Chapter 124: Stalin's Death
As more and more truths are revealed, the aura of mystery that hangs over Stalin is fading.
Muscovites began to discover that the collar sleeves they had previously embraced and were willing to protect with their lives were not so flawless, and even had too much blood and cruelty on them.
And the party they worked for, the Bolshevik Party, was not so pure at all. There are too many dirty, dirty things in this party.
So, for whom exactly are Muscovites shedding their blood and dying for it?
Half of Moscow is now in ruins. It's the result of perseverance over such a long period of time. If it only takes a few days to destroy a city, then it will take a lot of revenge to rebuild a city.
Chinese soldiers and Tanyak can be seen everywhere on the streets, indicating that the city is completely in the hands of the Chinese.
Now only one last thing remains for the top Chinese military generals: where exactly is Stalin?
March 3. On Sunday, Wu Peixiang, commander-in-chief of the Russian Army in China, entered Moscow, and he set up his temporary headquarters in the Kremlin. He did not have time to admire the view, but at the first time he was brought to himself Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, perhaps from his mouth to get Stalin's whereabouts.
"Mr. Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov." Wu Peixiang spoke in a rather polite tone: "I would like to express my congratulations to you for your heroic and outstanding performance in the defense of Moscow.
"Thank you, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." Zhukov behaved equally very politely.
The war is over, what kind of responsibility Zhukov should bear in this war, and what kind of crime he will be sentenced to, that is a matter for the government, and it has nothing to do with Wu Peihu.
Wu Peifu still has a lot of respect for Zhukov, and being able to resist the powerful Chinese army for so long with a hopeless and supportless city is respectable enough from this point alone.
"I have to ask you a question." Wu Peihu looked directly at Zhukov: "Your chief secretary Stalin, do you know his whereabouts?" ”
Zhukov was silent there.
Wu Peixiang smiled: "Of course you can not answer, and I will not use any torture to force you to answer, but I still hope you can answer." Mr. Zhukov, you must know one thing first, the special court is being established, this is a special court organized by China and Russia, although we are not willing to kill too many people, but those of the White Guards, but those who want to kill as many people as possible, especially the senior leader of the Red elements like you, .......
"Sir, I don't really care too much about personal life and death." Zhukov said with a calm expression: "From the first day I joined the Bolsheviks, I was ready to sacrifice. I consider it glorious and sacred to dedicate everything I have to the cause I love. ”
Wu Peifu had heard of these Bolshevik stubbornness, and he was not angry at all: "Of course, I know that you are very brave and will not fear death and bloodshed, but 1 have you thought about your compatriots? I can reveal something to you that you shouldn't have known in the first place. In the order I received that I had to arrest Stalin by the end of April, the order was to order you and I to be soldiers and we should understand this. But to be honest, I don't have any information about Stalin's whereabouts at the moment, so I can only go through the city to hunt down all suspicious elements and burn all the suspicious targets that I think may be a threat. Mr. Zhukov, there will be a lot of bloodshed, Moscow has just been devastated by the war.1 I myself do not want it to be subjected to another terrible destruction...... "...,
Zhukov was silent there.
He knew that the Chinese were not there to threaten him, but were telling the truth. The Chinese will be desperate to catch Stalin, regardless of the means, after all, this is not their city.
Stalin, or the people of Moscow? Zhukov was caught in a dilemma.
"Actually, whether you say it or not1 we will catch Stalin, it's just a matter of time." Wu Peixiang said lightly: "Millions of troops have failed, do you think that only those people that Stalin is now with him can protect his safety?" No, it's ridiculous, he has nowhere to go! ”
Zhukov, albeit reluctantly, had to admit it.
After a long silence, Zhukov finally spoke: "Can you guarantee that in the event of the capture of Comrade Stalin, no further harm will be inflicted on Moscow?" ”
"I promise." Wu Peixiang replied seriously.
Zhukov's expression was a little painful, and his voice was not very loud: "I'm not actually sure. But in the south-west of Moscow there was an abandoned collective farm. Before the Battle of Moscow, I received a special order to secretly transform it into a fortress without anyone else knowing1, and a large amount of supplies were transported there, enough to feed a few hundred people for two months. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhukov." Wu Peifu stood up: "In addition to fulfilling my promise to you, moreover, in the future special court, I will secretly report to the special court for your assistance to us, which can reduce the sentence against you and ensure your reputation to the greatest extent." ”
Reputation? Do you still have any reputation now? Zhukov smiled bitterly in his heart......
Zhukov was right, Stalin, Shaposhnikov, and some of the leading leaders of Soviet Russia were hidden in an abandoned but renovated collective farm southwest of Moscow.
I can't imagine that these big people who used to be powerful can now only hide here like a mouse
Of course, there are some defenses here, there are secret bunkers, there are artillery, and there are even two Tanyak Xs, but from the outside, you can't see any clues in this desolate place.
After escaping from the Kremlin, Stalin's face remained very gloomy. Everyone didn't dare to disturb the secretary general, for fear of three of his outbursts.
"Isn't there any news yet from Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov?" Sitting in a gloomy room underground, Stalin suddenly asked questions.
"No, Comrade General Secretary. , 1 Yenov said desperately: "Since the last telegram, we and Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov have lost their connection, and our people have not found his name in the list of prisoners published by the Chinese. Or, he has already dedicated his life to our cause......"
"I hope so, I hope so." Stalin muttered: "He was sacrificed as a martyr, but if he became a prisoner, the consequences would be unimaginable, only he knew best." ”
A chill broke out of Yenov's heart.
Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov fought bloody battles with heroic Red Army soldiers to the last moment in order to defend Moscow and Stalin, but now Stalin is not thinking about his safety, but thinking about whether Zhukov will leak his mistress here.
Yenov began to believe that Stalin would not shed even a single tear if one of the people here was captured.
Shaposhnikov hurriedly walked in, he did not know what had happened here before: "Comrade Secretary General, just now we were in the secret post outside, and we found some people wandering outside the collective farm, their whereabouts are secret, it is very likely that the Chinese have noticed something hidden here." ”…,
"Let the comrades prepare for battle." Stalin picked up his pipe.
On March 31, 1941, thanks to the cooperation of Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov, commander-in-chief of the defense of Moscow, the Chinese finally succeeded in locking down Stalin's hideout.
The Chinese did not rush to attack, but were well prepared. About a brigade of troops was mobilized to this collective farm.1 was accompanied by several artillery pieces and eight tanks.
The order given from above was to capture them alive as much as possible, and if there was really no way, they could also be killed. But there was only one purpose, and Stalin must never escape again, and his very existence was a threat.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of the arrest, Wu Peixiang let Cao Stick personally take charge.
Cao Gang also did not rush to attack, but sent a major officer to get in touch with the Russians, hoping that the Russians would get out of the bunker and take the initiative to surrender, although Cao Stick himself knew that this was not realistic!
Sure enough, the request to surrender the boat was denied.
"So, let's attack." Cao Stick finally gave such an order.
In the end, the offensive began. The Chinese army first shelled the bunkers with artillery, and although they destroyed several 1s, the effect was not too obvious.
Zhukov personally designed and supervised the construction of this huge fortification, which was designed in a very rational and scientific way, and could effectively resist the enemy's artillery attack.
Cao Stick began to attack with Tan, but the effect was still not so significant. The Tanyak did not play much of a role in the offensive here, but the opponent's two Tanuks gave the defenders plenty of support.
As a last resort, Cao Stick could only put the infantry into the attack in advance, and it was completely conceivable how difficult the attack was.
It was Stalin's Guards who defended the place, his ace elite force, and even at the most tragic stage of the defense of Moscow, none of these soldiers were put on the battlefield.
They received only one request: to defend the safety of the Supreme Collar's sleeves to the death!
The sound of guns and artillery resounded in Moscow, where the fighting was raging. From the attack on March 31 to April 2, the Chinese did not make much progress for three full days.
They were able to take all of Moscow, but the stubborn underground fortifications seemed a little helpless.
It was Shaposhnikov who directly commanded the Russians to fight, in fact, he now knew very well in his heart that although he temporarily resisted the attack of the Chinese, the fall here was only a matter of time. But Shaposhnikov didn't care, as long as he was alive, as long as he could continue to fight, he would definitely keep the commander-in-chief safe.
On the afternoon of 2 April, the Chinese stopped attacking, and the noisy battlefield suddenly became dead.
A large number of people dressed in strange clothes appeared on the battlefield, and then a large number of gas masks were distributed to the hands of Chinese soldiers. Now, the Chinese are forced to resort to the last resort.
That's a gas attack.
The Chinese have given up the possibility of capturing Stalin alive.
The gas attack began that night, and the effect was quite good, the strong underground fortifications were not prepared for the gas attack, and a large number of unsuspecting Russians fell under the gas.
A huge crack finally appeared in the long-standing defense line, and a large number of Chinese soldiers wearing gas masks began to rush into the underground fortress.
Stalin knew that the last moment had come.
At 10 o'clock that night, he received bad news that Shaposhnikov, who was directing his troops to fight valiantly with the Chinese who stormed the underground fortress under the serious threat of poison gas, was hit by a bullet and his life was in danger. …,
Shaposhnikov was already dying when he was brought to Stalin, and he looked at his esteemed collar with difficulty and said with difficulty: "Comrade General Secretary, I'm sorry that I have done my best. ”
"Boris, Boris." Stalin took his hand and murmured: "You are the most heroic Red Army soldier, you are the most staunch Bolshevik, thank you for everything you have done for us." ”
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Shaposhnikov's mouth: "Comrade Secretary General, the enemy has used poison gas ferociously, and now, this huge underground fortress is about to become our grave, please prepare for the last time, Abba." ”
Stalin nodded silently.
At 11 o'clock on the night of April 2, 1941, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Red Army, Boris Mikhailovich Shaposhnikov, left the mouth of the world because of his wounds
Another man that Stalin trusted was gone, and now the only trustworthy person by his side was Yenoda, but even if Yenov had great ability, he would not be able to resist the attack of Chinese......
When dawn came on April 3, the Chinese army finally stormed the core of the underground fortress!
"Yenov, get me a gun." The sound of guns outside was already clearly audible, and Stalin said suddenly.
Yenov nodded silently, and after a while, a gun was sent to Stalin. Then Yenov turned around and walked out, and the current secretary did not want anyone to disturb him.
Stalin sat there silently, his mind blank.
It's over, it's really over.
The sound of guns outside became more and more intense, and even the shouts of foreign Chinese could be heard. Stalin smiled bitterly and shoved the gun into his mouth.
After a while, a dull sound of gunfire came from the gloomy room......
Stalin, formerly known as Joseph Vissarionovich, Dzhugashvili, was a leader of Soviet Russia. Her father was a shoemaker from a peasant, and her mother was the daughter of a serf.
In 1888 Stalin entered the Gori Church Primary School, and in 1894 he entered the Tbilisi Orthodox Secondary School. In 1889 he became a member of the Socialist Democratic Labour Party. In the 18th year, he was expelled from school for engaging in revolutionary activities.
In 1918, the Russian Civil War broke out. Stalin and Leon Trotsky were elected to the five-member group formed by Lenin. In May of the same year, he was sent to Tsaritsyn to collect grain, in Kliment Voroshilov, Semyon Bujung
With the support of Ni and others, he strengthened his influence in the army. During this period, Stalin repeatedly defied the decisions of Trotsky, then chairman of the Military Revolutionary Committee, and executed many officers in the Red Army who had served in the Tsarist era
"Anti-Revolutionists". In order to force the requisition, he also used the method of burning villages to prevent the food supply from being looted by bandits.
In the end, the Red Army was victorious at the Battle of Tsaritsyn, and at the same time he established political cooperation with the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Army. In honor of his exploits, Tsaritsyn was renamed Stalingrad. Stalin was transferred back to Moscow in early 1919, and in May he was sent to the Western Front near Petrograd, where he severely executed deserters.
In mid-December 1922, Lenin suffered another stroke, and the Plenum of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party tasked Stalin with supervising the implementation of the system laid down for Lenin by doctors. Late on the night of the 22nd, Lenin's health deteriorated further, with his right arm and right leg
Paralyzed, but with a clear mind and clear thinking, he dictated a batch of letters to the new congress of dang. The letter was devoted to his comrades-in-arms or successors, and was devoted to three groups of people, namely Stalin and Trotsky and Zinoviev
and Kamenev, Bukharin and Pidakov, speaking of their merits and pointing out their shortcomings, but without reproach for any of them.
About Stalin, the letter says: "Stalin
I am not sure whether the comrade will be able to use this power with great caution forever and without regard to the secretary of the general office. The letter reads: "Stalin was too rude, and this shortcoming is among us, in our Communist Party
It is perfectly tolerated in people's dealings with each other, but it becomes intolerable in the position of secretary general. Therefore, I advise the comrades to think carefully of a way to remove Stalin from this post and appoint another person to do so
In this position, this person is a little stronger than Comrade Stalin in all other respects, that is, he is more patient, more courteous, more polite, more concerned about his comrades, and less willful, and so on. ”
On 4 January 1923, Lenin made a specific addition to his letter of 24 December, recommending that Stalin be removed from his post as secretary general and that Stalin resign on the recommendation of Lenin's will.
Kamenev, Zinoviev and others disagreed, believing that Lenin's proposal was inappropriate and unanimously elected Stalin as the general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
In the end, Stalin successfully grasped the supreme power in Soviet Russia.
At 6 a.m. on April 3, 1941, Stalin committed suicide in a desperate underground fortress in Moscow.
With the suicide of Stalin, the war in Russia was truly over! )
