    July 15, 1918 21:30 Moscow University Tsaritsyn Iron Infantry Division 1st Station

    Of course, Golbman, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Iron Infantry Division, had an unknown identity in the Soviet Southern Front and Voroshilov's 10th Army, Yelgena Yevnievi.  Qi Gorberman is the cousin of Yekaterina Davydovna Gorberman, and the female Bolshevik and Tsarist Russian female political exile Yekaterina Davydovna Gorberman  Berman fell in love with and married Comrade Voroshilov in 1907.

    Therefore, Golbman and his troops can easily poke some small holes without affecting the future of this troop and the brigade commander. Division Commander Pavlov sometimes can only turn a blind eye and pinch his nose.  However, there is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the First Brigade, which is much stronger than their military discipline.

    The division commander here, Pavlov, is still waiting for the operator to answer the call to the Kremlin. The soldiers from the division headquarters and the 1st Brigade outside have quickly gotten up and dressed up. They are fully armed and have put the entire west and south sides of the camp on guard.  , machine gun fire points have been deployed on the first and second floors of several rows of buildings.

    Here the division commander Pavlov finally got through the Kremlin phone, and a strange and slightly mechanical voice came from the receiver, "Which department are you in? Who are you calling so late? Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry  Division 1? This is Moscow, not Tsaritsyn! Please wait, Comrade Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili!"

    There was a burst of noisy human voices from the receiver. It seemed that the person who answered the phone was holding the receiver in a low voice and reporting something in a low voice.

    Here, Gorbman and the division political commissar arranged the troops to be on guard outside, and then returned to the division headquarters together. "Division commander, you see clearly, the one in charge of martial law is the Moscow Garrison Workers Division. There are at least two to 100 troops near our camp."  For the three divisions, I have sent liaison officers to go out with a white flag to contact the other side and find out the situation clearly. "

    The person who spoke was Division Political Commissar Dzhugashvili. This guy was not very young. He was the division political commissar personally selected by Joseph. There were rumors that this guy was also from the North Caucasus and had a close relationship with Comrade Joseph. However,  No one dared to inquire casually. It was common for Bolsheviks to use pseudonyms these days. Since Military Commissar Joseph himself did not tell the truth, the people below had the sense to keep silent and not inquire more.

    Division Commander Pavlov held the phone receiver tightly, turned to look at Dzhugashvili, and whispered, "Be prepared for the worst. The person who answered the phone just now didn't know about our 1st Steel Division?!  "

    The division political commissar Dzhugashvili and the first brigade commander Gorberman were both shocked when they heard this. At this time, another man came into the division headquarters in a hurry, but it was the second brigade commander Graglev. This guy  He was also sweating profusely. After entering the door, he said angrily, "It's bad, it's bad. The division commander, the political commissar, and the Moscow garrison surrounded us. Not only was martial law set up outside a street to the east, but Maxim was also put up! What should we do?  manage?"

    "Shh, everyone be quiet!" Pavlov, the teacher, suddenly put his finger to his lips and made a shut-up gesture, frowning and listening to the voice coming from the microphone:

    "Is this the infantry division commander that Comrade Joseph brought from Tsaritsyn? Please call your division commander, Comrade Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov! This is the Moscow Kremlin  Palace Guard Captain Matveyev!" A slightly serious voice came from the phone. Apparently the officer on duty handed the phone to his superior.

    "Are you Comrade Matveyev? I am the commander of the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division. Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov is me. Comrade Guard Captain, do you know me?  Is there a situation of martial law around the division's headquarters? I want to report this matter to Comrade Joseph, a member of the Central Committee from Tsaritsyn. In order to avoid misunderstandings, please find Comrade Joseph for me as soon as possible!"

    Although Pavlov's tone of voice remained restrained, his heartbeat accelerated unexpectedly, and he spoke to the other end of the phone with anxiety evident in his words.

    "Are you Pavlov? Comrade Division Commander, you and your division are in Moscow right now. This is not the front line or Tsaritsyn. Curfew and martial law are often imposed after 9 o'clock in the evening in Moscow. Please be patient.  , the Central Committee members are still holding emergency meetings overnight, do you understand? The Central Committee meetings are very important, and no one is allowed to interrupt them at this time!" The voice on the phone became slightly stern.

    "I'm sorry, Comrade Guard Captain, my division and I are responsible for protecting the safety of Central Committee members Joseph and Bubnov. I have an order, which was jointly issued by the Southern Front Headquarters and the Tenth Army Headquarters. I must cooperate with  Central Committee Member Joseph or Comrade Bubnov got in touch, I¡¯m not kidding, there are at least two to three divisions of Moscow garrison troops mobilizing around my station, and we are surrounded!¡±

    "At this time, if IIf we are unable to contact Comrade Joseph or Bubnov, things will become very serious. The Tsaritsyn working class are brave Bolsheviks, not rebels or White Guards. Any siege by armed forces will be regarded as a provocation and a declaration of war!

    The 1st Iron Infantry Division is a member of the Soviet Red Army. We will not accept any provocation. Either you ask the Moscow Garrison Command to withdraw the troops surrounding us, or you find Comrade Joseph for me!  "Pavlov's face was livid when he spoke. At this time, he had an unknown premonition in his heart. Could it be that there was a new rebellion in Moscow and Comrade Joseph had lost his freedom?

    Next to them, two brigade commanders and a division political commissar of the 1st Iron Infantry Division were also nervously surrounding their division commander. The corridor outside the door was crowded with guards and orderlies they brought with them, craning their necks and raising their ears to listen to what was going on in the room.  Everyone's face turned red and they didn't dare to speak out. Only then did the soldiers of the 1st Steel Division discover that Pavlov, the young and informal commander of the division, was actually speaking on the phone with the Kremlin.  To be so unwilling to give tit for tat.

    It¡¯s up to you to change yourself. You might be stammering and unable to speak clearly, let alone dare to go toe-to-toe with the other party in a threatening tone. This is Moscow, and the other end of the phone is the Kremlin. Guards  How big is it?  Anyway, I always feel that the leader who protects the Bolshevik Central Committee is much higher than the infantry division commander in Tsaritsyn.

    "Comrade Pavlov, I solemnly remind you that you and your division are in Moscow now, not on the front line. The troops around you are Moscow garrison troops. Of course you are not rebels, but the garrison troops are even less rebels.  , you are responsible for all the consequences of any rash actions by your team." Matveyev's tone became more severe on the microphone.

    "Comrade Captain of the Guard, I can't tell you that my division and I were ordered to escort Comrades Joseph and Bubnov to Moscow to attend the meeting of the Central Committee. No one told me in advance that at nine o'clock in the evening my troops would  We are surrounded and lose our freedom of movement. I will give you fifteen minutes. You can either withdraw the garrison that surrounded us or find Comrade Joseph for me. Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"

    As he spoke, Pavlov put down the phone with a snap, startling the division political commissar and the two brigade commanders who were surrounding him. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Pavlov could only be the division commander.  , and I am his deputy and subordinate. This is not unreasonable. To say that, Comrade Voroshilov and Comrade Joseph must be able to look at people.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off looking at Comrade Pavlov, who usually spoke and smiled and was gentle, it turned out that when he got angry at the critical moment, he was a thunderous, fierce and stubborn man who was not stingy. Now, the restless mind of the big guy found a little backbone.

    "Pass my order. The entire division is on alert and ready to fight. Any armed personnel who approach our station and enter within 300 meters without permission will be shot to death! Bring the map! Political Commissar, go and send a telegram to the Army Group and the Southern Front Headquarters. I  The Ministry is surrounded in the city of Moscow. The whereabouts of Joseph and Bubnov are unknown after attending the Kremlin meeting. Please give instructions on the next step!" Pavlov gave a series of orders, his face was ashen.

    As Voroshilov's close assistant, the 21-year-old commander of the main division of the Tenth Army, Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov, was born with a keen and unusual sense of smell. Every night in Moscow  Martial law and curfew after 9 o'clock. This is Thaksin Shinawatra. During the martial law and curfew, he actually needed to dispatch three divisions of troops to be on duty near his station?  It's definitely not that simple.

    Speaking of Pavlov¡¯s direct leader, Voroshilov, this man was originally appointed as the Petrograd NKVD and Chairman of the Committee for the Defense of Petrograd in December 1917, and worked with Dzerzhinsky to eliminate counter-revolutionaries.  He was the master of the committee's organizational work, so under the influence and training of Voroshilov, Pavlov developed a style that was quick to speak, quick to act, bold and sharp. Putting down his weapons was definitely not an option for him, regardless of whether he was being  The enemy is still defended by his own people.

    Due to the existence of the Cheka, the expansion of counter-revolutionary suppression and the beginning of the civil war, military rebellions and military struggles to suppress rebellions continued to occur in various places. Pavlov, who had experienced the bloody test, would never allow anyone to put himself and  The troops were beaten into rebels and eliminated. Except for Voroshilov and Joseph, no one could ask the 1st Iron Infantry Division to just lay down their weapons.

    Moscow and the Central Committee are far away from the First Tsaritsyn Steel Division, but Voroshilov and Joseph have lived with everyone day and night for so long. If Moscow cannot even trust these two leaders of the Southern Front, then  Something must have happened in the Bolshevik Central Committee!

    "Commander, isn't this a bit risky? If martial law and curfew at 9 pm are the norm in Moscow, will we create any trouble?" Division political commissar Dzhugashvili is more cautious after all. Although the division commander threw Klin  The one at Mlin PalaceThe guard captain's call was a great way to boost our morale, but what if we really overreacted and made a fool of ourselves?

    The two brigade commanders disagreed when they heard what the political commissar said. Gorberman grinned and said, "Comrade political commissar, can you use your brain? In such a small area near Moscow University, martial law requires the use of three divisions.  ? How many troops are needed for a place as big as Moscow? The other party is obviously coming for us! "

    "Yelgena Yevnievich is right. As soon as my second brigade patrol turned the corner, the other party shouted to stop. They pulled the bolt of the gun and fell down. Even the Maxim heavy machine gun was pushed out.  , How can this be martial law? They clearly want to attack our troops from Tsaritsyn, or at least they want to disarm us!" Graglev, the commander of the second brigade, obviously supported Gorberman's view.

    "Don't argue, it turns out we are right here, very close to the Kremlin. Those spiers in the distance to the east are the roofs of the Kremlin. No wonder there are three garrison divisions surrounding us.  Otherwise, if we charge, the Kremlin and Red Square will be two kilometers away to the east!" Pavlov said, slamming the map of Moscow spread out on the conference table.
