When Stalin woke up again, it was already the next morning. After the chaos of last night, the gun of the German team was only a little more than 1 km away from the outer wall of the Moscow Kremlin. .
Because of the capture of several nearby buildings, the Germans did not stop the attack at night as usual, but uncharacteristically mobilized special forces to carry out targeted assaults on several important solid buildings around. The Soviet soldiers were caught off guard and had no decent resistance at all, so they lost control of those important buildings.
Now, the only thing that can stop the Germans from advancing is the Soviet National Library, where the Soviet defenders have deployed a whole group of truly elite, ammunition is still sufficient and has a high fighting spirit. Although this regiment is still made up of two original main regiments, compared with the other Soviet forces of dozens of troops, it is already very different.
At least this regiment has several anti-tank guns, deployed on the wings of the street, and even two Stalin tanks to protect these anti-tank guns, and there are a lot more machine guns. It is a rare complete system in Moscow city. Lack of troops.
At dawn, the Germans launched an offensive against the library. Because it was only a routine test, they did not launch a strong attack regardless of losses. The battle lasted for 30 minutes, the Germans were eventually repelled by the Soviet Red Army, and the defense lines of both sides temporarily stabilized.
"Comrade Stalin! I must solemnly tell you that just this morning, the Germans were already attacking our army positions near the Soviet National Library ..." Zaitsev was standing in front of Stalin's bed in the same way, withered. Apparently, during the time when Stalin was in a coma, the guard captain stayed at Stalin's side.
He didn't close his eyes all night, because various combat situations were reported directly here. After all, this side is already closer to the front line than Zhukov's headquarters. Obviously the situation is not very optimistic. German soldiers are getting closer and closer to where they are. As long as they climb out of the underground bunker, they can hear the dense sound of machine gun fire outside the collapsed palace wall of the Kremlin.
Although Zaitsev had imagined countless times what he looked like in his last days, he did not guess that he could fall to such a degree. Since Watujing sacrificed on the position, he has seen Stalin approve a thick stack of officers ’death lists every day. Some of these people had been wounded until they died recently, and some were killed on the defensive position with the last batch of troops under command.
As the defense line of the Soviet Union became more and more compressed by the Germans, the reserve force finally dried up, and the number of officers' deaths began to rise linearly. Many people know that they can't retreat. They can only choose to fall on the road of the charge or die in the cold trenches. Not everyone has a good choice. At least these officers who followed Stalin to the end, There is no way to choose a decent surrender.
"Comrade Zaitsev ... General Konev called, he hoped to shrink the line of defense and establish a new line of defense between Savilevsky railway station and the Pravda ..." He glanced at the bed, just opened Stalin opened his eyes, and the officer who came to ask his attention turned to Zaitsev. It is more unrealistic to expect Stalin to issue tactical orders than to ask him to play strategy. At least in this case, asking the sober Zaitsev is more in line with normal people's reactions.
"Let him retreat along Tverskaya Street! There is nothing more to defend there! Order him to mobilize a regiment ... No, 1,000 soldiers, reinforce the National Library Line of Defense! If there is another breakthrough there, we will only You can use the outer wall of the Kremlin as a line of defense! "Zaitsev glanced at Stalin, pale and weak, and quickly explained the task with a quick voice, and then waved his hand to let the officer retreat.
Then he looked at Stalin who was struggling to do it, put his arm around the other's arm with his hands, and finally put a soft pillow on Stalin, before standing by the bed and waiting for Stalin's order.
"I'm hungry, Comrade Zaitsev ... ordered the kitchen to prepare food." Stalin didn't seem to hear that the German army had hit the National Library. It seemed that the war outside had nothing to do with him. Itev said: "How long have I been in a coma? Before opening my eyes, I seemed to be struggling in the dark for a century ..."
"Okay! Great leader Comrade Stalin!" Zaitsev nodded, then walked to the door, called the waiter, and ordered Stalin to wake up and want to eat.
Stalin leaned on the soft pillow and waited for Zaitsev to turn around and walked to his bed before continuing to speak, asking about the fighting outside: "The German has hit the National Library? I have been there , Remember the entire row of bookshelves inside ... pity ... knowledge is a treasure of mankind, and it should not be affected by the war. If we rebuild there, many of the treasured books may not be found, which is the loss of human civilization ,What a pity."
Zaitsev's words made him cry and laugh, and now the war is full of fire in Moscow, and every building seems to have left the mark of war. Not to mention a small library, even the symbol of the entire Soviet Union, the Kremlin, can only be seen in its original form now.
Soon, Zaitsev had time to take a break, because Stalin ’s lunch had been delivered, and he used a knife and fork to slowly cut beef and vegetables and a very delicate-looking one at his desk. Omelette, because his mouth was plugged, Zaitsev had to help Stalin to mobilize two more defensive forces and give up some positions.
Unexpectedly, Stalin raised his hand to signal Zaitsev to give these orders. He was very interested in eating while listening to his men's assignments. Finally, in the gap between eating, he also issued a heartfelt praise: "Zha Comrade Yitsev, you have a gift for command! You can even command an army unit to fight! "
After complimenting Zaitsev and making the other party make a big red face, he whimpered again: "I was defeated, and I have lost everything here ... I really want to see me take me to this step today The head of Germany. "
Speaking of this, Stalin looked at Zaitsev and then asked the other person curiously: "You said, if I send him a telegram and invite him to have a dinner here, will he come? ? "
Will the head of the Third Reich named Akado come to the ruins of Moscow and have a dinner in the enemy camp? Zaitsev felt that the other party might not do such a stupid thing. If the head of state would do such a crazy thing in order to show his own temperament or kingly style, it is sure that the other party will not come to today, leading Germany to such a glory. Won.
So Zaitsev shook his head regretfully and replied to Stalin: "I don't think he will come here to have dinner with you. The Germans are afraid of death, and their head of state is no exception."
"Hahaha ..." Stalin laughed heartily. After eating a lot, the Soviet leader now recovered some spirits. He pointed Zaitsev with a fork and said with great interest: "You I can really make me happy ... The German head of state is a coward, haha, this is really possible. We are high weighted and do n’t take our own lives to take risks. Strictly speaking, we are all cowards, right? "
Knowing that there was no answer at all in Zaitsev, Stalin did not intend to listen to Zaitsev. He lowered the fork in his hand, then gently pushed the plate outwards, picked up the glass and drank a little inside The clear water suddenly fell lonely in an instant. Although he has just maintained a relaxed and comfortable state just now, and even has a mood to start a joke that he hasn't talked about for a year, this does not mean that he is deeply saddened at the moment.
"Zaitsev ... Thank you for walking with me to the end." Stalin looked at the leftovers on the plate and leaned back on the back of his chair, looking at Zaitsev, who was there opposite the table. . Instead of calling him the title of comrade, he directly called the other party's name.
Without waiting for Zaitsev to speak, he continued to stare at the trace of Lenin ’s portrait on the wall and said, "I must give an explanation to the Soviet people, and I must give an explanation to my mentor ... so I am selfish Let you accompany me until now. A few days ago, I talked to my personal doctor and told him a lot about the end of life. He is a very good doctor and gave me a lot of pertinent suggestions ... "
"Comrade Stalin ..." Zaitsev owed his body, trying to persuade Stalin to give up this terrible idea. But the other party stretched out his arm to prevent him from continuing to speak. He had to bow and keep the half-standing position.
"As the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, I, Stalin. To you, Comrade Zaitsev, give the last order." Stalin looked at the terrified Zaitsev's eyes and said the last words of his life. One of the commands: "Please hold your position to the last soldier, and place my body properly, burn it down, bury it, whatever you want, in short ... do n’t let the Germans get or use my body. You ... can do Are you there? "
