"Companymander, the Russians have set up a position on the corner of the street ahead. Not only anti-tank guns, but also heavy machine guns. In addition, there is an anti-tank gun. We have stopped two charges and were suppressed .” A second lieutenant toon leader reported.


    "Can you use mortars to destroy that position of the Russian army?" The captain andpanymander put down the binocrs in his hand.


    "It''s very difficult. It''s almost in a blind spot for shelling. It''s very difficult for our mortars to fire in that direction. In addition, if we move the mortars forward, they will be hit by Russian machine gun fire," the second lieutenant said. said the toon leader.


    The captain andpanymander nodded: "Pause the attack and ask for fire support from your superiors! I don''t believe it. Letting our artillery attack them with a round of fierce firepower is enough to make the Russians go away. If it doesn''t work, You can also ask the Air Force to give us air support!"


    "Yes,panymander." The second lieutenant and toon leader nodded.


    A few minutester, thepany arrived in this area.


    The German artillery position a few kilometers away from here is adjusting the elevation and azimuth of the artillery ording to the coordinates provided by the front-line troops.


    There are 12 150mm heavy howitzers on this artillery position. After the German armyunched an attack on the urban area of ????Moscow, arge number of German artillery took on the task of providing support for the infantry.


    "Fire!"


    The artillerymander gave the order to fire, and 12 150mm heavy howitzers began to fire violently. One after another, the shells roared and hit the intended target.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Explosions continued to sound, and theserge-caliber shells mmed into the Russian army''s position. Even if it is blocked by the ruins, it cannot withstand these shells falling from the sky. In other words, under the heavy shelling of the German army, even the ruins were blown up.


    The 12 150mm heavy howitzers of the German army fired a total of more than one hundred shells. Although only part of these shells fell on the Russian army''s position, it was enough to destroy the Russian army''s position.


    After the shelling ended, the Germansunched an offensive again. However, they did not encounter any obstacles at all. The Russian army on the ground had almost died under the heavy shelling of the German army.


    The German army can get fire support from its own artillery and air force in the battle to attack downtown Moscow. This allows the German army to destroy the Russian army in the city at the lowest cost.


    In this case, although the attack speed is a little slower, the ammunition is also consumed a little more. However, it can effectively control the losses of the German army. This is also in line with the Germanbat objectives. And eliminate the vital forces of the Russian army as much as possible.


    In order to stop the German attack, the Russian army had to send arge number of troops to various fronts. Evenunched counterattacks again and again. However, the powerful firepower of the German army is even stronger when defending. Let the attacking Russian army suffer heavy losses.


    In order to maintain the battle in Moscow, the Russian army had to mobilize more troops from other regions to Moscow. Only in this way can the Russian army be able to persist in Moscow.


    Using the attack on Moscow to cause heavy losses to the Russian army, and to consume the vital strength of the Russian army bit by bit was the main purpose of the German army''s attack on Moscow. And now, all this is moving in favor of the German army.


    On the evening of May 17, the sun gradually sank below the horizon. The German offensive was also temporarily halted. However, this does not mean that the day''s battle is over. The soldiers of the German army had to be prepared for the Russians to attack at night. During daytime battles, the German army could get support from its own powerful artillery and air force, and the Russian army could not resist it at all. At night, the German Air Force''s fighter nes could not be dispatched, and the uracy of the artillery''s hits was also greatly restricted. This is undoubtedly more beneficial to the Russian army. Therefore, the Russian army oftenunches night raids at night to seize positions lost during the day.


    Of course, the actions of the Russian army may be sessful, but their own losses will also be great. This caused the Russian army''s vital strength to be further lost.


    At the same time, at the headquarters of the German army group B, themanders of the armies of the protectorate countries and ve countries under the jurisdiction of the group B gathered here.


    Soon, Marshal Guderian appeared in the meeting room.


    "Good evening, all generals!" Marshal Guderian smiled. Because the current battle situation is very favorable to the German army, Marshal Guderian is also in a very good mood.


    "Your Excellency Marshal, good evening!" All the generals said one after another.


    After a short greeting, the conversation came to the point.


    "Everyone, our army''s attack on Moscow has been going on for several days. Even the attack on the downtown area of ??Moscow has been going on for three days. In these three days, our army has sessfully They have gained a firm foothold. Moreover, they have caused great losses to the Russian army. However, the resistance of the Russian army in Moscow is still very tenacious. They even continue tounch counterattacks at night. It has also caused considerable losses to our army Yes. So, I hope that in the next battle, we can draw troops from various units to participate in the attack on Moscow!" Marshal Guderian said.


    Once the attack situation has stabilized, the troops of the ve countries will be sent to the battlefield to rece the German army. Use these servants to consume the vital strength of the Russian army.


    This was originally a n that the German army had drawn up. Now, the German army has basicallypleted the scheduled goal. Then, naturally, it was time for these servants to go to the battlefield.


    The armymanders of the various servant armies have also known this for a long time. They also know the brutality of street fighting. It is impossible for the German army to fight tough street battles by themselves, and let them, these servants, watch the fun outside. Therefore, they have already made preparations.


    Everyone is very clear that, as the protectorate and servant country of Germany, in such a big war, they must contribute their own strength. Otherwise, why would Germany protect their safety and allow them to mobilize so many troops?


    "Your Excellency Marshal, our troops are ready to go to the battlefield at any time!" Lieutenant General Saker,mander of the Polish 1st Army, replied.


    Themanders of more than a dozen other servant army groups have expressed their views that they can send troops to the battlefield.


    "Very well, from tomorrow onwards, the armies will deploy troops to fight in Moscow!" Marshal Guderian said.


    Army Group A and Army Group C of the German Army are also holding such meetings. Beginning on May 18, the armies of many ve countries of Germany began to enter Moscow to fight.
