10210 Times Repayment

"Comrade General! Comrade General!" A Soviet intelligence officer rushed into General Vatutin's office in a hurry. A piece of information was handed over to General Vatutin who was busy preparing for the military parade.

"What's the matter? You're in a panic... Could it be that the Germans are calling?" Vatutin frowned, and then scolded. But he didn't really mean to blame the other party, he just said a word and put down the document he was preparing.

"This morning, there are three more German reconnaissance planes than yesterday! When the sun just rose, there was a German reconnaissance plane, and it left after several rounds of high-altitude reconnaissance!" The intelligence officer who rushed into the office The officer hurriedly said: "Now, they have at least 5 planes flying over Moscow at high altitude, so the director asked me to come over quickly and report the situation!"

Vatutin was taken aback for a moment, and then thought about it carefully. He knew that the matter of the military parade might have been leaked, and it wasn't leaked a little. The German army knows that the Soviet Union will hold a grand military parade today, and it seems to be preparing to intervene. This is not a good thing for the Soviet Union, at least for Stalin, this is bad news.

So the commander of the Moscow city defense quickly grabbed the phone in front of him and called Comrade Stalin, the leader who was arranging his clothes. Obviously, Comrade Stalin on the other side of the phone is also busy, and there are quite a few things to prepare on his side. At least he needs to dye his gray hair black again.

"Great leader, Comrade Stalin, I have just received news from the Air Defense Forces that in the mornings, the Germans dispatched many sorties and carried out unusual reconnaissance activities on Moscow - I speculate that it may be Our opponents, the Germans, knew about our parade."

"How did the Germans know? This matter is very confidential and should not have been discovered by the German army!" On the other side of the phone, Stalin's tone was obviously very unpleasant. He was preparing to inspect his troops defending Moscow, but got Such a fatal news. After all, Moscow is now within the range of many heavy artillery. In such an unsafe situation, reviewing its own troops is an extremely dangerous move.

"Because there is such a review plan, most of the front-line officers have been notified... the great leader, Comrade Stalin, I think that among the officers who may be reported as killed in action recently, some were actually captured by the German army." Tujing thought for a while, and then shifted the responsibility to those senior officers who might be judged dead.

Stalin thought about it, and felt that this statement was still acceptable. After all, it is impossible to keep this kind of thing completely confidential, especially in the last few days when many frontline officers are invited to participate in the military parade. The secrecy of this military parade is not as strict as the first few days.

But he still cursed loudly. After all, his entire plan might be postponed or even canceled because of this information leak: "Those bastards who defected to the enemy! They are all complete idiots! Stupid pig! Rokosovs So what if Ki surrendered? Didn’t he end up secretly shot by those people in a concentration camp on the outskirts of Berlin?”

Rokossovsky's death,

Of course, the Allied forces would not let it go easily. They also made a big fuss about this senior general based on their normal associations. As for the dead Rokossovsky, even if the Germans admit that he committed suicide, Stalin will never admit it here-after all, Rokossovsky should have died in Stalingrad according to his own promise , instead of lingering on to Berlin before dying in a daze.

Vatutin was silent on the phone. He had to wait for Stalin to vent his anger before he could get the answer he wanted. After so many days of cooperation in recent days, he has become accustomed to this way of communication, so he is still used to not talking, and he is used to letting Stalin yell at the sinners who betrayed the Soviet Union on the phone.

In short, as the war went on and the situation became more and more unfavorable, the number of Stalin's curses gradually increased. Now this situation is only one step away from despair, so the number of times Stalin cursed people has also reached the point where he opened his mouth anytime and anywhere.

Finally, after the silence on Stalin's phone was restored, Vatutin spoke slowly and cautiously, and asked softly: "So, the great leader, Comrade Stalin, should the military parade that was originally planned to be held today be canceled or continue? ?”

After Stalin was accustomed to yelling, he was also full of thoughts about whether to continue the military parade or be forced to cancel it. He thought about it carefully, and really didn't know if the air defense siren sounded suddenly during the military parade, should he and the troops who were reviewing disperse to the air defense facilities to hide, or should continue the military parade.

So he could only open his mouth and asked Vatutin for his opinion: "Comrade General, what is your opinion? Should we give up this military parade plan, or insist on continuing to complete it?"

"I suggest...it's better to postpone until tomorrow...the great leader, Comrade Stalin, after all, we want to show the whole world this military parade. If the German bombs fall, it will be bad for us in the end." Tujing didn't think much at all, and immediately answered the question. After all, this issue is not a major life-and-death decision such as mobilizing troops, or a trivial matter such as delaying a certain activity. General Vatutin is still willing to show his ingenuity.

So Stalin nodded and agreed with Vatutin's suggestion. He also knew that it would be embarrassing to postpone the parade for a day, but it was much better than being disturbed by the Germans: "I support your opinion! Then, according to your idea, let the parade troops withdraw and stand by Go to the original barracks and wait for orders!"

"Yes! The great leader, Comrade Stalin!" Vatutin put down the phone in his hand and picked it up again: "Get me to the headquarters of the military parade... I am Vatutin! Today's military parade is officially cancelled! You return to the barracks immediately! Yes! This is the order of the great leader, Comrade Stalin! I will send you the order file later! Carry it out immediately!"

After ordering this document, Vatutin breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at a huge clock placed on one side of the wall. On it, it was three minutes to eight o'clock. After a wry smile, he shook his head again and called his secretary: "Strengthen the air defense alert! Maybe the Germans..."

Before he could finish giving his order, the stern air defense siren was sounded. When he was stunned, an officer of the air defense force rushed into his office, and then loudly reported to him what had just happened: "Comrade General! Radar! The radar station found a large number of planes! Not ours, It's German!"

He was a little incoherent, but compared with his complexion, these were nothing. Because he had just heard a surprising adjective, which was used to describe the German aircraft that invaded Moscow's airspace this time - "I have never seen so many!"

Yes, I have never seen so many. In the operating room of the radar station built with the help of the Americans, several Soviet radar soldiers looked at the messy and beating tremor lines on the screen. At first, they thought their machines were malfunctioning. Woolen cloth. It wasn't until the visual observation post on the front line called that they knew that their equipment was not broken, but that the German army had dispatched too many planes.

The fw-190d fighter jets were hung with as many small bombs as possible, and these bombs were required to attack as many building targets in Moscow as possible; then there were more than 300 Stukas and Stuka 2 attack aircraft, These planes were dispatched across the board, ordered to suppress the fragile Moscow air defense firepower; more of them were a full 500 -217 bombers. Explosive bomb.

The main reason why only a small number of incendiary bombs were carried was because the Air Force intelligence department analyzed that Moscow used a large number of masonry structures to build houses because of the function of keeping out the cold, and direct delivery of incendiary bombs may not be effective. So the Air Force decided to use high-explosive bombs to explore the way first, and by the way, try to see how resistant Moscow's buildings are.

Who would have thought that the German army was so extravagant that it used 200 fighter jets as attack planes with bombs mounted on it, dispatched more than 1,100 sorties of various types of planes in one go, and carried out the largest bombing attack on Moscow since the beginning of the battle.

At the same time, at exactly 8 o'clock, the 210mm caliber howitzers placed behind the German positions took the lead in roaring, and a total of 30 towed cannons of this caliber threw their heavy shells 25 kilometers away . These artillery are used to make up for the firepower density of the railway artillery. Although they may not be able to hit the city center of Moscow, they can hit the urban area and give the Soviet Union some deterrent effects.

Vatutin was shocked by the news he received. He had just settled down in his underground air defense headquarters when he heard the news that the Germans had bombed the western city. shelling.

The phone was in a mess, and all the phones seemed to be jingling. Vatutin and his secretary had to deal with these questioning calls separately, and almost every one of them was a big person who could not be ignored. There are mayors and government officials, and they are all confirming one thing: where did the German shelling come from.

Stalin's phone was answered by Vatutin, and this phone was the means of communication connecting the headquarters with Stalin's air defense bunker. Whenever the phone rings, Vatutin must answer: "The great leader, Comrade Stalin! I am Vatutin!"

"Damn it! Some people say that the explosions in some urban areas did not come from the German bombing, but from the German shelling! What is going on? How many kilometers is the enemy away from Moscow? Their 150 howitzers have already hit Moscow! "Stalin was furious over the phone. Bombing and shelling are really two completely different things for Moscow.

Vatutin is not a fool either. Of course he knows that the closest German troops to Moscow City are only 18 kilometers away. But he also knew that it was not the 150mm caliber howitzers with a very limited range that bombarded the city of Moscow, at least it should be the 210mm caliber heavy artillery.

So he quickly comforted Stalin and said: "Great Comrade Leader, I assure you that those artillery pieces are not the German 150mm caliber towed artillery! Their range is definitely not that far... I suspect that the German army attacked Stalingrad At that time, the 210mm heavy artillery used."

"I don't care what weapons are available to reach Moscow! Now the enemy is shelling our capital! General Vatutin! Find a way for me!" Stalin relaxed a little when he heard that he was not deceived. But being attacked by artillery really affects people's mood, at least it will affect the mood of all senior officials in Moscow-the enemy is really close enough to them!

The German army did not intend to let go of Moscow. Although the buildings were very strong, the hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs dropped by the German bombers all over the sky still played their due role. A large number of civilian houses were hit and collapsed, exploding Splashing rubble covered the streets and alleys... There were huge craters everywhere, and Moscow finally experienced the biggest catastrophe since the beginning of the war.

Then the 280mm large-caliber shells fired by the even more terrifying K-type railway guns fell near the Red Square. One of these huge shells directly penetrated a section of the towering Kremlin spire. The building collapsed, and then a huge explosion of shells spread nearby, and all the windows were peeled and shattered in the shock.

The Soviet soldiers maintaining law and order in the urban area leaned against the bunkers piled with sandbags at the entrance of the air-raid shelter, looked up at the sky above their heads, and watched the graceful German planes fly through the sky covered by buildings, flying a group of One bomb after another was thrown at the city they swore to defend.

"Everything the Germans did to the Soviet Union! I will give back to the Germans ten times, no, a hundred times! I will let that Akado squat in the basement! Waiting for my troops to cut off his head!" Stalin In the underground bunker, listening to the dense explosions above his head and feeling the vibration of all objects around him, he cursed loudly.
