Volume Three Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 482 Moscow 1
If anyone in this world knows Stalin best, except for the closest people around Stalin, it is probably Fang Zida. Stalin is a stubborn, arrogant, but has a serious doubt and a very lack of security... People like him will not give up Moscow easily.
Just like World War II in history, the German army group had already reached the city of Moscow, but Stalin still refused to leave Moscow, claiming to be with the people and stay in Moscow to fight the German fascists until the last moment. In the end, Stalin did the same. It was precisely because of his persistence in Moscow that inspired the morale of the people, thus firmly blocking the German attack and finally winning. From this point of view, if the Chinese regiment advances westward and the Bingfeng is directed directly to Moscow, whether based on personal character or political interests, the possibility of Stalin abandoning Moscow and leaving is very small.
Then again, what if Stalin left Moscow? It is not the Napoleon era, and the Soviet Union was not the Russian Empire. The Soviet regime was guaranteed to be based on the rule of the state machine over the lower class. If Stalin abandoned the capital and fled, the Soviet regime would collapse immediately like a building built on the beach. As a qualified dictator, Stalin would not have known this truth.
For these reasons, Fang Zida was very sure to eliminate the Soviet Union in their capital, Moscow. Of course, Wu Peifu was just a soldier, and his lack of politics made him unable to see through this point. This is also the difference between Fang Zida and Wu Peifu.
Seeing that Fang Zida was determined to act alone, Wu Peifu could only reluctantly agree. However, in order to ensure the safety of the Northwest Legion, Wu Peifu still made the request to increase troops on the Soviet battlefield. Regarding this, Fang Zida decided to mobilize two more armies. A total of 120,000 troops heading north to cover the right wing and retreat of the Northwest Legion.
The General Staff revised the combat plan in a very short time. After receiving the order, Lu Jianzhang's troops quickly stopped marching towards Serov and temporarily stayed behind Tagir to assemble. At the same time, Bai Chongxi's armored troops and the army composed of the 101 and 102nd Divisions began to separate from the Serov battlefield and gradually transferred the battlefield to other brother troops. The army formed by the labor camp also marched north from Tyumen to join the battle against Serov as an assist in the offensive. Zhang Huchen's Far East Army spent three days trying to advance westward, but Fu Longzhi saw that things were not done. He voluntarily gave up Kant, retracted the troops back to Serov, and relied on the Ural Mountains in the northwest as a natural barrier to continue to defend Serov.
The mobilization of the Chinese ** regiment was very secretive, and the daily attack on Serov never stopped. Faced with powerful artillery fire, aircraft bombing and the endless harassing attacks of small groups of troops, Fu Longzhi was busy mobilizing troops and dispatching generals. He could not care about the situation of the enemy's armored troops. Furthermore, the city war tanks did not play any role at all. The Chinese armored troops took the initiative to shrink back before being mobilized, which was also the main reason why Fu Longzhi did not feel the abnormality of the enemy.
On April 28, Lu Jianzhang's 120,000 army plus 50,000 supplementary troops, Bai Chongxi's armored troops and 101,102 divisions, with a total of up to 260,000 troops gathered and replenished in Xia Tagil. According to the order of the General Staff, two armored divisions formed an armored cluster, and the entire force was reorganized. Lu Jianzhang served as the commander-in-chief, and the main target of the attack was Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.
On April 29, the entire army marched towards Moscow along the Lower Tagir-Perm-Kirov-Niyd Novgorod and Volga. The Soviet Red Army now focused its main attention on the war's Serov generation. It was never expected that the Central ** Regiment would concentrate 260,000 troops into the heart of the Soviet Union and rush towards Moscow with a fierce momentum.
On May 3, the China National Regiment easily captured Perm and wiped out a division guarding force in Perm. On May 9, a Red Army of Kirov was suddenly surrounded by the China National Regiment. After a night of hard fighting, the entire army surrendered. On May 16, the China National Regiment crossed the Volga River and suddenly captured Novgorod without the Red Army responding, and surrounded and annihilated 70,000 defenders. At the same time, the Chinese Air Force set up an air base in Kirov. Bombers took off from Kirov and crossed the Volga River to the west and dropped the bomb on Stalin's head for the first time. At this time, Stalin in the Kremlin suddenly realized that he realized that the Chinese had actually reached Moscow.
The panicked Stalin quickly mobilized troops to defend, knowing that Nizhny Novgorod was only 400 kilometers away from Moscow, and with the speed of the Chinese regiment's advance, it would take only a few days to reach the city. Moreover, with the emergence of the Chinese air force, the bombs dropped in Moscow caused the hearts of the army and people in the capital to float. For this reason, Stalin decided to give a speech on the radio, indicating that as the leader of the Supreme Soviet, he would set an example, stick to Moscow, and be with his people. He also called on all the people to take up weapons, arm themselves, fight against the invaders, and defend his homeland.
Most of the elite troops of the Red Army were in Serov. In addition to a few guard divisions, Moscow also had 300,000 new troops just formed. These troops had nearly 500,000 people, which was twice the number of the Chinese regiment. However, the senior commanders of the Red Army knew that these troops were not the opponents of the Chinese people at all. If they wanted to defend Moscow, they had to have more troops. There was no other way except to temporarily arm the people to participate in the war.
While arming the people and calling for resistance to the invaders, Stalin immediately asked the Revolutionary Military Commission to order Fu Longzhi on the front line to retreat from Serov and return to Moscow. But who would have thought that Fu Longzhi, who received the order, did not lead the army to withdraw from Serov as Stalin's request. After a night of thought, he took a long telegram to Stalin, explaining the serious consequences of the hasty withdrawal from Serov.
In the telegram, Fulongzhi suggested that Serov's troops draw a front army to reinforce Moscow and do their best to entangle the Chinese who march towards Moscow. As for Serov's other troops, they must not be mobilized, at least not now. Only by defending Serov can we restrain the enemy's strength and win time for the Soviets.
In addition, Fu Longzhi also suggested that Stalin retreat to St. Petersburg and give up Moscow, because from the perspective of terrain and war situation, defending Moscow was not a good idea. However, except for giving up Moscow, the rest of Fu Longzhi's suggestions were accepted by Stalin, but privately it was said that Stalin had lost his temper in his palace and cursed Fu Longzhi in anger, feeling that if Fu Longzhi had not been afraid of the enemy, the Chinese would not easily hit Nizhny Novgorod under their noses.
The war had to continue. Faced with the critical situation, Stalin was a little crazy. He hysterically scolded the members of the Revolutionary Military Commission, and then issued a national mobilization order to form more troops in the shortest time to block the Chinese.
In addition, in order to force the people to stand with him, he not only acted as a guard against Moscow, but also quietly instructed Derzhinsky to carry out a very important political task. Derzhinsky, who received the task, soon found Tatar soldiers with good backgrounds and firm political positions in various troops, or soldiers with similar appearances to the Tatars. He used these people to organize several small teams, and after a short period of training, they put on shoddy imitation Chinese Defense Force uniforms, and then burned, killed, looted, and did everything they could.
These fakes often massacre all the people in a village, and they are even more rude to young women. They rape first and then kill, then rape them... There are even a few old ladies in the village who have unique appetites. After doing the evil, they stand in front of the corpses with their backs and take photos as a souvenir. However, the person who took the photos for them was wearing the uniform of the Red Army instructor. This scene is a great irony.
