My Third Empire

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

The news came after more than ten minutes, the entire 1st Armored Army, and the SS 3rd Armored Division and other troops all went south, preparing to launch a new round of attacks on Ijum, rather than the dangerous breath of Khalko husband.

The main force of the German army is like a super-sense wolf king, sniffing gently in front of the beast trap, and then leaving the danger of disguise, even without looking back.

Guderian ordered the troops to attack Ijum, so the main force of the Germans began to go south. Their attack was unexpected to everyone. The Soviets did not expect that the German armored forces that had been rushing to Kharkov would suddenly stop advancing, and then immediately Changed his direction of attack.

For a time, the Soviet Red Army deployed near Igum was in chaos. Without any decent resistance, the Germans took the advantage and took this important city. Then the German armored forces began to appear in Kupiyan on a large scale. There is also the vicinity of Donetsk in Szczecin, and the infantry of the Modal Army began to attack Slavyansk. For a time, the German scam of the north was opened, and the entire southern cluster began to go crazy south.

"General! General! North Donetsk is in a hurry! The main force of the Germans did not attack Kharkiv, but turned a corner there and went south!" A staff member rushed into Zhukov's office in panic with a message , Startled the general who was studying the military map behind his desk. Zhukov raised his head, apparently also a little unbelieving that such a thing would happen.

A few minutes ago, he was still studying how to hold off the German offensive in Kharkov. He was still studying how to make Timukhinko resist tenaciously in Kharkov, to buy time for the entire Soviet North Army, and to armor the German army. The troops dug a huge grave. But now it seems that all this is just a joke, the Germans seem to have seen through his plan, and did not continue to attack Kharkov north.

"This is impossible!" This was Zhukov's first reaction. He subjectively judged that the Germans could not give up the plan to attack Kharkiv, or that he never thought that the Germans would give up such a huge amount that had been swallowed into the mouth. A piece of fat: "If the Germans gave up Kharkiv not to go north, wouldn't they give me the victory themselves?"

The sentence he asked is justified. The army that can threaten him is only Guderian in the south. If this army has no intention of attacking him, then relying on the e group army to stay in Kiev, it is impossible to complete the prevention of the Soviet occupation. The mission of Kiev, once Kiev was lost, even if the Germans occupied Klim and Donetsk, they would be surrounded by the Soviets in a huge encirclement. There was only one waiting for the end of these German troops, and that was destruction.

The Germans have higher speed mobility, more powerful firepower and armored vehicles than the Soviet Red Army, but it also proves that the Germans rely on logistics supplies than any other army. Once the logistics base in Kiev was occupied by the Soviets, the logistics supply line was cut off. Then, the elite German tank troops will instantly become a pile of scrap iron, let alone exert their power, it is already a blessing to be able to do not become a burden.

Because of this, Zhukov presumed that the German army would go north with the speed of attack and attacked the side of Kharkiv threatening Minsk to force the Soviet army to abandon the plan to attack Kiev. This is the only chance for the Germans to win under normal circumstances, so Zhukov laid down a net in Kharkov so unwaveringly, waiting for Guderian to hook himself.

Regrettably, Guderian was too chic, and he was so smart that he really didn't care about Liszt's life and death, ignoring the danger that the main forces of the three army groups of the German south were surrounded, so he turned around gorgeously in Kharkov. , Rushed to a Donetsk, although important, but irrelevant. This made Zhukov a bit caught off guard and even worried.

He stood up and took the telegram from the staff. After carefully reading it twice, he walked to the huge combat map hanging on the wall and raised his head to look at Rokosovsky ’s current situation. Come to the position, whispered in his mouth: "The Germans really believe that Liszt can hold the position? Why do they believe him so?"

"This kind of conviction is a pure gamble? Or is it that the head of state who can always create miracles can really confirm that Liszt's e-group army can really block my entire offensive cluster?" Zhukov frowned. Talking about these contents repeatedly, walking two circles in front of the map, holding the chin is always essential.

In his hand, he held a strong guard, which was not in use. Once this unit was put into the offensive, Liszt ’s front line of defense could persist for up to 24 hours. By that time, between the Soviet army and Kiev, There will be no obstacles at all, and there are still a few days to go to the A group army under Marshal Lundstedt on the Zhukov flank, and there is no time to rescue the collapsed e group army.

However, such strange behavior of the German made Zhukov alert. Like Guderian and other German generals saw through the Soviet plan, he also noticed the dangerous smell of the German army's unusual behavior.

"This is not gambling! No crazy person would dare to use all of his chips to bet on a disadvantaged game! The Germans have a bad hand, even saying that there is a risk of losing at any time. Only by doing this! "Zhukov said, gritting his teeth:" Their hole cards will definitely make them believe that they will win more! Certainly! "

"Not Liszt! Not the e-group army! They are sure to hold Kiev, so they don't come to the rescue! I know how Guderian saw my plan! Because I didn't go to rescue Kharkiv, so they noticed Danger! Now it ’s the same thing that they do n’t go to rescue Kiev! "Zhukov suddenly realized. He turned his gaze to the Kiev on the map that was already close, and then opened his mouth and smiled. He also noticed the Germans ’idea of ​​using the bait of Kiev to capture the entire Zhukov cluster of more than 700,000. Soviet Army.

What is interesting is that the two sides have drawn up almost the same plan in two different places. Except for the opposite direction of the attack, they have almost drawn the same attack curve on the map, and the countermeasures are exactly the same. Want to eat the opponent's offensive force, once and for all solve the opponent's field armor.

"Interesting! It's really interesting!" Zhu Kefu smiled a few times before patting his palm twice, as if applauding the commander of the other party, and seemingly preparing his own attack plan.

However, it is one thing to see through the opponent's plan, and how to deal with the opponent's plan is another matter. The Germans saw through Zhukov's Kharkiv trap and responded by giving up the bait in front of him and changing an offensive direction to avoid fighting with the Soviet Red Army.

Now the same question is in front of Zhukov. How he chooses is the key decision of the battle. Whether the Soviet Union, like the Germans, gave up its plan to attack Kiev, or made other choices depending on the chief commander standing in front of the map at the Minsk command headquarters.

"The retreat along the way, then the entire offensive cluster is safe, this war can continue to fight!" Zhukov took another step in front of the map, he walked back and forth, thinking repeatedly about the different consequences of different choices: "But The attack by Guderian Nan will cause Temuxin to lose half of his troops. At least 400,000 people will be surrounded in Donetsk. We cannot bear this loss anyway! "

He went to the other side of the map and looked at the position of the f group army commanded by the immovable German commander Klug, and shook his head to deny his idea of ​​changing the offensive route: the German f group army It is not a second-class soldier like the Soviet Red Army in Donetsk. It is not easy to eat Klug ’s f army in one breath, just like Guderian eats the Soviet Red Army in the direction of Donetsk. thing. In case of a delay, and dragged to the A group army to a fixed position, it is really completely finished.

In other words, the only advantage in Zhukov's hand now is that there is a time difference of about 3 to 4 days when attacking the direction of Kiev. Once the time is used up, the A group army that rushes over will cut off his back path and let His situation fell from heaven to hell.

"Damn, unconsciously, how could the Germans have so many difficult generals and so many difficult troops?" Zhu Kefu complained bitterly, and then he called his adjutant to explain Dao: "Give a telegram to Comrade Stalin! State the current situation of our army! Let Comrade Stalin make the decision, how should we choose!"

An hour later, Zhukov received the top-secret telegram from Moscow. After reading it, Zhukov smiled bitterly, then lit the match himself and burned the order from Moscow.

He then returned to his office, sat alone for more than ten minutes, and finally made a crazy decision: "The Germans were afraid at the most critical time, and they chose to avoid difficulties! Our Soviet Red Army will not be timid! We meet our challenge! Order Vasilevsky and let his 3rd front continue to storm forward! Everything is carried out according to the original plan! We use the Soviets' own way to decide the victory or defeat! "

"Yes! Comrade Commander!" The deputy commander solemnly paid a military salute: "The great motherland is with us!"
