"I've never looked forward to rain so much, I don't like rainy days, but now I've changed my preference." Khrushchev stood by the window, watched the rain outside hit the glass in front of him, and said to his secretary.

The rainy day was definitely a thankful weather for the Soviet Union, not only the field troops could take advantage of this weather to counterattack, but his troops could also take the opportunity to recapture some of the lost neighborhoods.

Moscow is a very large city, and its urban area is divided by rivers and is complicated to the point of headaches.

The Germans were reluctant to attack too quickly when the weather was fine, let alone the current ghost weather.

Anyway, most of the German soldiers would have taken refuge in tents or buildings, and it would have been easier for the Soviets to counterattack.

Although the damage was still huge, they recaptured at least some blocks. After the recapture of these neighborhoods, German shelling became scarce.

Originally, there were not many artillery pieces placed close to the front line, and the Soviet counterattack captured several German 150 old heavy guns, which were used to shell the center of Moscow.

A few pieces of artillery were blown up by the German sappers when they retreated, so this time the Soviet counterattack was quite fruitful.

There were not many battles in which German weapons and equipment were captured, so this time Khrushchev gave a good compliment to the troops who counterattacked.

He promoted all these troops to the rank of Guards, and then sent congratulatory telegrams to Chelyabinsk and Stalin on the road with the content of the victory of the counterattack.

"We are replenishing the new 4 Guards Infantry Corps with new recruits, these 4 corps have suffered a lot of losses and need to rest." Khrushchev's secretary did not speak, but Konev, who was standing aside, broke a basin of cold water.

The counterattack cost his troops 10,000 men, most of whom were staunch patriots, and a large part of them veterans.

These losses cannot be replenished in a short period of time, and losses are losses. Konev was not in favor of a counterattack, but Rokossovsky had already launched a counterattack on the southern front, and if he did not cooperate, it would be easy to make people think about it.

So he had no choice but to carry out a counterattack, and the result was such heavy losses - not only the German army was not good at fighting in the rain, but the Soviet Red Army was also not good at ......

Both sides fought for positions in the rain, and the losses were huge. However, Konev also managed to recapture two blocks, and the German shelling no longer affected the city center.

This is good news, after all, the impact of the non-stop shelling of the Kremlin and the vicinity of Red Square by the German army is too great.

Well, now the Germans were repulsed about a kilometer or so, and the vicinity of Red Square will not be raided by ordinary medium howitzers, and the artillery lost by the Germans should be honest for at least a few days.

"Aren't all the soldiers distributed? I've allocated 30,000 people these days! Khrushchev heard Konev's complaints, looked over and questioned.

Konev smiled bitterly and replied to Khrushchev: "The losses at the front can exceed 50,000 people in these days...... And there are too many veterans in the lost troops, and the training of recruits cannot keep up with the ...... at all"

Many of the troops that had just been drawn from the rear were recruits who had never fired a gun, and their training lasted less than a month, and they were simply unable to master the basic skills of combat.

"The 100,000 elites drawn by Comrade Stalin from the Far East are about to arrive! By that time, you'll have more reserves! Khrushchev had support in his hands and said with some disapproval.

It was no secret that Moscow would be reinforced, and even if the Germans had speculated and planned to do so, it was a matter of course that the Soviets would do so.

It's just that 100,000 troops were deployed, and the Soviet army did exceed the expectations of the German army. Li Le, the fake Führer, estimated that the first batch of troops drawn from the Soviet Union would have a maximum of 50,000 men.

Who knew that Stalin was really desperate and sent out 100,000 troops to make strategic arrangements for the German attack on Moscow.

It was precisely because of these 100,000 troops drawn from the Far East, and it was Zhukov who led and defeated the Japanese army, that Konev launched this counterattack without hesitation.

"Is there any news about the second batch of transferred troops?" As the saying goes, if you have the right not to use it, you will be invalid when it expires. Konev hoped to send as many troops to Moscow as possible while Stalin and Khrushchev could influence the Far East.

This is a complementary thing, and Stalin's influence can be continued as long as there are enough troops around Moscow.

And as long as Stalin's influence can continue, then it is possible to continue to draw troops from all over the country to fight in Moscow.

"The number of troops in the second batch is significantly smaller, still only 100,000 people! Moreover, the local situation reflects their objective situation, saying that one-third of them are recruits. At the mention of this, Khrushchev felt that he was not angry.

At the time of the first batch of troops, Stalin was still in Moscow. At that time, the Far East did not have the slightest reason, and directly transferred 100,000 elites to help Moscow.

As a result, the second time, Stalin was preparing to leave Moscow, so the troops were also flooded, and a third of the recruits came in.

What made Khrushchev feel that he had no face was that the order for the third batch of troops to support Moscow was given by Stalin when he was on the road.

The Far East pushed back and forth, and a total of 50,000 troops were sent on the train, and how many recruits didn't even bother to emphasize it......

There is even news that there are still some troops from Outer Mongolia here, and it can be imagined how poor the combat effectiveness is.

It is precisely for this reason that Khrushchev has so far been reluctant to propose the matter of sending troops from the Far East to Moscow.

He was really afraid, afraid that the bastards in the Far East would directly refuse and tear his face that was not very effective in the first place.

"It's not going to be easy." Konev didn't know about the third batch of troops yet, and at this time he heard that the second batch of troops were mixed with recruits, and his face was not too ugly.

The commander of the Moscow city defense, after thinking for a moment, said: "Before the weather clears, I will try to drive the Germans back to the vicinity of the suburbs......"

Before Khrushchev could rejoice, he said again in a dejecting manner: "But after the weather clears these recaptured blocks, I am ready to give up a tenth of them every day in a planned way!" ”

The third one will be served, and the other two may be a little late, so you can watch it tomorrow morning!
