Under the instigation of Comrade Vladimir and the Socialist Party, those refugees, defeated soldiers, workers and even some local people who wanted to take advantage of the situation were already filled with hatred for the Tsar and the Duma by their propaganda during this period.
ng immediately recognized the nature of this reactionary government, and then armed themselves with fanatical slogans, with love for the motherland and hatred for the reactionary government and foreign invaders, towards the south bank of the Neva River controlled by the Duma and the
Attack on Tsarist island of Kamien
"These bums should all be sent to hell, aim at them, and let them taste the taste of cannons." Nikolai from the Peter and Paul Fortress on Rabbit Island looked at the dense firelights crowded on the bridges on the other side of the Maple Neva River and said viciously.
said.
On the fort next to him, a coastal defense gun was pointed directly at the city on the north bank. Following the orders of His Majesty the Tsar, large-caliber shells flew out from the muzzle, and then exploded in the capital of the Russian Empire.
Huge balls of fire.
The rebels on the opposite side were also not to be outdone. The Socialist Workers Party had been preparing for this war for a long time, and they could not avoid the Peter and Paul Fortress no matter what. The large-caliber coastal defense artillery of this fortress controlled the entire St. Petersburg. They
If you want to attack the main city on the south bank of the Neva River, you must pass the bridges connecting the two banks, and these bridges are completely exposed to the muzzles of the fortress.
Because they controlled the largest artillery factory in Russia, workers fighting for freedom during this period cast more than a dozen 240 and even 280 mm heavy artillery pieces, as well as several Chinese-made 280 mm howitzers that were being repaired in the arsenal.
Now these have become their weapons to greet His Majesty the Tsar. As soon as the coastal defense guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress opened fire, these giant guns that had been on standby at the artillery positions in the refugee camps immediately began to fight back, and huge shells roared across the sky.
, exploded in the Neva River next to the fortress under Nicholas's dumbfounded gaze.
"Your Majesty, this is very dangerous. Please go down below and take cover immediately." The loyal Wrangel said anxiously from the side.
"No, I am the Tsar, and I want to fight with my guards." Nicholas said with a firm expression.
"Your Majesty, the rebels haven't reached here yet. It's just an artillery battle now. This is the job of the artillery. If they occupy Kamene Island, you will be in charge of the battle at that time." Wrangel said hurriedly.
Nicholas was very satisfied with this reason. He also knew that staying on the fort was just adding to the chaos. He was not a battle-experienced commander like his uncle. It would be a tragedy if a shrapnel killed him, so he asked
His soldiers, after demonstrating the tsar's bravery, followed the advice of his loyal ministers and took refuge in his hideout below the castle.
The defenders on the Peter and Paul Fortress began an artillery battle with the rebels. If the latter wanted to reach Rabbit Island, they first had to capture Kamene Island. Nicholas's 10,000 Guards were guarding this island.
The island was firmly defended with the artillery support of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
Just as the war started on their side, the rebels also launched an attack on the Duma-controlled area on the south bank of the Neva River. The Socialist Party has now armed more than 100,000 people, vowing to wipe out these reactionaries in one fell swoop. In addition to the main force attacking from the front
Attacking several bridges on the Neva River, especially the newly built Holy Trinity Bridge, an insurgent army who came from the south for reinforcements was also attacking north.
The mercenaries under the control of the Duma still persisted in fighting even though they were attacked from both sides. They had made a lot of blood debts with the Socialist Party during this period. I also knew very well that if the Socialist Party seized power, they would probably have to be pushed to the Neva River.
While shooting targets, and also hearing that China might send troops to intervene, I had a strong will to resist.
In this way, the whole of St. Petersburg was completely caught in the flames of war. Artillery shells of various calibers roared in the sky, horrific explosions occurred one after another, and the fire lit up the night sky. The ancient city was reduced to ruins piece by piece in the artillery fire, and the unlucky people hid one by one.
In the basement of his home, he held his head and cried, waiting for the judgment of fate. At this time, everyone was red-eyed. Who cared about the casualties of the people, especially on both sides of the bridges that were the main fighting areas. Both sides simply dragged the infantry artillery to them.
On the shore, across the Neva River from the bombardment, the beautiful buildings on both sides that represent the image of the city were severely damaged. The statue of Suvorov on the Champ de Mars Square was blown off its head by a shell.
The Winter Palace, which had been half destroyed in the last battle, was completely in ruins this time. Its position was really bad. The shells that bombarded the Peter and Paul Fortress fell slightly on its head. In addition, those
The level of the rebel army was almost the same. This poor palace was hit by more artillery shells than the Peter and Paul Fortress. It did not have the same protective capabilities as the latter. A 280 shell could destroy half of it.
Not only the Winter Palace, but also other buildings such as Smolny Palace and Kazan Cathedral were all affected by the war, and the entire St. Petersburg was in flames.
At the same time that the two sides in St. Petersburg officially started the war, both the Duma, Nicholas and the Socialist Party issued a call to the country, calling on the people to rise up and fight against the rebels or reactionary government. The Socialist Party also officially announced the establishment of the Russian People's Republic.
As for their program of attacking local tyrants and dividing their land, they naturally confirmed it to the Russian people again.
After both sides issued their respective calls, the whole of Russia was completely plunged into a melee. However, the vast majority of Russians supported the Socialist Party. After all, their things were more popular, and the loan agreement just signed by the Russian government also
It really hurt the hearts of the people, especially those Russian soldiers on the front line who had not yet been disbanded. They caused mutinies everywhere. The mutinous soldiers killed their commanders, organized soldier committees to appoint commanders at all levels, and then held up
Flags of the Russian People's Republic flow from everywhere to St. Petersburg.
The same number of Russian troops who were willing to fight for the empire were also organized to fight these rebel soldiers everywhere. In cities and rural areas, the armed forces of trade unions, peasant associations and capitalist landlords who were already in a quasi-war state were also included.
The last disguise was completely torn off, and all of them showed their claws and started a bloody fight.
The whole world was stunned by the chaos in Russia. The new Secretary-General of the United Nations and the last president of the United States, Wilson, who was nominated by the Confederacy, issued a statement expressing serious concern about the turbulent situation in Russia and calling on all parties to stop armed conflicts and engage in peaceful means.
Resolve differences.
Of course, what he said is pure fart to all parties in Russia who have had their brains blown out. They still resolve their differences in a peaceful way. Do we call our differences? That is called incompatibility! There is no other way out except a life-and-death struggle.
Russia's neighboring countries have also expressed concern. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, strongly condemning the rebellion of the Socialist Workers' Party, and hoped that the rebels would immediately rein in the precipice and surrender to the government, otherwise they will be killed for their unjust actions. Germany issued a statement
, is seriously concerned and hopes that the Russian government can start a dialogue with the Socialist Workers' Party to find a political solution acceptable to both parties and avoid causing more bloody casualties. The Ottoman Empire issued a statement strongly condemning the Socialist Workers' Party, and claimed that as a member of the United Nations, if Russia
The government needs it, and the Ottoman Empire is willing to provide all possible help to the Russian government. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Romania expressed serious concerns...
On the contrary, the Swedish government's actions are of great practical significance. The Swedish government announced that it would freeze the Socialist Workers' Party's deposits in all Swedish banks. However, this is of no use anymore. Germany has officially taken over Finland. If they are willing, even the Big Bertha Howitzer can be given by train.
Vladimir sent it. Anyway, at this time, the Allied armies in Germany had handed over to Germany enough weapons to arm millions of people. They had plenty of surplus combat supplies, and the Socialist Party had completely controlled the road from Finland to St. Petersburg.
railway.
"Don't worry, everyone. I still say that I will not allow any king's flag to fall, but the issue of sending troops must be approved by Congress. This may take some time, and I don't think the Socialist Party has the ability to truly threaten
Under the rule of the Tsar and your government, in the final analysis, they are just a bunch of mobs. Grand Duke Nicholas and General Makarov still have a large number of troops loyal to the Tsar and the government. As long as they open the rebel defense lines and march directly to St. Petersburg, they can easily
Put down the rebellion.
What they lack now is nothing more than supplies. I can provide this to you without the approval of Congress. It just so happens that you still have a large amount of funds in your hands, and our army has troops in Chelyabinsk, Istanbul, Baku and other places.
There is a large amount of supplies in stock, you just pay here and let them allocate it directly." Yang Feng said to Grand Duke Mikhail and Count Witte who came to ask for help.
These two people had no objection at all. In fact, if there was no other way, they did not want the military of other countries to interfere. After all, this was Russia's internal affairs, and it would be too shameful for China to send troops to help quell the rebellion.
Point, besides, St. Petersburg is tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even if China sends troops, it will be far away and cannot quench its thirst. Grand Duke Nicholas’s army is in Ufa and Makarov’s army is in Rostov. They are much closer. If
With sufficient supplies of supplies, there would be no problem in defeating the rabble of the Socialist Party. If the railways were open, it would probably take a week to reach St. Petersburg from these two places.
After all, the two of them still don't understand what the vast ocean of people's war is. At this time, the poor devils in Russia are as excited as chicken blood. How can they let these reactionary government minions run safely to strangle the great republic?
