The victory of the Red Russian army in the Battle of Kursk was tactically related to drawing on the combat experience of the British army in North Africa. In May www.biquge.info 23rd year of the first century, the British military delegation met with the General Staff of the Russian Army, and the regiment commander, Lieutenant General Matt, found that the opinion of the high-ranking Russian generals who advocated taking the initiative to attack when they discovered that the German army was attempting to attack prevailed. He told him frankly: When the elite armored forces of the German army are not consumed, the Russian army habitually launches an attack before the enemy is tantamount to asking for trouble and will inevitably fail. A few days later, he again revealed to the Russian generals the secret of the British victory: "We always try to get the German armoured forces to crash our lines, or at least to blunt their blades, and when they have exhausted their strength and sharpness, it is time for us to turn from defense to attack." Later, he provided a valuable lesson to the Russian generals: "When the enemy tanks break through, it is important to hold the 'waist' on both sides. and use all available reserves to strengthen the defenses on both sides of the breach, and not to fight for water in the face of a flood that has broken through the embankment."

Fundamentally, the guiding principle of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Germany and Russia was the most critical factor in the Battle of the Dnieper. In the early days of the war, Zhugashvili could not listen to the opinions of the front-line generals and suffered many undeserved defeats, but the later he went, the more he paid attention to respecting the opinions of the generals, he learned the lessons of the early days, and treated the battlefield reality with an objective and calm attitude. This is the most obvious difference between the two German and Russian commanders in directing the war.

Despite entering the battle under unfavorable conditions, Manstein and other generals still saw that it was still possible to win as long as they persevered to the end. However, because of the unexpected loss of Germany's secret nuclear program, Führer Hess lost his determination and courage, and he withdrew halfway through and lost his last chance. According to Merinjin's analogy in "Tank Battle", they have already grabbed the wolf's ear, on the one hand, they did not kill it, and on the other hand, they did not dare to let go.

According to the Russian war historian Alexander ?? Koramachkin researched: In the critical decisive battle of the Prokhrovka tank, 500 of the 660 tanks of the Russian army were destroyed, and 200 of the 420 tanks of the German army were lost, and the Russian army has put into the last strategic reserve. The commander of the 5th Guards Tank Army, Rotmistrov, recalled: "When he learned of the losses, Comrade Dzhugashvili was furious, according to the plans of the High Command that the tank units would be used for the counteroffensive near Kharkov, but now they had to be rebuilt and replenished, and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief decided to remove me from his post and almost sent me to a military court. "According to the 2.5 to 1 attrition ratio of Soviet and German tanks, the German army consumes another 64 tanks, and it can fight out the remaining 160 tanks on the battlefield of the Russian army, and the German army still has 156 tanks, and it is entirely possible to avoid the defeat of the Battle of Kursk. According to the experience of the war: "It is often the last battalion that decides victory in a battle. But Hess had given up his intention to join forces with China as close to the Ural Mountains as possible, and it was clear that the only way to shoulder the burden of the Russian mission was to rely on northern China to send troops, and it was clearly not Germany alone who intended to rely on Chinese forces to turn the tide of the war.

In early September, just as the Russian-German battle was at its height, the British Eighth Army under Montgomery (North Africa had been abandoned) and the American Seventh Army under the command of General Patton landed at Port Manuel, Scotland. Upon receiving this news, the Führer Hess was restless, and he decided to abandon the battle on the Russian-German battlefield and withdraw his troops in order to preserve strength and prepare for defense. The commander of the German Southern Front, Manstein, was greatly dissatisfied with the Führer's decision, believing that if he held on to the end, the Germans would be able to encircle the main forces of the Soviet 5th Tank Guards Army and eventually occupy the strategic location of Bryansk. However, the Führer Hess, who had lost hope of seizing control of the world, did not take Manstein's advice and transferred the main forces such as the SS Panzer Army out of the Gomeri region. These units were officially withdrawn from the battlefield. After that, the Führer Guards Division of the German SS Panzer Corps was transferred to the north of France.

The main reason for the retreat of the German army was not the loss of combat effectiveness, but the loss of the courage and confidence of the German Supreme Commander to continue the fight against the Red Russian army. With Hess's decision, the Germans' last chance to gain the strategic initiative on the Eastern Front in Europe was lost.

Historians have pointed out that the newly released archives provide a more accurate picture of the battle that took place many years ago, but in any way do not change the fate of Germany's doomed defeat in the struggle for world leadership. The battle in the eastern bank of Dnieper, which lasted more than 50 days, finally ended on October 2, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty, with the Red Russian army stabilizing the Orel defensive line. After this battle, the Red Russian army completely seized the strategic initiative and switched to a strategic offensive. Commenting on this hard-won victory, Dzhugashvili said: "The victory of the Red Russian army in the battle on the east bank of the Dnieper River indicates that the Germans have exhausted their skills."

But it should actually be the Red Russian Army that is really weak, because in the face of the 7th Army, which has swept the remnants of the Eastern Front from the direction of Orenburg and has reached the periphery of Samara, the 6th Army, which swept the remnants of the Red Russian Army from Saratov to the south on the Don Plain, and the 12th Army, which occupies Ufa as a starting base, has also pointed to Kazan, and the situation on the Eastern Front has reached the verge of collapse. Behind these three Chinese armies were the National Guard composed of more than 40 infantry and cavalry divisions of the White Russian Empire and various ethnic militias enslaved by Red Russia in the Far East. Not to mention that almost all the inhabitants of the Far East were mobilized, and under the influence of the Chinese's Zhongyuan and winter supplies, they hunted the Red Russian guerrillas everywhere like Indian tribal warriors who hunted the scalp of white ghosts, and even if they could not eliminate the guerrillas for a while, they would entangle them and then call for the support of the Chinese army aviation troops through signal flares and radios, and break up the Red Russian guerrillas who outnumbered them several times more than them under the intensive artillery fire of the "Mountain Patrol Beast" low-altitude suppressors.

Having stabilized the situation on the Oryol front, the Red Russian High Command began to rapidly move troops eastward, preparing to build a new Peasants' and Workers' line in the Nizhny Novgorod-Ulyanovsk region in order to defend against the invasion of the evil dragon from the east. "It would be nice if we had more lads." When Comrade Zhugashvili once again inspected a Red Russian women's air defense division composed entirely of young and middle-aged women aged 18 to 32 on Red Square and sent them to the Eastern Front with an enthusiastic speech, he could not help but complain in his heart, of course, he could not understand that China had already begun its offensive against Red Russia after the last Irkutsk conflict, but this offensive method was not something that people of this era could understand.

"Comrade Maxim, I don't want your casualty figures, I just want you to hold out until 3 p.m., so that the glorious 4th Guards Tank Brigade can withdraw from Novogubyshevsk. This is what Comrade Dzhugashvili, the Peasants' and Workers' Party and the Russian people demand from you, and you must carry it out..."

The rumbling of artillery turned from intermittent to infinite electrical noise, the new deputy commander of the 342nd Infantry Division of the Red Army, who had been killed in the Tyumen front and then crawled out of the pile of dead Odantin of the Red Russian Army. Comrade Maxim doesn't need to guess to know what is going to happen, it must be like "people are in the position, and people can't lose the position." "Why don't these bastard commissars of the front army come and see the situation here for themselves"

"Comrade Deputy Division Commander, Comrade Deputy Division Commander, Mikhailovich . Political Commissar Liu Jing asked me to convey the order of the military party committee, asking you to lead all comrades who can participate in the operation to penetrate behind the enemy as soon as possible, destroy the enemy's artillery positions or command organs, and then seek an opportunity to break through to the north and strive for the return of the Don Front formation. ”

Looking at the dozen company commanders and two or three battalion-level cadres around him, Xiangrui Maxim, who escaped death twice, has a feeling of being at the end of the road, there are only two or three such kittens left in a division, and he has to die to carry out the task of a death squad interspersed behind enemy lines, he doesn't think that he is the illegitimate son of God and his old man, but the order of the political commissar is the lightning in the hands of Zeus, if he has a little hesitation, I believe that those neatly dressed blue hats will definitely not hesitate to give him the right law on the spot.

In the spirit of revolutionary optimism that people will die and birds will not die for thousands of years, Maxim led the remaining more than 300 fighters of this division to change into some of the military uniforms of the White Russian army in ten trucks, and went from the highway to behind the defense line of the Chinese devils. They bluffed through the interrogation of the two lines of defense, and they all said that it was the White Russian army that helped collect the prisoners of war, anyway, those comrades in the uniforms of the Red Russian army were also disgraced, plus the extreme malaise brought about by the fierce battle for a few days and nights was not much different from the prisoners, plus the documents forged by the Cheka were quite reliable, Maxim even felt that he might be just as lucky this time.

Seeing that he had already passed through the defense line of the Chinese devils and entered the rear, Maxim and the blue hat beside him relaxed. Suddenly, a roar ran through the sky like rolling thunder, and it was the roar of the mountain patrol beast. The convoy did not stop, let alone turn off the lights, otherwise they would have been named from beginning to end by the "Mountain Patrol Beast" low-altitude pressor.

Two Chinese off-road vehicles lay across the middle of the road in front of the road, and it appears that a Chinese military police squad is temporarily checking passing vehicles. Seeing that the opponent's heavy machine guns were already pointed at him, Maxim felt the urge to stop and surrender, and his instincts told him that the soldiers were waiting to capture them.

"Rush over." The blue hat also noticed that something was wrong, and he let out a low roar, drew his pistol and put it on the driver's waist, and glared at Maxim with his eyes viciously, as if to warn him not to hesitate. Maxim looked at the White Russian military officer uniform on his body, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, even if he surrendered at this time, he would not survive.

An hour later, a team of officers and soldiers of the real White Russian Empire began to clean up the messy scene on the road, and the convoy that had just rushed through the checkpoint was baptized by the "mountain patrol beasts" who had returned from their heads before they could disperse and hide, and then two off-road vehicles repeatedly strafed twice with machine guns, and these more than 300 Red Russian troops were killed and wounded, and they were powerless to fight back.

Maxim's neck was half broken, and he tried to make a sound, but streams of blood poured out of his mouth. As if to understand Maxim's question, a White Russian lieutenant in charge of counting the corpses scolded in a low voice: "What a fool, you don't even know that each of our vehicles is equipped with anti-air reflective identification boards, and this big night is uneasy to wait for death in your trenches, and you have to trouble us to clean up the mess, it's just a bunch of damn animals." Maxim smiled self-deprecatingly, and the wry smile was fixed on his face, and the White Russian lieutenant put away the still smoking Mauser pistol in his hand and kicked Colonel Maxim, who was no longer breathing.

"Someone, drag this stupid pig away and bury it."
