Chapter 272 When the ceasefire was carried out, Moscow time, March 10, 1959 finally arrived at 19 o'clock, and Major General Guratnov, commander of the 27th Airborne Assault Division of the 13th Army of the Soviet Siberian Military District, who was responsible for guarding the city of Krasnoyarsk, had a smile on his face. He struggled out of the basement of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Soviet Sberbank. The three-storey savings bank building made of huge granite blocks has become a pile of rubble, and as far as the eye can see, there are ruins of broken walls as far as the eye can see. Everywhere in the ruins were the bodies of Soviet soldiers lying and the dying wounded.

Major General Guratnov couldn't help but shake his head and said to the chief of staff, Senior Colonel Vasily, who was following him: "China's artillery fire is really fierce, and the decision of the Party Central Committee to cease fire is undoubtedly the most correct and wise choice. ”

"yes, this battle really can't be fought." Vasily looked at the low Chinese tanks with their headlights on only 200 meters away and said: "If the fire does not stop, we may have to be prisoners of the Chinese for another 5 minutes." ”

In the night sky, a Chinese helicopter gunship hovered at a low altitude over the western part of Krasnoyarsk, constantly broadcasting in Russian:

"Comrades of the Soviet officers and soldiers, there is now a ceasefire between China and the Soviet Union, please get out of your bunkers and set up a clear sign of the Soviet army in front of your bunkers. I ask the commanders of your armed forces at and above the battalion level to contact the nearest squadron or to erect your flag from your position so that we can contact you and determine the ceasefire line. The supreme commander of the 13th Airborne Assault Division of the 27th Army of the Siberian Military District of the Soviet Union, please immediately go to the central square of Stalin in Krasnoyarsk with valid documents and contact the headquarters of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division of the 5th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to communicate about the ceasefire between the two sides,"

Looking at the unscrupulous Chinese helicopter gunship, Major General Guratnov, commander of the 27th Airborne Division, patted the dust on his uniform, tidied up his military appearance, and walked towards his nearest Chinese tank with his chief of staff.

There is a ceasefire! At this time, Colonel Pantefrolovsky, the commander of the 27th Airborne Regiment of the 103rd Airborne Assault Division of the Soviet Army, lying on a stretcher on a stretcher in the temporary prisoner of war camp in the square in front of the Krasnoyarsk railway station, was a little emotional.

With only three hours to go, he became a prisoner of war in China, and his life was really confusing and unpredictable. Is it all your fault? Later, after being repatriated from China, when he was investigated by a Soviet military tribunal, he confessed as follows: "At 10 o'clock on March 10, I received a ceasefire order from Marshal Zhukov sent by Major Freyantyev, the division's communications staff. The order was to the effect that China and the Soviet Union would implement a ceasefire on the entire line at 19 o'clock on March 10, 1959, Moscow time, and then sign the position of the two sides with the Chinese [***] team to establish a ceasefire line, and withdraw two kilometers from the ceasefire line within three days. Although Major Fryantyev said very sternly, when the armistice came into force on March 10, 1959, between 10 and 19 o'clock in Moscow time, no matter what happened, not a single shot should be fired, otherwise he would be subjected to the most severe trial by a military court. At that time, I thought that this had little to do with me, because the nearest squadron was 15 kilometers away from us, and it was not my turn to sign any ceasefire line, but I still conveyed this order of Marshal Zhukov and the very stern warning of Major Fryantyv to each private as quickly as possible.

The Chinese did not abandon their offensive because the ceasefire agreement was approaching, but rather accelerated their offensive. The Chinese attack on Krasnoyarsk began before dinner, and as everyone walked into the dining room and lined up to receive dinner for the day, the piercing whistling sound of the Chinese Katyusha came from the air, and then fell like hail in our barracks. I swear in my mother's name that I have never seen such a heavy artillery attack, and our unit has participated in the defense of Stalingrad and in the capture of Berlin. If those two battles can be called the most intense artillery preparations in the history of mankind, I can only say that the people who say such things are too ignorant. I can't find some more accurate words to describe the intensity and intensity of Chinese artillery fire this time, I can only say that during World War II, on the Soviet-German battlefield, the maximum artillery density was more than 100 artillery guns per square kilometer, which can only be said to be too insignificant and too 'pediatric' compared with the artillery preparation of the Chinese this time.

The 5th Airborne Battalion of our regiment, which defended the northern outskirts of the city of Krasnoyarsk, their main position was quickly torn apart by the armored assault group of the squadron [***]. In order to prevent the squadron from entering directly, I immediately sent the 6th Airborne Battalion, which was a reserve.

As we all know, the 6th Airborne Battalion is a heroic unit that parachuted into the town of Osveras, more than 100 kilometers behind the German army, in the bloody Battle of Stalingrad, blew up and captured the large integrated supply base of the German armored forces, and made indelible contributions to the defense of Stalingrad. However, even this heroic and skillful 6th Battalion went up for more than 1 hour.

Not far away, the sound of the rumbling motors of Chinese tanks was heard. I knew that the Chinese still attacked, and I gathered the remaining troops of the regiment at the railway station of Rasnoyarsk, the last defensive position of our regiment, and did my best to engage in street battles with the squadron [***] to stop their advance towards the city.

This is the first time I have seen the legendary "Invincible Warrior" Chinese tank. It was a very low, wide, angular tank with a thick and long gun, and it looked very powerful. I saw one of my fighters lying in a pile of dead comrades, and when a Chinese tank painted with yellowed and germanium stone patches approached him, he suddenly jumped up, picked up the explosive bag hidden under him, rolled under the Chinese tank, and pulled the explosive bag, trying to die with the Chinese tank. Here I would like to ask everyone to remember the name of this heroic warrior: Sergey. Kilead Yesov. Sergeant Dashapisky.

In the midst of the explosion, the Chinese tank stopped, and the tracks slipped off the transmission wheels with a clatter. At this time, another fighter fired a shot at the incapacitated Chinese tank with his right shoulder against the RPG-2 anti-tank rocket launcher, and I saw the 80 mm hollow charge shaped head rocket hit the left deck of the Chinese tank and exploded violently, but the tank did not seem to react to the blow at all, but quickly turned the turret and swept at the fighter with the 7.62 mm parallel machine gun on the right side of the artillery.

The Chinese tank then fired five smoke grenades at all sides of the turret using smoke grenade launchers on both sides of the turret. Before the smoke could clear, the tank reconnected its tracks and rushed out of the smoke. Keep launching a more frantic offensive against us.

It can be said that the [***] squadron is the most ferocious, the most combative, the best equipped, and the most tenacious enemy I have ever seen. I saw that our soldiers were swept down one by one in front of China's mighty 'invincible warriors', and the Chinese infantry who followed behind the Chinese tanks kept throwing grenades at our soldiers who were still fighting in the ruins, and fired at our fighters with their automatic rifles.

We really tried our best and used all the weapons we could use, but we really couldn't resist the fierce attack of the [***] team. At this time, some of the officers and men of our regiment surrendered to the squadron [***] that began to face the rushing forward. Please don't blame us, the officers and soldiers, they have done their best.

Once again, I ordered the communications staff officer, Captain Hato Amelikov, to call out to the division headquarters for reinforcements and artillery fire on these Chinese. Captain Hato Amelikov shook his head helplessly at me and said: "I tried all the channels, but I kept contacting them, but I couldn't get in touch." The squadron [***] used full-range masking of our radio communications. ”

In fact, I knew in my heart that I was in contact with the division, and there was nothing the division could do.

At this point, a bullet hit me in the right leg, and I was wounded. The wound was bleeding and painful. Sergeant Ulryrosov, a hygienist at the regimental headquarters, did a simple hemostatic bandaging for me, and then Sergeant Ulryrosov, a hygienist, and Captain Hato, a communications staff officer, dragged me to a passage in the basement of a railway station.

I felt very weak and my head was in a trance, and I looked at my watch on my left wrist with difficulty, there were still three hours before the ceasefire. My frustration is palpable, and we will not survive the ceasefire anyway. I thought to myself, forget it, all resistance is useless. Don't let those young lives be wasted in these 3 hours anymore, their sacrifices are worthless.

I called Captain Hatoamelkov, a communications officer, to my side, and told him in quick and intermittent terms, "Go, convey my orders, tell them to lay down their arms, and stop making this useless resistance." Those who can withdraw, let them withdraw away from the Chinese, and those who cannot withdraw surrender to the Chinese."

I know that my decision will be punished with the harshest punishment by a court-martial after the war, but I am sure that the vast majority of people will support me in making the only right choice under the circumstances.

After the armistice, China's armed forces quietly carried out the work of "suppressing bandits" in the vast "new areas" with the aim of eliminating the remnants of the armed forces of the Soviet army.

The Baikal region is surrounded by mountains and valleys, undulating mountains, green mountains, primeval forests, boundless forests, and ancient trees.

This was the place where Wei Qing and Huo Qu of the Han Dynasty made meritorious contributions, and it was also the place where Su Wu shepherded sheep, the Tang Dynasty of Lake Baikal was called Hanhai, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lifted the threat of the Xiongnu with the power of the whole country, there was a Xiongnu captive who sang to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty while dancing and crying: "Kill my name Wang Xi kidnap me as a song, I want to go without a camel, woohoo, what is the north of the moraine?" What is the south of Beidou? However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the power of the whole country to obtain a large area of land north of the moraine and south of the Beidou, and the tsar did not make much effort, and the expeditionary force of thirty or fifty people could enter Heilongjiang, and four or five hundred people were considered a large army, and the territory opened up was so vast that the tsar finally sold Alaska in North America to the United States very cheaply, which shows how brilliant the tsar was at that time, and how strong the Russian nation was.

The defeat of the Qing Dynasty began with the Kangxi Emperor, who was called the Emperor of the Ages by some hangers, and this Kangxi "Emperor" may have felt that the Far East was too cold, barbaric and boring after occupying the vast and populous Central Plains of China; Or is it because the Russians are too strong and the Han are too weak; Maybe he took the wrong medicine and short-circuited his head, anyway, he gave the Baikal region of the Great Qing Dynasty to Tsarist Russia in the "Sino-Russian Nebuchu Treaty" with a thousand words of paper.

On the western shore of Lake Baikal, there are ancient trees that are towering to the sky, and the sky is gone, and there is no end to the primeval forest. Captain Olesha, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 7th Regiment of the 17th Tank Division of the Rear Baikal Military District of the Soviet Army, with 7 soldiers and two wounded under his command, walked for three days in the vast and dark snowfield of the forest and the snow field, where the wind was blowing and the forest was roaring.

After their participation in the defense of Irkutsk was dispersed, Captain Olyosha fled north along the western shore of Lake Baikal with four T55 tanks of the 3rd Battalion, and was destroyed by Chinese helicopter gunships on the way to Gryazik. Frightened, he no longer dared to run away in a tank. They abandoned their tanks and went into the vast primeval forests on the western shore of Lake Baikal.

For 3 days they didn't know how far they had gone, they got lost. One of the wounded who was burned had been suffering from a high fever. On the fourth day, the wounded man, who had been suffering from a high fever, could no longer bear the pain of the burns and shot himself. Captain Olyosha thought that it would not work like this. In two days, I am afraid that all of them will have to die in this deep mountain and old forest. He decided to leave an AK47 assault rifle and the remaining half of a lieba for the other wounded, and led seven tank crews in the direction of the lake. Thankfully, I had chosen the right direction, and in the evening, I found a wooden ranger's cabin at the edge of the forest. Here he met a Mongolian man in his 40s with a strange name.

Olesha asked the Mongol, who claimed to be called Etzdanbisr, to give them something to eat. This Etzdan Bilsil came from a snowdrift outside the house. He took out a whole skinned and disemboweled roe deer, and with great enthusiasm took out a skin bag containing vodka that tasted and tasted very bad.

Chapter 260 "Ceasefire" released later is wrong, please skip over and don't click! It has avoided unnecessary losses to everyone. It is hereby declared.
