"Lenino? Have you moved the headquarters to Moscow City?" Stalin reacted very strongly to Zhukov's words. He thought that at least most of the south of Moscow City should still be in the hands of the Soviet army, but now he knows the truth and knows it. The Germans have already captured Razvirka, Butovo, and have even hit Biryulev.
"Yes! The Germans took Butuowo from our hands ten days ago. If you don't know, I can tell you with certainty that the counterattack in Bica Park failed. Now the Germans Controlling there, the 150mm caliber howitzer that shelled the Kremlin this morning should have been launched from there. "Zhukov smiled bitterly, and then told all he knew to Stalin who was still in the dark.
It was really terrible news, Stalin stumbled, and then looked at Zhukov, hoping to see something from the other party's face, but he failed. Obviously Zhukov said these words very bastard, there was no change in his look.
"How long has it been from the nearest German troops?" Stalin, who had been stimulated, seemed to quickly adapt to Zhukov's collapse therapy. He did not thunder as much as he did in the past, nor did he collapse, even with a larger mood swing They didn't show up, just calmly asked Zhu Kefu who said everything: "I still don't know anything about you, let's say it together."
"According to some other channels on the radio, we can confirm that Siberia has rebelled, and the current attitude of the Far East is also ambiguous." Zhukov was even more singular: "The reinforcements you have been looking forward to simply cannot come, and The Germans captured the Vorontsov Park a day ago ... "
"A German infantry battalion is now infiltrating the neighborhood near Vorontsov Park. The nearest troops are only 1 km away from Lemenosov Street." The news was still found on the way to Zhukov Case. At that time when his car drove across the bridge to the east bank of the Moscow River, he heard the sound of gunfire from there.
Lemenosov Avenue is the core of another Moscow defense system. If the Germans really won this street, there would not be much distance to the Moscow River. At that time, perhaps larger mortars could hit the Kremlin, the core of Moscow.
When Stalin heard the terrible news, he didn't say much. He just listened quietly to Zhukov's news that it would be so bad that he couldn't be worse, and he kept telling him. Zhukov was not very clear about the operations of the German troops in northern Moscow, and Vatuktin did not report more information to Zhukov, who was scorched.
This poor Soviet Marshal may have at most 10 divisions in his hands, and some of these troops are dissatisfied. He insisted on defending near Leninno, causing a lot of casualties to the Germans, but the Germans did not retreat because of the large casualties, but strengthened the intensity of the attack nearby.
"Our troops are not enough to defend the existing defensive positions. We must retreat and give up some of the burden, focusing on the positions near Nasimov Avenue." Zhukov pointed to a huge city defense map hanging on the wall of Stalin, right Stalin said.
The location where his finger was pressed is still marked with many defensive units on the map, and farther away, they are still marked under the control of the Soviet army. It's a pity that most of those places are now occupied by the Germans, and those reserves that show a lot of numbers are actually already consumed by more than half.
In fact, the Soviet Union ’s remaining operational strength is not much. Some of the original Moscow City Defense Forces, some of Vasilevsky ’s hands, plus Zhukov and Konev ’s forces. The rest of the seemingly alarming amount of defensive forces are actually civilian armaments without heavy weapons.
To put it bluntly, these troops are only the most combatless infantry with guns in their hands. There are not many systematic logistics and supplements, and there is no unified command and scheduling. It is difficult for these troops to play any role in the defense process. In the face of German tanks, these temporary armaments and even basic anti-tank firepower can easily be killed by groups of experienced German infantry.
Officials show that there were about 519 German soldiers killed and missing on July 15th, and the reported number of Soviet soldiers killed as many as 4,000, for this reason. In the official records of the Soviet Union, there were 600 German soldiers killed on this day, which was not inconsistent with the German army ’s record, but the Soviet army declared only 780 losses in various circumstances. This is because many poor people were fighting in the armed forces. The reason for not getting statistics.
All kinds of corpses lie in the streets and alleys. Some corpses are real civilians. These people come out to find food or do other things, and then they are hit by things like shells or stray bullets. No one cares about dying there. Some are members of the "Moscow Self-Defense Force". They carried a Mosinagan, took a few bullets, and squatted in a corner until they were killed by the Germans or by the Germans who passed by. -They often only have a chance to shoot a shot, and most of the time this shot has no chance to hit the enemy at all.
The number of guns soon became insufficient due to the unlimited expansion of the "Moscow Self-Defense Force". So this unruly "arms expansion" was eventually stopped by Zhukov. Then the highest command in the Moscow theater issued an order to distribute the guns only between the ages of 10 and 65 after registration, and try not to send them to women.
Even so, the Germans still saw and recorded a terrible scene. In a Soviet building, the soldiers guarding basically had no regular soldiers. When the Germans rushed in, they found that 40 young women were fighting with them. There are 15 children and a group of 60-year-old grandpas-they are an integrated company of the "Moscow Self-Defense Force", commanded by a temporarily promoted captain, and the task is to defend this building with little strategic value.
Each of these poor "soldiers" had only 3 to 7 rounds of ammunition. The entire company had only one grenade, no anti-tank weapons and no radio stations. They even retreated when necessary because many people were on crutches. No ability. Some of these people leaned against the wall, some supported their bodies with chairs, and fired at the Germans with their arms in nizi coats. Then some people couldn't even pull the bolts, so they sat there waiting to die.
Surrounded by the Germans, the combative female soldiers shot each other to complete their missions. When the Germans rushed into the room, they only saw blood filled the walls and a whole body of corpses. Soon the building with no roof was occupied by the Germans. Judging from the German operational diaries and official information, the Germans did not capture a captive in this battle.
"Comrade Stalin! We have to let the women and children out of the battlefield ... these people can't do anything at all. They are useless except for wasting the enemy's ammunition." Zhukov also raised the issue of "The Moscow Self-Defense Force" In the matter, these troops have wasted precious ammunition, and they often launch violent charges, increasing casualties.
"This force was organized by the committee, and it was spontaneously established by the citizens of Moscow to fight against the invaders ... I don't think it is necessary to deny the high patriotic enthusiasm. We have very few things left now, Comrade Zhukov." Stalin forehead There was sweat on the upper part, and he shuddered when he spoke, as if he hadn't smoked since he opened his eyes until now.
Zhukov shook his head depressedly and said to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, if you feel that a group of people older than you are using a gun to charge the German position, it is a high patriotic enthusiasm, then I close myself His mouth is okay ... The old people, women and children do n’t even know what fighting is. They just run to the Germans ’position and still have a rifle in their hands. The Germans would shoot without hesitation, killing civilians who would never shoot. "
"Then let them shoot and kill the civilians! It's as if they shot and killed me in a few days!" Stalin finally broke out unbearably. He endured Zhukov's blame only because his imaginary victory broke like a bubble. It ’s just not because he can tolerate others questioning his decision. Of course he knew that some departments were organizing the death of civilians, and this matter was still done under his command.
If this is not done, how was the defense line built hundreds of kilometers outside of Moscow city built? If this is not done, where did the millions of troops in the Moscow theater come from? He Stalin needed a million troops, even if they were unreal, they had no combat power, they were temporarily armed civilians. And in his heart, he rightfully believes that when he needs a million troops, he must have a million troops!
"I allow you to dismiss the Moscow Self-Defense Forces in Leninno area that you think have no effect, but you have no right to deny all the patriotic Self-Defense Forces! Understand?" Stalin stared at Zhukov and asked in a cold tone.
Zhukov knew that he had overdrawn Stalin's trust and mood this time. He did not speak, but stood upright, respecting a solemn military salute to Stalin. Then he turned and walked out of Stalin's room and took his guards out of the underground bunker-this was the last time he and Stalin met.
