Finally, after Stalin’s words were silent, vatutin asked slowly and carefully, "So, the great leader Comrade Stalin originally planned to hold a military parade today, will it be cancelled or continued?"
Stalin is used to swearing, but his mind is full of thoughts about whether the military parade will continue or be forced to cancel. After careful consideration, he really doesn’t know whether he and the troops under review will disperse to the defense facilities or continue to insist on the military parade if the defense alarm suddenly rings during the military parade.
So he can ask vatutin for an opinion. "Comrade General, what’s your opinion? Do we give up this military parade plan or insist on continuing to complete it? "
"I suggest that … it’s better to postpone it until tomorrow … Great leader Comrade Stalin, after all, this military parade is to show the world that if a German bomb falls, it will be bad for us after all." vatutin answered this question immediately without much thought. After all, this question is not such a trivial matter as mobilizing troops and making a major decision to postpone an activity. General vatutin is still willing to show his intelligence.
So Stalin nodded his head over there and agreed to vatutin’s suggestion. He also knew that it was humiliating to postpone it for one day, but it was much better than being stirred up by the Germans. "I support your opinion! Then according to your idea, let the parade troops withdraw from the standby block and stand by in the original barracks! "
"yes! Great leader Comrade Stalin! " Vatutin put his words in his hand and arrested again. "Get me the parade headquarters … I’m vatutin! Today’s military parade is officially cancelled! You return to your barracks immediately! Yes! This is that ord of the great leader comrade Stalin! I’ll send you the command file later! Execute it immediately! "
Command after finished this document vatutin breath a sigh of relief looked at the side of the wall put a huge clock surface is three minutes short of the whole he gave a wry smile and then shook his head and called his secret "to strengthen the alert! Maybe the Germans … "
Before he could command his own command, the shrill alarm was sounded. As soon as he lost his mind, an anti-army officer rushed into his office and reported to him what had just happened. "Comrade General! Radar! The radar found a large number of planes! Not that we are Germans! "
He is a little incoherent, but these are nothing compared with his face, because he has just heard a surprising word, which was used to lead a German plane in this invasion of Moscow-"I have never seen so many!"
I have never seen so many Americans helping to set up a radar operation room. Several Soviet radar soldiers looked at the screen in a mess, and the trembling lines just broke down. It was not until the front-line naked eye observation post called that they realized that their equipment was not broken, but that the Germans had dispatched too many planes.
Fw19d fighters were hung with as many small bombs as possible, which were required to attack as many targets as possible in Moscow. Then more than three Stuka and Stuka-2 attack aircraft were dispatched and ordered to suppress the fragile Moscow fire resistance; More is a full five d217 bombers, which are not long but have very good performance. The medium-range bombers are responsible for destroying the whole of Moscow and carrying a large number of high-explosive bombs.
The main reason for carrying a small amount of incendiary bombs is that the military intelligence department analyzed the possible effect of directly dropping incendiary bombs on a large number of masonry buildings in Moscow because of its cold protection function. Generally, our army decided to explore the road with high-explosive bombs first, and by the way, try to see what the anti-strike ability of Moscow buildings is like.
Who would have thought that the Germans were so extravagant that two fighter planes hung bombs as attack planes that they dispatched more than 11 sorties in one breath, carrying out the largest HTC bombing attack on Moscow in the history of the battle?
At exactly the same time, 21 mm howitzers were placed behind the German positions to make the first roar. Three of these towed giant guns threw their heavy shells 25 kilometers away. These guns were designed to make up for the railway artillery force density. Although they may hit the center of Moscow, they can hit the urban area and give the Soviet Union some shock.
Vatutin was shocked by the news he got. As soon as he sat down in his own defense headquarters, he heard the news that the Germans bombed the western city. Then some observation posts came to report that they had just been shelled by the enemy.
Words are a mess. Everything seems to ring Rinrin, so that vatutin can deal with these calls and questions separately. Almost everyone isno. He snubbed big shots, including the mayor and government officials. They all confirmed one thing: where did the German shelling come from?
Stalin’s words were picked up by vatutin. This telephone is a communication means to connect this headquarters with Stalin’s bunker. If this word rings, vatutin must answer "Comrade Stalin, the great leader! I am vatutin! "
"damn it! Some people say that the explosion in some urban areas was not from German bombing but from German shelling! What the hell is going on here? How many kilometers is the enemy from Moscow? Their 15 howitzers are close to Moscow! " In Stalin’s words, getting angry from embarrassment, bombing and shelling are really two different things for Moscow.
Vatutin is not stupid. Of course, he knows that the German army is one kilometer away from the troops in Moscow city recently, but he also knows that the bombardment of Moscow city is not those with very limited range. At least 15 mm caliber howitzers should be 21 mm caliber heavy artillery
So he quickly comforted Stalin and said, "Comrade Great Leader, I assure you that those guns are not German 15 mm towed guns! Their range is definitely not that far … I suspect that the Germans used 21 mm heavy artillery when they attacked Stalingrad. "
"I don’t care what weapons can hit Moscow! Now the enemy is shelling our capital! General vatutin! Do something for me! " Stalin relaxed a little when he heard that he was not cheated, but being attacked by artillery really affected people’s mood. Less will affect the mood of all senior officials in Moscow-the enemy is really close enough to them!
The Germans didn’t intend to let Moscow go. Although the buildings were very strong, the German bombers dropped hundreds of tons of bombs all over the sky, but they still played a role. A large number of houses were hit, collapsed, exploded, and scattered debris all over the streets … There were giant craters everywhere. Moscow finally experienced the biggest catastrophe in the war.
Then even more terrible, the K-type railway gun fired a 2 mm large-caliber shell and landed near the Red Square. One of these huge shells directly penetrated a section of the towering Kremlin spire, and the building collapsed, and then the shell exploded nearby, and all the windows peeled off and shattered in the vibration.
The Soviet soldiers kept public order in the urban area, and looked up at their heads by the sandbags piled up at the entrance of the defense tunnel. They watched the beautiful German planes fly over the building and threw bombs at them to defend the city to the death.
"The Germans do everything to the Soviet Union! I want to give it back to the Germans ten times, not a hundred times! I’m going to put that arcado in the basement! Waiting for our troops to cut his head! " Stalin’s bunker listened to the explosion on the top of his head and felt the vibration of all objects around him, cursing
I’m sorry that Longling came back a little late for the Lantern Festival today, but it’s even more important. Chapter 4 Longling will gradually make up for it for everyone!
Chapter 121 122 Last time I saw it
"Bomb!" The commander of a d217 bomber, more than 7 meters high, reached the bombing order, and one German bomber after another had already opened the bomb bay and threw the bomb in the bomb bay to the ground.
The idea of installing a whistle on the bomb surface must be a master of psychology. It took a small whistle to achieve the goal of not being killed by the bomb, which caused dozens of psychological injuries to the enemy.
Whistling all over the sky made Soviet soldiers who could hear this sound almost collapse. With the dull explosion of knocking on the ground, the earth trembled from all parts of the body. Everything here tested people’s beliefs and destroyed people’s will.
After all, these guns have not been added to Stalin for a long time, making up for the loss of the army and pushing most of his resources to the tank production. The fire protection in his hands is not as dense as people think.
However, today, due to the fact that there are too many German planes, the anti-aircraft guns still shot down several German planes. A soldier with an anti-concealment observation post pointed his telescope at the distant sky, where a German d217 bomber was dragging a long smoke from the high sky.
Unfortunately, the fall of several planes did not stop the Germans from throwing more bombs into Moscow. An aerobomb exploded in the streets of Moscow, and shrapnel flew across the shop floor-to-ceiling windows, igniting the curtains and pendants behind the windows, and even the thick doors of the hotel were punched through several ferocious holes.
There is only one person here. After all, Moscow has a subway and proper bunker protection facilities. Good infrastructure has made the whole city have a high level of anti-attack. However, although the loss of people is not great, the buildings can’t hide in the ground. These old and strong buildings were destroyed in the explosion.
"Hit the target! The first bombs have hit the target! " Flying over the target first, followed by confirming the results. The observation equipment in the plane looked at the collapsed burning houses. The German soldiers confirmed the results of their troops in the big line. They had professional camera equipment to confirm the degree of destruction of the target.
"Hey, I said that the place where we just flew was the Kremlin? I saw the golden spire and it was surrounded by a sea of fire. "A German pilot asked the co-pilot around him," Did you just see it? "
"I just saw it. I’m not sure if our bomb really hit the Kremlin … but I’m sure the building is completely finished." The co-pilot replied with some excitement. "My God, we can finally kill that hateful Stalin …"
"Goodbye Moscow … I think I am the last person to see this city." A German pilot who bombed London said what he once said in London. "This city is really finished."
It is uncertain whether Moscow will really disappear from the earth, but it is certain that most buildings in this city have been bombed and how much the waves have reached Apollo. It depends on the luck of these buildings. If they are lucky, they may fall a little dust, but if they are unlucky, they may collapse completely.
German bombers can’t continue bombing for too long, because after all, medium bombers have limited bombs and pilots are extremely precious, so they are not in line with the German style. After dropping the bombs they carry, these German bombers changed their direction and left Moscow.
However, in such a large-scale bombing attack, most Soviet Union pilots didn’t even have the courage to raise the interception battle. It was pitiful that 12 Soviet Union p4 planes took off in an emergency and entered the battlefield. Unfortunately, these 12 fighters were eaten by the escort German fighter forces before they lasted for 5 minutes.
The gap between the fighters of the two sides is so huge that even if the pilots of the Soviet Red Army fighters have enough horsepower, they can fly their fighters to the speed of the German fighters. On the other hand, the quality difference between the pilots of the two sides is so great that they don’t even have the ability to fight.
In the Great Patriotic War of one year, Soviet pilots faced nearly 10,000 German pilots who were not afraid to sacrifice their planes to upgrade to German planes. Unfortunately, these heroic pilots could not save their own lives because of their inferior equipment.
In modern warfare, it is necessary for the army to fight to the death to cover the movement transfer of ground troops; Defending our own important transportation hubs and cities need military forces to fight to the death; Reducing the loss of ground defense forces and counterattacking enemy ground forces also requires the number of desperate battles of military forces. Soviet pilots can be forced to take off again and again, but the result is that they have saved the ground forces but lost more.
Now the Soviet Union finally wants them to limit their consumption of pilot methods and pay the due price. They lack a large number of pilots. Even though the gap between them and the Germans is gradually narrowing, the record of both sides is gradually increasing.
Compared with training a car driver and an infantryman who can kill with rifles, it takes a lot of time and money to train a military pilot. This is far from being realized in Asia, and the replenishment period after the loss of their fighter pilots is so long that the camp is desperate. If Shan Fifty-six had to choose, he would rather sink two of his fleet carriers than lose three precious fighter pilots.
Looking out the window, the German bombers just climbed out of their headquarters, and General vatutin felt a little tearful. He felt that his elaborate defensive position was worthless before the German military attacked the powerful destructive force.
German Stuka bomber’s suburban bombing destroyed 13 of the two Moscow anti-aircraft gun defense positions and completely destroyed 4 of them. Just now, he got the news that the loss was so great, and behind it was the pitiful record of shooting down 21 enemy planes.
Vatutin gave a wry smile and then called his assistant to "put all front-line troops on alert immediately. The Germans may launch a ground offensive immediately after bombing to ensure that the front-line positions will not be easily broken by the enemy!"
His assistant stood at attention and saluted without answering, and hurried out of the headquarters. There was also a huge crater outside the window, and the wind poured into the house from the broken glass window, blowing the wall map and the house.
The bombing was so amazing in vatutin just now that I remembered to ask about the front-line defense. Fire trucks poured out from all directions because there were fires everywhere. These firefighters and women and children who helped them could put out the fire from the starting point.
There are rubble and rubble everywhere, and many fire engines have been rushed to the scheduled location because of the damaged roads. Except for the relatively smooth and important Red Square, the whole of Moscow seems to be in despair and chaos. People realize for the first time that the war is so close to here that they will face death at any time.
"Rinrin bell" rang. vatutin grabbed the dusty desk and said, "I’m vatutin."
Stalin’s voice came over there. "Comrade General, the Kremlin was hit. Seven guards on duty and three attendants died in the military parade. I also hung a celebration flag here, but now it has become a burning flame."
You can still hear the sound of German shelling outside the window. Most of these sounds are in the western part of Moscow. Although it is far from vatutin, you can still hear the dull noise clearly.
So Watujingkou advised Stalin to be lonely by himself. "Comrade Stalin, the great leader … the German shelling continues. I hope you can pay attention to yourself … I will rush to meet you at noon."
"Ok, I’ll wait for you!" Stalin replied, "So, Comrade General, do you think our military parade plan should continue? Or is it better to cancel it? "
What time is it? Are you still thinking about your ridiculous military parade? Vatutin suppressed his anger and disdain and replied, "Great leader Comrade Stalin, unless you want the world to see Moscow like this, I think it’s better to cancel the military parade. The Germans can not only bomb it with bombers, but also bombard it with artillery. It’s obviously uncomfortable to hold the military parade."
Stalin was silent for a long time and then hung up without saying anything. Obviously, he may be in a very bad mood, perhaps because the Germans shelled Moscow, or because the military parade was forced to cancel, but who knows?
Today, Longling will make up a less chapter, so please look forward to it ~
Chapter 122 123 Artillery trace
"What the hell are we bombarding? God bless Moscow. Is it going to be destroyed like Stalingrad? " A soldier in charge of hoisting artillery shells chatted in an ammunition box and complained to his colleagues around him that although the weather was not so hot, he had already stripped down to a vest.
Another soldier was sweating profusely. After all, it was very difficult to equip the Germans with a 21-mm howitzer to fill a shell. They had to specially prepare a shell pliers for four people to assemble and fill a shell. It was very boring and, to put it bluntly, it was the same as the brick-moving workers in the streets and lanes, but compared with them, their place was very safe. Even this kind of work was a manual grab in the army.
Frankly speaking, German artillery design has not reached the forefront of the world. On the contrary, they are still very backward. In the field of large-caliber artillery design, Germany has stagnated for too many years because of their experience, and a large part of it also comes from the design of World War I.
However, after all, this is a weapon. When its weapon performance is excellent enough, the poor performance of one or a small number of weapons is covered up to make do with it, so that there is no problem at all. When Krupp produced this caliber gun, it was not too entangled because of its range or other performance indicators.
They were ordered to produce as many large caliber guns as possible in as little time as possible to make up for the embarrassing situation of insufficient firepower of heavy guns on the German front, because more and more fierce battles broke out on the eastern front. Comparatively speaking, the German team was not suitable for this difficult battle
Most German generals have not yet fully understood what the Soviet Union’s attitude of fighting for every inch of land is. They insisted on the war until the last moment after imagining that their hometown was burnt to the ground.
