Years of the Republic of China 1913

If anyone in the world knew Stalin best, besides Stalin's closest people, Fang Zida was probably the one who knew him best.Stalin was self-willed and arrogant, but also extremely suspicious and extremely insecure... A person like him would not give up Moscow easily.

Just like World War II in history, the German army group had already hit the city of Moscow, but Stalin still refused to leave Moscow, claiming to 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 because of his persistence in Moscow that he inspired the morale of the people, which firmly blocked the Germans from attacking, and finally won the victory.From this point of view, if the Chinese army marched all the way west, and the soldiers pointed directly at Moscow, in terms of personal character or political interests, the possibility of Stalin abandoning Moscow and leaving was very small.

Then again, what if Stalin left Moscow?This is not the era of Napoleon, and Soviet Russia is not the Russian Empire.The Soviet regime is guaranteed to be established under the autocratic rule of the lower class by the state apparatus. If Stalin abandons the capital and flees, the Soviet regime will collapse immediately like a mansion built on the beach. As a qualified dictator, Stalin will not fail to Know this truth.

For these reasons, Fang Zida has great confidence in destroying Soviet Russia in their capital - Moscow.Of course, Wu Peifu is just a soldier, and his political inadequacy prevents him from seeing this through. This is also the difference between Fang Zida and Wu Peifu.

Seeing that Fang Zida insisted on going his own way, Wu Peifu could only reluctantly agree in the end.However, in order to ensure the safety of the Northwest Army, Wu Peifu still put forward a request to increase troops on the Soviet-Russian battlefield.Regarding this point, Fang Zida decided to mobilize two more group armies, with a total of 12 troops, to go northward to cover the right wing and retreat of the Northwest Army.

The General Staff modified the combat plan in a very short time.After receiving the order, Lu Jianzhang's department quickly stopped marching towards Serov and temporarily stopped in Tagil for assembly.At the same time, Bai Chongxi's armored troops and the group army composed of the 101st and 102nd divisions began to separate from the Serov battlefield and gradually transferred the battlefield to other brother troops.Corpses made up of labor camps also marched north from Tyumen to join the campaign against Serov as an auxiliary offensive.Zhang Huchen's Far East Group Army spent three days trying to advance westward, but Fu Longzhi couldn't do anything.He voluntarily gave up on Khanty, retracted his troops back to Serov, relied on the Ural Mountains in the northwest as a natural danger, and continued to stick to Serov.

The mobilization of the Chinese army is very secretive, and the daily attacks against Serov have never stopped. Facing the powerful artillery fire, aircraft bombing and the endless harassing attacks of small groups of troops, Frunze was busy dispatching troops, where Also take into account the situation of the enemy's armored forces.Furthermore, urban war tanks are simply useless.The Chinese armored forces retreated before they were mobilized. This is also the main reason why Frunze didn't feel the enemy's anomaly.

On April 4, Lu Jianzhang's 28 troops plus 12 supplementary troops and Bai Chongxi's armored troops and the 5st and 101nd divisions formed a group army, with a total of 102 troops assembled and replenished in Nizhny Tagil.According to the order of the General Staff, two armored divisions formed an armored group, and the entire force was reorganized, with Lu Jianzhang as the commander-in-chief. The main target of attack was Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union.

April 4.The whole 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 all its attention on the generation of Serov who fought the war. It never expected that the Chinese Army would concentrate 29 troops into the hinterland of Soviet Russia.He rushed towards Moscow aggressively. [

On May 5, the Chinese Army captured Perm lightly and wiped out a division of Perm's garrison. On May 3, an army of Kirov's Red Army was suddenly surrounded by the Chinese Army. After a night of bitter fighting, the whole army surrendered. May 5.The Chinese army crossed the Volga River, and suddenly captured Nizhny Novgorod before the Red Army could react, encircling and annihilating 9 defenders.At the same time, the Chinese Air Force set up an air base in Kirov, and bombers took off from Kirov.Crossing the Volga to the west, the bomb was dropped on Stalin's head for the first time. At this time, Stalin in the Kremlin suddenly realized that the Chinese had already hit Moscow.

Panicked, Stalin quickly mobilized his troops to defend. You must know that Nizhny Novgorod is only 400 kilometers away from Moscow, and at the advancing speed of the Chinese Army, it will take only a few days to reach the city.Moreover, with the emergence of the Chinese Air Force, the bombing dropped on Moscow caused the hearts of the military and the people in the capital to fluctuate.For this reason, Stalin decided to give a speech on the radio to show that as the leader of the Supreme Soviet, he would lead by example, stick to Moscow, and be with his people.And call on all the people to take up arms and arm themselves to resist the invaders and defend their homeland.

Most of the elite units of the Red Army are in Serov, and besides a few guard divisions in Moscow, there are 30 newly formed new troops.These troops add up to nearly 50 people, which is twice the size of the Chinese Army in terms of numbers.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 had to have more troops. There was no other way than to temporarily arm the people to join the war.

While arming the people and calling for resistance to the invaders, Stalin immediately ordered the Revolutionary Military Council to order Frunze on the front line to immediately retreat from Serov and return to defend Moscow.But who would have thought that Frunze, who received the order, did not follow Stalin's request to lead the army to withdraw from Serov. After a night of deep thinking, 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 should draw a front army to reinforce the direction of Moscow, and try their best to entangle the Chinese marching towards Moscow.As for Serov's other troops, they must not be mobilized, at least not now.Only by defending Serov can the enemy's strength be contained and the Soviet gain time.

In addition, Frunze also suggested that Stalin retreat to St. Petersburg and abandon Moscow, because from the perspective of terrain and battle situation, it is not a good idea to stick to Moscow.However, these suggestions of Frunze were accepted by Stalin except abandoning Moscow, but in private it is said that Stalin lost his temper in his palace and cursed Frunze angrily. Before that, the Chinese would not easily hit Nizhny Novgorod under their noses.

The war will continue. Facing the critical situation, Stalin went a little crazy. He hysterically scolded all the members of the Revolutionary Military Council, 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 put on a posture of defending Moscow, but also quietly instructed Dzerzhinsky to carry out a very important political task.Dzerzhinsky, who received the task, quickly found some Tatar soldiers with good backgrounds and firm political stances in various units, or soldiers with similar appearance to Tatars.He used these people to organize several small teams, and after a short period of training, he asked them to wear crude and imitation Chinese National Defense Army uniforms, and then burned, killed and looted in the outskirts of Moscow.

These counterfeit people often slaughtered all the people in a village, and they were even more rude to young women. They raped and then killed, and then raped after killing... There were even a few old ladies in the village who had a unique appetite.After doing their evil deeds, they put their arms around each other and stood in front of the piles of dead bodies to take pictures.It's just that the person who took pictures of them was wearing the uniform of a Red Army instructor. This scene can't but be said to be a great irony.

After the photos were developed, Dzerzhinsky immediately felt like a treasure, and immediately claimed credit in front of Stalin, and then repeatedly "exposed" the evil deeds of the Chinese invaders on major newspapers and radio stations across the country, using this to arouse The hatred and morale of the people.
