"Quick! This section of the trench must be dug today, otherwise, we won't be able to eat!"
Several Russian soldiers drove hundreds of Moscow civilians, holding tools such as hoes and shovels, to dig trenches on the outskirts of Moscow. Although most of these civilians are old, weak, women and children, the young ones have been forcibly recruited into the army.
After Joseph issued the order, Moscow could only enter but not exit. At the same time, under the advice of the Chief of General Staff Marshal Shaposhnikov, these Moscow civilians had to use their own labor in exchange for the food they needed to survive. They participated in the construction of Moscow's defense system to speed up the construction of these defense facilities.
The outskirts of Moscow will form a defensive position with trenches, barbed wire and Landmine. Inside the city, fortifications were built on the streets. German military's firepower is too powerful. Once German military attacks Moscow, it is very difficult to say how many buildings in Moscow's city will be left. Therefore, the Russian army was not in a hurry to deploy firepower points on those buildings. After German military blows Moscow into ruins, it will be more useful to arrange firepower points among the ruins.
After General Zhukov was appointed as Moscow Garrison Commander, Marshal Shaposhnikov handed over the construction of Moscow's defense system to General Zhukov. After all, as the garrison commander of Moscow, Moscow's defense system should be built by General Zhukov. In this case, in the subsequent battle, General Zhukov will be able to better command the troops to resist the attack of Germany.
This also caused great misfortune to the civilians in Moscow city. Almost all the people in the city participated in the construction of Moscow's defense system. This makes the construction of Moscow's defense system very fast.
Of course, there is no way around this. German military is attacking fiercely, and it seems that it is not far away from Moscow. If we don't hurry up, by the time the Germany people attack Moscow's city, their defense system will not be established yet. In that case, what can we do to resist the Germany people's attack? After losing their strength advantage, if they didn't even build a defense system, they wouldn't be able to keep Moscow.
When the battle on the front line was in full swing, German military A Army Group Commander Vilna? Feng? Marshal Blomberg, B Army Group Commander Marshal Guderian, C Army Group Commander Marshal Rommel, all returned to Berlin. The reason why they returned to Berlin at this time is because General Staff Headquarters has a new battle plan for them to complete.
When the three marshals arrived at General Staff Headquarters, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire and Chief of General Staff Field Marshal Manstein were already waiting here.
"Your Majesty, good afternoon!" Several marshals saluted Oscar respectfully. Although they are already marshals with heavy troops, they know very well that everything they are now is because of Oscar's important use of them. And they are now using victory after victory to repay Oscar's support for them.
"My marshals, you have worked hard, please take a seat!" Oscar said with a smile.
"Everyone, I call you back urgently. I, General Staff Headquarters, hope to fight a large-scale battle on the Buru battlefield. I strive to eliminate the main force of the Russian army in one fell swoop. If we can win, this will greatly speed up the demise of Russia." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Several marshals looked at Field Marshal Manstein. As Commander on the front line, they undoubtedly had a better understanding of Buru's strength. I also know that Buru seems to be suppressed by Germany now. But Buru's strength is still there. If you want to slowly wear out Buru, it will still take a lot of time. It would be great if we could speed up the demise of Buru.
"According to the recently obtained intelligence, United States's war deployment seems to be almost completed. Therefore, the time for United States to participate in the war is getting closer. Although Imperial Navy is very powerful, we cannot The heavy responsibility of holding back Americans rests with the navy. We must prepare as soon as possible. In this way, if any accident occurs, we will not have no power to fight back. "Field Marshal Manstein continued.
Several marshals nodded repeatedly. If United States wanted to join the war, Germany would undoubtedly be the best to defeat Buru first. That way, they can focus their efforts on United States. After all, United States is a more powerful opponent than Buru.
"Currently on the Buru battlefield, our Army Group A, Army Group B and Army Group C are fighting against the Russian Northwestern Front Army, Western Front and Southwestern Front respectively. On these battlefields, we have all gained an advantage. Especially Army Group C, has gained an overwhelming advantage. If Army Group C had not deliberately controlled the speed of advancement, Russian Southwestern Front Army might have been defeated." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Marshal Rommel nodded. "Russian Southwestern Front Army has insufficient troops, and the weapons, equipment, and combat effectiveness of the troops are much worse than ours. It is not difficult to defeat them. If we attack with all our strength, we can defeat the remaining troops within five days."
"Yes, I also believe that Army Group C is completely able to do this." Field Marshal Manstein said.
"Marshals, the General Staff Headquarters plan, through a large-scale battle, will defeat the Russian army's Southwestern Front, Western Front and in one fell swoop. Northwestern Front Army will be wiped out. In this case, nearly half of the main force of the Russian army will be wiped out by us. If we can succeed, we will completely destroy Russia." Field Marshal Manstein said.
The eyes of several marshals were bright. In fact, the battle they were currently engaged in was to eliminate these fronts of the Russian army. However, German military is launching the attack step by step.
According to the current tactics, there will be no problem in defeating these front armies of the Russian army. However, it is not easy to annihilate them all. After the Russian army is defeated, it will retreat backwards, for example, to Moscow to hold on. In that case, it will undoubtedly add a lot of resistance to German military's capture of Moscow.
"Army Group C increased the intensity of the attack, defeated Russian Southwestern Front Army in the shortest time, and looked like he was pounced on Moscow. When they were about to arrive at Moscow, several main members of Group C The group army turned to launch an attack to the north, cutting off the retreat of the Russian Western Front Army and Northwestern Front Army. Cooperate with Army Group B and Army Group A to eliminate them!" Field Marshal Manstein continued.
