Stalin was determined that he would not leave Moscow, he would live and die with Moscow. If Moscow was defeated, then his life would no longer be meaningful to Stalin.

Stalin was quite determined.

"Comrade Stalin, we have received good news. At the Gromov Test Flight Institute, the plan to use alcohol to replace gasoline has been completed. Now nearby wineries are stepping up the production of this fuel alcohol, and our fighter jets can all take off." At this moment, Stalin received a news that made him happy.

As long as the air power is still there, the defense battle in Moscow will be even smoother. The battles of our own ground troops will often cause heavy losses to our own side because of the enemy's air superiority.

Now as long as the Air Force can recover, the German offensive can be delayed.

"Let the Gromov Test Flight Institute move to the rear immediately." Stalin said: "Beria, you are responsible for it. We are about to carry out the great Moscow defense battle. Our precious technicians, industry, and college students must complete the migration to the rear as soon as possible. Ordinary Moscow citizens will form them together and join the militia."

Some people needed to retreat, and these retreated were technologies and industries that maintained the development of the Soviet Union, etc. Ordinary citizens, like soldiers, had to defend Moscow.

Now that the civilians have entered a state of war, even if they do not obey orders and take the initiative to retreat, they will be arrested and shot.

Everyone must fight to defend Moscow!

"Yes." Beria nodded. Now, Moscow's retreat is still in progress in an orderly manner. Except for the college students' retreat, everything else can be completed in the plan.

When Stalin was setting up, Zhukov was still commanding the battle on the front line, and phone calls came in one by one, and Zhukov was very busy.

While busy, Zhukov took time to say to Stalin: "Now, our north is very strange."

The German army in the north was originally the closest to Moscow. After capturing Kalinin, the German army should have continued to advance to the south, but now, they have no movement again.

What did the Germans want to do? Are they planning to advance together by several legions? Or are there any other conspiracy? Zhukov was a little uneasy, after all, he had too few reserve teams on hand.

Stalin turned his head, looked at the map, and pondered, he knew Zhukov's concerns.

"Comrade Stalin, General Zhukov, is not good." At this moment, an adjutant hurried in and said, "Our investigation found that the German Northern Legion, after occupying Kalinin, did not continue to attack south. They, they went towards the east!"

The German Northern Army, who was so close to Moscow, was moving eastward without fighting? When he heard the news, Zhukov, Stalin and others' faces changed.

Sure enough, it was the same as they had been worried about.

The Germans not only want to win the battle in Moscow, but also want to win beauty. The Germans want to block their own way out!

Germany has been preparing for this Moscow battle for a long time. They want to win beauty and encircle and annihilate it like before!

What's even more terrifying is that this of course hit the weak point of the Soviet Union. In order to deal with Germany's huge offensive team, Moscow did not let go of a nearby third-line troops and sent them to the front line. In the rear, the troops were indeed empty. Once the Germans seized the way for the retreat, the encirclement war that had already occurred many times on the Soviet land would happen again!

The winding Volga River converges into the Ivankov Reservoir downstream of Kalinin. This reservoir grows in strips and is distributed east and west. In the east of the reservoir, it is Dubna. If we look at it from a direction, it should be the north of Moscow, but due to the German offensive route, it is considered the absolute rear.

Therefore, there was only one infantry battalion in the entire Dubna. When the German tank troops were discovered, the Soviet soldiers of the infantry battalion resisted tenaciously. In just half an hour, they were completely wiped out. The tracks of the tanks crushed their bodies and entered the city of Dubna. On the city's government site, the flags of the sickle and hammer were lowered and the flags of the Third Reich were raised.

The residents of the small town were silent, listening to the group after group of German soldiers outside, their eyes were filled with tears.

After leaving a unit to garrison Dubna, the powerful tank troops rushed towards Alessandrov, southeast of Dubna.

If you look at it from the map, you can know that Dubna and Alessandrov are not big cities, but they are all on the railway line. The vast Soviet Union is the main transportation situation. After controlling the railway hub, they can successfully cut off Moscow's support.

At this time, the Northern Legion had gone deeper alone, but they were not afraid, because the rear of the Soviets was too empty. The Soviets made similar mistakes again and again, but they had never made up for this mistake.

It’s not that they don’t want to make up for it, but because they don’t have the ability, because they lack military strength.

For example, now, when he learned that the German Northern Legion was rushing towards his own back, Zhukov suddenly realized that he could not find a strong enough force to fight back!

The reinforcements must be strong enough to deal with the entire Northern Legion. If they go to less, they will only be eaten by the Germans in one bite. They rushed over and were exhausted, and when they were ambushed and killed by the Germans along the way.

But where can I find this powerful enough force?

The Germans once again proved their strength with their superb tactics. Moscow is already in turmoil and is about to fall.

And just as everyone focused on the north, when the Germans might have gone around the semicircular Moscow line and headed towards the rear of Moscow to close the door and fight the dog, no one noticed that in the southern part of Moscow, a battle had begun.

Since the German army wants to use its previous encirclement tactics, of course, it will not only start from the north. When the northern army has begun to detour to the rear of Moscow, the southern army will also detour to the east of Moscow and finally achieve a successful encirclement!

Germany has this strength because the Central Army's southward troops and the South Army that completed the Battle of Kiev have all entered.
Chapter completed!
