Imperial Overlord

Inside the slightly rickety underground air defense bunker in Moscow shaken by the shelling explosion, Konev and his commanders are calling for a new operation Щщш..lā

This meeting was convened according to changes in the situation and in preparation for re-drawing the operational deployment. Except for Khrushchev, who was already insane, other high-level Soviet leaders participated.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing, because almost one-fifth of Moscow was already under the control of the German army.

Don't underestimate this one-fifth, because with the passage of time, the consumption of materials and ammunition, and the collapse of fighting spirit, when there are still about two-fifths left in the urban street battle, the defenders will fall into defeat. In the collapse of a mountain.

A huge map of Moscow city defense hangs on the wall, and a Soviet commander is introducing the situation near the Kiev railway station: "The enemy is advancing towards the Kyiv railway station, very fast, we tried to stop their advance, but suffered heavy losses. ."

He pointed at the Kyiv Railway Station and the areas along the Moskva River with a pointer, and introduced: "Yesterday, we lost 17 anti-aircraft guns of various types, and lost 30 barricade defense positions..."

Seeing that Konev didn't interrupt himself, he pointed to the map, and the general who was in charge of introducing the battle took a spit and continued: "Some troops claimed to have wiped out 100 German troops, but the German attack in that direction was not delayed at all. Son……"

"These **** **** are still lying about the results of the battle at this time. Are they crazy, or are they completely stupid?" A general heard the report and said with a sneer.

"It's not necessarily a lie about the results of the battle. We lost about 1,000 people a day yesterday, and the Germans estimated that there were more than 700 losses. This data is still credible." Another general explained with a wry smile.

"Generally speaking, the defense line near the Kyiv Railway Station has not collapsed. There is no problem with sticking to it for one to two days." Having said this, the general who introduced the battle gave Konev another look.

When Konev heard this return, he could only smile helplessly in his heart: he hoped that the Kyiv Railway Station would last until next month, but unfortunately, it was only the beginning of July.

Obviously, if nothing else, it would be a miracle that the Kyiv railway station could last until mid-July.

As for whether to stick to the original plan in August, Konev knew that this was an unrealistic request.

Leaving aside everything else, Konev doesn't know now whether the ammunition stored in the city of Moscow will be consumed by the end of August...

Before being completely encircled, the completion of the rush to transport ammunition to the city of Moscow was very poor, and the amount of ammunition consumed by the front line was several times the previous estimate, so Konev's ammunition can be said to be stretched now. .

Without a sufficient amount of ammunition, let alone stick to the Kyiv railway station, the entire Moscow may become the spoils of the German army in an instant.

At this time, another general spoke: "The Germans are destroying the bridges in a planned way. They know that there is no way to take these bridges from us intact, so they are trying to destroy these bridges in advance."

"The German army destroyed the bridge, which means that we will soon be unable to supply ammunition and reinforcements to the other side of the river." Hearing the news, the general in charge of holding the Kyiv railway station said with a pale face.

He paused, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and complained to Konev: "Near the river bend, we have a total of 7 bridges, and now three of them have been destroyed by the Germans... Half an hour ago, the Germans Just destroyed a new bridge."

Just half an hour earlier, the Germans had organized a new bombing, this time blowing up another railway bridge, leaving the Soviets with one less supply line to rely on.

"No, can't we build a pontoon bridge? We can build a pontoon bridge in a relatively safe place, can't we?" An official in a suit interjected.

A general sitting next to him explained his doubts: "Building a pontoon bridge is a good solution, but we don't have the equipment needed for a pontoon bridge."

"The matter of the pontoon is still second. The ammunition of the front-line troops is the most important thing. The ammunition distribution point near the Kyiv railway station has run out of ammunition. All the ammunition must be transported from this side of the river." The general in charge of the Kyiv railway station Seeing that Konev didn't speak, he added another sentence.

"The river is transported over here? What's the joke, let the soldiers carry ammunition through the bridge that the enemy keeps blocking?" After hearing this, an official in charge of civil affairs turned pale with fright.

Another general explained: "There are a few bridges that are still safe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At least for now, they are still safe. But if our army in the Kyiv bend continues to lose positions, the bridges in these places will be It will soon be exposed to German strikes."

The general in charge of the Kyiv Railway Station had to emphasize again: "It is impossible to stop the troops from retreating. If we have the ability to hold our position, we will not be hit by the Germans in this position."

"Isn't it... Abandoning some positions, or giving up some positions in a planned way, isn't it a predetermined thing..." Another official in charge of civil affairs said sneeringly.

Another official who was sitting with him was also Khrushchev's confidant, and said coldly: "It is stipulated that it is stipulated, but the speed of giving up is so fast, do we have to surrender Red Square next month? To the Germans?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room changed, Konev had to come forward and speak.

"Enough! You will have a lot of time to quarrel when you become a German prisoner. Now what we want to talk about is how to better stick to Moscow!" He patted the table and made the meeting room quiet for a while.

"It is my order to stick to Kyiv, and it will not change in the future!" Konev looked at the civil officials who had been panicked by the battle and said, "I don't have many reserves in my hands, Moscow. There's not much time left!"

What he said was not intimidating, but telling the truth. The Soviet army's fighting situation in Moscow was not optimistic, and the rest could only depend on God's favor.

"Now, I only have less than 100,000 mobile troops. Rotation or reinforcements will consume these troops...August, up to September, this is the most optimistic time I can guarantee..." Konev estimated For a moment, he opened his mouth to give his own judgment.
