Chapter 641: Survive or Destroy

In the dim space, only an oil lamp emitted a faint yellow glow, illuminating the small room dimly, and in front of Vasilevsky was a very luxurious table, and he sat in front of it. The heavy birch table and chair in front of him were carved with intricate patterns, showing a taste of grandeur, but when paired with the shabby walls and arrangements around him, there was an indescribable weirdness.

There was a bottle of ink on the table carved with a complex pattern, a pen was inserted on it, and only a telegram was placed on the wide table, looking at this thin telegram draft, Vasilevsky's eyes revealed a look of despair, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

The Southeastern Front has been trapped in Nizhny Udinsk for three weeks, and in the past three months, the Southeastern Front has been slowly compressed by the Chinese Army into a narrow strip of 80 kilometers long and more than 40 kilometers wide centered on Lower Uginsk. With the further compression of the outflanking circle, the Soviet army has fallen into the realm of running out of ammunition and food.

They lacked supplies, especially food, and could only eat one meal a day, all the soldiers were hungry, and a large number of wounded soldiers died every day because of lack of medical care. The situation has reached a very serious level, and a lot of the small weapons and ammunition that were originally lost on the way to break through the siege, and the rest was almost consumed in several breakouts. Faced with such a situation, Huaxia Levsky said in a telegram sent to Moscow: "Our army has lost its combat effectiveness, all ammunition has been consumed, there is no medicine, there is no food, and the Huaxia people can completely destroy the besieged Red Army officers and men without much effort by initiating a small charge. Today, the Supreme High Command finally gave an answer.

"Tuk tuk tuk ......" A few soft knocks came in the door.

"Wife!"

"Comrade Commander, it's time for you to eat." A major in a dusty military uniform stood in the doorway with a tray with two potatoes and a glass of water.

Vasilevsky sighed lightly and waved his hand slightly: "I'm not hungry, you take out the tools and give them to the wounded to eat." ”

The major was anxious and argued: "But, comrade commander, you haven't eaten tools for a day!" Vasilevsky frowned and raised his voice a few degrees, "I said that I am not hungry, take these two potatoes and distribute them to the wounded comrades, they need it more than me!" Seeing that Huaxialevsky was angry, the major did not dare to defend himself, so he had to walk out with a plate.

Not long after the major left, several generals of the Southeast Front Army walked in together, and the commander of the 31st Group Army, General Liaski, said with a solemn expression: "Comrade commander, our situation has reached a life-and-death juncture, if there are no more reinforcements and supplies, we are only expected to be wiped out by the whole army. "Moscow has already sent us a telegram, see for yourselves." Vasirevsky's heart felt indescribably bitter, and he grabbed the draft of the telegram on the table and handed it to Lieutenant General Liaski.

Admiral Liarsky read it out word by word: "Since Moscow is not allowed to give you any help in the war in the Far East, but here I want to say that there have always been only the Red Army that died in battle, and there was no surrender of the Soviet Russian Red Army, so we must not promise that your request for surrender will only make your family ashamed, and the Soviet Russian government will never accept such humiliation." Instead of letting the brave Red Army soldiers endure humiliation and steal their lives like this, it is better to let them die in glory in battle, this is the final destination of a soldier! 、,

"It's a fart!" After reading the telegram, the generals shouted.

"Such an order must never be carried out."

"Moscow is trying to push us into the fire pit!" "Why don't the people in the command fight to the death with us!"

The generals were stunned when they saw this desperate telegram, you must know that there are more than 600,000 Soviet Russian Red Army soldiers in the outflanking circle, and Moscow will easily send them all to hell with the phrase "glorious death in battle"?

The voices of the crowd made Vasilevsky's head loud, and he stood up sharply and shouted: "Well, my comrades generals, this is an order from Moscow, a telegram from Comrade Stalin, do you want to bear the charge of a traitor?" ”

The crowd was silent, and Stalin's reputation in Soviet Russia was so prominent that no Russian general or official dared to disobey his orders.

For a long time, a lowered but resolute voice came out of the crowd: "But no one can let 600,000 soldiers of the Soviet Russian Red Army die in vain, not even Comrade Stalin!" The shocked crowd looked back and saw that the voice was made by a major general in the crowd.

"Comrade Manchevsky, are you crazy? How dare you say that, if you let those people hear you'll be shot! Admiral Liaschi rushed in front of the major general and shouted in a low voice.

Major General Manchevsky laughed miserably: "Comrade Liasky, you still can't see the situation clearly? The Lous are finished, and the Southeast Front is finished. Who still has the leisure to take care of the affairs of our people, I'm afraid those political commissars also have a few leaflets dropped by the Chinese people in their arms, those bastards in the command only know that we will die in battle with honor, they are standing and talking without backache, let them come here and try to stay for a few days, they will know.

Is it fair that a large number of wounded in my army die tragically every day because they have no character, but those old men are still clamoring for a glorious death? Comrade commander, go down and take a look, if I hadn't sent the guard battalion down to press everywhere, I'm afraid the soldiers would have made a fuss a long time ago, we have to drag it out any longer, surrender! Manchevsky's words resonated with everyone, yes, the original 1.5 million Southeast Front is now 600,000 left, but Moscow still wants them to die, is their lives so worthless?

Everyone's eyes fell on Vasilevsky, the commander, and the life and death of the 600,000-strong army depended on his thoughts. For Vasilevsky and the generals of Soviet Russia, surrender is not an unacceptable thing, just like Marshal Timosinger, who surrendered to the Chinese a few years ago, is not also living well in Chita? As for Admiral Andlupf, who surrendered to the Huaxia earlier, the two are now even more remarkable, both of them have become the bosses of the railway construction company, and they have eaten and drunk spicy food in China. You must know that in order to shock the morale of the Soviet soldiers, many typical examples were written on the Chinese propaganda leaflets, so they didn't know about it.

"Let me think about it again. Vasilevsky only felt an indescribable bitterness welling up in his heart, he had sneered and cursed Marshal Timosinger who surrendered to the Chinese and the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops under his command before, but when it was his turn on this day, he finally understood the complicated feelings of his predecessor at that time......

The endless field was littered with wrecked trucks and tanks, some of whose wreckage was still burning with flames, and flames were bursting out of the cars from time to time. The same sight could be seen by all the F-FDTL soldiers sitting in the trucks with their upper bodies and different faces, although they were only watching in silence, and they all knew that in many places where they could not see, countless herds of corpses were scattered among the wheat fields in the fields.

But on the field are more abandoned Soviet Russian tanks, trucks and artillery, and on some personnel carriers, there are still lying on the corpses of Soviet soldiers, these are the Soviet troops who died under the impact of the attack aircraft of the Air Force, after losing air supremacy, they seem so powerless in the face of attacks from the sky.

"Bang dang!" Under the control of a somewhat restless tank driver, the 30-ton "Northwest Tiger" tank collided with an abandoned Soviet light tank, and when the tanks collided with each other, there was immediately a strange sound of metal twisting and breaking.

"Damn, Lao Maozi's tank can't help but fight, right, just hit it like this?" A soldier sitting in the truck said in surprise.

"That's Lao Maozi's light T26 tank, you have the ability to let the tank in front of you try to hit their Stalin heavy tank!" A veteran next to him scolded coldly, and the veterans didn't have a good impression of such a person who wantonly destroyed materials.

When the infantry team, a mixture of tanks, armored personnel carriers and trucks, came to a Soviet checkpoint in front of them, they saw a group of Soviet generals who were already standing in front of them.

The infantry finally stopped, and out of it came a general, the golden star on his shoulder confessing that he was a major general of the Wehrmacht.

The Soviet generals led by him greeted him, saluted and said calmly: "Vasilevsky, commander of the Southeast Front of the Russian Red Army, greets you and wishes you good health." Major General Wang Dayong, commander of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Chinese National Defense Forces, was ordered to come to accept the surrender of your army, Marshal Vasilevsky, are you ready. Hearing this, Vasilevsky smiled bitterly and said, "What else is there to prepare, does such a simple thing as surrender still need to be prepared?" Wang Dayong gave him a long look, and said meaningfully: "Some tools you don't prepare will be in trouble, I hope you can understand some of our practices at that time......" @
