Chapter 572: Puppet Army

The decisive battle of Kedunsnoyarsk is going on step by step according to the plan of the Chinese.

The situation does not look too good for Frunze.

Not long ago, the Chinese suddenly organized a large number of planes and artillery, and bombarded a tank division of the Russians, which was hidden deep and was originally intended to be used as a surprise soldier, causing heavy losses to this tank division. Frunze's plan was also hit hard.

However, this was just an accident for the whole huge decisive battle, and it could not affect Frunze's firm determination to win.

Lenin, Stalin, and Voroshilov repeatedly asked about the situation at the front, and Frunze told them with firm confidence that he would be able to achieve victory!

In mid-to-late September, the two sides began to have frequent skirmishes.

The Chinese constantly used the White Guards to launch attacks on the Russian Red Army defense line in Kedunsnoyarsk, which seemed to be used to test the degree of defense of the Red Army positions.

Several attacks by the White Guards were repulsed by the Red Army, which also greatly encouraged the confidence of the Red Army officers and men.

The Chinese, however, did not care about such losses, but after the failure of the White Guards' offensive, they continued to throw 30,000 White Guards armed by the Chinese into Kedunsnoyarsk.

And the "puppet army" also appeared on the Russian battlefield for the first time.

For example, the 19th Division of the former Soviet Russian Red Army, the former political commissar Oginets, and the new 3rd Division of the White Guards.

This former political commissar of the Red Army, after he chose to surrender, soon began to serve the other camp with all his heart, and he knew that there was no turning back except for this.

Only by making great contributions on the battlefield and completely eliminating those "comrades" of the past can we keep everything we have.

Especially at the moment when neither the Chinese nor the White Guards trust themselves!

"Your Excellency, General!" Oginets pointed to the opposite side of him: "It is the position defended by the 3rd Guerrilla Brigade of the Red Army, and if we can occupy it, we will be able to successfully break through one of the enemy's defensive points and launch the most courageous charge against the enemy after the decisive battle has broken out." ”

The word "enemy" was heard from the mouth of this Russian. Heitie felt a little funny: "Are you familiar with them?" ”

"Familiar, very familiar!" Oginets hurriedly said as if meritorious: "Their captain is called Vishenyak, and the political commissar is Ivan. Ivanov, who used to be a Baloch. General Shevlov's subordinates, who, through Stalin, removed Shevlov from his post and put him in command. But he failed. After the defeat, Balloch. Shevlov was shot. But he was demoted, and then he came here as a political commissar. ”

"Good." Black Iron nodded: "The opposite side is not the enemy's regular troops, just a partisan army, Ivanov, I used all the mortars of my division to support." Lead your 3rd Division to take up the position! ”

Oginets stood up excitedly: "Yes!" ”

His opportunity has finally arrived, as long as he can defeat the Third Guerrilla Brigade of the Red Army on the opposite side, the mark of "Bolshevik" on his previous body can be completely washed away, and he can truly gain the trust of the Chinese

The 3rd Division fought the 3rd Guerrilla Brigade, and the good show of the Russians fighting the Russians began to be staged!

Black Iron fulfilled his promise, and all the mortars of the FΓΌhrer's division were concentrated. Facing the positions of the Red Army partisans was a frenzied bombardment!

A large number of shells whistled in, and almost the entire position was destroyed!

Then, countless soldiers of the Russian 3rd Division, armed with various weapons, shouted "Ula" and rushed forward.

Black Iron had a headache as soon as he heard "Ula", since arriving on the Russian battlefield. I've heard this call countless times. Wouldn't the Russians call something other than "Ula"?

To the disappointment of Black Iron, the White Guards did not show the attack power they expected.

The Red Army, whose positions had been heavily damaged, quickly rose from the dirt and launched the fiercest and toughest counterattack against the enemy who rushed up!

The menacing White Guards rushed three times in one go, but they were all knocked down.

Oginets was furious, even though he was not a proper military commander. But with absolute superiority in weapons and numbers, the former commissar of the Red Army, who was originally full of confidence. But once again lost face in front of the Chinese. …,

After receiving another artillery support from Black Iron, Ivanov regained his spirits. Commanding all his troops again, he rushed forward.

The Red Army guerrillas defended their positions with rudimentary weapons and a large number of grenades, and on several occasions when they saw that the White Guards were about to rush up, these Red Army troops rushed out of their positions in unison, and drove the White Guards back with bayonets

"Master, your lunch is ready."

Hei Tie sat down on a chair expressionlessly, and asked the orderly to bring the lunch here, just in time to see Li Jiayu, beckoned him to eat together.

Li Jiayu doesn't know how to drink, Hei Tie poured a glass in his small wine cup and took a sip: "When I was in the United States, I always drank foreign wine, but now it tastes better than my own wine." ”

Li Jiayu smiled, the battlefield is like this, the master still has the heart to taste wine here?

"Master, these Russians are all temporarily armed, and the fight is a little difficult, do you want to pull our people up?"

"Why are you pulling our people up?" Black Iron looked very surprised: "I have already provided enough mortar support to Oginets, why do you want my people to die?" ”

As if comforting, he said: "Don't worry, I've seen it, although those Bolsheviks are very stubborn in their will to fight, their weapons are really not good, and they will not be able to withstand it in a while." ”

Sure enough, by the time the second glass of wine was drunk, the battle report had already come from the front.

After Oginets shot several officers in succession, the 3rd Division launched several more charges, and with the strong support of artillery shells, Oginetsv's 3rd Division finally occupied the forward positions of the Russian Red Army and was advancing in depth.

The victorious 3rd Division was in good spirits, and the speed of its subsequent advance was hard to believe even for Black Iron.

By 4:30 p.m., most of the positions of the 3rd Guerrilla Brigade of the Red Army had been occupied, and the remnants had retreated to the last core positions for the last and most stubborn resistance.

But the outcome of the battle is already very clear

Ivan in the command. Ivanov was extremely depressed at this time.

Earlier, when he was under General Shevlov, he suffered a defeat, but thanks to his unlimited loyalty to Comrade Stalin, he was able to save his position and his life.

But now here, I will face another failure.

Their own fighters had done their best, they showed great tenacity on the battlefield, and on several occasions when the Red Army soldiers pulled grenades when their positions were about to be lost.

However, the superiority of the enemy is simply too obvious

This time, Comrade Stalin will not give himself another chance.

The captain of the brigade, Vishenyak, was carried in, and he, who was personally directing the battle at the front, was already seriously wounded and beckoned to Ivanov on a stretcher.

Ivanov came over, and he heard Vishenyak weakly say: "Comrade Political Commissar, I can't do it, the troops will be handed over to you, please please be sure to fight to the end with your comrades, definitely"

Ivanov nodded silently, and Vishnyak had a smile on his face, and then died.

Ivanov did not know what to do, and at this time a large number of enemy cries were heard around the command headquarters, and the 3rd partisan brigade of the Red Army was surrounded

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the 3rd Guerrilla Brigade of the Russian Red Army was annihilated, most of them were killed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people became prisoners.

And Ivan. Ivanov was also among the captives. He also met his "old friend":

Former political commissar of the Red Army of Soviet Russia Oginets!

He was amazed at how this once staunch comrade had become an officer of the White Guards, and why he had turned his gun upside down against his comrade.

Traitor, this is a traitor to the revolution.

But Oginets didn't care about this, but did his best to do Ivanov's work, hoping that he would become a White Guard officer like himself.

Ivanov refused without hesitation. He told his former comrades:

"I have my own ideals and beliefs, and I will never betray them, and from the day I join the revolution, I am ready to sacrifice. I will be remembered by all Russians, and you are just a shameful traitor! ”

Oginets was annoyed, but helpless, and then gave the order to shoot Ivanov.

No matter how incompetent Ivanov was on the battlefield, at least one thing was that he was much more backbone than Oginets, and he never begged for mercy until he died.

However, Ivanov did not expect that when the news of his death came out, instead of receiving a commendation, he would be expelled from the party and all positions.

The reason is also simple, Ivanov betrayed the trust of the party and once again suffered a shameful defeat. Instead of committing suicide generously in the face of the enemy, he became a prisoner, which was unacceptable to the Revolutionary Military Council.

Also treated in this way was Vishenyak, who fought until his death.

God knows what those Russians think, God knows.

Oginets, who had made a meritorious contribution to the war, was rewarded by the Chinese, and Black Iron not only praised him in front of everyone, but also allowed him to preferentially select a part of the captives to supplement Oginets's troops.

These puppet armies are very much needed on the Russian battlefield now, and these Russian puppet armies will play an increasingly important role in the future!
