Early morning November 13, 1919.

The sky gradually brightened, and an airplane of the Air Force Corps of the National Defense Force rushed into the sky again in the morning glow, flying in the direction of Manchuria in the west. Under the plane, the battlefield where the two sides were fighting had gradually calmed down. Looking down from the plane, Captain Luo Yaoguo saw a scene that he will never forget, tens of thousands of Red Army prisoners in tattered yellow-green military uniforms, lined up in a long line, escorted by Wehrmacht cavalry, slowly moving eastward on the snowfield.

They are probably the last remnants of the Red Cavalry Army, which once conquered most of Mongolia and traveled 1,300 kilometers to penetrate behind the Chinese and Japanese troops in Chita?

The plane circled in the air, and Captain Luo Yaoguo seemed to want to take a closer look at the 301st Prophet vs Mentor a scapegoat to support the once famous elite of the Red Army. Then he flew to the west alone to reconnoiter the situation of the main forces of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Russian Red Army, which was retreating in a hurry towards Manchuria.

The victory in the battle of Rigantu Sumu in Manchuria is already in the bag of the ** team! After defeating the 50,000 Red Army blocking troops around the town of Sagagang, the three armies of the National Defense Forces of China did not stop to recuperate, but immediately launched a new offensive to the west. However, in front of them, Tian Zhongzhong Guoshige, who had been worshiped as the god of war in the country of Japan, had already commanded his cavalry to act first. Of course, they were not stupid enough to go head-to-head with the three Soviet Russian armies, but played a big trick of outflanking and detouring, and went directly to the frozen Hulunbuir Lake, as if they wanted to go around the lake to the south of Manchuria to seize this small Sino-Russian border city.

This was originally just a bluff, and there was also an infantry division of the Red Army that had just arrived from Siberia on the front line of Manchuria and Trans-Baikalsk, and the Japanese cavalry in their early 10,000s could not be defeated in any case.

But at this time, the Eastern Front of the Red Army was already panicking. Since the "Minister" Stalin and below, the opinion is not the 301st Prophet vs Mentor a scapegoat begging for a monthly ticket. While scrambling to mobilize reserve troops from Siberia and the Far Eastern Republics, they are trying to maintain the situation in the western section of the Middle East Road. On the other hand, he is planning... Retreat, ready to abandon Manchuria and even Zabaikalsk, retreat to Chita to hold on. At the same time, he also sent an urgent telegram to the Military Council of the Republic of Moscow requesting the mobilization of more troops for the Eastern Front, and even proposed that the Red Army from Central Asia launch an attack on Xinjiang in order to force China to withdraw from the war. In addition, Moscow has tried to make contact with Japan to see if it can negotiate peace with Japan so that it can concentrate all its efforts on dealing with China. It's a bit of a rush to the doctor.

And these 10,000 or so Japanese cavalry who feinted towards Manchuria seemed to have become the last straw that broke Stalin's nerves. The actual supreme commander of the Eastern Front mistakenly thought that the Japanese cavalry would run long distances like the vannished Red Cavalry Army to copy his rear route, so he hurriedly issued an order to Frunze on the front line to immediately withdraw his troops back to Manchuria.

As a result, the army that was also in a panic in the near Jiuwan had not yet completed the transformation of attack and defense, and began to retreat, "and the Japanese troops who were originally besieged unexpectedly launched a counterattack at this time, and launched a counteroffensive together with the main force of the [Chinese] National Defense Force from the town of Sagagang. Immediately turned the retreat of the Red Army into a catastrophic rout.

Looking down from the plane piloted by Luo Yaoguo, the entire grassland in the northeast of Hulunbuir Lake. In addition to the crowd is the sea of fire. Wehrmacht artillery turned the rear guard positions of the Red Army into a sea of fire, behind which were weed assault infantry like a tide! There was also a fierce battle to the west of the Red Army's rearguard position, and the Japanese troops who had been trapped there had broken the Red Army's encirclement and were fighting with the retreating Red Army. Groups of scattered Red Army troops fled in panic. The Japanese aimed their main assault on the Red Army's heavy and artillery units, apparently trying to replenish themselves by robbing them of artillery supplies.

The roads on both sides of the Middle East Road were full of abandoned Red Army heavy artillery and heavy vehicles, as well as Red Army infantry and cavalry desperately fleeing, only a small number of the most elite troops did not collapse, and they were still desperately resisting the surging troops of China and Japan. Maybe they want to hold out until dark and win a chance for the main force to retreat, right?

At this time, in the former enemy headquarters of the Eastern Front at the Zaguinor railway station, there was an atmosphere of extreme tension. Commander Frunze was already sweating profusely. And the political commissar Skryansky sat in front of the map table in a daze. All sorts of bad news are flying like snowflakes, either the troops are surrounded, or the key rearguard positions have been breached, and the entire front army is already showing signs of collapse!

This front army is the pillar of force of Soviet Russia in the Far East, Siberia, Mongolia and other places! And it is also concentrated with half of the total number of various artillery pieces currently in the possession of the Red Army! Once lost, with the current situation of heavy industry in Soviet Russia, I really don't know when it will be replenished!

Without a sufficient number of heavy firearms, even if Moscow could find enough infantry to replenish the Eastern Front, it would not be able to restore the combat effectiveness of the Fù Front. Not to mention, the current losses are all veterans who have fought in world wars and civil wars, and they cannot be replaced by strong men who are casually pulled!

A group of "military experts" who served as staff officers under Frunze argued loudly for a while,

There seems to be a consensus. A staff officer in his fifties, who did not look like a working person, suddenly shouted at Frunze: "Comrade commander, the battle has been lost. / The only thing that can be fought for now is to preserve the main forces of the front army as much as possible, and even if they are forced to withdraw from Manchuria and Mongolia, they can continue to fight the enemy in the Far East! In order to maintain their strength, the troops on the front line, which were entangled with the enemy, had to give up, and the heavy weapons and rice weight had to be abandoned, and the whole army moved lightly to Abagaitu and then to Krasnokamensk. ”

Both Frunze and Skryansky were stunned when they heard this: "Abagatu is a hilly area in Russia, but it is relatively easy to hold on" and that Abagatu is only a river away from Zagnoor, and now that the river is frozen, it is not difficult to retreat to Abagatu. However, once the main forces of the Eastern Front retreated north into the Abagathu Mountains, Manchuria and Zabaikalsk would have no troops. The Medium ** team could capture it at any time, and even advance towards Chita!

"Comrade Commander! Retreating to Abba in order to preserve the strength of the front army to the maximum.

Because the pursuit direction of the Chinese and Japanese armies was to the west, and the west was grassland, it was conducive to the use of the enemy's superior forces. To the north, Abagatu is mountainous and more defensive. Another elderly "military expert" also chimed in: "Now that we have been defeated, we can no longer hope to continue to keep our forces in Manchuria, and the troops in Manchuria and Zabaikalsk should immediately withdraw back to Chita." The next battle will take place on the land of the Far Eastern Republic! ”

Skryansky looked at Frunze, who nodded slightly: "It seems that this can only be the case, now the entire line of defense has been broken through, and the troops are in disarray" There are huge casualties. According to the basic principles of military science, it is necessary to shrink the retreat and choose the appropriate terrain to build a new line of defense. And this new line of defense can only be Abagaitu, and it cannot be Manchuria, which is unsafe to defend. ”

Skryansky frowned: "But Comrade Stalin ordered us to retreat to Manchuria and Zabaikalsk to set up defenses. ”

"It's not feasible!" Frunze stood up, tapped his fingers on the map of Abagatu and Krasnokamensk, and said: "There are no troops defending there, if we deploy the main forces in Manchuria and Zabaikalsk, the Chinese will take the opportunity to occupy there, and then cut off the communication between Zabaikal and Amur provinces all the way north...... Now that the initiative of the war has shifted to the hands of the Chinese people, we are passively defensive. He paused for a moment, and then added: "As for Comrade Stalin's dissenting opinion, I think it is better to report directly to the Military Council of the Republic's Revolutionary Order!"

We should also report to the Bureau of Political Affairs a series of Stalin's erroneous decisions, "and at the same time review our mistakes in this battle and ask for organizational punishment!" ”

After saying this, Frunze looked at Skryansky expectantly. Skryansky, however, showed a look of pity and sighed softly: "Comrade Stalin is a rare talent of our party, although he is a little rude and does not listen to different opinions, but he is still loyal to the party and to Comrade Lenin. We can't put all the blame for the defeat on him, I am the chairman of the Military Committee of the Eastern Front, and I will also bear a certain amount of responsibility. ”

"We are all responsible, but Comrade Stalin's responsibility is the main one! He is the one who makes the last decision in the military! Moreover, despite the opposition of his comrades, he arrested Comrade Ubolevich, who had raised a different opinion, and the normal military decision-making mechanism of the Eastern Front had been completely destroyed by him! ”

Frunze's words were filled with righteous indignation: "It seems that this defeat was caused by Stalin's mistakes." But everyone in this war room knew that Frunze was wagging his tail and begging for mercy from the Trotskyites! Skryansky was a member of Trotsky's Jewish gang, while Frunze was Lenin's confidant and was close to Stalin.

The current crushing defeat of the Red Army on the Eastern Front proves that Lenin's line of "uniting Japan to contain China and first striking at revisionism" is wrong! Since Lenin's side carried out the wrong line, it was necessary to pay the price" to throw a few scapegoats to preserve Lenin's prestige and position.

To put it bluntly, Comrade Lenin's scriptures are good scriptures, and they are all read bad by Stalin, Frunze, and a few crooked-mouthed monks! But Frunze now did not want to be a crooked monk, at least he would not take the main responsibility for preserving Stalin. But Frunze also knew that Stalin was a member of the Political Bureau, and he was much more important to Lenin than he was! So Lenin's first choice was to sacrifice him to protect Stalin.

But Frunze was not willing to play the role of a sinner for the cause of GCISM, the Moscow "Kremlin."

In a long, low-roofed, dimly lit room, with a row of military maps of the battlefields of Silou and the Eastern Front hung on the wall, Lenin sat at one end of a teak conference table. In front of him lay a stack of papers, the top of which was a telegram from Skryansky and Frunze reporting on the situation on the Eastern Front and reflecting Stalin's mistakes.

Trotsky, Kamenev, and Krestinsky, members of the Russian Gzy Political Bureau, Kalinin, chairman of the Committee for the Martyrs of Soviet Russia (equivalent to the head of state), Zinoviev, chairman of the International Executive Committee of the GC, Vatsettis, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic, and Dzerzhinsky, head of the All-Russian Committee for the Suppression of Counter-Rebellion, sat around the conference table, all looking at the great mentor with gloomy faces.

Lenin's eyes flashed, and he took the expressions of the crowd into his eyes, and a sad expression appeared on his face: "Now it seems" that Comrade Stalin has betrayed the trust of the party and the people. When he led the Red Army on the Eastern Front, he made the mistake of left-leaning blind activism, which caused heavy losses to the Red Army and caused the Eastern Front to fall into a passive ...... Until his mistakes are fully understood and examined, Comrade Stalin is no longer fit to hold important leadership posts. I dismissed him as a member of the Russian Political Bureau and transferred him back to Moscow as People's Commissar of the Railway. What do you think, comrades? ”

The intention of supporting Stalin in his rhetoric is quite obvious, and the crime he charged Stalin with is also left-leaning blind activism, and several people here know that left-leaning is in the GCD

It's not a strict mistake at all, and if it is changed to a right-leaning side, it is a sin that can kill people. Rather, Lenin only said that he was dismissed as a member of the Stalinist Political Bureau, but did not remove him as a member of the Central Committee, and also arranged for him to be a People's Commissar of the Railways.

After saying this, Lenin immediately gave Stalin's henchman Dzerzhinsky a wink. The head of the anti-rebellion committee immediately stood up and said loudly: "I think that Comrade Lenin's punishment of Comrade Stalin is appropriate, and Comrade Stalin has indeed been a little rude in his work, and there are also a little signs of going too far to the left, and it needs to be carefully examined. ”

Lenin nodded, and then turned his gaze to Trotsky. Trotsky nodded slightly, as if he approved of Lenin's decision. He was of course extremely cruel to the class enemy, but in the struggle within the party, he always had some soft-heartedness, otherwise he would not have lost to Stalin in history!

But before he could speak, his henchman Vatsettis stood up and raised his objection in a loud voice: "Comrade Lenin! Stalin's mistake plunged the entire Eastern Front into a crisis, costing the lives of at least 200,000 Red Army commanders and fighters and depriving us of the opportunity to recover the entire Far East. Such a mistake is not simply left-leaning blind activism, but a mistake of line! He made a stern mistake in the military struggle on the Eastern Front, and if we want to save the situation on the Eastern Front, we must thoroughly review the erroneous line carried out by Stalin! Follow the right route. ”

The wrong route is no joke! Not to mention the members of the committee, if you can keep your party membership, you will burn high incense. And wasn't the line that Stalin carried out the same as Lenin's? To review Stalin's erroneous line and not to burn the fire on Lenin? Thinking of Trotsky's great prestige in the Russian GCD and in the Red Army, no less than his own, Lenin already felt that his leadership was already shaky.

He looked at Trotsky with a wry smile and asked: "The line that Stalin carried out is my line, and if he made a mistake in the line, does it mean that I have also made a mistake in the line?" Should I also resign as a member of the Political Bureau and Chairman of the People's Committee? ”

This is actually a bit threatening, the Russian GCD was originally a partnership between the Trotskyites and the Leninists, and Lenin's resignation also means a split in the Russian GCD! This is not something that Soviet Russia, which is currently in a difficult situation at home and abroad, can afford.

The corners of Trotsky's mouth moved slightly, and he also showed a wry smile. He knew that if he wanted to hold on to the wrong route, the great mentor would have to be dismantled. He glanced at Vatsettis, who sat down silently.

Trotsky pondered: "Comrade Sta's mistake is not a mistake of line, but it is not left-leaning activism, but right-leaning opportunism...... Moreover, he was rather arbitrary in leading the military struggle on the Eastern Front, so much so that the Military Council of the Eastern Front became his hall. If this fault is not corrected, I think Comrade Stalin will not be fit for a leading position. ”

Lenin sighed: "Well, then remove Comrade Stalin from the Confucian Council and post Deputy People's Commissar of Railways." Trotsky nodded in agreement. Lenin went on to say: "After Comrade Stalin is no longer a member of the Political Bureau, the Political Bureau needs to elect a member in a by-election. I am the head of the GC International Executive Committee, Comrade Zinoviev. ”

As soon as his words fell, another Trotskyite cadre, Kzhistinsky, objected: "According to the party constitution, the members of the political bureau should be elected by the plenary session of the committee

The plenum chose one of the three comrades, Zinoviev, Dzerzhinsky and Vazetis. ”

Lenin's face sank again, and Krestinsky's Jianyì took him another army. The other side also included Dzerzhinsky, the head of the secret service in charge of the All-Russian Anti-Counterterrorism Committee, as a candidate for the commissariat of the Political Bureau,........., so that two candidates from his faction would definitely disperse the votes when they met to vote. If he didn't come forward to coordinate, the last person to be elected would have been Vatsettis! But how do you coordinate? There is only one seat for the members of the Political Bureau, who should it be given to?

While he was hesitating, Trotsky suddenly opened his mouth to relieve Lenin: "I think Comrade Vatsettis and Comrade Zinoviev should run for a seat in the Political Bureau." Comrade Dzerzhinsky was not fit to be a member of the Russian GCZY Political Bureau. Because he was the ideal leader of the Polish GCD and socialist Poland, once we had stabilized the war on the Eastern Front, it was time to set out to repel the Polish invading army and liberate the whole of Poland! Comrade Lenin, what do you think? ”！！！
