Chapter 495: The decisive battle mode is on
They were accompanied by more than 50,000 Soviet rebels, who were to attack from the Komi Forest and attack the northernmost cities of the Ural industrial region in order to contain and disperse the Soviet forces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The distance between Moscow and Stalingrad is more than 500 kilometers, and this distance is too large for the Ukrainian Liberation Army to be able to calmly intersperse.
More than 700,000 Ukrainian PLA lined up in several columns and marched forward, with three armored divisions at the head, and they barely met any resistance, except for the occasional few mines buried on the road, which was annoying, and this time it was like a march.
Stalin and Zhukov were so superstitious about their three main defenses that Rommel simply did not play according to their plan.
Zhukov's opinion was to make a tentative sortie for such a large-scale penetration of the German army, and as a result, several divisions of the Soviet army finally got out of the strong fortifications and were smashed back by the rain of shells.
The Germans simply did not give the Soviets a chance to get out of the strong fortifications, yes, the strong fortifications of the Soviet troops could resist the attack of the Germans, and at the same time hinder the attack of the Soviet troops.
The Soviets wanted to be in their own defensive position, because of the ravines in the defensive position, the spiritual power of the pillboxes and bunkers, the Soviets could not even make many large-scale sorties, because the fortifications built by the Soviets would definitely not leave an exit to the outside.
Zhukov then gave up his tentative volley, convinced that his defense in great depth could not be broken by the Germans, and even if the Germans surrounded his three heavily fortified points, it would be useless.
When the Ukrainian People's Liberation Army was interspersed, more than a million Russian Liberation Army also began to intersperse, and their combat goal was to penetrate behind Moscow's back and cut off all Moscow's foreign communications.
Of these, 780,000 were used to defend against a counterattack by the Soviet army in Moscow, and more than 500,000 of them were used to attack the central industrial part of the Soviet Union's Urals.
Then the Soviet army's Ural industrial zone will be attacked from three directions, and the Soviet troops stationed in the Ural industrial zone will be more than one million.
However, the area of the Ural Industrial Zone is the size of two Sichuan provinces, and there are many Soviet troops in the Ural Industrial Zone, but these Soviet troops are evenly distributed in dozens of cities in the Ural Industrial Zone.
Therefore, the forces of the Soviet army in the Ural industrial area were very scattered, they did not form a fist, and the Soviet army did not dare to let these Soviet troops gather together, because a Soviet rebel army had already entered the Ural industrial area.
These ingenious rebels, who are familiar with the terrain and have strong seditious tendencies, will join them many people who have hatred for the Stalinist regime, or who are dissatisfied with it.
The more than one million Soviet troops in the Ural industrial zone could only send out about half a million people to deal with the frontal attack of the Russian Liberation Army and the Ukrainian Liberation Army, and the rest were all firmly dragged by the Soviet rebels in various cities.
Most of the Soviet rebels came out of the years of the Soviet Revolutionary War, and since the cities of the Ural industrial region were not easy to fight, they immediately moved to attack the rural areas of the Soviet army.
The peasants of any country have a very strong desire for land, and the peasants who are dying of starvation in the farms will of course raise their hands to welcome the liberation of the Soviet rebels.
The development of the Soviet rebel army in the Urals industrial zone is extremely rapid, in order to make the farm more interesting, after hearing that the Soviet National Salvation Army is coming, the farmers of the farm took the initiative to kill the cadres stationed in the Soviet Union, and then sent people to contact the Soviet rebel army, if they could not be contacted, they took the initiative to hang out the sign of the Soviet National Salvation Army.
The Soviet rebels named themselves the Soviet National Salvation Army, and their goal was to completely overthrow the Stalinist regime and implement fair socialism in the Soviet Union, advocating international reconciliation with European countries.
Most of the Soviet National Salvation Army were people of Lenin's time, they could not have changed their faith because of Stalin's persecution, they were hardcore followers of Lenin.
The Russian People's Liberation Army is different, they are German puppet troops, and their claim is that the USSR is dependent on Germany and at the same time the capitalist system is implemented in the USSR.
Now the two sides are working together, and Germany has also given the Soviet National Salvation Army some necessary support, because the two sides have a common goal, that is, to overthrow the Stalin regime, if not overthrown, they will all die! Of course, this was also a bomb planted by Rommel for the Soviet Union.
The German troops between Moscow and Leningrad were also quickly deployed in place, and the 150,000 German troops in Moscow and Stalingrad also arrived at the designated positions.
The combined forces of 1.8 million European troops and 600,000 German troops, under the cover of 5,000 tanks, more than 4,000 armored vehicles, 20,000 artillery pieces, and thousands of aircraft, launched an unprecedented fierce offensive against Moscow's defensive circle.
German shells rained down on Soviet positions, and the shelling was followed by a tank and armored vehicle assault. The resistance of the Soviet troops was also unprecedentedly stubborn, and they fought bloody battles with the Germans on the positions with anti-tank guns and bazooka bazookas.
The German Leopard tank played a crucial role, with tracks hanging on the front of the hull, rushing to the front, and the Leopard tank was almost powerless except for the 100-mm anti-tank gun supported by the United States, which could destroy the Leopard tank at 800 meters head-on.
As long as the German tank assault group rushed into the Soviet position, the armored vehicles following the attack immediately put down the infantry and fought face to face with the Soviet troops on the position.
The Germans, as always, broke through the defensive positions of the Soviet troops, but the Soviet troops did not collapse, because their positions were criss-crossed, and breaking through a few places could not completely encircle the Soviet troops at the breakthrough.
Many of the encircled or unencircled Soviet troops chose to fight to the death, and the German army generally left a little time for these Soviet troops, and the marshals of the Lenin era of the Soviet Union, Yegorov and Blyukher, would soon come to surrender, and if the Soviet army surrendered, it would go without saying, if it did not surrender, the German army would immediately launch a fierce attack to annihilate it all.
To be honest, not too many Soviet troops surrendered, less than a third, which was indeed a great surprise to Yegorov and Blyukher, and Rommel did not say much about it, but gave them enough trust.
The Germans advanced with difficulty in the Moscow defensive circle, and the artillery fire from both sides turned the sky red at every moment, and when more than a million Russian troops penetrated behind Moscow, the artillery counterattack of the Moscow side weakened.
It is not that the Soviet army has no shells, on the contrary, the Soviet army has stockpiled a large amount of ammunition and various supplies in Moscow, and Zhukov is saving ammunition, because he has already made up his mind to hold Moscow for a long time.
It's not that Zhukov didn't think about sending troops to repel the more than one million Russian Liberation Army, but he really didn't dare to send more than one million troops from Moscow's defensive circle to attack the more than one million Russian Liberation Army. (To be continued.) )
