"Our artillery will conduct scheduled artillery bombardment on Moscow from 3 a.m. The reconnaissance forces have explored some of Moscow's firepower points and defense priorities. As long as these areas are destroyed, the offense will be smoother."

As he said, Lundstein paused, "Now we are preparing for the shelling, the shelling will continue until five o'clock. We hope that the Air Force can launch a large-scale bombing of Moscow after the shelling is over..."

"There is no problem with this. We will do our best to provide support to you as long as the weather allows." Kesselin looked at Lundstein and others and said, "Our fighter troops will not stop supporting the ground forces in Moscow. You only need to provide coordinates and we can conduct accurate dive bombing on them."

"Fighter jet troops can also conduct comprehensive firepower cleaning in the special areas marked by ground troops." Kesselin had already gritted his teeth at Moscow.

Those damn Moscow anti-aircraft artillery units forced their bombers to do dive bombing easily. The results of dropping the bombs in a hurry can be imagined.

Now that the ground and air forces are cooperating, Kesselin believes that the Allied troops in the city are dead.

Just as the German army was planning a full-scale battle tomorrow, the Allied leaders in the city were also holding an emergency meeting. After gaining air superiority, the German army did not launch an attack immediately, which made the Allied leaders a little nervous.

"It's obvious that the Germans discovered something. They will definitely try to block our support and then launch the next battle with their newly learned combat methods..."

Tukhachevsky's face looked ugly. He wouldn't be so anxious if the German army launched an attack after gaining air superiority. But the German army actually stabilized, and seemed to have the attitude of continuing to observe the battlefield.

This made Tukhachevsky a little nervous. The obvious Germans were very patient with the upcoming battle. They were trying to choose the best time to carry out a final battle.

"No matter what their ideas are, we can only hold on..." Montgomery's face looked very bad, Hugh Dowding had told the Allied generals in the city about air support from the senior allies.

They were not surprised by the decision of the senior leaders of the allies. However, the evacuation of the air force had a certain impact on the morale in the city. If support was cut off at this time, the impact would become even more serious!

"For the time being, we cannot get more support. At present, we can only support it. This situation will be improved after the training of the new batch of pilots is completed..."

Eisenhower was also very uncomfortable. During this period, the Soviet army suffered the most heavy losses. The US army suffered a lot of losses. What is terrible is that the severe cold in Moscow blocked the US army's support route.

This has led to the huge losses of the US military that cannot be effectively supplemented, and can only be supported on the front line.

"I'm afraid we won't wait for that time..." Patton was unable to respond to the current situation. The German firepower was too advantageous.

Due to insufficient preparations in advance, the Allies had almost no choice but to use the heavy firepower of the German army. In addition to being used as air defense forces, anti-aircraft artillery is also used as ground defense forces.

A large number of anti-aircraft artillery were placed in various hidden positions to attack the attacking German infantry and tank troops.

"If our staff did not make any mistakes in deductions, then the German army will carry out large-scale bombing and artillery tomorrow morning. The subsequent ground battle will be even more difficult..."

Trotsky's face was not good-looking, but he agreed to the evacuation of Hugh, Dowding and others. He hoped that this move would be exchanged for the improvement of the Soviet Union's own air power.

The huge losses of the Soviet Air Force have always been a lingering pain in his heart. If the Soviet Union could have a good air force, it would not have been defeated by the German army.

Many defeated German troops collapsed under the crazy bombing of the German army. Many fronts also fell under the bombing of the German army.

That huge and powerful bomb was the culprit for the heavy losses of the Allies.

The power of the mace-type heavy rocket booster bomb is unforgettable for everyone who has been attacked by it. Of course, there are no living people who are directly hit.

Those who survived were the only ones who saw its power from afar. The soldiers who were directly hit had long been razed to the ground with their fortifications.

"Chirp chirp... boom boom boom..." At this moment, bursts of screams and explosions of planes came from outside the air raid shelter of the command headquarters. Countless German night fighters and bombers flew over Moscow and bombed Zhukov's transport fleet.

On the water surface, countless ships were shattered by bombardment. The entire Moscow River was directly soaked in blood and broken wood. The violent explosions occasionally detonated the ammunition carried on the ship, causing a death to explode and the entire ship to pieces.

Even if they were not directly hit by the bomb, many small boats were overturned in the huge waves caused by the bomb. The cold river water was filled with blood and people who fell into the water could be seen screaming everywhere.

"Buzz buzz...buzz buzz..." German fighter planes began to fly low and fired at the Soviet fleet and transport personnel on the river.

These fleets are not formal fleets, and they have no power to fight back when facing the German fighter jet attacks. They looked desperately at the German fighter jets that were approaching in the sky, and could only close their eyes and wait for death...

"Report! Our transport ships have been attacked by German bombers and fighters, and are now suffering heavy losses! General Zhukov asked us for assistance, and he hoped that we could send anti-aircraft artillery troops to drive away those German fighters!"

Soon, Trotsky and others who were having a meeting in the air raid shelter received the battle report. When they heard the news that their support fleet was attacked, everyone's face changed wildly.

Tukhachevsky, Eisenhower and others immediately ran out of the conference room and ran towards the staff. After receiving the battle report, Tukhachevsky immediately ordered without any hesitation.

"All anti-aircraft artillery troops will support the Moscow River immediately! Drive all the damn Germans away!!" Tukhachevsky was quite calm and continued to command: "Order all the teams to move towards the Moscow River to block possible interference and attacks by the German army!"

"Call the telegram is coming soon. General Dowding, stop transferring! Please send all night fighter models immediately. We must ensure that the fleet is supported..."

Tukhachevsky issued more than 20 commands in one breath, and these commands were sent out one by one. Moscow, which was originally silent as a beast in the dark, suddenly became alive, and countless figures ran in the night.

There were also roars at the Allied Airport outside the city, and fighter planes quickly took off under the command of the tower and flew towards the Moscow airspace.

"Bang...boom!! Dada..." A fierce conflict broke out near the Moscow River area. Countless bullets tore the tranquility of Moscow's night with light and shuttled through the piles of ruins.

The Germans and Allied forces were in the dark and fought fiercely in the night. The machine gunners on both sides received the most attention. Their fire was too obvious in the night, and almost all the firepower fired at the position of the machine gun.

"Headquarters! Headquarters! We need artillery support! We need artillery support! The coordinates are..." German officers kept calling for fire support in the rear through communicators, and those artillery that were originally scheduled to be launched in the early morning had to be activated at this time.

A large number of shells bombarded wildly at the Allied forces, while the Allied forces used light mortars to bombard the German positions.

In the dark night, both sides could not see each other's appearance. Everyone was fighting based on fire and experience. There were constant Soviet troops, and the US troops tried to detour the flanks or rears of the German army.

The German army continued to use its heavy firepower advantages to bombard the Allied positions and support troops.

"Boom boom boom...dou boom..." As the intensity of the battle continued to increase, both sides were involuntarily involved in this sudden chaos.

The German army actually never thought of starting a war in the middle of the night. They just wanted to blow up the fleet that sent support to Moscow at night. The small German troops by the river just wanted to take this opportunity to try to sneak attack the Allied anti-aircraft artillery units.

But the German army did not expect that the Allies would gather their own squads to the riverside for the fleet. In order to regain the besieged German squads, they had to transfer more troops and firepower to the riverside.

"Bang bang...boom!" The Soviet anti-aircraft artillery troops finally shot down several German bombers with the cover of the night and the advantage of quantity...

But their losses were also very serious. Because their running position was exposed, they were bombarded by the German heavy artillery troops. The anti-aircraft artillery troops who had no time to transfer their positions suffered heavy losses, and a large number of anti-aircraft artillery were destroyed while the artillery soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Hurry! Kill them! Don't give these Germans the chance to call artillery! Hurry!!" The Allies soon realized that this was the trick of the German squads. They must destroy these German squads now.

Otherwise, the losses of the Allies will continue to intensify.

"Order the anti-aircraft artillery troops to retreat immediately, and each team will transfer its positions to block the German support troops! The small teams near the river surface searched and rescued the transport team that fell into the water..."

The battle situation soon reached Tukhachevsky, and Tukhachevsky keenly discovered that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely suffer the Allies.

In desperation, he could only order the anti-aircraft artillery troops and squads to evacuate the existing positions and block the support of the German troops.

"The bombing mission is completed immediately, and the bombers return quickly. All night fighters take off immediately, part of which maintain cruise on the river surface, and the other part waits for combat orders in Moscow airspace..."

Kesselin soon discovered the problem and decisively ordered all bombers to return. The Allies would definitely not miss this opportunity to attack German bombers. Kesselin quickly adjusted the mixed formation of bombers and fighter jets to a complete formation of fighter jets.

On the one hand, the fighter jets will maintain patrol of the Moscow River, and on the other hand, the fighter jets will wait for orders to support the German ground forces at any time.

"Buzz buzz...buzz buzz..." At this moment, gunfire and the roar of the aircraft engine in the airspace on the Moscow River were heard, and Allied fighter planes arrived.

The cruised German troops immediately launched a fierce air battle with them, while the transport crews who fell into the water on the Moscow River were constantly searched and rescued by Allied soldiers, and they tried their best to rescue everyone.

However, the German army did not give them this opportunity. Countless artillery shells continued to pour on the Moscow River. The huge explosion and fire shone the entire river surface as if it were daylight.

The machine guns of the German squad kept roaring, and countless Allied soldiers were torn into broken bodies by bullets. A large number of shells fell around the river, and the Allied forces were forced to face increasing casualties.

"We must withdraw! Otherwise, our troops will completely lose their combat effectiveness until dawn!" At this time, a fierce quarrel broke out in the Allied Command.

This is the most intense quarrel that everyone has quarrel since the establishment of the command center. The reason for the quarrel is that Trotsky believes that it is meaningless to continue to save people now, and it is urgent to save the troops in his hands.

Tukhachevsky believed that no matter how big the loss was, the transport crew members who fell into the water must be rescued. Otherwise, this would make the other crew members despair.

From then on, those who can drive ships will refuse to support Moscow. Moreover, this will also cause a huge blow to the morale in the city.

"I think we should withdraw now. It is not a wise choice to expose the troops to the German firepower. They will use heavy firepower to destroy all our living forces..." Montgomery expressed his views cautiously.

"Now we have rescued the people we can save, and it will be of no benefit to us if we persist..."

"My opinion is different from yours. If we give up the rescue of the crew at this time, then they may not have given up their support to us..."

Eisenhower shook his head and said, "And the soldiers in the city will lose confidence in the future because of our decision. After all, we can give up those crew members who support us, so we may not give up on them..."

The two sides were extremely debated, and no one was willing to make concessions on this issue. Since the command center could not be unified and new orders could not be issued, the battle could only be continued to operate according to previous orders.

"The casualties have increased to more than 4,300 now. How much do you think we will lose by dawn?!" Trotsky took the General Staff to report the losses, his face turned astonishing.

"Comrade Tukhachevsky, I know you think it's wrong to give up those crew members. Of course, I admit it's wrong. But if we don't give up on them, we ourselves will be exhausted!"

"I don't think that after the severe consumption, we will have enough energy and combat effectiveness to face the German attack tomorrow!" Trotsky glanced at everyone and said, "Tuekov's support force is three days away now. If we suffer too much, we will not be able to continue to defend Moscow even if he supports it!"

"But if we don't rescue, then our only confidence in combat will be lost. At that time, we will face a more serious problem!" Tukhachevsky's face looked ugly, while Trotsky waved his hand.

"I will go to the battlefield myself tomorrow! This will definitely restore morale, right?" Trotsky's words shocked everyone and went to the position. This is dangerous!

"No! Comrade Trotsky, you can't do this! Your identity determines what problems you have on the battlefield, and our morale will be hit even more severely!" Tukhachevsky expressed his objection without hesitation.

Eisenhower and others also expressed their opposition clearly. If Trotsky appeared on the battlefield, there was no doubt that his area would definitely be attacked by the German army.

The German army would take Trotsky to capture or kill him at all costs, because this would definitely slash the confidence of the Allies and would also cause the Allies to fall into chaos for a period of time.

Even the entire Allies may fall into chaos for a period of time due to Trotsky's death or capture.

"Comrade Stalin has come to Moscow with Cuikov's troops. Even if I have any problems, I believe he can continue to fight for the Soviets and the Allies on my behalf!"

Trotsky's face showed a rare trace of perseverance, but he firmly said to Tukhachevsky and others: "Order the troops to stop searching and rescue immediately, and all the squads entered a lurking state!"

"Tell them that I will go to the battlefield tomorrow to fight side by side with them!" Trotsky suddenly stood up, pressed the table and said ruthlessly: "Even if I die in battle, we will still not fail! As long as there is a Soviet person, don't imagine being able to occupy Moscow!"

Tukhachevsky was silent. What else could he say?! He could only issue Trotsky's instructions, and he knew that this method was the best way at this time.

Trotsky will take all risks to preserve the strength of the Allied forces.
