After such a long period of fighting, the gap in strength between the German and Allied forces has gradually narrowed. Especially after winter, the Allied forces were unable to replenish their forces in time and lacked cold-resistant materials.

This resulted in large-scale non-combat attrition of the Allied forces, while the situation of the German army was slightly better in comparison. The German army had originally considered storming Moscow, and the German General Staff also considered the impact of winter on the battle.

Therefore, the German army was able to obtain a large amount of cold-proof materials in advance. This made the German army much stronger than the Allies in keeping out the cold. If it were not for the fact that after the German army entered Moscow, heavy firepower and bombing were no longer as effective as positional warfare, perhaps the Allied casualties would have been

will intensify.

But even so, the casualties of the Allied forces at this stage are extremely heavy. The casualties caused by the battle have reached as high as 250,000. The non-combat casualties are still tens of thousands.

This number is constantly increasing. If Zhukov can deliver the urgently needed supplies to Moscow in time, everything will be fine. If not, even if the Allied forces defend Moscow, they will pay an extremely heavy price.

How to fight has become a worry for all the Allied generals. Zhukov will still be a week away at the earliest, and Shui can't guarantee that he can still hold on to his original position within this week.

Although the Allied forces have tried their best to fight against the Soviet attack, the disparity in equipment, weather, firepower, etc. has forced them to temporarily fall into a disadvantage.

Whether it was Montgomery or Eisenhower, the first sentence in the telegram sent back to the country was: We need support, we need a lot of support! From soldiers to supplies. We need everything!

This is the situation in Moscow now. There is blood and snow everywhere, and the white snow has long lost its original color. The snow here is black.

Because of the smoke in the sky in Moscow. The blood here is also red because of the blood spilled all over the city.

The intensity of the battle left neither side with the time or opportunity to collect the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle. The remains of a large number of soldiers who died in the battle could be seen everywhere in Moscow, just thrown alive by the roadside.

When the German troops entered Moscow in the early days, the Allies still had time to collect the bodies of soldiers and bury them. But as the war continued to deepen, the Allies no longer had this time.

There are flames everywhere. Maybe when you drag the corpse of a comrade, a fatal bullet will be shot next to it. In the ruins all over Moscow, no one dares to say how many corpses are buried.

It was not mentioned in the official casualty report, but in fact there were a large number of missing personnel among the Allied forces. The number of these people was tens of thousands. And most of these people were not captured. Most of them were buried in

In those snow-covered ruins...

"Comrade Zhukov, we can't keep going like this! We have more than 3,000 comrades with frostbite now. If we continue like this, we may not reach Moscow. We will first lose our combat effectiveness due to frostbite and attrition!"

Pavel looked at the Soviet soldiers who were being carried down one after another. He lowered his head and said to Zhukov: "Now the number of casualties due to frostbite is increasing. If we keep going like this, I'm worried..."

"Even if our strength is reduced by more than half, we must rush to Moscow as quickly as possible!" Zhukov said with a livid face as he handed a telegram to Pavel.

The latter took the telegram, read it, and closed his eyes in pain.

This was a telegram from Moscow, in which Tukhachevsky described the miserable situation in Moscow to them.

The German army occupied more than 20% of the city area and 80% of the buildings were destroyed. The Allied forces suffered more than 250,000 battle losses and more than 50,000 non-combat casualties. More than 40,000 people were directly missing. All medicines are about to be exhausted.

…

Almost all artillery was destroyed, and anti-aircraft guns were forced to be used for sneak attacks or positional warfare. Even so, the Allies were unable to completely contain the German offensive.

Every day, the German army continued to contribute to the original Allied positions in Moscow. The Allied forces, lacking protection from the cold and medicine, had to fight the German army at a disadvantage...

"Comrade Pavel, do you think we can wait? Can Moscow wait?!" Zhukov looked ugly. He didn't know that such a march would lead to huge non-combat attrition.

But he had no other choice. If he did not arrive in Moscow as soon as possible, the situation of the entire Allied forces would be even more difficult.

"Okay...Comrade Zhukov, I will take the troops to the front to prepare ships first..." Pavel lowered his head and smiled miserably, and said to Zhukov: "As long as the large force arrives, I can guarantee that there will be enough ships for you to enter.

Moscow……"

Zhukov nodded. He knew that his partner could not tolerate a large number of non-combat attrition. But under such circumstances, he had to accept it.

Therefore, he could only choose to leave. Head to the river first to help the follow-up troops prepare ships.

Regarding how to enter Moscow, Zhukov and the staff have already made plans. The current temperature has not yet reached a level that would freeze the rivers in Moscow.

Therefore, Zhukov and the others can enter Moscow at night by ship. But there is a prerequisite: they must have enough ships to transport these supplies.

Moreover, this kind of operation can only be carried out at night. Once during the day, their whereabouts will be in danger of being exposed. And if their location is discovered by the German army, there is no doubt that the German army will encircle and suppress them.

An army of 80,000 people is neither more nor less. If the German army is determined to annihilate them, it will be difficult for these 80,000 troops to resist.

In Moscow today, the Allies and the Germans have gathered more than three million troops. With only 80,000 troops, it is a drop in the bucket to attack them.

At this time, in the German field hospital outside Moscow, Lundstedt was offering condolences to the wounded German soldiers in the hospital. The Allies were suffering from head injuries, and the Germans were actually not feeling well either.

The night attacks used by the Allies, especially the Soviet night attacks, caused great damage to the German army. This even caused the German army to not even light fires at night.

You were afraid that you would expose yourself and attract Soviet grenades and mortar shells. In the darkness, you could hardly tell where these were coming from. An explosion would be enough to kill all the soldiers warming themselves by the fire.

The German soldiers lying here were all wounded in this way during the early stages of entering Moscow.

"Don't worry, you will soon be able to return to Germany for temporary training. When you recover, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side!"

Lundstedt continued to comfort these German soldiers. These were German soldiers who had not been forced to have their limbs amputated. Although they were injured, they only needed to rest and they could continue to fight.

Those disabled German soldiers have been sent to the rear to recuperate after surgery. Because they have lost their combat capabilities, they will be sent back to Germany and arranged to work in factories.

"We will win the final victory, because we are Germany!" At the end of his visit to these German soldiers, Lundstedt used this sentence as a summary of his visit.

While he was visiting the German soldiers, the gunfire in Moscow was still roaring. Under the orders of Rundstedt and Bock, the German army began to storm the Allied strongholds regardless of casualties.

While shrinking their positions, the Allied forces continued to use explosives and booby traps, causing large-scale damage to the German troops.

In the snow, Lei Daxiang lurked quietly with his team. He could no longer remember how many people he had killed. In other words, he could not calculate how many people he and his team had killed.

Since the German army invaded Moscow, the No. 18 Commando has received orders from the General Staff. Let them assist the Allied forces in defense and do their best to kill and injure the German troops.

The Wehrmacht Staff conducted several simulations of the war situation in Moscow, but the results were not optimistic. Some of the large number of Soviet prisoners of war captured by the Germans were sent to mines for mining.

The other part is clearing the snow on the railway under the duress of bayonet.

This allowed the German military columns to drive towards Moscow one by one. Although the Soviet Union was also working hard, it did not have the convenience of the German army.

Due to the war, the Soviet Union has turned a large number of labor forces into active military forces. Almost all those left in the village are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and these people are simply unable to support large-scale cleaning work.

In desperation, Kalinin could only shut down some factories and devote manpower to clearing snow on the roads. There was no way. Without roads, all the supplies supported by the Allied forces would not be able to be sent in.

By then, the Soviet Union's situation will be even more troublesome. The Soviet Union's food reserves are not large, and it first needs to support the battlefield and put most of the labor force into active service, which makes the situation even worse.

"Bang!" The sniper puppy killed an exposed German sniper from a distance, then quickly slid down from the sniper position and crawled forward in concealment.

"Da da da..." As soon as the puppy slid down, he heard the constant roar of light gunshots behind him. The snow that had just been swept away from his hiding place was flying.

"The puppy performed well. This is already the one hundred and thirty-ninth time." Lei Daxiang nodded with satisfaction. The puppy grew very fast, and even surpassed his master in some aspects.

"Quick! Set up booby traps. Let's retreat to the next ruins." Lei Daxiang observed the German army's formation and said to the commandos around him: "Go around and don't be exposed! Quick!"

After receiving the order, the hidden commandos slipped out of their respective hiding places like loaches. Then they quietly evacuated backwards, while several soldiers at the rear bundled grenades and explosives together and buried them in one place.

The corner of the ruins.
