"God bless Russia! Long live Her Majesty the Empress! Long live the Empire!"

"Long live!"

It seemed that God's power was stronger than the so-called "for the motherland! for victory!" The Russian Empire government troops were in high spirits and launched a fierce counterattack against the Soviet Red Army, which was retreating in panic. Even some soldiers who had no weapons in their hands rushed out from behind the counter-charge troops, rushing along the way, constantly picking up the rifles left on the ground by the opponent, pulling the bolts to shoot bullets after bullets behind the enemy.

The defeat was like a mountain of fall, and this sentence is not an exaggeration. In contrast to the scene last night, the attacking and defense sides on the position are now completely lost. What is even more incredible is that due to the unexpected situation of the artillery position in the rear and the sudden collapse of the offensive troops, the panic reaction of the remaining troops around the position. In addition, it is daytime again, neither the pursuit nor the escape party is blocked at night. One causes a large number of casualties of the Fifth Infantry Division, and the other causes the cavalry army that has not yet reacted due to the rushing of the defeated soldiers. Some cavalry on the horse were squeezed off the horse and stepped to death by thousands of rushing defeated soldiers. Some frightened war horses ran around, causing greater chaos and causing no resistance to the entire front.

In just ten minutes, the Russian Imperial Government Army completely defeated the Fifth Infantry Division of the Red Army, causing huge casualties to the other side. After recovering some of the original positions, the victory had undoubtedly arrived.

Whether it is the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division who was released from the death of the political commissar after being under house arrest or the commanders of the cavalry army, the collapse of the troops could not be restrained in this defeat. The only thing they can do now is to spread their legs and run away with the defeated troops. On the way to escape, they should not only be careful of the enemies chasing behind their backs, but also be careful of their comrades around them, who fall to the ground once they fall. Even under the squeeze of thousands of footboards, even if they don’t die from the enemy’s bullets will be trampled into flesh.

The drastic changes in the central position and the destruction of the artillery positions in the rear, this matter quickly spread to the entire Red Army defense line like an irresistible torrent. With the defeat of the Fifth Infantry Division and the Cavalry Army, coupled with the gradually sparse explosions of the artillery positions, the scene of the extremely violent machine guns constantly pressing from behind the back defense line, which made part of the defeat a global collapse.

At this time, no Red Army unit could still take care of the initial mission of encirclement and annihilation of the enemy. The only thing in the minds of these frontline commanders and soldiers was that they would leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

The plan to encircle and annihilate completely failed, and even the target of encircle and annihilate changed from an enemy to himself. If he did not leave the battlefield at this time, everyone would probably die here.

"Defeated... defeated..." As this idea arose, all the Red Army troops on the entire defense line began an unprecedented collapse. Although several teams remained firm under the strong suppression of political and industrial cadres, due to the sudden change in the battlefield situation. The Russian Imperial Government Army in the East launched an attack at the same time at various defense lines. These barely resisted troops did not create miracles under the opponent's precise artillery fire and infantry charge. They splashed waves and became without a trace.

The artillery group of the Soviet Red Army was almost destroyed. Even though there were several war artillery from each unit, it was impossible to compete with the powerful Russian Imperial Government Army artillery fire. Without the artillery suppression of the Soviet Red Army, the artillery group of the Russian Imperial Government Army was not only fierce but also accurate. They even moved forward openly according to the front line, and fired artillery under the noses of the fleeing Red Army units.

This artillery tactic is almost a formation where one side crushes the other side. The cannon is well-deserved to be called the God of War. Just a few rounds of artillery have caused heavy losses to the Red Army units, and at the same time, they are urging their escape much faster.

The battle reached this level, and the outcome was extremely obvious. The Soviet Red Army, which was originally dominant, was defeated thousands of miles away. It was not counted in discarding its original positions, but even weapons, baggage, etc. were all in the hands of the Russian Imperial Government Army. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were either killed on the way to escape, trampled by themselves or bombed by artillery shells. Some troops who saw that they could not escape and were unwilling to turn around and fight desperately under the suppression of political cadres. Some lower-level officers and soldiers turned their guns to kill the political cadres and senior officers who were trying to drive them to resist and then left their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. In the end, nearly 90,000 Soviet Red Army (including local armed forces, militias, etc.) died in this battle, 19,000 people were surrendered, 53,000 people, and less than 20,000 people escaped.

This was an unprecedented victory for the orthodox government of the Russian Empire in a Russian civil war. This victory completely broke the balance of victory and defeat between the orthodox government of the Russian Empire over the Soviet Red Army. Due to the great defeat of the Siberian Front of the Soviet Red Army, the Soviet government and the Revolutionary Military Commission were severely turbulent, and even affected various cities and rural areas in Russia... Those resistance forces that were brutally suppressed by the Soviet government and even destroyed with poisonous gas bombs appeared again as if they were rekindled, causing huge changes in the situation in the entire Russia.

Three days later, the sporadic battle ended completely. When the information was finally delivered to Fang Zida, Fang Zida was also shocked by the results. He never expected that the battle would have such a result, and he did not expect that the entire Soviet Red Army Siberian Front would be defeated in such a disastrous manner.

Commander Tukhachevsky was slightly injured, Deputy Commander Temuxingo was seriously injured, Artillery Lieutenant General Grigori Ivanovich Kulik and his cannon flew into the sky together and could not even find the body. Cavalry commanders Joseph Rotionovich Apanathenko and General Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov were killed, and General Andrei Vasilyevich Khrulev was captured...

According to statistics, the Soviet Red Army killed 11 generals in this battle, including 2 commanders, 1 artillery commander, 7 brigade-level commanders, and the captured personnel. Almost all the senior generals of the entire Siberian Front were killed.

Not to mention that Fang Zida was unbelievable when he received the information, even Wu Peifu, the commander-in-chief of the Zhili Military Region, was shocked. On the one hand, Fang Zida repeatedly confirmed to the front line through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff, and on the other hand, he was even more shocked by the names of the generals on the list of casualties.

When the news was finally confirmed, Fang Zida couldn't help laughing loudly in the office. He never expected that he had just planned to let Bai Chongxi and his 78th Regiment go to the front line for training, and use the opportunity of the Russian civil war to train into an army to prepare for the rotation of military expansion. Who would have thought that Bai Chongxi and the 78th Regiment actually gave him such a surprise, which was simply unexpected.

"This Bai Jiansheng is not simple... it's really not simple..." Wu Peifu was also incredible. After carefully reading the battle report of the 78th Regiment, he couldn't help but shake his head and admire him.

After sighing, Wu Peifu said, "I want to fight this battle, at most it will be a small victory. Who would have thought that it would be like this? Bai Jiansheng was bold and meticulous. He was intimidated in this situation and was defeated by him. He couldn't help but admire him!"

"Ziyu doesn't have to praise him like this. This kid is too brave. Fortunately, he won. If he loses, I will have to skin him. The 78th Regiment is the essence of the entire army, so how can he be so troubled!" Fang Zida seemed very angry, and slapped the table and made a loud noise.

"Haha, Bai Jiansheng is brave and resourceful, and he is a handsome man. Zheng Ming, don't be too demanding. Besides, no matter how stable the tactics are, they cannot guarantee victory. The general will not be given any orders from outside. Since Bai Jiansheng is the supreme commander, he will naturally make careful arrangements before the war begins. I have met this young man a few times. He is a soldier with a mind and thoughtful attitude. It will be fine if he beats him. It's no big deal." Wu Peifu waved his hand with a smile, and instead helped Bai Chongxi and the others speak nice things.

"You, Ziyu is just a treasure..." Looking at Wu Peifu's appearance, Fang Zida shook his head helplessly.

"Zhengming, you are not like this, otherwise why would you let this kid take the lead?" Wu Peifu looked at Fang Zida meaningfully and said with a smile.

Fang Zida was stunned, and then burst into laughter. Wu Peifu couldn't help laughing when he saw him laughing.

The two looked at each other and laughed for a while. After a while, Fang Zida leisurely set up a cigar and asked Wu Peifu: "Brother Ziyu, what do you think of the next situation? How can Siberia make the best arrangements?"

Wu Peifu is now the commander-in-chief of the Zhili Military Region and the deputy chief of the General Staff. Fang Zida asked this question from the perspective of the General Staff. Wu Peifu certainly understood what he meant and said after a little consideration: "From a strategic perspective, the Siberian Front of the Soviet Union was almost wiped out after this battle. However, it should not be difficult to organize a new force with the Soviet government's agitation ability. Although the Soviet government will definitely have considerable pressure due to the defeat, this pressure is not enough to crush them. So to be safe, it is better not to advance westward rushing westward. After all, compared with the overall strength of the two sides, the Russian Empire's Government is still at a disadvantage."
