    Time finally came to the early morning of August 6, 1936.  At this moment, above the center of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, a fireball that was 1,000 times more dazzling than the sun suddenly rose!  On the broad frontline outside the Soviet capital, millions of soldiers on both sides, armed to the teeth, clutched their weapons tightly, huddled in their trenches or bulletproof fortifications, waiting for the attack to begin.  Germans and Chinese from afar.  It seems that I have become accustomed to fighting under the huge power of nuclear fission bombs. If I don't have this murderous weapon in my hand, I probably won't even be able to fight ordinary battles, right?  The Soviets, with the most desperate mood in history, and a deep hatred for China and Germany, the two imperialist countries that will destroy the Soviet Union and Russia, are nervously waiting for the enemy's attack, or a nuclear bomb!  In fact, every one of them was scared to death and wanted to flee from the trenches immediately, but behind them was Moscow!  Or is Moscow really under nuclear bomb attack?  From a certain perspective, the risk of staying in Moscow is even greater than being at the forefront of a war.

    As the fireball of the nuclear explosion gradually dimmed, countless signal bombs rose almost simultaneously on the front line that was hundreds of kilometers long.  There are various colors, but the symbolic meaning is roughly the same, which is to issue an order to fire to the Chinese and German artillery groups in the rear.  Some time ago, frequent outpost battles and exploratory attacks had already revealed the general situation of the Soviet frontline defenses.  There are hundreds of meters of barbed wire fences and deer villages here, as well as dense minefields.  Tens of millions of anti-tank or anti-infantry mines are buried, as well as anti-tank trenches at least ten meters wide and three meters deep.  The trench fortifications behind the anti-tank trenches are deep and long.  All have air-raid shelters several meters deep underground. Unless nuclear bombs explode directly above them, they will not cause devastating damage to the Soviet officers and soldiers hiding in these air-raid shelters.  Behind the first trench, there are countless anti-tank firepower positions built into circular fortifications.  Some towns that were only on the Soviet defense line were even built into strong fortresses.  In order to tear apart this strong line of defense, China and Germany prepared what may be the most powerful artillery firepower in history.

    At 2:15 in the morning on August 2, that is, 15 minutes after the first nuclear explosion in Moscow (it seems that Moscow will experience many more nuclear explosions).  The artillery groups of China and Germany finally began to roar!

    The entire front began to bloom with countless large and small orange fires.  What followed was an earth-shaking explosion. Looking down from the German artillery observation plane in the air, the scene was still extremely spectacular.  It was as if a violent river of magma had appeared on the front lines covering hundreds of kilometers to the east, south and west of Moscow.  However, the Soviet officers and soldiers who had experienced the terrifying scene caused by the nuclear explosion just now did not take the roar of more than 20,000 cannons from the Chinese and German armies too seriously - their bomb-proof fortifications were  What are ordinary artillery shells that can withstand a nuclear bomb?  What really troubled the Soviet officers on the front line was not the shells that kept falling on their positions.  But the Soviet army's communication command system was completely paralyzed again!  The reason why it is used is again.  This is because this situation has happened many times. Almost every time after a nuclear bomb attack, a large number of power and communication lines in the area near the nuclear explosion will be burned, making it extremely difficult to repair.

    Without telephone and telegraph communication, the troops scattered along hundreds of kilometers of defense lines could not be effectively commanded, and even the Soviet artillery located behind the battle line could not effectively fight back - although the Soviet army already had some measures to deal with it, such as  Replace telegraphs and telephones with horse-riding signal corps.  But it is always inconvenient.

    So 30 minutes after the Sino-German artillery bombardment started, the Soviet artillery counterattack still had not started.

    Wu Shi and his Army Group Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Wu Qiwei stood high on a hill.  Use the telescope to look at the rolling fire in front of you.  The Chinese Western Army Group commanded by the two of them has advanced more than 300 kilometers westward in the past 10 days, and has now reached Noginsk, less than 60 kilometers away from Moscow's Red Square.  So I was lucky enough to witness the spectacular scene of a nuclear bomb exploding on the heads of the people of Moscow!

    They just wore radiation-proof glasses and stood on this high ground to watch the spectacular scene of the nuclear bomb explosion.  Both of them were stunned by the fireball that was more dazzling than 1,000 suns. Their mouths were half-opened, like two fools, and they were stunned for a while. They just came to their senses now.  And now they all admire the Soviet Red Army. Under the attack of such terrible weapons, they still persist in resisting!  What a tenacious revolutionary will!

    After a while, Wu Shicai put down the telescope and said loudly to Wu Qiwei: "Qingyun, I didn't expect nuclear bombs to be so terrible! Fortunately, we had this kind of weapon first! Otherwise, we really don't know whether our soldiers can withstand such a blow.  ?" The rumbling sound of cannons almost covered up his voice.  But Wu Qiwei still understoodAfter understanding what he meant, he replied with a wry smile: "Mr. Yu, I think the question is not whether the soldiers can bear it, but whether the common people can bear it The nuclear bomb that just exploded was dropped in the center of Moscow. At least it killed  Hundreds of thousands of people died! Who else but the Soviet Union, a Bolshevik country, could bear such a price?"

    Wu Shi frowned and muttered: "More than a hundred thousand people are really cruel. Most of them are unarmed civilians! But what can Trotsky do? We are not willing to give the Russian nation a chance to  The only way out for them is to fight to the end However, as long as nuclear bombs continue to be dropped, there will always be Red Army generals who are willing to end the suffering of the Russian nation earlier." He paused and then said: "Qing  Yun, were the leaflets urging surrender used to be shot out with cannon?"

    ¡°I¡¯ve already typed it out, but I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t get any response today.¡±

    "Don't be anxious, you will always get a response!" Wu Shi waved his hand and took the lead to walk down the hillside: "Let's go to the front to see how the armored soldiers and armored grenadiers are preparing. Although there are already nuclear fission bombs  , but it doesn¡¯t mean that we can conquer the world with nuclear bomb packages, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have to bring millions of brothers to fight all the way from the east of the Ural Mountains!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Just when the artillery bombardment began, the Chinese Army's Western Army Group located on the battlefield east of Moscow also began to prepare for the ground attack.  As tanks, tank destroyers, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles and trucks hiding in the woods, wheat fields and towns with camouflage nets hanging on them came out of hiding, large numbers of infantry began to gather amidst the whistles of the officers.  , looking west from a high place, the front of the front line, which is hundreds of kilometers wide, is full of officers, soldiers and vehicles of the Chinese offensive troops.

    When Wu Shi and Wu Qiwei arrived at the command post of the 2nd Armored Group Army, the group army commander General Liao Lei was making final deployment adjustments with several division commanders and chiefs of staff of the armored divisions and armored grenadier divisions responsible for the lead.  On a large map, important towns east of Moscow such as Red Army City, Losino-Petrovsky, Kupavna, Elektrougly, and Ramenskoye were drawn out.  A long red line - this is the first line of defense laid out by the Soviet army east of Moscow.  Seeing Wu Shi coming in, Liao Lei gave a military salute, then pointed at the red line and said: "Sir Wu, look here, their defense line is on the Great Plains, it can be said that there is no danger, but after yesterday's tentative  During the attack, we found that they had a large number of anti-tank guns, machine guns and infantry. In particular, the anti-tank grenade launchers in the hands of the Soviet infantry were extremely harmful to our Panther tanks and Jaguar tank destroyers in close combat.  Threat. This time I am afraid we will have to fight an unprecedented tough battle."

    Speaking of this Jaguar tank destroyer, it is actually the product of Germany exporting technology to China, but it is not produced through official cooperation between the two countries.  Instead, several heavy industry cartels in Germany participated in the bidding for new generation tanks (tank destroyers) from China and Germany at the same time. Among them, the 40-ton tank chassis of the man company was favored by the armies of China and Germany at the same time. As a result, China Heavy Industry  In conjunction with the Man Company, this chassis was used to develop a Cheetah tank destroyer with a combat weight of up to 45.5 tons. It is equipped with an 88mm tank gun with a caliber of 71 times. Even at a distance of 2,000 meters, tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets are still capable of defeating the target.  Can easily penetrate 153mm homogeneous steel plate.  The German Man Company independently developed a Panther tank based on this tank chassis with the same total combat weight and equipped with a 75mm main gun with a caliber of 70 times.  These two armored combat vehicles are produced in both China and Germany, but China's production is relatively low. As of the end of July 1936, a total of less than 500 Panther tanks and more than 700 Jaguar tank destroyers had been produced.  Germany's production is several times greater, so much so that the German Army Armored Forces have adopted Panther tanks and Cheetah tank destroyers as their main models. Unlike the Chinese armored forces, each division only has one battalion of Panthers/Cheetahs, which are treasures.  Just like holding it in the palm of your hand, you are afraid of being beaten and broken.  Therefore, in the past, we did not dare to use the Panthers and Cheetahs to attack the Soviet positions. They only used their main guns to bombard the opponent's fire points at a distance of 1000 meters to 1500 meters, acting as self-propelled artillery.  But this time, Wu Shi ordered Liao Lei to use the precious black panther/cheetah to carry out an assault in order to break through the Soviet defense line in one fell swoop!  (To be continued)
