The first thousand and twenty-four chapters Stalin's death
As more and more truths are revealed, the mysterious halo surrounding Stalin is gradually fading.
Muscovites began to discover that the leader they had supported endlessly and were willing to protect with their lives was actually not that perfect, and even had too much blood and cruelty in him.
And the party they worked for, the Bolshevik Party, was not that pure at all. There were too many dirty and dirty things in this party.
So, for whom are Muscovites bleeding their lives?
Half of Moscow now is in ruins. This is the result of holding on for such a long time. If it only takes a few days to destroy a city, then rebuilding a city will cost a huge amount.
Chinese soldiers and tanks can be seen everywhere on the streets, which shows that the city is completely in the hands of the Chinese.
Now there is only one last thing left that causes headaches for senior Chinese and Japanese generals: Where is Stalin?
On March 30, Wu Fu, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese-Russian Army, entered Moscow. He set up his temporary headquarters in the Kremlin. He did not have time to appreciate the scenery here, but immediately asked people to
Take Georgi.
Konstantinovich.
Zhukov was brought in front of him, and perhaps he could get the whereabouts of Stalin from his mouth.
"Mr. Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov." Wu Peifu spoke in a very polite tone: "I would like to express my gratitude to you for your heroic and outstanding performance in the defense of Moscow."
"Thank you, Mr. Commander-in-Chief." Zhukov was also very polite.
The war is over. What responsibilities Zhukov should bear in this war and what crimes he will be sentenced to. That is a matter for the government and has nothing to do with Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu still respected Zhukov. Being able to lead a hopeless and unsupported city to resist the powerful squadron for such a long time was respectable enough from this point of view alone.
"I have to ask you a question." Wu Peifu looked directly at Zhukov: "Your General Secretary Stalin, do you know the whereabouts of him?"
Zhukov remained silent.
Wu Peifu smiled: "Of course you don't have to answer. I won't use any torture methods to force you to answer, but I still hope you can answer. Mr. Zhukov, you must know one thing first. A special court is being established.
, this is a special court organized by China and Russia. Although we are not willing to kill too many people, those in the White Guards want to kill as many people as possible, especially senior red elements like you.
Leader one."
"Sir, actually I don't care much about personal life and death." Zhukov said calmly: "From the first day I joined the Bolsheviks, I have been ready to sacrifice. I will devote my life to the cause I love.
Everything, I think is glorious and sacred
Wu Peifu had already heard about the stubbornness of these Bolsheviks, and he was not angry at all: "Of course, I know that you are very brave and will not be afraid of death and bloodshed. But, have you ever considered for your compatriots? Can I ask
You revealed some information that you were not supposed to know. In the order I received, I must capture Stalin before the end of April. An order is an order. You and I are both soldiers and we should understand this. But speaking truthfully
, I don’t have any information about Stalin’s whereabouts now, so I can only launch a large-scale manhunt across the city, arrest all suspicious elements, and burn all suspicious targets that I think may be a threat. Mr. Zhukov, this will shed a lot of blood.
Yes, Moscow has just experienced the devastation of the war, and I personally do not want it to suffer another terrible destruction."
Zhukov remained silent.
He knew that the Chinese were not there to threaten him and were telling the truth.
The Chinese will do whatever it takes to catch Stalin, no matter what means they take. After all, this is not their city.
Stalin, or the people of Moscow? Zhukov was caught in a dilemma.
"Actually, whether you say it or not, we will catch Stalin. It's just a matter of time." Wu Peifu said easily: "Millions of troops have failed. Do you think that just with what Stalin has around him now?"
Can those people protect his safety? No, this is really ridiculous, he has nowhere to go!"
Although Zhukov was reluctant, he had to admit this.
After being silent for a long time, Zhukov finally said: "Can you guarantee that if you capture Comrade Stalin, you will not cause further harm to Moscow?"
"I promise." Wu Peifu replied seriously.
Zhukov's expression was a little painful, and his voice was not very loud: "I'm actually not sure. But southwest of Moscow, there is an abandoned collective farm. Before the defense of Moscow, I received a special order,
It was secretly transformed into a fortress without anyone else knowing, and a large amount of supplies were transported there, enough to feed hundreds of people for two months."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhukov." Wu Peifu stood up: "In addition to fulfilling my promise to you, and in the future special court, I will secretly report your assistance to us to the special court, which can reduce
Judgment against you and ensuring your reputation to the greatest extent.”
Reputation? Does he still have any reputation now? Zhukov smiled bitterly in his heart.
Zhukov's judgment was not wrong. Stalin, Shaposhnikov and some of the main leaders of Soviet Russia were hidden in the abandoned but renovated collective farm southwest of Moscow.
It’s unimaginable that these great figures who once dominated the world can now only hide here like mice.
Of course, the defense here is still guaranteed to a certain extent. There are secret bunkers, artillery, and even two tanks.
From the outside, you can't see anything in this desolate place.
After escaping from the Kremlin, Stalin's face had been very gloomy. No one dared to disturb the General Secretary for fear of causing his rage.
"Is there no news yet about Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov?" Sitting in the dark underground room, Stalin suddenly asked a question.
"No, Comrade General Secretary." Yenov said desperately: "Since the last telegram contact, we have lost contact with Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov. In the list of prisoners published by the Chinese
Here, our people have not discovered his name. Perhaps, he has already sacrificed his life for our cause."
"I hope so, I hope so." Stalin murmured: "He is a martyr if he is sacrificed, but if he becomes a prisoner, the consequences will be unimaginable. Only he knows best here."
Yenov felt a chill in his heart.
Georgi.
Konstantinovich.
In order to defend Moscow and Stalin, Zhukov led the heroic Red Army soldiers to fight until the last minute. But now Stalin is not thinking about his safety. Instead, he is thinking about whether Zhukov will leak the situation here.
Yenov began to believe that no matter who was captured here, Stalin would not shed a single tear.
Shaposhnikov hurriedly walked in. He didn't know what happened here before: "Comrade General Secretary, we just sent out a secret post outside and found some people wandering outside the collective farm. Their whereabouts are mysterious. It is very possible that
The Chinese have realized there is something hidden here."
"Let comrades prepare to fight." Stalin picked up his pipe.
On March 31, 1941, due to the commander-in-chief of the Moscow Defense War, Georgi.
Konstantinovich.
With Zhukov's cooperation, China finally succeeded in identifying Stalin's hiding place.
The Chinese were not in a hurry to attack, but were fully prepared. About a brigade of troops was mobilized to the collective farm, along with several artillery pieces and eight tanks.
The order issued from above is to capture him alive as much as possible. If there is really no other way, he can also be killed. But there is only one purpose. Stalin must not be allowed to escape. His existence itself is a threat.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of the arrest, Wu Peifu asked Cao Kun to take charge personally.
Cao Kun was also not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he sent a major officer to get in touch with the Russians, hoping that the Russians could get out of the bunker and surrender on their own initiative, although Cao Kun himself knew that this was unrealistic!
Sure enough, the request for surrender was rejected.
"Then, let's start the attack." Cao Kun finally gave this order.
The attack finally began. The Chinese ** team first used artillery to bombard the numerous bunkers. Although several were destroyed, the effect was not too obvious.
Zhukov personally designed and supervised the construction of this huge fortification. It was designed very rationally and scientifically and could effectively withstand enemy artillery attacks.
Cao Kun began to use tanks to attack, but the effect was still not that significant. The tanks basically played no role in the offense. On the contrary, the opponent's two tanks gave the defenders sufficient support.
As a last resort, Cao Kun could only throw his infantry into the attack in advance. You can fully imagine how difficult the attack would be.
The people who defended this place were all Stalin's Guardsmen, his ace elite force. Even when the defense battle in Moscow was at its most brutal stage, not a single one of these soldiers was put on the battlefield.
They received only one request: to defend the safety of the Supreme Leader to the death!
The sound of gunfire sounded again in Moscow, and the fighting here was extremely fierce. From the attack on March 31 to April 2, the Chinese did not make much progress for three full days.
They were able to take down the entire Moscow, but the stubborn underground fortifications seemed a little helpless.
The person who directly commanded the Russians to fight was Shaposhnikov. In fact, he now knew very well that although he had temporarily resisted the Chinese attack, it would only be a matter of time before the place fell. But Shaposhnikov
It doesn't matter, as long as he is alive and as long as he can continue to fight, he must protect the commander-in-chief's safety.
On the afternoon of April 2, the Chinese stopped their attack, and the noisy battlefield suddenly became dead quiet.
A large number of people wearing strange clothes appeared on the battlefield, and then a large number of gas masks were distributed to the Chinese soldiers. Now, the Chinese were forced to take a last resort.
That's a poison gas attack.
The Chinese have given up on the possibility of capturing Stalin alive.
The poison gas attack began that night and was quite effective. The solid underground fortifications were not prepared for the poison gas attack, and a large number of unsuspecting Russians fell to the poison gas.
Huge cracks finally appeared in the long-standing defense line, and a large number of Chinese soldiers wearing gas masks began to rush into the Lower Fortress.
Stalin knew the final moment had arrived.
At 10 o'clock that night, he received bad news. Shaposhnikov, who was commanding the troops and fighting bravely with the Chinese who rushed into the underground fortress under the serious threat of poison gas, was hit by a bullet and his life was in danger.
When Shaposhnikov was sent to Stalin, he was already dying. He looked at his respected leader with difficulty and said with difficulty: "Comrade General Secretary, I'm sorry, I have tried my best."
"Boris, Boris." Stalin held his hand and murmured: "You are the most heroic Red Army soldier, you are the staunchest Bolshevik. Thank you for everything you have done for us."
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shaposhnikov's mouth: "Comrade General Secretary, the enemy has brutally used poison gas. Now, this huge underground fortress will become our tomb. Please be the last
Ready dad."
Stalin nodded silently.
At 11 o'clock in the night on April 2, 1941, Boris.
Mihajlovic.
Shaposhnikov passed away from this world due to serious injuries.
Another person Stalin trusted left him.
Now, the only trustworthy person beside him is Yenov. Once it is true, no matter how capable Yenov is, he will not be able to withstand the Chinese attack¨
When dawn came on April 3, the Chinese team finally broke into the core of the underground fortress!
"Yenov, find me a pistol." Stalin suddenly said as the gunshots outside could be heard clearly.
Yenov nodded silently, and after a while, a pistol was sent to Stalin. Then Yenov turned around and walked out. The current general secretary did not want anyone to disturb him.
Stalin sat there silently, his mind completely blank.
It's over, everything is really over.
The gunfire outside became more and more intense, and the shouts of the Chinese could even be heard. Stalin smiled bitterly and stuffed the gun into his mouth.
After a while, a dull gunshot came from this gloomy room.
Stalin, formerly known as Joseph.
Vissarionovich.
Dzhugashvili, leader of Soviet Russia. His father was a shoemaker from a peasant background, and his mother was the daughter of a serf.
In 1888, Stalin entered Gori Church Primary School and was promoted to Tbilisi Orthodox Middle School in 1894. In 1889, he became a member of the Social Democratic Labor Party. In 1899, he was expelled from the school for engaging in revolutionary activities.
In 1918, the Russian Civil War broke out. Stalin and Lev.
Trotsky and others were elected to the five-member presidium formed by Lenin. In May of the same year, he was sent to Tsaritsyn to collect grain.
Voroshilov, Semyon.
With the support of Budyonny and others, he strengthened his influence in the army. During this period, Stalin repeatedly defied the resolutions of Trotsky, then chairman of the Military Revolutionary Committee, and executed many officers in the Red Army who had served in the tsarist era.
As well as "counterrevolutionaries". In order to forcefully requisition food, he also used the method of burning villages to prevent the food supply from being robbed by bandits.
In the end, the Red Army won the Battle of Tsaritsyn, and he also established a political cooperative relationship with the soldiers of the First Cavalry Army. In order to commemorate his achievements, Tsaritsyn was renamed Stalingrad. In early 1919, Stalin was transferred
Returning to Moscow, in May he was sent to the western front near Petrograd, where he severely executed deserters.
In mid-December 1922, Lenin suffered another stroke. The Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party tasked Stalin with supervising and implementing the system prescribed by doctors for Lenin. Late at night on the 22nd, Lenin's health deteriorated further. His right arm and leg were paralyzed, but he had a clear mind and clear thinking.
Dictated a batch of letters to Dang at the upcoming Congress. The letters were specifically about his comrades or successors. They talked about three groups of people in total, namely Stalin and Trotsky, Zinoviev and Kamenev.
, Bukharin and Pytakov both talked about their advantages and pointed out their shortcomings, but they did not blame anyone.
Regarding Stalin, the letter said: "Comrade Stalin has become general secretary and has unlimited power. I am not sure whether he can always use this power very carefully." The letter said: "Stalin is too rough. This shortcoming is
Among us, it is completely tolerable in the interactions between our Communists, but it becomes intolerable in the position of General Secretary. Therefore, I suggest that comrades carefully think of a way to remove Stalin from this position and appoint him
Another person takes this position, and this person is better than Comrade Stalin in all other aspects: more patient, more humble, more polite, more caring for comrades, less willful, etc."
On January 4, 1923, Lenin made a specific supplement to the letter of December 24, recommending that Stalin be removed from the post of General Secretary. Stalin resigned in accordance with the recommendations of Lenin's will.
However, Kamenev, Zinoviev and others disagreed. They believed that Lenin's suggestion was inappropriate and unanimously elected Stalin as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
In the end, Stalin successfully grasped the highest power in Soviet Russia.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on April 3, 1941, Stalin committed suicide in the Moscow underground fortress in despair.
With Stalin's suicide, the war in Russia was truly over!
