"Come on! Long live Comrade Joseph!"
Countless Russian soldiers shouted slogans, stepped on the corpses of their comrades on the ground, and launched an attack on German defensive line. But what responded to them was the intensive firepower of German military.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
German military's artillery and machine guns are firing wildly. The powerful firepower made it impossible for the Russian army to even reach German defensive line, let alone break through German defensive line.
In the air, the fleet of German military aircraft continued to launch attacks. In order to support German military on the ground, German Air Force can be considered as doing their best.
On the ground, the corpses of Russian soldiers were piled up in layers. However, these still failed to stop the Russian army. Their offensive was still very fierce, as if they were not afraid of death at all.
However, as the casualties increased. The intensity of the Russian army's attacks is also gradually decreasing. There is no way to do this. There is no way for them to replenish the troops that have been lost.
German Army Group B headquarters, Marshal Guderian also issued orders for an all-out attack. The five armies of Army Group B, plus troops from Poland and Belarus, Hungary and Bohemia, all participated in the attack. Millions of troops, like Mount Tai, pressed against the Russian defense line. Six Armored Division and 12 Mechanized Infantry Division went on a rampage, constantly breaking through the Russian defense line. As a result, Russian Western Front Army's troops deployed on the frontal battlefield were constantly defeated or surrounded.
"Order all ministries to increase the intensity of the attack. The lost personnel and equipment will be replenished as soon as possible after the battle! The armies of the slave countries can be allowed to participate in the frontal attack. Russians's strength has been continuously weakened by us. They are now almost at the end of their strength. Soon, we can eliminate them." Marshal Guderian ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Karl? Lieutenant General Hillpet replied.
Under Marshal Guderian's request, German military's offensive became more intense. This puts Russian Western Front Army under greater pressure. If they cannot break through the blockade of German military in time and escape back to Moscow, the only path waiting for them may be destruction.
Dorokhovo, the headquarters of the Russian Western Front Army. Marshal Voroshilov, accompanied by a group of officers, left the headquarters and went to the front line for inspection. However, when he used his binoculars to see the Russian soldiers going to die one after another, his face became very ugly.
"Comrade Malanjin, can our troops still hold on?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.
"Comrade Commander, we are still deploying troops to the attack. However, we have to admit that the firepower of the Germany people is too strong. We have lost a lot of troops during the attack." Lieutenant General Malanjin said.
Marshal Voroshilov nodded, the current attack is indeed no different from sending someone to death. There are German aircraft overhead and Germany people's powerful firepower on the ground. Even a large number of Germany people's tanks and armored vehicles have not yet gone into battle. Otherwise, they will pay greater losses. But knowing this was the case, they had no choice but to launch an attack. Otherwise, what awaits them is complete destruction.
"Comrade Commander, why not wait until night to launch the attack? In that case, German aircraft will not be able to participate in the battle. At the same time, their firepower will also be restricted." Lieutenant General Ponomarenko suggested.
Marshal Voroshilov shook his head. "The Germany people's Army Group B are attacking fiercely, and their reinforcements are also coming. If time continues to drag on, it will be very detrimental to us. What's more, just Even if we launch the attack at night, there are still thousands of tanks on the Germany people's defense line. At that time, the Germany people can definitely put in the Armored Forces people to defeat our infantry!"
Lieutenant General Ponomarenko suddenly fell silent. He knew that he took it for granted.
"Continue to deploy troops to attack! Although the firepower of the Germany people is very strong, if they continue to launch attacks, they will still find loopholes. At that time, as long as we break through the Germany people's defense line, we will be able to return to Moscow." Marshal Voroshilov ordered.
However, even Marshal Voroshilov doesn't know how many of the more than three million troops in West will be able to escape back to Moscow.
"Attack!"
Following the officer's order, countless Russian soldiers jumped out of their positions and launched an attack on German defensive line.
Although, what awaits them is death. However, this still cannot stop them.
The situation of the Russian Northwestern Front Army is similar to that of Western Front. In fact, the situation is even worse. Russian Northwestern Front Army has only 8 armies with more than one million people. In terms of military strength, it is much less than German military Army Group A. In the previous battles, a lot of losses were incurred. So much so that they are now facing the onslaught of German military Army Group A and simply cannot hold on.
After the Russian Northwestern Front Army's retreat was blocked by German 9th Army Corps and 16th Army Corps, General Kilponos had no choice but to deploy troops to break out. But unfortunately, under the fierce attack of German military Army Group A, they were unable to mobilize many troops at all. In addition, German 9th Army Corps is an armored army, with thousands of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles. In the face of such a strong line of defense, you can imagine the difficulty for the Russian Northwestern Front Army to break through German defensive line.
It can be said that the fate of the Russian Northwestern Front Army has been decided. If they want to break through German defensive line, it is almost impossible.
If the Russian troops deployed at Moscow can be dispatched to attack German military from both sides, it may be possible to tear open the defense line. In that case, the Russian troops in the encirclement may be able to escape to Moscow.
But unfortunately, in order to ensure the safety of Moscow. Joseph followed General Zhukov's suggestion and let the surrounded Russian Western Front Army and Northwestern Front Army break out on their own. This more than doubled the difficulty of breaking out.
The final result was that Russian Western Front Army and Northwestern Front Army hit their heads in front of German defensive line and suffered heavy losses.
However, Russian Western Front Army's luck is slightly better than Northwestern Front Army. In other words, this is because they have strong military strength. That night, when the Russian army invested a large number of troops to launch an attack, they were massacred by German armored forces. But another of their troops bypassed German military's heavily trooped defense line and fled back to Moscow. However, this army only has a total of more than 200,000 people, which is less than one-tenth of the total strength of Western Front.
