Imperial Overlord

"The troops heading south will just collide with the German troops interspersed with Kaluga. It's another tank-to-tank battle. Can you afford to lose the 2nd Guards Tank Division as well?" Rokoso Fsky said.

He was originally in charge of the defense outside the city, but this time he passed by here to send the defense plan outside the city to his colleague Konev.

But he really doesn't want to watch an elite army lose it in unnecessary places for no reason. They are all precious and should be used at a reasonable time and place.

For Moscow, Kaluga is far from a place that must be fought, and it can be given over to the Germans after a deadly battle.

Hearing Rokosovsky say this, Khrushchev's face was not very good-looking. He reported to Stalin about the defense of Moscow every day.

If tomorrow, he wants to report the news that Kaluga was captured by the Germans, then Stalin will definitely not give him a good look.

This is the reason why people have different positions on issues when they are in different positions. Khrushchev was engaged in political work, so his first thought was Stalin's attitude.

And Rokossovsky is a soldier. He thinks about whether the battle can be won or not, and how to invest his own forces in the most suitable situation.

"The great leader Comrade Stalin will not agree, let me give up Kaluga casually!" Khrushchev looked at Rokossovsky and said this.

Rokossovsky nodded and said, "If you want to have a better life these days, let the 2nd Guards Tank Division go out."

"If you want to hold Moscow for a longer time, let the 2nd Tank Division continue to stand by at its current position..." After speaking, Rokossovsky saluted and turned away from Khrushche. husband's office.

Khrushchev watched the other party go out of his office, nodded depressedly, then grabbed the phone in front of him, wanted to call the 2nd Tank Division, and ordered: "The order is cancelled, don't go to Kalu. add……"

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and looked at the densely intertwined defense lines marked on the map, wondering what he was thinking.

German troops have advanced to Kaluga from the south, while the northern line of defense is still far away, and there is no threat to the north of Moscow...

On the current topographic map, the German armor seems to have formed a salient directly below Moscow, which is not very safe.

If he had enough troops at this time, he could counterattack from both flanks of the German forces and encircle the German vanguard attacking Kaluga.

It is a pity that he really has no troops that can counterattack, and there are not many troops that can defend the line of defense.

Too many untrained infantry are giving their lives to hinder the German armored forces - they are fighting with their own flesh and blood, and have nothing to rely on.

Every Soviet soldier on the front line, unless he was the main force, had a supply of only 5 rounds a day.

Many were using World War I-era rifles, and many were using weapons they brought from home.

Shotguns have become a frequent visitor on the battlefield. It is already an extraordinary performance of courage for such troops to be able to fight against well-armed German troops.

"Ring, bell, bell!" The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Khrushchev's wandering. He grabbed the phone and heard the operator's voice over there: "The shelling can be heard on the outskirts of Moscow... The great leader, Comrade Stalin, called to inquire about the situation."

"I see! Transfer it over here!" Khrushchev heard the call, and quickly said respectfully: "Comrade Stalin, the great leader, I didn't hear the cannon, yes! I really didn't hear it!"

"There is no voice over there, it doesn't mean there is no voice! Go to the suburbs to investigate! Are the Germans so close to Moscow?" Stalin's voice was full of exhaustion on the phone.

Khrushchev hurriedly promised: "I'll go over there and see the situation over there with my own eyes! Please rest assured, the main lines of defense are still in our hands!"

"Come on, I want the most accurate information! About the Germans' distance from Moscow! Understand?" Stalin's hoarse voice came through the phone line, still majestic.

Putting down the phone in his hand, Khrushchev had to quickly put on his jacket and instructed the captain of the guard: "Prepare the car and go to the western suburbs!"

The western suburbs of Moscow are now the closest place to the German forward positions. If there was shelling, 80% of it would have happened there.

Soon, walking through the corridor full of scattered documents, Khrushchev got into the car that was already waiting at the door.

Then, amid the crowd of refugees and mobilized soldiers, the car slowly drove west of the city.

"Boom!" Sure enough, before they got there, they heard the sound of shells exploding. In the distance, thick smoke can be seen burning, and it is clear that the war is close at hand.

"Damn Hitler!" Khrushchev cursed with his hands on his knees in the car.

He was ordered to defend Moscow, and now the enemy is less than 30 kilometers away from Moscow...

Even a howitzer with a slightly larger caliber can now hit a distance of about 15 kilometers, which is already considered the suburbs of Moscow.

What's more, it won't be long before the German army can break through to a place 20 kilometers away from Moscow, which will make it easier to bombard Moscow~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If the Germans are more ruthless, they can mobilize large-caliber train guns now. , an almost cost-free artillery strike on downtown Moscow.

"Sir, the front is being bombarded by the Germans. It's very dangerous!" On the road, next to a barricade, the Soviet guards guarding here blocked the way of Khrushchev's car.

After all, he was being attacked by the Germans in the distance, and he was obliged to remind his superiors that it was very dangerous there.

Yes, it is very dangerous just to hear the sound. There are very few civilians here, but many tents used by the troops are still in place.

These tents were recruited on a temporary basis, and they were not allowed to be taken away after the troops were dispatched. Left to be used by newly recruited soldiers who fill up later.

Now the place is still overcrowded, and many young soldiers are looking at the luxury cars on the road with curious eyes.

After all, very few big people really came to see them, and very few big people appeared in front of them at such a dangerous time.
