The ground anti-aircraft troops sent a terrible wail to their command post.
"The Germans used what must have been a rocket bomb and they blew up the zoo with just one bomb and it was all over!"
"Our anti-aircraft guns are completely useless. They are not bombers. They are like meteorites. When they fall, they explode violently!"
"I must order my people to lower the height of the air defense balloon. Only in this way can we prevent the enemy's weapons from falling into the city by coincidence."
"We should add eight anti-aircraft machine gun positions. Only with dense and high-speed barrages can this terrible rocket be destroyed."
…
Stalin, who was hiding deep underground, was in a panic. His radio horn was always on. Amidst the noisy background roar, he heard the lamentations of countless officers and soldiers in the air defense positions.
All the officers and soldiers were in different positions, but they mentioned the same situation - Moscow was being attacked by a rocket-type weapon.
Stalin was sweating profusely, and others were also at a loss. They hoped that the pacing leader could come up with countermeasures.
"It's a rocket! Damn it, it's a rocket! The Germans are starting to attack us with that new weapon!" Stalin suddenly stopped.
"Is it the legendary V1 rocket that attacked Britain?" NKVD Beria asked cautiously.
"Yes! Only this damn weapon can attack us."
"Ah! You are such a wise leader."
Beria's flattery only made Stalin even more angry: "Bah! We must immediately come up with countermeasures, we must develop our own ultra-long-range rockets! Beria, General Berekov's defense issues
It’s your Ministry of Internal Affairs who is in charge. What’s his address and phone number? Call him immediately!”
"All right."
The city was undergoing a special air raid, and any corner of Moscow was likely to be attacked. Beria could not help but worry that if Belekov was directly killed, the Soviet Union would suffer great losses.
Beria made a call. The telephone connection station was still operating underground. He never expected that the operator actually connected the phone number of Berekov's house.
A security guard answered the call, but he didn't know that that person was Beria, the top leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and his most senior boss.
The guards did their duty well and they did not leave the house and flee, so they answered the call and said calmly: "The general and his wife, accompanied by Second Lieutenant Grishenko, walked into the city along Komsomol Avenue."
Upon hearing this, Beria's face suddenly turned pale, and he pretended to be calm and explained the situation to Stalin.
"Oh! It's really too bad." Stalin was afraid of being slapped in the face. "I hope that man has found the air-raid shelter."
Stalin almost gave up, and Beria made a new suggestion: "Now, we have direct contact with most subway stations. Maybe we can order the personnel at each station to search among all the refugees."
"What? How do we contact you?"
"Through the phone."
"Telephone contact? Won't the phone line be blown up?"
"That's impossible. The subway has its own phone network and we can contact them."
"Okay, let's do it! Hopefully a miracle will happen."
Beria believed that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not lie. Those guards claimed that Berekov was walking along Komsomolskaya Street, which must be the case.
Underground on Komsomolskaya Street is the first subway line built in Moscow. There are multiple subway stations on the street.
Since Berekov has experienced hundreds of battles and is surrounded by guards who are familiar with the city of Moscow, would he just wait on the ground for the German bombing? Absolutely not!
Beria immediately went to the communications room of the bunker and ordered the correspondents to send emergency telegrams to all subway stations along Komsomolskaya Avenue.
"You must find Lieutenant General Peter Ivanovich Belikov. He is a man with a Mongolian face. He has no beard and may wear glasses. If you find this man, report it immediately."
The order has been issued, causing a chain reaction in subway stations across the city.
Although the Moscow Metro has been completely suspended, all subway employees have transformed into maintenance employees of huge air-raid shelters. The stationmaster of each station shoulders the heavy responsibility. Once an air raid occurs, he will be responsible for commanding and settling all refugees who enter.
At this moment, Yang Mingzhi could only huddle up with his arms around his wife. Everyone was seeking refuge in the same way. Everyone sat calmly on both sides of the tunnel, with their heads raised and praying in their hearts.
Many people dared not look at the flickering lights, and many others were trembling under the control of fear.
There is a violent storm on the ground!
For Moscow citizens who stayed behind in the city, this was not the first time they had been hit by an air raid. In the past few attacks, people had gone underground. The number of attacks increased, and everyone was forced to practice escaping very quickly.
This attack was completely different. The shock caused by the bomb was so great that the concrete vaulted roof of the tunnel began to shatter into pieces.
"The Germans are using large bombs, it must be like this. I hope the soldiers on the ground will not suffer huge casualties." A middle-aged man wearing coarse overalls said nervously.
"Ivan, think about your home. One bomb is enough to destroy a house. If your home is gone, what will you do?" Another person, who was obviously a middle-aged co-worker, said pessimistically.
"I don't have much at home. My wife died early and my son is still serving on the front line. I have nothing to worry about. Damn the Germans, if my home is gone, I will continue to wait for distribution. If there is no existing house for the time being, I will
Living in the factory. In this way, I can produce bullets 4 hours a day, and the enemy who caused me losses must pay the price."
"You...you are really open-minded..."
"Then what else can I do? Hold my head and cry? If I hadn't been old, I would have signed up to join the army."
Two middle-aged men were sitting not far from Yang Mingzhi, and Yang Mingzhi heard their conversation clearly.
Truly optimistic people are rare, and most of the refugees are most worried about their homes. Those who fled into the subway station almost all evacuated at the same time with their families. The time to escape was too short, and only a few people carried
Carrying a basket, or putting a very small amount of belongings into a sack, they fled underground.
Youdao means that a broken family is worth a lot of money. The system that the Soviet people live in makes the majority of civilians have very little personal property. In the Russian Federation in later generations, people's most valuable wealth at that time was probably the real estate of a house.
Most of the sources are from the state's allocated housing during the Soviet period.
Currently, all housing is state-owned property, and people only have the right to use it. So people really don't feel too sorry when their houses are bombed. They just hope that the bombing will not destroy the pots and pans in the house that cannot be taken away.
, it is best that even the little surplus food stored should be safe and sound.
Yang Mingzhi is indifferent to all this. What he has experienced is a beautiful and peaceful life in the 21st century. It is an era of rampant consumerism and materialistic desires. Countless scientists are even worried that mankind has begun to fall into hedonism and that human development has already begun.
Entering the bottleneck.
Now in 194, I have got a nice house, a big soft bed, and enough food every day. But is this called happiness? No! It is just meeting the most basic needs of life.
It doesn't matter if I lose it like this, as long as I live, I can create, and what I lost can come back.
However, regarding Yang Tao, she heard the mutterings of those people, and her heart felt like a drum beating wildly.
She verbally claimed that as long as she and her husband were safe, everything would be fine. After all, she could never give up the paradise-like life she had only had for a few days.
Isn't it paradise? The house is spacious and comfortable, with a separate toilet and family bathroom. There is no well, but the water is magical tap water. There are magical radiators on the walls. There are cooks and servants to take care of the house. The family has status and status.
There is a huge sum of money.
All the identity, wealth, and status were obtained by defeating the German invaders. Now, those invaders may destroy everything.
Suddenly, a gliding V1 rocket fell into the Moskva River at a 40-degree angle. It passed through the gap in the camouflage canvas on the river, hit the water hard, and exploded violently.
The rising water column was forty meters high, and the strong shock wave cut off nearly a hundred riverside guardrail pillars, and even tore apart the floating raft with a radius of one hundred meters, along with the camouflage canvas.
The scary thing is not just that, the shock wave gives strong pressure to the river water, and this pressure is directly transmitted to the river bed through the water as a medium!
During the Tsarist Russia, the Moskva River became stinky due to the crazy discharge of sewage from nearby factories. The Soviet Union reorganized the river before the war, and even excavated half a meter of silt in the section of the river flowing through the city.
The river bed becomes deeper, which is equivalent to the "shield" given to the subway tunnel being no longer fifty meters thick!
In an instant, the tunnel experienced the most severe vibrations during the bombing, and the women who took refuge began to wail loudly, as if the sky was about to collapse.
A large number of small concrete fragments fell from the top of the dome. Although no one was smoking, the entire tunnel was still filled with smoke.
With the help of flickering lights, Yang Mingzhi felt that the world was falling into smoke.
He immediately noticed something: "What's going on? Is the ventilation system closed? Lieutenant, please explain."
"Me? I don't know!"
"Hell, if the ventilation was bad, we would suffocate."
Yang Mingzhi's unintentional complaint was heard by many people, and the people who were originally afraid now turned into outright fear.
Yang Tao still held on to her husband, her eyes already full of tears: "Brother, if the enemy continues to bomb like this, will this tunnel collapse? Will we die?"
"No, absolutely not! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
Yang Mingzhi fortified his position, but panic still occurred. Everyone's mysophobia was awakened, and many people simply stood up and walked towards the subway station. The reason for this was that they believed that the subway station was a wider space where the oxygen was stable.
It is sufficient. Besides, it is a larger underground cavitation. Looking at the tunnel, people stay here pessimistically, as if they were put into a coffin and buried alive.
More than 20 people took the lead, and hundreds of others were eager to try.
The second lieutenant saw people's commotion. He didn't know it happened yet, but everyone was taking action. He followed the general and still sat there. Could it be...
The second lieutenant did not dare to think too much. He asked Yang Mingzhi anxiously: "General, how about we leave too?"
"No! Sit still for me."
"But if you look at other people, everyone is moving."
"Listen, Grishenko, I am your general, executing our orders. Do you know the herd effect? Look at those people, they are all sheep, I'm sure, the shepherd dogs who quickly maintain order,
Will drive them all back to the cave."
Grischenko had doubts, but the facts turned out as the commander expected. People who tried to escape from the "cemetery" of the tunnel were driven back by the police and soldiers. In the process, a conflict broke out between citizens and soldiers.
The soldiers' task was to maintain order. They were ordered not to let a single civilian enter the underground hall of the subway station. In order to complete the task, they did not hesitate to hit people with their rifle butts.
Some people still managed to break free, until they saw the large amount of gravel on the ground of the subway station, and suddenly understood everything, and obediently got back into the tunnel.
The reason for the failure of the ventilation system is very simple. Just above the Gorky Cultural Square, as many as three V1 rockets attacked the place. I am afraid that a total of two tons of TNT were destroyed. The shock wave was like a tomahawk, cutting off half of the entrance.
, the fragments of the iron gate were blown into the ground along with a large amount of gravel.
Most of the metal pipes used for ventilation are twisted and deformed, and a large amount of stones are mixed in. Although all the blowers are still driven by gasoline generators, the ventilation efficiency can only be maintained at 0%.
During the destruction process, five soldiers were hit in the face by gravel. Thanks to their helmets, their heads were not broken. Their torsos were hit, and some even suffered fractures.
The underground temporary hospital that has been established for a long time at the site is responsible for the treatment of the injured. Unfortunately, only the simplest treatment can be given to patients with fractures.
A soldier died because his broken ribs were inserted into his heart. His comrades were filled with righteous indignation, but when faced with a large number of soldiers trying to dig out the safest tunnel, they suddenly became furious.
"You guys, the safest place has been given to you, but we are guarding the dangerous hall. You all go back!"
People will come back, are those who have witnessed the terrible scene adding to the claims, the entrance to the subway station was brutally attacked, and only the narrow tunnel can avoid harm at this moment.
Is anyone lucky? No. The reason why many people want to escape is because they think the tunnel is a "grave". They never thought that running to the large subway station hall is just heading to a new "mass grave". And the subway station hall,
It will really be a death blow.
No one knew what was happening on the ground, and despair began to spread.
At this scene, many women were wailing, and their cries caused more people to sob.
Star Tao was infected by the desperate atmosphere and wanted to get into her husband's coat. She made up her mind and said: "Brother, we want to die together. In the next life, I...I will still be your wife."
"You!" Yang Mingzhi was speechless for a moment. He was silent for more than ten seconds before holding his wife's chin, "It's useless to say anything! Look at those people, they are all ordinary and cowardly people. You and I have never seen any big scenes.
?After working as a doctor for a few months, you have forgotten that you are a soldier? Where is your dream? We have to continue to save money to support China's future construction, how can you think of dying?"
After that, he pinched his wife's ears hard again, just like a parent teaching a disobedient child: "Do you understand?"
