903 is isolated
"Damn Guderian! Damn Rokossovsky! Yegoryevsk is all lost! The Germans will be able to hit me behind in a few days! In the dimly lit conference room, Khrushchev yelled angrily.
In this underground anti-aircraft shelter-converted headquarters, the lights are very dark. Backward power generation technology and poor quality light bulbs make the poor brightness here touching.
To put it bluntly, the fuel for generators is also a strategic material, and it cannot be wasted easily. Khrushchev's office can still guarantee some, and the rest can be saved.
The vicinity of Red Square had already become the hardest hit area by German shelling, so Khrushchev did not have the slightest chance to go out.
The fact that he could only nest in this dim place every day gave Khrushchev himself a subtle change in his personality. Like Hitler in the last days, he became irritable and suspicious.
On the wall hangs a map of Moscow's city defenses, many of which have been marked with blue pens for German units and their numbers.
The city of Moscow was already incomplete, part of it had actually fallen into German hands, and these German-occupied areas were gradually expanding.
The loss of some blocks in the west of the city was not what Khrushchev feared most, but what he feared was that the whole of Moscow would be cut off from the outside world and encircled.
Fighting alone is a dead end, and this has been proven countless times. This was the case with Brest, which was under siege, and it was also the case with Leningrad and Minsk, which were under siege.
And Smolensk, which was also surrounded by the Germans and finally captured - there were so many cities that the Soviets surrounded and then captured that Khrushchev did not want Moscow to be next.
He took Moscow from Stalin, and in a matter of only a month, the city was about to be encircled by the Germans.
"Yegoryevsk simply could not hold out, the Germans had two armored divisions side by side, and Comrade Rokossovsky could not even make up 30 tanks." Konev reluctantly said a fair word.
If you want a horse to graze, you have to give it grass. Rokossovsky's troops are running out of supplies, and it is not easy to support them until now.
Naturally, the soldiers knew the hardships of leading the troops, and Rokossovsky exhausted his reserves in the rainy counterattack, and then did not get a decent supplement.
Guderian's tank was damaged three and could be replenished by two, and Rokossovsky's tank was damaged by three, and if he could get one to replenish, he would have to burn incense.
More often than not, Rokossovsky could not get a single tank replenishment. After Stalin left Moscow, Zhukov's side throttled most of the tanks produced in Stalingrad and Chelyabinsk.
Not to be outdone, Khrushchev snatched the KV-1 and T-26 tanks produced by some factories in the north.
The strange situation in reality is that Konev has more and more tanks in his hands, while Rokossovsky in the field has fewer and fewer tanks.
At its worst, Rokossovsky had only 27 working tanks, while Guderian's armored division opposite him had more than 200 tanks capable of participating in the attack.
Rokossovsky's demand for tank supplies was not met, and the tanks needed could be given only to anti-tank guns, or to replace the T-26 tanks with the T-34.
Under such circumstances, the Soviet army delayed the German offensive with the lives of its soldiers until mid-June, when it finally withdrew from the battle.
"Zhukov is not a good product either! He actually deducted 200 T-34 tanks from me! A full 200 cars! Khrushchev continued to shout in exasperation.
He didn't seem to hear Konev's justification for Rokossovsky, because there were so many people he didn't look down on now.
For example, the bastards of the Far Eastern Military District, after Stalin left, were not very obedient and did not send troops to support Moscow.
For example, the Chelyabinsk side also suspended the transfer of many materials to support the Moscow theater of operations on the grounds of building a new defensive line.
Stalin, who arrived at Stalingrad, also continued to dictate, and he gave Zhukov the power to transfer tanks produced by the Stalingrad tank factory, which also weakened the replenishment of Moscow.
So, in Khrushchev's heart, the person who most wanted to scold was not Rokossovsky, nor Guderian, but Stalin and a bunch of bastards in the rear.
"We must transfer some of our forces to support Rokossovsky and threaten the flanks of Guderian's cluster...... Konev was very sensible and gave his advice.
The Germans advanced too fast, they hadn't advanced so fast for a long time. It is quickly proven that there are loopholes, and it also proves that the foundation of the rear is unstable.
Take the opportunity to scare Guderian, maybe the other side will retreat and give up some places to relieve the pressure on Moscow.
"Fight back? Every time you plan a counterattack, it's just a bunch of casualties! Counterattack? Joke! Khrushchev snorted coldly, waved his hand and vetoed the proposal.
Konev also did not know whether his proposal would succeed, or how much it would cost to succeed, so he did not dare to insist on his opinion.
After all, Khrushchev was right, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Soviet counterattack does not seem to have succeeded once, except for casualties......
Rainy counterattacks left Rokossovsky without reserves, and yesterday's counterattack at the Spark Stadium left the Soviets with at least 500 more wounded.
"The plan for the withdrawal of civilians from Moscow has been completed by thirty percent, and counting the previously conscripted and dispersed ones, the task is almost half completed." An official in charge of the evacuation of civilians opened his mouth with good news.
Without these civilians, the city would have more food and fuel. This is the best news since Moscow became a front-line city.
"Our food reserves are not bad, save some, at least we can hold out until winter comes." This official is also a rare doer, he said.
His words were tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, Khrushchev calmed down somewhat, looked at everyone in the conference room, and said coldly: "Let the civilian army organize a counterattack!" ”
Even if he was sent to death, he had to let these civilians form an inexperienced civilian army to consume the German army's bullets.
In his opinion, let those civilian troops attack, not only save food and precious ammunition and fuel, but also consume the opponent's bullets and delay the opponent's attack, why not?
