The calls of the officers were loud, although they sounded a bit chaotic. The defense lines were broken through one after another, and the Russian resistance changed from tenacious at first to chaos later.
Although weapons are not everything that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield, they are ultimately a very reliable force.
And the Chinese have clearly demonstrated this advantage to the fullest.
The planes tirelessly passed over the Red Army positions again and again, and then poured a large number of bombs on the Russians. With the explosions, the Russian positions became a huge tomb.
The general attack launched on the 16th caused the Red Army to lose more than 20,000 men in one day.
Nearly half of them were killed, and a large number of the rest became prisoners.
The losses were huge, and Frunze's order was also resolute: all possible means must be used to resolutely delay the enemy's attack, at any sacrifice, at any price!
Stalin, who was becoming more and more confident in the struggle for power within the party, also sent a telegram to express his gratitude to Commander Frunze in the Kdunsk region and all the Red Army soldiers for their great efforts, and at the same time asked all Red Army soldiers to
Fight to the end and eliminate all imperialism in Kdonsnoyarsk, and Moscow will provide the greatest help.
It is obviously unrealistic to "annihilate all imperialism in Kdomsnoyarsk", and it is even more impossible to talk about "Moscow will provide the greatest help".
Frunze knew very well that everything in Stalin's telegram was just a piece of cake to satisfy his hunger. Kdunsnoyarsk could only rely on itself. As night came, the Chinese offensive not only did not decrease, but became more frequent.
stand up.
Battalions of Chinese soldiers, under the cover of tanks, continued to use the night to launch vicious attacks on the Russian positions one after another.
Zorochevsky suffered a heavy blow and lost his most elite 9th Army... He vented all his grievances on Meretskov. And of course Commander Frunze.
He believed that if Frunze had not appointed a young man as the commander of the 9th Army without consulting him, his army would not have suffered such a disastrous failure.
All responsibilities must be borne by Frunze and Meretskov!
Now, the few troops he has in hand are being attacked by the Chinese. Without a group of heavy weapons, it is completely difficult to stop the Chinese attack.
Just when Zorochevsky was extremely anxious, the Chinese took the initiative to find him.
The representative of Liu Zhaocheng of the Chinese First Army... A lieutenant colonel in the Chinese Army conveyed the meaning of their commander Liu Zhaocheng. The battle had not been of much significance so far. He suggested that Zorochevsky use peaceful methods.
, led his troops to join the ranks of restoring order in Russia.
Liu Zhaocheng very cleverly avoided the embarrassing word "surrender", which made Zorochevsky feel a lot more psychologically comfortable.
At the same time, Liu Zhaocheng also promised that once Zorochevsky chose a peaceful approach... he would serve as the commander-in-chief of the first group army to be established by the White Guards... and the Chinese side would provide them with the necessary weapons and equipment. His captured subordinates were
They will also be released if they wish, and will be added to the First Army and continue to serve as Zorochevsky's subordinates.
This suggestion is full of energy.
Victory? It is already an impossible task for the Soviet Red Army. If China can really keep its promise, then "peaceful means" may not be a good choice.
Zorochevsky was a little embarrassed. After all, he was still a Bolshevik and had the trust of Comrade Stalin. Once betrayed, it was hard to say what impact it would have on himself and his family.
"Our commander knows that Moscow's punishment for betrayers will be very severe." The lieutenant colonel seemed to see through Zorochevsky's mind: "So our agents have secretly taken your family from Moscow.
Come out, I think they are looking forward to meeting you!"
Zorochevsky was surprised...Have the Chinese taken out their family members? If that was the case, then he would be relieved of many worries.
"I believe you will make the right choice." The lieutenant colonel smiled and said: "If you are determined...then our artillery and aircraft will give you the greatest cover, and our infantry will provide reinforcements.
Zorochevsky pondered for a long time.
He paid attention to the expressions of his chief of staff and several senior officers. Although they were silent, it was obvious that their eyes had told him a lot.
The fate of defeat is irreversible, and the soldiers may not want to fight anymore.
The cluster that suffered a disastrous defeat could no longer even stop the Chinese's next attack.
It's over, it's time to end all this terrible nightmare.
On November 17, 2009, the commander of the Zorochevsky Group of the Soviet Red Army, who had suffered constant setbacks in previous battles, sent a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief of the Kdonsnoyarsk Theater Frunze and
Moscow: Due to the heavy casualties of this cluster, ammunition is almost running out. To ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers, they will no longer continue fighting, but choose to withdraw from the battlefield and work hard to maintain peace in Russia.
Most of the soldiers chose to follow Zorochevsky, but some determined Bolsheviks chose to resist and attacked those who surrendered.
But such resistance appears to be very weak.
The Chinese quickly dispatched aircraft and artillery to bomb the Russians who were unwilling to join the surrender, and sent divisions and brigades to meet Zorochevsky and those who surrendered.
This was the highest-ranking Soviet military officer to surrender in the Battle of Kdonsnoyarsk. This also completely shocked the Red Army soldiers who were still fighting in Kdonsnoyarsk.
Frunze remained silent after receiving the news. Perhaps he had already known that such a situation would occur, and not only Zorochevsky, but more people would choose such a path in the future.
one.
He did not want to blame Zorochevsky, nor did he want to blame any of the surrenderers. When the fate of defeat was irreversible, this may be their best choice.
The artillery fire outside continued to sound, and Frunze's heart was falling into darkness.
The 17th is the day that determines the victory or defeat of the Kdonsnoyarsk Conference.
The Chinese offensive was gradually strengthening, and a large number of positions fell into the hands of the attackers after only a short period of resistance. A large number of Red Army soldiers were killed or captured.
Frunze also threw the last of his reserve troops into the battlefield, but the battlefield was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring lives one after another.
Moscow has finally begun to pay attention to the tension. Once the battle of Kdonsnoyarsk fails, the enemy will threaten Moscow's security.
They originally thought that even if the enemy could gain an advantage, considering the huge Red Army strength in Kdonsnoyarsk, they could hold on until the arrival of winter, but now it seems that this goal is obviously not possible.
However, reinforcements and the best opportunity to break out of the siege have been lost. Kdomsnoyarsk was surrounded like a big iron barrel. It is an exaggeration to say that not even a fly can fly out.
The intervening country's battlefield observation team has even prepared champagne to celebrate the upcoming victory.
This was a genius battle, accomplished by a group of genius Chinese generals.
The Russians were lucky. Before the Red elements were about to win, the Chinese appeared on the battlefield in time, reversing the imminent demise of the White Guards in one fell swoop.
God bless China!
Throughout the whole day on the 17th, the Chinese and Russian coalition forces continued to expand their victories, and they had to use as little time as possible to end the battle.
They welcome surrender, no matter what name they use, surrenderers, or "peacemakers". At least in this way, the advancement of the attack will be much easier!
There were many, many Russian prisoners, which forced the Chinese side to allocate part of its army to guard these prisoners.
It is not reassuring to hand it over to the White Guards. It will only further strengthen the strength of the White Guards. This is not what China wants to see. These prisoners can do many things, such as digging mines, etc., which are quite good for free.
labor.
Of course, there are some violations of some conventions, but China's President Wang Hengyue firmly denies this, and the intervening countries are not very concerned about the whereabouts of these prisoners of war.
The victor should have some privileges. As for the human rights of the prisoners, it is not within the scope of consideration at the moment. On the 17th, the Red Army lost tens of thousands more people, which caused the Red Army's strength on the Kdunsnoyarsk battlefield to increase rapidly.
is decreasing.
The battle lines are beginning to show signs of collapse.
Frunze felt painful in his heart at this time. He even wanted to order all the soldiers to put down their weapons like Zorochevsky to save their lives. However, Frunze told himself that he must not do this.
We must be responsible to Moscow and the Bolsheviks!
But to stop the enemy's attack, we can only hope for a miracle, but it will never happen. The Red Army in Kdonsnoyarsk has been abandoned.
How much longer can we hold on? Frunze doesn't know. Maybe he will be completely defeated tomorrow, but as long as he is still here and can continue to direct the battle, he will never give up.
The plane buzzed by and dropped the bomb arrogantly. Amidst the explosions and flames, Frunze looked at it all helplessly and sadly.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a petrified statue!!.
