"We can't wait! Because the situation is getting more and more favorable for us! We want to destroy the will of the Soviet army to resist and occupy Moscow! Rundstedt said to his subordinates in his headquarters with his hands behind his back.

Standing in front of him were all the most famous German commanders in history, except for Guderian, the commander of Group G, who was not present, the other officers were here.

Say, the commander of the 9th Army, Adolf? General Strauss, the commander of the 4th Army, Field Marshal Kluge, and the commander of the 3rd Panzer Group, Hermann? General Holt.

Of course, General Manstein, who had been following behind Army Group Center as a surprise soldier, was also in the conference room.

This general, who was valued by the Führer, was branded as the Führer's henchman at this moment, just like Rommel and Guderian.

As relatively young Führer faction generals, they are outliers in front of the old aristocratic generals, but they are talented outliers.

Rundstedt felt good about generals like Rommel and Manstein, similar to the appreciation that a teacher has for a good student.

After all, the officers of the Führer's faction, one underpinned the current good situation in North Africa; The other was at the vanguard of Rundstedt.

And General Manstein, in the war against France, also showed his very outstanding war planning talent.

Therefore, as long as the senior commanders in the upper echelons of the army are not blind, as long as they still have a little conscience, they know that the three of them are almost the next batch of candidates to be promoted to marshals.

Although the Army is a place that pays attention to seniority, it is also a place that pays attention to military achievements. It is clear that these three men are the future of the German Army, the invincible troika of the Führer.

"Your Excellency, Army Group North's supporting firepower has been allocated to us! It's time to show the Soviets a little bit of our power. Marshal Kluge said confidently.

His 4th Army had just been strengthened, with five corps and four divisions under its command, with a total strength of more than 25 divisions.

Compared to General Manstein, Marshal Kluge was less competent. However, he was a veteran field marshal, and Marshal Rundstedt was promoted in a batch.

And the only talent of this veteran marshal was loyalty to the Führer - whether he hesitated after 44 years or not, but in 1941 he was loyal, and the loyalty was almost a little wooden.

Therefore, in fact, Hitler's infiltration and strategy of the German Army had been carried out for a long time.

In the process, the German army had brilliant victories and heavy defeats. In the end, at the end of the relationship, the army and the Führer, who were inseparable enemies, finally turned their faces and parted ways.

The result was a vicious circle: the betrayal of the army made the Führer suspicious; The Führer's paranoia prompted him to tighten his grip on the army; The Führer's infiltration of the Army aggravated the Army's dissatisfaction with the Führer; This growing discontent led to more serious sentences for the Army......

But the good news is that at this time it was 1941, and the army's betrayal psychology was resolved a lot by Li Le, and the cooperation between the two sides is still relatively pleasant.

Of course, the victory in the war, as well as the Führer's unique views on military affairs, also became a good medicine for bridging the gap between the army and the high command.

Hearing Kluge's suggestion, Marshal Rundstedt nodded and spoke: "The Führer's order is that before November comes, we need to take Moscow, and we need to speed up the offensive!" ”

According to the plan, the Germans were supposed to completely encircle Moscow by the end of June and seize all of Moscow's outer defensive positions.

Obviously, now the progress of the German army has slowed down by half a beat, and they have only 20 days to complete this plan.

But around Moscow, there are still several cities that have not been captured. The whole of Moscow is far from being completely surrounded, and there is still a large piece of vacancy.

"Guderian's cluster attack should be accelerated! Also, send a telegram to Marshal Loeb asking them to cross the Ivankov reservoir as soon as possible and surround the north of Moscow! Rundstedt pointed to the map hanging behind him and said to the commanders in front of him.

"Starting tomorrow, General Strauss, who is on the main offensive mission, your troops will begin to attack the western regions of Moscow and recapture the positions we gave up before!" He said as he looked at General Strauss

General Strauss hurriedly took a step forward and raised his arm: "Long live the Führer!" Yes, sir! My marshal! ”

"Marshal Kluger, your troops, as reserves, are ready to go into battle at any time! I hope that when July comes, we can launch a larger assault on Moscow. Marshal Rundstedt looked at Marshal Kluge and said.

Seeing Marshal Kluge nodding, he continued to command: "Then, let's use the railway cannon to greet the Soviets in Moscow and tell them that the real test has begun!" ”

The heavy artillery group used by Army Group North to attack Leningrad was transferred to Army Group Center.

This heavy artillery support unit consists of 10 K5 railway guns and 2 K12 railway guns. In addition, there are 280 mm old train guns, nicknamed Bruno, and the number is only three.

Despite the small number of these guns, they are almost the entire strength of what the Germans can now call a new type of railway artillery.

The rest of the train guns are grandfather-level technology, not to mention that they can't keep up with the needs of the troops, and their performance indicators are also low. Most of this type of artillery was assigned to Army Group South and fought against Zhukov's group.

It was precisely because the war on the Western Front was over that the German army was able to draw so many railway guns to participate in the war on the Eastern Front.

Not much to say, the K5 railway cannon is the best railway cannon in the hands of the German army. Although the performance of the K12 is average, it can be regarded as an artillery giant on land.

With the addition of these two types of artillery, the firepower of the German heavy artillery group was more fierce and the destructive power was stronger.

Khrushchev and Konev, who were still suffering from the increasing number of German air raids, did not know that the Germans were already preparing new problems for them.

And this kind of problem, which could not be intercepted by Soviet anti-aircraft guns, and was not afraid of bad weather such as rain, could open fire at any time part of the day and night, greeting most of the Soviet positions in Moscow.

After all, the firing range of these guns is tens of kilometers away - the shelling radius covers most of Moscow, and the power is very huge.
