Chapter 1263: Surrender
The General Staff of the Russian Empire planned to mix these surrendered Soviet soldiers with other units, so that three new armies could be formed, bringing the total strength of the Russian Imperial Army to 15 armies and 2.5 million men. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this case, even without the assistance of the Chinese Empire, if they faced the Soviet army alone, they would still be able to confront the Soviet army.
Of course, in terms of logistics and air supremacy, the help of the Chinese Empire is still needed. The air force of the Russian Empire was very weak.
"Frinovsky, Pavlov, if you agree, then give the order. Marshal Tukhachevsky is waiting for you at the front. General Yakir continued.
Frinovsky and Pavlov looked at each other, and on the whole, the conditions for expulsion from the Russian Empire were very favorable. Although, the safety of their families was not guaranteed, this could not be blamed on the Russian Empire, only Stalin for being too brutal. Shot, hanged, or sent to a labor camp at every turn. This also made many people resent Stalin's rule. This is especially true of those who have taken down non-ethnic Russians, who already see Soviet rule as a form of oppression. This is probably why, in another time and space, after Germany entered Soviet Russia, it was welcomed by a large number of Ukrainians and Belarusians. It's just that the head of another plane hasn't been able to take advantage of this. If he had treated Ukrainians and Belarusians well, it might have been a different story.
Of course, in this plane, these people have another option. That is, the Russian Empire still exists. As the saying goes, only after losing will you know how to cherish it. Most Russians are like this. They overthrew the tyrannical rule of the Tsar and thought they would be able to live happily ever after. However, they soon discovered that life was much more difficult now than it was in the Tsarist era.
"Well, Yaquil, we believe in you, and we believe in Marshal Tukhachevsky. We will now order the troops to lay down their arms and surrender to you. Frinowski said.
"Bang!" At this time, a gunshot suddenly rang out outside. Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of machine gun fire. Both Frinovsky and Pavlov had a big change in their faces. They realized that the news had leaked. Lentens and Merkulov went into action.
Subsequently, a staff officer came to report with a panicked face: "Comrade commander, something is wrong. Comrade Political Commissar is leading the army to attack the headquarters. The commander of the guard battalion had already been killed, and most of them had betrayed. ”
"Damn! What do we do now? Both Frinovsky and Pavlov panicked. If it falls into the hands of Lenes and Merkulov, then the two of them will definitely not survive. According to Stalin's character, both of them had to be shot.
"All of them took up arms and fended off their attacks. We immediately ordered nearby troops to reinforce us. Pavlov ordered.
They all knew that there was only one way to go to the dark now. If they were not able to suppress Lykens and Melkulov, then they would not even have a problem with their lives, let alone continue to enjoy glory and wealth after surrendering to the Russian Empire.
"Yes, Comrade Commander." The staff officer nodded.
Soon, the gunfire from outside the headquarters intensified. Apparently, in order to take the command, the army led by Lykens and Merkulov launched a fierce attack. And the troops, loyal to Frinovsky and Pavlov, fought back. They also knew that as the people of Frinovsky and Pavlov, if they failed, it would definitely not be a good thing for them.
"The 24th Regiment? Immediately bring me someone to the headquarters and capture Lykens and Merkulov. They have defected and are storming the headquarters. Now, in my capacity as the commander of the group army, I order your team to arrest him, and if he resists, he will be killed. "Frinovsky gave orders to his own henchmen.
Similarly, Pavlov gave a similar order. They have worked hard in the army for so many years, of course they will have their own henchmen. Maybe not even yet. But when it comes to the pinch, their role is revealed.
"Comrades, you must resist their attacks. We have already decided to surrender to the Russian Empire. When the time comes, we will be the servicemen of the Russian Empire. The soldiers of the Russian Empire are treated much better than the Soviet Russian army, and there is no oppression by political workers. Everyone will be able to live a good life from now on. Especially at least this time there is no need to worry about being killed by the Chinese. Frinovsky said to the officers and soldiers of the command. Before his henchmen arrived, they needed to fend off the attacks of Lykens and Merkulov, which required the best efforts of the officers and men of the command. Only in this way will everyone have a way to live.
"Yes, Comrade Commander." The officers and men of the headquarters replied in a loud voice. Originally, this time they were surrounded by the Chinese* army, and they thought that they were already certain to die. Unexpectedly, there is a turnaround now. As for the betrayal of Soviet Russia and the defection to the Russian Empire, this is nothing for them. Except for those political workers, most of the Soviet troops were no longer so loyal to Soviet Russia.
It's no wonder that anyone who is found to be an outcast will have a similar reaction.
While Frinovsky and Pavlov hurriedly organized their troops to resist the attacks of Lydens and Merkulov, General Yakir appeared calm. He watched all this calmly, without a hint of panic. He believed that Frinovsky and Pavlov were capable of handling the matter. Otherwise, Marshal Tukhachevsky would not have valued them either.
In fact, Frinovsky and Pavlov did not disappoint General Yakir either. Thanks to the efforts of the officers and men of the command, the troops led by Lykens and Merkulov were blocked from the headquarters and could not enter an inch. As time passed, the troops loyal to Frinovsky and Pavlov were coming, and it would not be difficult to suppress Legensia and Melkulov, as long as they arrived.
Legens, who were outside the headquarters, and Merkulov were obviously aware of this, so they were getting more and more flustered. After learning that Frinovsky and Pavlov were meeting with the envoys of the Russian Empire, they guessed that Frinovsky and Pavlov were trying to sneak attack, so they immediately brought people to them, hoping to capture Frinovsky and Pavlov and prevent such a situation from happening.
"Frinovsky and Pavlov, you betrayed Soviet Russia, betrayed Comrade Stalin, you will pay for it. Officers and men of the command, I believe that you are innocent. As long as you lay down your arms, I promise that you will not be held responsible, you are all coerced by Frinovsky. Legens shouted.
"Comrades, think about your family. They're still in Soviet Russia. If you continue to follow Frinovsky and Pavlov, it will bring disaster to your family. For the sake of your families, lay down your arms and arrest Frinovsky and Pavlov. Melkulov also shouted loudly.
This made the officers and soldiers of the headquarters shake a little, for the vast majority of people, their families said that their weakness was the softest part of their hearts.
"Comrades, don't listen to their nonsense, don't forget how they treat those who betrayed Soviet Russia? I promise you, I will lead you to life. The Chinese outside the encirclement are eyeing each other, and if we do not surrender to the Russian Empire, we will be dead. We're doing this to save people's lives. Frinovsky also hurriedly shouted to stabilize the morale of the army.
Many Soviet officers and soldiers could not help but shudder at the thought of how those political workers treated those traitors. This made them all determined to continue to resist the attack of Redens and Merkulov's men.
"Humph! A bunch of stubborn guys. Pull the cannon up and give me the Bombardment Command. They must not be forced into Soviet Russia, into Comrade Stalin. Seeing that his words had no effect, Lenes gave the order with a cold face.
Soon, a 76.2-mm field gun was pulled up, and the muzzle was aimed at the headquarters, ready to fire directly at the headquarters to destroy the defenses inside the headquarters. The troops in this defensive command were worried. The fragile body of man is obviously no match for the cannon.
It was at this time that a turning point appeared. The troops loyal to Frinovsky and Pavlov came, they attacked from behind, defeated the army led by Legensy and Merkulov in one fell swoop, relieved the crisis of the command. Lentens and Merkulov were also captured and brought into the headquarters.
"Frinovsky, Pavlov, you two are so bold that you dare to betray Comrade Stalin. Comrade Stalin will never let you go. You'd better let us go, and let yourself go to Moscow to ask for forgiveness, and maybe you will be left with your life. Legens scolded.
"Idiot! Now we have made Moscow? If not to surrender. We're dead. Pavlov, let's have one for each of us. Frinowski said.
Pavlov nodded, pulled out his pistol, and aimed it at Merkulov, his former political commissar.
"What do you want to do?" Melkulov was shocked.
"Bang!" Shots rang out, and bullets pierced Merkulov's head.
Subsequently, Frinovsky also opened fire, shooting Legens. (To be continued.) )
