Hearing Konev's words, the civil officials almost didn't speak, and they now knew how much time they had left......

Compared with the military, the civil officers are not clean. On the one hand, they were most active in jumping up and down during the Great Purge, and on the other hand, because of their own complex composition.

The Great Purge helped Stalin weed out dissidents and many capable or honest officials. Aside from the fact that the rest of the people are loyal to Stalin, the other conditions are really not very prominent.

Although everyone had heard of the Germans using local officials, surrender was not a safe thing.

At least what is certain is that if the reputation is not good and the public resentment is high, then the German army will comply with the will of the Soviet civil officials.

It is no longer news that the Germans sent uncooperative or cooperating, but too incompetent officials, to concentration camps.

For a while, everyone was thinking about their own way out in a month or two later, and no one jumped out to sneer anymore.

The meeting continued at this time, and Soviet officers in other directions began to report on the state of the war in their areas of responsibility.

Although the German army on the southern front did not advance too quickly, it fought very steadily. They marched north along Guild Street, occupying important neighborhoods such as libraries and shopping malls.

The change of German defense on this side was almost complete, and the attacking force was handed over to the infantry under Army Group Center. Because of the support of artillery and the relatively weak defense of the Soviet army, the advance was very fast.

The expression on Konev's face when he heard the news was even more helpless, if he filled the 100,000 troops in his hand to the southern front, then the mobile defense force would be even less.

Sadly, the situation on the southern front is only the beginning - the situation in the north is not optimistic, and it can even be said to be more dangerous.

The Yauza River was one of the most important defensive barriers of the Soviet army on the Northern Front. Counting the Lihoborka River, a relatively solid line of defense was formed.

But there was an end to this line of defense, and at the end of it was the birthplace of the Lihoborka River, on the heights near the Golovinskoye cemetery.

The main direction of attack of the forward units of Army Group North was also chosen in this area. The Germans cut back west along the Lihoborka River into the Soviet lines, using tanks as cover, and captured this height.

As a result of such an attack, a small encirclement was formed in the midst of the large encirclement of Moscow.

The 5th Guards Division of the Soviet Army, as well as a number of unformed regimental and battalion-sized units in the surrounding area, were surrounded at the Levo Beleg railway station.

Although the Germans had not yet taken the following Vobeleg railway station, it was only a matter of time before it was occupied by the Germans, as the ammunition of the 5th Guards Division was running out.

The loss of the Levo Beleg railway station meant that the Germans occupied another railway station close to the Moscow front, and the dispatch of supplies was more convenient.

And this is not the most deadly, the most lethal thing is that Army Group North, which holds the heights of the Golovinskoye cemetery in its hands, can break through the Lihoborka line from the flank at any time.

Attacking south from the vicinity of this high ground will lead you directly into the park in the southern part of the highlands, where the terrain is similar to the wilderness and more suitable for German warfare.

Once the area was occupied by the Germans, the Soviets' disadvantage became even more apparent: just sweep two blocks to the east, and another bigger park was in sight!

The German armoured forces would sweep across the entire Soviet northern defensive line, leaving Konev's carefully arranged northern defensive line to pieces......

"The northern defense line needs reinforcements, and I plan to directly reinforce 30,000 people! If it is possible, recapture the heights of the Golovenskoye cemetery...... "Konev hardened his head and prepared to launch a counterattack to recapture that important high and low.

Unfortunately, his plan was not favored by everyone, and the commander of the Yauza River defense line to the north was not very convinced that a counterattack could repel the Germans.

He shook his head and said to Konev: "Comrade commander...... In field conditions, we will suffer even more serious setbacks against the armored forces of the German army. ”

The fiasco of the battle for Red Tekach is still fresh in our minds, and the shadow of General Rokossovsky's death looms like a dark cloud over every Soviet commander.

Trying to defeat the Germans in field conditions became an almost impossible myth. If given the choice, everyone would prefer to stay in the city.

......Hearing his men say this, Konev knew that he would never regain the cemetery heights.

He must bear the consequences of losing there. Including the fact that the Yauza defense line would completely collapse in a matter of days......

"The battle plan around the cemetery heights, we'll talk about it later." Konev was silent for a few seconds, then changed the subject: "In other directions, is there any unusual movement of the German army?" ”

"A German force has attempted an attack on the city center from the east, and they have not advanced too far, but we have no strength to counterattack the enemy in this direction." The general, who was in charge of the defense of the eastern region of Moscow, opened his mouth to report.

"But the scale of the German offensive was not large, and they did not seem to be ready to break into Moscow in the east." His chief of staff added.

"I see! I know! What happened in the east, if it wasn't for a large-scale German offensive, don't report it......" Konev waved his hand in disappointment.

As a commander, he also has his own limits. Khrushchev had already reached his limit, and the string that was tight in Konev's heart was about to be broken by the heavy pressure.

"If we don't think about it, this weekend, we will only have half of Moscow left!" A general muttered worriedly.

His words were laughing, but Konev heard them. It's a pity that he can't say anything, because if he had any way, he would have taken it out a long time ago.

All he could do now was grit his teeth, guard every street in his hands, restrain every soldier, and spur them to fight until the last moment.

This is the best way for him now, and it is also a passive, passive, and helpless way......

"We can only fight! Stick to every room and fight the enemy! Fight in the streets, fight in the parks, fight the enemy in every corner......" Konev stood up and encouraged each commander tragically: "Fight! And then die a glorious death! ”
