Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

In the face of the chaotic scene where the building was about to fall, the Westerners in Moscow were convinced without hesitation that the fall of the red capital was imminent.With the fall of Moscow, the red giant of the Soviet Union is about to collapse.

A reporter from the Associated Press issued a report: "Lenin's tomb is closed." In fact, Lenin's body was transferred as early as July 7, and it was used as a sign of the end of the Soviet Union.At the intersection of Gorky Avenue and Kuznetsov Bridge Avenue, the reporter who was about to leave Moscow for Kuibyshev saw a Soviet cavalryman talking to the police, as if asking where the front line was.The reporter almost gloated and shouted: "Go straight along the Mozhaisk Highway, it's not far from here!"

On December 12, as the situation on the front continued to deteriorate, scenes of panic appeared in Moscow.There were rumors among the residents that the tanks of the Dragon Army might enter the city at any time, and there were also rumors that Stalin had stepped down. The panic caused chaos throughout the city.Some lawbreakers began to take advantage of the fire.Stores, trucks carrying canned goods, and even British and American embassies were looted.Wavering people burned their party cards and removed Stalin's portrait.In residential buildings where some residents had already left, thieves, guided by some money-grubbing caretaker, began stealing openly.

But the anarchy was soon over.In the evening, the staff of Vasily's NKVD quickly let those who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune understand the power of the red regime: 10 out of every 1 residential building managers in Moscow was arrested and shot by them. Thieves suspected of stealing were directly shot on both sides of the road.

A strong iron fist restored order in the city, which made the people understand that Stalin, who was "in charge" was still in Moscow.Although on December 12 and 8, military agencies including the General Staff led by Shabishnikov and the Soviet Air Force Command also withdrew to Kuibyshev, Stalin still passed the remaining General Staff in Moscow. The Combat Group of the Staff, directing the fighting at the front, made the following secret provision in the resolution of December 9: "Comrade Stalin will enter the safe zone tomorrow or later" was vetoed by him himself. On December 12, Moscow publicly broadcast the news that Stalin was still in Moscow.

On the evening of December 12, Stalin convened another meeting of the National Defense Committee.At the beginning of the meeting, Stalin, with a solemn expression, directly asked the people present: "Everyone is very clear about the situation on the front line. Shall we continue to fight in Moscow?"

In front of leaders who say nothing.Everyone naturally answered in the affirmative.Stalin quickly made a series of decisions: Moscow will implement martial law the next day, a curfew will be imposed at night, and lawbreakers can be executed without trial.At the same time, he also made readjustments to Moscow's defense: the frontline defense tasks in the area 50 miles west of Moscow were all handed over to General Zhukov's Western Front Army. General Hugo fought the final battle with the Chinese in Moscow.

In order to prepare for this final battle, the Moscow defense positions that directly protect the city of Moscow are being built in no time.25 workers recruited from various places, collective farm workers, employees, housewives, and the elderly are building fortifications under wind, rain, mud, and severe cold.

在城内也开始了加紧的动员。12月11日，莫斯科志愿人员组成了25个歼击营。为了把这些歼击营部队扩充成3个师。在短短的5天时间内，苏联又招募了1万2千名工人和职员补充到部队当中。新组建的3个师被称为莫斯科共产主义师。为了给共产主义师的机炮营提供武器，莫斯科城内的工厂修复了263门火炮，500挺重机枪和100挺轻机枪，并且从国防航空化学建设支援协会搜集了15000支步枪。

Another day later, Moscow mobilized another four divisions urgently, bringing the direct defensive force of Moscow City to more than 1.

At this moment, Stalin's mood is undoubtedly extremely complicated.Since the beginning of the war.He has always suffered the great pain of constant failure.Millions of troops were wiped out in less than half a year. , Countless tanks, aircraft and artillery were buried in vain, and the almost unstoppable Chinese have now approached the city of Moscow, directly threatening the safety of his country and even himself.Is the fate of the Soviet Union and Stalin really coming to an end?

On December 12, shortly after the Dragon Army made a tactical breakthrough in the section of the 18th Army of the Kalinin Front, the red commander called Zhukov who was in command: "Do you firmly believe that we can hold Moscow?"

"There is no doubt that we can hold Moscow, but we need at least two more army groups and 2 tanks." Zhukov replied confidently.

Stalin on the phone was silent for a while, and then said solemnly: "It's good that you have such confidence. You can call the General Staff to see where to gather the two reserve armies you want. They It will be ready in the middle of next month, but the tanks are not available yet."

Although Zhukov gave him a lot of confidence, the bad news that continued to come hit him deeply. Perhaps he was worried, so he decided to go to the front line in person.He drove out of Moscow along the Vorokolamsky Highway and inspected the front line that he had never been to before, but Stalin did not stay on the front line for too long. After listening to a report from a commander of the Western Front After that, he hurriedly set foot on his way home.On the way, the car he was riding in broke down on the road.So I had to take another car to leave.At this moment, in order to protect Stalin's safe evacuation, the special train prepared in the suburbs of Moscow and the four planes on the machine factory are on standby at any time.

But Stalin still did not intend to leave Moscow, and he even took his 13-year-old daughter to Moscow.Perhaps the Soviet leader wanted to prove to himself and all the Soviet people through this move that the Chinese people will soon be stopped, not in other places, but in Moscow.

On January 1928, 1, a meeting of the Soviet Politburo was held.

Stalin, who had been keeping a low profile, finally came forward. Accompanied by Politburo Chairman Mikoyan, the actual dictator of the Red Empire walked slowly to the center. Marshal Nikov presided over.The marshal briefly introduced the current situation, especially the situation on the front of Moscow.

"Now, in order for the Chinese to continue their attack on Moscow, the Chinese Supreme Command has deployed new troops again. This time they have transferred two complete infantry divisions from Norway, and a motorized division and two infantry divisions from the Balkans. three motorized divisions, and three infantry divisions each from France and the Netherlands. In addition, Italy, Germany and Spain have sent nearly 11 divisions to us. As of the end of last month, our Western Front has concentrated its forces on the front 34 infantry divisions, 17 armored groups. On the front of Konev's Kalinin Front in the direction of Volokolamsk-Klin and in the direction of Istria, the enemy has concentrated all of the 3rd Panzer Army and the 4th Panzer Army There is an armored group army, supported by nearly a thousand artillery pieces and a powerful aviation group.

In the direction of Tula-Kahira, on the front of the 50th Army, the total strength of the enemy is 17 divisions, and they are also supported by a powerful air group.

The main assault group composed of a part of the enemy's 6th Armored Army composed of 4 armies and enemy troops from France and the Balkans was launched in Zvenigorod, Kubinka, Narofominsk, Poland In the direction of Dolisk, Serpukhov, etc.The assault group was ordered to carry out a frontal assault in order to contain and weaken the defensive forces of our Western Front Army, and then carry out an assault in the direction of Moscow.The Dragon Army High Command launched an assault on the 12th Army of our Kalinin Front Army on December 5th, thus beginning the second phase of the attack on Moscow.

Who Controls Ups and Downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 360 and Five Reservoir Incidents

At the same time, the enemy also launched an assault on the Western Front, that is, on the right flank of the Rokossovsky Army south of the Shosha River.The enemy carried out an auxiliary assault on the Teriyaeva-Sloboda area within the army belt.In that battle, the enemy invested a total of 500 tanks to attack the 30th Army of the Kalinin Front.The group army had a total of 56 light tanks with poor weapons, which could not resist the enemy's attack and was quickly broken through.

From the morning of January 1, the enemy began a rapid attack on Klin from the Volokolamsk region.We have no reserves in this area, because the reserves, by order of the Supreme Command, were transferred to the Volokolamsk region for a counterattack and were held back by the enemy there.On the same day, the Chinese army carried out a powerful assault in the Volokolamsk region.In the direction of Istria, the enemy's 1nd Armored Division and 2 Infantry Divisions attacked.In order to deal with my 2 light tanks, the enemy invested 150 medium tanks.The two sides fought fiercely.The infantry divisions of our Second Army fought particularly tenaciously, but their situation is no longer optimistic.Because according to the latest situation, the vanguard of the enemy has already appeared near Podolsk, and it is entirely possible for them to occupy there in just one day.

"The above are the current actions of the Dragon Army. We haven't found out their new movements yet." Shabeshnikov introduced in a low voice. After the original introduction, Shabeshnikov will transfer the topic to the person in charge Vasily from the local security intelligence, let him talk about the current internal situation in the Soviet Union, and then hand it over to the new chief of the new army intelligence service, Leandney, to analyze the possible targets of the enemy's actions.

But now, as soon as Shabishnikov here finished speaking, Stalin waved his hand heavily, and then he slowly took out shredded tobacco and filled it into the pipe.After taking a deep breath, he said, "Is the enemy ready to attack now?"

"Yes!" Shabishnikov quickly replied: "At present, the assembly of the enemy assault group is almost completed, and the assembly of their follow-up troops and ammunition and fuel has been completed. Now it seems that they will soon turn to the offensive."

"Then where does the General Staff think the enemy will carry out the main assault?"

"The attack should be launched from three lines of defense. For example, from the Volokolamsk area. It seems that Chen Jitang's tank group may once again bypass Tula and attack Kashila. The northern troops will still attack Klin."

Stalin said: "After a series of studies, Comrades Zhudanov and Mikoyan and I agreed that a counterattack should be carried out to the Volokolamsk area, from the Serpukhov area to the 4th Army of the Dragon Army. Flanking another counterattack."

"Supreme Commander." Shabishnikov stood up immediately: "What kind of forces do we use to carry out these counter-assaults? We only have defensive forces, and the number of Chinese troops is much higher than ours, and their The combat power is also much stronger than ours. In this case, I suggest that we should adopt a safe way to defend."

"As I recall, there was the Rokossovsky Army in the Volokolamsk region, as well as the 5th Guards Infantry Division and the 'Doltowa Independent Cavalry Corps' in the Supreme Command Reserve. In addition, in the The Serpukhov area can also use Belov's cavalry corps, Guttman's tank division and the 49th Army, and we can also transfer some troops from other places nearby." Stalin replied coldly.

"I don't think it can be done now." Shabishnikov immediately replied: "The current situation is very special. Those troops are our last reserves. Now, we cannot put these reserves that are a matter of life and death. Take advantage of the winning counter-assault. Because if we fail, there will be no reserves to fill those gaps. We will not be able to consolidate the defensive positions of the armies when the enemy's shock group turns to the offensive."

"Now Zhukov's front army has 9 armies. A few months ago, they only had 6 armies. At that time, they defeated the Chinese attack with 6 armies. Now he has twice as many troops as before. Isn't it true? I still have to back down, isn't this too little, our troops are really that bad!"

"However, Comrade Stalin. You should pay attention to the fact that the entire defensive line of the Western Front has now been greatly lengthened. Including the bend, it is now 600 kilometers long. We have very few reserves in the depths, especially in the center of the defense line. Comrade Zhukov The actual strength in hand is not that much, and many of them have been consumed in previous battles. What's more, the Chinese are constantly attacking, many troops are unstable, and supplies are not very smooth. It is obviously unwise to rush into an attack without any preparation."

"Boris Mikhailovich!" Stalin slapped the table violently: "Do you think you can indulge just by winning a battle? Let me know the plan tonight and tell Zhukov that I want him to launch a counterattack immediately , there must be no mistakes. We must take back the lost positions! We must take them back.”

At this time, everyone in the Moscow Supreme Command was closely watching the situation of the Istria Reservoir, and the staff even called every half an hour to ask about the progress of the embankment, hoping to release the water sooner.

It was not until 1:9 am on January 9 that they received a telegram from the Istria Reservoir: "According to our army's two consecutive days of hard work, we finally blew up the entire dam of the Istria Reservoir. More Fortunately, this morning, there was a sudden downpour of rain. As far as the current situation is concerned, this heavy rain is conducive to increasing the width of the breach. Now after our shelling, the flood has finally washed away the two breaches. So far, East The La River has changed its course, and the river is flooded with water to rush towards the southwestern defense line..."

"Ula!" After hearing the news, everyone present cheered.Some people even said: "Comrades Vasily and Comrades Borshak made great contributions to breaking the embankment. We should give credit to these two comrades!"

However, the officers and soldiers involved in the excavation work were not in a good mood at this time. Boris Yeshlakov, the deputy chief of staff of the Dzerzhinsky Division who participated in the whole process of excavating the embankment, wrote in his combat log that He wrote: "In just a short moment, the ruthless and turbulent torrent seemed to be rolling in. As for the civilians in the flood defense line, especially those who refused to evacuate, how could they escape now? Some of them crawled Going up to the roof, some climbed the treetops, and the sound of crying and calling for help was mixed together... In the endless waves, only sparse treetops rippling on the water surface, the undulating waves rolled up wood, utensils, and corpses of all sizes Some children's cradles also drifted with the river, and the sound of crying could be heard intermittently. I don't know how many families died in the flood. It is said that even the whole village and even the whole town have no men, women, children, or children spared..."

When the secret telegram of "successful dike digging" was transmitted to the Kremlin, Stalin read the telegram many times in a row, but he did not show any joy.Instead he shut himself in the house alone.He knows better than anyone else that although the torrential river will temporarily stop the Chinese from attacking and buy time for the assembly of his troops, it will also cause unprecedented serious consequences, flooding the river from Kaluga to Wolverine. The fertile fields of Lokramsko, nearly thousands of miles away, pushed tens of thousands of innocent people into the abyss of suffering and death. The waves as high as 6 to 8 meters quickly engulfed the plains and villages like a moving city wall.On the other side, on the embankment of the Istria Reservoir, looking at the houses floating around in the vast ocean inside the embankment, and all kinds of livestock struggling on the cement, Balshak, who had always been relatively calm, sighed: "I have already Having said that, it is a terrible thing. Although it is a very good idea to use the forces of nature as weapons, this weapon is not suitable for us. Although it has been suggested that the Netherlands and ancient Babylon also used floods as weapons, But I personally think that they were able to do this because they had already prepared, and we were completely hasty this time without any preparation. No one can say what the result will be now. Whether it is a success or a mistake, or let the future Let people judge."

"Sir, your phone number." At this moment, Boris Yeshlakov, the chief of staff responsible for liaison work, handed the receiver to Balshak.

Vasily's voice quickly came from inside: "Comrade Milyakudriash Borshak? Just now, Comrade Stalin and the Supreme Command agreed that you were meritorious for breaking the embankment, and are going to award you a medal for bravery, and separately You will be rewarded with 3 rubles."

"Thanks, Comrade Stalin, and thanks to the Bolsheviks." Bolshak replied immediately: "But you know, I did not take part in this work because of money or medals, I just hope that our entire nation will not be in danger !”.

"I understand what you mean, Miliakudriash, but this is a reward from Comrade Stalin. You know, there are not many people who can get a reward from Comrade Stalin!" Vasily's words were full of threats.

"Well then, thank Comrade Stalin for me!"

"There is one more thing I need to ask you. Please send someone to blow up the power distribution station of the Istria Reservoir and nearby houses and trees."

Hearing this strange order, Balshak was a little puzzled, "Why?"

Vasily suddenly said loudly: "This is an order and must be carried out." He then said, "You send a telegram directly to the Supreme Command and the Ministry of Water Resources, saying that a large number of Dragon Army planes bombed the embankment of the Istria Reservoir, The time is January 1."

"it is good."

Who is in charge of ups and downs: World War III (closed volume) Chapter 360 and six

On January 1, newspapers such as "Pravda" and "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published in Moscow published shocking news: heavy rain on the front line, and the breach of the Istria reservoir.Pravda Moscow 10 am.When the Chinese army stormed our positions near Volokramsko and the Istria Reservoir on the 9th, because our left wing resisted strongly based on the Istria Reservoir, the enemy saw that the line of defense was difficult to break through, so they used heavy bombers and artillery Violent bombing, a section of the Istria Reservoir dam was bombed, causing a breach, flooding, and the situation was serious.After the levee on the south bank of the Istria Reservoir broke through the stormy enemy, the flood flooded from the Istria River and Kaluga to the southwest defense line. The flood has caused a large number of casualties and property losses, but such floods cannot wash away The belief in the triumph of our great Soviet people.We will unite and fight the Chinese dictator to the last!

On the afternoon of January 1th, the ITAR-TASS news agency sent another message: China sent more than 10 planes, and in the early morning of January 30th, they flew to the Istria Highlands on the south bank of the Istria Reservoir and bombed them wantonly, dropping a total of 1 bombs. Ten bombs destroyed several villages.The bombing was expanded at the breach of the Istria Reservoir, until the water became more and more violent, and it was impossible to save it.

On the same day, Molotov, chairman of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Council, held a large-scale press conference in Moscow. In this reception, he reported that after the Chinese heavy bombers bombed the Istria embankment, he said: "Historically, various All kinds of floods are caused by natural disasters, but the violent Chinese used the sharp weapon of civilization and manpower to breach the Istria Reservoir in an attempt to drown countless Red Army soldiers and residents in the war zone on our front line. It has reached the peak, and it is indeed the public enemy of mankind all over the world!"

A reporter from the Associated Press asked: "Although the Chinese side has not yet drawn a conclusion, some Chinese officials have claimed that the breach was a hoax concocted by the Soviet government itself. What is your comment, Mr. Chairman?"

"This is really shameless!" Molotov yelled: "The Chinese are used to deceiving and propagating. Not only do they not repent, but they spit out blood and transfer the crime of destroying embankments to us. It is extremely indignant! This kind of framing , it is not worth our argument.”

"Is the Russian government going to block the breached dike?" asked an AFP reporter.

"According to front-line news, due to the heavy rain in the upper reaches, the water flow in the Istria Reservoir has skyrocketed, and enemy planes have expanded their bombing at the breach, so that the breach is getting bigger and bigger, and the water is getting stronger, so it is impossible to save it for a while." Molotov The tone became low, "The residents in our war zone are flooded day by day, homeless, struggling on the verge of death, how can the government let it go? The government will stop the breach as soon as possible at any cost, so as to reduce the suffering of the people in the war zone. Right now, frontline soldiers are working on disaster relief."

A reporter from the "Washington Post" asked: "It is reported that tens of thousands of disaster victims have gathered near the Istria Reservoir. They are in a very difficult situation, without food and water. Faced with such a situation, what does your government have? No rescue measures?"
