One Thousand One Hundred and Forty Chaotic Battlefield

In a building on Vernadsky Prospekt, the Soviet machine gun emplacement on the second floor faces the wide street. [Pull\|Cross\|Search\|Classic\|Small\|Say\|Free\|Fee\|Download\|Load\|Small\|Say] ..on the street that should have been bustling, a There are no shadows of people. On the third floor of this house, in a hole that was ejected by a rocket, a ruthless sniper is aiming his weapon at the direction where the enemy may appear.

Every street and every ruin in the city of Moscow has become a paradise for killing people with various weapons. Everyone is trying their best to arrange traps and lay mines, trying to use various means to kill those careless enemies.

Every plant and tree here may be a fatal existence, and it may be that just a moment of distraction will cause people to lose their lives. Bullets may fly out from a certain corner at any time, an unexpected corner.

A German soldier ran from one side of the street to the other with his weapon and a telephone line on his back for communications with German units a few blocks away. Holding on to his helmet, he ran desperately, because a slight hesitation would slow him down, and then he might be hit by a Soviet sniper and turn into a corpse lying in the middle of the road.

The "bang" gunshot still rang out, but this German soldier was obviously a very lucky person. The bullet bounced on the ground behind him and flew to a farther place with the sand, and he had already passed through After reaching the most dangerous place, he ran to a safe place at the other end by rolling and crawling.

"Have you seen where the sniper is?" In the corner, a sergeant with a rifle on his back asked several soldiers who were in charge of nearby sniper missions. These soldiers who were also carrying sniper rifles listed several suspicious Place.

A soldier pointed to the suspicious building, and then said, "I suspect the sniper is in the building opposite, but I didn't see the muzzle flash of the specific window, so I can't confirm it."

This kind of thing happens almost every hour, and finding an experienced sniper's hideout is very troublesome until the 21st century. In the end, we had to use high-tech means to detect, but the effect still needs the test of time.

"No way, let the troops stay put. We are not good at this kind of thing. Leave it to the artillery." The sergeant marked a rough sketch of a few blocks in a pencil. The position was handed over to a soldier wearing the uniform of an artillery observer: "Give this to your commander. During the next shelling, start according to the approximate position on the map."

The soldier who took the sketch nodded and stuffed the sketch into the leather backpack he was carrying. The German army has been collecting suspicious targets nearby, and then prepares to focus on eliminating these more dangerous buildings during the next attack. The closer they got to the center of Moscow, the more they felt the tenacious defense of the Soviet defenders, with more and more barricades and obstacles,

It even hinders the advancement of heavy vehicles such as tanks.

The Soviets used all kinds of things they could find to stop the Germans from advancing, including destroyed buses and various dug up wasteland. Sometimes the Soviets dug the entire road by themselves, and then used the excavated soil to build a bunker with a steep slope to prevent the German tanks from advancing quickly into the city.

In the artillery headquarters of the German army, several officers were screening the coordinates sent by the front-line troops for bombardment. They carefully compared some photos and the map in their hands, and converted the correct position and marked it on the special artillery map with detailed coordinates.

"My God, there are too many targets. If all these suspicious positions are covered with artillery fire, it will be no different from destroying the city of Moscow." An officer rubbed his astringent eyes, feeling a little helpless complained.

"This morning, we destroyed 30 fixed targets with 105mm caliber howitzers, but I heard that 12 soldiers were still shot by the enemy's sniper. In the afternoon, the higher authorities asked us to attack 40 more similar targets. Don't think those snipers are still waiting for our shells." Another officer took off the thumbtacks on the targets that had been bombarded, and marked the targets that had not been bombarded with pushpins of another color.

There were more and more objective markers on the map, much to the annoyance of everyone in command. It's not that their attack speed is too slow, but that there are too many places where these suspicious targets appear. Every day, hundreds of people claim to have been attacked by Soviet snipers, but it turns out that most of them were just shot in the cold.

Some stray bullets hitting the soldiers will cause panic. In this kind of street fighting, the information provided by the frontline troops is sometimes still not accurate and reliable. Some units want their artillery to destroy everything suspicious around them, so they will deliberately claim that there are Soviet snipers firing somewhere.

The consumption of ammunition made the managers of the German logistics department crazy. Due to excessive tension and various reasons, the soldiers on the front line often over-consumed the ammunition in their hands. Grenades and rockets are the most consumed types of ammunition: the German army often kicks open the door and throws a grenade in, which is the most direct and effective way to deal with abnormal noise or suspicious rooms; and rockets consume even more Faster, the main reason is that this is one of the few good things that can tear down walls in the hands of the frontline troops.

In this kind of place where dangers may occur everywhere, keeping all positions under your own surveillance is a very reassuring method. Therefore, German soldiers often use precious anti-tank rockets to destroy building structures and break through some ruins that block their sight.

While the artillery commanders were complaining that there were too many targets from the front line, the location of the weapon storage for logistics supplies was even more lively. Soldiers from various companies and battalions took away the bullets and grenades that had just been unloaded, and most of the things would not even be stored in the hands of the logistics force for more than a day.

In addition to ammunition, all sorts of things were distributed: cigarettes, chocolate bonbons, soap, matches, insoles, socks, needles and thread, spices, and compressed biscuits as well as cans and alcohol block warmers. There are as many as one million German troops surrounding Moscow, and the amount of these things consumed every day is astonishingly large. Every day these soldiers write letters and consume tens of thousands of letter papers. There are 4 carriages for the special train for transporting the wounded every day. .

Such a large army needs to bathe and drink fresh water every day, which is a headache. The German army also set up a water emergency support force for this purpose. Troops can live a normal life. Hundreds of thousands of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep procured from Ukraine, Belarus and other regions were slaughtered on the front line, so that the remnant soldiers who were withdrawn from the front line could have a delicious meal.

If you want to count the tons of artillery shells that enter Moscow every day, the statistics and liquidation of these logistical supplies are enough to make people collapse. This does not include the consumption of several times the shells and ammunition when encountering large military operations such as the attack on Bicha Park. A total of more than 17,000 German soldiers were waiting on the platforms of several railway stations and in the stations where these platforms were responsible for distribution, doing the work of ordinary porters.

They moved the shells from the train to the car, and then moved the shells to the cannon. They were the logistics company for the millions of German troops who surrounded Moscow, responsible for sorting all kinds of things to the front that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. throughout. These soldiers are unfortunate, because they have been soldiers for a year but have never fired a single shot in this war-torn era; these soldiers are lucky, because many of the soldiers who participated in the battle with them have died, And they were unharmed.

"The logistics team has sent our shells, let the brothers who are eating lunch move faster, we really have a lot of targets to hit in the afternoon, maybe everyone will be an hour late to eat dinner. "Hearing the sound of the car outside the door, it didn't take much thinking to know that the shells had been delivered. After the artillery commander gave an order, he put his face on the artillery mirror and observed the distant targets that were emitting thick smoke.

Soon, a cheerful shelling began again, and the German 105mm howitzers roared again, firing shells one after another towards distant buildings. The sound of brick walls collapsing and collapsing could be clearly heard from a few streets away, and the black smoke from the explosion covered the sky and made everyone desperate.

With the bang of explosion after explosion, the battle to attack Vorontsov Park kicked off. The German army crossed the dangerous sniper guard zone on Lenin Avenue and dropped 1,000 soldiers in one breath on the green park inside the small city. The battle unfolded behind the dense woods and the benches beside the narrow path, and the soldiers on both sides once again experienced the most similar feeling of field combat in urban street fighting.

The bullets cut through the branches and sent the dense leaves flying far away. Soldiers fought the enemy in dug trenches and barbed wire defenses, just like the battlefields of World War I. Someone fell here, and a bullet pierced through his heart, lungs and chest cavity. Blood seeped into the soil, changing the color of the artificial river in the park.

The bridge above the small river became the main point of contention between the two sides. The German army used three machine guns to cover the firepower, and finally transferred a King Tiger tank, and finally took down the 4-meter-long pile of dead soldiers from both sides. Long "bridge".
