"Comrade Shaposhnikov, Comrade Zhukov, do you have any suggestions for the current situation?" Joseph asked after venting his anger.
Although Joseph was still very angry in his heart. But he knew that now he had to find a way to solve the problem. The loss, uh, must be minimized. In that way, they can preserve more strength and persist under the fierce German attack.
"Comrade Joseph, the Germans are targeting the Western Front and the Northwest Front this time. In addition, the Southwest Front was almost wiped out by the Germans. The Germans obviously want to wipe out our main force in one fell swoop. Without these troops, we Not only can we not defend Moscow, but we also have no strength to fight back against the Germans. What awaits us is probably defeated by the Germans." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
After listening to Marshal Shaposhnikov's words, Joseph's face became even uglier.
"Comrade Joseph, we must find a way to let the Western Front and the Northwest Front break through. Otherwise, once these troops are also wiped out by the Germans, then we will be finished." Marshal Shaposhnikov looked a little bit pessimistic. He really didn't know, if these millions of main troops were lost, what else could they use to stop the German attack.
"If the Western Front and the Northwest Front are ordered to break through, can they successfully escape back to Moscow?" Joseph asked.
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult. According to the news just now, the Germans left two armies to block the retreat of the Western Front. However, they dispatched two Ukrainian armies from near Podolsk to go north. The German 9th Army and 16th Army , is attacking north, intending to block the retreat of the Northwest Front Army. In addition, the German Army Group B and Army Group A, which are on the frontal battlefield, are also launching a fierce attack. Our troops are being pinched by the Germans." Sha Bo Marshal Shnikov replied.
Joseph's brows were tightly frowned, and he obviously knew what it would mean to Russia if the Western Front and the Northwest Front lost again. However, he has no way to save them!
"What if troops are drawn from Moscow's defenders to attack the Germans and respond to the Western and Northwestern Fronts? In this case, is it possible for them to successfully break through." Joseph asked.
Marshal Shaposhnikov did not answer, but looked at General Zhukov. After all, General Zhukov is now the commander of the Moscow Garrison, and those troops are all under the command of General Zhukov.
"Comrade Joseph, I have no objection if troops are transferred from Moscow to rescue the Western and Northwest Fronts. However, we have to prepare for the worst. Once the troops are transferred from Moscow, not only will they not be able to rescue the Western and Northwest Fronts." If the front army, instead, put in the rescue troops, what should we do? Even if the German troops in Podolsk seize the opportunity to attack Moscow, will we be able to withstand their attack? ? After all, if you want to tear apart the German defenses and rescue the Western Front and Northwest Front, it will not work if you have too few troops." General Zhukov said.
Joseph fell silent immediately. He wanted to rescue the Western Front and the Northwest Front, but he didn't want to watch so many main forces being wiped out by the Germans. However, if the deployment of Moscow's troops would threaten the safety of Moscow and even himself, then Joseph might have to think again.
"If we send troops to attack the German lines and rescue the Western and Northwestern Fronts, how many troops will we need?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, the Germans left behind the Western Front, two German Army Groups and two Ukrainian Army Groups, a total of 800,000 people. The combat effectiveness of the Germans is needless to say. The combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian Army is also The same is not bad. Therefore, if we want to respond to the Western Front, we may have to mobilize millions of troops. In addition, we must dispatch both the 1st Guards Tank Army and the 2nd Guards Tank Army. The Northwest Front, The Germans have an armored army and an infantry army. The troops we dispatched will not be too small. In addition, even if these troops are dispatched, it is very difficult to say whether they will be successful. After all, the German Army Group B and Army Group A It is very difficult to say whether the Western Front and the Northwest Front can hold on." General Zhukov said.
Joseph's face suddenly became very ugly. If, as General Zhukov said, they need to transfer 1.6 million or more troops from Moscow to meet the Western Front and Northwest Front, then there are not many remaining troops in Moscow. The Germans are in Podolsk, but there are still 1.8 million troops. Although, most of them are servants of the German army. However, the German Seventh Army and a Ukrainian Army still have strong combat effectiveness. Although the combat effectiveness of the other servants is relatively low, but with an absolute superiority in strength, once an attack is launched, the Russian army may not be able to resist it. After all, it is hard to say how powerful the hastily formed Russian army is with the same loss of the main force.
"It seems that we have no way to transfer troops from Moscow to meet the Western Front and Northwest Front." Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph. Too many troops will pose a threat to Moscow's security. Too few troops will be of no use." General Zhukov nodded.
"Comrade Shaposhnikov, do you have any other suggestions?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, what we can do now is probably to order the Western Front and the Northwest Front to break through. Although the Germans sent troops to intercept them, if the Western Front and the Northwest Front retreat with all their strength, they will be able to withdraw some troops to some extent. After these troops are withdrawn, they can be strengthened into Moscow's defense." Marshal Shaposhnikov said.
Joseph nodded: "Okay then, order the Western Front and Northwest Front to break through with all their strength!"
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Marshal Shaposhnikov replied.
After Marshal Shaposhnikov and General Zhukov left, Joseph sighed. He knew that there might not be many troops left in the Western Front and Northwest Front that could successfully break out of the siege. However, this is also impossible.
