On September 29, 9 years of the Republic of China, the squadron launched an attack on Garetke with a Chinese division and two divisions of the White Guards.

The "Battle of Kedunsnoyarsk" broke out!

On this day, the intensity of the Sino-Russian attack was not quite the same as Frunze and the Red Army commanders had imagined. For a whole day, they launched only a few symbolic attacks, and in the event of a counterattack, they immediately withdrew from their positions.

But the next day, the attack of the Chinese and Russian coalition forces suddenly became stronger.

Countless soldiers launched a tsunami-like attack on Garetke, launching the most ferocious assault on the positions of the Soviet Russian Red Army again and again.

On several positions, under the repeated onslaught of the Sino-Russian coalition forces, there were tragic white-knuckle battles.

Tens of thousands of people were strangled in Garetke.

Subsequently, both the Sino-Russian coalition forces and the Soviet and Russian Red Army began to frequently mobilize troops in this area.

By the 1st, the two sides had unknowingly amassed more than 100,000 heavy troops in this area.

And this also allowed Frunze to be convinced:

The decisive battle of the Chinese has begun!

Frunze entrusted Voskanov's 12th Army with the responsibility of defending the area, and in his opinion, Voskanov, a good commander, would live up to his expectations.

And in the Mirny region, Semyon. Mikhailovich. Budyonny's cavalry corps also encountered a large number of White Guards.

The cavalry corps commanded by Budyonny struck first, and after several successive assaults, repelled the attacks of the White Guards and stabilized the situation in Mirny.

The failure of Mirny's sneak attack can convince Frunze that Kedunsnoyarsk is the only battlefield to live in!

For this, in the presence of all the commanders, he specially praised the young staff officer: Comrade Meretskov.

The Garretk offensive and defensive battle, by the day of October 2, had entered the most tragic stage.

The 100,000-strong army assembled here has waged the craziest battles on every inch of land. Attack, defense, bloodshed, and death are played out almost every minute.

There is something strange about the behavior of the Chinese. Their air force sorties were infrequent, their artillery was far less powerful than the Russians had imagined, and only a pitiful handful of their armored vehicles appeared on the battlefield.

But all this did not go unnoticed by Voskanov.

In his view, the air force, artillery, and tanks on the battlefield are not the decisive factors in victory or defeat, and the tenacious determination of the soldiers can ultimately determine the outcome of the war.

Voskanov gave his subordinates a death order:

All the valiant commanders and fighters of the Red Army must firmly hold on to their positions and not give up an inch of their positions until there is still a living person on the position. All for the Soviets, all for the Bolsheviks!

But under this death order, the 12th Army of the Red Army did show great tenacity.

They are risking their lives to protect almost every inch of their position.

The place where the most fierce battles, called "Z-position" by the Russians, was here arranged by Voskanov for the defense of a brigade. Brigade commander Major General R.S. Sisfulov.

From the first day of the Battle of Ktonsnoyarsk, it became the focus of contention between the two sides.

In three days, Sisfulov and his entire brigade repelled at least thirty enemy charges. Despite the heavy casualties of the entire brigade, the Z position was still firmly in the hands of the Red Army.

But in these three days, Sisfulov also lost at least half of his strength.

Fortunately, at the most passive and critical time for the whole brigade, Commander Voskanov promptly reinforced them with a regiment of troops.

Sisfulov's opponents were Li Jinglin's 11th Division and two White Guard Divisions, the 6th and 9th Divisions of the Northeast Army.

The tenacity of these Russian Red Army has long been accustomed to Li Jinglin!

He was one of the first officers to fight in Russia. The 11th Division was also the first unit to enter Russia to fight. In their previous encounters with the enemy, they fully understood the enemy's tenacity.

Sometimes the Russians won't give up until the last minute.

The 9th White Guard Division was almost crushed. Their division commander was also killed in front of the position. Truth be told, they did everything they could.

At this time, a mysterious army appeared on the battlefield. …,

This is the special operations unit of the Great Presidential Guards that followed Zhang Xiaohuai to the Russian battlefield closely!

Their commander was Dr. Chan, a lieutenant colonel. His real name, Li Jinglin can't know either.

"Dr. Chen"

As soon as Li Jinglin spoke, he was quickly interrupted by Dr. Chen:

"No, I'm not Dr. Chen, my current name is Qiusnowsky. I am a Russian ** officer, and my unit is known as 'General Kolchak's Guard', and we are here to avenge General Kolchak. ”

Li Jinglin was a little puzzled, what do you want to make so mysterious?

He saw that the people brought by Dr. Chen had all changed into White Guard uniforms, and then put on strange-shaped masks. Distributed to the hands of a number of officers.

"This is a gas mask, each officer and soldier of the 11th Division will be assigned one, before that, please withdraw all the 6th and 9th divisions of the White Guards to the rear." Dr. Chan said with a blank face.

Li Jinglin became more and more puzzled, he had no idea what Dr. Chen and his troops wanted to do

The offensive stopped, and the 6th and 9th White Guard Divisions, which suffered heavy casualties, were pulled to the rear for rest. The 11th Division of the Northeast Army, which remained on the front line, was each given a gas mask.

A large number of mortars and artillery ejections appeared on the front line.

Sisfulov and his soldiers did not know why the enemy offensive suddenly stopped

Dr. Chan has been observing the direction of the wind. At 6 p.m. on October 2, when Dr. Chan finally waited for the wind direction that pleased him. The "Garretk gas war" began.

A large number of mortar shells whizzed down on the Russian positions, but there was no earth-shattering explosion as the Russians imagined.

The sound of the explosion is soft, completely different from the standard explosion. But after each explosion, a cloud-like poisonous gas with a slightly greenish-yellow color slowly rose. No one among the Russians on the positions knew what was going on. As the cloud drifted in front of them, they began to suffocate, gasping in pain, and many fell down, suffocating.

Their eyes, nose and throat felt as if they had been burned by an acidic substance

"Poison gas, it's poison gas, the enemy attacked with poison gas!" Sisvlov shouted loudly.

It's late, it's too late when you find out.

Those who were not yet dead were desperately clutching their throats, screaming and running everywhere desperately.

They often can't run a few steps, they fall headlong to the ground, and then their bodies continue to twitch, and finally stop all struggle

On the mortar position, Dr. Chen observed everything on the other side with a blank face, and recorded the most detailed data. He needed this data, and with them, he could further improve the power of the poison gas.

Cattle and sheep have been tested many times before, but in Dr. Chen's opinion, cattle and sheep are completely different from real people.

An officer who came to the battlefield with Dr. Chen kept photographing these "General Kolchak's Guards" wearing White Guard uniforms

Dr. Chen nodded in satisfaction as all the shells were fired, and then he made a gesture as his men quickly began to gather in an orderly manner.

"In about an hour, you'll be ready to attack." Dr. Chan looked at the table below and said, "The resistance you encounter will be very low!" ”

Li Jinglin, who had witnessed everything terrifying, only nodded numbly.

Mom, what is this? How is it that in the blink of an eye, so many enemies on the opposite side have died?

Now Li Jinglin is a little lucky, fortunately Yu Shuai took refuge in the Nationalist Government early, otherwise they would have used these to deal with their Northeast Army?

For Dr. Chen, it was just a simple experiment.

He doesn't care how many people died.

Such tests will be carried out several times in the Russian theater, but the scale will be controlled within a certain range. The purpose of their visit this time was only to test the power of poison gas on the real battlefield.

With the most detailed data, some of the shortcomings of the gas attack can be quickly corrected.

Dr. Chan took his men with him, and the rest was left to the professional soldiers.

Dr. Chen gave an explanation, but this was still not completely reassuring to Li Jinglin, and he waited for an additional half hour before ordering his 11th Division to attack the opposite position.

The Russians on the ground were still resisting, but they were already very weak.

It didn't take much effort for Li Jinglin's troops to rush into the position, but the scene that appeared in front of them made these soldiers unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Countless Russians have died, and they must have been full of pain before they died, and their various postures speak for themselves.

Those who survived by luck were almost half lives left, and they could not even raise their bayonets and rush into the position of the enemy desperately.

Brigade Commander Sisfulov also died, and it is not known whether he died under the gas attack or in the face of the attack.

Anyway, he's dead.

He had worked hard for three days to command his officers and men on the "Z position", and had just received reinforcements from a regiment, when the enemy's poison gas attack began without warning.

Maybe he didn't want to die.

But in any case, the Chinese managed to capture the "Z position" and annihilate the strength of one of the enemy's brigades.

And this is also the first big victory of the Chinese in the battle of Kdunsnoyarsk!
