Chapter 604: Battle of the General Assembly (2)

The brigade headquarters of the Dumchev brigade was devastated, and Dumchev himself died on the battlefield!

This is just the beginning, far from the end.

The Chinese did not rejoice at the death of a Dumashev, and did not even stop their advance.

On the contrary, they have invested more troops on the battlefield.

The fate of the Qth Army of the Russian Red Army was already in jeopardy

On the frontal battlefield of Kedunsnoyarsk, Zhang Zuolin's Northeast Army and Wu Peifu's Second Army also began to increase their attacks, striving to settle the battle before the cold winter arrived......

Frunze did nothing, and he couldn't come up with any solution to the problem.

But he could not be blamed, and Moscow had no intention of reinforcing him. From the very beginning of the battle of Ktonsnoyarsk, they had only one order:

Resolute victory!

Resolute victory? Is it possible to achieve victory just by paying lip service?

To achieve victory in a campaign, to a large extent, it does not only rely on the front-line commanders, but requires the cooperation and coordination of various forces, if even the most basic logistical support can be achieved, if the front line needs reinforcements the most, but the rear is still fighting for rights, then such a battle is actually doomed.

If it did suffer a crushing defeat, then it is fair to say that Frunze should only bear half the blame......

The same goes for Meretskov!

The young commander of the Red Army had done everything he could.

He tried his best to fight the Chinese in a situation of overall disadvantage.

It is a pity that standing in front of him was an outstanding and talented general Liu Zhaocheng, as well as a steady stream of material reinforcements from China and the American, British, and French powers to the front line.

The gap is comprehensive!

Bad news continued to come, and the entire Q Army had one foot on the edge of the cliff, and the plan to disperse the battle with small units of troops had achieved certain results in the early stage, but as the war continued, its shortcomings began to show......

For example, the brigade headquarters of Dumawhitev.

If the brigade headquarters had been reinforced by even one unit in the vicinity of an attack, it would not have turned out to be like this

The Chinese used mortars and flamethrowers as pioneers, ruthlessly destroying enemy defenses one after another. The living space of the Qth Army has been getting smaller and smaller.

Not only that, but the Soviet Russian guerrillas, who were constantly trying to echo the Red Army in the encirclement on the outer front, were also constantly dealt heavy blows.

Liu Zhaocheng used one main division and two divisions of the White Guards to launch a comprehensive purge of the Soviet Russian guerrillas. At the same time, Liu Zhaocheng did not rush to put those new players who had reinforces Russia on the front-line battlefield, but let them join the ranks of the purging first, so that they could grasp the battlefield experience to the greatest extent and adapt to the war as soon as possible.

The living conditions of the guerrillas have also become harsh

What was even more embarrassing was that the local Russian population had completely abandoned the Red Army and the partisans, and they had also joined the ranks of the revolt.

Many of these Russian people constantly provided the Chinese with everything related to the partisans. It often happened that the partisans had only arrived in one place and had not had time to catch their breath, and the Chinese army quickly overwhelmed them, forcing the Russian partisans to leave the place in a hurry.

If it is repeated, the partisans will not get any rest at all......

The will of the partisans was far less determined than that of the regular army of the Red Army, and under the severe blows, their psychological defense line was seriously shaken and finally completely collapsed!

So they have only one choice:

Surrender!

In fact, even the determined Red Army was surrounded by a large number of surrendered soldiers.

Liu Zhaocheng knew that victory was not far from him. As long as the Russian Army Q is defeated, then a huge hole will be torn open in the flank of the Russians in the entire Kedunsnoyarsk battlefield. Frunze will never be able to forget again.

Liu Zhaocheng preemptively asked for a concubine!

He re-ordered the scattered troops to gather together, and the previously scattered forces were combined into a fist, giving the Soviet Russian Red Army the final and most resolute blow!

On November 11th, the "Landslide Operation Plan" began! …,

The Chinese army, which was scattered all over the mountains, launched a tsunami attack on the Qth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army, which was in the encirclement. They were constantly attacking on all fronts, and they were pinching every corner for every Red Army they could see!

The end of the Q Army is not far from Meretskov

On the day of the 11th, the First Army launched 17 large and small battles to annihilate and capture more than 10,000 Red Army soldiers. In some cases, the battle was over in as little as a few minutes.

Russian

The strength of the Chinese people is really scattered, and they are simply unable to organize even a single effective resistance under the impact of the superior power of the Chinese.

Young Meretskov looked very immature in front of the equally young Liu Zhaocheng and was far from being an opponent.

To be fair, the two have different starting lines.

Liu Zhaocheng has been fully trusted by Wang Hengyue, the general commander, since the beginning of the domestic unification war, and he has been promoted two levels in a day, and Wang Hengyue is even a little partial to him. He experienced the Chinese civil war, and was also fully tested in the general battle in Hunan, and accumulated a lot of experience.

At the same time, whether it is Wang-Hengyue or Zhang Xiaohuai, they have given him the most comprehensive trust and support on the battlefield, and he does not have to be distracted by anything other than the battlefield. There was only one thing he had to do:

Defeat the enemies in front of you!

And Meretskov does not enjoy such treatment!

Although he has participated in many wars before, he has always appeared as a staff officer and does not really have the most direct front-line battlefield experience. At the same time, he was appointed commander by Frunze at the height of the crisis of the Q Army. And his Qth Army was faced alone.

No planes, no artillery, no tanks, no reinforcements, no troop support, no ammunition replenishment......

In a situation like this, you simply can't ask for too much from him!

He had done everything he could.

In a telegram to Frunze on the 11th, he said: "The situation is already very bad, and the Chinese is advancing in all directions and some of the troops have run out of chalk, forcing them to fight the most courageous battle with the enemy with bayonets in the face of the enemy's attack, and the result is that you are in a very difficult situation, and judging from the Chinese offensive situation, they have determined to end the battle in two or three days, and the order to hold on for fifteen days may not be fulfilled...... On the 11th, after Comrade Dumashev, another brigade commander was killed and a division commander was captured, which is known to me, and the rest of the circumstances are unknown, or there were many more senior commanders who died or were captured......".

In the telegram, although Meretskov did not say anything more, the desperation was already irrepressible in the telegram, and no matter how determined the commander was, in such a situation, the confidence would be shaken......

Meretskov's judgment is very accurate, Liu Zhaocheng has already made up his mind to end the battle in two to three days and completely destroy the Q Army!

He unreservedly committed all the forces he could, and gave the front-line commanders the greatest autonomy to do whatever military action they saw necessary, without having to report to the command.

Zhang Xiaohuai also sent a telegram to Liu Zhaocheng!

The General Headquarters of China's Operations against Russia has decided to launch a full-scale attack on the encircled Russian army in Kedunsnoyarsk on November 16, Q year of the Republic of China!

This also means that Zhang Xiaohuai, Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China, has decided to end the Battle of Kedunsnoyarsk.

Those brave and warlike Chinese soldiers, those veterans who have been tested by war for a long time, and those new soldiers who are gradually growing up, they have devoted themselves to one battle after another without hesitation for a common purpose.

Even when night came, the attacks did not stop at all, but intensified!

The firelight illuminates the night as day.

The constant sound of explosions, whistling shells, and shouting charges made the battlefield look so thrilling.

There are constantly people falling and dying in the fighting, and there are also desperate Russians who lay down their arms and walk out of hiding.

It's better to be alive than anything else.

One by one, the wounded wailed in the flames of war. Some of them are lucky enough to receive timely treatment and can continue to live, but some are not so lucky, and they can only leave this world in pain.

No one will shed a tear for them.

Tears are the most cowardly expression on the battlefield, tears will not bring you victory, let alone chalk bullets for you, and the enemy will not stop because of your tears.

The battle continued to rage all night

The soldiers shouted words that were difficult for outsiders to understand, and dialects from all over the place were constantly heard on the battlefield. The commanders all had black faces and kept yelling to inquire about the situation at the front. The staff officers in the headquarters were in a hurry, and no one wanted to stay for even a second.

At this point in the war, we have entered a most critical moment.

Everyone is trying, whether Chinese or Russian.

The only difference is that the Chinese soldiers are getting closer and closer to victory! )
