Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Gentlemen, how long will it take for our army to enter the Eastern European plains? Our allies are seizing territory on the Eastern European plains. They have even formed a special force composed mainly of armored forces and are marching towards Moscow! What should we do?  How can we stop them?" At the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Kaiser Wilhelm II convened Germany's top leaders to discuss the current Russian issues.

    For Germany, the war on the Western Front has basically come to an end. This is undoubtedly a relief for Germany.  What they have to do now is to reap the fruits of victory!  Russia has surrendered to the Allies. As long as the German army goes to the Russian plains of Eastern Europe, it can occupy those fertile lands.  However, China does not seem to intend to give up the Eastern European plains, and is desperately trying to seize more land before the German army enters the Eastern European plains.  This made the German side very dissatisfied, believing that their interests had been harmed.  For this reason, the German government specifically asked the German Ambassador to China to protest to the Chinese side. However, it seems that the German protest has no effect at all!

    "Your Majesty, the 8th Army has begun to advance towards Russia! However, the 8th Army only has 300,000 people, and it is difficult to occupy the vast Eastern European plains. The 5th Army and the 4th Army are being transferred to eastern Germany via railway. However, as soon as they come out  After crossing the German border, the poor roads in Russia seriously slowed down our speed. We cannot send the main force to the Eastern European plains in a short time!" said Field Marshal Falkenhayn, Chief of the German General Staff.  After France surrendered, he was finally promoted to marshal as he wished, which made him very satisfied.  However, after being promoted to marshal, he immediately faced the problem of occupying Eastern Europe.

    "Chief of Staff, I don't want to hear reasons. I only need an answer, that is, can we occupy Moscow before the Chinese do?" Kaiser Wilhelm II asked.  This is related to Germany's face. Russia surrendered to Germany and the Allies. If the Chinese occupied Moscow first, it would be a heavy blow to Germany's reputation!

    "Your Majesty, the 8th Army is still two hundred and fifty kilometers away from Minsk and thousands of kilometers away from Moscow. In addition, our advancement speed is far unable to compare with China. We must capture Moscow before the Chinese.  Not very realistic!" Field Marshal Falkenhayn replied honestly.  At this time, he didn't dare to boast about Haikou anymore.  If you talk big but fail to realize it in the end, you will be in trouble!

    Hearing this answer, Kaiser Wilhelm II frowned.  Obviously, this answer did not satisfy him!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, can we do what the Chinese did and send armored and cavalry units to form separate formations and march towards Moscow with all our strength? In this case, is it possible to seize Moscow before the Chinese do! I think, as long as our troops arrive  Once we reach Moscow, Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian government will immediately surrender to us! In this case, we can legitimately take over Moscow!" Marshal Tirpitz, Minister of the Navy, suggested!

    "Your Excellency Tirpitz, the Chinese are currently advancing at a speed of up to 80 kilometers per day. This is already the limit! We cannot do it. Even if we organize a force composed entirely of cavalry, we cannot exceed this speed.  After all, human physical strength and the physical strength of war horses cannot be maintained for a long time! In addition, supplies are also a big problem!" Field Marshal Falkenhayn said.

    "Damn it! Don't we have any other way? Do we really want to watch those yellow-skinned monkeys capture Moscow and humiliate us? Those yellow-skinned monkeys are too greedy. They have already occupied most of the  world, and now they want to compete with us for Europe! They signed an agreement with us not to interfere in Europe! Those despicable and shameless guys really don't keep their word!" Crown Prince William yelled.  After the war in France ended, Crown Prince William handed over the affairs of the 5th Army to other generals and returned to Germany.  Anyway, his contribution to the German army's defeat of France this time must be indispensable!

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, it seems that the Chinese no longer intend to abide by the original agreement! However, this is understandable. After all, the Chinese only compromised with us in order to stabilize us. Now, the war is almost over.  , and the Chinese no longer have to worry about encountering another defeat. Coupled with China's strong strength, they naturally no longer need to be afraid of us making peace with the Allies! Of course, the Chinese's behavior of not abiding by the agreement and crossing rivers and burning bridges is despicable. We  This must be adhered to in future negotiations!" German Prime Minister Hollweger said.  In fact, top German officials have regarded the agreement signed between China and Germany as a joke.  The Chinese will not abide by this agreement at all. Germany has no expectation that China will abide by it. Anyway, Germany has also received a lot of benefits from China!  If you want to obtain benefits, you don¡¯t need to rely on?The so-called agreement is about the strength of the country!

    "There is no need to talk about this issue anymore! Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I hope that no matter what method is used, we must seize Moscow before the Chinese!" Kaiser Wilhelm II said, revealing an unquestionable flavor in his words.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I will try my best to find a way!" Marshal Falkenhayn had no choice but to bite the bullet and said.

    After that, the German Army transferred 10,000 cavalry from the 8th Army and accelerated its march towards Moscow.  In addition, some tanks, armored vehicles and trucks were also assembled to form a force of more than 10,000 people and marched towards Moscow.  However, the speed of the German army's advance has never been comparable to that of the Chinese army.  Their cavalry speed may still be able to reach 80 kilometers per day, but the armored forces are hindered by the high failure rate, and the speed of their advance has not been increased. By the time they arrive in Moscow, China may have already occupied it!

    The Austro-Hungarian Empire made a very wise choice this time. Seeing that China and Germany were about to stage a battle between dragons and tigers on the Eastern European plains, the Austro-Hungarian Empire stopped marching into the Eastern European plains and turned around to march southward into Ukraine.  The Ukrainian plain is the goal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If this granary can be captured, it will be enough to solve the food problem of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and will be very helpful to improve the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  In addition, this is because the Austro-Hungarian Empire knew that its national power could not compare with Germany and China, so it did not want to get involved in the fight between these two powers.

    On the afternoon of June 19, the Chinese Army¡¯s 10th Armored Brigade, 11th Armored Brigade, 10th Cavalry Brigade, 11th Cavalry Brigade, 1st Infantry Division and 5 cavalry brigades from the five ethnic groups in Central Asia, totaling more than 80,000 troops  Arrive in Lyubezil, about 20 kilometers from Moscow.  General Zhou Shun, commander of the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army, personally directed this attack on Moscow.

    "Commander, according to the intelligence we have received, there are only about 200,000 troops in Moscow, which lack artillery and other heavy weapons. Almost half of them are newly formed troops. We are confident of conquering Moscow!" said Major General Gao Desheng, commander of the 1st Infantry Division of the Chinese Army.  !

    "Where are the Germans? How far are they from Moscow?" General Zhou Shun asked.  He knew that taking Moscow would not put any pressure on the Chinese army.  The real difficulty lies in how to deal with the Germans after they arrive. It is necessary to ensure that the Chinese army occupies Moscow, but at the same time it is also necessary to avoid a fierce conflict with the Germans to avoid causing a war!

    "Commander, the German cavalry troops are still two hundred kilometers away from Moscow. Moreover, they seem to be exhausted. They are not expected to arrive in Moscow until three days later! As for the German armored troops, they are even further away from Moscow.  Four hundred kilometers! We have enough time to take Moscow!" Major General Gao Desheng said.

    "Then, order the troops to prepare and launch an attack on Moscow in one hour!" General Zhou Shun looked at the sky and said.  It is already 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The troops have an hour to rest and recover their strength before launching an attack.  It gets dark relatively late in the summer, so a few hours should be enough for the Chinese army to invade Moscow!

    At 4 pm on June 19, the Chinese Army assembled hundreds of heavy artillery and fired on Moscow!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Heavy artillery shells exploded on the Russian army's position, splashing up balls of fire, and the shrapnel after the explosion of the shells destroyed everything wantonly.

    On the Russian army¡¯s position, many Russian soldiers holding rifles were huddled in the trenches and shivering.  They didn't know why the war continued even though Russia had surrendered.  Many Russian soldiers are already tired of this war. They just want to return to the countryside to farm. Although life is a little harder, their lives are not in danger!

    After half an hour of shelling, the 10th Armored and 11th Armored Brigades of the Chinese Army launched an attack on the Russian position.  The armored force's attack made it impossible for the Russian army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, to resist.  A large number of Russian troops either surrendered to the Chinese army or fled back to Moscow in embarrassment. The entire battlefield was completely one-sided!

    At 5:45 pm, the 10th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army took the lead, broke through the Russian army¡¯s positions outside Moscow, and invaded the city of Moscow.  Moscow is a big city. If the Russian army is determined to fight the Chinese army to the end, it will cause a lot of trouble to the entire army.  However, the Russian army seemed to have no intention of fighting at all. There were very few defenses in the city, almost blank, which allowed the Chinese army to march straight in!  (To be continued.
