Chapter 827: Capture of Moscow
The Chinese army was bombarded with artillery over there, and there were also battles in other places.
The Germans held out in Stalingrad for half a month.
As long as there is no shortage of supplies, the iron will of the Germans will not break.
Although many elite pilots were deployed to the Western Front to fight the English Eagle and the American Bald Eagle, the German air force on the Eastern Front was still able to compete with the Russians, which allowed transport planes to directly airlift supplies to the German forces near Stalingrad. Coupled with the material support of the sub-base nearby, the Germans miraculously withstood the fierce attack of Soviet Russia after suffering nearly half of their troops killed and wounded.
But that's not all.
After finding out that Huaxia had no intention of sending troops to continue advancing, the Soviet Russian army, which hesitated for a while, continued to pounce despite the battle losses of more than 400,000.
The Germans had already drawn 300,000 reinforcements south from the vicinity of Moscow, which had reached the end of the final stage. Another 300,000 new coalition troops were rushing to Stalingrad overnight, and even the southbound force that was going south to conquer the Caucasus oil fields was sent back 30,000 to support.
If we don't take advantage of the arrival of reinforcements to eliminate Paulus's less than 100,000 troops, I'm afraid that the Russians will have to remain passive.
"I don't need this cane, what I need is reinforcements, even a division, or even a brigade! If there are no reinforcements before Christmas, I'm afraid the Russians will rush here and take me prisoner! Paulus tapped the marshal's cane sent by Lao Xi and shouted tiredly.
Almost half of his less than 100,000 troops were wounded, and if it weren't for the nearly 200,000 or so reinforcements of Manstein not far to the west, who had hope of survival, I am afraid they would never have been able to hold on.
Lao Xi had already ordered the two sides to meet, but although the Soviet Russians' Southwestern Front and Stalingrad Front did not succeed in meeting, they also blocked the vicinity of Karachi and blocked the passage of Manstein's division with Paulus with the flesh and blood of 200,000 Soviet Russian troops.
Karachi has become another grinding disc for the land of the Fourth World War. There was no one to occupy here, only dead bodies all over the ground.
If the 150,000 troops had not been transferred into Army Group A to the south, Manstein would still be able to attack, but now the low temperature of minus 45 degrees seems to have frozen the wheels of the German tanks, and under the continuous frantic counterattack of the Russians, it is difficult to go further, and even the defense line is shaky.
The less than 300,000 disabled German troops were facing the 1.1 million Soviet troops that were being filled one after another, and to the east of the Volga River, which was frozen thickly, there were still 600,000 Soviet troops coming.
If there are no accidents, I am afraid that the Russians will continue to write the classics of history and complete the strategic reversal against Germany.
But in this era, with Goldfinger, there is a miracle.
On December 24th, Lao Xi got his Christmas present.
Moscow was completely captured.
This time it was the real complete occupation by Germany, not the joke that had been made two months earlier.
When Goering announced to the camera on Red Square that Moscow had been occupied by the Germans, he was embarrassed by shells from a corner of Moscow. Then the clear telegram sent by the Moscow army, which was still holding out in Moscow, to the outside world, caused the Germans to lose face.
And this time, the military boots of the Germans have already stepped on every inch of Moscow, and it can quite be said that they have completely occupied the red heart.
In addition to the fact that the weather is freezing and it is difficult for the Soviet Russians who have lost their supplies to support them, there is no lack of Meng Xiang's driving force in it.
Since the new sub-base was extended to Moscow, Red Alert buildings have been built on the ruins of Moscow.
The Red Alert building of the third-level base has not only made great progress in camouflage, but also can lurk underground, which makes them invisible in the many ruins and difficult to detect.
At the beginning, considering that the Germans were too strong and overturned the Russians, it was easy to scare the ill-prepared Americans, so under Meng Xiang's instructions, the sub-base building here also gave a lot of help to the Russians who held Moscow, so that they could hold on.
It is precisely with these help that the spies who pulled the line have made outstanding achievements, arranged the line to a higher and farther level of the Soviet Russian regime, and were able to successfully complete the task of rescuing some of the Chinese people who were confined to Soviet Russia, and eliminated some hidden dangers inside.
In addition to this, the benefits of helping the Russians were much more than that.
Although when Moscow was evacuated, the Russians came to make a big move. But the situation is urgent, and in a hurry, the wealth left behind by Moscow is still staggering. Even some secret treasures are hidden directly on the spot. The Russians were still counting on fighting back.
And Meng Xiang's support is never free.
Even if the price of various materials doubled or even increased dozens of times, in this case, the Russians were still happy. In the case of a tight blockade by the German army, it would be nice to have supplies.
So the snakes sold all the wealth they knew to the spies and profiteers, in exchange for their weapons, ammunition and medicine, and even some of the liquor and food converted from nutritious meals.
Without the hard currency of gold and silver, the art, antiques and books left over from public buildings and private homes could be exchanged, and even in the end, even factory machines, broken copper and iron, old furniture of some value could be exchanged for a little life-saving material occasionally.
Until Meng Xiang issued an order to revoke the support for the Russians.
"The oil fields can't be owned by the Germans for the time being, but Moscow, this can be had!" Meng Xiang's words tilted the object of sub-base support to the Germans in an all-round way, and also changed the fate of Moscow, a city that was destroyed by two-thirds.
When the Germans searched everywhere, they couldn't help but regret to find that Moscow had been moved really clean by the Russians, and they couldn't find a little wealth that they were happy with. They took over an empty city that was on the verge of ruins.
What is the war for?
Although the world can easily find at least a hundred different answers, in the eyes of the soldiers, there is not enough lure of profit to support it with the heat of the head alone.
Moscow was captured and a political victory was achieved, but the Germans did not gain much.
Many German officers and soldiers snatched wealth from their pockets and converted it into cigarettes, coffee, tea, wine, and other materials printed with the label of Made in China, which flowed into the pockets of Chinese businessmen who followed the German army in business.
Wealth flowed to China, and they got only a piece of ruins and empty pockets.
Even the fat man walked around and didn't find a satisfactory work of art, and he was furious.
"We have already burst the hearts of the Russians, all that remains is to completely conquer Soviet Russia and get back the victories we deserve!" Lao Xi knows how to deceive people, and in the congratulatory words that came, in addition to a long list of words with sacred and glorious words, this sentence made the soldiers excited.
When the German officers and soldiers raised their hands in support of continuing the eastward offensive to recapture the transferred Tsarist treasures, they did not know that some of Moscow's wealth was buried under their feet.
Although they also got the news that someone was trading, they were more convinced that they were besieged by an iron bucket that could not fly out of even a fly. They can only be classified as rumors, or wealth is buried in the ruins.
Both Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia had the habit of burying their wealth underground. It's just that none of them can bury Meng Xiang deeper this time.
Moscow was surrounded by German troops, and even the planes of the Russians could not be transported by air, and it was difficult to transport the remaining wealth obtained from the sub-bases. Meng Xiang had no choice but to hide them underground for the time being.
The underground construction capabilities gained from the Level 3 base allow some mining vehicles to be transformed into underground mining machines.
The mining vehicles of the sub-bases in Huaxia are now rarely mined, and some of them have been transformed into the main force of many underground projects.
At this time, they also showed their skills in the underground of Moscow, digging treasure rooms at depths of more than 100 meters.
Even when they were working, they also discovered some treasure rooms from the Tsarist period with their exploration functions, which gave Meng Xiang another windfall.
Except for some of the worthless scrap copper and iron that were absorbed by the base for the protection and support of the construction of underground works, those valuable trade goods were piled up in the underground caves that were difficult for the Germans to find, waiting for the opportunity to be transported back to China or sold on the spot.
Such an opportunity came quickly, and in addition to the symbolic stationing of part of the German army in Moscow and the search for underground treasure, the large army was transferred and the blockade was lifted.
The base intervened, leaving the Germans' treasure hunt for the underground and ruins to no avail.
It takes time to clear the ruins, and the search for underground treasures takes time, and it may not be possible to find them, but the vast amount of wealth transferred by the Russians is just around the corner, and it only needs to catch up with them, break through their defenses, and the gold and women will all be there.
The large armies around Moscow continued to send reinforcements to the east or south, and even to Stalingrad again.
It's just that Stalingrad no longer needs this batch of reinforcements.
After receiving the news of the fall of Moscow, the offensive of the Russians was abrupt. The Germans breathed a sigh of relief, and even had a chance to counterattack while reinforcements were arriving.
