The sudden explosion reduced the top floor of the Koshinskaya Palace to ruins, billowing black smoke into the sky, and the violent explosion could be seen in most of Petrograd, directly destroying the Central Communications Section on the top floor and affecting several offices around it.

By the time Dzerzhinsky arrived with Tekko's guards, the scene was in shambles, with a strong smell of gunsmoke everywhere, and faint cries for help could be heard from under the rubble. The three offices of the Central Communications Section were left with only rubble, and the floor slabs had all been blown up, and the entire floor had been smashed on the office on the lower floor, and as for the staff of the Communications Section, if nothing else, they had all been sacrificed!

Five minutes later, Lenin and Dzerzhinsky stood on the sidelines, cross-legging, looking at the ruins that there were no survivors left, and as for whether there were people buried under the rubble, it was not for the two of them to know.

"How big is the loss?" Lenin asked gloomily.

Dzerzhinsky's face was not much stronger, and the man in the iron mask replied with a tiger face: "The Central Communications Section has not survived, and the personnel of the Archives Section downstairs have suffered little losses, but the important archives and documents have almost been destroyed, and the Voice of Russia radio station next door to the Communications Section has suffered heavy losses, all the equipment has been destroyed, three comrades died on the spot, four people were seriously injured, and Comrade Koluntai was also slightly injured......

"Does the murderer have a clue?"

Dzerzhinsky smiled bitterly, "It is preliminarily estimated that the murderer should be a traitor from the Central Communications Section, probably because he received the news and detonated the explosives...... However, since the scene was almost completely destroyed, the Central Communications Section could not find a single intact body. It is difficult to determine who the murderer was, and it is not ruled out that the murderer may have used a time bomb......"

As soon as Lenin heard this, he understood that Dzerzhinsky was saying that there was no clue at all, and that the murderers would either be killed together without proof. Either they have already fled, and there is no way to find out. This conclusion made Lenin very aggrieved, he had a belly of anger that he wanted to vent, but he couldn't find a goal, so he couldn't be angry with Dzerzhinsky, right?

Don't say it, this responsibility and board have to be slapped on Dzerzhinsky's ass, the main task of the Central Special Branch is to protect the security of the Central Committee, and now the office building of the Party Central Committee has been bombed. As the main leader of Tekko, the Iron Mask Man has a responsibility, right? Moreover, Dzerzhinsky is also the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, what does the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection do? It is their main duty to supervise party members and cadres, and now traitors have brought bombs into the party Central Committee. It's not an exaggeration to say that you don't work well, right?

If Lenin wants to call this true, then there are really too many tricks to grasp, and there are too many excuses to find, and he directly masturbates Dzerzhinsky, and outsiders dare not say anything, who let this black cauldron be detained on your head in the iron mask?

Fortunately, Lenin was not the kind of leader who shirked responsibility and angered others in the heat of anger. As a politician, the more critical the moment, the more accurate judgment he must be, and he will not do stupid things that are messy and armless.

He spoke to Dzerzhinsky in a heavy voice: "Comrade Felix, the situation is already very obvious. It was a well-planned, organized and premeditated surprise attack by the enemy specifically against our party! ”

Dzerzhinsky nodded. He very much agreed with Lenin, first by tampering with the message. Immediately after that, the communication equipment was destroyed, and the links were seamlessly linked, and it was completely impossible to say that this was an accident. He was even more convinced that this was a subtle conspiracy, and even that this conspiracy had just begun!

"Comrade Lenin, I think that the enemy's conspiracy is definitely more than that, and now that we have completely broken off contact with the forces that are preparing to respond to the armed uprising, we must immediately inform them of the real decision of the Party Central Committee, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Lenin also thought of this, and even more so he thought: "I'm afraid it won't be so easy, since the enemy wants to cut off our external ties, he will definitely take precautions......"...,

Before Lenin's words were finished, Krupskaya hurried over and said anxiously: "Oh no! Our SCR-300 stations were also sabotaged by the enemy! ”

Lenin and Dzerzhinsky glanced at each other, and sure enough, the enemy was very thoughtful, not only destroying the radio station of the Central Communications Section, but also the SCR-300, without thinking about it, the Party Central Committee definitely still lurked enemy agents, I am afraid that they took advantage of the chaos after the explosion to sabotage the SCR-300.

"Is the phone also not working?" Lenin asked.

Krupskaya nodded: "The call is not reflected at all!" I'm afraid the line is broken! ”

Lenin took a deep breath and resolutely instructed Dzerzhinsky: "Comrade Felix, please gather all your comrades in Turkko at once, fully armed, and send the news to the command of the armed uprising in Petrograd, so that Comrade Petro Wovsky can immediately cancel all actions, and the enemy's conspiracy must not succeed!" ”

Dzerzhinsky immediately turned away without saying a word, and he could think of what Lenin could think of, since the enemy had destroyed all the means of communication, there was no reason to let them take the news out of the city, I am afraid that just before the explosion, the enemy had already arranged a blockade, and at this time only the armed Tekko could fight his way out of the encirclement.

Lenin's guess was correct, and as soon as Dzerzhinsky had left on the front foot, the rear guard informed him that a brigade of policemen, gendarmes and Cossacks had rushed in, and they had blocked all exits and forbade anyone to enter or leave the Ksheshinskaya Palace.

Krupskaya asked worriedly, "Valodya, they won't be here to capture you, will they?" ”

Lenin was very calm, and sneered: "They don't have the courage to do so, they are here to hold us back and prevent us from passing on the news to the outside, if Comrade Felix can complete the task, we don't need to worry about anything at all, on the contrary, I'm afraid they will turn their faces categorically tomorrow!" ”

The next moment, surrounded by a large number of gendarmes and Cossacks, the fat Director Alexander broke into Lenin's office arrogantly, glanced at Lenin behind the desk with pride, and said with a smile: "Vladimir. Citizen Ilyich, a farewell in 1905, I didn't expect that today we would meet again! ”

The dead fat man glanced at Krupskaya in confusion and smiled: "And you." Madame, it is a pleasure to see you again, and how similar it is today to that of twelve years ago! I hope that this time the gendarmes in the penal colony will do their duty, so that you don't have to abscond out of the country again! ”

Lenin didn't care at all about this dead fat man. Sitting in his seat, he asked coldly: "Director Alexander, who allowed you to break into my office?" This is the residence of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks, not your lawless private prison! ”

Alexander glanced at Lenin contemptuously, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the desk: "This is a search warrant, you had an explosion here just now, right?" We suspect that you Bolsheviks are engaged in dangerous activities, and the Government has authorized me to search your office with full power, and no one shall leave the place during this period. Otherwise, they will be regarded as dangerous elements who sabotage the revolution and can be killed directly! ”

Lenin glanced at the search warrant on the table, smiled coldly, and sneered: "When has the efficiency of our government become so efficient. The explosion only happened ten minutes ago, and you can apply for a search warrant in this little time, and you can gather so many people, Mr. Police Commissioner, I bother you to use your brains to engage in intrigues and tricks in the future. Don't take others for idiots! ”

"I'm not going to play tricks on you!" As soon as Alexander beckoned, several policemen surrounded Lenin, "Anyway, by this time tomorrow, you will be in Peter and Paul prison." At that time, you were made to cry! ”…,

"Then let's see who can laugh the most!" Lenin pushed away the policemen blocking him and strode out of his office.

Alexander the Fat Pig suddenly glanced at him. One pulled out the pistol at his waist and gestured, "Where are you going?" Didn't see the order on the search warrant? If you dare to walk around casually, I'll kill you! ”

"Kill me?" Lenin smiled contemptuously and sneered: "Lend you two guts!" The search warrant says that we are strictly forbidden to leave this building, as long as we are in this building, we can go wherever I want! ”

Alexander was dumbfounded, he snatched the search warrant on the table, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it really only said that he could not leave the Ksheshinskaya Palace, and as for the rest, there was not a word.

Chief Alexander yelled angrily: "Listen, all of you, keep a close watch on all entrances and exits!" As long as he dares to get out of this building, he will kill me directly! ”

Lenin didn't want to leave the Ksheshinskaya Palace, there was no point in doing so, and now that the whole house was surrounded by police and gendarmes, how could he get out alone, and what could he do if he broke out? All his hopes are now placed on Dzerzhinsky, as long as the man in the iron mask can break out of the encirclement and send the news out of the city, it is nothing for him to be wronged, otherwise, even if he can break out of the city today, it will be meaningless, and his personal safety is really nothing compared to the entire Russian Revolution.

In fact, at this point, Lenin was extremely worried about Dzerzhinsky's breakthrough, and the enemy was unprepared for it, and the road was probably full of difficulties and dangers......

Lenin's guess was indeed correct, Dzerzhinsky's breakthrough operation was not smooth at the beginning, the man in the iron mask had just come out of the back door of the Khsersinskaya Palace, and he had not walked a single street, but the police were going to drive Dzerzhinsky back, but how could the man in the iron mask agree, the safety of the Party Central Committee and the hope of the success or failure of the revolution were all on his shoulders, and he could only advance but not retreat.

The exchange of fire happened quickly, and in the first round, Tekko had the advantage and directly solved the police blocking the road, but just when they wanted to move on, the enemy who had been in ambush for a long time finally showed their fangs, and two Maxim machine guns blocked the street, and every step forward had to pay the price of blood, and as time went by, there would be more and more enemies who heard the news, and at that time Tekko would face the situation of being surrounded and suppressed!

At the critical moment, Teko exerted the fearless revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, and used his flesh and blood to forge a bloody road. Paid a heavy price to break the blockade of the streets, but the situation Dzerzhinsky faced did not change much, the bridges at various intersections were full of police and spies, and the amount of force at his hands was greatly reduced, and in the confrontation with Makqin just now, the consumption of ammunition was also very large, and the certainty of breaking through was not very large, especially the enemy's backup was chasing after him like a bloody hound, and if he was not careful, he would be wiped out.

"We have to split up!" Dzerzhinsky said with a grim face, "Georgi." You take five comrades to break through from the north, and the rest of the comrades follow me from the west, remember, don't break through when you encounter enemy posts. Our task is to convey the instructions of the Central Committee, to be flexible and flexible to bypass them, and to convey the instructions of the Party Central Committee to Comrade Pyotr Wovsky, who is responsible for directing the armed uprising, as soon as possible. ”

Dzerzhinsky chose to break through the siege in pieces, believing that only a part of the people could complete the task would be successful, but he underestimated the enemy's determination. As the news of their breakthrough through the blockade reached Chief Alexander, the fat man was furious, and immediately gathered all the police forces in Petrograd to reset the card, and vowed to wipe out Tekko! …,

Petrovsky followed Georgy to break through from the north. At that time, the six of them cautiously dodged the police patrolling the streets, hiding and hiding like playing hide and seek. Seriously, this game of hide and seek is not fun, and you have to be very careful with every step you make, so that the slightest mistake can alarm your enemies. At that time, we will face a heavy round-up.

Petrovsky cautiously ducked in the corner, cautiously poking his head out to carefully observe the movements of the first group of policemen on the opposite side of the Teji Bridge (this is really the name of the bridge).

"How many people?" Georgi asked behind him.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Five...... 10"

The further down Petrovsky he looked, the worse his mood became, there were ten people on the other side, and he would not be afraid of them if he had enough ammunition. But now, after a series of fierce battles, the comrades have little ammunition left. I really don't dare to waste it casually, even if I can force it through. But there is still a certain distance from their destination, can you guarantee that you will be able to break through next time?

Someone suggested, "Why don't we take a detour?" ”

Georgi shook his head: "It's impossible to take a detour!" The Foundry Bridge is the closest bridge to St. Peter's Hotel, where the headquarters of the armed uprising is located, and if we don't go from here, we have to spare two large circles, and those two roads have to cross the same bridge, and more than one bridge, can you guarantee that those bridges are not guarded by the enemy? ”

"What then? Break in? Petrovsky asked anxiously.

Georgi shook his head: "It's definitely not possible to break through, who can guarantee that there are no enemies on the other side of the bridge?" ”

Someone else suggested, "Why don't we swim across the river secretly?" ”

Georgi pointed to the sun in the sky: "If the sun hadn't been so bright tonight, I'd agree with you, but now, unless the enemy is blind, he will definitely be aware of it, and have you noticed it, there are water police on the river, and if we do swim across the river, then we will only be targets in the middle of the river!" ”

Petrovsky was annoyed: "Then what to do? You can't ignore our mission, right? The Party Central Committee has entrusted us with all its hopes! ”

"Of course you have to complete the mission!" Georgi said firmly, "But there must be a strategy, as Comrade Felix said, we can't break through!" Find a way! ”

"What's the solution? We don't have wings, so we can't fly over, can we? Petrovsky asked with a sad face.

Georgi smiled: "Of course it is impossible to fly over, but we can lure the enemy away!" ”

Petrovsky's eyes lit up, and he remembered the experience of this breakthrough, the enemy's defense on the bridges at key junctions was indeed very tight, basically weaving a net in the area of the city center of Kazan, Spassky and Nameless Island. But the police and gendarmes stationed on the nodes of the network are not without loopholes. Once these guys find their tracks, they will swarm up, without thinking about leaving a garrison at all, or only a small garrison, and they are often led around the block a few times, and it becomes a plate of loose sand, and then they can break through the same way.

Georgi immediately drew up a battle plan, dividing the remaining six men into two groups, a group of two and a group of four, with Georgi leading the latter to lure the enemy, while the former would hide and ambush the enemy before crossing the bridge.

Georgy redistributed the few ammunition, leaving most of it to Petrovsky, who crossed the bridge with the camera, "these ammunition will be left to you, the task behind you is even more difficult, remember, success or failure is here, after crossing the bridge, go straight to the Petrograd Hotel, go to Comrade Petrovsky and ask him to preside over the situation!" ”

After doing the most difficult explanation, Georgi shook Petrovsky's hand heavily, and then resolutely led his three companions to attack the enemy at the bridgehead, fierce gunfire resounded at the bridgehead, hidden in the shadows, Petrovsky watched Georgi's decoy team gradually take the enemy away from the bridgehead, until the shadow of the enemy could no longer be seen on the bridge, he tearfully glanced at the direction in which Georgi disappeared, and then quickly rushed to the bridgehead with the only remaining companions.

Petrovsky had never run so fast, and the moment he stepped on the bridge, his heart pounded, and he glanced across the river, the Petrograd Hotel on the banks of the Bolshaya Nevka River in the distance, and once he got there, he could fulfill the trust of the Party Central Committee and thwart the enemy's plots. Petrovs took a deep breath and quickened his pace again, knowing that he had to hurry, faster!

As Petrovsky hurried across the river, he did not notice that there was a Maxim machine gun hidden in the shadow of the bridge, let alone that it had been firmly locked on to him and his companions.

With the order of the enemy hiding at the bridgehead, a bright tongue of fire suddenly erupted from the black muzzle, and the overwhelming rain of bullets instantly knocked him and his companions to the ground...... (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
