is it possible to connect to an SSH server only accessible from inside a network, using a Windows machine without SSH as a gateway?.

Let me clarify my question with a sketch:

Me (Linux machine)---> WIN (Windows without SSHD)--->LIN (Linux with SSHD).

Machine Me, is the PC I'm using to connect to LIN through WIN. WIN is accessible from the outside, it has an RDESKTOP port open, and LIN is only accessible from inside the network.

Hope you understand the question.
