"Air raid! Comrades-Commander has five heavy bombers and more than a dozen fighters flying towards us!"

The roar of sentinel Petrov sounded, interrupting Lieutenant Colonel Fei Koningsky, a regiment political commissar who was doing this ideological work for more than 600 officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 24th Regiment of the 84th Division of the 17th Army of the Soviet Red Army.

"What's there to worry about? It's just four bombers that fly so high." Feiguaninsky looked up at the planes in the air that looked no bigger than ants, and then half-jokingly said to the hundreds of Red Army officers and soldiers gathered in the trenches: "Look at it, the German pilots are all cowards and dare to throw bombs down at an altitude of 10,000 meters, because it's hard for our anti-aircraft guns to hit them at this altitude, but their bombs will also be invisible and will not pose any threat to us."

Someone immediately echoed among the "listeners" below: "Yes, the Germans are just wasting bombs. We don't need to be afraid at all. Nothing can destroy our position, because it is the strongest position in the world!"

"That's right, nothing can destroy our positions, even that kind of super bomb can't!"

"The German guys have been fighting us for four years but have not defeated us. How can we defeat us with a few super bombs now? Such rumors are so ridiculous!"

"It's not only ridiculous, but also vicious! It's said that the Krasnoyarsk Fortress was destroyed by a super bomb, and it's also said that Smolensk and Leningrad were flattened by a super bomb... This is completely cursing our great motherland! We must pull out the guy from Chuanyao!"

"Yes! You must catch these rumor-producing guys and send them to the group army's counter-espionage office!"

"Yes! Send them to the group army counter-espionage office!"

Seeing the angry look of the cadres and soldiers below, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Fei Koninsky's mouth. Because he knew who the bad guys who spread rumors were - there were the Army Command, the staff and cadres of the Political Department. There were officers from the 84th Division, and the following soldiers were planning to send the rumor-mongers to the counter-espionage department of the Army who were preparing to send the rumor-mongers to the "rumor" that the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, Leningrad and Smolensk were attacked by super bombs! Similarly, according to the 3% indicator, in the 290th Regiment

The order to arrest the rumor-mongers and send them to the "Punishment Battalion" was also obtained from the director of the Counter-espionage Department of the Group Army. Such a thing is really ridiculous. The rumor-mongering and those who investigate the rumor are simply a group of people. If they hadn't said anything, the cadres and soldiers below were kept in the dark. As a result, when the "rumors" were flying all over the sky, these guys pretended to be righteous and came out to catch the rumor-mongers, and they would probably be able to make contributions and receive rewards in the end... Is it really a rumor that the Krasnoyarsk Fortress, Leningrad and Smolensk were blown up by imperialism, is it really a rumor, and the purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole to catch some unlucky guys to the Punishment Battalion?

Boom, boom, boom...

Just as Fejninsky was thinking about catching a few thorns who were not very obedient inside as rumor-mongers to make up for their numbers, the sound of anti-aircraft guns began to sound. Then someone began to cheer: "The enemy's plane ran away! It ran so fast..."

Then he ran away? Feiguaninsky looked up and looked into the air. Sure enough, he ran away! Several small planes that were still hovering tens of thousands of meters above his head were now flying westward as if they were dead... Are these Germans like this? Didn't they just be hit by a 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun several times? This anti-aircraft gun is actually not accurate. Perhaps the ones who came to carry out the bombing mission today are all newcomers who have just graduated from the flight school?

"The speed is 590, the direction is west. The height is 9,800 meters, and it is breaking away at full speed!"

Just when Fejoningsky was on the ground, and there were other Skys who were mocking the fleeing German planes in the air. At an altitude of 9,500 meters, these German planes were really running away desperately. One of the H-7 bombers imported from China used dive acceleration to increase their speed to 590 km/h. The other three FW-200 long-range reconnaissance aircraft produced by the Germans themselves flew to a highway of more than 600 km/h. Two of them were fw-200. Four latest high-speed cameras were faithfully recording everything that was about to happen with 16mm color film. In the previous nuclear explosions of Smolensk and Leningrad, the Germans also sent FW-200 long-range reconnaissance aircraft to shoot on the spot. Copies of these films will be given as gifts to leaders of all countries participating in the Berlin Peace Conference.

On another FW-200 reconnaissance aircraft, the Luftwaffe General Kesselin, who was in charge of the nuclear bombing operation, had put on radiation-proof sunglasses and put on radiation-proof suits, staring at the direction where the East nuclear bomb fell. Inside the cabin, there was a solemn and low voice saying: "…6,5,4,3,2,1, detonation!"

April 29, 1936. 10:25 am.

In Belarus, a flash of light shining brighter than the 1,000 suns in the Soviet defensive position about 35 kilometers northwest of Borisov suddenly passed by! Even with radiation-proof sunglasses, General Kesseling still felt that his eyes were suddenly shining. At the same time, the entire plane suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it was hit by anti-aircraft guns. Then a loud noise like a mountain collapse and cracking sounded in his ears! He knew that this loud noise meant at least tens of thousands of Soviet lives had gone to hell! And for several Soviet armies around Borisov, this nuclear explosion was just the beginning of a series of nuclear strikes!

...

"O God! Oh God! The end of the world is here!"

Bilizov screamed and fell into the trench. Captain Zadov, who fell to his company commander, rolled around the ground, howling like crazy. Zadov was a little stunned. There seemed to be a flash of light just now, but he was smoking with his head down, not sure what was going on. At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and there was also a huge roar that could not be described in words. All the soldiers standing in the trench were shocked to the ground. Zadov quickly held the wooden stakes on the inner wall of the trench before he could barely maintain his sitting position, but he still felt the ground beating under his butt. The soil, sand, or other things exposed to the surface, were swept into the trench and sprinkled everywhere.

"What the hell happened to Bilizov..." Zadov stretched out his hand and grabbed Bilizov, dragged the teenage half-aged child to him, and asked loudly.

"God! God! The end of the world is here..." The child seemed to be completely scared, just kept shouting "God" and "end of the world". Zadov frowned and showed a regretful expression. Both of these things are quite reactionary, and no one can escape ten years of labor reform. This child's life is ruined...

Feeling that the shaking of the ground had slowed down. Zadov stood up with the inner wall of the trench, raised his head and looked around. When his eyes turned north, he was stunned by everything he saw in front of him. A super huge mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke that was tens of thousands of meters high had soared into the sky!

"God! What is this?" Zadov couldn't help but shouted the name "God". But at this time he didn't have to worry about someone making a report. Because all the Red Army officers and soldiers who saw this scene widened their eyes and shouted for God. There were also a few who were constantly drawing crosses on their chests.

"That...that wouldn't that be the super bomb of imperialism?"

I don’t know who called out a noun that is even more terrifying than God - super bomb! A month or two ago, the above said that imperialism invented a super bomb, which is relatively powerful and requires everyone to strengthen the fortifications... Not many people took this kind of thing in mind, and it would be fine if they heard it. Fortifications and other things are already very solid, almost reaching the limit that civil fortifications can reach. Reinforced them requires reinforcement. Can you give them to them? But soon after, those terrible rumors began to spread. A super bomb can destroy a city! A Krasnoyarsk Fortress was destroyed by a super bomb! Half of Smolensk was razed to the ground by a super bomb! Some people even said that the Lenin District of Leningrad was completely flattened by a super bomb!

This kind of words didn't sound true, and no one believed it, but the superiors repeatedly ordered strict investigations, and none of them were even assigned to 5 "counter-revolutionary rumor-mongers"! Zadov had to catch three, but there was still two left to settle down, and someone actually fell into the trap.

"Who! Who is spreading rumors about super bombs? Catch him up!" Zadov swept into the trench with a gloomy look...

...

"Help! Help! Who will save me..."

"God! What the hell is going on?"

"I'm blind, I'm blind! God, I can't see it!"

"Is this hell? This must be hell..."

A strange scream or moan sounded at the half-deaf ear of Feiguaninsky. He was now lying on the bottom of a circular defensive position. The temperature on the ground was very high, and the air around him was boiling, as if it was seventy or eighty degrees! He sucked into his lungs and felt a sharp pain (of course the air was not that hot, but his lungs and respiratory tract were burned). He tried hard to open his eyes and looked around. He was stunned by the scene in front of him. It seemed like a fire hell! Everything was blood red (his eyes were bleeding), and all the wooden stakes used to support the inner wall of the trench were burning! All the heavy weapons in the trench fell to the ground, and some even turned into parts. The most outrageous thing was that the barrels of several 25mm anti-aircraft machine guns were bent. How much power would it take to do it?

But what shocked Fejninsky the most was the people in the trench! They were all dead or about to die. Some were lying there with their limbs stretched out, as if they had fallen from a high altitude and fell to death; some seemed to be crawling, but the whole was burned to charcoal; some were burned with huge holes on their clothes, and the skin exposed outside was either burned or red with blood, looking extremely miserable! Apart from all kinds of corpses, they were even dying, and each was seriously injured, either by large burns, or by some heavy object or half buried in the soil, all screaming heart-wrenchingly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." The gunshots rang out. Feiguaninski turned his head with difficulty and saw an officer leaning against the wall of the trench with a bloody face killing people with a pistol! Killing those seriously injured and dead Red Army soldiers, maybe they wanted to help them relieve their pain! Or maybe this guy is completely crazy...

"God! What's going on? Is this the power of a super bomb?" Feiguaninsky thought about God and the super bomb while crawling over to a collapsed bunker in the center of the ring fortification. It was the battalion's battalion headquarters. The most important thing now is to contact the superiors and tell them everything that happened here, so that they can send troops to reinforce quickly, and must send reinforcements before the German attack troops come up!

However, Fei Koninsky's efforts were completely futile and unnecessary. On the one hand, due to the damage of the electromagnetic pulses generated by the nuclear explosion, all the communication equipment of the 84th Division of the Soviet Army was completely damaged and unusable; on the other hand, the flashes of the nuclear explosion, loud bangs and mushroom clouds up to 100 kilometers can be seen, felt, heard! So there is no need for him to report. The commands of the 16th Army, the 17th Army and the 18th Army already knew what was going on.

In fact, the ring fortification where Feijininsky is located is not the center of the nuclear explosion. The nuclear fission bomb dropped from a German H-7 bomber at an altitude of 9,500 meters was exploded about 400 meters above the Soviet 291st Regiment headquarters about 2,500 meters away from the ring fortification. The explosion equivalent generated is equivalent to 18,000 tons of tnt explosives! The ring fortification where an infantry battalion under the 291st Regiment and the 291st Regiment was located has been completely flattened. The positions of several other battalions within 2,000 meters around the explosion center (two of which are also under the 291st Regiment) were also flattened. Everyone was killed as soon as possible!

In the area where Fejuninsky is located, that is, within 2,000 meters to 10,000 meters from the nuclear explosion center, all the trenches, anti-tank strongholds and various other fortifications were shattered by the shock waves of the nuclear explosion. The four Soviet infantry regiments stationed there and the officers and soldiers of the 84th Division of the Soviet Army were all injured and injured - either dead or injured. In particular, most of the wounded people who were close to the nuclear explosion center and were exposed, were destined not to live long because they were infected with severe nuclear radiation.

On the Soviet positions 10,000 meters to 25,000 meters away from the explosion center, there were basically only injuries and no deaths. The high temperature and shock waves of the nuclear explosion could no longer cause too much damage to the Soviet targets within this range, but the strong nuclear radiation still caused invisible serious damage to the Soviet officers and soldiers here. However, the biggest blow to the Soviet army in this area was not the radioactive contamination that would only show its power long after. Instead, it was the nuclear explosion.

The huge blow to the spirit and morale of the officers and soldiers! After witnessing and truly feeling the terrifying power of the nuclear fission bomb, they have realized that the world revolution has failed, and that the rumors that Krasnoyarsk, Smolensk and Leningrad have been hit by destructive weapons are all true! Countless Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers sat in their trenches in a daze, their eyes were dull, and their faces were filled with fear and despair...

As for the outskirts of Smolensk, hundreds of kilometers away from the center of the nuclear explosion, the command of the Soviet Western Front received emergency reports from the 16th Army, the 17th Army and the 18th Army less than a quarter of an hour after the nuclear explosion.

Lieutenant General **fu, Chief of Staff of the Western Front, walked to Yegorov and Tukhachevsky with a numb expression, and sighed without saying a word: "The nuclear explosion occurred at the junction of the 16th Army and the 17th Army, near the position of the 84th Division of the 17th Army. The positions of the 85th Division of the 17th Army and the 91st Division of the 16th Army were also affected. The total number of casualties is expected to be between 20,000 and 30,000. Another 250,000 people witnessed the nuclear explosion at a relatively close distance, which may seriously affect the morale of the 16th, 17th and 18th Army! In addition, the German troops in front of these three armies did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. It seems that they will continue to launch a nuclear attack in the next few days!"

Losing 20,000 to 30,000 people in a nuclear explosion is actually nothing. Compared with the nuclear explosion losses of Leningrad and Smolensk, there is not even a fraction of it. It is not particularly serious for the Soviet Western Front, which has a total force of millions. But how much loss will the morale of the troops suffer in this nuclear explosion? In addition, if the German army repeatedly launches nuclear attacks near Borisov, can the troops bear it? Will they be completely destroyed by two nuclear explosions, and the entire army collapse?

Tukhachevsky listened to the initial loss report with a calm face. There was no expression on his face, but everyone around him knew that he was pretending to be calm. Because the current situation was too bad, this was the fifth nuclear strike that the Soviet Union had encountered! It seems that there are many weapons such as nuclear fission bombs in the imperialist arsenal, and they can continuously release them. Even if a nuclear fission bomb eliminates 30,000 people, as long as there are three or four thousand, it can kill more than 100 million Soviets. In fact, it is not enough to use that. If there are three or four hundred, the Soviet Union will definitely be finished. This number should be there?

Tukhachevsky pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "It seems that the Borisov generation is the focus of the German breakthrough! The purpose of their nuclear fission bombs is to hit our morale. Their general offensive is likely to be launched within a week!" He looked at Yegorov: "Comrade Yegorov, is the Western Front confident of fighting this battle?"

Yegorov nodded and said, "The Western Front will definitely fight as well as possible, but I am afraid that the enemy will continuously release nuclear fission bombs, which will cause great harm to the morale of the frontline troops. Comrade Tukhachevsky, can we remove the main forces of the three armies in the Borisov area?"

Tukhachevsky waved his hand heavily: "No! This is equivalent to opening a hole in our defense line, and such actions cannot be hidden from the enemy at all. If the enemy takes the opportunity to break through, our millions of troops may be cut off in half or even be divided and surrounded. At that time, the enemy will be able to kill all of our people with nuclear fission bombs!" He gritted his teeth: "Order the 16th Army, the 17th Army, and the 18th Army to hold their positions and do not allow a step back! Also, order the general reserve team to stop retreating and concentrate on Tarachin and Orsha in the east of Borisov to prepare for a decisive battle with the German army!"

"Decisive battle?" Yegorov took a deep breath: "Are you no longer building large defensive strongholds?"

"It's too late to build it up." Tukhachevsky sighed: "As long as the Germans continuously drop nuclear fission bombs around Borisov, the three armies stationed there will soon collapse completely. At that time, the German army will be put into armored clusters for assault, and may put in thousands of tanks and thousands of aircraft... This is an overwhelming force. Once a breakthrough is formed, the Western Front will be finished, and the Southwest Front can only retreat east of the Dnieper River. The only hope now is to use mechanized troops to defeat the enemy, right on the plain east of Borisov!"

"I can't beat it!" Yegorov shook his head. "Our su-76 is not the opponent of the enemy's Black Panther Tank and Cheetah Tank Destroyer, not to mention that the Germans have overwhelming air-optimal. If they don't use the defensive zone to consume their attack kinetic energy, but directly invest in the tank troops to fight them in a decisive battle, they will definitely be defeated."
