Chapter 709: marshal

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Unlike General Liszt on the northern battlefield under the assault of Soviet generals such as Zhukov, German troops in the southern region of Ukraine are fiercely attacking Soviet troops. In addition to the German Army G Guderian ’s G Army, who stormed Kharkiv on the frontal battlefield of the Germans, there is also a new Army M group army that has just deployed some of the forces of the various Army Groups, and is launching its own attack.
Manstein is another time and space, one of the few German masters of strategy. The French strategy game he planned can be said to be a magical stroke, because this plan caused the Allies to suffer heavy losses, otherwise Dunkirk, Hitler It can even wipe out the main force of Britain and France in Belgium.
And in this time and space, although Manstein still proposed an important plan for the operation of the sickle, in his own mind, he knew that the whole plan can be said to be planned by the head of the Akado, so this original famous coach It has been 9 months for Brawitch's staff to work in the Army's General Staff.
For more than 9 months, Manstein was not playing soy sauce. He personally participated in the construction and construction of the east line of the defensive line, and formulated an efficient defensive counterattack strategy. He actively organized a logistics support system for the army ’s attack. He has perfected the material reserve work of various army groups. In short, he used all possible opportunities to enrich himself, and he was finally affirmed by everyone.
The recommendation letter written by his direct boss Brahich to Akado commented on Manstein in this way: he is definitely one of the most military commanders I have ever seen. He is stable and capable, and I suggest that he should be allowed to let him Command a group army to exercise and become a rare and unique talent in the empire.
Goodrian commented on Manstein in his diary: This person reminds me of Elvin Rommel. If Elvin is an attacking commander, Manstein is a The commander who is familiar with every aspect of the army has a different style, but they are the most capable generals I have ever seen.
Now the smug "General of Staff" was appointed by the head of state as the commander-in-chief of the new m group army, in charge of commanding the group army to attack the Crimean Peninsula. And after he arrived, Zhang Luo immediately got up from his house.
If someone still remembers Frick, the logistics general of the SS ’s 3rd Armored Division, he will know that a general who can equip his army Zhang Luo can be considered a half-qualified officer. Manstein has been working on the staff for 9 months, and is naturally already familiar with the supply process of a group army. How complicated can it be?
From the messy logistic supply report, he repeatedly confirmed the equipment he needed, and then tried his best to find something that he did not have in the front-line supply list, and then through the relationship with the General Staff, he got some big guys into his troops. Come inside.
For example, his army was equipped with 20 210 mm caliber heavy artillery produced by the Krupp factory. This kind of big guy Akado also issued the order of the ban only a few months ago, so that Krupp experiment produced the "large caliber" "New howitzer", although this artillery is a towed artillery and enters the position relatively slowly, it really makes up for the shortcomings of the Germans' lack of heavy artillery support.
Manstein also tried his best to search for all kinds of strange and tattered goods, for example, some train guns from France, fortified guns from Belgium were converted into train guns, these cannons have strange calibers, and it is also difficult to add. Some German troops that value mobility are not able to look down on these guys who have difficulty in supplying, but Manstein has signed up correctly.
Because he studied the entire Krymian defense system of the Soviet Union, and knew that attacking the "fortress area" of this type of fortress requires a lot of large-caliber artillery as support. It is a pity that he also knows that the Germans are now in short supply of all kinds of large caliber artillery.
Although the construction of the Soviet fortress was abandoned because of the smooth industrial revitalization, the entire fortress group in the Crimean region is not as strong and huge as another time and space, but the defense force of the entire fortress area should not be underestimated. Because of this, Manstein dispatched at least 30 reconnaissance planes to carry out reconnaissance and photographs of the area in as much detail as possible.
The good news is not without it. Because of the service of Soviet-class battleships, the Soviet Union ’s large-caliber artillery has been used, so there is no other time-space giant steel turret and large-caliber artillery in the Crimean fortress area, only some small-caliber artillery. Filled up. And the underground bunker part of the whole fortress area has been cut a lot because of not paying attention, at least those underground works that are tens of meters deep are still lying on the drawings.
Manstein prepared the artillery and ammunition as much as he could, and armed his infantry to his teeth. From his pre-war preparations, it was absolutely sufficient and extremely targeted. This also shows that Manstein is definitely a German commander with marshal talent. Although his light was captured by Akado, it can still be said to be a bright star.
As Guderian's G Army began to storm in the eastern region, Manstein could not help feeling that he wanted to make a contribution, and grabbed the phone in his hand and issued a command to attack the Crimean Peninsula across the board. His elite infantry started to attack forward, and the line of attack took only one afternoon to tear the defense line outside the Crimean peninsula, and drove Marshal Voroshilov's Red Army soldiers to the Crimean peninsula. The isthmus is struggling.
The attacking momentum of the German army shocked Zhukov. Although the Crimean peninsula has always refused to accept his orders and domination, it is still the nominal territory of the Soviet Union. After all, the Crimean and Kharkov are also urgent, pressing on Zhukov's shoulders. It is conceivable how big the pressure is.
Zhukov is also well-known as one of the most famous commanders in the Soviet Union. He wrote a telegram to Stalin to analyze the current situation, and then asked Stalin to give him support, so that he can continue to attack the direction of Kiev. To weaken the German forces.
The reason why Zhukov dared to arrange the battle plan in this way was because his front line general, who is now attacking, was the commander of the 1st Front of the Guards, and another strongman Konev of the Soviet Union. This offensive general was born in political work and was the most capable political worker he discovered by Stalin ’s proudest masterpiece.
The general who reassured Stalin advocated to continue to attack Kiev, because he felt the weakness of Liszt ’s e-group army, so he invested his troops at the fastest speed and convinced Zhukov to use the battle reserve in advance. Another front guard of the Guards was put into the battlefield, and the commander of this front was also a famous big man in history, another powerful commander of the Soviet Union, Rokosovsky.
These two men used to be known as the troika of the Soviet Red Army with Zhukov in another time and space. And the troops in their hands are definitely the most elite in the Soviet Union. The reorganized 1st Guards Front, the 2nd Guards Front transferred from Moscow, and the 3rd Guards Front while maintaining an offensive posture in the other direction formed the new Soviet offensive camp.
The commander of the Third Front is the famous General Vasilevsky, who is also a powerful commander and an experienced battlefield veteran. This lineup is stronger than the last time the Soviet-Polish battle was unknown. I don't know how many times it is. It can be said that it is really a luxury All-Star lineup on the front line of the Soviet Union.
For a time, the famous commanders were everywhere on the Eastern Front. When Akado took this detailed investigation report of the commanders of both sides, he could not believe his own eyes. He was almost the most capable general in World War II. Now they are almost assembled, and in the time when the east line is still snowing, they are showing each other's long swords to their rivals.
"These Soviet generals are all hard-to-handle guys." Akado continued to jolt slightly on the plane, with Vasilevsky's brief resume on his knee, and Anna's On his lap is a brief resume of Rokosovsky. It can be said that both of them can be regarded as the representatives of the youngsters in the Soviet Union. They are even younger than the energetic team of the third generals. Quite a lot.
Vasilevsky has just turned 43 this year, and the now-unknown Konev is now only 40 years old, and another frontline general Rokosovsky is only 41 years old this year. These young generals stood out because of the Soviet Union's cleansing, and have become the core command group of the Soviet Red Army. Together with Zhukov, who became more famous, they formed a powerful force to attack the northern German defense line.
As a frontline commander of the German army, Liszt was faced with the difficulties of the three Soviet cattlemen at the same time, and he was somewhat tired of parry. His group army itself was not dominated by armored forces, and now it has to face thousands of advanced tanks and elite. The Soviet Union ’s main force, which had strengthened its troops, was a little too reluctant.
Unconsciously, the six marshals of the Soviet Union all appeared: Voroshilov, Timoshenko, Zhukov, Vasilevsky, Rokosovsky, Konev; and the Germans were even more general Star clusters: Lundstadt, Liszt, Weix, Manstein, Model, Klug, plus a quasi-Marshal Goodrian.
The battle of the Eastern Front, as soon as it opened its own prologue, skipped the opening warm-up in an instant and entered the most tragic and bloodiest stage.
