Chapter 1473: The Whole Army Attacks

Dorokhov, a small town fifty kilometers west of Moscow. It used to be the headquarters of the Russian Army's Western Front. Now, it has become the headquarters of the German Army Group B.

German Army Group B Command, Commander Marshal Guderian's office, Army Group A Commander Marshal Bromberg, Army Group C Commander Rommel, and Army Group B Commander Guderian as the master Marshal, all sit together.

The German attack on Moscow is about to begin, and the German Army is about to launch an attack on Moscow. The army's three army groups, millions of troops gathered around Moscow. The attack of these armies on Moscow requires coordination. In particular, the main purpose of the German attack on Moscow was not to capture here, but to consume the vital strength of the Russian army by means of the attack.

"Marshal Guderian, has the order of the General Staff been issued? You are in charge of our attack on Moscow this time!" Marshal Bromberg smiled.

"Yes, Marshal Bromberg. The order from the General Staff was only issued this morning. However, no matter who is in charge, our strategic goals must be achieved." Marshal Guderian said.

"Of course! The attacks on Moscow and Josephgrad are almost the last two large-scale battles against Russia. After these two battles are over, Russia will almost perish." Brome Marshal Berg said.

Marshal Guderian and Marshal Rommel nodded again and again.

"In the past few days, the air force has been launching carpet bombings on Moscow. The whole of Moscow has been bombed into ruins. The Russians in the city don't know how many casualties. However, no matter what, this is a A tragic battle. The Russians will not succumb so easily. They will definitely stick to their positions!" Marshal Guderian said.

"The Russians' fighting will is still very tenacious. It's just that their weapons and equipment are too bad, and their command is too chaotic. The combat quality of the soldiers is simply not comparable to ours. Therefore, the Russian army wants to fight with us. It is almost impossible to compete." Marshal Rommel said.

"Who told Joseph to launch a big purge in order to control the Russian army, killing so many experienced generals and officers. Otherwise, the Russian army would not be so weak." Marshal Bromberg Exclaimed.

They all believed that the Great Purge initiated by Joseph was completely an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall. Although this allowed Joseph to completely control the army of Bu Russia, it made the combat effectiveness of the Russian army continue to decline. After the outbreak of the war with Germany, it naturally tasted this evil result.

"You two, the air force's bombing will end tomorrow. So, let's start our offensive tomorrow. All the artillery is ready, and we will launch an artillery attack on Moscow from tomorrow. Then we will dispatch armored forces to quickly clear the Russians outside Moscow. Army, invade the city of Moscow, and fight in the streets!" Marshal Guderian said.

Field Marshals Bromberg and Rommel nodded.

"Although the Air Force's strategic bombers will stop bombing Moscow, the tactical aviation cluster will continue to support us. Let the troops below call for artillery support and air support as much as possible during combat. Problems that can be solved with shells and bombs , Absolutely don’t let the soldiers go all out. The battle against Russia is about to end, and we should control the casualties of the troops.” Marshal Guderian said.

"Of course. For this war, we have been preparing for so many years. There is no shortage of weapons and ammunition. There is no need for soldiers to work hard." Marshal Bromberg laughed.

"That's right! After fighting Russia, we still have to fight the United States and the island countries. There are still many battles to be fought. The lives of our soldiers are very precious. When necessary, the army of the slave country can be used to fight in the streets. Let them consume the vital strength of the Russians," said Field Marshal Rommel. Instead of wasting precious troops in Moscow, waste them on the Russian battlefield. Marshal Rommel hoped to lead an army to land in the United States and defeat the U.S. military.

Marshal Guderian and Marshal Bromberg both laughed, and they also had the same idea. Once the attack on Moscow entered street fighting, only a small number of German troops were invested in the city of Moscow. The rest of the troops were replaced by the army of the slave country. Use the army of the slave country to consume the vital strength of the Russian army.

After reaching an agreement, Marshal Bromberg and Marshal Rommel returned to their army group and communicated the combat method they had reached to the troops below.

On May 14, the large-scale German bombing of Moscow stopped. However, this does not mean that the Russian army and civilians in Moscow can take a breather. In fact, that's when the real war begins.

This morning, just before dawn, the three German army groups, 13 German armies, and 28 slave country armies assembled more than 900 210mm heavy howitzers, more than 2,500 150mm heavy howitzers, and more than 10,000 A 105mm light howitzer and more than 20,000 75mm field guns launched a fierce shelling on the Russian positions outside Moscow.

More than 30,000 cannons have been preparing for firepower for half a day. One after another, the shells hit the Russian army's position like raindrops.

Continuous explosions sounded on the Russian army's position, destroying the fortifications built by the Russian army and taking away the lives of the Russian army.

Even if the Russian army mobilized a large number of civilians to participate in the construction of Moscow's fortifications. However, due to the lack of materials, it is undoubtedly difficult for the fortifications of civil structures to withstand the fierce German shelling.

Under the heavy shelling of the German army, the Russian fortifications were destroyed bit by bit.

Faced with the fierce German shelling, the Russian artillery also launched a counterattack. The 203mm howitzer, 152mm howitzer, 122mm howitzer and 76.2mm field gun all fired back. However, regardless of the size of the artillery or the performance of the artillery, the Russian army is at a disadvantage. In the artillery battle, they can't take advantage of it at all.

At the same time, the tactical aviation cluster of the German Air Force also rushed to the battlefield and bombed the artillery positions of the Russian army, which further caused heavy losses to the Russian artillery.

After half a day of artillery battle, the artillery of the Russian army was almost completely lost. The rest of the artillery had no choice but to withdraw to Moscow to hold on.

On the afternoon of May 14, the commanders of the three German army groups gave the order to attack. The three German army groups launched a full-scale attack on Moscow from three directions.
