My Third Empire

"Confirmed? The Soviet Union is working on a large-scale experimental sniper team? Are you sure it is a group? Not a single person?" The statistical officer of the division has looked at the notebook sent by the frontline in detail, and even found a Russian translation on the book. Things have been carefully translated.

That small book recorded the content of the other sniper's lectures, including how to clean and maintain the guns, how to adjust the sights, and how far to shoot and fire. There are also snipers where it is easy to find Germans and so on. All-encompassing and quite comprehensive, the Germans who watched it felt a little weird.

"It can be printed and used as a reference." After reading the translated version, the division commander said, "Send it to the military department in the name of our division to see how they use it."

So the two men were put on a car to the military department, and they had to personally report to the military commander and chief of staff the problems they encountered on the front line. It seems that the Germans attached great importance to the Soviet combat training.

Just as the two of them came out of the division headquarters, the Soviet and German sides were fiercely fighting a few dozen kilometers away. Since Sud ’s mutual ceasefire and the start of negotiations in Berlin, Sud ’s army has not carried out such large-scale combat operations.

The Soviet Union used 4 artillery regiments and 5 infantry divisions launched a crazy attack on the German position. It seems that the Soviets feel that the progress on the negotiating table is too slow, and they need to slightly accelerate the entire Soviet-German battlefield.

"Soviet troops are attacking! Yes! The artillery is quite fierce! They are trying to approach the eastern bank of the Dnieper!" On the phone, the commander of the front German command was very anxious. Defense system.

On the phone, the mountains of the Soviet artillery could be heard, and it was like raindrops that slammed into the German troops' positions. After the failed attack that began with the Soviet Union ’s invasion of Germany, there has never been an offensive of the Soviet forces of this magnitude. The German position is crumbling, and it seems likely to be broken at any time.

The troops ordered to defend were very hard to fight. The Soviet Red Army began a full-fledged "trial attack" after Zhukov reached the front. This Soviet star from the Far East guessed the German military's strategic intentions after reaching the front, so he wanted to disrupt the opponent's battle deployment as much as possible.

He was keenly aware that the Germans were going to retreat to the Dnieper River to lay out defenses. If no countermeasures were taken as soon as possible, the German troops with almost no losses would complete their defensive deployment in Ukraine. At that time, the Soviet Red Army on the Dnieper Line would use hundreds Tens of thousands of people will not necessarily be able to overcome it. Once Ukraine has been out of Soviet control for too long, everyone knows that this place can no longer be the territory of the Soviet Union.

So Zhukov immediately changed his combat plan and brought the offensive launched until autumn to the present. He ordered the troops to immediately **** back the banks east of the Dnieper River, and then use artillery to interfere with the progress of German fortifications along the coast.

Facts have proved his judgment that there are not many German troops on the east coast, and there is almost no decent armor. The German troops in most areas only resisted symbolically and gave up their defensive positions. . Seeing the victory of the Soviet troops, even the Soviet negotiators in Berlin were getting straighter.

Soviet soldiers flocked to the German defensive positions like a tide. Sometimes a German machine gun position hit all the spare barrels and they were scrapped. Still, they couldn't stop the enemy's desperate charge regardless of casualties.

Zhukov has never been a general who cares about the casualties of the troops. When he faced the Japanese on the eastern front, and under the premise of mastering a large number of advantages in the early and middle stages, he can still play the shame of one after another in the later period, because In order to achieve a quick victory, he ignored the loss of troops.

At the frontline headquarters of the Soviet Red Army, a combat staff and several political workers are reporting to Zhukov the progress of the frontline offensive. One person is responsible for pointing the map at the pointer and explaining the specific combat area. One person is reporting the remaining amount of ammunition in the army, and the other is counting the army ’s losses.

"We are only 17 kilometers away from the nearest Dnieper River, and here and here, we are organizing a larger attack, but the casualties of the troops are very serious, and the defense of the other party is really too efficient." The staff whispered.

"The Germans dispatched the Air Force to attack our material storage locations. The front-line troops are in short supply." An officer of the logistics department looked at the report and said with some helplessness: "The front-line air control is very firmly controlled by the other party, and our air force has lost. The 310 fighters still have no ground troops that can prevent the other side from using Stuka to attack us. "

"The American p-40 fighter didn't work?" Zhukov frowned and asked a question he was more interested in.

"The performance of the p-40 fighter is not as good as the German fw-190d fighter. It can only play a role in alleviating the pressure on our air. Besides ... Besides, the news from the Air Force said that the German Air Force invested in the update Fighters, the gap in weapon performance between the two sides has widened again. "

"..." Zhukov heard silence here. Because this is a new situation, he originally thought that the participation of the P-40 fighter can fight to offset some of the air force advantage of the German Air Force. Now, it seems that this kind of hope is too naive. The technological advantages accumulated by Germany's deliberate efforts are not easily surpassed.

Judging from the current situation, the effect of investing in new tanks will not be too great. At most, it can only slightly reduce the loss. Speaking of the loss, Zhukov frowned again. He didn't care about the loss of the infantry. It was not unacceptable for him to lose 10,000 people a day.

"Order the troops to continue the offensive! Use the reserve division to replace several main divisions in continuous operations, but the offensive must not stop! Do you understand?" Zhu Kefu issued the order to continue the operations. In his mind, the Germans must be better than his troops Need more rest.

"General, can the order for political workers to take the lead be changed?" A political worker officer complained to Zhukov with tears in his face. "We can't be a role model. Our loyalty to Comrade Stalin is undoubted, but ... The sniper is too powerful, and our losses are really unbearable. "

As soon as Zhukov came to the front line of Sude, he gave the order that political workers must take the lead to attack. He hated these people gesticulating at the back, thinking that instead of letting them idle, they can be thoughtless and want to make an example. Join others in combat.

These people are always in a high position, and they claim to be very loyal to the Soviet motherland and Comrade Stalin, so Zhukov also used this as an excuse to let them lead by example "lead others to sacrifice for the motherland." Although this order did have a certain effect in a few days, the loss of political workers is also very desperate.

The German snipers placed on the positions are simply ubiquitous demons. They have precise marksmanship and concealed cleverness. They are often commanders and political workers who have just got up and shouted slogans to mobilize the soldiers to attack. They will kill these leading commanders with one shot. . The newly organized offensive will also quickly collapse due to the death of the commander. These German snipers are often more effective than a machine gun at this time.

A total of 4,100 grassroots and middle-level political workers were killed in a day. This was an unimaginable situation in the past. Now many political foremen are preparing to jointly write to Stalin, accusing Zhukov of intending to exclude the Bolsheviks in the army. Zhu Kefu can't afford this crime. He has to come up with countermeasures to appease the political workers who are not successful enough.

"I have no intention of squeezing out the manpower in the army." Zhukov explained and made a suggestion that the two sides compromised with each other: "You can choose the substitutes for the lost people, so that you can keep the basic structure unchanged. But the battle It must be continued, not stopped. "

The two political commissars glanced at each other and knew that Zhu Kefu was buying them with personnel rights, but both of them saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes-after all, it was an unbelievable thing to insert people in the army. Good thing, once they have the power of life and death to build their own team, it is a matter of course. So they agreed to Zhukov's exchange conditions almost at the same time, patting their chests to ensure that the battle could continue.

Some losses can be made up. For example, the losses of political workers are easier to make up. However, some losses are obviously not easy to supplement, for example, snipers are very difficult to train. The number of Soviet sniper losses soared in the battle, which also allowed Zhukov to clearly see the huge gap between the Soviet and German sniper capabilities.

Within 7 days, a team of 300 snipers who had just been trained on the Soviet side was killed by the Germans. Each of these Soviet snipers was considered a valuable asset of the Soviet Union.

They are equipped with a 3x magnifying sight customized from the United States. This sophisticated sniper special equipment could not be produced by the Soviet Union. For these devices, the Soviet Union loaded hundreds of thousands of tons of timber on American freighters. As a result, almost one-third of these expensive equipment now became German loot.
