"Dear, we are waiting for you." His wife said in her ear.
"Father, you must come back alive..." the son said.
"Dear, I'm back..." Clayderman murmured to himself. At this moment, everything around him seemed to be quiet...
"Snapped!"
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and Clayderman stopped breathing.
With Kreidman's death, the entire German infantry regiment that came for reinforcements was in chaos. The tanks of Xu Rui's armored assault force did not get too close, but only used artillery fire to attack the Germans within the range of the tank guns.
Hundreds of tanks attacked simultaneously, overturning almost all German vehicles.
Clayderman's infantry regiment collapsed within a moment.
After defeating the German reinforcements, Xu Rui once again turned around with his tank and headed towards the Kremlin, destroying everything along the way and completely defeating the defeated troops of the 50th Division. Within an hour, Xu Rui's tank troops and Beloborodo's troops
The rendezvous, so far, also heralded the complete collapse of the German 50th Division. The Soviet army recovered all the positions lost on the southern front in the previous few days overnight. The crisis on the southern front was finally resolved.
Xu Rui once again took Leng Tiefeng back to the Kremlin to meet Zhukov. Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, this time we have won the battle. I don't know what Zhukov will think."
Xu Rui said: "I just want Zhukov to know that without me, Xu Rui, he can't win the battle. With me, Xu Rui, he can win no matter what the fight is. Only in this way can the conditions we propose make sense and the Soviets can go."
Keep your agreement with us."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Lao Xu, what are you going to do next?"
Xu Rui said: "Since the Soviets have agreed to all my conditions, I will do my best to help the Soviets repel the Germans without saying anything. I am not the kind of person who only eats meat and does not work."
At that moment, the two men arrived at the Soviet headquarters in the Kremlin and met Feiklenko. Feiklenko quickly took Xu Rui and Tiefeng to the war room to meet Zhukov.
At this time, Zhukov was very pleased when he heard that the German troops on the southern front had been defeated by Xu Rui's armored assault troops and that the Soviet troops had retaken the lost positions, but at the same time he had a sour feeling. Facts have proved that the entire Soviet army was
, the only one who can really defeat the Germans is Xu Rui. Thinking of the harsh conditions put forward by Xu Rui, Zhukov felt very angry, but he was angry. Apart from Xu Rui, he really had no other way to defeat the Germans.
, therefore, if the tooth is knocked out, it can only be swallowed in the stomach.
Seeing Xu Rui coming, Zhukov had mixed emotions, including happy and angry. In the end, he put away his temper and said to Xu Rui: "Comrade Xu Rui, you fought this battle."
very good."
Zhukov deliberately repeated the word "very good" with great force, which contained too much emotion. Of course Xu Rui could hear it and said: "Comrade Zhukov, the war situation on the southern front has stabilized now. The German army may be in danger for a while.
They can no longer attack us, so what I mean is to take the initiative, repel the German siege of Moscow in one fell swoop, and completely take Moscow back!"
Upon hearing this, Zhukov perked up and said, "Comrade Xu Rui, are you really sure you can repel the German troops besieging Moscow?"
Xu Rui said: "There is no absolute certainty in anything. If you are 60 or 70% sure, you can do it."
Zhukov said: "How sure are you?"
"Sixty percent." Xu Rui replied.
"Tell me about your plan." Zhukov's eyes flashed with excitement.
Xu Rui said: "We start from the western front, where the German army is the weakest. On the western front, there is the 1st Assault Group Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness of our army. On the contrary, the German army is the weakest on the western front. The German army is the weakest on the western front.
The Western Front is dominated by the 3rd Armored Group Army, which has no tank divisions. As long as the 3rd Armored Group Army is defeated, the German army on the Western Front will inevitably collapse."
Once we have defeated the German troops on the western front, we will then focus our efforts on the two southern fronts, and it will be possible to defeat all the German troops on the southern and northern fronts and drive the German troops out of Moscow."
Zhukov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, this is a huge plan. If possible, I hope you will command this war on the Western Front."
Xu Rui said: "No problem, I want to expand the scale of the armored assault force, use all the tanks on the Western Front, and use the assault capabilities of the tanks to penetrate the German defenses on the Western Front in one fell swoop. If you trust me
, I will go to the Western Front to personally command this battle."
Zhukov said: "Of course I believe you, Comrade Xu Rui, I will immediately gather all the tanks in the army and hand them over to my armored assault force, under your command. At the same time, Kuznetsov's 3rd Army on the Western Front
The 1st Assault Army and General Rokossovsky’s 16th Army will fully cooperate with your actions and strive to defeat the German positions on the Western Front in one fell swoop and drive the German troops on the Western Front out of Moscow."
Xu Rui said: "If I launch an attack on the Western Front, after defeating the German army, the German troops on the two southern fronts will definitely come for reinforcements. Therefore, I require that our reinforcements must progress quickly. My armored assault troops are in
The passage must be opened in the front, and the positions on both wings must be occupied and consolidated in the rear until I divide the German army into two independent parts, north and south. In this way, the German army's southern front will not be connected to each other, which is conducive to our army's subsequent defeat."
When Zhukov heard this, his face was even more excited, and he said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you can do it with confidence and boldness. In order to support your actions, I will devote all three newly formed artillery divisions to the west."
Wire."
Xu Rui was happy after hearing this and said: "If this is the case, I can be 10% more sure."
Zhukov shook Xu Rui's big hand hard and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you are in charge of the war on the Western Front. Kuznetsov and Rokossovsky are fully cooperating with you. You can order their actions at any time."
.”
"yes!"
Xu Rui nodded and left the combat command room with Leng Tiefeng.
Looking at Xu Rui's retreating figure, Zhukov couldn't help but secretly think that maybe the deal with Xu Rui was not as loss-making as imagined. If Xu Rui was really able to turn the tide and repel the German Army Group Center in the direction of Moscow, then even if
It is worth paying a certain price.
After leaving the Kremlin, Leng Tiefeng asked Xu Rui: "Old Xu, it seems that Zhukov believes in you so much that he actually handed the entire Western Front into your hands."
Xu Rui said: "Zhukov must believe in me, and I am his only hope to repel the German army."
"Are you so confident?" Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, as long as I, Xu Rui, am here, there is nothing that cannot be done!"
Leng Tiefeng asked: "Do you need our Wolf Fang?"
Xu Rui said: "We won't be able to use Langya for the time being. In this kind of large-scale battle, Langya is of very little use. In order to avoid unnecessary losses to Langya, you should not join the battle yet."
"Okay, let Langya rest for a while. The brothers are very tired during this period."
"Well, veteran, take the wolf fang back to the camp and have a good rest. Sooner or later, I will be of use to you."
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng responded and left.
Xu Rui arrived outside the Kremlin and brought his armored assault troops to the Western Front in Moscow. At this time, although the German army was also on the offensive on the Western Front, the Kuznetsov Division of the 1st Assault Group Army guarding the Western Front was the center of the Soviet army.
The troops with the strongest combat effectiveness, so although the German offensive was very fierce, it was difficult to break through Kuznetsov's defense line for a while.
At the same time, Rokossovsky's 16th Army on the second line was also resting and reorganizing, ready to respond to the battle of the 1st Assault Army.
When Xu Rui led his armored assault troops to the Western Front, the German offensive had just been repelled, and Kuznetsov was deploying the next phase of the battle in the former headquarters.
Seeing Xu Rui coming, Kuznetsov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, you are here. I just received an order from Comrade Zhukov. My 1st Assault Group Army must obey your command and cooperate with your armored assault force."
action."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Kuznetsov, as long as we cooperate with each other, we will definitely be able to beat the Germans out of Moscow this time."
"Out of Moscow?" Kuznetsov was shocked. Now not only the Soviet troops on the western front are in a defensive posture, but the other Soviet troops on the northern and southern fronts are also on the defensive. It is not easy to counterattack, so Kuznetsov
My husband was skeptical of Xu Rui's words.
Xu Rui said: "This attack will be based on my armored assault force. Your troops only need to cooperate with me. In addition, we also have the assistance of artillery fire from three artillery divisions. We want to break through the defense line of the German 3rd Armored Group Army and
It’s not difficult.”
"What's so difficult?" Kuznetsov asked.
"The difficult thing is how to consolidate the position after breaking through the position of the German 3rd Armored Group. My armored assault troops can attack, but if they defend, they lose the biggest advantage. Therefore, after my troops have established their position, the 1st Assault
The group army must advance quickly, consolidate the positions won by our army in the shortest possible time, and cut off the connection between the German troops on the northern and southern fronts.
The German troops on the two southern fronts will definitely counterattack desperately to open up communication between them, so the 1st Assault Army will be under tremendous pressure."
Kuznetsov said: "The 1st Strike Group Army has a total of 8 infantry brigades, 12 ski battalions, a cannon regiment, and a tank battalion. That tank battalion has long been handed over to your armored assault force, and 12 ski battalions.
During this period of fighting, they were basically disabled. The cannon regiment suffered heavy losses from the German attack, so there were only 8 infantry brigades available. If you want to rely on these 8 infantry brigades to hold the position, your strength will be too thin.
Some."
Xu Rui said: "Now the 16th Group Army is resting behind you. After the attack, the 16th Group Army must participate and assist the 1st Assault Group Army in holding the positions captured by the armored assault troops."
