One Thousand One Hundred Thirty-Nine Deception

? He picked up the telegram and looked at it, and then Vatutin was not interested in wasting his precious time on this kind of thing. While turning his attention to the map, he casually ordered: "Call Comrade Stalin back and tell him that our defense system is still there, and Bicha Park is still in our hands."

"General... But just now, Bicha Park has been lost just now..." the staff officer said to his chief depressedly. In fact, they knew that the news of the loss of Bicha Park was half an hour later than the real time. Attempt to regain lost defensive positions with counterattacks. However, after counterattacking and paying the price of more than 100 people killed in battle, he knew that all this was just his wishful thinking, so he reported the news that Bicha Park had changed hands, and committed suicide to complete his own road to redemption.

Bicha Park has been lost. This is an unchangeable fact. If the Soviet defenders still have the ability to regain their positions, then the German army will not be so unclear that it is only a dozen kilometers away from the Kremlin. . The Chief of Staff knew this, and of course Vatutin knew it too.

"Comrade Stalin has too many things to worry about, so don't tell him such trivial things that have nothing to do with the overall situation. Isn't it what we soldiers should do to let him live the rest of his life with peace of mind?" Wa Tutin pointed to the map, and said to his chief of staff: "Tell Comrade Stalin, we are still on the high ground in Bicha Park, and do as I say!"

The chief of staff stood where he was, obviously unwilling to carry out Vatutin's order. He hesitated for a few seconds before asking again: "But the German attack will not stop, and they may hit Moscow in a few days. He, we can't keep the matter hidden until then, can we? Comrade Stalin will know that we have deceived him sooner or later..."

"Then let him know about these things later!" Vatutin was obviously a little impatient, he waved his hand and said: "Now that he knows these things, it doesn't matter whether he doesn't know them, understand? ? When the German army approached the center of the city and he knew everything, we may not be there, or we may still be there—but these are not important, right? We have all chosen our own ending, do you still care? Is this ending sooner or later?"

"Okay! I'll just carry out your order." After standing at attention, the chief of staff put his right hand on his forehead, saluted a military salute, then turned around and walked out. His steps were a little heavy, obviously still He did not recover his lost soul from Vatutin's words.

"Dear listeners! Dear Soviet people! This is Radio Chelyabinsk, this is Radio Chelyabinsk! Now I will broadcast the latest news for you... The newly established Siberian Federal Government has passed the latest resolution, All Red Army soldiers who put down their arms and surrender have the opportunity to become a citizen of the Siberian Federation and be protected by the humanitarian protection of the Axis powers.... After the news is over, our station will play the song "The Life of Life" sung by the famous singer Miss Katerina. elegy"……"

on a radio,

Along with the hissing electric interference, there was a distant sound. The Soviet soldiers in a room resting against the wall with their rifles in their arms stared at the radio that was playing a forbidden channel with numb expressions. A few days ago, this channel repeatedly broadcast the sensational news about the establishment of the Siberian Federation. Many soldiers from Siberia were shocked and shaken by this incident.

Even though the military officers forbid everyone to listen to such channels, there are still curious people looking for opportunities to learn about various news outside the encirclement. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it will cause these soldiers who have not returned to their hometown for a long time to miss their hometown.

Obviously, the familiar hometown accent and authentic Russian made everyone feel that what was said on the radio was true. The German army also repeatedly dropped various leaflets in the Moscow city area, with "Siberian Federation Passport" painted on it. The Russian language states that as long as you hold this, you can go home safely through the German defense line.

The wonderful singing came out from the radio, the sweet voice of the singer named Katerina accompanied by the sound of electric interference, became the best enjoyment for the Soviet soldiers in the gap between the gunfire. Although everyone didn't know this woman named Katerina before this channel appeared, but now it does not prevent them from pursuing this big star in the slightest.

"The voice is really nice, and if she has a round nipple, that's the type I like even more." A nearly 50-year-old Soviet soldier holding a rifle exclaimed, "Hey! I said Big Beard, the voice is really alluring."

"Just shut up! Even if she's blind, she won't sleep with an old man like you! Idiot!" The bearded Soviet soldier beside the old man laughed and cursed, then rolled the cigarette in his hand stuffed into his mouth. He fumbled in the pocket of his jacket, but was embarrassed to find that he had no more matches.

"I think these are all deceptions carefully planned by the Germans. Soon there will be troops from other areas coming to reinforce us! We will drive away those invaders! We will!" A man looked at him with hatred The soldier staring at the radio in the distance gritted his teeth and said. It's no wonder he was so excited, because his hometown is in the so-called Siberian Federation, and the broadcast made the locals around him look at him strangely.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and several soldiers walked in with their weapons on their backs, and they also carried various daily necessities in their hands. This was the recruit that had been promised to replenish them about a week ago, and the people in the room were obviously pleasantly surprised by the sudden reinforcements.

"Hey! I said, are you reinforcements from Siberia?" The soldiers in the room asked enthusiastically. The soldiers who came later smiled politely, then nodded and admitted that they were reinforcements from Siberia and other places.

The young soldier who was just saying that what was played on the radio was a hoax, became even more excited now. He smiled and chatted about various personal affairs in Siberia with these fellow countrymen who came from afar: "Comrade! Where are you from? Norilsk? Murukta further away?"

"Uh...we, we are from Upper Yansk, Upper Yansk..." The supplementary soldier pulled by the young soldier smiled awkwardly, and then announced a more distant place name.

"Hey! Guys! He is also from Upper Yansk! My hometown is also in Upper Yansk. Which district of Upper Yansk are you from? Maybe we are still neighbors..." The young soldier heard that the other party came from the same place as him, His interest became even higher, and he shouted loudly to the comrades around him.

Hearing his words, more Soviet soldiers cheered, and the expressions of these new soldiers became even more embarrassed. They kept silent, just chose a place far away to sit down, and then closed their eyes to rest. The supplementary soldier held back by the young soldier did not answer the last question, and left the room with random excuses. He shook his head with the officer at the door, and never returned to the room.

"It won't take long to fool the soldiers. They will soon find out the problem. Siberia and places farther away have no plans to reinforce us. In fact, our connection with other cities was completely cut off more than ten days ago." At the door, an officer complained softly to the officer in front of him: "It won't take long to hide the fact that some troops from outside the city were transferred back to the city to pretend to be reinforcements."

"Comrade Stalin just issued an instruction in the headquarters. Zhukov has recaptured Marino. We are counterattacking and encircling the German army that has entered the city of Moscow..." The leading officer looked at his subordinates and said in a strange tone He told a story that seemed like a myth: "He said that within ten days, General Vatutin would launch a counterattack and wipe out the German troops in the city."

He paused for a moment, then changed into an extremely helpless tone, and continued to ask his subordinates: "Tell me, what else can we do in this situation? Within ten days, we will defeat the German army." Our leaders can believe in everything, and are willing to believe it... let alone these soldiers?"

Stalin was encouraged by Zhukov's counterattack that was not executed at all, or deceived by Vatutin and his almost crazy subordinates around him. He believes that the tide of battle has begun to turn, and he feels that he can win this war. So within a day, he issued various inexplicable combat orders, as if the Soviet Union was conducting a full-scale counterattack.

He ordered Vasilevsky to counterattack to the northwest, defeating the German Army Group E and the Finnish Army under the command of General Liszt, and retaking Yaroslavl; At least 15 German divisions".

These orders were carried out perfectly on the map, Zhukov is leading his troops to encircle the German army from the flanks, and Konev has even reached Chekhov. Stalin believed that he would be able to relieve the crisis in Moscow in a short time. On the map of the headquarters, he even began to fantasize that he would regain control of the Far East and Siberia.

Unfortunately, on the commanding height of Bicha Park, which is more than ten kilometers away from him, a German swastika red flag is flying.
