Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 954 Decisive Battle (20)

Less than an hour after taking up the task of defending Moscow, the German army was about to launch an attack. Rokossovsky was on the verge of tears. He even envied the deceased Comrade Zhukov. At least he did not have to face such a terrible situation in person. Desperate situation.

Sighing, Rokossovs could only order helplessly. "Let the soldiers enter the position and prepare to fight!"

But there was no position left, and even few passages to the ground were left. When the Soviet soldiers finally returned to the ground, they were violently attacked by German helicopters before they had time to build defenses.

The entire city was razed to the ground, and the helicopter crew in mid-air had a clear view of every move on the ground. To exaggerate, they could clearly see where any stone moved.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

A helicopter spotted several Soviet soldiers appearing in the ruins not far away, and immediately flew forward. The machine gunner controlled the 7mm heavy machine gun next to the hatch and fired at the Soviet soldiers who had just climbed up on the ground. The Soviet soldiers were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads, let alone fight back. They retreated in embarrassment after leaving several corpses behind. The 40mm grenade launcher on the door on the other side of the helicopter fired more than a dozen grenades at the entrance of the passage, completely destroying the passage.

"Comrade Commander, the enemy's firepower was too fierce. Our army could not gain a foothold on the ground at all. Instead, the enemy discovered many passages and all were destroyed."

"..." Rokossovsky couldn't help but wonder. Did the Germans destroy these passages and plan to attack the underground fortifications? To trap them underground?

On the ground, when the first batch of armored troops entered downtown Moscow, they were followed closely by ground-penetrating radar vehicles and engineering vehicles such as pile drivers, excavators, forklifts, and cranes.

After a while, one of the ground-penetrating radar vehicles suddenly slowed down and made several circles nearby. "Here, about fifty meters directly below."

Excavators and forklifts cleared the debris from the ground and pile drivers began digging holes.

The underground fortification below is a residential area. The fierce shelling for several days has already exhausted everyone's last bit of energy. Many people stayed in place like puppets who had lost their souls, motionless until a strange noise came from above their heads. Only then did some of them look up.

"What is this sound?!"

No one could answer his question. The noise became louder and louder. Everyone watched in amazement as the cement ceiling began to vibrate, and tiny cracks slowly appeared. These cracks expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and from time to time large and small pieces fell. of gravel.

"It's about to burst, run!!"

I don't know who shouted. Under the threat of death, many people finally came to their senses and fled from here rolling and crawling.

"What happened?" The sentry not far away noticed the commotion here and ran over to ask about the situation.

"Comrade, it's going to collapse inside! There are big cracks in the wall! It's about to collapse." Listening to everyone's chatter, the sentry hurriedly comforted everyone. "Everyone, calm down. Stay away first. I'll go check on the situation." Because they couldn't stand the heavy bombardment day and night by the German army, many people had mental problems. The sentry also saw several people experiencing hallucinations. Listen, the poor people even self-mutilated or committed suicide; therefore, he was not sure whether the inside was really going to collapse, or whether these people collectively had some kind of hallucination, and he could not report it to his superiors rashly, so he decided to go and find out personally.

After carefully walking forward for a while, I suddenly saw a large circular hole appearing on the ceiling.

"??" The hole seemed too round, as if it had been dug manually. Just as the sentry was about to step forward to see where the hole led, there was a loud bang and a bomb slid down from the hole and hit the ground hard.

"!!" Seeing the sudden bomb rolling down to his feet, the soldier collapsed on the ground, trembling as if he had epilepsy.

He wanted to escape from here, but his legs didn't obey him at all. He could only stare at the bomb with sweat pouring down, waiting for the next second to explode and blow him to pieces.

But after waiting for a while, no bomb exploded. With another loud noise, another bomb fell down and rolled to the side, but still did not explode. At this moment, the soldier discovered that his hands and feet could move. He quickly escaped from here using his hands and feet, shouting hysterically as he ran. "Run! Bomb! Run!"

People in the distance suddenly screamed and fled in panic.

The German troops on the ground threw ten bombs into the hole, and then excavators and forklifts filled the hole. Anyway, the whole city was in ruins. It was very convenient to just shovel it into a pile of rubble.

"It's about to explode, everyone, leave."

A group of vehicles hid far away. After a few minutes, a large lump suddenly bulged on the ground, and then quickly sunk down, forming a large pit.

"keep going."

"Comrade Commander, Comrade Commander, the Germans are digging holes and inserting bombs!"

Listening to the somewhat incoherent report from the staff, Rokossovsky recalled the previous report from Smolensk. At that time, the Germans also dug holes into underground fortifications, stuffed a bunch of bombs and detonated them, constantly squeezing the underground space. .

Are the Germans going to do it again now?

But there was nothing they could do about it.

In less than half a day, the Germans destroyed more than 100 underground fortifications. According to this progress, they will really be trapped here to death in a few days.

Just when Rokossovsky sighed helplessly, Eisenhower came to him. "Commander Rokossovsky, the morale of our army is quite low. There is almost no combat effectiveness at all. Continuing to resist will only increase casualties. So I decided..." After sighing, Eisenhower continued. "I have sent people to negotiate with the Germans."

The envoy sent by Eisenhower came to the ground holding a white flag. Fortunately, he was not shot dead on the spot, and came all the way to a division-level headquarters. "I am Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, Commander Eisenhower's adjutant. I have been ordered by Commander Eisenhower to negotiate with your army on behalf of the American Expeditionary Force." Lieutenant Colonel Thompson tried his best to pretend to be neither humble nor overbearing, but there was no trace of it in his tone. confidence.

"I am Major General Judith." The German division commander who received him returned the greeting. "It seems that Commander Eisenhower of your army is not that stupid yet and knows how to think about the lives of his officers and soldiers. If only the top brass of your country were so wise, then our ammunition would not be wasted. "Major General Judith mocked a few times and called his adjutant and asked him to contact the frontline headquarters.

After a while the adjutant reported. "General, His Excellency, the commander-in-chief of the front line, said that we should first ask the Americans if they have any conditions."

"Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, do you have any conditions for your army? Or do you want to surrender unconditionally?"

"Of course not." Lieutenant Colonel Thompson shook his head quickly. "We have several conditions, which we hope your army can accept."
