    For the first time, the people of Moscow felt that the war was so close to them. Since the war began, radio stations and newspapers have been publicizing how many Chinese devils the heroic Red Army had wiped out in a certain place, and what great achievements it had made in the war to defend the Soviet Union.  .  Just a dozen days ago, the Supreme Soviet claimed that the 1 million main force of the Chinese and the White Army had been surrounded by the Red Army in the Serov area, and victory in the war was just around the corner.  Who would have thought that before the sound of propaganda had gone far, the Chinese Communist Regiment had actually reached a place 400 kilometers east of Moscow, and the entire Moscow also welcomed the arrival of the Chinese Air Force for the first time.

    "The powerful abnormality made it difficult for the people in Moscow and the surrounding areas of Moscow to accept it for a while. Didn't it say that all the Chinese devils were almost wiped out?  Why is it now that Nizhny Novgorod has been occupied with great force, and the troops are pointing directly at Moscow?  Whose words are true?  In the face of reality, all words are of no use. As the Chinese people came to the conclusion, the entire Soviet Union began to panic.

    At this time, the "incident" of small groups of Chinese Japs entering and exiting near Moscow, raping and massacring villagers was revealed, which further caused panic among the people.  Of course, Stalin's trick was somewhat effective. Some ordinary party members who were deeply poisoned rushed to respond to the central government's call and joined the temporarily formed new troops to fight to defend the Soviet Union.

    But there are also smart people among the people. According to some photos disclosed by the government, some people who have been to China or have interacted with Chinese people can see that these incidents are completely fabricated.  Although the people in the photo are wearing uniforms of the Chinese National Defense Force, their military ranks and uniform styles are completely different.  The most obvious one is a photo of him wearing a sergeant's uniform but wearing a major's epaulettes, and what's even more bizarre is that.  This major epaulette is still the style of the old Beiyang in the early Republic of China, when Yuan Shikai was the president.

    You should know that since Fang Zida reorganized the National Defense Force and established a new national army, the Chinese Army has gradually eliminated various types of original military uniforms and military ranks, and redesigned and stipulated unified new military uniforms and military rank symbols.  As a person who knows something about Chinese affairs, it is not difficult to see that if the other party is a real Chinese, he will definitely not dress like this, if he is not a Chinese.  So what does this photo and the events that happened mean?

    These thoughts flashed through some people¡¯s minds. Although they did not dare to speak out, they actually found the real answer in their hearts.  With the defeat on the battlefield and the successive victories of the Chinese Communist Regiment and the Far East Government Army, that is, the orthodox government army of the Russian Empire, these smart people and other people who were dissatisfied with Soviet rule began to make plans to change the flag when the time came.  Unique flag.  Preparations were quietly made for the fall of the Soviets.

    But overall, the trick Stalin asked Dzerzhinsky to play still had a lot of effects. It only "sacrificed" a small number of people, but it inspired the majority of people to resist the Chinese devils, and it also  It has greatly raised the consciousness of party members and cadres, allowing them to see that there is absolutely no way out of compromise and surrender.

    Take advantage of the opportunity when public opinion is boiling.  Stalin instructed the government and the army to send a large number of political cadres to recruit new soldiers and form troops.  During the ten days when the Chinese Communist Regiment captured Nizhny Novgorod and took a short rest, the strength of Moscow's defense forces suddenly surged from 500,000 to 1.2 million.

    This is a huge number.  Perhaps only a government like the Soviets in the world can do this.  Of course, the actual combat effectiveness of this 1.2 million-strong army is only a few Guards divisions and local troops.  The total number of these troops is only 200,000 at most. The other 300,000 are recruits who have not yet completed their training. The remaining 700,000 are even worse. They are composed entirely of workers, farmers, students and even women. Among them are young people.  Some of them are less than 16 years old, and the oldest ones are even over 50 years old. Not to mention training, they don¡¯t even have equipment. Some of them are holding outdated rifles from more than ten years ago, and some even bring shotguns from home.  Come.  As for military uniforms, the troops were unable to provide them normally due to time constraints. Everyone wore all kinds of clothes. To put it bluntly, this was like a beggar-like army. Sending these people to the battlefield like this was purely to serve as cannon fodder.

    Stalin didn¡¯t care about this. He only needed someone to guard Moscow and protect him, the actual ruler of the Supreme Soviet.  The equipment of this improvised army of 700,000 people is a bit crude, but after all, the full 700,000 people should still be able to play some role.  According to intelligence, the total number of Chinese troops who fought in Nizhny Novgorod did not exceed 300,000. Although the Chinese had advanced weapons and were well-trained, they still had 1.2 million troops at their disposal, and the consumption was four to one.  , Stalin was still very sure.  What's more, Frunze had also mobilized some troops to reinforce Moscow, and other Red Army troops were arriving one after another after receiving orders from the west, which made Stalin feel relieved.

    On May 27, the Chinese Communist Regiment in Nizhny Novgorod launched its first attack on Moscow after a short period of rest and supplies.  The Chinese ** regiment uses armorThe troops were the vanguard, advancing rapidly westward under the cover of aircraft, and reached Vyazniki in one day.  The next day, Vyazniki, the vanguard of the Chinese Communist Regiment, continued to advance towards Moscow. However, this time as it got closer to Moscow, the resistance it encountered became stronger. Among them, the Chinese Communist Regiment advanced to Vlad  In the area near Kimil, they encountered a newly formed Red Army unit consisting of a Guards Division and a total of 100,000 defenders who resisted tenaciously. After a day of fierce fighting, although the Chinese ** regiment broke through the opponent's defense line several times, it was unable to defend the enemy.  The army did not care about life and death, and temporarily stopped the attack to avoid excessive casualties in a life-for-life style of play.

    "Stalin worked hard! I guess he almost used up the strength to feed himself today." The commander-in-chief, Army General Lu Jianzhang, convened an impromptu military meeting. As the war progressed, his mood became more and more comfortable.  Moreover, when Lu Jianzhang received the order from the General Staff to use his Northwest Army as the main assault force to attack Moscow, Lu Jianzhang was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth.

    He could imagine that as long as he led his army to capture Moscow, it would be the first achievement of this war.  After the war is over, he will definitely not be able to escape the position of marshal based on his merits in the Sino-Soviet War.  If not, Lu Jianzhang should be the next Minister of Defense. He has always been jealous of the position of Minister of Defense, and now he finally has the opportunity.

    First, the staff battle report from the staff department was explained. After listening to the battle report, Lu Jianzhang touched the beard on his lips and said this with a smile. The generals at all levels who participated in the meeting laughed at the same time.

    Lu Jianzhang pressed his hands triumphantly, and after the laughter gradually subsided, Lu Jianzhang looked at Deng Xihou, the commander of the 3rd Armored Division who was responsible for the main attack today.

    "Jinkang, you don't have to feel bad about the setback in today's attack. The temporary halt was my order. You won't blame me, right?"

    "How could it be? Boss, I cannot thank you enough for your love for your subordinates. But boss, although our army's offensive resistance is quite strong today, the enemy's losses are many times that of our army. Moreover, Vladimir is east of Moscow.  Gate, if Vladimir is captured, our army will be able to leap directly into the city of Moscow. We should go all out and step up the attack. Once time passes and enemy troops from all over the country are reinforced, our army's offensive resistance will be reduced.  It will be even bigger!¡±

    Deng Xihou is indeed called the Crystal Monkey. This statement is so clear that even Bai Chongxi nodded slightly in agreement.

    "Haha, there are battles for you. Our army marches forward and uses lightning tactics to catch the enemy off guard. However, it is not appropriate to compete with the opponent and consume them. Now our army is in the heart of the enemy. Once the casualties of the troops are too large, it will affect the entire battle situation.  It's not worth it. Commander Bai can answer this for everyone. In the battle of Serov, Commander Bai proposed to postpone the attack for this reason, isn't it?" Lu Jianzhang asked Bai Chongxi who was looking down with a smile.

    Of course, Bai Chongxi would not deny it. He briefly talked about the tactics used by Frunze in Serov. He pointed out that Lao Maozi's style of play was very special. He did not seek victory but only sought to kill the enemy and himself, and used quantity to compete for consumption.  Once you fall into the enemy's tactical trap, it will be detrimental to the entire war.

    "But boss, now that the war has reached this level, the next step will be a tough battle! A fierce battle! What we have in front of us is already the enemy's capital. As long as we capture Moscow, more than half of this war will be won. At this time, attrition is the key to avoid  No matter what, as long as victory is achieved, all costs are acceptable." Liu Mingzhao expressed his opinion as the chief of staff of the 3rd Armored Division, and his words were also approved by most people.  The Battle of Serov is different from the Battle of Moscow. In Serov, you can use other tactics to avoid excessive casualties of the troops, but it cannot be avoided in Moscow. If you want to end this war as soon as possible and completely defeat the Soviets, you must win Moscow.  At this time, instead of considering casualties, we should consider how to completely defeat the enemy and march into Moscow.

    "I understand! I understand!" Lu Jianzhang was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he nodded with a smile: "I have been fighting for a lifetime. I have been in the military for decades. How can I not understand this truth? Let me tell you the truth.  , today¡¯s suspension of the attack is firstly due to the reasons mentioned just now, and secondly, there is also a special reason, because we temporarily received a telegram from the country, and we stopped the attacking troops only after careful consideration.¡±

    "Domestic telegram?" Everyone looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't figure out what kind of telegram was coming from China?  Could it be that the gentlemen at the General Staff are just talking on paper and planning to give blind orders?  Or did something unexpected happen at the Central Committee?
