Dietrich commanding Adolf? On the morning of June 2, the Panzer Division of Hitler's Guard Banner saw black smoke rising from the horizon.

From the north, they were responsible for the offensive in the direction of Moscow, and by this time they had advanced to the vicinity of the Ivankov reservoir.

It was not far from Moscow, and there were quite few Soviet ground troops guarding the reservoir, which was not enough to hold off the attack of the German panzer divisions.

Under these circumstances, Dietrich felt that he could attack the city of Moscow by mid-June and encircle the northern part of Moscow.

Behind his Panzer Division was the Skeleton Division, which had not yet fully formed its Panzer Corps and was only a mechanized grenadier division.

Theodore? Ike was the commander of this division, and behind them, the main force of Army Group North, was personally commanded by Field Marshal Loeb.

"Sir, do you see the black plume of smoke over there? That's burning Moscow! A guide pointed to the black smoke in the distance and explained to Dietrich, who was standing on an armored vehicle inspecting his troops.

Dietrich picked up his binoculars and looked in the direction of the black smoke. He is now only one step away from Moscow, and there is actually no obstacle in front of him.

"The troops of the 2nd battalion of the regiment are attacking in a roundabout way to the east, they have not encountered a large number of Soviet troops, and they can reach the intended position before dark." An officer came over with a telegram and reported to Dietrich.

"The troops of the 1st Battalion have already begun to rest, and they will leave in an hour to move behind the 2nd Battalion." The chief of staff, who knew the location of his troops well, added.

As he spoke, he pointed to the map on the desk laid out in the armored car: "The regimental headquarters of the 1st Regiment and the 3rd Battalion are close behind, and then our division headquarters and the divisional artillery units. ”

"According to the reconnaissance troops, the Soviets have built a simple line of defense between Dubna and Kimre, they do not have much heavy firepower, so the line is very fragile." The commander of the reconnaissance unit opened his mouth to report the latest findings.

As he spoke, he gestured his finger between Dubna and Kimre, indicating the approximate length of the defensive line: "There is no sign that the Soviets have thrown a large number of troops into the north, and the air force reconnaissance planes have not made any notable discoveries. ”

Dietrich nodded, the 1st Regiment could bypass the reservoir and continue eastward, as long as they broke through the weak Soviet defense line there, they could be killed on the outskirts of Moscow the day after tomorrow.

When they really take the northern outskirts of Moscow, then Moscow will be besieged on three sides.

A city is besieged on two sides and on three sides, and it is completely in two defensive states. Once the enemy has surrounded three sides, it is possible for them to form an encirclement at any time.

This is very dangerous for the defense of a city, especially a city as huge as Moscow.

"I heard that the supply of fuel has been reduced recently, and I heard that it is because the rear is building roads, and the engineering units have used new road construction machinery and brought it from China." The chief of staff brought up the reduction in fuel with some complaints.

As the vanguard of the whole army, the armored division of the Führer's Guard Banner Corps can only distribute the required 90 percent of the supplies every day, which is about the minimum in a combat situation.

If it weren't for the vulnerability of the Soviet army in the front, the German troops might have to retreat to ensure that their supplies could arrive on time.

"It doesn't matter, our ammunition consumption is not fast now, and the minimum supply of 90 percent can still ensure the normal operation of the troops." Dietrich said, waving his hand.

In fact, most of the German troops did not have access to the full supply of supplies, and most of the troops could only get about 70 percent, and there were even only basic supplies of daily necessities.

Too few transport routes and too little capacity were the most important problems restricting German supplies. This problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, so there is no talk of improvement.

During the war, especially when the losses on the front line increased, Germany produced two cars, and the front line had to scrap and paralyze and repair one, and the number could only increase slowly, and there could be no qualitative improvement.

After giving the order, Dietrich jumped out of his armored car, pinched his gloves and dusted off his body, and muttered in a low voice: "Moscow, I'm coming!" ”

……

"Whew!" Burning buildings are inaccessible, and crumbling buildings one after another make the whole of Moscow look as bleak as the end of the world.

Khrushchev walked out of the basement and looked at a huge crater on Red Square nearby, and his face was hard to see.

"Shot down several enemy bombers, but unfortunately our air force equipment could not keep up with the enemy and could not participate in the battle." One of the generals took the plunge and reported to Khrushchev on the results of the air defense battle.

The I-16 fighter cannot fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters to fight, and even if it does not fly to this altitude reluctantly, it will not be able to do any maneuvering maneuvers at all.

Fighter jets are like targets, at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, they are basically unable to dodge the dense self-defense artillery on top of the bombers.

"All the fire brigades have been dispatched, and it is expected that the fire in the city will be extinguished in three days." The general swallowed a mouthful of spit and said to Khrushchev.

Khrushchev looked away from the huge crater, looked at several other craters, and finally said: "What good news. ”

"From this day on, the Germans will bomb this place a lot, destroying everything here." He clenched his fists and said hatefully, "What do you want me to do?" Watching the capital destroyed? ”

There was no time for anti-aircraft artillery to prepare, and the Germans would fly over the bombing zone of Moscow in less than two minutes after crossing the Line of Actual Control between the two sides.

What is even more tragic is that after a large-scale bombardment, Moscow's air defense forces found that they seemed to be powerful, but in fact they were not able to fully defend themselves against enemy bombardment.

"Unless we deploy anti-aircraft artillery of a larger caliber, we will not be able to drive out German aircraft with 85 mm anti-aircraft guns." The more the general talked, the more he became single, and simply told the truth.

Khrushchev glanced at him: anti-aircraft guns of a larger caliber? Kidding it out? Now all artillery produced in the rear is on a fixed plan, how can it be so easy to increase production?

"Extinguish the fires in the city as soon as possible! Civilians are housed in bomb shelters. Order the soldiers to hold their ground! Don't take a step back! Khrushchev gritted his teeth and gave an order.
