Chapter seven hundred and sixty-one (1) can't lose the big because of the small
This guy had no intention of going back alive. The two Donhe Cossack Cavalry Divisions attacked for a whole morning but failed to take down the town. The casualties continued to increase. This was one of the reasons why the division commander Bagiev sent him to persuade him to surrender again.
Secondly, inquiring about the reality of the defenders in the town is also an important factor. Astavyev is a son of the Don River landlord. Although he is a concubine's youngest son, as a loyal follower of Kolchak and the White Guards, this former non-commissioned officer at the Petrograd Military Academy of Tsarist Russia has always been engaged in staff work.
He was among the lieutenant who guarded the Eastern Palace during the October Revolution, Kolchak overthrew the Mensheviks in the Ufa coup, and among the cavalry lieutenant during the Provisional Government of the Socialist Revolutionaries. Now, as the combat staff cavalry captain of the 6th Division of the Don Cavalry, Astaphev volunteered to persuade the division commander Bagiev to surrender! ",
This guy didn't plan to go back alive, but if he could pass the division commander's words, it would shake the fighting spirit of the Soviet Red Army and the opponent's commander. Maybe I, Astavyev, made a contribution to the Bai Guard? Maybe the Soviet Red Army in the town could really put down their weapons and surrender?
"Comrade Red Army Commander... Our division commander ordered me to give you an ultimatum. According to the latest orders of the Kolchak Front Command, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions of the Don River will join the ranks of besieging Bazarnesezgan Town. At that time, the attacks on you will not only be our 6th Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division east of the town, but the 4 divisions of the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 5th Divisions. Don't expect the main force of your army on the southern line to come to rescue. 10 minutes ago, they had retreated south under the cover of artillery fire. You have been abandoned by Giddies and the main force of the 10th Army!" "Look at it."
The cavalry captain of the Bai Guard Army struggled to maintain his calmness, and his legs stood up straight, but his legs were slightly trembling in the anger of the Soviet Red Army soldiers around him. Agaputsev, a political commissar of the 41st Division of the Soviet Red Army Infantry Division, reached out and snatched a Mauser pistol from the orderly soldiers beside him and pulled the head of the machine to shoot at Captain Bai Guard, but the division commander Tkachev grabbed it and pressed it onto the stool. The Mauser pistol that had just arrived in Tkachev's hand was unknown when.
The division commander slapped the Mauser pistol on the table with a snap, and lined up with the m1895 Nagan revolver pistol of the political commissar just now. Tkachev stepped on the stool, put his hands on his hips, staring at the Bai Weijun Captain in front of him, "You've been talking for a long time, let's talk about it, your division commander sent you to contact the surrender?"
Astaphev, the captain of the White Guards, was overjoyed and said with a trembling voice, "Yes! Yes! Our division commander said, your troops are tenacious in fighting, and he admires your performance this morning! That's why he risked the world's magnanimity to send me to contact the surrender, otherwise he would wait for Commander Andre's 1st Dun River Cavalry Division to come... Then the jade and stones will be burned and they will come!"
"Surrender? What's the price? How long will the 1st and 2nd Division of the Don River Cavalry arrive? Where is the main force on the Kolchak North Line? Why doesn't the Hastings infantry division come south? Your artillery was very enthusiastic at the beginning, why don't you open fire now? Can the 5th Cavalry Division in the east of the town listen to your division commander?" Tkachev, the commander of the 41st Division of the Infantry Division, stopped Agaputsev, who was still angry around him, and asked in a stack of voices.
Upon hearing this, Astaphev thought that the Soviet Red Army division commander Tkachev had a wavering meaning, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He raised his head and said, "Our division commander said that the Cossacks of the 6th Division of the Don Cavalry remain in their words. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender and walk out of the town to accept the adaptation, we will definitely treat the prisoners preferentially. If you are willing to do it, you will directly join our troops. If you don't want to, you will not force yourself to send them off."
"Where are the political commissars at all levels? Haven't your Baiwei Army always insisted that all the political commissars in the Soviet Red Army were executed by shooting?!" Tkachev said, and Agaputsev, the political commissar of the border master, changed his face when he heard this. This guy's eyes were scrambling to both sides. He couldn't tell what the division commander Tkachev had planned. He just used a delaying plan to delay time or... he really planned to surrender?!
As soon as he thought of this, a cold sweat came out from the back of the political commissar of the division. He turned his face to look at the division commander Tkachev, and his eyes were a little wrong. The Red Army staff and order soldiers surrounded the division headquarters stared at each other with big eyes, and they also didn't understand what their division commander was going to do. Why did they talk about the conditions with the messenger Bai Weijun, who asked questions and answers?
"The Supreme Command of the White Guard Army has an order that all the political commissaries of the Soviet Red Army, Cheka and Bolsheviks who were captured on the battlefield will be shot! But that's the case, our division commander said that we can still find some solutions in specific operations. Of course, if the division commander wants to express his determination and courage to give up his weapons and surrender to the White Guard Army, the steps to clean up the political commissaries at all levels in the army, Cheka and Bolshevik backbone elements are essential!"
When Agtavyev said this, his chest was high high. The anger in the eyes of the Soviet Red Army soldiers around him and the fiery flame that could kill the cow in the eyes of the political commissar named Agaputsev did not shake the slightest move of the White Guard Captain and the messenger who was willing to do so. In his opinion, the person in charge of this Red Army unit was still the division commander named Tkachev in front of him. Seeing that the other party took the gun from his political commissar like lightning twice in a row, the White Guard Captain thought to himself that there was a way to do this!
"This matter is not easy to deal with... My 41st Infantry Division, the political commissar at all levels are the big brothers and backbone leaders in the hearts of the soldiers. Without their support and participation, my division will definitely not accept your conditions. Besides, let's talk about it... If you put down your weapons, you can treat prisoners preferentially? What if we put down our weapons and raise your butcher's knife? Don't say that you have never done this. Shooting prisoners is common for the Bai Weijun... Why can I believe you? You are just a cavalry captain combat staff officer. If you die a hundred people like you, I guess your commander will not blink!"
Tkachev, commander of the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, ordered all unrelated personnel of the division headquarters to withdraw from the house, leaving only a few confidants and political commissar Agaputsev present, and ordered no one to enter and exit the division headquarters without authorization. While holding his chin, he stared at the Bai Wei Army Captain in front of him and began to speak nonsense.
"Well... Master, our teacher has also considered your concerns, but for generals, you cannot lose the big picture because of the small!
