Rudnev pinned all his hopes on Liang Bozev, and if he could not seize the Krumlin as planned, if he could not deal a heavy blow to the Bolsheviks, then by the time Karekin's troops arrived, his position as mayor of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party would become very embarrassing.

The Mensheviks and the Cadets would have unanimously condemned him for acting badly and failing to shoulder the responsibility of defending the great capital; And those guys in the party who don't deal with him will also take the opportunity to jump out and accuse him.

Of course, all this has only one purpose, that is, to get him obediently rolled off the mayor's throne, and in Moscow, whether it is an enemy outside the party or a comrade in the party, there are not a few people who covet the throne of mayor Rudnev.

Now the only thing he can rely on is Liang Bozev, and if the colonel can make a clean and beautiful comeback, then all the accusations will be gone, and he will still be the mayor of Moscow and the hero of the suppression of the rebellion. Even if Karekin's troops arrived, he would be able to stand up to the other side and maintain the Socialist-Revolutionary's dominant position in Moscow.

However, this can be quite difficult. At first glance, it may sound like a lot of people in the city of Moscow, with only 40,000 troops under the leadership of the National Salvation Revolutionary Committee, but this is a drop in the bucket for a large city of 1.5 million people, especially when the vast majority of the city's population is seeking to overthrow the government.

At the beginning, Rudnev gave Liang Bozev 3,000 men, and according to the original estimates, these 3,000 people should easily take the Kremlin and the General Directorate of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones, and it is by no means the same as now. Suffered staggering losses. Almost two-thirds of the troops were lost.

Such a bad situation was never expected by Rudnev. In his original plan, these 3,000 men were to act as pawns for the suppression of the revolution, and they would sweep through Moscow and beat the Bolsheviks to the ground. Become his most powerful force to suppress the rebellion!

Now, all this is in vain, and Ryubozev will need more troops to complete the task. Although Rudnev did not know how much more Lu Dao was, according to his estimates, at least another 3,000 people would have to be given.

The question is. He did not have so many troops at his disposal, and after dispersing more than 40,000 men in the central part of Moscow, he had to control the main communication routes, guard the bridges, and fight the Bolsheviks. It's a bit stretched.

Rudnev didn't know where to squeeze out the extra manpower, because all the commanders at the front were asking him for people and complaining to him about the lack of weapons and ammunition.

"Mobilize another batch of women's death squads, and then transfer the troops stationed in the city hall to Liang Bozev, and then draw manpower from the street patrol team, we must gather enough 3,000 people!"

"But. Your Excellency the Mayor," Rudnev's secretary cautioned. "The town hall is under attack by the Bolsheviks, and it seems impossible to draw men from there!"

"Leave the town hall alone!" Rudnev said impatiently, "There is only symbolic meaning there, and it would be a pity to lose it...... Now, the most important thing is to capture the Kremlin! ”

The secretary added: "Your Excellency, but even if we can give up the town hall, even if we organize enough women's death squads, we still lack weapons!" Don't let them go into battle with their bare hands! ”

Rudnev rubbed his temples, he was extremely remorseful in his heart, at the beginning he asked Liang Bozev to recover the Kremlin, to recover the armory, so that they could continue to strengthen their army. This is this hesitant fool who simply can't listen to the real opinion, and misses the opportunity to do a great thing. directly led to the passivity at the moment, as long as he thought of this, he couldn't wait to tear Liang Bozev alive.

But he can't do this now, and he has to wipe the fool's ass, Rudnev was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, he slammed the table hard, and said angrily: "Let that idiot solve the weapon matter by himself!" More than 2,000 people died there, and there must have been no shortage of weapons! ”

The secretary was taken aback, and he realized how bad his boss was in a bad mood, and immediately closed his mouth very interestingly, anyway, he didn't need to let him go to the battlefield with his bare hands, why did he care so much? Let the stupid colonel solve this problem himself.

Can Liang Bozev solve this thorny problem? The answer, of course, is no, although he lost more than 2,000 lives, and according to common sense, he should have "emptied" a lot of weapons. But the problem is that these weapons are all left on the battlefield, except for a few weapons that are closer to him have been recovered, most of them are lying quietly on Red Square.

Liang Bozev was not without the brains of recycling weapons, but as soon as his men showed up, they would be warmly received by the Bolsheviks on the opposite wall. Basically, they all belong to meat buns, and there is no return to the dog. After a few attempts, Liang Bozev had to abandon this plan, because he really had no more subordinates to sacrifice.

So although he was very dissatisfied with Rudnev's arrangement, he could not say anything more, he could only cheer up the three thousand bare-handed "soldiers": "Gentlemen, after three consecutive attacks, our enemy has already suffered heavy losses!" As long as you charge forward, as long as you can climb the walls of the Kremlin, they, the despicable Bolshevik rebels, will collapse in an instant, they will collapse in an instant! The last victory will belong to us, and you, as the protagonists of this brilliant victory, will always be remembered by history! ”

Liang Bozev's staff officers didn't like the sneer jokes of their commanders very much, what more than 2,000 soldiers with loaded guns could not do, so that 3,000 women, hooligans and little children could do it almost with their bare hands?

Yes, the staff officers had no confidence in the reinforcements sent by Mr. Mayor, except for a small number of soldiers, most of whom were non-commissioned officers and students in the Moscow Military Academy, and these half-grown little boys had no combat experience except for full passion, and it was very likely that they would make them wet their pants en masse as soon as the cannon went off.

As for the women's death squads and civilian volunteers, it is not good to say that they are a group of rabble, worse than the non-commissioned officers and students in front, at least the non-commissioned officers still have the passion to fight. And they have nothing. The reason why it came together. It's all because the mayor pays them a lot of money. How much combat effectiveness this kind of five-mao party has, you can think of it with your ass.

"Sir, where are our weapons?"

When Liang Bozev's deception came to an end, someone finally asked this crucial question, and to be honest, the staff officers also wanted to know how their colonel would answer it.

Liang Bozev's face was very ugly, and it was obvious that the reason why he had just said so many demagogic words. It was nothing more than an attempt to distract the reinforcements and make them forget about the damn weapons issue, and now, his attempts have failed.

There was silence for a moment, and when Liang Bozev realized that it was completely impossible to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he stiffened his body and pointed to the corpses all over the Red Square, "Your weapons are on the Red Square!" You will take the steel spears from the unfortunate deaths of your predecessors and avenge them with the weapons they left behind! ”

There was an immediate commotion among the reinforcements, and many people began to retreat as soon as they heard the exciting news. No matter how sensational Liang Bozev is, they are not fools. No one can remain calm in such a dire situation. Especially those five Maoists, no, those women's death squads and civil volunteers, they immediately had the intention of turning around and running away.

"Silence!" The blue tendons on Liang Bozev's forehead flared up, and he pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the air in a row before stabilizing the situation, "Now, I declare to you battlefield discipline!" Only forward, not backward! Anyone who tries to escape will be shot on the spot! ”

Under the watchful eye of the gendarmes' bayonets and machine guns, reinforcements were brought to the battlefield, and when the flares of the general attack rose into the sky, they would step into hell like naked lambs.

"The enemy is ready to attack again!"

Rokossovsky looked worriedly at the enemy who was forming a group, and the dense number made his scalp tingle. Originally, he thought that the first three attacks had already hurt the enemy, causing them enough casualties that they would not be able to launch a new offensive for a while. But the enemy was more numerous and stubborn than he thought, and they did not care about sacrifice at all, as if they were ready to irrigate a path to victory with blood.

And his troops also suffered certain losses in the battle just now, mainly due to the damage caused by the enemy's artillery, and then there was an urgent need to replenish ammunition, although a large number of automatic weapons can cause great damage to the enemy, but at the same time, they are also monsters that devour ammunition, and in less than an hour of fighting, they have consumed a full two bases of ammunition.

Of course, there is enough ammunition in the armory, not to mention two bases of ammunition, it doesn't matter if it is doubled again. The main problem that Rokossovsky had to face was that it took time and even more manpower to transport ammunition from the armory to the city walls, both of which he was clearly lacking.

"The enemy is about to attack, draw troops, and step up the rush to transport ammunition!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the White Army on the other side suddenly let out a tsunami-like "Ula", and then they were like a flood that broke the embankment, setting off high waves, and surging over like mountains and seas.

"Damn it!" Rokossovsky shouted, "All of them, ready to fight, listen to my orders, aim carefully!" Try to save as much ammo as possible! ”

Rokossovsky could only pray for a little help from his comrades who were transporting the ammunition, otherwise it was likely that they would have to engage in a hand-to-hand battle with the hordes of enemies. He doesn't like white-knuckle combat at all! Because that means huge casualties, and such casualties are what he and Li Xiaofeng never want to see.

The White Army rushed towards Rokossovsky's position like a tidal wave, densely packed with countless men, and the only thing that made Rokossovsky happy was that not only were these people in a mess without any organization or formation, but most of them were unarmed.

However, even a large group of bare-handed people can be dangerous when they rush to your side and surround you. What's more, they are not completely unarmed, and the small group of people who have weapons are constantly firing "bang" with pistols, rifles and even shotguns.

As they drew closer, Rokossovsky finally gave the order, and his men began to fire heavily.

It was only at this time that the distinction between highly trained professional soldiers and untrained armed civilians really became apparent. Despite the absolute superiority in numbers, the Whites inflicted only negligible casualties on Rokossovsky's troops, and more because of luck than their marksmanship.

However, Rokossovsky's boys knocked out dozens of whites in the first round of shooting. They also shoot fast. Before the Whites were halfway there, each fired at least three shots – machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and submachine guns simply did not stop. Always shoot at a rate of two shots.

The White Army was constantly falling. The rest of the men staggered forward, their impact greatly delayed by the corpses, craters, and confusion that occurred while picking up guns on Red Square. There are even times when they drag themselves back.

However, this did not improve Rokossovsky's situation much, no matter how slow and chaotic the enemy's movement was, it could not change the reality that his troops were running out of ammunition! Automatic weapons without bullets will not be able to stop even unarmed enemies.

"guy!" Rokossovsky reluctantly gave this order.

Rokossovsky casually picked up an SKS and stabbed the three-edged gun straight under the barrel. staring at the white army that was constantly approaching under the city wall, as long as the other party was ready to come up, then he would prick the other party at the first time!

On the other side of the battlefield, Liang Bozev secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know what the reason was, so that the enemy did not give full play to the advantage of firepower this time, so that his troops could approach the city wall relatively smoothly. Compared with the huge casualties in the previous three attacks, the casualties of this assault were pitiful, and only a quarter of the soldiers were sacrificed.

Rokossovsky was very satisfied with this good news, in his opinion. This is the precursor to the imminent collapse of the enemy," gentlemen. We're about to win! He repeated his mantra again.

This time no more staff officers felt that their commander was delirious, and the soldiers who rushed under the walls were almost three times as many as the enemy, and as long as there were no surprises, they really had a good chance of victory.

As a highly qualified and talented commander, Rokossovsky had realized that danger or danger was coming, that there were too many enemies, and that as they continued to rush up, it was very likely that they would not be able to hold the walls, and if the walls fell, it would mean the complete collapse of the entire Kremlin defenses. When the time comes, they will be crushed by the enemy like sheep!

Rokossovsky didn't like this ending, so he had to hold the walls, and if he repelled the enemy again, they would probably not have the strength to harass the Kremlin again!

"Comrades, you must hold on! Behind us is the Kremlin, and we have no way back! ”

When the first enemy peeked out of the city walls, Rokossovsky did not hesitate to raise his rifle and plunge it into his eye...... Screaming violently, splashing blood, and by the time he pulled his spear back, the poor creature had fallen headlong down the wall, and in an instant it was drowned in a dense stream of people.

Rokossovsky didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, the second enemy was already following right after, and after killing him, there were third, fourth, and even fifth, sixth enemies.

Rokossovsky was doing the assassination mechanically, he didn't have time to think about anything else, he didn't even have time to look around. He is like a sophisticated machine, strict, meticulous, and calm in his killing movements.

On the battlefield, people are constantly dying, and new people are coming up, although his own troops have not yet captured the city, but Liang Bozev feels that it is only a matter of time. As the Bolshevik rebels dwindled in number, as their physical strength gradually decreased, as courage slipped out of their chests little by little, they would collapse sooner or later! Ryan Bozev was so confident in this that he even thought that in the next minute the Bolsheviks would collapse.

"Tell the attacking troops that after the capture of the city walls, not a single section will stop, and immediately advance to the depth of the Kremlin!" Liang Bozev made a battle deployment with great satisfaction, "Also, don't have any mercy for the enemy, whether it is stubborn to the end, or disarmed and surrendered, all of them will be killed!" ”

At this, he whistled lightly, and the playful melody of the saber seemed to indicate that the colonel was in a very good mood.

A herald hurriedly ran over: "Colonel, Mr. Mayor has sent someone to ask you when you will be able to recapture the Kremlin!" ”

"When?" Liang Bozev snorted contemptuously, "You tell him that immediately, immediately, the Kremlin will be returned to us, and if he wants, he can come here to watch the moment of the Kremlin's recovery!" ”

In a sense, Ryan Bozev is not at all right that if there are no accidents, the fall of the Kremlin is indeed only a matter of time. But what our protagonist Li Xiaofeng is best at is creating all kinds of accidents.

When the white army under the city wall set up a human ladder and continued to attack the city wall, when the Rokossovsky on the city wall became more and more tired and their morale became lower and lower. Li Xiaofeng appeared in front of them like a god, and then in the next second, Liang Bozev, who had already declared victory in advance, suffered a blow to the head!

"No need to aim, there are people below, just fire!" Li Xiaofeng instructed a few special branch soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs.

Soon, several fierce flames erupted towards the white army under the city wall, and the poor insects that were densely packed together were immediately set on fire, followed by several fierce flames, and then more white troops were hung in flames.

Seconds later, there was a sea of fire beneath the walls, and the smell of gasoline and burnt human flesh mingled with all sorts of terrible howls, turning the Kremlin's walls into a fiery hell...... (To be continued......)
