the troops, had blazing anger in their eyes. Zhang Zhidan, who had also just arrived, stared at the note several times in detail, picked it up and said, "That's right! Look here.  The German character "DE" has a little extra under it. It looks like it is scrawled, but it is actually the special code of our security bureau. There are very few people in Russia and Europe who can understand this kind of small seal script, and even fewer can write it.  , so this method was included in the communication methods we originally set."

    After Zhang Zhidan circulated the telegram to several people, he looked a little nervous and said: "There are very few cases where messages are directly conveyed in Xiaozhuan. This shows that the intelligence agent is in trouble or urgent matters. He only does this when he cannot contact his contact person.  , will it be handed over to the military or other trustworthy people in this way."

    "So, is this credible?" Wu Peifu looked at Lin Baotang who came to report: "Have you seen that person's face clearly?"

    Although he had a startling glance, Qin Jian still left a deep impression on Lin Baotang and said: "I only saw the side profile. From the appearance, it looks like a Xinjiang Huihui, but it also looks a bit like a Caucasian Tatar. It seems that the Russian military officer said this  He was quite polite, I'm afraid he was a senior official from above. By the way! He touched me on his left shoulder and immediately covered it, so he must have been injured."

    "Senior official, have you been injured?"

    While several people were secretly surprised, Shi Xiaolou remained silent.  Zhang Zhidan is not only Mei Sheng's brother, but also a young man brought out by An Guoliang from Gansu in his early years. His words are completely credible, so no matter who that person is, he can definitely be one of his own.  Using Xiaozhuan to deliver a clear message meant that he had learned the inside story, so he reminded himself in such a hurry.  As the only officer here who knew the entire "Sunrise" plan, it was originally planned that the Second Army should quickly retreat to Tsaritsyn and take control of the Volga River railway bridge after another unrest in Russia, citing political instability as an excuse.  At the same time, Li Liejun will quickly cut off the connection between Yekaterinaburg and Ufa, seize the key road in the Ural Mountains and cut off all telephone lines, so that the east of the Ural cannot understand the situation here.  Finally, when Russia decided to withdraw from the war, the four divisions continued north to Yekaterinburg to cooperate with the garrison in the Urals.  Evacuate all industrial facilities in eastern Russia.

    I thought that even if those people from the Poor Party wanted to attack me, they would wait until they stabilized their power in St. Petersburg, but I didn¡¯t expect that they actually wanted to let go of the defense line and lure the German troops in. These bastards who regard the country as a child¡¯s play!  Thinking of this, he became a little anxious. The lives of nearly 80,000 brothers in four divisions were at stake. What should he do?

    "I think we should just stop doing nothing and retreat to Kiev first. Let Mason seize the train station and collect all the trains that can be collected. If there are more than a hundred trains, the first batch of troops will be able to withdraw to the Urals in three or four days.  "After Lin Baotang finished speaking, Zhang Zhidan immediately jumped up: "No! If you withdraw now, don't you tell people clearly that we have penetrated inside? We must ensure his safety!"

    "He is just one person. We have two divisions here, plus the two resting divisions in Kiev, that's 80,000 brothers!"

    "That's not possible. Nothing has happened in Russia yet. How can we leave easily?"

    The two of them had a heated argument.  Wu Peifu slowly stood up and walked to the map. He pointed at the continuous battle line worriedly and said: "It is not that simple to withdraw. Once we retreat significantly, the Russian army will be defeated after all. The fall of Vinnitsa is certain. This generation of railways  The developed water network is dense, and a random retreat will definitely lead to pursuit by the Germans, and they will definitely not be able to return to Kiev."

    An Guoliang agreed: "Brother Ziyu is right. If you want to retreat, you must retreat in a planned way. A hasty retreat will only cause chaos."

    "What should we do? Do we really have to wait until the Russians sell us out before leaving?" Chen Yushi stood up. During the Sino-Japanese War, he saw the 33 tactics and the brave fighting methods of the old troops of the National Defense Forces. After he returned, he attacked the 37th Brigade  After rigorous training, he was promoted to the commander of the 122nd Composite Division due to his outstanding performance in leading the troops after the expansion. This veteran officer from the Xinhai period was also aroused at this moment. He rolled up his sleeves and said: "I think I might as well find an excuse first and reply first."  Nitsa. If something happens to Russia, we will grab the train and go to Kiev."

    Faced with everyone's concerns, Shi Xiaolou also walked to the map, raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly asked: "Zhidan, are you here to raise money for the train?"

    "Yes." Zhang Zhidan said: "Last month there was news that a train factory in Minsk was about to close down, and the superiors asked us to buy the trains they have and transport them back to the Urals for standby."

    "No need to bother!"

    In Shi Xiaolou¡¯s categorical words.  Everyone looked at him.  He walked to the map and pointed at Kiev, circling his finger: "Kiev is the largest industrial city in Russia, also?In the rear area of ??the Southwest Front, there are about 500 to 600 Russian trains gathered here. Adding in the surrounding areas and Tsaritsyn and other places, it is not a big problem to gather more than a thousand trains.  Since these poor parties don't take the country seriously and are ready to sell us to the Germans, then don't blame us for being rude!  Look, you guys, my idea is to stay put here for the time being and let the following strengthen the surveillance of the Caucasus Cavalry Division.  In the past few days, Meisheng was asked to find a way to seize a few trains from Kiev, and then asked two armored trains to come over and put up a defensive posture. As for the artillery and other heavy equipment that could be transported, they were secretly transported back to Kiev, and the soldiers also packed up their belongings.  Be prepared to evacuate at any time.  Once they really dared to let go of the defense line and lure the German troops in, we immediately pretended to be defeated and retreated to Vinnitsa, gathering all the trains and horses along the way and returning to Kiev.  At the same time, Mei Sheng was asked to leave the cavalry brigade and lead the 2 infantry brigades of the 123rd Division back to the Urals first to put in a posture of withdrawing troops, and then asked Peng Shouxin to follow him.  After passing Tsaritsyn, they immediately seized the bridge on the pretext of protecting the railway bridge going home.  Seize all trains, trucks and horses along the way, and kill anyone who dares to stop them!  There are only three Russian infantry divisions in Kiev that have withdrawn to rest and recuperate. Those Russian soldiers have already been panicked and unable to avoid the battle. Why don't we just do nothing and forcefully take over this place in the name of defending Kiev!  I believe that as soon as there is a fuss, the Russian troops will disperse in a hurry!  After the city was captured, they sent cavalry to collect all nearby trains and horses, pretending to be prepared to go home.  If the Poor Party really dares to make a unilateral peace with Germany after it is finishedthen I am not a vegetarian. Before leaving, I will simply move everything that can be moved from Kiev and blow up everything that cannot be moved!  Let these guys taste the consequences of betrayal and see how they can stop the German army without Kiev!  "

    Wu Peifu was already angry. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "This is a good idea. It is not easy for Li Liejun's division to control Yekaterina Fort. Meisheng's two infantry brigades can be of great help after they return. As long as they get the Russian  When there is news of trouble, the two divisions in Xu Shuzheng's hands will definitely capture Chita and Irkutsk overnight. As long as they take this place and cut off the phone lines, the middle area will be blind and deaf! Let's put out two divisions and go back first.  With the posture of withdrawing from the country, the Russians will no longer be entangled and desperate. I am afraid they are still eager for us to leave. But if you want to prevent the German pursuit, at least one brigade must be placed behind the Caucasus Cavalry Division to support  Only if we stay one night can the large army have a chance to leave, so who should we send?"

    Going upstream in the rebel army to block the influx of German troops from the gap is definitely a matter of narrow escape.  An Guoliang moved his lips and threw away the extinguished cigarette butt. Just when he was about to speak, there was a sudden rush of horse hooves outside. Facing the morning light, everyone saw only a few war horses galloping towards here.  Chen Yushi recognized one of the cavalrymen and said in surprise: "That's He Dahai. Isn't he in the telegraph room in Vinnitsa?"

    Before the communication cavalryman named He Dahai could reach him, he jumped off his horse, raised his telegraph newspaper and shouted: "Commander, it's bad! Russia, the Russian idiots started fighting on their own!" Everyone was still saying just now  He was saying that he would wait until there was another civil strife in Russia before withdrawing troops. Unexpectedly, this big news came before he finished speaking!  Shi Xiaolou ran over and grabbed the telegram.  Wu Peifu and others also gathered around, and when they saw the message on the telegram clearly, they all opened their mouths.

    "The sound of artillery was heard in St. Petersburg, and the Poor Party led troops to attack the Winter Palace of the Provisional Government

    On the street, in the alley, in front of the square!  In the early morning light, several training blank bombs fired by the cruiser Aurora opened an era, and the whole of St. Petersburg was awakened by the sound of cannons.  Red Guards wearing red armbands filled the streets and alleys like a tide. Ordinary people who were dissatisfied with the status quo were also completely aroused by the artillery fire. The sound of gunshots, slogans, and cheers rang through the sky. Countless people rushed towards Russia in the sunshine.  The Winter Palace, the seat of the provisional government, and St. Petersburg, which had not yet emerged from the last turmoil, groaned and gasped again in the explosion.

    Jacob raised his rifle and rushed to the front of the crowd, the red flag waving in the wind behind him. When the team marched to the Winter Palace, they did not even fire, the guarding officer opened the door himself.  Then the women's guard appeared on the steps. After a few exchanges of fire, those who tried to stop the revolution were completely defeated.  The color red began to spread to every corner of the Winter Palace. After the revolution to seize power without bloodshed was successful, and a Red Guard red flag was planted on the highest roof of the palace, people also welcomed the figure they considered their savior.

    Vladimir Lenin walked up the high steps of the Winter Palace. His figure was bathed in the golden sunshine, so compelling.  He smiled and raised his arms to greet the tens of thousands of waiting people: "We succeeded! We occupied this place. This is a victory for the proletarian people of all Russia! I assure you that new elections will be held soon."  will begin. I believethe majority will eventually replace the minority! We will also respect the choice of the majority."

    At this moment, he was so high-spirited that he seemed to see a bright future.

    At this moment, everyone who listened to this speechArms cheering.  They believe in him, believe that the country will return to calm after the new election, and that the poor party will truly become the majority in Russia But is this really the case?
