Chapter 620: General Battle: The Surrenderer

"Attack! Offensive! ”

The voices of the chiefs were loud, though they sounded a bit of a mess. The defensive line was broken one after another, and the resistance of the Russians changed from stubbornness to confusion.

Although weapons are not the whole story that determines the outcome of the battlefield, they are a force that can be relied on after all.

And the Chinese have clearly shown this advantage to the fullest.

The planes tirelessly flew over the Red Army positions, and then poured a large number of bombs on the Russians, and with the sound of the explosions, the Russians' positions became a huge grave.

The general attack launched on the 16th cost the Red Army more than 20,000 men in that day.

Nearly half of them were killed, and a large number of the rest became prisoners

The losses were enormous, and Frunze's orders were equally resolute: it was necessary to use all possible means to resolutely delay the enemy's attack, at any sacrifice, at any cost!

Stalin, who was gaining more and more confidence in the struggle for power within the party, also sent a telegram expressing his gratitude to the commander of Frunze in the Kedunsnoyarsk region and all the Red Army fighters for their tremendous efforts, and at the same time demanding that all Red Army soldiers must fight to the end and wipe out all imperialism in Kedunsnoyarsk, and that Moscow would give the greatest help.

"The extermination of Che imperialism in the ...... of Kedunsnoyarsk" is obviously unrealistic, and "Moscow will give the greatest help...... even more impossible to talk about.

Frunze knew very well that everything in Stalin's telegram was nothing more than a painting of bread to satisfy his hunger, and that Kedunsky Noyarsk was completely on his own......

As night approached, the Chinese offensive did not decrease, but became more frequent.

The Chinese soldiers of the brigade, under the cover of tanks, constantly took advantage of the night to launch wave after wave of ferocious attacks on the Russian positions.

Having suffered a heavy blow, Zorochevsky lost his most elite Qth Army, and he vented all his grievances on Meretskov. And, of course, Commander Frunze.

He believed that if Frunze had not appointed a hairy young man as commander of Army Group Q without consulting himself, his troops would not have failed so badly.

All the responsibility must be borne by Frunze and Meretskov!

Now, the small number of troops in his hands is being attacked by the Chinese, and the lack of heavy weapons is completely difficult to stop the Chinese attack.

Just when Zorochevsky was anxious, the Chinese took the initiative to find the hua.

The representative of the 1st Chinese Army, Liu Zhaocheng, a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese army, conveyed to their commander Liu Zhaocheng that the battle had not made much sense now, and he suggested that Zorochevsky lead his troops peacefully to join the ranks of restoring order in Russia.

Liu Zhaocheng very cleverly avoided the embarrassing word "surrender", which made Zorochevsky feel a lot more comfortable psychologically.

At the same time, Liu Zhaocheng also promised that once Zorochevsky chose a peaceful way, he would serve as commander-in-chief of the First Army to be established by the White Guards, and that the Chinese side would provide them with the necessary weapons and equipment. His captured subordinates, if they wished, would also be released and added to the First Army, where they would continue to serve as Zorochevsky's subordinates.

This suggestion is tempting.

Victory? It was already an impossible task for the Russian Red Army.

If the Chinese side can really keep its word, then the "peaceful way" is not a good option.

Zorochevsky was a little embarrassed, after all, he was still a Bolshevik and had the trust of Comrade Stalin, and it was difficult to say what kind of effect it would have on himself and his family if he betrayed him.

"Our commander knows that the punishment for betrayers on the part of Moscow will be very severe" Lieutenant Colonel seemed to see through Zorochevsky's thoughts: "So our agents have secretly picked up your family from Moscow, and I think they are looking forward to meeting you!" ”

Zorochevsky was taken aback, have the Chinese already taken their own family out? If that's the case, then you can reduce a lot of worries.

"I'm sure you'll make the right choice." The lieutenant colonel smiled and said, "If you are determined, then our artillery and aircraft will give you maximum cover, while our infantry will provide reinforcements." ”…,

Zorochevsky groaned for a long time.

He noticed the expressions of his chief of staff and several senior officers, and although they were silent, it was clear that their eyes had told him a lot......

The fate of defeat is irreversible, and the soldiers may not want to fight anymore.

The cluster, which suffered a crushing defeat, could no longer even stop the next attack of the Chinese.

It's time to end all these terrible nightmares......

November 17, Q year of the Republic of China

Zorochevsky, commander of the Zorochevsky cluster of the Russian Red Army, who had suffered constant setbacks in previous battles, telegraphed to the commander-in-chief of the Snoyarsk theater in Kedun, Frunze, and Moscow:

Due to the heavy casualties of this group and the fact that the ammunition is running out, in order to ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers, they will no longer continue to fight, but will choose to withdraw from the battlefield, and will work hard to maintain peace in Russia......

The vast majority of the soldiers chose to follow Zorochevsky, but there were also some staunch Bolsheviks who chose to resist and attack those who surrendered.

But such resistance appears very weak.

The Chinese quickly dispatched aircraft and artillery to bomb the Russians who were unwilling to join the surrender, and sent division after brigade to pick up Zorochevsky and those who surrendered.

This was the highest-ranking officer surrendered by the Soviet and Russian sides in the Battle of Kedunsnoyarsk, which also completely shocked the officers and men of the Red Army who were still fighting in Kedunsnoyarsk.

Frunze was silent after getting the news, maybe he already knew that such a situation would happen, and not only a Zorochevsky, but in the future, there will be more people who choose such a way.

He did not want to blame Zorochevsky, nor did he want to blame anyone who surrendered. When the fate of failure is irreversible, this may be their best choice.

The artillery fire outside continued to sound, and Frunze's heart was plunged into darkness......

17 since, this is the day that decided the victory or defeat of the Kedunsnoyarsk Congress.

The Chinese offensive was gradually intensifying, and a large number of positions fell into the hands of the attackers after only a short period of resistance. A large number of Red Army soldiers were killed or captured.

Frunze put the last bit of reserve troops in his hand into the battlefield, but the battlefield was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring the life narrative.

Moscow has finally begun to pay attention to the tension. In the event of defeat in the battle of Kedunsnoyarsk, the enemy will be able to threaten Moscow's security.

They had thought that even if the enemy had the upper hand, with the large strength of the Red Army in Kedunsnoyarsk, they would be able to hold out until the onset of winter, but now it seemed that they could not achieve this goal.

The best chance to reinforce and break through has been lost, and Kedunsnoyarsk is surrounded like a big iron bucket, and it is exaggerated that not even a fly can fly out.

The Intervening Nation Battlefield Observer Mission has even prepared champagne to celebrate the impending victory......

It was a genius battle, completed by a group of genius Chinese generals.

The Russians were fortunate that the Chinese appeared on the battlefield in time before the Red elements were about to achieve victory, turning the tide of the White Guards' imminent demise.

God bless China!

For the whole day of the 17th, the Chinese and Russian forces continued to expand their victories, and they had to end the battle in as little time as possible.

They welcomed surrender, whatever they called it, the surrenderers, or the "pacifists," at least to make the advance of the offensive much easier!

There were many, many Russian prisoners, and this forced the Chinese to send out a part of the army to take care of these prisoners.

It is not reassuring to hand over to the White Guards, which will only further strengthen the strength of the White Guards, which is not what the Chinese side wants to see......

These captives were able to do a lot of things, such as digging mines, and they were pretty good free laborers.

Of course, some of them did not conform to the convention, but this was firmly denied by Wang Hengyue, the chief general of China, and the intervening powers were not very concerned about the whereabouts of these prisoners of war.

The victors should have some privileges, and the human rights of the captives are not currently in consideration......

On the 17th, the Red Army lost tens of thousands of men, which sharply reduced the strength of the Red Army on the battlefield of Kedunsnoyarsk.

Signs of collapse on the front are already beginning to appear.

Frunze's heart was painful at this time, and he even wanted to be like Zorochevsky, ordering all the soldiers to lay down their arms to save their lives, but Frunze told himself that he must not do this, he must be responsible for Moscow, to the Bolsheviks!

But to stop the enemy's attack, you can only expect a miracle to appear, but a miracle can never happen. The Red Army in Kedunsnoyarsk has already been abandoned.

How long can it last? Frunze didn't know. Maybe tomorrow will be a complete defeat, but as long as you are still here and can continue to command the battle, you will definitely not give up.

The plane "buzzed" by, arrogantly dropped the bomb, and in the midst of the explosions and fires, Frunze watched all this helplessly and sadly.

At this moment, he seems to have turned into a petrified statue! )
