Imperial Overlord

"What did you say? Comrade Stalin was attacked by air in Vladimir?" Khrushchev frowned, listening to the latest news from his adjutant.

Hearing this news, Khrushchev felt as uncomfortable as eating flies. He had just sent Stalin away and gained command of the troops near Moscow, and such a thing happened...

If Stalin really pursued it, he might have to be implicated again because of this **** thing.

Think about the more painful aspects, if Stalin came back, came back to Moscow, wouldn't he be subservient again?

Khrushchev has never been a person willing to submit to others. Stalin's strength forced him to submit, but that was not the state he wanted.

Now Stalin has finally left, leaving an almost impossible Moscow to Khrushchev's command, which makes him like a new life.

But if Stalin came back, then Khrushchev would have to follow orders again. Even more frightening is that this time Stalin came back with anger and suspicion.

"Is Comrade Stalin coming back?" he asked helplessly, looking at his adjutant.

The adjutant swayed and replied: "The news from Vladimir, Comrade Stalin insisted to leave there, the specific whereabouts are no longer reported to us."

This is a naked attitude of distrust. If Stalin has always distrusted the officials left behind in Moscow, then things will be a little difficult.

Even if the war is won, the problem of clearing up this bombing in the future will be enough for Khrushchev and other relevant officials to drink a pot.

"I see..." After Khrushchev said this depressedly, he stopped talking about this topic.

Now that Stalin has decided to leave Vladimir, it means that he will not return to Moscow.

Khrushchev thought very simply, even if Stalin wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, he would have to wait until after the autumn, right?

The current German troops have no intention of leaving any chance for Khrushchev, they are storming Moscow.

German artillery shells can now easily land in the city of Moscow, the streets are now likely to be bombarded, and the entire western part of the city has become a battlefield.

"Don't worry about the rest, let's talk about the line of defense! I want to hear the result of our counterattack last night, I need it now!" Khrushchev looked at the other party and asked about the topic he was most interested in.

The adjutant took one out of the stack of documents in his hand and handed it to Khrushchev: "Our loss report probably killed more than 700 soldiers!"

This loss is already huge. If 700 people are lost every day, it means that they will scrap a regiment of troops in one night.

A division can last for 3 days, and an army with 10 divisions can only last for a month...

Although after careful calculation, Khrushchev did not feel that he had lost much, and he even felt that it was very good.

According to this figure, as long as he takes out 200,000 people, he can last for about 6 months. Even with the collapse of 600,000 people, he can still consume it.

Using a loss of 600,000 to ensure that Moscow can hold on until November in winter is simply the result that Khrushchev can wake up from a dream.

However, this is not a simple numbers game - this is only the loss of the night counterattack, and does not include the loss of troops holding their positions during the day, and the total number of troops defeated by the Germans.

In fact, in the two days that Germany attacked Moscow, almost 20,000 Soviet troops had been crushed, and more than 30,000 others had been incapacitated.

In this way, Khrushchev's situation becomes less optimistic: his army of one million is only enough to lose 100 days, and Moscow will change hands in August.

"How many positions have been recaptured?" Khrushchev rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and asked.

The adjutant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied with a slap in the face: "The Germans repelled our attack, and we were not able to retake the construction areas in the suburbs."

This answer made Khrushchev even more depressed - his counterattack the day before yesterday also recaptured some building areas, but now his counterattack is no longer effective.

"When will the 2nd Guards Tank Division on the Ryazan side and the combat troops under Rokossovsky start to counterattack?" Khrushchev could only pin his hopes on the counterattack of the flank troops.

This is the back-up that the Soviet army prepared for itself in the battle of defense in Moscow. The Rokossovsky cluster has 100,000 elite troops and more than 1,000 tanks, which are enough to counterattack the German flank.

As soon as his counterattack begins ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the German flank is under pressure and has to be divided to rescue, and the attack in the direction of Moscow will cease.

If his counterattack was successful, the Germans might even be forced to abandon their positions near Moscow and retreat in the direction of Smolensk.

Once this strategic goal was accomplished, Germany's operational plan to occupy Moscow was a complete failure.

"They are organizing troops and waiting for the weather to deteriorate." The adjutant looked at the report sent by Rokossovsky and replied.

Because there is no air superiority, the Soviet flank attack can only be launched in dark clouds or rainy weather.

So what Rokossovsky was waiting for was bad weather. On clear skies, the German air force was too powerful to be a mortal threat to Soviet armor.

"The idiots of the Air Force! I really want to shoot a few commanders, so that they can seriously think about the price of being a coward!" When Khrushchev heard the word bad weather, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

The Air Force no longer dares to attack, and what is even more pitiful is that they cannot even establish a complete air defense system.

Although the Soviet Union is also actively investing in the development and production of radar, and has also asked the United States for radar technology and equipment, they really have not been able to set up an effective radar air defense network.

In fact, even Li Le, the head of state who attaches great importance to radar, has not been able to make Germany's radar cover the entire Third Reich.

The Soviet Union was even worse in this regard. Not only did they not have radar to guide ground planes, they also did not have advanced fighter jets to compete with the Luftwaffe for air supremacy.

Anyway, over the Soviet-German battlefield in 1941, only the German Air Force was visible, and it was rare to see the fighter jets of the Soviet Air Force taking off.
