    September 1919, Andijan.

    When Blyukher arrived here quietly, this famous city on the Central Asian Silk Road was already in chaos and turmoil. It was full of refugees and people preparing to leave. Bodies and blood could be seen everywhere after months of fierce fighting.  Hundreds of thousands of Slavs, Uzbeks, Tatars and Uighurs who escaped from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan gathered here. They took their families and prepared to head to the Gafurov Pass from here to Uzbekistan.

    With the Soviets in East Kazakhstan and other places being wiped out one after another, and tens of thousands of members and supporters of the Poor Party being arrested, Andijan has actually become the last stronghold of the Poor Party in East Turkestan.  After holding the city for two months, the Filchner Front, together with the Poor Party members and guerrillas who escaped from various places, finally drove away the White Guards here and strengthened the city's defense. Currently, a total of 20,000 people are stationed here.  Although they could barely stabilize the front, the guerrillas collapsed like snowy mountains, which still made Frunze, the commander of Moscow and the Eastern Front, anxious. He knew very well that if the four areas were cleared, then Dutov could be declared free of worries.  !  The poor party's hard work in eastern Central Asia for more than a decade is in danger of being annihilated. The regime in Soviet Turkestan, which has a weak foundation, is likely to collapse in a chain!

    So after reporting back to Moscow, he asked Blyucher to come to Fergana to help Magzi and Suleymanov, and bring the 51st Division with stronger combat effectiveness.  Blyucher is also very worried. In addition to worrying that the Poor Party will be completely defeated from the four regions, he is also worried that the withdrawal of the 51st Division will weaken the defenses in West Kazakhstan and Orenburg. Unfortunately, Moscow has decided to eradicate Gol first.  Chak and Dutov.  This will inevitably block the Chinese National Defense Forces here to prevent them from entering the more important South Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

    "Welcome, Comrade Blyukher." Suleimanov was very excited to see him: "It's great that you can come. Now the comrades are in urgent need of support."

    "Don't worry, General Frunze is sending more troops here. Troops from South Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will also arrive in the next few days." After a few words to calm people's hearts, Blyukher asked: "What's your situation?"  How about it? How many more soldiers are there?"

    "There are three regiments of cavalry with 2,300 people, and the rest are infantry." A man with thick eyebrows stood next to him.  He is Ma Gezi (Ma Sancheng).  When speaking Russian, there is a strong Shaanxi accent, which requires careful listening to distinguish.  Although he and Suleymanov managed to escape from Almaty, the newly formed cavalry suffered as many as three thousand casualties.  On the way to escape, they were frantically pursued by Chinese cavalry, which was reminiscent of the pursuit and interception half a century ago.  If we were not familiar with the terrain and crossed the Tianshan Mountains first, we might have been wiped out long ago.  But even so.  After arriving here, there were only a thousand people left, and almost all their weapons and equipment were lost. In the end, they had no choice but to join the Fergan Front and hold on to this last stronghold together with the guerrillas coming from all over.

    He continued: "The total number is 22,000, 16 cannons, and 20 machine guns. We are also preparing to recruit soldiers from refugees fleeing from various places, but there are not enough guns."

    There are not enough guns anywhere. After the destruction of heavy industry, the Red Army still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers using cold weapons such as long knives, so Blucher has no choice but to say: "Comrade Frunze has decided. You will be classified as Turkey  The 2nd Infantry Division of Stan, the South Kazakh and Uzbek troops were organized into the 1st Infantry Division. The 51st Infantry Division I brought with me has also arrived at the Gafurov Pass to form the New Fergana Front. I will serve as the commander, Solo  Comrade Kolov becomes the commander of the 2nd Division, Comrade Suleymanov serves as the government, and Comrade Magazi serves as the commander of the cavalry brigade. Together we defend South Kazakhstan, Andijan and Uzbekistan. We cannot continue to move westward. Comrade Lenin  The Party Central Committee needs us to defend this place!"

    I heard that they were promoted into a teacher, everyone was very happy, indicating that Moscow was finally determined to work here!  But Bluucher is not optimistic. Although the 1st and 2nd Divisions are both masters of 20,000 people, they were formerly miscellaneous guerrillas. Their composition is complex, not to mention the staffing, which is also very messy.  Although the 51st Division is a direct force, its number is relatively small, with only about 8,000 people.  What's worse is that the weapons and equipment are so lacking. The entire army has less than 40 cannons and less than a hundred machine gunsit's not as good as a brigade of the National Defense Forces. Fortunately, the terrain here is mountainous and complex, and the National Defense Forces are on an expedition to the northwest.  Supplies are also extremely difficult, so there is still room for maneuver.

    "Planeenemy plane!"

    When Blyucher was arranging the battle plan, exclamations came from outside.

    After rushing out of the house, he and everyone immediately saw two three-engine large Albatross transport reconnaissance aircraft appearing in the sky over Andijan, circling over and over as if searching for something.  "How come there are Chinese planes here?" Suleimanov was very surprised. You must know that Andijan is 1,200 kilometers away from the Karakum Fortress in East Kazakhstan. It is impossible for current aircraft to cross such a long distance, and even airships are very difficult to reach.  .  Kashgar is even more impossible, as it is located on a plateau and is a short distance from Ulu.Qi is also more than a thousand kilometers away. How can the Chinese possibly transport the gasoline needed for the plane there?

    Is itAlmaty?  Bluher's face changed slightly. He was surprised how the Chinese established an airport in Almaty in such a short period of time. If the enemy could use aircraft for reconnaissance for a long time, it would be much more difficult for him.

    On the plane, Cui Manshan shook his head with a grin, fixed himself with a seat belt, and then stuffed the long 25mm machine gun shell belt into the gun barrel. He also saw that the 12.7 Venom Fang machine gun in the tail direction was also ready, so he immediately opened the shooting compartment.  Door.  Strong winds suddenly poured into the cabin, causing the plane to sway, but the pilot quickly controlled the attitude.

    "Fire!"

    With a shout, Cui Daoguo, who dared to hit Japan on the head with a Molotov cocktail, pointed at the small group of cavalry below and pulled the trigger.  The belt-loaded 25mm cannon is a weapon prepared for future aircraft of the Air Force. Since no aircraft can carry it yet, everyone has come up with the idea of ??using transport aircraft to carry it for ground attack.  As the engine horsepower becomes more and more powerful, these Albatross transport aircraft, which were only equipped last year, can carry six 12.7mm heavy machine guns or two 25mm rapid-fire machine guns at a time to launch an attack!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away  At the same time, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun at the back was even more brutal, and a 250-round ammunition belt was used up in just a few minutes.  The Poor Party soldiers on the ground obviously did not expect that there would be cannons on the plane. They were completely stunned because there was no concealment at all.  25mm fragmentation grenades were not as good as artillery shells, but they could not withstand the dense numbers. When two planes passed by each other, the machine guns and cannons formed two terrible lines of fire and death zones, causing the people below to tumble into chaos.

    Unfortunately, the ammunition load of the Albatross was still too small, so Cui Manshan stopped after attacking for a while, and occasionally looked for important targets to fire a few shots.

    But he soon became excited again, because four Dapeng bombers appeared in sight.  In order not to interfere with the bombing, the albatross was raised again and left the airspace.  After more than two years of fierce fighting on the Western Front, and with some of the air force combat methods instilled by Yang Qiu in later generations, the air force operations of the National Defense Forces have become relatively mature. When the two Albatross left, the Dapeng bombers based on the Gota as a template began to lower their altitude.  Since the Fergan Front had no air defense capabilities at all, and rifles were not even a match against bombers, the pilots boldly lowered themselves to an altitude of 500 meters and began dropping bombs on the Poor Party positions near the Andijan Oil Refinery.  Three 125kg standard aviation high-explosive bombs left the cabin and roared towards the ground.  Looking down from the sky, three terrifying fireballs were formed after the bomb exploded. The shock wave instantly overturned nearby people, horses and buildings, and a mushroom cloud rose over Andijan for the first time.

    Dai Jintang put down the telescope and secretly thought that it was a pity that the four bombers could only carry 12 large bombs, and the bombs were dropped with little accuracy, so it was completely impossible to cause much harm to the poor party.  But this is already very rare. You must know that in order to allow the air force to participate in the war, the Northwest Theater used the Turkish-Western Railway (Turkistan Branch Novosibirsk Railway) roadbed built during the Tsarist period, mobilized 10,000 civilians and more than 20,000 prisoners of war to work day and night, and spent 4  In September, the light rail left by Japan was finally laid from Barnaul to Lake Balkhash, and began to extend to the Almaty Krai.  However, due to the small volume of light rail transportation, it was necessary to ensure that the army could only support one air force brigade. It also used 200 trucks and 1,000 dedicated carriages to finally repair the Almaty temporary airport five days ago.

    Fortunately, the Air Force has nothing major to do in the northwest now. It is nothing more than reconnaissance. The real battle still needs to be solved by the Army.

    Dai Jintang put down the telescope and turned to look at a bearded Russian officer beside him: "Colonel Monstrov, the south will be left to you." This officer named Monstrov was Dutov's subordinate, and he had two subordinates.  The more than 10,000 armed men were the largest White Guard force of this generation.  After he was driven away by the Fergana Front of the Poor Party half a month ago, he joined the 18th Mountain Brigade, preparing to follow behind to avenge him.

    80mm and 120mm mortars were quickly set up one after another. Colonel Monstrov was very envious of these new equipment. You must know that he only has a few cannons with nearly 20,000 people, while a Wehrmacht brigade has less than 6,000 people.  More than 60 cannons of various types!  More than 200 grenade launchers and nearly 300 machine guns!

    Boom boom boom boom¡­.

    Before Monstrov and other White Guard officers could wake up from their envy, several violent explosions came from 6,000 meters away. They were all army officers loyal to the Tsar, and many of them had participated in the just-concluded European War, so they met  After seeing the fireball, my eyes immediately went straight 150mm heavy artillery?  !.
