The Kremlin, August 18, 1943.

Marshal of the Soviet Union Zhukov has returned to the Kremlin, and with him is Vasilevsky. Like Zhukov, no matter how hard Vasilevsky tried, he could not change the course of the war.

Now, the Germans and their allies were too strong for the Soviets, even to the point that they could not be defeated at all.

The only thing Zhukov and Vasilevsky could do was to stall for as much time as they could.

Little by little, the enemy's footsteps are approaching the Kremlin.

"The situation is very dangerous, Comrade Stalin." Zhukov had to tell Stalin the whole truth: "The enemy currently has absolute superiority on the battlefield, a large number of Soviet soldiers are suffering, but we cannot find a better solution, and perhaps the enemy will soon appear outside the Kremlin." ”

Stalin's brow was tightly knit......

It was a completely different situation from the first Battle of Moscow. Although the hardships of the battle for Moscow had been anticipated, it was surprising that the situation had developed so badly.

Stalin could hear the heroic stories of Soviet soldiers on the front line almost every day, but this did nothing to change the course of the battlefield.

Now, even if Stalin wanted to leave Moscow, it was impossible......

There were Germans everywhere, in the sky, on the ground...... These damned Germans controlled everything on the battlefield and left only the bitterness of defeat to the USSR......

What else can I say? Everyone tried to do everything they could. But it still can't change the ...... of failure

"How much more power do we have to defend this place?" Stalin asked slowly.

"12 infantry divisions, one armored division and one artillery division." Zhukov immediately replied: "At the same time, I have already given orders to those troops that have suffered defeat. Move as far as you can in the direction of the Kremlin and join in the battle to defend it. In addition, Comrade Vasilevsky mobilized 21 partisan brigades, two workers' divisions and two women's divisions, as well as 5 children's regiments......"

Stalin sighed under his breath.

Once upon a time, the Soviet Union had a huge army, but now it is used to defend itself. But there was only such a pitiful amount of strength left.

None of these forces could hold back the Germans, and Stalin had no hope of relying on them alone......

Maybe. The time has come to end one's fate.

But Stalin did not show this in front of his subordinates: "Very well, Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Vasilevsky, you are doing very well. For your efforts. I pay my respects. Now that the core of our party and government apparatus is here, I believe that we will be able to defend the Kremlin and defend Moscow. To tell our comrades that a large number of reinforcements are approaching Moscow, and soon we will have a huge amount of support......"

Zhukov and Vasilevsky smiled bitterly at the same time, when is this time to make these completely unfulfilled promises to their troops......

There are no more reinforcements. Not a single one left. Just a few days ago, the Guderian group of the German army launched a large-scale assault on the Soviet troops on the outer front. And completely routed the reinforcements on the outer line.

Now Moscow has become a hopeless dead city......

"Go and do your own thing." Stalin's face was a little gloomy: "I don't have to worry here, I know what I should do when war comes." ”

Zhukov and Vasilevsky did not say anything more and quietly left the place.

Stalin was silent for a long time before his eyes fell on Beria beside him: "Has the hijacking of the golden train been found out?" ”

"No, Comrade Stalin." Beria looked a little helpless: "We don't know how the information was leaked, and what's even more terrifying is that we didn't find a single survivor at the scene...... I went to the scene myself, and from the scene, I saw that the hijackers used planes and tanks as attack power, which was incredible...... The enemy, it is impossible to appear in that place so quickly, it should be absolutely safe there......"

"Maybe there are some enemies we don't know about." Stalin smiled bitterly: "Forget it, even if the gold can be shipped out safely, it will not solve our current embarrassing situation." Comrade Beria, the enemy is about to attack here, and there will certainly be many ill-willed people within us, and I need you to keep a close eye on all of them, and I will allow you to do whatever you want. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin."

Beria said silently. He also knew that defeat was coming soon, and that Stalin might go on a killing spree.

Since we're going to die, let's let everyone die together......

．．．．．．

In the "Judgment Day Plan", the German troops on all lines involved in the attack made exceptionally good progress.

The defense of the Soviet army was not without fierceness, and the battle was not without tragedy, but the German troops completed their task very beautifully.

During the 20-day combat operation, the Germans annihilated and captured 330,000 Soviet troops, dealing a heavy blow to the vitality of the Soviet army.

The goddess of victory, right ahead, beckoned to these brave and fearless German soldiers.

On August 28, the "Inquisitor's Plan" entered the second stage:

Advance to the Kremlin!

- End the fighting in Moscow!

Along the way, a large number of Russians armed civilians appeared, and these people launched suicidal attacks in an attempt to hold back the unstoppable German army.

Although it is suicidal, it should be very effective.

The constant appearance of snipers and the constant appearance of civilians with grenades strapped to their bodies caused a lot of trouble for the German army.

However, this only temporarily slowed down the pace of the German army......

Wang Weiyi has always followed his troops. He must witness this great moment in history with his own eyes.

And when the troops were about to reach the rear defensive positions of the Soviet army, he met with Sidney. Reilly and his death squads.

This legendary spy was active in the First and Second World Wars. He accomplished tasks that many would not have dared to think of at all.

His story will inevitably be passed down forever along with the story of the Skull Baron......

He brought Baron Skeleton the most detailed information, the detailed disposition of the Soviet army, and the list of all the generals.

So far, his mission has been honorably accomplished......

"You can leave...... Wang Weiyi smiled, "Thank you for your efforts for Germany......

"Where's my money?" Reilly asked such a question at once.

Wang Weiyi laughed, what a cute hired spy: "Don't worry, Mr. Sidney." Your money is waiting for you in the bank, and I've given you a large sum of money as a reward for your loyalty. ”

"I don't have any loyalty to speak of. Money can buy my loyalty. Reilly said expressionlessly: "I believe that if the Russians can beat you at a price that they offer me, then I will not hesitate to betray you." ”

Wang Weiyi smiled even louder: "Yes, I believe it." But here's the problem. No one can bid more than me. ”

"So, that's what I like working with you......" Reilly finally got some smile on his face.

"Where are you going, America?" Wang Weiyi suddenly asked.

Reilly shook his head: "No, I don't think I'm going back to the United States, or I'm going to Switzerland, I love the climate there, I love everything there...... What about you? Baron, where will you go when the war is over? ”

"Leave ......," Wang Weiyi replied very simply: "Sidney." This is probably the last time we've ever seen each other. ”

Reilly's eyes showed a rare reluctance: "Baron, let's be honest." Actually, I can't bear you, you are the only one of all the people I have worked with who can't make a move...... Ah, of course I have to admit that I can't kill you......"

Wang Weiyi was not displeased at all. He knew that people who had worked with Reilly would often be killed by him, and he had to keep his identity strictly secret.

This is the most common thing for a hired spy.

However, Reilly also showed his feelings rarely......

"Reilly, take care." Wang Weiyi said lightly.

"Take care, Baron." As Reilly prepared to leave, he said the last words: "You will be an immortal legend, I am convinced." ”

I'm sure you're going to be an immortal legend!

Reilly said these words very seriously, in fact, everyone believed that the Skeleton Baron would become an immortal legend......

．．．．．．

On 2 September, the Skeleton Division, the vanguard of the German army, broke through the layers of Russian obstacles and appeared in front of the Soviet army's most rearmost defensive positions.

The Kremlin is already in sight.

On the same day, the Luftwaffe launched a high-density bombardment attack on the Kremlin.

Moscow's most striking palace was completely exposed to German fire.

On the 3rd and 4th, a large number of German troops and their allies arrived, and the last battle of the Battle of Moscow was about to break out.

"Victory is already in front of us......" After gathering all his subordinates, Wang Weiyi told them:

"Since the outbreak of the German-Soviet war, we have experienced victories and defeats. We once broke into Moscow, but we were driven out again. In Demyansk, we faced despair, but we survived, and the war took a huge turn from that time on. My generals, I know that each and every one of you is looking forward to seeing the day when the war ends, and now you are about to fulfill your wish. I thank you, each and every one of you, for allowing me to command this battle and to witness the glorious moment for myself......"

He was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I don't doubt that the Kremlin will be able to be stormed. I also do not doubt that Stalin will escape from us, the only thing I am thinking about is what form the soldiers will have in revelry after the end of the war. The glory of Germany. It will be the most embodied in that one. Now, I command you, go forward, great Germany! ”

After speaking, he raised his hand straight: "Everything - for Germany!" ”

Everything - for Germany!

"Everything - for Ernst!"

On September 5, 1943, Moscow's worst war broke out!

In the "All for Germany! All for Ernst! "In the midst of the frenzied cries, the heroic German soldiers. A frenzied charge was launched towards the Kremlin.

Countless Germans have waited for this moment for too long, and they even thought they couldn't do it at one point.

But the magical Skull Baron brought them this magical scene!

The horn of victory is sounding here!

The sound of artillery proclaimed the firm determination of the German soldiers. The sound of gunfire is a declaration to end the war!

Here, in Moscow, the blood of countless German soldiers was once shed, who once despaired of whether they would be able to take the city at one time.

But now. Only hope is given to them!

Countless people are fighting for this day when their dreams come true. Countless people have fought for the greatest glory.

Similarly, the Russians were fighting to protect their worst "temple".

They shed blood, they sacrificed, they burned their lives on the battlefield.

The best generals of the two armies are here:

Ernst is here, Manstein is here, Richthofen is here...... Zhukov is here, Vasilevsky is here...... All the people are here......

The countless years of grievances between Germany and the Soviet Union will be completely resolved at this moment.

In fact. The current battle is no longer a matter of victory or defeat for the senior commanders of both sides. Because the outcome is already predestined.

Now they are more concerned about what kind of way they will end the war.

"I want to see the Skeleton Baron, I really want to see ......" Zhukov suddenly said: "I have known about the existence of the Skeleton Baron since the First World War, and I have fought against him on the battlefield, but unfortunately I have never met this person in person. I sometimes even think that if there was no war, maybe he and I would have become friends......"

"I once met the Skull Baron, and we were both very young at that time...... "Vasilevsky smiled, "but at that time, I definitely did not expect that this man would become our worst enemy. If I had been able to predict the future, I would have been desperate to kill him at the time. But to be honest, even when we are about to lose at the moment, I don't hate him, on the contrary, I still admire him very much...... Like you, I'm so eager to see this man......"

The two men looked at each other and smiled, even if defeat was imminent, they were not afraid.

Heroes on the battlefield always sympathize with each other.

"Comrade Marshal Zhukov, Comrade Marshal Vasilevsky, there is bad news that Temitav and his 5th Guards Division have defected and launched an attack on the 2nd Guards Army, a huge opening has been opened, and the Germans are rushing in."

The sudden crisis, however, moved Zhukov tomorrow, as if it had already been in his calculations: "Temitav was originally a loyal subordinate of Marshal Timoshenko, but I really can't understand why Comrade Stalin trusted him so much? ”

"I don't know, probably because he was very active when he exposed Marshal Timoshenko." Vasilevsky also did not seem to be afraid: "In the purge after purge, we have lost many good comrades, but it is a strange thing that the people who should be purged the most have been reused. I'm wondering, what is the current Marshal Timoshenko doing? ”

Zhukov looked at the battlefield in front of him, and then calmly said: "He is relieved, he will enter the Kremlin as a victor and an avenger." ”

Yes, he will return here as a victor and an avenger......

．．．．．．

"Your Excellency, Demitave and his troops have launched an attack on the 2nd Guards Corps as we agreed." It was at this time that Marshal Timoshenko said.

"Thank you for your efforts." Wang Weiyi smiled and expressed his gratitude: "This will make our war go more smoothly." Ah, Mr. Marshal, when you return to the Kremlin, what will you do to your former friends? ”

"I don't have any friends there." Timoshenko said lightly: "However, I don't want revenge either, although I have suffered a lot before this. I mean wanting to build a new Russia, a completely new Russia, a Russia that belongs entirely to the Russian people. ”

Wang Weiyi smiled and said nothing. However, Temoshenko's idea was no longer possible.

A brand new, completely belonging to the Russian people? No, this is not the same as the German assumption.

The German army did not come to liberate Russia, by no means. In the future, Russia will inevitably build its country in accordance with the German idea.

No one can change all that.

Timoshenko and those who followed him were just pawns.

Wang Weiyi believed that all he had to do was to lead the German army to victory, and he believed that the German government would handle the rest of the matter better than himself. But where would I be at that time?

Thinking of this, he looked up at the battlefield:

On this day, the German army came!

On this day, the battle of the last has begun! (To be continued......)
