Smolensk is only three hundred kilometers away from Moscow. Once German military eliminates the remnants of the Russian Western Front Army and captures Smolensk, then, with German military's advancement speed, it may only take less than a month to defeat Moscow's city.
The capital of Buru is also their heart. Moscow has irreplaceable importance in Buru. If Moscow falls, it will cause an unpredictable and major blow to Buru.
Of course, even if Moscow falls, Buru will never give up. They will continue to move east and continue to resist German offensive. However, if it really comes to that point, the situation will become even more difficult for Buru. If they want to defeat German military, it will undoubtedly be more difficult. No one wants the situation to develop to that point.
"It's not just the Army Group B of the Germany people, their Army Group C is also coming for Moscow. Even if their Army Group A takes over After defeating Ulyanovsk, we will definitely go south to attack Moscow. At that time, we will be attacked by Germany's three-way Encirclement Offensive!" Marshal Voroshilov said.
Suddenly, the expressions of everyone in the office changed drastically. In the past week's battle, they have deeply realized how powerful German military is. If Moscow is really defeated by German military's three-way Encirclement Offensive, it will be almost impossible to defend Moscow.
"We must try our best to avoid this situation from happening!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." All the generals replied. However, Joseph could clearly feel their lack of confidence from their tone of voice. Indeed, in this battle, the performance of Germany's experience has made these generals fear German military.
"Comrade Joseph, we need to let Western Front, Southwestern Front and Northwestern Front Army hold on. It must be delayed for at least another month. In that case, the Germany people's attack will have to stop. We will have enough time to train the army and even launch a counterattack." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
Joseph nodded. He knew this, so he was not completely discouraged.
The other generals' eyes also lit up. Indeed, German military's sudden attack this time left them unprepared and unprepared, causing heavy losses. However, the Russian army was not weakened by this, and they still had sufficient strength.
Russia's winter is not only cold, but also lasts for a long time. Even people from other countries who are also Europe countries may not be able to persist. When Napoleon Bonaparte led his army to attack Russia, wasn't that why he was defeated? Ultimately leading to the crash of the French Empire.
Now, Germany attacks Buru. This situation is undoubtedly very similar to when French Empire attacked Russia. Perhaps, they can also use these advantages to defeat the Germany people.
Russia's winter lasts for several months. This will be a rare respite for Russia, who suffered a disastrous defeat in the war. They can use this time to train the mobilized troops and rebuild their defense lines. Even under the cover of heavy snow, he launched a counterattack against German military.
"Our second batch of mobilization is almost completed. This can not only make up for the troops we lost on the battlefield, but also increase the number of our troops. After a winter of training and accumulating strength, we will have enough strength to fight the Germany people next spring!" Marshal Voroshilov said.
"Comrade Joseph, we can also use this time to ask for help from Americans. The military assistance Americans promised us can currently only be transported through Siberian Railway. Due to the capacity constraints of Siberian Railway, it will take a long time to arrive. I We must ask Americans to open other routes. In addition, German military has shown such strong combat effectiveness in this war, so we can ask Americans Early Entry into War." Marshal Voroshilov continued.
Joseph nodded repeatedly, these are Buru's ways to recover from the disadvantage.
"I will ask People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs to go to United States as a special envoy. Germany people are powerful, and Americans can no longer stand idly by. Otherwise, once we are defeated, there will be absolutely no benefit to them." Joseph said.
"Comrade Joseph, on the western defense line, we need to start to fortify the walls and clear the country. The population and various materials must be evacuated to the East as much as possible. In that case, even if the Germany people occupy those territories, they will not be able to use those territories. This pair It will be a kind of containment for the Germany people. In addition, we also need to develop guerrillas extensively and let them attack the Germany people on the battlefield behind enemy lines to contain the Germany people's strength as much as possible." Shaposhnikov also suggested.
Developing guerrillas is undoubtedly what Buru is good at. Even before the success of the revolution, Joseph himself led the guerrillas in the guerrilla war in the mountainous areas of Georgia. In this regard, he is quite experienced.
"Well, we need more party members to stay in the enemy war zone in the west, organize guerrillas, and combat the arrogance of the Germany people!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph."
"The Comrade Joseph and Germany people have been preparing for this battle for many years. To this end, they have even cooperated with us to build a large number of railways and roads in the west. This will undoubtedly allow them to use those railways and roads to advance quickly. However, except for the western region, the railways and roads in other regions, But it's not that perfect. The Germany troops have a lot of tanks, armored vehicles and Truck. The bad traffic will slow down their advance. In this case, it will be even more difficult for the Germany people to attack the Moscow!
Other generals also offered their suggestions. Originally, the atmosphere was very dull. Everyone thought that Buru was very likely to lose the war this time. However, when everyone listed the advantages of Buru one by one, everyone found that Buru still has great advantages. If everything goes well, they may not be able to defeat the Germany people.
"Comrades, the Germany people are very strong. We are at a huge disadvantage in this war. But at the same time, we also have many advantages. As long as we can bring these advantages into full play, we may not be unable to defeat the Germany people!" Joseph said with confidence.
