Volume Three Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 483 Moscow 2
The people of Moscow felt that the war was so close to them for the first time. Since the war started, radio and newspapers have been promoting the heroic Red Army that eliminated many Chinese devils in a certain place, and made great contributions in the war to defend the Soviets. Just over a dozen days ago, the Supreme Soviet claimed that the 1 million main forces of the Chinese and White Bandit Army were surrounded by the Red Army in the Serov area, and the victory of the war was just around the corner. Who would have thought that before the propaganda sound had gone, the China** regiment had already reached 400 kilometers east of Moscow, and the entire Moscow also ushered in the first arrival of the Chinese Air Force.
The powerful abnormality made the people in Moscow and the surrounding areas unacceptable for a moment. Didn’t the above say that the Chinese devils were almost wiped out? Why did they occupy Nizhny Novgorod in a fierce manner and point directly at Moscow? Whose words are true? In the face of reality, all the remarks are useless. After all, the entire Soviet began to panic.
At this time, the "incident" of the small troops of the Chinese devils entering and leaving Moscow, rape and massacre of villagers was disclosed, which caused even more panic among the people. Of course, Stalin's arrangement was still effective. Some ordinary party members with deep poisoning rushed to respond to the central government's call and joined the temporary new troops to fight to defend the Soviets.
But there are also smart people among the people. According to some photos disclosed by the official, some people who have been to China or dealt with Chinese people can see that these incidents are completely fabricated. Although the people in the photos are wearing uniforms of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the styles of wearing military ranks and uniforms are completely different. The most obvious one is a photo of wearing a non-commissioned officer uniform but wearing a major epaulette, and what is even more bizarre is that this major epaulette was the style of the old Beiyang when Yuan Shikai became the president.
You should know that when Fang Zida reorganized the National Defense Forces and formed a new national army, the Chinese team gradually eliminated the original types of military uniforms and ranks, and redesigned and stipulated a unified new military uniform and rank logo. As a person who has some understanding of the Chinese affairs, it is not difficult to see that if the other party was a real Chinese person, he would definitely not have such a dress. If he was not a Chinese person, then what does this photo and the incident represent?
These thoughts flashed through some people's minds. Although they dared not say it, they actually found the real answer in their hearts. With the failure of the battlefield, the victory of the Chinese ** regiment and the Far East Government Army, that is, the orthodox government army of the Russian Empire, these smart people and other people who were already dissatisfied with the rule of the Soviets began to move, thinking about changing the flag and making a secret preparation for the fall of the Soviets.
But overall, the trick Stalin asked Derrensky to play had a lot of results. Just "sacrificing" a small number of people inspired the anger of most people to resist the Chinese devils, and greatly improved the awareness of party members and cadres, allowing them to see that there is absolutely no way out for compromise and surrender.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of public opinion, Stalin instructed the government to send a large number of political cadres to recruit new recruits and form troops. During the more than ten days of the Central ** Regiment's acquisition of Nizhny Novgorod and underwent a short rest, the strength of Moscow's defensive forces suddenly surged from the original 500,000 to 1.2 million.
This is a huge number. Perhaps only governments like the Soviets in the world can do it. Of course, the 1.2 million army is actually only a few guard divisions and local troops. The total number of these troops is only 200,000, and the other 300,000 are recruits who have not completed training. The remaining 700,000 are even worse. They are composed entirely of workers, farmers, students and even women. The youngest of these people is less than 16 years old, and the older ones are even over 50 years old. Not to mention training, there is no equipment. Some people hold rifles that were old ten years old aged more than ten years ago, and some even brought all the hunting rifles at home. As for military uniforms, the troops cannot provide them normally due to time reasons. Everyone wears a variety of clothes. To put it bluntly, this is simply a beggar-like army. Sending these people to the battlefield like this is purely cannon fodder.
Stalin didn't care about these things. He now only needed someone to defend Moscow and defend him, the actual ruler of the Supreme Soviet. The equipment of the 700,000 temporary pieces of the army was a little simpler, but after all, a total of 700,000 people should still play a role. According to the information, the total strength of the Chinese who fought to Nizhny Novgorod was no more than 300,000. Although the Chinese had advanced weapons and well-trained, no matter how they were, they had 1.2 million troops in their hands. Stalin was still very sure of the consumption of four to one. Moreover, Fu Longzhi had also mobilized some troops to reinforce Moscow, and the other Red Army troops who received orders from the west reassured Stalin.
On May 27, the Chinese regiment of Nizhny Novgorod launched its first attack on Moscow after a short rest and supply. The Chinese regiment took the armored forces as the vanguard and advanced westward under the cover of the aircraft, and in one day it reached Vyazniki. The next day, Vyazniki, the vanguard of the Chinese regiment, continued to advance towards Moscow, but this time as it got closer and closer to Moscow, the resistance it encountered became stronger and stronger. The Chinese regiment advanced to the area near Vladimir and encountered a newly formed Red Army unit. A total of 100,000 defenders resisted tenaciously. After a fierce battle, although the Chinese regiment broke through the opponent's defense line several times, the defenders' attack temporarily stopped in order to avoid excessive casualties under the style of fighting against life and death of the defenders.
"Stalin worked hard! I guess he was almost using his strength to feed himself today." Commander-in-chief and General Lu Jianzhang held a temporary military meeting. As the war progressed, he felt more and more comfortable. Moreover, when he received an order from the General Staff, his Northwest Legion was the main assault force for the attack on Moscow, Lu Jianzhang was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
He could imagine that as long as he led his army to take Moscow, it would be the primary contribution of the war. After the war ended, he would definitely not be able to escape the position of a marshal based on his merits in the Sino-Soviet Battle. If not done well, he should be the position of Minister of Defense Lu Jianzhang. You should know that the position of Minister of Defense has always made him jealous, and now he has finally had a chance.
First, the General Staff’s Office’s Office’s combat report was explained. After listening to the battle report, Lu Jianzhang touched the beard on his lips and said with a smile. Generals at all levels who attended the meeting laughed at the same time.
He pressed his hands proudly. After the laughter below gradually stopped, Lu Jianzhang looked at Deng Xihou, the commander of the third armored division who was the main attack mission today.
"Jin Kang, you don't have to be upset when the attack is frustrated today. It is my order to stop for the time being. You won't blame me, right?"
"How could it be? Chief, you are too grateful to your heart to protect your subordinates. However, Chief, although our army has great resistance to attack today, the enemy's losses are several times that of our army. Moreover, Vladimir is the eastern gate of Moscow. If Vladimir is taken down, our army will be able to jump directly into the city of Moscow. We should make a concerted effort and step up the attack. Once the time is delayed for a long time, the enemy's troops will reinforce, and then our army's offensive resistance will be even greater!"
Deng Xihou is known as the crystal monkey. This is a very clear story. Even Bai Chongxi nodded slightly to agree.
"Haha, you are fighting. Our army is going straight in. We really have to use lightning tactics to attack the enemy off guard. However, it is not appropriate to fight with the opponent. Now our army is in the enemy's heart. Once the troops are too injured, it is not worth it for the entire battle situation. Commander Bai can answer this point for everyone. In the battle of Serov, Commander Bai proposed to suspend the attack. Is this the same issue?" Lu Jianzhang asked Bai Chongxi with a smile.
Of course, Bai Chongxi would not deny it. He briefly talked about the tactics used by Fu Longzhi in Serov. He pointed out that the Russians' fighting style is very special. They do not seek victory but only kill the enemy and lose themselves, and use quantity to fight for consumption. Once they fall into the enemy's tactical trap, this is not worth the loss for the entire war.
"But, now that the war has reached this level, the next one is a tough battle! A fierce battle! What we are in front of us is the capital of the enemy. As long as Moscow is taken, the war will be won by more than half. This time, consumption is inevitable, and as long as victory is successful, all costs are acceptable." Liu Mingzhao expressed his opinion as the chief of staff of the Third Armored Division, and his words were also approved by most people. The Battle of Serov is different from the Battle of Moscow. In Serov, he can use another tactic to avoid excessive casualties in the army, but in Moscow, if you want to end this war as soon as possible and completely defeat the Soviets, you must take Moscow. At this time, it is not about the issue of casualties, but about how to completely defeat the enemy and enter Moscow.
"I understand! I understand..." Lu Jianzhang was not angry after hearing this, but smiled and nodded: "I have also fought all my life and have been in the military for decades. How can I not understand this principle? Let me tell you the truth. The reason I called the attack today was the reason I just mentioned, and the second was there a special reason, because I received a telegram from the country temporarily and then I thought about it and stopped the attacking troops."
