"Comrade Stalin, if this is the case, as long as the Germans attack with all their strength, Moscow will definitely fall!" Zhukov said.
Stalin said: "Fortunately, things are still turning around. German Head of State Hitler has ordered Army Group Center to attack Moscow after occupying Smolensk. As long as we hold Smolensk, we will gain breathing time and send reinforcements from the rear."
The troops are mobilized."
After hearing Stalin's words, Zhukov and Chuikov breathed a sigh of relief.
The Germans did not take the opportunity to attack Moscow with all their strength. This was definitely a major mistake. As a result, there was still room for action!
"It seems that whether we can hold Smolensk is the key to whether we can hold Moscow. Even if the defenders of Smolensk can hold on for one more month, we will have time to mobilize the newly formed troops."
Chuikov said.
"Report, call from Smolensk!" An officer came in and handed a telegram to Stalin.
Stalin read the telegram and said expressionlessly: "Smolensk's frontal defense line has been breached by the Germans, and the special forces led by Vasily are engaged in street fighting with the Germans."
Zhukov and Chuikov were stunned again. The Germans advanced too fast. They broke through the Smolensk defense line in such a short time. Such a powerful assault capability was really terrifying.
Although Vasily's special forces are powerful, how long can they withstand such a fierce German offensive? Is Moscow really going to be occupied by the Germans?
Stalin stood up, walked to the window, and stared out the window. After a while, he turned around and said: "We must defend Smolensk. Whether we can hold back the Germans depends on this battle. Vasily's
The special forces are probably very weak."
"But Comrade Chairman, Vasily's special forces are the only special forces in our army." Chuikov said.
"It would be great if Comrade Xu Rui was here." Stalin seemed to be saying to himself.
In the Soviet-Finnish War, Xu Rui's outstanding performance deeply impressed Stalin. It was under Xu Rui's command that the Soviet Union won the Soviet-Finnish War.
At this moment, Xu Rui's name suddenly appeared in Stalin's mind. He couldn't help but think that if Xu Rui was allowed to command this war, the war situation would be greatly improved.
When this idea appeared in Stalin's mind, Stalin's heart, which was stronger than a rock, trembled.
"Xu Rui does have outstanding military talents, but now that China is at war with the Japanese Far Eastern Front, he may not be able to distract himself for a while," Zhukov said.
"According to the latest intelligence, Xu Rui has severely damaged the Japanese Far East Front and established the Changbai Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area."
"But as far as I know, Xu Rui is just a regiment commander. How can a regiment severely inflict heavy damage on the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Japanese Far East Front?" Cuikov said in disbelief.
"There is nothing that Xu Rui can't do." Zhukov said out loud.
Zhukov was originally stationed in Siberia and knew Xu Rui quite well, so he said this.
"Well, Comrade Chuikov, you should call the Eighth Route Army headquarters in my name now and ask them to second Xu Rui to the Soviet Union to participate in our army's command operations." Stalin turned around, his eyes full of hope.
"Yes!" Chuikov responded. Although he did not believe that Xu Rui could turn the tide, he also felt that Xu Rui performed well during the Soviet-Finnish war. If he was brought to the Soviet Union to assist in commanding the war, what would happen to the Soviet Union?
The Soviet Union will be of great benefit. Thinking of this, Chuikov strode outside.
…
Wujiashan Fortress, Xu Rui is in a good mood these days. He has nothing to do but tease the king, train the strong man, and spend time with his wife. With the end of the Wujiashan battle, there should not be any major wars in a short period of time.
So Xu Rui, apart from focusing on some training, spent the rest of his time at home, coaxing his wife to have sex on the bed, and lived a wonderful life.
In the bedroom, Xu Rui was loving Jiangnan.
Xu Rui held Jiang Nan in his arms and kissed her gently on the forehead. The fatigue of the battlefield faded away. Xu Rui felt that this moment was so beautiful and rare.
Jiang Nan said: "Old Xu, I miss Hongguo'er and Pistachio. I wonder how they are doing in Yan'an, whether they are eating well and whether they are sick."
Xu Rui said, "Don't worry, my mother will take care of them. Nothing will happen to them."
"We feel sorry for these children, but in order to win, some sacrifices are necessary." Xu Rui continued.
Jiang Nan said: "Well, I know the truth, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
Xu Rui said: "Anyway, there has been no fighting recently. Otherwise, in a few days, those of us who have family members in Yan'an will take a Soviet plane to Yan'an to see the children."
"Well, Lao Xu, be sure to take me with you when the time comes. I must see the red fruits and pistachios."
"Okay." Xu Rui nodded.
"Wow..." Jiang Nan suddenly vomited in disgust.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Rui asked.
Jiang Nan finished vomiting, turned around, gave Xu Rui a rollicking look, and said, "What an idiot, you didn't even know you were going to be a father again."
"Really?" Xu Rui hugged Jiang Nan happily.
"Be careful, don't hurt our child."
"Well, we will definitely not hurt our son." Xu Rui carefully put Jiang Nan down.
"We haven't given birth yet, how did you know it was a son?"
"We already have two daughters, this third child must be a son." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be a chauvinist." Jiang Nan was a little unhappy.
In fact, for Xu Rui, he doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl, but since he has two daughters, he just wants to have a boy, which can be regarded as having both children.
Just when Xu Rui was about to explain, Jiang Nan smiled and said, "I was joking with you."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Yes, whether they are boys or girls, they are all our babies. We will definitely love them, protect them, and prevent them from being harmed at all. We have been in Northeast China for so long and we haven't had a break yet."
, I will take you out to play tomorrow."
"You said this, but I didn't force you." Jiang Nan smiled slightly after hearing this, and slowly snuggled into Xu Rui's arms.
…
The sun is new every day. On winter mornings, the sun looks weak and weak. Although it is the coldest season of the year and it is freezing in the northeast, Xu Rui is still in a good mood.
At this time, Xu Rui brought Jiangnan to the river.
"Honey, do you want to eat fish? Let me replenish your body." Xu Rui asked.
Jiangnan said: "It's such a cold day and there's ice on the river. How can we fish?"
"Haha, look at me!"
Xu Rui took out an iron drill and used force to poke a big hole in the ice, revealing the water below.
"Snapped!"
The fish under the ice were fighting to jump out for breath. A palm-sized crucian carp jumped up and landed on the ice. After flopping twice, it was frozen solid.
"Wow, I really hit it!" Jiangnan became excited. It was the first time for Jiangnan, who lives in the south, to see this fishing method in the Northeast, and he felt very novel.
At this time, the king on the side ran over, took the fish in his mouth, ran to the side, held the fish with his paws, and started eating.
"Your Majesty, you guy, I can find you wherever good things happen." Xu Rui glared at the King, turned around and went to catch fish again.
After a while, Xu Rui caught several fish. Xu Rui said: "Wife, tonight, I will make fish for you. Don't look at the small size of the fish. This is a cold-water fish. It can't grow long in a year. It tastes like meat."
It’s very delicious.”
"Really? Then I must try it." Jiang Nan said with a smile.
Jiang Nan was wearing a cotton-padded jacket but with a red scarf. His smile was like a fiery red wave blowing in the wind, which made him look particularly touching.
"It's great. We have fish to eat tonight. I haven't eaten fish for a long time. I remember when I was in the south, the fish in the river near my home were very fat..." Jiang Nan's eyes were a little blurry, and she thought of her own
hometown.
"Oh, stop catching fish. It's all mixed up. It's so cold." Jiang Nan said heartbrokenly.
"Honey, I think you are becoming more and more like a person."
"Who?" Jiang Nan asked.
"Aunt Wang from Yan'an."
"How do I resemble her?" Jiang Nan said in surprise.
"Mother-in-law, she looks exactly like Aunt Wang..." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"Fuck you, you look like Aunt Wang!" Jiang Nan was so angry that he chased Xu Rui. Xu Rui ran in front, laughing happily while running. Jiang Nan also laughed, grabbed the snow and threw it behind, while Wang on the side
When he saw it, he rushed over and kept jumping up and down in front of Xu Rui.
At this moment, Xu Rui felt that everything was so perfect and harmonious. If he could, he would rather time stand still and let all this become eternity.
"Captain! The superior is calling!" Zhuo Ligetu shouted from a distance and ran towards Xu Rui.
Xu Rui frowned. After the Battle of Wujiashan, the congratulatory messages from all parties had arrived. The commendation order from Yan'an had also arrived. The aftermath of the Battle of Wujiashan had passed. Why did the superiors call again? It seems,
Something big must have happened again.
"Honey, I'm going to take a look, you go back first," Xu Rui said.
"Yes." Jiang Nan nodded sensibly. She knew that every time her superiors called, something big was going to happen. What happened this time?
At Wujiashan Fortress, Wang Husheng held a telegram from his superior in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Old Wang, what are the instructions from above?" Xu Rui asked.
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, the above said that you should go to Moscow immediately with Wolf Fang to participate in the Soviet Union's Patriotic War."
"What? Go to the Soviet Union?" Xu Rui frowned.
"I heard that the Soviets gave the Eighth Route Army the equipment of five infantry divisions and one artillery division, just to exchange for you to go to the Soviet Union. Old Xu, you are very proud." Wang Husheng looked helpless.
"With the equipment of five infantry divisions and one artillery division, the Soviets really think highly of me, Xu Rui. It seems that the Soviet Union is really in trouble this time."
