1035 Father, we have tried our best
As time passes by bit by bit, it finally reaches the evening of May 6. At this moment, in the northern part of Moscow Prefecture, around the triangle between the Volokoramsk-Rama River-Solnechnogorsk, hundreds of thousands of fully armed soldiers and thousands of tanks, assault artillery, self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles, as well as thousands of cannons and rocket launchers, have entered the state of war.
At noon, the officers, soldiers and political workers of the Soviet Red Army had already listened to the speech of the great leader Stalin from the temporary tweeters. In the speech, Stalin declared the fate of the Soviet motherland and the success or failure of the cause of G-ism in this battle, and called on all Red Army officers and soldiers to do their best to fight.
It is not just the leader's speech that is used to boost morale, but the material and spiritual motivation are also adopted in the pre-war mobilization on May 6.
The door of the Bolshevik Party was open, and bright red party flags were spread out on the positions of each company. All the soldiers who submitted the application now stood in front of the party flag and swore that from this moment on, they were all probationary members of the Bolshevik Party!
In addition to joining the party, which is among the three major events in life, the indicators for promotion were also spread out one by one. All comrades who had joined the party but had not yet promoted became glorious revolutionary cadres on May 6. If... if the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet Union had a future, they could survive until that moment, and they would undoubtedly be the winners in life.
The soldiers who are not the turn to join the party and promote the army will not be empty on May 6. Various medals, revolutionary soldiers and precious Moscow household registration are all things distributed on demand for the soldiers who are about to participate in the counterattack.
If necessary, you can get it!
In addition, the officers and soldiers also received the most realistic prize before going to the battlefield, a large glass of vodka plus a delicious dinner.
On the evening of May 6, just as the soldiers had just spent the happiest day in their lives and started to enjoy a delicious dinner. A large number of scenic blue hats appeared in front of the soldiers who were preparing to participate in the first wave of attacks. It seemed to be telling everyone: What you are enjoying is probably the last supper!
Using the "blue hat" to supervise the war is not a common method used by the Red Army. Because the commanders of the Red Army and political workers themselves have the responsibility to supervise the war, it is a bit unnecessary to deploy the "blue hat" again.
However, this battle is related to the survival of the G-ism cause, so Stalin had to use carrots and sticks to the other. While giving the G-ism fighters a lot of "affordable", he also sent the most reliable internal security forces from Moscow and dispersed to the regiments on the front line.
In addition, the ones who are now "profitable" are not only the Red Army soldiers who defend Moscow. There are also farmers in Moscow, Kalinin, Tula, Kaluga, Ryazan, Vladimir and Yaroslavl.
According to Stalin's latest instructions, the collective farms in these states will be disbanded before the spring sowing began in 1944, and the land of the collective farms will be distributed to the peasants. Although Stalin was definitely a great Marxist-Leninist of the times, it does not mean that he is ignorant of adaptation.
Now that the Soviet-German War has become a Soviet-Russian civil war, the Belarusian reactionary forces who sang against the Bolshevik Party all know how to use the "Edict of Land Reform" to invite people to win hearts. How could Stalin continue to insist on unpopular agricultural collectivization in various states that were about to fall or become a battlefield?
As for whether the division of land alone will have an adverse impact on agricultural productivity, Stalin can't take care of it for the time being.
Just when the Red Army soldiers enjoyed their last meal with complex moods, they suddenly burst into orange-red fires of all sizes on the battlefield, which was more than 100 kilometers long, and then there was a harsh sound that shook the sky and the earth.
This is 27o "Hersman Organ" vehicle-mounted rocket launcher and 27o 41 box rocket launcher (this is a low-cost rocket launcher. The caliber of the rocket is m, 6 is 1 firing unit, installed in an iron frame with guide rails, mounted on the position, can be retracted or discarded after completion of the shooting), and there are thousands of self-propelled artillery, assault guns and anti-tank destroyers ("cheetah" and "rhino") that are spewing flames. According to the coordinate range determined by the scout and aircraft reconnaissance in advance, the rocket and shells are projected out. If you look down from the air, thousands of flying fire dragons suddenly appear in the dim night below, making a harsh whistling sound, and rushed forward violently, and suddenly turned into a huge ball of smoke and fireballs. Finally, the thick smoke from the distance swallowed all the objects on the ground, as if the strongest volcanic explosion was born.
This kind of aura seemed very scary to shell out the main rocket launcher. In order to enable the 48th Panzer Army to have the firepower to fight against the Soviet artillery group. After the roads in northern Moscow State became dry and hard, five rocket launchers and five artillery regiments were immediately transferred to reinforce the 48th Panzer Army.
The five artillery regiments are nothing, they are just 27o towed 15m howitzers, which can't produce much momentum. But those five rocket launchers are amazing. The latest model of "Hersman's Organ" vehicle-mounted rocket launcher system is 12-connected, and 27o rocket launchers are 324o 13m rockets at a time. Although the Type 41 rocket launcher is equipped with 6-connected, they are all large rockets of m, and 27o volleys can also produce 162o rockets. The two are added together, and a volley is 486o rockets. All of them hit the frontier of the Soviet South Line Attack Cluster.
Concentrating firepower on one side was the decision of Balk, the commander of the 48th Armored Army. Because the Soviet troops on the northern line were all north or west of the Rama River, the contact with the German army was a small section on the west bank of the Rama River north of Volokolamsk. Although it might be the focus of the Soviet attack, it was not a big problem in Balk (the risk of Volokolamsk being captured), so he focused on the sudden attack on the southern line.
"What's going on? The shelling began early?"
The Soviet armored tank marshal Rotmistrov, who was dining in the headquarters of Istria, heard the explosion like thunder coming from outside and was stunned. He did not expect that his troops were being bombarded, and he thought that the Red Army's artillery fired in advance.
"No, this is not our people who are shooting, it's the German guy!"
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Assault Cluster, who was dining with Rotmistrov, responded faster than Liuzov, and immediately understood that it was the Germans who fired the gun. Two minutes later, his judgment was confirmed.
The front of the Soviet southern assault cluster was suddenly violently bombarded by the German army! The troops that were preparing to attack suffered losses of varying degrees.
"Damn it! They attacked first!" He then made another wrong judgment, "The Germans want to take action first!"
Is it better to take action first? Rotmistrov was also a little confused. He looked at his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ivanov. The latter also agreed with Bilizov's opinion. He told his superiors: "Now we should launch an artillery counterattack immediately, and at the same time, order the frontier troops to launch defense immediately."
The defensive postures and offensive postures of the troops are different, especially the offensive and defensive postures of the infantry troops are hugely different, so it is very troublesome to change. Once Rotmistrov ordered the troops to adjust their postures, it would be impossible to attack again in the first half of the night!
However, Rotmistrov did not dare to take an attack on the German army. He was a god-like opponent!
"The frontier forces immediately launched defense," Rotmistrov immediately ordered, "The artillery group launched a counterattack and suppressed the German artillery."
This was another decision that was later considered a "big mistake", because nearly 2ooo cannons and hundreds of rocket launchers of the Soviet South Line Assault Cluster had long been aimed at the frontier of the German army. Now some of the cannons and rocket launchers are used to suppress the enemy gun group, which requires no waste of time. This is not just a shaking of the gun tube. In order to prevent the gun group from being counterattacked by enemy guns or air strikes, the artillery usually needs to be transferred for a few minutes or more than ten minutes!
"What? The Germans started first?"
Zhukov, who was in the bunker of the Red Army's General Staff, also received news that the southern assault cluster was violently bombarded by Germany.
He and Pavlov, who was also in the General Staff bunker, looked at each other, and their brows frowned at the same time.
Kokopev, who served as chief of staff of the Central Front, continued: "Comrade General Staff, Comrade Rotmistrov has ordered artillery counterattacks and also ordered the frontier troops to launch defense."
"Where is Katukov's northern line cluster?" Zhukov asked, "Has the northern line been shelled?"
Zhukov did not give different opinions on Rotmistrov's disposal at the first time, but asked about the situation of the North Line Cluster.
"No." Kokopev replied, "North Line Command just reported that everything was fine there.
Admiral Katukov also asked for instructions, should the Northern Line Cluster start an attack along the Rama River as planned?"
Zhukov thought about it, nodded, and said to Marshal Pavlov, the first deputy National People's Committee on Defense, who represented Stalin,: "I think the Northern Line Cluster should launch artillery and attack according to the plan! The Southern Line Cluster... can defend first and then talk about it."
