Chapter 1104: Moscow of Blood and Snow (11)(1/2)

"The report is very good." Tu Mengben put down the report and said with a smile: "But we need to verify whether it is applicable on the battlefield. War is not a child's play. What we need is that it can save the lives of our soldiers, and more

A good one kills the enemy."

Fan Dehui couldn't help but smile bitterly, where can he go to test it?! Is it appropriate to take his people to fight Indians and test this kind of urban street fighting?!

Fan Dehui, who had fought with Indian troops on the battlefield in Southeast Asia, knew that those three brothers were pretty good at posing. If they really fought, they would be scum.

If you use them to test, it is completely impossible to test the real effect. This kind of test requires two extremely powerful armies to compete with each other, so that you can truly test whether this tactical method is suitable.

"Commander, I also want to test this combat method. After all, modern urban warfare is also a new topic for us. How to cooperate with each other in towns and cities, how to preserve our own strength to the maximum extent in towns, and better eliminate

The enemy is also what we are focusing on now."

Fan Dehui rolled his eyes and said: "But where can we find two powerful armies to actually fight in this way on the battlefield?! Besides, even if they fight, how can we observe closely...

"

As Fan Dehui spoke, he was suddenly stunned. When he saw the smiling look of his commander, his heart suddenly lit up. Fan Dehui licked his dry lips and said, "Commander, do you want to hand over this report?"

Give it to the Germans?!”

I just mentioned that without powerful troops fighting each other, the National Defense Forces would not be able to observe even if this combat plan is implemented. But as soon as he finished speaking, Fan Dehui thought of Moscow now.

Aren't there two extremely powerful armies fighting there?! And you have to observe, there are also commandos of the National Defense Force! They are not vegetarians, and these veterans will know what is going on on the battlefield just by scanning it.

How are the tactics implemented, whether they are effective, and what needs to be improved? After these veterans observe, they will definitely make a summary and send it back to the country.

"I didn't say anything, and you didn't ask anything. This report is sealed in the archives of the General Staff, and you will have a backup." Tu Menghu said with a smile: "You continue to do the research, and make adjustments according to the war situation in Moscow. As for

You don’t need to worry about the rest!”

Fan Dehui immediately beamed when he heard this, "Okay! That's great. You don't have to worry about anything and see the results of their use of this tactic. Their experience in the war can be completely digested by the National Defense Forces."

And then transfer it to its own troops. When the time comes, the National Defense Forces will promote this experience in the troops, so that even if they encounter such urban warfare in the future, the National Defense Forces will not be helpless.

As for the Allied forces losing a lot... Anyway, they have already suffered a lot. It would be good to see how the Allies respond to this tactic, so that the General Staff of the National Defense Forces can make an assessment of this.

As a result, a special research report flowed into the hands of the German royal family through some secret channels. A week after receiving this not-so-detailed report, the German royal family suddenly held a cocktail party.

Almost all the Junker nobles came to this cocktail party. Anyone who was in Berlin would at least give the Hohenzollern family a face. And many Junkers, even now, still think that the Hohenzollern family is them.

The object of true allegiance.

The reception looked like the guest of honor was having a good time. The generals were smiling and walking around. But the turmoil inside was invisible to outsiders.

Three days after the cocktail party, the German head of state Adolf Hitler held an emergency combat meeting. The losses of the German army in Moscow had exceeded Hitler's psychological bottom line.

According to reports from Lundstedt and other three army group commanders, as of October 18, more than 200,000 German troops had been killed in the Battle of Moscow.

If the fight continues like this, the three army groups will no longer have the strength to continue fighting even if they capture Moscow. For this reason, the three frontline commanders requested support from Berlin or agreed to their evacuation.

"This is betrayal! This is cowardice! They don't deserve to be called German soldiers at all! I should let them go to a military court instead of leading our excellent German soldiers to die on the front line!"

Hitler was furious in his conference room, but no one in the conference room dared to say a word.

"I almost can't believe that my generals are still in the mood to attend the cocktail party at this time! Don't you care about the survival of Germany at all?! Don't you care about this nation so much?!"

Hitler made it clear directly. He believed that these Junker nobles were still thinking about the Hohenzollern family and therefore did not do their best in the war.

"My Führer, we have all tried our best. And this time we went to His Majesty's cocktail party not just for pleasure." Wilhelm Keitel, Minister of the Supreme Command of the German Wehrmacht, stood up and said respectfully to Hitler.

"In fact, His Majesty summoned us there. It was a cocktail party in name but actually to provide us with certain tactical ideas..." As he said that, Keitel took out a document and handed it to Hitler.

The latter took the document with doubtful eyes. Keitel continued: "His Majesty believes that the Head of State is now leading Germany, so he does not want your prestige to be affected. So he did this

An analysis report, let us forward it to you after reviewing the details..."

Hitler didn't listen to what Keitel said. He just opened the report and read it carefully. The report was very detailed and described all the current status of the Moscow Battle.

The report not only analyzed the tactics and strategic policies of the German army, but also analyzed the Allied combat methods in great detail. Veteran generals only needed to take a look at this kind of report to know that it could not have been made by one person.

This must be a comparative analysis by a large number of staff officers after obtaining detailed combat data from both sides. To write this report, the manpower and material resources spent are not ordinary.

Hitler looked at the report with a gloomy expression. For a moment he thought that the Hohenzollern family had been entrenched in the German land for hundreds of years and must have its own advantages. Making this report was not surprising.

On the other hand, Hitler was also worried about whether the Hohenzollern family would choose to overthrow him and then restore him. After all, they still had a strong foundation for rule in Germany.

Both the upper-class Junker nobles and the lower-class people have a high degree of acceptance of this family. And this is the legacy inherited by the Hohenzollern family from William I and Frederick III.

In their hands, Germany became a unified country. At the same time, it was dominant at the time, and many Germans still believe that William I and Frederick III are heroes of Germany.

"The head of state does not need to worry. Since His Majesty is unwilling to come forward and has handed over this report to us, this already shows his attitude." At this time, the Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy, Erich Raeder, spoke.

"His Majesty told the Führer in this way that he has no intention of intervening in the current German rule. However, he supports you from the mainland, so the purpose of handing this report to you is to improve your prestige among the people...

"

Raeder's words reassured Hitler a lot. Indeed, if the Hohenzollern family wanted to return to politics, it would be an excellent choice to use this report to win the support of the military and gain prestige.

But they chose to hide behind the scenes and submitted this report to Hitler. This seems to have explained something.

"What we need to discuss now is whether the tactics in this report are useful to us?!" Hitler put down the report and looked at the people who were doing it.

"If you all think that the combat methods and ideas in this report are suitable for implementation in Moscow, then we will hand this report to the Moscow front."

With that said, Hitler sat down and looked at everyone, waiting for their statements without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word. Who can guarantee that this report will be executed smoothly?! This is just a tactical deduction, and I think it is the most appropriate way to fight at the moment.

But no one dares to guarantee that this method of combat will be effective when used on the Moscow battlefield.

"Dear Führer, I think we should at least give it a try..." Seeing that no one spoke, Keitel could only stand up helplessly, because Hitler had already looked at him.

The meaning was obvious. Hitler wanted him to stand up and express his stance. If he didn't express his stance at this time, it would be a waste.

"The current war situation in Moscow is obviously not good for us. Under this situation, I suggest that we try to use the tactical strategy mentioned in the newspaper. At least. We can find a suitable combat method..."

After a pause, Keitel continued: "Furthermore, according to reports from the front line, Colonel Otto Skorzeny and his team were extremely active on the battlefield and frustrated the Allied attacks many times. I think he is

A very suitable candidate to train the assault team..."

"We have already obtained a sample of the Tiger assault rifle, and even the Mauser factory has already produced a sample. When this kind of firearm is deployed in the army, I believe it will play a positive role in achieving our results..."

Keitel talked a lot, just to show that the German army mentioned in this report should at least give it a try.

"Oh?! Marshal Keitel, you just mentioned Colonel Skorzeny, right?! He performed well in Moscow?!" Mustache suddenly grasped the point.

Skorzeny, who was about to be forgotten by Hitler, actually performed well with his squad on the Moscow battlefield. This greatly exceeded Hitler's expectations.

Originally, Hitler believed that the most important thing for Skorzeny and his troops was to protect the train guns. They hardly needed to deal with other matters.

But what they didn't expect was that they actually entered the battlefield and were recognized by the Wehrmacht generals. This was extremely rare in the SS.

"Yes, my head of state, Colonel Skorzeny, performed extremely well on the battlefield. He led his team to achieve many achievements." Keitel nodded in response.

"Okay. I agree with you. This report can be sent to the frontline troops for implementation." Hitler nodded and said: "Since Skorzeny performed well, let him train the commandos.

."

"Let Mauser speed up production. We now need a large number of automatic weapons. The Tiger assault rifle is indeed a good firearm. I think it is extremely suitable to equip our troops!"

When Berlin made this decision, Trotsky and others in Moscow knew nothing about it. They are now anxiously waiting for Zhukov's transport fleet on the banks of the Moscow River.

As early as the early days of the war, the United States provided the Soviet Union with a large number of heavy-duty transport vehicles. The Wehrmacht also provided some to the Soviet Union. However, during the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet Union resisted not sending a single transport vehicle.

It was not until the German army had no time to take care of the Soviet troops on the periphery that Kalinin asked Zhukov to take these heavy-loaded vehicles and carry a large amount of supplies to Moscow.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom! Boom! Boom..." The artillery roared continuously, and Moscow was bombed with water splashing everywhere. The tugboats traveling in the river were pushed left and right by the waves raised by the shells.

"Boom!!" Finally, a passenger ship was hit by a German artillery shell. Suddenly the entire passenger ship was blown into a pile of scrap metal and wood on the river. Countless crew members fell into the water and swam to the shore wailing.

It’s winter in Moscow at the end of October. You can imagine how cold the water in the river is.

Many Soviet transport personnel were tragically frozen to death in the river, but the crew members continued with sullen expressions. No one stopped, and no one turned around.

They drove resolutely towards the reserved location in Moscow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The sound of gunfire resounded in Moscow. This is a concerto played in Moscow every day or even every moment.

On those positions, we can see the German and Allied troops roaring and fighting under the fire of guns and artillery. From time to time, German positions were invaded by the Allies, and the German troops on the positions had to choose to retreat after losing their firepower advantage.

withdraw……

Of course, there were also a large number of Allied forces that stormed the German positions that had not been captured for a long time.

"Comrade Pavel, I am very grateful to you for risking your life and constantly transporting supplies to us!" Trotsky warmly shook Pavel's hand and said, "It is precisely because of your existence that we

Have confidence to continue fighting!”

"Comrade Trotsky, I am a soldier of the Soviet Union. I have no reason or excuse not to fight for this country!" Pavel solemnly gave a military salute to Trotsky in the air-raid shelter in the night.

"I have always believed that our Soviet Union is the country that will ultimately win!" Pavel said as he slowly left the office.

The arrival of Zhukov's troops made the entire Allied forces in Moscow cheer. Although there were only 80,000 people, this at least showed the attitude of the Soviet army.

In the public broadcast, the Allies also learned that Kalinin, the leader of the Soviet Union who is currently abroad, is forming new troops. Soon, up to 500,000 troops will go to support the Moscow front.

Zhukov came, but he brought not only those Soviet soldiers. More importantly, he brought a large amount of medicine, weapons, ammunition and food.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." But Zhukov's use of ships to transport supplies and transport wounded soldiers was not hidden from the Germans. The first day he did this, he attracted the attention of the Germans.

Then the German heavy artillery units focused on taking care of the Moscow River Basin that he had to pass every time he came in.

The battlefield in Moscow was so fierce that the German army was unable to deploy troops to encircle and suppress the 80,000 Soviet troops. The inability to mobilize troops was one thing, and more importantly, Zhukov and the others were completely in a state of lurking during the day.
To be continued...
