In the Battle of Stupino, it not only destroyed the German armored troops, but also opened the door to march towards Moscow. From Stupino to Moscow, it was only a few dozen kilometers. With the advancement speed of the Imperial Army, it was possible to enter Moscow in one to two days. Of course, the prerequisite was to defeat more than two million German-Russian coalition forces entrenched in Moscow.

In Stupino, more than 100,000 German and Russian coalition forces were eliminated by the Imperial Army, and the losses of the Imperial Army were extremely minor. Of course, this battle also included the Imperial Army not only in armored units, but also in the air force. It can be regarded as a good air-ground coordinated drill.

Of course, it is not easy to annihilate more than two million German-Russian coalition forces entrenched in Moscow in one fell swoop. The main reason is that the Imperial Army has too few troops. The two armies plus two armored armies have only a total of more than one million people, only half of the German-Russian coalition forces.

However, the Imperial Army is not without a chance of winning. Among the German-Russian coalition, only one million German troops had strong combat power. The remaining more than one million Russian troops were extremely trash in combat. The elite Russian troops trained by German instructors were completely lost in the previous battles between Volgograd and Volga. The Russian troops are all newly formed recruits. Not only are they insufficient training, but their fighting will is also very low. It is easy to imagine what kind of performance such troops will perform after they go to the battlefield.

Therefore, General Zhang Wei, commander of the Eastern Front of the Imperial Army, decided to encircle Moscow. Surrounding Moscow with more than one million troops with more than two million defenders is undoubtedly a crazy move. This will make the encirclement very weak, and once the German and Russian coalition forces want to break through, the Imperial Army will undoubtedly be difficult to resist.

Of course, General Zhang Wei believes that the German-Russian coalition forces will not give up Moscow easily. Otherwise, they would not have taken a defensive position from the beginning of the battle. This is clearly the rhythm of defending Moscow! This is understandable. After all, Moscow is too important. Once Moscow is occupied by the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will have a support point in the heart of Russia. It only takes winter and launch a large-scale attack next spring. And the demise of Russia is undoubtedly destined. As for Germany, it will also face serious threats from the east.

Although the commanders of several other army groups felt that General Zhang Wei's plan was a bit crazy, they did not object after careful consideration. After all, if they could succeed, they could eliminate more than two million enemy troops in one fell swoop. This is the most victorious victory in the Imperial Army's single battle in history! Everyone also hopes to create history. Although this is a bit difficult, it is not impossible if the timing is well grasped. After all, there are too many Russian troops with low combat power in the German-Russian coalition.

In addition, when the Imperial Army had absolute advantages in artillery, armored forces and air force, the disadvantage of insufficient troops could be easily compensated. Therefore, several army commanders believed that this plan was feasible.

Subsequently, several armies of the Imperial Army began to continue to march towards Moscow. The six armies were directly divided into six arrows and attacked my peripheral cities in Moscow. The six armies of the two armies were also split. Each armoured brigade was assigned to an army to strengthen the offensive force. After all, when the German armored troops had been annihilated, the armored troops of the Imperial Army had to face were infantry of the German-Russian coalition forces. It was meaningless to maintain the organization of large armored troops.

On September 24, the Imperial Army approached the periphery of Moscow. The 1st Army took the lead in capturing Lyuberchi and blocked the passage in southeastern Moscow. The 2nd Army of the Imperial Army captured Okinzovo and blocked the passage in southwestern Moscow. The other four armies also captured Barashiha, Metihi, Shimki and Krasnogorsk, occupying all the outer cities of Moscow in one fell swoop. When the Imperial Army captured these outer cities, the resistance of the German and Russian coalition was not fierce, and it can be described as a strife. Through the captured prisoners, the Imperial Army learned that the Russian troops were sent to the outer defense of Moscow. The German troops were defending the city of Moscow.

It is obvious that these Russian troops were treated as cannon fodder. The Germans hoped to use them to delay the operations of the Imperial Army. However, unfortunately, these Russian troops could not even delay. The Imperial Army solved hundreds of thousands of people one after another, but it was useless.

By September 25, Moscow was surrounded. Of course, because of the small number of troops siege Moscow, the encirclement of the Imperial Army seemed very weak. As long as the German and Russian coalition forces were willing, they could completely break through the Imperial Army's encirclement. However, more than 2,000 tanks of the Imperial Army were deployed on the periphery of Moscow. As long as the German and Russian coalition forces dared to break through, they would face the encirclement of the Imperial Army's armored forces. After losing all the armored forces, it was simply a dream for the German and Russian coalition forces to fight against the Imperial Army in the field.

Therefore, the Imperial Army was not afraid of the German-Russian coalition forces breaking through, but instead wanted them to break through. The more German-Russian coalition forces broke through, the more German-Russian coalition forces were eliminated in the field. In this way, the smaller the resistance they encountered when attacking Moscow.

The Supreme Command of the Empire, the Empire Emperor Long Yu arrived here and listened to the General Staff’s deployment for the next stage of combat.

"Your Majesty, at present, as we land more and more troops on the Western Front, we have stabilized the front. We plan to drive the German army out of the Kingdom of Belgium and France before this winter, and restore the front until the war begins. Then, we will start winter. After the winter is over, we will launch a large-scale attack on Germany's homeland next year. As for the Eastern Front battlefield, after the end of this Moscow Battle, we will switch to defense throughout the line and launch a new offensive until next spring." General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Staff, said.

Long Yufei nodded. He was more aware of such a combat plan. As a later generation who traveled back, he knew better than others how terrifying Russian winter was. People in this world only knew that Napoleon's hundreds of thousands of troops suffered a crushing defeat in Moscow decades ago. However, Long Yufei knew that decades later, even the millions of troops of the head of state had also suffered a fall in Russia! The technological strength and the power of weapons and equipment at that time were definitely more advanced than the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army today. But it still failed in the end. This made Long Yufei careless!

Therefore, when dealing with Russia, Long Yufei has always adopted a cautious attitude. Through many wars, he weakened Russia bit by bit, and then launched a fatal attack on them after Russia's strength was severely weakened. Instead of taking risky attacks from the beginning as some radical generals of the military thought. Although, if successful, the empire can achieve great success and end the war at the minimum cost. However, if it fails, it will undoubtedly cause the empire to suffer heavy losses.

Long Yufei hopes that the empire can end this war smoothly, even if it pays more for it, it is acceptable. After all, the empire is the world's largest power, not only with the largest population, the most powerful industry, and the largest territory in the world. If you fight for consumption, the empire will be the one who wins in the end. In this case, the empire naturally doesn't have to take risks anymore.

"How was the Battle of Moscow?" Long Yufei asked. After all, on the Eastern Front battlefield, the Empire has only invested six armies and two armored armies. Such troops are too few than the enemy. Even Russia had two million people before the war began. After the war broke out, it mobilized two million people again. After the Battle of Volgograd, it was urgently mobilized two million people again. In total, it would be six million people. In addition to the troops sent by the Germans to the Eastern Front, the total strength of the German-Russian coalition undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.

"Your Majesty, I just got the latest news that the Imperial Army has surrounded Moscow. All the German and Russian coalition forces have been contracted in the city of Moscow." General Liu Zhongming said.

"Oh? The German-Russian coalition forces have more than two million troops in Moscow, while the Imperial Army has only more than one million. It is the first time I have seen such a battle!" Long Yufei couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, although the total strength of the German-Russian coalition is large, more than one million Russian troops can be excluded. In this way, there will be only more than one million German troops left. In addition, we have absolute advantages in both armored forces and air force. There is still no big problem in taking Moscow." General Liu Zhongming said. Although he also felt that the operation on the eastern battlefield was a bit risky. However, he also believed that the possibility of success was still very high.

"Well. How many newly formed troops can be put into the battlefield?" Long Yufei asked.

"No, the 19th Army, the 20th Army, the 21st Army and the 22nd Army can all be put into combat." General Liu Zhongming replied.

"Then let's put these four armies into the eastern battlefield. With the joining of four armies, our weakness in military strength will not be that great." Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." General Liu Zhongming nodded. (To be continued...)
