"Be smaller, don’t let others hear that our battalion is full of mud legs except that we are working class!" The third man said in a low voice
Baplochov teaspoon knocked on his teacup and said word for word, "What are you afraid of now? Comrade Gorbov is the real working class leader of the army. He is also a member of the Revolutionary Military Commission. Major Kolinov is a deserter. Those mud-legged red guards here are deserters. What qualifications do they have to make irresponsible remarks? If they are eliminated everywhere, they will be given a chance to make amends …"
"This is no time to engage in class confrontation …" Major Kolinov thought and heard the company commanders’ floors paved, yawned and tickled, still talking about the great problem of the working class leading the revolution.
A gun rang out of the window in front of Li Qian, and all the Red Guards jumped out of bed. Major Kolinov was so anxious that he couldn’t put his hand into the sleeve. He ran, put on his shoes, grabbed his military coat and ran outside.
Guns crackled like fried beans in the open field, and the whole town was in chaos. Someone shouted at the door in panic and failure
"Take a gun! ….. with a gun! ….. Shoot … "
Team Zhong * * killed the skirmisher line along the way, and the Red Guards rushed into the small town. In the gray and gloomy darkness, Mercedes-Benz infantry boots were drumming and flying in the snow, and the red guards were in chaos. People were constantly knocked down by the victims, and the China people fell down in batches. The blood of the bodies was dyed red in the white snow.
A machine gun was set up at the intersection of the town. Thirty Red Army soldiers were on the street like a chain, and another group of people ran from the alley and sounded the bolt. People came from the back block with bullets in their guns. Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov ordered loudly, "Hurry up, the third battalion!" Who’s not here? ….. Attention! Machine gunner-to the right! Are you ready? Even ready … "
But at this time, before China people rushed to the front, a row of shells roared from the top of the head and exploded the machine guns in the crowd. Before there was a fire, it was blown up. Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov was hoarse and no one knew whether he was alive or not.
Then * * team arranged skirmisher line approaching their rifles like sharp sickle kept harvesting lives.
Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov led the * * team in the regular army to separate and collapse like an attack. China people rushed into the town from the outside in the snow and killed everyone.
The red guards fled the town streets again, and the riders waved firecrackers, the wheels roared, the gun racks creaked and the suburbs became more and more dense. Several machine guns roared at the entrance of the town at the same time, but in an instant-China gunmen quickly solved the problem that there were several machine guns left by the machine gunners, and no one replaced them in the cold wind.
A truck near the corner of the street hit a road stake and overturned. "Blind ghost! ….. Can’t you see? Are you blind? " Inside the carriage, there was an angry scolding that scared people to death. This was Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov, a Bolshevik commander who had the ability to pull off the madness, and he also chose to retreat.
Major Kolinov made great efforts to combine the two companies and led his troops to the town, but the Red Guards had fled from there in droves and washed his company into chaos.
"Where to go? ….. "Major Kolinov grabbed the rifle of a Red Army soldier in front" loose-! ….. "Red Army soldiers struggled to say" loose bastard! ….. What are you pestering me for? Didn’t you see everyone retreat? ……”
"The enemy power is too big! ……”
"They are on the rampage and die. I have never seen such a powerful enemy. They are death and the devil …"
"Where are we going? ….. where to go-is there a direction to withdraw to St. Petersburg? " Many breathless shouts.
Major Kolinov tried to lay his company into a skirmisher line near a small river in the north of the town, but a group of newly defeated people messed up their lines. The soldiers in his team mixed with the defeated people and retreated to the north. The river had already formed an ice surface like steel.
"live! ….. Don’t run … I want a gun! ….. "Colin’s major trembled with anger roared.
The Red Guards and Red Army soldiers didn’t listen to his orders at all. Major Kolinov had to order a gun and a machine gun to shoot. The machine gun fire kept shooting along the ice. The red guards immediately fell to the ground in piles, then rolled to the side and rushed behind the river.
"Now the law controls Comrade Kolinov!" Mai Rykov took his hand and stared at his eyes and shouted.
Major Kolinov gnashed his teeth and waved his rifle and walked behind the retreating troops. The troops panicked and almost threw away the supplies of the army department when they retreated from the town.
When the key was pressed, Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov once again played the role of savior. He first rode by car and then rode, so he ran fastest, but a new army was redeployed in the rear, and a cordon was erected in the long snow to stop the defeated soldiers.
People didn’t see Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov in his retreat, but they personally saw his heroic image of saving the day twice.
Col. Gorbov urged the troops to reunite the companies through simple integration, and Col. Gorbov led them into a counterattack to retake the town.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Colonel Gorbov was flushed and sweaty. He was wearing a short fur coat and running back and forth along the skirmisher line that was slowly advancing, like a bronze bell, shouting excitedly.
"Comrades revolutionized Lenin and proved our courage. Please rush forward! ….. Don’t lie down! ….. Forward, forward! ……”
The mixed skirmish line between the Red Army soldiers and the Red Guards poured in as if the snow was inlaid with a black human lace.
The cold wind blowing from the place where the sun rises is blown away by the wind, and the dark sky shows the edge of the morning glow.
Major Kolinov led a company to closely follow Mai Rykov, who was next to him, and said sarcastically, "Comrade Gorbov is almost brave, but doesn’t anyone doubt what he did just now? Where was he when everyone kept retreating?"
"It is undeniable that he saved the loss again and saved the troops!" Major Kolinov said
"If he really wants to save the troops, he should not attack again, but retreat the troops to an safe place and wait for the opportunity to attack again. Didn’t you see that the brothers were shaking? They have no confidence in defeating China people … "
"We have no way out. If we retreat, it will be St. Petersburg. The whole Soviet government and the whole nation will fall …" Major Kolinov said heavily. His eyes were haggard, anxious and a little desperate.
"The whole nation?" Mai Rykov thought to himself, "Maybe it doesn’t include our Cossacks …" He suddenly developed an idea and decided to live and die together, because at this time he suddenly felt that he was a Cossack and was different from this group of desperate people.
Chapter 714 There are too many prisoners
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh! ….. Far away from China, mortar shells flew over and flew over. The first shell fell not far in front of the scattered line, and the smoke exploded like a yellow-blue flag. The second shell exploded loudly. It just hit the marching team a few times, and then the impact point was more accurate, and the shells fell off the scattered line one after another.
Yuan Zhixiang’s soldiers just dug a foxhole in the outer defense line of the company town, because the soil was not deep enough to dig a hole in the snow, and then several Russian bodies blocked the front.
Yuan Zhixiang narrowed his eyes in the wind and thought with satisfaction, "I don’t have any sense of superiority for these stupid people to kill them. It’s also enough for them to be bombarded by mortars for a while!"
Then the shells fell like meteors, and mortars, large and small, seized the opportunity of performance and kept shooting at the enemy skirmisher line in turn.
Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov led a main infantry regiment to the front. This infantry regiment is composed of miners. Its Red Guards have different fighting will, which is relatively strong. At least in Colonel Gorbov’s eyes, in the early hours of the morning, if it weren’t for his Red Guards dragging down his main regiment, it wouldn’t have retreated with embarrassment.
Mai Rykov had a strange idea in his heart and decided to escape from the front, but the disaster was not easy. If he was found by the rear supervision team, he might be shot on the spot. But if he followed suit, the bullets of China people were even more frightening. China people didn’t recognize him as a Cossack, so they gave him a bullet to send him to the West.
Mai Rykov followed Col. Gorbov closely, because he felt that Col. angor Bov was a cunning fox and wouldn’t put himself in danger. When he rushed to the front, he slowly fell behind, and when he entered the shooting range of China people, he fell behind.
There was a stout female soldier in a military coat who always walked along the skirmisher line with Lieutenant Colonel Golbov. When she passed by, she thought angrily, "What a good leader! The front line-I still remember that according to the female comrade, this is really a good comrade of the people. Fighting with this kind of person will definitely win! Because he is so pregnant with soldiers … Even lesbians are pregnant, except those children and mom. He should bring all kinds of junk! ……”
China mortar stopped for a moment, and then the rifle volley broke the silence-then the front shouted "Hula" and asked the Red Army and the Red Guards to charge the China people.
On the left of Major Kolinov’s Mai Rykov, there are several Red Guards detachments. They are the attacking troops on the left. Major Kolinov’s company has three machine guns. The captain of the machine gun team is a tall red guard with dark complexion and big hands covered with thick hair. He skillfully directs the soldiers to occupy a favorable position and set up machine gun fire to support the attacking brothers.
However, the machine gun team played for a while, and a few mortar shells fell, and the machine gun stopped. Major Kolinov ran over and saw the machine gun captain climb from the ground. A machine gun collapsed, and several machine gunners’ bodies were dead.
Major Kolinov came to the captain of the machine gun team and adjusted his chest and hand gun strap.
"Are you in command of this team?"
"Yes, it’s me!"
"I want your machine gun team to show the blocking fire in front of the front again. It’s too far away from China’s defense line and its lethality is not enough …"
"But you see-my soldiers have been injured and sacrificed …" The machine gun captain said.
"Find someone to replace you," Major Kolinov said. At this moment, a strong bearded machine gunner shouted from a dumb machine gun. He sat up from the ground and threw himself at the machine gun. He shouted angrily, "Come on, get the ammunition hand and bring me the belt … We can’t stop the machine gun … Why is there no one?"
The captain of the machine gun hurried to the ground to look for the gunman in the army. He bent over and ran to the ground. The soldiers told them to report to the machine gun position, but everyone didn’t want to die faster because the machine gun position was a hit place among China people
A soldier ran from Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov and handed Major Kolinov a note, which was torn from the field log and scrawled on untidy paper.
Comrade kolinov
In the name of the Revolutionary Military Commission and the battlefield commander, I ordered you to lead and command two companies to withdraw from their positions and launch a fierce attack from the enemy’s right wing. The marching direction is from here to see a little ravine on the left side of the windmill in that area … Please move there and attack from the flank. The attack must be fierce and must not be wrong!
Lieutenant Colonel Golpov
Major Kolinov looked at the front and the situation. The offensive momentum has been suppressed by China people. The soldiers are lying down in the snow and can’t tell whether they were killed by China people or dodged bullets. However, Major Kolinov vaguely feels that they are more likely to die because China people keep shooting, while China people always don’t shoot casually. Every shot will always kill a person.
However, he can’t think about it carefully. Major Kolinov withdrew from his position and called two company commanders to lead the soldiers to retreat, trying not to make the enemy judge his marching direction.
They marched around a big circle of 20 miles. The snow in that ravine was deep, and sometimes their calves got stuck in the snow, and there was a place where they didn’t reach their knees. Major Kolinov listened to the "whoosh-whoosh-whoosh" flight and explosion of mortars from China, and looked at his antique pocket watch at any time. He was afraid that when he was wrong, his compass was corrected in one direction, and it was still a little off the original direction. They rushed out of the ravine and walked along a wide plain, and everyone was steaming, with thick cotton-padded clothes and sweat on their faces.
Major Kolinov ordered his troops to stop. He was the first to climb a mound, and all the Red Guards soldiers followed Major Kolinov along the slope. Looking back, Major Kolinov saw two soldiers scattered sparsely on the snowy hillside behind him, and he felt more confident and powerful. He was as eager to win the battle as every soldier, and he was eager to defeat the Chinese team to save the whole Soviet government. Today, this wish is almost realized.
Here, we can see the frontal attack organized by Lieutenant Colonel Gorbov. Colonel Gorbov’s brave attack strategy is equipped with cover forces on his wings. The frontal attack semicircle formation surrounded the enemy lines, but the actual effect was not great. The tactics of China people were very appropriate, and there was a feeling of being at ease. Once the Russian army launched an attack, they fired mortars at the follow-up troops of the Russian army, and then the rifle machine guns and bullets crackled like rolling around in an iron casserole, and soldiers fell down the attack road.
"Into a skirmisher line! Attack … "Major Kolinov gnashed his teeth and roared, personally leading two companies to attack from the flank. The soldiers climbed over the snow-covered hills, and they rushed over without lying down like shooting exercises.
However, the cunning China people turned around and moved a few heavy machine guns. The heavy machine guns strafed the skirmish line of Major Kolinov very violently, forcing the soldiers who attacked the Red Guards to lie down in a hurry, and more have been killed.
Major Kolinov was also hit by a bullet. The heavy machine gun shell on his calf was covered with a nickel shell, and the hot lead bullet shattered his leg orthopedics. Major Linov felt a sharp pain, so that he almost vomited. He clenched his teeth and jumped up with his other foot and shook his head hard. He was dizzy with pain.
But at this moment, China people’s heavy machine guns swept over again, and the soldiers around them were cut down. Some people were hit in the stomach and dirty. Some people were simply cut into two pieces. In the snow, their mouths were still spitting blood, and their eyes were still shaking.
Major Kolinov was lucky to have a bullet hit his other thigh, which was hit by a rush. Major Kolinov’s thigh penetrated his military uniform, trousers and skin, leaving waves in his muscles. The terrible pain made it difficult for him to move. When Major Kolinov was lying here, he remembered some old things. That summer, when he was driving a carriage, the carriage turned into a roadside ditch and the carriage crushed him, making him unable to move. He felt very helpful, but now he felt a hundred times more sad than then.
