Liang Bozefu was in a bad mood. For a man with only the rank of colonel, he became the highest commander of a unit of more than 40,000 people in a hurry. This span was too big for him. So big that even he could not believe it himself at the beginning, he became the commander of the Moscow Military Region and the commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion troops.

It was not until his old friend Rudnev repeatedly urged him to take office and take action that he came back to his senses. I was already the commander-in-chief. If the rebellion of the Bolsheviks could be quelled, it would be possible to be promoted to brigade general, major general, lieutenant general, and even marshal in the future.

A bright future filled Liang Bozefu with motivation. He devoted all his energy to the army, and in a very short time, the 40,000 rabies played a powerful role. He controlled the main traffic routes and bridges in Moscow, and drove the Soviets of the Soviets and the Red Guards of the Workers to a very small number of strongholds.

Liang Bozev was very proud of such achievements. Of course, this was not because of his superb commanding skills, but because of the inaction of Nogen and some senior executives of the Bolsheviks of Moscow. They fantasized about solving problems through negotiations, and did not want to use force or bleed, which gave Liang Bozev an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The workers' Red Guards retreated again and again. The revolutionary soldiers took up their weapons in a frustration and turned around. Under the gaze of the non-commissioned officers who were much weaker than them, they were squeezed out of Moscow bit by bit.

Liang Bozef was quite proud of the "results" of the 26th and 27th. He just sent his troops out and let them show off their extremely pitiful force on the streets, which scared away the Bolsheviks.

This feeling was really wonderful. Of course, Liang Bozev was not overwhelmed by the temporary victory. He knew very well that the military power at hand was extremely weak, and it was not worth mentioning compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops around Moscow that opposed them. Without strong reinforcements, he would never stimulate the Bolsheviks at key locations, which were the General Administration of Posts and Telegraphs, the Municipal Hall, the Municipal Soviet, and the Kremlin.

These locations are too sensitive. He was worried that if his troops stepped into any of the above locations, it would immediately cause a chain reaction. The result was that the furious Bolsheviks canceled the negotiations and fought with him with real swords and guns.

Liang Bozev did not like the Bolsheviks, just like other Russian officers. He wanted to destroy the Bolsheviks. But at the same time, he was not an impulsive fool. It was good for him to destroy the enemy, but if the enemy was too strong, then he should adopt a strategy. He must not act recklessly.

For example, Rudnev's behavior seemed to him to act recklessly, "I don't agree to attack the Kremlin tonight, this is an adventure. This will greatly anger the Bolsheviks! Before General Karekin's reinforcements arrive, such an adventure is to perish!"

Rudnev obviously disagrees with Liang Bozev's point of view. He waved his fists and emphasized: "Mr. Colonel, I am not taking risks or acting recklessly, but the Bolsheviks forced us to take such action. This afternoon, they re-passed the decision to launch an armed uprising... They are collecting weapons and concentrating the army! We must first take action!"

"What a good one is the best!" Liang Bozef sneered, "Yes, I heard about the uprising of the Bolsheviks. But Mr. Mayor, you must understand that they had made the same decision three days ago, and what about the result? Except for the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones and the Kremlin, they were occupied by them, and nothing happened. There was no large-scale riots, no blood, nothing! And these two days, under my oppression, they were step by step back!"

After a pause, Liang Bozefu continued: "It can be seen that their determination to revolt is very weak. In the eyes of the matter, it seems that their release of this news at this time is more like a negotiation strategy. They attempt to create a false atmosphere of terror so that we can feel nervous and make concessions!" He emphasized with great affirmation: "Mr. Mayor, I think this is their true thought!"

Rudnev was speechless for a moment. He looked at Liang Bozefu foolishly, unable to say a word. He really couldn't think of how the other party could come to such a ridiculous conclusion. After a long time, he asked: "So, my colonel, what are your plans for the current situation?"

Liang Bozev's plan was very simple, that was, he would not completely break up with the Bolsheviks before he saw Karekin's army. As a person who cherished his life, he would not foolishly do something to die.

Rudnev's lungs were about to explode. He had never expected Liang Bozev to be so negative. The colonel had no idea of ​​fighting the Bolsheviks to the death. He just wanted to stick to the support. But can passive defense solve the problem?

"We must attack, we must take down the post and telecommunications, the Telecommunications General Administration and the Kremlin!" Rudnev shouted, "Only by controlling the post and telecommunications General Administration and the Kremlin, we have the hope of sticking to the aid! My colonel, we must master the channels for external communication and must also regain the largest armory in Moscow! Otherwise, the Bolsheviks will arm an army!"

The so-called largest armory in Moscow refers to the Kremlin, a palace with very symbolic significance in Russia. In Russian, it means inner city. In fact, this palace is indeed located in the center of Moscow, about triangle-shaped. The entire palace is about 2,300 meters in circumference, ranging from 5 to 19 meters high, 3.5 meters to 6.5 meters thick, with a total of four city gates and nineteen spires. It is known as the eighth wonder of the world.

During the October Revolution in Moscow, this palace had an extraordinary status. The palace's armory contained a large number of weapons and ammunition. To be honest, whoever can control this armory can immediately arm an army.

In history, on October 25, Vladimirsky and Pjanitsky seized the arsenal at the first time, giving the rebel troops a very good start. After gathering a unit, Liang Bozev also wanted to regain this important arsenal. After all, his troops were temporarily recruited, and most non-commissioned officers lacked weapons. With such a bare-handed state, it was impossible to quell the rebellion.

From late at night on the 25th, Liang Bozev surrounded the Kremlin for a time, preventing the 193rd Regiment in the palace from transporting arms to the Red Guard, who was also bare-handed and empty-handed workers. He even had plans to break in. However, because of the negotiations and the Kremlin's strong defense, he had to give up this idea. Later, in order to prevent the irritation of the Bolsheviks, Liang Bozev directly threw this idea into Java, and he didn't want to take risks.

And now Rudnev actually asked him to take down the Kremlin. How could he agree? "I don't agree with this kind of intensifying conflicts. I have already said that this is quite dangerous!"

Rudnev was furious and said angrily: "If the Kremlin is not taken down, what will we use to arm our troops? Just watch the Bolsheviks use the Kremlin's arms to grow little by little, and finally destroy us in one go?"

"Of course I won't do this!" Liang Bozef said proudly, "Our troops have completely surrounded the Kremlin, and even a fly cannot fly out. And this morning I have strongly warned the Bolsheviks and asked them to stop transporting arms! Mr. Mayor, believe me, the Bolsheviks cannot get a shot and an ammunition from the Kremlin!"

Rudnev was so angry that he glared at the beard, but the military power was in Liang Bozev's hands, so he had no way to deal with the other party. He could only yell angrily: "That means. You can't do anything now, but you can't help but watch the Bolsheviks conquering the city, right?"

Seeing that Rudnev was really popular, Liang Bozev was really worried. After all, Rudnev is the mayor of Moscow and is also the joint leader of various parties opposed to the Bolsheviks. If he is angry, this guy might remove him from his post.

Although Liang Bozev is greedy for life and fear of death, this does not mean that he is willing to give up the wealth he has obtained, so he can only find a way to appease Rudnev. "Mr. Mayor, of course my troops will not do nothing. In the current situation, I think attacking the Kremlin is not a good way, it will only make the Bolsheviks crazy. However, we must also put enough pressure on them. So, I will recover the postal, telephone, and the city hall tonight!"

The General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications is located in the north of the Kremlin, and its military significance is second only to the Kremlin. If it can be recovered, it will be a major blow to the Bolsheviks. Just as Liang Bozev did not want to anger Rudnev, the mayor did not dare to force Liang Bozev too hard. He could only accept this proposal.

"I agree with you. It is necessary to seize the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications!" Rudnev said with some regret, "But my colonel, I hope you are ready to attack the Kremlin! We must not let it go!"

Liang Bozev nodded indifferently. In fact, he didn't care about Rudnev's reminder at all. He thought that the Kremlin, which was guarded by only three or four hundred people, was not worth making a big deal, and it was very easy to take it down. As soon as Karekin's reinforcements arrived, he would take down the palace in minutes.

The same is true in history. In the early morning of the 28th, when Liang Bozev learned that Karekin's reinforcements would arrive in Moscow on the same day, he immediately extended his clutches to the Kremlin. At that time, he personally called the 1st Company of the 193rd Regiment guarding the Kremlin and intimidated the company commander of the 1st Company. He said that all members of the Moscow Revolutionary Military Commission had been arrested, the rebellion in Moscow had been quelled, and the order for the first order was surrendered within 20 minutes, otherwise the Kremlin would be bombed into ruins.

At that time, the company commander of the 193rd Regiment was a young lieutenant who had just joined the Bolsheviks. This young comrade had no idea about the situation outside and had no firm will. He was frightened by Liang Bozef's threat. Without discussing with his soldiers, the lieutenant opened the Troyc gate of the Kremlin without authorization. The non-commissioned officers who flocked in immediately occupied the palace and shot all the cowards and the 300 soldiers under him on the spot.

The fall of the Kremlin means that Liang Bozef has no worries anymore, and the large amount of arms in it armed Liang Bozef's troops, causing them to suffer huge casualties to the Red Guards, which were short of guns and bullets.

Li Xiaofeng, who is familiar with history, naturally knew the significance of this armory. From the beginning, he attached great importance to the Kremlin. He was determined to defend the Kremlin and prevent Liang Bozef from getting a shot and shot!

However, it is not easy to do this, because since the 26th, the Kremlin has been surrounded. Without Liang Bozefu's permission, no one can get close to this palace.

Moreover, the Moscow Revolutionary Military Commission did not attach importance to this palace and was very optimistic about breaking through the siege and enhancing the Kremlin's defense.

"This is simply an adventure!" Smirlov said bluntly. "We don't have the extra power to break through the enemy's defense now, and it doesn't make any sense to do so. It will only give more blood and sacrifice!"

Usievich also echoed: "Our enemies are very powerful, and they have an absolute advantage in the city. Our focus now is to defend the city Soviets and wait for reinforcements outside the city to arrive before they can launch a counterattack! Before that, any adventurous action is not advisable!"

Li Xiaofeng suddenly became anxious: "It is not a risk to open up the connection between the city Soviets and the Kremlin. It will not weaken our strength. Comrades, think about it! There are a large number of weapons in the armory in the Kremlin. As long as the weapons can be transported out, a large number of workers will be able to arm them. On the contrary, if these weapons fall into the hands of the enemy, it will be a nightmare!"

"The problem is that we do not have the power to transport these weapons!" Molov also spoke, "The armed forces we have now are difficult to defend the inherent positions!"

"I only have one battalion's troops!" Li Xiaofeng shouted anxiously, "I can complete the mission with just one battalion!"

Obviously, whether it is Smirlov, Usiyevic or Molov, they all think that Li Xiaofeng is talking in his sleep. In this area around the Kremlin, there are very dense enemies, and Liang Bozev's main force is basically stationed here. How can a mere battalion break a bloody road?

Moreover, at this time, they had more important things to deal with. The General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications was conquered by the enemy at 10 o'clock in the evening. Whether to regain this stronghold became the top priority of the Revolutionary Military Commission.

"We must retake the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications," this is Molov's opinion. "If the enemy controls Moscow's communication lines, it will be very unfavorable to the revolution!"

"But we don't have any extra troops!" Ushiyevic still re-promptly called, "We can only defend now. The loss of the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications shows the strength of the enemy. At this time, we cannot launch a blind attack!"

Smirlov thought for a while and said sadly: "I have no particularly good opinions on this, I abstain from it!"

Among the members of the Revolutionary Military Commission, only Mularov did not speak. Everyone looked at him and wanted to know what decision he would make.

"The General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications must be regained!" After a long time, Mularov made up his mind, "If we do nothing, it will only make the enemy more rampant! We must give them a headache!"

Two to one, when Mularov made the final decision, it was imperative to regain the postal and telecommunications and telephone calls. The question is, who will this task be handed over?

Li Xiaofeng once again volunteered: "I am willing to lead my comrades to regain the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications. I only have the strength of a battalion! Ensure that the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications and Telecommunications will be returned to the hands of the people!"

"This is a joke!" Uxiyevic didn't like Li Xiaofeng's radicalism at all. He felt that this person was too frivolous and was just talking big, "I will never let you joke about the safety of your comrades' lives!"

Li Xiaofeng retorted righteously: "I'm not kidding! I'm very sure to complete this task! I'm willing to issue a military order!"

"Even if you are willing to issue a military order, I will not agree to let you take the risk!" Usievich shouted bluntly, "If you talk nonsense again, I can only let you get out!"

"It's you who want to get out, a damn coward!" Li Xiaofeng was also angry, "I once again solemnly requested the Revolutionary Military Commission, please allow me to recover the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telephones! I will guarantee to complete the task!"

In the end, Li Xiaofeng's self-recommendation was passed. It was not that the Revolutionary Military Commission was moved by him, but that no one was willing to take on this task at the moment. Because the risks were too great, everyone knew that the strategic points such as the Post and Telecommunications and Telephone Administration must be extremely strict in the enemy's guards, and a mere battalion was simply going to die.

However, Li Xiaofeng did not think that he was going to die. He had a comprehensive plan, and the capture of the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications has special significance for him. As mentioned earlier, the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications is just north of the Kremlin. After regaining the General Administration of Posts, Telecommunications and Telecommunications, he could continue to "turn the troops south" to the Kremlin.

The attack on the General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications and Telecommunications and the subsequent Kremlin defense battle was described in various subsequent memoirs of the October Revolution, which was a key node occupied by the entire Moscow uprising. It has extraordinary historical significance and it is not an exaggeration to sing praises.
