"We must maintain a state of defense on the Eastern Front, and what state the war preparations in the Soviet Union have entered. I am very clear, but the command of the head of state must adhere to the strategy of strategic defense." General Liszt took a phone call to a division commander there. Commanded.
He hung up the phone and looked at General Klug, who was sitting beside him, smiled bitterly and picked up his teacup: "Klug, I really do n’t know why I missed such a golden opportunity. Our The soldiers are ready, and a total of 2.3 million troops are hoarding on the Eastern Front, but they have to wait for the Soviets to start. "
"The head of state ordered to wait, and my troops were scheduled to wait." Klug replied with a smile: "Even if Moscow is in front of me, as long as I receive the order of the head of state, then my troops will stop and wait."
Compared to General Liszt, Klug ’s commanding ability is not outstanding. To put it bluntly, some Klug, like Ryder, is the only reason for being placed on the Eastern Front is reassuring loyalty. Therefore, Akado is willing to hand over the army to Klug, because the fact is that Klug never does something superfluous.
Some generals are easy to change combat commands without authorization. Their talents are also capable of capturing fighters. The reason for their disobedience is to be able to win. These generals are relatively strong "geniuses", so Akado gives these people the freedom to play. , Such as Dunnitz, Guderian, Rommel; some people are old-fashioned and do not move like mountains. They are traditional German generals. Such people can use it with confidence and the results are quite satisfactory. For example, Lundstadt, Liszt , Kettle; and some people are capable but not very comfortable with it, because they can only be used for various reasons, such as Brahich, Bock; of course, there is a class of people who use not very well Comfortable and loyal, there are also problems, almost killed by the head of state ...
The last type of German generals were Generals such as Redl and Klug. They were loyal to many people in Akka, but their ability to command operations needs to be improved. Akado likes to use such generals, because they faithfully execute Akado's orders, which can often achieve unexpected and amazing results under Akado's accurate "prediction".
Therefore, the highest commander in the Eastern Front, Akado, chose the moderate Kluger rather than the more capable Liszt or Moder. And Klug did his best to restrain General Liszt and other generals, wholeheartedly strengthening the defense system of the Eastern Front, waiting for the Soviets to launch a "sudden" attack one morning.
At this moment, several army groups on the Eastern Front are trying their best to complete the defense line within their jurisdiction. This time, Germany is fully prepared for the Soviet attack. With a large defense theory in depth, a total of 15 lines of defense were prepared for the Soviets in the Polish region.
Millions of troops are idle and idle. Apart from training and vacation, the remaining time is to dig trenches with Polish concentration camp workers. Although these 15 lines of defense are not huge permanent defenses, they are used to deal with them. The Soviet Red Army, whose firepower and mobility do not have any advantages, is definitely more than enough.
These fortifications were deployed in the shape of gear edges, or a bit like the wall gates on the Great Wall. Some solid lines of defense are on the front, and the sides are also carefully constructed. Once the Soviets begin to attack, they will find that some areas are easy to break through, and some areas cannot advance half a step.
Behind these prominent defensive positions, elite German infantry and armor were deployed. Once the Soviet Union entered the recessed portions of these concave tooth positions, it was equivalent to hitting one end into the carefully arranged pockets of the German defenders. The German defenders will close these pockets with the cooperation of the armored forces and the air force, besieging the Soviet "invaders" inside.
The German Supreme Command has conducted numerous deductions and evaluations of this large-depth defense position. General Blauchich and other generals have conservatively estimated that the Soviet Union may use 1.5 million people to fill the first 10 defensive positions. The general believed that this line of defense would have no problem eating up 2 million people in the Soviet Union. As for the price Germany has to pay, everyone's predictions are relatively consistent, with only a loss of about 200,000 to 300,000 people.
However, once the Soviet-German war started in full, behind the 2.3 million regular troops on the German border, there were still about 700,000 reserves. The positive force comparison between the two sides is not simply 3 million vs. 5 million, but a total of 5 million troops from Germany, Romania, Italy and France against the 5 million troops of the Soviet Union-Germany has an absolute advantage in armor and air force.
If you count the potential ally Turkey ’s investment of at least 700,000 regular troops, and the possible strength of Finland, Ireland and other countries, the Axis Group even has an advantage in strength. As for the advantage, it depends on Germany on the frontal battlefield. How good is the assault force.
In fact, these days the Soviets are not idle, they are actively preparing to "burn the red flames all over Europe". Millions of Stalin believers took up their weapons and were armed into the Soviet Red Army, preparing for a world war with Germany, the source of evil. For this war, the Soviet Union prepared a full 5 million regular troops. These troops were not the soft persimmons when the Soviet Union attacked Poland, but the strengthened and genuine Soviet Red Army. They did not even lose to armored forces. In Germany, I even had some advantages in some areas.
Summing up the experiences and lessons of various countries over the past two years, Soviet leader Stalin paid more attention to the construction and development of armored forces than the United States. Soviet engineers improved the T-26 tank and strengthened frontal armor. Of course, in addition to the t-26 tank that has suffered a loss in front of the Germans, the real killer of the Soviets is a full 2500 KV-1 heavy tanks.
The Soviet army with 5,000 tanks along the Soviet-German border has reason to believe that their troops deliberately broke through the German defense line. Both Stalin and Khrushchev were full of confidence in the Soviet war against Germany. The mayors and secretaries of Warsaw and Berlin have been appointed.
And some Soviet generals who are familiar with the German team are also very optimistic about this battle. For example, Zhukov, who has now become the deputy commander of the Soviet Union in the Far East, is full of confidence in attacking Germany. After studying the German team ’s fighting method, he proposed The view that the German artillery is insufficient.
Zhukov accurately found the short board of insufficient German artillery, and put forward his own views on the war: the Germans kept advancing during the offensive process, that is, they kept moving fast, so they preferred the flexible small Caliber artillery, so they are not good at defensive operations. In the defense, they lack artillery support and will collapse faster than other opponents.
This is not just his own opinion, but the opinion of many Soviet generals. So the argument from the top Soviet Union was: "Instead of waiting for the Germans to attack, it is better for us to concentrate on fighting first. In this way, the Germans can only be forced to defend, and we have the advantage."
Speaking of which, we have to briefly introduce the differences in details between the Soviet army and those of other countries.
The Soviet Union is used to sealing out obsolete weapons, storing some unused weapons and equipment, and having special personnel to maintain them. Although these weapons are outdated equipment to a certain extent, they are still usable real guys.
In the peaceful years of the Soviet army, each main division had a division and two deputy divisions. In the same way, each regiment has two deputy commanders, each battalion has two deputy battalions, and each company has two deputy commanders, and each platoon has two platoon leaders ...
Once the Soviet Union entered a state of war, the main division was ordered to go to the front, leaving a deputy commander, two or three deputy commanders, four or six deputy commanders, a dozen deputy company commanders, hundreds Deputy platoon leader-now everyone knows, this is almost the skeleton of a division.
Of course, when it comes to combat power, this "shadow division" is certainly not as good as the main division that left, but after adding the troops, this is indeed a division, a new unit capable of combat.
This new force is composed of reserve and retired personnel, receiving outdated and old equipment. These old equipment happened to be familiar weapons used by reserve personnel and retired soldiers, so this unit five years ago or even ten years ago can immediately form combat power and can quickly enter the front line combat.
This is why, after another time and space World War II, Germany wiped out the 3 million Soviet troops in one breath, the Soviet front still maintained more than 3 million troops. This is why Soviet troops seem to have endless "secrets".
Like another time and space, the German spies did not peep through this simple little secret. They faithfully reported the information they tried to detect to the German Supreme Command: the intelligence shows that there are about 370 divisions of the Soviet troops and the total strength is about 500 Between 6 million and 6 million. However, until the Soviet Union's virtual and real Akado knew, the Soviet Union's real combat strength was about 10 million-provided that they had so many weapons to arm these soldiers.
Compared with Hitler, Akado and the current German generals have an invisible advantage. This advantage is that the British and American supplies will not be as much as they were in 1942 in another time and space. Britain is now overwhelmed with self-care, and there are not so many supplies to the Soviet Red Army. So whether the Soviets can get American aid and how much they can get, these are hard to say at present-but, Akado knows, there must be no more.
