In the south of the mountain fortification group, more than 120,000 Russian troops who did not break through fell into a very big predicament, if they did not continue to break through, they would have a problem with more than 100,000 people even eating, but the breakthrough will be met by the fierce artillery fire of the Dingbei Army and the strafing of countless light and heavy machine guns on the mountain fortifications on both sides of the road, which made the Russian army of more than 120,000 people only the remaining 3 army commanders very entangled, and finally the three people discussed, or organize another unit to break through from the road in the middle of the mountain fortification group, to see if there is any hope of breaking through.

But these Russian troops in the south of the mountain fortification group have seen with their own eyes the firepower of the artillery of the Dingbei Army and the powerful firepower of the pillboxes and bunkers of the Dingbei Army on the mountain fortifications on both sides of the road, and no one is willing to send them to death, and the 120,000 Russian troops have removed 20,000 wounded soldiers, and the remaining 100,000 people are also chaotic, and after the order of the three army commanders was issued at about 9 o'clock in the morning, until 10 o'clock in the morning, the troops who broke through the encirclement did not move.

The commander of the Russian 61st Army, Partoliev, said angrily to one division commander: "What the hell is going on with your division? Is it true that after the death of your commander, your division will not obey orders? The three army commanders asked the division commander to lead his division to break through from the road in the middle of the mountain fortifications, but one hour passed, and the division still did not move, so the three army commanders sent someone to find him.

The division commander said with a wry smile: "It's not that his subordinates don't listen to orders, it's really that the establishment has been messed up, I've been together for a long time now, and I have only found less than 600 people in total, and just this point of people rushing over is to send them to death!" ”

The commander of the 62nd Army, Moharnosky, reluctantly said to the other two army commanders: "It seems that it must be temporarily reorganized, otherwise more than 100,000 people will be in a mess, and we don't want to rush over the mountain fortifications." ”

Lazarievich, the commander of the 79th Army, also nodded in agreement and said: "Our organization is indeed chaotic, should we temporarily reorganize, and there are still 30,000 people in the artillery?" Reorganize them too, they, as Russians, have come to the point when they must contribute to the Russian Empire! ”

After Lazaryevich finished speaking, he looked at the other 2 army commanders strangely, and these 2 army commanders heard what he meant from Lazarievich's words, and the two hesitated, then nodded.

On the other side of the mountain fortification group, the Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army have been launching attacks on the 137th and 138th heights in turn, hoping to draw the strength of the Northern Army so that the more than 100,000 troops south of the mountain fortification group can break through from the middle road and withdraw to the north of the mountain fortification group.

However, because the two armies had no artillery support, and the Dingbei Army on the 137th and 138th heights was very strong, the two armies suffered heavy losses, and the troops on the other side they wanted to save did not move at all, so the commander of the two armies ordered to stop this senseless attack.

The Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army discussed, they could only wait for the Russian army on the other side to move, and then they launched an attack on the 137th and 138th heights, otherwise the attack of the two armies almost sending soldiers to death would become useless.

The Russian troops south of the mountain fortification group did not complete a rough temporary reorganization until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the three Russian army commanders sent a force to forcibly break through the road in the middle of the mountain fortification group, and this force turned out to be a temporary team of 10,000 Russian people.

These Russian men knew that they should break through to the road covered with corpses, and they did not agree at all, but the three commanders of the Russian army had already prepared, and directly sent their Russian officers and soldiers to shoot nearly 100 Russian people, telling them that it was time to serve His Majesty the Tsar, and if anyone dared not serve His Majesty the Tsar, he would be shot immediately, and his family would be punished in the future.

In addition, now that more than 100,000 of them have fallen into a desperate situation, they will all have to pass the road of death in the end, only sooner or later.

The 10,000 Russian soldiers had no choice but to rush towards the road in the middle of the mountain fortifications with empty hands, and behind them were Russian soldiers who put out a row of heavy old Makqin heavy machine guns, and then the Dingbei officers and soldiers guarding the mountain fortifications did not matter whether you were soldiers or civilians, and immediately fierce artillery fire and rainstorm bullets enveloped these unarmed Russian people.

After a while, these Russian men could not bear this kind of death-like breakthrough, and retreated, the three Russian commanders looked at each other, and did not order the Makqin heavy machine gun behind the people to fire, they sent these Russian men just to test whether it was possible to break through from the road in the middle of the mountain fortifications, and now seeing the artillery fire of the Dingbei Army that has not weakened at all, and the dense bullet rain from the mountain fortifications on both sides of the road, the hearts of the three army commanders sank to the bottom.

Lazarievich, the commander of the 79th Army, said with a wry smile: "What should I do? With such a strong firepower, how can we rush through? It's no different from sending you to death! ”

The commander of the 62nd Army, Mohalnosky, hesitated for a moment and said: "Why don't we wait until the evening and launch a breakthrough with more than 100,000 people?" ”

The commander of the 61st Army, Partolyev, shook his head and said: "Didn't you see what happened last night? The shells and bullets of the Dingbei Army, whether you are an officer or a soldier, a military commander or a division commander, you can take a look with a telescope, what we can see on this road of death is that there are many corpses wearing generals' uniforms, I don't want to be one of them! Maybe there's the corpse of our Commander inside! ”

After listening to Partoliev's words, Lazarievich and Mokharnowski both wanted to speak for a while, and it was obvious that their hundreds of thousands of people had only one way left to survive.

Partoliev gritted his teeth and continued: "I think we have reached a desperate situation, the casualties of the original formation have been more than 50 percent, that is, we have reorganized a little, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has been weakened to the extreme, and there are not many rifle bullets in the hands of the soldiers, even if there is not enough food for us to hold out for 2 days, what is even more serious is that the artillery has run out of shells, and all the artillery has been discarded." We've done our best, but we can't save the game, I think...... In order not to waste the lives of hundreds of thousands of Russians in this breakthrough with no light in sight, we can choose to surrender with dignity! ”

Lazarievich and Mokhalnoski actually had this idea in their hearts, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Partoliev say it, human life is only once, and no one wants to die in vain in such a hopeless breakthrough.

Moharnoski nodded and said: "I agree with Commander Partoliev's construction, we are almost in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, I believe that even His Majesty the Tsar will forgive us for such a helpless choice." ”

Lazarievich also nodded, "I also agree, and the current situation is not caused by a few of us, it is caused by the improper command of the commander Oleglev, at that time at the operational military meeting, I proposed the disadvantages of occupying only 13 mountain fortifications on both sides of the road, but Oleglev did not accept my opinion!" ”

The other 2 army commanders smiled bitterly in their hearts, Lazarievich was still entangled in the fact that the commander Oleg did not accept his proposal, what is the use, they are about to start their careers as prisoners of war, if Lazaryevich can see Oleg again in the future, then argue about right and wrong!

Since the 3 commanders of the Russian army have made a decision, they immediately summoned all the division commanders and brigade commanders of the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops and announced their decision, and in the end, as expected by the 3 people, none of the dozens of division commanders and brigade commanders opposed the surrender to the Dingbei Army, and everyone knew that they were about to face a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, and the only way out for their lives was to lay down their arms.

Then the officers of the Russian army announced to the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops that they were going to lay down their arms and surrender to the Dingbei Army, but in exchange for earth-shaking cheers, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops were glad that their lives could finally be saved.

The cheers of the Russian army startled the officers and soldiers of Dingbei on the mountain fortifications, thinking that the Russian army was about to attack again, so they immediately took their places and ran to the position they were responsible for, but after waiting for a long time, the Russian army did not break through or attack the mountain fortifications.

The two commanders of the Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army heard the sound of gunfire on the other side again, and immediately mobilized their troops to prepare to continue the attack on the 137th and 138th heights, and to draw the strength of the Northern Army for the more than 100,000 troops south of the mountain fortification group.

The two commanders of the Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and had to order the troops to stop attacking, and they had to wait for the movement on the other side, otherwise they would pay a heavy price, but it had no effect, it was useless.

However, the Russian 33rd Army and the 34th Army could not wait for the movement on the other side, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of March 10, more than 100,000 Russian troops south of the mountain fortification group sent a Russian lieutenant colonel with a white flag to the nearest mountain fortification to the Russian army, and was escorted into a pillbox by the soldiers of the Dingbei Army.

After the Russian lieutenant colonel entered the pillbox, he said to the highest officer in the pillbox, a platoon commander of the Dingbei Army: "On behalf of Commander Partoliev, Commander Mokharnosky and Commander Lazaryevich, I will discuss with you the surrender of the 145,000 Russian troops south of the mountain fortification group!" ”

This lieutenant colonel of the Russian army also counted the Russian civilians who were temporarily recruited, and the original 30,000 civilians lost 5,000 people in a short time in the tentative breakout, which is also the main reason why the three commanders of the Russian army decided to surrender.

On the evening of the same day, more than 100,000 Russian troops, under the leadership of the three commanders of the Russian army, laid down their arms and chose to surrender unconditionally to the troops of the Dingbei Army guarding the mountain fortifications. R1152
