Chapter 217: The Situation in Europe
This plan is simple to say, but it still takes a lot of effort to actually operate. //www. First of all, it is necessary to try to know the location, number, and ability of US submarines to attack the I-52 submarines. If the Americans' Little Shark-class submarines and "Whitefish" class submarines are a little closer to the route of the Devil submarine in the Pacific Ocean. Then everything will be easy.
Himmler's transport submarine was far more advanced in performance than any submarine ever seen on Earth and will be in the next 100 years. Therefore, based on the principle of confidentiality, Bai Qi does not want others to know about the existence of this kind of thing. But in order to fool the little devil, he still revealed a little bit more or less. In the performance of the submarine for the little devils to show. The huge submarine was extremely fast, and it only took half an hour for the little devil's other submarines to completely disappear. Airplanes flying in the sky and submarines under water could not find traces. The devils were shocked and deeply impressed by German technology, and their determination to follow Germany became even stronger.
Although Himmler did not reach a written agreement with the devils, he influenced the devils' decision-making from the side. Lewd men, frozen hard chickens, and a bunch of imps all agree to further develop the cooperative relationship with Germany. Only by thoroughly understanding the current state of scientific and technological development in Germany can we make the right decisions about Japan's future policy. They were eager to forge closer alliances with Germany, and the task of this diplomatic team was more important than ever.
Although all of them, including the frozen chicken, wanted to establish a friendship with Himmler, Himmler, a guy with a high eye, was really shameless, and soon after he went to sea, he found the German submarine in the dinghy. Although this huge big guy has been hiding in the sea not far from the Izu Islands in Japan, the devils haven't even noticed it for a while! There's a powerful weapon hidden under your nose, and you don't know it, it's a great danger!
These guys can't imagine that Himmler's submarine can dive to a depth of more than 1,200 meters. Hiding at the bottom of the sea, not very far from Japan, the air circulation system inside the submarine is able to provide fresh air, almost indistinguishable from the fresh air that people on land breathe. The quantity is still abundant, and there are no problems even supplying the operation of rotary piston engines. The interior is spacious and comfortable, and it doesn't feel cramped at all. It's just that advanced technology and automatic control have high technical requirements for those who operate submarines, and at present, they still belong to the remote control command of the camp base in the mountains, and there are no qualified seafarers who have not yet been trained.
Himmler – This guy is now on his way back from the Bohai Sea. He had a full meal of pancake rolls and green onions, and now even his fart smelled of shallots. Fortunately, the green onions in Zhangqiu are still not spicy, and the taste is slightly sweet, otherwise this guy who has never eaten such original ecological food will be spicy and shed tears. Zehou had just left with a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, spring water from Jinan and other foods that Liu Rui had prepared for him, and when he was about to arrive at the high seas, he received an order from the base camp. Order him to make a good show against the devil's diplomatic team.
The plan was to manipulate the U.S. Navy to attack the I-52 submarine after it passed through the Strait of Malacca. It's a bit difficult. First of all, part of the fleet of the little devils is stationed in the Mediterranean and other regions, and they have not yet been driven out by the Americans. In this place, these devils are destined to stop and replenish supplies. In this way, it will waste a lot of time to stop and go, and it will give the enemies on the Eastern Front more respite.
At present, under the command of Stalin, the biggest hairy man, he has begun to expand his army at a frantic pace. Anglo-American aid is even more abundant than it has historically been, especially since the Americans don't care about any ideological struggle. I only know what the Soviet Union needs and what it lacks, so I stuff it into the hands of the **!
WhatsMiner's "Lend-Lease Act" has simply become an unconditional send-off! Once the Americans, who had been tied to the thief ship, decided to go to war, there was no way back. They are bent on asking American GIs to use their lives to fight for the future position of the United States! Roosevelt, the scheming and scheming greatest conspirator in history, was to calculate the whole world! It's just that this time he miscalculated, and Bai Qi, the biggest variable, was something he wouldn't have expected. This powerful German leader, with a sharp eye for lightning, had long since seen through his machinations. The Americans now have no shortcuts at all except to meet the Germans in a real way. The war has reached the point of life and death!
The top priority at the moment is to force the little devils to go north to fight the Soviet Union as soon as possible. Bai Qi didn't want to wait for a day. Although the digital construction of the German army will take time, the formation of combat effectiveness still needs to be carefully crafted. But their firepower configuration is already unprecedentedly powerful, and the firepower output of a division's unit time is already more than ten times that of before! A whole number more than the army of the Soviet **! With such an advantage, even in the face of Mao Zibing's charge all over the mountains, there is no need to be afraid!
At present, the construction of German artillery is underway, the production of self-propelled howitzers with the ability to maneuver at the level of main battle tanks is accelerating, and the preparation of 155 mm caliber shells is enough for a full-scale offensive. The "Sword of Odin" self-propelled heavy artillery has been prioritized to equip Guderian's Sixth Army, the most effective German army on the Eastern Front, which is now invincible all over the world! Perhaps under the command of Guderian, a German general ten times stronger than Paulus, he may be able to successfully capture Stalingrad, a strategic place on the banks of the Volga River, in six episodes!
Li Ming had never been interested in the battle of attacking cities and plundering land, although a thousand years ago he had led the Great Qin Iron Army to conquer the enemy's land and cities again and again. But this is no longer the case, and taking the other side's city is no longer a sign of victory in the war!
Victory now is about destroying the enemy's ability to fight, and only when the opponent has no strength to fight back can it be called victory. If we do not give up any of the land we have acquired, as Comrade Xiaoxi did, we will only exhaust the limited strength of the German army little by little, and we will eventually be defeated by the enemy in a protracted war and a war of attrition.
This method of warfare determined that it would not be an overnight affair to completely defeat the Soviet Union, and the German General Staff Headquarters was also arguing with each other in order to achieve victory on the Eastern Front as soon as possible. I have a problem with the tone set by Bai Qi, and Paulus doesn't know that Germany has obtained the secret of North Sea oil. He was bent on launching an offensive in the southern part of the Soviet Union, taking the Caucasus with superior forces and obtaining the oil resources there. At the same time, the Soviet Union's energy supply was intercepted, and the Soviet Union would soon be unable to hold on to the other. Because as long as the Caucasus is occupied, it means that the main line of communication between Britain and the United States to support the Soviet Union will be cut off, and the Soviet Union will not be able to hold out without their support. Therefore, this plan is definitely a ruthless move! If you attack the enemy's capital, like the traditional German staff officers such as Guderian and Manstein, it will only bring great casualties to the German army, although the German army can win a heavy victory! Because the reconnaissance has shown that Moscow's defenses are constantly being strengthened, and there is even spare strength to support Leningrad, which is also surrounded by German troops! Stalin concentrated more than 2 million men of his men in the Moscow region, more than twice as many as the opposing Army Group Center. According to the general practice, when the Soviet army has a superior force, it is only right that the Soviet army should launch an offensive, and the main reason why the Soviet army has not yet begun offensive operations is that their preparations are not sufficient. In such a situation, the German army should avoid the real and attack the weak, and attack the equally important energy base in the south of the Soviet Union is the best policy!
In fact, Paulus's idea is not unreasonable. I think that Comrade Xiaoxi was bent on launching an offensive in the south of the Soviet Union. After an initial victory in the summer of '42, this guy was carried away by the victory and committed a military taboo - division of troops! He decided to attack the Caucasus and Stalingrad at the same time! This created the tragedy of the siege and annihilation of the city in six episodes, and since then the German army has no strategic advantage in the war situation, and it has been beaten to Berlin step by step!
It can be seen how important the strategic objective of the campaign is. Only by establishing the correct strategic direction can the blood of the soldiers not be shed in vain! to be able to win step by step.
Therefore, Li Mingcai made careful preparations, and repeatedly fooled the little devils to create panic for the Soviets, as long as they decided to enter the war, then the defeat of the Soviet Union was almost certain!
The decision to attack Moscow was based on the preparation of many hands, and the occupation of the enemy's capital was not the goal of Bai Qi, Bai Qi's idea was to mobilize the Soviet army by attacking Moscow. Take advantage of the German army's ability to maneuver much better than the ** to create an opportunity to annihilate the enemy in motion! If it is done well, it will not be difficult to have another large-scale encirclement and annihilation war!
Compared with the attack on the Caucasus, it is better to attack the Moscow region, where the terrain conditions are more conducive to the mobility of armored forces.
In fact, with the Luftwaffe firmly in charge, no matter which offensive route it chooses, it can achieve great results. What I was afraid of was not daring to attack boldly, and I didn't grasp the opportunity when it appeared. It will lead to a stalemate in the battle and an end to a refueling tactic. This was unacceptable for the Germans. Street fighting with the other side becomes a battle that can be avoided and avoided.
Although the urban battle suit of the Leopard 3 tank has been finalized under the design of Da Afu, it is difficult to remove the ** child who has always had a strong will to fight in a short period of time. The most urgent task at the moment when Stalin and his staff were anxious to restore the front was to conduct another large-scale mobile operation and strive for a decisive general battle in the wilderness! Gather the main force of the ** under the city of Moscow!
The specific deployment plan for this task is actually very difficult to formulate, even with the military geniuses of Manstein, Zeitzler, Bock and countless other outstanding staff officers of the German army. This kind of combat method can only be done by commanders like Bai Qi and Su Yu who can anticipate the enemy's mutation, make decisions like knives, and act like swords. At present, among the German generals, there are only two commanders with such a style, Guderian and Rommel! Bai Qi has always been undecided between the two people, and it has become a difficult choice to choose which one person will be the military commander of the attack on Moscow. In fact, Bai Qi mentally wanted Guderian to command this offensive operation for a long time, but Guderian said that he was not ready. Want to wait until at least a month before running the campaign. Although this time is the latest time that Bai Qi is expected to attack. It can also be said to be in line with Bai Qi's vision of the campaign. However, there were many disadvantages for the Air Force, because during this period of time, the performance of the planes that Britain and the United States assisted the Soviet Union was getting better and better, and the number was increasing. As long as the ** sons have another month, they will be able to accumulate enough numbers to compete with the Luftwaffe. At that time, the ** sons have sufficient reserve forces, and they are not afraid that they will lose air supremacy once the losses are too heavy! They give it a go, and you can imagine that they can use any desperate tricks! Although the Luftwaffe is much better technically than them, and its combat ability is much better, it is difficult to protect it once it encounters desperate guys! Under such circumstances, Bai Qi wanted to launch a large-scale all-out attack while the Soviet Air Force had not yet eased up, seeking a chance to fight with the enemy, and the first air force could be hit hard again. Their situation will not change for a while.
The reason for the slight hesitation is that Rommel, who is in Africa, has basically completed his task. If we attack the front, it will still be difficult with the current capabilities of the German army. Not to mention the difficulties caused by the long supply lines, there is still a powerful force in the rear eyeing to land in Africa! Whether a tactical genius like Rommel can cope with it is not guaranteed by Bai Qi, who intends to replace him with the former chief of staff Halder, and then use Rommel in the most assault knife on the Eastern Front battlefield that is more suitable for him, and cooperate with Guderian to fly together and smash Moscow! But the little fox has worked hard to lay down the North African country, and has just gotten a chance to breathe. It's still a little unpleasant to transfer him away like this. Besides, little Ah Fu, a guy who can't be ignored, has established a deep friendship with the nurse, and the hasty transfer of Rommel will cause this trouble? But if you don't recruit Rommel to the Eastern Front, let him be a defensive general in Africa, and have this useful offensive wizard idle! After careful consideration, Li Ming decided to gather the marshals together for a comprehensive military conference on the Eastern Front. Decide on personnel arrangements.
