(1st Shift, 4th Shift Today)

When Dudayev's government lost the support of the Sufis, the format of the battlefield was quickly reversed. Kadyrov's troops withdrew from the war one after another, moved to secular territory, and waited and saw what happened, leaving only the Wahhabis and foreign mercenaries to face the torrent of Soviet steel.

And Yanayev naturally reciprocated, and he ordered the Soviet troops to attack Dudayev's army with all their might, and as long as the other side did not take the lead in provoking the area where Kadyrov's troops were stationed, he tried not to take the offensive approach. As a result, in the Chechen war, you will see a jaw-dropping scene, the commander of the rebel army and the commander of the Soviet army sit together and talk and laugh, and even exchange information between Dudayev's troops to guide the Soviet army to attack the target.

In this regard, Dudayev was even more furious, he believed that Kadyrov had betrayed Chechnya and betrayed independence, and under the instigation of foreign armed men with ulterior motives, Dudayev's assassination plan for Kadyrov was also closely prepared. The contradictions between the two factions have reached a critical point of eruption.

After the loss of Gudermes, Cherenvnaya, Argun and Urusmardan, the Soviet troops had advanced to the outskirts of Grozny, where the Soviet troops finally met with decent resistance, unlike the previous mixed army, the well-equipped regular army and the internal affairs troops in charge of guerrilla warfare temporarily slowed down the advance of the Soviet army.

Although the T62 was an outdated tank, the 115mm shells it fired were just as deadly. And the anti-aircraft guns of the Shilka River deployed in the town also stopped the attack of the Hind helicopters, temporarily buying a respite for the fortified defenses of Grozny before the rocket artillery positions were not ready.

It's late February. The harsh winter is gradually passing. Warm spring is coming. The Soviets planned the final offensive. Take Grozny and settle the rebellion in Chechnya in one fell swoop.

And Yanayev made a surprising decision on this day, he was going to the front to supervise the battle, and the general secretary personally went into battle to show his determination to conquer Chechnya. Yanayev firmly believed that before you saw the enemy, the word would spread among them, so the great Soviet could not admit defeat, even if Yanayev was only doing charcoal in the snow.

Although it was unanimously opposed by the high-level. But no one could stop Yanayev from going his own way. In the end, as a last resort, the others reached a compromise agreement with Yanayev, and the general secretary could go to the front, only to patrol the safe rear camp, and only for one day, and then return as soon as it was over.

As a result, Yanayev became the first general secretary of the Soviet Union to go to the front to inspire and mobilize soldiers, which even Stalin in the Great Patriotic War did not have such courage and courage.

The weather in Chechnya was still bad, and after the snow melted in early spring, there were muddy roads everywhere, and stepping on it would leave a deep mark, and Yanayev drove towards the camp in a bumpy jeep, full of holes as far as the eye could see. Broken arms, the great city once built by the Soviet government was reduced to ruins under artillery fire.

"Compared to the devastation of war. It is the restoration work after the war and the maintenance of order that are even more arduous. Looking at the Soviet troops patrolling around outside the car window, Yanayev said with some emotion.

In order to welcome the arrival of the general secretary and to maintain Yanayev's security, the internal affairs troops dispatched 10 armored vehicles, 8 tanks, 3 Hind helicopters and nearly 200 soldiers to protect Yanayev's security.

After arriving at the base camp, the soldiers were nervously busy, General Rogionov personally greeted Yanayev at the gate of the base camp, and the heavily armed soldiers and tanks could not help but make people think that they were troops preparing to go to the front battlefield, rather than a guard of honor to greet the president.

After Yanayev got out of the car, he was greeted by General Rogionov, who gave a military salute to the general secretary and said loudly, "Welcome to the base camp for inspection." ”

Yanayev smiled at the soldiers behind him and waved, "Everyone has worked hard. Relax guys, I'm not here today to urge you, but as a volunteer to encourage you. Today I am not the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, but a patriot who hates separatism! ”

Yanayev's words won warm applause from the soldiers, and General Rogionov smiled helplessly, thinking that the general secretary still likes to start in an unreasonable way, but his irrationality has always been respected and loved by the people.

Yanayev knows better than anyone the importance of being close to the people on any occasion, whether it's a political show or a heartfelt speech. If the arrogant bureaucrats of the Soviet Union had been able to do this, the collapse would have been postponed until at least a decade later.

Yanayev stood on the platform, and in front of him were the combat troops who were ready to go to the front, these soldiers who had not yet experienced the baptism of the Chechen war looked very young, and their fighting spirit was reminiscent of the young soldiers of the Great Patriotic War.

"Dear fighters, as you can see, every day in the rear is preaching about the great victory in Chechnya, how many enemy troops the Soviet army has annihilated, how many cities have been conquered. You may think that this is nothing more than a way to stabilize people's hearts, but I can tell you here responsibly that our army is indeed moving towards a great victory, the victory of good over evil, and the great Soviet army that belongs to the loyal people! ”

"Splitting the Motherland will be punished severely, Dudayev and his followers use religious teachings to deceive people, they try in vain to think that our economy is not working, that society is in turmoil, and that the Soviet Union will be able to destroy our territorial integrity and split our national sovereignty at the most difficult moment. But I'm going to tell these people that they're wrong! ”

"During the October Revolution, the Soviet regime was born on the corpses of the old Tsarist Russia, and everyone thought that the fragile new regime would be strangled in the cradle. But we stood up and achieved great and astonishing things, and in just a few decades since 1945, we became one of the most powerful nations in the world, and those that had tried to strangle us trembled in the shadows. ”

General Rodionov stood by and observed the crowd, and under Yanayev's stirring speech, the soldier, whose calm expression slowly became short of breath, and there was a surprising light in his eyes, as if he was looking at his great spiritual leader.

Even the soldiers who were busy at their posts stopped their work and quietly listened to Yanayev's impassioned speech on the stage.

"And now, again, the Soviets are facing a major test." Yanayev pointed to Grozny in front of him, and everyone followed his gesture to look back and see the town with billowing smoke. At this time, hail rocket artillery was indiscriminately bombarding the towns on the outskirts of Grozny, and some of the rebels who were entrenched in the towns were not retreating, and they were completely a joke in the face of the powerful Soviet army without a fortress.

"Soldiers, in the city before you, the undying extremists are relying on the last city to resist stubbornly, let us put an end to it today, the glory of Soviet victory will finally shine on the whole of Grozny, and the great companion of glory will follow you all the way with your neat steps! Despicable enemies have nowhere to hide, they will crush under our iron fist and pay the price for what they have done! ”

"Ulla!" Yanayev raised his fist and shouted. The reporter accompanying the army raised his camera and secretly recorded the scene of the general secretary raising his arms and shouting.

Under the passionate atmosphere, the soldiers excitedly raised their Kalashnikov rifles, even in the environment of the earth-shattering cannon, they could not hide the strong emotion. Morale was high, and they shouted in unison with Yanayev.

"Ulla!"

The slogans of the charge resounded throughout the Chechen sky. (To be continued.) )
