Why did Moscow build a new line of defense in October 1942?

This line of defense was called the Mozhaisk Line, because at that time there was a danger of being attacked by the fascist German army around Moscow, and a new line of defense had to be built. In order to be able to ensure the safety of Moscow, and to be able to block all the attacks of the German army outside the city, so that they can hold their positions and defeat the German army one by one. Although the Soviet army suffered heavy losses in the later period, it was also thanks to this line of defense that it was able to withstand various attacks by the German army.

At that time, the German army's attack on Moscow could be said to be fierce and rapid, causing a huge crisis in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. Because the Germans had a large tank group, they gathered all the tank groups together, directly surrounding the Soviet reserves and other armies. This is not the most dangerous, the most dangerous thing is that Moscow will be occupied if it can't stand it, the Soviet army is surrounded by German troops and has no power to resist, and there is no extra strength to defend Moscow.

But the Soviet Union still did not give up and chose to fight the German army to the end, and it was thanks to holding on to it that it brought a ray of life to this war.

On the basis of the Soviet army's fierce resistance, some Soviet troops have already broken out of the German encirclement and retreated directly to Mozhaisk. The Soviet troops on the other lines of defense were not so lucky, because the Germans had the cover of tank groups, they were able to enter the rear of the Soviet army smoothly and occupy that line of defense, and all the people on that line were completely annihilated by the Germans, and the leader was brutally killed. Even after all kinds of resistance, it was still unable to resist the fierce offensive of the German army, and the Soviet army resisted and dealt a big blow to the German army, but unfortunately it still could not gain the upper hand.

Then in order to be able to hold Moscow to the death, the Mozhaisk line was established, no matter how the Germans attacked, they still did not retreat, and thanks to this defense line, they completely prevented the German attack. Although the losses were heavy, fortunately, the Germans could not directly attack the center of Moscow, and in the end they could only return in vain.

Because the German attack could cross the Soviet border at any time, and even enter the capital Moscow. In this case, a significant part of the forces of the army near Moscow was surrounded by German troops. Therefore, the Soviet High Command decided to immediately establish a new line of defense near Moscow, to block the iron hooves of the German army outside Moscow at all costs.

Because of the danger of preventing the break-in of fascist German troops into Moscow. A significant part of the forces of the Western Front and Reserve Front, as well as the Bryansk Front, around Moscow were surrounded by German troops. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the iron hooves of the German army outside Moscow at all costs.

As a last resort. At this time, it was the period of World War II, and the Russian side had to build a new line of defense to ensure security in order to resist the military attack of the West, especially Germany.

First, at that time, Stalin had already transferred a lot of elite troops and a large number of technical weapons, and after many wargames in the base camp, it was proved that he could completely hold Moscow. Second, at that time, the Soviet Union had completely grasped the information on Germany's logistical embarrassment, and Stalin knew that the German army was actually already a foreign power, and there was not much strength to launch a nuclear attack. Third, the commander Zhukov was a general that Stalin was very optimistic about, and he commanded the reversal of the previous tenfold defense of Leningrad, which was ten times more dangerous, and Stalin believed that with Zhukov in the excavation, there would be a guarantee of victory.

Fourth, Moscow is the center of the Soviet Union, and the people who live here are undoubtedly the cornerstones of communism, and their consciousness is very high, and if they want to fight street battles, they can mobilize millions, even millions, of troops and Germans from the inhabitants of Moscow at any time! On the whole, Stalin was very sure that Moscow seemed dangerous, but in fact it was as safe as Mount Tai, and it was impossible for the German army to take it.

Had to hold on, if Moscow was lost, the Soviet Union was in danger of "losing the country", and Stalin understood better than anyone else what the loss of Moscow meant for the Soviet Union. Moscow was the capital of the Soviet Union, and its strategic position was incomparably important. He was the command center for the Soviets against the German imitation of aggression, and if Germany occupied Moscow, it would mean that Germany was there.

Two: Stalin's stay in Moscow was of important symbolic and practical significance, and Stalin's position in the Soviet Union at that time was unparalleled, so he could not go.

Because there is no way to merge the clans, if even Moscow can't accept it, then there is no way for the Soviet Union to continue to exist, and Stalin was a leading figure for the Soviet Union at that time, and the people of the Soviet Union believed in him very much and gave him a certain amount of trust and dependence, so Stalin did not escape in the face of this situation.

After all, Moscow is his country, and if his country of Oak is destroyed, he will definitely be detained, so for his sake, he must defend Mochen Ponskko to the death.

During the defense of Moscow, Stalin had nowhere to go, he had to stay in Moscow and live with Moscow.

The two are related: (1) both are Soviet troops fighting against the German army;

2) all battles that took place on the Middle East Front in World War II;

3) all were part of the World Anti-Fascist War;

The difference between the two: the time is different (Battle of Moscow: September 30 - December 5, 1941. Battle of Stalin Green: July 17, 1942 – February 2, 1943).

The location is different; The forces invested by both sides are different;

The significance was different: the Battle of Moscow dealt a complete blow to the arrogance of the German army, making it impossible to launch an offensive on all fronts. A solid foundation was laid for the fundamental turning point of the Second World War.

The Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in World War II.

The result of the Battle of Moscow shattered the myth that Hitler boasted of the invincibility of the German army, and was the beginning of the demise of the German Eastern Front, and the defeat of the German army in the Battle of Moscow laid the foundation for the Battle of Stalingrad, that is, the turning point of World War II. The victory in this battle made Britain and the United States, which were both anti-fascist countries, realize that the Soviet Union was the country they had to unite to defeat fascism, and this also promoted the formation of an anti-fascist alliance.

Extraction code: nmh7 This film is an epic multi-episode widescreen blockbuster filmed by the Soviet Union to commemorate the great victory of the Soviet people in the anti-fascist struggle in World War II. The whole film is divided into two parts: "Invasion" and "Typhoon Campaign", each with a total of four episodes.

In June 1941, fascist Germany concentrated 190 divisions to invade the Soviet Union with lightning tactics. The film was filmed over a period of two years, costing about 6 million rubles, and was shot in a grand and spectacular spectacle, with about 5,000 soldiers, nearly 10,000 people, 250 actors, and 202 photographers participating. This magnificent war scene, like several other similar war films by the director, was made with the support of the former Soviet Union** and made a film with a strong political purpose.

The film's propaganda of the triumph of justice over aggression seems legitimate today, but some of the scenes promoting national leaders are clearly a political necessity. If these political factors are excluded, the film's depiction of macro war scenes is still excellent.

A defensive line was built around Moscow, with a range of up to 100 kilometers, so that the German army would have some attrition when attacking, and there was no way to break through quickly, and it would be slowly buffered, and the German army's logistics line was not particularly good, so they held Moscow.

The main thing is that the Soviet defense of Moscow is very interesting, using distance to block the German front line, and the Soviet Union has adopted the strategy of expanding the outer defense line, mobilizing civilians, and weakening the German army through long distances.

Because at that time, the Soviet military and civilians were united in defending their homeland to the death, and all of them were released and the defense was strengthened.

In the winter of 1941, God was again on the side of the Russians. On October 1, it rained a rare heavy rain in Moscow; On the 6th of October, the vast area around Moscow was in full swing and the first winter snow fell.

In early October 1941, the Germans knew that Lenin would not be able to capture it. As a result, more than 1 million people, more than 1,700 tanks and 1,900 artillery pieces were concentrated, and under the cover of the Air Force, they launched another onslaught on Moscow. Stalin once again handed over to Zhukov the baton of this great battle for the survival of the Soviet Union.

The Moscow Conference was an important international conference in the early years of World War II. Representatives of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain met for the first time in order to achieve the common goal of defeating fascism. They transcended ideological differences and differences in social systems, put aside past grievances, sought common ground while reserving differences, and finally reached an agreement, thus laying the foundation for the establishment of a broad international anti-fascist coalition.

According to the protocol signed by the three countries, from October 1941 to the first half of 1942, the United States and Britain provided interest-free loans to the Soviet Union, and transported 1.5 million tons of various materials, including 4,500 tanks and 3,600 aircraft, with a total value of about $1 billion, which effectively supported the Soviet Union's arduous war of resistance. The Soviet Union's insistence on fighting against Germany and providing a large amount of raw materials also created favorable conditions for the United States to slow down Britain and gain time to strengthen war readiness.
