    The 25th Brigade of the 9th Division of Li Mingzhong, the brigade commander is He Weizhen, a native of Yongxin, Jiangxi, a tiger general recommended by Bai Chongxi. Like Bai Chongxi, he graduated from the infantry department of the third phase of the Baoding Military Academy. He originally stayed in the school as an instructor, and later  When Wang Geng recruited Bai Chongxi from Guangxi, Xiao Zhuge recommended this classmate who was still working as an instructor at the Sixth Branch of Baoding Military Academy!

    He Weizhen is a good soldier in training and as an instructor. He has a delicate name but a fierce style. Li Mingzhong's main brigade, the 25th Brigade, was kept obedient by this 31-year-old Jiangxi native. He charged into the battle and hit wherever he pointed!  After the Ninth Division crossed the border, it wiped out a Tsarist Russian infantry regiment in the Battle of Borgia. This was the masterpiece of Brigadier He!

    The person who took over Krasnokamensk, the second largest city in the Transbaikal Territory, for Li Mingzhong was the 26th Brigade of the 9th Division of Li Mingzhong. The brigade commander was also a veteran from Jiangxi, and his seniority was older than that of He Weizhen. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life  This guy is also quite famous. He graduated from the second infantry course of Baoding Military Academy. Xiong Shihui is a native of Yi'an, Jiangxi!

    This guy was recruited from the Yunnan Army by Li Jishen. At that time, Xiong Shihui was already affiliated with the 38th Regiment of the 4th Shengtao Division of the Yunnan Army. He joined Wang Geng's Participating Army Training Group as a battalion commander, and then was promoted to the chief of staff of the regiment.  , when the Ninth Division was established, Wang Geng directly transferred him to Qiqihar to become the brigade commander of Li Mingzhong's division!

    The commander of the 27th Brigade, who followed the division headquarters but failed to win the battle, was not an easy person. He was a native of Jiangxi, Liu Zhi, a native of Ji¡¯an, Jiangxi, and a classmate of Xiong Shihui¡¯s Baoding Phase II Infantry Section. He was only 26 years old this year!  Liu Zhi was born into a peasant family and was raised by his grandfather.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbay out out of a private school, once traveled east to Japan, and returned home just as Japan was expelling Chinese students.  Later, he attended Hunan Army Primary School and Wuchang Army Middle School.  At the end of 1914, he entered Baoding Military Academy and graduated from the second batch of infantry courses.  After graduation, he went to Guangdong and served as staff officer under Cen Chunxuan, and then as company commander under Zhu Peide of the Yunnan Yunnan Army.

    This guy was drafted by Xiong Shihui to join the army. Although he was young, he was wise and brave. He liked to use his brains and strategies when leading troops. Therefore, he was particularly favored by the division commander Li Mingzhong and kept him by his side to follow the division's actions.  Half a chief of staff!

    Therefore, the ninth division of the participating army is the 32-year-old Henanese division commander Li Mingzhong. He has three serious Jiangxi veterans who are brigade commanders from the Baoding Military Academy. Xiong Shihui is only 25 years old, Liu Zhi is 26 years old, and He Weizhen is a few months younger than Li Mingzhong, 32 years old.  .

    The division commanders and brigade commanders who participated in Wang Geng's model army are generally relatively young. Most of the brigade commanders have educational backgrounds from Baoding Military Academy or Japanese Military Academy. On the contrary, the division commanders are probably just graduates of the 16th Mixed Brigade from the 16th Composite Brigade.  ability.

    Borja (Russian: §¢op3r) is the third largest city in the Transbaikal Territory of Russia. It is located along the Borja River (a tributary of the Heilongjiang River), 349 kilometers southeast of the capital Chita. The reason why this place is important is that it is the center of Siberia.  The major railway turns from Chita to the first railway hub of the Manzhouli branch of the Middle East Road. To the southwest, there is a road leading to the northeast of Outer Mongolia. Of course, in 1918, this road was only half-built.

    Going north from Borgia, there is a road leading to Nerchinsk, 200 kilometers to the north, which is also one of the goals of Division Li Mingzhong.

    The population of Borja was not large, probably less than 13,000. This allowed the Chinese officers and soldiers participating in the war to see what it meant to be sparsely populated. In 1918, the population of Siberia in 1918 was a big city with a population of more than 5,000. Of course, here  In addition to businessmen, the largest number of immigrants are the descendants of political prisoners who stayed in Siberia after being sent to Siberia by the Tsar.

    On February 28, 1918, in addition to the rapid advancement of the East Route Army and the West Route Army on the east front, Wu Peifu's attack from Kyaktu on the west front was also quite smooth.

    Wu Peifu's 3rd Division of the Participating Army is considered to be the first-class main force among the Participating Army Model Army. It is on par with Wang Geng's 1st Division. In terms of actual combat experience and hardships, they have to advance 600 miles to capture Culun and wipe out the entire army in one week.  Sun Liangcheng, commander of the 7th Brigade of the Third Division in the main cities and strongholds of Outer Mongolia, the main force of the Third Division, named Liangchen, is from Jinghai, Tianjin. Although he is only 25 years old, he is a senior graduate of the third batch of the special class of the Mainland University.  , joined Feng Yuxiang's army as a soldier in 1912.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, this guy was Feng Jun's "Thirteen Taibao", also known as one of the "Five Tiger Generals". Under Wu Peifu's superb use of troops and coordination, this guy performed so vividly and exquisitely that the entire seventh brigade belonged to me in the first battle.  My first-class main brigade is bound to win.

    Wu Peifu's style of attack on the Western Front was different from that of the East and West armies on the Eastern Front. They combined the wheeled armored regiments of the Third Division and the wheeled armored reconnaissance battalions from the three brigades.  Together with the brigade artillery regiment, engineer battalion and supply battalion of the 7th Brigade, a purely mechanized armored brigade was formed and handed over to Sun Liangcheng to take the lead!

    Provided reconnaissance escort to Sun Liangcheng¡¯s armored brigade are 2 SE5 fighter squadrons and 3 DH4 reconnaissance bomber squadrons.

    Sun Liangcheng¡¯s temporarily formed armored brigade left Kyaktu and headed straight for Gusinovorsk, 100 kilometers to the north., there was only one battalion of Tsarist Russian troops stationed in that small town, but they actually refused to surrender. They hid in the town hall building and resisted with Maxim machine guns. Sun Liangcheng left a wheeled armored company to monitor, and at the same time called for air support to bomb the opponent.

    And the armored brigade passed through the town non-stop, heading straight for Ulan-Ude, the main hub station east of Lake Baikal on the Trans-Siberian Railway, 120 kilometers to the north!

    In Siberia, Russia, the indigenous people in small towns and settlements no longer have the bloody spirit of their ancestors who came all the way to Siberia to open up territories. Many of them are lumberjacks and farmers, and many are descendants of convicts. China  The leaflets dropped by planes participating in the war had different rhetoric on the shores of Lake Baikal.

    In addition to protecting the lives and property of residents, the reason for sending troops is the old-fashioned "In view of the unstable situation in Soviet Russia, the Chinese Communist Party is here to protect its expatriates on the shores of Lake Baikal!"

    The aboriginal people of Greater Siberia may be descendants of the Daurs, Mongols, and other nomadic peoples, but the Han people will definitely not be the majority. Instead, the Russians may be more numerous. These second and third generation successors of Siberia  , apart from knowing that Tsarist Russia is no longer called Tsarist Russia, and that the Tsar has been driven out of power and imprisoned, what else should we do? As for the war, there are naturally many conscripts sent to the Eastern Front to fight to the death with Germany and Austria as cannon fodder, but never  People have thought that the war would come from China to their own side!

    It¡¯s understandable that Petrograd and Moscow might be occupied by the German devils. After all, didn¡¯t Napoleon also occupy Moscow back then? But who can invade Siberia?  Who would come to this place where birds don't poop?  Except for the trees and forests, the weather is freezing to death. If the weather hadn't warmed up a bit at the end of February, the Chinese would have been able to sweep away the snow that blocked the roads for half a year, not to mention the inexplicable rush over!

    Fortunately, from Tsarist Russia to Soviet Russia, the October Revolution ended in bloodshed in January. At this time, Admiral Kolchak was planning to establish a new provisional government in Ufa in the Ural region. In fact, in the previous life in March 1918, Kolchak  Crosby was appointed as the military minister of the provisional government. Of course, in November, he would launch a coup to overthrow the provisional government and declare himself the supreme governor to fight against the new Soviet Russian regime in the west.

    Kolchak was considered one of the best generals of Tsarist Russia in this era. Although he was a prisoner in Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War, it did not prevent him from later becoming the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. After the February Revolution in Soviet Russia last year  He announced his support for the provisional government, and then went into exile in the United States for two months. After the October Revolution, he fled to Japan and returned to the country. After the Constituent Assembly was banned, he publicly called for the establishment of a new provisional government to protect the sanctity of the landlords and bourgeoisie.  Inviolable private land and property!

    Because of this, the people of Siberia are in a mess. The tenant farmers have a slight yearning for the land laws of the Soviet Russian government, but they don¡¯t understand how they can allocate the land of the rich peasants and landlords to themselves.  Isn't that robbery?  After allocating land to yourself, will you become a rich farmer or develop into a landlord?  What will happen when the land cultivated by our family is taken over by other landless people?  ?  ?
