In order to hold Moscow, the Soviet Russian top brass can be said to have made a bloody investment, not only transferred all the troops that could be mobilized around it, but also transferred more than half of the small ammunition stocks to the Soviet troops guarding Moscow, although the Soviet army did not have tanks, armored vehicles and fighters, not even large-caliber artillery, but this time the Soviet army prepared a large number of bullets, grenades and explosives, in addition to some mortars, mountain artillery.

In order to deal with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese army, the Russians tried their best, and in the absence of weapons specifically for dealing with tanks, the Russians thought of a simple transformation of the mountain artillery, so that the mountain artillery could fire horizontally, which was indeed an effective way to deal with tanks and armored vehicles.

Seeing that Moscow's periphery could not be defended, the Soviet Russian army withdrew to Moscow at night before the Chinese army launched a large-scale full-front attack, and arranged layers of defenses in the city.

Small buildings of three or four storeys are everywhere in Moscow, and these small houses are basically made of stone, which are very strong and durable, and can be used as bunkers.

In view of this, the top brass of the Soviet army thought of arranging all the small buildings in Moscow into pillboxes, and each small building was equipped with a platoon of troops to defend.

In order to increase the defensive strength of each small building, the Soviets deployed a platoon of troops in each small building, equipped with a mountain gun, a heavy machine gun, a mortar, rifles, pistols, bullets, shells and grenades.

The Soviets made careful arrangements for this purpose, they deployed each small building into a strong fortress, and deployed mountain guns capable of flat-firing in the basement window, and the muzzle of the gun faced the direction of the Chinese attack from the ground window. This would adequately protect the artillery, even if the house collapsed. Artillery and artillery in the basement were also safe.

On the other side of the basement, a person was assigned to guard, observe and liaison, and dig a trench about five meters in front of the first floor. The trenches were covered with logs and turf, and five to seven people were deployed in the trenches, and all other windows in the basement that did not face the Chinese army were blocked. The soldiers in the trenches can echo the soldiers upstairs, and the attacking Chinese troops will inevitably be hit up and down.

On the first floor, the Soviets deployed a heavy machine gun at the window, machine gunners, ammunition men, and soldiers armed with rifles, where the machine gunners could directly strafe the Chinese troops attacking head-on, and others could shoot from other windows. Holes are made in the walls between the connected rooms to facilitate communication and support between the front and back rooms.

on the second floor. An appropriate number of soldiers were deployed to shoot at the windows, from which they could throw grenades at the attacking Chinese troops.

On the third level, the Soviets deployed sharpshooters with better marksmanship, and the number was not necessarily large, and the purpose was to use the condescending advantage to snipe the attacking Chinese soldiers. A staircase between the second and third floors allows soldiers to go up and down for reinforcements at any time.

In the attic or on the fourth floor, a mortar is arranged, and a small window is opened in the roof to open a trajectory for the mortar. This can not only conceal the position of the mortar and play a protective role, but also allow the mortar to shell the attacking Chinese army.

The defensive deployment of this small building will be the existing weapons of the Soviet army. All that can be used has been used, and their role has been maximized, and the defense has almost achieved airtightness, layers of cover, and free mutual support.

The only drawback of the Soviet army was the lack of weapons. If at least two machine guns were deployed in a small building, the Chinese offensive would be extremely difficult.

After the Chinese army captured all the positions outside Moscow. There was no rush to attack, after the fire test and reconnaissance of the reconnaissance troops. The Chinese army found that the wall-piercing tactics used in Japan could not be used, this is not Japan, and the houses here are not wooden brick houses, most of the houses are made of stone, and it is basically impossible to use the wall-piercing tactics in cities full of stone houses, and the Japanese houses are easy to blow through with explosives, and if the stone houses here are to be blown up with explosives, a large amount of explosives must be used.

Moreover, the houses here are all small buildings, and there may be dozens of Soviet soldiers hidden in each small building, and the infiltration tactics of small units in squads are not very likely to win in the face of this situation.

In order to thoroughly test the defensive strength of the Soviet army in the city, the Chinese army launched a small-scale attack on March 16, which allowed the Chinese army to find out the defense situation of the Soviet army, but also suffered a lot of losses. In just one day, more than thirty tanks were lost, and more than a thousand people were killed or wounded.

In order to take Moscow as soon as possible, the Chinese army had to try their best to develop an effective and feasible offensive tactic against the deployment of the Soviet army. After all, you can't let a squad of soldiers attack a small building where a platoon is stationed, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, after all, in terms of individual weapons, the Chinese army does not have much advantage, in terms of rifles, the Chinese army's rifle advantage is that the rate of fire is faster, but this advantage can not make up for the huge gap between the attacker and the defender, in terms of combat quality, the Chinese army is indeed much higher than the Soviet army, but the Soviet army's will to fight is very tenacious, With a squad to fight a platoon, no one dares to pat their chests to guarantee that they can win, and the houses in the city are one after another, and they can cover each other's horns for reinforcements, even if the special forces can't do anything in such an environment. In the event of a large-scale attack, the forces cannot be deployed in the long and narrow streets, and the more people there are, the more casualties there will be.

After a day of fighting, the Chinese army summed up a little experience, and found that in order to attack the small buildings defended by the Soviet army in the city, it was first necessary to clear out the mortar in the attic of the opponent, this mortar was a huge threat, it could not only shell the infantry of the Chinese army, but also knock out the machine guns and mortars of the Chinese army's fire reinforcement.

After the Chinese army stopped attacking, it began to send a large number of bombers to bomb the city of Moscow, and for three days in a row, the bombing did not stop from 7 o'clock in the morning until it was dark at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

In any corner of Moscow, the sound of Chinese bombers whistling through the sky can be heard, and the shells falling from the sky make a scream, which is particularly piercing, and the ensuing explosion is deafening.

On the first day of the bombing, the Soviet troops staying in Moscow felt that the end of the world had come, from early morning to night, the explosions never stopped, there were explosions everywhere, dead people everywhere, the sound of buildings collapsing everywhere, the whole city was shrouded in smoke and dust, the hungry and thirsty Soviet soldiers hid in various buildings and shivered, only the Soviet soldiers hiding in the basement felt safer, but if the whole building collapsed, then they would be buried alive, which was even more tragic.

After nightfall, the bombardment stopped, but the Chinese artillery began to fire again, which forced the Soviet soldiers, who had just prepared to come out to breathe, to retract again.

An hour of shelling caused the collapse of some houses inside Moscow, and the Soviet soldiers inside were buried inside, and God probably knows if they were still alive.

After the end of the shelling, the Chinese army began to infiltrate the city in squads, and under the cover of night and the effect of daytime bombardment, the Chinese army successfully captured a block in the city, but also paid some costs.

In view of the fact that the Soviet army was equipped with mountain artillery capable of flat-firing in the basements of small buildings, and the Chinese army did not have tanks and armored vehicles to open the road in front, these two things could only become live targets for Soviet artillery, and had no other use.

In the face of the Soviet army's use of small buildings as defensive bunkers, the Chinese army had no other way than to compete with the Soviet army for the time being, but the Chinese army was obviously stronger than the Soviet army in terms of weaponry, and its firepower was much stronger.

The overnight attack did not make the gains of the Chinese army very large, but they finally gained a firm foothold in the city, and all that remained was to wait for dawn, after which the bombers would continue to bomb.

After the daytime bombardment the next day, the Soviet losses were even greater, and many Soviet strongholds in the city were bombed. However, in view of the loss of a block on the first night, the Soviets strengthened their guard and defense on the second night, and this time the Chinese army achieved very little success.

When the Chinese commander learned of the situation, he decided to wait for the three-day bombing to be over before attacking according to the established tactics, and now let the bomber group clear some Soviet strongholds as much as possible.

The Soviets spent three long days in Moscow, which were like deep hell, and the original good city was reduced to rubble under the three-day bombardment, and after the bombardment, there were very few buildings left intact in the entire city of Moscow.

The Chinese army launched an offensive on the fourth day, and for this offensive, the Allied headquarters equipped the attacking Chinese troops with a large number of smoke bombs and anti-gas masks, and once the smoke bombs were used, they had a huge effect, and each of the Chinese army's offensive detachments in squad and platoon units threw smoke bombs at the small buildings garrisoned by the Soviet troops before the attack, and the smoke bombs immediately emitted a large amount of smoke, which to a large extent blocked the sight of both sides.

Soon there were a large number of footsteps and the roar of tanks on the quiet street, which was actually a recording played by the Chinese army with a gramophone, and the Soviet soldiers hiding in the small building did not know that this was the Chinese army playing ghosts, they heard a large number of footsteps and the roar of the tank, which meant that the Chinese army began to attack, in the case of not seeing the other party, in order to prevent the Chinese army from rushing over, they opened fire together upstairs and downstairs, and the mountain artillery, rifles, heavy machine guns and mortars that could be fired horizontally all rang out, At this time, a large number of gunfire and artillery were also heard from the Chinese army, which made the Soviet troops in the small building even more frightened and fired faster.

Smoke grenades were thrown into the grenadiers one after another, and the smoke did not dissipate for an hour, but after an hour, the Soviets finally noticed that something was abnormal, and they stopped firing, and then they realized that the ammunition had been exhausted. (To be continued......)
