Chapter 297 Battle of the Trapped Beasts 11 Route Struggle for a Monthly Pass

I don't know since when the five members of the Soviet Russian GCD Political Bureau have the huge power to represent the Russian GCD, and the current Russia is a country where the GCD leads a qiē! The five of them (four of whom were later proven to be villains by the Soviet GCD itself) could represent the members of the GCD's Political Bureau, and the 100 million people of Soviet Russia as a whole, and as for the theoretical Supreme Soviet, the highest organ of state power, it was from the beginning a vase-gathered, somewhat similar to an institution of horticultural societies.

Now, four of the five members of the Political Bureau of the Russian Central Committee representing Soviet Russia - Lenin, Trotsky, Krestinsky, and Kamenev - are sitting together in Lenin's office. The four of them were divided into two factions, the 297th Battle of the Trapped Beasts, the 11th line of the struggle, and Kamenev was considered a faction, and if Stalin was here, he was also a supporter of Lenin. Trotsky and Krestinsky were of the other faction, and the two of them were pointing out to Lenin the question of the line of the Central Committee of the Russian GCD in the war and in its policy towards China!

Trotsky said eloquently: "The revisionist line pursued by the GCD in China is certainly wrong, but it is undeniable that their starting point is to build socialism and GCISM in China. Unlike Russia's national conditions, China is a backward semi-feudal and semi-capitalist country, and the proletariat's strength is too weak to undertake the work of leading the Chinese revolution, so the Chinese GCD does not have the strength to eliminate the Chinese bourgeoisie and the landlord class, and they can only adopt a policy of uniting the bourgeoisie to transform the landlord class. Before the victory of China's national revolution, we also supported this line.

However, when the Chinese GCD came up with a revisionist line of coexistence with the Chinese bourgeoisie, we adopted a resolute attitude of opposition, and we also tried to overthrow the Chinese Nationalist Government by means of war and eliminate the revisionist 297th Trapped Beast War 11th line in the Chinese GCD against the monthly voters and the Chinese Kuomintang. The result of this is to push China, which could have been our ally, to the side of imperialism and put us in the unfavorable position of being besieged by China, Japan, and Poland. ”

Lenin's face became more and more ugly when he heard these words, and when Trotsky said that he was "not in the shape of a bad thing". He finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Didn't the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army just win a heavy victory in the Battle of Chita? Moreover, the Eastern Front also surrounded more than 200,000 Japanese imperialist troops in Manchuria, and blocked the same number of revisionist reinforcements in that place called Harigan Tusumu! How can such a shape shì be said to be disadvantageous? ”

Trotsky looked coldly at the great mentor, who knew nothing about military affairs, through the glass lens, and whispered: "That is. The Eastern Front of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army is fighting with more than 400,000 imperialist and revisionist troops with more than 300,000 troops! And the place of the fighting is still in the revisionist home. Comrade Lenin, do you know how long the supply lines of the Eastern Front are? Do you know how difficult it is for us to supply supplies? ”

"Of course I do! I am the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Lenin said calmly: "But the Russian people are not trying to listen to your defeatist rhetoric by tightening their belts and bringing the only food they have to support the front!" ”

"This is not a defeatist statement, but a proposal to avoid failure! We should do our best to reach a rapprochement with the Chinese. In the East, our main enemy is Japanese imperialism, which occupies the states of the Far East! ”

Lenin glared: "Comrade Trotsky, weren't you in favor of the liberation of Mongolia at the beginning?" Mongolia is like an axe pressed against the soft belly of Soviet Russia, from where it is possible to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then our armies in the East will be isolated! ”

"Yes. I still think that we should control northern Mongolia to protect the Trans-Siberian Railway. ”

Lenin snorted coldly: "Then is it still possible for us to reconcile with Chinese revisionism?" ”

"Yes!" Trotsky looked at Lenin and emphasized: "We can negotiate with the Chinese Government on an equal footing and amicable basis to obtain some of the Mongolian territories we need." Of course, we should also pay the price for this part of the territory - a part of our Central Asian territory can be exchanged for Mongolian territory. ”

Lenin sneered: "Do you exchange the rich land at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains for the wasteland of Mongolia?" Comrade Trotsky, this is a betrayal of the interests of the Russian state! ”

Trotsky said: "Mongolia is a wasteland for China, a barrier to Siberia for Russia, a prerequisite for us to recover the lost territories in the Far East in the future!" Moreover, we can also strive to exchange less Central Asian land for more Mongolian land in the negotiations, and protect the interests of the Soviet motherland to the greatest extent, but protecting the interests of Soviet Russia is not the same as harming the interests of revisionist China! Comrade Lenin. We can no longer treat China as an object to be slaughtered at will. Their cousin in Harrigan Tusumu has proven that they are a great power that can deal with Russia on an equal footing! China's GCD is also a big party that can be on an equal footing with Russia's GCD! So they have the right to choose their own path. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a long silence in the office. After a long time, Lenin was heard taking a breath and saying: "I do not think that Chinese revisionism has become so strong that we may not have the strength to destroy them, but we can still deal them a heavy blow if we must reconcile with revisionism." It should also be reconciled after teaching them a hard lesson! Perhaps we can negotiate peace with Japan first, they have now suffered a heavy blow. If we allow Japan to occupy the Far Eastern states, they should be out of the war. Japan withdrew as soon as it withdrew. Chinese revisionism cannot be fought alone, and when the time comes, we can force them to agree to stand up. With that, he looked at Kamenev and Krestinsky: "What do you think? ”

Without hesitation, Kamenev exclaimed: "I support the opinion of Comrade Lenin!" ”

"I am against negotiating peace with Japanese imperialism!" Krestinsky objected almost simultaneously: "The Far East is the sacred territory of Russia, we have no right to give it up, and Mongolia belongs to the Chinese people, and we should not take it away either." And even more so not to give land belonging to the Russian people to Japan in exchange for the opportunity to seize land from the Chinese! ”

Lenin's face turned blue and white. Krestinsky was clearly in collusion with Trotsky! Since Stalin was not in Moscow, there was a 2-2 tie in the meeting of the Political Bureau. He glared at Krestinsky fiercely, and said coldly: "Since there is no way to make a decision at the meeting of the Political Bureau, I will convene an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau, and at the same time send a telegram to solicit Comrade Stalin's opinion. ”

Trotsky and Krestinsky glanced at each other, and both smiled imperceptibly. Of course, they could not defeat Lenin at an enlarged meeting of the political bureau. Lenin's prestige and henchmen far surpassed that of Trotsky. And there was also a key political commissar, Stalin, who supported Lenin. However, as soon as the decision to convene an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau was announced within the party, the differences between the lines of Trotsky and Lenin were made public.

Moreover, their differences will not be resolved by a majority vote, but will be decided by victory or defeat on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, which will be followed by what line the party will take! Trotsky was aware of the resolution of the enlarged meeting of the Russian GCD. It will not save the crisis on the Eastern Front. Even before the conclusion of the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau, the changes in the battlefield on the Eastern Front would prove that Lenin's line was the wrong one

If Lenin's line was wrong, wouldn't that prove that Trotsky's line was correct? Although such a mistake in line did not bring Lenin out of power, Stalin, who was specifically in charge of the war on the Eastern Front, was about to be ousted! And the Trotsky faction was probably able to include Stalin's political commissars

"Get on the bayonet! Assault! Kick out Soviet Russian imperialism! ”

The steppe of Harigan Tusumu resounded with a majestic slogan: "Long live China!" Come on! "Thousands of rifles with bayonets on them. Chinese revisionist officers and soldiers carrying grenades and explosives on their backs were bravely advancing towards the positions of the Russian Red Army. Behind them, hundreds of machine guns and mortars were firing frantically, and machine gun bullets and mortar shells were smashed into the Red Army positions in the distance as if they didn't want money.

In front of the charging revisionist fighters was a high wall of artillery fire, slowly pressing towards the positions of the Russian Red Army. Squadron ** in 1919. actually played this kind of Xu Jin barrage, which can be regarded as a big scene on the battlefield of the world war!

Through the wall of fire formed by artillery fire, the remaining Red officers and soldiers on the positions west of Harigan Tusumu were horrified to find that they seemed to have returned to the nightmare battlefield of the European War, and the soldiers of the German and Chinese armies, who did not know whether they were German or Chinese, were rushing towards them as if they were stepping on the smoke and flames of gunpowder.

Urgent telegrams and calls flowed to the headquarters of the Eastern Front and the command of the Middle East Road Campaign Cluster: "The revisionist army is attacking! The focus of the attack was on the center of our army's frontal position in Harigantusumu, which had been greatly damaged by enemy artillery fire and was in urgent need of reinforcements! Reinforcements are urgently needed! ”

At the same time, Voroshilov and Budyonny, who were supervising the battle in Khargantusumu, received a call from Stalin at the same time, and the voice came from the receiver as if they had eaten gunpowder: "Due to the dereliction of duty of the commander of the 14th Army, Ubolevich. The Japanese invading army besieged in Manchuria has broken through the blocking positions of our army on the Eastern Front! There are already signs of a breakthrough to the east. On behalf of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic and the Revolutionary Military Council of the Eastern Front, I order you to establish a second line of interdiction west of Harigantu Sumu. Stop the meeting of the Japanese invading army and the Chinese invading army at any cost! I want you to assure the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic that you will not abandon your position, even if you fight to the last breath! ”

Putting down the phone headset, Voroshilov and Budyonny glanced at each other, both with expressions of despair. They knew that Stalin's order was tantamount to a death sentence of nearly 100,000 soldiers of the nine divisions of the First Cavalry Army and the Fifth Army!

Budyonny touched his figure-eight mustache and looked at Voroshilov with a wry smile: "Oops. Now we can only let the Red Cavalry Army dig trenches to block the Japanese! This is blocking their way to escape! Is Comrade Stalin ready to sacrifice our two armies to annihilate the Japanese as well? It's a terrible errand this time."

Voroshilov shook his head: "It's not all Trotsky's fault!" Budyonny looked at him with a confused expression, and Voroshilov whispered: "Isn't that obvious? The enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau was about to discuss the question of the line of revolutionary struggle in the East, and Trotsky's line of reconciliation with revisionism, although erroneous, was possible, because the northern part of Mongolia in China was still under our control. Xinjiang is also under our threat, and with these two chips in hand, the Chinese will definitely be willing to make peace.

However, it is not so easy to make peace with Japan, and we cannot reach the Far East at all, so we must make Japan painful before it is possible to negotiate peace! If the main force of the Japanese army in Manchuria is allowed to break through and escape, they will not make peace with us. Even if we agree to make peace, the asking price we put forward is beyond our reach. In this way, there is no way to implement the correct line put forward by Comrade Lenin of temporarily making peace with Japan and concentrating forces on dealing with revisionism. And a route that simply cannot be implemented. How can it be said that it is the right route? Isn't Comrade Lenin about to make a mistake in line? The wrong route is a pretty serious problem! ”

Hearing Voroshilov bring the topic to the struggle for the line, Budyonny stopped squeaking. The struggle for the party's internal line is a matter that will kill people if it is not done well, and he is just a "military expert." It is better to have less trouble in this kind of troubled water

1919 year. November 5th.

The fighting has become more and more fierce on the western section of the Middle East Road. On the front line of Manchuria, the Manchuria Campaign Cluster, composed of the Red Army's Sixth Army, Seventh Army, Fourteenth Army, and Fifteenth Army, has fallen into the most difficult and bitter battle. Due to the "erroneous" decision of the former commander-in-chief of the campaign group, Ubolevich, the Japanese army in Manchuria had broken through the blocking line of the Red Army in the east of Manchuria and opened the passage to Harigan Tusumu after paying a heavy price.

And Stalin, after learning about Ubolevich's crimes of dereliction of duty. He was immediately dismissed from his post and instructed the Revolutionary Military Council of the Eastern Front to arrest him! Had it not been for the timely order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic to send Ubolevich safely to Moscow, the young military strategist would have probably been executed by order of Stalin!

After dismissing Ubolevich from his post, Stalin gave an unequivocal death order to Frunze, who personally commanded the operation: the Manchuria Campaign Group must continue to launch a resolute offensive against the Japanese army with its existing forces, and deal as many devastating blows as possible! At the same time, it is also necessary to mobilize a strong force to seize the front line of Zhainuoer east of Manchuria at any cost, and establish a new line of defense to block the attack.

This is indeed a rather arduous task for the Manchuria campaign cluster, which has been fighting hard for many days and has suffered more than 50,000 casualties. If according to the original deployment of Ubolevich. Adopt the tactics of arranging and pursuing the enemy. Although it was impossible to annihilate the living forces of the Japanese army in large numbers, victory was always guaranteed. But Stalin's order was to cut off the lives of nearly 200,000 Japanese devils who had just seen some hope! It was as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest, and the 15 Japanese divisions in Manchuria, as well as the remaining units of the infantry division of the Northeast Chinese Army, all fought desperately like crazy, and even repelled the enemy in front of them. In order to get a glimmer of life!

The sound of artillery echoed over the steppes east of Manchuria. The hastily arranged positions around the Zalainuoer railway station were full of columns of smoke rising high and low. The Japanese mountain artillery was placed less than three kilometers in front of the Red Army position. Desperately pouring shells on the positions of the Red Army. The 18th Division, to which the Red Army's Sixth Army belonged, arrived only an hour earlier than the Japanese army, and before it could build decent field fortifications, it became a group with the Japanese troops who attacked later. The Japanese army took out the strength of four infantry wings and two artillery wings. Repeatedly attacked here, but was repelled again and again by more than 10,000 Red officers and soldiers guarding here. The snowfields around the positions of the Red Army were littered with the yellow corpses of Japanese soldiers, and everywhere there were traces of fierce battles. The hastily built field fortifications had long since been leveled, and the Red Army soldiers put up a desperate resistance, almost relying on the craters and the ruins of the buildings around the Zalainoer railway station!

Lieutenant General Koikeyasu, commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, also braved the artillery fire and personally went to the front line, lying in a bomb crater and holding a telescope to carefully observe the situation on the battlefield. The fierce fighting for many days had already made the lieutenant general black and thin, and even his military uniform was a little shabby and dirty. This crater was slightly modified, and it became his former enemy headquarters, and several staff officers who were also a little haggard to look at him crouched behind him, waiting for orders from His Excellency the division commander at any time. This kind of scene is probably unique in the history of the Japanese Army, right? But at this point in the battle, he has long been unable to care about any dignity and rank, and at this time, Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace is sitting in the division headquarters of the Sixth Division to supervise the battle. As one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese army, the 6th Division is now tasked with opening the way for the 200,000-strong army, and Prince Kanyuan Palace has given a death order that if he cannot capture Zarai Nuoer before the end of November 5, he will ask the division commander, Lieutenant General Koikeyasu, to apologize!!!
