    July 15, 1918, 21:25, barracks near Moscow State University

    Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, former Chairman of the Military Committee of the North Caucasus Military District, Military Commissar of the Revolutionary Military Committee of the Southern Front, Member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, and National People's Commissar of the Soviet People's Commissariat, has been thoroughly investigated for his internal and external positions in the Party.  This was the biggest earthquake in the Bolshevik Party.

    Joseph worked in the North Caucasus for a long time and established outstanding achievements for the Soviets on the southern battlefield. He won three consecutive victories in the battle to defend Tsaritsyn. With the help of Voroshilov and Yegorov, he retreated to Tsaritsyn.  The former Ukrainian troops near Rizin, the workers' pickets in Tsaritsyn and the workers' detachment south of Saratov.

    Through the integration and organization of three battles to defend Tsaritsyn, the Southern Front with three main group armies, the 8th, 9th and 10th, was established and became half of the Soviet government's Eastern Front troops.

    If Vacetis, the commander of the Eastern Front Army, has to bear the leadership responsibility for the destruction of the Southern Cluster in the Battle of Ufa, then the Southern Front Army, which suffered much smaller losses, should not have been hit so hard. Of course, Comrade Joseph  It was a bit arrogant and domineering, but was it too much for a veteran Bolshevik leader who held the power of the party, government and military?

    Leading an infantry division of about 10,000 people to escort Central Committee member Joseph and Bubnov back to Moscow was Voroshilov's favorite general, the main division of the Tenth Army, and the commander of the 1st Steel Infantry Division.  husband.

    Dmitri Grigorievich Pavlov was born in November 1897 in a peasant family in Kostroma Province.  In 1914, when he was 17 years old, he joined the Russian army and fought in the Southwest Front. Unfortunately, he was captured and was imprisoned in the same concentration camp as Tukhachevsky of the Eastern Front.

    Before the February Revolution of 1917, Pavlov escaped from the prison camp and joined the Bolsheviks. Later, he was sent to work in the Izmailov Guards by the Bolshevik party organization in Petrograd, while Voroshilov  His military career, or revolutionary career, began with his successful rebellion against the Izmailov Guards in the February Revolution of 1917.

    In the process of instigating the rebellion against the Izmailov Guards, Voroshilov was deeply influenced by the young Bolshevik Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov.  Impressing him.

    Due to Pavlov's preliminary work, many Bolshevik soldiers had been developed in the middle and lower levels of the guard regiment, so the uprising went very smoothly. In the end, the soldiers elected Voroshilov as the Petersburg workers' representative and a member of the Bolshevik Caucus Committee.  .

    The 20-year-old Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov also became Voroshilov's favorite and appreciated assistant. Since then, he has followed Voroshilov to fight across Russia and served as  The guerrillas also developed miners' riots, and later followed Voroshilov back to Ukraine to form the Fifth Ukrainian Army.

    During the civil war, Pavlov served as platoon commander, company commander, and regiment commander. In the three battles to defend Tsaritsyn, he was promoted to brigade commander and division commander under Voroshilov, the main division of the Tenth Army of the Southern Front.  The 1st Iron Infantry Division was also handed over to Pavlov.

    The 1st Iron Infantry Division is a unit named personally by Joseph, the former Chairman of the Military Commission of the North Caucasus Military District. It originated from Comrade Joseph's article "Ism and National Issues" published in March 1913, and the first use of "Shi Daling" (meaning "Shi Daling")  Under the pseudonym "Men of Steel"), the 1st Iron Infantry Division was formed by drawing Bolsheviks from the working class from Comrade Joseph's most trusted troops, Voroshilov.

    And Voroshilov handed over this division to his most trusted subordinate and follower Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov. This division is absolutely Voroshilov.  The husband's direct troops are also Comrade Joseph's guard division.

    The 1st Steel Division has a full strength of nearly 10,000 people, almost 100% of whom are soldiers from the working class or who have been workers. It is one of the most powerful infantry divisions in the Southern Front. It escorted Joseph and Bubnov all the way from  When Tsaritsyn went north to Moscow, five trains were filled with a team of 10,000 people. The first brigade cleared the way for the two trains in front, and the second brigade served as rear guard on the two trains behind.

    The special train of Joseph and Bubnov was an armored train equipped with machine guns and cannons. The armored train was a magical weapon in the defense of Tsaritsyn and was also a weapon often equipped by the main force of the Southern Front. Of course, the 21-year-old division commander Ba  Vlov was a strong Bolshevik, so he did not think about whether his troops would one day open fire on Moscow.

    The officers and soldiers of the 1st Steel Division did not think so. Like their young division commander, in the eyes of the young men, Joseph was a representative sent by the Soviet Central Committee and Moscow to Tsaritsyn and the Southern Front, representing the leadership of the Soviet Central Committee.  Tsaritsyn and the Southern FrontTo the troops of the Southern Front, Joseph was the Moscow Central Committee, the Bolshevik Party, and his own leader!

    "Reporting to the division commander, there are many soldiers on several streets in our camp. They seem to be under martial law and mobilization! Do you want to call our troops to be on alert?" The person who rushed into the division headquarters to report was the first brigade commander Golber.  Man, followed by two sentries on duty.

    "What's going on? Calm down, this is Moscow, the heart of the motherland, where are the enemies? Are there troops trying to rebel and riot?" Division Commander Pavlov jumped up when he heard this.

    This guy and his political commissar Dzhugashvili were discussing in a low voice at the headquarters how to maintain discipline in the troops after the troops entered Moscow. This is the capital, and the people of Moscow are not country bumpkins in the villages and towns in the south. As the southern troops  When entering the capital, don't disturb the people and cause trouble. Comrade Voroshilov and Comrade Joseph's faces will not look good when they arrive!

    "Speak slowly, Comrade Gorberman, have you issued a warning to us? Find out which part of the army it is?" Division political commissar Dzhugashvili said seriously from the side.

    "Report to the division commander and political commissar. It seems that the other party is from the Moscow garrison. The rifles in their hands have long stabs. The other party does not look like a riot or rebellion, but it seems to be coming towards us. There are two lines near my Moscow University.  The intersections outside the street are blocked, and no one is allowed to pass without a pass! "

    Gorberman's murmured answer was that if his troops had stayed in the camp, the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Division might not have known whether Moscow was under martial law or not, but the woods were big enough to have all kinds of birds.  , Moscow¡¯s material supply is tight, especially food, but there is plenty of vodka.

    Gorberman's adjutant took two orderlies to get some food, and wanted to go to a nearby Muscovite house to exchange for some good wine. As a result, he ran into martial law. If he hadn't been able to run quickly, he might have been stopped.  There is no way to come back outside. How can the people from the 1st Iron Infantry Division of Hucharitsin get a Moscow pass in such a dark light?

    Of course, Gorberman's adjutant and orderly managed to sneak back to the camp with a few bottles of good wine they had exchanged, so Gorberman had no intention of reporting the exchange of food for wine with the Muscovites to the division commander's political commissar.  However, his camp was suddenly surrounded by martial law, which was of great importance. Gorbman rushed to the division headquarters to report it immediately, and even pretended to bring two sentries on duty behind him.

    Just like that, the phone rang in the division headquarters. Division political commissar Dzhugashvili walked over and picked up the phone. It was the second brigade calling, half a street away in the east and north directions of the camp.  The Moscow garrison was still large in number, but the street traffic had been blocked. Then the two regiments of the first brigade reported one after another that Moscow garrison troops were enforcing martial law in the west and south directions of the first division.

    "Operator, this is the First Tsaritsyn Steel Division of Moscow State University. Please call me to the Moscow Garrison Headquarters. No, please call me directly to the duty room of the Central Committee of the Kremlin Palace or the Supreme Military Council!" Division Commander Pavlov looked grim.  At the same time, he ordered the political commissar to urgently notify the commanders and soldiers of the entire division to get up and enter a state of alert. However, they were not allowed to leave the camp or shoot without permission without orders from the division headquarters.

    This guy just picked up the division headquarters¡¯ only external phone and wanted to answer the Kremlin!  There were bursts of whistles and busy footsteps in the entire camp, but the crowd was not loud. Although the soldiers of the First Steel Division were nervous and didn't know what was going on, they were obviously well-trained.  He is not the one who jumps up and yells in the middle of the night when he hears the emergency assembly whistle.

    Fortunately, this outside call was not cut off, which means that the First Division of the Iron Infantry did not become a turtle in the urn and was slaughtered by others. Although Pavlov was young, he was experienced and knew that if the troops surrounding him were  If you really want to fight or eliminate yourself, you will never leave the phone uncut and let yourself move out to recruit reinforcements.

    While waiting for the pleasant female voice of the operator to answer the call, the guy covered the phone and turned to glare at the commander of the first brigade and said, "It's only been a few hours, Gorbman, your people haven't gone out to cause trouble."  Bar?"

    Gorbman sweated on his forehead, stamped his feet and swore, "Division commander, don't talk about you before I come. Even Comrade Voroshilov has repeatedly warned us that our 1st Iron Infantry Division represents the working class of Tsaritsyn and South Korea."  The image of the front army, Moscow is the heart of the motherland, how can we dare to mess around, they are the fellow villagers who were picked up by us in the carriage along the way, we let them off the train before it entered Moscow!"

    "Taking fellow villagers with you? Humph, don't forget that you are the glorious First Steel Division, not the White Guard Cossacks. You are the glorious Soviet Red Army soldiers, not bandits! If any fellow countrymen come to complain, I will look at your brigade.  Do you still want to do it?" Pavlov said angrily after hearing this.

     "Don't worry, sir. It's not easy for fellow villagers. It's impossible to buy train tickets these days. There aren't many fellow villagers in our carriage. You can rest assured about the discipline of the team. Iron will and steel discipline, but if the fellow villagers  We can¡¯t care too much about our personal relationship with the soldiers, right? After all, we¡¯re going back to Moscow, not to fight on the front line.¡±

    Gorberman and Pavlov are obviously two different types of Soviet Red Army generals. In other words, Pavlov is a very motivated young division commander, while Gorberman, the commander of his main brigade,  , but he is a carefree master who does not care about today and does not think about tomorrow. He is brave in battle and has good command of his subordinates. He is deeply loved by the soldiers of the first brigade.

    The soldiers respected their young division commander Pavlov, but they loved Gorberman more, who usually hung out with everyone like a brother. The discipline and combat effectiveness of the first brigade were directly proportional, and grasping the slightly humane  The best balance between a little military discipline and high combat effectiveness is Golbman's specialty.
