At this time, Xu Rui also heard the news of the Soviet army's defeat on the battlefield. Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, as soon as you left the command position, the Soviet army lost the battle. It seems that the Soviets still cannot do without.
If you open your car, you will be reused again."
Xu Rui said: "Reuse? This time we are afraid we will pack up and get out."
Leng Tiefeng said: "How is this possible?"
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, just watch. If my estimate is not bad, the news will come soon."
While the two were talking, Kuznetsov walked into the room where Xu Rui was.
Kuznetsov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I just got a call from Comrade Zhukov."
"Yeah." Xu Rui responded.
Kuznetsov continued: "Comrade Zhukov said that he hopes you and Langya will fly to Moscow immediately to discuss important matters with you."
Xu Rui asked: "Is there nothing else?"
Kuznetsov sighed and said: "Comrade Zhukov also said on the phone that Comrade Stalin has made a decision to let you and Wolf Ya leave the Soviet Union."
"What?" Leng Tiefeng became anxious when he heard this and said, "Why do you want to drive us away after losing the battle?"
Kuznetsov was silent, and after a while he said: "There are some things that cannot be decided by people at my level. Comrade Xu Rui, I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Xu Rui said: "Kuznetsov, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. Since the Soviets want us to leave, we will not stay here. We will return to Moscow and then return to China."
Kuznetsov sighed and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I have prepared the plane for you and Langya. No matter what, we will always be friends personally. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
Xu Rui said: "Kuznetsov, don't be so sad, we will definitely meet again in the future."
After Kuznetsov left, Leng Tiefeng asked: "Old Xu, how did you know that Stalin wanted to drive us away?"
Xu Rui said: "It's good that Stalin won this battle. If he loses, he will definitely make a scapegoat. We are not Soviets, and we are the best candidates for scapegoats. If we are allowed to be scapegoats, it will not affect the Soviet Union."
Military spirit and morale.”
When Leng Tiefeng heard this, he scolded Stalin for being unfaithful.
Xu Rui said: "Veterans, in the eyes of politicians, have no credibility at all, only interests."
Leng Tiefeng immediately summoned Lang Ya and told him the news that Stalin had asked Lang Ya to return to the country. Lang Ya suddenly exploded.
When calling the donkey, he said: "Damn it, I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay. It just so happens that I don't want to fight for the Soviets anymore, so it would be better to go back!"
Yu Bican also said: "The Soviets have no good intentions and want us to take the blame for their defeat. Even if they beg me to stay, I will never stay here for one more minute!"
Xu Rui said: "Shut up, everyone, what are you arguing about? We have stayed in the Soviet Union for such a long time, and the Soviets are driving us away. We don't want anything more. Isn't it better for us to go back to fight the Japanese than to fight the Germans here?"
When Xu Rui said this, no one dared to speak anymore.
At that moment, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng left the military camp, got on the plane, and flew towards Moscow.
The plane flew in the air for several hours and finally arrived in Moscow. As soon as he got off the plane, Xu Rui was surprised when he saw Zhukov personally greeting him at the airport.
Xu Rui came to Zhukov and said: "Comrade Zhukov, why are you here?"
Zhukov sighed and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you have been wronged."
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "It's okay for me to take the blame. I just wanted to go home and have a look. This is better."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, don't be angry. I understand you. In this matter, it is indeed our fault."
Xu Rui didn't say anything, but Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, I will argue with reason and keep you and Lang Ya. The Soviet-German war really needs you."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Zhukov, thank you for your trust, but I have fought enough of the Soviet-German war. The Wolf Fangs have been out for so long and they all miss home. It's time for us to go home."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you can go home, but before you go back, you have to do me a favor."
"Comrade Zhukov, we are finally friends. Let me hear what you have to say."
Zhukov said: "Although Comrade Stalin asked you to leave, he did not specify a date. I want you to stay and help me fight this last battle."
"Okay, if you insist, I can consider it because of our personal friendship." Xu Rui said.
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, the arms I promised you have been transported to Yan'an. Based on this alone, I think it is worth your while to help me."
Xu Rui said: "Okay, I, Xu Rui, am not a hypocritical person. Comrade Zhukov, I will help you once, but it can only be the last time, otherwise Comrade Stalin will also be dissatisfied with you."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, the situation on the Soviet battlefield is very serious now. The Germans have launched counterattacks against the Soviet Red Army from the south, north, and center. Our army is in a difficult situation on all fronts. Now, the German army
Smolensk has been occupied, and it is eyeing Moscow. The German attack on Moscow must be repelled."
Xu Rui said: "Although the German army is divided into three groups, the real threat is only on the southern front."
"Southern route?" Zhukov couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what Xu Rui meant.
Xu Rui analyzed: "The German army on the northern front has a total of more than 20 divisions and more than 300,000 people. After the previous war, although a large number of the Red Army was wiped out, the German army on the northern front itself also consumed a huge amount. What can be used now
According to my estimate, the rear strength is only more than 200,000 people. Before the German reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for them to return to their original strength and strength. Although Vasilevs's troops suffered heavy losses, they are still
There are more than 200,000 people, and there is insufficient offense and more than enough defense. Therefore, as long as General Vasilevsky on the northern front sticks to the Tver line, he will definitely be able to block the German attack."
"What about the middle? There are more than one million German troops in the middle. The most elite Skeleton and Viking divisions of the German army are in the middle. Their fronts are pointed directly at Moscow. I think this is the biggest threat to the Soviet Union."
Xu Rui said: "My point of view is different. Although there are more than one million German troops in the middle, the number of the Soviet Red Army is greater than that of the German army. Moreover, most of the heavy weapons of the Soviet Red Army are equipped in the middle. Therefore, the Soviet troops in the middle are
The combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is not inferior to the Germans at all. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Germans to capture Moscow from Smolensk. On the contrary, it is the southern front. Now Marshal Timoshenko and the German army
Stalingrad is being fought on the front line. If Stalingrad is lost, the German army can march straight in and attack Moscow. At that time, the German army will attack Moscow from two sides, and Moscow will really be in danger."
After listening to Xu Rui's words, Zhukov took a breath of cold air. If it was true as Xu Rui said, then Moscow was really in danger. Thinking of this, Zhukov could not help but break out a thin cold sweat on his forehead.
"Comrade Xu Rui, how to resolve this crisis?"
Xu Rui said: "It is necessary to dispatch a large number of troops into the Stalingrad battlefield on the southern front to support Marshal Timoshenko and ensure that Stalingrad is not lost. At the same time, it will attract a large number of German troops to reinforce Stalingrad. The Soviet army can use Stalingrad to
Le, fight for every inch of ground with the German army, strive to consume the effective strength of the German army, and then mobilize troops to launch a counterattack, eliminate the main force of the German army on the southern front, and eliminate the threat of the German army on the southern front."
"What about the center line? I'm afraid the Germans won't be so honest and let us mobilize our troops," Zhukov said.
Xu Rui said: "Therefore, the Soviet army must fight a battle near Moscow to inflict pain on the Germans so that they dare not show their heads. Only in this way can they safely deploy troops from the center line."
"A fight near Moscow?"
"Yes, the most powerful ones in Germany are the Totenkopf and Viking divisions. The Totenkopf is the most powerful unit of the SS. Although the Viking division is a mercenary, it is extremely loyal to Germany and has strong combat effectiveness. The equipment of these two divisions is
They are the best in the German army. If we can severely damage one of these two divisions, we can definitely scare the Germans and make them afraid to attack in a short period of time."
"That makes sense, Comrade Xu Rui, can you help me direct this battle?" Zhukov said.
Xu Rui said: "If you need it, I can help you, but this is the last time I will help you, and then I will follow Comrade Stalin's order to return home."
"Comrade Xu Rui, I owe you a favor."
Xu Rui said: "I am really honored that Comrade Zhukov owes me a favor."
Xu Rui knew that in fact, Zhukov invited him to command this battle without telling Stalin. If Stalin found out, he would definitely reprimand Zhukov. If this battle was defeated again, not only himself, but also Zhukov would be punished by Stalin.
, but Xu Rui still agreed.
The real reason is not that Xu Rui said it was to make Zhukov owe him a favor. Xu Rui knew that if Zhukov lost this battle, the Soviet army would be broken through in the middle and Moscow would fall. By then, the entire Soviet Union
All are in danger of national subjugation. This is not in the interest of the world's anti-fascist front, nor is it in the interest of China. Therefore, Xu Rui must help the Soviet Union repel the German fascists for the last time and stabilize all Soviet fronts.
, and only in this way can the Soviet army maintain a long-term stalemate with the German army and avoid being destroyed by Germany.
Only when the Soviet Union withstands Germany's attack can the war situation be stable. Otherwise, once the Soviet Union collapses, a large number of German soldiers are likely to arrive in China. By then, the Germans and the Japanese will join forces to deal with China. Then China's
