At dusk, when the two armies were fighting in full swing, snowflakes slowly fell from the gloomy sky. At this time, it was only early October. Usually, snowflakes would only rise in Moscow until the end of October.

But this year is so abnormal, but the snow in Moscow has arrived in early October.

"It's snowing..." Trotsky breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news. It was snowing. This means that the Allies will soon get rid of the German air superiority.

Even their train cannons will be affected to a certain extent. Logistical supplies will be greatly affected in heavy snow. In short, at least for a long time, the Allies can avoid being bombed by the German army and

Fierce shelling.

"It actually snowed..." Lundstey looked at the snowflakes outside the command center, his face gloomy. It was snowing, which was bad news for the German army and good news.

The bad news is that once it snows, the German fighter planes will be difficult to take off the air to fight. Even in the future, once there is a large area of ​​snow, it is extremely dangerous for aircraft to take off the air to fight.

The artillery fire on the ground will also be affected in the ice and snow, and the snow will also affect the troops' offense. It may be roughly large-scale non-combat reductions.

These are not good news, because once it snows, it is extremely troublesome for the attacking German army.

However, snow is also good news. The German supply was affected, and the Soviet supply was also affected. At the same time, the support troops in various places, especially the support troops of the National Defense Forces with more than 300,000 people, will be forced to do so.

Slow down.

At the same time, a large number of non-combat reductions will also appear among the Allied forces. This is an extremely harsh test for the troops of both sides. Whoever can win the battle in the snow and ice will win the final victory.

"Report the weather here to Berlin and ask them to step up the supply of supplies..." Lundstey ordered the staff at all levels of the General Staff: "Air Force, artillery will attack Moscow at all costs!"

"We must completely destroy Moscow's defense before the snow forms." After a pause, Lundstey added: "Don't be idle either, help the infantry attack Moscow."

"I don't need to know the losses, nor do I need to see the casualties. What I want is Moscow!"

Bok, the commander of another army, also issued a similar order. Under such strict orders, the German army began a crazy attack on Moscow.

"Chirp...boom!boom!boom..." Whether day and night, the German bombing and shelling were like there was no end. Arbor and bombs continued to explode in Moscow.

Countless Allied forces were forced to withdraw their fortifications and enter air raid shelters to hide. The strikes suffered by the frontier forces were the worst. The Germans mobilized a large number of pak-38 anti-tank artillery and attacked the Allied positions together with tanks.

A large number of houses converted into fortifications were directly bombed into ruins on this day. At this time, Moscow became a real "city that never sleeps". There were smoke and fire everywhere, as well as the light of explosions.

The steel flames raised by the German army were grinning and trying to devour the city. The sickle of the god of death was crazily harvesting life. No matter day and night, a large number of lives disappeared directly at every moment.

Moscow's air raid shelters have been converted into a large number of field hospitals. Here are all the Allied soldiers screaming. Not far from here is the Allied General Command.

Trotsky, Eisenhower and Montgomery are now holding meetings here.

"As of an hour ago, we had lost more than 80,000 troops. Most of them were caused by fortifications destroyed by German artillery fire..." Tukhachevsky said to several people with a gloomy face.

Even Tukhachevsky himself did not expect that the battle would be so crazy and tragic. The losses on the first day were almost going to make people collapse.

The German army was attacking wildly, and the Allies were defending their lives. The German heavy firepower and armored forces posed a huge threat to the Allies, and most of the Allies were almost casualties on the German heavy artillery and armored forces.

During the infantry attacks, both sides suffered casualties and wounded each other. In general, the Allies suffered greater losses.

"...We cannot conduct a comprehensive statistics on the losses of the German army, but based on a rough estimate, we killed at least about 40,000 German troops and destroyed more than fifty tanks..."

The Soviet tanks were the earliest versions of the Tiger style. The German army was the improved Tiger style tank. Although the Soviet army later obtained a batch of improved Tiger styles from the National Welfare Army, compared with the German army.

There is still a gap.

This gap caused them to suffer huge losses in combat. Usually, Soviet tanks hit German tanks, which only caused some damage to the opponent rather than destroyed.

The German counterattack turned the Soviet tanks into scrap iron with one shot.

The US and British tanks are not much better, and they will almost become targets for German tanks when they go into battle. The most miserable thing is that the US and British have not replaced the caliber of the tanks yet, and those small-caliber tank guns are simply not enough.

It poses a threat to the German tiger style.

However, the Allied troops who discovered this problem have begun to ask the Tiger Tu for the support of the Tiger's Tiger tanks. They are improving and producing their own tanks based on the Tiger Tu provided by Tiger Tu.

.

The next batch of tanks arriving in the Soviet Union must be the new generation of main battle tanks they developed.

"This snow is a good thing for us but also a bad thing..." After finishing the report, Tukhachevsky said with a wry smile: "The heavy snow will isolate the support of the German army, and at the same time make their fighter planes unable to respond for the time being.

We bombed.”

"But at the same time, we will be affected. The support troops on the periphery are difficult to reach for a while. Especially the 300,000 Chinese troops, they originally needed about fifteen days to march. This is not at all in the snow.

Possible…”

"Heavy snow will cause our large-scale non-combat reductions. I believe the German army will also face this problem. At the same time, there will be certain obstacles in their logistics support..."

After recounting the possible impact and consequences of this heavy snow, Tukhachevsky looked at everyone and said, "But in general, this heavy snow will have more benefits than disadvantages for us."

Documents were sent to Eisenhower and others, and everyone was flipping through the General Staff Deduction Report solemnly under the light.

"This snow came too suddenly and we were caught off guard. I believe the Germans were caught off guard, too..." Montgomery looked at everyone and said, "It depends on both of us, who can gain an advantage in this weather change.

”

"As expected, the Germans will definitely launch an air strike tomorrow." Eisenhower put down the report in his hand and said, "I looked at the snow tonight. It seems that it is not very snow. So although there will be any fighter plane takeoff and landing.

It has a certain impact, but it can still be lifted off..."

"I have seen the snowfall in Moscow over the years. The snow came suddenly and the cooling was also very sudden. The German army prepared a large number of bombs to attack Moscow. They could not choose to give up using it..."

"In other words, the Germans will still choose to take off the air to fight tomorrow as long as the conditions allow... "Eisenhower looked at everyone solemnly and said: "In other words, what we are about to face will be large-scale bombing and artillery attacks by the Germans..."

"The snow volume today is really not high. As long as the fighter jets are properly handled, they can still be taken off the air..." Tukhachevsky, who has contacted the Air Force and is very familiar with the weather conditions of the Soviet Union, said in a muffled voice.

The others were silent, and everyone looked at Trotsky. The highest commander here is the Soviet chairman. At least on the surface, Eisenhower and Montgomery had to obey his command

.

"How long will it take for the other parts of the support troops to arrive?!" Trotsky suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, and Tukhachevsky replied with a moment of silence.

"According to Comrade Trotsky's instructions, Comrade Stalin and Comrade Kalinin have organized a new force. Comrade Zhukov is leading a new army of 80,000 people..."

"At the same time, the newly formed air force in the Commonwealth Canada is resting. General Dowding's leadership is taking place. The United States Allied forces have passed the Bering Strait..."

Tukhachevsky said a lot, and Eisenhower and others also supplemented the current preparations of Britain and the United States. But roughly speaking, the only newly formed legion of Zhukov can provide support to Moscow.

Even for them, the distance from the present Moscow is not short. On such a snowy day, no one dares to say when they will arrive. Moreover, even if they arrive, they will face the German encirclement.

It is not easy to break the German encirclement. Zhukov's army of only 80,000 people was not favored by these generals.

"That is to say, for a long time we will face the situation of fighting the German army alone, right?" Trotsky nodded after listening to everyone's statement.

Eisenhower and others didn't say anything. This is what they actually wanted to express. At least for more than a month, Moscow could not receive too much effective support.

If the heavy snow continues like this, the situation may be even worse.

"Then what else can I say?! Just fight!" Trotsky smiled and said, "If the Germans can beat us, can't we fight?! If they want to bomb, bomb! If they want to bomb, let them go.

They shelled!"

"Down! We can't give up on a house, a living room, a basement or even a street corner!" Trotsky's smile suddenly restrained, and a hint of cruelty appeared on his face.

"Moscow is either their tomb or our tomb!" (To be continued...)
