Chapter 652: Stalin's Good Fortune (Part I)
The impact of the Red Army's defeat in the first battle was enormous, and the morale of the originally demoralized Russian government forces was regained because of this victory, and the originally entangled situation showed signs of a counteroffensive
Coupled with the steady arrival of allied weapons, the abundant supply of ammunition for the government troops, and the growing morale of the Soviet army, all this developed towards an unfavorable situation for the Soviets
In the face of this situation, the Soviet Military Council convened an emergency meeting, and Lenin called on the commanders and fighters of the Red Army to break the enemy's blockade with a fearless spirit and to contribute their youth and blood to the victory of the Soviet revolution
In addition to the slogan call, the Soviet Military Council also introduced a new economic policy, the rations of the common people in the base areas were further reduced, a large number of materials were concentrated for the soldiers fighting on the front line, under the strong political propaganda and agitation of the Soviets, the common people were also willing to hand over the last bit of food in their hands to support the Red Army's battle to defend their homeland, many Russian low-level ordinary people even sent their sons to the conscription office, let them take guns to defend the fruits of the Soviets' victory, this series of moves will concentrate all the materials that can be concentrated in the Soviet base areas, the Red Army is facing a moment of life and death, and Lenin can only concentrate all his strength to fight against the water
In the Moscow area, Stalin faced the encirclement and suppression of Prince Fedorov, and had to face St. Petersburg alone, Stalin's Eighth Army was expanded from the original 50,000 elite army, and later Stalin raided Rzhev, and recruited 100,000 government army recruits to get a total of 80,000 people, and then the Red Army successively conquered more than a dozen towns and villages around it, and the scale of the Red Army also expanded to 300,000 in a terrifying way, although the experienced soldiers were still only the 50,000 at the beginning, but after all, there were more people, and the momentum was more and more, and the impact was getting bigger and bigger
Now Prince Fedorov is concentrating a million-strong army of Tsarist Russia to besiege Moscow, and Prince Fedorov, who wants to restore the legal system of the Russian royal family, has even said in public that he wants to ascend the throne of the tsar in the Kremlin in Moscow
In order to support Prince Fedorov's quick takedown of Moscow, the Western Coalition Command sent an air force unit to help in the war, although most of the aircraft were old models, and some were even old antiques that were retired during World War II, but compared to the Soviet Red Army, which lacked the supply of weapons and ammunition, these aircraft still had good deterrence and lethality
Moscow Kremlin
Stalin was nervously arranging troops, encircling and suppressing a million-strong army, and with the support of the weapons and equipment of the Western coalition forces, the Red Army was at an absolute disadvantage no matter how you look at this war, and even within the Red Army there was a fear of war, and in addition to the personnel promotion and equipment transfer brought about by the rapid expansion of personnel, these things made Stalin very busy
Comrade Stalin's Seventh Army had moved all to the designated place, and the invading government troops would be dealt a head-on blow, and Tchaikovsky said loudly
Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Tchaikovsky, how is the morale of the troops now, Stalin raised his head and said with some tiredness, he has been working for eighteen hours in a row, and it is false to say that he is not tired, but thinking about the current difficult situation, no matter how tired he is, he can only work mentally
The morale of the veterans we brought from St. Petersburg is still high, but the newly formed armies are not very stable, and now the political commissars of the armies are acting urgently to calm the mood of the soldiers and raise their will to fight, Tchaikovsky said loudly
It's good to tell the political commissars of the armies, the government army is just a rabble, there is nothing to fear, and to tell them that Stalin will be with them, Stalin said very firmly
Don't worry, Comrade Stalin, we will definitely succeed in defending Moscow, Tchaikovsky said with some excitement
You go, I still have to deal with some material transfers, and Stalin waved his hand tiredly
Comrade Stalin, please pay attention to your health, the soldiers all want their leader to stand at the top with a hundred times the spirit at all times, Tchaikovsky whispered..., thank you, I will arrange the time reasonably, Stalin had a smile on his face, now Tchaikovsky has completely become his henchman, and the entire Seventh Army is only a leader of Stalin, it can be said that although Stalin's wings are not full, he is already a figure that cannot be underestimated by all forces
On the western outskirts of Moscow was a hilly area, which was extremely suitable for blocking, and in Stalin's defense plan, this hill was also an important part of the defense, and the person responsible for guarding this hill was the commander of the 6th Division and 3rd Regiment of the 12th Army of the Seventh Army, supplemented by political commissar Gisaksky, and the two men immediately marched to this hilly area after receiving the order
It was reported that Comrade Regiment Commander had lost contact with the regimental headquarters and the 1st Battalion, and at present the specific movements of the 1st Battalion were not known, and the scouts suddenly came to report
What the hell Zhukov is doing, I just said, how can such a cavalry company commander serve as the commander of the first battalion of my heroic third regiment, and immediately dispatched people to look for it, if I delay the war mission, I will kill him with my own hands, Moria is the auxiliary, and roared loudly
It's this kid again, what does he want to do this time, regiment commander, I have long said that this kid is a thorn, it must be a big trouble to come to our regiment, now it has come true, political commissar Jisaksky is also very dissatisfied with Zhukov, this cavalry company commander from the cavalry regiment is too energetic, and likes to dictate the orders of the regiment headquarters, which makes the entire regiment headquarters dislike him, after all, a cavalry general commanding an infantry general will give people a sense of shame
On a forest path fifty miles from the hilly terrain, several hundred Red Army soldiers were advancing
Battalion commander, we act rashly like this, and when we go back, the regiment commander will definitely not let go of our first battalion, said Solovvich, the political commissar of our battalion
It's too late to say anything now, we're on the wrong path, we've already separated from the main force of the regimental headquarters, if my prediction is correct, I'm afraid we're already far away from Moscow, and now the first thing to do now is not to find the regimental headquarters, but to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, I feel that we are not very far from the government army, and the twenty-six-year-old Zhukov's face is full of youthful vitality, but now his face is more solemn
Battalion commander, do you want to use our mere 480 people to attack the enemy's million-strong army, you won't go crazy, Solovvich said with a face of disbelief, he knew that this guy in front of him was bold, but he didn't expect him to be so bold that he didn't want to die
Of course it's not that it's not enough for us people to run into a large army of the government army, what I mean is that we can lurk in the rear of the enemy, attack the enemy's supply lines and logistics troops, and disrupt the intensity of the government army's attack, as long as we act flexibly, things still have a lot to do, Zhukov said loudly
As far as our battalion commander is concerned, I do not agree with your decision, I ask you to immediately lead the troops to find the right path to report to the regimental headquarters, Solovvich said loudly
Comrade Solovvich What a great opportunity it is now, we can't afford to waste the opportunity, not to mention that in the Bado hills, our Red Army is stationed in hundreds of thousands, and it is not bad for us to have 480 people, Zhukov said with a smile
But what if there is danger, Solovvich said embarrassedly
I'll take the responsibility, Zhukov said loudly
Buzz Buzz -
There was a roar in the sky
It was the enemy's planes that immediately concealed the news of the enemy's planes' participation in the battle, and the Red Army units hated these iron monsters flying in the air, and the Red Army soldiers, although they did not find a good means of dealing with them, understood that the use of camouflage could deceive the planes' detection
Comrade Political Commissar, I have to tell you that the time has come for us to build a great achievement, and Zhukov said excitedly
Dagong Solovvich was puzzled
The plane that has just flown in the sky is a huge hidden danger for us to defend Moscow, if we can kill them, do you say that it is a great achievement, Zhukov said
You wait, how is it possible to shoot down the plane, according to the information of the regiment headquarters, the plane will not be able to hit even if it is a heavy machine gun, let alone these broken guns in our hands, not to mention that even if we can destroy these planes, we can't reach it, you can't let the soldiers all put wings, Solovvich doesn't understand what Zhukov thinks, those strange ideas in his head are always so unexpected..., Of course, we can't help the plane flying in the sky, but this thing will not stay in the sky forever, as long as it falls to the ground, it is not easy for us to destroy it, from the sound of the plane just now and the situation of the flight, I feel that the enemy's airfield is not far from here, and even said that it is very likely that we have gone around the back of the enemy's army, and it is impossible to go back, Zhukov is also a little unbelievable about his good luck
If this is really the case with the airport, then we may succeed in returning it, Solovvich is also a bold figure, and under Zhukov's persuasion, his mind is also alive
I immediately arranged for someone to investigate, and after I killed these iron birds, it was time for Lao Tzu's official position to be promoted, and Zhukov smiled and went to assign the task
The soldiers of the first battalion were all excited when they heard that they were going to find the lair of the plane, and they were all excited, maybe it was really God who helped Zhukov, and their lost path happened to pass through the line of defense of the government army, and the field airfield of the government army was indeed set up not far from them, and because the government army never expected that a small unit of the Red Army would enter their rear by chance, which made the defense of the airfield useless.
