My Third Empire

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

In the headquarters of the busy German Army's Eastern Front e Group Army, Commander Liszt is sketching with his staff on the map. His line of defense is in the territory of Belarus on the entire Soviet-German defense line. The straight line distance from Minsk is the closest. .

A staff member put a few blurred aerial photos on the table, and then pointed to one of them to introduce General Liszt: "General, this is a comparison of two aerial photos of the same place. Obviously the Soviets are in A lot of camouflage has been built around here, and as for what they want to hide, there is no definitive analysis. "

Another officer in camouflage frowned and pointed at the enlarged partial photo, frowning and said: "This volume of camouflage net, if we are operating, it is estimated that it should be a large equipment such as a tank or an aircraft. It may also be a car or howitzer. In short, if it is not deceptively disguised, these expanded areas should be large equipment. "

Although it is known that the Soviets are preparing for a large-scale winter offensive, the Germans do not know the specific direction of the Soviets ’attacks, so the various army groups are working hard to analyze the possibility of the Soviets attacking in their defense zone. After all, this is related to the first Whether the defensive operations at the stage are smooth or not.

In Liszt ’s defense zone, the Soviets ’performance was relatively calm, but the Germans were in control of the Eastern Front ’s battlefield airpower, so the reconnaissance aircraft that frequently took off eventually found some suspicious places.

For example, around some forests, there are more vegetation areas that are not there. Obviously these are disguise set by the Soviets. As for what is inside, it is not clear to the Germans. It may be a tank or an infantry barracks, or even nothing. It is just some fake disguise to confuse the opponent.

"Our heavy artillery can't hit this area at a distance. If you use a bomber, the risk is greater." A staff member thinks this problem is more difficult and belongs to the category that the Army Air Force is not suitable for shooting on both sides: "Our large caliber There are not many artillery pieces, and the range is limited. Most of these places are more than 20 kilometers deep. The use of artillery pieces is obviously unrealistic. The Air Force reported that it could not confirm the situation there and suspected that the other party ’s ground air defense firepower. "

On the Eastern Front, the German Air Force fighters have ruled the sky, but the Soviets are not completely waiting to be killed. They used decoys and preset anti-aircraft positions to lure German pilots to attack, in order to ambush the German dive bombers and small bombers. The purpose of counterattack.

So even though the Luftwaffe was free to fly over the Soviet Union, the Air Force was still cautious about the bombing of take-off aircraft. Moreover, relying only on the comparison of the two photos as evidence requires the Air Force to take off the plane to bomb a wood of no strategic value. Obviously any Air Force commander must carefully consider it.

Lisztmer said nothing. In fact, as a senior German military commander, the kind of deep-seated instincts made him feel that the targets marked on these comparative photos showed a strange danger that made him unable to move away. His own gaze. He felt that these anomalies were definitely not that simple, but he lacked valid evidence to support his views.

The entire Soviet-German defense line is now in the shape of an s. The first half is controlled by the Soviet Union, most of which is Belarus, and the second half is cut by Germany, and most of Ukraine is cut. In fact, the German attack plan is exactly the reverse of the Soviet Union. The plan of action was to encircle Soviet troops near Minsk and wipe out Soviet troops nearby.

This is determined by the geographical environment of the area occupied by both parties, because after taking this map of the actual control lines of both sides, the first idea of ​​most generals is to flatten this line of defense twisted into an S shape-it may be obsessive-compulsive disorder, but more There are many reasons why it is always easier to attack from the side than to attack from the front.

The principle is the same as attacking a person with a knife. If you cut a person's stomach with a knife, you may only leave a **** wound, but if you hit the protruding place, you may cut the other person's. For one arm, in terms of results, the effect of splitting the arm looks more shocking.

However, the German Supreme Command developed an overall plan to go the other way. Unlike the Soviet Union ’s emphasis on attacking from north to south, the Germans adopted a tactic of two wings going side by side in the overall strategy. In the north, Marshal Lundstedt The A group army led by the main attack, while in the south, the G group army led by General Goodrian led the main attack, and jointly completed the entire "New Barbarossa" offensive plan.

But before the offensive begins, more depends on the defense line including Klug, Liszt, Moder, Weikes 4 army, and Manstein's newly established m group army at the southernmost 5 The defense of the group army and whether the counterattack can be carried out smoothly.

Just like on the football field, the strikers who have defeated the city are brilliant, but a team can win more by relying on a stable midfield and backcourt. Those stable guards or midfielders may not be The familiar star is definitely a decisive presence in a team.

Although the generals such as Guderian and Rommel are more fascinating, it is impossible for all generals in a country ’s army to shine so much. More soldiers are as simple as steel, but they are absolutely in their posts. It is an irreplaceable existence. It can be said that it is with them that a myth of invincible wars is truly built.

Among the generals on the Eastern Front in Germany, except that Klug relied on absolute loyalty to the head of state and destined to stand on the position of commander of the group army, the other generals were all genuinely carefully selected by Akado A capable field expert.

Among them is the steadily and well-organized group army commander Weiks. This field expert is good at siege and annihilation. He is an excellent front-line commander. He performed very well in the siege in Poland. The German infantry under his command also Known for being elite, the National Defense Force is a general without obvious shortcomings.

The other general, Model, is a general called the "empire wall" who is good at directing defensive operations. He led troops to defend positions in Poland and annihilated a large number of Soviet active forces with partial counterattacks. Eventually, he fought time for the main force to encircle the Soviet main force, so he was familiar with the world. If Guderian and Rommel are two offensive empires , Moder is a steady general on the defensive.

However, the most defensive general was not in the position of the Soviet Union ’s impending general attack, but led his army, waiting for a possible large-scale attack by the Soviet troops near Kiev. This is also the reason why Akado insists on this arrangement, because he hopes that after the counterattack begins, the two army groups of Goodrian and Manstein can have a solid rear.

General Liszt, like Weix, was a general without obvious shortcomings. When the Germans invaded France, he was already the main German general in the Eastern Front of Poland. He dared to put him on the Eastern Front to deal with the possible Soviet Union. The offense itself was an affirmation to Liszt. He accomplished the task brilliantly and built the prototype of the multi-port defense line, which laid a solid foundation for the victory of the first phase of the Soviet-German War.

Now he is responsible for the defense of the area south of Minsk. For this reason, he carefully constructed three lines of defense. If these lines of defense are overlooked from the sky, they are somewhat similar to the shape of a field grid. They are also used to transfer forces in the longitudinal direction of the line of defense. The trench design, and the blank area of ​​Tianzige, are filled with mines and obstacles, forming a good flanking cover.

At the intersection of the trenches, he strengthened machine gun bunkers and anti-tank cannons, in order to eliminate as much of the Soviet attacking forces as possible. The whole position is actually the improvement and development of the line of defensive lines. To put it plainly, it is a bit like a simple World War I position. It invests more than the typical line of defense of World War II, and has more permanent defenses.

This is also an obvious feature of the first phase of Germany ’s “New Barbarossa Plan”, which is to use permanent fortifications to spend the dangerous early time, buy time for the German armored forces, and protect the frontier offensive positions-as long as the early stage is passed Dangerous time, then the starting point of the German armored force will extend a long distance forward from another time and space in history, so that Moscow, which cannot be reached in another time and space, has become the pocket of the German armored force. Thing.

"Report!" Just when Liszt was thinking about whether to ask the Air Force to reconcile these suspicious locations again, an officer pushed open the door of the combat headquarters and walked to General Liszt: "Long live the head of state! Mo General Dell called, and the Soviets began to shell his frontal positions on a large scale. The battle has already begun! "

"Play the front of Kiev first? The Soviets are a little bit funny this time ..." Liszt walked to the front of the map, narrowed his eyes to the location of Kiev on the huge east line, and put his hand near Brovary outside Kiev After striking twice, one person murmured: "Is it a feint? Or is this guy Zhukov really wanting to strike the front of Kiev hard?"

After thinking for about ten seconds, he turned around, looked at the Air Force Liaison Officer in the corner of the headquarters, and said, "Order, the Air Force Reconnaissance Air Unit directly under our group army, immediately take off the plane, the investigation photos Those suspicious locations! If those pretends are not fake targets, it should be moving now! I have a hunch! This time the curtain opens, it ’s my turn to play! "
