Chapter 1094: Moscow of Blood and Snow (1)
"Kill!!" After the Germans entered Moscow, there were shouts everywhere. The Allied soldiers came out of all corners of the city and opened heavy fire on the German troops.
In attics, in churches, on street corners, in inconspicuous shacks...... and other places, all of which became Allied firing points. The German troops who entered Moscow fell into a hail of bullets in an instant.
Although they had already been mentally prepared for the situation in Moscow, they only knew how much the Allies had prepared for their attack when they actually stepped into Moscow.
At the moment of gunfire, the German infantry sought cover to avoid the bullets. But soon, the German soldiers, who were looking for shelter on the spot, were shot and killed by the Allies.
That's when they realized that there didn't seem to be any such thing as a shooting blind spot here. There are Allied firing emplacements on all sides, and everywhere there are a large number of Allied troops striking at them with all kinds of weapons!
"Dada...... Rumble! Rumble!! "......The German tanks began to play their role as a fortifier, and they rotated their turrets to shell every firing point.
Their assistance to the infantry played a certain role. At least for now, it looks like most of the firing points are muted, much to the relief of the German infantry.
"Tom ~ Tom ......" But just as they were about to stand up, the sound of shelling suddenly exploded on the corner of the street and in the rubble! Then, before they could react, several shells fell on the crowd of German troops.
And those exposed tanks were directly hit by shells.
"Boom! Rumble!! Boom......" suddenly. The German offensive cluster was filled with artillery fire. Countless figures fell in response, and terrible screams rang out in the crowd.
"Quick! Let the fighters come to their aid! Fast!! The company commander, who was directing the German attack, screamed in a terrible manner at the sight of such a situation. The signal corps, on the other hand, is constantly trying to get in touch with the rear through the radio.
"Boom!!" There was a smoke of gunpowder. I don't know where to rush out and think that the Soviet soldiers pounced directly on the German tank without saying a word, and then the earth-shattering explosion sounded!
However, I saw that the Tiger was directly overturned by a violent explosion, the tracks of the tank were blown off, and the front part of the tank and part of the chassis were blown into a large piece.
"Damn it! Cover the tank retreat! Fast!! The German company commander's eyes were red, and he immediately ordered: "Withdraw to the periphery and establish a new defensive line, and don't attack again until you get support!" Fast! ”
Soon, the German tanks received orders. Immediately the entire German attacking team began to cover each other and retreat to the rear. There is no way. If this fight continues, this small force may have to die here.
Because after the tank was blown up, gunfire was heard again from the Allied firing points. It was only a moment of effort, and more than a dozen people lay down.
Those anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns were constantly bombarding the positions of the German troops. There is no doubt about it. The entire attacking force was already exposed to Allied fire.
Attacking is out of the question. The follow-up troops were obviously blocked, and they did not reach their positions at this time. If they use tanks to force their way in, then they will be the ones who will be surrounded and annihilated.
That is, now they have tanks in their hands. It's easier to take it down. Once these tanks are destroyed, then they become turtles in an urn.
"Dada...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" gunfire and explosions rang out incessantly. Although the Germans were at a disadvantage, they were not destroyed and panicked. They retreated to the rear in alternate cover according to their own formation.
And their withdrawal, the Allies did not pursue. It is only after the shooting has been stopped that they begin to rescue their own battle-damaged personnel and repair the firing points.
When the Germans withdrew from the range of Allied fire, they gradually stabilized their position. At this time, a company of more than a hundred people remained less than forty people.
In less than half an hour of fierce fighting, more than sixty people remained in the Allied positions. Of the four tanks that assisted in the operation, three were withdrawn.
One was overturned on the ground. With just the strength in hand, the company commander did not dare to stop. Otherwise, the German army would be in danger of total annihilation at any time.
"Lieutenant Angela! Can you explain why you are here, and not in the front position?! "At this time. German support units finally caught up.
The commander of the Kurt regiment, who commanded the operation, roared angrily at Lieutenant Angela: "If there is no reasonable explanation, I can shoot you right now!" ”
"Colonel, you can take a look at my troops. Do you think we still have the ability to continue fighting......" Lieutenant Angela said with a wry smile to Commander Kurt: "It's only been half an hour, and my company has lost more than sixty men and one tank. ”
"The whole force is exposed to Allied fire, if I don't withdraw with the company again. Maybe we won't be able to get out......"
Commander Kurt looked at the German soldiers covered in gunsmoke and scars, and did not say anything more after all. When he first rushed in from outside the city, he was also met with strong resistance from the Allies.
None of the six tanks that accompanied the army survived, either being destroyed or having their tracks blown off. The Soviet soldiers were like crazy people, strapped a large amount of explosives to their bodies and jumped out to detonate them while the tanks were advancing.
The city is filled with gunsmoke and bombed-out houses, and you can't tell where the enemy might be hiding. Because here there is a possibility that there are enemies hiding everywhere.
They may be hiding under the rubble, or they may be hiding by the window of a house. They may even be in an attic somewhere, on the corner of a street.
Nowhere in the city is safe, that's how Chief Kurt feels.
"Colonel, are we holding out here or withdrawing from Moscow?!" Lieutenant Angela looked at Kurt tiredly and asked, "The soldiers need to know what they should do now, and the highest commander here is you......"
Colonel Kurt looked back at the hundreds of people he had brought with him, and couldn't help but lose his speech for a moment. Hold on?! Just a few hundred people. Can you stop the Allied attack?!
There were Allied troops everywhere, and their firing points were completely impossible to determine on their own. And there is no certainty when their own support will arrive.
But if you choose to withdraw. Then the risk will be even greater. By the time it first came over, it had already lost six tanks. Now that they only have three tanks in their hands, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for them to break out.
And now, Colonel Kurt understands why Angela would so easily walk through his ambushed position. Quite simply, the Allies abandoned their plan to clean up this squad with firepower.
The target was set on Kurt and their team. Of course, Angra and the others only rushed less than a kilometer before they were volleyed. And even the firepower was not much worse than that of the allies who attacked themselves.
If it weren't for Angela's timely choice to withdraw, it might have been as he said. The entire company had three tanks with them, and they were all going to die on that position.
Arguably. Now Colonel Kurt is in a dilemma. Neither is it advancing or retreating.
"Call the command first, report our situation, and ask the command to give direct instructions." Ultimately. Colonel Kurt chose this surest path.
For now, Kurt doesn't know what's going on outside. He urgently needed to contact his own command and get information on the offensive situation of his troops. At the same time, the command also has a better understanding of the situation in other departments.
their commands. It will better coordinate the pace of the offensive between the various departments.
"The official offensive was only half an hour. More than half of the five divisions we attacked have already been lost......" German Field Marshal Bock took the interim report and smiled bitterly at Rundstein.
Although they knew that this attack would be extremely difficult, they did not expect that the losses at the beginning would be so great. True, the losses of the Allies will not be much smaller than theirs.
But the current situation is that the German army simply does not have so many troops for them to deploy. The Allies gathered more than 1.5 million troops here, while the Germans only had more than 1.1 million.
What is even more terrifying is that the allies and more than 300,000 Chinese defense force troops are coming. At the same time, there were newly trained troops from the United States mainland who had arrived from Canada, and troops newly organized by the British army.
Not to mention the USSR. The amount of troops they invested during this period even made the Germans think that the Soviet Union had some kind of machine that could produce people continuously, so there was an endless stream of troops pouring into the positions every day.
Sold out of a batch. The Soviets immediately replenished the second batch of troops. It seems that their forces are endless, and they can't be exhausted no matter how they consume them.
"No matter how hard it is, we must fight it too! We have only ten days to take Moscow, and the Führer has already given the order to die. Demand that we must take Moscow before the support units of the Wehrmacht arrive! ”
Rundstein took a deep breath and said, "Our support force is already on the way. This time, the Führer sent 300,000 troops to support. ”
"William of the Supreme Command. Marshal Keitel told me that this time the Führer made a lot of determination. For this reason, Germany made a fourth general mobilization, the only purpose of which was to completely defeat the Soviet Union......"
Bock couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he could only smile bitterly. The Führer had already begun to gamble, and he was gambling on the fate of all of Germany. But this is also a helpless move.
Now that the Allies and the Axis powers had no room for maneuver, the two sides could only continue to fight to the death.
Neither can compromise, then there can only be one outcome between the two sides: one side falls. Those who fall will succumb. Those who continue to stand are able to carry out their will.
This is now the direct situation with Germany and the Allies. Either the Germans will win in the Soviet Union, which in turn will threaten Canada and the United States. Either the Germans were defeated here, and then the Allies took advantage of the situation and directly threatened Germany proper.
Other than that, there is no other way to go.
"Order all the troops that entered Moscow, defend on the spot! The rest of the troops immediately organized new siege troops to support the troops that had invaded Moscow! ”
Bock knew that since the Führer had chosen to fight to the death. Then there is no reason for others to stop attacking. Now it is easy to build some strongholds in the city of Moscow, and if you don't hold them, you will only pay a greater price next time you capture them.
"Let the sappers follow the troops into Moscow and calculate the position of the Allied forces. I authorize them that they may have the right to apply for assistance from artillery, the Air Force at any time......"
Bock issued more than a dozen orders in one go, each of which was intended to ensure that the German troops in Moscow could survive as much as possible.
Rundstein didn't stay at the headquarters for long. He chose to leave when Bock gave the order. He was to return to his troops and begin to organize an orderly attack on Moscow.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! The German bombers began to bomb the Soviet troops in Moscow without regard for life and death under the cover of fighter planes.......
This time they did not use a small number of heavy bombs. Instead, it carried an ordinary aerial bomb. Under the cover of fighters, a full-scale air raid began on the whole of Moscow.
The Allied fighters immediately took off to meet the enemy, but they were unable to deal with them due to the dogfight of German fighters. Just shot down a few, and the rest could only watch them fly away.
"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" German train guns were not idle, and a large number of shells were pouring into the city of Moscow.
Every time there is a bombardment, the entire area of the house will be directly razed to the ground. Even the basements of many houses were blown open, and the Allied troops hidden in the houses or basements were directly blown up to bloody pulp.
Moscow after being shelled by train shelling. There was a lot of crying and screaming everywhere. Countless wounded were rushed to hospitals in bomb shelters.
A large number of roads, power lines, underground pipes and other infrastructure were destroyed, and the water in those pipes was even sprayed on the streets. After some of the bomb shelters were hit by train shells, they were even faintly in danger of collapsing.
"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ...... "The rest of the artillery of the German army was not idle either. The Germans, who had already learned about the situation in Moscow, began to report back the coordinates of some of the exposed fortifications of the Allies.
Then the German artillery began to strike at Moscow, and countless shells rushed towards Moscow. Houses were destroyed by artillery fire, rubble flew everywhere, and steel flames engulfed the city.
Everywhere there was smoke and flames caused by violent explosions. Shelling, bombing. Shelling of large-caliber shells. The whole of Moscow was destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seems that the heavens do not want to see this kind of tragedy of crazy fighting with each other of the same race. The originally clear sky was slowly covered with dark clouds. And those gentle breezes seem to take away the souls of the city that have passed away......
"Quick! Save people, ......" such cries were everywhere, and countless Allied troops fell in this frenzied shelling. Blood and stumps were sprayed all over the ground.
They were okay, and many of the Allied soldiers who were directly hit in the hiding place couldn't even dig up their corpses. In other words, I am afraid that I will not be able to find it if I dig it out.
"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Da ...... "The Germans who received the order to hold on were not having a good time, and the Allies immediately guessed what they thought when they saw these German troops building positions.
There was no doubt that the Allies would never allow the Germans to plant a nail in the city. Therefore, the annihilation of these German units is now the main task of the Allies.
A large amount of heavy firepower was mobilized. It was a non-stop strafing of these German troops. The flat-firing guns were also hit, and they bombarded these German troops incessantly.
"Annihilate them as soon as possible! Messages have already been sent from the troops at the front. Their support units are on the way. We can't let them survive! Fast! Offensive! ”
The Germans moved quickly, and after their artillery and bomber units began to act, the support units on the ground were identified. More than twenty divisions began to rush towards the German strongholds in Moscow.
The Allies on the periphery are now trying to slow down the German offensive with the help of fortifications, rubble and peace artillery, while the Germans are using tanks and artillery support to strike at Soviet positions.
"Comrade Trotsky, we have a great loss now...... "One of the remaining committee members said bitterly to Trotsky, who was rudely interrupted by Trotsky before he could finish his sentence.
"The enemy also suffered great losses! What I want is to hold on, to hold on to that Moscow no matter what! Every house, every street, and even every window here, as long as there are our Soviet soldiers, even if there is only one person, will become an impenetrable fortress for the enemy! ”
"Death or death! There is no other way to go! Trotsky was completely red-eyed, and whispered to the speaking member of the Supreme Council of the Soviets: "Fight, this is for the Motherland!" For the Soviets! ”
At this time, the whole of Moscow seemed to have turned into a huge melting pot. The heat set off by the shells made the city extremely hot, and it was through this heat that it continued to melt the lives here......
Or rather, Moscow now is more like a giant millstone. Both the Allied and German armies continued to invest bean-like troops, but in the battle, they were crushed into powder by this millstone.
The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and there were burning stumps everywhere. But the sound of gunfire and fighting has not stopped.
"Ula~~" The Soviet army roared with bayonets and sapper shovels and rushed towards the Germans, launching the most tragic and bloody white-knuckle battle in the battle.
The Germans, who were forced to fight, roared and fought with the Soviets.
This situation is constantly playing out everywhere in Moscow, but the two sides of the white-knuckle battle may be replaced by Germany, the United States, and Germany and Britain. But the only thing they have in common is that they are all frantically trying to completely annihilate each other in their positions.
"Tom...... Rumble!! "In the face of the Allied anti-aircraft guns, the Germans quickly came up with a countermeasure. A large number of PAK-38 anti-tank guns were sent to the battlefield.
In the endless battle between the two sides, some white melt flowers suddenly drifted down from the sky. These melted flowers slowly slipped from the sky with a slight chill...... (To be continued......)
