General Charginsky defected, and he obeyed the call of Marshal Timoshenko.

The 129 Infantry Division, originally pinned on by Khachiko, has now become a nightmare for the Russians. The resistance here quickly collapsed.

A large number of workers' brigades, women's battalions, and cadet regiments were annihilated, and a large number of civilian armed forces were slaughtered. And in the face of the tragedy that is happening, Kachiko has no choice at all.

For the first time, the appeal of Marshal Timoshenko was demonstrated on the battlefield......

In less than two hours, the Soviet civilian forces that were resisting here were completely annihilated, about 20,000 people were killed and 45,000 were captured.

General Kachiko ended his mission by committing suicide, which was probably the only thing he could do......

When he received this news, Marshal Budyonny was dumbfounded, he could not have imagined that the commander of the Red Army, whose conviction should be so strong, would do such a thing.

And the rapid collapse of the civilian armed forces also had to make Budyonny's regular army have to face the onslaught from the Germans in advance......

The mutinous 129 Infantry Division, which was reorganized into the 21st Infantry Division of the Russian Free Army at the first time, was promoted to lieutenant general. and took on the task of taking the lead in attacking the Soviet troops on the opposite side.

On the battlefield, there was a scene of the Soviet army attacking the Soviet army.

The Russians, who had just surrendered, plunged into the assault on the enemy who were wearing the same clothes as they had not even had time to change their original uniforms.

But at this time the 21 Infantry Division. But they no longer have to worry about the threat of artillery fire from the air and the ground, but these powerful forces are now their reliable backing.

Artillery fire was vented on this battlefield. It never ends from day to night......

In the morning of the next day, Marshal of the Soviet Union Timoshenko made his famous speech.

He called for an immediate cessation of the war, and for all Soviet soldiers, civilians, to lay down their weapons, to put an end to the suffering of Moscow, to end the war that could destroy Moscow, and to overthrow the comrades of the brutal. Building a completely new Russian ......

The speech quickly spread through various channels and caused a great uproar in Moscow.

Marshal Timoshenko had a high reputation in Russia, and he was a highly decorated Marshal of the Soviet Union. He is a well-loved senior leader. His defection shook the whole of Moscow.

The impact is hard to put into words......

In less than 24 hours, following the 129th Infantry Division of the former Soviet Army, the 130th and 149th Infantry Divisions mutinied one after another. Subsequently. The 68th Tank Brigade also defected. declared its readiness to accept the leadership of Marshal Timoshenko......

It's messed up, it's completely messed up on the battlefield......

The force generated by a single call to action is even greater than that of hundreds of cannons......

At the beginning, Ernst. Marshal Bram risked his life to rescue him, and many were still puzzled, but now they understood it completely.

The Germans were encouraged by the uncertainties on the battlefield, but Moscow was dealt a heavy blow.

Although there have been many surrenders in the past, it must have come when the ammunition and food were exhausted and there was no longer anything to think about. But this time it was completely different.

This time, the troops surrendered without the slightest resistance, and the entire Soviet system was quietly collapsing......

Once an incomparably strong faith. It's no longer visible; I was once willing to sacrifice for my motherland without hesitation, but now which soldiers have fundamentally changed......

However, this really cannot be blamed on the officers and soldiers who surrendered...... When you don't see any hope at all, you may make the same choice......

Marshal Budyonny was severely criticized, and Stalin ordered him to immediately stop such a thing, and immediately isolate officers suspected of being likely to surrender, and if necessary, shoot them directly on the battlefield.

When Stalin called on the street, Budyonny could only smile wryly.

Comrade Stalin really should have gone to the battlefield to see for himself what the chaos on the battlefield had become. A large number of front-line troops surrendered, and a large number of front-line officers were panicked, and God knew whether friendly troops on their flanks would make secret contact with the Germans and suddenly attack themselves without any defense......

There are some things that are simply not under the control of the commanders of the front.

Zhukov then called, and Zhukov spoke in a much more polite tone, telling Budyonny that it was enough to do what a Bolshevik should do.

Perhaps by the time this call was made, Zhukov already knew how long Budyonny would not be able to hold out for long in the battle in the outer city......

As mutinies continued to occur, the German offensive became more and more violent.

Budyonny, who had lost his barrier, was completely in passivity.

He was forced to devote all his reserves at the beginning of the war, but some of the reserves that had just arrived on the battlefield also mutinied.

The situation has completely spiraled out of control......

More and more Soviet troops, turning against each other, joined the ranks of the German army, and the call of Marshal Timoshenko continued to sound on the battlefield all night long.

Only a few Soviet commanders remained steadfast in their beliefs, ignoring the formidable enemy and the call of Marshal Timoshenko, for whom there were only two endings, either to repel the enemy's attack or to die on this battlefield......

The shells frantically destroyed the positions of the Russians, without stopping at all, every inch of the position was combed by the shells, and the land was turned over several times.

The scorched smell is so pungent, and it burns blood and life here......

It was not the Germans who were attacking. Rather, it was a large number of Russian Free Army, and large-scale attacks by Russians against Russians were seen everywhere.

So far in the war, even the Soviet soldiers who are still resisting have long been disheartened. The powerful German army had not yet been put on the offensive. The attack of the Russian Free Army, armed by the Germans, had already made it difficult for them to resist, and the outcome of such a battle was already predestined......

The phone on Budyonny's desk kept ringing, and there were pleas for reinforcements everywhere, but where did Budyonny go for reinforcements?

He had also pleaded with Moscow, but the answer from the Moscow side was very simple, they had no reinforcements, they had to prepare for the coming fierce street fighting.

So. Now Budyonny and his troops have effectively become a lone force......

Very ridiculous thing, behind them is Moscow, as long as Moscow wants to. Reinforcements could arrive at any time, but they were alone.

How do you explain all this? Budyonny didn't know what to do.

Charge after charge, defense after defense, under the constant blows of the enemy. The vitality of the defending side is being rapidly weakened. Maybe it's tomorrow morning. The enemy with the bayonet will appear in front of Budyonny.

He had a clear conscience, he was firm in his beliefs, and he was doing what a true Bolshevik should do.

Fight for the Motherland - Die for the Motherland!

And while the Soviet soldiers on the front line were fighting bloodily, Stalin, who was completely enraged by the constant mutinies in Moscow, decided to carry out a major purge in the troops with an iron fist.

Zhukov and Vasilevsky, who heard the news, were completely shocked.

Now, the enemy is about to enter Moscow, but at this time Stalin is actually going to carry out a new purge?

This is not an effort to encircle Moscow, this is simply a favor for the Germans.

But Stalin's determination had already been made. He told Zhukov and Vasilevsky: "There are a large number of traitors and undetermined positions hidden in our troops, and Timoshenko and those who defected on the battlefield are representatives of them. If the purge of the troops is not completed as soon as possible, the purpose of defending Moscow will not be achieved at all......"

Zhukov and Vasilevsky tried to persuade again, but Stalin, who had already made up his mind, was not moved at all, and he gave this task to Beria, who almost died at his hands......

A purge began without warning!

A large number of Soviet officers who were actively preparing for street fighting were inexplicably arrested, some of them were subordinates of the former Marshal Timoshenko, and some of them were not identified by the position of the former Marshal Timoshenko...... Most of them were secretly executed without trial, and the impact of this was obvious, and the Soviet soldiers, who had lost their commanders, had no idea what was going on in the road or what they were going to do next.

The new commanders who were quickly sent to them by their superiors were all temporarily promoted from other units, and some of the company commanders were even just ordinary soldiers before they became officers. They have no command experience, and they have no idea what their predecessors did to defend Moscow.

All previous efforts to fight in the streets were overturned, and the new commanders used their ideas to re-prepare for the street fighting......

That's the saddest thing.

The bloody storm in Moscow was raging, and the gunfire continued to ring out before the Germans entered the city, but this time it was their own people who were killing their own people.

Blood has already stained the streets of Moscow in advance......

Executions took place almost every hour, and some Soviet officers who had made great achievements for the Soviets were all shot and killed without exception because they were implicated.

In the face of everything that happened in front of them, Zhukov and Vasilevsky were anxious, and this was simply a matter of pain for relatives and happiness for enemies. But they had no choice but to do everything possible to save as many lives as possible.

What is more strange is that General Temitav, who was really involved with Timoshenko and played a large role in Timoshenko's escape from Moscow, was not implicated in the slightest.

On the contrary, he was further reused, and he and his troops were placed in very important defensive positions......

It is said that this was a direct order from Comrade Stalin. Comrade Stalin handed over Beria two lists, one blacklisted and the other red.

blacklisted. They were all dangerous elements who could be executed without interrogation, and those on the red list were those who had a strong political position in the eyes of Comrade Stalin.

Timmy Tav is one of the red lists......

Even Zhukov was surprised by the trust he received, and even Zhukov specially asked people to find him, asking him to do something: find the right opportunity to protect some people on the blacklist.

Those were the Bolsheviks who were extremely loyal in Zhukov's eyes!

Temitav did not hesitate in the slightest. Soon agreed to Zhukov's request.

He also received secret orders from Baron Alexon and Marshal Timoshengo to hide as much as possible and not reveal his identity. Wait for the next decisive instruction.

In order to ensure a lurking victory, Temitav was more than happy to do something for Zhukov in exchange for the marshal's trust in him......

At the risk of angering Comrade Stalin, he met with the supreme ruler of Moscow and relayed Zhukov's opinion to him.

It's weird. Stalin who rejected Marshal Zhukov in one gulp. But he attached great importance to Temitave's words, and he even asked him for his opinion.

Temitav boldly replied: "Comrade General Secretary, I think that Comrade Marshal Zhukov did this out of a sense of responsibility and loyalty to you and the Soviets. He didn't have to intercede for people who had nothing to do with him, but he did it anyway, and everything he did was to defend Moscow......"

"And you." Stalin interrupted him: "Everything you do is also for the defense of Moscow. Comrade Temitav, these people have nothing to do with Comrade Zhukov. It has nothing to do with you, but you have the courage to speak your mind in front of me. It's good and satisfying...... Well, I'll think about it carefully, and I'll discuss it with Comrade Beria......"

After Temitave left, he realized that his back was covered in sweat.

It is not easy to deal with the Supreme Leader face to face......

Temitav's efforts were in vain, and his advice apparently went a long way, saving a large number of Soviet commanders who had already been escorted to the execution ground.

After all, Stalin's hated people had already been shot almost before, and the effect of killing one hundred people had already been achieved, and continuing the endless slaughter would only have the opposite effect.

These people who have been rolling in circles on the line of death may be grateful for his kindness and play a greater role in the defense of Moscow.

However, those who were rescued were even more grateful to Temitave. If it weren't for Demitave's efforts, they would all be wronged by now.

Temitave's prestige was greatly boosted during this event......

Moscow was undergoing turbulent changes, and Marshal Budyonny, who continued to fight outside the city, was at the end of his rope.

The offensive of the Russian Free Army was already difficult to stop, and at this time the Germans finally showed their hideous fangs and joined the attack.

All Soviet positions have become precarious, and there is a danger of being broken through at any moment...... The incessant bombardment has left the positions that have been painstakingly built into ruins.

A large number of Soviet soldiers were suffering huge sacrifices every minute, and at this time, Marshal Budyonny had no soldiers in his hands to send to the position.

On 7 July, the Germans and the Free Russian Army had completed a breakthrough in the main positions, and more than 35,000 Soviet troops were killed.

Surrenders became frequent, and this time it was not just because of the summons of Marshal Timoshenko, but this time it was they who took the initiative to ask for surrender.

They can no longer endure such defeats, and they can no longer accept hopeless bloodshed.

In particular, the news of the purge in Moscow made them feel even more desperate.

They are fighting bloodily here, but in Moscow their companions or family members may be being slaughtered, who knows when the butcher's knife will fall on their heads?

Any decision made by the leader may be decisive for the war......

On the 7th, Budyonny reported to Comrade Stalin the last time on the situation at the front, and according to his estimates, at most by the 8th, the enemy would be able to completely crush his own troops.

The answer given to him by Stalin was: "I do not want to see the marshal whom I trust become a prisoner of the enemy......"

Enough, enough, it's enough to have this phrase. Marshal Budyonny had fully read what Stalin meant.

Since you can't be a prisoner of the enemy, then die on this battlefield.

On the 7th, the Germans launched a full-scale offensive, and Budyonny's corps suffered a crushing defeat.

In the early morning of the 8th, Budyonny committed suicide in his headquarters.

Semyon. Mikhailovich. Budyonny was born on April 25, 1883 in a poor peasant family in the village of Kojulin, Rostov region. He was drafted into the army in 1903 and fought in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905.

In 1908 he graduated from the Petersburg Cavalry School and served in the coastal dragoon regiment.

During the First World War, he fought on the German, Austrian, and Caucasian fronts. In preparation for the October Revolution in 1917, Budyonny was elected chairman of the Soldiers' Committee of the Caucasian Cavalry Division Company, Chairman of the Regimental Soldiers' Committee, and Deputy Chairman of the Divisional Soldiers' Committee. Later, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Southwestern Direction, Commander-in-Chief of the North Caucasus, etc.

On July 8, 1943, Budyonny was killed outside Moscow.

And it was on this day that all the outer lines of Moscow were lost, and the German soldiers were finally able to see Moscow in the most real way! (To be continued......)
