"Attack, attack! Kill all those Russians!"

A large group of Belarus troops are charging under the leadership of officers. Behind them, Heavy Machine Gun and mortars are providing fire cover for them. Although many soldiers still have a look of fear on their faces, these Belarus soldiers are still charging bravely.

"Fire! Kill all those Belarusians!"

The Russian officers on the position issued the order. Although Belarusians and Russians are both Slavs, they can be said to have the same language and race. But now, they are fighting fiercely in Moscow City.

"Da da da!"

The two Heavy Machine Guns on the Russian army's position began to fire. The dense bullets shrouded the Belarus officers and soldiers like heavy rain. Many soldiers were knocked to the ground and died miserably.

The rest of the people were also suppressed on the street and did not dare to move forward.

A fierce battle took place in Moscow city. Although, German military's casualties were not small, especially the troops of the various slave countries who entered Moscow's city to replace German military's, suffered heavy casualties. But overall, German military still maintains its offensive. The position occupied by Moscow in the urban area is also getting larger and larger.

On the other hand, the Russian army suffered considerable losses under German offensive. Even after German military gradually withdrew from Moscow, the pressure they endured dropped a lot. Even, they gradually launched a counterattack against German auxiliary forces. But as German auxiliary forces gradually adapted to the fierce fighting in Moscow city, the losses of the Russian army began to continue to rise. This made the Russian army have to send more troops for the attack if they wanted to persist in the fierce battle in Moscow city.

Under this ebb and flow, the Russian army's losses continued to increase. It is foreseeable that in order to defend Moscow, they will pay an extremely heavy price. In fact, the Russian army's effective strength will gradually be lost here. This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous for Russia. The main generals of the Russian army also realized this problem.

"Damn it, Germany people are so vicious. Do they want to consume our strength through street fighting between Moscow and Yuzefgrad? In that case, once all our troops are lost, we will no longer be able to fight against them!" General Zhukov's face was very ugly.

The same is true for Marshal Shaposhnikov sitting in front of General Zhukov.

"Now the main Operations Department teams that Germany people have invested in Moscow are all Poles, Ukraine people, Belarusians, Hungarians, Bohemians and Baltic States people. Although there are still some Germany people in Moscow, the number is not large anymore. Germany people want to use their cannon fodder to consume our troops!" Marshal Shaposhnikov said.

"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff. Obviously, this vicious plan of the Germany people is about to succeed." General Zhukov looked a little frustrated.

Although they are already aware of German military's strategy. However, they had no way to solve it. This is undoubtedly very painful for them. Because, they want to watch the Russia's vitality being wiped out bit by bit by the Germany people.

Shaposhnikov nodded, he had no good solution for this.

"Now it seems that defending Moscow and Yuzefgrad is not a good idea at all. The street fighting in these two cities will swallow up all our vitality. Although the casualties of the Germany people are not small, they are just cannon fodder. Once our vitality is almost lost, we will no longer be able to stop the Germany people. The entire Russia will be destroyed." General Zhukov continued.

Marshal Shaposhnikov looked ugly, of course he could guess this. However, stick to Moscow and Yuzefgrad, which is the requirement of Joseph. The generals and marshals who commanded the battle could only obey the orders of Joseph. Once they disobey, the consequences will be very serious, and Joseph will never let them go.

"If possible, we can completely evacuate Moscow and Yuzefgrad, continue to retreat eastward, or even retreat all the way to the east of the Ural Mountains. On Eastern European Plain, only a few troops will be left, and more guerrillas will be formed. The guerrillas will consume the vitality of the Germany people. Anyway, our main factories have been moved to the east of the Ural Mountains. In this way, we can not only preserve our strength, but also further extend the logistics supply line of the Germany people. This will be of great benefit to us in defeating the Germany people." General Zhukov continued.

Marshal Shaposhnikov said nothing, although he also knew that General Zhukov's suggestion was correct. However, when Joseph was involved, he did not dare to speak carelessly. In that case, he would be involved.

General Zhukov is very disappointed with the performance of Marshal Shaposhnikov. He originally hoped that Marshal Shaposhnikov could support him. In that case, maybe Joseph can be convinced. But now it seems that Marshal Shaposhnikov has chosen to protect himself wisely. Even though he knows that Joseph's strategy is wrong, he is still unwilling to take the risk of offending Joseph. Even so, it would be of great benefit to Russia.

Afterwards, General Zhukov went directly to Kremlin and had a long talk with Joseph in the basement of Kremlin.

Zhukov proposed that the Russian army should now abandon Moscow and Yuzefgrad and retreat to the east. Even retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains. However, this was flatly rejected by Joseph.

Joseph demands General Zhukov, stop thinking about these useless things. Instead of thinking about this, it is better to put all your energy into fighting the Germany people. That is beneficial to Russia! General Zhukov sees Russia heading towards destruction step by step, but there is no other way.

Fortunately, Joseph really valued General Zhukov's ability, and even under such circumstances, he did not order the dismissal of General Zhukov. If it had been anyone else, he might have been dismissed or even exiled.

In fact, Joseph is not unaware that Zhukov's suggestions are of great benefit to Russia. However, if he really gives up Moscow, can he continue to be Supreme Leader to Russia? I don't know how many people will take the opportunity to rise up against him. Therefore, Joseph dare not take this risk. He would rather put his hope in Americans. As long as United States participates in the war as scheduled, the pressure on Russia will be much less.
