Rebirth of the National Marshal

The situation on the security corps' side was in stark contrast. The Soviet army simply collapsed. They originally thought that the security corps members would not dare to cross the border and would be safe as long as they entered their own country's territory. This was the logic of these bandits. It was natural for you to enter someone else's country's territory, but you were unwilling for others to enter your country's territory. How could this be justified?

When they entered their own territory and wanted to stop to catch their breath, the attacking tanks from behind let them know that the Chinese had not let them go.

The Chinese were still pursuing them. After retreating for dozens of kilometers, more of their people died, and the tanks were still advancing. Although their numbers had decreased a little, those people were still there, following them like ghosts, leaving them no chance to breathe. Although there were some defenses organized by the army during the retreat, they found that as long as you organized a defense, the planes in the sky would attack you first, until they were driven back into the retreating torrent, and then these planes would ignore you.

The Chinese are really insidious. They don't give us the ability or time to organize a counterattack. As long as we have the idea of ​​counterattacking, their planes will immediately shoot us back. Don't these planes need to rest? It has been several hours since morning, and these planes above our heads seem to have always been there. Basically, they have never returned.

In fact, this was just an illusion of the Soviets. When the planes above were running low on fuel, they would go back to refuel and replenish ammunition. However, there were always more than 100 planes in the sky. Only when the planes in the rear came back from refueling would they go back to maintain air cover for the armored regiment and the attacking infantry.

It was precisely because of the continuous attacks by the Air Force that the Soviets did not stop their escape. Many soldiers could not run anymore and just waited on the side, waiting for the security soldiers behind them to come. They had no choice but to surrender. Many people would rather surrender and become prisoners than continue running. It was not that they did not want to run, but their legs felt like they were filled with lead and they simply could not walk.

Not to mention ordinary Soviet soldiers, even Marshal Timoshenko had to change several cars. His car stopped because it had no gas, and then he stopped other cars on the road. His guards were relatively useful. They forced the soldiers to get out of the car with guns. Otherwise, the soldiers would not stop the car and would definitely rush forward.

As for the poor political commissar, if Marshal Timoshenko had not held her back, she would have died long ago. The supervisory teams under the political commissar were usually fine at bullying their own people, but when the war came, they were just a bunch of women. They surrendered immediately when they saw the enemy rushing towards them. The political commissar wanted to talk to them, but was directly pulled into Marshal Timoshenko's car.

The quality of the soldiers can be seen during the war. In normal times, the political commissar also ridiculed Timoshenko's guards, thinking that it was nothing. Now it can be seen that the marshal's guards are different from his own. No matter how chaotic the war is, these hundreds of people always surround the marshal and bring him a lot of good things.

In fact, this is very normal. When selecting their guards, they always choose the most capable ones in the entire army. Marshal Timoshenko has been in the army for a lifetime. He can see clearly which soldiers are capable and which are not. A soldier's ability cannot be reflected in winning a battle, but in losing a battle.

No matter how badly your army fails, this soldier sticks to his own ideas in his heart and knows what he should do. Such people are elite troops and there are many troops that can win battles. Everyone can fight a smooth war. Only in this kind of failure can you see whether your army is a truly elite army. Of course, the political commissar knows nothing. He looks at those soldiers who are slightly stronger and more obedient and directly pulls them into his own supervision team. They are very fierce in normal times. This also creates a false impression for the political commissar, thinking that they are good at bullying their own soldiers, and they must be even more powerful on the battlefield. Little do they know that these guys are all strong on the outside but weak on the inside and are completely useless.

A war now shows what these guys are capable of. Not to mention picking up guns to fight the enemy, they don't even have that much willpower to escape. They all fell behind within 30km and were directly captured by the Chahar army.

The political commissar of the Far Eastern Military District sat in the car with a pale face. He was almost unable to support himself now, and even when he ran away, he had to be pulled by two strong soldiers beside him.

Apart from him, there was only Marshal Timoshenko who was sitting in the front with a painful look on his face. After all, he was a man who had been on the battlefield, so he was still able to resist this. He also knew that this failure was too complete. Hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. If the First Army had not been transferred to the opposite side of the Japanese at the beginning, the entire Far East region would now belong to Chahar soldiers and would have nothing to do with him.

"Your Excellency Marshal, should we organize a defense line in Ulanmude? The enemy's armored forces have already arrived here." The officer on duty quickly rode his horse to the marshal. Although the army was now in disarray, there were still more than 1 troops following Marshal Timoshenko. At present, it was still very good. Their army of more than 1 people still maintained the original organization and did not escape and disperse. These were the few remaining elite troops in the Soviet army.

"Order the troops not to stop in Ulan-Ude, but to go straight to Irkutsk. Only there are two regiments of ours to defend against the enemy's attack. Defending in Ulan-Ude is simply a matter of life and death." Marshal Timoshenko was indeed a good soldier. Now this guy still maintained his military calm. He knew very well that if the troops stopped in Ulan-Ude, there would be no good results. So let's continue to run away.
