"How did the Germans know I was here?" Stalin frowned, and as soon as he came up, he began to ask this sharp question.

He was not frightened by the German bombers, because it was difficult for a man like him to be frightened by life and death.

For Stalin, who was on the verge of danger every day, the brutality of the political struggle, in the USSR in the thirties, was absolutely terrifying.

Living in terror every day, the fear of this becomes dull. Stalin was sluggish, he didn't want to look up at the bombers overhead.

Ordinary people would break down and cry when they heard the howl of the Stuka dive bomber; And the sight of more than 100 planes dropping bombs overhead will scare even the most determined fighters.

But Stalin was not afraid, and the moment he saw the German bomber, the first reaction in his mind was that someone had betrayed him.

The escape from Moscow was itself top secret, and it was impossible for the Germans to get accurate information or accurate retreat routes.

So, the first thing that came to Stalin's mind was that someone revealed his news! This is something more dangerous for him than the German air raids, very, very dangerous.

"Comrade Stalin, the great leader! Perhaps the Germans did not deliberately target us, and this operation did not look like it was deliberately directed against us. Vatutin explained.

As a Soviet officer, he didn't want things complicated, so he subconsciously resisted believing that someone had betrayed him.

After all, if someone betrayed Stalin, then things would have to get complicated. Stalin had a lot of people to deal with, including a lot of innocent people.

Another purge will begin immediately, and the Soviet Union, which is troubled by internal and external troubles, will definitely collapse in this purge, and even lose the war.

And losing this war is not as simple as signing a peace agreement, paying reparations and spitting out some of the territory that has been taken.

This time, the Third Reich wanted the best of the Soviet Union, all the territories on the western side of the Urals, including Moscow!

Because of this, Vatutin did not dare to let Stalin find an opportunity to go berserk, and explained: "If our whereabouts are revealed, then it will not be 100 planes that will attack here." ”

Stalin, who was only worried that his position was threatened by some conspirator usurper, heard this reasonable explanation, closed his mouth and began to think.

At this moment, he is a bit like a frightened bird, leaving Moscow makes him afraid in his bones that he will be deprived of his power.

"Maybe they just spotted our retreating troops, so they're attacking." Vatutin has to say that he is still very talented, and the conclusions of the analysis are almost the truth.

Unfortunately, sometimes the facts are not convincing to the suspicious person. Although Stalin believed Vatutin's explanation, he was even more reluctant to go to Chelyabinsk.

From the bottom of his heart, Stalin was reluctant to go to Chelyabinsk, a place that seemed to represent his defeat and decline.

Therefore, he strengthened his conviction that he was going to Stalingrad: "I will leave immediately, go to Stalingrad!" Go to Stalingrad! Don't go to Chelyabinsk anymore! I don't like it there! Dislike! ”

No matter where you want to go, Vladimir is a place you can't stay. If the Germans had bombed again in the afternoon, there would have been no guarantee that Stalin would have hanged all the dignitaries in Chelyabinsk.

One bombing can be prevaricated by coincidence and the like, and if it is twice, then Stalin must definitely doubt whether he has really been betrayed.

"Of course, we should get out of here!" Vatutin nodded and said to Stalin: "I am already sorting out the troops, as long as there is no chaos, we can leave at noon!" ”

After all, this is not a trip for a few people, just pick up your bag and go. The troops had to eat, they had to form their formations and check their losses, and when they were all ready, they could be mobilized.

"Let's go! You leave your deputy behind as my military adviser and leave with my convoy! Stalin was even more reluctant to wait here, so he spoke.

Looking at the dust on Vatutin's body and his hanging arms, Stalin preferred to regard him as his confidant.

A general who is wounded in a battle sounds more loyal. The tragic image of Vatutin, indeed, made a deep impression on Stalin.

Becoming Stalin's henchman was definitely good news for Vatutin. He hurriedly raised his chin and began to advise Stalin: "If we do not bring a guard division, we will be insufficient in terms of troops, and it is easy for security problems to arise." ”

"Then you go and think of a way to keep me safe and leave immediately!" Stalin stared at Vatutin and gave his own exam questions.

After all, a henchman is one thing, and a henchman who can sit on a solid basis is a candidate of another level. Stalin wanted his henchmen, and he wanted henchmen who could do things.

Vatutin thought for a moment and opened his mouth to give his own answer: "Then we will take the soldiers who are willing to follow us and leave immediately, and those who remain can be used as suspicious soldiers to confuse the enemy's judgment!" ”

Hearing this answer, Stalin felt that it was very standard, and he did not want to move slowly with a group of politicians and officials, which was not a very good choice.

"Let them continue on the original route by train to Chelyabinsk! Let's go to Stalingrad! Stalin decided.

"Then I'll go out, first organize a regiment, cover your escort, and leave together!" Vatujin made up his mind and immediately wanted to turn around and go out to prepare.

The whole of Vladimir was busy, and the train station had already been greeted by Stuka dive bombers, so now it was the worst place.

The armored train was hit by a bomb and was already paralyzed on the tracks, and one of the carriages was even reversed, looking very embarrassed.

The soldiers of the anti-aircraft artillery unit suffered heavy casualties, there were craters and corpses of soldiers on both sides of the tracks, smoke was everywhere, and the railway here was completely paralyzed.

The carpet bombing was mainly concentrated in the west of the city, where there were no more intact buildings, and the first large-scale German attack on the city clearly made a great impression on everyone.

There was still a commotion outside, and when Vatujing went out, he felt that his luck had come, and he was about to soar. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the sky, which was obscured by black smoke and the sun was barely visible.
