The second is to ask for a monthly pass

"Revolutionary workers' fighters! The time has come to decide the outcome of the Eastern Front, to use your bayonets to destroy the imperialist and revisionist aggressors and bring peace and happiness to the working people of Mongolia and the Far East. Advance towards enemy fire! Go for a decisive victory! ”

On the Manchuria front, thousands of elite Red Army assault officers and men stamped bullets and shells fired from Japanese positions, inspired by Comrade Stalin's pre-war speeches, stepped on the corpses of their comrades and began a new round of onslaught.

After studying the situation in the two battlefields of Manchuria and Harigantusumu, the three-member committee of the former enemy, composed of Stalin, Frunze, and Skryansky, suddenly discovered that the Eastern Front of the Red Army was facing an extremely grim situation. The outcome of the battle will depend on who wins first over the main forces of the Eastern Front and the Chinese Army's Middle East Route Army. If the Eastern Front could not annihilate the Japanese army in Manchuria before the Chinese Army's Eastern Route Group Army broke through the Red Army's defense line in Harigantu Sumu, the Red Army's Eastern Front would be in a situation of losing ground and retreating, and it would be impossible to withdraw to Chita.

Moreover, now the Red Army on the front line of Harigan Tusumu has turned to the defensive, lost the strategic initiative, and it is impossible to shrink and retreat and give up the battle. The only way out is to grit your teeth and fight to the end!

The three-member committee, headed by Stalin, did not hesitate for long and made up its mind to fight to the death. All units of the Red Army on the Manchuria front were given strict orders: only advance, not retreat! Within three days, the enemy in Manchuria must be annihilated!

At the same time, the Red Artillery on the Manchurian front also went out and took out all the shells they could. Regardless of the heavy bombardment of the Japanese defense line, it cleared an obstacle in the way of the attacking infantry and bombarded the Japanese position. But the resistance of the Japanese was still stubborn, and the fire from machine guns and rifles was still intensive. The remnants of the Japanese infantry under the artillery fire all stared at the Red Army infantry swarming forward in front of them with red eyes, and fired wildly. The sound of Meiji 38-style machine guns firing like spitting out rough air resounded throughout the entire front, weaving a dense web of fire in front of the Japanese positions.

Bullets whizzed around the charging Red Army soldiers. From time to time, revolutionary workers' fighters fell under fire. The fighters who rushed to the front fell, and the Red Army fighters behind marched on the corpses of their comrades. "Ulla! Ulla! The shouts came in waves, as if there was never a stop.

The shells of the Japanese counterattack also fell. blocked the path for reinforcements of the Red Army. Then a strange cry of "Sagege" sounded in the Japanese trenches, and the Japanese officers and men of the brigade jumped out with rifles with bayonets on them. Chanting "Half loaded! Half load! The slogan launched a counter-charge, and immediately melee with the Red Army assault troops. The two sides collided together. Scuffled into a ball. The popping sound of a bayonet piercing into the human body continued to sound. From time to time, there were terrible screams, shouting in Japanese or Russian: "Mom! "Well, Lenin's warriors and the emperor's warriors thought of their own mothers in their last moments before they died. It seems that the education of GCISM and militarism is still not in place! Soldiers from both sides were pouring in, and the lives of Japan and Russia were consumed by each other as if they didn't need money.

Such duels were staged at the same time throughout the entire front, and the final result was much the same, often the winning side pushed the line forward by tens of meters, and the losing side would soon counterattack with overwhelming artillery support! Start a new deathmatch.

The Red Army and the Japanese artillery had also fallen into a frenzy, and they did not hesitate to fire as many shells as possible at their targets! The Japanese artillery shells almost set fire to the area between the positions of the two armies, and the assault troops of the Red Army did not hesitate to crash into the high wall formed by artillery fire! After a fully formed infantry battalion rushed through the wall of fire. The remaining forces are often not enough for a company! It is these hundreds of meters that seem to turn into a dead end to hell (this is not accurate, GC warriors are atheists, so they will not go to hell after death).

The artillery fire of GCISM is even more frenzied, and 122mm and 152mm heavy artillery shells often fall indiscriminately in the trenches that are still in the melee. The soldiers of the two armies who scuffled in the trenches were killed indiscriminately. The corpses piled up in the trenches, and in the end almost the entire trench was filled! The officers and soldiers on both sides hugged each other and were blown to death, and they still maintained a fighting posture after death, as if they were going to take the battle to hell! In the face of such a brutal battle, neither side has the slightest intention of retreating!

Prince Zaihito of the Idle Courtyard Palace was guarding his headquarters. His eyes had already turned red, and he shouted like crazy and gave the order: "Resist! No matter what, don't go back! Sue the soldiers below, the Chinese friends will soon call to save us! ”

Oh, my God! This Japanese prince, who devoted his whole life to the cause of militarism, was still pondering how to annex China's Manchuria and Mongolia not long ago, but now he keeps calling China a friend, and most of them do so from the heart! His Royal Highness did not want to die, and he did not dare to imagine being captured by the Soviet Russian Red Army, so he could only hope that the Chinese revisionist army would come to his rescue

In the headquarters behind the position of the Japanese Second Division, which was the most fiercely fighting, the commander of the First Army, Kituzo Otani, was already sitting there, yelling into the telephone, answering his subordinates' requests for tactical guidance: "Eight grids! There is no more guidance! There are no troops to send now, and if you have to guide, only this official and His Royal Highness the Prince will personally guide them! What the? Long live the assault? No way! Want to just go to your death? Is this the attitude of the samurai of His Majesty the Emperor in the face of difficult situations? Nakajima, you big idiot, you can't enter the Yasukuni Shrine if you die like this! Give me command of the battle, no nonsense! ”

And on the side of the Red Army, Stalin, too, grabbed the telephone headset and loudly reprimanded the commander of the 14th Army, Ubolevich, who was directing the battle on the front line, in Russian with a Georgian accent: "Ijeronim. Comrade Petrovich! How can you propose a retreat? You're still not a GCD? Is he a Marxist? I will report to the Revolutionary Military Council to remove you from your post, and I will ask the Cheka comrades to investigate you properly. See if you are a revisionist agent! Okay, now that you have been removed, uh, you will be removed from your post and retained, and if you can take down Manchuria within forty-eight hours, I will spare you this time! ”

Scolded by Stalin, Ubolevich was also on fire in his belly. almost quarreled with the other party on the phone, so he was not afraid that Stalin would go to the Revolutionary Military Council to complain! Ubolevich had a backstage, he was a member of the Trotsky Jewish Gang, or how could he have become the commander of the army group at the age of 23? But now the enemy is present. He was in no mood to quarrel with Stalin, a military layman. He hung up the phone and walked around the headquarters, finally standing in front of the map desk and staring.

This battle can't be fought like this! Although he had previously supported the division of troops into two routes, the simultaneous encirclement of the Japanese army in Manchuria and the reinforcements to fight the revisionists. But now the revisionist army is fighting more than they had previously estimated. It turned out that the inference based on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army in the Battle of Chita did not apply at all to the Chinese army fighting on the mainland. They showed a stronger will to fight when defending their homeland! Moreover, the firepower was also extremely ferocious, and the five infantry divisions relying on Yakir could not defeat each other at all. On the Manchurian side, relying on 250,000 Red Army to surround a comparable number of Japanese troops is already a bit reluctant, and it is a dream to completely annihilate the opponent. That is, such a brute as Stalin would have made such a decision, and if Trotsky had been here, he would have chosen to retreat temporarily

At this time, his chief of staff, a former colonel of the Tsarist Russian Army, shouted at him after comparing with several staff officers on the map for a while: "Comrade commander, now the deployment of the Japanese army has a situation where one side is the main attack and three sides are the main defense. They seem to be focused on achieving a breakthrough in the east of Manchuria, which should be to break through and flee eastward, and join the squadron advancing westward. We might as well get out of the line to the east. Allowing the Japanese to flee and then resorting to the tactics of pursuit should result in greater results with fewer casualties. ”

The chief of staff, Jianyì, reminded Ubolevich that Stalin's order was to seize Manchuria and annihilate or inflict heavy damage on the main forces of the Japanese army in Manchuria. Other words. It was allowed to let go of a part of the Japanese army! He pondered for a moment, discussed a few more words with the chief of staff, hastily issued a plan for the adjustment of the troops, and then gave an order to his adjutant: "Send a telegram to the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic in Moscow, informing them that the Eastern Front has suffered great losses after a hard battle. It was no longer able to assume the responsibility of liberating Mongolia, Manchuria and the Far East, unless it could receive large reinforcements in time, so we built the Eastern Front to end its military operations in Manchuria after the capture of Manchuria and divert its forces to the Far Eastern Republic. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his chief of staff reminded in a whisper: "Comrade commander, it is not appropriate for you to send a telegram to Moscow by crossing the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Eastern Front, Comrade Stalin and Comrade Frunze will meet"

Ubolevich waved his hand: "I know, but as a GCD, I can't watch the entire Eastern Front fall into crisis!" And as the commander of the army, I have the right to submit reports directly to the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic. ”

The Ubolevich report was soon sent by radio to the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic in the Kremlin. It's also a tense scene. Each staff officer was grim-faced, guarding the phone, and going about his work around the map. Soviet Russia is now facing a two-front situation, with a large number of troops to be reinforced in the direction of Belarus and Ukraine in the west. On the Eastern Front, the main forces of the Eastern Front were engaged in fierce offensive and defensive battles with the Chinese and Japanese armies in Manchuria. In Siberia and Mongolia, in the Far Eastern Republics, in Central Asia, there were also many Red Army units engaged in battles of various scales, and in the core of Russia, a large number of new recruits were being trained. This qiē required astronomical amounts of weapons, ammunition, and supplies, and required the people's committees and Cheka warriors everywhere to do their best to supervise production and collect supplies.

In order to ensure that this war was on a huge scale, the industrial and agricultural production in the country had been severely affected, almost all the factories that could start work were serving the war, civilian materials were scarce to the extreme, and the situation in the countryside was even worse, although the autumn harvest had just been completed, but a poor harvest was reported in almost all places, the negative effects of the surplus grain collection system of the military GC doctrine were emerging, and the peasants in Russia did not farm well throughout 1919, so there was no surplus grain to pay! Now only "machine-gun squads" were used to collect the peasants' rations, and in many places even uprisings against the Bolsheviks broke out! And rumors are rife in the country, there are even rumors that the youngest daughter and son of Nicholas II escaped the shooting of the Bolsheviks and are now hiding in China, with Kolchak, preparing to restore their dynasty at what time in the future!

Once the Eastern Front is defeated in China, and Kolchak's hundreds of thousands of White Russians find an opportunity to fight back to Russia, I really don't know if the red country of the Russian GCD will be subverted in the midst of internal and external difficulties? And it was at this time that Ubolevich's report was delivered to Trotsky's desk. The brow of the commander-in-chief of the Red Army was tightly twisted.

The commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Republic, Vazetis, quietly walked in at this time. The general, who defected to the Tsar with a Latvian infantry division after the February Revolution, was Trotsky's most trusted "military expert". At this time in history, he had already been knocked out of power by Lenin, but at this time, thanks to the rapid victory in the war against Belarus, the Russian general, who did not like Comrade Lenin very much, still sat on the throne of commander-in-chief - but looking at the current situation of the war, he was not far from the day of bad luck.

Trotsky heard the noise at the door, turned his head, looked at his old comrade-in-arms, who was almost heartbroken for the current war situation, and smiled bitterly: "Joakim. Comrade Ioakimovich, have you read Ubolevich's report? This young man is very not optimistic about the war situation in the East, it seems that we will not be able to live up to Comrade Lenin's expectations, we will not be able to complete the task of liberating Manchuria, and even the capture of the Far Eastern State will be somewhat difficult, so I am ready to submit my resignation to the Political Bureau and take the responsibility for the defeat! ”

(Note: Trotsky knew that Lenin would not agree to his resignation, and he did so to exonerate his military experts.) ）……)
