Imperial Overlord

()     "About 1,000 people were burned to death. This figure is estimated. We did not expect that the new German weapons would be put into battle." A Soviet commander lowered his head and reported to Konev road.

     Konev frowned, listening to the news gathered from the periphery, thinking in his heart how long he could use the troops in his hand to hold on to Moscow.

     In fact, he didn't even have 300,000 troops that he could fight. The troops outside Moscow were scattered and annihilated, and the rest retreated to Gorky and other areas farther away.

     And the soldiers in Moscow City are already desperate at this moment. Although there are 600,000 or more troops available, almost half of them have no combat effectiveness.

    These soldiers have no combat experience and do not have enough weapons and ammunition. Some so-called formed regiments may be defeated by a single German battalion.

    What's more terrible is that he had to use this kind of troops to block holes and garrison important defense lines, which made his command more difficult.

     The troops in their hands do not know when they will go wrong. Such battles are the most difficult to command.

     As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents like gods, but only teammates like pigs. What I'm talking about is the current situation, Konev has to deal with not only the German army, but also the chaos of his own troops.

    The Germans have already occupied the reservoirs and water plants outside Moscow in the north, and the power plants have also been lost.

    Most of the remaining power plants have been blown up, and now the electricity supply in the city has basically stopped.

     The battle for the Sparks Stadium ended in a total defeat for the Soviets, and Konev no longer wanted to scramble for the outer ruins of Moscow.

    The situation is better in the south, because the German army has not yet taken the initiative to attack - the **** army group there is adjusting the troops stationed, so they have not attacked yet.

     But Konev knew that this meant that if the German forces in the south attacked, it would be more violent.

     "Before we lost the control area, we investigated some of the corpses. Many people were suffocated due to lack of oxygen, and the number of people burned to death was not enough..." The officer continued.

     He saw that kind of tragic situation with his own eyes, and it was a complete collapse. There were also traces of the shells carried by the soldiers being scorched by the flames at the scene, which was confirmed by eyewitnesses.

     Those poor people who saw the sea of ​​fire with their own eyes are now mentally broken, they don't want to fight, and problems may arise at any time.

    Although Konev was very concerned about the loss of thousands of people, he was more concerned about how many weapons of destruction the Germans had, or how easy they were to manufacture.

    If this weapon is used on a large scale in Moscow, his defense line will be easily penetrated.

     Frequently throwing such incendiary bombs in downtown Moscow will discourage his soldiers and make it easier to compress the area he controls.

     This is not good news, because once the area controlled by the troops is compressed, his command and dispatch will become ineffective, and there will be a one-sided collapse, and the entire urban area will fall quickly and uncontrollably.

     "Comrade General, if we do not popularize the characteristics of this weapon, after the German army uses this weapon in urban areas, the soldiers will panic and cause a rout." The officer said so.

    Concealing the enemy's new weapons is a very dangerous thing. Although it is easy to affect morale when talking about the advanced performance of the opponent's weapons, if the grassroots soldiers are exposed to the enemy's new weapons without preparation, it will affect more than just morale.

     Panic spreads rapidly among the frontline troops and then collapses the defenses. Therefore, the risk of concealing the enemy's new weapons is much more dangerous than popularizing the performance of the opponent's weapons.

    If this kind of weapon is difficult to manufacture, the number must be small, then he still has the confidence to hold on to the influence of this kind of weapon.

    If the production of this weapon is very easy, the situation on the battlefield may change because of this weapon.

     This change will make all his previous preparations in vain, and the Battle of Moscow may be over by the Germans in a few weeks.

     "Let the mentally normal comrades who have seen the scene spread the word to all the soldiers... Notify the combat troops formed by civilians to assist in the defense and do a good job of fire prevention." Konev thought for a while, but there was no What a great way to treat this new German weapon in the most ordinary way.

     He has always been reluctant to admit that the civilians armed with weapons are "troops", so he has always used this kind of troops to do some auxiliary work.

     Even transporting ammunition, he would rather leave it to the supplementary soldiers than to these civilians.

    In fact, these civilians are not really an army. They often launch counterattacks alone under the command of a group of lunatics under Khrushchev, wasting lives and ammunition.

    These civilians will gather hundreds of people and then suddenly launch a counter-charge against the German army in a certain place. Although there are very few examples of regaining blocks or positions, they will still insist on doing this kind of unprofitable thing.

     What made Konev somewhat dissatisfied was that Khrushchev often approved the allocation of ammunition for such mindless idiots, and often uselessly wasted precious artillery support.

     The Soviet artillery was really used less than once. A large number of artillery were destroyed by the Germans in the outer positions of the city, and the artillery that was transferred to the city could not be used in a concentrated manner due to the problem of firing range and angle.

     What's worse, the artillery deployed in the streets and in the parks was destroyed by the increasingly rampant carpet bombing of the German army, which made the problem of insufficient Soviet artillery even worse~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The reality is, Konev's regular army now often cannot wait for his own artillery support, so he also instructed many artillery commanders to ignore the task of supporting civilian armed forces.

     "Boom!" There was a sound of explosion in the distance, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the German 150mm caliber stray gun looking for something.

    The distant voice made people irritable, presumably a new round of German attacks had begun again-within a few hours of encircling Moscow, the Germans were trying to compress the living space of the Soviet army.

     Obviously, their efforts were very effective, the Soviets lost two blocks in two hours, and the encirclement of Moscow became even smaller.

     "We are running out of time to buy Comrade General Zhukov, everyone must fight to the end, this is my order!" Konev looked at his men and said solemnly.
