Dorokhovo is a small town fifty kilometers west of Moscow. This was once the headquarters of the Russian Western Front Army. Now, this place has become the headquarters of German Army Group B.
In the German Army Group B headquarters, in the office of Commander Marshal Guderian, A Army Group Commander Marshal Blomberg, C Army Group Commander Marshal Rommel, and B Army Group Commander Marshal Guderian as the master, all sat together.
German military's attack on Moscow is about to begin, and German Army is about to launch an attack on Moscow. The army has three Army Group, and millions of troops have gathered around Moscow. The attack of these armies on Moscow needs to be coordinated. In particular, the main purpose of German military's attack on Moscow is not to capture this place, but to use the attack to consume the Russian army's effective strength.
"Marshal Guderian, General Staff Headquarters's order has been issued, right? This time we attack Moscow, but you are responsible for it!" Marshal Blomberg smiled.
"Yes, Marshal Blomberg. General Staff Headquarters's order was issued just this morning. However, no matter who is in charge, our strategic purpose must be achieved." Marshal Guderian said.
"Of course! The attacks on Moscow and Yuzefgrad are almost the last two large-scale battles against Russia. After these two battles are over, Russia will almost be destroyed." Marshal Blomberg said.
Marshal Guderian and Marshal Rommel nodded repeatedly.
"In the past few days, the Air Force has been launching carpet bombings against Moscow. The entire Moscow has been blown into ruins. Russians in the city have suffered unknown casualties. However, no matter what, this is a tragic battle. Russians will not give in so easily. They will definitely defend their position!" Marshal Guderian said.
"Russians's fighting will is still very tenacious. However, their weapons and equipment are too bad, and their command is too chaotic. The soldiers' combat literacy cannot be compared with ours. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the Russian army to compete with us." Marshal Rommel said.
"Who made Joseph launch Great Purge and kill so many experienced generals and officers in order to control the Russian army. Otherwise, the Russian army would not be so weak." Marshal Blomberg sighed.
They all believe that Great Purge initiated by Joseph is completely an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Although this gave Joseph complete control over Buru's army, it caused the Russian army's combat effectiveness to continue to decline. After the war with Germany broke out, he naturally tasted the consequences.
"You two, the air force's bombing will end tomorrow. Then, our attack will start tomorrow. All artillery is ready to launch artillery bombardment on Moscow starting tomorrow. Then dispatch Armored Forces to quickly clear out the Russian troops on the outskirts of Moscow, invade the Moscow city, and engage in street fighting!" Marshal Guderian said.
Marshal Blomberg and Marshal Rommel nodded.
"Although the Air Force's strategic Bomber will stop bombing Moscow, the tactical aviation group will continue to support us. Let the following troops call for artillery support and air support as much as possible during combat Support. We must not let the soldiers fight for problems that can be solved with artillery shells and bombs. The battle against Russia is about to end, and we should control the casualties of the troops." Marshal Guderian said.
"Of course. We have been preparing for this war for so many years. There is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, so there is no need for the soldiers to fight for their lives." Marshal Blomberg smiled.
"Yes! After fighting Russia, we still have to fight United States and Island Nation. There are still battles to be fought. The lives of our soldiers are very precious. When necessary, the army of the slave country can be allowed to fight in street battles. Let them consume Russians's vitality." Marshal Rommel said. Instead of wasting precious troops on Moscow, waste them on Russian front. Marshal Rommel hopes to lead an army to land on United States and defeat the US military.
Marshal Guderian and Marshal Blomberg both laughed, they also had the same idea. Once the Moscow attack enters street fighting, only a small number of German military troops will be deployed in the Moscow urban area. The rest of the troops were replaced by the troops of the slave countries. Use the army of the slave country to consume the effective strength of the Russian army.
After reaching an agreement, Marshal Blomberg and Marshal Rommel returned to their Army Group and conveyed the combat methods they had reached to the troops below.
On May 14, German military's large-scale bombing of Moscow ceased. However, this does not mean that the Russian troops and civilians at Moscow can take a breather. In fact, this is exactly what means the real war begins.
This morning, at dawn, German military three Army Group, 13 German military group armies, and 28 slave state group armies, assembled more than 900 210mm Heavy Howitzer, two 210mm Heavy Howitzer More than 1,500 150mm heavy-duty Howitzer, more than 10,000 105mm Light Howitzer and more than 20,000 75mm Field Gun launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Russian positions on the outskirts of Moscow.
More than 30,000 cannons were prepared for firepower for half a day. Artillery shells hit the Russian position like raindrops one after another.
Continuous explosions sounded on the Russian army's position, destroying the fortifications built by the Russian army and taking away the lives of the Russian army.
Even though the Russian army mobilized a large number of civilians to participate in the construction of Moscow's fortifications. However, due to the lack of materials, it is undoubtedly difficult for the civil structure defenses to withstand the fierce bombardment of German military.
Under the fierce bombardment of German military, the Russian army's defenses were destroyed bit by bit.
Faced with the fierce bombardment of German military, the Russian artillery also launched a counterattack. The 203mm Howitzer, 152mm Howitzer, 122mm Howitzer and 76.2mm field guns all launched counterattacks. However, whether it is the size of the artillery or the performance of the artillery, the Russian army is at a disadvantage. Among Artillery Battle, they can't take any advantage at all.
At the same time, German Air Force's tactical aviation cluster also rushed to the battlefield and bombed the Russian artillery positions, further causing heavy losses to the Russian artillery.
After half a day's Artillery Battle, the Russian artillery was almost completely lost. The rest of the artillery can only withdraw Moscow to hold on.
On the afternoon of May 14, German military and Commander of three Army Group issued the order to attack. German military and three Army Group launched a comprehensive attack on Moscow from three directions.
