Therefore, Stalin ordered the Soviet infantry to go up to as many floors as possible, poke out of the window and attack the German troops on the street, which received a very haode effect, especially the high-powered defensive grenades that basically exploded in the air after being dropped from the upper floors, causing huge casualties to the German officers and soldiers on the street. Moreover, this style of play also exposed the weak tops of German tanks and other armored vehicles to Soviet firepower, and even the powerful Lion tanks were destroyed by Soviet infantry anti-tank weapons, which made German commander Manstein furious. Although the Germans quickly used various methods such as anti-aircraft tank strafing and snipers to restrain themselves, the cloudburst bombs did not work, and the German casualties were much larger than expected, and more importantly, the Germans wasted a lot of time in order to clear these "dangerous buildings".

In addition, the ancient barricade tactics were built in a relatively open environment, which could greatly reduce the lethal effect of cloudburst bombs, and at the same time effectively deter the German army, and even if it was broken by the German army, the Germans had to dismantle it to allow the tanks to pass, which bought valuable time for the evacuation of the Moscow masses

Even so, the cloud burst shell still played a certain role, even without considering the special killing effect, the power of the individual cloud burst shell is not inferior to a 120mm caliber mortar shell, but it is extremely flexible and convenient to use, so that those Soviet troops who rely on the barricades to block the attack suffered heavy losses. The Soviet troops on the tall buildings on both sides of the street, although they played the role of surprise soldiers, also fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness. In the face of the attack of the German army's local superiority, these nails were finally pulled out one by one, although the purpose of their hard fighting - "buying time" - was achieved

But no matter what, the Second Battle of Moscow still made the Germans unforgettable, the Soviet army's effective tactics and tenacity in fighting to the death made the German army pay a huge price beyond imagination, and many Soviet civilians who did not have time to evacuate frequently pulled the grenades issued before the war and died with the German army.

In the end, the Germans fought hard for a month before occupying the entire city of Moscow, and eliminated more than 100,000 Soviet troops, but the Germans themselves paid a heavy price of more than 300,000 casualties, including more than 50,000 dead in the battle, and the cruelty of the street fighting was once again proved. What was even more difficult for the Germans to accept was that. The vast majority of civilians in Moscow were evacuated safely. Even the main Soviet forces of the Moscow Military District withdrew mostly to save the living Liliang, and at the same time destroyed most of the factories in Moscow in time, and the Germans were only able to occupy an empty city of little use, just like Napoleon in history. This made Manstein feel uneasy.

Soon Manstein received another piece of news that annoyed Manstein. Some German troops, especially SS units, suffered heavy losses in street battles. After the war, he took his anger out on the Soviet civilians in the city who had not had time to evacuate and massacred them. Combined with the losses caused by the Luftwaffe bombing during the evacuation of the citizens of Moscow, the number of dead and missing civilians in the Soviet Union during the Second Battle of Moscow was as high as two or three hundred thousand, but the atrocities of the German army further aroused the hatred of the Soviet military and civilians against the invaders. After that, it became more difficult for the Germans to capture prisoners, and the attrition of the battle increased

But this was all for later, and for the Allies in 1944, the fall of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, was undoubtedly a heavy blow, and the jets and new medium tanks used by the German army for the first time on the battlefield were even more worrying for the leaders of the Allied countries. Fortunately, no matter how powerful the tank is, it cannot be used against the United States and Britain, and the unusually vast territory of the Soviet Union still has enough depth to this day; The German Me262 jet fighter, although dwarfed by any Allied fighter, was still capable of dealing with anti-aircraft guns (although the hit rate would drop by several percent), so it was not completely helpless, and the jet aircraft required a longer runway, which could not be used on aircraft carriers until the Germans invented the more haode catapult. However, in order to counterattack in the future, Roosevelt and Churchill unanimously decided to increase investment in jet aircraft research projects, so as to develop a new fighter that could compete with German aircraft as soon as possible.

In fact, the first jet aircraft of the allies, the "Meteor", has also been secretly put into service at this time, but the difficulty of operation is greater than that of the piston type, so it has not yet formed combat effectiveness, and the German Me262 became famous in World War I, the performance of the "Meteor" is obviously dwarfed, and even not as good as the same performance is not as good as the Me262, but at least much more reliable piston fighter is used. Therefore, after communicating with Churchill, Roosevelt decided that the "Meteor" jet fighter would only be used as an advanced training aircraft for the time being, and that it would not be sent out to engage the Me262, so as not to lose too much and affect morale. The focus of the response is on the development of new models, but with the gap of 5-10 years estimated by scientific researchers, even if the allies concentrate a large number of excellent scientists and engineers and invest almost as much as the Manhattan Project, it will not be able to completely catch up in one or two years

In addition to the new German weapons, Roosevelt and Stalin also saw an even greater danger from the Second Battle of Moscow: after a year, the number of cloudburst bombs used by the German army increased rapidly, and according to the research of cloudbursts in both countries, both were convinced that the Germans had made significant progress in oil extraction and petrochemical industry, which was not good news.

As the two leaders estimated, there was a significant increase in oil production under German control in this year, first, the restoration and reconstruction of the Soviet Union's Maikop oil field occupied after the Battle of Stalingrad has achieved certain results, and the total output is expected to reach 4 million tons in 1944, and if it is still controlled by the German army in the coming year, it should be able to reach more than 7 million tons of production, although it is not as good as the tens of millions of tons of production at its peak, but the value of this entry and exit is far greater than the number of oil production itself; Second, the first phase of the Libyan oil base of the Arab Federation was completed, with an annual output of 10 million tons of crude oil, and the quality is in no way inferior to Indonesia's Minas light crude oil, and may even be the most high-quality Haode crude oil on Shijie, and if World War II is delayed to five years later, the third phase of the project is completed, the annual output can exceed 50 million tons, becoming one of the largest oil bases on Shijie

The German petrochemical industry has also made great progress thanks to the efforts of Farben, especially in the research of aviation kerosene, which surpassed the Allies who started relatively late, and the original advantages of the Allied aircraft in the quality of aviation gasoline have been wiped out (to be continued......
