At the moment when the signal flare of the rumor was lifted into the air, the ground of the whole Moscow shook! Then a deafening roar of artillery rang out.

At this time, the sky was not bright, but countless streams of fire with deadly streamers pierced the night sky and rushed towards the city of Moscow.

The "boom, boom, boom......" explosion resounded throughout the city of Moscow, and countless houses, fortifications and city walls were blasted over by the explosion.

At this time, German train guns more than 40 kilometers away from Moscow also began to bombard the planned buildings in Moscow.

The train cannon was so large that it had to wait nearly fifteen minutes between each fire before it could reload and prepare the next shell. But it was all worth it, because the German train guns caused huge damage to the intended target every time they landed.

It only takes for them to be hit by a train shell and the buildings will be completely wiped out.

When the cannon fired, the Allied forces in Moscow, except for a few observation posts, withdrew into the dugouts for shelter.

Based on the judgment of the situation of the defense of Moscow, the German commander-in-chief Fedor. Feng. Bock, Carl. Rudolph. Gerd. Feng. Rundstein chose to use all the heavy artillery, hoping to destroy most of the Soviet fortifications.

In some ways, their purpose was achieved. Under heavy shelling, the fortified houses in Moscow were largely destroyed.

The violent explosion and shock wave destroyed the houses near the shell landing site.

The worst of all were the gathering points that were shelled by train shells, and the houses in those two places were razed to the ground almost instantly. Even in the cellar under the house. and the exit connecting the bomb shelter were blown down.

"Quick! Quickly calculate the position of the German artillery...... "The artillery units of the Allied forces were calculating the position of the German artillery positions at this time, and the artillery staff officers were constantly calculating the coordinates of the German artillery positions according to the landing point of the explosion.

But this kind of thing is obviously not something that can be done in a while. The Germans lost some of their artillery at the beginning of the war, and then they became cautious about the use of artillery.

And the same. At the beginning of the campaign, the Allies also suffered the loss of artillery positions due to the calculation of ballistics by the Germans. So they have always exercised restraint in the use of artillery.

"Area 4, 100 meters west of the No. 3 azimuth - 300 meters away! ……”

"Azimuth No. 6, 0-90 to the east, near 40, depression, enemy 155mm heavy artillery position! ……”

The indicators began to be collected from the hands of the staff officers, and finally a report was quickly formed and handed over to the position commanders. And after careful calculations, the Allies finally came up with the location of the German artillery positions.

"Coordinates: x78123, Y45678, German artillery positions! Shoot fast, two rounds! Fire! The Allied artillery commander quickly assigned the battle mission. The adjutant, on the other hand, repeated the order aloud after recording it.

"Yes! Coordinates: x78123, Y45678, German artillery positions! Shoot fast, two rounds! Fire! ”

After nearly half an hour of artillery bombardment by the Germans, the Allies finally began an artillery counterattack. By this time, the sky was getting brighter. We could no longer see the stray fire from the shells tearing through the air.

But the cannon fired a loud roar. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air tells you that this is the battlefield. Under the rising sun, they are sacrificing their lives to fight for their lives.

"Boom! Rumble!! Bombardment......" A large number of Allied retaliatory artillery fire fell on the German artillery positions, and suddenly the artillery positions were overturned.

By the time of the third round of shelling, the Germans had already begun to shift their artillery positions one after another. But they did not expect that the Allied counterattack would come so quickly.

Part of the German artillery units, which had not had time to evacuate, were overturned by Allied artillery fire in the first place.

"Their artillery is exposed! Calculate the position and shoot back now! Fast!! Bock had anticipated this situation, and the German staff officers began to calculate the position of the Allied artillery as soon as it was exposed.

Then, a frenzied artillery return fire broke out.

The Allies fired two rounds of retaliatory fire. They were ready to transfer their artillery positions. But alas, the Germans seized the opportunity to bombard their already exposed positions!

"Boom, boom, boom......" this time since the start of the war in Moscow. For the first time, the two sides engaged in the largest artillery battle. The Allied artillery inside Moscow and the German artillery outside Moscow combined exceeded 20,000 pieces.

The artillery units of both sides are fighting to the death, hoping to completely destroy the other before they can completely defeat themselves.

This frenzied artillery bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, and more than 3,000 artillery pieces of the Allied forces were completely destroyed. In this case, the Allies were forced to transfer the remaining artillery for the future.

As far as the current armament is concerned, the Allied forces garrisoning Moscow have 15,501 artillery pieces, 1,463 tanks, and a total of 1,115 fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes.

The armament of the German army at this time included 10,290 artillery pieces, 675 tanks, 1,216 fighters, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.

Although judging by the number of artillery, the Allies had the upper hand. But the Germans had four large-caliber train guns that the Allies had not delivered, as well as a large number of heavy rocket-booster bombs. These were the greatest advantages that the Germans had.

"Let the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment immediately enter the predetermined position, and when the German planes come, I demand that they must hold their positions! No matter what the cost, their only purpose is to knock those damned Germans down from the sky!! ”

The 1077th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment originally did not exist, but it was a specially improvised anti-aircraft artillery unit formed by the Soviet Army in response to the air superiority of the German army.

Since a large number of adult males were put into the active infantry assault units, these defensive units had to be selected from among young Soviet female volunteers who were not trained to shoot at ground targets.

In the beginning. Tukhachevsky, who gave the order, was reluctant to send this force. But the current situation of the war no longer allows him to choose. Therefore, the marshal of the Soviet Union gritted his teeth and sent out all this anti-aircraft artillery regiment.

Whether it works or not, at least they are the best cannon fodder right now. There is no requirement for how many German fighters they can shoot down. However, they were required to hold their ground and constantly attack the German air forces.

Tukhachevsky's reason for doing this was simple: to deter the German bomber forces from dropping bombs on Moscow easily.

As long as most of the fortifications in Moscow remained intact, then the Allies had the possibility of keeping all of Moscow. Otherwise, once all the fortifications have been destroyed, then the Allies will only enter the stage of exchanging lives for lives.

"Buzz buzz ......" At this time, a roar was heard in the sky. Tukhachevsky sighed, the Germans are here after all.

"Let our air force units not go out for the time being. All fighters are warmed up and waiting for orders! Tukhachevsky gave the order and bowed his head and continued to study the map.

At this time, the female soldiers of the 1077th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment were already pushing one anti-aircraft gun after another into the firing position under the command of their respective commanders.

After the German fighters approached Moscow's airspace, the roar of these anti-aircraft guns suddenly rang out!

"Tom tom tom ......" in the roar of anti-aircraft guns. Countless shells flew into the sky, forming a barrage of swarms. Anti-aircraft shells exploded in the sky, and those flying fragments of shells suddenly filled the sky of Moscow.

German fighters also spotted these anti-aircraft artillery units in the city, and under this threat, the Germans had to choose to pull up their fighters to try to avoid the Allied anti-aircraft artillery bombardment.

The bomber units that had already flown over Moscow were extremely quick to drop their own bombs and quickly pull up and evacuate.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Boom ...... "It's a pity. Although these German bombers discovered the problem, they did not move quickly enough. And there were too many anti-aircraft guns of the Soviet army.

Under these circumstances, more than 20 German bombers of the first batch were shot down, and as many as eight were shot down. The rest, after dropping the bombs, quickly pulled up and withdrew from the battlefield.

At this time, the German troops did not try to forcibly break through the anti-aircraft barrage of Soviet troops, but circled and reconnoitred for a while and then withdrew from Moscow's airspace one after another.

"Report! Comrade Tukhachevsky, we received information from the front that the planes of the Germans had been evacuated! The adjutant excitedly said to Tukhachevsky: "Our battle plan has worked. ”

"Well, now let them all evacuate their positions and hide! At the same time, the fighter units were ordered to immediately rise into the air, believing that it would not be long before the Germans would come and attack again......"

Tukhachevsky said to his adjutant without raising his head: "Let the ground forces prepare to enter the position!" ”

"Yes!!" The adjutant replied in a loud voice, and then walked out of the headquarters and began to give orders.

And at this time. Eisenhower and Montgomery also entered the command. Tukhachevsky's command just now was all a tripartite agreement between them, and the anti-aircraft artillery unit was also organized by the Soviet army itself.

Let's be honest. In Eisenhower's opinion, the level of the 1077th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment organized by the Soviet Army was too good. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns were used, and only eight German bombers were shot down.

This level is really speechless. At the same time, however, Eisenhower knew that he could not force this improvised antiaircraft artillery regiment unit, which had no training or combat experience, to achieve the shootdown rate of ordinary troops.

"You have come at the right time, if our estimate is correct, after the next wave of attacks, the Germans will begin to break through to the city of Moscow."

Tukhachevsky raised his head, looked at Eisenhower and Montgomery and said: "The ground troops are ready to enter the position at any time, I believe that soon their ground forces will attack......

After a pause, Tukhachevsky picked up the report that the adjutant had just handed over and said hatefully: "Where did these damn Germans get these bombs?!" The power was so great that even the basement in the area that was hit was destroyed. At least one company of troops was buried in the cave......"

"This is not the first time that the Germans have used such bombs, they have used them in the war against Britain." Eisenhower smiled wryly and said, "Actually. Our allies, the Wehrmacht, should also have such bombs. ”

"Oh?! What's going on?! Did the Chinese give this technique to the Germans ?! Tukhachevsky frowned and asked. Montgomery shook his head.

"It's unlikely. I estimate that this kind of bomb was originally jointly developed by China and Germany. After all, they had a long honeymoon period in their early years. At that time, Germany imported a large number of raw materials from China. Including soybeans, iron ore, coking coal, silk ...... Wait a minute. ”

Montgomery paused and said, "According to our guess, this bomb should have been jointly developed by China and Germany at that time. After all, we know China's R&D strength very well. So far, they don't have the ability to develop such a bomb independently......"

Eisenhower smiled undeniably, this general of the British Empire was still in the early nineteenth century, right?!

You must know that although China still has a lot of shortcomings compared with British and American technology. But it can also be regarded as an industrial power in the Yahoo region.

After so many years of development, and taking advantage of the economic crisis in Europe and the United States, they have brought a large number of engineers and technicians from Europe and the United States. Take advantage of this crisis. It has greatly improved its industrial technology level.

Of course, Europe and the United States are not living Lei Feng who give benefits to China for no reason. It was only after they had gained a lot of benefits from working with the tiger that they turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

As long as it does not dig up the foundations of European and American countries. Then it is also possible for some skilled workers to go to China. Moreover, the Chinese side is not without saying this.

China has given the prime ministers and presidents of the United States and the United Kingdom large numbers of jobs in exchange for votes.

At the same time, the wages of those recruited workers will also be fully taken over by the governments of the countries to which they belong. It can be said that Tu Menghu used such a way that is acceptable to Europe and the United States in the economic crisis. Constantly increase their technical strength.

Iron ore, petroleum, coal and smelting ...... jointly developed with the United Kingdom and the United States and so on. Britain and the United States have benefited a lot. At the same time, it also solves the employment problem of a large number of workers.

In return, Britain and the United States provided large loans to the governments of the three eastern provinces before the war began. Two-thirds of these loans are low-interest loans, and the rest are interest-free loans.

Of course, the United States is not stupid to give cash directly to China. Most of what they gave was supplies or weapons and ammunition.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble!! "In the skies over Moscow, Allied and German warplanes were slaughtered. From time to time, Allied or German warplanes were shot down in the air......

At this time, the two sides of Moscow were fighting each other, and the German fighters immediately encountered the Allied fighter planes after entering the airspace of Moscow.

This time, I came over. There are no bomber troops. It's all fighter units. When these fighters saw the Allied fighters, they did not hesitate to pounce on them.

The German pilots were smart. They knew that even if the Allies placed a lot of anti-aircraft guns underneath, as long as the fighters of both sides were entangled, the anti-aircraft artillery units below would not dare to shoot easily.

It is a pity that they did not know that the anti-aircraft artillery regiments of the Soviet troops had long since withdrawn from their positions. Now only Allied warplanes are fighting with them.

"Quick! Surround them! Bite the tail! Tail biting!! "The German army's communicator has long been equipped with fighter planes, through which they can communicate smoothly.

This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet army suffered a crushing defeat at the German army in the early days. The early Soviet fighters were not equipped with this kind of communication equipment, and when they were equipped with this communication equipment in the later period, the German army had already used the early results to pose an oppressive threat to the Soviet army.

At the same time, the German army, which had greatly increased its actual combat capability, was simply not something that the Soviet army could cope with. At the time of the German raid, a large number of Soviet pilots with actual combat experience had been lost.

The newly recruited pilots only underwent a short period of training before taking to the skies. The result of such an encounter between the two air forces can be imagined.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! "Another Allied fighter plane was hit, and this one was shot in the tail. It was emitting black smoke while the pilot was still trying to control the fighter.

But apparently, the fighter plane has lost control and is constantly falling. In desperation, the pilot had no choice but to parachute to escape......

"Boom...... Rumble!! At this moment, several loud noises were heard. German train artillery blasted a huge gap in Moscow's outlying positions.

Immediately, the dust and smoke filled the entire battlefield, and after the smoke, you could faintly see that German tanks were constantly rushing towards the city of Moscow.

At this time, Allied units began to move into positions. One by one, infantry guns and anti-tank guns were pushed into position. The Soviet soldiers took out a lot of explosives for backup more directly.

All the Allied troops that had entered the positions were quietly preparing. In the attic, in the bunker, on the corner of the street, in the basement, in the living room of a certain room......

The whole of Moscow is a huge position. Although German artillery fire destroyed part of the position, they were unable to destroy all of it.

Even if they raze all these buildings, then the rubble of these buildings will be the best barrier for the defenders.

"Don't take a step back! Or die a glorious battle, or engrave your shame on the pillars of history! "Before the troops set off, Trotsky made the final mobilization to the Soviet soldiers by means of a broadcast from the bomb shelter.

"Let's fight for the Motherland! Here, it's Moscow! ”

"Ula~~" The Soviet soldiers, who had lived and died for several years, responded to their chairman with this roar. The brutal encirclement war since the beginning of the Soviet Union officially began...... (To be continued......)
