Chapter 459: Attack on Moscow (40)

Views:

These last defenders were right, but the hundreds of attacking SS soldiers were not fools either. Although there is a famous saying that the best destination for a soldier is to die at the last moment of the last battle, but This sentence was said by a general. Ordinary soldiers obviously do not have high consciousness. They still hope to enjoy the good life after the war. Of course, they cannot die at this time. Because of this, the SS was more cautious than ever in this attack, and would hide immediately if something went wrong. You can't say they are afraid of death, it's just human nature. If there is another way, why not? The situation of the SS is much better now than it was two days ago, and there is no need for these soldiers to trade their lives for time.

The heroic resistance of the Red Army cannot change the final result. No matter what, this world-famous palace and the heart of the Red Empire will definitely change hands today. Now, Lin Wei is ready to wait for this moment to arrive. Lin Wei has never been as relaxed as he is today. Seizing the Kremlin has no military significance for Germany as a whole, but for Lin Wei personally, the significance is very extraordinary. Since he was born in Germany, Lin Wei has felt very depressed. This is both a fear of the future and an attempt to control his own destiny. He personally kills the enemies on both sides of Germany so that they can no longer threaten his safety. From that time on, Lin Wei tried to become a genius in the eyes of others. Like a robot, he maintained his own habits, suppressed his own nature, and harbored incomparable hatred. But on the surface, he still had to work hard to learn the knowledge given to him by Gustav, because Lin Wei knew that this would make Gustav feel Happy.

The enemy is extremely powerful, and Lin Wei is also perfecting himself. Lin Wei would do whatever others said. On the surface, no one would feel that the young leader of the SS was a threat, because Lin Wei usually did not express his opinions at all. But only Lin Wei himself knows that Lin Wei will make concessions if it does not involve his own interests or does not seem important to him. But if Lin Wei thinks that this matter can change his destiny, then nothing can stop him from implementing it. Assassinating Hit? This is the case, and the same is true for giving up further steps to welcome William II back to China. When Germany was not sure of victory in the war, people simply couldn't see Lin Wei's role. But if on the eve of victory, Lin Wei sees the hope of victory, he will not hesitate to come out from behind the scenes and personally kill the decisive factor that has been suppressing Lin Wei, the Soviet Union.

"I have been waiting for this moment for thirty-five years. The Soviet Union has not yet been established, and I have begun to prepare to bury it!" Putting down the telescope, Lin Wei still had an evil smile on his face. People just saw Lin Wei's lips move, but they didn't know that their leader said such shocking words.

The sound of artillery in the west was not far from the Kremlin. It could be seen that the Soviet Red Army who came to attack must have received strict orders from Stalin and must rescue the Kremlin troops. But unfortunately, although they We are not far apart, but we will never see each other again.

After conquering the Kremlin, what's next? This is the problem before Lin Wei. He has attracted the forces of four armies to besiege him, which has relieved a lot of pressure on the attack of the Central Army Group. Lin Wei's goal seems to have been achieved. But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Wei vetoed the decision to break out now. Although nearly half of the tanks were lost, there were still a thousand tanks left, and there was no problem for the SS to break through. However, Lin Wei's goals were not fully achieved. Lin Wei wanted to kill the three fronts in Moscow, achieve a great victory, and lay the foundation for Germany's victory. Rather than achieving a tactical victory. Army Group Center has not yet reached Lin Wei's goal, and he cannot leave yet.

"Is there still no progress in Army Group Center?" Lin Wei suddenly asked, "There is progress in all directions!"

"Marshal Kruger's Fourth Army and Marshal Guderian's Second Armored Army are still attacking the Soviet 50th Army and have made great progress. On the northern front, General Huth's Third Armored Army has bitten The consequence of the Soviet 27th Army is that the pressure on the Viking Division and the Hermann Goering Parachute Armored Division has been reduced a lot!" Crawford answered simply, as if the situation on the battlefield could change at any time. In his mind.

"Finally, there has been some progress. We cannot expect the National Defense Forces to fight with their lives like us. This is unrealistic!" Lin Wei paused and said, "I have a feeling that the Soviet Red Army has reached its limit, and the same is true for the National Defense Forces. At this time There can be no thought of fear, I don’t want the war to last three years!”

"Give Marshal Bock power!" Lin Wei walked around the table twice and said as he walked, "I can guarantee that the battle in the Kremlin will end today! Marshal Bock, who attracted four enemies in the SS, When a group army has annihilated one, the National Defense Forces must make due contributions instead of dilly-dallying. I admit that the current conditions are very difficult, and the temperature has dropped to minus ten degrees, but if it continues to drag on, it will soon be We will soon be fighting under conditions of minus 30 degrees! I think you don’t want that either! The Wehrmacht is now at its limit. I believe that your opponent, the Soviet Red Army, is also the same. A turning point will appear soon. Believe me, a battle An unprecedented victory is waiting for you!" After careful wording to ensure there was no disrespect, Lin Wei asked Crawford to send a telegram to Army Group Center. There is no doubt that Lin Wei's position is higher than that of Marshal Bock, but Lin Wei has to consider the impact. After all, Marshal Bock has a good relationship with his father. Once people leave interpersonal relationships, they can't survive anywhere, and the same is true in Germany. Therefore, Lin Wei gave up the idea of ascending to the throne very early. The old guys in the country will not be convinced. Kill them? Hit? Even a madman like Le would not dare, so Lin Wei naturally had no need to try.

In fact, the efforts of the Wehrmacht were not as small as those of the SS, but Lin Wei felt that the Wehrmacht did not make its own contribution, which was not the case at all. The respective enemies of the SS and the Wehrmacht cannot be simply compared, and the Wehrmacht does not have the incredible equipment level of the SS. Southwest of Moscow, on the position of the Soviet 50th Army, despite the desperate charge of the tank troops commanded by Guderian, the German army's advance became increasingly slow and bloody! German tanks formed in four columns attacked the positions of the 93rd Division of the 50th Army of the Red Army, but were repulsed by the anti-tank firepower of the 6th Tank Brigade covering the division. A larger number of German tanks rushed towards the Soviet 22nd Mechanized Army's defense line along the road to Moscow, but they were also resisted tenaciously and made several unsuccessful attacks. Although the 22nd Mechanized Corps had suffered heavy losses early on, they cooperated with the infantry and artillery to resist repeated attacks by the German armored forces.

By noon, the Grossdeutschland Panzergrenadier Division finally reached its intended target, but the losses were considerable. The Grossdeutschland heavy armor battalion, which had high hopes, suffered heavy losses. The battalion's original company of Panther tanks had a total of about thirty-four tanks that could be dispatched. However, after the final position, only about eighteen tanks were available. But only one of them was completely destroyed. Others all had more or less mechanical failures or minor damage.

On the other hand, corresponding to the Second Armored Army, the Armored Division commanded by General Bayerlein of the Fourth Army also launched an offensive that day. In the morning, on the west side of the German breakthrough, the 1st Tank Brigade led by General Katukov first faced the German army. Then on the east side of the breakthrough, the leading dozen Panther tanks of the German Armored Division's Panther Tank Battalion fought against dozens of T-34 tanks of the Red Army's 15th Tank Division. Although the Soviet Union's aim was poor, its speed was very fast, and these guys kept attacking the German armored troops desperately. Sometimes, they were even only a hundred meters away from the Panther tanks. On the high ground, more than a dozen German Panther tanks were lined up. Facing the swarming Soviet tanks, they quickly maneuvered their huge turrets, and then fired 75mm anti-tank shells one after another. The Soviet tanks in the distance were turned into clusters of burning torches.

Inside the city, the 33rd Army of the Soviet Union that had invaded Moscow was still blocked in the Xicheng District by the SS Gendarmerie Division. Several large-scale battles broke out between the two sides, but in general the Soviet Red Army still could not move forward a step, but this was only now. If Stalin ordered them to attack at all costs, the military police division would have to pay a greater price to stop them. The 33rd Army's hesitation in attacking now has to thank the Wehrmacht. If the German Fourth Army hadn't kept poking their butts behind them, the situation of the SS might have been even more difficult now. Although Lin Wei can't see it now, that's the fact. . On the other side, although the battle in the Kremlin was coming to an end, it was still very fierce. The defenders, including the wounded, numbered less than 200, and they fought a bloody battle with SS troops twice their size. Although the scale of the battle was not large, it was enough. Bloody, room after room, house after house, every inch of the place was left with blood stains from the battle between the two sides, but after all, the Soviet soldiers guarding here had reached the moment when their fuel was exhausted, and when the needle pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon , the battle in the entire building has basically ended, and the only remaining office still controlled by the Soviets is still resisting. When the SS shouted to no avail, a soldier kicked open the door, and then dozens of grenades were fired into the building. The resisters exploded into the sky.

"You should be more careful. Oh my God, I don't want this experience to happen again. How did I do it just now?" The soldier who just kicked open the door got up from two meters away with lingering fear. , said with some fear. The look on his face that he would never do it again made people believe that he would never dare to do it again.
