Chapter 1017

"But if we retreat like this, we will lose more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops. I read a book. "Vasiliev was still a little reluctant on the phone. After all, these elite Soviet soldiers who have experienced the baptism of war are too precious. It's heartbreaking to give up half of them all at once.

"No pity, general Vasilev." Zhukov gave a wry smile, then calmed down for a moment, and then continued to say, "if the German army attacks first, then, even a third, I'm not sure I can bring it back to Moscow. At this time, if you can save one more, just save one more... "

Vasiliev was silent on the phone for a moment, then he answered Zhukov's order: "since you have made up your mind, I will carry out your order! I'm going to mobilize my troops to go north. Please help me contact the air force and apply for as much cover as possible... "

This is also what it should mean. Modern war can no longer bypass the threshold of air investigation. If the German Army knows the intention of the Soviet troops going north, it is likely that the other side will take advantage of the situation to kill the Zhukov group, which has lost its fortification support. Vasiliev could only hope that the sacrifice of the Soviet air force would delay the time for the German army to discover the truth.

While Zhukov, Vasilev and konev were trying to find a way out for hundreds of thousands of Kursk garrison, Stalin was also trying his best to strengthen the defense in the north and the front of Moscow. The nearest German army is less than 25 kilometers away from Moscow, which is not good news for Stalin.

Stalin detained more than 1OO su-76 assault guns and 35 su-122 assault guns that were supposed to support Zhukov, leaving them to the Moscow garrison, which was constantly shrinking its defense line. He hopes that these temporary pieces of heavy weaponry and equipment can shape his Moscow defense system and buy enough time.?? What do you want to see?? Books?

Of course, these equipment did scare the German army. Some German troops even claimed that they were copying the Soviet Assault guns. They mistook the Soviet Garrison's su-76 for the friendly assault leopard. And these temporary service tank destroyers did bring some trouble to the German army.

In his headquarters, general Kluger received reports from many troops. They claimed that the number of Soviet tanks was increasing, and that they relied on camouflage to fire at very close range. These temporarily modified tank destroyers did bring certain losses to the German armored forces.

In a few days, 17 German tanks were destroyed by the Soviet tank destroyers. Although at least 40 Soviet tanks were killed, such a close exchange ratio really made the German senior generals who took the elite route have a headache.

In another time and space, the most depressing weapon for the Allies was not the Tiger Tank dominating the battlefield, nor the advanced leopard and tiger king; The weapons produced by the German army from the beginning of the war to the end are not those terrible war monsters. On the contrary, the humble No. 3 tank destroyer is the Last Armored pillar used by the German army.

These short and sharp expedients hide the shortcoming that they have no turret when defending. They can often exert their imaginative strength on the preset defensive positions. Someone once made statistics that Germany produced 10000 No. 3 assault guns, while Tiger tanks only produced more than 13oo.

From the data, it is not difficult to see that the Tiger tank, which is famous all over the world, seems to be paid less attention to by the German government and the industrial sector than the No. 3 assault gun. The cheap and seemingly outdated No. 3 assault gun also rewarded the German army's trust in it by destroying 20000 allied tanks. What do you want? Look?? Book · 1 book K? A? Nshu · CC

Unfortunately, different from another time and space, the current situation seems to be reversed. The German army has been constantly attacking, while the Soviet army has now become the defensive side. As a result, the assault guns, which were cheap and easy to produce, even served as the real life-saving straws of Nazi Germany in another time and space, now turned into the great weapon of self salvation of the Soviet Union.

What we have to admit is that in the current situation, there is really no good way to deal with the Soviet tank destroyer, which disguises itself in any possible deployment location and uses one life for another to snipe German tanks. At least the German army lacks experience in dealing with this kind of rogue fighting, because after all, the Soviet Union is not much behind the German army in the power of tanks and artillery.

In the middle of June, the German army destroyed 17O Soviet armored vehicles, including tanks, destroyers and tanks. At the same time, Stalin received 165 tank destroyers of various types from the rear. This nearly flat consumption made Stalin seem to have found the key to victory, so he ordered to stop production of tanks and instead produce this "victory weapon" without turret.

"Comrade Stalin, the front has been basically stabilized by us. The German army, fearing losses, has stopped its crazy advance in the north and the front. Although the enemy's nearest place is only 20 kilometers away from ours, as long as we delay until September, the weather will help us delay the German army until next spring. " General vatukin was very optimistic about Moscow's defense. He even felt that he might turn the whole war around under Moscow.

On hearing this news, Stalin seemed a little relaxed. In recent weeks, the man with a big beard's cheek has been haggard with naked eyes. Even his favorite pipe has not been smoked much. He and a group of men who had long been frightened tried to expand the armored forces near Moscow, hoping to rely on these equipment to stop the German attack. Now, it seems that it has played a certain role. Those crude weapons and equipment have indeed provided a certain anti tank capability for the garrison near Moscow, and having the anti tank capability has undoubtedly enhanced the confidence of these recruits in fighting against the German aggressors. Like the Germans in another time and space, the Soviet Union converted all the armored vehicles it could find into Anti Tank self-propelled guns. For example, some manual workshops demolished the turret of the outdated T-26 tank and added a 76 mm caliber cannon that could not be moved at all. Even after the production of a su-76 tank destroyer, the top management of the Soviet Union counted all 76 mm caliber self-propelled guns as su-76. They did not know whether they were emboldening their own soldiers or emboldening themselves. These crude guns have no top armor, some even no side armor. They deceive themselves by installing some front armor and making some supports that can hang sandbags, even if "tanks" are allocated to the front-line troops. The front-line troops have nothing to rely on anyway, so they simply use these weapons as "tanks". If we take into account the thousands of T-26 tanks and old-fashioned kV tanks that can't go to the battlefield, it's not difficult to understand why the Soviet Union, which is facing the exhaustion of resources, can quickly supply "su-76 and su-122" to the front-line forces. To put it simply, it's nothing more than a word game of self deception“ Behind the French windows of every shop, anti tank guns were set up. Mine every garden. " Stalin's expressionless face to his city defense commander watujing command: "every street, every house, must be carefully arranged defense positions. Moscow is our last fortress. No one can step back... Understand? "“ Yes, comrade leader. I've asked civilians to set up defensive positions in the city. Many streets have begun to dig trenches and trenches. Car wrecks and collapsed ruins have been used as obstacles to block the main roads. " Watujing stood at attention and introduced the progress of defense deployment in the city“ I've just given the order of the supreme command. Zhukov's group is drawing closer to us. As long as we join forces successfully, Moscow will have hundreds of thousands more troops. The military strength is not a problem. I hope you can understand that. " Stalin mentioned Zhukov's troops, and his face turned a little red. Zhukov is still firmly supporting him and carrying out all his orders, which means that he did not read the wrong person, so when he mentioned Zhukov, his mood was slightly higher. "..." After hearing the news of Zhukov's going north, vatujing also relaxed a little. He knew how thoroughly Moscow was fortress. Including the subway project, the underground area tens of meters deep was full of labyrinth like air defense facilities. As long as there were enough troops, it would become a slaughterhouse for the soldiers of both sides to drain their blood. This is also the only good news he has heard in more than ten days. Just now, vatukin heard that the German army had captured two small towns north of Moscow, only 18 kilometers away from Moscow. He did not dare to report this information to Stalin. After all, the gap between 18 km and 20 km was not big. Stalin took a look at watujing, who didn't speak. Because he was in a good mood, he suddenly said, "I know you are very hard to prepare for this hard battle, and I understand your current mood. But you must believe me and believe that the Soviet Union will win! "“ Yes! Comrade leader Vatukin quickly nodded yes. He had just imagined that he could turn the war around in Moscow, so he resonated with Stalin's words. At least he felt the weakness of the German attack, which is the best proof that the German army also began to be weak“ Get ready! " Stalin thought for a moment, and then said to vatukin, "find some decent tanks. In two days, I will hold a military parade in Moscow Red Square! In the end, the victory will belong to the great Soviet people! " For mobile phone users, please visit http://
