When the Chinese army launched an offensive to the northeast, the attack from the northwest did not begin.
The situation here is completely different from that in the outer Northeast.
The outer Northeast is sparsely populated and Russia can easily deal with it by sending only a small number of troops.
The number of indigenous peoples here in Central Asia is quite large.
The people here have always been restless, always fearful of power and unethical.
In addition, the religious conflict with Maozi has never subsided.
If there are fewer troops, there will be no Can't handle it.
Therefore, Russia stationed many more troops here than in the outer northeast.
Later, in order to defend against China, a large number of troops were mobilized.
Even with the disastrous defeat on the Eastern Front, the troops here were not mobilized to support them.
Before the February Revolution, there were already 13 army divisions here with a total strength of 200,000.
Later, after the Red and White Song Festival started, the two sides fought fiercely.
At first, the two sides only targeted each other's military personnel, but once this kind of thing developed, it became a vendetta, and the things they did were even lower than those of enemy invaders.
In China in another time and space, during the civil war between the two parties, there were also white terrors such as the "Returning Regiments" and "People who were stoned and burned to change their species", which were more powerful than the Japanese.
This kind of thing is not a patent of China, and it is the same here in Maozi.
After the two sides fought, they both became red-eyed, and there was no limit to what they could do.
The attack targets of both sides are not limited to military personnel.
As long as they support the other side, civilians will be killed.
If they are neutral parties, it will be even more unlucky to be killed by both sides at the same time.
Starting from April, even civilians will die happily if they are discovered by the opponent's army and shot.
In the outer Northeast, the Red Army has an absolute advantage, but the situation in Central Asia is different.
Now the Red and White Song Festival is in full swing.
Therefore, China did not take action immediately, but continued to send additional troops, hoard supplies, and renovate fortifications, roads, and airports.
At this critical moment, we in China should not disturb other people's enjoyment.
We will go over after they are happy enough.
Well, the Red Army is not just a country boy who has turned a deaf ear to what is going on outside the window.
They already know that the decadent and depraved white bandits packaged and sold Central Asia to China, and they also know that China is now mobilizing troops.
They are not stupid.
Of course they also want to organize defense work against China, but the White Army refuses to cooperate.
So they simply made up their minds and prepared to seize the time to deal with those hateful white bandits first, and then concentrate on dealing with possible attacks from China.
As a result, the fighting between the two sides became more intense.
Even if the Red Army wanted to stop, it couldn't stop at all.
It wasn't until June 30 that the White Army in Turkestan finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the defeated soldiers fled into the Chinese border in embarrassment.
Yining District, Yili City.
Yining, known as Ningyuan in ancient times, was founded in 1762.
It was one of the nine cities in Yili during the Qing Dynasty and a famous historical and cultural city.
The climate here is pleasant, the products are rich, and the natural endowments are unique.
It is known as the "South of the Yangtze River beyond the Great Wall".
At the beginning of the 18th century, it became the political and economic center of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, "a metropolis in the western border".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was set up as the administrative seat of Ili City.
It connects to Urumqi and Jinghe on the Sino-Russian trade railway, exits Alashankou, and then passes through Akdoka and Semipalatinsk to Novosibirsk, Omsk, After the opening of the Tyumen and Yekaterinburg trade railways, the economic status of this place declined somewhat.
However, after the opening of the Ita-Tajikistan Railway and the connection with the China-Russia Trade Railway at Jinghe, it became the economic center of the northwest.
Since the September Revolution, Russia's internal political situation has been turbulent and productivity has declined.
As a result, the trade volume between China and Russia has been significantly reduced.
After the Red and White War kicked off in February this year, the trade between the two countries was almost cut off.

Yining is also very affected.
The railway station wholesale market that was originally bustling with traffic is now deserted.
But by March, the depressed situation improved.
At this time, troops were stationed one after another, said to be to seal the border and prevent both sides of the civil war from bringing the war into the country.
A large army requires a large amount of supplies, and the market here has also improved again, especially the merchants selling various foods, who have made a small fortune.
Wen Desi has always been adhering to the glorious tradition of our great foodie empire, and he does not skimp on food, not to mention the army, which is the backbone of the country.
When the Socialist Party of Science and Technology first launched its army, the food was already very poor, and now.
In today's world, the food of the Chinese army is considered to be first-class, whether it is taste, calories or nutrition, it is all first-class, especially in the variety of dishes, it surpasses all other countries.
Even at the beginning of the 21st century, this kind of food is still first-rate.
Due to limited conditions during combat, the food was poor, mainly canned food and dry food.
But when camping, as long as conditions permit, fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, etc. will be provided as much as possible.
Now Chinese businessmen have learned well.
They know that as long as a large army is stationed in that place, all kinds of fresh ingredients will never have to worry about selling.
Since last month, the number of troops here has skyrocketed.
New troops have arrived in the camp outside the city almost every day, and two temporary airports have been built outside the city.
The local food market is even more popular, and vendors from all walks of life are making huge profits. 122nd Division, Division Headquarters Office.
"Division commander, the commander of the first regiment reported that their train was delayed and is now blocked near Shanshan.
It will not arrive until at least tonight."
The communications staff reported to the division commander Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu frowned: "What's going on?
Isn't the railway under military control?"
The chief of staff smiled beside him and said: "It's not that too many things are transported.
This railway line happens to be used by the Northern Cluster, Southern Cluster and our Eastern Cluster at the same time.
Now more than forty divisions and brigades of the three clusters rely on this railway line.
If the line transports things, it would be strange if it doesn’t get blocked.
It will be fine as long as it passes through Turpan.”
The gathering place of the northern cluster is in Ili, the gathering place of the eastern cluster is in Kashgar, and the gathering place of the southern cluster is Mashhad in Persia.
The southern cluster is better, and Persia can still provide a lot of supplies.
The eastern and northern clusters can only transport troops and supplies through the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line.
The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line will not be separated until it reaches Turpan.
Now that the group is stuck in Shanshan, it can only stare at it.
At this time, a sound of engines came from the sky.
Wu Peifu turned to look out the window and saw a group of giant transport airships slowly passing through the sky.
They had all lowered their auxiliary propellers and seemed to be preparing to land.
"These airships are used to transport troops from the 113th Division," a staff officer said.
"Well, now I think the infantry is better.
Their troops can use airships, but our troops can only rely on trains."
Wu Peifu sighed with a smile.
After the surrender of Beiyang, a large number of bureaucrats there originally wanted to continue to work with the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, but the Socialist Party of Science and Technology was not satisfied with these old bureaucrats.
Neither their style nor their ability could satisfy Wen Desi.
Moreover, there were still some Many people have dirty butts.
Unlike the Great Tu Dynasty of the original time and space, the Socialist Party of Science and Technology itself has no shortage of cadres at all, and does not even need to transition these guys.
As a result, many of these people were dismissed from their posts and put out of office.
Those who deserved to be killed were killed, those who deserved to be sent to labor camps, and those who deserved to spit out the stolen money.
Anyway, no one escaped.

This is the result of giving lenient sentences to those who have not committed serious crimes.
For those who have not committed serious crimes, as long as they spit out the stolen money, forget it.
In the end, less than one-fifth of these old Beiyang bureaucrats were retained by the new government, and Wu Peifu was one of the lucky ones.
Lao Wu has always been honest, self-reliant and loyal.
Apart from the different camps back then, there really isn't much to say.
Moreover, Wen Desi had a good impression of this man, so he retained his military position and asked him to go to the military academy for further studies with other retained former Beiyang officers to relearn the professional knowledge of modern warfare.
Lao Wu had never received formal military education before, and all his knowledge was gained from practice.
Therefore, in the history of the original time and space, he could barely cope with the low-intensity warlord melee, but once he encountered the red and blue parties who had received formal military education, he jumped into the street.
Wen Desi was different from Datou and other contemporary leaders.
He would never tolerate the fact that his officers had not received formal military education, so all the old Beiyang generals were sent to military academies.
Even those who have studied in foreign military academies are like this.
Wu Peifu is a proud person.
He was a little unconvinced at first, thinking that his experience was enough and there was no need to relearn.
As a result, after entering school and finishing his first class, he discovered that he was the frog in the well.
There was no actual content in this first class, which was to let them watch a movie.
The content was edited with live videos of various exercises and actual combat conducted by the People's Liberation Army and foreign armies.
Of course, some shots were taken from " Excerpts from films and documentaries of "Later Generations".
The various new tactics and weapons in the film, such as integrated land, sea and air three-dimensional attack, infantry and artillery coordination, air-ground coordination, armored group charge, etc., completely convinced Wu Peifu and other old officers.
Lao Wu was also determined to learn.
After two years of further training, he felt that he still did not have a good understanding of modern warfare, so he volunteered to work at the grassroots level for training and became familiar with the most basic things of the People's Liberation Army.
At first he was a colonel and became a company commander, and then he was promoted year by year.
During the Sino-Japanese Guichou War, he participated in the battle as a battalion commander and achieved good military exploits.
After the war, he was promoted to regimental commander.
After the European War began, he was selected into the observation group to observe modern warfare in Europe.
After returning from a rotation in Europe in June 1916, he entered the military academy to take advanced command courses.
After graduating last year, he was appointed deputy commander of the 122nd Division.
After the division commander was promoted in January this year, he took over the position of division commander and was promoted to brigadier general.
Wu Peifu was very excited about this.
Although the 122nd Division was only a B division, it was an armored division.
The division had two tank regiments, a mechanized infantry regiment, a self-propelled artillery regiment, an air defense battalion, an engineer battalion, An armored reconnaissance battalion and various direct-administered units.
There are a total of 156 armored fighting vehicles tanks, half and half Wolverines and Red Wolves, 60 infantry fighting vehicles, 108 armored transport vehicles, 122 various self-propelled guns, more than 80 other various armored vehicles, and 800 A veritable torrent of steel with multiple cars of all kinds.
Lao Wu is very confident that as long as he commands this steel army, he can definitely defeat ten times the enemy's infantry troops or three times the enemy's armored troops.
"Really, it would be troublesome if we start a war at this time.
Yituan is the main force of our division."
Old Wu said dissatisfied, picked up a can of Very Coke, opened it, and took a sip.
Ever since he drank Coke in a PLA prisoner-of-war camp, he had fallen in love with this carbonated drink.
"Don't worry, the General Staff will not make such a mistake and let the troops attack before they are fully assembled," the political commissar said with a smile.
The regiment is equipped with 78 of the latest "Red Wolf" tanks.
This is the biggest source of Lao Wu's confidence.
He believes that there will be no armored fighting vehicle stronger than the Red Wolf in the world.
If one group is missing, the combat effectiveness of the 122nd Division is estimated to be reduced by about half.
Wu Peifu looked at the airship landing at the airport and sighed: "I remember that our airship can transport red wolves.
The largest Xiangjing-class airship has an effective load capacity of 240 tons and can transport 7 red wolves.
If it is used on top, Just use the Xiangjing-class airship to transport the chariot for us.”
The chief of staff said: "Haha, this is unlikely.

Unless it is an emergency, the superiors will not use airships to transport tanks.
It is a waste of transportation capacity.
There are only twenty Xiangjing-class airships in the country, and they are all used for strategic transportation.
It’s a mission.
We don’t need to be in such a hurry.”
Old Wu had no choice.
Those large and giant transport airships were under the jurisdiction of the Joint Logistics Command.
His face was not that big, and the Joint Logistics Command would not make an exception for him.
At this time, an orderly ran in and said: "Commanders, dinner is ready.
Do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat, or send it here?"
"Okay, let's go eat first."
Wu Peifu greeted everyone, and everyone put down their work and went to eat.
After everyone sat down in the officers' mess, the food sergeant from the mess came up to greet them: "Commanders, today's dishes are Dongpo pork elbow, large plate chicken, tofu mixed with green onions, stir-fried green beans, and spicy and sour crucian carp soup.
The staple food is steamed buns. , sesame cakes, noodles, rice noodles and rice, and dessert is cream pine nut cake and banana.”
"Bring me a bowl of shaved noodles and two sesame cakes."
Wu Peifu is from Shandong and still prefers pasta.
After he ordered, the other officers each ordered their own staple food.
After a while, the food was served, and everyone started eating without saying anything.
According to the food standards of the Chinese army, except for older officers and officers in poor health, they all eat the same food as the soldiers.
For example, the soldiers' lunch menu is exactly the same as that of Lao Wu and others.
Of course, it is impossible to achieve absolute "equality between officers and soldiers".
There is no difference in ingredients, the difference is only in the quality of cooking.
Soldiers cook in a big pot, while officers above the intermediate level cook in a small stove.
If officers have special requirements, they can also pay for the dental ritual at their own expense.
Wu Peifu had just finished eating a sesame seed cake when a communications sergeant on duty ran over.
"Report to the division commander, the cluster headquarters has informed that all full-time officers at brigade level and above will immediately go to the headquarters for a meeting."
"Okay, it seems it's time."
Wu Peifu threw the bowl away and stood up
