Both Lundstein and Bock issued death orders at the same time, demanding that the Germans must continue to advance the front. Most. At the same time, Hitler also issued a strict order: every position occupied by all German soldiers must be defended!

"These damned Slavs! We're going to let them fail, and what I ask of you is that you have to hold every position! Help will soon arrive, as long as you hold on! Waiting for support! ”

Hitler didn't say much, and Germany could be called the enemy of Europe after the complete occupation of England. The Italian forces suffered some losses in North Africa, but because the main Allied forces were not there, the only troops were crushed by the Germans.

There was no way, having lost England as a fulcrum, many of the battlegrounds in history were now being forced to cede to the Germans. Unless the Allies landed in England across the Atlantic to attack the Germans, they could only do so honestly from the Soviet Union.

Hitler was not telling a lie, German units throughout the Soviet theater were moving closer to Moscow. Needless to say, the Germans interrupted here to bring the Soviet Union to the ground running.

"Berlin has already received a message from China, and the head of state is now in a hurry. If we want to stop China's actions, we must crush all the Allied forces in the Soviet Union. Rundstein, who was in Bock's headquarters, looked at the generals present and said: "At present, there are more than one million Soviet troops in Moscow. The British and American troops combined also exceeded half a million troops. ”

"In short, if we crush all the Allied forces here. For the time being, the only ones who can wrestle with us are the units of the Chinese National Defense Forces. Relatively speaking, we will be much less stressed. And the tiger will hesitate to go to war with us......"

After a pause, Rundstein suddenly smiled and said, "However, this time we have a helper." Among the Italians who can't do anything, there is still a freak grown......"

With that, Rundstein handed a report to Bock. Bock paused for a moment, then took it and looked at it.

This is a biography about an Italian general. His name is Giovanni. Messer, was one of the few foreigners who was able to receive the Knight's Iron Cross.

And his eye-catching performance made Mussolini, who was very angry with his royalist status, have to choose to promote him to the rank and let him command the troops to come to the Soviet Union to support the war.

Before the start of World War II, Mussolini chose to go to war against Greece in order to save his reputation and prove the fighting power of the Italian army.

Of course, the biggest reason for this was Mussolini's jealousy of Hitler's success. He also hopes that he can achieve the same success and become one of the iconic stars of the Axis powers.

Unfortunately, the wishes are often good, but the reality is cruel. The Greek army of only 300,000 men was under the commander of Alexander. Papagos's leadership held back the Italian army, which was better equipped than him and numbered as many as 520,000 men.

The war was fought for almost four months, and Italy did not make much progress. More than 500,000 troops were held back in Albania. Fortunately, by this time Germany had completely won a victory over the British, and the impatient Führer could only draw part of his troops to assist Italy in conquering Greece.

The Greeks, forced by the German offensive, could only declare their surrender to the attacking German army at that time. Mussolini threw a tantrum over this and repeatedly addressed the Führer, which he considered to be detrimental to the dignity of Italy.

Under his **, the surrender ceremony was carried out in the presence of representatives of Italy, including Italy. After the final capture of Crete, a German-Italian coalition was held in Athens to celebrate the Axis victory, and Mussolini gave an impassioned speech promoting his Italian Mediterranean.

But this was a cover-up for Italy's defeat in Greece. In order to salvage Italy's reputation and strengthen Italy's position in the Axis powers, Mussolini had to use Giovanni, who had performed well in the war and had defeated the Greek army several times. Messer was the general and formed an army of 300,000 men in Italy to conquer Russia.

"Oh?! Being able to receive the Knight's Iron Cross means that the general is at least a soldier. Bock shrugged, considering that Bock himself had been awarded the Iron Cross a long time ago.

Speaking of medals, a knight's iron cross is not enough for this marshal to see. The Order of the Prussian Crown of the 4th degree, the Royal Order of Hohenzollern of the Knight's Sword, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin** Cross, the Iron Cross of the German Empire 1st Class...... Wait a minute. Bock even received the highest honor of the German Army, the Order of Merit.

If it comes to honors and qualifications, Marshal Bock can completely overwhelm Messe. Therefore, he only maintained the impression of a qualified soldier who was able to receive the Iron Cross.

Rundstein smiled and said, "Of course, we can't expect anything from them. But it's good to be able to help us block some on the battlefield......"

"It's completely finished. I don't see that they are still under the bite of the American army and the tiger, and there is still a possibility of their existence. With that, Rundstein shifted the conversation to the conversation itself.

At the mention of Ben, Bock himself suddenly showed an angry look.

"I really don't understand why the Führer would have agreed to make them allies with the short idiots! It seems to me that they did nothing in this war, except for Pearl Harbor and the early days of Southeast Asia! Bock angrily scolded: "It is precisely this group of idiots that causes us to have to face the pressure of millions of Chinese defense forces now......"

Strange to Bock's anger, Bock, who was the commander of the Second Military Region in Stettin at the beginning of Sino-German cooperation, once visited the then Wehrmacht of the three eastern provinces under the order of the then President of the Weimar Republic Hindenburg.

As for the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht, Bock had a good idea in his heart. And the tiger's ability to meet the source left and right, Bock also admired it very much. Hans, the father of the Wehrmacht. Feng. Seckert's attitude towards the slaughter of the Tiger also greatly influenced the attitude of other German generals towards the Chinese Wehrmacht.

"Well, Bock, my old friend. At least we still have a chance to win, don't we?! Rundstein smiled wryly and reassured. And in his heart, Rundstein added: as long as we can win the battle of Moscow......

Moscow, the capital of the former Tsarist Russia and the current Soviet Union with a history of more than 850 years, is known as the "Port of the Sea", with the Kremlin, the Convent of the Holy Virgin, and the Arc de Triomphe of Moscow...... and other magnificent buildings in Moscow, which no longer looks like at that time.

The whole city was littered with broken walls, and guns roared everywhere. From day to night, the fighting never stops.

What was once a centuries-old dwelling was reduced to rubble under the artillery. The monumental buildings disappeared directly in the smoke of gunpowder.

The Allies fought with the help of the ruins, so that the Germans chose to blow all the ruins to pieces over and over again. It is often said that it was "razed to the ground", but here it is really razed to the ground.

Even the frames of these buildings were blown up, and even the pieces that were scattered on the ground were blown up again. The Allies always hid under the rubble and attacked the Germans.

So, once they occupy an area, the first thing they do is to blow up all the buildings that can be destroyed nearby. All the rubble will be buried with explosives or cleaned up again with cannons.

This was an effective way for the Germans to reduce their casualties after capturing the ruins. But this also led to a large consumption of charges and explosives.

At the same time, this practice also caused certain losses to the Allies. Squads and snipers lurking in the ruins were often covered by German explosives or artillery without even attacking.

“…… From the time the Germans entered Moscow until last evening, we had suffered more than 250,000 casualties. The Germans occupied more than 20% of Moscow's city area, and their heavy artillery and bomber forces destroyed more than 80% of Moscow's buildings......"

At the same time, Trotsky, Montgomery and others were also listening to the report. Among those present, no one had a good-looking face. The battle damage during this period of time, everyone actually knows it in their hearts.

There is no doubt that the losses of the Soviet troops were the greatest. Of the 250,000 troops lost in the battle, more than 150,000 troops were Soviet troops. And the rest, the rest are the rest of the Allied forces.

"The most serious problem right now is that we are almost running out of medicines. If we don't get any more support, maybe we'll have to stop taking the medicine tomorrow......"

The terrible Patton, whose face was pale, asked coldly at the chief of staff of the Soviet army: "After all this bad news, isn't there no good news?!" ”

"There's one ......I don't know if it's good news," the chief of staff closed the paper, sneered at Patton, "because we have suffered so much that Moscow probably doesn't have to control grain now......"

Is this good news?! Patton and the others spoke, looking at the miserable laughter of the chief of staff, everyone was speechless. The food that was originally scarce now does not have to be controlled.

This shows how great the losses of the Allies were. Of the nearly two million troops, one-eighth were lost on the battlefield. It was true that there was no need for food control, and the soldiers who died in the battle had most of their rations free.

"Maybe I can tell you good news......" Tukhachevsky pointed his finger on the table and looked at the crowd: "Zhukov's 80,000-strong support force is only a week away from us......"

80,000 people?! Eisenhower laughed miserably, what kind of role can 80,000 people play on such a battlefield?! Not to mention supporting the city, I'm afraid they are close to Dufa...... To be continued. )，
