    In the spring of 1918, the Chinese Model Army participated in the war and created a miracle in Siberia and the Far East that has never been broken in the future. In two weeks, it opened up and controlled all the stations and towns along the 4,700 kilometers of the Trans-Siberian Railway. This team  But it only took less than a year to form an army.

    Of course, the Soviet Union's emptiness in the interior of Siberia left opportunities for the Chinese Army to take advantage of, and the Chinese Army's strategy of breaking through at multiple points and using point-based lines to coordinate land and air coordination with infantry and artillery was also beginning to take shape.  As far as his participating armies are concerned, there is no such thing as using a weak enemy to attack a strong enemy with fewer enemies. The emphasis on firepower and mobility is the biggest feature of China's participating armies.

    ¡°The stations and town garrisons along the Trans-Siberian Railway did not seem to be in a wartime state at all. For example, no one could even think of destroying railways and stations and delaying the Chinese Army¡¯s deep advance to the west.

    In other words, the arrogant and autistic old men simply did not have time to come to their senses. The construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway was so difficult in the first place, which indirectly became one of the reasons why the Russians were reluctant to destroy their own railways.

    This spring has been difficult for all Russians. On the one hand, the oncoming food shortage is due to several years of war that have destroyed rural productivity. On the other hand, the Socialist Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, and Bolsheviks have struggled to control the political power and system.  The struggle has caused everyone to indulge in demonstrations and speeches in the streets and revolutions, or coups, and repressions one after another.

    From Irkutsk in the west of Lake Baikal to the seaside to Vladivostok, the local residents along this 4,700-kilometer railway line were unfortunate because their homes, which they thought they would live forever, were suddenly occupied by the intruding Chinese troops.  All resistance in the district was suppressed in the most bloody manner. Anyone who dared to attack the squadron, even if they just threw a stone, would be shot to death and hung on a telegraph pole in the town square or the station for public display.

    The Chinese participating armies maintained such a vast and long occupied area by relying on both soft and hard skills. The soft aspect was to provide local residents with free rations to satisfy their hunger and set up health clinics everywhere they went.  Provide free medical services to local residents.

    The hard hand is that all resistance against the Chinese participating troops was put out at the first time. The Chinese ** team did not leave the railway lines and towns to suppress bandits in the dense forests and snow. This spring they only maintained the security forces in towns and along the railway lines.  Security and order at the station.

    Moreover, the civil affairs of all occupied areas have been maintained by the original local governments, civil servants, and police, but the Bolsheviks are not among them. In fact, the number of local Bolsheviks is not large, and a small number of them have gone to the mountains and forests to become guerrillas.  , most died in battle while guarding the town or entered prisoner of war camps.

    There is only one fate for prisoners of war: being transported back to the coal and iron mines along the Heilongjiang Middle East Railway to perform hard labor. The prisoner policy of the Chinese participating armies is very strange. Before the war, all Soviet soldiers who were willing to lay down their weapons were regarded as civilians. However,  Once the battle begins, you will either be killed or taken prisoner. There is no third way out.

    The Chinese Participating Army promises to protect the personal and property safety of local residents, provided that they abide by the "Regulations on Public Security Management in the Occupied Areas" and do not engage in any illegal and hostile activities against the Chinese Participating Army. Otherwise, they will be the enemies of the Chinese Participating Army, and China  Although the participating troops' iron-blooded fighting against the enemy only lasted for two weeks, it had already made even the battle-hardened Japanese 12th Division shudder!

    Of course, now that they have experienced countless battles in Siberia and the Far East, the new and old soldiers of the four reorganized divisions of the Chinese participating armies, many of them have slowly grown from the recruits who vomited on the ground when they saw the first corpse.  Predator who killed without batting an eyelid on the battlefield. In the battle of Chita, there was even an ace sniper who killed nearly 50 Soviet troops in one battle.

    From Manzhouli and Suifenhe, trains leave and return every day almost non-stop day and night. Food and arms logistics materials are transported out of the country, and coal, ore and logs are transported back. Soviet guerrillas are still active around the 4,700-kilometer Trans-Siberian Railway.  Figures, five kilometers away from the mountain, there are also constant reports of trains being attacked and railways being blasted.

    With the support and connivance of the Chinese participating armies, local residents who had accepted the reality spontaneously organized patrols and road protection. The Chinese Communist Party's method of punishing the guerrillas was very alternative and effective. Wherever the railways were attacked by the guerrillas  In the event of sabotage or attack on the patrol, all stations and towns within thirty miles of the incident site will stop distributing free rations.

    Until the guerrillas are reported and handed over by local residents, they will not distribute food. This can be said to be a waste of money. The guerrillas also need food. This spring, the famine in Russia has become more and more obvious.

    "If the lives of nearby Russian residents were ruined due to the attack on the Chinese troops and railways, then don't blame these local young and old men for the survival of their families and for the sake of the survival of the whole family."??I came here to be a Russian traitor!

    The military discipline of the Chinese participating armies is so strict that the local people can't bear it. Breaking into private houses is a capital crime. If you are not afraid of death, you can go to the local fellow's home and do it. Moreover, the Chinese ** team is not allowed to act alone. They stand guard and patrol, at least.  A group of 2 people, mostly half a class or a class.

    The armband with the word "model" in black and white circles on a red background has gradually become the most beautiful scenery along the 4,700-kilometer railway this spring. Drinking the paste made by the free rations distributed by the Chinese *** team, and then asking them to harm the Chinese people, in  Most people can't do it.

    There is another thing that is difficult to understand about this army, and that is that all transactions are fair. The Chinese paper currency, the New Chinese Yuan, soon replaced the silver coins and became the most useful currency along the 4,700 kilometers of railways this spring. In fact, apart from food  It is provided free of charge per person, and gradually many other daily necessities, sugar, and salt appear in the store, and the prices are surprisingly cheap.

    After the Bolsheviks disappeared and went underground along the 4,700 kilometers of land, officials, landlords, and gentry during the Tsarist Russia gradually became active. Regardless of whether this land belongs to China or Russia in the future, it is obvious that the Chinese respect the private ownership of land.  Yes, the land from landlords will not be confiscated and distributed to landless peasants without compensation!

    To a large extent, this is the same as the free distribution of food, which has won many hearts for China, especially the property owners and landlords. The rich peasants have also put their minds at ease. At the same time, the notice posted by the Chinese participating armies  Again:

    The ** squadron protects all peaceful and kind residents of this land, no matter you are a Jew or an Arab, no matter you are a Russian or a German!  All peaceful and law-abiding residents are protected by the squadron.

    As for Japan, the Japanese army, which had been marginalized in the previous two weeks of military operations, finally came into use. With the completion of the 4,700-kilometer railway line, Japan's military operations into the Western Siberian Plain and the Ural region were put on the agenda.  Agenda.

    The great success achieved by the Chinese participating troops within two weeks of the war not only made the Japanese military eager to eat, but also made the Japanese government and opposition parties finally unite in their opinions, that is, under the current circumstances, strengthening Sino-Japanese cooperation and friendship is a top priority, and any challenge  The thoughts of the Chinese Army must be buried in the heart and can no longer be mentioned casually. Relying on the support of China, the Imperial Army can extend its claws to the rich and oil-rich Great Plains of Western Siberia.

    It was such a rich and beautiful land, with mountains, rivers, forests, coal mines, petroleum, iron ores and copper mines. Looking at the moment when the old Russian polar bear was about to be divided up by the whole world, what if we took advantage of the time when the Western powers of the United States, Britain, France and France were unable to spare their efforts?  The space is taken up, and there will be no place to cry when the time comes!

    Soon, the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters canceled the original Vladivostok Expedition Army and the Xing'anling Expedition Army, which were not worthy of the name, to supplement the Japanese Army's 12th Division, 7th Division and 3rd Division after the Reserve Corps.  When the troops of the three divisions formed the Western Siberian Expedition Force, the commander of the dispatch army was transferred to Taro Utsunomiya, the former commander of the Korean Army and the commander of the Fourth Division.

    The commander of the Fourth Division was succeeded by Tachibana Koichiro.
