Chapter 596: The Red Flag Flutters in St. Petersburg
The battle in St. Petersburg was fierce, and more than 100,000 St. Petersburg workers with sophisticated guns and artillery suddenly attacked, which immediately stunned the Russian police in St. Petersburg. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tsarist armed police force, which usually bullied men and women, turned into an outlet for the revenge of the workers and citizens of St. Petersburg.
Da-da-da-da!
The streets were filled with bullets, and the St. Petersburg police and rioting St. Petersburg workers were encountered.
The police of the Russian Empire were equipped with long guns, which gave them great power to maintain law and order, but it also became a criminal tool for them to bully men and women, and to bully the workers and peasants of St. Petersburg.
The St. Petersburg police force, which has always been high-spirited, never imagined that one day they would be attacked by a riot by the citizens, and some unprepared Russian policemen were shot dead. The rioting revolutionaries even abused the corpses of the Russian policemen to vent their anger, while taking the other party's guns and distributing them to other citizens who watched the excitement.
After a brief panic, when the lively citizens picked up the rifles of the dead tsarist policemen, they really emboldened themselves and participated in the riots in St. Petersburg.
At first, the Tsarist police in St. Petersburg were badly damaged, patrolling the streets in twos and threes, and suddenly faced several times or even dozens of times the attack of the revolutionary army, and soon suffered heavy casualties.
However, after a brief period of panic and a fiasco, the St. Petersburg police department reacted quickly, gathered a large number of officers on duty, and then quickly went to the street intersections to suppress them.
The Tsarist policemen misjudged the situation, they thought it was just a group of rioting citizens, and it was only after the real large-scale exchange of fire between the two sides that the Tsarist policemen understood that this was an ordinary riot, and it was clearly a premeditated and organized large-scale riot.
Riots and riots, one word apart, the situation is diametrically opposed.
The Tsarist police force came under heavy attack like a hail of bullets, and they soon suffered heavy casualties.
"Withdraw the police station, defend with all your might, quickly inform the St. Petersburg garrison, request to suppress the riot!"
The chief of police ordered all the remaining Tsarist police to be withdrawn to the St. Petersburg police station, and then reported the incident to the St. Petersburg Tsarist garrison to quell the riot.
Lieutenant General Toloyev, commander of the Tsarist garrison stationed in the St. Petersburg fortress, had already heard the gunfire in the city, and at first he thought that it was the Tsarist police who were arresting revolutionaries.
Ever since the Tsar ordered the total extermination of the Bolvik revolutionaries, the Tsarist police acted as executioners, arresting everywhere, preferring to kill 10,000 by mistake rather than spare one person, and the whole of St. Petersburg was in turmoil.
Toloev was not very supportive of such an act of white terror, so he was very disgusted by the actions of the Tsarist Police Department in St. Petersburg and often scolded.
"These damn eagle dogs are harming the people again!"
Toloev thought that the tsarist police were threatening the citizens of St. Petersburg for bribes and ransom under the guise of exterminating the revolutionaries.
However, soon the head of the Tsarist Police called and told Toloyev about the revolutionaries' uprising, which made Toloyev feel the seriousness of the situation.
Although disgusted by the harassment of innocent citizens by the tsarist police, if it was a revolutionary uprising, then he, as the commander of the garrison, had to stand up and quell the uprising.
"Gather your troops! Prepare to suppress the riot! ”
The tsarist garrison of St. Petersburg was dispatched, divided into several directions, with the Imperial Palace as the core for protection, and then advanced in all directions.
The St. Petersburg fortress had a full 30,000 tsarist defenders, and in order to suppress the revolutionary uprising, Toloyev sent 10,000 men, divided into 100 centuries, to fight the revolutionary army in the streets and alleys.
But this was exactly what Liening and Starling were tacting, and in order to minimize the losses of the revolutionary army attacking the St. Petersburg fortress, they used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole, deliberately smashed the city to create a riot, and lured out the St. Petersburg garrison.
However, only 10,000 tsarist troops were dispatched, which was not the effect that Liening and Starling wanted, but in line with the principle that mosquito meat is also meat, they did not want this tsarist army to return alive.
"Order Comrade Pabi to immediately lead the first and third teams to surround this tsarist army, strive to annihilate it completely, and never let one go back!"
"The fourth and fifth teams are on guard against the St. Petersburg fortress, and the second team is preparing to storm the palace!"
The battle in the city of St. Petersburg began, this time in a real battle, and the 10,000 tsarist army was very powerful, at least much more powerful than the tsarist police, enough to suppress an ordinary insurrection.
However, soon the tsarist army found out that they underestimated the situation.
The Tsarist army thought that they would be able to kill all the rioters with heavy machine guns, but they found that the other side quickly moved out heavy machine guns, and the two sides exchanged fire, and the fight was inextricable.
"Damn, how come these mobs also have heavy machine guns!"
Not only heavy machine guns, but soon the revolutionary army got mortars.
This is Starling's deal with Hitla, a mortar secretly smuggled in from Germany.
Mortar is a killer weapon taken out by the Chinese Imperial Army during the world war, which has achieved brilliant results in the battlefield of the United States and Japan, and has played an important role in the defeat of the Japanese and American armies by the Chinese Imperial Army.
After the war, countries around the world began to develop mortars, and because of their flexible structure and easy to carry, mortars were very popular with the militaries of various countries.
The German Empire attached great importance to this, and developed and copied a large number of mortars of the Chinese Empire.
Starling knew that against the Tsarist army, if you want to win in the street battle, the artillery power cannot be ignored, but if it is a heavy artillery weapon, it cannot be concealed from the Tsarist intelligence officers, and it is easy to expose the plan, so she finally chose mortars, which are small and flexible, and can be easily smuggled in without being discovered by the Tsarist government.
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
One shell after another of the artillery guns ejected from the chambers, and the Tsarist army was suddenly bombarded with blood flowing on their backs.
"How is this possible?"
Toloev saw the situation in the city clearly through a telescope above the St. Petersburg fortress, and when he found that tens of thousands of rioters surrounded the 10,000 tsarist troops he had sent out, he already felt bad, and then saw that the rioters also had heavy machine guns, and even equipped with mortars and other weapons, Toloyev suddenly realized that he had been deceived.
"Damn it! This is no ordinary riot, this is a rebellion! ”
Insurrection and rebellion are not the same concept, the former is against the government for the sake of some kind of demand, and the latter is a premeditated attempt to overthrow the tsarist regime.
Realizing that the 10,000 Tsarist troops were in danger, Toloyev quickly sent another 10,000 troops.
It's not that he doesn't know that this may be to lure the snake out of the hole, and there may be a huge trap waiting for him ahead, but he has to do it, he can't watch the 10,000 men die in Huangquan, he must rescue them.
"Bring tanks and heavy artillery! I want to see how much ability and energy this Liening has. ”
Toloyev was ruthless, and drove out his most powerful forces, the tank regiment and the artillery regiment, ready to crush the tens of thousands of rebels in one fell swoop, and destroy all the resistance forces in one fell swoop.
However, soon Toloyev was confused.
When the second team of 10,000 people was dispatched, it was ambushed on the way.
Toloev never imagined that in addition to the tens of thousands of rebels surrounding the first 10,000-person squad in the city center, the rebels who ambushed the second 10,000-man squad turned out to be more than twice as large, at least more than 60,000 people.
In front of Toloyev were 100,000 rebels, and everyone had rifles, as well as heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars and other weapons of mass destruction.
The fact that such a scale and such equipment appeared in St. Petersburg, the center of the tsar's rule, is simply devastating and maddening.
There must be the support of foreign forces, otherwise this will never be the case.
Although Toloev realized the seriousness of the problem, he did not have time to think at all, because he soon found out that the tank regiment on which he had high hopes, the T25 advanced tank, had actually been hit critically.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
T25 tanks exploded and caught fire one after another, which simply subverted Toloyev's worldview, and he always believed that the T25 tanks of the Chinese Empire were invincible, because the Tsar's million-strong army was brutally defeated by the T25 tanks.
But right in front of him, those rebels who were despised by Toloev were able to easily blow up those T25 tanks in such a short time.
Looking at the tankmen who climbed out of the T25 tank, covered in flames, the heart-rending screams, although Toloev couldn't hear them, he seemed to feel in his heart that they were shouting something, it must be "help me" or something like that.
"Bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you rebels!"
"Five regiments will fight with me!"
As soon as Toloev gave the order, the adjutant beside him was instantly startled and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Excellency Commander, by all means! Beware of deceit, we have to defend the fortress of St. Petersburg! Once the fortress is lost, we will completely lose St. Petersburg! ”
That's right! Once the fortress is lost, not only St. Petersburg cannot be defended, but even the imperial palace is finished. Although the tsar is no longer in the palace, if the palace is lost, Toloev will also be punished.
Thinking of this, Toloev instantly calmed down.
"Order the fortress artillery to fire! Bombard the rebels with a bang! ”
Previously, Toloev had not ordered the fortress artillery to open fire, because he did not want to hurt innocent citizens, but now he could not care less, whether it was the rebels or the citizens, kill them all.
Toloev made this decision out of necessity, but this was exactly what Lenin and Starin wanted to see, they let the revolutionary army mix with the citizens from the beginning, to put it bluntly, they wanted to drag all the citizens who did not support their revolution or had a neutral attitude, and drag them all into the water, only in this way could they set off a larger-scale uprising and increase the size of the revolutionary army.
Sure enough, when the artillery of the St. Petersburg fortress opened fire, the indiscriminate shelling also injured the innocent citizens.
So at the instigation and instigation of the revolutionaries, more citizens angrily joined the revolutionary army and waged war against the Tsarist army.
Of course, the strength of the revolutionary army was strong, at least without the help of these citizens who did not know anything, and the revolutionary army quickly adjusted its strategy, and a trained rocket launcher unit quietly approached the St. Petersburg fortress and aimed at the fortress artillery positions of the tsarist defenders.
Sou! Whoosh!
Rockets whistled out, and a few seconds later, the fortifications of the St. Petersburg fortress were pierced by rockets, causing a sea of fire on the artillery positions and inflicting a large number of casualties on the tsarist army.
Rockets, a new weapon, allowed the revolutionary army to dominate the battlefield situation, and also made the tsarist defenders extremely passive.
Toloev was also alarmed, and this time he experienced first-hand the power of the rockets of the revolutionary army.
The armor-piercing warhead of this rocket was able to destroy not only tanks, but also fortress defenses, and Toloyev, who was full of cannon fodder, got up, and many of his subordinates around him were killed by rockets.
"Hold it off for me! Kill these mobs! ”
Toloyev was furious and even personally joined the battle with a heavy machine gun, firing wildly at those revolutionaries.
Toloev took the lead and indeed played an exemplary role, which greatly boosted the morale of the tsarist army. However, in the end, it could not stop the huge number of revolutionary troops and the tricky rocket attacks of the revolutionary army.
The encircled Tsarist army was completely annihilated one after another, and Toloyev led the last remnants of the army to resist and not surrender to death.
In order to speed up the end of the battle and take control of St. Petersburg and the Imperial Palace as soon as possible, Lenin and Starling took Nicholas II to the battlefield.
When Nicholas II appealed to Toloyev for help, Toloyev was instantly dumbfounded, as were the remnants of the tsarist army, their emperor had already been captured, and they could no longer hold on to the fight.
Toloev lamented, pulled out his matching gun, and committed suicide in front of the Tsar, which was almost his only option.
The remnants of the Tsarist army then laid down their arms and surrendered, and the revolutionary army successfully captured the fortress of St. Petersburg.
Finally, there is the Imperial Palace, the strength of the revolutionary army is enough to raze the Imperial Palace, but Liening and Starling do not want to do that, because they know that there is not only one Tsar who dominates the Tsarist Empire, but also a Duma Council, which is full of the nobility of the Tsarist Empire, which controls the economic and military lifeline of the Tsarist Empire.
Liening wanted to take over the entire empire completely, and he knew that although it was easy to occupy one St. Petersburg, it was a very difficult problem to occupy the whole of Russia, not only millions of tsarist troops, but also the Chinese empire that made Liening jealous.
Liening knew that if he couldn't cut through the mess quickly, then once it was known by the Chinese Empire and caused the Chinese Empire to intervene, then I was afraid that the whole of Russia would be annexed, which was definitely not the result that Liening wanted to see.
Pushing Tsar Nicholas II to the front of the palace, Ryning and Starling were betting that the nobles of the Duma Council would finally compromise.
At the very moment when the battle for St. Petersburg began, the intelligence officers of the Chinese Empire had already quickly telegraphed the incident to Li Weiguo.
"This Lie Ning isn't even dead?"
"Female Starlene?"
"Is this Nima all a tease invited by the monkey?"
Li Weiguo was scorched by thunder in the imperial study, but the appearance of the Red Empire had already aroused his vigilance. (To be continued.) )
