Six-six-eight threw down a few bundles of paper

The sun is pouring on the earth, but it can no longer make people feel warm, and the fishing songs can no longer be heard in the sea breeze blowing from the Caspian Sea. 【 I want: super fast update 】

The war horse stood still, slashing its iron hooves from time to time, as if it was still recalling its majestic posture across the battlefield, but this was not the place where it galloped, because the "iron boxes" emitting black smoke in the distance had blocked the road.

The rice fields have been crushed, the houses have become black scorched earth, the hillsides that used to be full of fresh huā have been covered with large and small craters, corpses are lying in piles beside the trenches, blood flowing down the trenches, although there are occasionally some Chinese soldiers in khaki military uniforms, but most of them are the heroic robes of the past.

The whole town was melted by artillery fire, and there were countless such towns from the beginning of the war, but here it was different because this was Salliane, the first battle of Bōs Tabriz into Russia, followed by Baku, an important strategic city in the Russian Caucasus.

Sitting on his horse, Budyonny's snort was only bitter and helpless, as a member of the Don Cossack cavalry corps, he and his troops rushed here from Kiev after the battle of Mesopotamia to make up for the loss of the mobile forces of the Baku side army group after the loss of the Caucasian Cossack cavalry.

But when he arrived, he found that the course and pattern of the war had completely changed, and General Badaev of the Caucasus Army gradually regained its disadvantage, and was turning into a victory, and the Battle of Erzurum changed color in an instant, because of the defeat in Mesopotamia, Hua successfully gained a foothold and not only conquered Hamadan, but also extended its power to Tabriz for the first time, and crossed the border line all the way to here 8 days ago.

The war was fought hard!

It has been eight days since the fighting began on 15 May, and no one knows why the reinforcements stationed in Baku, which should have arrived three days earlier, have not arrived until now.

Budyonny's Don Cossack Corps was cavalry, but when he came here, he found that the war had given way to cold steel, and under the impact of the tanks and armored vehicles of the opposite squadron, the cavalry turned into bloody mud before they could swing their swords.

This is not a war, it is a massacre at all!

But now it is necessary to persevere, because Baku is so important, even though he is only a captain company commander, he understands the value of this Caucasian pearl.

Budyonny sighed and led his horse to the rear.

The company camp is on the banks of the Kura River, blocking the only road to the Sagliane Bridge, so this has also become the key to the battle, as many as 3,000 soldiers have already paid their lives here, Budyonny does not know what to think above, if he must have ordered to blow up the bridge first, so that even if the Chinese seize here, there is no way to cross the river.

Just in time for lunch, Budyonny took out his lunch box from his bag and squeezed into the middle of the long line, even though he was a company commander, and officially he was loved by the soldiers. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

"Paul, how's our cannon doing?" Budyonny lined up in the ranks, and the gunners at the front of the line, seeing that it was the company commander, the artillerymen immediately saluted: "Captain, rest assured, it is much better than me." ”

"That's good." Budyonny was talking and laughing with everyone, and that was the only way he could boost morale.

The line of soldiers in front of him was getting shorter and shorter, and Budyonny craned his neck only to see a few leaf-like sticks floating on the cauldron, and every time the spoon was stirred, a few grains of rice would rise in the thin soup.

Looking at the soldiers holding lunch boxes next to him with yellowish faces, he felt uncomfortable, these are good soldiers, even if there are no war horses, they are better than ordinary infantry, they are not afraid of death, they are willing to pay for this country, but the country can't even guarantee food.

"Damn, it's going to be a long time before I don't want to eat these things anymore!"

After a soldier in front of him took a sip of the lunch box, he fell to the ground hard, his actions caused a burst of restlessness, many soldiers were angry and scolded, and pointed the finger at Baku behind, because there was enough food there, but for some reason it was never delivered, and even reinforcements were not sent, but they were tormented in the war.

"Malov, don't do that."

"No, company commander, I've had enough, why is this!" Malov's heart was already cold, and he shouted: "We are bleeding and dying, but look at what we eat? ”

"Do you know Teucer? Do you know why he died? Because he saw canned beef in the Chinese truck that caught fire, he rushed in and tried to bring those cans back for everyone to eat, and was caught on fire. Malov dropped his gun, holding his head with tears in his eyes.

The soldiers looked at the emotional Malov blankly, their faces were full of helplessness and bitterness, the war has been two years, no one knows how long such a day will take, what makes them heartbroken is that they are killing the enemy in blood, but their families are starving, is such a war still necessary?

Budyonny scooped up a spoonful of vegetable soup and walked to Malov's side: "But we must live." ”

"No, I'd rather be hit by a bullet than suffer like this!" Malouf pushed Budyonny away and wanted to leave without looking back, but as soon as he took a step, several planes suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Enemy planes!"

"Get cover, Malov, come back, come back!" Budyonny immediately recognized that the planes in his head were from China, because they had come to reconnoiter many times before, and thankfully these were long-range reconnaissance planes that had taken off from Hamadan, not bombers as the fighters who had fled from the front line had said, but this still caused concern because they had all seen such planes drop small bombs.

The soldiers scattered in terror, and only Malov stood in the center as if frantically shouting: "Come on, if you have bombs, throw them here!" ”

Seeing that Malouf did not listen to his command, Budyonny wanted to rush up and give the guy a few punches, but before he could get out of cover, one of the planes had already passed overhead, and a black dot suddenly burst out from under the belly.

Looking at the black dot flying straight towards him, Maroff not only did not feel afraid, but felt a sense of relief, and when he saw the black dot getting closer and closer, his pupils suddenly began to dilate, until he lost his luster.

Because he saw that the black dot actually dispersed in the air, turning into countless flying pieces of paper, which were sprinkled all over the town like snow.

What is it?

Gunner Paul picked up the piece of paper that had fallen at his feet, and when he read the words on it, his face changed color suddenly!

The Hermitage in St. Petersburg was breached by the revolutionary army, the whereabouts of the tsar are unknown, a large number of troops on the European front in Kiev began to revolt and disperse, and the important thing is that Baku, which they have been desperately protecting for 8 days, has been declared undefended, because the 30,000 troops stationed there have been transferred to suppress the rebels!

Is this true?

The news brought by the pieces of paper began to spread among the soldiers like crazy, everyone was at a loss, the Tsar they were desperately protecting had disappeared, uprisings and revolutions broke out all over Russia, and the smoke of civil war had begun to fill!

Why is this happening?!

Budyonny clutched the piece of paper in a daze, he finally understood why the reinforcements who should have arrived had not arrived for a long time, and why the commander above had not ordered the bridge to be blown up, because no one wanted to continue the battle at all, only his own troops who were deep in the front line and could not care about the outside world were still in the bones.

"Company commander?"

"Captain, us."

When the telegraph operator finally contacted the country through the radio station for half an hour to confirm the news, the soldiers gathered around him, looking at the confused faces in front of him, but with a hurry to go home, Budyonny did not know what to choose.

At this moment, a rapid exclamation suddenly sounded outside the bunker: "The Captain countrymen rushed up again!" ”

Budyonny quickly walked out of the command post, and as soon as he raised the binoculars, his face stiffened suddenly, only to see a dozen Chinese tanks slowly approaching here, followed by thousands of bent soldiers.

With just one glance, Budyonny knew that he was in big trouble this time, because these obviously experienced veterans who were rushing up on the opposite side deliberately left the streets behind, followed the two wings of the tank to change to one house after another to occupy it, and then cleared and destroyed it little by little, and advanced over the wall and over the house.

As a result, the fire of the other company stationed in the front, which was mainly concentrated in the middle of the street, could not hit the Chinese soldiers at all, but was constantly destroyed by the tanks, and explosions and smoke spread from the front in an instant.

"Paul, aim for those tanks, machine gun crews, abandon the center and shoot at the flanks, and the others enter the position and prepare for battle." Budyonny drew his gun and shouted to warn everyone, but halfway through the shouting, he found that there was no answer in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw that the soldiers were all standing in place, one by two.

Malov shook his head and put down his gun.

Paul crouched down and lowered his gun.

One, two, three.

More and more Russian soldiers stepped out of their positions, put down their guns and raised their hands, and the situation from home made them no longer have the heart to fight.

"Company commander, they promised, as long as we put down our guns, we can go back." The company's staff officer rehanded the piece of paper to Budyonny, then pointed into the distance.

Budyonny turned his head to see that the tanks were slowing down, as the companies in front had surrendered and walked out of the trenches and bunkers, and then they were approaching him like a herd of driven sheep.

After 8 days of hard fighting, the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division, with the help of a pile of papers, seized Baku ahead of the Ottoman army, took this fertile pearl of the Caucasus into its arms, and more than 30,000 front-line soldiers of the Caucasian Army, including Budyonny, surrendered.

Unexpectedly, just a day later, they were allowed to leave with their weapons.

On May 24, two cavalry divisions and two mechanized infantry divisions of the Northwest China Front surrounded Omsk, and the 50,000 Russian troops stationed there surrendered after a day of resistance.

On the same day, Yingjun, who had arrived in St. Petersburg, suddenly stormed Kronstadt, the headquarters of the Russian naval fleet, and took control of thirteen warships, including four Gangut-class battleships and two Maria-class battleships.

On the 26th, the Mensheviks, ahead of Lenin's Bolsheviks, united with the Russian Duma and St. Petersburg to proclaim the establishment of the Russian Provisional Government.

On the same day, the Russian royalists, led by Prince Subōv and Denikin, and many other tsarist generals, expressed in Kiev that they would not accept the leadership of the Provisional Government, began to mobilize domestic troops, and demanded that the Bolsheviks and Lenin hand over Nicholas II.

The Russian Civil War is on the verge of breaking out!
