After a military flag deduction with Xu Rui, the final result was that the Soviet army could completely hold Moscow, which surprised Zhukov, but at the same time, he felt a little happy.
Zhukov was secretly happy, but this joy disappeared in a flash, and he said: "Although the war game is like this, it is just something on paper. The German army has strong armor penetration capabilities, and its soldiers are of high quality, and their weapons are
The performance is better, and the combat effectiveness of the German special forces is far superior to that of the Soviet special forces. If there is a mistake in one link, we will lose everything."
Xu Rui said: "The German army has high quality soldiers and good weapons, but they have several fatal weaknesses."
Zhukov asked: "What's the weakness?"
"First, the number of German troops is not as large as that of the Red Army.
Secondly, the German blitzkrieg relies heavily on tanks, and tanks have very high requirements for fuel, engines, and logistical support. As long as we send troops to constantly harass and attack the German logistical supply lines, the German tanks will become
Into a pile of iron lumps.
Third, haha, although the German special forces are powerful, they are by no means a match for our Wolf Fang. With these three points, the German army will definitely fail!"
After hearing Xu Rui's words, Zhukov was very happy and breathed a long sigh of relief. This time he came to Moscow to command the battle. He was already prepared for the worst, but Xu Rui gave him hope of victory. Although it would take
It is not easy to achieve this victory, but at least we already have hope, and the Soviet Union already has hope.
"Comrade Xu Rui, how about a glass of vodka?" Zhukov said.
Xu Rui said: "Okay."
Zhukov asked someone to fetch a bottle of vodka, poured it into two glasses, handed one to Xu Rui, and then took a big gulp of the vodka, which was like drinking water, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
Xu Rui's eyes widened when he saw it, and he thought to himself that this is how the Soviets drank. How the hell is this drinking? This is just drinking water...
After a bumpy journey, Xu Rui brought Lang Ya to Moscow. At this time, the air in Moscow was extremely tense, and nearly a million reinforcements from all over the Soviet Union gathered in Moscow.
People throughout the city were mobilized, and even women and children also participated in labor, digging trenches and building fortifications in the Soviet-controlled areas. Because most men were in the army, three-quarters of those engaged in these manual labor were women.
In the winter, the construction was extremely difficult, but these women did not complain. The Soviet aunts used their generous bodies to support the backbone of the nation. The entire Soviet Union has reached its most dangerous moment, and everyone is doing their best to defend the country.
Divide your own strength.
At the same time, in view of the bleak prospects of the defense war in Moscow, many factories in Moscow are being demolished and shipped to the mainland. Even the body of the great leader Lenin has been moved away from the Red Square. People everywhere are panicked and no one believes that Moscow can defend it.
Stalin, the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Union, did not have much hope in holding Moscow. He only ordered Zhu Keshi and Chuikov to do everything possible to delay the German attack and buy time for the relocation of a large number of Moscow factories.
These factories will play a huge role in future wars. If preserved intact, they will be of great benefit to the long-term war against Germany.
The German attack on Moscow was very fierce, so when Zhukov, Xu Rui and his party got off the train, they could faintly hear the explosion of German shells in the distance.
The explosion of artillery shells can be heard in the city, which shows that the situation in Moscow City is extremely critical. Zhukov did not stop for a moment, and entered the city defense headquarters in Moscow with Xu Rui and others. Not long after entering the headquarters, he got
A piece of news, Pavlov is here.
When Zhukov heard this, his heart moved.
Zhukov knew Pavlov well. In the minds of the Soviet people, Pavlov and Zhukov were the strongest generals and two rising stars.
Pavlov and Zhukov were promoted to generals at the same time. However, Zhukov was famously irritable and easily contradicted his superiors, while Pavlov was more diplomatic. In terms of his behavior and the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Pavlov was also significantly more flexible.
Better than Zhukov.
In contrast, Stalin's expectations for Pavlov were much higher than Zhukov's at the same time.
However, as fate would have it, the German army made a lightning raid on the Soviet Union. The Southwest Front Army commanded by Pavlov was beaten to the point where it was unable to fight back. The nearly one million people in the entire Southwest Front Army were wiped out, and 500,000 Soviet troops were captured. With Stalin's temper
, Pavlov's end is destined to be tragic.
Zhukov sighed. He could already guess Pavlov's fate and decided to see his old colleague for the last time. So, in the war room, in the presence of Xu Rui, Zhukov met General Pavlov.
.
At first meeting, Zhukov almost didn't recognize Pavlov. The originally strong Pavlov was so thin that he was almost inhuman shape during the war. He lost his original appearance. He defended Zhukov: "The German army is too strong.
The superior command also made mistakes, which led to the total annihilation of the Southwest Front Army."
Zhukov looked at Pavlov with pity and said: "I will report your situation to Comrade Stalin."
When Pavlov heard this, his face was very ugly. He lowered his head and left the war room without saying a word.
Subsequently, Zhukov called Stalin, and Stalin said on the other end of the phone: "The situation of the Southwest Front must be clarified, and we must investigate who else has made serious mistakes besides Pavlov."
Putting down the phone, Zhukov let out a long sigh. He knew that Pavlov's fate was already doomed. Stalin's words had determined Pavlov's behavior. No one could save Pavlov. In a daze, Zhukov thought of himself.
, if the defense of Moscow fails, will he become the next Pavlov?
In fact, Zhukov's judgment was completely correct. Within a few days, Pavlov was shot at the same time as six other generals on the grounds of cowardice, inaction, lack of command ability, disrupting the command of the troops, and leaving the combat position without permission.
, Stalin wanted to scare all the defeated and fleeing officers and soldiers by killing one as a warning to others.
After dealing with Pavlov's affairs, Zhukov immediately threw himself into the role of commander of the Moscow defense battle, constantly issuing orders one after another. Diana translated some of Zhukov's orders to Xu Rui, who nodded while listening, and continued from
In Zhu Keshi's order, Xu Rui felt that Zhukov was an extremely outstanding commander. Everything was unfolding. It now depends on how the Germans will respond.
…
In Moscow, in an empty factory that has been relocated, a bonfire was burning, and a group of soldiers in Soviet military uniforms were sitting next to the bonfire.
Bill roasted the canned beef over the fire and took a sip of vodka from time to time.
Before the war, Bill had always maintained the habit of drinking German Valentine beer. However, not long after the war, Bill started drinking Soviet vodka. There was no other reason than that the weather in the Soviet Union was too cold and vodka could dispel the cold.
It's just cold.
Bill was a special forces soldier from Brandenburg who had made many military exploits for Germany. In Poland, he disguised himself as a mining worker and infiltrated the Polish border, thus providing an excuse for Germany to annex Poland.
In Belgium, he and more than 70 other special forces parachuted to the commanding heights of a fortress, and then captured more than 3,000 fortress defenders, allowing the German army to capture Belgium in one fell swoop.
This time, Bill was ordered to disguise himself as a Soviet soldier and sneak into the Soviet-controlled area of Moscow City in order to carry out a beheading operation.
"Damn weather!" Bill cursed in his heart. The winter in the Soviet Union was really too cold, much colder than that in Germany. The outdoor temperature now is minus 30 degrees Celsius, and every drop of water becomes a soldier. This makes all Germans
The soldiers suffered terribly.
Bill was already a second lieutenant and had a certain status in the special forces. However, at this time, he handed his roasted can of beef to the pale man next to him with a melancholy temperament.
The man ignored Bill at all, and just took a sip of the wine in the flask, then slowly closed his eyes, with a faint blush appearing on his pale face.
Bill didn't show any dissatisfaction and took the can back as if he was used to it.
Bill knew that although Captain August had a cold temperament, he did have real talent and learning. In the entire Brandenburg Special Forces, except for Commander Otto, no one was Captain August's opponent.
It can be said that Captain August is a god-like existence second only to Commander Otto among the Brandenburg Special Forces.
The reason why Captain August looked pale was because in the recent battle of Smolensk, Captain August was injured in a battle. It is said that the person who injured Captain August was a guard of the Soviet High Command.
A super sniper named Vasily has the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
However, with his excellent skills, Captain August still won the final victory in this peak showdown, successfully blowing the head of the sniper named Vasily. Under his leadership, the German special forces finally
Completely annihilated the Soviet high command guard and helped the Sixth Army successfully capture Smolensk.
This time, the goal of this dozen-member team led by Captain August was very clear, which was to find and destroy the Soviet command structure in Moscow.
In fact, the Brandenburg Special Forces sent five teams to carry out this beheading operation at the same time. The team led by August was just one of them. Bill knew that August did not want others to snatch it.
To achieve his own military exploits, he will definitely find the Soviet command headquarters before other teams and eliminate it.
Bill believed that if he really killed the Soviet headquarters in Moscow, all members of the team, including Captain August and himself, would definitely receive the Iron Cross, which would be the greatest compliment to everyone.
.
August still closed his eyes, but said: "We will act in twenty minutes."
