"After storming the Soviet Foreign Ministry building early in the day and taking it there, I will give Yuan a report on the results!" Rundstedt said and waved his hand to indicate that his confidant could quit and prepare.
Chapter 1196 1197 Imperial afterglow
If we compare Stalin’s room with other places horizontally, maybe a German regiment headquarters is much more respectable than Stalin’s room. It’s dark here and the lighting is always shaking and shaking with the shelling in the distance. The feeling of darkness makes everyone inside nervous and desperate.
Stalin’s own confidant, zaitsev, escorted away a long tunnel, and the footsteps echoed in the spacious corridor. A Moscow subway with heavy infrastructure projects has formed a considerable scale at this moment. Now this palace is like a palace, not only for hiding but also for defense. It also shoulders a column of mobilizing troops and resettling the wounded.
You know, this subway is definitely a miracle of humanity in the future. It is not only spacious and bright, but also luxuriously decorated. The subway project buried deep in Moscow has shouldered the heavy burden of preventing nuclear weapons at the same time, and this huge nuclear fortification complex has finally been built to a length of 3 kilometers, which can protect 40,000 people accordingly …
Many places have even been dug to a depth of more than 5 meters. When it was built in 1935, it was definitely another new miracle of human culture. I have to admit that the construction of such a large-scale and highly targeted project in the central government has absolutely inherent advantages.
Stalin is dressed neatly in military uniform today, although he doesn’t have a Sam Browne belt, but he can still see that he has been carefully cleaned up. The Soviet leader once kept his word on this land, and he has been sent to see the emperor for everyone. He walked slowly step by step and passed by one after another with strange shapes. From time to time, guards stood at attention and saluted according to the lights and watched their party pass by.
"Comrade zaitsev … Are you sure that my voice can reach the world now?" Stalin asked as he walked forward that the fighting outside zaitsev behind him was still going on. Just a few minutes ago, zhukov reported the news of fierce fighting between the two foreign ministries’ buildings. Stalin asked zhukov to defend every place and then hung up on himself.
"Comrade Stalin, I don’t know how many radios can receive this speech, but this is what we can find at present." zaitsev followed Stalin and quickly replied after hearing Stalin’s question
The German shelling and knocking on the ground tunnel in the distance formed a strange and dull sound, which was not very stable. The lights here trembled slightly and would go out at any time. Generally, Stalin did not ask any more questions, but walked on without knowing what to think.
After a while, he didn’t know whether to ask zaitsev or ask himself, "Can zhukov troops hold the Foreign Ministry building … can he hold it?"
……
Soviet soldiers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building are attacking a hole in the light machine gun rack that was blown out by shells. German soldiers are shooting wildly at him, and then the assistant shooter helps to replace the hit disc.
"ammunition! We’re running out of ammunition here! Go to the battalion and find some more! Otherwise, the Germans will come! " The assistant shooter put a light machine gun on the last disc and shouted at the musketeers shooting behind the back window.
The Jaygalev light machine gun can be said to be the best equipped light machine gun for Soviet infantry. Compared with the German g42 machine gun, it has many fresh features. For example, this light machine gun makes a huge and unique disc bomb, which makes its appearance very recognizable.
Because 47 rounds of ammunition are used, this machine gun is superior to the zb26 machine gun produced in Czech, but its performance is lighter than that of the zb26 machine gun, and only the Soviet Red Army plays a role in making up the fire gap.
"When I went to get ammunition, I said there was no ammunition!" An infantryman pulled his bolt and fired a new bullet, then shouted at the sub-shooter of the light machine gun here. At the same time, a bullet flew in from his left window and hit a Soviet soldier next to him.
The hit man fell on his back and hit this reply. The Soviet soldier stumbled. He looked back to see who hit him on purpose, but he saw a side face full of blood at his feet.
Before he could react, a Soviet soldier with a rifle rushed into the room in the corridor behind him, and shouted at about ten friendly troops in the room, "German tanks rushed over from the side, and in a short time, we may be surrounded."
His words caused a riot. After all, everyone knows what it means to be surrounded by the enemy in urban street fighting. They will run out of ammunition and then be rushed in and beaten into a sieve by German soldiers’ submachine guns. Many people here have seen similar scenes. After all, there are no so-called recruits at this time of fighting.
"Keep shooting! What are you doing? " A Soviet officer fired a bullet in the direction of the German army with a rifle, then pulled the bolt and shouted to the hands in the room, "Do you still want to retreat? Where to retreat? It takes 2 minutes from the Kremlin car! "
It takes two minutes for the car to start … This may even count as they have no money to retreat when they start the car, and there is no possibility of retreating. Today they will all die here, becoming one of the dead people in this city.
So one soldier after another picked up their weapons again and pointed them at the already swarming German soldiers. The gun was as dense as raindrops covering every cubic meter of the city, penetrating soft skin with hot temperature and cutting hard bones.
……
"Ahem … hum … am I ready?" Stalin faced the humble microphone in front of him and asked his questions to the workers around him, which made the other side nervous for a long time before finally expressing his core meaning clearly: "You … you … can … can!"
"every Soviet who can hear me. I’m Joseph? Vissarrionovich? Stalin, I am now giving a speech to you in Moscow! " After Stalin confirmed it, he read the speech he had written for many days into the microphone.
"All people who still have Russian backbone should come out at this time and pick up your weapons against the invaders! We are a fighting nation! Have your own honor and persistence! We should fight bravely in our motherland, not at the feet of the enemy! The Soviet people are great and never surrender! Everyone should put their prejudices and unite with the Soviet Union to fight until the last moment! "
"I know that people are afraid at this time! If no one can come out first, the whole nation will be dead until it is completely slaughtered. I intend to be such a first person and I will go to Moscow! Not going anywhere! I will fight here! Fight until the whole great Russian nation resists! "
"Germany that humble head of state Sir You you win? No! You still have a long way to go before you win! This distance is far enough that you can’t finish it … There are less than 10,000 Soviet people in cold Siberia who are preparing to fight back further and further, and there are also 20,000 troops in the eastern region who will join the sacred war of freedom and war! "
"You who look deferential rebels will continue to silence? You are wrong! The soul of the Russian nation will eventually be awakened, and they will eventually get up and continue to fight Germany! In the end, the Soviet Union will be reborn like an immortal phoenix, and I will be remembered by everyone when I am reborn! "
"At that time, remembering my million-man army will trample Berlin into ruins, and your statue will be pushed down! The great Soviet people will shit on your statue, even your grave will be pried, and your body will confess your crime today! "
"Don’t keep me waiting! Brave the Soviet people! Get up now and prove your courage. Prove that we can’t be proved. We are not afraid to testify against the enemy. We dare to shed blood and sacrifice! Get up! I’ll be with you! Get up! The Soviet Union is with you! "
Stalin shouted hysterically into the microphone and waved his arms wildly at the same time. He wanted to give his own speech to inspire those who had given up. He wanted to infect those cowards who had betrayed him with his own spirit. His life speech pinned his heart on the last trace of attachment to the world. Every word represented that this man had devoted his life to him and entrusted his country with tears.
Chapter 1197 119 Not possible
Zaitsev looked at the face of the Soviet leader in front of him without a trace of expression. He didn’t know what Stalin had done. Maybe he could divide the Axis and unite. Maybe he could really encourage a few people who didn’t know how to live or die to take up arms and attack the Germans … But what’s the point of all this? Even if Germany withdraws from the whole Soviet Union, what they have left is not only ruins and bodies everywhere.
……
"bayonet! The Germans are coming! Give them some color to see see! " The first Soviet Red Army officer inserted his bayonet into the front end of his Mosinnagan rifle, and reached a hand-to-hand combat order for his soldiers. Almost every Soviet soldier ran out of bullets. Now all they have left is the bayonet and their own bodies.
"Long live the great Soviet Union!" Once again, the leading Soviet officer shouted in response to his cry. All the Soviet soldiers in the whole building shouted "Oola!"
This is a cry of victory. This is when they shouted from their hearts that the cracks in the wall were broken and there were all kinds of weapons on the other side. The German soldiers broke out with a bigger and louder cry, "Long live the Third Reich! Long live the Fuhrer! "
"hey! Victory! " Soon all kinds of shouts converged into such a lean phrase: swinging bayonets is followed by a dark muzzle, behind which are rough hands clutching steel guns, and behind which are a pair of determined eyes and a 35-type helmet with no end in sight.
"tu! Chug chug! " There is no morality in the battlefield. No one has ever stipulated that one side can attack the other side with bayonets without bullets. The Germans have never planned to carry forward any nonsense chivalry and rush into the building. At the first moment, they fired airtight bullets at Soviet soldiers with automatic weapons in their hands.
Grenade flew into the house from the window, exploded and set off smoke. Before the smoke dispersed, several assault rifles poked their guns into the window and poured a whole magazine into the house. This is not a fair contest. At this moment, it is even more tragic. The contrast between the two sides is so wide that one side is made of steel and the other side is bare-handed.
The Germans cleared house by house, and the Soviet soldiers were stopped from advancing along the stairs and corridors by weak fire from time to time, and soon occupied every room in the whole building.
On the side street, one after another, Tiger King tanks have slowly run over the ruins. Groups of grenadiers have occupied the nearby commanding heights along both sides of the street. The Germans have occupied the whole block. Recently, the tank barrels are only 2 kilometers away from the Kremlin. If there are no ruins and buildings to cover the A regiment, the tank soldiers can be angry with the Kremlin.
This is not a very long distance. If the Germans really don’t count the losses, it is possible to let the soldiers knock on Stalin’s office door in two days. The building is backed by the Soviet defense line. The first batch of soldiers rushed into the building. A German battalion was lighting a bonfire and singing and dancing. They shared the rewards and gave them canned beef and Munich beer. This sumptuous lunch cheered.
At the top of the building, a dozen grenadiers carried their weapons and pulled a huge German flag on the roof. The landmark building like this was stipulated by the German military that the national flag must be laid in the sky to identify the coordinates of the enemy and the enemy. These German soldiers were careful when they were working, because the bodies of three killed Soviet snipers were still lying a few meters away from them.
We can’t help but be cautious. These Soviet snipers are getting more and more cunning and powerful. Now the Germans hate death the most. After the war, a report showed that even the most disadvantaged Soviet snipers could maintain a terrible record of one for two from May to May 1939. This is already a very remarkable data.
Soon the cheers of the German soldiers on the fifth floor were even more surging, because several huge German flags by the windows on the fifth floor were displayed in the wind and extended to the bottom of the building. Many soldiers shook their weapons and helmets and shouted "Fuehrer arcado? Long live Rudolf ".
They are almost doomed to be the winners of this war, because they are only 2 kilometers away from the enemy’s heart. If it is a spacious plain, 2 kilometers away seems to be enough for the German armored forces to make a surprise attack. It is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to penetrate.
……
"Comrade zhukov marshal! Comrade Marshal zhukov! The communication in the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was interrupted, and the nearby positions were heard cheering by the Germans, which may have been occupied by the Germans by now. "An officer rushed into the headquarters in zhukov. It seems that something bad will happen every time he walks into this headquarters recently, and every time he walks in, he is in a hurry.
Zhukov threw a statistical table of surplus ammunition in his hand at the table and looked at the sweaty hand with a wry smile. "This didn’t surprise me … If they can stick to the night or the day, it can be called a surprise."
"But … but marshal comrade! It’s only 2 kilometers away from the Kremlin. "Although the officer knew that zhukov had almost memorized the topographic map of Moscow, he emphasized this terrible distance, which has enabled German small-caliber mortars to hit the center of Moscow. It’s really desperate to say.
"Comrade … there are many such solid buildings and complex urban ruins all the way from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building to the Kremlin … If the Germans have enough ammunition and this attack direction, I can fight there until June of next year," zhukov Nye explained. "Just two hours ago, I got a more depressing news."
He walked to the front of the map and pointed to a railway bridge in the northern part of moscow river, Moscow, and said, "A special German force ambushed our defenders, and adopted a daytime assault situation to occupy this railway bridge. Now the Germans can attack the remaining forces in konev’s hands with two wings. In less than three hours, we may be robbed of more blocks."
The situation of guarding Moscow has become more and more unfavorable. The Germans have adopted all kinds of attacks and circuitous methods to compress the Soviet defenders and make the deployment of zhukov and konev Aleksandr Vasilevsky more and more limited. The policy of step-by-step combat summarized by the Germans from the battle of St. Rudolph has completely shattered the plan of the Soviet army to fight guerrilla warfare in the city. The Germans will strictly guard against the alienation of the people and will not give the Soviets any opportunity for opportunism. However, once the two sides are forced to fight head-on, the great advantages of the Germans will be vividly reflected.
"The Germans took a railway bridge? This … What can I do? " The Soviet officer was obviously stunned by the unfavorable situation and didn’t know what to do, so he stupidly asked zhukov to get an answer from the Soviet marshal to restore some depression.
Zhukov shook his head for the first time and said something that shocked everyone in the room. "I don’t have a good idea. Now this situation is just a futile struggle."
He knew that this would be the end. When Moscow was surrounded, he knew that his only chance to make a comeback was to lead the defenders of Moscow until winter came. At that time, he might have a chance to lead his troops to break out of Moscow and retreat to Siberia for American aid to continue the war.
However, when the periphery of Moscow was gradually pulled out by the Germans, zhukov knew that his wishful thinking had completely fallen. Even if he persisted in Moscow until winter came, his troops could not break through. It is no different to expect these beaten soldiers to break through the German defense line and then go to Siberia in cold winter and hope that arcado will die of myocardial infarction in his office.
"We have no chance to rewrite the war situation after losing the peripheral defensive positions and all the strategic reserves," said zhukov, who didn’t mind hitting the officers in the house. "We don’t have any troops to fight back. Even if we make it this winter, there is no way to break through or fight back. Now we are doing our duty as a Soviet soldier and that’s all."
