The news that the Soviet army had recaptured Moscow also reached Japan. The news shocked the entire government and the public. People could not believe that the Germans, who had always been invincible, were driven out of Moscow by the Soviets. When did the Soviets become so powerful?
In particular, some generals of the Far East Front suddenly became confident that the Soviets could repel the Germans, and they defeated the Soviets and captured a large area of Soviet territory. Doesn't this mean that the Japanese army is invincible and the most powerful in the world?
A powerful army?
Many Japanese soldiers originally looked up to the Germans with disdain. They even felt that the Germans' combat effectiveness was only this. How could they compare to the invincible Imperial Japanese Army? These young Japanese soldiers raised their nostrils.
In the sky, when the Germans were mentioned, their original admiration turned into disdain, and the arrogance and arrogance of the Japanese fascists was clearly evident.
The news that the Germans were expelled from Moscow by the Soviets also reached Italy. When the proud Mussolini heard that the Germans had lost, he immediately showed a complicated expression on his face. On the one hand, Italy, as a little partner of Germany,
Germany sent a large number of troops during the war to invade the Soviet Union. However, in the eyes of the Germans, these troops had very low combat effectiveness, so they were only used for defense and logistics work. This made Mussolini very dissatisfied.
Mussolini had always dreamed of restoring the glory of the Roman Empire, but with the Germans around, he could only hide behind the Germans. Now that the myth of the Germans' invincibility was broken, Mussolini felt a sense of joy.
, he couldn't help but think that if the war situation was unfavorable, the Germans would definitely ask for reinforcements from Italy. At that time, he could bargain with the Germans and strive for greater benefits for Italy.
Meanwhile, Madrid, Spain.
Franco, the ruler of Spain, was also surprised when he heard the news that the Germans had been defeated in Moscow. Franco fell into deep thinking. He knew the fighting power of the Soviets and the Germans very well.
During the Spanish Civil War a few years ago, the Soviet Union supported the Spanish Communist Party against itself, while the Germans supported themselves. After several years of war, they finally unified Spain. When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union, they did not want to be in trouble.
Water, but the Germans had supported themselves, so they had no choice but to send a division of troops to participate in the German and Soviet attacks.
But now that the German offensive has been frustrated and the Soviets have shown strong war potential, it is necessary for them to consider restoring their status as a neutral country, withdrawing their troops from the Soviet Union, and no longer participating in the Soviet-German war.
After weighing the pros and cons, Franco finally made the decision to withdraw from the Soviet-German war and become a neutral country again.
Various countries had different reactions to the Soviet-German war. In Germany, the news of Moscow's setback was tightly blocked. Except for a few important figures such as Hitler, Goering and Goebbels, Germany did not know about this situation. Germany
Everyone believed that occupying Moscow was only a matter of time, and many people had even prepared fireworks for the celebration.
The German head of state was currently roaring angrily at his senior generals in Wolfsburg.
"Kruger, this coward and idiot, actually gave up on Moscow. This was an escape and irresponsibility to the Third Reich!"
Dönitz on the side said: "My head of state, I have read the battle report. I think Kruger has done his best. In this case, retreat is the best choice."
Dönitz was a general whom the German head of state trusted very much, and the German head of state could still listen to his words. After listening to Dönitz's words, the German head of state suddenly became discouraged, but then he mustered up the courage to say: "The direction of Moscow must be certain."
We must counterattack! We must not retreat like this!"
Dönitz said: "My Führer, we have sent the most loyal and most combat-effective SS Totenkopf Division to the Moko front. Now the Totenkopf Division has arrived in Smolensk to rest and recuperate, and it won't take long to join.
Attack, with the Skeleton Division, the situation in the Moscow direction will definitely turn around."
SS Skeleton Division?
The German head of state suddenly remembered that this Skeleton Division was his most proud unit. Everyone was extremely loyal to him and had strong combat effectiveness. Although the combat effectiveness of the SS was generally not high, the Skeleton Division was an anomaly. As long as
A battle involving the Skeleton Division has never failed.
Thinking of this, the German head of state said: "Very good, with the Skeleton Division here, I feel at ease. In the next battle, we will definitely be able to capture Moscow!"
The German head of state slammed his fist on the table...
Moscow, Kremlin, Zhukov's bedroom. Since the defense of Moscow, Zhukov has not had a good sleep for more than a month. Now, he finally fell asleep without any distractions. This sleep lasted ten hours.
, Zhukov still showed no sign of waking up, and he was snoring loudly in the bedroom.
Outside the door, Feiklenko came over. The guard at the door stopped Feiklenko and said: "Comrade Zhukov is resting, so don't disturb him."
Feiklenko looked at the time and said: "Sometimes there are new situations, and I must report to Comrade Zhukov."
"Feklenko, are you?" Zhukov's voice came from the room.
Feiklenko opened the door, walked into the room and said to Zhukov: "Comrade Zhukov, according to the latest news, the German army has transferred the SS Skeleton Division to Moscow. This division has now arrived in Smolensk to rest.
It is estimated that it won't be long before we are on the front line in Moscow.
Moreover, the German special forces continued to attack our army's logistics supply lines outside Moss, causing great losses to our army. Today alone, we had a train transporting ammunition and 20 cars transporting food were bombed.
destroy."
Zhukov stood up quickly and said: "This is very important news. Go and call Comrade Xu Rui."
"yes!"
After a while, Xu Rui came to Zhukov's office. After a night's rest, Zhukov's eyes looked very bright. He said to Xu Rui: "Comrade Xu Rui, thanks to the heroic performance of you and Langya, we finally drove the Germans out."
Moscow, but now a new situation has emerged. The German special forces have begun to attack our army's logistics supply lines everywhere, and the Skeleton Division, the most powerful combat force in the SS, has arrived in Smolensk and will soon join Moscow's offensive.
, our situation is still very difficult."
Xu Rui said: "Leave the German special forces to us, Wolf Fang."
Zhukov laughed when he heard this and said: "To deal with the German special forces, Langya is the only one to deal with. Comrade Xu Rui, I hope you and Langya will make new achievements again!"
Xu Rui said: "I will definitely do what I promised you. Comrade Stalin wrote a letter of guarantee."
Zhukov's smile froze on his face, replaced by a look of helplessness.
Xu Rui left Zhukov's office, returned to the Langya station, gathered all the Langyas, and said: "Comrades, we have something to do again!"
A burst of cheers immediately erupted from Langya's team, and he called Donkey and asked: "Captain, where are we going this time?"
Xu Rui said: "The German special forces have been dispatched again, destroying the Soviet logistics supply lines everywhere. Our mission is to protect the Soviet supply lines and repel the German special forces."
Han Feng said: "Commander, the Soviet supply line is so long and scattered, where can we find the German special forces? The probability is too small."
Xu Rui took out the map and called Leng Tiefeng, Han Feng, Zhuanshanbao, Miao Donkey, and Yu Bican over. Then he pointed at the map and said that the Soviet army's logistics supply line was very long and scattered, but the actions of the German special forces were very effective.
Regularity, these areas marked with blue arrows are where the Germans have appeared. Do you see any patterns?"
Several people watched it for a long time, then called the donkey and said: "Captain, there are so many arrows in this group, how can you see any pattern?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "It seems that the closer you are to Moscow, the more blue arrows there are."
"Not bad, let's see, what other patterns are there?" Xu Rui said.
"The German activities on this black line are particularly concentrated," Han Feng said.
Xu Rui said: "The answer is correct. This black line is the Soviet railway line. In other words, the actions of the German special forces are carried out around Moscow and the railway line."
Calling Donkey looked at the map and said: "Don't tell me, this is really the case. The Germans' main area of activity is near the railway line in Moscow."
Xu Rui said: "Look again, what are the other characteristics of the German special forces?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "The Germans have more activities in the south of Moscow."
"Yes, this shows that the German army's main attack direction is the south, and it is mainly on the railway line near Konev Station. Therefore, as long as we operate along the railway line in southern Moscow, there is a high chance that we can encounter German special forces.
.”
He called the donkey and said: "Captain, you are so awesome. You can see so many things with just this map. I am convinced by you."
Xu Rui said: "You have to use your brain more in everything. As long as you think about it seriously, you will be able to see many different things."
Xu Rui continued: "The freight traffic at Konev Railway Station is very large. Obviously, the Germans also saw this, so they carried out multiple attacks on the Soviet traffic lines near Konev Railway Station, which gave
If we have a chance to fight with the German special forces, I am going to lay out a plan here to let the German special forces take the initiative."
"Hey, commander, are you planning to set a trap for the Germans again?" Barking Donkey said with a smile.
"Of course, the German special forces cannot escape my grasp." Xu Rui said.
"Commander, what you said is very easy. Will the German special forces be fooled by us?" asked the donkey.
Xu Rui said: "Just wait, there will be a good show soon. This time, I want the German special forces to steal the chicken but lose the rice!"
