828 Reinforcements from the Far East

"I have never expected rain so much. Actually, I don't like rainy days, but now I have changed my own preferences." Khrushchev stood by the window, watching the rain outside hit the glass in front of him, and said to his secretary.

It was a rainy day for the Soviet Union to be grateful for. Not only the field troops could use this weather to counterattack, but his troops could also take the opportunity to regain some of the lost neighborhoods.

Moscow is a very large city, its urban area is divided by rivers and is so complicated that it is a headache.

When the weather is sunny, the German army is reluctant to attack too quickly, let alone the current ghost weather.

Anyway, most German soldiers would hide in tents or buildings at this time, and the Soviet army's counterattack was easier.

Although the losses were still huge, they regained at least some blocks. After regaining these blocks, German shelling became scarce.

Originally, there were not many artillery arrangements near the front line. The Soviet army seized several 150 old-fashioned heavy artillery from the German army, which were used to bombard the center of Moscow.

Several artillery pieces were blown up when German engineers retreated, so this time the Soviet counterattack was rewarding a lot.

There were not many battles that could capture German weapons and equipment, so this time Khrushchev praised the counterattacking troops.

He promoted all these troops to guards, and then sent congratulatory messages to Chelyabinsk and Stalin on the road with the content of winning the counterattack.

"We are replenishing the four new guard infantry troops with new recruits. These four troops have suffered a lot of losses and need rest." Khrushchev's secretary did not speak, but Konev, who was standing aside, broke a basin of cold water.

The counterattack caused his troops to lose 10,000 people, most of the soldiers were determined patriots, and a large part of them were veterans.

These losses cannot be supplemented in a short period of time, and losses are losses. Konev originally did not agree with a counterattack, but Rokosovsky had already launched a counterattack on the southern line. If he did not cooperate, it would easily make people think a lot.

So he had no choice but to launch a counterattack, and the result was that he suffered heavy losses - not only was the German army not good at fighting on rainy days, but the Soviet Red Army was not good at...

Both sides fought for positions in the rain, and the losses were huge. However, Konev also gained a good political achievement. He really regained two blocks, and the German shelling no longer affected the city center.

This is good news. After all, the German army kept shelling the Kremlin and the near Red Square, which caused a great harsh impact.

Now, the German army was repelled about one kilometer, and the ordinary medium howitzers would not be raided near Red Square. The German army's lost cannons should be honest for at least a few days.

"Didn't all the soldiers be issued? I have allocated 30,000 people in the past few days!" Khrushchev heard Konev's complaint and looked over and questioned.

Konev smiled bitterly and answered Khrushchev: "The loss on the front line will exceed 50,000 people in the past few days... and there are too many veterans in the lost troops, and the training of the new recruits cannot keep up with it..."

Many of the troops that had just been drawn from the rear were recruits who had never fired their guns. Their training took less than a month and they could not master the basic skills of combat.

"Comrade Stalin's 100,000 elite troops drawn from the Far East will arrive soon! By that time, your reserve team will increase!" Khrushchev said with support in his hands and a little disapproving.

It is not a secret to mobilizing troops from the Far East to reinforce Moscow. Even if the Germans have speculations and plans in this regard, it would be natural for the Soviet Union to do so.

However, 100,000 troops were drawn, and the Soviet army indeed exceeded the German army's expectations. Li Le, the fake head of state, expected that the first batch of troops drawn by the Soviet Union would have up to 50,000.

Who knew that Stalin really did not do anything and drew 100,000 troops to make strategic arrangements for Germany's attack on Moscow.

It is precisely because of the 100,000 troops drawn from the Far East, and the troops led by Zhukov and defeated the Japanese army, that Konev launched this counterattack without hesitation.

"Is there any news about the second batch of troops transferred?" As the saying goes, if you have the right, it will be invalidated if it expires. Konev hopes to draw as many troops as possible to Moscow when Stalin and Khrushchev can influence the Far East.

This is a complementary thing. As long as there are enough troops around Moscow, Stalin's influence can be continued.

As long as Stalin's influence can continue, he can continue to draw troops from all over the country to fight in Moscow.

"The number of troops in the second batch is obviously small, and there are still only 100,000 people! And the local area reflects their objective situation, saying that one-third are new recruits." When talking about this, Khrushchev felt that he was angry.

When the first batch of troops were transferred, Stalin was still in charge of Moscow. At that time, the Far East had no reason, so he directly transferred 100,000 elite troops to assist Moscow.

As a result, Stalin was about to leave Moscow for the second time, so the troops he had drawn also poured water, adding one-third of the new recruits to come in.

What made Khrushchev feel most embarrassed was that the third batch of orders to draw troops to support Moscow was sent by Stalin while on the road.

The Far East pushed three obstacles and four obstacles, and a total of 50,000 troops were transferred to the train. How many new recruits were too lazy to emphasize the emphasis...

There are even reports that there are some troops from Outer Mongolia here, and it is easy to imagine how bad the combat effectiveness is.

It is precisely because of this that Khrushchev has been reluctant to propose the Far East to send troops to Moscow.

He was really scared, afraid that the bastards in the Far East would refuse directly and tear his face that was not very useful.

"This is not easy to deal with." Konev didn't know about the third batch of troops. At this time, he heard about the second batch of troops being mixed with new recruits, and his face was not too ugly.

The Moscow City Defense Commander thought for a moment and said, "Before the sky is clear, I will try to bring the Germans back to the suburbs..."

Before Khrushchev became happy, he spoke again with discouragement: "But after these blocks that have been recaptured, I am ready to give up one tenth of them every day with a plan!"
