Chapter 697: Defending Moscow (1)
Chapter 697
Although Su Junsheng also felt that this matter was very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do, just a week after the two couples got married, the German attack on Moscow began, hundreds of planes bombed Moscow every day, Moscow was almost bombed into ruins, of course, Su Junsheng had just set up a mock office of the German Führer, which was really bombed into ruins,
There were no air defense units around the birch forest, and the German planes were as if they were unmanned, and they could come whenever they wanted, and for the safety of the office staff, the office in the birch forest was no longer repaired, and all the office personnel were moved to an underground facility in the city to continue their work.
Even when each person ate two taels of bread a day, the work of this simulation office did not stop, and the work of the simulation office continued to provide Stalin and the Soviet Red Army with the direction of the German attack, the strength of the troops, and the order to attack a certain point, and sometimes the real estimate was quite accurate, and played a key role in the defense of Moscow.
By the end of September, the German troops in Moscow were attacking in large numbers. Having finally broken through the first line of defense of the Soviet Union, the fighters on the front line must keep Moscow, and if one more German soldier is killed, Moscow will be less dangerous.
At the end of September, when the Germans were at their most arrogant, the offensive was fierce, and it was difficult for the Soviet Red Army units to make progress. In the end, it was 1 little by little to retreat, and really exposed Moscow completely to the guns of the German army. It's too early.
On the second line of defense of Tula - Kaluga - Vyazma - Bere - Velizh, the Soviet troops put up stubborn resistance, and it was difficult for the enemy to push him further,
An army of all sides formed the strongest defensive position in Tula. The Germans made no progress for a month, and time proved that the stubborn resistance of this defensive position delayed the German attack on Moscow for at least a month. In the end, at the cost of more than 300,000 lives, they had to retreat, and the Germans broke through their lines.
Here the German army consumed nearly 200,000 troops, while the Soviet Red Army consumed more than 300,000 troops. In the end, the line was not held. Retreat 80 miles. The Germans advanced very quickly, biting their butts and following. Although the troops again carried out a small counterattack. It also advanced the position by more than 20 kilometers.
After losing two divisions, the troops retreated, and the Germans continued to pursue to the second line of defense of the Soviet Red Army, and with the support of the main forces, the Red Army launched a counterattack again, repelling the German offensive and containing the German offensive posture,
Two army groups in Kaluga. Due to the compactness of the position, the effective defensive methods, and the measures in place, the troops held on to the position and defended for three months without being broken through by the enemy. With the Red Army on both sides already retreating, they had to abandon their positions,
If the position is too prominent, the flanks will be unprotected, and there is a possibility that they will be divided and surrounded by enemy forces. In order to prevent this from happening again, the two armies had to retreat after holding out for three days. Reluctantly abandon their positions.
In Vyazma, the situation was much more serious and the losses were even more serious, and here the Soviet Red Army, which would have been concentrated, was almost 700,000. Prepare to give the Germans the hardest blow, prepare to block the 1.5 million men of the German army. In the end, it backfired, and the 700,000 Soviet Red Army was finally surrounded by the enemy.
Zhukov personally rushed to the front to command, urging the troops to move as soon as possible, and the troops always used various excuses to delay time. Zhukov was really anxious, and gave a death order: "If you don't retreat, I will shoot you," and finally they agreed to retreat quickly, but the retreat was too late. The pace of dismissal ended up being half a beat slower.
Only 80,000 people retreated, and 580,000 were captured by the Germans. There were still tens of thousands of people in the localities, who organized guerrillas and continued to insist on robbing the German fascists. It also played a certain role, but this incident was the most serious loss since the war with the Germans. However, Stalin did not shoot a commander because of this, it is true that the enemy's lightning tactics are really too fast to be prevented,
By November. By the end of November, Moscow had been surrounded on all four sides, and the enemy's defensive positions had been established in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and there were German troops on all sides. Moscow is at stake.
To this end, Stalin asked the two commanders of the command for the defense of Moscow: with two more fronts, do you think, it will be possible to hold Moscow? ”
Their answer, very cheerful, did not hesitate: "Comrade Stalin, hold Moscow?" That's impossible" they think that Stalin's questions are all so stupid, how can Moscow hold on?
Stalin was angry and immediately removed them from their posts and transferred Zhukov to take over as commander-in-chief of the defense of Moscow. At that time, Zhukov was commanding operations in Leningrad, and Zhukov was about to be conquered in Leningrad, and he was ordered to take on the heavy responsibility of defending Leningrad.
Zhukov did not live up to Stalin's hopes, and within a month of his arrival, he contained the general trend of the German offensive,
Just when Moscow was about to go to the Cold War, Stalin still called back and did not ask him to stop the battle of Moscow and resolutely prevent the enemy from sharing Moscow. Zhukov lived up to expectations and immediately organized. It was the Battle of Moscow.
In order to defend Moscow. Make sure nothing goes wrong. Zhukov still found Su Yongsheng? How can I break the enemy?
Three points are raised. One. The forces defending Moscow were equal in strength to the Germans. Second, SWAT air supremacy has not been weakened before. Su Jing must speak strongly about the air defense army. This is a large plane, and it is very important not to be able to enter Moscow to Dian Wei. So in the process of defending Moscow, the number of notices around Moscow should be kept at least above 1000.
As soon as possible, the airplane must be controlled in terms of air conditioning. Germany was regained. This is very important if you can bring back all the quality control. The state of war will be transmitted back immediately, and the defensive state can be changed to the offensive state.
Third, it is guaranteed that the people of the army will have something to eat. This is very important, if the goods are not available, Moscow may have someone to defend Beijing as long as there is food to eat.
I know this, and the third point is very important. Is this guaranteed? Zhukov thought it was difficult. In terms of food. Having a car and goods is easier said than done.
