Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Just as there were four gunshots in a basement in the distant central region of Italy, at the southernmost end of the Eastern Front battlefield, the German 1st Mountain Division was over the forest in front of them, and behind this mountain, It is what they have always hoped to reach, the terminal of this expedition: Baku. ⊙Top vertex novel,
This is the root of the Soviet Union becoming a world industrial power in a short time, and this is the oil-producing area that the Germans have longed for. As long as the German flag is inserted in this land, then the Soviet Union, which is rich in oil in the world, will switch positions with the oil-poor Third Reich.
So when Soviet Red Army soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain saw German soldiers, fierce gun battles broke out again on both sides. Everyone wants to compete for these lands, then they can only use blood to judge who is more suitable to rule this land. The Germans launched a violent charge, and the Soviets also launched the most tenacious counterattack.
"There was news from the 402nd Regiment that they had a German presence on their front." A staff member pointed to the location of the 402th Regiment on the map and reported to his chief the fighting that had just occurred: "The Germans launched a tentative attack, But the firepower is quite fierce. "
"Should we start to blow up oil production equipment?" The commander glanced at the person in charge of the engineering unit and asked, "Comrade Colonel, for insurance, if you agree, we should now sign and blow up here." Of oil extraction equipment. "
The Germans have surrounded here, and a few of the oil transport ships have also been sunk near the dock. Baku can be said to have been completely isolated from the world, at least they have not received any decent supplements for half a month. This puts Baku ’s defense system at risk of a complete collapse, so the several Soviet generals present have a feeling of powerlessness in the absence of generals.
A large amount of supplies were taken away and sent to Moscow to fight the battle that determined the fate of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the remaining value of this remote oil production area is nothing more than to destroy all equipment and not to leave a drop of oil to the Germans. But after all, this is a huge project that requires systematic planning and is not as easy to operate as imagined.
Even if you blow up a bridge, you need to repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, not to mention the huge thing that blows up an entire oil field. This is similar to the scale of blowing up a city on its own, and even more than the bombing of a huge city in terms of economic value and possible future impact.
"A call from the 51st Army Headquarters, they found an enemy army wearing German SS uniforms on their front, judged to be the main force of Manstein, the 8th Panzer Division of the SS." Another Soviet army officer He pinched the document and walked into the messy headquarters. The news he brought confirmed that the situation was deteriorating further. The main force of the German army had bypassed the rolling mountains and appeared on the narrow plain near Baku.
That's not an unknown troop of various brands, it's the 8th Panzer Division of the German SS! When this unit went south into the Caucasus, it had beaten the dream advance speed of Rommel and Guderian. This unit went south all the way, a little faster than the 200,000 defeated Soviet Red Army. The Soviet deployment of Baku defensive operations was completely disrupted.
The more terrible thing is that this unit is generally used as a fist offensive by the general known as the German wise general, and behind this unit is the main force of the famous m group army, the first of the National Defense Forces. 13 Armored Forces.
Counting the 13th armored army, Manstein placed more than 800 tanks of various models and assault guns on the front. These heavy armored vehicles happened to be an absolute superiority that the Soviet Red Army did not have. It is a pity that these Soviet troops guarded near Baku did not have enough anti-tank weapons.
"Damn, this Manstein was too stable! At the beginning of going south, this guy was still advancing fast. We deliberately let out the flaws and wanted to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains and disrupt his supply line. Who knows "" A staff member looked at the map angrily and complained quietly.
Another officer standing next to him shook his head and agreed with his colleague's words: "At the beginning, the speed was very fast, but as soon as I entered the mountain, I was steady and step by step-the most annoying. Still, taking advantage of the step-by-step opportunity, he actually turned around and devoured the hundreds of thousands of scattered troops that surrounded him! He had calculated our ideas well before he could be accurate. At this point! "
Those who are not familiar with Manstein will surely be completely smitten by the mad advance of the ten days before he went south. This general who did not have a reputation in France and had no ambitions in Ukraine until the attack and defense of the Crimean peninsula alone became truly familiar to the Allied seniors. This general who likes to accurately quantify his attack steps can be said to be a true battle master. Compared with Rommel and Guderian, his greater advantage lies in the precise control of the troops.
He has been serving as a staff member within the National Defence Force and was devolved from the staff headquarters to the troops. So he has more experience and ideas as a staff than generals like Rommel Guderian who have been on the front line. He attaches great importance to the supply of troops, and is good at thinking about the enemy's ideas and the countermeasures that should be taken. He is convinced that he does not make mistakes and then waits for the enemy to make mistakes, which is the truth of victory on the battlefield.
So when his troops were about to enter the mountainous area, he immediately cautiously gathered his footsteps, and then turned back, mobilizing the follow-up infantry, and smashed the Soviet troops scattered behind him to completely clean up. . The reason is simple. He is unwilling to expose his troops' logistics supply line under the muzzle of the enemy guerrillas, so he would rather delay the advancement to Baku.
However, in fact, he should not have been silent for such a long time. The more complicated reason is that in order to organize the northward battle of the installation of the A-G Army in Guderry, the fuel of his southward army was cut off for several days. Therefore, he ordered the armored forces that detoured from Chechnya to the Baku Plains and had to wait for a long time before they embarked on the journey again.
Of course, this is not the inside information that the Soviet defenders in Baku can know. They only know that Manstein stopped the pace of his progress where he should stop, leaving them a huge Failure, and similar to the one-sided battlefield situation.
"Have you contacted the Caspian fleet? If they are willing to help, there should be some equipment that can be snatched away ..." A Soviet general sitting in the office spoke, since General Rokosovsky was in Stalin After the Gühle rebellion (which is so understood in the Soviet Union), there were no decent senior generals in the southern theater. At the earliest, Timo Singh had been ordered to take over the command of Baku, but he had not been here yet, Stalinger Le fell.
It is precisely because of this that all defenses here need to be discussed and resolved by the commanders of several armies and front forces, and the speed of dealing with the problem is also slower. For example, on the issue of how to deal with the oil refining equipment in Baku, everyone has two opinions: transport away and blow up.
Since the German fw-190d fighter began to appear in the Caucasus sky, the blue sky and white clouds here have been ruled by gray camouflage German fighters. These Third Reich aircraft patronize the Caspian waters around Baku every day and destroy all the ships they see.
Thanks to the Stuttgart and Stuttgart 2 bombers piloted by these German pilots, fewer and fewer vessels dared to load and unload petroleum equipment at the port near Baku, so the plan to transport these large equipment has become The progress is unusually slow. As the German ground troops gradually approached, the idea of ​​blowing up these devices became more and more dominant.
"At night, two other ships will venture to shore, but the tonnage is limited, so they can't carry anything. The injured side has been delayed for two days. If it is not arranged this night ..." The officer of the transport fleet quickly answered all the news he knew. For many days, he could only say something depressing, and today is no exception.
"Then we can only blow up all the equipment! Start with some important, immovable large equipment, first remove the important parts, and then blow up with explosives!" The general who was temporarily selected to deal with the matter He said, "If there is not enough explosives, use shells! In short, we cannot leave anything to the Germans ..."
The atmosphere in the room became suppressed, after all, it was a very worrying thing to blow up these devices. Now the soldiers holding steel guns and putting explosives on these devices may have been the workers who assembled these devices. They built Baku today in ten years, but after a command, they dedicated themselves to the motherland. All of your youth is blown up.
"But." At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit who could enter and leave the headquarters suddenly opened his mouth and expressed his different opinions. He is not a soldier, but he represents many government officials here: "If we blow up these devices, there will be no bargaining chips with General Manstein!"
His words made everyone look at him. Under Stalin's order to destroy Baku and coexist with Baku, he said that there was no difference between treason and treason. But he still spoke calmly and continued to make the words brighten everyone's eyes: "The Germans want oil, we give it to him. Everyone can live, right?"
