Yudenic, an infantry general. In March 1918, the big bald man led his army to attack Petrograd, but was defeated in Pskov. He could only lead the remnants to escape to Estonia in a panic. There was no news of the bald man for more than half a year. It seemed that this inconspicuous white army had collapsed.

But only Yudenic himself knew that not only did his troops not collapse, but were constantly accumulating strength and growing. After more than half a year of hiding his talents, he had gathered an army of more than 50,000 people.

However, Yudenic was still very low-key, and according to the requirements of the Germans, he acted as a thug of the German puppet government in Estonia. Even the Germans' request for the distribution of the 10,000 yuan seemed to have no intention of killing back to Russia to flatten the Bolsheviks.

In the eyes of the Germans, Yudenic was already scared and defeated. From an aggressive jackal to a wagging pug, there was no need to worry about this good dog.

Unfortunately, the Germans really underestimated Yudenic. This guy is ambitious and never willing to be a dog. His ideal has never changed. The reason why he acts docile is that he is just numbing the Germans.

After the failure of the first attack on Petrograd, Yudenic joined the line with Learvin. Miss Spies pulled the bald head onto the Allied pirate ship without any effort. It was also with the secret support of the Allied dying that he could quickly recover and strengthen his power.

Yudenic had been waiting for the sword to be drawn, waiting for Learvin's instructions, to be honest, he could not wait.

The last time Yudenic invaded Petrograd was Pskov. But it turned out that although this route was well-trained, the Red Army's troops in this direction were quite powerful. Last time he was beaten to pieces, he didn't want to repeat the same mistake this time.

Therefore, in order to achieve the suddenness of the attack this time, Yudenic chose the shortest and fastest route, and took the northern line! Cross Lake Navar from Navar, and cross the Irora Highlands through Jinjishep and headed straight to Gatchina.

The route is only one-third of the way to the southern line Pskov. If it moves fast enough, he has arrived at the city of Petrograd before the Bolsheviks and the Red Army reacted.

According to the information given to him by Lierwin, Petrograd was very empty. After several draws, the Red Seventh Army stationed nearby had only one empty shell left, and the volunteers in the direction of Vyborg have already arrived in Helsinki. It would not be easy to come back, and the Finnish White Guards would not allow them to come back easily. In addition, the 8,000 British, French and American coalition forces from Murmansk, recapturing Petrograd would not be a dream!

After receiving Lilwin's operation permit, Yudenic moved quickly and crossed the border overnight to attack Jinjishep. After a brief battle, the Red Army garrison troops stationed in the city were completely wiped out.

Yudenic, who was in a hurry, had no interest in Jinjishep at all. After leaving a battalion to clean the battlefield, his main force continued northward and ran along the railway line toward the next target Volosovo.

Volosovo is an inconspicuous small city. The troops stationed here are the Artillery Company of the 1st Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Red Seventh Army's Garrison Division. The acting company commander was a soldier who only participated in the Red Army in March 1918. His name was Nikola Nikolaevich Vorolov.

To be honest, this Vorolov and Yudenic are old acquaintances. In March 1918, when he participated in the Red Army, Yudenic was the fight between Yudenic. In that battle, the recruit performed very well and showed military talent beyond ordinary soldiers. After defeating Yudenic, Vorolov was immediately sent to the military academy for further studies. In September 1918, after half a year of assault intensive training, he graduated from the Petrograd Artillery Command Class at the age of 19, and was reassigned to the Red Seventh Army as artillery commander.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the level of the garrison division. In fact, there is only one artillery battalion in the entire artillery regiment (the other two were transferred away). As for the artillery company of the battalion, it is even more terrible.

Vololov's company had only three mortars, one of which was damaged in a car accident during the previous transfer. It was precisely because of this that his troops were thrown in Vololosovo. According to the original instructions, they should also go to Jinjishep to garrison.

However, this unexpected car accident was also helpful to Vorolov, so that he would not have made dumplings by Yudengic's army as soon as he arrived in Jinjishep. It was precisely because of this unexpected car accident that Yudengic suffered a great loss.

Previously, according to the information given to him by Lilwin, Volosovo had no garrison. Therefore, Yudenic believed that his army could be directly crushed from this small city without stopping to fight.

But when the armored train that he was leading to arrive at Volosovo, an accident happened. With a loud bang, the front of the car flew out with the roadbed. The violent explosion caused more than a dozen carriages behind to derail, and his vanguard fell to death in confusion.

Of course, this loss is nothing to Yudenic. What really made him angry was that the railway subgrade was damaged, so how could the vast army behind him pass?

"How much time will it take to repair?" Yudenic asked at the engineer battalion commander with his beard and stared at him.

The engineer battalion commander replied carefully: "It will take at least one day."

Yudenic snorted coldly: "I will only give you two hours! If you can't complete the task, you know the consequences!"

The poor engineer battalion commander was frightened. He was doing his best to repair the railway at all costs. After exhausting more than a dozen horses, the railway line was miraculously unblocked within two hours. This time, Yudenic was much more cautious and no longer dared to sway forward. Instead, he lowered the cavalry from the special train and let the Cossacks go forward as an eye.

I have to say that Vorolov is really a bit smart. He knows very well that the amount of troops he has at hand is not enough for Yudenic's vanguard to eat meat. It is impossible to try to stop the car by the mantis arm and block the enemy. So Vorolov chose a smarter tactic, not to confront head-on. Instead, harass and delay the other party, trying his best to buy time for Petrograd.

So when Yudenic's train had just resumed traffic. After he got on the road with a fierce and arrogant look, with two cannons, the front of the car was shot again. As a stream of black smoke rushed into the sky, his train had to stop again.

"What's going on!" Yudenic roared furiously.

"Arson!"

Yudenic asked, "Has the cavalry been scattered? Where did the Red Bandits come from?"

No one knows how to answer this question. The area near Lake Naval is densely covered with forests and swamps, and it is winter now. Heavy snow can cover all traces well. To be honest, it is impossible to find the mortars quickly without a certain distance.

"Search! Search me carefully!" Yudenic shouted in anger: "You must catch these hateful mice!"

Vorolov is not stupid. He will not wait foolishly for Yudenic to catch him. He will change his place with a shot and quickly flashed. Anyway, the mortar is not heavy, so three or four people will run away. When Yudenic's cavalry found their previous gun positions, Vorolov and his friends were gone without a trace.

In the next day, Yudenic was tortured by Vorolov and was dying. Although not every shelling would accurately hit his army, he could not let the other party open fire casually. He could not ignore it, right?

"Jingjishep has been lost, and Yudenic's bandits are advancing quickly towards Petrograd."

Tilloviev and Kalinin really don't like this news. For more than half a year, Petrograd has not stopped at all. It was finally over the end of the year, and they thought they could have a calm New Year and welcomed 1919. Who would have thought that a thunder sound in the plains would jump out again.

"How many troops do Yudenic have?" Zinoviev only cares about this issue.

"There is no exact information for the time being. However, according to the reaction of Jinjishep's defenders, the enemy's troops are quite powerful, no less than 100,000!"

OK! Yudenic doubled the price on the flat ground, and the pork was not filled with water so quickly, right?

But what is even more outrageous is still behind. Petrograd soon spread rumors. Yudenic rushed over with an army of 300,000. If you are dead, run away!

Needless to say, this is the spies under Lierwen spreading fake news, and their techniques are quite clumsy. Three hundred thousand people are not 300,000 pigs, so how can they hide it? Kolchak only gathered 300,000 people in the Ural direction, and he only dared to claim to be a million. That is, it's better to double this side, it's six times in one breath. Why don't you say the army of 500,000, how good is it to be a whole number!

Of course, what is even more funny is that Zinoviev actually accepted the number in full and paniced to send a telegram to the central government for help, claiming that Petrograd was attacked by 300,000 white bandits!

When they saw this telegram for help, Lenin and Trotsky couldn't stare out their eyes. The two mentors were puzzled. Did these 300,000 people pop out of the cracks of the stone?

"Comrade Gregory must have been confused by the rumors spread by the enemy!" Trotsky's blood was revealed, "Youdenic could not have 300,000 bandits. At least from the information we have obtained, there is no armed force of 300,000 people in Estonia. There is no such army in Estonia!"

Lenin nodded and agreed: "The enemy is trying to scare us, and hope that we will be defeated if we don't fight! I think it is the most urgent thing to keep Petrograd calm and find out Yudenic's real force as soon as possible!"

In fact, Yudenic's real military strength is no longer necessary. Vorolov has already obtained a relatively accurate number - 60,000 to 70,000 people.

However, when this relatively accurate number is placed on the Politburo's desk, whether it is Lenin, Trotsky, Sverdlov and Derzhinsky, they all seem very worried.

Of course, 60,000 or 70,000 people are easier to deal with than 300,000, but the mentors knew very well that the area of ​​Petrograd is now a vacuum, and it is difficult for them to gather 30,000 or 40,000 people!

At this time, two completely different styles between the mentor and Trotsky were reflected.

Lenin said: "Given the current situation, I think it is unlikely that we will draw troops to rescue Petrograd. Ural and Volga are fighting against the Kolchak bandits and Denikin bandits. Helsinki. The volunteers are destroying the Finnish White Army. It is impossible to draw troops to be sent in either direction. So I think there is no way to give up Petrograd temporarily. It is not too late to recover Petrograd after the situation on other battlefields improves!"

Lenin was really able to take it and let it go. With Petrograd's historical status in the October Revolution and Petrograd's industrial ability, it was really awesome to say that his mentor would give up.

However, Trotsky did not agree to give up Petrograd: "I object! Although we cannot temporarily mobilize troops to reinforce Petrograd, we must not give up easily. Petrograd has an irreplaceable role in politics, military, economic, and industrial aspects. It is absolutely not allowed to hand over such a huge revolutionary center to the enemy!"

He paused. He said quite firmly: "Losing Petrograd will be a political disaster. Losing Petrograd will also disrupt our industrial production that has just formed order. The weapons and ammunition produced by Petrograd are of great significance to the decisive battle on the front line! Our enemies will expand rapidly after obtaining these precious weapons. This will make it more difficult for us to destroy them in the future. And it is not ruled out that after they seize Petrograd, they will rush their troops eastward to coerce Moscow. Can we continue to give up Moscow at that time?"

From this we can see that the tutor can take it and let it go, and does not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. Trotsky believed that he should stick to the end and never retreat easily. It should be said that Trotsky's opinion is more reasonable. Petrograd is indeed of great significance and cannot be easily lost.

If this is lost, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Bolsheviks and the Soviets, and it may really cause a chain reaction! But Lenin's concerns make sense. Petrograd is indeed empty, and he is really not able to rescue Petrograd. He can't shout to defend Petrograd, but in fact he will do nothing!

"I will go to Petrograd to supervise the war in person, and will fully mobilize the workers of Petrograd. Mobilize the sailors of Kronstadt in full... Our enemy is not strong either, and with 1 million people of Petrograd as a backing. It is no problem to defeat 60,000 or 70,000 bandits!"

Trotsky really made his promise this time and made a military order. After a little thought, Lenin agreed to Trotsky's request, "I believe that if you go to Petrograd to supervise the battle, you will definitely be able to repel the Yudenic bandits. In order to defend Petrograd, the whole party should be united. Every party member must contribute his strength... Draw troops from the Moscow city defense force, at least one division will be drawn to assist Petrograd, so that the Baltic fleet sailors will be fully mobilized, and as long as the guns can be used, all the people in Petrograd will go to the front line of Petrograd!"

It is obvious that the tutor is also quite kind. He knows that it is meaningless to let Trotsky go to Petrograd alone. If you really want to keep this revolutionary holy land, you must give out real money.

Although Moscow's city defense forces were already very weak (basically all were transferred to the front line), he still squeezed out a division and even let all the Baltic Fleet go ashore to fight land war.

The mentor felt that this was not good enough, so he ordered: "Tell Comrade Andre that Petrograd's military situation is extremely tense. If possible, please end the battle against the Finnish White Army as soon as possible and rush to assist Petrograd as soon as possible... If you really cannot draw troops from the front line, try to draw some of the troops from the garrison troops in the Vyborg area. Even if you only draw one or two thousand people, it is of great significance!"

The tutor was really willing to do his best this time. He even had to draw troops like Vyborg, an important food import channel. It can be seen that once he made up his mind, he would do his best. It has to be said that the Bolsheviks were able to win the revolution and gain a foothold, and the tacit understanding between him and Trotsky was the important reason. Without them, only revolutionaries like Stalin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, and others, the Bolsheviks even had their shorts blown away.

Li Xiaofeng was also shocked when he received the order from his mentor. In his memory, Yudenic's second attack on Petrograd should have happened in the second half of 1919, so he did not take this big bald man seriously.

Now, the big bald man jumped out suddenly, really caught him off guard! The troops attacking Helsinki must not be able to be drawn, and there is also quite nervousness. As for giving up Helsinki and retreating, this is not possible for the time being. The old fox Mannahem has also learned guerrilla tactics and sticking to the volunteer army like candy. It is not easy to retreat.

However, the central government's orders must also be implemented, and he quickly made up his mind, "Draw two regiments from the First Division of the Volunteer Army who stayed in Vyborg to immediately rush to support Petrograd!"

"Then is the defense in the Vyborg area too weak?" Ubolevic was very worried. After all, the Allied Allied forces heading south were said to have eight or nine thousand people. Is it too timid to use only one regiment to deal with them?

Li Xiaofeng thought it was enough. The Allied Alliance drove from near the Ji Circle to drink a pot. It really seems that the temperature in Russia, especially near the Ji Circle, was a joke? If these idiots might have to lose one-third of their staff when they came to Vyborg. What's more, he decided to leave the Red Eagle Regiment to station in Vyborg, and with the combat effectiveness of the Red Eagle Regiment, he would be more than enough to deal with them.

It should be said that it was quite difficult for a certain immortal to draw 6,000 troops from the Vyborg area, but when his troops arrived in Petrograd, Zinoviev was not satisfied and complained all over the place, and the meaning inside and outside was that Petrograd could not be defended.

This made a certain immortal quite angry. Just as he was about to have a good chat with Dapengface, a sudden unexpected situation exacerbated Petrograd's chaos...
