Kolchak's face was expressionless, he allowed the political workers to tie him up without the slightest resistance, and several young political workers also knew Kolchak's identity, and they did not dare to tie it tightly, but only tied him up symbolically.

Kolchak knew the status and role of this commissar in the Red Army of Soviet Russia, and even the commander-in-chief Blyukhel had to compliment him, so you can see how high his status was. When the escort was brought to the door, Kolchak turned his head and looked at Postshev coldly and said: "We have only fulfilled our obligations as Slavs in this war, not a battlefield of political struggle, if you really want to win this battle, don't command indiscriminately, the experience of war is not something that can be learned in college." ”

"What are you waiting for, press him down." Postshev could not hear Kolchak's concern for the war, he could only hear the sarcasm of the other party about him, and he resented him even more.

In the dungeon, Kolchak met another cellmate, the commander of the defeated Third International Infantry Division, Ochuwanlov, who was also imprisoned by Postshev for being directly responsible for the defeat of the Third International Infantry Division.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the once great Marshal of Russia." Ochuwanlov saw his new cellmate and quipped.

"Shut up, don't talk!" The jailer in charge of the guard, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Soviet soldier, shouted loudly.

Although neither Blyukhel nor Sollinsky believed that the defeat of the Third International Infantry Division was due to the responsibility of Ochuwanlov and therefore took an attitude towards him to remain in office and reorganize the troops, the second political commissar Postshev disagreed, believing that Ochuwanlov was arrogant and did not have due vigilance against the Chinese and should be fully responsible for the defeat, so he was imprisoned and prepared for trial after the end of the war. Even though Blyukhel pleaded, Postshev insisted on his point of view. Sollinsky had no choice but to secretly tell Sù Ochuwanlov that he could only be pardoned for his sins if the first commissar Melnikov interceded with him after his return.

This Bosshev insisted too much on his ideals, which made him unapproachable, and the people in the command did not like him. Ochuwanlov and Kolchak were imprisoned together, and he also felt that there was some impermanence in the world, so he smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you look very bad. ”

Kolchak looked at him contemptuously and said, "I don't think I'll be sentenced to death at least - at least not until I return to Moscow, but you don't have to, once the Russian Red Army is defeated, the scapegoat will definitely be you." ”

Ochuwanlov said angrily: "This is not my responsibility. ”

Kolchak shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? The bigwigs in Moscow only need results, not processes, and even less the truth. ”

"You're so right." With a disappointed face, Ochuwanlov said, "Why am I so unlucky, Your Excellency General, do you have any way to help me?" ”

Kolchak smiled bitterly: "I can't protect myself, how can I know." ”

"You're a marshal, you must know." Ochuwanlov said with hope.

Kolchak smiled bitterly and helplessly, and said: "The marshal of the Tsarist Russian Empire does not need to know too much political struggle, only enough military skills are enough, and I am a nobleman." ”

"Alas!" Ochhuwanlov sat down on the sand in despair, grabbed a handful of sand, sand...... He suddenly said, "I have a way." ”

"You don't mean to run away, do you?" Kolchak sneered, "Where can you escape?" What about your family? Don't be delusional lad, if you run away, your family will all be killed. ”

"No!" "Have you noticed, the soil around the Kyzyl fortress is very soft, and we can dig a tunnel into the fortress, so that we can storm the fortress without much effort, but it will take a certain amount of time." ”

Kolchak's eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly: "You are really a genius, and you are definitely not responsible for the defeat of the Third International Infantry Division." He went to the door and shouted: "I want to see Comrade Commander-in-Chief, I want to see Comrade Commander-in-Chief!" No one paid any attention to him, and even a small Red Army soldier came over, spat at Kolchak, and scolded: "Reactionaries! Damn the reactionaries! ”

"Bastard, I really have something to say to General Blyukhel." Kolchak shouted.

The little soldier of the Red Army said disdainfully: "You damned reactionary, don't think that I will listen to you, don't think that I will believe your lies. ”

Kolchak sat down on the ground depressed, looked at Ochuwanlov, who seemed to be smiling on the side, and said, "Just laugh at it." ”

Ochuwanlov leaned over and said, "Your Excellency, I actually think that you will be released soon. ”

"Why?" Kolchak asked.

"It's the fool who captured you, Bosherv, not General Blyukher, who is a nerd, and his heart is narrow, he must be retaliating against you. But if you don't command the Sakhalin regiments, I'm afraid they will rebel today. Ochuwanlov boldly predicted, "I may not be as good as you in terms of military achievements, but you are too naïve in terms of political relations." Your Excellency, maybe you need a political advisor, I am definitely the best choice. ”

"You ......"

"Yes." Ochuwanlov confidently said that he himself knew that no matter what happened after the war, the responsibility for the destruction of the Third International Infantry Division would always be borne by himself, and now finding Kolchak as a backer can be said to be a helpless move, or a desperate plan.

When the other soldiers of the Sakhalin regiment learned that Kolchak had been captured, they immediately stopped the attack and all of them withdrew. Instead of stagnating, they moved backwards with their guns and grenades, and although their guns were not pointed at the Russian Red Army, there was no doubt that they were committing a premeditated mutiny. The retreat of the frontal battlefield left the other armies dumbfounded, when did the Red Army withdraw during the offensive, these unreliable White Guards. The Chinese defenders took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and routed the Soviet troops on both flanks, winning the second counterattack.

The political commissar of the Red Army, Bosshev, who learned about the fighting at the front, even sent a firing squad to shoot the Russian guards of these Sakhalin regiments, of course, if they did this, it would definitely cause civil strife in the Soviet Russian army.

"Report, the Sakhalin corps retreated, the squadron took the opportunity to crush the attacking forces in the north and south directions, and the soldiers of one regiment of our army surrounded on the eastern side were also forced to withdraw because of the rout in other directions!" Staff officer Kolinyakov hurriedly found Blyukhel, who was in charge of command on the artillery position, and reported.

"What?" Blyukherr was furious and said, "What is the matter with them (the Sakhalin Legion)? ”

"Commissar Postshev captured General Kolchak, so it caused panic in the Sakhalin regiments."

Blyukhel patted his head in annoyance, and scolded in his heart that this nerdy commissar was really a troublemaker.

The inexplicable withdrawal of the Soviet troops also gave the squadron a short rest, and Du Baosan, the commander of the defense of the Kizil fortress, said in surprise with a telescope: "What the hell is Lao Maozi doing?" It's only been two hours, the sun has just set, why did they retreat? The rest of the staff officers were also puzzled, and the military chief Wang Yuan teased: "They can't suddenly remember that they haven't eaten after half the fight, right?" Everyone laughed, and Du Baosan said: "Do your best to repair the position." ”

On the position of the Chinese defenders, everyone was so tired that the physical fatigue was definitely not as good as the psychological fatigue, and the second day of the war was already tragic to this situation, with corpses everywhere in front of the position, exuding blood and stench, mixed with the smell of ammunition, choking the soldiers almost unable to open their eyes. At this time, more than 30 barrels of crude oil were pulled from the rear, and the soldiers did not understand what to do, and the baggage soldiers said that the chief of the general staff of the army ordered the crude oil to be secretly sprinkled around the barbed wire fence in front, and we could not see it clearly when we were fighting at night. Besides, the sudden ignition of life can burn a lot of Russian devils, and everyone shouts that the chief of staff is too bad, and this must not burn 1,800 of them.

Blyukhel returned to the headquarters to release Kolchak, but Bosshev insisted on detaining him, and the bespectacled stubborn commissar could not be moved for a while, so Blyukhel had no choice but to let Kolchak speak for himself. Postshev: "Well, it's true that we in Bushwick allow different voices, we are democratic parties, but we absolutely do not allow reactionary ideas. ”

"You're right." Blyukhel smiled helplessly.

When Kolchak was escorted over, he did not state himself, but instead proposed a new combat idea, digging tunnels close to the Chinese positions, although the effect was slow, so that the casualties would be much smaller. At the same time, he said that for the defensive troops of the outer positions of the squadron, cavalry should be sent to attack, and it was tonight. Although this would result in accidental injury, the Red Army, which had more troops in the dark, was able to play to its true advantage. After his statement, Kolchak did not say anything else and silently got up and returned to the makeshift prison.

"In fact, as long as we win against the Chinese, we can liquidate after the victory, not pursue it at this time," Blyukhel said. ”

Posteshev prepared a belly of fire and words, and even prepared to take out Lenin's speech to refute Kolchak, but Kolchak did not say anything at all, and he had no place to vent. He sighed and said, "Well, let him atone for his sins." ”

Kolchak was released again, along with his cellmate Ochuwanlov, because Kolchak felt that Ochuwanlov was much more politically sensitive than himself, and for a man like him, who was somewhat sluggish in the political affairs of the Soviet Bolshevik class, Ochuwanlov could be very effective in helping him. rs！。
