On this day, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out all over China.

It was a day of rejoicing throughout the Americas, from north to south.

The fall of Europe on this day also seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and resistance groups everywhere carried out a frantic counterattack against the German army.

But on this day, Soviet Russia lost an adult.

Here's how things went.

After stubborn defense and repeated counter-assaults by the Russian troops in late November-early December, the last attempt of the German army to break through to Moscow failed.

The Soviet Russian troops, although often in a critical state, finally held out and depleted the German troops.

From November 16 to December 5, 1941 alone, the Germans suffered more than 155,000 casualties near Moscow, and lost about 800 tanks, 300 artillery pieces, and nearly 1,500 aircraft.

An important reason for this is that the winter of 1941-1942 was unusually cold even by Russian standards.

Due to the long battle line, insufficient supplies, and excessive consumption during the campaign, the German army had neither defensive positions nor campaign reserves, nor was it prepared to fight in winter conditions.

By the beginning of November, the roads were usable, but the Germans were underequipped for the winter, and they thought that the fighting would be over before the winter. Warm clothing and white camouflage suits were insufficient, and tanks and other vehicles were immobilized due to the low temperatures.

For the Russian forces in Moscow, the opposite was true.

The Russian troops from Siberia had long been accustomed to life in the cold zone, had sufficient winter combat equipment, their guns were covered with thermal jackets and antifreeze lubricants; There are enough cotton clothes, leather boots, and ear protection winter hats to protect against the cold.

So by November 29, 1941, the Germans were at the end of their power, and their offensives in all directions had been contained.

At this time, Zhukov asked Joseph to transfer the reserve 10th Army, the 20th Army and the 1st Shock Army to the Western Front.

At this time, the strength of the Soviet army was 1.1 million people, 7,652 artillery pieces, 774 tanks, and more than 1,000 aircraft. The German army had a total of 1.7 million men, 13,500 artillery pieces, 1,170 tanks, and 615 aircraft. Although the Germans outnumbered the Soviets, the front was not stable due to the length of its front and the dispersion of its forces.

At this point, the conditions were in place for the Russian troops to switch to a counteroffensive and crush the German army under Moscow.

Joseph then appointed Lieutenant General Vasilevsky as acting chief of the General Staff and ordered him to immediately draw up a counteroffensive operational plan.

The guiding ideology of the counteroffensive of the Russian troops was to simultaneously crush the most dangerous assault groups of the German Army Group "Center" that threatened Moscow from the north and south, respectively.

The basic tasks of the counteroffensive were given to the Western Front.

The Kalinin Front and the Southwestern Front carried out assaults to the north and south, respectively.

On January 7, 1942, Russian forces recaptured Kalinin, north of Moscow.

At the beginning of January, the counteroffensive in the western strategic direction was completed.

By this time, exhausted German troops had retreated to a distance of 100 to 250 kilometers.

The Germans panicked with 38 German divisions, including 15 tank and motorized divisions, and the defeat of the assault group attacking Moscow, which caused the Germans to panic.

However, due to the lack of experience in carrying out large-scale offensive operations and the lack of rapid corps, the Soviet Russian troops were unable to fully complete the task assigned to them to encircle and annihilate the basic strength of Army Group "Center".

But it was also at this time that the news of the bombing of Tokyo came.

In addition, the third batch of supplies from Wakanda directly crushed the blockade of the German Navy and arrived in England, and the Schette Division of Army Group A of the Wakanda Expeditionary Force began to help the British form a counteroffensive.

Army Group B went straight into Africa to support the Free French forces.

These three pieces of news were extremely morale-boosting throughout Europe.

Even Joseph, who had always been hard-mouthed, said cheerfully to his lackey Yezhov in the Kremlin: "The Germans are finished." ”

That's right, the war began to take a complete turn as the United States entered the game, shattering the Japanese dream of expansion in the Pacific direction, and as Wakanda's military supplies arrived in England and their troops began to bombard the Germans' territory in North Africa.

But what Soviet Russia couldn't dream of.

At this juncture, German reinforcements (12 divisions and 2 brigades) from Western Europe and troops on the northern flank of Army Group Center carried out a powerful counter-assault on them.

The situation of the Soviet and Russian troops, which were caught off guard, deteriorated rapidly.

The Supreme Command of the Soviet and Russian forces was shocked when they heard the news, and they quickly ordered the West to move to the defense and withdraw the combat units on the outer front.

In other words, when all the fronts were red, only Soviet Russia was sharply knocked back by the Germans at the last moment.

The stick didn't interfere with the overall situation, but it hit Joseph in the face.

Han Huaiyi was speechless, so he called Moscow in person: "Can you do it?" ”

Joseph!!!

Provoked, he was immediately discouraged, and the Battle of Rzhev-Sechovka, which was historically overshadowed by the light of the Battle of Stalingrad, began.

This war, in which Soviet Russia paid the price of two million casualties, sounded the death knell of the end of Germany's land on the eastern front of Soviet Russia.

But that's something that doesn't come out until the end of the year.

Prior to this, Meiwa used the bombing of Tokyo as an excuse to hold an anti-**** alliance meeting in Washington.

This meeting came several months later than in history, and it should have been brought out at the beginning of this year.

But Han Huaiyi believes that there must be merit.

In addition, he believed that the time had come for the establishment of the United Nations.

That's why they postponed the meeting until after the Battle of Midway.

In fact, the Battle of Midway was supposed to have been fought later. At the same time, the butterfly effect was caused by the bombing of Midway and Tokyo, and the Japanese forces in the Far East were confused, resulting in Hong Kong not yet falling.

March 1.

Representatives of 26 countries, including President Roosevelt, Han Huaiyi, Litvinov, Britain (Churchill), and China (Soong Tzu-wen), gathered in Washington to sign the declaration, and the signatories unanimously endorsed the purposes and principles of the "Atlantic Charter."

In the manifesto, everyone declared:

1. To ensure the use of all military and economic resources against the Axis powers and their client states that are in a state of war with them;

2. Cooperate with each other and not conclude armistice agreements and peace treaties with enemy countries alone. The signing of the declaration marked a decisive factor in the final victory of the anti-*** war.

At this point, the World Anti-*** Alliance was officially established.

This is also the first time Han Huaiyi has met Song Ziwen, the personable "uncle of the country".

Born in 1894, he is now almost 50 years old. {Please help vote for Dayu Tianxing}

After the Pacific War, he served as the foreign minister and was stationed in New York, and he always wanted to see Han Huaiyi but to no avail, because the two dogs tossed this and that, and even avoided it.

Song Ziwen is a smart person, and he felt Han Huaiyi's deliberate indifference from Jason's words, so he died.

But he finally saw the legendary Charles himself through this meeting.
