There are no words to describe Budyonny's current mood, his whole person has become decadent these days, those soldiers continue to flee he doesn't care, and he no longer has the heart to study where the lax defense of the Japanese army can leave him a chance to sneak attack, and he doesn't even ask about the supply and training of the troops.

Sometimes Budyonny even thought that if someone in the team shot him, maybe it would be the best relief for himself. He knew that his head would be worth 300,000 rubles if he got Consne, and that this reward was not given by the Chinese, but by the Russian civilians there, and the families of those killed in the bandits pooled their money to buy his head!

Chills, heartaches.

Yang Xiaolin's intention seems to have really been achieved, and the future Russian general now has the idea of giving up, he has lost the desire to fight and cannot find a reason to continue fighting.

A team of more than 300 people walked lazily across the Siberian land, both men and horses, who seemed to be as desperate as Budyonny. Amerston hurried to Budyonny's side from behind: "Budyonny, the troops need to rest, we need to find a place to replenish some food." ”

Budyonny didn't think about anything at all, and didn't even look back at his team: "Well, you can arrange it." ”

His attitude obviously made Amoston a little angry, Amoston and Budyonny have been friends for more than ten years, and their relationship is like that of Li Debiao and the second pole, iron to the point that it can no longer be iron. He understood what Budyonny was facing, but he didn't think that all the difficulties were a reason for Budyonny to give up.

"Budyonny, you can't do this!"

"And what else do you want? What else can I do?! ”

Budyonny was visibly out of shape, and his voice was so loud that the eyes of the soldiers turned to them. Amoston was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "You should continue to take us to fight!" Don't care what people say, you are you, you are Budyonny, you promised all of us a few months ago. No matter what happens, you will take us to fight the Japanese invaders to the end! ”

The muscles on Budyonny's face twitched a few times, looking very painful, and then he slammed his hand on the heart: "You're not me!" You won't understand what I'm thinking! I'm a bastard, I'm a bastard who has been spurned by the whole world, and even my compatriots are now glaring at me, you don't understand how uncomfortable I feel in my heart, Amoston! ”

Amoston said, "At least we believe in you!" We don't have the slightest doubt about you, Budyonny, it's time for you to cheer up! When others want to knock you down, you have to stand firm on your own! The truth will come out in broad light one day, and you should tell all Russians that you are willing to continue fighting for them. ”

Budyonny was stunned by what Amoston said. There was no sound for a long time. At this time, a soldier suddenly whispered: "Budyonny, we are still following you because we believe that you will lead us to fight the Japanese, and we believe that you are good!" ”

"Yes, Budyonny, we believe in you!"

"Budyonny, take us to kill the Japanese, as we did before."

The soldiers were talking nonsense, and Budyonny's mood suddenly became very complicated, and he was a little ashamed and a little moved. There is also a lot of helplessness. Before his thoughts could calm down, a gunshot rang out from the southwest side of the line, followed by a series of gunfire, and he turned his head to look. The sky not far away was lit red by artillery fire.

Budyonny hesitated, but Amston gave him the order: "Scout! Go scout the situation! ”

The two horsemen rushed to the place where the guns rang out, and it didn't take long for the scout to return: "Report, ahead our Russian troops are surrounded by Japanese troops. A preliminary observation of at least one wing of the Japanese army participating in the battle showed that the situation of the encircled troops could not be ascertained, and it seemed that their situation was very critical. It seems that it can't hold it anymore. ”

Amstone's eyes were on Budyonny, and all the soldiers were looking at him, and Budyonny really hesitated, but he made a decision right away. He may be able to give up everything, but he must not let down these comrades-in-arms who still believe in him.

"Cavalrymen! Get ready for battle! ”

Surrounded by the Japanese was a regiment of Russian troops, said to be a regiment, but in fact it was only six or seven hundred people. Moreover, their equipment and training are far from meeting the requirements of regular combat units, let alone heavy firepower. The most important thing is that this regiment does not have the tools to communicate with the outside world, and it is also quite far away from the rest of the Russian troops. When surrounded by the Japanese, the Russian commander tried to break out of the encirclement, but both attempts failed.

In desperation, he could only lead his troops to defend in this small village, saying that he was waiting for help, but in fact, he himself no longer expected reinforcements to come to save him. The Japanese artillery fire easily blew through his impenetrable defensive line, and hand-to-hand combat ensued in the village.

Even though the Russian troops fought very tenaciously under the leadership of the Communists, the gap in numbers and weapons was obvious, and they were far inferior to their opponents in military quality, and they were still driven step by step by the Japanese to the center of the village.

Seeing that the army was about to be destroyed, Budyonny's cavalry attacked the Japanese from outside the village.

Budyonny first took out the Japanese guns, and then charged the Japanese baggage troops. Now that he has experience in fighting small Japan, he knows that the supplies of the Japanese are not so abundant, and the amount of supplies carried by a unit may only be enough for a few days' combat needs. So as long as you hit them with supplies, they will definitely come back to help.

Sure enough, the Japanese army was not fully prepared for the attack from behind, and the baggage team hurriedly signaled, and the Japanese troops in front quickly came back to the rescue. At this time, Budyonny relied on the speed of his cavalry to be much faster than the Japanese Luo Quan, and rushed into the village in a big detour, slashed and killed more than 100 small Japanese, and cut a gap in the tight encirclement of the Japanese.

Little Japan was not too willing to win the victory and ran away like this, and chased after it for a while. But Budyonny hit the Japanese in the middle of the road and killed dozens of them, and little Japan was honest.

The group of Russian soldiers who escaped death was really pleasantly surprised, and after completely getting rid of the Japanese, the Russian regiment commander walked up to Budyonny: "Comrade cavalry, may I ask which unit you are from?" ”

Budyonny smiled and did not answer him: "You are from that unit?" ”

The regiment commander said: "We are the new 30th Army of the 12th Army, and I am Major Oleg. I really want to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, we would be all done this time. ”

The regimental commander was so excited that he had completely forgotten that Budyonny had not yet told him where the cavalry was. Budyonny looked at him: "Listen to your accent is from the Caucasus, right?" Now you're here to fight? ”

The head of the regiment nodded: "Yes." We came with General Akberlil, and our troops are not yet fully engaged in battle, but I believe it will be sooner or later. ”

Budyonny was a little happy when he heard this: "General Ackberil? That's a respectable general! I'm glad he can also come and fight with the Russian troops. What was the mood of the soldiers? ”

"Not bad! Although the battle on the battlefield was very hard, the comrades believed that the final victory would definitely belong to us. ”

Budyonny nodded: "That's good, nothing is more important than confidence, when others want to break us, we must stand hard." ”

This was not so much what he said to the Russian regiment commander. It's better to say that he said it to himself. Budyonny's eyes became firm after he finished speaking, and the decadence of the previous few days was swept away. The regiment commander was obviously encouraged by his words: "You are so right, comrade cavalry, I have reliable information that the headquarters is planning a large-scale counteroffensive campaign, and we will soon give Japan a little color!" By the way, what's your name? When I get back, I'll have to tell someone you saved me. ”

Budyonny strangled his horse's head: "My name is Budyonny, Semyon. Mikhailovich. Budyonny. ”

The regiment leader was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately changed: "You are Budyonny?" ”

Budyonny raised his head high: "Yes, this team in front of you is my team. Is there any problem, Comrade Oleg? ”

Oleg shook his head gently: "No, there is no problem! I'm just a little ashamed of my previous attitude towards you. I'm sorry, I cursed you. I must now go back to my troops, and I will tell my comrades that it was Budyonny and his companions who saved us. See you again, Comrade Budyonny! ”

Looking at Oleg's sincere eyes, Budyonny suddenly realized that he had been bothered by an unimportant question all along. It turns out that it is so simple to make people believe in themselves, as long as they continue to fight for the motherland. Everything is a floating cloud.

He jumped off his horse and gave Oleg a warm hug: "See you again, Comrade Oleg!" Please tell the organization. We will continue to fight! My soldiers and I will prove our innocence to the world with our actions. ”

After sending off Comrade Oleg, Budyonny began his battle again, and all the successful ones had one thing in common, that is, they themselves would never admit defeat, even if they had thought so in the face of difficulties.

The Russians were really preparing for a large-scale campaign, which was decided upon after the joint study of three generals, Akberil, Bruchinov and Kilingsky.

In fact, the most fundamental starting point was put forward by General Brushinov. Brushinov said that the battle has been fought so far, although the Russian side has been losing and retreating, but the Japanese Nogi Noshinori has also become the end of the crossbow, and it is said that Nogi Noshinori has begun to ask for reinforcements from the Japanese base camp, what is this situation like?

Just like the situation of the Far Eastern Army under the city of Beijing. Nogi Noshinori's 100,000 Japanese troops alone could no longer break through the Russian defenses, and the Japanese side had to increase their troops, and little Japan did so. I heard that there were already two Japanese armies in the Far East preparing to land, and if the Japanese reinforcements arrived and Nogi Noshinori's troops converged, their attack power would inevitably increase, and the battle would be even more difficult to fight.

Therefore, Brushinov felt that Russia could now try to kill or inflict heavy damage on Nogi Noshinori before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, as China had done in the past! (To be continued......)
