"It’s a good thing not to be greedy for credit. I won’t forget the Caucasus. I hope you won’t let me down." arcado said to Meinster because while watching the parade troops walk through the street, "Rest the troops and then get rid of Donetsk with the guderian troops first and then enter the Caucasus as planned."
"yes! My head of state! " Meinster got up and saluted because he wanted to.
His move was stopped by arcado. "Okay, let’s watch the military parade together. I’ll design the link later. Fanny said it’s very good. You can also see it. I’m showing off. Hehehe."
"Fuehrer, it has been proved that you are the soul of the Third Reich, and I am willing to follow in your footsteps all my life." Meinster praised kung fu, which is not too much compared with his command ability, and let his words make arcado feel cool-it feels really not good to be praised by the leading German strategist.
Finally, the drama was magnificent. In the military music, the German ceremonial soldiers dressed neatly and marched in a neat goose step to the viewing platform. Each of them held a flag of the Soviet Red Army in his hand. The first few people held the flag of the army. These flags were all mopping the floor upside down. The German soldiers took these flags upside down and walked to the burning flame in the middle of the road.
Chapter 7 71 Combustion
However, this is the idea that arcado thought that the bridge was another time when China and the Soviet Union fell two German military flags during the military parade after their victory in 1945. This idea was born in 115 years when the Russian army defeated Napoleon’s invasion and threw the invaders’ flags at the tsar’s feet.
At another time, the Red Army of the Soviet Union threw two German flags upside down and finally threw them in front of Lenin’s Mausoleum. The military flags came from various famous regiments in Germany, which was really shocking to the extreme. Adolf was the most important one? The flag of Hitler’s Guard Flag arcado also has its own guard flag, but this flag of honor guard is flying next to the flag of the Fuehrer.
There is no memorial cemetery in the Third Reich. After all, arcado, the founder of this empire, is still sitting on the viewing platform, enjoying the cheers and palms of several people. Finally, these Soviet army flags were thrown into the flames and burned by the raging fire.
"General Meinster, our starting point is already near the victory line. What do you think if we launch a surprise attack now?" Arcado asked Meinster around him as he watched the German infantry phalanx walk through the strip.
After careful consideration, Meinster hesitated and replied, "My head of state suggested that the second phase of the new Barbarossa plan should be suspended. Once a large-scale assault occurs, the pressure on the tank forces will surge, but there is no turning back at that time. The risk is too great for us."
Arcado sighed, and some Nye said, "Our general, the Soviet Union and the United States are also growing in help. We have defended and counterattacked twice. If we don’t carry out an offensive war, what if we have an explanation for the people of our country? You know, the defense side has always been relatively disadvantaged, and our defense cost is not small. "
Meinster, of course, knows the reason why arcado is in a hurry. The Germans have stepped on the threshold of victory. At this time, they can maintain their advantages without making mistakes. But the more they get to this time, the more anxious they are. This is a psychological problem. It is already very rational for arcado to still listen at this time.
Thought of here, Meinster replied slowly, "The armored forces will continue to consume in the process of long-distance advancement. The Soviets will consume our elite armored forces by booby traps and some ambushes. At this time, even if we attack Moscow, our armored forces will lose less than half."
The terrible strategic depth of the Soviet Union is their best line of defense. Even if there is no constant interference and sniper by the defenders, this road will run away and scrap several tracks and scrap thousands of computing engines and transmissions. This terrible distance can make the Germans tired of each other, and their sharpest attack will eventually become a lonely March.
"What do you mean? It is necessary to consume the effective strength of Soviet troops again and continue to attack in the direction of Moscow? " Arcado frowning wanted to think, finally unwilling to ask that.
In fact, before he came to participate in this grand victory parade, the Army General Staff gave an answer similar to that of Meinster. Brauchich personally reviewed with arcado and admitted that the Army General Staff had underestimated the Soviet combat readiness.
Before attacking the Soviet Union, the High Command predicted that a small number of troops in the Soviet Union were worthy of attention and the mobilization force would not exceed 50,000. So optimistic, it was estimated that it would be an easy task for the generals of the General Staff to defeat the Soviet Union. Even a few months ago, the army’s strength was evaluated to wipe out the Soviet Union and no national mobilization was carried out.
However, it turns out that Fuehrer arcado personally sat in the High Command to make an assessment, which was more accurate. In combination with the intelligence of the Army and the intelligence of the SS, the Germans have mastered the appalling accuracy. How detailed is this assessment report? Even the number of troops that the Soviet Union can mobilize is accurate to the unit of thousands.
With this detailed strength assessment, the worst preparations were made to annihilate 150,000 to 10,000 Soviet soldiers before the outbreak of the arcado war. However, this assessment adjusted the Soviet mobilization ability when Ukraine changed hands after the war, and now the Soviet mobilization ability is almost 10,000 people.
But even though the Germans have won so many battles, they still have no ability to swallow up the Soviet Union. The high command conservatively estimates that it will take 20,000 to 40,000 Soviet troops to attack Moscow and destroy the Soviet Union.
It is a pity that it is unrealistic to expect the Soviet Union to launch another hasty attack and bury such a large number of troops. The first-line combat forces of the Soviet Union have passed the test of brutal war and their tactical quality has been horribly improved. More importantly, a large number of terrible and powerful characters have been born among the front-line commanders of the Soviet Union. These people are not like idiots who suddenly become stupid or have a hot head, but are as talented as the first-line German generals.
"I think since the plan of the Fuehrer has been confirmed, we should not change it easily. On the one hand, we are not in a hurry. On the other hand, we have a trail to follow when we do things." Meinster replied slowly because he watched the Soviet flag being thrown into the fire and burned
Akkado smiled and let go. "I am too entangled, but if Marshal Rommel is sitting next to me today, he will surely tell me to attack as soon as possible and tear the enemy’s defense lines to the farthest place."
"My head of state organized an attack or tried his best to organize an attack. In this respect, I am really not as creative as Marshal Rommel. I am more suitable for fighting and fighting to win." Meinster said to arcado with a smile.
Arcado nodded. "I have a Rommel and a Meinster. I also have a guderian, a Liszt, a weichs and a keitel … This is good. I think I mean, you will be in vain, right?"
Everyone is different. Everyone is unique. Rommel has made a name for himself in the vast desert. Meinster has no need to regret it, because there is an equally vast Caucasus waiting for him to gallop. This is what arcado means. Meinster is of course white.
"Soon the whole Donetsk will fall into our hands and Kharkov will be occupied by Stalingrad … Stalingrad … Are you sure to completely uproot this Caucasus nail?" Arcado remembered that he had seen Khrushchev growling at the genus in the film, and he still remembered that line today. "This is not Kursk, it is not Tusk, it is not Kiev … this is Stalingrad, it is Stalin-Geller! It is named after the leader, and it is a symbol. "
"This city is really an important town in the Soviet Union, but its name gives it limited political significance. It is doubtful that it will be a great blow to Stalin’s personal prestige in the Soviet Union to capture this city." Meinster replied after thinking about it, "But it is more in our interest to capture it in a hurry than to use bait there to destroy the effective forces of the Soviet Union."
Arcado nodded his head and agreed with Meinster. He knew that once the second phase of the New Barbarossa Plan was implemented, the whole world war would become another appearance. Finland and Turkey would attack the Soviet Union and Germany from the north and south wings and crush the fire all the way to Moscow. At that time, it was the German card that made the best of the situation. Whether it was victory or defeat could passively see the opponent’s reaction.
The war against the Caucasus is not a private duel, not a personal grudge of arcado Stalin, he is not Hitler, he is not obsessed with destroying the city called Stalingrad, and even he is unwilling to face the city that seems to never fall, because the street fighting there really pits the German elite.
So arcado is very much in favor of Meinster because of his idea. It is a good way to deal with the city by encircling it and not attacking it. If necessary, he feels that he can bypass it and come back and try to capture it.
Looking at the burning flame in front of the viewing platform, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from Crimea and various military flags. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of people waiting to be encircled by the Germans in the southern part of the eastern front. One after another, it is really gratifying that rundstedt in the northern region has been on the front line and the elite is putting pressure on the Soviet army day and night. It is simply a matter of time before everything is implemented step by step according to the German drama.
Arcado doesn’t know how many Soviet flags he has to burn before he can go to the negotiating table with Stalin, but he is more eager for that day than ever. After all, the war has been long enough and he has lost enough.
"You’re right!" Akkado looked at Meinster because "Give me Stalin back to the negotiating table! This is an order! "
Meinster smiled so naturally "yes, my head of state! I will bring you victory! "
Chapter 71 72 Whaling
The cold wind blowing from the wilderness makes people involuntarily wrap up their clothes. The cold wind in the Ukrainian plain is enough to make people wearing thick cotton-padded clothes feel cold, which is a complete disaster for people who lack food and clothing.
About 40 thousand people were finally surrounded by the encirclement near Donetsk. These Soviet troops trudged through the cold and ice in an attempt to escape from this huge encirclement, but in the end they failed. They were compressed into a small space and could not even break through.
Although the number of the Soviet Red Army is still small and has an absolute advantage over the Germans in every surrounding direction, they are short of ammunition and food, and even the trench has been lost. Now they are fragile and lack of fighting spirit, and they can’t cope with the German encirclement and interception.
Hundreds of cannons were thrown into the escape road, and mortars were just like a scrap pipe. People in the field can find these mortar shells and the aiming device of the split gun rack not far away. If you rummage carefully, you can occasionally find the shell box … It seems to the German army that this is definitely a rout of organizational discipline.
