Chapter 031: Project Barbarossa: Preface
thufeb2612:00:00cst2015
It is known that the Barbarossa Plan was primarily an attack on the USSR by Germany and its client states. The main goal was to crush the Soviet Union and gain Soviet territory east of the Urals. Let the USSR become an Asian country . Family. But for a variety of reasons, the Barbarossa plan failed after more than three years of implementation.
The brick family's analysis of Germany's failure is as follows:
1. The German army miscalculated the strength of the Soviet army, before the war, the Soviet army was not inferior in weapons and equipment, and the main battle equipment was much larger than that of the German army. By June 1941, the total pre-war strength was about 5.5 million, and the Red Army had more than 25,000 tanks, more than 19,000 combat aircraft, and more than 110,000 artillery pieces and mortars. Among them, there are more than 2,000 new T34 and KV1 tanks. As far as the Germans are concerned, the total number of tanks is only more than 4,000, of which nearly 700 are old 35T and 38T tanks obtained due to the annexation of the Czech Republic. The gap with the number of Soviet troops was very large.
2. At the beginning of the war, the German army's main offensive direction was wrong: the German army should consider how to ensure logistical support after the battle line became longer after penetrating deep into the territory of the Soviet Union. In the initial stage, it took half a year to attack Moscow as the main strategic purpose, and it was too difficult to provide logistical supply, and the Soviet army faced was strong, the defense line was strong, and it was arranged in multiple echelons. And near Moscow, the Soviet army reinforced and gathered troops more frequently. As a result, if the German army cannot capture Moscow in a short period of time, the Soviet Union's newly assembled reinforcements will be wasted as soon as they arrive. Even if Moscow could be captured, it would be possible for the Soviet Union to move its capital to the interior, after all, the main Soviet industry had been transferred to the Ural Mountains at the beginning of the war. The war with the Soviet Union was already a struggle at the beginning of the war. It's been a long battle. So I thought that the Germans should attack Leningrad and Kiev in the early stage, the two fronts were shorter and easier to capture, and faced with the weaker Soviet forces. On top of that, Leningrad was the largest port city in the Soviet Union, and once the Germans were captured, they could quickly build up their logistical capabilities by sea. After all, the short sea transport time from Germany to Leningrad (only a few days) and the large capacity without partisan harassment will greatly enhance the military strength and sustainable combat capability of the German army on the front line in the early stage of the war.
3. Treat the Soviet people with a desire to do so. Telebis. Dalin is even more cruel. In Si. Although Dalin achieved great industrial success in the early years of his rule in the Soviet Union, it came at the cost of the unnatural death of a large number of peasants, about seven million people starved to death in Ukraine alone (mostly peasants), and even a great uprising of the Cossacks. The persecution of intellectuals led to the execution and exile of millions of people in Siberian labor camps. The Great Purge resulted in mass executions by military and opposition figures. More than 80% of the officers were executed. Almost all government officials who disobeyed were executed. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is said that there were a total of tens of millions of people in Sri Lanka. Unnatural death during the Dalin period. Almost all the people are struggling to survive in the fear of lies. In the early stages of the Soviet-German War, many Soviet regions regarded the German army as liberators, singing and dancing, and even participated in the German army's accompanying battles. Cossack cavalry in the German army. The most famous is the Soviet People's Liberation Army, which is made up of ordinary Soviet people, and millions of people fought against the Soviet Red Army. But it wasn't long before Xi. Teller's policy towards the Soviet occupation zone turned into plunder and killing. A large number of innocent Soviet civilians were slaughtered by the German army. Completely lose the Soviet people, who can be used, so that they can only give to Sri Lanka. Dalin was desperate for his life, because falling into the hands of the Germans was also a dead end.
Under Ji Feng's leadership, although the gap between Germany and the first article is still very large, it has been narrowed as much as possible. Although the Germans still did not have enough tanks, they were already equipped with the F2 type of tank No. 4 and other heavy anti-tank guns and heavy anti-aircraft guns as much as possible.
The second one will become the most important one, because Ji Feng doesn't want to let the Soviets abuse Xiang because of the problem of supply and transportation. Because he still has a wife and children, he must stay in this backward and dark era if he does not complete the task.
The third article Ji Feng used as a prohibition: German soldiers should observe not to fire at civilians unless a civilian fired first and caused casualties.
In Ji Feng's planning, the domestic and existing occupation areas should be managed by the Taidui and the Armed Crotch Guards, but this management is principled. Since the incident in Paris, no governor of the occupied territories has dared to bend the law for personal gain, because if the Führer came, it would not be easy for the whole black gauze hat, and it would not be fun to disappear all at once.

In the High Seas Fleet's "Adolf Hi. HMS Teller is still operating on the High Seas Fleet, while two other Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers have been assigned to the Baltic Fleet, and three new Admiral-class aircraft carriers,[Note 1] have begun construction on the slipways of British shipyards: the Admiral Karl Dönitz (KMSCV-4AdmiralKarldonitz) and the USS Paul Joseph Goebbels (KMSCV-5Paul Joseph Goebbels) and the "Friedrich von Richthofen" (KMSCV-6 Friedrichvonrichthofen). These aircraft carriers will become the main force of the future High Seas Fleet and even the Mediterranean Fleet.
And the two oldest aircraft carriers, although they do not have a large number of aircraft, are more than enough to deal with the Soviet Baltic Fleet, which does not have aircraft carriers at all.
The Baltic Fleet has only two old battleships, and despite the modernization of the system, that age is there, so there is no need to worry about this.
Germany. The large and bizarre movement of the army did not cause any trouble. Dalin's attention, but in fact this is mainly because of the S. Daelim was not keen on the military. This. Dalin appointed Chuikov in charge of the Southern Front, and Zhukov in charge of the Northern Front.

Guderian, Manstein, and others were to be deployed to the front line to command those Panzer armies of the Germans on the Eastern Front.
There was also a series of transfers, and the 8th Special Armored Division of the 9th Army was equipped with all the later Leopard IIA6 main battle tanks, which would be used as heavy tanks for attacking fortifications, and their superior mobility made them the legendary battlefield fire brigade. Wherever there is a fire, it will be adjusted, and where there is the most danger.
Because they were equipped with diesel engines, these tanks were not very explosive.
And the official number of these tanks is the No. 7 tank, and all the things after the original No. 6 tank were cut down by Ji Feng at once, and now Germany doesn't have so many idle things to make those face-saving products that Xiao Xiaoxi ordered the tank manufacturers to design and manufacture for the sake of face.
Because of the huge turret space and automatic loader, these tanks were converted into a variety of models: Tank A\88 had an 88mm KWK.43 main gun, which was equivalent to the Tiger tank that appeared earlier, and Tank A\105 was equipped with a 105mm LESFH18 howitzer, which could be used as a self-propelled gun; Tank No. 7 B\150, equipped with a 150mm heavy howitzer used by the army as the main gun, can kill the tank crew instantly through the huge shock of the guò high-explosive grenade, as a last resort against tanks.
On February 15, 1941, Barbarossa began with a salvo of front-line artillery units, ground attacks by air forces, and carpet bombing of the front line by strategic bombers.
In the coming period, Germany. The army will treat the USSR as the number one enemy.
At least for Ji Feng, the war potential of the Soviet Union was too great, and if he fought hard with them without restraint, he might be able to drain Germany's manpower. Then Germany will become a woman's world...... (It is said that the Soviet Union was close to the end of the Great Patriotic War, so that for some time after that, the streets were full of women...... )

Colonel Hans was tasked with leading his airborne assault detachment in a series of sabotage operations in the Soviet rear in order to paralyze the Soviet combat system.
Ju-52 transport planes with large fuel tank capacity dropped them on Smolensk, and a number of Soviet weapons, ammunition and uniforms were also dropped.
Colonel Hans and his assault team totaled 66 people, and this commando team was equipped with a full set of equipment for the Soviet Internal Affairs Army, and even the He-112 heavy bomber used bombers to airdrop some Soviet army transports - American-made M3 half-track armored personnel carriers. This is the weaponry of the 39th Army, which had been annihilated in previous offensive battles. And each of them also had some self-defense weapons, such as the MP-41 submachine gun.
Lieutenant Lindbergh found the box for his uniform, changed into a uniform and became a sergeant of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, while Colonel Hans became a major of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs. While Hans was sorting out his clothes, Lindbergh found a large box marked Z on it.
So Colonel Hans, guided by Lindberg, went to the edge of the big box, looked at the number of the superalloy lock on the box, and Colonel Hans took out a key and opened the box.
One meter square and one meter high box is neatly stacked with grenades marked Z, which look very much like the Soviet F1 grenades, but in fact these grenades are a kind of killing. device, capable of creating an oxygen vacuum area with a diameter of ten meters, that is to say this is a fuel-air bomb.
The grenades on top were distributed to everyone, revealing a small portable oxygen tank underneath. The tank uses superalloy technology and is only slightly larger than the MP-41 but contains more than 20 cubic meters of oxygen. This oxygen will be used as emergency oxygen, and the commandos will be able to live at least a little longer. In addition, oxygen is often used in clinical rescue, so these oxygen drops are still very useful.
There was a mezzanine at the bottom, and when Colonel Hans opened it, he saw that it was a legendary grenadier canister, a grenade launcher to be exact. Able to fire grenades out and avoid casualties. This was the highlight of the mission - the matching ammunition was seven Z-stamped ammunition.
Colonel Hans knew that now the Germans had begun to attack. It is expected to arrive in three days, and there will be no weapon support during these three days, and all that remains is the weapons you have now.
Moreover, after changing into the uniform of the enemy, it can be treated as a spy according to the provisions of the Geneva Conventions, which means that it should be hanged and hanged. Now there is no way back for the entire commando.
After wrapping a white towel around his left arm and completing the identification mark of friend or foe, Colonel Hans led the group in a half-track and began to drive towards the enemy ammunition depot.
