The city of Moscow was surrounded by German Army Group North, Army Group Center and Army Group South on three sides, respectively. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers of Russia's newest rocket division, which considers itself the most powerful and formidable, are now gathering in front of the Russian positions ten kilometers outside the northern gate of Moscow, facing Army Group North.

The entire rocket artillery division has already made all the preparations for launching, and now it is only time for the sky to brighten at dawn, and it is time for their rocket artillery division to show its might.

It can be said that although it is still dark and it is difficult to see the five fingers of the hand, the fighting spirit of the entire rocket artillery division is high, because almost all the soldiers of the rocket artillery division know how amazing the power of this newly developed rocket artillery is.

From time to time, the commander of the rocket artillery division, Lieutenant General Ivanov, looked down at his watch, and if he had not received any of the latest orders from his superiors before dawn, he would shell the German assembly ten kilometers ahead at five o'clock in the morning, when it was just getting dark.

They had just learned that there was a large mass of German armored troops in a low valley ten kilometers away, and in order not to be caught aware, the Moscow defenders did not use long-range heavy artillery bombardment with an unusually slow rate of fire.

Instead, they chose to use their newly formed rocket artillery division for this secret artillery mission, as the area was within range of their latest rocket artillery.

Although the caliber of the shells of their rocket artillery division is only 120 millimeters, because of the large charge of the rocket artillery shells and the fact that the barrel far exceeds that of the same type of artillery, the shells of the rocket artillery not only have a long range, but are even more powerful than the 150 mm cannons.

Ivanov believed that with the power of a thousand rocket launchers in their division alone. Just one salvo is enough to flatten a valley ten kilometers away.

Ivanov looked not far behind him, although it was also dark, but Ivanov knew that hundreds of thousands of Russian troops had already been assembled there, and they would launch a counterattack against the Germans after they had shelled the German army ten kilometers away.

Ivanov's latest order was to shell the German troops on the opposite side with lightning speed, and then the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops made a full attack to crush the German troops in front of them.

As long as the German army in front of it can be defeated in the shortest possible time, the follow-up Russian army will continue to join the battle sequence of attacking the German Army Group North.

As long as the Russian army can defeat Army Group North, the siege of Moscow will be settled. At that time, millions of Russian reinforcements will also arrive, and at that time they will fight out from the western and northern cities of Moscow, and fight back against the German Central Army Group west of Moscow.

Ivanov was confident that a counterattack by the great Russians was coming. And it was he Ivanov who fired the first cannon to fire a counterattack.

"Bang bang bang!" Three red flares rose in the night sky a few kilometers away, making them particularly glaring.

"Huh? The time hasn't come yet, and the flare gun is still on my body? Where are these flares being indiscriminately fired? Oh, no, isn't that the position of the Germans? Are the Germans going to attack our Russian positions today?

That's great, I'm feeling like it's a waste of ammunition to have the entire rocket artillery division bombard a valley with an unknown number of enemies, and now that this kind of emergency has happened, I happened to ask my superiors if I could order the rocket artillery division to turn around and kill these damn Germans. ”

However, before Lieutenant General Ivanov could call his superiors, he saw that in the dark night, several long red flames suddenly flew into the night sky in the distance.

"Hey, why does this flame look so familiar? Not good, isn't this the trajectory of the shell after the rocket launcher? Ivanov just woke up. Several red rocket shells had already landed in front of the positions of their rocket artillery division and exploded.

Although there were no casualties caused by the huge explosion, the strong tremor and loud noise were heard by almost the entire rocket artillery division.

Then, just as Ivanov was shouting that something was wrong and wanted to give the order to transfer, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the sky in the distance of the German position blazing red, and then he saw thousands of rocket shells with long red tails whistling towards Ivanov's rocket artillery division's position.

Ivanov only had time to shout: "Be careful, shelling, lie down!" ”

With a "boom", a powerful rocket shell fell to Ivanov's side, and Ivanov was instantly blown to pieces, followed by countless loud bangs.

Then more rockets with red tails began to bombard the Russian positions all the way in the direction of Moscow's north gates.

Just when the Moscow Rocket Artillery Division was attacked by unknown rocket artillery, the more than 100,000 Russian ** teams not far behind the rocket artillery division were also bombarded by a large number of unknown shells.

And these bombed soldiers clearly felt that the bombing seemed to come from the sky, but the explosion did come from under their feet, why is this? Did the Germans invent some new weapons?

It's a pity that these Russian soldiers didn't have the opportunity to verify the weapons of the Germans. Because in a few minutes, the huge position of more than 100,000 people was bombed by unknown bombing, and several Russian ** commanders who were originally in charge of the attack had never seen such a powerful bombing.

I have never seen rocket artillery that can dump so many shells in a short period of time, and all of a sudden, several corps were blinded from top to bottom, and many soldiers were no longer restrained by the commander at all, and began to flee frantically.

Originally, the hundreds of thousands of middle and senior officers in the Russian army still wanted to restrain the panicked soldiers, but when more rockets and artillery shells kept falling into the Russian army, and when a large number of middle and senior officers were also killed and injured in large numbers, the entire group army of more than 100,000 people collapsed.

A large number of soldiers of the army group began to flee frantically in the direction of Moscow, so many deserters and rebels paralyzed several defenses in this direction outside Moscow, because these defenders did not know how to deal with these defeated soldiers running around.

More importantly, as more and more artillery fire began to extend towards Moscow, more and more defenders had to burrow into the tunnels to avoid German artillery fire.

The whole shelling lasted for an hour, and the defenders outside the northern city of Moscow felt like they were living like a year, and the huge explosion was still shaking their ears even if they were hiding in the bomb shelters, and many soldiers were simply dizzy from the shock.

It seems that the Germans bombed their positions all over the ten kilometers of defensive strip from outside Moscow to in front of the German positions.

But how is this possible? How many artillery pieces do you need to blow up hundreds of square kilometers of defensive positions?

But when an hour later, when the Russian soldiers in the bomb shelter staggered out of the tunnel one by one, they were stunned by the situation in front of them.

It turned out that their original positions were almost razed to the ground, and many tunnels were directly blown up. At this time, the positions of the Russian army were full of German soldiers with loaded guns, and in the middle of these German soldiers, there were huge heavy tanks that they had never seen before.

However, this huge heavy tank can flexibly cross the Russian anti-tank ditch, and what is even more excessive is that these Russian soldiers found that after the occasional anti-tank shells fired from the trenches hit these tanks, not only did not destroy the tank, but were also ejected by the armor of this tank.

Then these Russian soldiers suddenly found that before they could recover from their staggered state, they had been captured by a large number of German soldiers who rushed in front of them.
