The huge roar of the diesel engines of the Cheetah tank destroyer and the Black Panther tank shook the earth, and more than a hundred tanks once again formed an assault formation, and puffs of smoke covered the entire starting position. The Soviet prisoners of war in the brigade walked past these Chinese tanks and tank destroyers like walking corpses, and in addition to pain, there was a faint look of relief in everyone's eyes.

Beginning on 6 August, the Chinese and German armies of several million began to launch wave after wave of offensives from the eastern, southern, and western directions of Moscow, and on 8 August and 10 August, they dropped two more nuclear bombs on the center of Moscow. And using the electromagnetic pulse wave released by the explosion of the nuclear bomb to destroy the Soviet army's communication system, launched two large-scale fierce attacks, and after several days of fierce fighting, finally advanced the battle line to the edge of the city of Moscow.

Three successive nuclear explosions, coupled with the rapid offensive of the Chinese and German armies, inflicted great losses on the defenders of Moscow. In particular, the three major offensives launched by the Chinese and German armies took advantage of the failure of the Soviet army's communication system and the failure of command, all of which achieved miraculous results. The Soviet armored clusters were largely wiped out in the battles of August 6, 7 and 8, and their more than 3,000 tanks were all blackened and twisted metal, scattered across the plains east of Moscow, around which Soviet corpses were piled up, and rows of dead Soviet officers and soldiers were found in almost every trench and every ring of fortifications, forming a terrifying and brutal war scene. The weapons and equipment captured were equally innumerable, and the Chinese and German officers and soldiers did not even bother to pack and ship them. Simply use the tracks of tanks to crush rifles and machine guns, and use explosives to blow up the barrels of intact Soviet cannons, captured Soviet ammunition. Tons and tons were poured into the Moscow River.

Beginning on August 9, the wave of surrender began to spread among the Soviet Red Army in positions on the outskirts of Moscow. First of all, the Soviet strongholds that were surrounded in the previous few days of fighting began to surrender to the Chinese and German ** teams that surrounded them one after another, and they often surrendered with a large number of Soviet civilians, most of whom were old people and children. The Germans erected yellow and black Romanov flags outside the temporary camps for these prisoners of war and civilians, and hung pictures of the two "Black Russian Queens" wearing crowns, as well as a cross symbolizing the Orthodox Church! All the elderly Russians who saw this qiē were silently weeping. There were also bearded middle-aged men in old Tsarist uniforms and MP18 submachine guns in their hands standing at the gates of the concentration camps, shouting at the Soviets to report the GCDs among them every time a group of Soviets were pressed over. If someone is whistleblown. These guys, who looked like the remnants of White Russia, would be tried live at the gates of the concentration camp and executed on the spot on charges of treason against the Russian GCD! The corpse was still hanging high above a wooden stake, in this summer weather. It didn't take long for it to start rotting and stinking. The end of the Soviet GCD in this era is much more tragic than in history!

But the fate of the Soviet GCDs, who surrendered to the squadron, was much better. The officers and men of the Chinese Wehrmacht have a good impression of the GCD, after all, their great commander Chang Ruiqing himself is also a member of the Chinese G Party - in fact, the German Wehrmacht does not have much hatred for the Soviet GCD now, and it is the White Russia that wants to kill them, and in these White Russia, the Bolsheviks not only usurped power, enslaved the people, and finally completely destroyed Russia, so they must all be killed! And the Germans happened to support two more Romanov archdukes as queens of Black Russia. So let these White Russians do whatever they want.

On the Chinese side, Stalin, the number one Maoist leftist in the Soviet Union, had already arrived in Nanjing. He received a cordial reception from Chang Ruiqing, and also formed an organization called the "Russian GCD Revolutionary Committee" in Nanjing, apparently preparing to go to the Assamese-Naga region to lead a "yellow Russia" (in fact, the country did become "yellow" after many years, and the people there were mostly white Russians and descendants of the indigenous people of the Assam region). But Chang Ruiqing can't let Stalin be the commander of the light pole, right? He always had to recruit some Russian GCD party members to fill up the façade, so the GCD people who were locked up in the temporary prisoner of war camps of the Chinese army were treated very well, and by the way, they also got a Russian GCD application form for joining the party.

By August 15, the Soviet forces on the eastern, southern, and western periphery of Moscow had been swept away by the Chinese and German armies. The number of dead in the battle ranged from 300,000 to 400,000, including more than 20 Soviet generals, including General Baranov (killed on August 9), General Konev, and General Vasilevsky (killed on August 8)! More than 1.2 million captives were captured! The main reason for this was that the prisoners included a large number of civilians and Red Guards, including four or five hundred thousand regular Red Army officers and soldiers. To the east of Moscow, there was even a surrender in formation, and several generals of the Soviet Red Army laid down their arms with whole divisions of troops! Of course, those Soviet generals also soon joined the "Russian GCD Revolutionary Committee" and became close assistants to Comrade Stalin in the future.

The commander of the Second Panzer Army, Senior General Liao Lei, was standing on the top of a tracked armored command vehicle in high spirits at the moment, looking at the tank cluster in front of him, and gave a loud order: "Forward, target, Kremlin!" ”

……

"Comrade Chairman, Comrade Skryansky sent a telegram from the Taimel Peninsula stating that at present there are about 600,000 Red Army troops under the direct leadership of the GC International Executive Committee, and about 500,000 cadres and families of the Red Army, as well as civilians, who are also living in the controlled districts of GC International. But food, weapons, ammunition, and all other supplies were scarce, and although hunting and fishing had been organized, it was not enough for so many people to survive this winter......" Pavlov tried to keep his composure in front of Trotsky as chief of the General Staff of the Red Army, although his mind was already in turmoil.

Trotsky tapped lightly on his desk, his face full of indifference. It seems that the White Sea shipping routes were blocked, and the Red Army in Siberia did not have enough supplies for the winter. It wasn't until Pavlov had finished talking about the bad news intermittently that he nodded and said, "Got it...... Compared with the road we are going to take, the cold winter in Siberia is only a small test, and I am confident that our comrades will be able to overcome this difficulty and gain a firm foothold in northern Siberia. Comrade Pavlov, what is the situation in the Northern Front now? Is it possible to move eastward and build another base in the northern part of the Ural Mountains and in the tundra near the Arctic Ocean? ”

"It's possible, although Leningrad is already surrounded by the Germans, but we still have four elite army groups and a large supply group in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk, which can allow them to move eastward. In addition, to the north of Moscow there is our army, with a total strength of no less than 500,000 troops, and the supply is relatively sufficient. Pavlov paused, then looked at Trotsky with burning eyes: "Comrade Chairman, the troops in the north need your leadership, so why don't you leave Moscow tonight and go to Scott Rome, where there is an army headquarters and an infantry division, all of which are the most reliable troops......"

"I'm not leaving!" Trotsky waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "My cause has failed!" This responsibility must be taken up, and there is no other way. Only if I stay in Moscow and take responsibility for the defeat, will you have the opportunity to look for a comeback! He picked up a signed order from his desk and handed it to Pavlov: "Comrade Pavlov, this is an order appointing you to the post of commander of the Northern Front, and you should immediately leave for Scott Rome." ”

Receiving this mandate, which was as precious as life, Pavlov sighed in his heart. Carefully collecting the order, he asked Trotsky again: "Comrade Chairman, to whom should my post of Chief of the General Staff be transferred?" ”

"Let Comrade Skryansky think about this question." Trotsky smiled bitterly and said: "A Moscow city does not need a chief of the General Staff of the Red Army...... By the way, Comrade Vatsettis will also leave Moscow with you, and he will be appointed military and political commissar of the Northern Front, and in the future it will be up to you to deal with the Germans west of the Ural Mountains. ”

This remark seemed to be to arrange the aftermath, and Pavlov, who was "the rest of his life after the catastrophe", couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard it. "Comrade Chairman, you better think again, without you...... What can we do? How will the Soviet people live? ”

Trotsky smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The people of the Soviet Union would not have survived without me, and since I am gone, they will definitely live better than they are now." ”

With tears in his eyes, Pavlov shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but Trotsky waved his hand to stop him: "Comrade Pavlov, I know your intentions, that's it, hurry up and prepare to leave Moscow." By the way, go and call Yakil, Frunze and Egorov and ask them to come to me for a meeting. ”

Pavlov shook his head: "Comrade Chairman, telephone contact between Moscow and the Moscow Front has not yet been fully restored, so I will personally go to their headquarters and pick them up." ”

Trotsky sighed, waved his hand, and said: "No, no more trouble, just send me a message to them, and tell them that if the enemy attacks within 3 kilometers of the Kremlin bunker, they must immediately inform me." (To be continued......)
