On the same day, German tanks advanced to the center of Moscow, just 1 kilometer away from Red Square.

"You didn't even hold the Moskva River! What's the use of you coming and telling me now? The Germans have already crossed the river, what is the use? "Khrushchev heard Konev's report about the collapse of the Moscow line of defense and shouted hysterically.

He wasn't ready to die, and he didn't want to die with the city just like that.

So, when he heard that the Germans had advanced into the center of Moscow, the fear in his heart welled up like a volcanic eruption, covering the last shred of his sanity.

"Let the civilians fight back with arms! In any case, recapture the lost positions! Drive the Germans back to the outskirts! He looked at the few political commissars beside him, and ordered desperately,

The entire city of Moscow is now in ruins. From time to time, civilians and troops stoodled through the rubble, stray bullets hitting the walls, leaving mottled marks.

German tanks and armored vehicles had taken control of many streets, and the barricades at the intersections had become nodes for the Germans to divide and encircle the streets and residential areas.

The battle has reached this point, and the Soviet army has begun to collapse in formation, so it is impossible to organize a large-scale counterattack.

It's a pity that Khrushchev didn't know all this, he only knew that his end was coming - the Germans would burst into his office at a certain second and shoot him into a sieve.

"We have lost control of most of the civilian forces, the Germans are compressing our defensive positions in all directions, and many civilians have lost their weapons and have chosen to surrender." Konev said with a wry smile.

Isn't it a joke to expect that the regular army is surrendering one company after another, and even some battalion-level units are collapsing and disappearing in an instant.

In fact, the civilian armed forces collapsed and dissipated more quickly after they were in disarray. These civilians discarded their weapons and ran into areas controlled by German troops, posing as ordinary civilians and even receiving relief food distributed by Germany.

In this case, it would be a fool's dream to have civilians as the main force to resist the German offensive.

Civilians without heavy weapons simply could not cope with the armored vehicles of the German army. They were easily routed, which also led to the rout of the regular Soviet army, which had lost its flanks.

While Khrushchev roared in his office, German soldiers were strafing the Soviet troops as headless flies were in the makeshift defensive line built on top of the rubble.

The Soviets tried to regain their lost positions with a counterattack and drive the Germans back across the Moskva River.

It's a pity that their counterattack forces are scattered, and there is not enough tank cover, and even the front-line positions of the German army cannot break through.

The streets were littered with the corpses of Soviet soldiers, but they still did not get close to the German positions.

They put little pressure on the Germans, let alone forced them to retreat.

The MG-42 machine gun roared incessantly, and the unique sound made the Soviet soldiers creepy. The heavy artillery shelling of the German army, which seemed to have long been accustomed to it, also became sharper at this time.

The Soviet soldiers finally realized that it was impossible for them to retake their positions.

No matter how much the commanders and commissars of the Soviet army urged their troops to advance, the remaining Soviet troops were unwilling to break out of their trenches again.

Both sides stopped in a fantastic position, the Germans stopped their frantic strafing, and the Soviets stopped shouting and charging.

"Replace the barrel! Shift the positions of light machine guns! The Soviets didn't know what to think again! Get ready for the next battle! The German commander put down his binoculars and reminded his men loudly.

At his shout, the German soldiers quickly replaced their weapons with new magazines, and the machine gun team also seized the time to adjust their machine guns to keep it in a more reliable state.

Behind them, the German mortar shooters, ready to fight, had already pried open the ammunition box, allowing the mortar shells inside to be exposed for a while.

Further afield, German tanks and armored vehicles controlled the nearby ruins and streets, and the crew members were next to the map, discussing the next attack.

After repelling the Soviet counterattack, it was their turn to cover the German infantry to continue their advance - it was only a short distance from Red Square, and if they entered it, the outcome would be clear.

"The Soviets are attacking again!" As a German soldier shouted a warning in front of the position, the battlefield became noisy again.

German light machine guns burst into fire inside the barricades, and bullets swept into the crowd of attacking Soviet soldiers from the side.

Bullets swirled between blood and scraps of flesh, and Soviet soldiers screamed and fell to their bodies.

A new battle begins, but the pattern is almost exactly the same as the one that just happened. It was still the lifeless impact of the Soviet army, and the German army frantically fought back.

Hundreds of people had already been killed here, and the mere smell of blood in the air was proof that too many people had died here.

However, the battle here will not stop until the winner is decided, or until one side gives up.

"Ulla!" In the midst of the dense gunfire, the Soviets once again erupted in hysterical shouts. Countless Soviet soldiers carried their own weapons and jumped out of the ruined trenches where they were hiding.

These Soviet soldiers, armed with bright bayonets, rushed to the German defensive positions.

It's just that after they stepped over the corpses of their comrades, they also fell further ahead.

One after another, one after another, these Soviet soldiers did not flinch in the rain of bullets, which made the German soldiers who held their positions a little panicked.

"Boom! Rumble! "Just when the enemy attack was at its most intense, German artillery support fell from the sky. Dozens of 150 mm howitzer shells exploded and instantly overwhelmed the charging Soviet troops.

After the shells exploded, the battlefield was quiet. The Soviets have been repulsed several rounds of assault in a row, and now both sides are preparing for the next battle.

The Germans transported boxes of weapons and ammunition to their front-line positions and distributed them to every soldier who was fighting.

On the other side, the already hysterical Soviet army is mobilizing more soldiers and preparing for the last preparations for the next larger-scale counterattack.
