"General Leeb, I need your 7th Army Corps to lead our allies to capture the front line of Podolsk, and look like we are approaching Moscow, so that Russians will be shocked by us!" Marshal Rommel said.
General Franz? Feng? Leeb nodded. "No problem, Your Excellency. However, Russians has assembled a large number of troops in and around Moscow. If they launch a counterattack, 7th Army Corps will have no problem. But it is hard to say about the armies of those slave countries."
After all, the armies of those slave countries have low combat effectiveness. If they follow German military and fight with the wind, there may not be any problem. But if we face the Russian attack alone, we may not be able to hold on.
"There shouldn't be much of a problem in letting them switch to a defensive state. After all, those slave countries have as many as two million troops. Not to mention other troops, the combat effectiveness of Ukraine's troops can still be guaranteed. Moscow The number of Russian troops in the city is not very large. If you want to eat the troops of our slave countries, it will not be that easy." Marshal Rommel frowned.
"If Russians really dares to leave Moscow and launch an attack on our troops, then we can completely take advantage of the situation and leave them outside the Moscow city. In that case, the difficulty of our attack on Moscow will be further reduced." Lieutenant General Erich Hoeppner said.
Marshal Rommel nodded. "General Leeb, don't worry. Your troops plus the troops of the slave countries are more than two million people. If Russians wants to eat you, it is simply impossible. The best possibility is to defend Moscow to prevent you from launching an attack. After we have solved the West side of Russians and Northwestern Front Army, it is time for the three Army Group Encirclement Offensive Moscow."
The main combat intention of German military is to eliminate the main force of the Russian army this year, and then capture Moscow and Yuzefgrad. Judging from the current situation, it should be very easy for German military to complete this combat intention. After all, the attack has just begun, and German military has already achieved a very favorable situation. There is still more than half a year before winter begins. It took nearly half a year to conquer Moscow, and there was no problem.
"Okay, Your Excellency!" General Franz? Feng? Leeb replied.
German Army Group C's fierce attack quickly eliminated Russian Southwestern Front Army, and reached a place not far from Moscow in one fell swoop. This made the Russia senior officials in Moscow city panic.
Even Joseph summoned Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Zhukov urgently.
"The Germany people are now only a few dozen kilometers away from Moscow. If they are willing, they can even launch an attack on Moscow soon. How can they advance so fast?" Joseph said angrily.
Although he had known for a long time that the Russian army could not resist German offensive. However, German military advanced to the outskirts of Moscow so quickly. Such an attack speed still frightened Joseph. If German military starts to attack Moscow, doesn't that mean that cannonballs will soon fall on his head?
"Comrade Joseph, Germany people's Army Group C are much stronger than our Southwestern Front. This time, they used all their strength. More than three thousand tanks participated in the attack. It is understandable that Southwestern Front cannot resist." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
"Three thousand tanks? If the Germany people use these three thousand tanks to attack Moscow, can we withstand it?" Joseph frowned. There was even a flash of Panic in his eyes. It's just that even he didn't notice it. Although, he has been deified in Buru. However, he is still alone! He couldn't imagine what it would be like if German military used three thousand tanks to attack Moscow.
"Comrade Joseph, if the Germany people really use such a huge Armored Forces to attack Moscow, with the Moscow defenses, we can completely resist them or even destroy them! After all, once the Armored Forces enters the City Urban Warfare, it is very easy to be destroyed. Even the thickly armored Tiger-Panther tanks of the Germany people will still be destroyed by our anti-tank weapons at close range." Zhukov looked very confident.
General Zhukov's answer made Joseph breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it can withstand German offensive, that would be great. In this case, he doesn't have to worry about his safety being affected.
"How many troops do we have in and around Moscow city now?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, excluding Reserve Front Army, there are only more than one million people." Marshal Shaposhnikov replied.
"Not enough, far from enough. There are three million Army Group C people from Germany alone. Our troop strength is still too small. Order Reserve Front Army to immediately enter Moscow to perform defensive combat missions. Comrade Zhukov, the Moscow Garrison Commander officer, must begin to perform his duties." Joseph ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Zhukov replied.
"In addition, find a way to mobilize more troops from the rear to reinforce Moscow. We will have a decisive battle with the Germany people at Moscow. If there are not enough troops, it will be impossible to withstand the Germany people's attack!" Joseph continued.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph. I will order the troops in the rear to reinforce Moscow as soon as possible." Marshal Shaposhnikov replied.
Joseph nodded. He hoped that the Russian army could defeat German military in the Moscow defensive battle and eliminate the Russian army's effective strength. In this case, they may be able to resist German offensive. It even brought the entire war to a turning point.
However, neither the top executives of Joseph nor Russia thought that German Army Group C's approach to Moscow was just a show. The real intention of German military is to go towards the Russian Western Front Army and Northwestern Front Army. After the effective forces of the Russian army are eliminated, German military will launch Encirclement Offensive on Moscow. In that case, the possibility of Germany defeating Russia would be higher.
German 7th Army Corps, with the assistance of Puppet Troops, captured Podolsk in just one day. Subsequently, German 9th Army Corps, 16th Army Corps, 17th Army Corps and 18th Army Corps turned to advance rapidly northward.
