Chapter 1261: The Messenger

"Your Excellency Marshal, I'm afraid this is not something I can decide, and I need His Majesty's approval. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," said Admiral Zhang Yunnong. This is about millions of prisoners of war, and even more so about the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire. The problem here is complicated. Admiral Zhang Yunnong thought that he was just a soldier who led troops to fight, and he had never been willing to touch the twists and turns inside.

"Of course, Your Excellency, Commander, I will not embarrass you. In fact, yesterday morning, Her Majesty the Empress and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already flown to Yenching. If nothing else, Your Excellency Commander will soon receive a telegram from your country. Marshal Tukhachevsky said with a smile.

The relationship between Empress Anatasya and the Chinese Emperor Wu Haoxuan was well known in the Russian Empire. The vast majority of Russians accept this. After all, the Chinese Empire is the most powerful country in the world, and if the Russian Empire wants to destroy Soviet Russia and revive the Russian Empire, it must rely on the support of the Chinese Empire. Having a crown prince of Chinese ancestry, the future Tsar, will undoubtedly bring China and Russia closer together.

"All right, Your Excellency Marshal. As soon as you receive a telegram, I will have someone send you to the encirclement. Admiral Zhang Yunnong said.

It was at this time that there was a knock on the office door. Admiral Zhang Yunnong's adjutant pushed open the door and walked in.

"Commander, telegram from the General Staff." The adjutant said.

Zhang Yunnong glanced at Marshal Tukhachevsky, and then opened the telegram and read it carefully. After reading the telegram, he said: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty has agreed to your request. However, there is one thing, and that is that you can only bring Soviet officers and soldiers who are willing to submit to you. And you have to make sure that these people are loyal to you and will not cause us trouble. ”

Marshal Tukhachevsky nodded: "Of course. However, we believe that even if the Soviet soldiers in the encirclement can't figure it out for a while, as long as they are patient and do their job, they will definitely figure it out. Therefore, the Imperial Army can hand over all these prisoners to us. ”

Admiral Zhang Yunnong shook his head: "Your Excellency Marshal, I'm sorry, I got the order to deploy like this. The Soviet troops in the encirclement had only one chance. Either pledge your allegiance to Empress Anatasya or walk into our prisoner of war camp. Of course, the exception is those who are political workers. ”

Tukhachevsky was silent, knowing full well that Soviet Russia had been trying its best to vilify the Russian Empire and Empress Anatasya. Among the young people of Soviet Russia, there were many people who hated them. If they surrender rashly, I don't know how many Soviet troops will be willing to surrender. If you enter the prisoner of war camp of the Imperial Army, it is equivalent to losing half your life. They will be forced to do all kinds of heavy labor until they starve to death. Although, the Soviet army was an enemy of the Russian Empire. But, in the final analysis, they are also Russians.

"Well, Your Excellency, I see." Marshal Tukhachevsky said. His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he knew that the current Russian Empire had not rejected the capital of the Chinese Empire at all. Not only now, but not in the future.

"Your Excellency, I will contact the Air Force immediately. The Air Force will send a transport plane to take you to the front line. Admiral Zhang Yunnong said.

Subsequently, Marshal Tukhachevsky and his entourage boarded a Y9 transport plane and flew directly from the airfield in Yasne to the field airfield of the front. Once there, they transferred to a car and went to the front.

On the afternoon of November 1, 4637, Tukhachevsky and his party arrived at the front. When they arrived at the front, they saw the heavy shelling of a battalion of 210-mm self-propelled howitzers of the Imperial Army. Under the light of the setting sun, these cold war machines are exuding a cold murderous aura. The orange-red flames were shining in the muzzles, and the heavy shells flew at high speed towards the Soviet troops in the encirclement under the action of the kinetic energy formed by the burning of the ******. Every sound of shelling, like the roar of a giant, struck their chests and shook their hearts.

"The strength of the empire is too strong, and the shooting of such a powerful cannon is so spectacular! The Soviet troops in the encirclement suffered this time. A Russian army general said.

"Who told them to choose the wrong path? However, it is hoped that the shelling of the Chinese will destroy some of the Soviet troops less. After all, soon they will become our soldiers, their own people. Another Russian general said.

"Don't talk nonsense, if it's too late, the Soviet troops in the encirclement will all die." Tukhachevsky said with some dissatisfaction.

Ten minutes later, the artillery bombardment of the Soviet troops in the encirclement suddenly stopped, and the Soviet fighters that were strafing the Soviet fighters or bombers that were dropping bombs on the heads of the Soviet troops also pulled up their fuselages and returned home. This scene made the Soviet troops in the encirclement look at each other, not knowing what was really going on.

"How did the Chinese's plane fly away? Is it the end of ammunition? ”

"Yes! Their shelling also stopped. Could it be that they are going to give up the attack? Another Soviet soldier also said.

They huddled tightly in the trenches, praying that bombs and shells would not fall into the trenches. Unexpectedly, their prayers actually worked.

In the headquarters of the 5th and 6th armies of the Soviet army, the generals of the two Soviet armies were also wondering how the attack of the Chinese* army ended, which made them a little unbelievable! You know, yesterday's attack by the Chinese* army never stopped. Even at night, the shelling was intermittent. Therefore, many Soviet soldiers were killed in their sleep. After dawn, the Soviet soldiers responsible for burying the bodies worked for a long time to clean up the stumps and broken arms.

"Comrade Frinovsky, what the hell is going on? Why did the attacks of the Chinese suddenly stop? Are they out of shells? It doesn't seem possible. Everyone knows how long the Chinese have been preparing for this war and how well they have prepared. A middle-aged Soviet general, whose name was Pavlov, was the commander of the Soviet 6th Army. And Frinovsky was the commander of the 5th Army. The two armies were surrounded by the Imperial Army, and the original 400,000 men were now less than 300,000 left. But even so, it was the most powerful of the several encirclements.

"Who knows! Maybe their artillery is too tired and needs to rest. Frinowski said.

"! The artillery of the Chinese cannot be tired at the same time, right? Besides, their planes are gone. Pavlov said.

The abrupt cessation of the offensive by the Chinese* army took the Soviet troops in the encirclement by surprise. However, they were puzzled and did not know what was going on.

At this time, on the front line of the exchange of fire between the two sides, two people were walking towards the Soviet defense line step by step. In front was a young soldier who carried a makeshift white flag made of white cloth. He was followed by a middle-aged man, who was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general in the Russian Army, and was considered a high-ranking existence in the Russian Imperial Army.

The Soviet troops on the position also found the two of them. However, they did not open fire.

"Are they messengers of the Chinese? Shall we open fire? A young Soviet soldier asked.

"Wait a minute, they are not Chinese, they are Russians. Fire is not allowed without an order. A squad leader said.

The company commander also got the news and walked out of his headquarters to the front line to investigate the situation.

"Don't shoot, we're messengers." The young Russian soldier with the white flag shouted loudly in pure Russian as he walked.

"He's General Yakir. Oh, my God! He's actually here. The company commander recognized the middle-aged general, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Listen to me, don't fire without an order. Otherwise, I will not be able to spare you. The company commander shouted loudly, and at the same time rushed out of the trench and ran forward quickly.

"General Yakir, I'm Mikhail, one of your former guards!" The company commander said loudly.

"Oh? Mikhail, I didn't expect to see you here, I thought you were dead. Being able to mix up with a company commander is good, not bad! General Yakir said with a smile.

"General, what are you here for?" Company commander Mikhail asked. After all, this is a battlefield. And Yakir's identity is too sensitive. He is a traitor to the Soviet army, a high-ranking general of the Russian Imperial Army! Once such a person is caught by the Soviet army, he will often be shot.

"I'm here to meet two old friends, Frinovsky and Pavlov. Let them know. Young man, you have already lost this battle, and there is no need to put your own life into it. General Yakir patted Mikhail on the shoulder and said.

Mikhail hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, general, you go to my command first, and I will call my superiors immediately." ”

Yakir nodded and followed Mikhail to the company.

The company was very rudimentary, in fact it was just a larger trench. There is a telephone here, which is specially equipped in the rear in order to keep abreast of the situation at the front. Otherwise, how could the company-level units of the Soviet army be equipped with telephones?

Soon, Mikhail finished calling.

"General, I have already reported to the regimental commander. The regiment commander will report to the division commander, and then report to the comrade commander. But, General, can you tell me what you're here for? Mikhail asked.

"I'm here to save you. You are already surrounded by the Chinese. If you don't think of a way, you will all be killed by the Chinese. General Yakir said. (To be continued.) )
