Nothing can prevent the Soviets from placing themselves in appropriate positions to launch a desperate counterattack. It is obvious that they have used their actions to prove that they are no longer prepared to take a step back, even if the result is death. The Soviets had also determined the specific location of the Germans through radio signals. When the German troops just advanced into an open field, hundreds of artillery shells immediately followed their specific location and landed. The huge sound produced by the explosion filled the ears of the soldiers participating in the battle. But at this time, the Soviet Red Army sent larger-caliber heavy artillery to the battlefield. Huge explosions came one after another, and there was almost no meaningful rest for the ears. The shrapnel generated by the explosion was all over the ground, which made the German attacking soldiers cling to the trenches one by one. Sand and dust continued to flow into their collars. The mud, ice and snow falling from the sky almost These invaders must be buried. Sometimes, even the hunched-up knees of German soldiers would tremble. That colleague also meant that the shells that landed were very close to them. Now, there is almost nothing we can do, we can't even protect ourselves. All we can do is wait. The first priority is that we must not be kissed by Soviet shells... Suddenly, the artillery on the opposite side gradually stopped. Immediately afterwards, the German soldiers who had not yet reacted were shocked to find that groups of Soviet charging soldiers appeared within their sight. They took advantage of the night and launched a charge towards their enemies. It was difficult to determine how many there were, but they could What is certain is that the Soviet artillery fire did not stop from the first moment.
The artillery hysteria coupled with the Red Army's desperate charge, a typical Red Army combat mode appeared again. From the moment German soldiers entered the Soviet Union, this combat mode has been with the Germans for a long time, but never once did the German soldiers in an offensive position feel so much pressure. Perhaps they knew that Moscow behind them no longer belonged to the Soviet Union. They also understood that in the face of the joint attack of the German Fourth Army and the Second Armored Army, the fate of their troops was almost doomed. But even so, this still cannot change their determination to continue fighting. When the war comes, everyone will inevitably join it. The strength of the individual is not worth mentioning in this kind of all-out war. Those who are usually timid and Cowards are not necessarily so in war. Even if you make up your mind to be a deserter, it's not easy because it's really difficult to take that step.
The great purges and collective farms of the Soviet Union were once so depressing. Countless people hoped that Germany would defeat the Soviet Union. This situation was common in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. Countless people adhered to the mentality of not caring about the matter and watched the war between their motherland and Germany with an indifferent expression, but more people devoted themselves to the troops of the Soviet Red Army. Are obedient people necessarily timid? People who join the Red Army must be brave? This is not necessarily true. The Soviet Union may not be very popular, but Germany is definitely unpopular in the Soviet Union now. In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish the reasons why the Soviets are divided into two groups. War will always hurt many people, and these people still insist on fighting Germany. There must have been family members or comrades or friends who died in this war, and the Soviets who have not joined the Red Army for the time being may not have suffered any damage in the war yet.
The damage caused by war is simply unavoidable, but it can be transferred. Lin Wei once asked the Gestapo to control the behavior of German soldiers in Ukraine and Belarus. In Russia, although he did not say it explicitly, everyone You know, this young commander doesn't care about the rebels in Russia. Anyway, there are more of them, no more, no less of them.
It was midnight. The brutal tug-of-war continued, with the German army and the Red Army constantly changing their offensive and defensive roles. The forces of both sides are also constantly being depleted. After a day and night of brutal fighting. In the end, only one infantry regiment remained from the three infantry regiments of the division. All three regiment commanders were killed. Both sides shed their blood for this palm-sized place. However, after all, the German army is still stronger. Now they hold the initiative on the battlefield. And the last moment slowly arrived. The war between Germany and the Soviet Union was a war of two concepts and two thoughts, the quality line and the quantity line, Germany's armor-centered approach and the Soviet artillery doctrine, from top to bottom, inside and out, Germany and the Soviet Union were completely different. Reflected in war, it is absolutely Mars hitting the earth.
At night, Guderian's Second Armored Army finally gained the upper hand. Guderian's armored forces joined forces with Marshal Kruger's Fourth Armored Army twenty kilometers southwest of Moscow, cutting off the Soviet Union's 50th Army. The army's retreat. Theoretically speaking, the fate of the surrounded Soviet 50th Group Army will be like that of most of the Soviet troops this year. After being surrounded, it will be annihilated without any suspense.
No matter any unit, they do not want such a fate to fall on their heads. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Soviet 50th Group Army are no exception. Although they are surrounded, they are still ready to break out anytime and anywhere. Although they are surrounded But the Soviet Red Army was not far from them.
The earlier the breakout time is, the safer it is. The commander of the Soviet Red Army obviously thought so. Soon, the vanguard of the breakout operation set off. They planned to cover it under the cover of heavy fog. Many people were killed in groups by intensive firepower in open parks and streets because their figures were exposed by the fire. The remaining soldiers were too frightened by the sight in front of them to move - the screams of bullets were intertwined with the screams and cries of people, and the night was illuminated by clouds of fire, showing different smoke pillars with strange shapes. The trajectories of the machine guns intertwined. Intertwined into a stream of fire in the air. There was a constant flow of bullets everywhere, and some people actually ran towards the German position in the confusion, where brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat immediately broke out! The German army quickly reacted to the chaos. Two Wehrmacht infantry regiments resting nearby rushed to the position immediately. In less than an hour, they launched a decisive and violent artillery bombardment. For the breakouts, it was a massacre. As a result, they were rained down by German artillery fire as soon as they left the position.
Soon, these relatively small and capable German fighting groups took advantage of terrain and man-made obstacles to the extreme. Their clever tactical defenses were able to block the Soviet fast troops before they could reach key targets in the rear of the German campaign. In the process, the Germans separated the attacking Soviet infantry from the fast troops supporting them to inflict maximum losses on the Soviets. By avoiding the fear of the troops and holding only those necessary positions, the German command slowly built up the reserves essential for a counterattack and eventual victory. Of course, a German victory would not have been any better than a defeat. While causing catastrophic losses to the Soviet army, those German divisions were also exhausted.
Lin Wei, who was in the Kremlin, could not see the battle in the southwest suburbs of Moscow, but such a huge momentum would definitely not escape Lin Wei's ears, and naturally there would be a steady stream of news sent to him. For the first time, Lin Wei felt that the National Defense Force was by his side. This feeling had not appeared for a long time since entering Moscow in mid-October. Facing the endless siege of the Red Army every day, the Wehrmacht will only appear in the telegram this time, but now, everything has passed, the Wehrmacht and the SS will be reunited soon, and the results of the rendezvous can be imagined with your toes.
Lin Wei knew that if you talk more for five days and say less for three days, as long as Stalin still stubbornly insists on the current deployment, the 1.5 million Soviet Red Army troops around Moscow will soon return to German prisoner-of-war camps to celebrate the New Year; "I really hope Stalin gives me a week!" Lin Wei thought to himself.
The breakout and counter-breakout battles continued throughout the night. The German Fourth and Second Armored Armies were like giant pliers, severely clamping the Soviet 50th Army in the middle, trying to escape the encirclement of the German army. It is not that easy. The Soviet 50th Army has the advantage that they are not far from the Soviet Red Army in other directions, but the disadvantage is equally obvious, that is, the German army surrounding them has a huge defense density, which is so large that these Red Army soldiers who break through They exhausted almost all their strength but still could not tear open the German defense line. This kind of futility and despair is not something ordinary people can understand.
When Red Army soldiers attack from almost any direction, they can encounter a similar number of German soldiers. The Red Army soldiers in the encirclement circle bump into each other like headless flies until the originally small encirclement circle becomes even narrower. When the morning of the next day came, the encirclement circle had suddenly shrunk by half. Only thirty square kilometers of the surrounding area were controlled by the Red Army. Although the Second Armored Group had not yet reached Moscow, it had already contacted the armed forces in Moscow. The SS were getting closer. On the northern front, General Hott forced the 28th Army of the Soviet Union to retreat continuously. The 3rd Armored Army and the SS in Moscow sandwiched the 28th Army. This situation is like that of the Soviet 28th Army that is now surrounded. Like the 50th Army Group, if the two Soviet armies directly to the west had not maintained pressure on the SS, Lin Wei would probably have ordered the troops to cooperate with General Huot to annihilate this Red Army unit.
If a few days ago the Soviet Red Army around Moscow was able to fight the German Wehrmacht and the SS with its willpower, the Red Army is now completely at a disadvantage. If Stalin carefully observed the situation, he would definitely make a retreat. It was decided that if it was too late, even half of the troops might not be able to be saved.
