Volume Three Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 399 The Devil

Trotsky knew nothing about the events that occurred in China and the world, and all his energy was focused on how to fight this battle. In his opinion, Denikin's demise was just a matter of time. As long as the tactical adjustment was made, it was not difficult to defeat Denikin. Moreover, from the beginning of the Battle of Tyumen, the Russian Imperial Government Army in the north did not go south to rescue Denikin as he imagined, and even the situation that he was most worried about westward did not happen. The Russian Imperial Government Army was still resolving the siege of Surgut, and the Red Army and militia troops attacking Surgut had been adjusted according to the previous tactical arrangements, turning the offense into restraining the Russian Imperial Government Army, making it impossible for them to end the Battle of Surgut in a short time, thus winning time for the Battle of Tyumen.

But Stalin's telegram was equivalent to disrupting all Trotsky's plan. Defeating Denikin in five days is simply a day-to-day talk! Stalin thought that Trotsky was God, and he could bring down Tyumen's defenders with breath. Or, if he shouted, Denikin was so scared that he ran out to surrender?

Denikin didn't run away, and it was obvious that he was preparing to hold on. To bite off this fast-fire bone, Trotsky's estimate would take at least ten days or even longer.

His troops first completely dealt with Qiuming's peripheral positions before launching a full-scale attack on Qiuming. Now, the Red Army has only taken the first position, and there are still tens of thousands of troops in the entire Qiuming's hands. These tens of thousands of people are not stupid pigs, waiting for you to run away as soon as you hurry up.

"This Stalin is simply an idiot! Where can I fight like this in war?" The Red Army Command, under the arrangement of Trotsky, the political commissar had just left to go to the troops below to mobilize politically. As soon as the political commissar left, Khachevsky, who had a gloomy face on his back, couldn't help but complain, and Temuxin Ge also looked ugly and frowned.

"Don't say this kind of words. Everyone is a comrade, for the sake of revolution!" Trotsky glared at Khachevsky with a meaningful look and reminded him in a tactful manner. Although the political commissar is not here, it is the command center, so it is difficult to ensure that there are ears in the walls. If such words come to Stalin's ears, they will not be able to fall into it.

Khachevsky, who knew the words were absent, immediately shut up, but after a few minutes, he couldn't help but speak: "It is absolutely impossible to take Qiumin in five days and completely solve Denikin. Unless our troops and cannons double and we continue to use our lives to repeatedly attack the position, there is a glimmer of hope."

"This tactic is not desirable. Even if we win, our losses will be too great. Don't forget that there are regular white bandits in the north eye. If we lose too much in Tyumen, it will be more than worth the loss for the entire battle." Timuxinko rejected Khachevsky's view. After the failure of the Siberian Battle, the strength of the Red Army had suffered serious losses. If it consumed too much in Tyumen, it would bring great problems to the strategic plan formulated at the beginning. Furthermore, Denikin is already in the jar, and his destruction is destined. It only takes some time and a little patience. The Red Army can solve Denikin with the smallest agent. Why should I use human flesh tactics to attack hard?

"What should I do?" Khachevsky spread his hands and asked, "Stalin has given orders. Don't you understand his personality? If we don't take Tyumen and destroy Denikin's tribe within the specified time, you can imagine what this guy will do. At that time, let alone the entire battle. All of us here will return to prison, Brother Temuxin, do you think that is a good place?"

"Nonsense!" Temuxine blushed and spat. Trotsky was a little better among the three people present, but he and Khachevsky had not taken off their hats for the defeat of the Siberian Battle yet. If they returned to prison, it would not be as simple as before. It would be possible that he and Khachevsky would directly cleanse them off on the charge of disobedience.

"This is not OK, that is not OK! Are we waiting for death? Bastards! These idiots! Damn bastards!" Khachevsky held his breath in his heart, and finally couldn't help but get angry. He took off his hat and threw it down the ground, and scolded his mother angrily.

"Comrade Trotsky, do you have any good solutions?" Temuxino asked helplessly when he saw Trotsky sitting and thinking and not speaking.

"Hey... this... is difficult to deal with." Trotsky is not a god, what can he do? Now he wants to strangle the damn Stalin. If this guy who doesn't understand military orders randomly, would he be so embarrassed?

"Maybe... there is a way..." Brother Temuxin rolled his eyes a few times and said softly.

Trotsky turned around suddenly, stared at Temuxin, and asked anxiously: "What? Have you thought of a quick solution to Denikin?"

"The solution is...but...but...but..." Brother Tiemuxin seemed extremely embarrassed, and hesitated but stopped.

"Brother Timuxin, there are no outsiders here. If you have a way, just say it. Why do you look like a woman like a woman?" Khachevsky was anxious and kept urging.

Although Trotsky did not ask any more, his eyes also showed this in his eyes when he looked at Timuxin. Timuxin hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said his solution.

"What! Use chlorine? You... are you crazy?" When Temuxingo said his answer, Trotsky and Khachevsky were shocked on the spot. They absolutely did not expect that this method was to use chlorine, which was a poison gas tactic that had been killed or injured in the European battlefield and was explicitly banned by the international community after the war.

"Yes!" Now, Brother Temuxin has also taken the initiative. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Use chlorine gas, or more powerful mustard gas! Only in this way can he defeat Denikin in the shortest time. Moreover, this tactic will not cause too many casualties to our army. In this way, not only can the task be completed, but the following strategic deployment can also be continued."

"This... this kind of thing has been banned internationally! Once it is spread, it will cause great trouble to our Soviet government!"

"International community? Forbidden?" Temuxin smiled coldly: "Does the international community recognize us as Soviet? I remember not? Since this is the case, what does their prohibition law have to do with us? Besides, war is cruel. As long as you can win the war, it is not an exaggeration to use. I think there is a saying by the Chinese that is very realistic, that is, 'the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy'. History is written by the winner. As long as we complete the revolution and unify the motherland, we can write any future history. What's more, in the small battle to resolve the reactionaries before, we used this weapon, but what's the result? Who will accuse us? No! None of them!"

Temuxin's words did touch Trotsky and Khachevsky. They looked at each other and nodded after a while.

"Okay, in order to complete the task, it seems that this kind of weapon can only be used." Trotsky, as the commander-in-chief, finally made up his mind. When he could not complete the task, he would face the threat of Stalin's anger. Trotsky chose Temuxingo's suggestion to win this victory with a poisonous gas battle.

The poison gas tactic was the first time that appeared in the European battlefield. The first one was the Germans. Then Britain and France also used poison gas to retaliate. Due to the powerful power of poison gas, it can kill the enemy in a very short period of time to achieve victory. From the beginning of the poison gas war, the party using poison gas obviously had the advantage and won local victory.

But the good times did not last long. The other party who suffered from poison gas took up this weapon and retaliated against the other party. The two sides suffered heavy losses during the fight. Later, in order to avoid such "inhuman" wars that violated the spirit of chivalrous spirit, the two sides reached a private agreement in the middle and late stages of the European battlefield to stop using poison gas wars to attack the other party.

After the war ended, the international community wrote the ban on poison gas war into international law, thus allowing poison gas war demons to be controlled within a range to avoid the tragic situation in the first place.

But as Temuxinge said, the international community has never recognized the legitimacy of the Soviets at all, so what if they use poison gas on the battlefield? What's more, this is a Russian civil war. As long as the war is victorious, they will not say it themselves, how can outsiders know? Furthermore, in the peasant movement that suppressed resistance in China, the Red Army had already used poison gas, but the scale was limited. It was used once and twice. What's the difference?

After Trotsky made the decision, he immediately began to mobilize poison gas bombs in preparation. A few hundred kilometers northwest of Tyumen was Perm, and there was the logistics base of the front army eastward. In addition to a large amount of military supplies, there were also a warehouse of various poison gas bombs, which were left over from the European War that year. Most of them were chlorine bombs, and a small part were more powerful mustard gas. With the issuance of the front line orders, these "special shells" were soon pulled out of the warehouse and put on the carriage and sent to the front line as quickly as possible.

Denikin, who still sticks to Tyumen and waits for friendly forces in the north to make the right choice, firmly defends his position in the repeated attacks of the Soviet Red Army. Especially in the past few days, he feels that the opponent's attack is a little tired, and it seems that it is no longer as violent as it was at the beginning. This change has greatly reduced the pressure on Denikin's troops.

Although Denikin found it a little strange, this situation was not a bad thing for him. The longer he stayed in Tyumen, the more the balance between the outcome of the war would be tilted towards them. For this reason, Denikin asked the troops to seize the opportunity to slow down the opponent's attack and take turns to rest, strengthen the positions and trenches, and prepare for long-term defense.
