On April 2, 1936, the Krasnoyarsk Fortress after the nuclear explosion.

This fortress, which had stolen a lot of work and reduced a lot of materials under its mighty appearance, actually withstood the bombing of nuclear fission bombs!

After walking along the dark passages and stairs inside the fortress with a kerosene lamp for unknown periods, Huasilevsky and Tolbuhin finally let go of their hearts. Although under the impact of the nuclear explosion shock wave, cracks were shaken out of the core fortress of Krasnoyarsk fortress, and many places collapsed. Almost all the doors closed during the nuclear explosion were stuck and could only be knocked open with force or even used explosives to break them. Huasilevsky, who knew a little civil engineering, knew that this was the main load-bearing structure of the fortress. However, a half of the fortress buried in the soil was not a high-rise building after all. Even if more than half of the beams and columns broke, it would not cause the entire fortress to collapse.

Therefore, these injuries are not in the hearts of Huasilevsky and Tolbuxin. What really makes them worried is that the communication system of the fortress is completely damaged. Not only can it not communicate with the outside troops, but even the internal contacts of the fortress can only rely on the correspondents! Since the Soviet Eastern Front Command is located in the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, the interruption of communication means that the Eastern Front Command can no longer bear the mission of commanding operations. The entire Soviet Eastern Front can be said to have lost unified command. If the Chinese attack at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!

In addition, due to the delay in recovering communications, the Eastern Front Command inside the fortress did not know how much damage the nuclear explosion caused outside the fortress, nor did they know whether the Chinese took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the periphery of the Krasnoyarsk Fortress?

However, it is not so easy to repair damaged communication equipment, because the power supply system of the fortress is completely paralyzed! Without electricity, there is no lighting. How to repair communication equipment in the dark? And not only can there be no way to repair communication equipment, but even the fortress armored fortress that requires power drive cannot be used now. Even the power-driven doors of the core fortress cannot be opened. It can be said that the fortress is paralyzed. If the Chinese army attacks at this time, it may be able to capture the Krasnoyarsk Fortress in one fell swoop!

Through a long dark corridor, Huasilevsky and Tolbuxin entered the fortress's power room, where several kerosene lamps were hung. Several engineering and technical personnel were gathering around a table with the internal circuit diagram of the fortress and whispering something. Seeing Huasilevsky and Tolbuxin walking in, several of them stood attentively saluting.

"How is the situation? When will the fortress be restored?" Tolbuxin asked with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't be restored for a while." An elderly engineer with a rank of lieutenant colonel said with a bitter face: "There are no problems with several diesel engines. However, all the fuses in the fortress were burned at the same time, and many insulating layers of wires were burned through. These are not something that can be repaired in a short time, and... and there are not so many spare wires available in the fortress..."

"The fuse is blown out?! The wire insulation layer is burned through?!" Huasilevsky and Tolbuxin were a little confused. Of course, they didn't know what electromagnetic pulses were. Although the nuclear bomb that exploded near the Krasnoyarsk Fortress could not destroy the outer wall of the fortress, the reinforced concrete slabs and soil coverings at the top of the fortress. However, the transient electromagnetic field or nuclear electromagnetic pulses generated by the nuclear explosion caused a severe damage to the radio station and power supply system inside the fortress.

Scientists do not know that any nuclear weapon that explodes above the ground will produce electromagnetic pulses, with energy accounting for about one millionth of the total energy of the nuclear explosion, with a frequency ranging from several hundred megahertz to several megahertz. It will rapidly generate thousands of volts of transient voltages on exposed conductive bodies (such as exposed wires and antennas). Such voltages are transmitted to the communication and power lines of the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, causing extremely serious damage to the entire circuit, communication lines and equipment of the fortress.

In this era, no one knew about the "nuclear electromagnetic pulse". Moreover, the supply of materials in the Soviet Union is relatively tight, so there is no sufficient electrical equipment in the fortress warehouse at all. It is impossible to completely repair the fortress's power supply and communication systems.

"We must restore power supply as much as possible, and we must give priority to the power supply of the headquarters and the fort." Huasseylevsky explained a few words and said to Tolbuxin: "Fedor, go outside the fortress and take a look."

"Okay," Tolbuhin nodded: "Let's go together... worrying about the situation outside being still manageable." He turned around and asked the lieutenant-colon engineer, "Is there a way to go outside the bunker?"

"No problem. Although several major doors cannot be opened, there are still several secondary passages that lead to the fortress superstructure. I will lead the way for Comrade Chief of Staff and Comrade Commander."

...

At this moment, the scene outside the core fortifications of the Krasnoyarsk Fortress can only be described as the end of the world. The entire city, the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, is actually built on the largest city in Central Siberia on the east bank of the Yenisei River, on the plains on the eastern outskirts of Krasnoyarsk. The civilians of Krasnoyarsk have now been evacuated to Novosibirsk, Gubishev, Leninsk and Kuznetsky. Most of the buildings in the city have become Soviet barracks or materials storage areas. The 500,000 Red Army guarding the Krasnoyarsk Fortress are not all stationed in the fortifications or fortifications around the fortifications, and a considerable number of them will be placed as reserves in the city of Krasnoyarsk fortress.

But now, the city with at least tens of thousands of Red Army officers and soldiers stationed has turned into ruins... There is a scene of thick smoke everywhere, and a pungent smell is emitted everywhere, and blue flames are flashing everywhere. The nuclear fission bomb seems to explode on an open space less than 200 meters west of the fortress. The surface buildings of several small fortresses in the center of the nuclear explosion have disappeared, and a large pit with a diameter of more than 200 meters and a depth of more than 30 meters appeared on the ground!

A little farther away from the explosion, two completely different situations occurred. In the east district of Krasnoyarsk City to the west of the nuclear explosion site, there were collapsed and burning buildings everywhere. The bodies of Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers were piled up like mountains. In a tributary of the Yenisei River, all of them were floating with swollen belly and ferocious faces, and a pungent stench. These people might have jumped into the river from the sea of ​​fire when the explosion occurred. There were dead bodies everywhere on the streets, most of which were lined up. Some of them were still in a complete walking posture, but they had been burned into a piece of coke. It was obvious that several teams of Red Army soldiers were patrolling or adjusting defense.

On the east side of the nuclear explosion site, the situation seemed not bad. The core fortress of the fortress did not collapse. The reinforced concrete slabs on the outside of the protective wall on the west were destroyed by the high temperature and shock waves generated by the nuclear explosion, revealing the red brick wall inside. The brick wall as thick as 9 meters was also destroyed by the power of the nuclear explosion. There were also a lot of red powder accumulated in the corners of the remaining brick walls. I wonder if it was the product of those bricks being crushed by the shock wave?

The sealing layer that is several meters thick on the top of the fortress core fortress has completely disappeared, as if it has never existed! The pothole concrete roof of the fortress is exposed outside, and the anti-aircraft artillery positions originally deployed on the fortress sealing layer naturally no longer exists. However, the two triple-mounted 305mm armored turrets located on the north and south sides of the core fortress are still intact. Although the surface of the armored turret has completely turned black and there are traces of metal melting, the overall appearance is still intact... at least it is still like a turret. As for whether it can be fired or rotated, only God knows.

The situation in the central area of ​​Krasnoyarsk, which is farther away, is also extremely miserable. All the buildings that can burn are burning, cannons, cars, carriages, armored vehicles, etc., all fall to the ground, and there are countless Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers groaning in pain on both sides of the road. The injuries of these people seem to be extremely serious. Most of them are already torn clothes, and their exposed skin is burned extensively, and some are even falling off, revealing bloody and bloody flesh! Moreover, most people are blind, and their eyes must be burned by the flash of the nuclear explosion. Now there is no medical staff, and no one else is rescuing the wounded, only the screams of despair.

"God! Save me!"

"Lord, forgive me!"

"Father, I am guilty..."

There are also many dying wounded people who seem to be performing dying confessions, but unfortunately the content is all related to the reactionary God. If it were normal, there would have been a blue hat guardian cadres who had a blue hat to pick up people - believing in God, Allah, Sakyamuni or other gods were all crimes that violated the Soviet Criminal Code! But now people are almost dead, and the GCism belief has been smashed by an imperialist atomic bomb. Who cares about the Soviet Criminal Code? If these wounded people still have vision, they would see many security cadres who were wearing tattered blue hats on their heads, and they were all folding their hands to repent to God and the old man! From the standpoint of God, these people's sins are probably the most serious, and I don't know if they can be forgiven?

"God! This is what's going on? What's going on? Is this the power of the nuclear fission bomb? Imperialism has such a terrible weapon. How can we fight against them? How can we fight... If we are going to fail, we are all sinners, sinners of the Russian nation. We have destroyed the entire Russia, the Soviet Union is finished, Russia is finished!"

A crying voice sounded in Comrade Huasilevsky's ears, and the chief of staff of the Eastern Front, who was stunned by the scene in front of him that was supposed to be in hell, woke up from fear and shock. He turned his head and looked at Lieutenant General Tolbuhin, the commander of the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, was crying loudly. A lieutenant general of the Red Army, who was tall and strong, had a clear face that only a tough guy deserved, was now scared to tears by the tragic phenomenon in front of him!
