Imperial Overlord

"The attack failed again! The German defense line resisted our attack. This is not a simple line of defense. It proves that the enemy is definitely prepared." Rokossovsky's front line command, the staff officer said with a sad face .

Now the Germans' frontal line of defense is too strong. The 3rd Guards Tank Division and the 2nd Guards Tank Division have suffered heavy losses, and they still have not been able to break through the enemy's line of defense.

"The problem now is that the clouds may become thin at any time, and then we will face the German counterattack." The chief of staff said depressedly.

It wasn't just the German air force that he worried about, because after all, even if the air force attack was very tyrannical, they could force a retreat despite losses.

But the German army has been defending all the time, and there is no sign of reinforcements or large-scale mobilization. It seems a bit strange that this kind of thing happened to the rapidly mobilizing German army.

Rokossovsky is not a mediocrity, he is also a famous general in real history, so it is not easy for him to ignore some details.

As a commander, his intuition is still very keen. If the Germans do not reinforce their own defense lines or consolidate their defense lines, they must be hoarding their own troops somewhere!

The hoarding of troops is not for defense, it is only for the purpose of offense. So Rokossovsky has been worrying about whether his counterattack will reveal any flaws.

"The German army on the flank has no reinforcements or any intention to share the pressure of the attack, which is very abnormal." Rokossovsky looked at the map and said to his officers.

He pointed to several important areas on the map, and said his thoughts: "The Germans are brewing a counterattack, just in these areas."

Although the troops in his hand were insufficient, he still had insight into Guderian's counterattack plan. The 1st Cavalry Division of the German Group G and the counterattack of the 3rd Armored Division were in one of the sections he drew.

But guessing it does not mean that it can be stopped. The Soviet army has not many reserves, and can't have the strength to build a solid line of defense.

"General, if the German army is organizing a counterattack, then the best way for us now is to retreat." The chief of staff said anxiously.

In Chen Yutian's counterattack, the Soviet army destroyed 15 German Panther tanks, as well as 7 No. 3 and 9 No. 4 tanks, which can be regarded as a brilliant victory.

Unfortunately, compared with their own losses, the results of these battles are not enough to see the Soviet army has been destroyed by the German army more than 210 tanks, of which at least 70 are valuable t-34 tanks.

Such losses were not something Rokossovsky could afford, and he could not even draw out the troops to continue the attack.

There are at least 300 tanks in front of the German army. If he wants to hit some tanks, he must mobilize at least 500 more tanks.

But the number of tanks left in his hand is too small, let alone 500. If the tanks that are lying in the nest are eliminated, he may not even be able to get 300 tanks in his hand.

"In these areas, no matter if the German army chooses a career, we will be cut off the road to retreat back to Tula, so we are very dangerous now." After his men discussed for a while, Rokossovsky pointed to map, and continued to speak.

"But no matter which direction the Germans counterattack from, their target is very likely to be in Tula; they can cut us off by winning Tula and give the troops a solid support." Rokossovsky used his hand He nodded at Tula's place and said.

Then he clenched his hand into a fist and hit Tula's position: "So, we'd better retreat back to Tula and wait for the German counterattack there."

"Retreat is not allowed. If we retreat back to Tula, how to explain the counterattack plan this time?" The chief of staff said with a bitter expression.

Rokossovsky did not think so. He waved his hand and said: "Comrade Khrushchev will understand our difficulties. If the flank collapses, Moscow will be even more dangerous."

He was betting that Khrushchev would not be as inhumane as Stalin. As long as Khrushchev approved his retreat plan, then he could understand to withdraw Tula and end this counterattack.

"I will send a telegram back and ask Comrade Khrushchev for his opinion." Rokossovsky decided to pull down his old face and ask Khrushchev to allow him to retreat.

In fact, his troops had to retreat. After a series of counterattacks, the main force of the 50,000 Soviet troops, that is, the three divisions of the Soviet troops, inserted into the German concave defense line.

Surrounding them are 2 armored divisions and 3 infantry divisions in the hands of Guderian. If you count the independent tank battalion, there are a lot of soldiers.

Once the German army launched a counterattack from all directions, the forces that were inserted into the German army like wedges could no longer be drawn out.

"Send a telegram to Khrushchev, telling them that the German army has increased sharply, and the main German army is preparing to counterattack and retreat!" There must be a good reason for the retreat~www.wuxiaspot.com~Rokossovsky Of course it's an easy ride.

Anyway, according to the situation on the battlefield, the German army has indeed been strengthened. The 505th battalion arrived in time to help the 501st battalion stabilize its position. It is indeed strengthened!

And the so-called excuse of the enemy's main force is the reason for the retreat of the battlefield. Taking advantage of Yang, who has not installed the main force of the enemy a few times, is embarrassed to say hello to others.

In this way, a telegram leaped through time and space and flew to the telegraph room in Moscow. The duty officer in the telegraph room immediately took the telegram to see Khrushchev.

Khrushchev was in his office reviewing documents about reinforcements when he saw this telegram from the Rokossovsky cluster.

"Rokossovsky is going to retreat? What are you kidding? If he retreats to Tula, wouldn't Moscow's southern counterattack fail?" Khrushchev snorted displeasedly when he put down the telegram in his hand. .

The officer who sent the telegram lowered his head and did not speak. This level of issue was not something that the officer on duty in the telegraph room could comment on.

With his hands behind his back, Khrushchev walked around the room for a while before opening his mouth and instructed: "Order Rokossovsky's troops to be stationed in place! Don't take a step back!"

As the commander-in-chief of Moscow's defense, Khrushchev could not afford to lose the southern gateway to Moscow, nor did he want the city he held to be surrounded.

So he ordered Rokossovsky to stick to the position he beat back and drag the dressing room as long as possible, so that the German army could not fully capture Moscow before winter came.
