    Not to mention that the two political commissars of the army, Yankovgai and Hevezin, were hiding in the swamps with their troops and were lucky enough not to be discovered by the reconnaissance plane of the Allied Air Force. At this moment, the three divisions of the Second Army Commander Ma Xin were  The traces were finally discovered from the air by a coalition reconnaissance plane.

    A dh4 reconnaissance bomber dropped bombs indiscriminately during a low-altitude fire reconnaissance, blowing out a company of the Soviet Red Army hiding in a small forest on the shores of Lake Algar. The subsequent strafing and three bombs dropped from the woods  More Red Army soldiers were driven out and ran around.

    Ma Xin scolded her mother fiercely while organizing air-to-air shooting, and ordered the entire army to evacuate and retreat south quickly. If they stayed in place, there would be no other way out except being bombed and surrounded by the opponent's ground troops one after another.  .

    The DH4 reconnaissance aircraft that discovered Mahin's troops obviously made a great contribution. Soon the Hawkeye 2 early warning aircraft followed, followed closely by Handley Petty of a squadron who had been on standby over Bafre for almost an hour.  The O400 heavy bomber, accompanied by a squadron of Chinese FR18 "Excellent" attack bombers, roared over the three divisions of Mahin.

    The fierce and short air strikes caused the three divisions led by Ma Xin to suffer heavy casualties. Like a baton, the Soviet Red Army soldiers who had finally escaped the first wave of air strikes with their heads held came out of their hiding places to put out fires and provide rescue services.  In less than ten minutes, the second squadron's Handley Petty O400 and Chinese FR18 Excellent attack bombers came again to bomb the three divisions of Mahin.

    After the last wave of air force planes completed the bombing and strafing an hour later, the three divisions of Mahin, which had been evacuated and concealed as much as possible, were already beyond recognition and were basically disabled. More than 3,000 people in the army were killed and more than 7,000 were injured.  , the remaining less than 18,000 people were completely frightened by the fierce air strikes and strafing by the coalition air force.

    Ma Xin left his political commissar Kharchenko to lead more than 5,000 lightly wounded people to cover more than 2,000 wounded people. After the break, he led the remaining 18,000 uninjured people into six groups and ran southward in six groups. The wounded were actually killed.  After leaving him behind, he resigned himself to his fate. Anyway, everyone knew that the coalition forces treated prisoners and wounded soldiers preferentially.

    The reason why the group army's political commissar Khachenko was left to lead the team instead of the commander Ma Xin was obviously because the political commissar also knew that if Ma Xin was captured with the wounded, he would be captured by Moscow and Cheka even if he ran out.  Everyone knows that Maxin is a fellow Simbirsk fellow and a Red Army general who was vigorously trained by Comrade Ulyanov and Comrade Sdervyov. If he, the political commissar, did not stand up to shoulder the heavy burden and became a deserter,  Then Moscow will never give up.

    In fact, the three divisions of Mahin, who were previously hiding on the shores of Lake Algar, are less than 18 kilometers away from the first and fourth divisions of the First Army in Ufa. These two divisions were killed by the commander of the First Army in Ufa last night.  Led by Sergey Balayanov, they also drove all night and finally stopped and camped near a village called Ivangorod, 30 kilometers south of Milna.  Less than 18 kilometers east-north of Lake Algar.

    After Maxin's three divisions were discovered, they encountered an air attack from the coalition air force for a full hour. After that, less than half an hour after Maxin had just withdrawn south with less than two divisions of more than 18,000 men, Petrovich's Ural Cavalry  A cavalry regiment from the 8th Brigade of the 4th Division has successively surrounded Halchenko's force of nearly 7,000 lightly and seriously wounded troops on the shores of Lake Algar.

    The commander of this cavalry regiment, Turkin, was previously the cavalry battalion commander of the 7th Brigade, and before that, he was the orderly of Petrovich, commander of the Second Ural Cavalry Corps. Although the number of his own cavalry regiments was only one-third of the opponent's.  More than one point, but Turkin is now the master of winning battles. He is an expert at using mortars. He ordered the whole regiment to surround the enemy by the rivers and lakes. Seeing that the enemy did not fire, the field was full of craters after air raids.  and the corpses of the thousands of Soviet Red Army soldiers who had been killed in battle and had yet to be buried.

    This guy didn¡¯t wait for the two infantry divisions of the Ufa First Army to arrive behind him, and began to persuade him to surrender. He thought that if he failed to persuade him to surrender, then I would make a profit with my saber and enjoy myself!

    His cavalry regiment alone has 32 horse-mounted 81mm caliber mortars deployed. In addition, there are 96 60mm platoon mortars, plus 96 m1917bra Browning squad machine guns, and a  With six 76mm caliber Marathon artillery batteries, if Turkin launches an attack, he is confident enough to destroy the 7,000 enemies in front of him. Why should the credit be given to the infantry of the First Ufa Army? The army commander is also named Sergei.  Damn it, our chief of staff is called Sergey!  Why is that guy Balayanov called Sergey?  !

    "Political commissar! We will never surrender. We are the glorious Second Army! Let's fight! The opponent only has one cavalry regiment! We have twice as many people as the opponent!" The one who was left behind was a mixed member of the Second Army who was slightly injured.  Neil, the political commissar of the 2nd Infantry Division, and Camus, the division commander, were unfortunately killed in the coalition air raid just now.

    The general sent by Turkin across the streetThe cavalrymen were still reining in their horses and shouting in front of the position,

    "Fighters of the Soviet Red Army! Your bravery is worthy of the glorious Second Army. However, the trend of history cannot be reversed by individuals. The coalition forces treat prisoners preferentially. As long as you lay down your arms, our commander Turkin will guarantee your lives and property."  Safe, except for weapons, other personal items and belongings can be kept!

    We are not the White Guards, we are the Second Ural Cavalry Corps under the Allied Forces. Our commander, General Petrovich, keeps his word. As long as you put down your arms, even political commissars at all levels will guarantee your safety!  There is food and drink, you will never go hungry, and the wounded can get good care. To be honest, your beautiful nurse camp in the South Cluster is still waiting to serve you in Ufa!  Don't hesitate any longer!  Put down your weapons quickly, the war is over for you!  "

    "It has become a habit in Ufa for your main force to abandon the wounded, but the advantage is that the wounded no longer have to run for their lives in embarrassment and throw their lives on the road. Rzhevsky's 30,000 people are now drinking  We have had broth and whole-wheat bread, and your Fifth Army has been completely wiped out. Slavin and his political commissar Blomberg are having afternoon tea with our commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in Ufa right now.  !

    You should stop resisting in vain. The firepower of one of our cavalry regiments exceeds that of one of your divisions!  Not to mention we also have air support from the Air Force!  You can't fight this battle!  There is no shame in laying down your arms. You are not the first group army political commissar to have your profile picture, and you will not be the last!  "Dushka, the loud-voiced cavalry sent by Turgeon, was a Cossack blacksmith in the past. He didn't know a few words, but he had a very good memory and liked to talk about mountains and rivers and tell stories to make people laugh. Turgeon had asked his guy in advance to know every word.  All the bad ones were retold, and I also made a lot of my own use of them.

    At the end, the guy opened his hands like trumpets and yelled at Kharchenko,

    "In a word, if you don't put down your weapons after five minutes, we will have to kill you on the spot! Those who died are all Russian compatriots! Wake up! Davarishis!" said Dushka, pulling a carousel.  Tou Hehe screamed wildly and ran back to his own camp 500 meters away.

    "Comrade Political Commissar! Let's fight! We have no way out!" Many wounded Red Army soldiers waved their Mosin-Nagant rifles and followed division political commissar Neil to ask for orders from the group army's political commissar Kharchenko!

    Halchenko, the political commissar of the Second Army, looked around with a complicated expression. More wounded Red Army soldiers stood silently, their faces full of despair, helplessness and sentimentality. Of course, many of them were leaning on the ground with their guns precariously on the ground.  , many people did not even dare to look into the eyes of their own political commissar, and some even sat down on the ground holding their heads and crying.

    The enemy cavalry on the opposite side have already drawn their sabers, and hundreds of unseen machine guns and mortars have been neatly arranged in positions, waiting to drive the 7,000 wounded soldiers down into the lake and eliminate them.

    "Pass my order, all the wounded lay down their weapons. The war is over for us! It's over!" Kharkenko, political commissar of the group army, glanced at the revolver in his hand and threw it at his feet.

    Although the division political commissar Neil was disappointed, looking at the majority of the wounded behind the political commissar, they seemed to be relieved because of Halchenko's decision. This guy knew that the soldiers in front of him had no fighting spirit in the desperate situation.  What could only be a one-sided massacre, this guy finally roared to all the soldiers,

    "Obey the order! Everyone! Put down your weapons!"

    At this order, more than 5,000 lightly wounded Red Army soldiers loosened their grips, and there was a loud sound of countless weapons falling to the ground, occasionally mixed with a few harsh and lonely gunshots. Those were the wounded who were unwilling to surrender, especially many political commissars at all levels.  He fired the last shot into his own head, including Neil, the division political commissar of the Second Army and the Second Division, who also drank the bullet and committed suicide!
