Chapter 052: Kolchak's Surrender (Part I)
Of course, Kolchak is just thinking about the gains and losses in his heart, and he is naturally not so fast in action, he needs to wait, and when there is really no way to change the situation of the war, it is not too late to surrender, anyway, he is not going to go back, even if he goes back, even if the sentence is light, he will go to Siberia to plant potatoes, but Siberia is about to run out, so he has nowhere to plant potatoes, and the final outcome will definitely be death, so Kolchak has strengthened his belief in surrender,
Kolchak once again asked the troops to resist the attack of the squadron regardless of casualties, and on the other hand, he sent a report to Deng Nijin, asking him to support him.
However, Kolchak's final hope is that Deng Nijin's situation is better than him, and the way back is still there, but there is no way to rescue him, at most they are holding on.
Kolchak looked at the telegram sent by Deng Nijin, and finally made up his mind to surrender.
The so-called "aftermath" is to bring together the unloyal subordinates who usually trust him, and those loyal subordinates and his deputy commander are summoned, and Kolchak is thinking about whether to kill these people for meritorious service or cover their evacuation.
After all, no one wants their nation to be ruled by others, but think about whether they kill their own family members will be killed, even if they don't surrender, but they still have to die, and it's useless to have a wife, and once they die, they don't know which man's bed to go to.
"Huh......" Kolchak took a deep breath and decided to kill these people and Chinese go there to make meritorious service, with this level of credit, Chinese will definitely let himself go,
Think about it again after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new government will definitely be formed, even if it is a puppet, China will definitely need people, at that time, that position is not saved by himself, Kolchak can't think of a more suitable person,
As for the possibility that China will directly annex tens of millions of square kilometers of land, the current world situation is changing rapidly, and the Americans have landed in France, and it is really hard to say.
Serov was the political commissar of the Kolchak army group, a loyal believer of Stalin, he was sent by Stalin to control the army, and at the same time monitor Kolchak and others,
Since Stalin's seizure of power, he has been in charge of the army, and the Great Purge is actually a continuation of it, and that time Stalin killed everyone who didn't pat him on the back, let alone those who were dissatisfied with him.
Kolchak called Serov, and soon the rule of Serov, who cheered up the soldiers at the front, arrived,
"Comrade Kolchak, why is there such an emergency?"
"Comrade Serov, the current battle situation is not good, the squadron is completely devastating, our advantages have no room to play at all, now the troops are less than 70,000, we can fight only 60,000 troops, I am afraid that the battle will not last long, so I think you retreat first, and we will fight to the death with the Chinese."
Serov actually wanted to leave, but he was a political commissar who generally didn't mention this kind of escape, if it was spread out, he would die, but he didn't expect Kolchak to take the initiative to let him and others leave, but he stayed to fight to the death with the squadron, Serov was surprised, but although he wanted to leave, on the one hand, he was worried that Kolchak was testing him, and on the other hand, it was not easy to agree, otherwise he would show Kolchak a joke,
"So how to do, now that the great Soviet Union has reached the critical point of life and death, it is when we are needed, how can we escape, and the Chinese will not let go just because they have captured Irkutsk, they may still want to take Central Asia and the whole of Siberia, we must not retreat."
Kolchak has been partnering with Serov for so long, knowing Serov's sycophant character, he has long wanted to leave, and he is still pretending to be forced here, Kolchak patted him on the shoulder and said: "Comrade Serov, this is not an escape, this is a strategic retreat, we are afraid that we will all die if we continue to fight, but retreat to the industrial base in Siberia, we will have enough soldiers to fight with the squadron, and the materials are also very rich, so we will not have to be beaten passively like now." ”
"In addition, Comrade Serov, you have to do one thing when you retreat, that is, to destroy all the railways along the way to Europe, block the attack of the squadron, so that we can buy more time to organize manpower and material resources to resist the squadron, if the railway is left, then a large number of materials produced in China will be transported to the industrial base in Siberia, we will face the same dilemma today, China is not what it used to be, look at their shells that have not been interrupted all night, Even we, the Soviet Union, may not have such a big deal, Comrade Serov, do not hesitate. ”
Kolchak burst into tears when he spoke, and even a cunning person like Serov was moved,
But Serov still said cautiously: "Comrade Kolchak, I understand your kindness, but you are the military commander, this kind of task should be carried out by you, and besides, how can you fight without a general, and I can't command a large army to fight." ”
Kolchak secretly scolded Serov for being treacherous, and he didn't let go at this time, no wonder Serov suddenly became the political commissar of a group army from a little-known company instructor, and that sycophancy was naturally good, otherwise I am afraid that I would not even be able to pass the level of the Great Purge,
"Comrade Serov, the military listens to me, life listens to you, this matter belongs to the military, so you must listen to me, you don't want Rory to be verbose, anyway, you take your people and leave immediately, there are still wounded, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late." After saying that, Kolchak waved his hand, looking very depressed,
Serov felt that Kolchak should really want to let him go at this time, "I ......" Before his words could be spoken, Kolchak waved his hand and didn't let him say,
Serov was silent for a moment and said: "Comrade Kolchak, the Soviet people will not forget you, I will definitely report your heroic deeds to Comrade Stalin when I go back, and I will definitely apply for medals and honors for you." "After saying that, he strode out with a weak heart,
Kolchak took a deep breath when he walked away with the sound of footsteps, and said secretly in his heart: "Dear Katyusha, don't blame me, I am also forced to do it, I don't want you and our children to die, if you die it was Stalin's doing, if you don't die, I will definitely compensate you at that time." ”
As soon as Serov came out of the barracks, he immediately gathered his subordinates, this is his team, naturally he can't leave it behind, and with the team, he can continue to enjoy glory and wealth.
The Soviet army watched the political commissars and instructors and the soldiers who usually had a good relationship with the instructors being summoned, and they were inexplicable in their hearts, the situation was so grim, where are these guys going, and these people actually have to pack up their things, and they don't have to pack things to perform any tasks,
Kolchak saw that Serov's actions had set off a huge reaction in the army, so he took the opportunity to say that Serov and others wanted to leave while the squadron had not taken Irkutsk.
As soon as the news came out, the Soviet army was immediately detonated, usually they were suppressed by these political workers, and even spoke carefully, and now they braved the rain of bullets to defend the country, these guys who usually eat and drink spicy food actually took the lead in escaping, which made their hearts very dissatisfied, and they didn't have their share in eating and drinking spicy food, and they were always on desperately, and this gang of moths went first to escape,
The more the Soviet soldiers thought about it, the more dissatisfied they became, they couldn't figure out why, why,
Serov's actions directly poured cold water on the Soviet army, although they were beaten everywhere and felt aggrieved, but at least everyone is the same, they will have the heart of death, and they have no greed for life, and now the commanders are going to run away, and the breath in their hearts will be vented,
The reason why Kolchak wanted Serov and the others to leave again was actually because Serov and the others had accumulated prestige for a long time since the Great Purge, and no one dared to resist, if they continued to stay, in case they were unwilling to surrender, then their plans would be in vain.
As for the turmoil caused by the departure of Serov and others, he really didn't think about it, or he didn't think about it so much for the time being, but the turmoil in the Soviet army's morale played a lot of positive roles in Kolchak's surrender.
At 4 o'clock on July 13, the fighting continued, but the resistance of the Soviet army was significantly weaker, because Serov transferred a large number of instructors and political commissars, and at the same time, the morale of the Soviet army plummeted, and they no longer had any motivation.
At this time, Serov gathered 5000 troops, these are usually obedient people, Serov did not plan to take away the wounded, although it was a little cruel, but Serov knew the current situation, it will soon be dawn, the squadron has controlled three-fifths of the city of Irkutsk, and the battle will end today,
If he wants to bring thousands of wounded, especially those who are seriously wounded, they may not be able to escape, not to mention that if they are discovered by the strange aircraft of the squadron, then they will definitely be bombed, and the casualties will definitely be even more heavy at that time.
And Kolchak did not remind Serov to take more other troops, anyway, it was no longer important, at this time he fantasized that the Chinese would let him go, and then he would continue to lead this army and lead them to establish a new regime, and he would also be the head of state and enjoy the feeling of Stalin's superiority,
At half past four, Serov left, because Kolchak said that he would fight to the death and did not intend to run away, so Serov drove almost all the cars that could move, so that they would be much faster,
Knowing that Serov, the bastard, is really gone, if the Soviet army is usually very happy, but at this time they can't be happy, Serov left because he didn't want to die, he didn't have to die, but it seems that they can't, without the order of their superiors, if they escape, their family will not die and will be sent to Siberia to sweet potatoes,
Planting sweet potatoes doesn't look like anything, but if you understand that the winter in Siberia is minus sixty or seventy degrees, and if you understand that Siberia can't support yourself at all, no one wants to go.
