037 Continue untitled
Yezhov did not want to go to the General Directorate of Posts and Telecommunications and Telephones at all, he knew very well that if he did, it would mean that they would have to fight the hordes of white troops, and as a man who was very afraid of death, he tried to avoid this danger.
Of course, the reason why Ye Ruofu didn't want to go to the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephone was not only because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but more importantly, he didn't want to see Li Xiaofeng again at all, let alone "save" this big enemy.
The thought that he was going to "save" a great enemy made Yezhov feel uncomfortable, and even with it, he hated Mikoyan more and more, and it was this man who forced him to do so. And if it weren't for Mikoyan, he would still be the commander-in-chief of the Young Volunteers at this time, and he would be majestic at every call, but now, he can only hang the false name of a commander-in-chief, but it is Mikoyan who really commands this army, and he can't even move a single soldier or pawn, and this feeling of being in power is too bad.
"Do we think too much?" Yezhov did not give up on his advice, "It is not surprising that the main forces of the enemy are gathering in the direction of the Kremlin, and we are so reckless in crashing into them...... Moreover, most of the comrades of our Young Volunteers are students, they have no combat experience, and many young comrades have not even held a gun, so I am afraid that it will be ...... to rashly let them go to the battlefield."
"The knife is sharpened faster and faster!" Mikoyan replied to him with a painless sentence, "At the critical moment of the revolutionary struggle, everything must be subordinated to the overall situation, as long as the revolution needs, our comrades must go up, and if there is no combat experience, then learn from the battle!" β
Yezhov is engaged in intrigue and intrigues, and the whole person may be considered an expert. But it's a rhetorical exercise. He's really not very good at talking guns. At the beginning, even a political rookie like Li Xiaofeng could eat him to death, let alone the old fox Mi Gaoyang. To put it mildly, in terms of this ability, Yezhov was only enough to be Mikoyan's grandson, so he could only obediently obey.
The General Office of Posts and Telecommunications and Telephone is located in the northwest direction of the Kremlin, and the straight-line distance is not particularly far, and standing on the roof of the General Office of Posts and Telecommunications, you can clearly see the spire of the Kremlin. At this time. Vladimirsky was standing on the roof of the building overlooking the Kremlin, and the battle had been going on for an hour, and the violent explosions and flashes of various muzzle flames constantly irritated Vladimirsky's nerves.
He was very worried, very worried, could Li Xiaofeng really be able to hold up such a fierce battle? He was very suspicious of this, so he repeatedly called to ask if a certain immortal needed reinforcements, but each time he got the answer was noβLi Xiaofeng had always calmly told him that the Kremlin did not need reinforcements, and that everything was in accordance with the battle plan formulated in advance.
Vladimirsky was equally unconfident in that battle plan. According to someone's design, the Kremlin will become a grinding disc of flesh that consumes the enemy's vital energy. When the enemy is almost consumed by this millstone, it is his turn to lead his troops to copy the enemy's rear path. Flank back and forth, and annihilate the enemy near Red Square in one fell swoop!
Vladimirsky felt that this plan seemed to be taken for granted, and he did not understand at all where Li Xiaofeng got the courage to resist the enemy's siege. True, the Kremlin's defenses are very complete, but after all, the enemy has an absolute superiority in troops, and the difficulty of defending a complex with a circumference of more than two kilometers with just over a thousand people can be imagined.
In any case, Vladimirsky could not calm down at the thought of the enemy pouring towards the Kremlin like a tide from all directions, and if it were him, he would definitely not be able to hold his position in such an extremely unfavorable situation, and he would not even be able to hold out for long.
Fortunately, Rokossovsky is not Vladimirsky, although both sides have a sky, but the two skyskies are very different in military ability, Rokossovsky is a military genius, and Vlakielmirsky can only be regarded as a military layman.
Of course, Rokossovsky in 1917 was not the super "hero of adversity" in 1942, and now he lacks combat experience and has not received formal military education.
However, there is definitely a reason why a person can succeed, and the reason why Rokossovsky was able to become a big man at the same level as Zhukov has an important relationship with some of the qualities he possesses.
From the evaluation of him by later generations, it can be seen that Rokossovsky is extremely determined, can remain calm no matter what kind of crisis situation, and once he has made up his mind, he will be extremely decisive and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
In the Battle of Smolensk, the Battle of Moscow, and the Battle of Stalingrad, Rokossovsky persevered to the bottom with his calm and focused mind. And now, the situation is nowhere near as bad as it was in 1942.
In Rokossovsky's view, although the White Army was large in number and fierce in attack, it really lacked discipline and would only attack with a dead brain, and even only knew that the road was advancing in clusters from the direction of the open Red Square.
Well, that's really silly! At least in Rokossovsky's opinion, stupidity, an open Red Square can indeed put down a lot of troops, can make a large dense charge, can put enough troops in one front.
However, the open terrain means that there is no cover, and launching a dense charge in an open square is, from another point of view, equivalent to sending people to death. And Rokossovsky is well aware of the firepower that his troops have, dense machine guns, submachine guns are like the sickles of death, which can sweep the enemy in pieces. Almost no one can break through such a fire net, not to mention that even if the enemy breaks through to the city wall, it will be difficult for them to climb up, and they can only wait helplessly to die under the city wall.
Looking at the White Army that was knocked down in pieces, Rokossovsky couldn't help but feel sad for them, the commander of the White Army was definitely a pig-headed, he would only send his troops to hell, and this idiot did not make any preparations for attacking the fortifications at all, did not prepare ladders and ropes, and did not arrange sappers to blow up the gates, only knew that the blind charge of the road, such a pig-headed commander commanded the Russian army, no wonder he would be beaten by the Germans at the front line.
If it was Rokossovsky to command the storm. He would never have chosen the direction of his breakthrough on Red Square. I said it earlier. It's too open for concealment. He will choose the direction of the breakthrough directly north of the Kremlin.
Not only are there large complexes that can act as cover for the attacking troops, leaving them as little direct exposure to fire as possible. Moreover, in that direction, the walls of the Kremlin formed a sharp arrow shape, and there were many dead spots for shooting, which, if used properly, could greatly weaken the firepower advantage of the defenders.
Even Rokossovsky will opt for a frontal feint. The tactic of the main attack on the flank, first distracting the defenders, and then unexpectedly cutting a hole in the city wall, and then a large force quickly followed, widening the gap, dividing and annihilating the enemy.
Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng's opponent is not a bull like Rokossovsky, otherwise, even if he holds the Kremlin, he will have to pay a great price, where is it so easy and comfortable as now. The enemy only knew that he was stupidly attacking the front, just like a target sent to the door. Just pull the trigger and you'll make a difference. Li Xiaofeng has the heart to give Liang Bozev the most "deep-sea" medal.
"Comrade Andrey. The enemy's attack was repulsed again! β
Li Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Comrade Konstantin, your command is too good. If we can achieve victory, I must reflect to Comrade Lenin that you are the greatest contributor to our victory! β
Rokossovsky's face flushed, and he seemed a little ashamed: "You have an overreputation. I didn't take that much credit, I just did what a warrior should do. If you hadn't led us to the Kremlin, I'm afraid this would have fallen into the hands of the enemy! So, you won for us! β
Li Xiaofeng felt that Rokossovsky was patting on the back, to be honest, it felt very good to be slapped on the back by a big bull like Rokossovsky, and Li Xiaofeng liked this taste very much. However, he didn't expect at all that Rokossovsky was not a particularly good sycophant, on the contrary, he was not particularly keen on politics and official skills, in a sense, this person was very sincere, if it weren't for Li Xiaofeng really convincing him, he wouldn't have made a sycophant against his will.
"Comrade Andrei, I think we should closely observe the enemy's movements, after hitting a wall on the frontal battlefield, they may attack from the flank, so it is necessary for us to adjust our defense!" After the sycophancy, Rokossovsky quickly got to the point.
Li Xiaofeng nodded, "You're right, three times in a row, the enemy is a pig, and he knows how to make changes...... In this way, Comrade Konstantin, I am not good at how to command battles, so I entrust you with all the command of battles, and you can adjust the defense deployment according to your own ideas! No need to notify me in advance! β
Rokossovsky was very moved, he felt that Li Xiaofeng was too modest, with his understanding of Teko and the Red Eagle Regiment, someone would definitely not be a military layman, let alone not know how to command battles. On the contrary, he felt that someone was very expert, and such a very professional person trusted him with confidence and boldness, let go and completely handed over the command of the troops to him, and gave him a stage to show himself, which really moved Rokossovsky too much and admired him too much.
In his mind, Li Xiaofeng is a selfless person who is willing to help and trust his comrades, he carries all the pressure on his shoulders, and does not fight for credit, such a person Rokossovsky feels very great, and it is really a great blessing to be able to work with such a great person! He was determined to make the most of this opportunity and thank the other party for his appreciation by winning a brilliant and beautiful victory.
The battle is still ongoing. Rokossovsky somewhat overestimated the IQ of Rybozev, and the colonel had no intention of changing the direction of the assault at all, probably the philosophy of life he believed in was to get up from where he fell. He must prove to the world that his troops will be able to break through the Bolshevik positions from the direction of Red Square, definitely!
The White soldiers continued to advance, in the midst of the intersecting nets of fire, facing the rain of bullets, and trudging painfully and with great difficulty towards their goal, gradually narrowing the distance to the Kremlin walls. It was almost so close that only a few dozen meters were left behind it.
From time to time, one soldier would be shot and fall, but this would not stop the others, and the other soldier would immediately vacate his position and push the battle line a little further.
Liang Bozev watched all this calmly, his heart full of joy. Yes. That's how he's feeling right now β joy!
He thought victory was within reach. As long as his soldiers cross the last little distance. You will be able to climb the walls of the Kremlin and declare to the whole country that the heroic Colonel Liang Bozev has recaptured the great and holy Kremlin!
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Liang Bozev's mouth, but the people next to him could hardly detect it or feel it. It is obvious that no one, except the Colonel himself, believed that the Goddess of Victory would lift her skirt to Colonel Lu. At least not today!
"Colonel, are we pausing the attack? The losses of the attacking forces were too great......"
"Pause the attack?" A wave of anger quickly rose in Liang Bozev's heart, and he interrupted the other party's words in a vicious tone. "For what?!"
At the moment when he was about to win, there was a stupid staff officer who asked him to suspend the offensive? Doesn't this fool see that victory is within reach? Ryobozev was enraged, and he said in a deep voice: "We will soon win, and the Bolsheviks are the last losers!" β
The staff officer was stunned for a moment, no matter what, he couldn't come up with a reason why his side would win, "You mean...... Win? Colonel, did I hear you right? β
"It's an irrefutable fact that we're about to win this battle." Continuing his efforts to control his anger, Liang Bozev asked rhetorically, "Don't you see that?" Our soldiers are about to climb the city wall! β
"What's the point of that?" The staff officer really couldn't think of how much point it made to climb the walls. The enemy on the walls is three to four times as many as their troops under the walls, and this is enough to climb the walls. It's also to die!
However, Liang Bozev took the opposite view: "Fool, you don't see the current situation clearly at all. He said loudly, drawing the attention of everyone in the vicinity, "As long as we climb the walls, victory will be ours." β
"But we have less than four hundred soldiers left. And the Bolshevik rebels are at least three times as numerous as we are," the staff officer tried to state the facts he knew, "and I personally believe that we will not be able to achieve victory at all." β
"Ridiculous!" Liang Bozev finally couldn't help it. The pitch was raised a bit. Angrily refuting the staff officer's bizarre arguments, at least he thought, "the moment our lads ascend the walls, it will be a great blow to the morale of the Bolsheviks, and the cowards will not have the courage to engage in hand-to-hand combat with our PACETOFACE." As soon as we climb the walls, they will crumble......"
He gushed on and on, but the staff officer couldn't listen to anything anymore. It is clear that his opinion is that their colonel has not only lost control of the situation on the battlefield, but has fallen into some strange fantasy, trying to turn the outcome of the battle in his favor by a pipe dream.
Liang Bozev has gone crazy, this is the only conclusion that this staff officer has reached. It would be foolish to reason with a madman, and he sighed and threw himself back into battle, hoping that his boy would be lucky.
Now, the White soldiers were very close to their goal, and they were trying to climb the mountain, but they clearly could not win the battle as their colonel thought.
The first White soldier finally made it to the city with great difficulty, followed by the second, the third, and the fourth......
At this moment, a smile appeared on Liang Bozev's face. However, the situation developed completely differently than he expected. None of the Bolsheviks retreated, the Bolsheviks with pistols and bayonets swarmed up, and the poor White soldier was shot a few times and then stabbed in a few more holes with bayonets before he could come to his senses.
Of course, many more White soldiers died on the way to the summit, and submachine guns and shotguns easily knocked them off the wall, and then the grenades thrown from the walls made them die with a bang.
So, for the White soldiers, the battle around the walls led them to another hell. Because, these soldiers quickly disappeared from the battlefield, like some stones thrown into a pond, which quickly sank to the bottom of the pond after making a splash, never to float.
Then, the smile on Liang Bozev's face also disappeared, replaced by the calm of the beginning. To others, the colonel seemed completely indifferent to his defeats and losses......
Ryobozev was calm, but there were also many people who were angry, such as his old friend Rudnev, who was strangely angry when he learned that his old friend had squandered the lives of 2,000 soldiers without success.
"Idiot! Idiot! Fool! β
At the first time, he made a final assessment of Colonel Liang Bozev's intelligence, and the results were very unsatisfactory, especially since this unsatisfactory will greatly affect the career of Mr. Mayor.
"The Mensheviks and the Cadets are very dissatisfied with Colonel Ryan Bozev, and they are even attacking you on this basis!" His secretary said in a panic.
Rudnev's face was red and blue, and he knew that the situation was very serious now, if he couldn't fight a turnaround battle before the arrival of Karekin's reinforcements, if Liang Bozev couldn't wash away the shame of defeat, then as Liang Bozev's recommender, he would definitely be implicated.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What does Liang Bozev say about this?" β
"The colonel just said he needed more troops!"
Rudnev took a deep breath and said categorically: "Tell him that I will give him the troops he wants!" But there's only one, take that damn palace right away! Immediately! (To be continued......)
