The rest of the battle went well, and with four rocket artillery battalions and an artillery regiment, Rokossovsky was like a tiger with wings and immediately launched an offensive in the Kraskopolyana area.

Krasko-Polyana is a small town northwest of Moscow, where 240 mm K3 long-range guns were deployed on the first day of German occupation.

THE GERMAN USED THE TECHNOLOGY OF A CONICAL GUN IN THIS LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY, WITH A BASE OF 240 MM AND A MUZZLE OF 180 MM, WHICH ALLOWED THE GUN TO BE EJECTED AT A HIGH SPEED, SO THAT THE FIRING RANGE COULD BE INCREASED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE...... It has a range of 37 kilometers and can be used to bomb Moscow, which is 27 kilometers away.

However, as Stalin said, this kind of bombing did not have much substance, because the Germans were already at the end of their crossbow at this time, and coupled with logistical difficulties, they simply did not have enough shells to bombard Moscow.

But von. Bock was not reconciled, he hoped to "reach" Moscow in this way, even if it was just a few shells to get in, maybe the Russians would be frightened by these shells and choose to surrender.

However, it was at this time that Rokossovsky launched an offensive against Red Polyana.

Rokossovsky developed a well-developed offensive plan.

He organized a number of T26 and KV tanks for the assault on Red Polyana, and the first batch of them were fully committed.

As the saying goes, "if you can't let the child trap the wolf", Rokossovsky knew that if he didn't do this, he would not be able to lure the German armored regiment out of the town to fight the Soviet army.

Sure enough, the Germans were soon fooled, and their tanks drove out of the town one by one and lined up in an offensive formation to confront the Soviet troops.

The Germans were quite confident of winning such a tank battle, especially since the opponents were only T26 and KV tanks.

But what the Germans did not expect was that the Soviets did not intend to fight a tank battle with them at all.

I only heard a strange roar of "whoosh", and a piece of rockets flew towards the German tank formation, and then only heard a "rumbling" explosion, and before the German army could react, the tank troops were covered by flames and smoke.

At this time, the Soviets really began to attack, and after hearing a shout of "Ula", the Soviets rushed into the town of Red Polyana and successfully recovered it.

The news soon reached Feng. Bockna, von Bock sighed and was silent.

"Marshal!" The adjutant said: "I will have them take back the Red Polyana at once!" ”

Feng. Bock shook his head weakly: "Our troops have been exhausted from fighting for several months, and the cold climate here is a severe test for them, and more importantly, ...... The enemy's resistance has grown stronger and stronger, and even if we retake Red Polyana, it will be useless! ”

"Your Excellency, you mean ......"

"I think reinforcements from the Russians have arrived!" Feng. "We've lost our last chance! ”

If Stalin had heard about von. These words of Bock, he will definitely regret it.

Because just to force the Germans back from the Red Polyana, he scared the snake and let von. Bock sensed the danger and wanted to retreat.

If the Germans had retreated at this time, the losses might not have been significant, after all, the Germans were still on the offensive and the Soviet counteroffensive was not ready.

Therefore, even if the overall situation was unfavorable for the Germans, they could still retreat calmly and then build a line of defense 100 kilometers away, that is, at the first line of Soviet defense.

The problem was that Hitler was not willing to lose, or that he could not let go of this face...... He had already blown out the cowhide, thinking that the Germans would soon be able to take Moscow, and that they would announce it to the whole world.

The conceited Hitler, of course, did not allow the front-line troops to make a fool of himself in front of the whole world.

So, he rejected Feng without thinking about it. Bock's request for retreat.

"You're crazy to retreat at this time?!" Hitler said: "Moscow is at hand, it is only 30 kilometers away from you, it only takes a day...... No, in half a day, your tracks can tear down its walls, and we can't give up at this time! ”

"Your Excellency!" Feng. "The temperature here has dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius, many of our weapons have been frozen, the warriors' physical strength has reached the limit, and we have no strength to move forward, even if it is just ......one step," Bock said.

"No, I don't agree!" Hitler interrupted von . Bock's words: "It's only one step away, we've put in so much effort, we've been fighting for this moment for this moment, the advantage has always been with us, it was, it still is...... We only lost 500,000 men, while the Russians lost 5 million, which is ten times as many as ours, and if you don't have the strength to advance, it means that they also don't have the strength to defend! One more battle will take Moscow, this is the last moment! ”

"I don't think so, Your Excellency!" Feng. "Because in the battle of Red Polyana, the enemy used a lot of artillery, and I think their reinforcements have already arrived in Moscow......"

"They don't have any reinforcements at all!" Hitler interrupted von again. Bock's words: "That's a hypothetical thing they want you to see, and if you retreat at this point, you're in their hands!" ”

That's often what happens on the battlefield, and sometimes you can't tell who's justified and who's not, because both sides are speculative.

Feng. Bock thought that enemy reinforcements had arrived, and it was speculation.

Hitler dismissed this as a deceptive tactic, as well as speculation.

Speculation could not defeat speculation, so in the end it was only Hitler who had the upper hand.

There was also a small episode, when the commander-in-chief of the German army, Brauchitsch, personally rushed to the Central Cluster Command to inspect it, and he was convinced that it was impossible for the troops to continue the offensive, and that if the offensive continued would be tantamount to self-destruction, he secretly gave an order to retreat without Hitler's permission.

But the next day, when Hitler learned of the news, he immediately revoked the order and roared and gave the order to continue the offensive.

At the same time, Hitler also dismissed Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch from his post and had been trying to persuade Hitler to retreat. Bock was also removed from his post and replaced by Field Marshal Luger, commander of the Fourth Army.

"These bastards, these idiots!" Hitler burst into a rage: "Don't they see that victory is just around the corner?!" ”

Victory is indeed at hand, but there are two sides to everything, and the other side of victory is defeat, but Hitler did not realize this.

Perhaps, Hitler was already aware.

Because at this critical moment, changing the battle will be a taboo for soldiers, and he has changed several generals in a row, which in itself indicates failure.

It's just that Hitler was unwilling to admit this fact.
