Beiyang 1917

() Trotsky was obviously a bit embarrassed. Ulyanov did not approve of all the besieged troops taking the initiative to be prisoners of the Volga Federation. This was a bit beyond the expectations of the founder of the Soviet Russian Red Army. Obviously, Ulyanov Comrade Husband still regards the struggle with Kolchak as a life-and-death relationship in his heart, and he has 100% trust in the Volga Federation. He is afraid that the besieged troops will not be able to return if they enter the Volga Federation’s prisoner-of-war camp. Once this happens , not only dampened morale, but also set an absolute bad example!

"Vladimir Ilyich, I have thought about it again and again, and I feel that the most urgent thing is not to let the besieged troops fall into Kolchak's hands. Pavlov, Timoshenko and Tkachov are all loyal The brave Bolsheviks are very good commanders of the Red Army, we have the responsibility and obligation to liberate them from the current predicament, of course, we cannot order the troops to surrender to the enemy, such an order cannot be issued at any time!"$ . .

Then Trotsky changed the topic, "But the Volga Federation is currently choosing to be neutral, or we are a not-so-friendly friendly country and neighbor, so I still agree with Comrades Sverdlov and Zinoviev. Russian Central Yang should approve the request made by the Front Enemy Committee of the Volga Front regarding the current situation on the southern front, agree that the besieged troops can enter the demilitarized buffer zone as appropriate, lay down their weapons and become a member of the Volga Federation civilian battalion!"

"Zhong Yang should send People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin to contact the Volga Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible, asking them to ensure the personal safety and daily food and logistics supply of all our personnel who enter the demilitarized buffer zone and put down their weapons, and as soon as possible Reach an agreement on the screening and repatriation of our personnel, and then repatriate! As for the town of Bazar Nesezgan, it can be used as a special case, and the town within a radius of ten kilometers is designated as a new non-military buffer zone!" . .

"Comrade Chairman, members of the Central Committee, Comrade Chicherin, in fact, we still have to pray that the Volga Federation is willing to accept our request, otherwise, the besieged troops on the southern front will have no other way out except to burn with stones!" Lotsky's tone was quite heavy!

The leaders of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia who were waiting anxiously in the Kremlin conference room finally got the latest reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Volga Federation from Chicherin, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs who hurried in through the door. Lin Yang's hand that was writing the telegram even trembled a little, his goatee was slightly raised, his voice was hoarse, and the tone of his voice almost broke down in tears.

"Comrades... Good news! The Volga Federation has agreed to designate a new demilitarized buffer zone within a ten-kilometer radius of the town of Bazar Nesezgan. Comrade Alexander Nikolaevich Tkachov and his The rest of the 41st Infantry Division can escape the catastrophe!"

As a veteran diplomat and Soviet Russia's second People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs after Trotsky, Chicherin was ordered to go to the telecommunications room to personally urge to send an urgent telegram to the Volga Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs for consultations. The taste is quite bitter, and the pressure is huge and unsure.

Anyone can see that Moscow and the Volga Front Army are just delaying their troops. The purpose is to be under the siege of Kolchak's 4 cavalry divisions. If the 41st Infantry Division fails to break through smoothly, it is likely to be wiped out by the White Guards. , Curve to save the country, use the umbrella of the Volga Federation to rescue the besieged troops of the Soviet Red Army!

"Is there still time? Just now, the former enemy headquarters of the Volga Front transferred an urgent telegram from the besieged 41st Infantry Division. Gidis sent a cavalry detachment northward to rescue the siege. The encirclement of the division, but the breakout of the two troops failed completely. The cavalry detachment commanded by Ivan Fedorovich Fedko lost five companies, and the 6st infantry division lost another battalion. Now the Don Cossacks The 2st and 5nd Cavalry Divisions have returned to the encirclement of Bazar Nesezgan Town, once the enemy launches a general attack, the rest of the Cavalry Detachment and the 41st Infantry Division will be wiped out by the enemy!"

Sverdlov, the People's Commissar of the People's Committee of the Soviet Union, a member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, a member of the Politburo, and the Secretary of the Secretariat, who is also the commander of the Volga Military Region and the Front Army, rushed after Chicherin and asked, "This guy has Still holding the latest emergency telegram from the Volga Front Army just sent by Dzerzhinsky!

It stands to reason that whether it is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Supreme Military Council, there are a bunch of confidential secretaries and communications staff officers who can handle telegrams, but the recent oppressive atmosphere in the Kremlin conference room made Chicherin also Yes, Dzerzhinsky or not, more often than not, he personally supervises the radio station in the confidential room and waits for a call back.

Over time, in the large conference room and war room of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia, Chicherin, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, and Dzerzhinsky, Chairman of the Cheka, tended to be reduced to running errands and hiding at leisure.

"Is there enough time? I'm afraid that if the troops of the Volga Federation cross the battlefield and rush to the town of Bazar Nesezgan, the day lily will be cold... The cavalry troops of the Volga Federation only entered the non-military forces after 6 o'clock this morning. Buffer zone? Whether it is from the direction of Syzran or Simbirsk, even if the cavalry wants to rush to the town of Bazar Nesezgan, it will not take half a day?"

The person who spoke was Bukharin, the People's Commissar of Propaganda of the Soviet Union, Central Committee Member of the Soviet Union, and editor-in-chief of the party's organ "Pravda". , it’s a bit of a posture of watching the fire from the other side, and I don’t even forget to keep up with one sentence,

"I said, members of the Central Committee, comrades, in case the Volga Federation and Kolchak reached a tacit agreement, the main force of the White Guard cavalry wiped out our cavalry detachment and the 41st infantry division before the ground troops of the Volga Federation entered Bazar If the town of Nesezgan accepts the non-military buffer zone, then we will lose our wife and lose our army, and we will lose money inside and out!"

Although Bukharin's words sound ugly, it may not be impossible. The town of Bazar Nesezgan is nearly 70 kilometers away from Kuznetsk in the south, and more than 80 kilometers away from the border of the demilitarized buffer zone in the east. Well, the Volga Federation sent mechanized troops to be transported by trucks, and it was impossible to reach the battlefield in less than two hours. In case Kolchak's White Guards made a time difference and launched a general offensive ahead of time, let alone two hours, one hour would be able to destroy the town. All the rest of the besieged Soviet Red Army will be wiped out!
