Chapter 35 The Last Battle to Russia

The victory on the battlefield in North Africa was a jubilant country. On March 6, 1897, the Foreign Ministers' Meeting of China, Germany and Austria was held in Istanbul, Turkey. The meeting exchanged views on the next stage of the war, on behalf of the heads of state, and continued to reach opinions. The last battle against Russia was launched in the spring of 1897.

The European battlefield in 1897 was relatively stable, and France and Britain could not form a military advantage over Germany on land. On the battlefield, both sides were trapped in a protracted trench war, while Germany made a major strategic adjustment. The Western Front was mainly defense and began to assemble troops on the Eastern Front on a large scale to hoard combat supplies.

The long winter finally passed. In this winter, the Russians also got a brief respite with the help of the cold, but Russia's backward economy became even more depressed in the war. The Russians carried out several large-scale mobilizations in the winter. After Russia mobilized, the total force reached 2 million. The Tsar was determined to fight the Allies on the battlefield in the future.

In April, the Command of the Three Armed Forces held an enlarged meeting of the entire army. Nie Shicheng, Chen Yucheng, Liu Yongfu and other front-line commanders attended the meeting. At the meeting, Yang Yi put forward the slogan of "The Last War Against Russia", requiring the entire army to prepare for all combat against Russia before May, and strive to completely resolve the Russian issue before the arrival of the winter of 1897.

At the beginning of the month, the Chinese army completed a new assembly, and the strength of the Far East theater increased to 100 infantry divisions, 20 armored brigades, with a total force of up to 2.2 million. In the Near East battlefield, the Chinese Expeditionary Force also received new supplements. The 600,000 troops returned from the African battlefield, plus the 400,000 troops originally in the Caucasus area, and another 300,000 troops were transported from the country. The Chinese Expeditionary Force also reached 1.5 million in the Near East. On May 5, the foreign ministers of China and Germany met in Istanbul and determined the specific time for the simultaneous attack on Russia.

On May 10, the last battle against Russia finally ushered in.

In the early morning of the 10th, on the Far East battlefield, tens of thousands of Chinese troops roared, and more than 12,000 cannons fired together. The Chinese troops started from Novosibirsk in the north and ended in Ureli in the south. On the front line of 600 kilometers to Ureli, 2.2 million troops launched a final fierce attack on Russia, with 2,400 tanks as the pioneer. The Chinese army wanted to advance rapidly in Emux and Astana.

In the near East, in the early morning of the 10th, 8,000 cannons, 1,000 tanks, and 1.2 million heroic troops launched a fierce attack on the direction of Volgograd and Rostov in Russia, and quickly tore open the Russian defense line.

In Europe, in order to achieve the goal of resolving Russia in World War I, the Germans assembled 2.5 million troops and more than 6,000 cannons on the Eastern Front battlefield, and also launched a final strike on Russia in the early morning of the 10th.

Due to the time difference, the Russian base camp fell into a complete panic on the 10th. Within a day, it received accelerated battle reports from the front, more urgent. At the same time, it was hit by three sides. The Russian base camp was at a loss. The bad news was heard one after another. On the 10th, on the Far East battlefield, 300,000 Russian troops were trapped in the pincer attack of the Chinese army. The Chinese army used a large number of tanks to quickly attack from the junction of the two defense zones of Omsu and Astana.

It soon broke through the Russian defense. Within one day, China's five tank brigades successfully crossed the Erthis River with the cooperation of three cavalry divisions and advanced 100 kilometers. The two defense zones were in danger of being divided. On the same day, the Chinese army broke through the Russian army's Erthis River defense line and advanced 50 kilometers across the entire line. Reported by the 30 infantry divisions of the Russian army on the Far East battlefield, they all suffered varying degrees of blows, of which three were wiped out by the Chinese army, 12 divisions were defeated, and their organization had been destroyed.

In the Near East, on the 10th, the Chinese army advanced 60 kilometers, and 120,000 Russian troops were eliminated. Although the Russian army was still struggling to resist, it was only a matter of time before this front was defeated.

On the European battlefield, on the 10th, the German vanguard was only 30 kilometers away from Minsk, and 100,000 Russian troops were eliminated under the first day of the German attack.

Faced with the allies' joint general offensive against Russia, Britain and France could only make a last-ditch effort. Britain and France, which were difficult to protect themselves, Britain was busy dealing with the German navy's ready-to-go and was still guarding against the submarine strategy of the Chinese navy to advance into the Mediterranean after occupying the Suez Canal. France has been basically in a defensive state in the past year. Now Russia is in danger. Britain and France have decided to launch a large-scale attack on Germany immediately, hoping to alleviate the crisis on the Russian battlefield.

On May 11, on the Far East battlefield, the Chinese army made a major breakthrough at the junction of the Russian defense line. Five armored brigades and three cavalry divisions were maneuvered at high speed. The Russian defense line was divided into two, and 800,000 Russian troops were divided into two. The Chinese army completed the semi-encirclement of the Russian army in the Far East Omsk. On the southern battlefield, the Chinese Far East Corps also successfully advanced to Karaganda, and Astana could be defended at any time.

On the 15th, the Russian base camp, which was attacked from three sides, was unable to effectively respond to the overall situation, and finally resulted in bad consequences. The northern line of our Far East Legion and the assault cluster at the joints completed the meeting at Petrobapu, completely surrounding the Russian army of Omsuke.

On the 5th, our Near East Legion also advanced 300 kilometers to start a division and siege of Rostov and Volgograd. On the European battlefield, the German army had approached Stomelsk, and the Russian army lost another 300,000 troops on the European battlefield.

Within just five days, the Russian army lost nearly one million troops under the three-sided attacks of the allies. Serious differences began to arise within the Russian base camp, and the two sides of the disagreement began to argue about whether to continue the war.

On May 15, the French army mobilized 2 million troops and, with the cooperation of the British army, began a fierce attack on the German-France border. Relying on dense trenches, the German army used dense firepower to kill the French army in large quantities. One day on the 15th, although the French army advanced 10 kilometers forward, the German army fought and retreated, consuming as much as 60,000 French troops.

On the 15th, in order to cooperate with the three countries' general attack on Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania gathered three armies, totaling 1.25 million troops, and launched an attack on Russia from within Romania, and Russia fell into a desperate situation of fighting on all sides.

On the 20th, the French army's offensive on the Belgian border and the German-French border were quite effective. The French army had previously advanced 100 kilometers and the German army was forced to withdraw from France in full. However, the German General Staff had always emphasized that the German army on the Western Front would never fight the French army, but would continue to consume the French army in retreat, dragging the French army across the French army.

On the 20th of the battle, Russia was completely in despair. The army from all sides rushed towards Moscow at high speed. The Russian army was ruthless and there were even quarrels in the base camp. Not to mention that the Russians lost a large area of ​​land in the past battles, the 2 million guardian army is now less than 500,000. Although 1 million troops were temporarily mobilized, the troops were extremely short of equipment and supplies. The British were blocked from the sea transport channel by the Germans in the North Atlantic, and they were at a loss.

The Chinese army launched a fast and fierce attack from two directions. After encircling and annihilated 800,000 Russian troops in the Far East battlefield, it quickly advanced westward. After 20 days of fighting, the Chinese army pushed 1,000 kilometers into Russia's mainland, and the vanguard had arrived in Ufa.

In the near East battlefield, Chen Yucheng's tank troops had occupied Bornzik and completed two-sided attacks on Ukraine with the Romanian Three-Nation Alliance. The Russian army's 200,000 troops on the Ukrainian battlefield had no way to escape. To the north, Chen Yang, the new commander of the Central Assault Cluster, led four armies, 57,58,59,60, plus five armored brigades, and attacked in the direction of Moscow. The vanguard troops have now occupied Voroeri, which is only 700 kilometers away from Moscow. The Russian army in front of Shenyang is just a temporary pieced together of 600,000 Russian troops, with extremely low morale and equipment.

On May 30, Russia, which had been struggling for nearly a month, finally couldn't support it. The Russian economy had completely collapsed, and a large number of deserters began to appear in front of him. Russian soldiers were unwilling to fight a meaningless and worthless war. After hard discussions with his cabinet, the Tsar finally proposed a ceasefire to the allies. There was only one condition for ceasefire in the Allied countries represented by China, that is, Russia's unconditional surrender.

On June 3, the day before the deadline set by China, Russia announced its surrender.

After the news of the Russian surrender reached Britain and France, the morale of the two countries was the hardest hit, and the French attack on Germany also stopped completely, and the front line remained on the German-France border and Belgium.

On June 15, Moscow became an unguarded city. Three hundred thousand Chinese troops entered Moscow. The proud and arrogant Russians finally lowered their dirty heads in front of the iron hooves of the Chinese army. The Russian Tsar signed a surrender agreement with his trembling hands in the Kremlin. According to this agreement, the new border between China and Russia will be the Ural Mountains, and the vast Siberia will be forced to ced to China.

A year later, under the conspiracy of China and Germany, there was a constant wave of independence in Russia. Ukraine and other federations demanded independence, and under the forced force of China and other countries, the Russian government agreed to these local independence. This is a later story.

Russia surrendered and the world war was about to come to an end. France and Britain continued to survive. Britain and France, which have always regarded themselves as the world's military and economic powers, would never give up if they did not lose their last pair of underwear.
