Chapter 1527: Street Fighting

When the fighters and bombers of the Chinese Air Force swaggered away, only the German-Russian artillery positions were left in disarray. During the heavy bombardment of the Chinese Air Force, the artillery of the German-Russian coalition suffered heavy losses, and as many as 1,000 artillery pieces were destroyed. The artillery killed by the bombing is even more countless. Not all the fighters of the Chinese Air Force left, and more than a dozen combat units remained, hovering over Moscow. They were using radio to provide guidance to the Imperial Army's heavy artillery units on shelling targets.

After all, there are thousands of German-Russian artillery, and it is obviously impossible to destroy all the German-Russian artillery with just one round of bombardment. Of course, there are still hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the Imperial Army, and under the guidance of the Air Force, they can accurately strike at the artillery positions of the Russian army. Under such tactics, the Russian artillery did not dare to continue to show their heads at all.

"Damn, the Chinese air force is too strong, and during the day our artillery will not dare to launch an artillery bombardment at all, otherwise, only the air force and artillery of the Chinese will be destroyed." Admiral Steinmetz said angrily. The artillery could not exert sufficient combat power, which undoubtedly greatly limited the combat effectiveness of the German-Russian coalition forces, and it would be a huge challenge for them to win the victory in the defense of Moscow.

"Your Excellency, General, since the artillery cannot fire during the day, it will have to wait until night. It's just a pity that the hit rate of the shelling at night was not high. "Fyodor. Admiral Berg said with some regret. The German-Russian coalition combined had thousands of artillery pieces, which was an extremely formidable force. If the combat effectiveness can be fully brought into play, it will definitely make the Chinese pay a heavy price.

"Order the troops at the front. Do everything you can to stop the Chinese from advancing. Only to drag it out desperately, the longer it drags on. The more beneficial it is for us. Admiral Steinmetz sighed. They had to drag it out until winter came before they could use the help of the cold winter to defeat the Chinese* army. Otherwise. They want to win, that's impossible.

Fyodor. Admiral Berg nodded, he also knew that it was the last moment, and he had to fight hard.

On the outskirts of Moscow, the Chinese Army's offensive against the positions of the German-Russian coalition forces had already begun, and the heavy shelling of the German-Russian coalition forces did not actually pose much of a threat to the Chinese Army, except that some soldiers were killed or wounded in the shelling. The timely entry of the Chinese Air Force into battle did not last long as the artillery of the German-Russian coalition did not last. Otherwise, the Chinese Army will definitely pay an even greater price.

"Crunch. Crunch! "Tanks rushed to the front, and behind the tanks were the infantry who fought with the tanks. Under the cover of tanks, they quickly marched towards the positions of the German-Russian forces, and along the way, they encountered little resistance.

"Da Da Da!" On the position of the cheeks, a machine-gun fire point was firing frantically, and a dense burst of bullets swept over, and two Chinese Army soldiers who did not hide their bodies were knocked to the ground. The rest of the soldiers immediately fell to the ground. The turret of the tank in front began to turn, and soon the target was locked. The tank came to a halt and the gun was aimed at the target.

"Boom!" A muffled sound came. I saw a red flame flash from the muzzle of the tank gun. The body of the tank also shook due to the huge recoil. But that machine-gun fire point had already been hit by a shell and was pierced into the sky.

After destroying this point of machine-gun fire. The tank continued to move forward, and continued to attack suspicious targets with machine guns and tank guns.

Under the blows of the tanks of the Imperial Army. Those who had survived the heavy shelling were uprooted one by one. Officers and soldiers of the German-Russian forces on the position. Heavy casualties were paid. Their positions simply could not stop the advance of the Chinese Army.

One by one, tanks stormed the positions of the German-Russian forces and began to use machine guns and artillery to clear the remaining German-Russian officers and soldiers on the positions. Although the officers and soldiers of the German-Russian alliance were very brave, the weapons in their hands could not do any damage to these monsters in steel armor. Even if you use a heavy machine gun to strafe, the bullets of the heavy machine gun will only leave a small mark on the steel plate at most. As for the brave men who charged at the tanks of the Imperial Army with explosives bags and grenades, they were torn to shreds by the machine guns on the tanks before they could reach the tanks. The infantrymen who fought with the tanks also faithfully fulfilled their heavy responsibility to protect the tanks. The soldiers of the German-Russian army, who tried to launch a suicidal attack on the tank, were knocked to the ground by them. The soldiers of the Imperial Army also knew that the tanks were like their shields, and if the tanks were destroyed, then they would have to rely on their own flesh to fight the German-Russian coalition forces. To protect the tanks is to protect themselves.

Under the cover of tanks, the soldiers of the Imperial Army soon stormed the positions of the German-Russian forces and began to clear the remnants of the German-Russian forces on the positions. The German-Russian coalition forces were simply unable to resist in the face of this coordinated tactics of the Imperial Army. If they are unable to destroy the tanks of the Imperial Army, they will not be able to withstand the attack of the Imperial Army.

By 4 p.m., my outlying positions in Moscow were all under the control of the Imperial Army. Having captured the outer positions of Moscow, the Imperial Army did not attack the city in a rash manner. After all, the German-Russian forces in the city must have been prepared for a long time. If you attack the city at this time, even if you can occupy an area, it is very likely that you will be counterattacked by the German-Russian forces at night. At night, neither the artillery nor the air force of the Imperial Army could exert their formidable combat power. The weakness of the Imperial Army in terms of strength will be revealed. There will be a huge price to pay.

Having captured the outlying positions of Moscow, the Imperial Army began to go on the defensive, preparing for a German-Russian counterattack at night. Sure enough, after nightfall, the German-Russian forces launched a fierce counterattack, trying to recapture their positions. However, they were hit by heavy fire from the Imperial Army. After capturing the outer positions of Moscow, the Imperial Army began to deploy defenses. And in the evening of the same day, these defenses came in handy, dealing a great blow to the German-Russian forces.

The fierce fighting in the evening lasted for several hours. Infantry and artillery on both sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Although during the day, the artillery of the German-Russian coalition suffered heavy losses. But in the evening, all the remaining artillery of the German-Russian army was pulled out. They also knew that the night was the only chance they had to use artillery in large quantities. If it were daytime, it would have been bombed by the Imperial Air Force and suppressed by the heavy artillery units of the Imperial Army.

It's just that when shelling at night, the accuracy will be greatly affected, and it will be difficult to hit the target. As a result, the German-Russian soldiers had to rely on their flesh to attack the fortified positions of the Reichs. This cost the German-Russian coalition dearly.

After a night of fierce fighting, the German-Russian soldiers piled up a thick layer in front of the positions of the Imperial Army. In the fierce fighting at night, the German-Russian army lost more than 100,000 troops. Of course, they also inflicted a lot of losses on the Imperial Army. But in general, the Imperial Army, which is in a defensive posture, will have a great advantage and will lose much fewer troops. After all, it's much safer to rain bullets and shells from the enemy in a well-fortified fortification, and to charge in the face of a hail of bullets. Although, the night was pitch black, which made the hit rate very low. But the flares that lifted off one after another solved this problem very well. Under the brilliant white light of the flares, the figures of the soldiers of the German-Russian alliance were exposed, and they were naturally greeted by a dense number of bullets.

The night attack of the German-Russian coalition army ended in failure. On the morning of 27 September, the Imperial Army officially launched an attack on Moscow. Although the resistance of the German-Russian forces was still fierce, under the cover of the armored forces of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army still easily attacked the city. However, street fighting has always been the most tragic, and even with the cover of tanks, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army attacking the city still have to guard against the officers and soldiers of the German-Russian coalition forces who launched a surprise attack from all directions. They may be hidden inside buildings next to the street, or they may be hidden on street corners. Even in the sewers, the figures of the soldiers of the German-Russian army were hidden. As a result, the casualties of the Imperial Army began to rise after the invasion of Moscow.

However, even so, the casualties of the German-Russian army were still much greater than those of the Imperial Army. After so many years of fighting, the Imperial Army has long summed up a set of effective street fighting tactics. Each infantry squad has a clear division of labor, with the machine gunner responsible for covering and the sniper responsible for eliminating and suppressing the enemy's threatening targets. The grenadiers launched a fierce attack on the enemy. The rest of the infantry, under the cover of strong firepower, launched an attack on the German-Russian forces. Although, the mortars of the Imperial Army were already equipped to the platoon level. However, in order to compensate for this firepower gap at a distance of three hundred meters, the Reichsman Army developed a grenadier of fifty mm caliber. This weapon, which was lightweight, easy to carry, and quite weak in combat effectiveness, was immediately loved by the officers and men of the Imperial Army. After each infantry squad was equipped with a grenadier, the infantry firepower of the Imperial Army was even stronger. This is also the confidence of the Imperial Army to dare to surround Moscow with a million troops and launch an attack. (To be continued......)
