    General Kurekin opened his eyes sadly, smiled bitterly, and said: "Comrade Jier, look at the current situation, can my order still be conveyed to the troops? Forget it, order the troops to fight on their own.  Resist on the spot!¡±

    After a pause, as if he was making the most difficult decision, General Kulykin's voice was as hollow as a trace of life, and said: "Also, make it clear to officers at all levels that the military district headquarters does not prevent the commanders of various units from  Surrender to the Chinese while taking into account the casualties of the soldiers!¡±

    Chief of Staff Zernenko was shocked and said hurriedly: "Comrade Commander, you must not! Your words will destroy the morale of the army! Also, have you considered that once we issue such an order, Moscow will do anything  Do you think surrendering on the battlefield is an unforgivable crime?"

    Lieutenant General Zernenko still had hidden worries in his heart, which he did not express clearly. If the All-Soviet Counterrevolutionary Committee treated the families of surrendered enemy generals, I am afraid that after this order is issued, Beria, the murderous devil, will definitely take the Ku  General Lei Jin and his relatives and family members were all taken to prison and killed. It was not impossible to eradicate them all. Beria could do it.

    Even if you want to surrender, you don't have to say it clearly, just don't stop it. General Kulykin smiled dryly and said: "Zernenko, I understand what you mean. Even if there is no such order, the Anti-Revolutionary Committee will not spare us."  My dear! No matter whether we are captured or killed in battle, we cannot escape the charge of humiliating the country by losing our troops. You know something about the domestic methods of punishing defeated generals. In that case, why not give the soldiers a way out? "

    Yang Ketian devoted all his troops and launched an attack on the Soviet army for more than an hour. The three tank brigades of the Battelle Armored Corps, the three mechanized infantry brigades of the directly affiliated corps, and the Liu Hongzhang and Qiao Manshan combat groups on the left and right wings were also pursued.  More than 200,000 troops arrived one after another and immediately devoted themselves to encircling and annihilating the Soviet army.

    Surrounded on all sides, the Soviet army was surrounded like an iron barrel. Until the dawn of October 1st, more than 50,000 Soviet troops were divided into countless small pieces that were not connected to each other. The strong north wind, carrying the cold air of Siberia,  Sweeping across the entire northern grassland of Outer Mongolia, the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees. The sun rose and the bright sunshine could not dispel the haze in the hearts of the Soviet soldiers.

    What is colder than the weather is the hearts of Soviet soldiers. Amid the flying shells and raindrops of bullets, they ran aimlessly and hit right and left all night long. Wherever they arrived, they were filled with flames from the muzzles of the independent division soldiers.  , at dawn, the Soviet soldiers who were beaten dizzy sadly found that they were still in the encirclement surrounded by iron walls of the Independent Division troops. The Soviet soldiers who no longer had the slightest fighting spirit wisely chose to surrender.

    In the northern part of Outer Mongolia, south of the Selenge River, in the early morning of October 1st, Tang Qiuli just woke up from his sleep. That night, accompanied by the sound of guns and cannons on the battlefield, he slept peacefully and soundly. The battle  There is no longer any suspense. The destruction of the remaining troops of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District is only a matter of time. No more surprises will disturb me.

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

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

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe seemed to have been awake all night, his face looked a little tired, and his eyes were shining with joy. When he saw Tang Qiuli coming in, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Seeing that the teacher is sleeping soundly, there is no need to  Excuse me, I got up so early, I thought you would sleep a little longer!"

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

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

    Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Request? A defeated general, what demands can we discuss? What demands?"

    Zhao Yuhe also smiled and said: "Kurekin proposed that although he ordered the troops to surrender, he must ensure that the Soviet soldiers who laid down their weapons would not be abused. Also, in order to reflect the principle of reciprocity, he must cooperate with the independent division  The highest military commander, the division commander, is not qualified to negotiate the specific matters of surrender in person. Officers from other independent divisions are not qualified!"

    There was a smile of extreme contempt on the corner of Tang Qiuli's mouth, but his tone was extremely cold, and he said: "Equal? ??Qualifications? It's really ridiculous. I am surrounded by an army of more than 200,000 people. How can we talk about qualifications?  Let Yang Ketian accept the surrender of the Soviet army on my behalf and tell that Kurekin that I have no time and no interest in negotiating with him. If I want to surrender, I will do so unconditionally.Yes, if you want to bargain, ask him if he has the capital. I don¡¯t mind staying with him until the end!  "

    At about 8 o'clock in the morning on October 1, the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District troops, consisting of about 100 people, surrounded on the south bank of the Selenge River, under the leadership of Commander General Kulykin and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Zernenko, held high  Holding hands, they climbed out of their hiding places, lined up with dull expressions, walked to the designated location with bare hands, and surrendered to the independent division troops.

    General Kulykin and Chief of Staff Zernenko, escorted by several soldiers, arrived in front of Yang Ketian.

    Yang Ketian stood in front of the armored command vehicle and looked up and down. The two top commanders of the Soviet army asked: "Are you Kulykin and Zernenko?"

    General Kurekin opened his empty eyes and looked at the young major general in confusion. His eyes were full of complex emotions and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this you General Tang Qiuli?"

    Yang Ketian laughed and replied: "You have recognized the wrong person. Our division commander does not have time to see you. I am Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the East Point of the Independent Division. I have been ordered to accept your surrender! I also want to tell you that the one blocking your retreat is my command.  troops!"

    At this point, the battle in northern Outer Mongolia, which lasted for more than 20 days, came to an end with the annihilation of more than 300,000 troops in the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region. qk Qiu Li stood on a high ground in the afternoon sun in northern Outer Mongolia.  On the post, looking at the Soviet prisoners of war who were lined up in four long columns, with ragged clothes, dull expressions, and mechanically moving footsteps, all the way to the direction of Cullen, the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, showing a smile of relief.

    A gust of cold wind blew by, lifting a corner of his army's coat and dancing in the wind. Tang Qiuli's profound eyes looked across the vast grassland to the east, where Liu Tiehan commanded the East Point troops and another battle was going on.  .

    At around 8:30 in the morning on October 1, in Moscow, in the Kremlin, in the office of Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of the Soviet General Staff, with a hollow voice, read a telegram to Stalin,  It was General Kulykin 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 sitting on the sofa against the wall of the office.

    "As mentioned above, the troops of our Transcaucasus Military Region were surrounded by independent division troops on the south bank of the Selenga River, with no hope of breaking out. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the troops suffered heavy casualties, with only less than five soldiers left.  There are more than 200,000 independent division troops surrounding us, and they have no strength to fight anymore. For the sake of 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 I laid down my weapons to the Chinese, I had some things in my heart that I couldn¡¯t say without saying anything. Starting the war in Outer Mongolia was the biggest mistake made by the high command, and it was also the direct cause of the loss of more than 300,000 troops in the Transcaucasus Military Region, including  All of us, including Comrade Stalin, misjudged the situation 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 read it 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 depressing that it was chilling.

    After a long time, Stalin said in a sleepy voice: "Kurekin surrendered? More than 300,000 troops were wiped out in just 20 days?"

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

    "!" Stalin slammed his palm on the large desk, "Can any of you tell me why this is happening? Why?" Roaring roars echoed in the empty office. Members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,  They stood up in unison and remained silent.

    Stalin looked at these Politburo members who usually talked loudly and talked endlessly about theories. Angry flames burst out from their eyes, their fists were clenched tightly, and his heart stung. The troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region were completely annihilated.  On the south bank of Lenge River, whose responsibility is it?

    If he is seriously investigated, I am afraid that he will be the first person responsible for the annihilation of the Transcaucasian Military Region and the lives of 300,000 soldiers. Because he made the decision, everyone in the office will count one by one.  None of them can shirk their responsibility. When making decisions, no one raised clear objections. Regarding the Second Outer Mongolia War, they knew that their opinions were in line with them.

    ¡°If there had been a member of the Politburo who had firmly opposed it, he would have carefully considered it, but Stalin himself had forgotten this fact.

    After the anti-revolutionary movement in the Soviet Union, in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, all the elders in the party and the military who were able to argue against the Soviet Union went to follow the martyrs. The only ones left behind were those who obeyed and had the courage to do so.Do you want to make a cross and jump up against yourself?
