Siberia in February is still a world of cold wind and ice.

On the desolate snowfield, the ruins of the railway line are vividly remembered. Every distance away, there are rails that have been blown up and twisted and collapsed roadbeds. The settlements on both sides of the railway line have been abandoned, the wells have been filled to death, the military station warehouse and the materials that were not too late to be taken to the lou are burned, and the teams covered with white snow suits are moving forward silently.

The cavalry team searched and advanced in the front, leaving road signs, and the marching column behind formed a combat detachment with the infantry regiment as the core. The Siberian sled dog, which looked like a wolf, pulled the all-steel heavy-load snow trough, set up machine guns, fully armed soldiers wearing white snow camouflage uniforms, were alert to the surrounding situation.

Behind were dismounted cavalry leading the ancient horses, and the army team composed of the Ewenks skillfully used a large number of reindeer to pull the load-carrying iron prying to carry food, wine, combat supplies, luggage, kerosene, diesel, gasoline and alcohol, and even telegraphs, telephones, and wires.

As the main force, the motorized troops are all composed of dog fighting light battles, crawler artillery tractors, armored cars and crawler ammunition trucks modified with dog fighting light battles. Due to poor off-road xing energy, the trucks were abandoned. The large number of crawler armored vehicles and six-wheeled armored vehicles that were concentrated have almost become transport vehicles for shipping materials, loading with oil, ammunition, accessories, and even field dry food and jerky.

Further behind, the Chinese army's railway engineering troops completed the rail replacement and restoration of the railway from Chiktu to Irkutsk through sectional construction, replaced the Russian-specific wide-gauge railway with international standards, and continued to pave the railway west with tenacious perseverance.

The most precious thing is oil.

Oil can drive vehicles, keep warm, and bonfires can be easily lit.

Oil Indica is a powerful weapon for this army to fight against the ice and snow wasteland.

After transferring the headquarters to Irkutsk, Lu Zhenming, the commander of the Central Xianbei Front, was not satisfied with waiting for the good news. After receiving the command from the base camp to "take Krasnoyarsk before the end of April", Lu Zhenming had greater ambitions: compete with the Hezhong Front, which went north from Lake Balkash, to see who took Novosibirsk first!

Lu Zhenming, as an outstanding figure in the Cining system created by Zheng Ying, has never been a general who is willing to work on the map of the rear command center. He immediately decided that Chief of Staff Xiao Ming would stay at the command center, and he led his front finger to follow the westward detachment to complete the seemingly impossible snowy march!

After the capture of Irkutsk, according to the orders of the base camp and taking into account the actual situation of the troops, Lu Zhenming and Xiao Ming decided to leave most of the main forces, and mainly cavalry, and some elite infantry from the north, especially those from the ancient, northeast and northwest, were drawn. The imperial guards were the main force, and the mixed defense force advanced all the way westward. At the same time, a large number of troops were drawn from the border army and the National Defense Forces to form a combat spokesmanship as logistical support. The combat troops greatly strengthened the firepower, but there were only 30,000 combat soldiers, and the non-main combat soldiers of the army, including the military husbands, medical staff, etc., also reached 30,000 to be organized into the B cluster.

Yao Wu, the commander of the former Qinglong Cluster, took the lead, and Cai Bang was the one who was the pioneer at the forefront.

Because the Russian defenders implemented the tsar's scorched earth policy, moved residents, destroyed railways, burned settlements, cleared or burned supplies, the Chinese army's advance did not encounter much resistance, and the biggest enemy was the cold and desolation of Siberia.

The more you go along the Siberian-Asia Railway, the deeper you go northwest, the colder the climate. The sight of you is the world of ice and snow. Many soldiers who are not equipped with black snow glasses and do not pay attention to protection are even suffering from snow blindness and have to be treated. The Chinese army used a large number of heavy airships to airdrop supplies, medicines, and recovered wounded and sick people who were difficult to treat on the spot.

By late February, the CSIFF B cluster had accumulated a non-combat reduction of 7,55 people, of which 1,500 people were frozen to death or died of illness, and more than 2,200 people were disabled. Such a terrible number of casualties finally caused a fierce debate in the Chinese Army Base Camp for the first time.

Many civilian officials, including some senior officers of the Army Department, have begun to suggest slowing down and move forward westward until the spring warms up and in May after the spring flood, many officials even accused General Lu of ignoring the lives of soldiers. Many people were moved and said that many heroes did not die on the battlefield, but fell in such a blind move before victory, and died in an unknown and worthless manner.

Faced with overwhelming accusations, Zheng Yu had to ask the Army to give an explanation.

Surprisingly, Jiang Sheng, the elder general of the Army General Staff, had a particularly tough attitude this time. He publicly announced that "the westward advance is my proposal and has nothing to do with other staff members." Then he bowed deeply to Zheng Yu and said simply and briefly: "Please believe in the National Defense Force."

The call from Zhang Pushun, the former commander of the Suzaku Cluster on the Imperial Guards, was extremely simple: "The Imperial Guards will smash all enemies in front of them, whether they are tangible or invisible."

Zheng Yu finally took a group of officials to the hospital to visit the wounded who returned from the north. Seeing many injured people who had to amputate due to severe frostbite, some were still sleepy, some were haggard, and some were full of indifferent expressions. Zheng Yu couldn't help but feel heavy.

When asked whether they regret it, some soldiers couldn't help but feel sad, but none of them regret it. They often just smiled foolishly and said that they were not lucky, but the pensions they came down were enough to support their families.

Zheng Yu knew this was the truth. For the National Defense Forces, whether it is the lowest-level soldiers or the highest-level officers, the pension for the death penalty is equivalent to ten years of salary. Disabilities are paid in two to eight years according to Cheng, and the families of the fallen and the disabled themselves will be resettled to work within their ability.

Zheng Yu knew that there was no rule out that the military had specially arranged it. But he also believed in his own eyes and could feel the true emotions in the hearts of these soldiers.

The morale of the army is available and the people are used.

This battle was occupied by the right time, place, people and others, and it was the most comprehensive battle. For this battle, the royal industry has hidden its strength for many years, and the army has also made important strategic deceptions, making full use of Tsarist Russia's contempt for the race and misjudgment of its young opponent who was on the shelves. In addition to the smooth implementation of the north wind, various factors gathered together to achieve such a favorable situation.

The people in the journey are half ninety.

If you have reached this point, once you stop, you may have been wasted all your efforts.

He never overestimated the Chinese people's expansion and ambition to the outside world. The "Central Empire's Hua Tianbao for thousands of years has long been soaked in the culture of the entire nation that it has become too much peace and self-restraint. Thoughts such as "too much is not enough" and "being war will perish" are even inevitable.

Since the first battle with the war, Zheng Yu has been trying to use all his strength to maintain the people's spirit, so that the people will still maintain an enterprising attitude in the face of brilliant victories and increasing losses while fighting for a long time.

He firmly believes that everything he is doing now is related to this country and the nation's plan for the next thousand years. He must firmly seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him and try his best to improve the country's geopolitical situation. "Weak Russia as much as possible, strengthen his own strength, and gain sufficient strategic depth to ensure that even if this country faces an attack from the entire European one day in the future, it still has enough strategic depth to drag the enemy down. And ensure that the local area will not be destroyed in a terrifying war, and will not be completely defeated from a first-class power by the world war like France and Germany in another time and space.

For this long-term plan, Hua must choose to abandon some things and unswervingly implement his plan.

The base camp finally decided to "turn the war to the end" and never stop!

The westward troops of the Central Xianbei Liberian Front were not aware of all this. They just endured all sufferings and fought tenaciously with all enemies, including nature, with the greatest efforts and perseverance. Although these soldiers who had just shown their loyalty, courage and skills in the national war have long been worthy of their responsibilities, under the encouragement of victory, under the stimulation of patriotism, driven by the sense of responsibility of the soldiers, and under the guarantee of generous military salaries and honors, they still carried out the order of "carrying the war to the end" without fail.

They boiled the frozen bacon and dried vegetables with snow water, mixed the melted snow water into the spirits and put it in a kettle, and then used fire to cremate it after freezing. After hunger and fullness, they created history and changed something with the unique patience and tenacity of the Chinese nation.

In the snowy field, the team holding the dragon flags firmly advanced west along the ruins of the Siberian Railway. The red-bottomed golden dragon treads the sun flag and the black-bottomed fire dragon battle flag were particularly conspicuous on the snowy field, and seemed to never fall, nor would it fall.

Central Asia.

Lin Suren's southern Hezhong Front Army Group captured Tashkent and Dushanbe as early as November, and the northern clusters took from the north of Balkhash, and captured Semipalatinsk in early December, and soon set off to continue northward, with the target directed to Novosibirsk: another cavalry was guided by agents of the General Intelligence Agency to cross the Gobi and advance towards Karaganda.

The two clusters of Nan'an have completed their pre-war goals. Now they are out of the country for combat, and it is not easy to transfer materials. Even Lin Suren was a little hesitant and asked the base for instructions.

Zheng Yu's reply is extremely simple: "Working with yellow sand and wearing golden armor!"

Lin Suren understood: "The goal of this front army is to go west and north!"

"I will never return until Loulan is destroyed." Lin Suren's order was issued and the whole army was excited.

Since the loss of the four towns in Anxi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, no Chinese army has stepped into the Pamir Mountains and the Aral Sea west of Lake Balkash. Seeing the local tribes, the Khanate revolts and attacks the Russian army and leads the way. Wherever the Chinese army goes, they are not only invincible, but also have more "food and slurry".

At Lin Suren's request, the urgent military railway built by the Chinese army from Dihua to the west had been built to the Uzbeli Pass and the Ala Mountain Pass. A large number of military supplies were unloaded here and shipped to trucks, carriages and llies. The military supplies were transported to Tashkent and Akdoka by the military forces, and then transferred to the Central Asia Railway to transport them to the front line.

The Chinese army on the southern line had a full set of desert Luoke dresses, headscarves, tying tui, high boots and collars, and cufflinks were tied tightly. The neck was wrapped with several layers of scarves. The officers wore sunshade sand mirrors, led by the cavalry team, followed by regiment-level combat troops, then the security forces and Luo team, and the main force gathered in Tashkent and Shimaerhan to change clothes.

On the northern line, the Chinese troops headed north along the Central Asian Railway to attack Barnaul, and then entered Novosibirsk, and then cut off the traffic from here to Irkutsk.

The panicked remnants of the Russian army and local garrisons, according to the Tsar's order, had to adopt a scorched earth policy to respond, burning settlements and towns, destroying railways, and retracting them back to Omsk.

Since then, Siberia, which is east of 80 east longitude, has fallen into the control of China.

In the Khanate of Shiva and Bukhara, because the king had been completely Russianized and had remained in the Russian headquarters for a long time to serve in the imperial Russian army, the two Khanate had a revolution under the arrangement of the north wind and formed the "People's Assembly" to declare the dethrone of the Khan.

The ambitious nobles and the leader of the horse bandit saw the opportunity at this time, and they all used the banners of "National People's Liberation Army", "National Advocate Army", and "National Self-reliance Army" to spread Islamist ideas, advocated jihad, and announced that they would "kill all white men, force all white women, turn their children into slaves, and build a pure Muslim country." Wherever these mob armed forces went, they killed residents and plundered people's wealth. Even many local wealthy households were tortured and severely tortured. After capturing all their property, they killed their wives and daughters on the spot.

With the collapse of the Russian ruling order, in the tribal world, various melee such as "blood revenge", "tribal revenge", "tribal conquest and "snatching water and grassland" also began, and the grassland fell into a standard anarchy.

The advancement of the southern Chinese army was not fast, and it could even be said to be a little slow.

On the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, Central Asia, which is mixed with ethnic groups, has become a terrible hell under the collapse of order. With the attacks and killings of new warlords, Russian remnants, Shiites and Sunnis, and various troops, Muslims fled in large numbers, and countless refugees flocked to Bos in the south, or the Russian mainland in the north, which is still under Russian control.

The Chinese army is still orderly consolidating logistics, setting up troop stations, establishing military-controlled regimes, collecting materials, collecting hydrogeographical information, and sending forward troops to advance westward with a steady trend.

With the advancement of the Chinese army, more and more local mobs' evil deeds were revealed and violent. The reporters of the army posted photos and used telegraph machines to shoot news and telegraphs, spreading the oaks of the incidents here all over the world.

The military's news prosecutor originally asked his superiors whether to intercept, but the final order was released.

Soon, European, American and Chinese newspapers published reports of the "mob gang" in Central Asia being murdered by civilians, especially when two French missionaries (in fact, the General Intelligence Agency suspected to be French religious spies) were killed by mobs, the criticism and accusations from Europe and the United States reached their peak.

Lin Suren immediately issued a secret order.

Subsequently, many leaders of the "rebel army" received invitations from the vanguard of the Chinese army to "discuss matters of national autonomy and national construction" and "those who fail to reach the deadline will be considered abstention." The leaders who believed that they were "meritorious" certainly would not miss the opportunity to be extra rich, and all brought their close associates to the meeting. As a result, they were controlled by the Chinese military police during the banquet. Subsequently, the Chinese Army Special Military Court pronounced a verdict in accordance with the Military Control Regulations of the Occupied Areas. Fifty-sixty-two people were executed on the spot, 1,864 people were detained, and all their entourages were disarmed and awaited trial.

With the order, the Chinese cavalry and motorized teams raided many "rebels" camps under the guidance of airships and guides and resolutely eliminated them.

After this battle, most of the local ambitious militants and slave owners of the old tribe were wiped out, their property was seized, and most of the livestock and stored daily necessities were distributed to poor herders.

With the help of the "Ethnic Political Working Team" who accompanied the army, the local area quickly established a new alliance and flag system, and poor herdsmen formed basic units through settlements, regularly elected representatives, and maintained local order under the leadership of the military authorities.

Lin Suren's military control authorities announced military control regulations and a complete set of political, social and cultural regulations, reorganized the old Tsarist Russian ruling machine, abolished Russian, changed Chinese to the official language, and allowed local residents to use ethnic languages ​​in daily life.

However, there is one thing: the border is blocked, and those who escaped will not be allowed to come back in order to "anti-espionage".

After a major chaos, the Central Asian region, which has a population of more than 150,000, has only 70,000 to 80,000 ethnic minorities left. Most of the Russians, former Bosian territorials, and Shiite Muslims in the south, have been killed and injured and fled.

In the West Sakyan Mountains northwest of Kobdo, another Chinese army is crossing the low pass and advancing firmly towards the northwest.

After the end of the ancient Gobi Battle, they drew the ancient books and the Northeast Chinese cavalry infantry from the Suzaku cluster, and mixed the formation, and transported them to the Kobudo by trucks through the combat readiness road from Kulun-Kobdo. Then they gathered a large number of mule and horse chariots formed by the local border army, the elite of the border army and the ancient western border troops, and equipped them with a large number of cold-proof clothes transported from the country, and then began to advance northwest.

This unit is called the "A Cluster" and is commanded by General Zhang Pushun, the former commander of the Suzaku Cluster. The goal is to directly take Barnaul along the direction of the later Russian Méng Highway, and then Novosibirsk, and to attack the Hezhong Front Army North Cluster, which was attacked along the Central Asian Railway, to capture Novosibirsk as soon as possible and cut off the Siberian Railway.

This force actually shoulders a competition between the Central Xianbei Front and the Hezhong Front. In this competition, the Hezhong Front, which is advancing northward based on the Central Asian Railway, obviously has certain advantages in convenience.
