Chapter 484: The Eve of the Great War
readx;??? At the beginning of September of the 41st year, the Germans had just opened up and deployed millions of heavy troops in the Moscow area, preparing to fight the Russians. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Germans deployed 150 divisions, 3 million men, 3,000 tanks, 2,000 aircraft, more than 20,000 artillery pieces of various types, and hundreds of thousands of vehicles of various types in the Moscow region.
Coupled with the fact that the German servant army also had nearly two million people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Germans fought a war of the country this time. In order to win this battle, Hitler went to the front many times to inspect the preparations of the German army.
The Russians were well prepared, and now the total number of troops around Moscow is more than five million, although most of them are recruits. But the Russians are home defense, so morale is high.
This time, Stalin made a mistake and used half of the reserve warehouses throughout Russia, with plenty of guns and ammunition. At the same time, Moscow has 1,000 aircraft, 2,000 tanks, and 10,000 artillery pieces of various types.
Although the number of heavy weapons was less than that of the Germans, Moscow was backed by an industrial base in central Russia, which made it very convenient to supply all kinds of war supplies.
And from a hundred kilometers outside Moscow, almost every twenty kilometers there are groups of pillboxes, tunnels, armored units and a large number of cannon fodder men doing defensive work.
According to conservative estimates, even if the Germans were strong, it would be unrealistic to attack Moscow in the short term, and it would take at least a month just to clear these various defense groups blocking the road to Moscow.
Moreover, in order to prevent the killing and wounding of German napalm, the Russians not only strengthened the air defense of the entire Moscow region, but also widely publicized the characteristics of napalm.
And the clever Russians also came up with a corresponding solution, because the explosion power of napalm is not strong, so the Russian soldiers were told to wear a thick cloak on their bodies.
Once you're on fire, throw away your cloak as soon as possible. As long as everyone encounters the flame of napalm and does not panic and cause secondary combustion, then the power of napalm will naturally not be as bad as the legend.
Not to mention the simplicity and effectiveness of the idea that the fighting races came up with, and what the Russians didn't know was that the napalm they encountered again was no longer as powerful as the attack on Leningrad.
Because the napalm produced by the Germans no longer had a proximity fuse, it was difficult to form large-scale burns even if they exploded with the level of technology at that time.
And the Germans also knew that without the proximity fuse provided by Li Tie, the defenders of Moscow could not be burned by napalm alone, not to mention that there were two million regular Russian troops in the Moscow area.
Coupled with all kinds of reserves, as well as temporary recruits and strong men, the whole of Moscow is not only a steel fortress, but also a great wall of human flesh composed of nearly 10 million soldiers and civilians.
With 5 million attacking 10 million, the outcome of this unprecedented general battle is by no means decided by one or two weapons. In the end, the two sides have to test manpower, material resources, and endurance.
The battle of Moscow, Germany and Russia both have reasons to win, this battle of the century is not destined to be easy, let alone won in a short time, it is estimated that the bloody battle between the two sides will still be fought.
At the same time, on the morning of September 6, a young and beautiful lady with an elegant temperament had just stepped off the steamer on the docks in Tokyo.
At the same time, several strong men in black did not leave the left and right of this lady, escorting this lady to the special car that came to meet her, and the departure of the beautiful lady even caused a riot on the dock, and many young men wanted to know who the elegant woman was just now?
This lady with an elegant temperament is Nanzao Yunzi, who is thirty-two years old at this time, but her mature charm can kill countless boys and girls in seconds.
By this time, Mizuku was already the director of Japan's Foreign Military Intelligence Bureau, and she had just returned to Tokyo from a mission in China.
She hurried back to Tokyo to accept Li Tie's secret order, and at the same time, she was summoned by the emperor, although Nanzo Yunzi did not know the specific reason why the emperor summoned her.
However, she knew that the empire's occupation of China for more than a year had not been smooth. China is not only a vast country, but also a large population.
After several years of attrition, Japan's veterans have been fighting fewer and less, but China's veterans are fighting more and more, if it weren't for the fact that China is still a plate of scattered sand, Nanzao Yunzi believes that Japan would have lost to China a long time ago.
This is also one of the reasons why she resolutely followed Li Tie's side. You must know that although Nanzao Yunzi has been subjected to the high hypnotism of the Hundred Changing Mouse.
But that thing is not static, after so many years of close contact with Li Tie, Nanzao Yunzi is now Li Tie's person from the inside out, and her whole body and mind have long belonged to Li Tie, so she can unswervingly follow Li Tie's footsteps.
As for why Nanzao Yunzi listened to Li Tie's words to deal with his homeland Japan. On the one hand, it is because she loves Li Tie from the bottom of her heart, and love is blind.
On the other hand, it is also because of the hatred in her heart, she hates the fiancé who framed him back then, and she hates the country of Japan and the nation of Japan.
Nanzao Yunzi is born in Japan's special high-tech department, and he is one of the top disciples of Tufeiyuan. In the past few years, due to her tacit cooperation with Li Tie, her status in the imperial intelligence community has risen in a straight line.
Nanzo Yunzi has been promoted from the head of the Shanghai Moon Agency at the beginning, to the director of the South China Regional Intelligence Department, and later to the head of the Chinese General Intelligence Agency, and now the director of the Japanese Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
It can be said that her position in the Japanese intelligence community is now very important, although her power is not as great as that of any department minister, and her military rank is not even higher than that of a division commander of an army.
But at a young age, she has become the first female general since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, and she is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant general of the army division commander, which is really an outlier in the patriarchal Japanese society.
You must know that Yoshiko Kawashima, who is the so-called flower of the empire through nepotism, and is now the puppet Minister of Defense of Manchukuo, is now just a lieutenant general. Moreover, because the water content of Yoshiko Kawashima's rank of lieutenant general is too high, all Japanese military departments and even brigade commanders look down on Yoshiko Kawashima.
But Nanzo Yunzi is different, when it comes to the status of the Japanese military, the current Nanzao Yunzi is a big celebrity in the Japanese army, navy and air force, whether it is the minister of the War Department or the minister of the Navy Department, they all regard Nanzao Yunzi as a genius in the Japanese intelligence community.
In the eyes of the three Japanese armies, those division commanders of the same level, and even the regiment commanders, are much worse than her, just because she can meet the emperor at any time, and she can visit the official residence of these ministers, including the current prime minister, you can know how high Nanzo Yunzi's status is now.
Today, the Imperial Council was to be held, and the bigwigs from both the military and political worlds arrived at the Emperor's dormitory in the Imperial Palace early. There is a large conference room next to the dormitory, which is what Emperor Hirohito called the Shinsei Hall.
At this time, dozens of bigwigs from the military and political circles sat on opposite sides of the emperor, and they were arguing about whether to attack the United States next.
