Chapter 598 Total annihibition? Are you kidding?
Shortly after the New Year of 1726, Marshal Rumentev, who was appointed by Empress Catherine Catherine II as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Siberian Expeditionary Force, had to lead the expeditionary force at the age of 70 at the age of 70. It's a difficult journey.
Rumentsev was one of the famous Russian generals during the reign of Catherine II, and also one of the romantic tsar's love. On the European battlefield, he has commanded dozens of battles, and has won countless honors and medals. He is deeply favored by the Empress Catherine II. However, now that he is old and pale, well... It should be said that Shaohua is old, and the Empress prefers younger young people, although he is still famous in the Russian Empire. He He's famous general marshal, however, in front of the Empress, the favor is not as good as before.
Today, the situation in Europe is turbulent. The French Revolution not only did not die because of the encirclement of the European monarchies, but also became more and more fierce. Now, the forces supported by the European monarchies in France have collapsed one after another, and the French seem to be about to complete the transformation, as if they were injured. The fierce tiger has begun to show its ferocious claws and fangs.
At this time, all the European monarchies seemed to be extremely vigilant, and Russia, which is naturally unwilling to be the most powerful country in Europe, and stationed troops in the former Poland. Now on the newly occupied territories of Russia, a large number of famous generals and commanders have been sent to the battlefield. Be ready to join forces with other European monarchies at any time and give France a fatal blow.
Rumentzen also repeatedly requested to participate in the encirclement and suppression of France, but was left in China by Catherine II on the grounds of old age. This made Lumentsev, who has been in the army at the age of 15, very depressed. He sighed at home all the time, and sighed that he was quite honest and old. However, no one expected that in the far east, there would be a change that surprised the whole Russia. In the far east, the one who had never been interested in the northern territory. The Tatar Empire was overthrown by the Chinese, and the emerging Chinese Empire turned its eyes to the north at the first time. Several military fortresses that maintained the vast land of Russia's rule in the east were seized. More than 20 soldiers were turned into ashes, and thousands of Russian soldiers were also turned into corpses, which was naturally infuriating. Great, wise and strong Empress Catherine II. I.
--------------------
But Russia's biggest enemy and opponent are currently in Europe, the horrible monster of France that overthrew the monarchy, the Turkic Empire that is trying to prevent Russia from invading its mouth, and the rebels who have been occupied by Russia but are always eager to restore the Polish Empire.
In addition, the road to the east is far away. If a large army is sent, it will inevitably weaken Russia's armed forces to suppress the rebel forces in the occupied territories, and at the same time reduce the pressure on France.
Another point is that in the south, the Tatars who have been overthrown the regime are being forced to migrate to the west. Now, these hundreds of thousands of Tatars have crossed the Tianshan Mountains, left the borders of the Chinese Empire, and came to the edge of the Turan lowlands. Catherine II appointed the former Governor of Lithuanian General Lepnin to lead Lead the army into the Aral Sea to deter and monitor.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Catherine II remembered the only former general Rumentsev, who was still in the imperial capital. After 70 years old and had entered his retirement period, after consulting Lumentsev, Catherine II decided to send a Twenty thousand well-known Cossack cavalry on the European battlefield, together with 10,000 Russian infantry, formed the Siberian Expeditionary Force.
At a secret meeting of ministers before departure, Catherine II solemnly told Rumantsev, hoping that he would not forget the glory of his Russian ancestors. More than a hundred years ago, more than 800 Russian soldiers, relying on city defense, resisted the one-year siege of ten times the enemy of the Eastern Tatar Empire, and the most In the end, he won a complete victory at the negotiating table.
This time, Rummenczev led 30,000 troops, almost more than 30 times that of the Nibuchu Russian garrison in those years. The Eastern Empire has just been established. At present, there must be a lot of internal and external troubles. After all, the bad things that British, Spain and other colonial countries have done in the East, as well as the establishment of the East with that. The tsar also knew a little about the enmity between the eastern pirates of the empire.
So, she sent an expedition with a number of 30,000, and then sent Rumentsev, a famous coach on the European battlefield. She already looked up to the emerging Eastern Empire. Well, at least in the eyes of the tsaress, sending such a luxurious lineup has expressed her respect and importance to her opponents. Look at it.
After the last replenishment in the Omsk fortress, Lumentsev began to embark on the final journey. Yes, this expedition will be the return of his former famous European commander and his 30,000 troops.
Just after Lumentsev's army set out from the Omsk fortress. After more than a month, he crossed the Ob River, crossed the Yenisei River, and finally arrived at the Lower Uginsk Fortress. It is southwest of the fishing sea. The Russian city that is besieged by the Eastern Empire, that is, the current Chinese emperor [***] team, has Less than eight hundred miles.
Along the way, in addition to the occasional nomads and the ruins of those stations that have been destroyed by the damn Chinese emperor [***] team, they have not seen a trace of the enemy at all. However, after hundreds of battles, Rumentesev, who has been in the army for decades, has an ominous feeling, that is, it seems that The whereabouts of the Russian army were under surveillance, which made him very uncomfortable, but the wandering Cossack cavalry did not find anything abnormal at all.
This made the confident Rumentev begin to be vigilant, especially in order to protect his grain from being cut off by his enemies. Rumentev left a thousand soldiers and 2,500 Cossacks to guard his supply line.
Rumentsev was temporarily stationed in Uginsk and sent a battalion of Cossack cavalry to start reconnaissance to the south. Five days later, the reward was that the city of Erkou, besieged by the Eastern Emperor [***] team, was still planted with the flag of the Russian Empire. They sent several brave and fearless Cossack cavalry. He managed to enter the city and was welcomed by the Russian people in the city and the heroes of the soldiers. Moreover, the officers and officials in the city asked the knights to bring the news of help. Now, there is not even a grain of breadcrumb in Erkou City, and the horses and livestock in the city have been slaughtered. Now They can support up to ten to twenty days. After that, I'm afraid that even the hungry mice and cockroaches will be clean up.
After receiving this news, it was determined that the total number of the Chinese emperor [***] besieging Erkou City was about 20,000 to 30,000, which was equivalent to the total number of his own army. Marshal Lumen Tsev finally put down the long-hanging big stone in his heart and at noon when he received the information. , led the army to move quickly to the city of Erkou, with the intention of defeating the Chinese emperor [***] with lightning speed, forcing the Chinese empire to give up its ambitions for the northern territory.
--------------------
At the same time, in the battalion of the General Headquarters of the Northeast Field Army of the Chinese Empire, about five miles away from Erkou City, An Kequ, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Field Army, Liang Guodong, the political commissar, Shang Jianxi, the chief of staff, and a division, regiment-level officers and staff were gathering here to hold a very important military meeting. .
Chief of Staff Shang Jianxi pointed to the map and issued the latest combat order: "It has been determined that our goal has begun to take action. They will go south along the Angara River and go straight to Erkou City. According to the combat plan drawn up by our staff, the 51st Division of the Northeast Field Army and the North Korean Servant Division will still be Stay in Erkou City and continue to besiege the city. The 52nd Division and the 53rd Division, which are hiding by the fishing sea, will depart in the early morning of tomorrow. Within two days, they must arrive at the Pianovo Station for fortification.
"Chief of Staff, we are not attacking, but fortification?" Yin Junrui, the commander of the 52nd Division of the Northeast Field Army, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the military order. His fifty-second division and Di Xiqing's fifty-three division have been circlying around the damn fisherman's shore for almost half a year. Every day, in addition to competing with the beasts, it is training and training again. Yin Junrui felt that if his army had nothing more to do, he would have trained these two thousand. The tough man can't be suffocated as a savage.
"Yes, your 52nd and 53rd divisions will be fortification around the Pianovo Station. Now that the Russian army has arrived, what you have to do is not to attack, but to make a defensive posture. Remember, you are never allowed to attack without authorization." Speaking of this, the chief of staff Shang Jianxi specially aggravated his tone.
"Why?!" Di Xiqing, the commander of the 53rd Division, also stood up to express his doubts.
"Because what we need is to annihilitate this Russian expeditionary force, not just to defeat or defeat it." An Kequ extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, and his eyes swept over all the participants present, with a trace of coldness in his calm voice.
"Total annianniation?" Hearing Ankoo's words, the officers, who seemed to be very lazy, couldn't help but sit up straight. 30,000 troops, that was not 30,000 rabbits, but 10,000 pure firearms of the Russian army and 20,000 famous Cossack cavalry.
Although they are confident of defeating the army and even cleaning up the Russian expeditionary force by a large margin, if they want to annihronize it completely, they are afraid that the difficulty coefficient is at least equivalent to the difficulty of diving above 8:00.
After all, I only dispatched the troops of two infantry divisions on my side, and I want to eat the army of one of the other's infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions, which is really a little bullshit. At least most of the officers present had such an idea in their hearts.
Ankequ looked at these subordinates with doubts and distrust in his eyes and grinned. Do you think I'm playing with you?! Let me tell you, in addition to your two divisions, the Reading Brigade will be responsible for copying the back of these old men. In addition, young master, oh no, it's time to call your majesty. In addition, your majesty has sent us reinforcements, the reinforcements of the two divisions.
"Who is it? It's not North Korean servants again, is it? A regiment-level cadre curled his lips and muttered angrily.
"Isn't that equivalent to two transport brigades?" The other one also looked contemptuous and was really worried about the combat effectiveness of the North Korean servant army.
Ankequ rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, of course not. It's two cavalry divisions. Elite cavalry in the head of more than 20,000!" Anke raised his eyebrows proudly. Moreover, Your Majesty specially sent us five heavy machine guns.
"Damn it! Captain, give it to me! Give us the fifty-one division!" Zhao Shang, the commander of the 51st Division, immediately jumped up.
Di Xiqing, the commander of the 53rd Division sitting next to him, immediately stared at his eyes with an expression of cutting people: "Bullshit, you besiege and ask for Mao's heavy machine guns, give us the 53rd Division, commander..."
Everyone present had golden eyes, and the originally quiet military meeting instantly turned into a vegetable market where two traffickers quarreled. Looking at the performance of this subordinate, Anko opened his mouth, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, knowing that the names of the robbers soaked in the roots could not be changed.
