Guderian knew that Zhukov had gone south, and this level of force transfer was completed in such a hasty time, and he could not conceal anyone. What can be hidden is how many troops go south, what constitutes it, and what the Soviet Union wants to do this time.
The Soviet army took the simplest means of self-preservation on this journey south, that is, day and night. Although this method caused difficulties in German reconnaissance, it also caused trouble for the Soviets themselves. Their southward speed was extremely slow. For the Germans who already knew that some Soviet troops went south, there was really no surprise.
Therefore, the G Group Army did not rush north, but settled in the southwestern part of Kursk. They are waiting for the Soviet army to go south to prepare for a fight to wait for work, and also wait for Stalingrad behind them to score a victory or defeat. After all, having a solid rear is the basis of the attack.
Belgorod has been occupied by Germany, and Guderian ’s vanguard has moved north along the banks of the Don River, occupying almost all of Voronezh, and only a few days away from Voronezh, the capital of Voronezh.
"The Soviet army left Moscow and went south, it seems that it has made its own judgment. The shortage of oil in our a group army seems to have finally leaked, or ... Mr. Stalin who I ≠ ≤ our opinion, Stalingrad With Baku, it is more important than the capital Moscow. "Guderian looked at the map, the Soviet army marked with more and more details, and said to his chief of staff:" How is our army resting? "
The chief of staff nodded and told Guderian some of the troop he knew about: "We did not encounter violent resistance from the enemy when we attacked the Don River, so the troops have maintained a high level of rest. Some The troops began to change to Tiger King tanks. Overall, our advantage is very obvious. "
"Well, the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion, temporarily acting with the SS ’s third armored division, is now stationed behind the SS troops near Lisky." Guderian did not take out his killer, and It is to hide the troops that have newly replaced the Tiger King tank.
After unremitting efforts, Germany finally improved its tank production capacity with a fully automatic production line. Now the production speed of the German King Tiger tank is very fast, which is the main reason why the German front-line troops can replace the King Tiger tank on a large scale. With this new type of tank, Akado and his generals are confident of gaining an advantage in the battle of tanks.
The current situation on the entire battlefield and the German plan were slightly different. These movements were basically caused by the Soviet Red Army troops going south. The original German plan was to continue the northward movement with Guderian's G Army, capture Tambov Oblast, and threaten the Moscow line of defense from the flanks. However, now that the Soviet troops went south, if the G Group Army continued to go north, its flanks would also be threatened. Therefore, the German army revised its combat plan and decided to wipe out the southward Soviet troops in the Kursk region before continuing the north attack.
Therefore, the attack plan of the northward attack on Tambov was postponed, and the Germans could only deal with the counterattacked Soviet Red Army first. The specific direction was already clear, and the Soviets used the fastest speed they could get out into the Kursk region where the Germans had not yet fully occupied it.
Do n’t think that the Soviet Union ’s ghost weather and their foolhardy infrastructure only caused trouble for the Germans. In fact, Zhukov had been using his armored forces on such a large scale, only to discover that he had pitted others ’things. Pit yourself! The Soviet armored forces traveled south all the way. In addition to avoiding interference and investigation by German aircraft, they also had to fight against the road.
A heavy rain made Zhukov happy for several hours, but his follow-up troops were all stuck in the mud. Hundreds of thousands of troops marched in the dark. With the help of locals, he finally managed to rush to Kursk.
The Soviet troops were busy preparing to continue their operations south, and the Germans were not idle. The entire German intelligence service and the front-line reconnaissance forces were extremely tense. Everyone wanted to understand a problem, that is, the Soviets wanted to fight there. , And where I want to fight.
"Hello? Hello! Right! I am the Chief of Staff of the G Army. Is there any news from the reconnaissance forces directly under the Army ... I need to be accurate. What is the number of enemy troops and how many heavy weapons ... Yes, yes ... Okay, I know. "On the one hand, the chief of staff was on the phone, wanting to get results from the air reconnaissance forces directly under the group army, and on the other hand, a group of telegraphers were receiving reports on the various forces.
"The 26th Infantry Army just called. They exchanged fire with the Soviets in Rogachevka. The Soviet army's name is unknown, and it may be the vanguard of the Soviets going south." Ms. Officer directly posted the mark representing the unknown enemy on the corresponding position on the map.
Guderian muttered and walked to the map to take a closer look at the location of the city: "Rogachevka ... well, it should be almost the same. It is estimated that they also want to fight us in Voronezh first, Come and fatigue our army, and set back our army's sharpness. "
Right behind him, another commander ’s Air Force liaison officer is communicating with the Air Force on specific combat plans:
Yes! Hope you can slow down the other party ’s southward speed by bombing railways and highways! I know you ’ve done this , But I hope you can increase the intensity of the bombing ... "
Vaguely you can hear the Air Force officer opposite the receiver, because he is directly affiliated with the Eastern Air Force Joint Operations Coordination Department, so not much of the aviation fuel in his hand is mostly pinched in the hands of the Air Force in the southern theater. The task of strangling Soviet troops is now carried out by the flying forces belonging to the central cluster.
Although the German Air Force has expanded from the historical scale, I do n’t know how much, but it still ca n’t cover the bombing from Leningrad to Stalingrad on such a long front. In fact, even the heyday of the US Air Force ca n’t do it. . Strategic bombers, medium bombers, and even dive bombers are all concentrated in the direction of Stalingrad and Moscow, and a few medium bombers do not play a decisive hysteresis role.
"There are only 20 do-217 bombers that can take off here. We will try our best to perform obstruction missions, but it is unknown how much they can play." Over the phone, the Air Force's liaison finally answered.
At this time, in the busy headquarters, an officer walked behind Guderian and gave the report of the intelligence department to his superior, and then stood up and saluted: "Long live the head! General! The intelligence department has confirmed the troops going south. There is the 1st Front of the Guard, the commander is General Konev, Zhukov ’s general; there is another Soviet main force who last jumped out of the encirclement, the 3rd Front of the Guard ... The commander is General Vasilevsky . "
"Hah!" Guderian showed an unashamed expression: "I really can't afford to see Guderian, and even put the two most elite fronts against me."
He turned around and read the message that he passed over before raising his head and asked, "Does the Supreme Command know this information? How did the head of state formulate the combat plan? How did the General Staff plan? Do you want me to continue?" Keep the offensive posture? "
"The Supreme Command has not issued a direct order, and the head of state has ordered the General Staff to come up with an emergency plan." The officer immediately replied: "Marshal Blauchic is holding an emergency meeting on our current situation to discuss how to resolve related issues. problem."
Guderian knew that the troops acting as a barrier to his flanks were not the main German army, but the Italian Expeditionary Forces (a small part). It is absolutely a fantasy to expect this group of soldiers to cooperate with the Germans to prevent the Soviets from attacking. They would be considered "very best" without throwing their positions to the Soviets.
Of course, there is a Romanian force behind this force, but this force is also not a particularly reliable force. At least they lack heavy equipment such as tanks. If the Germans cannot resist the Soviet attack, then this force will also Like the Italian troops in front of them, they will not do much.
"Order the troops to stand by! Start building defenses!" Guderian began to plan the next combat mission without thinking: "Can't wait for others to save us, at least at this time, no one can take care of it. Our army is now. "
He put his finger on the map and drew a shortest line of defense according to the area now controlled by the Germans: "The troops of the protrusions contracted quickly to maintain the continuity of the front line ... Deploying defense lines and distributing armor to strengthen our defense depth. Ammunition, choose hidden areas to set up supply points ... "
"Let the third armored division in the back gather to strengthen the Romanian troops in the back. I need them to hold at least 48 hours when the Soviet army detours." Guderian sighed after arranging his deployment. After a while, he continued to sigh with emotion: "The G Group Army, which is the best at attacking, is going to fight a pure defensive battle today."
"Armed troops! We have new missions! Check your equipment, fuel, and ammunition! All the captains came to the front to confirm the command! Move faster!" As the officer yelled, he originally stopped at The German tanks on the open ground outside the village started to start their engines, and everyone started to get busy.
On the outskirts of the city of Liszki, the most powerful armored troops of the German army received a new combat command, and they began to march west. For all of them, there was a direction of home, a feeling that made them all feel Kind direction.
