My Third Empire

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

Zhukov, who had just left Minsk by train, received a telegram from Stalin from Moscow. The content above is very vague, but one thing is clear, that is, Stalin changed his attention. He hopes that frontline troops can stick to Minsk, or at least stick to it. Live in Smolensk.

"As soon as the Germans bombed Stalingrad, Comrade Stalin sent such an ambiguous telegram. What on earth did it mean?" Vasilevsky, the 3rd Armored Front Guard of the Guard, the most complete preserved force in the entire Central Region He was sitting next to Zhukov, looking at the telegram, he seemed to be asking and answering.

Zhukov took a sip of clear water from the teacup and looked out of the window: "Is there any reason why Minsk is so powerful that the Germans are about the same distance from Moscow as Stalingrad, if the Germans are the same Bombing Moscow, the problem is complicated. "

As the capital of the Soviet Union, the city of Moscow is not London in the United Kingdom or Paris in France. It is a city deep in the Soviet complex and has the largest strategic depth in the world. If the city is attacked by the enemy, it will be a kind of destruction for the entire country ’s will to resist.

So Stalin changed his mind, hoping that Zhukov could hold on to Minsk and Smolensk, so that the depth of Moscow still exists, at least it can provide Moscow with a buffer zone for air security.

Thinking of this, Zhukov smiled bitterly and then withdrew his gaze: "Comrade Vasilevsky and Comrade Stalin don't know much about military matters. Now the evacuation order has been issued and the entire central region's troops are At the time of retreating, if the order to retreat is withdrawn at this time, it is estimated that the Germans are not required to make trouble, and we will first make trouble ourselves. "

"Abandoning Minsk is already an established strategy. It is no good to stick here. We have also destroyed the field airport. The bridges were destroyed according to plan ... Now the retreat is stopped, which is no different from suicide." Vasilev Sky said.

Everyone on the front line knows that Minsk ca n’t keep it now. Germany ’s differentiated treatment policy in Ukraine gives Belarus hope. The civilians here believe that they can become a beautiful third empire if they get rid of Soviet rule. Part of it is the people liberated by the Germans.

The retreating Soviet army also proved the correctness of this view. They took away all the food, winter necessities, even the horses and cars were robbed away. After a little resistance, they shot and killed, forcing The locals acted as manpower to dig up the roads and destroy their homes.

Compared to these ongoing crimes, the German bombing of Minsk was selectively forgotten by everyone. After all, these locals are more willing to believe that the bombing was directed at Soviet troops than local civilians. They look forward to the arrival of the German army and pray that the German army will treat Belarus as it does Ukraine.

"Let the local troops of Belarus be cut off. Once their hometown is lost, then these troops will become our burden in the future, and we must guard against the burden of their rebellion at any time." Zhukov said after thinking for a while The troops were thrown on the battlefield to block traffic and affect the German pursuit speed. I think these troops can only be used as barricades now. "

In any case, since the Moscow side wants to hold the defensive position as far as possible, it will set up obstacles for the German long-range bombing. Well, as a front-line commander, Zhukov must give Stalin a statement that he must work hard to compromise Stalin's mission to consolidate Stalin's trust in him.

Now it is absolutely impossible to turn around and stay in Minsk. Even if Zhukov dared to give such an order, Minsk will definitely fall within a dozen days. This is contrary to Stalin ’s hope and hundreds of thousands of waste. Strength. Zhukov is not a fool, and naturally would not choose such an idiot option.

So now, where to set up the first line of defense, has become a place to test Zhukov. If it is too close to Minsk, it is likely that the foothold will be unstable, and the Germans will be caught up and break through the defense line, causing the entire defense line to fall into a dangerous situation of collapse. And if it is too far from Minsk, Stalin will be dissatisfied, and now the Soviet leader is worried about Moscow being attacked by the German Air Force.

"The first line of defense was laid between Vitebsk and Mogilev, where they invested their guard force, played a fight with the Germans, and then gave up their defense on this line and stabilized their line of defense in Smolensk, This is the best choice. "The secretary was asked to get the combat map. Zhu Kefu looked at it for a while before choosing this line of defense as the main defense zone against the Germans.

"Now, it depends on our opponent, Lundstedt, what a good appetite!" Zhukov murmured after looking at the map after looking at the defensive position.

...

"Of course I have a good appetite! Give me enough troops, and even Moscow will be the target of the attack." Lundstadt is standing in front of the map, meeting all the commanders of his armored forces: " The southern region has been forced to stop the offensive due to continuous fighting. What about us? Do all of you here need to rest? "

All the officers laughed loudly, and they only advanced dozens of kilometers. Now if they are called to rest, then they are really going to be laughed at by their colleagues. What they need now is not rest and replenishment, but anxious to replace the shells with medals and wear them on their chests.

"Since everyone here does not need to rest, then we must speed up our offensive. The SS 13th Armored Division, after occupying Minsk, continue to attack in the direction of Borisov ... SS 1st Armored Division, attack Direction Berezino ... The remaining armored forces of the 2nd Armored Corps, after capturing Krupki, attacked Holopnicki northward! Bypassing Orsha Highlands, attacking in the direction of Vitebsk! "He Pointing at the map, begin to assign offensive tasks. If the G group army is the fist of the southern cluster attack, then the A group army is the number one trump card in the central region. This group army has two armed SS armored divisions, and the combat effectiveness is quite terrible.

"Infantry followed the armored forces quickly, biting the main forces of the Soviet Red Army who were retreating. Zhukov was not a fool, so we should pay attention to our position while biting the opponent's attack, and don't go too far alone." I specially told all the officers and men who participated in the meeting: "Ignore the enemy and enter the army that fell into Zhukov's counterattack, so I will go back and be a guard force for a lifetime! Do you understand?"

"Okay! The meeting is here. After the ministries go back, they start to attack. When the infantry enter Minsk, be careful. Although our reconnaissance force has confirmed that the Soviet troops in the direction of Minsk seem to be retreating, but this information is only now. Can be used as a reference. "Lundstedt took the scepter symbolizing the marshal, and then the assistant put the army coat on his shoulder and turned and walked out of the meeting room.

All the officers quickly stood up and raised their hands to see him off: "Long live Akado? Rudolf!"

...

"The order came down, and the offensive continued." After the meeting, Weitman returned to the side of his tank car and smiled and put the log book in his file bag, and then reached out and stood on the tank body. With the hand extended, the two hands were held together, and at the same time, with great force, Weitman jumped easily from the side onto the body of the Tiger tank.

"Driver! Starting the tank, we were ordered to cross the city and enter the first batch of Minsk!" Weitman got into the captain's hatch, expertly put on his headphones, and then ordered: "Follow the front Armored vehicles, pay attention to the movement of the two wings, we are responsible for covering these grenadiers, quasi-propelled grenades, and reloading at any time. "

"Hey, I said, Captain. The Soviets really gave us Minsk White? Are we going to win? Won the whole war?" The loader asked Wittmann while drilling into the tank.

"Won? If they fought us in Minsk, then we won." Weitman smiled bitterly. It seems that it was not only Christmas in 1938, but Christmas in 1939. Unable to go back, reunited with his family.

But as an imperial soldier, spending Christmas with family members and Christmas with comrades-in-arms are actually the same. It is nothing more than the difference between listening to the bells for a wonderful Christmas Eve or listening to the cannons for a cruel Christmas Eve.

As the tank started, Weitman shook his body slightly, and the tank ran over the gravel and started heading in the direction of Minsk. The grenadier carrying his weapon in the armored vehicle in front, looked around cautiously, and then went forward, a Grenadier No. 3 assault gun.

Along with the bright sunshine in the early morning, the vanguard of the German army drove into the streets and alleys of Minsk. The citizens carried baskets and looked at these enemies that had never been seen before, with handsome helmets and dirty white field battles. Camouflage. Unlike what was imagined, these soldiers were even more casually dressed than the Soviet Red Army who had just left. They slouched their arms, stood on the street corner and talked against the wall, and drew their eyes deep in the shadow of the helmet eaves. , Carefully observing every pedestrian around.

On the armored car, the hand of the grenadier was still pressed against the machine gun fixed on the car g42. Above the machine gun, the bullet chain was hanging randomly. The roar of the tanks pushed the residents of some buildings to open the windows. The children were in groups, watching German soldiers put a huge German flag on the flagpole of the municipal government building.
