"What do you say? Comrade Stalin was hit by an air strike in Vladimir? Khrushchev frowned, listening to his adjutant introduce the latest news.

When he got this news, Khrushchev felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly, he had just sent Stalin away and taken command of the forces near Moscow, and the result was such a thing......

If Stalin really pursues it, he will be implicated in this kind of thing.

If you think about it on a more painful side, if Stalin comes back, when he comes back to Moscow, won't he be subservient again?

Khrushchev was never a man willing to submit to others, and Stalin's strength forced him to choose to give in, but that was not the state he wanted.

Now that Stalin had finally left, leaving a Moscow that was almost impossible to hold to Khrushchev, it was as if he had been given a new lease of life.

But if Stalin returned, then he, Khrushchev, would have to do his bidding. What is even more terrifying is that this time Stalin returned, with anger and suspicion.

"Is Comrade Stalin coming back?" He looked up a little helplessly, looked at his adjutant and asked.

The adjutant shook his head and replied: "The news from the Vladimir side, Comrade Stalin's insistence on leaving there, has no longer been communicated to us. ”

This would be a blatant distrust, and if Stalin had been distrustful of the remaining officials in Moscow, things would have been a bit more difficult.

Even if the war is won, the settlement of this bombing issue in the future will be enough for Khrushchev and other relevant officials to drink.

"I see......" Khrushchev said depressedly, and then stopped talking about this topic.

Since Stalin had decided to leave Vladimir, it meant that he would not return to Moscow.

Khrushchev thought very simply, even if Stalin wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, but he had to wait until the autumn, didn't he?

The current German forces had no intention of leaving Khrushchev with any chance, they were storming Moscow.

German shells were now very easy to land on the cities of Moscow, the streets and alleys were now shelled, and the entire western part of the city became a battlefield.

"Leave the rest of the matter alone, let's talk about the defense line! I want to hear the result of our counterattack last night, and now for it! Khrushchev looked at each other and asked about the topics he was most interested in.

The adjutant took out one from the stack of documents in his hand and handed it to Khrushchev: "Our loss report, probably more than 700 soldiers killed!" ”

This loss is already very huge, if they lose 700 people a day, it means that they will have to scrap a regiment of troops in one night.

A division can hold out for three days, and an army with 10 divisions can barely hold out for a month......

Although he calculated it in this way, Khrushchev did not feel that he had lost much, and he even thought it was very good.

According to this calculation, as long as he takes out 200,000 people, he can hold out for about 6 months, even if it is accompanied by the collapse of 600,000 people, he will consume it.

With a loss of 600,000 to ensure that Moscow can hold out until November in winter, it is simply the result of making Khrushchev wake up with a smile in his dreams.

However, this was not a simple numbers game - this was only the losses of the night counterattack, and did not include the number of troops lost during the day, and the total number of troops routed by the Germans.

In fact, in the two days of the German attack on Moscow, the Germans had already crushed almost 20,000 Soviet troops and incapacitated another 30,000.

In this way, Khrushchev's situation became less optimistic: his million-strong army was only enough to lose 100 days, and Moscow would change hands in August.

"How many positions have been recaptured?" Khrushchev rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers a little depressed, and opened his mouth to question.

The adjutant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied stubbornly: "The Germans repelled the attack of our troops, and we were not able to recapture the built-up areas on the outskirts. ”

This answer made Khrushchev even more depressed - the day before yesterday his counterattack had recaptured some areas of buildings, but now his counterattack was no longer effective.

"When will the 2nd Guards Tank Division on the Ryazan side, as well as the combat units under Rokossovsky, begin to counterattack?" Khrushchev could only pin his hopes on the counterattack of the flank troops.

This is the defense of the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet army prepared for themselves, Rokossovsky cluster under the command of 100,000 elite troops, as well as more than 1,000 tanks, enough to carry out a counterattack on the German flank.

As soon as his counterattack began, the German flanks were under pressure and had to divide their forces to the rescue, and the attack in the direction of Moscow would stop.

If his counterattack could be successful, it was even possible that the Germans would be forced to abandon their positions near Moscow and retreat in the direction of Smolensk.

Once this strategic objective had been accomplished, the German battle plan to occupy Moscow would have been a complete failure.

"They are organizing troops and waiting for the weather to deteriorate." The adjutant looked at the report sent by Rokossovsky and replied.

Because there was no air supremacy, the Soviet flank attack could only be launched under dark clouds or rainy weather.

So what Rokossovsky was waiting for, was a bad weather. On a clear day, the German air force was too powerful to become a mortal threat to the Soviet armored forces.

"Air Force idiots! I really want to shoot a few commanders so that they can seriously think about the price of being cowards! When Khrushchev heard the word bad weather, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

The Air Force now does not dare to attack, and what is even more pitiful is that they cannot even build a complete air defense system.

Although the Soviet Union is also actively engaged in the development and production of radar, and has also asked the United States for radar technology and equipment, it is really not possible for them to establish an effective radar air defense network.

In fact, even Li Le, the head of state who attached so much importance to radar, was not able to make Germany's radar cover the entire Third Reich.

The Soviets were even worse in this regard, not only did they not have radar to guide ground planes, but they also did not have advanced fighter jets to compete with the Luftwaffe for air supremacy.

Anyway, in the skies over the Soviet-German battlefield in 1941, only the Luftwaffe was visible, and it was rare to see the fighters of the Soviet Air Force taking off for battle.
