One hundred and ninety rounds, this is the number of 381 mm caliber shells that Leningrad has dropped so far. If there is no inch of the explosion impact and the range is wasted, it will be almost enough to cover 100 football fields!

What is the concept of a hundred main stadiums? Probably, at least one-third of Leningrad was razed to the ground. .

To be more serious, it was not razed to the ground, but turned into a huge bomb crater. The explosion not only destroyed buildings, but also destroyed underground fortifications.

After all, it is not an ordinary shelling, but a giant shell that can penetrate steel plates and explode in a time-delayed deep underground.

Many underground bunkers were buried directly, and even Marshal Voroshilov was forced to transfer his command to the edge of the city near the land direction.

The German army almost regarded this place as a training center, and often asked their naval cadets to come here in battleships to shell the ports and cities.

Today, the German Navy's shelling began again, and they were squandering shells provided by the British side and even consciously wearing down the barrels on their own warships.

Because in order to pay the war compensation, the British Navy provided their inventory barrels and sold all the unused reserve shells to the German Navy.

The price of selling arms is not cheap, and it is the reason why the British Navy happily took out all the inventory.

After all, the new British Prime Minister Clement Richard Attlee, and his important aide Sir Anthony Aiden all believe that Britain has lost the ability to go to war with Germany in a short period of time, so it is better to use all the power to save itself first.

Britain really needs to save itself. In the German-occupied area in southern Britain, national reconstruction work has begun.

However, in the territory controlled by the UK, countless preparations were stranded due to lack of funds.

After all, in order to fight a world war, Britain borrowed a lot of money from the United States. Now all the old warships provided by the United States have become Germans, but it is an indisputable fact that Britain was defeated.

The overseas colonies are gone, and the only remaining India has half of the Middle East. Now it has set up its own doors and no longer listens to the orders.

The strategy of two-sided betting that was decided at the beginning actually divided the UK into two and dispersed its own strength.

This is the disadvantage of betting on both sides. The cracks caused by internal division are also very difficult to heal. Only when the war is completely over and one side of the betting wins completely can it improve.

The problem now is that the war will not end in a short period of time, and now, compared to Germany's attack on India, Japan seems to be more likely to attack India.

Therefore, the most profitable career in Britain now is only the export of weapons and technology to Germany and the acquisition of OEM production from the German-occupied areas of Europe.

The production of shells for German naval battleships, which are former British battleships handed over by Britain, the factory does not need to change the production line, and it is also the most cost-effective and fastest-effective.

What's more, the Germans are indeed willing to purchase shells, and they use important materials such as food to exchange for these shells. This is a win-win situation.

The reason why this makes people laugh is the reason for the flood of weapons in the German navy. Redel never expected that one day the British Empire would work overtime to produce shells to supply German battleships.

At this moment, Leningrad was almost turned into a large ruin. The buildings collapsed in the shells, and the civilians no longer had their place to live.

"Comrade Marshal... To the north, the Finns' troops have been pressed out of the city, and now we are surrounded on three sides." The Chief of Staff said to Marshal Voroshilov with concern.

Leningrad is quite special. In fact, most of the areas east of it are Lake Ladoga. Although it can be frozen in winter and can be used to walk, it is really not a reliable way out.

Finland in the north is now wearing a pair of pants with Germany. It is a fact that the Finnish troops go south to Leningrad.

The German army provided Finnish troops with 200 fighter jets seized from the Soviet Union, as well as 20 other elite British Spitfire fighters.

These aircraft are treasures for Finland. They guarantee Finland's air supremacy, and the Soviet Union can no longer provide any decent power on the ground forces.

Most of the elite Soviet troops were near Leningrad to resist the offensive of the German Northern Army Group.

The German army passed by Leningrad from the south and pushed the front to Moscow in one breath, which also made Marshal Voroshilov breathe a sigh of relief.

If the German army's main attack direction was him, he probably had committed suicide in the basement. Leningrad looked strong, but in fact he had no combat power.

The 400,000 army was concentrated around Leningrad, or compressed in this narrow place.

They have no supplies and are not well prepared. There is a shortage of ammunition and no hope is left.

If the German troops attacked for a strong attack, most of these people would choose to surrender, and only a small number of main forces would resist until the end.

What makes people even more desperate is that Voroshilov himself knew that even if he persisted until next year, he would not be able to receive decent support.

All the supplies were concentrated in Moscow, so he could only defend himself here, even if the war situation reversed and everything went well, he would have to stick to it until the end of 1942 before he could regain enough supplies.

"We can only get new supplies after we stay in winter and Lake Radoga is frozen." Voroshilov said to his chief of staff with some emotion.

Of course, the Chief of Staff knew in his heart that if the Germans did not attack with all their might, they would pretend to be strong and hope to persist for several months to delay the war until the end of 1941.

But if the German army knew the situation and really chose a large-scale attack, they would not be able to persist until the lake was frozen.

Relying on the ferry on Lake Radoga to transport supplies is simply a dream. This is not Moscow with many anti-aircraft guns, but Leningrad with almost no anti-aircraft firepower!

Planes in Germany and Finland visit Lake Radoga every day, sinking everything they can see on the lake!

The fighters circled like eagles, their engines roared downward, and used machine guns to knock the ship's side full of bullet holes.

At night, although the Luftwaffe no longer appears, artillery outside the city will arrive as scheduled, covering the Soviet-controlled area near Lake Ladoga.

The German army had sufficient supplies here, and they could squander the ammunition in their hands at will, which also made Voroshilov extremely helpless.
