The autumn rain is dripping, the wind is encouraging, and the time has just entered October, and the land of Eastern Europe is enveloped in a cold that belongs to the early winter. The cold raindrops were blowing freely under the frost and wind, and the thousands of miles of battlefield soon became slippery and muddy under their infiltration, and the soldiers of both sides were struggling in this Ze country, and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land could be seen everywhere in the wolf bèi figure rolling like mud monkeys.

For the Imperial Russian army, which was determined to clear the universe and reforge the old country, this eternal rainy season undoubtedly played a great hindrance to their offensive. With the exception of a few wide-tracked tanks with less ground pressure, almost everything that could move on land was stuck in the mud: the gaps in the tires and tracks were filled with the pervasive mud, making it difficult for vehicles, artillery, and personnel to move. Under the muddy drag, the front-line soldiers and rear transport teams of the Imperial Russian army were exhausted, and their advance speed was greatly reduced, and they no longer had the same smooth situation as before.

In the face of this situation, Qingying, who was behind the scenes in this war, had no good way. Although he has deployed two air armies to Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, and airlifted supplies for the imperial Russian army in the name of "Russian Volunteers", this kind of twin-engine transport aircraft that can only carry 3~4 tons of supplies at a time has limited delivery capacity after all, and it is categorically unable to maintain the needs of hundreds of thousands of troops in fierce battles. And even if Qing Ying gathered forces to ensure the supply of the troops of the satellite countries, the poor road conditions also plagued those front-line soldiers who needed to attack the city, and in this environment, the constraints on the attacking side were undoubtedly far greater than those on the defender!

"Let little Alyosha put the army to a halt for the time being. He has been waiting for more than ten years. Can't afford to wait for this month? "I received telegrams from the imperial and Russian military asking for help from the Ukrainian Military District one after another. Qingying shook her head helplessly and said. Russia's muddy roads can be called a nightmare for any army. The non-fully tracked mechanized corps could not be overcome; And even the current German Army does not have the wealth to such an extent. In late autumn, a month later, the temperature in Eastern Europe will drop below 0 degrees Celsius at high latitudes, and by that time, the muddy swamps will turn into hard frozen soil, and people and vehicles will be able to move normally.

"In addition, send a telegram to the Imperial Russian army to prepare the necessary forces to form a new tank regiment; A consignment of special armored combat vehicles has already departed from the railway stations in Germany to the East, and will soon be delivered to them. Qingying looked at Manstein, the First Quartermaster in front of him. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "These chariots are the latest masterpieces of the MAN company, and even the German army has not yet had time to equip them, and the Imperial Russian Restoration Army will be the first force to own them." I told Alyosha Jr. that these chariots were a belated birthday gift from me, and I believe that they will exert their due power in the siege of Moscow in a month's time. ”

On 4 October, a special flatbed train loaded with armoured vehicles rumbled to the railway platform in Belgorod. Due to the need to receive a large amount of material aid from Germany at any time, the imperial Russian army undoubtedly paid special attention to the construction of its own rear railway, and after a short time, this batch of up to 200 chariots was unloaded in the joint efforts of many personnel. And what surprised Trugin, the major general of Imperial Russia who came to receive supplies, was puzzled. These steel beasts, shaped like tank destroyers, were actually armed with a very low caliber short-barreled gun, and its caliber was quite impressive. Preliminary visual inspections are at least 150 mm or more!

"General Trukin, this is a precious gift from His Majesty the Emperor of Germany to the Tsar of your country." On the platform with the whistle blaring, Dietrich, wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder, was giving a brief introduction to Truking. Although Dietrich's military rank was two ranks lower than that of the other party, the round body of the Imperial Russian Major General was like a tame tanuki, and the face of the Germans was full of respectful and flattering smiles. To this day, in the eyes of the Russian Emperor who seized the Don River, the behemoth of Germany is already a being that must be honored except for the Virgin Mary; Whether it is their dedication to their aid and construction for more than ten years, or the great martial arts created in the world war that has just ended, the subjects under the rule of the emperor and Russia worship them like gods, and they dare not have the slightest idea of rebellion, not to mention that the current battle for restoration must rely on their full help!

"As you can see, these vehicles are based on the chassis of the Type IV tank, which is completely common to all of its various variants in terms of repair parts; Its most distinctive feature is that it is equipped with a 170 mm L12 gun in the center of the hull, which is designed to destroy enemy fortifications at close range. The weight of the shells fired by this type of gun reaches 75kg, which is 10 times that of the 75mm gun, and its low muzzle velocity gives it a large charge coefficient comparable to that of mortar shells, and the actual destructive power will be on a higher level. With just 2 or 3 shells, a large building or artillery bunker can be completely destroyed, which is almost impossible for any land weapon except the train cannon! To make it more adaptable to the intricacies of fighting in ruined city blocks, we also built the Grizzly assault gun with extremely strong armor: its 60-degree inclined front and 30-degree inclined flanks were both 80 mm, almost on par with the Tiger. And judging by the previous battles of your army, this armor can be called completely indestructible. Dietrich said.

Hearing Dietrich's words, Trukin's heart was shocked, and an unconcealable ecstasy instantly surged into his face. This kind of performance is clearly designed for urban street fighting, and at a time when their own army is about to attack Moscow, which has more than 500,000 buildings, the Germans' equipment is completely like a drought and nectar for themselves, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a gift from the gods! For a moment, Trugin's heart was so excited that he forgot even the usual words of thanks.

"As soon as these assault guns appear on the streets of Moscow street fighting, it will be a nightmare for the Red Russian defenders. With its precise close-range shooting, it can directly blast a target building into a collapsed ruin, or blow the ruins of an enemy hiding in pieces, which makes any form of sneak attack and see-saw in street combat useless. Even in sustained combat, the Grizzly assault gun is quite good, with a full combat weight of 34 tons giving it up to 45 rounds of ammunition; Considering its sheer single-shot power, a single assault gun can run over a street from the front! These latest assault guns were originally prepared for street fighting in North America, and now that the North American war is over, your army has now become their first users. Dietrich smiled.

As the autumn winds fade and the chill mounts, the greenery of Eastern Europe fades, and the first snow of winter soon arrives in Moscow and the surrounding area. The disgusting mud began to harden and freeze in the sub-freezing temperatures, and it was no longer soft and sticky, and this was the ideal situation that the entire Imperial Russian army had been waiting for. After a month's silence, Germany provided countless supplies and munitions to its satellite countries, and the gap in hard power between the fierce Imperial Russian army and its opponents was undoubtedly sharply widened again. Facing the fluttering frost and snow, they launched a landslide and tsunami attack on the Red Russian enemy on the re-established ground, and tens of thousands of shells and aerial bombs fell intensively on the defensive positions of the Red Russian army, reaping the lives of those young conscripts who lacked combat experience like waves of wheat under a sickle.

Although the Red Russian army still had an absolute superiority in numbers, they were soon defeated again because their technical weapons were not proportional to the opponent's weapons at all; The Imperial Russian army advanced rapidly towards Moscow at an average speed of 15 kilometers per day, and on November 7 reached the outskirts of the peacetime outskirts of Moscow with buses. Scouts peer north from the spire of a ruined church, where the Kremlin's tallest Savior bell tower is already in sight. In the gray sky of early winter, hundreds of German-made Ju-88 bombers flew by like dragon eagles, and the huge roar of the propellers was deafening: attracted by the high salaries of the imperial Russian government, a considerable number of Luftwaffe pilots became veritable "volunteers", piloting the bombers that the German government had provided to imperial Russia and embarked on the journey in the East. Compared with sending ground troops to participate in the operation, this kind of air support not only greatly reduced casualties, but also ensured the intensity of the enemy's attack, and was not left behind in evidence, which can be said to be the best choice for the German military to participate in the operation. With this opportunity, the Luftwaffe also put its own new model, which is currently in the testing stage, into actual combat, and thus gained valuable first-hand experience.

On November 8, the Imperial Russian army began to fully attack the southern suburbs of Moscow, and 200 Grizzly assault guns formed an offensive anvil, using their own armored artillery to carve a way forward from the enemy's layers of defense. Although the Imperial Russian armored troops had only been in contact with this vehicle for a month, it was no stranger to drive them into battle; The only lack of man-machine running-in is also made up for by its own strong armor. The Imperial Russian armored troops were soon fascinated by the superior performance of their new vehicles, which were completely Tyrannosaurus rexes active on the battlefield; Every time the cannon was fired, it was like a thunderbolt, magma erupted, the fortifications collapsed, and the enemy's resistance was wiped out in an instant!
