Chapter 1104 1105 The last road
Suddenly, a unique huge whistling sound gradually approached from a distance, then passed the heads of the German infantry on the front line, and finally hit a certain street in Moscow. +, then there was a shaking explosion, splashing rubble and rising black smoke, much greater than the smoke splashed by other shells.
With the arrival of this huge sound, the Soviet army's scattered artillery fire completely stopped. For the rest of the time, it seemed that German artillery was performing like a one-man show.
The caliber of German train guns is very complicated, including 340mm caliber train guns seized from France, and 320mm caliber train guns produced by the French. Of course, the most are the new train guns produced by Germany themselves. Among so many artillery, the best performance is of course the new artillery produced by the Germans themselves. Each cannon is enough to shock the world and shake the earth.
When these train cannons began to roar, the towed artillery and some old cannons in the Soviet army were not enough to see. So as a train cannon shell landed in Moscow city, the Soviet artillery also closed its mouth helplessly.
In the world of artillery, power is the truth. Everything must be determined by the range, rate of fire and the power of shells. My caliber is larger than your caliber, and my number of artillery artillery is greater than your number, so I have a say more than you! Unfortunately, when the Soviet troops had more artillery artillery than the Germans, they had to abandon these artillery because of the attack of the Stuka dive bomber.
A small-scale artillery bombardment on a position eventually turned into a comprehensive artillery battle between the F Army and the Moscow defenders. However, the bombardment ended with the German victory. The Soviet artillery was suppressed without any sound, allowing the German artillery to destroy the Soviet army's peripheral positions.
The sound of cannons in the distance was still rumbling. In the command of the F Army, Marshal Kluge and several of his combat staff were analyzing a map of Moscow. Now they may be only one kilometer away from the core position of the Soviet defense. The German E-E Army in northern Moscow has begun to advance towards the northeast of Moscow, making it look like they are going to completely encircle Moscow.
"General Liszt's troops are crossing the river and will soon be able to threaten Yaroslavl from behind. As long as the E-Group Army cooperates with the armored forces of the A-Group Army to capture Vologda, then there will be no need for Moscow to struggle." Kluge held his hands behind his back and listened to his staff to analyze the current battle situation. His troops were the main force in attacking Moscow. As an assisting force, the A-Group Army will use the infantry belonging to the group army to support his offensive in the north.
"General Guderian's vanguard troops are changing the direction of the attack. They want to strive to capture Ryazan within 30 days. After the capture, his troops will be ordered to continue attacking eastward and threaten Gorky." Another staff member pointed at the movements of the German troops in the southern region with his fingers and introduced to Kluge who did not speak.
The German army can now say that the situation is very good, and the situation is very good. Most of the German troops have been rested and recuperated, and the G Army and E Army, which have suffered heavy losses, have been supplemented, and the location they set out is not far from the front line, so the distance and logistics supply consumption are also compressed within a completely bearable range.
Compared with another time and space, the German army was more prepared this time, with stronger troops, better logistics supplies, and more powerful weapons and equipment... In short, the cards in Akado's hand are very good now, at least some capital has made him squander.
In contrast, because the Soviet army was compressed into a narrow space, most of the two wing defense lines did not have enough power to defend, the German army set out from Saint Rudolf rushed all the way, and the front-line troops of the n-group army were even approaching the Ural River.
If the infrastructure construction of this distance was not too poor, and a large amount of hoarded military supplies could not be transported to the front line, General Qusheral would have been able to attack further. However, due to the increase in air and naval activities in the attack on Moscow, Qusheral's oil was delayed, so his offense temporarily stopped.
Another German unit, Guderian's G Army, has not stopped attacking since the Second Battle of Kursk. After handing over his rear to Model's D Army, Guderian's troops were as if they were in a no-man's territory and attacked the northeast. The only thing that could stop the German army was their own fatigue and waiting for supplies.
After crossing Kursk, the Soviet Union's infrastructure was instantly reduced to a higher level. The quality of railway construction was worse and it was not universal to European railway standards. Most highways were paved with gray soil, which was a world of difference from the German standard regular highways.
These problems hindered the Germans' advance and were much more effective than the defeated Soviet defensive forces. These temporarily pieced together Soviet troops had no way to stop the G Army. They could only watch German tanks pass by them, and then surrounded them in barren mountains, tortured and then captured by the German infantry who were chasing them.
The streets and alleys were filled with Soviet troops captured by the German army. These poor soldiers who were unable to eat were holding their heads in their hands and walked slowly listlessly on the road. From time to time, they were driven to both sides of the road to make way for the whistling German trucks, armored personnel carriers and tanks.
Compared with the battle of incoming land on the front battlefield of Moscow, the counterattack in these areas is like a joke. The German troops easily occupied a large amount of land, and the huge clamp-shaped offensive surrounding Moscow began to slowly close behind the Moscow side and rear.
"The frontal attack cannot be stopped. If necessary, replace three infantry divisions to replace the tired troops!" After Kluge heard that friendly troops in other directions were about to encircle Moscow, he finally issued an order to continue the attack: "Let the front-line troops maintain the attack rhythm."
Then he pointed to a thick stack of information on his desk and spoke to his subordinates, "This is the tactical information used by the N Group Army when attacking St. Rudolf. It includes the loss of troops and the record of the results of the war... You can study it thoroughly for me, but I was shameless from Qusiral."
"Yes! Marshal!" Everyone nodded quickly, and several anxious people had already picked up a stack and read it carefully. A fine tradition of human civilization is to be good at summarizing. Since ignorance of the future is destined, people will crazily summarize experiences and lessons, trying to reduce the cost of exploration to unknown futures.
Sometimes summarizing experience allows people to go further, and sometimes sticking to the rules makes people stand up for themselves. The summary of the Song and Ming dynasties of the Tang dynasty ultimately made these two dynasties suppressed the force of the military and unable to resist foreign humiliation; and Japan's experience and lessons of naval warfare still affect their joint fleet... But people are still summarizing the past in order to better face the future.
At this moment, the German army was also summarizing, they summed up every detail in the street battle of St. Rudolf, that is, Stalingrad, so that they could reduce their various losses during the Battle of Moscow.
Don't underestimate these reports and documents. If possible, the United States may be willing to buy these things for hundreds of millions of dollars. Every sentence here may save hundreds of lives at a certain moment. Every lesson here may be obtained at the cost of the deaths of hundreds of soldiers.
The current German army can be said to be the most experienced army in the world with the richest urban street fighting experience. They have captured countless enemy cities and have seen various urban street fighting situations. Although this kind of battle still makes them feel uncomfortable, it has to be admitted that they are indeed the most capable soldiers in the world who are good at street fighting.
...
In the command of Vatutin, the Soviet Moscow City Defense Commander had just put down his phone number. The Kremlin had just been hit by German long-range artillery. This round of artillery fire dug several craters on the Red Square, and a section of the Kremlin's exterior wall collapsed due to violent explosions.
"Comrade Stalin asked whether the enemy's attack had been stopped." Vatujing put down the phone and smiled bitterly at his assistant: "They did not attack at all... they were just bombarding symbolically."
After saying that, his eyes moved to the map, looked at the vast territory behind Moscow, and said wailingly: "Does it still need to be in? As long as we wait for the first half of a month, we will be completely surrounded... At that time, we don't have to go into the city to fight with us, and we can starve to death here even if we are hungry."
"General! It's not a solution for us to just wait for death here! The 720th Division and the 655th Division..." The staff officer beside him muttered in a low voice. Halfway through speaking, he saw that Vatujing's face was not very good, so he shut his mouth.
The 720th Division and the 655th Division are both garrison troops in the rear of Moscow. Originally, they should have defended against the rear of Moscow. Even if they were surrounded by the German army, they should have stood on their positions. But these two divisions actually retreated as the German encirclement approached, and retreated first to the outside of the encirclement of Moscow. According to military law, this is Hong Guoguo's escape.
