Chapter 497: A stroke of genius
I attack fifty or sixty kilometers during the day, and what if I retreat ten kilometers at night, and the artillery groups I have deployed at a distance from the forward positions are not vegetarians, as long as there are any alert forces that can accurately indicate the target, I will see how you Zhukov hide and use his secret weapon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that Vlasov's more than 1 million Russian Liberation Army and 200,000 German troops have almost 2,000 large-caliber artillery pieces, and if Zhukov thinks that he can recapture the lost positions by night, ask these 2,000 artillery pieces first.
……
The General Headquarters of the Soviet Army in Moscow, Zhukov and Chuikov are also anxious, mainly because Germany now has a great advantage in air supremacy, and if the Soviet army is fighting with the German army, it will be finished in a few days.
Therefore, Zhukov avoided sending the air force to fight for attrition this year, and the remaining 3,000 planes of the Soviet army really couldn't fight a few times, and now it is an abnormal air battle, and there are at least a few hundred planes dispatched by both sides, and there are not too many of each other's returns.
The battle damage ratio of German aircraft to Soviet aircraft was about 1; 1.8, the Soviet planes were significantly less than the German army, and under such battle losses, Zhukov asked the air force to avoid the battle and go to the rear airfield, which was also a helpless move!
Zhukov did not let the Soviet Air Force go to the rear to do nothing, he sent the only remaining Soviet Air Force to the Ural industrial region, and the benefits of this were also very obvious.
The Soviet army had absolute superiority in the air power in the Ural industrial area, and the two large interspersed troops sent by Rommel could only build some field airfields for the German army, so the German interspersed troops could only get some Luftwaffe assistance when attacking the Urals industrial area.
Zhukov's move was really a stroke of genius, the German army formed absolute air superiority around Moscow, and the Soviet Union also formed absolute air superiority in the Ural industrial region, and the Soviet air force also escaped the end of total annihilation.
Among the troops deployed in front of the Russian Liberation Army, Zhukov had six artillery divisions, two rocket artillery divisions, one anti-tank artillery division, and three anti-aircraft artillery divisions.
The Soviet Union has always been a large artillery doctrine, and the Soviet artillery divisions are divided into three categories, one is the field artillery division, which is equipped with 60 76-mm field guns, 45 122-mm howitzers, and 30 152-mm howitzers.
The second is the anti-aircraft artillery division, also known as the anti-tank artillery division or mechanized artillery division, equipped with 50 45-mm anti-tank guns, 28 76-mm anti-tank guns, 12 100-mm anti-tank guns, and 35 self-propelled anti-tank guns.
The third is the anti-aircraft artillery division, which is equipped with 30 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 16 57-mm anti-aircraft guns, 11 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 7 100-mm anti-aircraft guns (temporarily missing), as well as searchlight troops and radar units.
Most of the self-propelled guns of the Soviet army were assigned to armored units and mechanized units, and there were fewer of them in specialized artillery units, so most of these artillery divisions were equipped with towed artillery. In addition, some artillery divisions are armed with a lot of large-caliber mortars, such as 120 mm, 160 mm and 210 mm ones.
In this way, a Soviet artillery division has about 230 guns of various calibers, and Zhukov's blocking troops deployed outside Moscow add up to about 2,000 guns.
This is already quite good artillery firepower, similar to the artillery of the Russian Liberation Army and the 200,000 German troops of the Soviet Union, Germany has tanks, and the Soviet Union did not send them to the war, but the Soviet Union has pillboxes and fortifications, and Germany is the attacking side, the Soviet blocking force is only 800,000, while the Russian Liberation Army has 1.7 million, plus the assistance of 200,000 German troops, Germany also has air force support, and the Soviet blocking force does not.
In this way, it seems that the German side must be much stronger, but the victory or defeat of the war is never only based on strength and weakness, and there are many other factors, which are also one of the important reasons for determining the victory or defeat of the war.
On the weak Zhukov side, in order to use the artillery power in his hands, the scattered use could not achieve a small shelling effect, but wasted ammunition, and the concentrated use was a threat to the Luftwaffe, and Zhukov was actually very difficult.
To tell the truth, since the German offensive concentrated more than 7 million troops to start the decisive battle in Moscow, the Moscow defensive ring arranged by Zhukov has been constantly broken through, the defensive positions have been shrinking, and the tenants have lost more and more troops.
How the Soviet army should deal with the current crisis, Zhukov and his deputy Chuikov urgently discussed it in their own headquarters,
"Comrade Chuikov, I think we should take advantage of the night, so that we can avoid the deadly threat of German planes to our artillery, and now we have this card in our hands, we must play it well."
"Comrade Zhukov, I completely agree with you, our current anti-tank mines can only blow up the tracks of German tanks, which will also play a role in delaying, we have large-caliber anti-tank guns, so that we can kill these German tanks that have lost their mobility, but we don't have too many large-caliber anti-tank guns in our hands.
When the German armored assault group enters our position, the damned Germans will release infantry from the armored vehicles, so that our infantry's main bazooka will lose the opportunity to attack the German tanks.
So, I think you have that kind of approach in front of yours that works. ”
"Then let the front-line troops desperately delay the pace of the Germans, although our anti-tank mines can only blow up the tracks of the Germans' tanks, but we still have to bury a large number of front-line troops, we don't expect how many German tanks we can blow up, and it is good for him to be blown off the tracks and stay in place for several hours."
"Okay, I'll give the order to call the front-line troops to bury a large number of anti-tank mines, anyway, the German army is still resting, we can completely set up several large minefields in an hour."
The Russian Liberation Army has been placed in the ranks of the German invading army by Zhukov and Chuikov, because they are loyal to Germany and wear the same military uniform.
"Well, let's give the Germans a big dinner in the evening."
"Comrade Zhukov, I think we still have to make a few plans, such as keeping more reserves, and on the one hand, let the German army launch an encirclement war against the troops we have sent."
"Comrade Chuikov, I agree with you, I have carefully studied the tactics of the German leader Rommel's **** raising, this **** raising soldiers is bold, and the strategy is not simple, and it is a strong enemy of ours." ……
The sad Vlasov repaired his damaged tanks on the first line of defense of the Soviet army, and the high-spirited Croft began to attack with a huge armored assault group, the first line of defense of the Soviet army was about twenty kilometers away from the fourth line of defense, and the first ten kilometers of Croft went particularly smoothly, but a few kilometers later, Croft was tragic.

Reading
You see, or don't look at me
I was right there
Not sad or happy
You read me, or you don't read me
The love is there
Don't come and go
You love, or don't love me
The love is there
Neither increase nor decrease
You take it, or you don't take it from me
My hand is in yours
Don't give up
Come into my arms
or
Let me dwell in your heart
Silently in love
Silence and joy (to be continued.) )
