"boom---!"

The dull and loud noise that echoed the sound, wandered over Moscow for a long time, drowned in the thick dust fog, thousands of broken buildings were trembling, and the broken glass was falling down in a rustling sound. More than one million Soviet soldiers and more residents subconsciously shrank their necks, no matter where they were hiding. Those close to them would inevitably shake their heads twice, pick their ears, and restore the buzzing hearing a little.

The movement was too big!

The perpetrator was dragged from the rear and was a train cannon that served as the backbone!

The Б-37 main gun, which was originally intended to be used for the "Soviet-class" battleship, before the war broke out, considering that the ship must be outdated and the ground needed strong help, the Russians used the four cannons they had already made to build two train cannons, and the other two were also removed from the fortress to build the train chassis!

The first super train cannon was transported to Moscow long after the outbreak of the war, and it was adjusted after Zhukov ran here from Leningrad as a firefighter. Not to mention the previous defence was a mess, the officials led the way to run away, and the panic and retreat caused by him corrected a series of troubles, and he launched a project that accounted for three-quarters of the total number of women to be involved in the excavation and construction of fortifications, and then the tank forces on both wings made ambush sluggish. Various designs finally withstand the craziest early stage of the offensive.

The super train cannon was used as the backbone of boosting morale in the military. Zhukov, with various doubts and pressures, dragged it directly to the city center to arrange it. With its basic range of up to 45 kilometers, it suppressed the enemy attacking in all directions.

The investment of this 406mm super killer and every launch of its 1,150 kilogram shell made people in the city feel shaking. People within a radius of one kilometer can't stand the terrible roar without covering their ears. But it really makes people feel a sense of power from the bottom of their hearts!

The firing movement alone can overwhelm the explosions of the German shells fired here. The repeated smoke of gunpowder boiled, and the explosions caused in the distance, even if most people could not see them, were immediately made by the propaganda force without blushing, claiming that many German troops had been killed and how many tanks or cannons had been destroyed.

Such exaggerated words in the early stages were not convinced. The Germans ahead were attacking extremely sharply and the pressure to fight was huge. If your thing was really useful, why didn't you block it?

But as the battle entered a stalemate, the Germans were dragged down by the mud and the sudden cooling, and their spirits were lost. The most fatal thing was that they used the wrong tactics and most Russians who came to breathe a sigh of relief immediately! As a result, the glorious deeds of various snipers, heroic artillery, fearless warriors, meritorious machine guns, and super train cannons were gradually accepted by most people, and they were sought after them as role models, encouraging morale of the army!

There is no doubt that the train cannon with the most dynamic movement will inevitably become the most appealing one. Because every roar, the soldiers on the entire battlefield can hear it. In the direction of the strike, soldiers at the forefront can also see the explosive pillars of fireworks. This thing is definitely awesome!

Facts have proved that Zhukov's strategic thinking is extremely awesome. There is probably no senior commander busier than him in the entire Soviet-German battlefield, and no one can grasp the big strategy and guide the situation on the battlefield!

In reality, the number of enemy troops killed by this train cannon was really pitiful. There was no accurate sign at all when the Germans took a little attention. However, no one could explain this matter, and Zhukov did not expect that this guy who was slow to beat the old nose could play a big role. He could not shoot out ten shots a day--the lifespan of the medicine room was only more than one hundred times.

What he played was the effect of spiritual warfare. As long as this giant was roaring, the people and soldiers in Moscow had the courage to continue fighting and fight against the harsh environment.

The Germans naturally discovered this guy's existence. The unstoppable 406mm shells were too threatening! They could often blast out a large crater on the football field, and a shocking explosion could break out not far away at any time, which had a great impact on the morale of the army. In a targeted manner, many air strikes, precise long-range artillery bombardment, etc.

However, Zhukov took these into consideration in advance and made a large number of corresponding arrangements.

First of all, the cannon is in the center of Moscow. If you want to directly attack, you must kill the many lines of defense. This is a difficult task, which is equivalent to blocking the German army's attack.

Secondly, a huge protective shell like a building was made outside the cannon, with armor thickness exceeding that of a battleship. Unless a special overweight tandem armor-breaking shell or a battleship main gun of the same caliber is shot directly, you don’t want to penetrate it easily! This basically prevents long-range shells or bombs dropped in the sky.

Furthermore, there are a large number of stone buildings around the cannon truck, which makes the low-extended ballistic shells impossible to hit. The body of the car has also been camouflaged and can move along the rails frequently. It is even more difficult to hit accurately!

Finally, Zhukov carefully constructed a huge air defense array around the train cannons! There were hundreds of anti-aircraft guns of various calibers, and the multi-connected heavy machine guns were deployed interlaced to form a multiple firepower network covering various layers of airspace below 10,000 meters. It was extremely difficult for the German army to attack in the air!

It can be said that unless the Germans have Zhu Bin's cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, high-altitude laser-guided missiles, etc., it is difficult to destroy this train cannon! It is too difficult!

The German army, who believed too much about the armored cluster raid, built a thirty-kilometer-long defense line outside the city, which was built with a speed of thirty kilometers. Not to mention that each cluster of armored torrents had just stopped and was immediately hit by hundreds of heavy artillery!

In the early days of the war, the Russians had a serious shortage of large-caliber heavy artillery. Advanced heavy artillery like the B-4 could not even get 100. The huge number of 122mm howitzers were not powerful enough. The old antique 152mm cannon was difficult to move, with poor accuracy, intricate deployment, and not easy to use.

Zhukov simply set off a large number of anti-aircraft guns, which was the same as the German 88mm guns. He deployed them on all sides of the front of the position, and when the tanks came, they would blast!

In two months, the German army launched several tank clusters to charge, all of which were caused by muddy terrain, wide anti-tank trenches, numerous cannons, and the T34 tank clusters that rushed out of the side from time to time. The progress was slow. Not only did it take a day of 1 kilometer, but thousands of soldiers were left behind every step!

Although they killed more Soviet soldiers and civilians, this exchange ratio was extremely unfavorable to the attacking side. Especially the lightning raid was useless, and a series of army plans were completely disrupted. With the arrival of the severe cold, the trouble was in great trouble!

The German stubbornness once again led to failure!

As the main force of the central cluster attack, Guderian, like Manstein, was overly superstitious about the power of the armored cluster. From the beginning of the war to the present, the unfavorable attacks have made them feel paranoid, thinking that a set of tactics can conquer the world, but they cannot respond flexibly based on the battlefield situation like Rommel. The result is that now, and they are in a dilemma!

In fact, Luo Zhendong represents China's experience, similar to the Soviets' defensive position wars that "build hard camps and fight stupid wars". Either directly destroy them with brute force, or fight for the number of infantry, using bulky armored soldiers and artillery as auxiliary forces to press the formation, and use a large number of infantry to compete for positions one by one, advance step by step, control the rhythm, and finally form a tidal effect, completely crushing the opponent's fighting spirit. Finally, a cruel city alley offensive and defensive battle will be carried out!

This tactic will inevitably require huge casualties. The speed may not be too slow. A small victory will be accumulated into a big victory, and the progress will be carried out steadily at every level, the results will be consolidated, and the morale of the army will always be high. The pressure will always be on the enemy side.

However, Hitler was already blinded by the previous victory! Bolan, France, the Netherlands, and these countries were quickly defeated by lightning. He completely ignored the strategic depth of the Soviet Union that started thousands of kilometers, and did not consider the influence of climate and geographical location, so he fell into an embarrassing situation today!

Every time the giant cannon was shocked, it meant that the Soviet army's strength was restored. The German commander Ferdo Von Bock, who was at the forefront of the battlefield, was in a panic. After being scolded by Hitler many times, he had to follow the rigid tactics.

However, the anxious Hitler was eager to quickly capture Moscow and take out all the killing weapons that could be used at hand, including four P1000 giant rats commanded by Guderian, two K5E train cannons equipped with 280mm main guns, and another 800mm Gustav Super train cannon, which was also moving here--it was really not easy to move that thing, and it took three months to struggle. The roads along the way were reinforced and the railways were repaired, and more than one thousand people were serving and more than four thousand people were alerting. That was a troublesome!

It is hard to say when it was transported here now. However, the P1500 super giant rat, equipped with a 380mm main gun, was ordered to upgrade. The prototype car has been released. The test proved to be good performance. The train was asked by Teller to transport it to the front line as soon as possible. No matter what, it must suppress the Russian cannon and break through the front line of defense!

The wrong tactics are still being executed toughly!

Fortunately, Zhu Bin brought millions of various cold-proof clothing and sent high-priced equipment for ships, which allowed the German army to survive the deadly cold winter invasion.

Today's German soldiers basically wear fleece thermal underwear, thick-lined wool sweater, thick cotton jacket, and the material is blended with wear-resistant and waterproof materials. They are wrapped in a whole piece of translucent animal skin on the collar, hood, elbow, knees, shoulders, etc., which has first-class anti-freeze effect.

On each person's feet are a pair of thick-soled leather shoes. Although they are bulky, they ensure that they will not passively damage their legs. Plus a black and white, waterproof and durable camouflage cloak and wool gloves. The Germans are occupied by Chinese goods from head to toe.

On the military camp, there are a large number of solid alcohol blocks and stamped alcohol pots, self-heating canned lunch boxes, high-energy compressed biscuits, etc. that support the daily needs of German soldiers. This is many times better than what the Germans made themselves. Although the cost is low and selling it to them is sky-high, it still cannot stop the love of German soldiers.

Think about it, in the weather of tens of degrees below zero, the waist-deep snow covered the battlefield, hiding in thick snow caves, burning alcohol pots, gnawing on hot cans or biscuits, it was warm from the inside to the outside.

The tools made in China are really of poor quality, they are not as beautiful as those made in Germany, and they are not as thick as those made in the country. The thin stainless steel pots make people worry that they may be pinched at any time. But they have no choice, at least they are better than those that do not have them!

These high-priced supplies exchanged for gold allowed the Germans to spend the most terrifying winter. By early 1942, the German army, who had been exhausted and had not yet replaced, finally began to attack effectively.

Zhukov, who was keenly aware of this change, would certainly not miss a good opportunity. He immediately organized 30 armies to launch a sudden counterattack from the flank, charging Rogachevo, Istria, Solnechnogorsk, Klin and other places in one fell swoop, and advanced strongly towards Kalinin and other places. Germany's offensive was reversed and its defense became precarious!

Of course, Hitler refused to accept such a failure. He removed the Army Commander-in-Chief Blauchichi, took charge of the position himself and issued a tough order: "Don't make a compromise! Fight back wherever it is attacked! No one can retreat until the rear has built fortifications!"

But the forced orders could not resist reality after all. Guderian and Hepner finally realized their tactical problems and took the pressure to retreat the unstoppable armored cluster backwards to free up enough buffer space, but were dismissed by the furious Hitler.

However, it was Hitler's stubborn and tough stubborn force that forced the German army to set up layers of defense with the supply station as a stronghold and withstand the blocking of the tough attack that saved the German army from repeating Napoleon's mistakes. Not only did it not collapse. It also successfully nailed it to the battlefield. Zhukov, who was powerless and lacked high-speed maneuverability, could not overcome the bad snow-covered battlefield. He barely chased out a period of time, recovered some of the lost land on the periphery, and slowed down the counterattack.

At this moment, members of the military observation team sent by China handed over the first summary and were presented to Hitler's desk.

Looking at the various opinions and suggestions of Luo Zhendong and other generals and school officers above, Hitler could not accept it at first. He could not admit that his strategy and tactics were wrong, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties in the German army. It took a full half a year but was unable to make progress. Instead, the Soviet army had sufficient practical opportunities to train millions of civilians into qualified soldiers!

As the leader of the observation team, General Yu Baoguo said frankly that they used this method to fight the Japanese army when their strength was weak, and through a year of stalemate and engaging in astronomical resources, they finally used the battlefield of thousands of miles of mountains, rivers and earth to hone a full 2 ​​million qualified soldiers, thus laying a solid foundation for the Northeast counterattack.

Hitler was initially incredible about this, but the facts were right in front of him. The Chinese defeated all the great armed forces of the United States, Russia, Japan, Britain, France, and other countries, except for Germany. No matter how proud and despised others, they knew how difficult it was. Aside from the equipment factor, the key was to choose the right strategy and tactics!

"Don't compare us with the annoying Japanese devils!"

In secret, Hitler yelled in an extremely unhappy manner. He hated the statement that he was criticized and criticized by inferior people and used as a reciprocal statement with Japan.

However, compared with Chairman Jiang, Xiaowang's military talent is sometimes slightly better. He secretly summoned a group of defense forces to discuss the views of the Chinese. The respected Marshal Sekt first expressed his support: "The attack can be launched according to the proposal of Chinese friends!"

Thanks to the medical treatment of the City of Light, this meritorious old general did not die and became a lucky house guard in the German Wehrmacht. Hitler had to show respect, and his appeal, the insignificance of the entire German army, immediately received a lot of support.

Hitler had no good solution except to get angry, so he had to twist his nose and order Loeb and Manstein to draw some of his strength in the northern cluster to try to return to infantry tactics, and mobilize the navy to distribute a force into the Baltic to support the operation.

In addition, Goring was forced to mobilize a large number of fighter jets and bombers to form a huge force of 1,500 fighters and 300 bombers. In early February 1942, he launched an attack on Leningrad!

After the Fourth Armored Army was removed, the northern cluster was quite large, and the artillery force was still there. It was nothing more than the armored cluster's impact force was weakened. In the new tactics, their role was not very important.

The German North Sea Squadron, headed by the battleship Tirpitz, quickly rushed to the Baltic Sea, cooperated with the submarine force and air force, and suddenly launched an unprecedentedly large-scale attack on the Soviet Navy!

The German artillery deployed along the Gulf of Finland also moved forward. The long-range artillery of the Coastal Campaign cluster was pressing the formation. Two K5E train guns continued to bombard ships in the bay with extended range bombs. Especially the addition of two hundred V2 missiles. Under the intensive strike, the Soviet Navy caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The overwhelming "perger" attack aircraft exerted its terrible precision strike capability. The dense anti-aircraft guns carrying the German version of heavy gliding bombs bombed outside the range, almost completely paralyzed the maritime power that had made great contributions before!

The artillery fire suppression that had been interfering with and obstructing the ground attack was cleared! Manstein seized this precious opportunity and mobilized artillery troops in the entire southwest to aim at a front that was only ten kilometers wide to launch a carpet-style intensive bombing!

The shells propelled layer by layer continued to extend from the 10-kilometer position, covering more than 100 heavy engineering vehicles, pushing open the snow to press out wide passages, filling up various obstacles blocking the front, anti-tank trenches, etc., and accompanying more than 100 Tiger heavy tanks and thick armored large-caliber assault guns, intensively bombarding the Soviet fortress while steadily pushing.
