The words of the two commanders of the Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army made the other 7 commanders who escaped the mountain fortifications of the Dingbei Army suddenly change their faces, and 20 kilometers north of the camp, there was also a large force of the Dingbei Army, which means that they have just escaped from an encirclement of the Dingbei Army, and now they are not equal to being surrounded by the Dingbei Army!

And what's worse is that the supplies of Tegeda City were bombed by the Dingbei Army, and the railway line from Chita City to Tegeda City was also bombed by the Dingbei Army, so what kind of situation will their remnants of the Siberian Second Front Army face can be imagined, the 9 Russian army commanders looked at each other and saw a look of despair in each other's eyes, and then they fought hard and began to separate themselves to pacify their own bombed chaotic, organized and chaotic troops.

The nine commanders of the Russian army were busy until the middle of the night, and only then did they reluctantly reorganize the structure of their respective units, when they received an order from Commander Oleg to summon them, and they hurriedly dragged their tired bodies to the wooden house where Commander Oleg was located.

Oleg Lev's whole mental state was very bad, his beard was unkempt, and his face showed a gray color, and when he saw the nine remaining nine commanders of the Siberian Second Front, he asked in a hoarse voice: "How is the situation in the army?" ”

Chekryf, the commander of the 19th Army, said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, the situation is very bad, originally we had broken through about 170,000 people so far this morning, plus the 33rd Army, the 34th Army and the wounded soldiers in the camp, we were left with less than 250,000 people, but we were bombed by the Qing Dynasty's airships, and lost more than 30,000 people, and there were more than 10,000 wounded soldiers." To make matters worse, the Qing Dynasty's airships blew up some of the ammunition and food stored in our camp, so that we had more than 200,000 people left with enough food to eat for less than three days. ”

Oleg laughed miserably and said: "The situation should be clear to everyone, we can say that we fell into the trap carefully designed by the Dingbei Army, and now we are almost facing the realm of running out of ammunition and food, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”

The 9 commanders looked at each other, and no one spoke first for a long time, and they knew very well in their hearts that if they wanted to save their lives, there was only one way out.

Oleg saw that no one spoke for a long time, so he continued: "The current situation is very bad, we don't have to fantasize about any rescue of Vladivostok, even our Siberian Second Front itself is difficult to protect itself, we just break through the interception of the Northern Army 20 kilometers north of the camp, and return to the city of Tegda, more than 200,000 people still can't get any supplies." We have fallen into a desperate situation, even if we want to withdraw to the Siberian theater of operations, it has become impossible, for the sake of the lives of more than 200,000 Russians, I have decided to choose to surrender to the Dingbei Army, what is your opinion? ”

The 9 commanders of the Russian army here are relieved, the Europeans are not as contemptuous as the Orientals for surrender, for the troops of European countries facing the end of ammunition and food, choose to surrender to the enemy, will not be blamed in any way, now even the commanders of the front army have chosen to surrender, the other 9 commanders of the Russian army, in order to save their own lives, of course, will not object, so the commander of the Siberian Second Front and the only remaining 9 army commanders unanimously agreed to surrender to the Dingbei Army.

After that, Oleg sent cavalry with white flags to the mountain fortification group of the Dingbei Army overnight, and informed the Dingbei Army that the remnants of the main force of the Second Siberian Front Army were willing to choose to surrender unconditionally to the Dingbei Army under the condition that the Dingbei Army guaranteed the personal safety of the surrendered officers and soldiers and their personal property would not be confiscated.

The reason why Oleg was in such a hurry was that he was afraid that if time was delayed, the Qing Dynasty airships might fly over again tomorrow morning and throw bombs at their camp.

Oleg Lev's worries are not unreasonable, on the morning of March 11, just after dawn, the four airships of the Northeast Air Force Airship Unit in Hailan Pao, under the order of Commander Zhang Guoxin, began to load 100 kilograms of bombs on them, Zhang Guoxin is ready to continue bombing the Russian camp today, anyway, there are not many Russian air defense guns, and the threat to the airship has also been reduced to a very low level.

However, before the bombs of the airship were loaded, the commander of the 14th Division sent a telegram to Zhang Guoxin, who sighed after reading the telegram and said to his subordinates: "Tell everyone, don't waste your strength, don't load bombs on the airship!" ”

The captain of the large airship of the Venus next to him asked, "Lao Zhang, what's wrong?" Why didn't it blow up? ”

Zhang Guoxin showed a smile on his face at this time, and said with a laugh: "The Russian Second Siberian Front has surrendered to us!" "Victory! We're victorious! The 2nd Siberian Front of the Russian expedition surrendered! ”

"Haha! More than 700,000 Russian troops were wiped out by us, it's so enjoyable! It's so enjoyable! ”

"We annihilated more than 700,000 Russian troops with more than 100,000 people, and the final victory in this war must belong to us!"

"Victory! Victory! Long live the Dingbei Army! Long live the Air Force! Long live Lin Dashuai! ”

The place where the four airships docked instantly became a sea of joy, and the officers and men of the airships and the officers and men of the Hailanpao Independent Garrison Regiment of the Dingbei Army, who helped the airships load bombs, shouted excitedly.

Not only Hailan Bao, but also the officers and soldiers of Dingbei on the entire Svobodny front knew that the remnants of the Russian Second Siberian Front, under the leadership of its commander Oleg Lev, chose to surrender to the Dingbei Army, and they all couldn't suppress their excitement, jumped and jumped happily, and shouted all kinds of slogans.

As the commander of the entire Svobodny front, Yu Lichen received that Oleg was going to lead the remnants of the Russian army to surrender, and he was even more excited, he originally thought that the 18th Division, which was sent to 20 kilometers north of the Russian camp, wanted to block the remnants of the Russian army, and after a bloody battle, he was also considering whether to use airships to transport some troops to the 18th Division, but the 18th Division was still rushing to repair the fortifications and prepare for the fierce attack of the Russian army, but the remnants of the Russian army did not cooperate at all and chose to surrender directly.

However, the Russian army's non-cooperation made Yu Lichen ecstatic, but he still kept a clear head, in order to prevent the Russian army from making small moves, he sent the 38th Division and the 39th Division to the Russian army camp north of the mountain fortification group, and ordered the Russian army to go out of the camp to disarm. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Yu Lichen didn't want to fall for some tricks when the overall situation was decided, and put a little stain on the complete victory.

However, the remnants of the Russian Siberian Second Front Army had no intention of engaging in any tricks, they had been frightened by the Dingbei Army, and under the leadership of the commander Oleg Lev, they honestly walked out of the camp and handed over their weapons to the 38th and 39th Divisions of the Dingbei Army who came to the outside of the camp.

In the end, the commander of the Russian Second Siberian Front, the commander of the Russian Second Siberian Front, and the chief of staff and deputy commander of the Siberian Theater, came to Fu Qiang, the commander of the 38th Army of the Dingbei Army, and Guo Rui, the commander of the 39th Army, handed over his pistol and sword, and said with a wry smile: "I hope you will keep your promise and ensure that the personal safety and personal property of our surrendered Russian officers and soldiers will not be confiscated!" ”

Fu Qiang and Guo Rui heard the interpreter in the army next to them paraphrase Oleglev, and nodded that there was no problem, the Dingbei Army was not a barbaric army like the Russians propagandized, they were a civilized army, and since they had agreed to surrender the Russian army, they would not go back on their word.

Oleg hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who came up with your plan for the Northern Army to encircle and annihilate our Second Siberian Front?" I admire this tactician and I hope to meet him. ”

Fu Qiang said with a smile: "This plan to encircle and annihilate you was personally formulated by us Lin Dashuai, as for whether you can meet our Dashuai, it's not for me to make a decision, but I will convey your request to Lin Dashuai!" ”

There is no need for Lin Daxin to tell his subordinates that the plan to encircle and annihilate the Second Siberian Front Army was come up with by his wife.

Oleg Lev sighed and said: "It is worthy of being called the military strongman of the Far East, and the tactics formulated this time can be called perfect, so that you can achieve the result of annihilating our army of more than 700,000 troops with only far less troops than ours, and I am not unjustly defeated!" ”

Thus, after less than 20 days, the Battle of Svobodne ended with a great victory of the Dingbei Army and the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the Russian Second Siberian Front.

Throughout the campaign, Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army invested 175,000 troops in 8 divisions, and used 4 airships of the Northeast Air Force to cooperate. The Russian army invested more than 780,000 people in 25 armies, including 10 heavy artillery divisions and 1 tank armored division equipped with 100 heavy steam tanks and 200 armored vehicles.

In the end, at the cost of 23,000 killed and more than 10,000 wounded, the Dingbei Army annihilated the 720,000 army of the Siberian Second Front, and only the two armies that had been guarding the rear supply line escaped the fate of annihilation.

Of the 720,000 people of the Second Siberian Front, 380,000 were killed in battle, 340,000 surrendered to the Dingbei Army, and a large number of senior Russian officers, including Oleg Lev, commander of the Russian Second Siberian Front, became prisoners of war of the Dingbei Army.

In addition, the Dingbei Army captured more than 2,000 large and small artillery pieces, more than 500,000 rifles, most of which were old-fashioned Russian single-shot rifles, more than 240 old-fashioned Makqin heavy machine guns, more than 50,000 horses, and more than 20,000 Russian civilians also entered the prisoner of war camps of the Dingbei Army.

At this point, the Second Front Army formed by the Russian Siberian Theater of Operations was almost wiped out, and the Russians' plan to rescue Vladivostok came to naught, and the balance of victory in this war was more and more tilted in favor of Lin Daxin. R1152
