In addition, it is worth mentioning that the 37th Armored Division of the National Defense Forces from China was arranged by Guderian, the commander-in-chief of the German Armored Group, in the middle of the Tver western line of defense in this Tver blocking battle, which was considered to be the Soviet The most likely place for the army to break through!Therefore, it is necessary to assign the most elite troops.The Chinese Eighth Armored Division, which performed extremely well in the battle at the end of [-], is undoubtedly the most suitable unit.

……

At the same time that the German armored forces were preparing to defend against the Soviet infantry's manned fortifications with the utmost clean fortifications.The actions of the Soviet Red Army were somewhat procrastinated.Due to the indiscriminate bombing of the German Air Force and the entanglement of the White Russian army, the main force of the Northwest Front of the Soviet Army did not reach Torzhok, about 5 kilometers northwest of Tver, until May 15. In the early hours of the 60th, the newly appointed commander of the Northwest Front, General Timoshenko (who had just been promoted with Zhukov), sent a telegram to the great leader of Moscow. , ready to attack the enemies of Tver at any time!

Of course, this is definitely an exaggeration.Due to the cut off of the rear and the bombing by the German army for several days, the morale of the Northwest Front Army has been quite low, and there have been a large number of officers and soldiers fleeing in all infantry divisions!Especially the troops sent to the rear to stop the Belarusian pursuers, often after a symbolic resistance, they happily raised the white flag and surrendered to their opponents as a whole!So after more than ten days of fighting and withdrawing, the total strength of the entire Northwest Front Army has dropped to about 130 million.After leaving two army groups to stick to Borogoye, the army that Timoshenko brought to Torzhok was only about 100 million.

On May 5, General Timoshenko received a telegram of commendation from Stalin himself, and heard that Tukhachevsky, Yakir, Blyukher and all those who had defected to Empress Anastasia After the Soviet generals stayed with their families in Moscow, they were all executed!So he resolutely ordered the 16st, 1nd, and 2th Assault Groups, the 4st Army and other departments to immediately advance eastward and launch the first wave of attacks on the enemy of Tver!

According to Timoshenko's plan, his first wave of offensive will involve four army-level combat groups, and three of them will be assault groups attached to tank divisions.There are a total of 4 tank divisions and 3 infantry corps. From the book point of view, this is indeed a very powerful force.But in fact, this is not the case at all. First of all, the three assault groups suffered heavy losses in the offensive on May 9, especially the three tank divisions suffered almost devastating losses. Before the offensive launched on May 5, Only 2 tanks were able to be activated by the three tank divisions, and the rest were either destroyed in combat or abandoned after breaking down during the subsequent retreat.The situation of the nine infantry corps (four of which were motorized infantry corps) was not much better. These corps were used in the battle of May 5 to attack the Russian defense line from the front and suffered considerable losses. , During the great retreat of the next ten days, they were chased and bombed by German planes all the way. By May 16, the 91 infantry corps together had lost more than 9 people!Moreover, nearly 5% of heavy weapons and supplies such as artillery, trucks, and luggage have been lost.

Although the situation of these troops was not good, the Soviet army still launched an assault. At 1938:5 pm on May 18, 6, the sun had just set, and the 30 large-caliber artillery pieced together by Timoshenko began to roar deafeningly.Streams of orange or dark red fire streaked across the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the German defensive positions.Immediately there were bursts of huge roars like rolling thunder, and countless pillars of smoke and flames rose from the ground.Thick gunpowder smoke and hot flames permeated the entire German defense position, and shell fragments mixed with black soil rolled up by the shock wave of the explosion fell like raindrops... It's a pity that at this time the German position was almost empty. The infantry were all on standby in the rear reserve position—after all, there were thousands of tanks supporting them there, and the German army was not worried about the Soviet infantry attacking with the shells.

The Soviet artillery bombardment came fiercely, but the maintenance time was very limited. After 6:50, the Soviet army's artillery stopped abruptly after firing 6 to [-] shells.Then the attack of Soviet tanks and infantry began.For the four Soviet armies that were engaged in the attack, the plan for this attack was very simple, that is, rounds of shelling plus waves of people, even if it was piles of corpses, the German positions must be piled up to make a hole!The main breakthrough direction is in the center of the German defense line, which is the area in charge of the Eighth Armored Division of the Chinese National Defense Army.In the first wave of charge, Admiral Konev, who was in charge of commanding the attack, invested all three tank divisions, plus four infantry divisions, with a total strength of about [-] troops.

Seeing the Soviet artillery shells falling on his position like raindrops, Hu Lian knew that his 8th Armored Division could play the leading role again this time!He quickly issued an order to defend. As soon as the Soviet artillery stopped, a regiment of the 8th Armored Grenadier Brigade of the Chinese National Defense Army quickly entered the position.

At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, the attacking formation of the Soviet Red Army appeared on the vast battlefield.In the lead were 91 T-26 tanks. In order to accommodate the advancing speed of the infantry, these light tanks with weak armor and insufficient firepower slowly marched on the land plowed several times by artillery.Around them are tens of thousands of Red Army infantry.

When the Soviet attacking force rushed to about 500 meters from the front position of the Eighth Armored Division of China, the 8 Min 30 26mm anti-tank guns assigned to the Eighth Armored Grenadier Brigade (imitated by the Soviet ZIS-57 Anti-tank guns) began to show off. "Boom! Boom! Boom..." Accompanied by bursts of loud noises, the Soviet T-1 tanks charged with their heads covered turned into bright fireballs, and the burning tanks were like fires. Light up the entire battlefield.

Seeing that the tank was destroyed, the attacking Soviet infantry hesitated briefly, but soon the series of machine gun bullets fired from behind made them regain their confidence in winning—that was a shot by the internal affairs personnel who supervised the battle. If you dare to delay the warning shot, the next bullet will really kill you!

"Communists! Members of the Communist Youth League! Come with me! Ula..." Someone shouted in a voice that seemed to come from the heart, and then the shout of "Ula! Ula!" echoed across the battlefield, and the Red Army The infantry seemed to be crazy, and started a crowd assault!

"It's really a group of desperate guys!" Seeing this scene through the telescope, Hu Lian frowned and shook his head slightly, and then loudly shouted to the staff behind him: "Let the artillery bombard! The tank fire also participates in the shooting!"

Less than a minute later, the 1 18mm No. 150 self-propelled artillery and 36 105mm No. 300 self-propelled artillery of the three self-propelled artillery battalions belonging to the Eighth Armored Division behind the front roared first, and then more than 75 people hiding behind the earth wall The No. 88 and No. 16 tanks and the No. [-] assault guns also used their [-]mm or [-]mm cannons to aim at the advancing Soviet infantry and fired!Then, the mortars and machine guns of the [-]th Panzergrenadier Regiment, which had entered the first-line defensive positions, also joined the "cannon fire chorus".Round after round of shells exploded at the front of the Eighth Armored Division's position, and clouds of smoke and fireballs continued to rise.The charging Soviet officers and soldiers seemed to have bumped into a high wall of artillery fire, and were beaten into charred black corpses smoking by huge shock waves and flying shrapnel!Became cannon fodder in the true sense.

Seeing that his troops were engulfed by the opponent's artillery fire, General Konev, who commanded the Soviet army to fight, did not change his expression at all.It seems that this situation has long been expected by him.

"Order the artillery to fire to suppress the opponent's firepower; order the first echelon to retreat, and the second echelon to attack..." Admiral Konev issued a series of instructions in a light tone, then raised his binoculars and continued to watch the battle.

The powerful Soviet artillery group once again roared like thunder, and countless shells fell around the position of the Eighth Armored Division. Some tanks and self-propelled artillery were directly hit and ignited a raging fire, but most of them were safe and sound.Continue to support the Panzergrenadier defenses with their firepower.In this way, the night of May 5 was spent in rounds of Soviet shelling and infantry charge.However, the front line defended by China's Eighth Armored Division remained unmoved under the full attack of the Soviet army...

Chapter 0772 The Sunset of the Soviet Empire ([-]) If Moscow falls...

On the night of May 5th, the Soviet army's full-line offensive in Tver ended in failure as expected. The defense line of the German armored group seemed indestructible.However, General Timoshenko, the well-proven Soviet general, will not lose confidence because he still has enough troops in his hands.He quickly got in touch with the Moscow Front and formulated a more ambitious decisive battle plan.The Soviet Northwest Front Army and the Moscow Front Army will dispatch eight army-level clusters to simultaneously assault the German defense line from the east and west directions and implement a joint offensive campaign.This plan was approved by the headquarters on the day it was submitted.

If this combat plan can be successful, the German armored group will suffer heavy losses and lose its ability to fight!The Northwest Front of the Soviet Army was also able to enter the capital of the Soviet Union before the main force of the German army reached the city of Moscow.In order to implement this plan, the Moscow Front drew 31 divisions to form a new front - the Tver Front, commanded by Lieutenant General Kacharov.The Northwest Front Army withdrew the three assault groups that had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and replaced them with four infantry armies. In addition to the original 65st Army, a total of five armies were invested!And appointed Lieutenant General Vasilevsky as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.As a result, the total force invested by the Soviet army in the Battle of Tver has reached 98 infantry divisions!If it is fully loaded, there will be nearly 65 troops in the attack.But in fact, the divisions participating in the battle either suffered heavy losses in the early battles, or were newly formed infantry divisions that were not at all full.However, the total strength of the 70 divisions still exceeds 5000!As many as [-] cannons were used!Such a battle can be regarded as a huge battle even in the military history of the world.

On the night of May 5, after several days of mobilization and preparations, Lieutenant General Kacharov's Tver Front launched an offensive first.Nearly 21 large-caliber artillery were mobilized to the front line, bombarding the German armored group's defense line with fierce artillery fire. After that, 800 Red Army infantry divisions took turns to attack, and successively captured several German trenches.But in the end, it was blocked in front of the earth wall with tanks as the main support force. The Soviet army continued to attack regardless of casualties, but failed to move forward!

At dawn the next day, the German Air Force mobilized more than 1000 Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers to the front line of Tver to assist in the battle, and Guderian decisively invested in armored forces for a counterattack.At about 7 o'clock on the fifth day, about 1000 German tanks cooperated with armored grenadiers and motorized infantry, and under the cover of German aircraft, engaged in battle with Kacharov's Tver Front Army on a wide front.In the following two days, the German army launched an offensive during the day, while the Soviet army counterattacked at night when German aircraft could not be dispatched.

Fighting until the evening of May 5, the German army finally defeated the Tver Front Army with its powerful firepower and overwhelming air superiority!That night, the 24 Red Army infantry divisions of the Tver Front Army, which suffered heavy casualties, were crushed, chased, and smashed by nearly 20 tanks and assault artillery from 5 German armored divisions. The 1800+ army was completely in panic and despair. All the officers and soldiers scrambled to flee towards Moscow. Valuable cannons, machine guns and supplies were discarded at will. .The Front Army Command could only contact the nearest fairly complete infantry regiment to cover its retreat in the direction of Moscow.However, during the daytime on May 10,000, the terrible Stuka dive bombers screamed and dived and dropped bombs. The retreat of the Tver Front Army was blocked. The German armored group took the opportunity to launch another assault, and finally completely smashed the Tver Front Army!Most of the officers of the Front Army Command, including Lieutenant General Kacharov, also died in the final battle, and Kacharov himself was crushed into a pulp by the tracks of a rampaging German Panzer III!

When the sun quietly set on May 5th, the Tver Front Army, which had only been formed for 25 days, no longer existed!Only the Soviet prisoners of war in a long line walked towards Tver with heavy steps and blank faces... But fortunately, the German special operations team did not follow the armored group, so the captured Communists and political The members' lives are not in danger for the time being.These people may pray to God that the kind Empress Anastasia hasten to save them...

At the same time, in the west of Tver, the 5 armies of the Northwest Front Army of the Soviet Army also fought desperately with the 6 armored divisions and 2 motorized infantry divisions blocking the enemy!On this battlefield, the Soviet army has an overwhelming numerical advantage. The 5 armies have 15 infantry corps and 45 infantry divisions. Although each infantry division has a reduction of 2 to 3%, the total strength is still as high as 48!There are also nearly 3000 cannons.The corresponding German troops, including the Eighth Armored Division of China, only had 8 divisions, with a total strength of less than 15 and only 900 cannons, but they had nearly 2400 tanks and assault artillery!And during the day, it will also receive air support from the powerful Luftwaffe.

The battle between the two sides began on the night of May 5 and ended in the early morning of May 21, and lasted for four days and five nights.Every night, the Soviet army will launch a violent assault on the German defense line with the greatest strength!The 5 cannons on both sides also roared all night, and the fiery red ballistics shuttled back and forth in the night sky, weaving a huge fire net, covering the entire battlefield, shrapnel flying across, and the smoke filled the air. The Red Army infantry shouted "Hurrah! "Call forward with the slogan, go forward and follow up, and regard death as home!The fascist German army and the Chinese National Defense Army also resisted desperately. Whenever the defense line was critical, German and Chinese tanks roared and launched a counterattack, blasting with 26mm artillery, strafing with machine guns mounted on the tanks, and even crushing the Red Army soldiers with their tracks. !The Red Army fought with anti-tank guns, anti-tank grenades, Molotov cocktail bottles, and these steel monsters that made loud roars and spewed deadly flames... Dozens or even hundreds of tanks were destroyed every night Or wounded, and for every German and Chinese tank belching smoke, at least a hundred communist fighters paid with their lives for it!But what makes these martyrs feel uncomfortable is that most of these black-smoky tanks have no fatal damage, and will be repaired by highly skilled German or Chinese mechanics on the second or third day , continue to massacre communist fighters!

On May 5, when General Timoshenko confirmed that the Tver Front Army on the Eastern Front had been crushed by the Germans, he knew that this breakout campaign was completely hopeless!Because it is impossible for Moscow to launch an offensive again to cooperate with the Northwest Front Army... and the Northwest Front Army not only lost nearly 26 officers and soldiers in the fierce battles these days, but more seriously, it also consumed more than 10% of its ammunition reserves !Now the ammunition of the entire front army can no longer sustain high-intensity offensive operations.In the end, the two armies remaining in Borogoye had been routed by the White Russians.Now nearly 80 million white troops with tricolor flags are marching towards the city of Torzhok where the headquarters of the Northwest Front Army of the Red Army is located...

Of course, the fierce fighting for four days and five nights was not without any results, and the German armored group that penetrated into Tver was also exhausted.Moreover, the nearly 40 Soviet Red Army withdrawn from Great Luki also entered Moscow smoothly.After deducting the losses of the Tver Front Army, the number of Soviet troops in Moscow has exceeded 60, and nearly 50 Moscow citizens have been mobilized to form thousands of workers' Red Guard battalions.In addition, the Siberian Front also sent reinforcements of 10 infantry divisions to Moscow under extremely difficult circumstances. These troops will be commanded by Lieutenant General Chuikov and enter Moscow by train before the end of May.

……

On the evening of May 5, almost all members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union came to Stalin's dacha in Kuntsevo to hold an emergency meeting.On this afternoon, the new chief of staff of the Red Army, General Zhukov, told Stalin with the deepest heart that the Soviet army suffered a defeat in the Battle of Tver.Although the German army once looked precarious and suffered heavy losses (Zhukov's guess), they were not fatally hit, and they still had the strength to launch a counterattack with the support of the Luftwaffe during the day on May 26th... Lieutenant General Kacharov The Tver Front Army has been defeated, and some personnel have fled back to Moscow today, but the number will not be many.The whereabouts of Lieutenant General Kacharov himself are also unknown. It is estimated that most of them have dedicated their lives to the cause of communism...

In addition, the Northwest Front Army also stopped its offensive in the early morning of the 26th and began to switch to defense. The offensive troops of the five group armies plan to withdraw from the front line tonight and retreat to Torzhok for rectification. They may be surrounded by German and White Russian troops.At present, the total strength of the group army is still about 5. However, ammunition supplies are scarce and morale is low. It seems that it is difficult to persist for a long time. Zhukov suggested that the front army can be dispersed to the north to break through. After the successful breakout, the troops can turn to the Ural Mountains , there and the Caucasus Mountains, will be the hope of the future revival of the Soviet motherland!

Zhukov also reminded Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, it looks like we don't have enough strength to defend Moscow. Now there are only 60 regular troops in Moscow, plus the 10 infantry divisions brought by Lieutenant General Chuikov, the total strength is no more than 70." Over 220. The enemy’s German army alone has more than 200 million, and the White Russian Servant Army has nearly 420 million! The combined number of the two is as many as [-] million, and their weapons and equipment are obviously better than the Red Army. Troop training, at least The training level of the German army is also better than that of the Red Army, and its combat effectiveness is also stronger, so the final result of Moscow can only be the fall..." At this point, the general's eyes were full of tears, and he said with a sob: "I beg you , Comrade Stalin, leave Moscow! The people of the Soviet Union need you, and so do the working people of the world! Even if Moscow falls temporarily, the Soviet Union will not perish. We can establish a solid red base in the Ural Mountains, in the Caucasus Mountains. There Rest and recuperate, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback..."

Leaving Moscow, going to the Caucasus... to my hometown Georgia, where there are seas on both sides and the Caucasus Mountains to the north. As long as a small number of troops guard the mountain pass, the enemy will not be able to enter.There is no problem with the defense of the coastline. With the presence of the Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Sea Fleet, it is impossible for the enemy to land on the coastline of Georgia or Azerbaijan.

Moreover, after Anastasia seized most of Russia's territory, most of the German and Chinese invading forces will withdraw from the Soviet territory, and they will go to fight against Britain and France... so the next battle is between myself and Anas Tasia, how could this woman have defeated the Bolsheviks, defeated herself?But the question is, I have lost almost the entire Soviet Union, can the comrades of the Bolshevik Party follow me?

Stalin thought about this question all afternoon, and when the members of the Politburo sat down in the conference room and waited for his instructions, they still did not come up with a final answer.As if he wanted to find an answer to the question that troubled him, he scanned the faces of the members of the Politburo in his eyes, then turned and opened the window to look at the forest around the villa.Finally, he asked, as if pointlessly, "If Moscow falls, where should our cause start again?"

"Anywhere, as long as there is the wise leadership of Comrade Stalin!" Molotov replied firmly.

"We should go to the Transcaucasus to establish a revolutionary base." Voroshilov understood Stalin's thoughts best. He suggested: "There are Caucasus mountains in the north to block the enemy, and there are seas on both sides. We have a fleet that can control the coastline. The south is connected Turkey and Persia. If Germany and China go to war with Britain and France in the near future, Britain and France will definitely come to our aid through Persia."

"Does Moscow still need to be defended?" Stalin seemed to be talking to himself, and he replied: "I think it needs to be defended. We need time to consolidate the Transcaucasus base, and we need to send supplies and reliable comrades to To go there, we need to understand the unstable factors there, which will take time..." He was silent for a while, and then said: "We should set up a Transcaucasian Front Army, who should be the commander of this Front Army?" After asking On this question, Stalin turned his attention to Voroshilov.Among these members of the Politburo, he trusted Voroshilov the most.

"I'll go! Comrade Stalin, I'm going to Transcaucasia. I'm familiar with the situation there, and I'm sure I'll be able to successfully complete the task!" Voroshilov immediately volunteered.

Stalin nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, let's appoint Comrade Voroshilov as the commander of the Caucasus Front!" He thought for a while, and then said: "It is not enough to have a Caucasus Front, we also need a Ural Front... …You said, how about we transfer Timoshenko from the Northwest Front and send him to the Ural Front? Now that the encirclement has not yet been closed, Comrade Timoshenko still has a chance to come out.”

"Then who will lead the Northwest Front?" Kalinin asked.

"Let Comrade Konev lead the Northwest Front." Stalin paced in the conference room, "Let Timoshenko find a group of backbones from the Northwest Front to break through together. Comrade Voroshilov, you too A group of people were selected from the Moscow Front and Red Army headquarters and brought to the Caucasus Front. In addition, those who retreated to Kuibyshev will also go to Tbilisi one after another.”

"Comrade Stalin," Grandpa Kalinin suddenly thought of something at this time, he said: "Some time ago, Chinese comrades wanted to invite me, some veterans of the Bolshevik Party, and leaders of the Communist International to take refuge in Baotou, you Look at this..."

"Oh?" Stalin responded slowly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Is this a good intention? They want to preserve a little blood for the Soviet Union, so it's hard for them. Well, we can suggest that the Comintern appoint Comrade Zhou Enlai as the director of the Eastern Bureau. Mao Zedong and Wang Ming were the deputy directors, and the leaders of the Communist Party of Asian countries such as Lu Yi, Ho Chi Minh, and Nosaka Sansan were also sent to Baotou, and the Eastern Bureau was also moved to Baotou. They have also been entrusted to Zhou Enlai and other Chinese comrades."

Although Stalin had already guessed Zhou Enlai's intentions, but the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union was already facing a catastrophe. Brother, in fact, it won't be long before the power of the CCP will surpass that of the Soviet Communist Party!

And so it was decided.Voroshilov was immediately sent to Tbilisi to form the Caucasus Front Army, 5 infantry divisions adapted from the Soviet Internal Guard, and the [-]st Tank Division adapted from the Tank Armor School. The designations of the Guards Infantry Division and the Guards Tank Division left Moscow with Voroshilov and went to the Caucasus region.

After receiving the order, Timoshenko led a small number of key officers and guards to protrude northward from the encirclement that had not yet been completely closed, and soon changed to fly to Chelyabinsk, an important town in the Ural Mountains, to form a Army of the Urals.According to the plan, the strength of this front army will come from the Siberian front army that retreated to the Ural Mountains after being defeated by Blyukher.

At the same time, the materials and personnel evacuated from Moscow, after a short stay in Kuibyshev, started a long-distance journey again...

Of course, all of this work was carried out under extremely confidential circumstances.On the surface, the Soviet propaganda machine is still desperately shouting the slogan of defending Moscow. Military parades are held on Red Square every day. After being inspected by Stalin and the Soviet high-level, one after another Red Army troops directly drove into Moscow. Fortifications around the city await the coming bloody battle!

Chapter 0773 The Sunset of the Soviet Empire ([-]) The Farce Underground of the Kremlin

General Zhukov undoubtedly possesses amazing intelligence and outstanding military command ability, which has long been verified by history, although there is only one person who knows this fact in this time and space!That was Marshal Luo Yaoguo who was far away in Wuhan.When he heard that General Zhukov had become the chief of staff of the Red Army, he really expected that the Red God of War would perform beyond imagination in the closing performance of the Soviet Empire—of course, this was purely a military strategist’s performance against a Good opponents sympathize with each other.

Now, Luo Yaoguo is standing in a war room in his General Staff Headquarters, slowly pacing around a huge electric sand table. Natalie Lesinskaia is riding on a chair, staring wide-eyed Looking at his man curiously.For a whole afternoon, this guy didn't care about anything serious. He just fiddled with all kinds of small models representing troops on the sand table showing the topography of the western Soviet Union, like a child playing with his favorite toys. Could it be that he Thinking of the upcoming battle for Moscow as a game?

As the chief of staff of the Chinese National Defense Force for many years, Luo Yaoguo unconsciously developed the habit of making bold assumptions and thinking about problems from the standpoint of an enemy military strategist planning and commanding operations.Now, he is deducing the progress of the defense of Moscow from Zhukov's standpoint.This is not because the war requires him to do so, but purely as a personal preference... In fact, Luo Yaoguo felt that in the next battle in Moscow, General von Bobo, the commander-in-chief of the German Army on the Eastern Front, would definitely be able to defeat Zhukov.It's not because von Bobo's military command art is higher than Zhukov's, it's because the cards in von Bobo's hands are really good, but Zhukov has a pair of bad cards that he can't win no matter how he plays!

Faced with this stinky card, how would Zhukov play it?The intention of the Fascist German High Command is clearly there.They are now divided into two groups, one is the armored group commanded by Guderian. Their task is to cooperate with the White Russian army commanded by Tukhachevsky to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Red Army-the Northwest Front, which has just been defeated in the Battle of Tver. Now we are staying in the Torjok area.

The other German army is the main force of the Eastern Front German army commanded by General von Bobo. Although this army is not equipped with strong armored forces and the degree of mechanization is not high, it is basically an army of horse-drawn cannons, but their number But it is very amazing, with a total force of nearly 200 million people!This army began to cross the Soviet-German border on May 5 and began to attack various cities that had been fortified under Stalin's order.They patiently surrounded the fortress cities such as Smolensk, Bryansk, Kurchatov, and Belgorod one by one, and then with the support of more than 3 large-caliber artillery and three or four thousand aircraft Attack.Then there are the heroic deeds of communist fighters, wiped out in epic battles... Under the overwhelming strength and firepower, the resistance of the Soviet Red Army can only delay the enemy's attack, not defeat them.If it were October 1, perhaps this delay would still make sense, but it is a pity that it is only the end of May, and Grandpa Winter is still napping in the Arctic Ocean, and it is impossible to rescue these heroic Bolsheviks.

Luo Yaoguo felt that the current situation of the Soviet Army was completely broken, and it was hopeless!The Northwest Front's 100 million men (actually only 90) will be wiped out by the end of June at the latest, when von Bolog's army will approach Moscow from the west and southwest.Guderian's armored forces may come to an interspersed siege, go around to the east of Moscow, and cut off the connection between the city and the Soviet rear.At the same time, the 6 million Belarusian troops commanded by Tukhachevsky will approach from the northwest of Moscow.By the beginning of July, Moscow will be surrounded by the armies of Fascist Germany and Tsarist Russia, and then they will have four months to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army entrenched in Moscow... Maybe even persuade them to surrender!The status of the Romanov dynasty in the minds of Russians and the status of the Manchu dynasty in the minds of Chinese people are completely incomparable!

But in the face of such a situation, what would Zhukov do?And how was he going to defend Moscow?Moreover, Stalin has declared more than once during this period that he will stay in Moscow and fight to the end... Is that true?

Thinking of this, he glanced back at Natalie. "Natalie, do you think Stalin will fight to the end in Moscow?"

"Who? Stalin?" Natalie smiled disdainfully, "He is not a fool! He will only let Moscow fight to the end, and then escape quietly by himself."
