Chapter 784: Collapse (3)

The cold wind whined, the frost and snow flew, and the vast Eastern European wilderness was covered in silver, frozen for thousands of miles, looking desolate and magnificent. However, around Moscow, the capital of Red Russia, the armies of the two warring sides fought fiercely in this ice and snow, as if they were not in the slightest restrained by the harsh natural environment. Fighter planes roared, tanks galloped, and deafening thunderous explosions continued all night long; The warm blood that flowed out of Mimimi, soon froze into dark red ice crystals in the frost and wind, and thousands of lives withered sharply, and this is the natural theme of this cold winter season!

After three days of fierce fighting, the Imperial Russian army broke through into the main city of Moscow. The city with many buildings is like a huge labyrinth, with thousands of twists and turns, and every window of the building, every corner of the ruins, there may be hidden Red Russian officers and soldiers who are waiting to attack. In order to defend the city, Stalin, who had dug three feet into the ground, cobbled together a city defense army of more than 800,000 people, filling the huge city of Moscow; However, under this huge number of troops, there is unprecedented weakness and emptiness. The boys, who were dancing with spoons, and the old men who were close to their armor, were all trembling and incorporating into the ranks under the threat of the guns of the Guards, each of whom had an average of one rifle for every two men, and the other could only get a pitiful few rows of ammunition, in the same miserable situation as those of their predecessors 25 years ago.

And in the field of heavy weapons, the Red Russian army was even more shabby. They only had more than 300 tanks and assault guns for the defense of the city, and the number of planes was less than 100 -- due to Germany's competition for American and European talents in the economic crisis at the end of the 20s, Soviet Russia in this plane was completely unable to import enough funds and technicians from the Western world as it did historically; Under the condition of being blocked and isolated by the outside world for many years, Soviet Russia's machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry, aviation and other basic industries that can be called the basic industries of a country that can be called a great power. You can imagine it. And with the subsequent "Great Purge" unfolding. Soviet Russia's fragile industry, which was already congenitally deficient, suffered another setback. A large number of designers were labelled as hostile classes and exiled and slaughtered. At present, the T-34 tank, the main force of the Red Russian army, which uses simple spring suspension, was designed by engineers in the real room while being tortured and interrogated by internal affairs personnel; Its performance is undoubtedly due to the lack of Christie's suspension technology and the lack of related basic industries, and it is far from the historical model of the same name. In front of the German-made IV H tank, this tank was like a child's toy and was wantonly destroyed by the opponent!

For these reasons, although the Imperial Russian army attacking Moscow was only 400,000 men, they instead advanced in a vertical and horizontal manner. They had a numerical superiority of 3: 1 over the enemy on tanks and 2: 1 in the number of guns. The fighters were more than 10 times larger than the opponent, and almost completely occupied the daytime sky. In the face of the absolute superiority of the imperial Russian army, the Red Russian officers and soldiers who lacked combat skills had no choice but to use their own flesh and blood to block the advance of the other side, and die here with the bloody empire and the one-man tyrant in the Kremlin - those who tried to escape or refused to go to the front for various reasons have become miserable souls under the guns of the guards.

On November 12, the Imperial Russian army, occupying the outer city, concentrated a large amount of air and artillery firepower and launched a fierce and indiscriminate bombardment of the main city of Moscow. Hundreds of large-caliber howitzers were scattered and deployed in positions on the outskirts, and according to the observation reports fed back from the air, they destroyed the construction targets in the city with warp fire one after another: although the imperial Russian army did not achieve the advantage over the enemy in terms of the number of artillery and other heavy weapons, they completely destroyed the opponent in terms of quality. Its actual effectiveness was also far from being matched by that of the Red Russian army. For no other reason, with the aid of Germany. The proportion of heavy artillery in the Imperial Russian army was extremely high, and 150-mm howitzers as conventional weapons abounded; However, due to the limited industry of Soviet Russia, it could only rely on 76 mm and 85 mm guns to accumulate the number, and the actual firepower gap between the two sides was reflected in this. Buildings soon crumbled and collapsed under the bombardment of shells that rained down like a dense rain, and the dust billowed and scattered, and the flames soared; Imperial Russian officers and soldiers, supported by tanks and assault guns, advanced to the city, using flamethrowers, submachine guns and other weapons to engage in all-out street battles.

Compared with the battles on the outskirts of the city, the fighting inside the city is undoubtedly several times harsher; The narrow terrain made it difficult for the Imperial Russians to exploit their heavy firepower advantage, and the encounters in the houses brought the two sides to almost the same starting line, and the victors would only belong to the brave and lucky side. In many cases, the Imperial Russian army had to use heavy artillery and air support to completely flatten the buildings in front of them before they could continue to advance steadily; At this time, the value of the Grizzly assault guns aided by Germany was vividly reflected. They were flanked by strong defenses against 76mm anti-tank guns fired at close range, and an iron plate was erected on the rear bonnet to withstand Molotov cocktails falling from the sky; Ordinary tanks face the embarrassing situation of being ambushed by enemy troops in street battles, but these assault guns do not have any of them. In the face of the enemy entrenched on the roof of the high-rise building next to him, the "grizzly bear" with insufficient elevation angle also has its own countermeasures; After retreating dozens of meters, it directly bombarded the substructure of the building with the 170-mm mortar. The power of a single shot ten times that of an ordinary tank grenade is not at all something that the latter can bear lightly, and this brutal demolition full of violence has undoubtedly laid the foundation for the victory of the imperial Russian army!

On 20 November, the Imperial Russian army had formed a situation of division and encirclement of the defenders of Moscow. The city's defenders were divided into three isolated islands, unable to support each other and forced to fight on their own. Loudspeakers were set up on the front lines of the battlefield and broadcast their proclamations of surrender to the Red Russian soldiers over and over again at night. Knowing full well that the Bolsheviks under Stalin's rule relied on the Red Terror to drive the people to serve as their cannon fodder, the Qing Dynasty and the British military should not relax their propaganda in any campaign to awaken and inspire the revolt of those soldiers and civilians who had been enslaved by the Red Empire for a long time. In the dark nights when military operations were difficult to carry out, this propaganda voice replaced the rumbling artillery fire during the day, and became the master of the skies over the city of Moscow; Through the ruins and rubble, they reached the ears of the Red Russian soldiers without hindrance, and struck them like thunderbolts into their hearts.

In normal times, the Red Russian officers and soldiers have always avoided this kind of propaganda, because if they are discovered by the Cheka, they and their families will face the fate of imprisonment, exile, and even execution. No matter how ruthless the authorities' repression is, they dare not have the slightest disdain for the Kremlin. However, at the moment when the current Red Empire is nearing its end, the long-suppressed hearts of the Red Russian soldiers finally began to burst and thaw, and turned into a river of spring water. Instead of being pointlessly pushed to the front line and sent to death, it is better to take advantage of this perfect opportunity to do that rebellion that changes the world and the world!

From the ninth day of the Imperial Russian army's invasion of Moscow, rebellion and war finally began within the Red Russian army. A Red Russian company commander could not bear the indiscriminate command of the political commissar who ignored the battlefield situation, and after being abused and threatened by him, he angrily killed him and waved a white flag at the attacking imperial army. This action was like throwing a spark into a gasoline can, and it burst into an earth-shattering roar of thunder. The soldiers who had been forcibly recruited suddenly rose up and turned to attack the guards sent to supervise the battle; They joined forces with the Imperial Russian army that had entered from outside the city, and dealt a fatal blow to the remnants of the Guards when they landed!

"Comrade Stalin, you better quickly withdraw from the city!" Located in the underground bunker of the Kremlin, Voroshilov said to the bearded old man in front of him with a frightened and anxious face, "Now the situation in the whole city is out of control, and there are rebels who have defected to imperialism everywhere; They killed our commissar and turned to attack our guards with the enemy, and in less than 48 hours it was expected that the resistance of our troops would completely collapse! Now the airport in the west of the city is still in our hands, and the two prepared transport planes can fly directly from Moscow to Leningrad, if it continues to be delayed, you will really be trapped in the city of Moscow! Voroshilov is now really terrified, and all the power he has depends on the dictator in front of him: if Stalin is buried with the city, he will also lose his existing one, and neither the newly established Soviet government nor the wolf-like imperial Russian regime in the south will spare himself this bloody executioner who worked for the tiger in the Great Purge!

"Now, what's the point of me running away?" Stalin spoke in a hoarse voice, and his tone no longer had the sharpness of his usual power, but became as bleak and desolate as an old man who was about to die. Voroshilov wanted to persuade him again, but saw that Stalin waved his hand slowly and directly issued an expulsion order to him. Seeing the already emaciated back of the person in front of him, Voroshilov was cold; The current Stalin is no longer the fierce and steadfast king he knew!

He walked out of the bunker with a hesitant step, and a thought that had never been touched before crept through his mind. Perhaps, like those officials who fled abroad with money, he should seek a way out for the second half of his life; As long as you can live a prosperous life, even if this red empire falls, what does it have to do with you? (To be continued......)
