Chapter 506: Stalin's Intervention

On August 12, 1941, the Germans annihilated the blocking force sent by Zhukov to the back of Moscow, and the Soviet capital was completely surrounded by German troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There were 2 million Soviet troops and 7 or 8 million inhabitants in the entire encirclement of Moscow, and as for Moscow's reserves of various materials, according to the reports of German spies planted in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union hoarded a large amount of various materials aided by Britain and the United States, including weapons and ammunition, in Moscow.

The exact amount of supplies that the Soviets had hoarded in Moscow could not be counted on by the spies planted by Germany inside the Soviet Union, so he could only give a conservative estimate that Moscow would have been hoarding all kinds of supplies for a year under the limited supply.

All right! Stalin's **** actually hoarded such all kinds of materials in Moscow, and it was impossible for Rommel to let Moscow drag millions of German troops for a whole year, which was what Britain and the United States were most happy to see.

Rommel handed over the task of attacking Moscow to Manstein, with a total strength of more than 2 million troops of the German Army Group Center, 1.8 million of the German Allied Army, and more than 1.7 million of the Russian Liberation Army.

The outlying positions of Moscow were mainly cleared by the Germans, and the street fighting in Moscow was mainly carried out by the German Allies and the Russian Liberation Army, which was to be assisted by 600,000 troops.

Rommel also invested a lot of money in order to take Moscow, not to mention weapons and ammunition, and in order to cope with the heavy casualties in the street fighting, 1.8 million German Allied troops were already being transported in a steady stream.

Since the start of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, Germany has captured more than 5.8 million Soviet prisoners of war, and about 2 million Soviet troops have been sent to labor camps, and Vlasov has recruited more than 1 million, and the rest of the Soviet troops are all recruits.

These people were all cannon fodder prepared by Rommel for the attack on Moscow, with a total of 3.6 million German Allied troops, 3.4 million Russian People's Liberation Army, and only 600,000 German troops participating in street fighting, most of which were armored units.

Rommel also didn't want to spend his precious tanks in street fighting, but he couldn't do anything to take Moscow for a few pieces. However, in order to reduce the losses of the German armored forces in street battles, Rommel still hunted as many new tanks as possible for the Allies and the Russian Liberation Army.

The most smoothly developed was the Ukrainian Liberation Army and the Soviet rebels, the Ukrainian Liberation Army penetrated behind Stalingrad, and Führer Rommel ordered them to leave 300,000 men to build a strong defensive line to prevent the Soviet army in Stalingrad from breaking through.

The remaining 50 or so Ukrainian Liberation Army immediately launched an offensive on the Soviet Union's Ural industrial region, with 100,000 elite German troops assisting in the attack.

Although the Soviet Union had more than a million troops in the Ural industrial zone, they were stationed in dozens of cities in the Ural industrial zone, and the Soviet rebels were growing rapidly in the vast rural areas.

More than a million Soviet troops in the Ural industrial zone were thus confined to dozens of cities and could not move, and the Soviet army, which could not form a fist, was tens of thousands of people in this city, and tens of thousands of people in that city.

As a result, more than half a million Ukrainian Liberation Army (PLA) has formed an absolute superiority in forces, attacking city by city, and the Soviet Union has fallen one by one in the Ural industrial region.

At this time, the Ural industrial zone of the Soviet Union has lost its hematopoietic function, and all kinds of weapons and equipment produced by them cannot be transported to the front line at all, because of the destruction of the communication lines by the Soviet rebels, even if there are still many Soviet cities in the Ural industrial zone that have not fallen, and the factories where the Soviet Union is, there are no corresponding raw materials for production.

British and American aid could not be delivered to the Moscow front, and the three major cities of the Soviet Union on the front line, which seemed to be impregnable, had actually lost their supply lines, and their persistence only stemmed from their dedication to the entire country and nation.

On August 13, 1941, the German army launched a full-scale attack on Moscow's outer positions, the sky was densely packed with aircraft, and the ground was covered with artillery bombardment, and the artillery bombardment was followed by a sea of armored assault groups, and behind the armored assault groups were mechanized infantry.

When the Soviets lost air supremacy to Moscow, they could no longer hold Moscow's outlying positions. Although the Soviets built a lot of solid reinforced concrete fortifications on the outskirts of Moscow.

But Germany has JU87 dive bombers for precision bombing, and 500 kg of heavy aerial bombs have been turned into scum in the solid field reinforced concrete fortifications!

Not to mention the artillery of the Soviet army, as long as the artillery of the Soviet army shows up, it is the key target of the German artillery fire and aircraft, no matter how strong the artillery of the Soviet army is hidden in the fortifications, the German JU87 dive bombers will definitely destroy it before stopping, a heavy aerial bomb will not work, just two, three, until it is completely destroyed.

The Germans were frantically cutting through Moscow's outlying positions, and Stalin finally stopped being so calm, and he directly intervened in Zhukov's command, and Stalin ordered the Soviet air force in the rear to immediately go to Moscow to participate in the war.

At this time, it was absolutely wrong for the Soviet Air Force to enter the war, because all the airfields around Moscow had been completely bombed by the Germans, and when the Soviet planes coming from the rear arrived in the skies over Moscow, there was not much fuel left, and their self-control time would not exceed five or six minutes.

The remaining more than 2,000 Soviet planes, under Stalin's strict orders, all flew to Moscow on August 13 to participate in the war, and Germany had more than 8,000 planes on the Moscow front at this time.

More than 5,000 German fighters deployed on the Moscow front all took part in the battle, and more than 2,000 Soviet planes fought against more than 5,000 German planes.

The air forces of the Soviet Union and Germany fought fiercely over Moscow, and when the battle was fought, the Soviet air force was indeed very brave, and the battle losses of the German and Soviet planes reached 1; 1.5。

However, the Soviet Air Force was in the air for too short a time, and they had to return after a few minutes, and the German planes that were still well fueled immediately launched a pursuit, and the German Ju89 long-range bombers, which had not yet taken to the skies to fight, also participated in the pursuit, and they went to bomb the airfields in the rear of the Soviet army.

Now that all the Soviet planes in the rear have arrived at the front line, even if a large number of planes can successfully return to the airfields in the rear, they still need to land at the airfield, then fill up with fuel and replenish ammunition before they can take off into the air for combat, and this process will take 20 minutes at the earliest.

It was this fatal 20 minutes, the German fighters had to return because of fuel problems after pursuing for a period of time, and the Soviet planes thought they had escaped, but the German long-range bombers came one after another, and before the Soviet planes had time to refuel, their airfields were blown up by the German long-range bombers, and the remaining Soviet planes were also finished.
