Southwest of Moscow, suburbs.
Moscow is surrounded by soft black soil, which is quite easy to dig. Now, these lands have been dug to pieces, and there are ravines everywhere. When the battle is over, it becomes a water conservancy project.
The rainy season in Moscow almost started in August, and now it’s not raining a lot. Otherwise, it will become the most terrifying marsh battle in the position of World War I, fighting in half-leg deep mud, so sour. Shuang, simply unparalleled.
At this time, the atmosphere in the position was somewhat depressed.
A famous soldier, leaning in the trenches behind, with Monasingan's rifle leaning on their shoulders, was smoking a mouthful of cigarettes.
According to the Germans yesterday, at noon, the German fleet would fly to Moscow and drop huge bombs from the sky, and the city behind them would be reduced to ashes.
In order to defend Moscow, they can fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, but now, it is not their turn to sacrifice, and the Germans will completely destroy the city.
Now, they are waiting in silence. They are not capable of stopping the bombing in the sky. At the same time, they also know that when they wait, a cruel aerial war will break out.
The battle on the ground will not begin until the German bombing is over. When they lose the city behind them, the soldiers in the frontline trenches have only one ending, fighting to the last minute.
Very tragic and depressing.
"Prepare everything for me. When the Germans come up, we will kill them with our precise shooting. Yes, even if their infantry is hiding behind the tank, we have a chance!" At this time, in another position in the trench, A clear female voice came.
This is a row of female soldiers, they are dressed differently, especially behind the body, they are also carrying cloaks like bloated cloth. At this time, the talking is a woman who is not tall but is extremely strict.
Lyudmila.
Originally, the students in her sniper school planned to stay in the city and fight street fighting, but yesterday, they were finally sent to the front line. Now, her chest is full of fighting spirit.
What are you afraid of? She died once in Odessa. Now she is not afraid of death at all. What is afraid is that she cannot kill more Germans before she dies.
"do you understand?"
"Understand!" Many female soldiers are on the battlefield for the first time. Although they have undergone rigorous training in school, there are still some who are inexplicably nervous.
"It's in good condition." At this moment, a voice came from the traffic trench behind, and several people walked over with their waists down.
When she heard this, Lyudmila was taken aback, and when she turned her head, she couldn't believe her eyes.
It is actually General Zhukov!
In an instant, she stood up and raised her right hand: "General Zhukov!"
"Keep down!" Zhukov shouted to her loudly. At this moment, Lyudmila knew that she had made a mistake.
This is the forefront of the position. It is less than 800 meters away from the opposite German. For a good shooter, this distance is enough to kill the opposite.
I just made this appearance, I will be headshot by the sniper opposite, I actually made such a serious mistake!
What's even more frightening is that this salute will expose General Zhukov.
There have been many battles. When the soldier salutes, the opposite party knows that the officer is coming. At this time, it does not necessarily have to fire. Maybe the next moment, the mortar will come over, and the officer will be killed. There have been many battles.
Lyudmila made a serious mistake. Although she squatted down instantly after hearing it, she still couldn't help regretting it.
"Quickly, protect General Zhukov from leaving!" Lyudmila said: "Maybe the other side will be shelled!"
However, Zhukov did not leave, he frowned.
After Moscow was disbanded and evacuated at night, Zhukov also came to the front line, stayed in the city and was bombed and burned to death. That would be too useless. In contrast, Zhukov was more willing to die on the battlefield.
With the last few hours left in his life, Zhukov stepped onto the battlefield. He came to the forefront and inspected the defense here. If the battle started, he was willing to pick up his gun and fight the Germans to the last minute.
There is no need for the highest command, no need for coordinated command. When the Germans bombed Moscow, they would rush up all the way, and all the positions would die to the end.
The previous step-by-step retreat will be useless in the street fighting in Moscow.
What's more, the troops that originally planned to fight street fighting in the urban area have been withdrawn. These peripheral troops cannot withdraw, otherwise the Germans will discover their new deployment. Moreover, it will shake the morale of the military and eventually collapse without fighting.
But now, when Lyudmila came up and received no blows, Zhukov was keenly aware of something, something was wrong!
The confrontation between the two sides is supposed to be quite sensitive, and there should be many snipers on the opposite side.
In fact, on the battlefield, it is not necessarily a specialized sniper. Those veterans are very skilled in every way. For example, in China, a veteran holds an old sleeve and gives an island officer a thousand meters away. Killed.
The bolt-action rifles of this era have good accuracy.
Even the machine gunners have sharp eyes. The 12.7mm heavy machine gun can also be used as a sniper rifle in many cases, and it fires continuously, making it more violent.
However, Lyudmila is safe and sound. What does this show?
On the opposite side, no one?
"Give me the telescope." Zhukov said.
"General, you can't probe, it's too dangerous." Lyudmila said.
"Give me the telescope." Zhukov was quite stubborn.
So Lyudmila could only take off her hat, quickly put it on her butt, and slowly poked out to the outside.
At this moment, time seems to be very long.
There was no response from the other side.
So, Lyudmila planned to stick her head out. Before she could move, Zhukov, who got the telescope, stuck her head out and looked around at the opposite position.
When Zhukov retracted his head again, his face was very ugly.
"There is no one on the opposing field?" Lyudmila also realized something and asked Zhukov.
Zhukov basically didn't pretend just now. It is said that the other party must find Zhukov easily, but no one opened fire on him!
"Yes, the Germans retreated." Zhukov said: "Why did the Germans suddenly retreat?"
This question was repeated several times in Zhukov's mouth. Suddenly he thought of something, his face turned pale.
