In fact, the weather on the Ukrainian plains has become a bit cold, especially the troops stationed in the wild, it is very difficult to reach at night. After all, the weather in Ukraine is different from the warm Europe.
Both sides are preparing the military supplies necessary for winter operations, cotton-padded tents, soldiers' guns, antifreeze protective sleeves, and antifreeze, and almost everything that can be prepared. Both sides are doing their best to make the final reserve.
Akado prepared white snow camouflage antifreeze clothes for the 5.3 million troops of the entire Eastern Front. These short windbreakers with hood antifreeze and even most pre-processed styles also carry two convenient sides for loading things. Xiaodou, the workmanship can be said to be very good.
The careful German rear even provides a full set of four white gun camouflage sets, covering the German mp-44 assault rifle, g43 semi-automatic rifle, Mauser 98k bolt rifle and mg42 universal machine gun. In this way, the German team's disguise in the snow will be higher than in many times in history.
This time Germany was prepared. In order to reserve the winter coat in advance, Akado started to build German breeding bases as early as 1925. These bases not only helped the German side under the constraints of the "Versailles Peace Treaty" Hidden a large number of management talents and troops, and also provided a lot of duck meat for Germany in the production process.
Because of the large reserve of down products, there was even a period of time when German duck products were exported to 13 countries and regions around the country. At one time, the French people at that time enjoyed the consumer experience brought by a cheap duck and goose meat. Germany, through this large-scale breeding, secretly reserves inferior down jackets doped with chicken feathers. Then, using these inferior down jackets from 1937 to 1938, the rear workers were provided with a warm supply.
In addition, the German occupation of France and the Netherlands and the acquisition of a large number of pastures have strengthened the production capacity of the domestic animal husbandry and textile industries, making Germany's production capacity for civilian thermal materials very rich.
The high-quality down jackets and cotton garments produced during this period, as well as a large number of sweater products, were transported to the front by the Germans and supplied to the military, allowing German soldiers to obtain sufficient winter clothing in advance when the weather turned cold. Compared with another time and space, the Germans are now well prepared for the winter, and even managed to reserve some spare materials.
On the other hand, the German armored forces are more professional and systematic in preparing for the winter. For two months, using Kiev and Warsaw and other front-line factory areas, the German tanks thickened the front armor while also A device that can heat the engine is added. At least when the order is 35 degrees, this device can be effective for completely cooled tanks and armored vehicles, increasing the engine heat to reach the normal starting temperature.
In addition, as the production capacity of the Romanian oil field gradually increased, the German army ’s oil supply on the Eastern Front was very timely and sufficient. In addition, the German army ’s original reserves of oil were more than another time and space, so the quality and quantity of the German army ’s oil were significantly improved. Compared with the amount of time and space German oil reserves that Akador knew well, the Germans still have a weight of 1.3 million barrels more than the same period. This is already a very good result, because compared with Germany in the same period, the German army now has more equipment for drinking oil.
With these costs, the German company Franco has provided enough antifreeze to allow Germany ’s proud armored vehicles to maintain a very good condition in the coming winter. In this way, Germany can be said to have done everything it needs to do to prevent the vehicle from being frozen and completely unusable.
Not only the burnt oil is ready, the German armored vehicles have made their own preparations in other preparations. For example, the track width of the German tank is more than twice as wide as the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks of the year. The new type of track The leopard tanks and tiger tanks have a better pass rate in the mud, and they are more suitable for snow and complex road conditions. This also makes the German armored forces more confident to attack forward in the winter.
At the same time, the Germans prepared 1 million tons of charcoal and firewood. These materials will move forward with the troops to ensure that the troops can fire or heat vehicles in the wild. These timbers are taken from the forests in Poland and Germany. In order to prepare these materials, the woodland in Poland has been reduced at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. The original level of preparation of the German army did not require the original material such as wood, but the German army still prepared a huge amount, and even some of them were dried. It can be said that even a little help is not wasted.
The reserves of these materials support 13,100 various tanks of the German armored force, 7,100 armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, and 390,000 various types of cars and motorcycles, as well as 11,300 large-caliber support traction artillery. 5.3 million soldiers are standing by. If you add 300,000 Romanian troops, 200,000 Finnish troops, 700,000 Italian troops, and Turkey ’s follow-up troops of 500,000, the German army ’s total ground strength on the Eastern Front exceeds 7 million. It can be said to be strong.
Compared with the Army, the preparation of the Luftwaffe can absolutely be described as well. Within four months, the Luftwaffe, with the help of engineers and prisoners of war, built antifreeze bunkers for 20,000 aircraft on the Eastern Front, which made Poland All German aircrafts in Ukraine can be placed in the house when the temperature drops and the snow is full of snow-this project is even incredible for Akado. The German senior executives are thinking between stupid methods and good strategies. Don't miss any ideas.
In addition, the Germans also prepared aircraft protection tents and cut wooden skeletons, which were used to quickly establish front-line field airports when the Germans advanced to Minsk and Smolensk. Farther away, the Germans did not make much preparations, only a follow-up support plan. After all, according to the passage of combat time, it is estimated that when the attack reaches near Moscow, the time is already spring and summer.
Because of the intelligence obtained, Germany still adopted a defensive posture. Nearly 6 million troops were waiting for the early attack of the Soviet Red Army. Although they did not prepare the same type of defensive defense system as in Poland, they prepared a large defense system in the frontline area. Especially with Kiev's two wings as the core.
Similarly, the Soviet Red Army was also preparing for the winter offensive under the leadership of Zhukov. Compared with the German army, which has extensive combat experience in Europe, the Soviet Red Army has very rich combat experience in cold Russia. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the number of cotton coats that the Soviet Union has in stock, we know that they can be said to be familiar with winter operations.
After the advent of winter, snowfall is often accompanied by muddy and cold, this time the Soviet Red Army troops relying heavily on animal mobility ushered in the best time to fight. The Cossack cavalry on a war horse will have a wide range of roundabout assaults in cold weather, becoming a nightmare for the trembling enemy infantry, and the Soviets' stronger resistance to cold makes them more adaptable to cold weather. Launch an attack.
Compared with the German troops, the total strength of the Soviet Red Army has a clear advantage. They prepared 9.1 million soldiers in three echelons on the Eastern Front. Although most of these soldiers were not as elite as the Soviet Red Army when they began to attack in Poland, They still maintain combat training for more than 1 month, and have fairly good basic combat capabilities.
After two months of delay, US strategic aid to the Soviet Union was also transported from the distant Bering Strait to the foot of the Ural Mountains. These advanced lathes and processing equipment provided the Soviet Union with a huge industrial capacity upgrade.
In order to counter the performance advantages of the German armored forces in targeting optical quasi-arms, the Soviet Union also deliberately ordered a complete set of 500 original imported m4 Sherman targeting systems from the United States, which were adjusted and installed on Stalin-type tanks to improve their The precise performance of firepower gives it the ability to resist the German main tanks such as the Tiger Leopard.
In two months, Soviet ordnance companies provided over 2,000 T-34 tanks for the frontline Soviet Red Army, which allowed the Soviet Red Army to form a certain number of advantages over Germany in the tanks-of course By the way, how big is the gap in quality, only God can know.
In order to increase production, the t-34 tank uses a more rounded new cast turret, which is integrally formed and has a very good bulletproof shape. It can be said that it has been significantly improved compared to the most primitive kv-1 tank. After these tanks were delivered to the troops, they made the soldiers of the armored troops very fond of it, and at least they were delighted when they replaced the t-26 in their hands.
But this is only paper data of tank performance provided by Soviet engineers. Under the actual circumstances, no one knows how much protection this new turret T-34 tank has. After all, in the extreme case where the worker works overtime and produces 35 daily, the number of bubbles and impurities in the steel body of the one-piece turret is not subjectively controlled by the person who produced it.
Of course, in fact, some tanks produced by the Soviet Union still have some fine products. For example, at least 50 Stalin tanks are almost entirely hand-made by workers, and the quality can be said to be guaranteed. Most of these tanks are of other mass production types. The Stalin tanks were scattered inside the Soviet armored forces, giving the German tanks a fatal blow with a cold arrow.
In another two months, more than 170 production Stalin tanks were produced, and the manual version finally completed Stalin's production requirements for such tanks. In this way, the Soviet Union will have more than 220 Stalin tanks during the winter offensive, more than 2,300 T-34 tanks, almost 100 KV-2 tanks, more than 5,100 KV-1 tanks, and more than 5,500 tanks. T-26 tanks and 400 US-aided m3 and m3lee models.
