What Zhukov said is actually what Stalin is most worried about right now.
The German army, which has already reached the gates of Moscow, has launched multiple large-scale air raids on Moscow in recent days.
The rain of aerial bombs turned buildings into rubble. German fighter jets swooped and strafed across the streets, mowing down people running away amid air raid warnings.
The villages located outside Moscow burned and turned into a scorching purgatory. The German Air Force, which took victory as its ultimate goal and intended to destroy the will of Moscow's military and civilians to resist, completely abandoned the so-called morality of benevolence and justice, just like all invaders in history.
Spreading death and fear on the earth like a plague.
Carrying out a military parade under such preconditions and background is undoubtedly a very difficult task with extremely high risks. It would be weird if Hitler, after learning of Stalin's intentions, did not come to disrupt it. But even so, he has already made a decision
Stalin, who was determined and resolute, issued the final order in a deep voice as always.
"This year's Red Square military parade must be held no matter what. This is not only a political statement and firm determination from our top leaders in Moscow, but more importantly, it is to strengthen the morale and determination of our Red Army troops."
"I will transfer fighter jets from other places to protect the air security on the day of the military parade. Moscow must be defended no matter what. I believe you know better than me what the terrible consequences will be if Moscow falls. You understand what I mean.
?"
Looking at his loving father Stalin's firm but unquestionable and negating expression, Zhukov, realizing that everything was settled, immediately raised his right arm and gave Stalin his thanks with a firm salute.
Answer.
Malashenko, who is commanding the troops and is stepping up to complete the last stage of training and running-in tasks, naturally received the news that the 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment led by him will represent the heavy tank formation to participate in the upcoming Red Square military parade.
news.
Although he is extremely familiar with and understands the 1941 Red Square military parade that existed in history, when Malashenko, who traveled from later generations, learned for the first time that he would personally participate in this event that would remain in history.
During this great and famous event, an indescribable sense of excitement and excitement still filled my heart unstoppably.
"Military parade in Red Square? Just three days later? Damn it, Malashenko, am I awake or are you really kidding me?"
It is unimaginable that a grand Red Square military parade would be held at this extremely critical moment. After learning the news from Malashenko, Lavrinenko was almost speechless in shock.
"Isn't this a good thing? Don't act so surprised, Lavri. Our 1st Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment will drive through Red Square as a representative of the entire Red Army heavy tank force and be reviewed by Supreme Leader Comrade Stalin.
After that, I went directly to the front line. Do you think there is anything more honorable than this?"
Compared with Lavrinenko's hesitation and worry, the high-spirited Malashenko is obviously much more happy and excited. Being able to show his face in front of his loving father Comrade Stalin is undoubtedly a good thing for Malashenko at the moment.
However, if you leave a good impression and rise steadily from then on, that would be the best outcome.
Lavrinenko, who was speechless at Malashenko's answer, finally said nothing more after smacking his lips a few times. After all, as Malashenko said, one can control one's own steel.
The mount rumbled through the Red Square to be inspected by the supreme leader. This kind of thing is undoubtedly a great honor for the hot-blooded Red Army soldiers in this era.
While Malashenko was leading his troops to actively prepare for the military parade and final joint training, the Soviet Red Army troops holding on to the front line outside Moscow also unexpectedly received assistance from a new force.
One early morning at the end of October and near the beginning of November, the German army woke up from their sleep and launched artillery fire for half an hour as usual in an attempt to continue to advance and break through the Soviet defense line.
The German offensive troops, who had been fighting fiercely with the Soviet enemy in front of them for almost a week, thought they knew their opponents very well.
The number of troops was severely reduced, the artillery fire was insufficient, and the tanks and armored units were even more pitiful. If I had to describe it, this Soviet army that stood firm and fought hard was like a dilapidated house that was about to collapse.
, and the attack that the German army is about to launch today will be the final kick on this dilapidated house.
"As long as we exert a little strength, the positions of those Russian Ivans will instantly collapse to the ground like broken door panels."
But when the German troops with such thoughts in mind launched a charge with the help of artillery fire and tank cover, the scenes they encountered immediately after were somewhat different or even completely different from those they had encountered before.
.
Brand-new military uniforms, sufficient firepower, complete defensive position echelon configuration, and the high morale of the loud roars that almost overwhelmed the gasoline engines of our own tanks. Everything encountered in just a few minutes was in the most cruel way.
This method proves how naive and wrong the German army's previous ideas were.
"Damn it! These Russian Ivans have changed! This is not the same defensive force as yesterday! Didn't they say in the meeting this morning that the Russians no longer have reserve forces? Where did these guys who are as desperate as Stalin's security forces come from?
Where did it come from!?”
The loud roar that almost overturned the roof of the field division headquarters tent was so terrifying that the German staff officers who were somewhat panicked immediately took action quickly according to the orders of their division commander and chief of staff. Efficient and outstanding German staff style
With exemplary efficiency, a piece of investigation results just sent from the rear intelligence department was soon placed in front of the German division commander.
"The Russians mobilized 11 divisions from Siberia with more than 200,000 people? They...how...what the hell! What are those Japanese dwarfs with little bandy legs doing!? If they don't go north to attack the Soviet Union, forget it now
Even the Russian troops in Siberia can't be contained! These Japanese bandy-legged dwarfs deliberately let the Russian troops come over so that they can come to the front line in Moscow to deal with us! This is betrayal, the most naked and shameless betrayal!"
