Because the German offensive on the front of Moscow was so fierce, tanks and armored vehicles poured in, and planes flew all over the sky, and the German ground forces could get air support, while the Soviets did not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

So the losses of the USSR were very large, and the positions of the Soviet army were constantly being broken through, and of course the casualties of the German army were certainly not small.

……

Vlasov is the commander-in-chief of the Russian People's Liberation Army, and he took more than a million Russian People's Liberation Army to the back of Moscow.

Although Zhukov was reluctant to draw troops from the Moscow defense circle to block Vlasov's penetration, Stalin did not think so:

Stalin believed that Germany must not be allowed to encircle Moscow, and that it is necessary to find ways to ensure the smooth flow of Moscow's foreign communications.

Stalin's understanding was not wrong, if Germany really completely surrounded Moscow, there were seven or eight million Soviets in the entire Moscow encirclement, and the daily consumption of food would be very staggering.

Although Moscow has stored grain for nearly half a year, who dares to guarantee that the Soviet Union will be able to lift the encirclement of Moscow in half a year, no one dares to make such a guarantee, not even Zhukov.

Do you expect Britain and the United States to launch a sea-crossing operation? Stalin already knew that Britain had sent 20,000 soldiers across the sea to fight, and in Stalin's view, it was not a counteroffensive, it was just an indication of Britain's attitude.

In order to flank Germany, it was necessary to send at least two million soldiers to land in France before it was possible to achieve the so-called two-sided attack, and Britain only sent two people to die, so Stalin did not pin all his hopes on Britain and the United States.

Although Stalin was dictatorial, his understanding and political wisdom were quite high, and Britain and the United States would indeed not spare a drop of blood for the Soviet Union, and when they would send troops was determined entirely according to their own interests.

Zhukov was not stupid, but when Stalin asked him to send troops to block the interspersed Russian Liberation Army, they understood Stalin's ultimate strategic intention - to defend Soviet Moscow with all their might, and if it really could not hold on, then retreat.

This is a matter of strategic choice, there is no right or wrong, it is just a matter of seeing which strategy is best for one's side.

Since he decided to attack, Zhukov carefully drew 800,000 troops from the Moscow defense circle, all of whom took advantage of the darkness of the night to leave the city of Moscow, and then rushed to gather the fortifications that had been built.

In order to combat the arrogance of the Russian Liberation Army, Zhukov quietly concentrated 300 Katyusha rocket launchers, and then took advantage of the moonless dark night to deploy these 300 Katyusha rocket launchers to the side of the Russian Liberation Army's advance road.

An armored division of the Russian Liberation Army, armed with captured Soviet tanks, broke into the preset range of Katyusha arranged by Zhukov unsuspectingly.

In an instant, the entire sky was red by the Katyusha, and countless rockets "roared" through the flying mountain sky, and then smashed down in the tank assault queue of the armored division of the Russian People's Liberation Army, and the entire tank assault group of the Russian Liberation Army was completely overwhelmed by the Soviet Katyusha.

The Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher, which had finished firing rockets, immediately retreated back to the Moscow defense circle under the cover of the air force.

Vlasov's tank division was finished, more than a hundred tanks, less than thirty remained, and the rest were all destroyed.

When Vlasov learned the news, he was so distressed that he burst into tears, but he quickly returned to normal and began to ask the soldiers of the repair battalion to make every effort to repair those tanks that could be repaired, as for the lost tanks, there is no need to worry about this, Germany should make up for the lost tanks, after all, the Kharkov Tank Plant is already producing T34.

The Russian Liberation Army was forced to stop and wait for another German Panzer Division to come to the vanguard, and Rommel, after learning of what had happened to the Russian Liberation Army, immediately ordered someone to follow an SS Panzer Division behind the Russian Liberation Army to the front to take the lead role.

Croft was the commander of the SS Panzer Division, and he immediately led the team to speed forward after the street order, but not long after Croft set off, the former enemy general command issued an order, ordering Croft to rest in place for two hours, wait for the air force to arrive, and then go to the front of the Russian Liberation Army to play the role of the vanguard.

In order to prevent Zhukov's dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Rommel pulled out the "Katyusha" in broad daylight and desperately tried his best, so that Rommel's armored assault group would be in danger, and in order to avoid this tragedy, Rommel asked Hartmann of the SS Air Corps to divide the planes into three shifts and continuously cruise over the SS armored assault group and the Soviet troops.

As soon as he found some promising targets, Hartmann authorized his planes to attack freely, and if necessary, he could call in headquarters to send more aircraft to support. In the two days of its development, the Soviets lost more than 4,000 aircraft, while the Germans lost only more than 2,000.

The difference in air power between the Soviet Union and Germany was immediately apparent, and Germany had 11,000 planes left, while the Soviet Union had only 3,000 planes left. In fact, Germany had already achieved partial air superiority around Moscow, which is why Rommel dared to let the air force cover the armored assault group the whole time.

The Soviets built countless fortifications around Moscow, and although there were not many garrisons in some places, there were many strong fortifications, but after Zhukov sent 800,000 people to enter these defensive positions at night, several lines of defense of the Soviet army were immediately formed.

The Soviet army's ability to stop the penetration of the Russian Liberation Army has increased, but the strength of the Moscow defense circle has also decreased, and the defense capability has also decreased.

German planes flew over the Soviet positions, the Katyusha rocket artillery had long since run without a shadow, and the defensive positions of the Soviet army's first line were miserable now, and the German planes without Katyusha rocket artillery began to bombard the Soviet defensive positions.

Countless aerial bombs rained down, the reinforced concrete fortifications became the graves of the Soviet troops, and the Soviet troops who were hiding in improvised trenches were fine, and as for the Soviet artillery and anti-aircraft artillery, they were always the priority targets of the SS Air Force.

But no matter how the SS Air Force searched, it was rare to find Soviet artillery groups, and even Soviet anti-aircraft artillery seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

These situations were reflected to Rommel, which made Rommel even more sure that Zhukov definitely had a killer feature, as for when Zhukov would play the trick and when he would use the killer weapon, this is really hard to judge.

Since Rommel can't figure it out, of course he won't think about it, but Rommel is sure that a famous general like Zhukov would not do very stupid things under normal circumstances.

With Germany's air superiority, Zhukov's killer weapon could not be carried out in the daytime, otherwise Zhukov's killer weapon "Katyusha" could only be used once and would be completely destroyed by the SS air force, and a smart man like Zhukov would not do this.

All right! You, Zhukov, are smart people and plan to use a killer weapon against me at night, then I will not attack at night, and I will also retreat some distance and only leave some alert troops on the occupied positions, Zhukov, your "Katyusha" can not fight 8.5 km?

I quietly retreated fifteen or ten kilometers from the forward positions at night, and then I left only a few alert troops in the forward positions, whether you Zhukov bombarded with artillery or Katyusha, you can do whatever you want, and then we will see the real chapter during the day.
