Replacement, as the commander of General Ruoff, General Hott, commander of the Third Armored Group Army, also knew very well that his subordinates had reached their limit, and the Fifth Army could no longer do better. The Third Armored Group is simply not just a force that relies on the Fifth Army to conquer the world, so as soon as General Ruoff issued the threat, General Hott issued an order to the Seventh Army to take over the Fifth Army. attack.
Now it is not only the Third Armored Group that has encountered problems, but the German armies in other directions have also encountered the same problem. The Soviet Red Army has never lacked courage, especially when the capital is behind it, directly to the west, Kluk Marshal Georgi's Fourth Army was already at war with the Soviet 50th Army. Due to Marshal Bock's mediation, Marshals Guderian and Kluge, who were originally somewhat conflicted, let go of themselves in the face of the overall situation. Because of the contradiction, they chose to join forces to deal with the Soviet 50th Army. Marshal Guderian's Second Armored Army also cooperated with the Fourth Army at the same time to launch a pincer attack on the Soviet 50th Army. The German army's strength was 1.5 times that of the Soviet Union, and its heavy weapons and tanks were several times that of the Red Army. As mentioned above, this was supposed to be a one-sided battle, but it was beyond the expectations of Marshal Guderian and Marshal Kluge. The battle was not going well at the beginning, and it could even be said to be very difficult. Stalin did remove a lot of the Soviet Red Army facing Army Group Center, but he did not deploy the very important artillery. This was because it was not suitable for street fighting. Artillery, so the heavy weapons of the four armies that were withdrawn were all replenished to the troops that replaced them. You can imagine what happened this time. The number of Germans facing the Soviet Red Army was indeed reduced, but the quality was not. A huge increase. In the long run, if there were more SS troops in Moscow, Stalin would never do this, because this kind of behavior of demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall is also a helpless move, because if one is not good, it may even cause two fronts. The troops collapsed at the same time. The reason why this did not happen was because the Waffen SS on the other side had more than enough defense but not enough offense.
For the Soviet Red Army troops resisting Army Group Center, plundering the heavy weapons of the mobilized troops can greatly alleviate their current embarrassing situation, but for the Red Army troops attacking Moscow, this is not a good thing. The Red Army attacking Moscow could only rely on the so-called spirit of not being afraid of death but not afraid of suffering. Spirit is generally the last backing that resisters rely on, but how effective it can be depends on the situation. How effective fighting spirit can be has long been completely opposite conclusions due to different camps. , at least if Lin Wei was given a choice, Lin Wei would rather choose a troop with super equipment but an average fighting spirit than the latter. During the Second Opium War, the spirit of the cavalry charging at Bali Bridge was also extremely strong. As a result, Still a disastrous failure.
But in the current situation, there is another matter. The weapons gap between the Soviet Red Army and the German Wehrmacht is not irreparable. The current situation of the Red Army is only due to the lack of weapons, not to the situation with Germany. There is a generational difference in weapons, but fighting spirit can still make up for the lack of weapons.
At this time, Lin Wei was thinking about how to quickly capture the Kremlin. He never dreamed that Army Group Center would still be unable to do anything about the shrunken Red Army defensive positions. In fact, Lin Wei had been holding on to the Moscow Battle. Full of optimism, I always believed that the SS could spend Halloween in Moscow. I imagined many worst-case scenarios, but did not imagine that the German army, known as the world's number one, would be unable to break through the Soviet Red Army's positions at this time and here. You know, Lin Wei has tried his best to attract the forces of the four armies to besiege him. In his opinion, there is no reason for the Central Army Group to make no progress anyway.
"What, the Red Army's defense is strong? Oh my god, are the four armies I brought here really stupid? They are the same as when they were not drawn out?" After hearing the news revealed by his adjutant, Lin Wei squeezed his hands In my head, I seemed to think that I had heard wrongly, or that I had just hallucinated. The strength of the Central Army Group in Moscow was one and a half times greater than that of the Soviet Red Army. After a long battle, after subtracting the strength of the four group armies, the strength of the entire Moscow front-line Central Army Group was already twice that of the Red Army. Germany The state machinery of the Soviet Union is fully activated to support the 4.5 million German troops fighting here. However, more than half of the Soviet industrial areas have been occupied, and the population advantage has been weakened to the same level as Germany. This is really unconvincing. ; "Does Marshal Bock want to tell me that he can only draw a tie with the Red Army with half the number of himself under the comprehensive advantage? Germany gambled its future in a decisive battle just to have an indifferent outcome with the Soviet Union. ? This is not a reason, it is an excuse, a completely stupid excuse... I risked my life to be surrounded, could it be to experience the experience of an adventurer?" Lin Wei roared loudly.
Boom, boom..., a burst of cannon sounded at an untimely time, causing a burst of dust to fall from the roof, "Who is shooting? Cannon? I want to shoot him!" Everyone watched Lin Wei smearing in silence, and did not dare to step forward to stop him. , since entering Moscow, they seem to have become accustomed to the gentle leader in Germany, and have transformed into the current werewolves. Although they still wear decent military uniforms, they do things completely different from when they were in Germany.
"Leader!" Crawford said, "The Soviet forces facing Army Group Center include twelve armies, totaling eighty-eight infantry divisions, fifteen cavalry divisions, and twenty-four tank brigades. Army Group Center They are being pressed step by step. Although the Soviet Union has a small number of people, the Moscow front line is not wide in the first place. We cannot blame Marshal Bock!"
"You are right, Crawford! Now may be the time for me to make a decision, otherwise not only me, but you may all die! Admiral Paul Hausser just called, the battle in the southern suburbs As more and more Red Army soldiers become disadvantageous to us, I can order all the military police divisions to fight there to buy a few days, but this is meaningless!" Lin Wei sat on the chair as if frustrated. , said softly, "The first option is to give up the attack now and use the existing forces to break out. First, we will contact the Third Armored Group Army to ensure our own safety, and then slowly fight with the Soviets, but we gave up the victory." To have a chance to win the Battle of Moscow, we must compete with the Soviet Union to compete with whose industry is stronger and whose combat effectiveness is higher. That is already the category of total war and symbolizes the complete failure of the Blitzkrieg!"
Looking at the silent crowd, Lin Wei smiled hard and said, "Total war? When will the war end? Two years or three years? According to the current will of the Soviets to resist, how long will it take for Germany to surrender?" Did the Soviets realize that they could not win if they continued to fight? How many deaths would Germany be prepared to pay to win the war? Is it two million or three million, or more? A tragic victory? If all young Germans were sent to the battlefield, what would happen? If the war can only be won by letting them all die on the battlefield, then I wouldn’t have made such long preparations in the first place!”
"Leader, things are not that bad. Maybe Marshal Bock just encountered difficulties temporarily?" Crawford said.
"It's not that bad? It's already bad. It can't happen again!" Lin Wei shook his head and asked, "Do you know why I didn't enter Moscow with the troops of the National Defense Force?"
"Because they lack willpower!" Lin Wei gave the answer himself without waiting for anyone to answer, "The Wehrmacht's combat literacy is first-class and has no rivals in the world, but they lack a kind of willpower, and the SS can be fanatical To join the war, they can do whatever it takes to win, no matter whether it is good or bad, whether they will be condemned or not, the SS will do it as long as they think it is worth it, but the Wehrmacht cannot, even in the current situation of Army Group Center, it can be used Now this kind of thinking answers! I understand the dilemma faced by Army Group Center. The conditions in the Soviet Union are indeed much more difficult than in France, and the attrition of various units is very large, but why don't they think about it, the Soviets are more difficult than them, why can they Persevere? I dare say that the war weariness among the soldiers of the Wehrmacht has reached its peak, but I can also guarantee that the SS still maintains the same fanatical desire to fight as when the war started. This is the gap! "
"I want victory, now! I don't want victory even if it comes one day late!" Lin Wei shouted something like a slogan, took a deep breath, and said as if he had made up his mind; "Give it to Deputy Heydrich." The leader generates electricity and takes out all the Tabun and Sarin gas bombs stored in Smolensk. Remember, they are all. I will contact Marshal Göring from the Air Force and order General Paul Hausser to snipe me in the southern suburbs. Facing the Red Army's attack, I need three days to capture the Kremlin. I want to hang the swastika flag on the top of the Kremlin tower! And the Gendarmerie Division must do everything possible to gain three days! Let's The police division detoured back to the south side of the Kremlin, and the pressure continued to be maintained on the front of Red Square. The number of Kremlin garrison troops was already running low. From now on, no matter day or night, I ask the SS to guard the Kremlin all the time. Keep attacking!"
"You guys go out first! I want to be quiet!" Lin Wei waved his hands as if full of exhaustion and said, spreading out on the chair.
