After a heavy snowfall, the temperature plummets.The cold air currents from Siberia swept across Russia, and the temperature was getting colder day by day.There were already many frostbitten soldiers on the German positions, and they knew the cold weather here before attacking Russia.But now they really realize that this cold is not something they can adapt to at all.In early winter, the weather has plummeted to below freezing.A month later, the temperature plummeted to about minus 10 degrees.The winter clothes that the German army was equipped with were all used for wintering in their own country.It's okay to deal with the weather of minus five or six degrees, but no one has ever experienced minus ten degrees.The German soldiers did not dare to crawl on the ground for a long time, and if they did not exercise at all, they would soon freeze to death.The Russian army has killed and wounded millions of soldiers and horses in Moscow, and is still transferring all the reserve soldiers and horses to the front line.They also knew that the Germans had come this time to prepare to completely seize their territory.If they don't resist, they will soon be reduced to slaves to be slaughtered at will, and because of the weather, the Russian army is gradually recovering.The German ironclad chariots were so low that they couldn't even start their engines.Without the ironclad chariot, the distance between the weapons and equipment of the two sides would not be so huge.At this time, the Russian army launched a continuous counterattack, and for a while the Germans were unable to parry.When Christmas came in the West, the German army did not return to Germany for Christmas, as Hiteri said.On the contrary, the Germans were now completely mired in the quagmire, capturing at most half of Moscow and still not taking the city.They are less than fifty meters away from the positions of the Russian army.On both sides of a street, there are German and Russian troops.On a clear day, the Germans were preparing a devastating blow against the Russian army.The ironclad chariot is also guaranteed to be on fire during the day, so that it will not stop halfway.Thousands of ironclad chariots were assembled in Moscow, almost half of the German ironclad chariots were gathered.The muddy snow was full of corpses, and when the engines of the ironclad chariots roared, the heads of the Russian troops began to grow.At this time, the sky suddenly became cloudy.Both Germany and Russia raised their heads at the same time, only to see a swarm of planes coming from the sky, completely covering the sunlight.The Russians secretly screamed in their hearts, thinking that it was a German plane.The Germans also waited unexpectedly, not knowing where the planes came from.While both sides were depressed, the plane had already swept overhead, and soon dropped the first bomb downward.A loud "boom" roared in the German army's ironclad chariot group, and gunpowder smoke billowed up, and the huge impact force directly overturned the ironclad chariot in front of it.This was followed by a carpet bombardment of bombs, from the front of the German ironclad tanks to the end.Nearly 10,000 of the latest bombs exploded, each bomb was earth-shattering, and the flames completely melted the snow around them.The huge heat completely enveloped the ironclad chariot, and the ironclad chariot made of steel was all blown up and burst into flames, like barbecue meat in a blazing fire.Both the Russians and Germans were stunned by this sudden intrusion, and the Russian commander did not react until the explosion was over, and hurriedly ordered his men to attack the Germans.The German infantry frantically resisted in the snow, frightened by the sudden explosion.Now the temperature in Russia during the day is already minus 10 degrees, and at night it has plummeted to more than 30 degrees Celsius.Many disabled soldiers in the German army have frozen to death on the battlefield, and other soldiers' hands have been frozen and cracked.If the palm of your hand is sweaty, it will be glued directly to the butt.War under such conditions was a cruel torture for the German army.After the destruction of the ironclad chariot, the line of defense of the infantry finally began to loosen, and for the first time it was broken through by the Russians.After three days of fighting between the two sides, the Germans could no longer hold out and had to retreat completely.The plan to occupy Moscow was completely bankrupt, the roads were blocked by heavy snowfall, and logistical supplies could not be delivered at all.The car is even weaker than the ironclad chariot, it simply cannot withstand such cold weather, and as long as it is turned off, it will be difficult to start again.The Polish army took advantage of it, plundering thousands of German troops, not only the latest infantry weapons, but also a large amount of winter supplies.The German army attacked Russia in two ways, one with 1.5 million soldiers and horses directly attacking Moscow, and the other with 1 million soldiers and horses attacking Volgograd, the capital of Russia, and Volgograd is the granary of Russia.As long as Volgograd is controlled, the Volga is controlled, and the entire grain-producing region of the Caucasus is in control.Although there are daily casualties on the battlefield, the total number is more than half a million.The remaining two million soldiers and horses consume an astonishing amount of supplies every day.Without supplies, it is naturally difficult to fight against Moscow's attack.Now, even if it is a retreat, Germany is organized and does not mean to collapse completely.Originally, they withdrew from Moscow because of the bitterly cold weather and supplies.The Russian army did not take any advantage, and during the counteroffensive, it was still beaten by the Germans and covered with corpses.The main thing is that the regular army of the Russian army is almost consumed, and the new ones are all improvised recruits.When these soldiers attacked, they only knew how to rush forward with their rifles, and they did not even understand the basic charging tactics.Because of the lack of supplies and ammunition, some soldiers did not even have the guns and ammunition they had recently had.They all rushed up with their comrades in a daze, picking up dead people's guns on the road and using them.The battle lasted only three or four months, and the Russian army suffered more than two million casualties, almost two-thirds of the regular army.The Russian army took advantage of the situation to launch a winter counteroffensive, but it did not achieve results, but was blocked by Germany step by step.After the defeat of the German army from the Moscow battlefield, they rested in the occupied areas of the large rear and improved the offensive into defense, which survived this winter.The Russian army wanted to take advantage of the winter counterattack, but the attack was defeated and retreated once and again, and it was still vulnerable.The weapons of the two sides were too different, and the German infantry was now all armed with submachine guns, with artillery for backup.Russia, with its crowd tactics, simply cannot support a large amount of attrition.Both sides rested for a winter, and after the arrival of spring, gunfire again rang out in the Siberian plateau.The Germans abandoned the attack on Moscow and moved south for an all-out offensive on Volgograd.If the Caucasus region is taken and the logistics supply of the Russian army is cut off, the Russian army will naturally be self-defeating.Volgograd is located at the southern tip of Moscow, along the Volga River, and is an important grain producing region in Russia due to its mild climate.The Volga River runs through the city and flows south directly into the Caspian Sea.The Germans, who had already sent a million-strong army to Volgograd last year, had now cleared the obstacles along the way, waiting for the final blow to Volgograd
