In Moscow, the commander of the German-Russian army, German Army General Steinmetz and Russian Army General Fyodor. Admiral Berg is studying the deployment of troops. At present, the German-Russian army in Moscow has a total of more than 2 million people. Much more than the Chinese * troops surrounding Moscow outside the city. However, the two did not have the slightest confidence in holding Moscow.

"General Berg, the Chinese have now completed the encirclement of Moscow, and it is expected that in the next day or two, they will launch an attack. And our fortifications are not yet complete, and in the next words, I am afraid that there will be a tough battle to be fought. "Admiral Steinmetz is a little worried. The loss of three Panzer Divisions and one Infantry Corps of the German Army in one day was a great shock to him. As a senior general of the German Army, General Steinmetz is also very proud. However, through the battle of Stupino, he had to admit that the German Army had been left far behind by the Chinese Army.

Not only in terms of armored forces, there is a big gap between the German Army and the Chinese Army. There is also a big gap in other weapons and equipment. The German Army did not have specialized anti-tank weapons. But the Chinese Army already has full-fledged anti-tank tactics. As for the Air Force, the gap between the two sides is even greater. The Luftwaffe only had a few planes for reconnaissance purposes. The latest fighter jet is also in mass production. However, judging from the performance of the fighters of both sides, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force can completely throw off the fighters of the Luftwaffe for several streets. As for the bombers, the bombers of the Luftwaffe probably remained on the drawings. And the bombers of the Chinese Air Force have already been put into real combat. And it caused great damage to the German-Russian coalition forces.

"Yes, General Steinmetz. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese is becoming more and more terrifying, compared with the past. It has grown by leaps and bounds. We have been left far behind by them. "Fyodor. Admiral Berg said with a bitter face. The so-called senior general of the Russian army, he participated in many battles with the Chinese Empire. In the beginning, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Chinese Army was a little higher than that of the Russian army, but it was also extremely limited. However, as time goes on, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army is getting weaker and weaker, while the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is getting stronger and stronger. By now, the Russian Army had been left far behind. It can be said that the Russian Army has become synonymous with garbage. The Chinese Army has become the strongest army in the world.

"General Berg, although the current situation is very unfavorable for us. However, we are not without a slight chance of winning. This is Moscow, the Chinese are not familiar with it, on the contrary, we are very familiar with the terrain here, and we can use the terrain here to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese and fight the Chinese. In urban street fighting, the combat effectiveness of armored units will be greatly affected. This may be our chance. What's more, it's already the end of September. Soon, the cold winter in Russia will be the general. Those Chinese are not very hardy. As soon as we are able to drag the battle until winter. That's our victory. At that time, we will be able to defeat the Chinese in one fell swoop. Admiral Steinmetz said with a firm expression. The reason why he decided to lead his army to hold on to Moscow was to take advantage of the harsh winter in Moscow to destroy the Chinese army.

"Yes. The harsh winter in Russia could be defeated even by Napoleon the Great, who swept across Europe. These Chinese. Although they are even more powerful than Napoleon the Great. However, I am sure that the cold winter in Russia will also give them a terrible taste. "Fyodor. Admiral Berg nodded. Winter in Russia. The lowest temperature can reach minus tens of degrees. Russians are accustomed to such cold, but foreigners simply cannot tolerate it. When the time comes, it will be time for the Russian army to counterattack.

"It's just over a month away from winter. As long as we hold on for more than a month, we will be able to usher in a turnaround. I believe that with a total of two million troops of our army, it will not be a problem to hold out in Moscow for more than a month. Admiral Steinmetz said. Moscow is also a big city. It's not the largest city in Europe, but it's one of the largest cities. In addition, they have far more troops in their hands than the Chinese. If you use the buildings in the city to defend yourself, you may not be able to resist the Chinese. What's more, their aim is to drag the war on until the cold winter comes. In this case, their odds are much better.

"From now on, our two armies must work closely together and work together. Otherwise, we may not be able to resist the Chinese. Admiral Steinmetz said solemnly. This is a battle inside Russia, and without the full cooperation of the Russians, their combat effectiveness will not be fully displayed at all. When fighting against a strong enemy like the Chinese Army, it will be especially affected.

Fyodor. Admiral Berg hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, from now on, the Russian army under my command will all be under your command. If someone dares to disobey orders, they will be directly court-martialed. ”

Fyodor. By saying this, Admiral Berg undoubtedly transferred the command of the troops to the Germans. He knew that if Russia wanted to win the war, it had to have the full support of the Germans. Otherwise, instead of winning the war, you will suffer defeat. In the event of a fiasco, the consequences will be very serious, and Russia will be directly annihilated. Germany, on the other hand, could retreat to the country and continue to fight even if they were defeated in Russia. That is, the Germans can afford to lose, and the Russians can no longer afford to lose.

Besides, if this war can be won, Fyodor. Admiral Berg would also become a hero of Russia, and he might even be promoted to field marshal of the Russian Army and chief of the General Staff of the German Army directly by virtue of this victory. Therefore, as long as you can win, even if you hand over the command, what is there?

"Well, from now on, our army must speed up the construction of defensive offensives. Barricades were to be built on every street, and machine gun fire points were to be built on every building. As long as the Chinese dare to storm Moscow, we will make them pay the price and let the Chinese shed their blood here. Admiral Steinmetz said firmly.

In his opinion, the Russian army, which has a sufficient advantage in troops and is still on the defensive, undoubtedly occupies a great advantage in street fighting. Once the Chinese army launches an attack, then it is very likely that they will be able to hit their heads on the defense line and break the blood. Perhaps, without waiting for the cold winter to come, the Chinese will have to abandon the attack on Moscow because the losses are too heavy.

"That's right, let the Chinese shed their blood in Moscow, let them know that Europe is our Europe, not something that the Chinese can occupy." Fyodor. Admiral Berg also shouted.

St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia. In Tsarskoye outside the city, Tsar Alexander II summoned the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, Duke Gorchakov, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Marshal Wittgenstein.

"I heard that the Chinese have already surrounded Moscow? Does this mean that it will not be long before I receive a war report on the fall of Moscow? Alexander II's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. The Russian army continued to lose on the battlefield, large areas of the country fell, and the army suffered heavy losses. Now, even Moscow is surrounded by Chinese. This made Alexander II very dissatisfied with the performance of the army.

Moscow is one of the most important cities in Russia! Like St. Petersburg, it is also the capital of Russia. Now that Moscow is surrounded, it is conceivable what kind of turmoil it will cause to the whole of Russia if Moscow falls.

"Your Majesty, although the Chinese surrounded Moscow. However, now Moscow is still under the control of the coalition forces. The coalition forces in Moscow were two million people, and it was impossible for the Chinese to occupy Moscow. Duke Gorchakov said.

"Really? Your Excellency the Duke, can you guarantee that Moscow will be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese? Alexander II asked.

"Uh......" Duke Gorchakov was suddenly speechless, he naturally did not dare to make such a guarantee. If he had promised the Tsar, and Moscow had fallen, then he would have to bear the wrath of the Tsar.

"Your Majesty, the coalition forces have built a strong defensive offensive in the city of Moscow. Plus our army is much more than the Chinese. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Chinese will capture Moscow. There is a greater possibility that the Chinese will break the blood in Moscow with a bang. Marshal Wittgenstein said. However, the Chinese Army is too strong in combat and is also good at creating miracles. No one dares to guarantee whether the Chinese Army will have the strength to capture Moscow. Therefore, everyone did not dare to say it too absolutely.

"Two million people defended Moscow, and only half of the Chinese attacked. Even so, don't you have the confidence to hold Moscow? "Alexander II was somewhat furious. However, he can also understand that after experiencing one defeat after another, the Russian Army has already had a psychological shadow on the Chinese Army.

"Your Majesty, in another month, winter will come. As long as we can survive this month, when winter comes, we will not only be able to hold Moscow, but also launch a counterattack against the Chinese. Duke Gorchakov said.

Now, the Russian army has taken the cold winter as the only savior. (To be continued......)
