1143rd Battle of Mamonovo

Just as Marcus was fighting hard with his tank unit and the Soviet soldiers guarding the position, a Stuka 2 bomber followed by a Stuka 2 bomber rushed down the clouds thousands of meters above the sky. The German army has never had the habit of fighting one-on-one fairly with its opponents. The main reverse of the main effort of the entire industrial sector for 20 years of research is to fight an unfair modernization war with its opponents.

So when the Soviet tanks were frantically slaughtered by the more advanced German tanks, they were desperate to find that the battle they had experienced before was just the beginning of a nightmare. German bombers joined this unfair duel and participated in this duel by adding insult to injury.

They dropped the bombs hanging under the wings at the Soviet positions, and the explosion enveloped the Soviet positions, and blew up the Soviet tanks that were fighting back desperately just now into parts that rolled everywhere. The flames and thick smoke became the main theme here, and even Marcus had to stop his attacking steps, allowing a place hundreds of meters away to be riddled with holes by the guys from the Air Force.

After such a long war, the cooperation between the German Air Force's ground attack fleet and its own ground forces has reached the point of perfection. They dared to drop bombs 100 meters in front of the infantry attack, and the shock wave from the explosion could even blow off the hats of nearby German soldiers. casualties and losses.

After the German bombers dropped all their bombs, Marcus ordered his troops to continue the attack just now. Looking at the wreckage of tanks that were destroyed and exploded one after another, the German soldiers were still burning and smoking. In addition to cleaning the battlefield, they only have to catch the remaining unlucky prisoners.

Soon Marcus's 502nd Battalion passed through the heavily fortified positions of the Soviet defenders and stormed northwest along the Moskva River. It wasn't until the scouting team in front sent back news that the Moskva River was turning in front that they changed their attack direction and launched a tentative attack towards the west.

More than two hours later, Marcus's armored battalion stopped on the roadbed of a wide road. They built a concealed fortification nearby by relying on the roadbed, and then occupied several nearby buildings. down. Followed by some armored reconnaissance vehicles, and signal soldiers on motorcycles.

Everyone stopped and started to check the maps in their hands, and then everyone didn't know where they were now. Unclear photos provided by the aviation department show that they should now be in the northwest of Mamonovo, very close to Moscow. But the sketches of the nearby area in their hands showed that they should still be in the Mamonovo area at this moment.

The news brought back by the scouts was even more vague. Several soldiers who were ordered to reconnaissance said something about the enemy’s situation when they came back: “The Soviet army is setting up a new defensive zone not far from the other side of the roadbed. Shuttle back and forth, with anti-tank guns and tank reinforcements, the opponent obviously did not intend to give up the surrounding area easily, and I even saw engineers laying mines."

"Spread out the reconnaissance troops, I need the exact situation of my location, including the place name and the location on the map coordinates... The follow-up artillery support needs us to provide precise coordinates. If the confusion continues, we may be attacked by ourselves. Human bombardment." Marcus looked at the several maps drawn by the intelligence department, the Air Force and the infantry reconnaissance force himself, and after thinking for a while, he issued an order to reconnaissance the nearby area.

Because they had to wait for the results of the investigation, the 502nd Battalion stopped attacking here for about an hour. During this period, his troops were attacked by Soviet artillery fire. Fortunately, only two infantrymen from the Grenadier Regiment were injured. Marcus was still waiting patiently for the results brought back by the scouting force, but this waited until around 4 pm.

Returning soldiers finally figured out exactly where they were,

The road in front of their line of defense is the southeast section of the Moscow Ring Road, and the unknown river on the west side of where they are located is the Graudya River. All the bridges on this river can't pass a big guy like the King Tiger tank, so no matter how anxious Marcus is, he can only wait for the engineers behind to catch up.

In a swaying armored vehicle, Guderian put down the communication of the commander of the 1st Armored Army. He looked at the small observation window, and through the gap, he saw various dilapidated scenes that kept retreating outside.

The onslaught of the German troops along the way left too many ruins. Modern warfare brings people not only rapid advancement, but also more powerful destructive forces. The thick and heavy city walls that had been impenetrable in the past few years, in front of the current aircraft and cannons, would be destroyed in just a moment and turned into ruins and rubble that could not be seen from the original appearance.

"The 1st Armored Army has already begun to attack the defense line of the ring road. Marshal Model's troops are trying to stabilize the defense line behind us. Moscow has been completely surrounded. If Stalin is still there, he will be unable to fly. Already." The chief of staff smiled and filled the last hole on the map, and then said to Guderian in a daze.

Guderian leaned on his seat, and finally said: "As long as I win this battle, then I am worthy of the head of state's kindness to me. I don't know if Zhukov, an old opponent, will be here. If you trouble us, we have to be more careful."

"I heard that Schollner will be transferred to the Eastern Front, and Marshal Manstein will be transferred to the Middle East?" The chief of staff looked at the confidant of the Führer who was going to be promoted to marshal sooner or later, and finally sent He asked what was on his mind. Troops in the Middle East are being frequently mobilized recently. It seems that Scherner, who has a thorough research on infantry, will be transferred to places where he is needed more.

This general who has followed Rommel since he led the K Group Army, and has been the pinnacle of the entire North African Army, this time finally has a stage to show himself. His K Group Army will enter the Caucasus from Turkey. After a circle, Exchange the position of your own defense zone with the m group army.

In this way, Marshal Manstein, the commander of the m group army, who has a better overall view and easier to understand the intention of the head of state, will become the commander-in-chief of the Middle East theater, replacing Rommel who returned home due to illness to command the Middle East theater. And Scherner will be stationed in the Caucasus, and use the mountain warfare he is more familiar with to suppress the Soviet guerrillas operating in the Caucasus mountains.

"Well, this order seems to have been discussed in Wolf's Lair. Since Rommel left, the Middle East really needs a general who has a better overall view and can better understand the intentions of the head of state." Guderian nodded, and then Embarrassed, he smiled: "If I hadn't lost the Battle of Kursk, and now I'm the marshal, maybe this position should be for me."

He and Rommel's combat style are very similar, so he is definitely the best candidate to succeed Rommel as the commander in chief of the Middle East. It's a pity that he was promoted to marshal later than Rommel after all, and whether he can subdue the rebellious Army Group L is indeed a question.

...

"Speak! Didn't Comrade Vatutin say that our troops have driven the Germans out of Moscow? Why can I still hear the sound of artillery in the distance? Didn't I order Vasilevsky to fight back against the Germans? His Where is the army now? Where is it?" Stalin pressed his hand on the map hanging on the wall, and loudly questioned a group of generals in front of him who didn't know how to speak.

Ten days ago they had deceived Stalin, using various excuses to evade the questioning of the Soviet leader. They claimed that their troops were counterattacking, claiming that the Germans had not breached their lines. But in fact, the German army has fully occupied Bicha Park, and some troops have even captured Vorontsov Park, which is further north.

Now that Stalin finally came to his senses, he finally realized that the news he had heard these days actually contained a lot of water in it. The sound of the lingering German bombardment clearly told him the truth: the German army was still around Moscow, and the successful counterattacks he believed in did not drive away the approaching German troops.

"Comrade... Leader Stalin, our counterattack has indeed won, but in the process of encircling the German army, we encountered tenacious resistance from the German army, so for a while we were unable to complete the victory of encircling and annihilating the German army... that... that ..." I couldn't write any more, and the general looked helplessly at another colleague beside him.

That person obviously didn't expect that he would be dragged into such an unlucky situation. He winked vigorously, hoping that the other party would stop looking at him. However, Stalin obviously saw the sneakiness of the two people, so he slapped the table and erupted more violently: "Tell me the truth! What are you hiding from me! Tell me quickly! Tell me clearly!"

"Comrade leader, our troops... suffered losses during the counterattack." The general had no choice but to tell the truth: "The battle near Bicha Park was not smooth, and our losses were great. I hope you Be able to carefully consider the order to counterattack, and let the troops withdraw to rest for a while..."

Stalin thought he had heard the truth, but these false excuses still made him furious. He shouted loudly: "The order cannot be withdrawn! They must rely on their own beliefs and patriotic enthusiasm to maintain high fighting spirit! Attack and wipe out the surrounding areas of Moscow. We have more reserves! In the Far East! In Siberia! If we win, those troops will come, support us and win!"—
