.., the latest chapter of Empire Overlord!

"The Germans put in new artillery, and we were attacked several times yesterday." A Soviet officer reported yesterday's battle to Konev.

Within a few hours, the Germans had used the powerful shells on several positions, and several Soviet positions had been severely damaged.

The power of this large-scale artillery is very huge, and the walls are thick. The thick walls of Soviet buildings that are almost impossible to destroy by ordinary artillery shells can be easily destroyed by such artillery shells.

What is even more depressing is that the German army has a lot of this artillery, and can attack with many cannons at the same time in all directions.

"The counterattack of a battalion-level unit was disintegrated by this type of artillery. Before the battle started, we lost more than 120 people, nearly 30 people were killed, and more than 90 people were injured." The officer said word by word.

"One cannonball killed more than 100 people? Are you kidding me?" Konev was stunned when he heard the result, and then questioned.

"We were preparing to carry out a local counterattack, and the other party opened fire." The officer explained: "Also, the caliber of the other party's artillery is at least 300 mm, which is a super heavy artillery."

This type of artillery appeared during the bombardment of Leningrad, and Marshal Voroshilov also reported it.

The German army has large-caliber siege artillery, with a caliber of about 300 mm, and has a strong suppression ability.

Sometimes it only takes one shot to change the balance of power in a local area. This type of artillery has a very long range and can perform suppressive fire from great distances.

In the real historical time and space, this K5 train gun can deal with the Allied air force and navy on the beachhead of Anchio, suppressing the landing American soldiers.

And what's more terrible is that it is elusive, using the tunnel to avoid the bombing of the Allied forces, causing huge losses to the Allied forces who landed in Anchio.

This kind of psychological shadow has given the k5 train gun a nickname of "Anchio Express".

"The number of German artillery pieces is quite large. It is estimated that there are more than 5 pieces. Such heavy artillery pieces pose a great threat to us, especially to the Kremlin."

"Let Comrade Khrushchev be transferred to the underground fortifications! It's hard to say where it is safe in Moscow now!" Konev reminded his subordinates depressedly.

If the German artillery bombardment killed Khrushchev, it would be a huge blow to the entire defense of Moscow.

Although Khrushchev's military level can only be said to be average, he still plays a great role in local political management.

After all, in the huge encirclement of Moscow, not only the army, but also countless civilians need to be managed.

And these officials, as well as the deployment and distribution of various materials, plus withstanding Stalin's pressure... These things prove that Khrushchev is still very useful.

"Understood, Comrade General Konev..." After the subordinate agreed, he continued: "Because of this large-caliber artillery, the suddenness and effectiveness of German artillery bombardment have been improved."

Seeing that Konev did not speak, he continued: "Our personnel were bombarded before the deployment, and the positions were denser, so the losses were also greater."

"And..." Having said this, the officer talked about the other side of the matter: "It seems that the German battle group has become active again."

The kind of German combat team he was talking about was referring to the German special sniper team, and they didn't know the correct name for this kind of organization.

On the battlefield, snipers who catch the enemy are to be shot. Everyone does this, and there is no sense of guilt.

Therefore, no one is so bored that after grabbing a sniper prisoner, he asks: What is the name of your team? Does it sound good or not? Do you smoke?

Everyone will make the sniper prisoner kneel on the ground, then put the pistol or rifle against the opponent's head, and then pull the trigger to see the beautiful scene of the opponent's head being shattered by the bullet.

"They are active again?" Konev asked in a depressed tone when he heard the news.

The opponent's sniper team has always been very active, but their attention was distracted by the Soviet snipers some time ago, which made them seem a little quiet.

But now, when the Soviet snipers were forced to withdraw, these groups turned their attention to those ordinary Soviet soldiers.

"It's not the way to go on like this. We can only let the snipers try again." Konev, who had a headache, reluctantly gave his own countermeasures.

"However, Comrade General, our snipers lost too much~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are too many newbies, and the overall combat capability is already declining." The officer persuaded.

The new snipers have not yet been trained, and the losses in actual combat are still high. In this case, overdrafting these sniper units could have serious consequences.

"The new snipers have not been trained and formed, and the old snipers have lost too much. Now the veterans have been recruited back to temporarily train new snipers. The remaining group of recruits have little experience and cannot complete the task independently." The officer said a lot in one breath.

But unfortunately, the Konev he knew also knew, and the Konev he didn't knew also knew. Lost snipers cannot be replenished, so can the lost ordinary soldiers be replenished?

The German Army Group North was overwhelmed and had captured the Ivankov Reservoir. He had to mobilize at least 200,000 people to the north to deal with the new threat.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet defenders in the huge encirclement of Moscow are already a bit stretched.

Once the German army continues to expand the Soviet army's defense area, such as capturing Ryazan or directly cutting off the Soviet army's back road and encircling the entire Moscow, then Konev's troops will have to deploy at least 200,000 more to deal with it.

Under such circumstances, the loss of thousands of people every day is a figure that is completely unbearable - not only he can't afford it, Khrushchev, Stalin, and even the entire Soviet Union can't afford it.

"I know! I know everything you said... But what can we do now? Is there a better choice?" Konev asked in a depressed tone, then shook his head.

He has tried his best, but in the face of the absolute advantage of the German army, he still feels helpless...
