Little Warlord 541, Little Warlord Text Chapter 541: The Destruction of the 19th Division
August 11th was an unforgettable day for the 19th Division of the Soviet Red Army!
On this day, one of China's most elite armed forces appeared on the battlefield:
The Fuhrer Division of the Presidential Guards!
This force, armed to the teeth, with the full support of aircraft, artillery, and armored vehicles, launched wave after wave of attacks against the 19th Division of the Red Army.
The Red Army's positions were trembling, and the lives of the Red Army were disappearing one by one.
This is the law of the battlefield. When you are on the weaker side, there is only one path you face:
destroy!
Major General Eskif has done his best there. He desperately mobilized all the resources he could mobilize and tried his best to defend his position.
But the Chinese people’s advantages are too comprehensive!
Several positions had been destroyed by the enemy's crazy bombardment, and all the Red Army officers and soldiers on some positions were killed. The enemy captured the positions effortlessly.
By 3 p.m., the situation had become increasingly serious.
However, the main force of the Red Army's 19th Division, the Pososky Regiment, was in a precarious situation on the front line. The enemy seemed to have chosen this place as its main offensive position.
Posaski's calls for reinforcements flew to the division headquarters one after another. By 3:30, Posaski's repeated expressions on the phone showed that the situation had almost reached an irreversible point. Without reinforcements, the position would be very difficult.
It will soon be lost.
"Comrade Milov Pososki, in the name of the party, I ask you to stick to the position and not let the enemy take a step forward. This is your responsibility and your responsibility to the party! I will find a way to reinforce the troops.
Before reinforcements arrive, we must not lose another inch of our position. This is an order!" Eskif said sternly into the phone.
After putting down the phone, Eskife frowned tightly.
In the division headquarters, Chief of Staff Borschak and Political Commissar Okinets also looked very uneasy.
The situation is too serious. They all know the situation Pososky is facing. It is remarkable that they can persist until now and the position is still in his hands.
"If we don't send more reinforcements, Pososky may not be able to hold on any longer." Bolshak said worriedly: "Once his position is lost, our division headquarters will face a direct attack from the enemy. Comrade Division Commander
, we must find a way."
The solution? Eskiv smiled bitterly, did he still have troops in his hands?
Okinets said on the side: "I suggest that all non-combatants in the division be gathered immediately and reinforcements be given to Pososki immediately."
"Okay. I'll go..."
When Borshak said what he said, Okinets already rushed to say, "No, you and comrade division commander continue to command here, and let me take the comrades up in person."
Eskiff nodded: "Now, this is the only way. Comrade Political Commissar, I leave everything to you!"
"For victory!"
"For victory!"
...
"Why hasn't the main position been taken down yet?" Kurogie put down his telescope dissatisfied.
Transferred to the Führer Division, the young chief of staff Li Jiayu pointed to the front and said: "Most of the positions have been broken through by our army, except for the position of the Pososky Regiment. The defense there is very strong. We attacked several times, causing
Inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy..."
"What I want is not how many enemies to kill, what I want is a position!" Kurogane interrupted him coldly.
"Yes." Li Jiayu responded loudly.
As one of the first batch of cadets at the Rongxian Military Academy, Li Jiayu's position did not seem to be chief of staff. In his opinion, he wanted to lead troops on the front line like his classmates Rao Guohua and Xu Guozhang.
But now that you are sitting in this position, you can only do your job unconditionally!
"Master, I will personally go up and take command!"
Kurogie nodded: "I will transfer the final reserve group to you. Form a fist for me and tear apart the Russian defense line. I will destroy the Russian defense line by tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"yes!"
The young chief of staff's answer was so resounding...
...
Dozens of mortars pounded the enemy positions like hail of shells.
Groups of infantry attacked again.
Pososky knew that it would be difficult for him to continue to block the Chinese attack. He and his soldiers had tried their best.
"Comrade Pososki!"
Suddenly, the voice of political commissar Okinets came from the position.
Pososky stood up quickly and asked: "Comrade Political Commissar, why are you here in person?"
"I brought you reinforcements, Comrade Pososki!" Okinets said with a serious expression.
Pososky took a look and saw hundreds of soldiers standing there neatly. Some of them were staff officers and clerks of the division, some were signal corpsmen, cooks...
Pososki understood immediately that this was the last force the division commander could use.
"We must hold our position." Okinets said after asking about the situation on the battlefield: "We are very tired, but the enemy is also very tired..."
With a "boom", a shell exploded on the position.
The explosion of the bomb made Pososky swallow back what he originally wanted to say.
The enemy is not tired. They have an absolute and comprehensive firepower advantage. It is the Red Army soldiers who are really tired. But it is useless to talk to the political commissar like this.
The battle was going on in darkness, and big waves hit the Red Army's position one after another. As long as there was an enemy on the position, the big waves would never recede.
More than half of the reinforcements brought by Okinets were damaged by the enemy's first attack. Okinets was also completely frightened by the enemy's crazy artillery fire.
When he was at the division headquarters, he always thought that the enemy's firepower advantage was exaggerated. As long as there was a revolutionary spirit, any artillery advantage could be weakened.
But only by going to the battlefield in person can you experience all this.
"Comrade Political Commissar and Comrade Head, the enemy's position has been breached!"
Pososki suddenly became nervous. This is the most important position of the whole regiment! He picked up his pistol: "Comrade Political Commissar, please take command here for me. I will personally lead the troops to retake the position."
return!"
"Oh...okay..." Okinets replied absently.
Pososki led his troops and charged forward, braving the enemy's fiercest artillery fire.
He and his soldiers behaved very bravely, completely ignoring the enemy's firepower and rushing towards the position layer by layer.
The flames of the machine guns swept towards the enemy layer by layer, and countless Russians fell on the road of charge.
Pososki shouted there, trying his best to encourage his soldiers. Suddenly, his body froze there, and blood flowed down his chest...
On August 11, 1920, Stalin's loyal follower Pososky, commander of the 19th Division of the Red Army, was killed in action.
It is said that after Stalin heard the news of Pososky's death, he was so sad that he didn't eat for several days, just for the sake of being a small regiment leader.
Pososki's death caused the most fundamental change in the battlefield situation!
When Okinets heard the news of Pososki's death, the once calm Red Army political commissar suddenly became panicked.
He was even a little annoyed about why he took the initiative to ask for a fight and why he came to this damn front line.
Everyone was waiting for the order from the political commissar, but the political commissar locked himself in the headquarters and refused to come out.
The enemy's attack will not stop because of the opponent's commander, the final attack here has begun!
At 6 p.m., Okinets finally appeared in front of the officers, his face solemn:
"Comrades, you know the situation we are facing now better than I do. Continuing to fight will only continue to increase unnecessary casualties, so I decided to surrender to the enemy..."
"What?" everyone yelled at the same time.
They persisted here hard and fought bloody battles. Could it be that this was the result they were waiting for in the end?
Okinets wanted to try his best to persuade everyone: "Comrades, I am not afraid of life and death, but because of the needs of the revolution. We have temporarily failed, but we can still fight against the enemy..."
He kept chattering there, all he meant was that continuing to resist would be a dead end.
A Red Army company commander stood up, took off the gun from his waist and put it aside: "Comrade Political Commissar, fight or surrender, this is your choice. I obey your orders, but I also have the right to decide my fate.
Here, I feel shameful and disgusting, I feel unworthy of those comrades who sacrificed their lives, and I feel sad and angry for the sacrifice of comrade regiment leader."
At 6:30 pm on August 11, 1920, the political commissar of the 19th Division of the Red Army, Okinets, ordered the entire regiment to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese on the opposite side.
The consequences of Okinets' surrender were very serious.
This main position fell into the hands of the Chinese, cutting off the connections between the various positions of the 19th Division, and the headquarters of the 19th Division was directly exposed to Chinese artillery attacks.
At 9 o'clock in the night, Black Iron concentrated all its artillery fire and launched an artillery bombardment on the headquarters of the 19th Division of the Red Army.
When morning came, sporadic gunshots were still ringing, but there was a terrible silence on the battlefield.
The 19th Division was completely defeated.
While cleaning the battlefield, Chinese soldiers worked hard to find two corpses, one belonging to Major General Eskiv, the commander of the 19th Division, and the other belonging to Bolshak, the chief of staff of the 19th Division.
They died under Chinese artillery fire.
In fact, until their death, they did not know that their trusted political commissar Okinets, who once had an extremely firm revolutionary will, had betrayed their cause.
This is just the beginning, more and more Russians will surrender in the future!
