Chapter 1106: Moscow of Blood and Snow (13)

A new battle began without warning, and after less than two weeks of silence, the Germans and Soviets in Moscow fought again.

The first thing the two sides fought together was not the ground troops, but the fighters in the air. More than 1,000 German warplanes took off directly in rare fine weather in an attempt to sweep the Allied positions exposed in Moscow.

Of course, the Allies refused to let the Germans realize their ideas, and because of the strangeness of the German army, all the Allied fighters that had been transferred to the Chinese side returned to the United States.

At the same time newly trained pilots from Canada are also coming along with Hugh. General Dowding went to the Soviet Union to assist the Allied ground forces in the operation. Kalinin used his best efforts to prepare 150,000 troops for Chuikov and then rushed to the front as the second group of troops to support Moscow.

The new units organized by the Germans in the rear had also taken shape and were rushing towards Moscow. Italy's Mussolini also sent 300,000 Italian reinforcements to the ground.

This battle, which was originally a battle between the Soviet Union and Germany, began to gradually change under the wrestling of all parties. Moscow at this time became a huge volcano and a crazy millstone.

At any moment, a frenzied flame of steel erupts here, destroying everyone and everything. Every inch of the land here grinds all the people who walk in into the blood and minced flesh of the city.

In the midst of the frenzied Moscow, the total number of troops invested by both the Allied and German armies has reached more than four million to this day. The casualties on both sides have ranged from tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, to the present, and the total casualties have approached one million.

This huge mill of flesh and blood, the Germans felt fear. And why aren't the Allies afraid?! If it weren't for Zhukov's troops arriving at the most critical moment, perhaps the Allies would have been in a semi-collapsed state by now.

With Zhukov as a peripheral support, at least the Allies knew that they had not yet been abandoned. As long as they know this, they dare to continue fighting.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ...... "Ammunition for machine guns and machine guns flew everywhere in the sky. Allied and German warplanes were in full swing.

Today's Allied forces have gradually matured after a bitter battle with the Germans. From being directly tortured and killed at the beginning, to gradually being able to resist reluctantly.

By now, the two sides have been evenly matched. Allied pilots with extensive combat experience were sent to the rear in large numbers to train new pilots.

Some pilots of the Chinese National Defense Forces were also invited to lecture on their combat experience to the Allied Forces. and served as an instructor for a large number of Allied pilots.

Here I have to sigh at the accumulated heritage of the British and American countries, and there are a large number of small aviation schools in the United Kingdom and the United States. Their citizens include a large number of people who have experience in flying airplanes.

With a little allocation, these people are fully capable of doing the work of some combat pilots. After only a few lift-to-air battles, they will gradually mature and become excellent combat pilots in the Air Force.

In terms of ground handling, they have a large number of ground staff due to the large number of aviation schools. These personnel can be transferred to serve in the army in wartime.

They only need to understand certain military directives and learn some military-specific take-off and landing commands and regulations to be able to do ground service work competently. These good backgrounds were deeply envied by the pilots of the Wehrmacht.

These conditions are completely absent at the moment, and there is really no way. The country is too poor, and even if the tiger has three heads, six arms, and seventy-two changes, it will not be able to pull a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country into a country like Europe and the United States that has accumulated industry for more than 100 years or even hundreds of years.

These things need to be done little by little, and they can't be implemented right away. Even if an aviation school is opened in China now, how many people will be able to participate?! The high cost of driving training and aircraft leasing is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Boom...... Damn it! These British and Yankees are getting more and more difficult, who the hell trained them?! This bastard deserves their medal, but deserves to be assassinated by our Gestapo!! ”

The German flight captain complained angrily in his flight channel that the team that followed him had now been shot down by two, and the rest were also in turmoil.

Although they had shot down more than five Allied fighters, these pilots were among the best in the German army. The captain felt that it was not worth it to exchange with the Allies like this.

"Captain, what should I do?! Are we going to keep fighting?! Soon, the pilot who shot down another Allied fighter plane with the cannon "Tom ......Tom" asked his captain through the communication channel.

"The tower didn't give me instructions to go back, we only have to fight to the end," the captain said fiercely to his teammates...... "Die in this airspace, or kick those damn Slavic pigs down with their ** friends!" ”

"Kill them!!" There was a roar in the German communication channel.

In fact, these German soldiers were the ones who were most sensitive to the disadvantages of the battle. This kind of combat mode of 1 for 2 or 1 for 4, 5 for 6 on both sides was fundamentally unfavorable to the German army.

The Allies could draw a large amount of manpower to continuously form new combat units, and then, under the leadership of veterans, quickly form combat effectiveness and continue to fight the Germans in various positions.

But it was completely impossible for the Germans to do this, first of all, the population of Germany itself was limited. When it comes to population, they are completely incomparable to the Allies. Secondly, in terms of resources, although for the time being Germany can compete with the allies.

But if the war drags on for a long time, Germany's scarce abundance of rare minerals will be depleted. Or because of the lack of manpower, they have to fall into a production stop.

The allies, on the other hand, have no such concerns at all. Or rather, their concern is not a concern at all. The U.S. has a large pool of spare workers, workers who have left businesses during the economic crisis.

These people were well placed in the jobs needed for the present war, and at the same time they could join the army and take direct part in the war against Germany.

Moreover, the Allied forces had a joint zhèngfǔ with an extremely large population and resources, and a joint zhèngfǔ with a population of hundreds of millions could fully provide labor exports and bear all the labor services between the countries participating in the war.

The large and extremely effective Wehrmacht units were even more feared by the German army. Once the Rìben was settled and millions of Wehrmacht troops were thrown into the Soviet battlefield, the Germans probably would not be able to hold out for long.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble!! "A German fighter plane was blown up in the air, and the fragments of the fighter plane fell from the sky with bloody, burning corpses and tail flames......

"Oh God...... What should we do......" The German captain of the flying group was close to collapse, shooting down a large number of Allied fighters, but welcoming more Allied fighters.

These allied forces seem endless, and they are always able to show up in droves. The Germans shot down three or five of them, and immediately seven or eight of them could be seen flying towards them.

"General, we've lost more than one hundred and thirty-eight warplanes so far. The General Staff suggested that it would be better for us to temporarily stop supporting Moscow......"

Stop. In General Dowding's command, the adjutant forwarded the advice of the General Staff to Hugh. Dowding. But Hugh. Dowding didn't even look at it, and threw the proposal out of the window.

"These idiots will only feel sorry for the fighters, what else can they do?!" Stop. Dowding shouted with a bruised face: "Now is the most critical moment for us to wrestle with the Germans, and if we retreat at this time, the Germans will go further!" When the time comes, the entire airspace of Moscow will again be occupied by them! ”

"Only by taking advantage of the fact that the air force units supported by the German army have not arrived, and first inflicting heavy damage on their existing air force battle groups, will we have a chance to regain the initiative in Moscow's airspace......"

"General, I know what you think. But the reality is that of the 1,200 fighters we have, we have lost 138 in less than an hour...... No, it's one hundred and sixty now! ”

At this time, a British general with an ugly face walked in. He was now Chief of the General Staff of the British Imperial Air Force and Chief of the General Staff of the Allied Air Force in the Moscow Theater of Operations. Horton.

"Horton! I don't care what you think, but the offense must not stop. Otherwise our offensive ahead will be in vain! "Hugh. Dowding stood up with a hula and stared at Horton.

But Horton sees Hugh. Dowding's appearance couldn't help but smile bitterly. Horton then handed Hugh a document he had in his hand. Dowding, said: "This is not something we can decide, our command has chosen to retreat in the face of huge losses......"

Stop. Dowding's face changed suddenly, and then he snatched the file to take a look. It can only fall into silence.

This was the request sent by the Soviet Kalinin to the Allied forces in Ottawa and Washington, and they demanded that the current Allied forces must stop supporting Moscow. Because, in their opinion, such support now does not benefit the situation in Moscow at all, except for causing heavy losses to itself.

Rather than wasting these precious air forces, it would be better to preserve them for the development of the Soviet Union's own air power. The Soviets have now received a commitment to provide a large number of warplanes.

What they lack now is a large number of pilots, a large number of skilled pilots. In Kalinin's opinion, instead of expending these pilots in the skies over Moscow, it would be better for them to train the Soviet Union's own pilots.

"If so...... We will not be able to achieve air superiority over Moscow for a long time...... "Hugh. Dowding smiled helplessly.

In fact, he understood Kalinin's thoughts very well, after all, the USSR did not develop as it did historically. The situation is even worse than in China.

Under such circumstances, it was not uncommon for the Soviet Union to choose to borrow the power of the Allies to increase its own strength.

"General, what do we do now?!" Horton confronted Hugh. Dowding asked, as chief of staff, he could only have the right to advise. And the command is really resting. Dowding's hand.

But, when the time comes, Hugh. What else can Dowding do?! The British side did not want its air force to be consumed in the skies over Moscow like this, while the US air force was in transit or preparing to go to Rìben to fight. There was no time to support the USSR.

In the early stage, the Allied forces were still fighting vigorously without the support of fighter planes. Therefore, the top leaders of the Allies will have the idea of withdrawing the air force and training the Soviet air force at the same time.

As a result of the early fighting, a large number of experienced Soviet Air Force pilots were lost in air combat, and the Allies now had a limited number of qualified fighter pilots.

Therefore, the training of fighter pilots in the Soviet Union has become an urgent matter.

On the side of the allies, both the Soviet Union and the British and American leaders hoped that the Soviet Union could have a large number of its own pilots to reduce the support pressure of the Allied forces, and the Soviet Union itself hoped to train a large number of fighter pilots of its own.

The two sides hit it off, and support for Moscow can only be suspended.

"Inform the fighters in front of you, take them down......" Hugh. What else can Dowding say?! In terms of tactical and local strategic considerations, even if there is a certain amount of losses, as long as Moscow's airspace superiority can be obtained, these sacrifices are worth it.

But the top brass of the allies considered the overall strategy of the entire war. There is nothing wrong with the consideration of both sides, but the focus is different. And Hugh. Dowding was just a general, and he couldn't disobey the orders of the Allied leaders.

Just as he could not disobey the order of the British Parliament, even if this order was too much for him to obey as a soldier.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! At this time, the biggest air battle since the beginning of the war in Moscow's airspace gradually came to an end. Both the Axis and the Allies paid a heavy toll on them.

In this aerial contest, the Germans temporarily gained the advantage of Moscow's airspace under the abandonment of the Allies. Nearly 200 Allied fighters were shot down, while nearly 150 German fighters were also killed in the air battle. The two sides fought a lose-lose game.

"The Allies have given up for the time being, but I don't think these guys will just abstain so easily." Rundstein also saw the performance of the Allies on the battlefield, and his face was very unsightly.

In the early days, Allied fighters were no match for the Germans. But now, they can compete with the Germans. This was not good news for the German army.

"The war has been going on to this point, and we have no choice but to go on." The commander-in-chief of the German Air Force, Goering, had flown to the outskirts of Moscow and was now attending a meeting of senior German generals.

The once obese commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe is now emaciated. This is not his voluntary emaciation, but the recent losses of the Air Force in Moscow have caused him to increase the pressure dramatically.

The cold weather in Moscow and the huge losses of the Air Force caught the commander by surprise. Hitler was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the Air Force, and repeatedly suggested that Goering should get out of here if he couldn't do it.

As a result, his originally obese figure gradually lost weight, and in the end he could only arrive at the Moscow battlefield with his jīng sharp pilots and come to the front line to see in person.

"Fight it, or we'll kill these bastards. Or, we are killed by them. Goering's face was full of anger and he said irritably: "We have no other choice! ”

At Goering's side, the stars will now shine. The current commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe Soviet Theater Air Force, Albert Brown. Admiral Kesselring, who has a deep knowledge of aviation technology, is the one who has a deep knowledge of aviation technology. Senior General Milch, who has extensive experience in air combat command and has been called "the strongest general of the Wehrmacht". General Speerer.

At the same time, Goering brought a large number of Luftwaffe aces. Hitler couldn't wait, Germany couldn't wait. Goering himself could not wait, and for this he even healed the rift between Kesselring and Milch in the most violent way, giving them the highest authority to win the battle.

What started as a regional battle turned into a life-and-death contest between the Axis and the Allies. Both sides are competing in the hope of destroying each other's greatest reliance with minimal losses in this battle.

And for now, the Germans still have the upper hand. Although this advantage was extremely limited, it was the Germans who took the initiative.

"Marshal Rundstein, I want to say that now that the Allies have chosen to retreat temporarily, then we should seize this opportunity to take Moscow in one fell swoop!"

A hint of fierceness flashed in Admiral Michiel's eyes, and the huge losses of the Luftwaffe also made the Admiral extremely angry. Even the sum of the English campaign and the Low Countries campaign was not as great as the losses in the skies over Moscow.

The change in the Allied air force was clearly seen by this general with a technical background. He knew very well in his heart that if the Allies were not strangled as soon as possible, then in the end, the German air jīng rui would be lost in this war of attrition.

When the time comes, the Germans, having lost their air superiority, will face something completely conceivable.

"Our ground forces are ready, and as long as tomorrow the Air Force can destroy all of Moscow's designated targets in accordance with the strategic mission, we will be able to directly launch a second campaign......

Rundstein looked at the generals present and said, "At present, the most important thing for us is how to cut off all the support of the Allied forces. The Soviets have sent some reinforcements, and we need to stop them from supporting the city......"

Although the Germans could not determine Zhukov's position in the night, they judged by the intensity of the battle that the Allied forces in the city were supported.

Unfortunately, Zhukov's troops came to Moscow's aid at night. So even if the Germans knew about the situation, they would not be able to make an effective blockade.

"Tonight we will send out night bombers and fighters to try to cut off the Allied support channels. But we cannot guarantee that the Allies will not be able to support it......"

Göring, having heard Rundstein's request, looked directly at Michiel. And Michiel, as the general with the most solid technical foundation in the Luftwaffe, quickly answered this question.

"Tomorrow we will also carry out a bombardment of Moscow for an hour, and we want to know the artillery arrangements of the ground forces so that we can coordinate between the two sides."

Under the intense pressure of the Allies holding Moscow, the German army and air forces had to cooperate more closely. Fortunately, Germany does not have the brain-deficient army and navy awkwardness of Rìben.

In the air force, many of the generals are also from the army. Therefore, the cooperation between the two sides is still very tacit, and it is much stronger than the internal friction of the rì army.

"Our artillery will carry out a scheduled shelling of Moscow from 3 a.m., and the reconnaissance team has already detected some of Moscow's firing points and defensive points, as long as these areas are destroyed, the offensive of the ground forces will be smoother."

With that, Rundstein paused and said, "Now we are preparing for the shelling to last until five o'clock." And we hope that the Air Force will be able to carry out a large-scale bombardment of Moscow after the shelling is over......"

"That's fine, we'll do our best to support you as long as the weather permits." Kesselring looked at Rundstein and the others and said, "Our fighter forces will not stop supporting the ground forces in Moscow. You only need to provide the coordinates, and we can dive and bomb them. ”

"The fighter unit can also carry out a comprehensive fire sweep of the special areas marked by the ground forces." Kesselring had already gritted his teeth with hatred for Moscow.

Those damn Moscow anti-aircraft artillery units forced their bombers to not dare to dive bomb easily. And dropping the bomb in a hurry, the effect can be imagined.

Now that the ground and air forces are cooperating, Kesselring thinks that the Allied forces in the city are dead.

And just as the Germans were planning a full-scale battle for tomorrow, an emergency meeting was being held at the Allied top brass in the city. The fact that the Germans did not attack immediately after gaining air superiority made the Allied top brass a little worried.

"It's clear what the Germans have discovered. They're going to find a way to cut us off and then use their newfound ways to fight the next campaign......"

Tukhachevsky's face was ugly, and he would not have been in such a hurry if the Germans had attacked immediately after gaining air superiority. But the Germans stabilized, and it seems that they continue to observe the battlefield.

This made Tukhachevsky a little nervous, and it was clear that the Germans were very patient with the battle that was about to be launched. They are trying to choose the best time to make a decisive battle.

"No matter what they're up to, we're just going to hold on......" Montgomery's face was not good-looking, Hugh. Dowding had already informed the Allied generals in the city of the Allied high-level decision on air support.

They were not surprised by this decision at the top of the allies. However, the withdrawal of the air force had a certain impact on the morale of the city. If support is cut off at this point, the effects will become even more severe!

"For the time being, we won't be able to get more support. At present, we can only hold on, and this situation will not change until the new batch of pilots is trained......"

Eisenhower was also uncomfortable, and the Soviet losses were heaviest during this time. And the losses of the American army are not small. And the terrible thing is that the bitter cold in Moscow blocked the support route of the American army.

As a result, the huge losses of the US military cannot be effectively replenished, and they can only be supported on the front.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until then......" Patton was not optimistic about the current situation, the German firepower was too superior.

Due to the lack of preparation in advance, the Allies were almost helpless against the heavy firepower of the German army. Anti-aircraft artillery is now used as a ground defense force in addition to air defense.

A large number of anti-aircraft guns were deployed in various concealed positions to attack the attacking German infantry and tank units.

"If our staff had not erroneously deduced, the Germans would have carried out extensive bombardment and shelling early tomorrow morning. The next ground battles will be even more difficult......"

Trotsky's face was not good-looking, but Hugh. The evacuation of Dowding and the others was agreed to by him. He hoped that the move would be exchanged for an increase in the Soviet Union's own air power.

The huge losses of the Soviet Air Force have always been a lingering pain in his heart. If the Soviet Union could have had a good air force, it would not have been beaten so badly by the Germans.

Many of the defeated German units collapsed under the frantic bombardment of the German army. Many fronts also fell under the bombardment of the Germans.

The huge, powerful bomb was the culprit for the heavy losses of the Allies.

The power of the Heavy Rocket-Booster Bomb is unforgettable for all who have been attacked by it. Of course, there is no living person who is directly hit.

The only ones who survived were those who saw its power from afar. The soldiers who were directly hit had already been razed to the ground along with their fortifications.

"Chirp...... At this moment, the sound of aircraft screaming and explosions was heard outside the bomb shelter of the headquarters....... Numerous German night fighters and bombers flew over Moscow and bombed Zhukov's convoy.

On the water, countless ships were bombed to pieces. The entire Moskva River was soaked in blood and broken wood, and violent explosions detonated the ammunition carried on board from time to time, triggering a martyrdom that blew the entire ship to pieces.

Even if they were not directly hit by the bombs, many of the boats were overturned in the huge waves set off by the bombs. The icy water was full of crimson blood, and people who had fallen into the water could be seen screaming everywhere.

"Buzz...... "German warplanes began to fly low and swept the Soviet fleet and overboard transporters on the river.......

These fleets were not regular fleets, and they had no power to fight back against German fighter attacks. They looked desperately at the approaching German fighters in the sky, and could only close their eyes and wait for death......

"Report! Our transport ship was attacked by German bombers and fighters and is now suffering heavy losses! General Zhukov asked for our help, and he wanted us to send anti-aircraft artillery units to drive those German fighters away! ”

Soon after, Trotsky and others, who were meeting in the bomb shelter, received the report of the battle. Hearing the news that their support fleet had been attacked, everyone's faces suddenly changed wildly.

Tukhachevsky, Eisenhower, and others immediately rushed out of the conference room and ran towards the general staff. After receiving the battle report, Tukhachevsky immediately gave the order without any hesitation.

"All the anti-aircraft artillery units will come to the aid of the Moskva River at once! Chase away all those damn Germans!! Tukhachevsky was quite calm and continued to order: "Order all the detachments to move towards the Moscow River and block possible interference and attacks by the German army!" ”

"Immediately telegraph Hugh. General Dowding, stop the transfer! Ask him to send all the night fighters at once, and we must make sure that the fleet is supported......"

Tukhachevsky issued more than 20 orders in one go, and these orders were issued one by one. Suddenly, Moscow, which was originally silent like a night beast, came to life, and countless figures ran in the night.

Bursts of roar were also heard from the Allied airfield outside the city, and one after another fighter planes quickly rose into the air under the command of the tower and flew towards the airspace of Moscow.

"Tom...... Rumble!! "Fierce clashes erupted near ......the Moskva River, and countless bullets tore through the silence of Moscow's night with a torrent of bullets, weaving through the heaps of ruins.

The Germans and the Allies were in the dark, and there were fierce battles in the night. The machine gunners on both sides received the most attention, and their fire was so obvious in the night that almost all of their fire was rushed towards the position of the machine guns.

"HQ! Headquarters! We need artillery support! We need artillery support! The coordinates were ......" German officers kept calling for fire support from the rear through communicators, and the artillery that had been prepared to be launched in the early hours of the morning had to be activated at this time.

A large number of artillery shells bombarded the positions of the Allies, and the Allies used light mortars to bombard the German positions.

In the dark night, the two sides could not see each other's appearance at all, and everyone was fighting according to the light of fire and experience. There were constant attempts by Soviet and American troops to outflank or rear the German army.

The Germans, on the other hand, were constantly bombarding Allied positions and support units with their heavy firepower.

"Boom, boom...... "As the intensity of the battle continues to increase, both sides involuntarily and comprehensively involve themselves in this sudden chaotic battle.......

The Germans didn't really think about starting a war in the middle of the night at all, they just wanted to blow up the convoy that was sending support to Moscow at night. The small German detachments along the river were only trying to take advantage of this opportunity to try to sneak up on the Allied anti-aircraft artillery units.

But the Germans did not expect that the Allies would gather their small detachments towards the river for the sake of the fleet. In order to recapture the besieged German detachments, they had to move more troops and firepower to the river.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "The anti-aircraft artillery units of the Soviet army, taking advantage of the cover of the night and the superiority in numbers, finally knocked down several German bombers......

But their losses were also severe, as their running positions were exposed, which led to the shelling of German heavy artillery units. The anti-aircraft artillery units, which did not have time to move their positions, suffered heavy losses, a large number of anti-aircraft guns were destroyed, and the artillery suffered heavy casualties.

"Quick! Kill them! Don't give these Germans a chance to call in artillery! Fast!! The Allies soon realized that this was the work of the German squads, and they now had to destroy them.

Otherwise, the losses of the Allies will continue to increase.

"Order the anti-aircraft artillery units to withdraw immediately, and the various detachments to move their positions to block the German support units! The small detachment near the river searched for and rescued the transport team that fell into the water......"

The news of the battle soon reached Tukhachevsky, who was keenly aware that it would definitely be the Allies who would suffer if he continued to fight.

In desperation, he could only order the antiaircraft artillery units and small detachments to withdraw from their current positions. Instead, they blocked the German detachments that came to support.

"The bombing mission was immediately over, and the bombers quickly returned. All the night fighters took off at once, some of them maintained a cruise over the river, and the other part waited for operational orders in the airspace of Moscow......"

Kesselring quickly discovered the problem, and he decisively ordered all the bombers to return. The Allies would certainly not miss this opportunity to attack the German bombers, and Kesselring quickly adjusted the mixed formation of bombers and fighters to a complete fighter formation.

Let the fighters maintain a patrol of the Moskva River on the one hand, and let the fighters wait for orders to support the German ground forces at any time.

"Buzz...... At this moment, the airspace over the Moscow River was filled with gunfire and the roar of aircraft engines, and Allied fighter support arrived.......

The cruising Germans immediately engaged them in a fierce air battle, and the crew of the transport on the Moscow River was constantly being searched and rescued by the Allied soldiers, who tried to save everyone as much as possible.

However, the Germans did not give them this opportunity, and countless shells continued to pour on the Moscow River. The flames of the explosion lit up the entire river as if it were daylight.

The machine guns of the German squad roared incessantly, and countless Allied soldiers were torn into mutilated corpses by bullets. A large number of shells fell around the river, and the Allies were forced to face increasing casualties.

"It must be taken down! Otherwise, before dawn, our troops will completely lose their combat effectiveness! At this time, a fierce quarrel broke out in the Allied command headquarters.

This was the most intense quarrel since the establishment of the headquarters. The reason for the quarrel was that Trotsky thought that there was no point in continuing to save people, and that it was imperative to keep the troops in his hands.

Tukhachevsky, on the other hand, believed that no matter how big the losses were, it was necessary to rescue the crew of the transport who had fallen into the water. Otherwise, it will make the rest of the crew despair.

From now on, those who can drive boats will refuse to support Moscow. Moreover, it will also deal a huge blow to the morale of the city.

"I think we should withdraw now, and exposing our troops to German fire is not a wise choice. They will destroy all our living forces with heavy firepower......" Montgomery cautiously expressed his opinion.

"Now that we've rescued those who can be saved, it's not good for us to hold on any longer......"

"I don't think the same as you, if we give up saving the crew at this time, then they may not give up supporting us......

Eisenhower shook his head and said, "And the soldiers in the city will also lose confidence in future battles because of our decisions." After all, if we can give up the crew who supported us, then we may not give up on them......"

The arguments between the two sides were extremely fierce, and neither was willing to make concessions on this issue. Since the command could not agree on the opinions and new orders could not be issued, the battle could only continue according to the previous orders.

"Now that the casualties have increased to more than 4,300 people, how much do you think our losses will be by dawn?!" Trotsky took the losses reported by the General Staff, and his face was terrifying.

"Comrade Tukhachevsky, I know that you do not think it is right to abandon those crew members. Admittedly, I admit that this is not true. But if we don't give up on them, then we ourselves will be consumed! ”

"I don't think that after a terrible attrition, tomorrow we will be able to have enough jīng strength and combat power to face the strong attack of the German army!" Trotsky glanced at the crowd and said, "Chuikov's support force is still three days away from us. If our losses are too great, we will not be able to continue to hold Moscow even if he comes to the rescue! ”

"But if we don't come to the rescue, then our only combat confidence will be lost. Then we will face a more serious problem! Tukhachevsky's face was ugly, while Trotsky waved his hand.

"Tomorrow I will go to the battlefield myself! This can always save morale, right?! Trotsky's words made everyone startled, go to the position?! This one is dangerous!

"Nope! Comrade Trotsky, you can't do that! Your identity determines that if something goes wrong on the battlefield, our morale will be hit even harder! Tukhachevsky did not hesitate to object.

Eisenhower and others also made it clear that if Trotsky appeared on the battlefield, there was no doubt that his area would definitely be attacked by the Germans.

The Germans would do whatever it took to capture or kill Trotsky, as this would definitely undermine the confidence of the Allies. And it was able to plunge the Allies into chaos for a while.

Even the entire Allies could be plunged into a period of chaos by the death or capture of Trotsky.

"Comrade Stalin has already come to Moscow with Chuikov's troops, and even if something goes wrong with me, I believe that he will be able to continue fighting for the Soviets and for the Allies in my place!"

Trotsky's face showed a rare hint of resoluteness, but he saw him firmly facing Tukhachevsky and the others: "Order the troops to stop the search and rescue immediately, and all the squads will enter the latent state!" ”

"Tell them that tomorrow I will be on the battlefield and fight side by side with them!" Trotsky abruptly got up, pressed the table and said fiercely: "Even if I die in battle, we will not lose!" As long as there is a Soviet, these ** should not be delusional to be able to take Moscow! ”

Tukhachevsky was silent, what else could he say ?! He could only give Trotsky's orders, and he knew that this was the best way to do it.

Trotsky would take all the risks to preserve the strength of the Allies.

"Tell those Germans on the big radio that tomorrow I will meet their challenge with my fighters!" Trotsky shouted: "Let them come!" (To be continued.) )
