786 Sunset Thirteen Dousi of the Soviet Empire

Suiyuan, Baotou, China, Central Headquarters of China G. 9vk

"Comrades! As an internationalist party, we have the obligation to oppose this rule and to help the people there gain independence and freedom! Therefore, I suggest that the central government immediately ......"

It was Wang Ming, a member of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party of China, who was instructed by GC International to escort a group of GCD leaders from Asian countries to Baotou before the Battle of Moscow began. And he now has a new role - the deputy director of the GC International Eastern Bureau. Therefore, he was able to attend the Politburo meeting of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Although the non-voting delegates have no right to speak, this person is not so interested, and at today's meeting, I saw him talking there alone.

"Comrade Wang Ming! Now is not the time to discuss these issues. Mao ZD waved his hand and interrupted Wang Ming's speech impatiently. He glanced at the people in the conference room with a gloomy gaze, and most of the comrades were now sad. After the news of the fascist army's attack on the city of Moscow reached Baotou, the leaders of China and G were very sad...... Except for Zhang Xueliang! This young master Zhang is now looking excited, as if it was the border guards of China and G who entered Moscow.

"Vice Chairman Mao! So what should we discuss now? Discuss sending a congratulatory telegram to the Kuomintang reactionaries, congratulating them on their entry into Moscow? Wang Ming sneered. It's just that the battle for the defense of Moscow has just begun, and the final victory must belong to the Soviet military and civilians! ”

"Hey! The fortified positions on the outskirts of Moscow were broken in three days, and if the city could be held, the sun would really come out from the west. Zhang Xueliang shook his head disdainfully and said: "I think the collapse of the Soviet Union has been a matter of the past two days, so our most important work now is to sum up the lessons of the Soviet Union's failure!" See if we have any similar mistakes, and if so, correct them quickly! So as not to repeat the mistakes of the USSR. ”

"That's right! Comrade Zhang Xueliang's suggestion is very correct. What we are going to talk about now is the wrong line of the USSR and the GC International! Mao ZD took Zhang Xueliang's words and said eloquently: "A strong socialist country has reached the brink of extinction in just a few months. Why is that? It is because the USSR and the GC International have been carrying out a wrong general line these days. It's not just the wrong military line, it's the wrong general line, and it is precisely because of the wrong general line that there will be a wrong military line! Speaking of this, Mao stood up suddenly, waved his arms vigorously, and said loudly: "And the formulator of this erroneous general line is Comrade Stalin, the leader of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union!" It was because of his mistakes that the USSR came to the brink of extinction! So we ...... For the sake of the future and destiny of the entire cause of GCISM, it is time to criticize Stalin's revisionist line! ”

"What!?" Wang Ming's mind buzzed and he was a little confused. Revisionism is no more important in the vocabulary of the international communist movement than left-leaning blind activism, left-leaning adventurism, right-leaning opportunism, and so on. Those are still contradictions among the people, while revisionism is a contradiction between the enemy and ourselves!

"Yes!" Zhou E, the leader of the Chinese G, came to stand up and speak at this time. "According to the analysis of the Central Committee, Stalin's mistake is indeed revisionism! Moreover, not only Stalin and the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, but also many GCDs of the GC International and many countries under the GC International were more or less revisionist errors. Speaking of this, Zhou Elai glanced at Wang Ming coldly, "There are Stalinist revisionists even within our party!" Fortunately, however, the majority of our party comrades were good and were able to consciously resist Stalinist revisionism, so our party did not embark on the wrong line of revisionism, developed and grew, and finally became the mainstay of the entire GC movement! ”

With a "bang", Wang Ming slapped the table, jumped up, and shouted: "Zhou E, come!" Mao ZD! I think you are the real revisionists! The temporary difficulties of the Soviet Union are due to the fact that you revisionists have not carried out the instructions of the GC International, and even worse, you have been in the same league as Chinese imperialism......"

"Shut up!" Gu Shunzhang shouted at this time, interrupting Wang Ming's speech, he also stood up, slapped the table hard, and roared angrily: "I suggest that the central government conduct an isolation review of Wang Ming!" At the same time, we must launch a campaign to expose and criticize Stalin's revisionism, and we must thoroughly purge the Stalinist revisionists in the party! ”

"I agree!" Zhou Elai raised his right hand high.

"I agree!" Mao ZD raised his left hand in agreement.

"I agree." "Agreed." "Agreed." …… The leaders of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of China and G raised their hands in agreement.

The members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee in the audience voted in favor one after another. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Wang Ming pounced, sat on the chair, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and his mouth just said repeatedly: "This is impossible!" That's impossible! It must be a nightmare, a nightmare......"

……

"Boom ......"

After a loud bang, a sturdy building left over from the Tsarist era collapsed. There are still dozens of heroic Red Army fighters buried under the ruins! Formerly the office building of the Moscow Municipal Committee, it was transformed into a fortified fortress after the Battle of Moscow began, holding back the attacking Chinese 18th Army for 24 hours until a captured Soviet B-4 203mm howitzer slowly climbed to the front. This cannon has a gun carriage that looks like a tracked tractor, so it has a certain self-driving ability, which is a bit of a frustration in the field, but it shines in urban street fighting.

Because at present, no sturdy building encountered by the Chinese and German troops can resist the close bombardment of this 203mm caliber cannon! Therefore, when the street fighting was blocked, Fang Tian, chief of staff of the 18th Army, suggested that a few B-4s assigned by the army's artillery regiment be sent to the front line to be responsible for the heavy task of forced demolition!

Glancing at the building that had been reduced to ruins, Hao Baixiong knocked on a German No. 2 tank covered with bullet marks, and shouted at the Wehrmacht officers and soldiers crawling around: "Keep going!" Target the Moscow River. Then the wounded German tanks rumbled forward again, and more than 300 Wehrmacht soldiers, covered in the smell of gunpowder, also dispersed into battle formation, cats followed the tanks and continued to advance in the direction of Red Square.

By this time, the fighting in Moscow was already heating up, and perhaps Budyonny had placed his most loyal and combat-ready troops in the Kremlin's annex. So the closer you get to this former core of the Soviet Union, the more stubborn the resistance of the Soviet army becomes. Almost every burning building, every building that has fallen into ruins, has to go through repeated battles before the blue sky and white sun flag or the Nazi swastika flag can be planted on it! In the first four days of the Battle of Moscow, the losses of the 18th Army of the Chinese Wehrmacht were less than 2,500 people, but on the fifth day alone, 1,500 people were killed, seriously wounded or missing! The situation was similar for the Chinese 17th Army and the 5th Army, which suffered losses of 1,300 and 1,400 men respectively on the fifth day of the Battle of Moscow, and the total number of killed, seriously wounded, and missing in the first five days of the three armies was already as high as 10,000! And the fascist German team besieging the city lost more than 50,000 people after five days of fierce fighting!

Of course, such heavy casualties were not paid in vain, and the Chinese and German armies that invaded the city of Moscow were approaching the center of power in the Soviet Union - the Kremlin! And in the process of advancing towards the Kremlin, they also repelled dozens of counter-assaults organized by Budyonny. According to the battle report of the German Eastern Front Command, on July 16 alone, more than 15,000 Soviet troops (excluding Red Guards of various names) were killed by the Chinese and German armies, and as many as 23,264 were captured! And the entire front line has advanced another 3,000 meters. On July 17, the White Russian troops, having finished their recuperation, finally arrived in Moscow, and thanks to their accession, the situation on the battlefield became clearer. From this afternoon onwards, the reinforced fascist army (the Chinese, German, and Russian forces) once again launched a full-front onslaught. The two sides fought hard west of the Moscow River, almost in ruins in the city of Moscow, until the early morning of July 18, when the Soviet Red Army's defensive line collapsed again, and the defeated Soviet troops either fled to the east bank of the Moscow River in disarray, or surrendered to the fascist enemy......

……

On the night of July 18, a telegram from the commander of the Moscow side, Budyonny, requesting the abandonment of Moscow's eastward breakout, was delivered to Stalin's desk, who had just arrived secretly in Tbilisi. In the telegram, Budyonny told Stalin in an almost lamenting tone: "The Moscow Front has been fighting hard for 10 days and nights with an enemy several times stronger than mine!" By 6 p.m. on July 18, the Moscow Front had lost more than 300,000 men (captured, killed, seriously wounded, and fled!). And heavy weapons and equipment have been lost, and ammunition for small arms has been exhausted! At present, the front army has asked the troops to use bullets and grenades sparingly. The morale of the troops is also close to collapse, and in the past few days, a large number of desertions have been reported in various units, and even cases of fleeing from the entire system have already begun to appear! Therefore, the Party Committee of the Front Army believes that the defense of Moscow is no longer sustainable, and the whole army should choose to take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield after killing and wounding a large number of fascist bandits, so as to maintain its vitality and persist in the long-term struggle......"

At the same time as receiving the Budyonny report, the "little report" of Mehris, the king of small reports, was also sent to Stalin. The report also described to him the brutality of the battle for Moscow, the ferocity of the fascist bandits and the bravery of the Red Army soldiers, and, of course, the widespread demoralization of the troops, the collapse of the troops seemed imminent, and the fall of Moscow was inevitable. And this king of small reports also asked to abandon Moscow as soon as possible...... That might keep a little bit of power.

Since the content of the two reports was identical, Stalin did not dare to ignore them, and hurriedly instructed his assistant Boskorebeshev to invite Molotov, Voroshilov, Kalinin, Zhukov, Yagoda and others to his office for an emergency meeting.

"Comrades, Moscow will fall in a few days!" Stalin frowned, his face gloomy and tired, and an atmosphere of unease hung over the conference room. Although the few people who came to the meeting had known the result for a long time, on this day, everyone still felt like a slap in the face, and everyone lowered their heads and was speechless for a long time.

Stalin glanced at several people in the office, sighed, and continued: "It is expected that after the loss of Moscow, the main forces of the German and Chinese fascists will be withdrawn from Russian soil one after another, because they will soon invade Britain and France...... However, they will also leave some troops behind to cooperate with the White Russian army in attacking the revolutionary base areas in the Urals and Transcaucasia, and we must be prepared for the enemy's attack. Saying that, he turned his gaze to Zhukov: "Comrade Zhukov, how is the preparation of the Caucasian Front?" Is there confidence in defeating the enemy's attack? ”

Zhukov has now been promoted to commander of the Caucasian Front, and Voroshilov has returned to the Central Committee as his People's Commissar of Defense.

"The Caucasian Front is currently in good combat readiness, morale has rebounded, and it is ready for a war." Zhukov took a map and spread it out on the long table. "Now the entire Front Army has five army groups, they are the 1st Guards Army, the Guards Assault Army, the 2nd Guards Army, the Caucasian Mountain Army, and the Caucasian Army," he said. The ratio of each group army is 6 divisions, with a total strength of 30 divisions and 400,000 men. Among them, the Guards Assault Army has one tank division with more than 300 T-26 tanks, and the Caucasus Mountain Army has six mountain divisions adapted from the border guards of the Caucasus region, and its mountain warfare capability is also relatively strong. The 1st and 2nd Guards Armies were also expanded from units with rich combat experience as the backbone, and they were much more powerful than ordinary newly formed troops. ”

Stalin nodded slightly, his face looked a little better, and until today, he didn't have much confidence in defending Transcaucasia. He sighed and asked Zhukov: "Do you think we can fight a turnaround battle in the Caucasus Mountains?" ”

"No, I don't think so." Zhukov replied, appearing less confident, "because the enemy's forces are stronger and have more weapons." At least until Germany and the squadron leave the battlefield, the situation will be quite difficult. ”

"What then? Shall we abandon Transcaucasia again? And then what? Retreat abroad? Stalin was puzzled and asked with some sarcasm.

"No, of course that's impossible." Zhukov replied: "We must fight to the end, but the remaining months of 1938 will be very difficult, and the Red Army may have to face a fierce attack of hundreds of forces." In short, we should be prepared for the worst at the earliest! ”

"Worst-case scenario......" Stalin's face darkened. Of course he knew what that meant, "So what should we do?" ”

Zhukov went on to say: "The Caucasian Front should be ready to withdraw to Iran. ”

"Exile?!" Stalin asked coldly, looking at Zhukov with a hesitant gaze, thinking to himself that Transcaucasia was the last foothold of the party on Soviet territory, and if it was lost, the Bolshevik party would become a group of exiles. Will Western countries such as Britain, France, and the United States still support the resistance of the Soviet Union? Will the Soviet people forget the Bolsheviks and side with the enemy?

"It can't be considered exile." Zhukov thought for a moment and replied: "We can help the Iranian people to overthrow the reactionary Iranian Pahlavi dynasty and establish Soviet power there." ”

"Have you considered the attitude of Britain and France?" Stalin knew that the only way out was proposed, but the attitude of Britain and France was not clear, and it would be bad if they did not agree with the Soviet Union to do so, and to join the fascist side.

Zhukov had apparently thought about this for a long time, and he smiled confidently: "We can wait for the outbreak of war between Britain and France and Germany before waiting for the opportunity to retreat to Iran, so that Britain and France will have to acquiesce in our actions." ”

There was an oppressive silence in the room, everyone was silent, and Zhukov's suggestion was clearly the only viable option.

At this moment, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and Stalin's assistant Boskrebeshev appeared in front of everyone with a panicked expression.

"Comrade Stalin!" He handed Stalin a yellow copy of the newspaper. "This is news from Baotou, they, they ...... He looked at the great leader in horror ......and said in a deep voice: "They want to oppose Stalin's revisionist line!" And blame the difficulties faced by the USSR on the erroneous general line......"

"What !!" "This is a split!" "These Chinese themselves are revisionists!" "Comrade Stalin! Please give orders to denounce them......"

The conference room was immediately filled with shouting and beating, and the revolutionary leaders of the Soviet Union seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, as if they were eager to immediately send troops to fight against China.

Stalin calmed down at this time. This situation did not come as a surprise to him, because of the defeat of the Soviet Union, the balance of power between the Bolsheviks and the center had been reversed. It is not surprising that China G is not willing to live under the United G.

"Order Budyonny to abandon Moscow!" Stalin was spitting out almost word by word, and he said: "Send Bukharin to Baotou again, negotiate with the leaders of China and G, and tell them that the United States can share the leadership of the GC International with them, and that the world revolution needs the unity of the GCD people in the Soviet Union and China to be realized!" After saying these words, the dictator of GCISM seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden, sat limply in his chair, raised his hand with difficulty and waved: "Dismiss the meeting, I'm a little tired, I need to take a good rest." ”

On July 20, 1938, three days after Stalin gave the order to abandon Moscow, the city of Moscow was occupied by the forces of China, Germany and Russia, and the era of the Soviet Union finally came to an end! At the same time, China and G have officially become the leading force in the international communist movement......
