August 11 was a day that the 19th Division of the Russian Red Army would never forget!

On this day, one of China's most elite armed forces appeared on the battlefield:

The Führer Division of the Great Presidential Guard!

Armed to the teeth, armed to the teeth, with the full support of aircraft, artillery, and armored vehicles, this unit launched wave after wave of attacks on the 19th Division of the Red Army.

The positions of the Red Army were trembling, and the lives of the Red Army were disappearing one by one.

The law of the battlefield is like this, when you are on the weak side, there is only one path to face:

Destroy!

Major General Eskiff was already there doing his best, desperately mobilizing all the resources at his disposal, trying to defend his position as best he could.

But the advantages of the Chinese are too comprehensive!

Several positions had already been destroyed under the enemy's frenzied bombardment, and in some positions all the Red officers and men had been killed, and the enemy had no trouble seizing the positions.

By 3 p.m., the situation had become more serious.

But the Pososky regiment, the main force of the 19th Division of the Red Army in the front-line positions, was in a precarious situation. The enemy seems to have chosen this as the main attack position.

One after another, Pososky's calls for reinforcements flew to the division headquarters, and by 3:30 a.m., the situation on Pososky's repeated expressions had almost reached the point of no repair, and without reinforcements, the position would soon be lost.

"Comrade Mirov Bosovsky, in the name of the Party, I ask you to stick to your position and not allow the enemy to take a step forward, this is your responsibility and responsibility to the Party! I will find a way to send reinforcements, and before the reinforcements arrive, we must not lose an inch of position, this is the order! Eskifer said sternly into the phone.

Putting down the phone, Esquif's brow furrowed.

At the division headquarters, Chief of Staff Balshak and Political Commissar Oginets also looked very uneasy.

The situation is too serious, they are all well aware of the situation that Posovsky is facing, and it is already remarkable that they have been able to hold out until now, and the position is still in his hands.

"If we don't send more reinforcements, I'm afraid Pososky won't be able to hold on."

Balshak said worriedly: "Once his position is lost, then our division headquarters will face a direct attack from the enemy. Comrade division commander, we must come up with a way. ”

Way? Eskiff smiled bitterly, did he still have troops in his hands?

Oginets said on the side: "I suggest that all the non-combatants of the division headquarters be gathered together at once and Pososky should be immediately reinforced." ”

"Okay, I'll go ......".

Before Balshak's words came out, Oginets had already rushed to speak; "No, you and Comrade Division Commander continue to command here, let me personally take the comrades up."

Esquifer nodded: "For now, that's the only way." Comrade Political Commissar, everything is handed over to you! ”

"For victory!"

"For victory!"

"Why hasn't the main position been taken down yet?" Black Iron put down the telescope dissatisfied.

Only then was he transferred to the Führer's division, and the young chief of staff, Li Jiayu, pointed to the front and said: "Most of the positions have been broken through by our troops, except for the positions of the Pososky regiment. The defenses there were very strong, and we attacked several times in the face, causing a lot of casualties to the enemy......".

"I don't want how many enemies to kill and wound, I want positions!" Black Iron interrupted him coldly.

"Yes." Li Jiayu responded loudly.

As the first batch of cadets of the Rongxian Military Academy that year, Li Jiayu did not seem to want the position of chief of staff, in his opinion, leading troops to fight on the front line like his classmates Rao Guohua and Xu Guozhang was what he wanted.

But since you are sitting in this position, you can only do your task unconditionally!

"Master, I'll go up and command it myself!"

Hei Tie nodded: "I will transfer the last reserve regiment to you again, form a fist for me, tear apart the Russian defense line, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, I will destroy the Russian defense line!" ”

"Yes!"

The young chief of staff replied so loudly......

Dozens of mortars rained shells at enemy positions.

Hordes of infantry re-attacked.

Pososki knew that it would be difficult for him to continue to hold back the Chinese attack. He and his soldiers had done their best.

"Comrade Pososky!" …,

Suddenly, the voice of political commissar Oginets came from the position.

Pososky hurriedly stood up: "Comrade Political Commissar, why are you here in person?" ”

"I brought you reinforcements, Comrade Pososky!" Oginets said with a serious expression.

Pososky saw hundreds of soldiers standing there in order. Some of them are staff officers and clerks of the division headquarters, and some are signal soldiers and cooks

Pososky immediately understood that this was already the last force that could be used in the hands of the division commander.

"You have to hold your ground." After inquiring about the situation on the battlefield, Oginets said: "We are not tired all the time, but the enemy is very tired――――――......

With a "boom", a shell exploded on the position.

The explosion of the bomb made what Pososky had meant to say re-swallowed.

The enemy was not tired, they had an absolute and comprehensive superiority in firepower, and it was the Red Army fighters who were really tired. But such words are useless to say to the political commissar.

The battle was going on in the dark, and the big waves hit the Red Army positions one after another. As long as there is one enemy on the position, the big wave will never recede.

The reinforcements brought by Oginets were more than half damaged by the enemy's first attack. Oginets was also completely frightened by such frantic artillery fire from the enemy.

When he was in the division headquarters, he always thought that cutting the face was exaggerating the enemy's firepower advantage, and as long as there was a first-class spirit, no matter what kind of artillery superiority could be weakened.

But only when you go to the battlefield can you experience all this.

"Comrade Political Commissar, Comrade Regiment Commander, position A has been broken through by the enemy!"

Pososky suddenly became nervous, this is the most important position of the whole regiment! He picked up his chalk gun: "Comrade Political Commissar, please command here on my behalf, and I will personally lead the troops to recapture Position A!" ”

"Oh good," Oginets replied absent-mindedly.

Pososky rushed forward with his troops, braving the heaviest enemy fire.

He and his men behaved very bravely, completely ignoring the enemy's fire, and pounced on the Q position layer by layer.

The tongues of machine gun fire swept towards the enemy, and countless Russians fell in the way of the charge.

Pososky was screaming loudly, trying to encourage his soldiers, when suddenly his body froze there, and blood was pouring down his chest.

On August 11, 1920, Stalin's loyal follower, the commander of the 19th Division of the Red Army, Pososky, was killed.

It is said that Stalin, after hearing the news of Pososky's death, was sad for several days without eating, but only for a small regimental commander.

The death of Pososky changed the situation on the battlefield in the most fundamental way!

When Oginets heard the news of Pososky's death, the once calm political commissar of the Red Army suddenly became panicked.

He was even a little annoyed that he had taken the initiative to ask for battle, why he had come to this damn front line.

Everyone waited for the political commissar's order, but the political commissar locked himself in the command and refused to come out.

The enemy's attack will not stop because of the opposing commander, and the final assault on here begins!

At 6 p.m., Oginets finally appeared in front of the officers, his face solemn:

"Comrades, you know better than me the situation we are facing now, and continuing to fight will only continue to increase unnecessary casualties, so I decided to throw myself into the enemy"

"What?" All the people shouted out in unison.

They persevered here and fought bloodily, could it be that this is the result they were waiting for in the end?

Oginets tried his best to convince everyone: "Comrades, I am not afraid of life and death, but for the needs of the **." We have lost for the time being, but we can still fight the enemy ......."

He chattered and said, meaning nothing more than that continuing to resist was just a dead end.

A Red Army company commander stood up, he untied the gun from his waist and put it aside: "Comrade Political Commissar, fight or surrender, this is your choice, I obey your orders, but I also have the right to decide my fate." Here, I feel shameful, disgusting, I feel unworthy for those comrades who sacrificed, I feel sad and angry for the sacrifice of Comrade Regiment Commander. ”

At 6:30 p.m. on August 11, 1920, Oginets, political commissar of the 19th Division of the Red Army, ordered the entire regiment to lay down their arms and surrender to the Chinese on the opposite side.

The consequences of Oginets' surrender were very serious.

This main position fell into the hands of the Chinese, cutting off the various positions of the 19th Division, and the division headquarters of the 19th Division was also directly exposed to Chinese artillery fire.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Black Iron concentrated all its artillery fire and launched an artillery bombardment of the headquarters of the 19th Division of the Red Army.

When early morning came, sporadic gunfire was still ringing, but there was a terrible silence on the position.

The 19th Division was a complete failure.

While cleaning up the battlefield, the Chinese soldiers managed to find two bodies, one belonging to Major General Eskiv, the commander of the 19th Division, and the other to the Chief of Staff of the 19th Division, Borshak.

They died under Chinese artillery fire.

In fact, they didn't know until they died that Oginets, the political commissar they trusted, who once had an extremely firm will, had betrayed their cause.

This is just the beginning, and more and more Russians will surrender in the future! ）
