Chapter 543： Helmek conflict (2)

Mount Hermek is located six kilometers east of Khmelnik, which is the boundary between the two countries. It is sparsely populated here on weekdays, after all, no one wants to be arrested and questioned by patrol officers.

However, today this mountain is very lively, thousands of people make this Hermek mountain a lot of noise. They cut down trees, dig trenches and dig trenches, as if they wanted to live here.

That's right, this is the pioneer of the 24th Division occupying the mountain, intending to build fortifications on it, and the commander of them is its commander Mizick.

Now Mizick is assigning tasks to his subordinates in a shack. From the emerald green tree trunks and the green grass cover on the shack, it can be seen that this shack has only been erected.

"The 12 mountain cannons in your artillery battalion need to be placed in the nest behind the position, which is conducive to providing firepower for the first-line position. Other wild artillery can be placed on the back of the mountain. As long as the observation post is arranged at the top of the mountain, it has the advantage of counter-artillery. The engineering company helps you build artillery positions, and we can help you when we are done."

Mizk was in the shack, telling his request to his artillery battalion commander. Behind him, there are soldiers hanging up a precise map of the area, and on the other side, there are also officers and soldiers busy laying field telephone lines.

The artillery battalion commander who was listening carefully to Mizick's account nodded and replied. "No problem, just do as you said."

After Mizick sent away the artillery battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Dalton walked in after walking around the position, sweating profusely. Mizick asked quickly.

"What was the result of the inspection round?"

"Don't mention it."

Lieutenant Colonel Dalton, who took two sips of water thirstyly, said after sitting down. "I just went for a stroll. The first battalion that is building a position on the front is okay. The soil there is good, and the tunnel has been built half a meter high. The second battalion on the right is uncomfortable. There is a section below. The rock, go down completely. Dig hard to break your shovel. The second battalion commander asked me to tell you if you can move that section of fortification back two hundred meters."

Hearing what the deputy commander Dalton said, Mizick couldn't help asking. "Which paragraph is it."

"It's the section of the second battalion 5th company. I took a look at the terrain and it happened to be a lot higher than other places. If you move it back two hundred meters, it will become a breakthrough for the flank, which will give the enemy an advantage. ."

Hearing Dalton's words, Mizick couldn't sit still, he took up his military cap and said. "Then I will go and see."

After Mizick came here to observe the second camp position on the spot, it was indeed as the deputy commander said that this section raised a tiny mountain bag, and a pit was dug halfway through, and there was no way to dig it down. The bottom was all rocks.

If you give up here, it will cause great damage to the defense of the next second battalion. Mizick saw the battalion commander who was talking but stopped, and said. "I will come to the regiment to pick up some explosives later, and I will let the engineers from the engineering company teach you how to use them and blast them into a trench."

There is no way, the danger of backing two hundred meters is too great, only the use of explosives. Mizick had to make a trade-off at this time, and he chose to use the few explosives in the regiment.

And his words surprised the second battalion commander. "Use explosives, how much explosives are needed for this."

"Don't worry about so much, I let you use it. According to my estimate, one hundred kilograms of explosives is enough to blow up a line of defense."

No way, now I can only use some of the materials I have stored.

The Romanian army's occupation of Mount Hermek was quickly learned by the Soviet army. There was no way that so many people could be on Mount Hermek. It is strange that the mountain was opened and fired without being discovered.

When the Soviet patrol discovered Romania’s move, it immediately demanded it to withdraw from Mount Hermek. However, it was rejected on the spot by the Romanian side who wanted to find fault. Seeing Romania's move to make a permanent station here, the Soviet soldiers immediately retreated.

Mizk led people to witness the evacuation of the Soviet patrol.

Seeing the Soviet army leaving on horseback, Mizick turned his head and asked Dalton beside him. "Do you see any difference between them?"

"This force should belong to the border guards of the State Political Security Administration. If I expected it, it should belong to the 22nd Tomir Border Guard Corps of the border guards."

Dalton was right. This was indeed a patrol under the Tomir Border Guard Corps on the 22nd day. After the October Revolution, the Russian Border Guard Independence Army, which had guarded the border, was disbanded and was revoked by the Soviet regime. After the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army was formed, the border guard task was temporarily taken over by the Red Army. After the Brest peace treaty was signed, the Soviet-Russian Revolutionary Military Committee decided to set up two groups of guards in the north and west to guard the western border and perform customs duties at the same time.

After the Russian Civil War ended, the Tomir Border Guard Corps was formed on the 22nd day. Because of the tense relations with Romania, the corps has eight independent border battalions. Each independent border battalion administers 3 companies and attached cavalry units to serve as border patrols. Obviously this is one of the company-level patrols.

The captain of the patrol saw Romania occupying Hermek Mountain with great fanfare and ignored his request, he knew it was not easy. So after the request was rejected, he immediately reported it to his superiors non-stop. So it didn't take long for the news of Romania's provocation to reach Zhytomyr.

The commander of the detachment also knew that this matter should not be neglected, and immediately reported the news to his superiors. After passing through the layers, the news fell into the hands of Maineski, director of the State Administration of Political Security.

This Maininsky took over his position from Dzerzhinsky, and this one is also a ruthless character. The expulsion of Trotsky from the Soviet Union was done by the State Political Security Administration under his leadership. Although it was instructed by Stalin, it can also be seen that Stalin attached great importance to him.

In 19271928 ~ www.novelhall.com ~ all the well-known opposition figures, about 150 people, were all deported from Moscow to remote cities under the supervision of representatives of the State Political Security Administration.

In addition, he also initiated several trials. The "Shakhtin Case" in 1928, the "Destructive Organization Case of Bourgeois Experts in the Shakhtin Mining Area of ​​Donbas", the "Industrial Party" series of cases, the "Industrial Sector Sabotage Case" in 1930, and the "Working Peasants Party" The 1930 "Agricultural Sector Sabotage Case".

This person can be described as unscrupulous in engaging in political struggle.

Once, someone found a trusted confidant of Trotsky and said that he could get an offset transcriber to copy their documents for the opposition. But at this moment, people from the Political Security Bureau came to search and determined that the person was Wrangel's old officer. Therefore, it was announced to the whole country that the opposition was in contact with the Belarusian counter-revolutionaries living abroad. Later, people learned that the so-called old military officer was a spy sent by the State Administration of Political Security.

Trotsky was subsequently expelled from the Soviet Union under the supervision of the State Political Security Directorate.

So when he got the report of Romania's provocation, he immediately set off for the Kremlin. Now he needs to let the great Comrade Stalin decide his attitude towards the Romanians.
