Age of Rebirth

General Kurygin opened his eyes tragically, smiled bitterly, and said: "Comrade Zier, look at the current situation, can my orders still reach the troops? Forget it, order the troops to fight on their own. Resist on the spot!"

Pausing for a moment, as if making the most difficult decision, General Kurykin’s voice was so hollow and lifeless, he said: “Also, make it clear to the officers at all levels that the military region headquarters will not stop the commanders of the troops. Surrender to the Chinese, taking into account the casualties of the soldiers!"

Chief of Staff Zirenenko turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Commander, you must not! Your words will disintegrate the morale of the army! Also, have you considered that once we issue such an order, What will Moscow think of us? Surrender on the battlefield is an unforgivable crime."

Lieutenant General Zirenenko still had hidden worries in his heart, but he did not expressly stated that the way the All-Soviet Soviet Union treated the families of surrendered enemy generals was used. I am afraid that after this order was issued, Beria, the murderous demon king, would definitely send Ku General Lei Jin and his relatives and family members were all arrested and put in prison. It is not necessary to kill them all and exterminate them. Beria can do it.

Even if you want to surrender, you don’t need to say it clearly, just stop it. General Kurykin smiled dryly and said: "Zirenko, I understand what you mean. Even if there is no such order, the Cheka will not spare us. Dear ones! We can’t get away with being captured or killed in battle, or being accused of humiliating the country, and you know a thing or two about the methods used to punish defeated generals in the country. If so, why don’t you give the soldiers a way out?” [

Yang Ketian put all his troops into his hands and launched an attack on the Soviet army for more than an hour. The three tank brigades of the Battelle armored force chasing behind, the three mechanized infantry brigades directly under the corps, and the Liu Hongzhang and Qiaomanshan combat groups on the left and right flanks also They arrived one after another, with more than 20 troops, and immediately invested in the encirclement and suppression of the Soviet army.

Surrounded on all sides, surrounded the Soviet army like an iron barrel, and fought until the dawn of October 5. More than [-] Soviet troops were divided into several small pieces that were not connected to each other. The strong north wind and the cold air of Siberia, Sweeping across the northern grasslands of Outer Mongolia, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees, and the sun rose. The bright sunshine could not dispel the haze in the hearts of Soviet soldiers.

What is colder than the weather is the hearts of the Soviet soldiers, who ran all night aimlessly, sprinting left and right, amidst the flying guns and raindrops, and there were flames from the muzzles of the soldiers of the Independent Division. At dawn, the Soviet soldiers who were beaten dizzily found sadly that they were still surrounded by the iron walls of the independent division. The Soviet soldiers who no longer had the slightest fighting spirit wisely chose to raise their hands and surrender.

In the northern part of Outer Mongolia, south of the "Selenge River", Tang Qiuli just woke up from sleep in the early morning of October [-]st. This night, accompanied by the sound of gunfire on the battlefield, he slept peacefully and soundly. Now, there is no suspense in the battle. The destruction of the remnants of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region is only a matter of time, and there will be no more accidents to bother me.

I have already done what I should do, and the rest is up to the commanders at all levels. On the battlefield, the sound of fierce battles and gunfire became the best lullaby. In the haze of falling asleep, He also thought to himself: "Without the sounds on the battlefield, maybe I still can't fall asleep!"

Sure enough, no one came to disturb him that night. After Tang Qiuli got up, he stretched comfortably, washed up briefly, and arrived at the headquarters.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe seemed to have stayed up all night, his face was a little tired, and his eyes were shining with joy. When he saw Tang Qiuli coming in, he went forward and said with a smile: "Seeing that the teacher is sleeping soundly, I didn't bother you, I woke up so early, I thought you would sleep for a while!"

Tang Qiuli said with concern: "You haven't slept all night, pay attention to your body, Yuhe, what's going on on the battlefield?"

Zhao Yuhe said: "Received a telegram from Chief of Staff Yang, General Kurygin, commander of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District, has decided to surrender to our army, but he made a request."

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "A request? The defeated general, what request can we talk about? What request?"

Zhao Yuhe also laughed, and said: "Kurekin proposed that although he ordered the troops to surrender, he must ensure that the Soviet soldiers who put down their arms will not be abused. Also, in order to reflect the principle of reciprocity, he must cooperate with the independent division. The highest military officer, that is, you, the division commander, negotiate the specific matters of surrender face to face, and the officers of other independent divisions are not qualified!"

There was an extremely contemptuous smile on the corner of Tang Qiuli's mouth, but his tone was so cold that he said, "Equivalent? Qualifications? It's ridiculous. Surrounded by my 10,000+ army, what qualifications are you talking about?" On my behalf, Yang Ketian accepted the surrender of the Soviet army and told that Kurygin that I have no time and no interest in negotiating with him. If I want to surrender, it is a condition. If you mind, I will accompany you again and fight to the end!"

At [-] o'clock in the morning on October [-]st, the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District of the Soviet Union surrounded by the south bank of the "Selenge River", about ˉ people, were led by the commander, General Kurykin, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Zirenenko. , holding his hands high, crawled out of hiding places one by one, lined up with blank expressions, walked to the designated place with bare hands, and surrendered to the independent division troops.

General Kurykin and Chief of Staff Zirnenko, escorted by several soldiers, came before Yang Ketian.

Yang Ketian stood in front of the armored command vehicle and looked up and down. The two top Soviet commanders asked, "Are you Kurykin and Zirenenko?"

General Kurykin opened his empty eyes and looked at the young major general in surprise. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Your Excellency is General Tang Qiuli?"

Yang Ketian laughed, and replied: "You have misidentified the person, our division commander has no time to see you, I am Yang Ketian, the chief of staff of the East Command of the Independent Division, and I am ordered to accept your surrender! I also want to tell you that the one who blocked your retreat is my commander." troops!"

So far, the battle in northern Outer Mongolia, which lasted more than 30 days, ended with the annihilation of more than [-] troops from the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union. Looking at the four-way long column, the Soviet prisoners of war who were dressed in ragged clothes, looked dull, and moved mechanically, walking towards Kulun, the corners of their mouths slightly turned up, revealing a gratified smile.

A gust of cold wind blew by, lifted the corner of his army coat, and danced in the wind. Tang Qiuli's deep gaze, across the vast grassland, looked to the east, where Liu Tiehan commanded the Dongzhi troops, and another battle was going on . [

At around [-]:[-] am on October [-]st, Moscow, Kremlin, in the office of Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the Soviet Army’s General Staff, read a telegram to Stalin with a hollow voice, It was General Kurykin who sent it to the General Staff before he decided to surrender to the Independent Division. Seven or eight members of the Soviet Politburo were still sitting on the sofa against the wall in the office.

"As mentioned above, the troops of our Transcaucasus Military Region were encircled by the independent division troops on the south bank of the "Selenge River". There are less than 5 people, but the number of independent divisions surrounding us is more than [-], and they are already fighting again. For the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers, I am determined to order the troops to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese!"

"When laying down arms to the Chinese, there was something in my heart, and I couldn't vomit it. Initiating the Outer Mongolia War was the biggest mistake made by the High Command, and it was also the direct reason for the ruin of the Transcaucasus Military Region. Including Comrade Stalin, all of us misjudged the form and underestimated Tang Qiuli's strength and ability, which led to today's disastrous defeat. Personally, I don't want to face that Chinese Tang Qiuli in this life!"

Marshal Petroshilov finished reading for a long time. Stalin was like a sculpture, sitting stiffly on a high-backed chair, motionless and silent. The atmosphere in the office was so frozen and oppressive that it was chilling.

After a long time, Stalin said in a sleepy voice: "Kurekin surrendered? More than 30 troops, within [-] days, they were all wiped out?"

Marshal Petroshilov was sweating on his brow, trembling his lips, and replied: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, the troops of the Transcaucasus Military District have been wiped out!"

"!" Stalin slammed his palm on the large desk, "Can any of you tell me why this happened? Why?" The roaring roar echoed in the empty office. The committee members all stood up in unison, silent like a cicada.

Stalin looked at these members of the Politburo, who usually talked high-spirited and talked about theories, with flames of anger in their eyes, fists clenched tightly, and a sharp pain in their hearts. The troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region were wiped out in the Whose responsibility should it be for the south bank of the Lengge River?

If I seriously pursue it, I am afraid that I will be the first person to be responsible for the annihilation of the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region and the lives of 30 soldiers. There is no way to get rid of the responsibility. When making a decision, no one raised a clear objection. Regarding the Second Outer Mongolia War, he knew that it was in line with his own opinion.

If, at the beginning, there was a member of the Politburo who resolutely opposed it, he would have thought about it carefully, but Stalin himself had forgotten such a fact.

After the anti-revolutionary movement in the whole Soviet Union, in the Central Committee of the CPSU, the veterans in the party and the army who could wrestle with him and sing against him all went to follow the martyrs. Rise up against yourself?
