Apanashchenko did feel hopeless, and on the morning of that day he had already assured Stalin by telephone that by the morning of July 13 at the latest, the Soviet flag would be planted on the summits of Zhanggu and Shacao. And now, barring a miracle, that promise has largely been fulfilled.

What to do? What to do!

Apanashchenko's mind was full of this question, his eyes glowing red, he stared straight at the map on the table, and for a long time he did not say a word.

Maybe ten minutes, or twenty minutes. After a long silence, Apanashchenko stood up suddenly, slammed the table hard, and said fiercely: "Prepare for a night battle!" Let the 26 and 39 Infantry Divisions be combat-ready and put into battle in two hours, no, an hour later! ”

Šteln's eyes widened, for the order was a nonsense, and the main forces of the 26th and 39th Infantry Divisions arrived at the battlefield on a hurried march late at night on July 11, and only recovered a little after a rest. And for the situation near Zhang Gufeng, these two divisions did not understand at all and were not ready to go into battle. Throwing them into battle in such a hurry, and still participating in a night battle, is tantamount to murder to put it mildly!

As chief of staff, it was his duty and duty to point out the risks to Apanashchenko, but it was clear that Apanashchenko would not listen to him.

"Execute my order, and after an hour I must see the 26 and 39 Infantry Divisions thrown into battle!"

Šteln wanted to say more, but Apanashchenko glared at him viciously, a look of menace. At the same time, Mehris, who was fighting for the tiger, also spoke: "Comrade Shiteln. What are you still hesitating about. Execute the order now! Otherwise, I can only think that you are cowardly and cowardly. As the political commissar of the front army, I must remind you that your current thinking is dangerous! ”

Šteln sighed, both the commander and the commissar had made up their minds, what else could he, the chief of staff, say? If you don't get it right, you will anger these two bastards, and you will immediately give him little shoes to wear, especially Mehris, a bastard, who may have planted all the fault on his head.

Just when Šteln was speechless. Rychagov really couldn't stand it anymore, and as the deputy commander of the Front, he could no longer sit idly by: "Comrade Apanashchenko, is it necessary to inform Comrade Andrei about the night battle of the 26th and 39th Infantry Divisions, as a special commissioner of the Military Commission, we are obliged to inform him......"

The last thing Apanashchenko wanted to hear now was the name of a certain immortal, and suddenly he snorted coldly: "Then you go and report it!" ”

Rychagov's face changed, he knew that Apanashchenko hated him too, and he felt a chill when he remembered the end of his former colleagues who had disobeyed Apanashchenko. But what Rychagov didn't expect was this. What chilled his heart was still to come, because Mehris the dog-legged quickly added:

"These three days. The air force was really unsatisfactory, and it did not fulfill its due obligations at all, and caused a large number of accidental injuries...... In this regard, Comrade Rychagov is to blame for his ineffective leadership, and if we want to change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, we must first solve internal problems. Comrade Apanashchenko, please grant me the right to enforce battlefield discipline! ”

"You ......"

Rychagov almost didn't vomit blood, he just told the truth, it's all wrong? Poor support from aviation? It's a joke! Accidental injury, Nima who advocated the indiscriminate bombing last night also promised to shoulder the responsibility for the accidental injury. Damn, this is a pitfall!

"What are you, you, me, and me," Mekhlis glanced at Rychagov and said coldly: "I propose to immediately dismiss Rychagov from his post and immediately interrogate him severely!" ”

A white light flashed in Apanashchenko's eyes, of course he knew that Rychagov was innocent, but how to say the old saying, a friend of the dead is not a poor man. Yesterday, Li Xiaofeng emphasized the responsibility for the mistake, and with the urine nature of that guy, he would definitely grasp this issue to make a fuss. When the time comes, he who promises to take responsibility will definitely not have good fruit to eat. Rather than being killed by someone, it is better to find a scapegoat quickly. And Rychagov, the deputy commander in charge of aviation, is definitely the best one.

Immediately, Apanashchenko made a straight face: "Remove Rychagov from his post and take him down for review!" ”

"Apanashchenko, Mehris, you two bastards!" Rychagov's eyes were red, he knew that this was going to kill his rhythm, but this was Apanashchenko's headquarters, and he only had to be fished.

When the guards caught Rychagov, the commander of the aviation cuckoo cried out in blood: "You must not die well!" ”

But Rechagov's wail was exchanged for Mehris's cold drink: "Shut his mouth and take him down immediately!" ”

Seeing that Rychagov had only a dead end, Li Xiaofeng arrived at the critical moment: "Whose mouth is blocked?" Who are you going to take down? I'd like to see who is so powerful! ”

Tut......

Apanashchenko and Mehris glanced at each other, and the two of them were very remorseful, why did they take a step slow and let someone catch up?

"Comrade Andrei, please do not interfere in the internal affairs of our front, Rychagov has overturned Yanzhòng's mistakes, he must be tried!" Mehris said stiffly.

"Internal affairs of the Front?" Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "When did the front army save its ulterior internal affairs?" As the director of the General Political Department and the commissioner of the Central Military Commission, no matter what the matter is, you must report to me first. Any attempt to make a petty move is intolerable and unforgivable! ”

Mekhlis had no choice but to look at Apanashchenko, who was really stupid and bold, and said forcefully: "Comrade Andrei, you are too lenient!" As the commander of the Red Banner Front in the Far East, I am in charge of this one! ”

"Commander of the Red Banner Front in the Far East?" Li Xiaofeng smiled again, but soon his face changed, and he said coldly: "What kind of thing is the commander of the Far Eastern Red Banner Front, you are just a dog under Stalin." Teeth with me? Hmph, Apanashchenko, now I solemnly inform you. According to the powers granted to me by the Military Commission. Now officially relieved of your position. From now on, you are no longer the commander of the Red Banner Front in the Far East! ”

Apanashchenko seemed to have heard a joke, first looked at Li Xiaofeng incredulously for a while, and then laughed wildly: "You dismissed Lao Tzu from his position, how old are you?" ”

Syllable!

Answering Apanashchenko was a resounding slap in the face, Li Xiaofeng slapped him without hesitation, and this mouth directly threw the big man to the ground: "If you dare to spit dirty words in front of me, it's not as simple as slapping your mouth!" ”

Apanashchenko was immediately on fire. When he opened his mouth, he scolded: "I you......"

Snap, another mouth, and this one was heavier than the previous one, and Apanashchenko fainted with Venus in his eyes. But to be honest, this sudden change made everyone in the command headquarters stunned, no one would have thought that Li Xiaofeng would smack his mouth first without saying a word, what is this? But for Rychagov, it was a pleasure, and he couldn't wait to go up and smack two mouths too.

The first to react was Mehris, who deserved to be engaged in political work. The reaction was fast, and I saw this thing shouting by the throat: "Hit someone!" The commissioner beats people indiscriminately! Someone! ”

But Li Xiaofeng was not in a hurry at all. He watched Mehris jumping up and down there and shouting for a long time, and when Mehris shouted for a long time and no one came in, he sneered: "Keep shouting!" Why stopped, louder. ”

At this time, Mehris also knew that something was wrong, and the guards should have come in a long time ago, but his throat was broken, and he didn't see any movement outside, right?

Just when Mehris shivered, Li Xiaofeng's big-eared post was also drawn, and he scolded while hitting him: "Shout! Don't stop! Sue you, Lao Tzu is the one who hit you today! ”

Mekhlis's face was swollen by this mouth, and if Yakov hadn't come in and interrupted him, Mehris would have been whipped to death.

"The relevant personnel have already been arrested, what should I do next?"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at Rychagov and ordered: "Add another charge of persecuting revolutionary comrades to them, and then wipe out all their henchmen." ”

Yakov said to the stunned Apanashchenko and Mekhlisnunu: "Then put them in custody first, or send them directly to Moscow?" ”

Li Xiaofeng glared at Yakov very unhappily: "Why are you so troublesome?" The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, they are not allowed to quibble, and they will be shot on the spot! ”

"What?!"

Not only Yakov, but also Shteln and Rychagov, who were in the command, exclaimed at the same time. Nima, this is going to shoot the commander and political commissar of the front army, this is too fierce, right?

"This ......" Yakov was suddenly embarrassed, because he did not support a certain immortal to do this, "it is better to be imprisoned first and wait for the instructions of the Military Commission!" ”

Li Xiaofeng immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Still waiting for the instructions of the Military Commission, as a special commissioner of the Military Commission, I have full authority to represent the attitude of the Military Commission on this case, and I will be shot immediately, I heard it clearly, it is immediately!" ”

Jaco had a white sweat in his head, he knew very well that this was someone's stubborn temper, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him at this time. He glanced at Apanashchenko and Mehris with pity, and said in his heart: "Count you unlucky, whoever let you die to provoke someone, learn to be smart in the next life!" ”

To tell the truth, the most shocked people on the spot were not the outsiders such as Yakov and Rychakov, but the two parties involved, Apanashchenko and Mekhlis, who were still unimpressed when they were just arrested, and vowed to take revenge today. But in the blink of an eye, someone directly ordered them to be shot, and at first they thought it was a joke, just to scare them, and with a mocking expression on their faces, as if to say, "You killed us if you kindly!" ”

But what they didn't expect was that Li Xiaofeng really had a kind, not only to kill them, but also to execute them immediately, that really meant that he would be killed!

"You don't have that right!"

"I am the commander of the front, you have no right to arrest me!"

"I'm going to accuse you to the Military Commission!"

"Comrade Stalin will not let you go!"

Syllable! Syllable!

After the two gunshots, the noise disappeared, but Li Xiaofeng felt incomprehensible and hated, and ordered Yakov with a sullen face: "How can two shots be enough!" What if you don't die? ”

Yakov replied with a crying and laughing: "It has been confirmed, absolutely dead!" ”

"It's not okay to die," Li Xiaofeng commanded arrogantly, "with the crimes of the two of them." Just two shots is too cheap. Supplement...... Well. Make up nine shots per person, make up a whole number! ”

"Do you really want to refill the gun?" Yakov's face turned green.

Li Xiaofeng glared at him and said, "Of course! Not only do we have to replenish the guns, but also let the sappers make two shelves, and tomorrow we will hang the corpses on the shelves and go up the street, so that every soldier on the front line can see what happens to the traitors who betray the motherland and the revolution! ”

These words were stunned to Shteln and Rychagov, this is the rhythm of whipping corpses? And Apanashchenko and Mekhlis can only be considered disadvantageous in battle, right? When did you become a traitor?

Li Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "According to the KGB's investigation, it was found that Apanashchenko and Mehris were both Japanese spies, and they not only sold a large amount of top-secret information of our army to Japan. And deliberately blindly commanded, and our army paid a heavy price. According to the instructions of the Politburo and the Military Commission, I had to arrest him and put him to death! ”

Do you believe this? Believe it or not, they are not three-year-olds, and there has been a sharp confrontation between someone and Apanashchenko these days, and neither side is birding anyone. If you want to say that someone is not taking revenge on Apanashchenko, you are really fooling a fool.

However, Šteln and Rychagov did not dare to say anything, and Apanashchenko did indeed die, and continued to make nonsense, and finally even attacked them in order to shirk responsibility. To put it mildly, it's a scumbag; Second, a certain immortal was so awesome that he shot the commander and political commissar of the front army on the spot regardless of it. Shooting the chief of staff and deputy commander of the front army again is not the same as playing. No one is going to have trouble with their lives, is there?

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with the attitude of Shiteln and Rechagov, and ordered: "You should immediately convey to the grassroots comrades the news that Apanashchenko and Mekhlis had betrayed the motherland and had surrendered to the law, and you must let the comrades recognize the true colors of these two traitors and ensure that the morale of the army is stable." In addition, Apanashchenko's previous unreasonable order was canceled and the comrades were allowed to rest in place first. Comrade Shiteln, you immediately draw up a completely new battle plan, our goal is not only to recover Zhanggu Peak and Shacao Peak, but also to completely annihilate the enemy in front of you, and not to be confined to the restrictions of the national border, do you understand? ”

Shiteln looked at Li Xiaofeng with his mouth open, he didn't know what to say, someone was going to completely overturn the previous battle plan, this was to expand the conflict. Shistern really couldn't afford this responsibility, so he could only answer stubbornly: "Comrade Andrey, it is not difficult to formulate a battle plan that meets your requirements, but the Military Commission ......"

Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and replied with a big grin: "I will do the work of the Military Commission, you only need to be in charge of the new battle plan!" ”

Shiteln breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't held responsible, it would be fine. But Yakov was not so relaxed, and when Shteln and Rychagov were gone, he jumped to his feet and said: "Are you crazy? Killing Apanashchenko and Mekhlis behind the back of the Military Commission is already a serious violation of discipline, and now you have to revise the Military Commission's battle plan, are you going to die? ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Yakov, after so many years, you still don't know much about the essence of the political struggle. ”

Yakov said angrily: "What essence? I think you're crazy! ”

Li Xiaofeng continued to laugh and said: "Do you think you won't offend Stalin if you don't kill Apanashchenko and Mekhlis? Do you think you can get Stalin's forgiveness by letting them go? ”

Yakov was stunned, but he still felt that Li Xiaofeng was too much, and Li Xiaofeng smiled coldly and said: "As long as Apanashchenko is moved, it will be tantamount to making a feud with Stalin, and with his temper, he will definitely not swallow his anger." Not surprisingly, this means that our short-lived political marriage with them is over, and we will no longer be friends, but enemies. Since it can't be avoided, then don't be kind to mothers-in-law, mothers, mothers, women, and mothers, if you don't make a move, you have to be ruthless, and never give the enemy a chance to turn over again! ”

Yakov smiled bitterly: "Then why do you interfere? Let Apanashchenko die! ”

Li Xiaofeng snorted coldly in this regard, he has his pride, if he can't even handle goods like Apanashchenko and Mehris, why will he compete for the final throne in the future. He can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys this time, of course, it is more of a visceral dislike for Apanashchenko and Mehris, especially the latter, he has long wanted to make this goods.

Historically, Mekhlis seized on Blühel's restraint and realistic attitude in the early days of the outbreak of the Zhanggufeng incident, and in particular, seized Blyuhel to send a secret commission to Zhanggufeng to investigate the truth of the incident, and reported to Stalin: "He (Blyuhel) completely unexpectedly doubted the legality of our army's actions in the area of Lake Hassan, secretly sent a commission of inquiry to Zhanggufeng, and without the participation of the border guards, came to the so-called 'conclusion' that our troops had crossed the border, and demanded that we' Don't go wrong any more'. Not only that, but he also reported this 'false' border crossing incident to the People's Commissariat of National Defense and demanded that those responsible be punished. This kind of behavior is completely wrong and intolerable! ”

So why did Mehris hit this little report? Did the Soviet army cross the border at the beginning of the Zhang Gufeng incident? Truth be told, the Soviet troops did cross the border, according to the report of Colonel Glebinnik, then the head of the 59th Frontier Corps: "...... Due to the small number of personnel of our border guards, the long border line, and the fact that most of the border passes through the ridge, which is not conducive to patrolling, we inadvertently violated the Sino-Soviet border treaty when constructing fortifications......

It can be seen that the Soviet army did cross the border at that time, and it should be said that the results of the Blyukhel investigation are the truth. So where is the root cause of this crossing? The historical reason was precisely in Mehris, then the head of the General Political Department, who gave the order to occupy Zhang Gufeng. In other words, the root cause of the rapid outbreak of this conflict lies here in Mehris. Then the matter could not be stopped, and in order to shirk the responsibility, he could only kill Blyukher.

For Li Xiaofeng, Mehris in history is very bad, and in this time and space, he is blindly commanding, and "new hatred and old hatred" always erupts, so he must be killed! (To be continued......)
