    If there is anyone who knows Stalin best in the world, apart from the person closest to Stalin, it is probably Fang Zida.  Stalin was headstrong and arrogant, but he was also extremely suspicious and extremely insecure People like him would not give up Moscow easily.

    Just like in World War II in history, the German army group has reached the gates of Moscow, but Stalin still refused to leave Moscow, claiming that he would be with the people and stay in Moscow to fight the German fascists until the last moment.  In the end, Stalin did the same. It was precisely because of his persistence in Moscow that he inspired the morale of the people, thus firmly blocking the German attack, and finally won the victory.  From this point of view, if the Chinese Communist Regiment marches all the way west and the military peak is directed towards Moscow, regardless of personal character or political interests, the possibility of Stalin abandoning Moscow and leaving is very small.

    Then again, what if Stalin leaves Moscow?  This is not the Napoleonic era, and Soviet Russia is not the Russian Empire back then.  The guarantee of Soviet power was based on the tyrannical rule of the state apparatus over the lower levels. If Stalin abandoned the capital and fled, the Soviet power would collapse immediately like a mansion built on the beach. As a qualified dictator, Stalin would not  Don't know the reason for this.

    Because of these reasons, Fang Zida was very confident that Soviet Russia would be eliminated in their capital, Moscow.  Of course, Wu Peifu is just a soldier, and his lack of political skills prevents him from seeing through this. This is also the difference between Fang Zida and Wu Peifu.

    Seeing that Fang Zida insisted on having his own way, Wu Peifu could only reluctantly agree.  But in order to ensure the safety of the Northwest Army.  Wu Peifu still made a request for additional troops on the Soviet-Russian battlefield.  Regarding this point, Fang Zida decided to mobilize two more armies.  A total of 120,000 troops moved north to cover the right wing and retreat of the Northwest Army.

    The General Staff modified the combat plan in a very short period of time. After receiving the order, Lu Jianzhang quickly stopped the march towards Serov and temporarily stopped in Tagil to assemble.  At the same time, Bai Chongxi's armored forces and the group army composed of the 101st and 102nd Divisions began to break away from the Serov battlefield and gradually transferred the battlefield to other brother units.  Legions composed of labor camps also marched north from Tyumen to join the battle against Serov as an assist in the offensive.  Zhang Huchen's Far East Army spent three days trying to advance westward, but Frunzhi was unable to do anything.  He voluntarily gave up Khanty and retracted his troops back to Serov. Relying on the Ural Mountains in the northwest as a natural barrier, he continued to hold on to Serov.

    The mobilization of the Chinese Regiment was very secretive, and the daily attacks against Serov never stopped. Faced with powerful artillery fire, aircraft bombings, and endless harassing attacks by small groups, Frunze was busy mobilizing troops.  Will.  There is no need to worry about the enemy's armored forces.  Furthermore, the urban warfare tanks did not work at all. The Chinese armored forces actively shrank back before being mobilized. This was the main reason why Frunze did not feel anything unusual about the enemy.

    On April 28, Lu Jianzhang¡¯s 120,000 troops plus 50,000 supplementary troops, Bai Chongxi¡¯s armored troops, and a group army composed of the 101st and 102nd Divisions, totaling 260,000 troops, completed assembly and supplies in Nizhny Tagil.  According to the order of the General Staff.  Two armored divisions formed an armored cluster, and the entire force was reorganized, with Lu Jianzhang as commander-in-chief. The main target of the attack was Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.

    On April 29, the entire army marched towards Moscow along the line of Nizhny Tagil-Perm-Kirov-Nizhny Novgorod and the Volga River.  The Soviet Red Army is now focusing its main attention on the Serov generation in the war.  I never expected that the Chinese Communist Regiment would gather 260,000 troops and penetrate directly into the hinterland of Soviet Russia, rushing towards Moscow with great momentum.

    May 3rd.  The Chinese Communist Regiment took Perm lightly and wiped out a division of Perm's garrison. On May 9, an army of Kirov's Red Army was suddenly surrounded by the Chinese Communist Regiment. After a night of hard work, the entire army surrendered.  On May 16, the Chinese Communist Regiment crossed the Volga River and suddenly captured Nizhny Novgorod before the Red Army could react, encircling and annihilating 70,000 defenders.  At the same time, the Chinese Air Force set up an air base in Kirov. Bombers took off from Kirov, crossed the Volga River to the west and dropped bombs on Stalin's head for the first time. At this time, Stalin in the Kremlin suddenly woke up.  Only then did I realize that the Chinese had actually reached Moscow.

    The panic-stricken Stalin quickly mobilized troops to defend. You must know that the distance from Nizhny Novgorod to Moscow is only 400 kilometers. With the advancing speed of the Chinese Communist Regiment, it will take less than a few days for troops to reach the city.  Moreover, with the emergence of the Chinese air force, the bombs dropped in Moscow caused the morale of the military and people in the capital to fluctuate.  To this end, Stalin decided to give a speech on the radio to express that as the leader of the Supreme Soviet, he would lead by example, stick to Moscow and be with his people.  And called on all people to take up arms and arm themselves to fight against invaders and defend their homes.

    Most of the elite troops of the Red Army are in Serov. In addition to a few Guards divisions in Moscow, there are 300,000 newly formed troops.??'s new troops.  The total number of these troops is nearly 500,000, which is twice the number of the Chinese Regiment.  But the senior commanders of the Red Army knew that these troops were no match for the Chinese. If they wanted to hold Moscow, they would have to have more troops. There was no other way but to temporarily arm the people to join the war.

    While arming the people and calling for resistance against the invaders, Stalin immediately asked the Revolutionary Military Council to order Frunze on the front line to immediately withdraw from Serov and return to defend Moscow.  But who would have thought that Frunze, who received the order, did not lead the army to withdraw from Serov as requested by Stalin. After a night of deep thought, he sent a long telegram to Stalin, explaining the serious consequences of hasty withdrawal from Serov.

    In the telegram, Frunze suggested that Serov¡¯s troops deploy a front to reinforce the direction of Moscow and do their best to entangle the Chinese who are marching towards Moscow.  As for Serov's other troops, they must not be mobilized, at least not now.  Only by guarding Serov can we further contain the enemy's power and buy the Soviets time.

    In addition, Frunze also suggested that Stalin retreat to St. Petersburg and abandon Moscow, because judging from the terrain and battle situation, it is not a good idea to defend Moscow.  However, although all of Frunze's suggestions, except for abandoning Moscow, were accepted by Stalin, privately it was said that Stalin lost his temper in his palace and cursed Frunze angrily, feeling that if Frunze hadn't been afraid of the enemy, he would have lost his temper.  Before, the Chinese would not easily hit Nizhny Novgorod under their noses.

    The war was still going on. Facing the critical situation, Stalin went a little crazy. He hysterically scolded all the members of the Revolutionary Military Commission, and then issued a national mobilization order again to form more troops in the shortest possible time.  Block the Chinese.

    In addition, in order to force the people to stand with him, he not only maintained a posture of defending Moscow, but also quietly instructed Dzerzhinsky to carry out a very important political task.  After receiving the mission, Dzerzhinsky quickly found some Tatar soldiers with good backgrounds and firm political stances in various units, or soldiers who looked similar to Tatars.  He used these people to organize several small teams, and after a short period of training, they put on crude imitations of the Chinese National Defense Forces uniforms, and then burned, killed, and looted on the outskirts of Moscow, committing all kinds of evil.

    ¡°These fakes often slaughter all the people in a village, and they are even less polite to young women. They rape first and then kill, and then kill and then rape There are even a few old ladies in the village who have unique appetites.  After they had done the evil, they stood arm in arm in front of the piled corpses and took pictures.  It's just that the person who took the photo was wearing the uniform of a Red Army instructor. This scene cannot but be said to be a great irony.

    After developing the photos, Dzerzhinsky immediately felt as if he had found a treasure. He immediately claimed credit in front of Stalin, and then repeatedly "exposed" the evil deeds of the Chinese invaders in major newspapers and radio stations across the country, using this to arouse  The hatred and morale of the people.
