Four Hundred Fifty-Seven Outbreaks
Lying on the 'bed', enjoying this leisurely vacation that would end at an unknown time, Ren was almost moved to tears by his wise decision. -..-Copy website visit He did not choose to go to war-torn England, nor did he apply to be transferred to North Africa, where a war was about to happen. Instead, he chose the most peaceful eastern front.
And at this moment, he is already the commander of the 1st Company of the 502nd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, with the rank of captain on his shoulders. You must know that this is already at the level of a battalion commander in some non-main forces.
So as a real officer, he has his own lounge instead of being crowded with other soldiers. Of course, because the teaching company is quite special, his lounge is not his own lounge, but a lounge shared by five people in his crew—unfortunately, the captain's special "bed" with curtains The shop was taken by Alice.
He held a thick Russian dictionary and looked at it with great joy. Rennes has a very good level of foreign languages for a long time. He has studied French and Spanish, but the crew members all know that he once said that he said The best is Russian, unfortunately no one has heard him 'conversing' in Russian.
There was a knock on the 'door' of the room, and the members of Rennes' car crew who were sitting together playing cards all looked at the door. There's a very punchy face there. Marcus seemed to have made up his mind to repay Rennes' thigh, and even rejected the position of a company commander to stay in Rennes' troops as a wingman for Rennes. According to Marcus himself, if you follow Rennes, you will encounter good luck.
"There is a meeting at the battalion headquarters. I heard that the troops are about to leave." Marcus is the kind of guy who is well-informed no matter where he goes, not to mention the logistics supply company of the 502nd Battalion is the master they have known for a long time.
Ren got up from the 'bed', closed the dictionary, and carefully placed it next to his 'bed' head pillow. Then he stretched his arms twice, took out a notebook from the personal cabinet by the wall, took out a pen to check it, and walked out of his dormitory with his bad friend Marcus. The two walked towards the battalion headquarters not far away, one after the other, and saw several acquainted captains.
When we arrived at the battalion headquarters, the commanders found seats and sat down. Ryan and Marcus were no exception, they randomly found two seats next to each other and sat there, like a group of students waiting for the teacher to teach. After a while, both the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander arrived, and the meeting officially began.
"The information submitted by the reconnaissance force shows that the German army opposite us is mobilizing frequently, and it seems that there are signs of attack." The battalion commander lifted the curtain on the blackboard. 'Revealed' the map inside, pointed to the Soviet-controlled area on the border with the pointer and said: "The front of the 102nd Division. That is the place where we were ordered to strengthen. The Soviets deployed about a regiment of tank troops... "
The information is very detailed, which shows how far the German army knew the movements of the Soviet troops. Through the infiltration of spies and the repeated confirmation of the reconnaissance troops, the German front-line troops knew the designation and combat effectiveness of each of the opponent's troops.
He even knew the name of their division commander and army commander.
"More than 50 kv-1 improved tanks? Haven't the Soviets suffered enough?" A copy was passed to Rennes, only two pages, the content was an analysis of the number and types of tanks in the Soviet army, Detailed photo explanations are also attached.
"This is more than one regiment of Soviet troops." Marcus took the document and read it carefully for a few seconds, then said to the battalion commander: "A total of 70 t-26s are matched with more than 50 kv-1s. An improved version. That's about the strength of two Soviet armored regiments."
The battalion commander nodded and said with a smile: "Like us, the opponent is also a main force, otherwise they would not push us up. They are a main regiment of the 1st Soviet Guards Tank Division. I heard that the Soviet Second Guards No. 1 Khrushchev once visited this army."
"I didn't see it, it's still the main force. But when the main force meets us, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs! Otherwise, we will make him unable to be a man." Marcus sneered, and handed the paper to the following a driver of the car.
"It is expected that the front of the 102nd Division will be broken through. The first position from here to here will be abandoned within one hour after the enemy launches an attack... There is a small open area behind here. We can ambush in the woods at the end beforehand. Wait for the enemy's armored forces to appear on the other side of the open area." The battalion commander pointed to several locations on the map.
"How long will it take to retreat." A car commander not far away raised his hand and asked.
"We have to retreat in about half an hour, and give up the second line of defense to the Soviets." The battalion commander clicked on the map of the Soviet rear: "They have an advantage in artillery. We must be careful about their artillery. Insurance, if you take advantage, you must retreat."
"The battalion headquarters set up a supply point here, and each vehicle team returns here to assemble and stand by immediately after completing the mission. Then we have other combat missions." Seeing that no one asked any questions, the battalion commander continued to introduce the mission and said: "Return to the dormitory After that, we will count things and check the status of the tanks, and everyone is not allowed to leave the barracks. They are on standby in the barracks 24 hours a day."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and answered.
The 3rd SS Panzer Division was responsible for the ambush to the right of the defensive position in pocket 5, while the 1st SS Panzer Division was to the left of pocket 6. In this way, the units of the 1st Panzer Army could be combined to form a concentrated force after encircling the Soviet forces.
"Battalion Commander! What if we fight hard and are driven away by the Soviet tank troops?" Marcus shouted this sentence again when everyone had already adjourned. This sentence shocked everyone in the meeting. All amused.
"Behind the Soviet Guards Tank Regiment is the division headquarters of the Guards Tank Division, and behind the division headquarters of the Guards Tank Division is the headquarters of the Guards Tank Army. Guards Tank Corps, our 502nd Battalion is here to ask the head of state for your credit." The battalion commander said with a smile.
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed. Everyone laughed unscrupulously, a bit like venting before the war. I have to admit that with such a pistachio like Marcus, the atmosphere in the entire tank battalion became much more active.
Ren laughed twice, and then recovered his expression of facial paralysis, because he suddenly thought of Clark and the old company commander Carter. Someone took credit for Marcus, so what about them? Those who have left this world, who remembers them? Who will take credit for them? And who would put a wreath on the tombstones of these people many years later?
The rest of the matter was relatively simple. The commanders went to the logistics department to collect the canned food and black bread and other food that were convenient for storage. They all went to the tank parking lot to check the painting and equipment details. Then the crew members were assembled to start the test run and check the reserves of shells and machine gun ammunition.
Germany dug a total of 29 pockets for the Soviet Union on the large frontal battlefield on the Eastern Front. These pockets were carefully arranged defensive positions according to the terrain. As long as the Soviet army starts to attack, these defensive positions will become bloody mouths that strangle the vital forces of the Soviet Union, eating up all the elite troops on the front line of the Soviet Union in one go.
This line of defense was proposed by an unremarkable chief of staff on the Eastern Front. This chief of staff was well-known within the army, and was promoted to lieutenant general because he proposed the blitzkrieg operation against France. His name was Manstein.
The defensive position proposed by General Manstein was called a gear within the German army, and the head of state personally preferred to call this line of defense the Great Wall. This cog-shaped line of defense, which resembles a crenel on a city wall, is not a permanent fortification set up for solid defense, but a bloody quagmire designed purely for massacres. From the day of its birth, this line of defense has only one purpose, and that is to kill the vital forces of the Soviet Union, killing them efficiently and quickly.
The High Command estimates that about half of the 29 pocket defensive positions on the frontal Soviet-German battlefield can function normally, but as long as more than 15 pockets successfully strangle the Soviet offensive troops, the Soviet Red Army will lose more than 1 million troops. Elite soldiers.
Manstein was also called a master of defense by Brauchitsch because of this line of defense, because it was he who proposed this line of defense while systematically proposing the theory of large-scale defense in depth and the core idea of killing the opponent's vital force. efficiency defense. He boldly proposed that defensive operations should focus on killing the opponent's troops, rather than sticking to one city and one place, and won the reputation of "the number one tactician of the German army".
Only Manstein knows that the head of state standing behind him is the real inventor of these unparalleled military theories, and he is just a technician, responsible for using his knowledge to modify and perfect the shocking tactical revolutions of the head of state .
Once the Soviet Union and Germany go to war, the German "elite" Eastern Front troops will counterattack with a nearly perfect defense, destroying all the troops of the Soviet Union's front-line combat troops. The German army will run through countless small encirclement and annihilation operations in the large encirclement and annihilation operations. These operations have been as small as the regiment or even the battalion level. For a large army of tens of thousands of people to fight, it is like embroidering small 'flowers' on a huge scroll with needles. Of course, if this plan can be completed, then this painting can definitely be called a masterpiece made.
On the morning of March 25, US President Roosevelt announced economic sanctions against Japan to curb its expansion in the Far East. The Japanese ruling and opposition parties were shocked, but they did not make any drastic moves. In the early morning of April 6, when the negotiations on the Suzhi Nuomenkan incident were not yet over, the Soviet Front Supreme Command issued an operational order to attack Germany across the board.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on April 6, the Soviet-German war broke out in an all-round way. --93337+dsuaahhh+29470712-->
