During this time, Zhukov went around putting out fires. First organized a counterattack on the Germans in the south-western direction, and later was transferred to Leningrad. Leningrad was just a little better, and was transferred back to the Western Front to form a reserve army. And now, there is a transfer back to Moscow to organize the defense of Moscow.

After the Japanese army attacked the Far East, Zhukov believed that the Japanese army could not afford to advance westward, and would go as far as Novosibirsk and would not reach the Urals, so he demanded that the Far Eastern army continue to move westward.

Originally, orders were issued, but with the victorious advance of the Japanese army, the political and political situation began to tend not to use the Far Eastern troops.

The political and political situation began to be discussed, and the controversy was very intense.

Zhukov was very anxious, the morale of the German army was heightened by the actions of the Japanese army, and the western Polish region seemed to think that the Soviet Union must be defeated, and some of the surrendered troops began to join the German army, either to counterattack the Soviet army, or to undertake logistics and transportation. This made the operation of the German army smooth.

Hearing that the Germans had arrived in the south of Moscow, Zhukov was shocked and personally drove to the south of Moscow to inspect the defense.

He was already extremely tired, and the pain of his old wounds was so constant that he could not sleep peacefully.

Because the original defense line was in the west, the south side was weak, and the east side had no defense line. Seeing this, Zhukovzhi felt a pang of disgust in his heart, and he felt that the sun in the sky was particularly dazzling, as if the sky had turned red.

Zhukov fainted on the forward position.

Zhukov was a special general. He has an extremely sensitive view of the overall situation and an extremely sensitive strategic view. He can take into account all the factors that affect the outcome of a battle, even the tiniest one. In addition, he can always turn the tide of war in a place in the face of adversity. He has a strong personality and can effectively deploy the army, and after effectively deploying the army, he can give great encouragement to the senior generals of the army, and even ordinary soldiers.

Wherever he goes, things change there. That is, wherever he went, Stalin's attention was already focused on that place.

His greatest characteristic is the courage to make decisions, bold and careful. The other generals may have been militarily stronger than Zhukov, but from Stalin's point of view, Zhukov was one of his hands. Stalin's trust is something that no one else can do.

Stalin used Zhukov's hand very powerfully, and he used it several times to good effect. This time, when I heard about Zhukov's condition, I was very surprised and came to visit the hospital in person.

The director of the hospital personally examined Zhukov. As soon as the results of the examination came out, Stalin came. Stalin was relieved by the results of the examination given by the dean. Zhukov's old wounds recurred, which led to headaches, neurasthenia, and prolonged exertion overdrew his energy and passed out.

The treatment plan is to treat conservatively first, as for the old wounds, they are caused by going into battle before they are completely healed last time, and they can only be treated after his physical strength has improved. Rest is the most fundamental treatment, and the general is too tired. If General Zhukov wants to serve the country, he must be given enough rest.

Stalin did not alarm Zhukov and quietly left the hospital.

Back in the conference room, the political and governance bureau meeting began again.

The first topic discussed at the meeting was to deal with the German offensive south of Moscow. At present, Guderian took a different path, they even chose the field as the road, destroyed all the hidden Soviet pillboxes in the village, and came to the south of Musk, fifty kilometers south, and are currently attacking to the west, and the Germans are encircling the Soviet troops in the south of the defense line.

A few days ago, the Soviets adopted the advice of a young general of a tank unit, ambushed the tanks in the path of the German army, used tanks to raid the first tank of the opponent and the last tank of the opponent, and then eliminated the German tank.

The ambushed tanks dug pits one to two hundred meters out of the roadside and laid an ambush.

Unlike the situation in history, historically, this strategy has indeed achieved great results, and the tank ambush tactics have indeed dealt a blow to the German assault, and some German tanks have been destroyed by an entire unit.

Because a large number of Soviet troops had not yet been wiped out, Guderian wanted to be the first to storm Moscow, so he made a detour from the south of Moscow into Moscow. This was not the way for the Germans, the Soviets did not set up an ambush, and Guderian's plan went well, encountering only limited resistance.

Several people in the political and political bureaus were very worried, because if the Central Committee did not retreat, then in case the Soviet and German armies engaged in street fighting in Moscow, the Central Committee would be in danger of losses. We are not going to give up Moscow, but we are going to withdraw the center.

Stalin did not say anything about this.

Zhukov, who had a deep influence on Stalin, fell ill, and no one could be so bold to confront Stalin, and no one was willing to speak his mind boldly.

After a while, everyone fell silent, waiting for Stalin's final opinion.

Stalin finally spoke: "We will not leave Moscow until the last moment." The political and political bureau believes that the German troops south of Moscow are only small forces, and we have organized troops to block them, and I believe that the results will be achieved soon. It is necessary to evacuate important institutions. By withdrawing the production organs, production can be better organized in the rear. However, I personally do not leave Moscow! ”

At the meeting, it was immediately agreed that some of the production sectors could be evacuated from Moscow, the army could not be evacuated, the central government could not be evacuated.

Immediately after the meeting, the order was given. At this time, it was already the middle of the night.

September 18, 1941. Moscow.

Yesterday, the Western Front was surrounded by German troops in the north and south and demanded a retreat. Stalin categorically did not believe that the Germans would encircle the Western Front so quickly and did not give the order to retreat.

At noon today, the intelligence services still discovered that the so-called German troops encircling the Western Front were still in Leningrad, and it was impossible to encircle the Western Front. However, aircraft reconnaissance, as well as reconnaissance by troops on the ground, did indeed find a large German force on the ground.

Only then did the Soviet General Staff find out that they had been deceived. It turned out that the person who sent the telegram himself was in the Leningrad direction, and this was deception. Because each person who sent the telegram had its own characteristics, the Soviet intelligence department may not be able to quickly decipher it, but it can quickly understand the location of the telegram. The Germans took advantage of this feature and deceived the Soviet intelligence services.

The Soviet General Staff immediately gave the order. The Western Front was asked to retreat.

It's too late.

The Western Front repeated the mistake of the Reserve Front, being blocked by German armored clusters in the east, northeast, and southeast, and surrounded by German infantry in the west, northwest, and southwest.

The Western Front was already completely surrounded.

The Soviet General Staff immediately issued an order for them to break through in both the north and south directions, and then move closer to Moscow.

A fierce battle began.

Like the Reserve Front, the Western Front was firmly surrounded. Instead of following the orders of the General Staff, they broke through due east, blowing up dozens of tanks with artillery, so that the two units could not be combined, while the other units broke through in this gap, abandoning a large number of heavy weapons on the battlefield and the Germans pursuing them in the rear.

By the next day, less than 50,000 people had broken through, and the rest of the Soviet army had been annihilated, and most of them had chosen to surrender.

Tens of thousands of Soviet troops soon reached the western defense line of Moscow and were asked to immediately join the line of defense and participate in the defense of Moscow.

At present, the western defense line, except for the students of the military academy, is a temporary replenishment of recruits. The arrival of these tens of thousands of people greatly strengthened Moscow's defense forces.

However, the situation in history in which hundreds of thousands of Siberian Soviet troops all pressed Moscow did not appear, and a large part of it came, although it brought difficulties to the German army, but it did not knock the German army away.
