"The German army put in new artillery, and we were attacked several times yesterday." A Soviet officer reported to Konev yesterday's battle situation.

Within a few hours, the German army used such powerful artillery shells on several positions, and several Soviet positions were severely damaged.

This large artillery has a very powerful power, thick walls, and the thick walls of Soviet buildings that are almost impossible to destroy by ordinary shells. This cannon can easily destroy it.

What is even more depressing is that there are many such artillery Germans, which can use many cannons to fire in all directions and attack.

"The counterattack of a battalion-level unit was dismantled by such artillery. Before the battle began, we lost more than 120 people, almost 30 people died and more than 90 people were injured." The officer said word by word.

"One shell killed more than 100 people? Are you kidding me?" Konev was stunned for a moment after hearing this result, and then questioned.

"We were preparing to launch a local counterattack, and the other party opened fire." The officer explained: "Also, the other party's gun has a caliber of at least 300 mm, which is a super heavy artillery."

This kind of artillery appeared when bombarding Leningrad, and Marshal Voroshilov also reported on this matter.

The German army had large caliber siege artillery with a caliber of about 300 mm and had strong suppression capabilities.

Sometimes, it is often necessary to change the power contrast in some areas with just one shot. This kind of artillery has a very long range and can be suppressed and fired from far away places.

In real historical space and time, this k5 train cannon can deal with the Allied Air Force and Navy at the beachhead of Anqiao to suppress landing American soldiers.

And what's even more terrible is that it is elusive and uses the tunnel to avoid the bombing of the Allies, causing huge losses to the Allies landing in Anqiao.

This psychological shadow gave the k5 train cannon a nickname "Anqiao Express". The express train sends the god of death, and the fast delivery of the fearful death!

"The German army has a lot of cannons, and there are probably more than 5. Such heavy cannons pose a great threat to us, especially to the Kremlin."

"Let Comrade Khrushchev move to underground fortifications! It is hard to say that it is safe in Moscow now!" Konev reminded his men depressedly.

If the German bombardment kills Khrushchev, it will be a huge blow to the defense operations of the entire Moscow.

Although Khrushchev's military level can only be said to be average, he still plays a great role in local political management.

After all, in this huge encirclement of Moscow, there are not only troops, but also countless civilians who need to be managed by others.

These officials also have the allocation and distribution of various materials, and withstand the pressure of Stalin... These things prove that it is still very useful to have Khrushchev.

"I know, General Konev..." The subordinate agreed and continued to speak: "It is precisely because of this large-caliber artillery that the suddenness and effectiveness of the German shelling were improved."

Seeing that Konev didn't speak, he continued: "Our personnel were shelled before they were unfolded, and the positions were relatively dense, so the losses were even greater."

"And..." Speaking of this, the officer talked about the other side of the matter: "It seems that the German combat team has begun to become active again."

The German combat team he mentioned refers to the German special sniper team. They didn't know the correct name for this organization. After all, they had no habit of interrogating even if they caught a living person.

On the battlefield, the snipers who caught the enemy were shot, and everyone did this without any sense of guilt.

So, no one was so bored that he caught a sniper captive and asked: What is the name of your team? Doesn’t it sound nice? Do you smoke?

Everyone would let the sniper captive kneel on the ground, then press the opponent's head with a pistol or rifle, and then pull the trigger to see the beautiful scene of the opponent's head being broken by a bullet.

"Are they active again?" Konev asked back depressedly after hearing this news.

The opponent's sniper team has been very active, but their attention was distracted by the Soviet snipers for a while ago, and they seemed a little silent.

But now, when the Soviet snipers were forced to withdraw, these groups focused their attention on ordinary Soviet soldiers.

"It's not a solution to continue like this. I can only let the snipers try it." Konev, who had a headache, had no choice but to give his own solution to it.

"But, Comrade General, our snipers have suffered too much losses, too many novices, and their overall combat capability has been declining." The officer persuaded.

The new snipers have not been trained yet, and the losses are even higher with actual combat elimination. In this case, the consequences may be serious if you overdraw these sniper troops.

"The new sniper has not been trained and the old sniper has suffered too much loss. Now the veterans have been drawn back to temporarily train new snipers. The remaining group of recruits have little experience and cannot complete the mission independently." The officer said a lot in one breath.

But helplessly, Konev who he knew also knew, and Konev who he didn't know also knew. The sniper who lost could not be replenished. Could it be that the ordinary soldiers who lost could be replenished?

The German Northern Army Group was in a hurry and had already captured the Ivankov Reservoir. He had to draw at least 200,000 people to the north to deal with the new threat.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet defenders in the giant encirclement of Moscow are now a little short of their strength.

Once the German army continues to expand the defense area of ​​the Soviet army, such as seizing Ryazan or directly cutting off the Soviet army's retreat and surrounding the entire Moscow, Konev's troops will be dispatched to deal with it at least 200,000 more.

In this case, the losses of thousands of people every day are completely unbearable. It is not only that he cannot afford, but that Khrushchev, Stalin, and even the entire Soviet Union cannot afford it.

"I know! I know what you said... But, what can we do now? Is there any better choice?" Konev asked back depressedly and shook his head.

He had tried all his strength, but he still felt helpless in the face of the German army's absolute advantage... ——
