    This guy had no intention of going back alive. Two Don Cossack cavalry divisions attacked for a whole morning and failed to take the town. The casualties were increasing. This was the reason why the division commander Bageyev sent him to persuade him to surrender again.  one.

    Secondly, it is also an important factor to find out the strength of the garrison in the town. Astavyev is the son of a large landowner on the Don River. Although he is the youngest son of a concubine, as a loyal follower of Kolchak and the White Guards, this  The former cadets of the Petrograd Military Academy in Tsarist Russia have been engaged in staff work.

    He was among the cadet lieutenants who guarded the East Palace during the October Revolution. He was among the cavalry lieutenants when Kolchak overthrew the Menshevik and Socialist-Revolutionary provisional government in the Ufa coup. Now, he serves as the headquarters of the 6th Don Cavalry Division.  The combat staff cavalry captain, Astafoyev, volunteered to persuade the division commander Bagyev to surrender!  ",

    ¡°This guy has no intention of going back alive, but if the division commander¡¯s words can be conveyed and it can shake the morale of the Soviet Red Army and the opposing commanders, maybe I, Astafyev, can make a contribution to the White Guards?  Maybe the Soviet Red Army in the town can really lay down their weapons and surrender?

    "Comrade Red Army Commander Our division commander ordered me to give you an ultimatum. According to the latest order from the enemy's headquarters in Kolchak, the 1st and 2nd Don Cavalry Divisions will join the siege of the town of Nesezgan in Bazar.  When the time comes, it will not only be our 6th Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division east of the town that will attack you, but the troops of the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 5th Divisions. Don¡¯t count on it.  The main force of your army on the southern front will come to the rescue. They had withdrawn southward under the cover of artillery fire 10 minutes ago. You have been abandoned by Gidis and the main force of the 10th Army! ""Look!

    The White Guard cavalry captain struggled to maintain his composure, standing tall and straight, but his legs were trembling slightly in the angry eyes of the surrounding Soviet Red Army soldiers. Agaptsev, political commissar of the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, took a look.  He grabbed a Mauser pistol from the orderly beside him and opened the nose of the aircraft, about to shoot at the White Guard captain. However, he was grabbed by the division commander Tkachev and pushed to a stool.  The Mauser pistol that came was in Tkachev's hands again at some point.

    Comrade Division Commander slapped the Mauser pistol on the table, and placed it side by side with the m1895 Nagant revolver that the political commissar just had. Tkachev stepped on the stool, put one hand on his hip, and stared at the White Guards in front of him.  The captain said, "You have been mumbling for a long time, but your division commander sent you to contact us about the surrender?!"

    White Guards Captain Astafoyev was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a trembling voice, "Yes! Yes! Our division commander said that your unit is tenacious in fighting, and he admires your performance this morning! That's why he risked the world  If you don't hesitate to send me to negotiate the surrender, otherwise, when Commander Andre's 1st Don Cavalry Division arrives it will be too late to die together!"

    "Surrender? What price? How long will it take for the 1st and 2nd Don Cavalry Divisions to arrive? Where is the main force of Kolchak's northern front now? Why doesn't Hastings's infantry division come south? Your artillery starts to attack  "You are so happy. Why don't you fire now? Can the 5th Cavalry Division in Zhendong listen to your division commander?" Tkachev, the commander of the 41st Infantry Division, stopped the political commissar Agaptsev beside him who was still angry.  He asked repeatedly.

    Hearing this, Astafoyev thought that the Soviet Red Army Division Commander Tkachev was showing signs of wavering in his words, and he could not help but feel refreshed. He raised his head and said, "Our division commander said that the Cossacks of the 6th Don Cavalry Division  We keep our word, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, and go out of the town to accept reorganization, we will definitely treat the prisoners preferentially. Those who are willing to follow Mr. Kolchak's work will be directly incorporated into our army. Those who are unwilling will not be forced to send them away with travel expenses.  ¡±

    "Where are the political commissars at all levels? Don't you White Guards always insist that all captured political commissars in the Soviet Red Army troops be shot?!" Tkachev continued, and the division political commissar Agaptsev heard this  His face changed color, and his eyes were darting in both directions. He was not sure what the division commander Tkachev's plan was. Is he just trying to delay the attack to delay the attack, or was he really planning to surrender?  !

    As soon as he thought of this, cold sweat broke out on Comrade Division Political Commissar's spine. He turned sideways and looked at Division Commander Tkachev with something wrong in his eyes. A circle of Red Army staff officers and orderlies surrounded the division headquarters to deliver orders.  The soldiers were staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They also didn't understand what their division commander's plan was. Why did he negotiate terms with the messenger of the White Guards?

    "The White Guard Supreme Command has issued an order that all Soviet Red Army political commissars, Cheka and Bolsheviks captured on the battlefield should be shot! But having said that, our division commander said that we can still think of some ways to implement the specific operation. Of course,  If the comrade division commander wants to show his determination and courage to lay down his arms and surrender to the White Guards, steps to cleanse the army of political commissars, Chekists and Bolshevik backbone elements at all levels are essential!¡±

    AgataafyeThe husband's chest was high when he said this. The anger in the eyes of the Soviet Red Army soldiers around him and the fire that could kill an ox in the eyes of the division political commissar named Agaptsev did not deter the White Guards captain who was willing to take risks.  There was no wavering at all. In his opinion, the speaker of this Red Army unit was still the division commander named Tkachev in front of him. Seeing that the other party snatched the gun from his political commissar's hand twice in a row, the White Guards captain secretly thought to himself:  There is a way!

    "This is not easy to handle My 41st Infantry Division and the political commissars at all levels are the big brothers and key leaders in the hearts of the soldiers. Without their support and participation, my division will definitely not accept your conditions.  Besidesif you put down your weapons, you can treat the prisoners better? What if we put down our weapons and you raise the butcher knife? Don't say you haven't done this before. Shooting prisoners is a common occurrence for the White Guards  ¡­Why should I trust you? You are just a cavalry captain, and I don¡¯t think your division commander would even blink an eye if a hundred people like you died!¡±

    Tkachev, the commander of the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, ordered all irrelevant personnel of the division to leave the room, leaving only a few confidants and political commissar Agaptsev present, and ordered that no one should enter or leave the division compound without orders.  , while holding his chin and staring at the white guard captain in front of him, he began to talk nonsense.

    "Well Sir, our teacher has also considered your concerns, but as a general, you can't lose a small thing!
