The queen of the palace is naturally not a good errand, and it is very likely that he will be chased by the Red Army, and naturally no one wants to be the queen of the palace. But when the army is opened, someone must sacrifice the queen of the palace, right? If no one intercepts it, it will not be an orderly retreat, but a chaotic escape, and if you don't get it right, you will have to be defeated.

As the commander of the Czech Army, Titeririchs understood this, and to tell the truth, he preferred to take the northern route, which was short and only 80 kilometers of roads, as long as the communication line was opened, the rest of the distance could be run by train.

Take the southern line, that really is the brain-dead, due to the fall of Rostov-on-Don, the railway will not work at all, unless you concentrate your forces to defeat Rostov-on-Don, you can retreat along the railway. The problem is that the defenders of Rostov are the Red Navy, and under the double blow of sea and land superiority, going there is tantamount to kicking an iron plate.

If you don't take Rostov, take the road, as I said earlier, you have to go around in a big circle, and you have to go back to Kamensk, and after tossing for a long time, you still haven't bypassed this ghost place. Since you can't get around it anyway, wouldn't it be better to simply take Kamensk?

Therefore, Tetterichs is quite disgusted with the Donetsk troops who support the southern front, and thinks that this group of people is simply afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Take the northern route!" Titerikhs categorically denied the possibility of taking the southern front and ordered: "The troops of the Donetsk side will first go north and join the main forces. Then seize Kamensk and retreat along the railway line...... As for the troops in charge of the palace, they are shared by both sides! ”

This is the only solution that Titerikhs can come up with, let the troops of Donetsk go to the rear. Those guys are going to blow up their guns. And let the troops of Lugansk be behind. Not necessarily happy here. Simply, each will play fifty boards, and both sides will have to be people, so there will be nothing to say now!

It can only be said that Tetterichs thought too simply, and it seems fair and reasonable to do so, but the problem is not completely solved, because this bowl of water is always uneven.

"We can accept this building!" The representative of the Donetsk White Army spoke, but his main purpose was to put forward conditions: "But we are very skeptical that this withdrawal plan will be carried out in earnest...... It takes time to go north. What if you go first? For the sake of fairness, I think it's best to wait for the two armies to converge and assign specific tasks before starting the retreat! ”

In fact, what this means is that if you want to go, everyone will go together, and your troops in Luhansk cannot go first before our troops in Donetsk arrive in Luhansk! This is a bit vexatious, the soldiers are fast, and now they have to rush for time to escape for their lives. Not to mention the fact that the troops of the Northern Front had to recapture Kamensk first, otherwise. There is no way to get there.

In this case, how can you wait to die? At the very least, we must first launch a campaign against Kamensk to retake this extremely important city, right?

"Kamensk was lost by Krasnov's troops, and his troops are responsible for retaking it!" The representative of Donetsk is very good at finding crooked reasons, and kicked the ball away: "We can meet Luhansk now, and when Krasnov recaptures Kamensk, it will be just right for Lìli to move forward!" ”

If Krasnov was at the meeting and listened to these words, he would probably vomit blood, Kamensk was not a must-go place for him, and he could go directly to White Kalitva. Now it's good that the Czech Legion wants to throw the burden on him and make him a pioneer, Nima, you really want to be blind!

Although Titerikhs would have liked to have Krasnov go to the mines, to open roads and build bridges over mountains and waters, the problem was that it was impossible. The one who had long had an opinion on the Czech Legion, and if it hadn't been for the greater pressure exerted by the Entente, the goods would have thrown them off and fled. Now that you can stop and wait for them, you still expect him to open the way? Shh

"General Krasnov's troops are now exhausted after the attrition of the front," Titerikhs said kind things for someone, holding back his anger, "the current situation is that with his forces it is not possible to retake Kamensk, and for the sake of the big picture, we must personally go into battle to retake Kamensk!" ”

However, what Titeririchs did not expect was that no one bought this, and on the issue of taking advantage, both the White Army in Luhansk and the White Army in Donetsk were completely unanimous.

"I don't think it's appropriate, the closest to Kamensk is General Krasnov, there is no reason for us to go long distances to fight a tough battle!"

When the representative of Donetsk heard this, he immediately chimed in: "That's right, that's right!" It was very difficult for our troops in Donetsk to rush all the way to Luhansk, and they still had to be the queen and open the way, how could they have so much energy? We believe that both sides should do their part, and if we are allowed to open the way, then Krasnov's troops should be left behind. ”

Titerikhs was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, he couldn't play the striker,, you mean to let Krasnov's troops go around from Mirerovo back to the palace? Circle you forked, I can't listen to this kind of, and you still expect Krasnov to buy it?

I really think that Lao Tzu doesn't understand what you mean, you still want Krasnov to go to Jammensk, don't you want to take advantage! The question is, you idiots don't have to think about it with shrunken brains, what did Krasnovken do?

For a whole day, Titerikhs spent the whole day in constant nonsense and nonsense, he was like an old man who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, trembling and playing whack-a-mole. And each of these abominable gophers was more cunning and nimble than the other, and he was so tired that he didn't hit a single one.

Titeririchs finally got to know what it was like to press a gourd in a tank, which the Bolsheviks had suffered from and were tired of. As for Titeririchs, he was not as capable as his mentor and Trotsky, nor did he have the energy and means of the likes of Petus, Steel, and the Man in the Iron Mask. was in a hurry for a while, and the final result was half the effort.

That night, he wrote to Masaryk: "Your Excellency, I am exhausted by what has happened today, even when I close my eyes and lie in bed. I still have mosquitoes buzzing in my ears...... No one wants to take responsibility. Each one is shirking. are all quibbling...... I'm fed up with their hypocrisy, and if I had a machine gun, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger and kill all these dog mongrels...... However, I did not have a machine gun, and I could not kill them, and without their assistance, the troops could not move an inch...... I thought I would continue to fight with them tomorrow. I shuddered...... The only thing that reassures me is that the Red Bandits seem to have stopped a lot, they don't know anything about the retreat we are going to carry out, and they have even reduced the frequency of their activities......"

Tetterichs did not know that the Red Army knew everything about his actions, but two self-righteous fools did not take this seriously, and they were deceived by the illusion that the Czech regiments could not agree because of internal quarrels, and instead of intensifying the offensive and sticking to the Czech regiments according to Frunze's orders, they sat on the spot and waited.

As a result, there was a very interesting scene on the battlefield, when the Red Army and the White Army, which were facing off on the Luhansk-Donetsk line, invariably stopped their military operations. The Reds chose to rest and catch their breath in order to build up energy for the fierce battle that Voroshilov and Zhdanov had hoped for. The white army silently packed up and packed their bags, and only waited for the first order to start running.

In the course of a few days, the two sides cooperated very tacitly and launched a sit-down war. Unlike the stationary Red Army on the Western Front, the Red Army on the Eastern Front and the Northern Front pressed over from the direction of Moscow with a thunderous force under Frunze's strong orders, while the Red Navy officers and men on the Southern Front were also led by Eberhardt and Boris, in addition to holding key nodes such as Kamensk and Baikalitva, they also used small forces to sneak attack Shacht, once successful, it can be said that the door to the eastward escape of the Czech Army will be completely closed.

The shape of the battlefield also took a sudden turn when Frunze's main force was about to arrive in Mirerovo!

It was Krasnov who changed the overall trend again, and the impatient general finally couldn't bear it after sitting and waiting on the north bank of the Don River for several days. He knew very well that the main force of the Red Army could move south at any time, and once he was surrounded on the north bank of Kamensk, he could not reach the village in front of him and the back of the store, and he was separated from the Czech Corps on both sides of the strait, he was afraid that he would first encounter a major blow from the main force of the Red Army moving south. It is quite possible that he will be annihilated on the north bank of the Don River.

Krasnov didn't want to die, let alone die so badly, even if the Provisional Government of Ufa and the Entente put pressure on him to continue waiting for the Czech Legion, he didn't dare to wait any longer. God knows how long those stupid Czechs will have to grind!

So, in order to ensure his own safety, Krasnov categorically chose not to wait, and directly marched east with the main force, preparing to quickly jump out of the encirclement after capturing White Kalitva. It should be said that this decision is correct, and if we continue to sit and wait, I am afraid that we will really be surrounded and annihilated by the Red Army. Only by taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Red Army have not yet arrived, and quickly jumping out of the encirclement, can there be a way to survive!

Krasnov's sudden escape took Titerikhs by surprise. According to the previous agreement, the two sides should act in unison, and now Krasnov ran away first and threw his corps on the Luhansk and Donetsk lines.

Immediately, Titerikhs lodged a strong protest with the Entente and the Provisional Government of Ufa, condemning Krasnov's abandonment of friendly troops and demanding that Krasnov immediately return to the north bank of Kamensk to meet his troops.

The question is, at this point, can protests and denunciations be useful? Krasnov was already determined to run, and directly ordered the shutdown of all radio stations, ignoring the remote command of the Provisional Government of Ufa and the Entente.

When Titerikhs learned that Krasnov could no longer be contacted, his eyes fell out in surprise, and he understood that he could no longer count on Krasnov to share his weal and woe with him, and no longer want to count on someone to help them through mines, and if they wanted to escape, they had to rely on themselves!

A strong sense of crisis made Titerichs completely erupt, and he no longer paid attention to the quarrel between the north and the south, and ordered the whole army to move immediately in the direction of Kamensk, as for which route? He doesn't bother to care, Donetsk idiots, if you are willing to take the southern route, then go well, you don't bother to care about your life or death!

Already completely panicked, Titerikhs rushed towards Kamensk with his main forces in Luhansk, and his speed was simply beyond imagination. Looks like he's jumped off the wall in a hurry.

When the main forces of the Czech Army in Luhansk ran away in a panic, the White Army in Donetsk immediately followed suit, especially when they learned that Krasnov had run away first. In addition to scolding that the goods are not righteous. I had to quickly pick up the bag and run away.

At this moment, they no longer have the energy to argue about whether to take the southern route or the northern route. Most of the White Army rushed in the direction of Luhansk, for fear that as soon as the main force left, the Red Army would take advantage of the situation, and if Luhansk was taken away by the Red Army, then they would really stop.

Of course, there were also some White troops who chose to take the southern route, not because they liked the southern route, but because they could only take the southern route, and the communication route to Luhansk was already crowded. Cars, trains, and carriages all rushed in that direction, not to mention the state of chaos.

Seeing that there was really no way to go on the northern front, this part of the white army had to take the southern route, and if they were fast enough, the south might be better to go. Even some of the officers of the White Army came up with such thoughts: "The main force has attracted the attention of the red bandits, let's just do the opposite, come to fish in troubled waters, maybe we can still be a fish that slips through the net!" ”

Thousands of White troops rushed along the road from Donetsk to Shakht, faster and more fierce than the main forces taking the northern front. Just two hours before their arrival in Schacht, Eberhardt's sailors had captured the city.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the occupation is precise. Took over the city to be precise. When the sailors who were originally planning to attack and capture Shakht entered the city, they found that the White Army that had been stationed here had been emptied.

Under the leadership of the commander of the city defense. The garrison of the White Army fled eastward with lightning speed, secretly crossed the river at night a few kilometers upstream of Shemykarakolsk, and fled in the direction of Volgodonsk. And they were also the only White troops in the entire Kamensk-White Kalitva annihilation battle to escape the encirclement without losses.

Not to mention the shit-lucky White Army, not long after the Red Sailors entered Shakht with surprise and doubt, the rolling remnants of the Donetsk White Army also arrived in the city, and the two sides collided head-on.

"What? Encountered a large white army in Schacht, nearly 10,000 people? ”

When Eberhardt received this telegram, he was amazed, and although he had captured Schacht at Frunze's request, the old man thought in his heart that it was not very likely that the main force of the White Army would escape by this route. To put it mildly, the capture of Schacht is simply an insurance policy just in case.

And now, what if this one hits?

The old man had a bit of an idea of buying a Mark Six lottery at that time, and this "luck" was really good, right? Just as the old man was considering whether to reinforce Shacht, another fierce white army was killed under the city of Kamensk.

This force, of course, was the main force of Titerikhs, and in order to escape for their lives, they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Kamensk. It was no problem for the garrison of Eberhardt to bully Krasnov on the north bank under the cover of the river, but in the face of tens of thousands of troops rushing over on land, there was really no way to do it.

In just an hour, the position was bulldozed by the Czech corps, and if it had not been for the fact that Eberhardt had blown up the railway bridge in advance, I am afraid that Titerikhs's troops would soon be able to converge in Krasnov, and then they would have been even more difficult to deal with.

"There are large forces of White troops in the Kamensk and Shakht directions?"

After getting Eberhardt's battle report, Frunze couldn't sit still, it was fine a few days ago, it seemed that the Red Tenth Army had successfully completed the delayed task, why did the White Army rush over in the blink of an eye?

"Pick me up Klimant. Yevremovich! Frunze subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but at that time he hadn't thought about the two goods, but he just suspected that the Red Tenth Army might have encountered some difficulties.

"How's it going? White Army as usual? ”

When Frunze heard these two words from Voroshilov, who was sleeping in a daze and still yawning, he dropped the phone directly.

Holding back his anger, he asked again, "Are you sure it's as usual?" ”

Voroshilov was also unlucky, he didn't realize that the situation was wrong at all, and thought that Frunze was making routine inquiries, anyway, Frunze has made similar calls and telegrams in the past two days. He's used to it.

This thing wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said with certainty: "One qiē is normal, the white army is under the stubborn resistance of our Red Tenth Army, and it is difficult to move an inch......"

Before he finished speaking, the furious Frunze pulled up the phone, directly pushed open the window, and pointed the earpiece out of the window, and the violent explosion instantly made Voroshilov shiver.

"You give me a good listen, this is White Kalitva, I can hear and see the artillery fire in the direction of Kamensk here, Eberhardt said that he was fiercely attacked by tens of thousands of white troops, Kamensk has been lost, and now you tell me where this white army came from!"

Voroshilov's head was covered in cold sweat, looking at the earpiece in his hand, he couldn't say a word, and as the thunderous Frunze hung up the phone, he suddenly had a chilling feeling.

After being stunned for a moment, the thing suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the phone and shook it violently, and then shouted: "Inform the divisions, immediately attack in the direction of Luhansk and Donetsk, immediately!" What, who is my son of a bitch? Lao Tzu is Klimant. Yevremovich! (To be continued......)
