Malinovsky died, and Stalin made up his mind to live and die with Moscow.

Well, now Moscow has become a veritable dead city because of Stalin's decision. The Russians here have lost any chance of escape.

Sometimes one person's words can determine the life and death of millions of people.

Moscow, drowning in the flames of war, was burning everywhere, and terrible whistling sounded there all the time. The bombs bombed so densely that they blew up the city countless times.

More than half of Moscow is in ruins, and even the Kremlin has been bombed.

Since you will die here sooner or later, let's abandon all unrealistic fantasies and meet death in a tragic way......

A large number of German reinforcements entered Moscow, and a large number of Soviet soldiers or civilians also reinforced to the front.

Here, the meaning of life and death has become less important, and the most important thing is when this war will end.

Only then will it be a relief for all......

Zhukov and Vasilevsky were not wrong in their judgment, and after the annihilation of Malinovsky's corps, the Germans really temporarily slowed down the pace of the offensive.

But this does not mean that the war is over, but that a decisive decisive battle is coming.

Wang Weiyi, who returned to his command post, listened to the opinions of his subordinates and decided to use no more than 10 days to concentrate all superior forces and launch a decisive battle against the Soviet army that would be enough to end the battle as soon as possible.

Moscow has been noisy for countless days. Because of this change, I got a quiet that was not too peaceful.

Sporadic fighting continued, and the bombardment of planes in the sky and the artillery fire on the ground never stopped. At the time of the German army's redeployment. They did not want to give the Russians any respite.

The SS commandos at all levels also noticeably became more active, constantly carrying out reconnaissance missions in Moscow, constantly carrying out sabotage raids.

At the same time, the Russian Free Army and the Free Government headed by Marshal Timoshenko also increased the scope of their activities, and they constantly called on the Soviet army to lay down their arms and the Soviet people to join in the ranks of resistance to tyranny.

Sometimes. Propaganda can be more powerful than a bomb......

Temoshengo and those around him are using their influence to pave the way for the upcoming Armageddon as much as possible. And their role is obvious.

During this time. Soviet soldiers and civilians often surrendered, and the brutal war had destroyed their confidence, and the call from the other side was tempting them.

When they laid down their weapons and came to the positions of the "enemy". Then for them it is survival......

The word survival seems simple. But there are some times when it's the hardest to do.

With the Germans, they were fed, safely sheltered, and had a rare calm, which was unimaginable before.

Most of them have come to this point in a helpless situation, and they are not willing to take up arms to fight back. Attack your former comrades, but definitely not all.

There are always some people. Be willing to join the enemy's army and go to fight for yesterday's enemy. And the damage they bring is often very staggering.

The Free Russian Army welcomes such people......

Some of them were high-ranking officers and got Ernst. Field Marshal Brem received them personally, and Marshal Ernst promised them a place in the future Russian government and army, just as Timoshenko had been promised.

The team is getting bigger and bigger.

August is here and the weather is getting hot. However, such weather was very favorable for the German army.

At the very least, they don't have to have to fight this terrible and winless battle with the cruel winter like last time......

"Our ranks are being assembled, and in these directions, a large number of armored and infantry divisions are entering." Pointing to the map, General Moder said: "By August 8, we are well positioned to assemble all our superior forces and artillery fire for a deadly assault on the Russians." ”

"On the outer front, the Soviets organized several large-scale offensives in an attempt to reinforce Moscow, but they were all repulsed by us. At the same time, General Guderian's troops were launching a powerful counterattack against the Soviet troops on those outer lines. Manstein then said: "In mid-August, we can be sure that we will be able to completely defeat the reinforcements from the outside, so that the central assault group can concentrate all its energies on the attack on Moscow......

One after another information was reported, Wang Weiyi seemed very satisfied: "Very good, my generals, the decisive battle that will determine fate is coming." How to fight, how to win, you all have more experience, what I have to do is to stand on my command tank and watch you win. Now, do what you have to do! ”

The confident German generals stood up and watched them leave, and Richthofen, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I went to Berlin a few days ago and met Adolf, Adolf heard that victory was imminent, and the German dream was about to be completed, and he originally wanted to come to Moscow to witness the victory with his own eyes, but he ......"

He didn't say it, but Wang Weiyi already knew what Hitler meant: "Adolf was probably afraid of his appearance, so I mistakenly thought that he was coming to fight for credit with me, right?" ”

Richthofen nodded.

Wang Weiyi smiled: "Actually, I didn't care about this matter at all...... I have been to China, I have fought there, and I have heard an old Chinese saying that the greater the merit of a general, the more likely he is to be hated by the monarch, and then danger will come. I'm glad that didn't happen to me...... I fought for Germany. But that doesn't mean Germany is mine, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do...... But everything is done, and I'm going to get out of here. Maybe never come back......"

Although something like this would happen sooner or later, hearing Ernst say it himself, his friends couldn't help but feel gloomy in their hearts.

"I really want to travel with you around the world." Richthofen said earnestly: "Ernst, even if everyone fears you, in my heart you will always be the one who has been locked up with me. ”

"Me too." Wang Weiyi smiled and said, "Manfred, if there is really a chance." You can travel with me around the world and explore the realm where none of us know what will happen to the Dao, will you leave everything behind and leave with me? ”

"I do!" Richthofen did not hesitate even for a second: "All the honors." Nothing has made more sense to me than to be with you. You've been away from us for nearly 20 years, and you say you're looking for peace of mind, but I know there must have been many, many things going on in the path that we don't know about. When this day comes, I will not hesitate to leave everything here. Go and experience with you the secrets you have explored......"

"I would too." Manstein and Moder said at the same time.

"You guys? I'm afraid not. Wang Weiyi said very seriously: "When the war is over." A new Germany, a new world order, will be established, and Germany will need you even more. ”

"For what?" Manstein was a little confused: "Why can Manfred come with you?" ”

Wang Weiyi smiled again: "Manfred is a very good master of air combat, the famous Red Baron, he can fly planes in the sky to achieve countless victories, and he can also command the air force to bring us glory, but he is not an excellent ...... in nature No, he's not even a qualified leader. Giving him the task of leading the country forward will only cause trouble......"

When Wang Weiyi said this, Richthofen was not angry. Instead, he smiled happily.

Yes, no one knows himself better than Ernst, and he has no interest in anything but fighting, and he doesn't even say anything.

If you let yourself deal with those politicians all day long and look at those official documents all day after the war is over, you will definitely go crazy. Certain!

"But you are different, you have the ability to lead the army, to lead the country forward." Wang Weiyi's face was solemn: "I am sure that this World War will end with our victory, but there are still many enemies in front of us. Adolf was an excellent Führer, who was able to lead Germany out of the shadow of defeat in the shortest possible time and quickly re-emerge as a great power, but sometimes he was too emotional to govern a country. Who will be able to calm him down in the blood? It's just you. You, Manstein; You, Moder; And Rommel and Guderian...... Therefore, you must stay with Adolf......"

Manstein understood exactly what he meant, and the brilliant German marshal involuntarily sighed: "Well, you are happy to go away, but you have thrown a country to us." Ernst, I despise you in this respect. ”

Wang Weiyi laughed out loud: "Yes, there are many differences between what I pursue and what you pursue. But at least the future is in our own hands, our future! ”

Our future is already in our own hands!

Wang Weiyi knew that his friends would not let him down, and no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would definitely have a way to get through it.

It's a belief that outsiders can't understand......

．．．．．．

Our future is already in our own hands – Ernst. Braeme, August 1943.

But what about the future of the USSR? Zhukov found that the future of the Soviet Union was completely out of control.

The Germans are massively mobilizing their forces, and their intentions are too obvious, but there is nothing they can do to prevent this from happening.

German planes and artillery are sabotaging any Russian efforts!

The only thing he can do now is to be with as many of his soldiers as possible, and to mobilize the determination of his troops to fight to the death for Moscow to the greatest extent.

After all. At present, a large number of surrenderers have been seriously shaken to the point of mind of the troops......

The 20th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Yershakov, took part in the First Battle of Moscow. It was the elite of the elite of the Soviet army, and this army group also had great hopes for Zhukov.

He hoped that a miracle would come to this army......

When he appeared in the 20 Army, the morale of the entire unit was still quite optimistic. The positions were dug very hierarchically, and the troops were relatively well armed. A large number of machine guns and Bobosha submachine guns were equipped with troops, and an armored corps and an artillery division became their reliable backing.

Lieutenant General Yershakov carefully briefed Marshal Zhukov on the defense deployment of the troops, and Zhukov was also very serious.

After listening, Zhukov suddenly asked: "Comrade Yershakov." Do you know who is on the other side of you? ”

Yershakov was stunned for a moment, and then said: "German fascists! ”

"No!" Zhukov shook his head: "The enemy opposite you, his name is Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bream. This is what we usually call the Skeleton Baron. He has never lost a battle in his history, and now tell me honestly, are you afraid of the Skeleton Baron? Comrade Yershakov. ”

"No, I'm not afraid!" Yershakov's answer was so quick and loud. It seems that he wants all around him to hear his determination: "I will not be afraid of my enemies." It doesn't matter who he is! Any attack will be dealt with by our most merciless blow! ”

"Your courage is commendable...... Zhukov smiled slightly, but then said with a straight face: "But you are wrong, you should be afraid, and you should be extremely afraid......"

Looking at the stunned looks of Yersakov and those Soviet generals, Zhukov said slowly: "Many of our excellent generals have fought against him, and they, like you, have never known how to fear, but they have all failed. Without exception, they were defeated at the hands of the Skull Baron, do you know what Lu Dao is for? Because they are desperate to prove their mettle. You want to prove that you can defeat the Skull Baron, and you can defeat all the enemies. They charged desperately, desperate to break down the enemy's defenses with crowd tactics. That's what we did on the Terek River. But what they didn't expect was that Baron Skeleton had never been afraid of such a charge, never afraid of encirclement, never even afraid of being in a desperate situation...... At the time of the Battle of Montfocon, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Allied troops alone, and he miraculously escaped, which is the best illustration, so any useless courage in front of him will not be able to do anything at all......"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly: "The reason why I say this is to tell you not to waste senseless courage, meaningless courage means wasted meaningless life. Skeleton Baron is a master of defensive warfare, as well as a master of offensive warfare...... However, I tell you to be extremely afraid of him, not because you are wavering in your determination to fight, but because you should attach great importance to this man, regard him as the most terrible enemy, stick to your position to the death, never take the initiative to attack, and never allow the enemy to leave your position even if he deliberately shows weakness......"

Yershakov was also a battle-hardened general, and when he heard this, he immediately understood: "Comrade Marshal Zhukov, you mean that the longer our positions are defended, the more anxious the enemy will be? ”

"Yes, that's what it means." Zhukov nodded with satisfaction: "The Germans can't wait to end the battle of Moscow as soon as possible, but we just won't let their goal succeed, the longer the battle drags on, the better it will be for us, maybe with the spread of time, all miracles will appear!" ”

Now, the generals of the Soviet army completely understood.

I have long heard that Marshal Zhukov fought with the Skull Baron during the First World War, and if this is the case, then no one in the Soviet army knows the Skull Baron better than him.

"Also, you must prevent him from making a noise." Zhukov emphatically said: "In the past, when I was still serving in the tsarist army, I suffered such a big loss from him. He commanded a small commando team, and he broke through the blockade of tens of thousands of our people, and he has long been famous. He can do that when he breaks through, and he can do the same when he attacks......"

"So, how do we prevent it?" Yershakov asked from the side.

"If something strange happens on the battlefield, don't bother with it." Zhukov's tone was solemn: "For example, if the German army suddenly changed its attack target and frequently mobilized its troops, then it is very likely that they want to deliberately lure us into being deceived." You must know that although our enemies have the upper hand, it is now an urban war after all, and their powerful weapons will be greatly constrained here, and they will be forced to take only one position at a time, which will largely tie their hands and feet. And what about us? You can patiently dodge and find the most advantageous fighter for us when you hit the enemy in the position! ”

"We understand, Comrade Marshal!" Yershakov looked a little excited: "In short, we are confident that we will turn this place into a grave for the enemy, bury all the enemies here, and finally achieve the ultimate victory for the Great Patriotic War!" ”

Zhukov said slowly: "Our future is now in our own hands!" (To be continued......)
