What kind of war is the German Army favorite fighting? This question seems to be worth studying. Apex novels, even if the answer to this question is worthy of debate, but the Germans like to use large and deep roundabout outs to solve the opponent's heavy army in areas where there are no fortifications in the wilderness, but there is no doubt.
During the Battle of Poland, Germany used a few classic pincer-shaped offensives to completely smash the Polish defensive cluster, ending the Polish campaign at a speed unexpected by everyone, and hitting the speed of annihilation that shocked the world.
Then in France, Germany completed the sickle with an effective flank breakthrough, and in Dunkirk wiped out all the elite of the British and French allied forces. These troops were also chased and killed by the main German forces without preparation in the wilderness.
This was followed by a series of "German-style annihilation battles" in eastern Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus, which caused the Soviet Union to lose its helmet and armor. In the end, the Soviet Union began to use fortifications on a large scale to delay the German offensive. This kind of battle example of encircling opponents in rapid maneuvers gradually disappeared.
Instead, it seems that the Eastern Front seems to be an endless battle of trench defense, urban battles, and large-scale tank encounters. And these tactics are all carried out on the premise of mutual consumption. In order to defend a certain node or a certain strategic goal, the two sides invested nearly one million people in repeated battles, so that the front line remained motionless for a few weeks.
But to the north of Moscow, the Germans once again seized the opportunity, where they encircled the 500,000 Soviet infantry from Leningrad, and they were surrounded by armored troops and elite mechanized infantry- This makes Lundstedt very comfortable, because this is the typical German rhythm.
"Did the sent messenger bring back any news?" At this moment, the German army marshal was in a very good mood. Although his troops were alone, the enemy did not have any counterattack power. So he can easily extract his teeth in Hukou, and this time his pincer attack, seems to have laid the victory for Germany in the Eastern Front.
The Soviet Union apparently has no reserve force to launch a counterattack against the Germans. In the south of Moscow, Zhukov ’s southward cluster suffered heavy losses and is still struggling to support. All the forces north of Moscow are surrounded by the A Group Army, the E Group Army and the Finnish Corps. The area north of Tver.
Although the Germans expected a fierce battle for several bridges near the Ivankov Reservoir, they did not. This fully shows that the Soviet army is eager to shrink its troops, and even has no plans to rescue the Leningrad cluster.
In the defensive positions around Moscow, the Soviet Red Army organized an army of more than 1 million defensive forces, but this figure obviously contains exaggerated elements. What is the actual situation? In fact, everyone knows it well.
Another time and space German defended Berlin, claiming to have a million soldiers, but unfortunately, the actual combat force, it is estimated that even 300,000 people may not be able to make up. The old, weak, and ill, mobilized by the Soviet Union, are in fact similar to another famous national division in time and space, only civilians with only rifles. These troops have no fighting power at all, and in the face of the field-struggling German elite, they will collapse if they can't even persevere for a few minutes.
Expecting such a team to find something to eat in the rubble, and there is no way to maintain the total number of troops on the position, it is still barely strong, but these troops are expected to counterattack and recapture the lost under the German tank track Daqiao, even Stalin himself, thought he was kidding.
"Marshal! The messengers sent to the enemy Leningrad cluster did not see their commander, General Govorov! The Soviet generals who received our couriers rejected our persuasion, and they said that Govorov was determined to communicate with his The motherland coexists and dies. "Marshal Lundstedt's deputy reported regretfully.
They were instructed to send couriers to persuade the Soviets. After all, over 500,000 troops were wiped out in the field and it took time and sacrifice. In consideration of economy, the German General Staff decided to arrange couriers to persuade the Soviets and try to encircle the Soviets. The Soviets inside surrendered themselves.
It seems that this plan was a failure, and Govorov did not intend to surrender. Although the Soviet army was surrounded by the Germans in the wilderness, it was a pity that it was far from the point where the food was exhausted. However, the Germans had calculated the supplies of the Soviets, and at most they could last another week or so.
"A week? Would you rather starve hundreds of thousands of people on the ground, rather than surrender ..." Marshal Lundstedt looked at the map, the one that had been completely surrounded by blue arrows representing himself On the circular sign: "I am more concerned now than the dead man Govorov, how the head of state arranges the next Eastern Front battle."
It ’s not just Lundstadt, there are too many people concerned about this issue. Several main German offensive directions, including northern Moscow, south of Moscow to Kursk region, south of Kursk region, a total of four Baku directions. In addition to the northern theater of Moscow personally commanded by Lundstedt, any movement in any direction is likely to give the army a new marshal.
Goodrian, Manstein and Kluger are all strong contenders for this marshal. But in Lundstadt's eyes, these generals were all labeled with a "head of state" label, just like another army marshal Rommel.
Once this marshal was born, then in the composition of the Imperial Army, the forces of the heads of faction would completely overwhelm the noble officers of the original staff headquarters. This is also the most painful fact-there are too many capable people in the faction of the heads of state. Just pick one out, and the rank of a Field Marshal is not excessive.
Their veterans' secretly maintaining their balance will eventually be broken at a certain point, and the generals of the head of faction will eventually stand in key positions in the German affairs department and become an important piece of the head to control the entire Germany. Thinking of this, Lundstadt smiled bitterly, then shook his head helplessly: Isn't he also promoted all the way by the head of state? In the eyes of outsiders, is he a heads-down leader?
The opinion within the army is to promote the southward m group army commanded by General Manstein as much as possible to seize the Baku oilfield in the immediate vicinity, so that the noble-status "head of state" was first promoted to marshal to balance the army All internal forces.
Another voice is the nomination of General Kettle and General Liszt who have no credit and hard work. After all, these two generals, including General Model in the rear, are both highly respected veterans, and the defending party should also be rewarded.
Brahich took this matter and asked Marshal Lundstadt and Marshal Rommel for their meaning. Lundstadt did not immediately call back, and the latter called back simply and briefly: "I am only responsible for the head of state, for Fight in Germany. Other things have nothing to do with me! "
The head of state was confusing, letting Brauchitch ask how he asked, Akado didn't seem to want to answer directly. The wise head of state smiled and used "Marshal's promotion must be cautious, and I'm also considering it." Ignored the past, making it unclear what he was thinking about.
"General Liszt called! He launched a new round of artillery bombardment on the west side of the circle, focusing on the 67th highland." While Lunderstedt was thinking about the promotion of the army that seemed destined this time, one After holding the message just received, a signal soldier knocked on the door of Marshal Lundstedt ’s headquarters and reported:
The 2nd Armored Army ’s headquarters is calling. The Finnish troops are moving towards our north. Su The army still did not break through. "
The Soviet army could not escape and escape. The rear is the German e-group army that has been attached to it. The flanks are the Finnish clusters that avenge the hatred for the Soviet-Finnish war. Go out, that's the hell.
From a bunch of inexplicable internal relations, he sorted out his thoughts. The army marshal threw the messy relationship network behind him. He carefully looked at the location where Liszt was attacking, and then clicked on the map. The men deployed their own orders: "Let the Grenadier of the 2nd Armored Force flank forward 5 kilometers to respond to General Liszt who is attacking!"
"Observe! Marshal!" The deputy stood up and saluted, then turned and walked out of Marshal's office. Setting up a headquarters in Tver is still a very wise choice. After all, there are many buildings here that can be used as temporary residences for officers, as well as temporary headquarters for various troops.
The deputy had just walked out of the house, and another officer in the telegraph room walked into the room with the new telegram: "Long live the head of state! Your Excellency, Marshal, the Air Force has heard that Norway was attacked by Allied bombers from Iceland ,lost heavily."
"What?" Lundstedt was taken aback, then took the message and looked at it carefully. He saw the loss figures and the results of the Air Force ’s counterattack against Iceland. After a while, he closed the file, and then fell into thought.
Just now he was still thinking about the appointment of personnel and balancing the forces of all parties. But his enemies reminded him at this moment: the war is far from over, and Germany has not yet reached the end of victory. This is not the time to divide the fruits of victory, because the enemy still has the ability to defeat the entire Third Reich.
Lundstedt leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and suddenly a question penetrated into his mind—why must he maintain balance? Is it the best to appoint and remove people who are capable?
