Section 532 Spring counteroffensive against Ukraine
The Red Russian offensive was dulled by the winter of twenty years, and although the German Eastern Front suffered some losses, the front was stabilized on the line from the Primorsky area - Bydgoszcz-Koning - Ostruw - Opole, Warsaw fell again, East Prussia also collapsed almost completely, Mazowland, Lodz, the eastern part of Slovakia, and half of Romania were lost. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But the Russian army has become the end of the strong crossbow after an autumn offensive, although the German strategy has contracted greatly, and the equipment has been seriously damaged, but the loss of the living forces is not large, while supporting the British front, while desperately trying to stop the offensive of Red Russia, Germany has just undergone a great purge looks precarious.
"The German national trade delegation arrived in Qingdao today for a month-long goodwill visit to the Chinese Democratic Empire." A simple short piece of news, but it has to pay attention to countries that are at war. This time, China has abided by the principle of neutrality and has not directly exported weapons and equipment to Germany, but what does it mean that Germany exports 750,000 tons of special steel and 8 million tons of refined oil products every year, and that Germany exports 5 million workers with high school education or above to China every year? Moreover, the bulk of these labor export accounts are actually settled by several major Jewish consortia in the United States through the Swiss Bank of Les.
"The Wehrmacht is already equipped with 21 panzer divisions and 75 motorized infantry divisions, as well as part of the attack aircraft brigade, organized into 10 armored assault groups. The aviation force has also completed the rearmament, and 112 wings and more than 1,500 fighters have been deployed on the Eastern Front alone, of which the main fighters have been replaced with FW190 and F5 "Eagle" C, and the bombers have also been replaced with JU88-D and B6 "Whirlwind" bombers. Mevackopf still had a thick pile of information in his hands, but the key information was only a few lines, and the Germans were not overwhelmed, but were preparing for a deadly counteroffensive. The Red Russians were not able to digest occupied Poland and East Prussia, and their follow-up forces, although sufficient, were based on the condition that there were no problems on the Eastern Front, but China had already made a heavy bet on the Führer Hess
"It looks like the polar bears are in trouble. Is the situation in Germany stable? Admiral Zhang Jianyuan looked at the intelligence briefing in his hand, and still admired He Minhan, the veteran, very much. The White Russian he sent was no idle person, and it was the "Heydrich. Reinhardt: "Your Excellency, although after microplastic surgery and a period of recuperation, the German flavor on your body has faded a lot, but the habit of speaking with data is still not easy to change.
"It's basically stable, and Canaris will be very capable. At the moment the General Staff is in Walter. Feng. Under the command of Admiral Reichenau*, Operation "Horn" was planned and it was estimated that a rapid counteroffensive would begin at the turn of winter and spring, with the aim of destroying as many Russian forces as possible, destroying Russia's ability to once again threaten the security of the German border, and then deciding, depending on the situation, whether to first settle the British problem once again or to defeat Red Russia in one fell swoop. ”
"Well, grasp the specific time of deployment of the German army. We could take some of the necessary action to give the Germans some cooperation, but not direct firefighting on the ground. "Admiral Zhang Jianyuan* did not intend to tell Mevackopf about the established strategy of the Chinese Defense Forces, and Mevackopf did not ask." The initial operation of the German army is expected to be relatively smooth, after all, the transportation situation in eastern Germany and Poland is good, which is suitable for the deployment of German mechanized troops, but I am still worried that after they enter Ukraine and Belarus, the German offensive will be disjointed due to transportation problems. ”
"According to the results of the General Staff's deduction, the German army can advance as far as the Bryansk-Orel line, and conservatively estimates that it should be able to completely occupy the entire territory of Belarus and Ukraine, and the German army has a stronger deployment on the southern front, and it is estimated that it can advance to the area west of the Don River." Zhu Yunjie interjected: As deputy chief of the general staff, he presided over the deduction of the entire European battlefield.
"Report to the Observer Mission in Europe. The four boreal combat divisions of the German army crossed the border through Sweden and Finland and began to attack the Karelian region, and were engaged in fierce battles with the Russian 33rd Army. The degree of secrecy in this operation is extremely high, and our side has not yet obtained the specific battle situation. A staff officer came in and reported.
"Sound to the west." Zhu Yunjie and Zhang Jianyuan glanced at each other, and at the same time realized that the German army might launch a counteroffensive in advance, and the attack in the north was definitely a diversion operation, but the Red Russia did not dare to relax too much even if it saw it, after all, Petersburg was under the opponent's troops. Attacking Russia in winter may seem crazy, but a well-prepared German army is not necessarily a disadvantage compared to the already exhausted Red Russia. The most important thing is that at the beginning of next spring, Germany will have a whole year to teach the bearded uncle a good lesson, and it seems that in order to consolidate his position as soon as possible, the Führer Hess intends to take advantage of the Red Russia, which invaded East Prussia.
At 3 a.m. on December 22, the twentieth year of the Taichu Dynasty, the German troops broke into the Red Russian-occupied area in three ways. Although the Red Russia expected that Germany would counterattack before the war, a lot of information was contradictory to each other, and the information on the specific time of the counteroffensive was very different, so that the Red Russian government did not know the specific time of the German counteroffensive and did not even know whether Germany would counterattack the Red Russia in the first 20 years. Previously, Red Russia had acquired nearly 1 million square kilometers of land through the "Great Thunderstorm Plan" and was planning to consolidate its vested interests through negotiations. Therefore, the military deployment of the Red Russian army was aimed at linear defense rather than elastic defense. Only the day before the start of the war, the Red Russian High Command found out the specific time of the German attack through the intelligence analysis of German troop movements, but it was too late.
In just 10 days, the Germans advanced 600 kilometers into the Red Russian-occupied zone. On the first day of fighting, the Red Russian army lost 1,200 aircraft, 800 of which were blown up before they could take off. The front was rapidly advancing from the eastern German frontier to the Olsztyn-Prussian Kuv line in central Poland, Warsaw was already exposed to German fire, and the third fall of the capital in two years was closing in favor of the poor Poles.
The Northern Front was led by the German army Wilhelm?? Ritter?? Feng?? Army Group North, commanded by Field Marshal Loeb, was responsible for the attack on the Marmian Masurian region. Within two weeks, the Red Russian army was defeated and retreated 450 kilometers, abandoning the entire Baltic coastal area of East Prussia, 24 divisions of the Red Russian army were completely defeated, 20 divisions lost 60% of their personnel and equipment, and the German Army Group North soon advanced under the city of Kaliningrad. The people of the three Baltic countries had long been strongly dissatisfied with the rule of the Red Russia, so they launched an insurrection against the Red Russian regime at the time of the German invasion, which further contributed to the defeat of the Red Russian army into a great rout.
The Central Front was the focus of the German assault, and the Germans were in Fritz. Army Group Center, commanded by Marshal Manstein, attacked from the direction of the Grodno and Brest fortresses, and completed the encirclement of the Western Military District of Red Russia (i.e., the Western Front) through a double-pincer offensive, the capital of Belarus Minsk fell, the Red Russian army retreated 350 kilometers, 30 divisions were annihilated, and 70 divisions lost more than 50% of their personnel. Subsequently, Army Group Center launched a second pincer offensive in the Smolensk region, and the Germans made slow progress due to the effective organization of the defense by the Red Russians. However, after two months of the battle, the Germans still completed the encirclement and annihilated 300,000 Red Russian troops.
On the Southern Front, the main purpose of Army Group South of the German Army Group Rundstedt was to occupy the agricultural and industrial base of the Red Russians in Ukraine and to obtain the Black Sea ports as supply depots. In front of the Red Russian Kyiv Special Military District (i.e., the Southwestern Front) and the Odessa Military District (Southern Front), the Southwestern Front was the strongest military district of the Red Russia, and in the early days of the war, due to the obvious superiority of the Red Russian army over the German army in terms of strength and equipment, the German army made the slowest progress in this direction. However, due to the fact that the quality of the German army was far superior to that of the Red Russian army at this time, the German army still drove straight to the Dnieper. Due to the excessive losses of the Western Front, the right flank of the Southwestern Front was exposed and did not move in time. When the German army was approaching step by step on the vast land of Ukraine, the weather helped the Red Russian army to stop the German lightning offensive, because of the heavy rain, the roads were muddy, the German tank tracks were stuck in the mud and could not move quickly, and the air force's sortie efficiency in rainy days was also greatly reduced, and the Red Russian army, as the defensive side, was able to give full play to its numerical and artillery superiority, and stopped the offensive momentum of the German Army Group South in the Zhytomyr and Fastov areas.
Having completed the encirclement of Petersburg by the Germans in the far north, they were completely unable to take Petersburg. Army Group North, in order to stabilize the flanks, launched an offensive against Tikhvin, but it was routed. Therefore, the Germans resorted to blockade tactics against Petersburg. Due to the fact that the Red Russian army quickly had a huge advantage in strength in the confrontation with the Germans, the Germans had to take a passive defensive position on the northern front. At the same time, Finland was unwilling to capture the Red Russian region except for the Karelian Isthmus, which had been cut off by the Red Russians in the Winter War, and the Finnish army never attacked Petersburg, but it ensured the German army's logistical supply lines.
In order to keep the Germans from supplies from the occupied territories, the Georgian bearded man used the methods of the civil war of that year. On January 17, the 21st year of the first lunar month, he ordered the Red Russian army to carry out a scorched earth war of resistance in Belarus and Ukraine, using artillery and rocket artillery, and dispatching the air force to destroy the settlements in the 40-60 km deep area on both sides of the road in the forward position, and organize small detachments to set fire to villages and cities, where there were no Germans. People were displaced, hundreds of thousands died, and the people of Red Russia suffered another catastrophe.
This move made Ukrainians hate Russian rule even more, and Hess was not a seditious Führer but a more qualified politician, who adjusted the German occupation policy and actively instigated anti-Russian forces in Belarus and Ukraine, becoming another new force in the Axis powers.
