    Frunze was a little embarrassed. After the Chinese National Defense Force launched an attack on the Soviet Union, the Frunze Front and Moscow, which were confronting the Far East government forces, got the news at about the same time.  However, although Frunze was a little surprised by the results achieved by the Chinese at the beginning of the war, they did not take it too seriously.

    After all, the Chinese caught the Soviets by surprise. From this point of view, if the commander of the Chinese National Defense Force was Frunze, he could also achieve such results.  But don¡¯t forget that a war is not determined by victory in one or two battles. What¡¯s more, the Soviet Union is a large country with a vast territory and a large population. Just because the Chinese won the beginning of the war does not mean they can win the entire war. The Soviet Union  The loss of territory and the loss of troops have not reached the point of breaking the bones as a whole.  Relying on the depth of its vast territory and its endless war potential, Frunze firmly believed that the final victory belonged to the Soviets.

    When the war began, there were many generals in the Soviet Union who had the same views as Frunze. Almost no one thought that the Chinese's initial victory could be sustained.  As long as the Soviets react and mobilize powerful forces, it will be a matter of time before they defeat the Chinese.  Have you not seen the precedent of Napoleon's galloping across Europe and his final defeat in Russia?  Therefore, Frunze, who was on the front line, only paid attention to the Chinese attack and continued to devote most of his energy to fighting the Far East government forces. After all, the opponent he faced was the Far East puppet government. As for the Chinese, they would naturally  It is up to the wise Comrade Stalin to solve this problem.

    But who would have thought that the world was changing so fast. Just when Frunze was planning this big battle, preparing to eliminate the Far East government forces in front of them in one fell swoop, and then march straight into the Far East and attack China from behind, bad news came one after another.  One after another.

    The defeat of the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk was occupied by the Chinese, followed by Tyumen and Orenburg  Only one month into the war, the Soviets had lost large tracts of territory and hundreds of thousands of troops.  Especially after the failure of the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, the Chinese occupied the hub of the Siberian Railway. If Frunze cannot retreat from the Surgut line as soon as possible, his front army's retreat will be completely cut off, and he will be attacked from both sides.  The results can be imagined.

    After the news of the battle of Krasnoyarsk came, Frunze was shocked.  He immediately called a halt to the battle, which was almost ready, and began to gather troops and organize a withdrawal.  At this time, the Russian Far East government forces, which had been suppressed by Frunze, began to jump up and down like chicken blood, and frequently took the initiative to attack. It was obvious that they were trying to entangle Frunze and not give him a chance to retreat smoothly.  , delaying time.  In this way, the Chinese ** team can completely cut off the Frunze Front's retreat, then advance east and west, and eliminate it in one fell swoop.

    Of course, Frunze could see the enemy's intentions. For the safety of the large army, he decisively placed three infantry divisions in the east to block the attack of the Far East government troops.  At the same time, the retreat speed was accelerated, and Frunze even ordered in addition to necessary military supplies in order to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.  The remaining various material reserves, including the hoarded food, were ordered to be burned.

    On the day when the official withdrawal order was issued, all of Frunze's more than 400,000 troops began to retreat, except for the three infantry divisions that served as the rearguard.  It was simply not enough for so many people to retreat all at once. In order to ensure the speed of the troops, Frunze also ordered the collection of all vehicles in the nearby areas, and even the farmers' oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages were all collected for military use.  Of course, this measure was opposed by a large number of local people and even caused small riots.  but.  How could the unarmed common people be the opponents of the Red Army armed to the teeth?  As long as there was resistance during the requisition period, the various departments of the Red Army would suppress it without hesitation. Countless souls died at the gunpoint of the Red Army. Some troops even took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot, doing anything and causing public resentment.  pole.

    In Frunze¡¯s eyes, this is just a trivial matter.  He can use any means to achieve his goals on the battlefield.  Just like using human lives to train soldiers before, every life is just a number in his eyes.

    But even so, the retreat of the Frunze Front was not very smooth.  On the one hand, there are the continuous attacks by the Far East government forces, although Frunze arranged for the troops to be used as cannon fodder.  However, under this situation, the morale of the Far East government troops was high and their combat effectiveness soared. Compared with the troops serving as cannon fodder, although there were constant instigations from political commissars, the low morale was obvious.  Under the opponent's attack, they retreated steadily and were defeated. For this reason, Frunze could only add two more infantry divisions for reinforcements to ensure the safety of the large army.

    Secondly, although there are trains and various vehicles collected for the retreat of more than 400,000 troops, they are still far from meeting the needs.  Almost half of the troops could only move on their own feet. Not to mention the hardships along the way, they also encountered harassment from small groups of Far East government troops appearing from the north and south from time to time, which further affected their retreat speed.

    "Comrade Commander! The train is ready, please hurry upboarding!  "At the train station, Frunze stood on the platform, surrounded by armed guards. The carriages behind were full of heads. As he looked around, he saw countless soldiers scrambling to climb up the carriages. The carriages were already crowded.  It was so full of people that even the car door could not be closed, but there were still many soldiers who were trying to squeeze in to get out of here as early as possible and retreat to the rear. Some people climbed on the roof of the car and tied themselves tightly to the car with armed belts.  On the top, other people were hanging on both sides with their hands and feet holding on to the protrusions outside the carriage

    The carriage prepared for Frunze and some senior officers and political commissars was the first carriage. This place has been completely blocked by guards, and ordinary soldiers cannot get through at all.  Looking at the scene behind him, Frunze said nothing and turned away.

    "How is the situation in Surgut? Where did the Chinese attack?"

    "Surgut has been bombed by the Chinese Air Force since yesterday, but no Chinese Army ground troops have appeared. According to estimates, the smooth flow of the railway in Surgut can be guaranteed at least in the next few days, but  "A major general replied.

    "How many of our troops have withdrawn to Surgut?" Frunze asked, frowning.

    "If you include the last train, there should be about 60,000 troops arriving."

    Hearing this number, Frunze looked sad. 60,000 people may sound like a lot, but compared with the more than 400,000 front troops, it is not even one-sixth.  At this rate, it will take half a month to bring all the troops back, but can the Chinese and the Far East puppet government give him so much time?  Frunze had no idea at all.

    "How are the blocking troops doing?"

    "Reporting to Comrade Commander, the comrades in the army fought very tenaciously. They fully carried forward the revolutionary spirit. Under the call of Comrade Stalin, comrades"

    "I don't want to listen to such nonsense! Tell the truth!" Frunzhi interrupted the other party's gushing unhappily. The other party swallowed secretly, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The casualties are huge, the enemy's attack is very  It is so fierce that two division commanders have been killed. Almost half of the five divisions responsible for the mission have now been lost"

    "Where are their positions? Is the position still in our hands?"

    "The position is still there, Comrade Commander, and it is absolutely impossible for the troops to retreat without your order."

    Feeling a little more at ease, Frunze said: "Send a report to the commanders and soldiers, telling them that they must be firmly nailed there by me, not to retreat even a step, and must hold on for more than fifteen days. As long as they hold on for fifteen days, they will belong to the Soviet  hero!"

    "Yes! Comrade Commander, hold on for fifteen days! I will arrange for the dispatch of the report immediately."

    At this time, the locomotive sounded the air whistle, and it was time to drive. Frunze looked back again, and then led the generals straight into the carriage.

    A major retreat and pursuit began in Central and Western Siberia.  With the formal dispatch of troops by the Chinese, the Russian orthodox government, which had experienced several years of civil war, finally saw the dawn of revival.  The Baron, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, began to prepare after receiving the news that China had officially entered the war. When Frunze's troops began to retreat, he began the offensive tactics of beating the fallen dog.

    The Far East government forces, which were reinforced by the original troops and became their allies after the baptism of war, greatly increased their strength. They fought vigorously against the five Red Army divisions that were responsible for blocking. Moreover, the Baron continued to send small groups of troops to sneak into the enemy's rear to harass them.  , intercept to hold back Frunze.

    in this case.  The Baron did not advance rashly, but launched tactics with the purpose of killing a lot of people and delaying time.  Because he knew very well that as long as Frunze's troops were held back, waiting to join the Chinese National Defense Forces, and as long as the opponent's retreat was cut off, these enemies would face the result of annihilation.  Therefore, at this time, he does not need to use too many troops to consume, and victory will come soon.

    During the Frunze withdrawal.  Thousands of miles away, somewhere on the outskirts of Krasnoyarsk, this place was originally the garrison barracks of Krasnoyarsk. After the Chinese troops occupied it, they used two reorganized divisions to search for the remaining Red Army troops after the battle.  , when all enemies have been eliminated.  After the city returned to calm, most of the Chinese National Defense Forces gradually withdrew from the city, except for a regiment of troops and military police stationed in the city.  As for the original Red Army barracks, they were basically converted into prisoner-of-war camps. As for the other barracks, including this one, after discussions with the group army, it was decided to become a temporary place for the released prisoners of the labor camp.  It was no longer appropriate for these people to stay in the horrific labor camps. With the exposure of the labor camps, reporters from all over the world rushed in like flies smelling meat, trying to get valuable reports as soon as possible.

    This military camp was converted into a shelter?, housing nearly half of the released labor prisoners. Due to these people's long-term malnutrition and injuries, the Chinese side specially set up hospitals and other facilities in the shelter for them, and allocated a large amount of food, medicine and other supplies.

    ¡°I¡¯m getting milk! I¡¯m getting bread!¡±

    With a shout, the reform-through-labor prisoners who were resting in the barracks walked out of the room in surprise and lined up in an orderly manner to receive the food.  Ten minutes later, the first batch of people who had received the food returned to the barracks one after another. An old man in his 60s with a gray beard returned to the house with the food he had received in his arms. He walked to the innermost bed and  There was a young man lying on the bed. The young man was wrapped in gauze and looked very injured.

    "Child, this is your share." The old man approached and gently placed half of the food on the head of his bed. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and took his hand and sighed: "Poor child, God has not abandoned us.  The nightmare is over, everything will be fine in the future! Damn the Soviets! Damn the revolution! Damn Stalin! Damn the Red Army, these devils should all go to hell!"

    At this time, the young man opened his eyes and looked at the kind old man with confused and complicated eyes, gnashing his teeth and cursing, and felt all kinds of things in his heart.  And this young man was none other than Zhukov, who had been imprisoned before. Fortunately, he did not die in the bombing, but he was seriously injured by the guards. He was later beaten on the spot by labor prisoners who had not had time to send him to the labor camp.  Placed here.  (To be continued.
