Now that the rough plan for the attack has been determined, the rest is the Army General Staff and the various army groups. Akado hopes to know the specifics of attacking Stalingrad, after all, this is the basis of the subsequent battle between Kursk and Baku.
"Our army has crossed the Karitva River on the front, because the bridge is still well preserved, so our army's crossing speed is not slow." Guderian reported the position of his G group attack to Akado : "Although the Soviet garrison was heavily fortified, our army quickly captured the Chil River and occupied a large area in the north of Rostov region."
He pointed to a vast area on the map, then glanced at Brousic and other generals, and said, "The important towns on the Chil River, Bokovskaya and Sovietskaya, have been Our army is in control. Our army ’s forward troops have arrived.
Near Surovicino. Although the Soviets resisted all the time, they did not invest any decent troops."
The main force of the German army, the G Army, is advancing in the direction of the Don River, and it is marching forward. The elaborately defensive positions of the Soviet army were easily crossed by German special forces and paratroopers, which caused the Soviet commanders and troops to be caught by surprise. They could not prevent the frontline from collapsing, nor could they organize it when the German army advanced quickly Effective counterattack.
Rokosovsky is worthy of being a famous Soviet general. On the one hand, he ordered his two armored divisions to retreat to Karachi. On the one hand, he added troops to the Don River, hoping to use the wider Don River to defend the Germans. Offensive. Surovicino was already within the scope of his abandonment and was neglected.
Although the Germans on the southern line said that the supply conditions were better than those of the central cluster, they were only better. In fact, Guderian had only one main line of transportation, from Donetsk to Surovikino in one breath. The Germans ensured the smooth flow of this transport line during the offensive, so they could still use the railway to ensure the transportation of materials for the front-line troops when the mud arrived.
Guderian pointed his finger at this important and fragile transportation line and said to Akado: "My head, at present, there have been no problems with transportation. Within three days, our army will cover the air force. Next, raid Karachi and break the defense line of the Soviet defenders. "
In fact, because of careful preparation, and because Manstein's troops are better at fighting under the conditions of dense water nets. Manstein ’s forces have now captured all important strongholds along the Don River. He first led the army to capture Batesk, and gave the Soviet troops defending the Caucasus a heavy blow. Then he did not rush south, but went all the way to the east, eating up many areas where the Soviet defense was seriously inadequate.
First, he set off from Axe and captured the important cities along the Don River, Bagayevsky, Semikarayersky, Konstantinovsk, Ustnetsky. The 13th Panzer Army, the main force of Manstein, has threatened Volgatonsk and Zimlyansk.
The Army of Manstein, heading south, was in full swing along the way. It successively won the important port of the Azov Sea, Azov, and then captured another port, Yeisk, and controlled the entire area of ​​the Yea River Basin. The southernmost troops have already entered Salsk, completely disrupting the Soviet strategic deployment near the Caucasus.
Just before the start of this meeting, the M Group Army, which had not stopped, launched an attack on Voshood, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, it occupied it. The Soviet army defeated south to Yuzhnyi. As a result, the German grenadiers followed. At this moment, the Germans had occupied Yuzhnyi, and they still took the big Orlovka and Damar. Tenovka.
The Red Flag and Black Sea Fleet of the Soviet Union has almost no place. If the momentum of the Germans continuing to go south cannot be stopped, then these Soviet warships deployed in the Black Sea will be dumped on the land by the Germans, and they will inevitably end up being destroyed.
After Guderian finished talking about the G group's offensive plan and sat back in his chair, Manstein stood up and briefly talked about his army's attack plan. He walked to the front of the map and pointed to the Kerch Strait: "My head, the next attack plan of the M Group Army, will be to open the Kerch Strait to shorten the supply line of our army. Line, my group army will shorten the supply line by hundreds of kilometers, which will make the next action plan easier to launch. "
Then his hand swept eastward along the Kerch Strait and continued: "Our army will fully occupy Krasnodar Krai, and then sweep the entire Caucasus along central Georgia. Eventually, we will attack Baku and complete the entire Caucasus. Raiders. "
The railway line that entered the Caucasus traverses the entire Georgia from the middle, and is an important supply line that runs through the Caucasus. Manstein has studied countless ways to occupy Baku. As a result, he quickly attacked along the railway line and became his choice. The preferred method.
There are two routes, one is to go along Grozny in the north and then go south, and the other is to enter Georgia, traverse the entire area and go straight to Baku. Manstein took a two-pronged offensive approach because he had enough troops, and he went all in to open the situation.
This arrangement is based on the strength of the German army and its combat quality is significantly higher than that of the Soviet army. The M group army in Manstein has more than 400,000 troops, and 70% of them have beaten the Crimean peninsula. War veterans, he believes that these troops can defeat the Soviet army more than his own number, and the intelligence department also supports his view.
The Soviet army has a total of 330,000 troops in the southern Caucasus, less than the forces in the hands of Manstein. Most of these troops are recruits, and more than half of them have not fired. Even more desperate is that almost 100,000 of these troops were deployed along the Kerch Strait to prevent the Germans from landing in Kerch.
So the Soviet army that is in front of Manstein has no more than 250,000 people. It can be said that it is not an opponent of the German m army. No matter which way the Soviet army wants to stop the attack of almost 200,000 troops of the German army, it is nothing short of fantasy. Of course, in fact, the Soviet army also has an elite reinforcements, at this time the Germans did not know.
"Although the speed of our army's attack is very fast, the Caucasus is really too large. I am worried that even if the Soviet army can't hold the Caucasus, it will have time to destroy the oil depot and destroy the oil production equipment." Manstein Pointing to the distant Baku, said: "I think that if you want to supplement the domestic consumption of crude oil, at least from now on, you must start preparing for the repair of personnel and equipment."
"People and equipment have been prepared a few months ago. In fact, you were still in Crimea at that time, and Guderian was still in Ukraine." Akado glanced at Manstein and said in a gentle tone : "This repair force can be deployed at any time. The number of people exceeds 3,000, and there are many large-scale equipment. If there is no problem with the railway line and the Baku oilfield is not completely damaged, then we can be sure to repair it within six months to one year. "
"My head, at such a long distance, I really can't guarantee anything. I can only say that if I was Rokosovsky, then as long as a forward of my troops crossed Yevlach, I would order Baku oilfield was blown up.
Manstein said frustratedly:
I can destroy the entire Baku in a few days with only a few shells and , and at that time, my troops were the fastest Advance to the Ujare area. "
"I do n’t know what will happen to the actual situation. I just want to ask if, if I mean, if I ’m going to Yevlach, I parachutists near Baku and occupy Baku. Can you better change the battle situation and reduce the loss of the oil field? "Akado looked at the map, and then his hands were wrapped around his chest, as if he was thinking about something.
"Frankly speaking, relying solely on paratroopers or even with special forces and helicopters, assaulting Baku is an impossible task. If it is assault and destruction, then the Air Force can do it, but it is not paratroopers' occupation and protection. Strength. "Admiral Catherine, who was sitting on the side, said:" General Studen's troops will be overwhelmed, and the Baku oil field will be turned into a rubble by the war. This is not the end we want to see. "
"Even if the paratroopers succeeded in airborne, I did not have a continuous assault on the troops. Within two days, I pushed the infantry to Baku and let the paratroopers stand alone for a week behind the enemy ... I think you can know what this means." Man Stein also persuaded.
Akado nodded his head, he did develop a large number of ultra-modern arms for the Germans, and also developed a lot of new combat ideas, but he could not change the limitations of technology in this era on the war, nor could he force a certain The arms do things that are not good at.
If you throw the paratroopers into a certain area and simply defend for a few days or even ten days, Studente may be able to do it regardless of the loss, but even if it is done, in the process of his paratroopers fighting the enemy, that The area has become a ruin. This is the inevitable result of the paratroopers holding on to their positions. They will smash the city into ruins and then make room in the ruins.
But there was Baku, the oil-producing region that the Germans wanted to snatch. After it was broken into rubble, how did it resume production? Even if it was destroyed by blasting, the Germans did not want the entire Baku to become a ruin like Smolensk
