One Five One, Tsarizin (2)

The division headquarters settled down, and it seemed that the Chinese were not ready to rush to the front line. In conversations with many officers, Kareni learned that many of them tended to be conservative and neutral, that is, they did not want to help the Don River Army or the Soviet side.

After walking for two days, I finally stopped for a hot meal. Kareni was surprised to find that these Chinese soldiers had to line up before the meal, and the officers took the lead in singing the military song: "In Swansky, the Great Republic of East Asia! The mountains are scattered and the rivers are spreading. The 400 trillion people are gods, and the land is vast and the resources are abundant. I will sing my five-color emblem of the Republic of China and sing my anthem of the Republic of China!"

"What are they singing?" Kareni said to Adjutant Zhang beside him.

"Military song, Chinese military song." Adjutant Zhang said.

"But you are fighting now as the flag of the Ukrainian National Army. You should sing the Ukrainian military song." Kareni said.

"Haha, you make sense, but unfortunately we only know this!" Adjutant Zhang laughed.

Kornilov now has 60,000 people, which is more powerful than the Red Guards in the Southern Soviet Military Region. He now hopes to capture Charizin and open up connections with the Dutov group in Orenburg. In order to defend Charigin, Moscow sent the Supreme People's Committee member Zhu Yashvili as chairman of the Southwest Military Region, responsible for the battle with the Kornilov and Nazarov group in the entire southwest direction.

The two sides have not yet formed the long and strong front of the European war. The main force of the White Army commanded by Krasnov fought a major battle with the Red Guards in Zimryonsk. Later, due to the arrival of Kornilov's reinforcements, the Red Guards had to give up Zimryonkaya and concentrate their forces in the area of ​​Chalizin.

The White Army was still advancing towards Charizin, and only occasionally there would be conflicts and battles between small-scale cavalry reconnaissance units. The Don Cossack Army led by General Laurov also gradually approached Charizin from the northwest. After crossing the Don River and capturing the towns of Yerzovka and Pichurenskaya north of Charizin, they stopped. Because the resistance of the Red Guards became increasingly fierce and received new reinforcements.

He needed to wait for Krasnov's troops to arrive, and then launch an attack on Taritzin together.

The 9th Division of the Chinese Workers' Army under Xiao Wanshan marched behind Laurov's troops. The Don River Plain seemed to have suffered severe hail disasters, and the ground was full of holes. Wherever there had been a battle, the fields were covered with bullet marks and scorched marks after the burning of plants. The cavalry team launched a charge in the mature fields, and the fields were covered with horse hoof prints and lodged crops.

The lower reaches of the Don River became a gathering place for various "reactionaries". Many senior generals, senior officials, landlords, and capitalists of the Russian Empire era fled here in order to oppose the public revolution carried out by the Soviet regime, in an attempt to use this land as a base to realize their dream of overthrowing the social and migrant worker regime. The officers, non-commissioned officers, commandos, reactionaries among the students and soldiers who fled from the north, and the Cossacks who opposed the land revolution formed the backbone of the entire Don River Legion and the Kornilov's volunteer army.

The 150,000 Cossack prisoners of war released and handed over by Austro-Hungary to Nazarov and Kornilov became the main source of force for the "White Guards", which allowed them to withstand the attack of the Red Guards and gained a foothold in the lower reaches of the Don River and the Donetsk region. Former Russian Chief of Staff Alekseev also achieved great results in the acquisition of the "miscellaneous" Cossack army that was automatically disbanded from the battlefield. Two divisions have been formed, and these people have now joined Kornilov's volunteer army.

With the signing of the Treaty of Brest, the "war between imperialism" had ended, but the "westerly wind" blew the war from Ukraine to the Donets and the Don River areas, and to the Cossacks' hometown.

Several large groups of light yellow clouds were floating quietly over Yerzovka town, and a large number of Chinese workers followed the Raulov army and stationed outside the town. The dim sunlight shone on the windows of the farm, emitting dazzling golden light. Karenni followed the 25th Infantry Brigade to Yerzovka town. The chaotic sound of horse hooves of the cavalry passed through the town and stopped in front of a manor about 3 miles southwest of the town.

"What are you doing?" A company of the 8th Donets Infantry Regiment under Laurov had occupied the manor, and several sentries carrying rifles stopped them outside the manor.

"We are ordered to take over this manor and call out your lords." Karenie ran to the front on a tiny Don hippo and said to the sentries.

"Why? Sir, we finally found such a place to live." The company commander slowly left the manor and said reluctantly after listening to Kareni's introduction.

"No, man, their rank is higher than us," said Karenie.

"These yellow monkeys?" said the company commander named Brenikov.

"What did you say? Mom, it's a slap." But Huang Yisheng, the commander of the 25th Brigade, understood this sentence. He was leading troops in Heilongjiang, and he might not know anything else, but the Russians always said a few words of swearing, and no matter what language, swearing is always the easiest to learn. So he swung his whip and pointed it at Brenikov's face.

The Cossacks immediately got into trouble. The cossacks pulled the bolt and pointed the muzzle at Huang Yisheng, and the guards of the brigade commander surrounded the Cossacks again.

"His grandma, this is a rebellion. Do you want to be the Red Guard?" Huang Yisheng pulled out the pistol that was pressed against his waist and pointed it at Brenikov's head. In the end, because there were much more Chinese people, the Cossacks were disarmed and driven out of the manor, and several others were beaten.

Brenikov, who was beaten, ran to Yerzovka town and went to find Laurov's chief of staff to judge. As a result, he was scolded by the chief of staff and warned him not to provoke the Chinese again. He also took Brenikov's company safely to the forest outside the town to rest and set up camp there.

"Oh my God, we have now become slaves of yellow people!" Brenikov cursed in Xinza's tent. Because he was angry, no one avenged him. So that night, he fled out of the camp with his company and went to join the Red Guards.

"Look, I just don't like this guy, and I look like a red element." After hearing this news, Huang Yisheng not only felt disappointed at all because his impulse caused the Bai Guard to suffer a significant loss, but instead was complacent, as if he had eliminated the "scum" in the army for Raulov. "Oh, tell me what happened to those red elements." He said to Kareni.

"How to say it..." Kareni didn't know where to start, so he simply said some of the Bolsheviks' claims, such as the representative of the working class and the regime of the proletariat, advocating the elimination of exploitation, confiscating the land of the landlords and distributing them to the poor.

"They are very good!" Huang Yisheng said, "I am actually a poor man. My family was poor when I was a child. My parents died early, so I could only beg for food everywhere. Two of us five brothers starved to death. Later, General Yuan... Oh, President Yuan recruited soldiers. At that time, I was begging for food in Dexian County. I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I ran to sign up. But I was young and thin at that time. People didn't recruit soldiers. I cried, and I happened to be the general... Oh, President Yuan saw it and asked me where I was and why I cried. We just wanted to join the army, but it wasn't why. In fact, I was so hungry. General Yuan praised me for being honest, and asked the recruiter to take me off and become the general's personal soldier. Later, he slowly endured and slowly rose to battalion commander."

"Ah, I didn't expect that Brigade Commander Huang was also a poor man in the past," said Kareni.

"Yes, yes, later in the Republic of China, there was a turmoil in turmoil. The general asked me to bring a cavalry regiment into Chahar to suppress the rebellion, and later transferred to Hulunnur and Hailar to garrison." Huang Yisheng said, "In fact, our country has a 'Sun Dapao' and also advocates equalization of land rights. I think he is right. At that time, when he went to Beijing, I led the President's guard battalion to stand guard for him. However, later he opposed President Yuan and caused riots, and became our enemy again."

"Brig Commander Huang also hopes to share the landlord's land equally?" Kareni said.

"Yes, yes, those rich men are stingy. When we were begging for food, we were very angry with the local rich men." Huang Yisheng said, "The most taboo thing in life is to be rich and unkind. One day, you can tell me the matter of the Red Party."
