Chapter 1271 Evil has evil retribution
On January 1, large and small newspapers such as "Pravda" and "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published shocking news: heavy rain on the front line, and the breach of the Istria reservoir.Pravda at 10 am.When the Chinese army stormed our positions near Volokramsko and the Istria Reservoir on the 9th, because our left wing resisted strongly based on the Istria Reservoir, the enemy saw that the line of defense was difficult to break through, so they used heavy bombers and artillery Violent bombing, a section of the Istria Reservoir dam was bombed, causing a breach, flooding, and the situation was serious.After the levee on the south bank of the Istria Reservoir broke through the stormy enemy, the flood flooded from the Istria River and Kaluga to the southwest defense line. The flood has caused a large number of casualties and property losses, but such floods cannot wash away The belief in the triumph of our great Soviet people.We will unite and fight the Chinese dictator to the last!
On the afternoon of January 1th, the ITAR-TASS news agency sent another message: China sent more than 10 planes, and in the early morning of January 30th, they flew to the Istria Highlands on the south bank of the Istria Reservoir and bombed them wantonly, dropping a total of 1 bombs. Ten bombs destroyed several villages.The bombing was expanded at the breach of the Istria Reservoir, until the water became more and more violent, and it was impossible to save it.

On the same day, Molotov of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee held a large-scale press conference. In this reception, he reported that after the Chinese heavy bombers bombed the Istria embankment, he said: "Historically various The floods in China were all caused by natural disasters, but the violent Chinese used the sharp weapon of civilization and manpower to breach the Istria Reservoir in an attempt to submerge countless Red Army soldiers and residents in the war zone on the front line. Reaching the pinnacle is indeed the public enemy of mankind all over the world!"

A reporter from the Associated Press asked: "Although the Chinese side has not yet drawn a conclusion, some Chinese officials claim that the breach was a hoax concocted by the Soviet Union itself. What's your comment, sir?"

"This is really shameless!" Molotov yelled: "The Chinese are used to deceiving and propagating. Not only do they not repent, but they spit out blood and transfer the crime of destroying embankments to us. It is extremely indignant! This kind of framing , it is not worth our argument.”

"Is Russia going to block the breached dike?" asked an Agence France-Presse reporter.

"According to front-line news, due to the heavy rain in the upper reaches, the water flow in the Istria Reservoir has skyrocketed, and enemy planes have expanded their bombing at the breach, so that the breach is getting bigger and bigger, and the water is getting stronger, so it is impossible to save it for a while." Molotov The tone became low, "The residents in our war zone are flooded day by day, homeless, struggling on the verge of death, how can we let them go? We will block the breach as soon as possible at any cost, so as to reduce the suffering of the people in the war zone. At this moment, Soldiers on the front lines are working on disaster relief."

A reporter from the "Washington Post" asked: "It is reported that tens of thousands of disaster victims have gathered near the Istria Reservoir. They are in a very difficult situation, without food and water. Faced with such a situation, has your country provided any relief? measures?"

Molotov replied: "While the Supreme Council of the Soviets and the Disaster Relief Committee are giving first aid, more powerful plans are being formulated, and actions may be taken within the next few days."

"When the Chinese dig the dam, the biggest victims should be the local residents. However, some foreign military experts commented that due to the flood, the Dragon Army will also suffer serious losses. It can be said that the Soviet Union was a blessing in disguise. I don't know the Foreign Affairs Committee Molotov What do you think?" The reporter from Hong Kong's "South China Daily" asked the question.

Molotov picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea: "There is an old saying in your country, that is, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. To the enemy, the crime deserves what it deserves. To me, it is the help of God."

"I have a small request. I hope to conduct an on-site interview in Istria, so as to further expose the atrocities of the Chinese to the world." Once the British reporter proposed, all reporters agreed.

"That can be considered." Molotov said thoughtfully, "It's just that Chinese planes often go to Istria to bomb and shoot recently. I think we should wait for the current situation to calm down before going there to ensure everyone's safety."

On the afternoon of January 1, it was less than half an hour after the press conference held by Molotov.Pu Yin is staying at his headquarters, which is a temporary building built with half-track armored personnel carriers and communication vehicles plus tents on a slope next to the highway from Mtsensk to Podolsk.

At this time, he is taking a nap.Since he has been busy directing battles these days, he has very little time to rest.So now that everything was going well, he quickly took the time to take a rest.At this time, he was sleeping very soundly.

Suddenly, I felt my body being shaken heavily, "Who? What happened?"

Pu Yin sat up and glanced around vigilantly, and soon he found his adjutant Zhang Xuesi standing in front of him respectfully.

"is there anything?"

"Something happened. I just received the information, and the chief of staff hopes that you will rush there as soon as possible!"

"Understood!" Pu Yin replied absent-mindedly, then stretched his waist, "Prepare me a cup of coffee." Having said this, he stood up, picked up his military uniform and put it on his body, opened the door and walked out.

When he came to the headquarters, it was already in chaos, with loud shouts, curses and orders mixed together.When Pu Yin pushed the door and entered, all the voices stopped.

"What's going on? What happened?" Pu Yin smiled as he looked at the people present.In his view, the main force of the entire Soviet army has been defeated, and it will take some time for their reserve forces to assemble. During this time, he can completely rush there.Of course, there may be a small setback in this process, but this setback is nothing to Long Jun.

At this moment, Zhang Xuesi came over with a coffee, and Pu Yin picked up the coffee: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Our advancing troops encountered a little obstacle on the way!" A staff officer replied in a low voice.

"Oh? Did you encounter resistance from the Soviet army, or did you encounter guerrillas? Or the logistical supplies couldn't keep up?"

"No!" the staff officer whispered: "We just received a communication from the forward troops, and they all said that the road ahead was washed away by the flood!"

"Flood?" Pu Yin froze for a moment, then shook his head lightly: "Don't worry so much. It's the rainy season in the Soviet Union at this time, and those dikes and dams were affected by the war and couldn't be rested, so some collapses occurred. At most, Let the ground get muddy. As soon as the weather is clear, you'll be fine."

"But the flood was very violent. In addition, according to what we learned from listening to the Soviet Russian radio station, it seems that a large reservoir on the other side was blown up!" The staff officer replied cautiously.

"What reservoir!" Hearing what the other party said, Pu Yin's heart tightened suddenly.

"It seems to be the Istria reservoir!"

"Ah!" There was only one thing in his mind, and that was that the Soviets must be crazy.Although before that, the possibility of the Soviet Union completely destroying the Istria Reservoir was specifically discussed.certainly.At that time, Pu Yin believed that the Soviets would not take the initiative to open the floodgates.Because if that were the case, it would be a disaster for the Soviet Union.But now, what he never imagined was that Stalin was really so ruthless and his determination was so strong. In order to prevent the dragon army from entering, he actually dared to open the gate and release the water.Thinking of this, Pu Yin broke into a cold sweat.

At this moment, a staff officer came to him quickly: "Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Feng wants to talk to you." Having said that, he handed the microphone to Pu Yin.

"I'm Pu Yin."

"I want to ask you, have your troops reached the Istria Reservoir?" Feng Xianghua asked on the phone.

"No?" Pu Yin replied subconsciously, "Our troops haven't arrived there yet, we encountered a little trouble there, the Soviets"

"Did your artillery fire in the direction of Istria?" Before Pu Yin could finish speaking, Feng Xianghua continued to ask.

"Of course not!" Pu Yin immediately asked back: "Our troops haven't arrived there yet, how could my artillery fire there? Feng Gong, the roads leading to the Istria region have all been washed away by the flood now. Yes. My forward troops are soaking in the water now. Think about how they could reach Istria? How could the artillery be erected? Duke Feng, are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding you! You should know what happened, right?"

"I know, this is what I'm about to report to you. I just got the news from the vanguard that our vanguard was hit by a flood. By listening to the news of the Soviet radio station, it seems that the Istria Reservoir Bombed!" After a slight pause for a few seconds, he continued: "I think Stalin is crazy!"

"Stalin is not crazy!" Feng Xianghua said loudly on the phone: "Now you may not know the situation behind it. The Soviets have now pushed all the things that blew up the dam on us, saying that we are attacking to maximize the damage. That's why they blew up the dam in a frenzy." Feng Xianghua said the words "frenzied" very emphatically.

"What? We blew it up?" Pu Yin asked after a long while, "The Soviets really said that?"

"Can this be false?" Feng Xianghua said angrily in another part of the phone: "Those Soviets not only declared so on the radio, but also held a press conference. The reporter said that we Chinese destroyed the reservoir and caused this disaster. The emperor called me directly and asked me if I sent troops to destroy the dam, so I will call you now. You know, if If we really did it, then the matter will be passive. I want to ask you, are you really sure that your men have not moved the dam?"
