The Russian Red Army's Middle Road Campaign clustered around the headquarters of the town of Sagagang was already an apocalyptic scene. The Red Cavalry Corps, which formed the Eastern Road Campaign Cluster, was historically the cradle of Soviet Red Army generals, not only because they were Stalin's descendants, but also because of their outstanding exploits in the Civil War and the Soviet-Polish War. In this war, they also played the most crucial role for a time, and used a long-range attack of more than 1,300 kilometers to establish the victory of the Battle of Chita. But the rest of the war unexpectedly turned into a nightmare, and before waking up, there were only deeper and more terrifying dreams!

First of all, he encountered the powerful Japanese cavalry on the Hulunbuir grassland, and suffered two fiascos that were almost completely annihilated, and lost a quarter of the cavalry combat power of the 300th Trapped Beast Battle at the cost of a monthly ticket. However, this was the beginning of a nightmare, and in the ensuing battle, although they did not suffer any more losses in the formation, they suffered heavy losses in frequent contact with the Japanese cavalry. On 5 November, they were again used as infantry and were sent to dig trenches in the snowfields west of Harigan Tusumu to keep out the Japanese forces breaking through from the west.

As a result, on November 8, they were waiting for the Wehrmacht from the east, and their cavalry was inferior to the infantry of the Red Army's Fifth Army in front of the heavy artillery, machine guns, and assault infantry of the Chinese, and they lost their positions after less than 12 hours and began to flee with the remnants of the Fifth Army. However, their four legs were faster than the two legs of the infantry, and they did not suffer much loss on the way back. Originally, they could have run back to Manchuria to regroup, but on November 10, after they retreated to the town of Sagagang, they received an order to hold on and wait for death.

Indeed, they had waited for death, and on the way to retreat, they had lost most of their baggage and all their artillery, and now only rifles and machine guns remained, as well as a few bullets and enough food for two or three days. As for the 300th Battle of the Trapped Beasts, the Fifth Army, which was a few hours later than them, was even more miserable, the group army that once had nearly 80,000 officers and soldiers was only 30,000 or a few thousand men, and two-thirds of them were bare-handed. As for the heavy weapons and baggage, they have long been lost, and there are not even a few machine guns. Everyone could see that such an army was not capable of fighting, so Voroshilov, after consulting the Military Council of the Eastern Front, mixed the units of the Fifth Army with the First Cavalry Army. A new horseless (all slaughtered for rations) Red Cavalry Corps was formed. Then they were deployed on the snowfields around the town of Sagagang, barely forming a circular defensive line, desperately waiting for the moment when their entire army would be annihilated!

The revisionist army did not keep them waiting long, on the day of November 11. The position of the Red Cavalry Corps was attacked by the [Medium] ** team, which had superior strength and firepower! There was no artillery, not many machine guns, and no strong positions to defend, so the officers and men of the Red Army could only fill the enemy's sea of fire with their flesh and blood. The result, of course, was slaughtered by thousands! However, Voroshilov and Budyonny and others, who were like stones, still did not agree with any retreating Jianyì, and just blindly ordered the troops below to hold out until the last man was shot!

The soldiers of the Red Cavalry Corps, who had been turned into infantry, were driven by the commissars and security cadres to rush to the positions occupied by the Chinese troops, armed with rifles without bullets. It doesn't do anything other than the pieces that fall into the snow and dye the white snow fields red. It was such a battle, and it lasted less than 24 hours. Just an hour after the Great Mentor sent a morale-boosting telegram to the Red Cavalry Corps, the tens of thousands of Red Army troops gathered in an area of less than three square kilometers around the town of Sagagang began to lose organization.

As soon as it was dark, desperate Red Army soldiers began to retreat without permission from what they were holding on to what was called a position. At first, the political commissars and security cadres could still use the rifle and machine gun bullets in their hands to suppress it, but soon the Red Army soldiers, who had lost their minds, shot back! Political cadres at all levels sacrificed themselves in their posts one after another, followed by the most primitive survival of mankind defeated the lofty GC ideal, and the soldiers of the Red Cavalry Army soon lost the will to fight, and they scattered under the fierce attack of the [Medium] ** team.

And around the temporary headquarters of the Red Cavalry Corps, there were countless wounded and sick of the Red Army. There is no medicine at all. No food. There was not even a roof to shelter from the cold wind, only a few political cadres of the headquarters of the First Cavalry Army were mobilizing at the top of their voices, calling on the wounded of the Red Army who could still get weapons to climb out and join the battle! But the only answers were the cries of the wounded, the names of their loved ones and the voices of prayers. The name of Christ seems to have become the only spiritual sustenance for these desperate GC warriors at this time!

"Beloved Great Mentor Comrade Lenin, member of the Central Political Bureau of the Russian GCD. Members of the Military Committee of the Republic of the Revolution and the Military Committee of the Eastern Front. When you see this telegram. Tens of thousands of officers and men of the First Cavalry Group Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army have been laid to rest in the Hulunbuir steppe of the Mongolian Republic.

After more than 10 days of hard fighting, our 1st Cavalry Army has suffered all casualties. After a rough inspection. At present, the 4th Cavalry Division and the 6th Cavalry Division have been completely annihilated. The 14th Cavalry Division, the 16th Cavalry Division, and the artillery regiment temporarily attached to our unit have completely lost contact, and the whereabouts of Comrade Yakir and Comrade Kulik are unknown. At present, the only troops under the control of the group army headquarters are the remnants of the engineer and baggage units directly under the group army, the guard units of the group army headquarters, and some of the commanders, fighters, and wounded of the Red Army that have lost their formation. And there was a lack of ammunition supplies, there were no strong fortifications. The area under its control, but about one square kilometer around the headquarters, is currently under heavy shelling, and bullets are raining down around the headquarters, and the Red Army officers and men have suffered heavy casualties, and the entire army is about to be annihilated

In this battle, the First Cavalry Group Army of our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army failed to live up to the expectations of the party and the people, and although it inflicted heavy casualties on the revisionist aggressors, it was unable to block the enemy, who was ten times larger than ours, from the defensive line. Although the whole army of our group army has shed all their blood and made the greatest sacrifices, it is still unable to make its due contribution to the cause of human liberation under the enemy's superior forces, and it is really a shame to trust the party Central Committee and the great mentor.

Now the revisionist enemy has attacked the vicinity of the army group headquarters. The personnel of the army group headquarters have already taken their weapons and are ready for the final battle, and we will fight until the last breath, determined to dye the red flag that will be planted all over the universe with all our blood and our whole lives!

Long live the great teacher Lenin! Long live the Russian GCD! Long live the Soviet Motherland! Long live the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army! ”

Voroshilov watched with his own eyes as the head of communications of the army group sent the last telegram to the command of the Eastern Front, which he had personally drafted. He smiled with satisfaction. The high-ranking officers of the Red Army gathered in the room looked like they were about to go crazy, some were crying, some were laughing. Others were chanting words with their eyes closed, presumably praying, and most of them had already changed into soldiers' clothes. Shells fell like cannonballs around the Sagagang Railway Station, the headquarters of the First Cavalry Army, and waves of gunpowder smoke and snow struck the most sturdy building in town.

Voroshilov's gaze swept around the room. grinned: "Comrades, the time has come to disperse and break through, I order you, you must not be taken prisoner!" If you really can't escape, you will commit suicide. All right. Let's go! ”

With that, Voroshilov got up, rushed out of the house with two guards, and disappeared into a cloud of gunfire. This political commissar of the group army, who promised Comrade Lenin that he would fight to the last breath, was finally lucky enough to escape to Manchuria, where he was arrested by the security department of the Eastern Front. Later he was released and worked as the director of a printing house in the Far Eastern republics, where he was arrested and executed in the 30s on charges of being a Stalinist!

Budyonny, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Army, was more fortunate in that he also fled to Manchuria and was also captured, but was pardoned for writing to Trotsky begging for mercy and returned to the army as commander and commander of a cavalry division. Finally, he retired as a lieutenant general in the cavalry.

It turned out that the commander of the Fifth Army, Yaquil, was even more lucky. He was a Trotskyite Jew who was also arrested in Manchuria, but was soon released and reinstated, and later became one of the first marshals of the Russian Red Army along with Ubolevich.

Because the National Defense Forces did not have a plan to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in Sao Gang Town. Thus, most of the officers and soldiers of the Red Army who abandoned their positions and fled on this night survived. According to post-war statistics, several Red Army groups northwest of Sagagang received a total of more than 20,000 defeated troops in the following two days. The later great writer Ostrovsky was one of them. In this battle, the Chinese National Defense Forces captured about a similar number of prisoners, and these prisoners caused a lot of trouble in the prisoner of war camps in the future.

Also on the 12th of November. On the snowfield, which is only a dozen kilometers away from the battlefield of Sagagang Town, the remnants of the Japanese Xianbeilian Dispatch Army have also reached the last moment. The remnants of the fifteen divisions of the Japanese army were mixed together in an area of no more than ten square kilometers. Randomly put out a circular defensive formation, in fact, it was more like hugging together and waiting for death. All around them were the troops of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Russian Red Army, and there were about 1780,000 men. If the besieged Japanese still had enough weapons and ammunition, they might be able to break out of the encirclement. However, now the Japanese army, which is close to running out of ammunition and food, no longer has the strength to come, and they can only dig trenches and resist desperately, trying to delay the moment when the end comes. The [China] National Defense Forces, which are waiting to advance westward, can rescue them before this!

The order in the encirclement was also the same as that of the Red Army in Sagagang, and it was a mess. ** 10,000 Japanese troops who still had combat effectiveness were mixed with 30,000 or 40,000 wounded men who lacked arms and legs, and 4,000 officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army of China were also with them, and they were placed in relatively safe areas. Probably "Japan" himself thought that even if the "China" National Defense Force would not care about the life or death of the "Japan" himself, he would not give up his own troops after all, and with these "China" people, they would have the possibility of survival here, right?

Although they could already see the hope of being rescued from the red sky in the southwest, before the Chinese people came, the Russian artillery was still recklessly harvesting the lives of the Japanese themselves. Presumably Stalin and Frunze had realized that the 1st Cavalry Army could not buy them time to destroy the Japanese Senbeilian Army, so the infantry offensive had largely ceased and turned to the heaviest artillery fire to kill as many Japanese forces as possible. At least hundreds of cannons and mortars roared at the same time, turning the entire encirclement into a huge corpse dump with broken human bodies everywhere. Every shell that falls can kill a dozen desperate Japanese soldiers!

At the gate of the Provisional Headquarters of the Simpelia Dispatch Army, in a small village in the center of the encirclement, a group of middle- and lower-ranking officers with blood-red eyes were crowded at this time. They were all in tattered uniforms, some of them were wounded, and it seemed that they were all people who had been fighting the front line for a long time. The most fanatical young officers in the Japanese army had come to ask for a final suicidal attack, and the nearly month-long days of fleeing and beating from Chita City had driven them crazy. In the eyes of these people, the ** team will not come to their rescue. Instead of starving to death in this encirclement or being killed by a cannonball that doesn't know when it will fall on your head, it is better to fight vigorously and pull it down!

"Your Royal Highness! Please don't hesitate any longer. Give the order to attack! Let us use our own blood to wash away the shame of defeat and wake up the people in our country! ”

"This time the empire will fall to this point because of the belief in the people of China! Let's use our death to make the people realize who the real enemy is! ”

"Let's fight! His Royal Highness the Prince. Rather than die like this, it is better to fight vigorously! The warriors of the empire are not afraid of death! ”

Listening to the words of these "day" devils, it seems that they are all desperate for death! These guys, who believe that they can become gods after death, are braver than the atheistic GC warriors in the face of death! However, their commander, Miya-jaehito, did not have the iron will of Stalin, and all he could think of at this time was to preserve the vitality of his army as much as possible.

This emperor's uncle's military uniform appeared neatly at the door of the headquarters. He was visibly emaciated, and he was also emaciated, his uniform looked empty on his body, and his back was a little hunched. But there was still a majestic look in his eyes, and he just glanced at everyone lightly, and those young Zhuang faction officers were silent.

"We haven't failed yet! The war has just begun! It's not yet time to kill yourself casually! Xianyuan Palace roared loudly: "Every qiē paid now is worth it, the lives of 200,000 imperial soldiers are exchanged for 400,000 square kilometers of territory in Far Eastern State!" This is the price we have to pay in order to get the Far Eastern State, and we have to pay to get it, and they have not got the Far Eastern State. Of course, you don't have to work as hard as we do. But I still believe that they will come before we are all destroyed. Because the headquarters has just received a telegram from the cavalry group, the "Chinese" national defense forces have already defeated the Soviet Russian Red Army blocking force in the area of Sao Gang Town! They'll be able to call in no time! ”

The scene fell silent for a moment, and then everyone suddenly found that the artillery of the Soviet Russian Red Army had stopped roaring! Suddenly, a young man in his thirties sat down on the ground and cried, and then all the young officers cried, not knowing if it was because of the rest of his life. Or are you mourning your dead comrades?

There seemed to be tears in the eyes of Xianyuan Gong Zairen: "Gentlemen, now is not the time to shed tears!" Because the war is not over yet! I order you to return to your respective forces. Hold your post and prepare to launch a pursuit operation against the retreating enemy forces. Avenge the fallen Imperial Army! Remember, in the next battle, you must save the lives of the Imperial Army as much as possible! Because our troops here, which are less than 100,000 people, are the seeds of a whole 15 standing divisions of the imperial army! ”

"Avenge the fallen soldiers!" There was a loud shout at the scene, and the young and strong officers of the Japanese army who were still in tears just now all ran in the direction of their troops with red eyes. Looking at their backs, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace sighed and muttered, "Heavy casualties! ”

"It's worth it, Your Royal Highness, the blood of the imperial army has not been shed in vain!" Otani Kikuzo didn't know when he appeared behind the Xianyuan Palace, and said lightly: "After this battle, the Far Eastern State is truly an imperial thing, and no one can take it away from us anymore." ”

"Really, not?" Xianyuan Palace looked back at his old buddy, and said with a wry smile: "After this war, the [China] country is no longer the original [China] country, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russians have given the [China] country a status that can be equal to the empire!" This is also the price for the empire to get the Far Eastern states, a new and powerful potential adversary! Ohtani-kun, do you still think that our efforts for the Far Eastern State are really worth it? ”

Otani Kikuzo was silent for a moment, but still nodded heavily: "Yes!" Your Royal Highness, if there is no such battle, China will still be a strong opponent! And the empire is likely to target its expansion at Manchuria, and then it will be a life-and-death battle between China and Japan, regardless of victory or defeat, the price that the empire will have to pay will exceed this war! Moreover, Soviet Russia will reap the benefits, which will be even more unfavorable for the empire. ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded silently, glanced at the sky in the southwest, and seemed to say to himself: "As long as the Far Eastern State is in the hands of the Empire, Soviet Russia will always regard the Empire as an enemy, in order to resist the behemoth of Soviet Russia, the Empire can only do everything possible to win over the [China" country, which is probably the price of the Empire to get the Far Eastern State, right?" ”……)！！！
