Marshal Rommel returned to the headquarters at 9 a. m. on June 18. When he rushed back to the 9th Army Corps headquarters, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Erich Hoeppner had already led two Armored Division and four Mechanized Infantry Division of the group army to attack. Their target will be Joseph. Whether it is capturing Joseph or killing Joseph. In short, Joseph cannot be allowed to live any longer.
This task is handed over to Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner. Marshal Rommel also believes that Lieutenant General Erich Hoppner will be able to complete this task. He was no longer worried about this.
After returning to the headquarters, Marshal Rommel summoned several other Army Group Commander from Army Group C, including Army Group Commander from the slave country. This time, German military will no longer fight the Russian army at Moscow with low intensity, but will prepare to end the battle at Moscow in the shortest possible time. Therefore, Marshal Rommel is about to issue a new combat order.
"Everyone, we originally planned to consume the effective strength of the Russian army at Moscow. In the past month, our troops have also fought very well and completed the planned combat objectives. However, unfortunately Russians has seen through our plan. They have stopped sending reinforcements to Moscow. Therefore, we no longer need to implement the previous combat plan!" Marshal Rommel said.
Commander of each army group actually knows this clearly. They also understand that when Russians no longer continues to invest manpower in Moscow, German military will naturally no longer allow the Russian army to continue to occupy Moscow. German military will destroy the Russian army here in the shortest possible time and end the war as soon as possible.
"His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order for us to increase our attack intensity and capture Moscow in the shortest possible time. Therefore, our vacation is over. From now on, each group army must send more troops to fight Moscow!" Marshal Rommel said.
All the generals laughed. The previous offensive was not violent. For German military and Puppet Troops, it seems like they are on vacation. If the troops from both sides hadn't been fighting fiercely in Moscow city, they might have really thought they were on vacation.
"Starting from tomorrow, each group army will double its size and send more troops into Moscow. I hope that we can completely capture Moscow within a month!" Marshal Rommel said.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The generals of each army group replied.
In the previous attack on Moscow, the 13 armies of German military each sent one Infantry Division to attack. The group armies of the 29 slave countries also dispatched one Infantry Division, and a total of 42 Infantry Division were fighting in the city of Moscow. Now, the military strength will be doubled, which means that the troops sent by German military and its allies to Moscow will increase to 84 Infantry Division, and the total force will be more than 1.5 million people.
Although, the troops invested by German military and its allies may still not be comparable to the Russian army in Moscow city. However, after the troops of German military and its allies have been fighting in the city for a certain period of time, they will withdraw from Moscow to rest and recuperate, and other troops will be rotated into the city to fight. The Russian army's troops did not have the opportunity to rotate. In addition, the weapons and equipment of German military and its allies are already ahead of the Russian army, and they can also receive powerful artillery and air force fire support. This will give German military and its allies an advantage in the battle in Moscow city. Even if the Russian troops in the city continue to resist, it will not be easy to resist German offensive.
"In addition, we will deploy troops to launch an attack on the eastern part of Moscow and completely encircle Moscow. The Russian army in Moscow city will no longer be able to receive material supplies. Thus, all Russian troops in Moscow city will be annihilated in one fell swoop!" Marshal Rommel then ordered.
"7th Army Corps, 16th Army Corps, 17th Army Corps and 18th Army Corps will each deploy one mechanical Infantry Division and two Infantry Division to participate in the attack. In addition, Ukraine 6th Army Corps, Hungary 7th Army Corps, Bohemia 5th Army Corps, participate in the attack and completely block the eastern defense line of Moscow. Prevent the Russian army from breaking out from there!" Marshal Rommel continued.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Commander from several armies replied.
"Very good, let's do that. God bless us, we will definitely win!" Marshal Rommel said.
"Empire will win!" everyone shouted.
In fact, after learning that German Navy defeated American Navy on Atlantic Ocean, not only the generals of German military rejoiced. The servant countries of Germany and Protectorate are even more determined. Their hearts, which had been hanging on, finally returned to their stomachs. Everyone believes that Germany will definitely win this victory over World War now that it has an absolute advantage. Under such circumstances, everyone will work harder to fight for Germany. After all, after Germany won World War, it also had great benefits for them.
Not only Marshal Rommel issued the order to launch a general attack on Moscow, but Marshal Guderian and Marshal Blomberg also issued such orders. However, Army Group B is stepping up its attack on Moscow. Army Group A also sent an army to attack the eastern part of Moscow, and together with Army Group C, they closed the siege of Moscow.
On the morning of June 19, German military's attack began. A large number of German military launched a fierce attack on the Russian positions in the east of Moscow. Although there are many Russian troops stationed in this area. However, under the fierce attack of German military's elite troops, they could not resist at all. They could only watch as German military occupied their position and closed the siege of Moscow.
German military not only closes the surround of Moscow, but also closes the surround of Yuzefgrad. German military Army Group dispatched a force and successfully crossed the river downstream of the Volga River. Then, he went upstream and captured Volgasky in one fell swoop. As a result, the Russian troops stationed at Yuzefgrad have no way to receive support through the Volga River channel.
Previously, the Russian troops stationed at Yuzefgrad could receive support from Volgaski. Both soldiers and supplies can be transported from the Volga River to Yuzefgrad. However, when Volgasky fell into the hands of German military, German military's encirclement of Volgograd was closed. The Russian army was completely surrounded by Yuzefgrad, and the only thing waiting for them was to be annihilated by German military.
