"Our Comrade Timoshengo is finally no longer stingy and wants to deliver bread to our group of bitter guys?!" Yang Mingzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Comrade Berekov, please show respect to the commander of our Front." Yevlov deliberately put on a serious expression, as if he was angry.

"Alright! All right! I'm sorry, but it's been months since our commander promised to give it up, and now it's finally time to get started. Now tell me, how are they going to deliver? How much food to send? How much ammunition? ”

Lyudbalev said: "Why don't you ask how many people are airdropped? ”

"People?" Yang Mingzhi paused for a moment, and his mind didn't turn for a while. "You're saying that the superiors are going to send someone here? It can't be a group of political commissars sent over! When Comrade Kirponos was still there, he airdropped a batch of them, and these comrades of political commissar did give us a great help, but unfortunately many of them have now died on the road of the charge. ”

Yevlov shook his head: "The political commissars' will to fight is naturally not said, but they are not the most elite fighters. This time, taking into account our losses in the last battle, the higher authorities prepared a paratrooper brigade for us, and one brigade of red dandelions will land in the swamp, after which they will also be under our command. ”

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhi was already trembling. Trying to stay calm, he asked, "What do we need besides paratrooper support?" How much do they deliver? ”

"There are a lot! Very much! Amazing! "Yevlov used a lot of adjectives, he had never seen hundreds of planes resupply in the air, and it was hard to describe that." Comrade Timoshenko personally ordered that the scale of assistance to us must be large, so this time more than 150 aircraft of various types will be launched in one go! The scale of our food and ammunition needs is enormous. It is even possible that the volume of deliveries will increase in actual operations. ”

Lyudbalev echoed: "And the current development of the war situation is also very favorable, in February the Southwestern Front and the Southern Front fought side by side, carried out a certain counteroffensive, and the front advanced a hundred kilometers to the west. The staging area of our Air Force was also transferred to Severodonetsk, where the distance to Novgomel was only six hundred kilometers in a straight line. ”

When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he immediately leaned down. These two and a group of ordinary staff officers must have been discussing the future prospects around the map, and he found the point of Severodonetsk on the map, which was also marked with Novgomel, and a route outlined in pencil, which was indeed not far away by the gauge.

Lyudbalev continued: "Comrade Timoshenko also informed us that for the exciting performance of the 284th Guards Division in the last operation, he believes that your troops will have greater achievements and can even play a special role in the future major counteroffensive as a surprise army, so for the development of the troops, future airdrops will be routine. ”

If the situation develops according to the intentions of the front, and the Soviet troops in the swamps can coordinate the partisans in the eastern and southern parts of Belarus, I am afraid that they will really be able to hit Babruisk in the north and Kyiv in the south.

But because we know the historical process of that plane, this plane will not change much. After the Germans occupied all of the Crimean peninsula, their strategic focus shifted to the south.

Timoshenko claimed that empty supplies would become a daily practice, and Yang Mingzhi did not think that person could do it, and Yevlov and Lyudbalev trusted the commander-in-chief very much.

Yevlov patted Yang Mingzhi on the shoulder kindly, but he actually wanted to give him a hug. "Berekov, I'm afraid that our hard days will come to an end, and in the future a steady stream of flour will be delivered, the staple food of the fighters will be turned into bread, and ordinary villagers will have endless potatoes."

Yang Mingzhi, out of responsibility, still broke Yevlov's dream with euphemism, pointed his finger at a point on the map, and said: "Comrades! Let's not be too idealistic. As the chief of staff of the division, it is necessary for me to tell you my opinion, such as the position you see that I am pointing to. I am afraid that the future macro wars will all revolve around this point. ”

Yevlov followed his finger to see that this point was actually the Baku oil field in the Caucasus, and immediately said: "This is an oil field, it is too far away from us." You have said earlier that the possible strategic intention of the German army is to attack our Volga valley, but judging by the current situation, we have made a fairly good counterattack. ”

In addition to Yevlov, several other staff officers said similar things, and optimism spread in the division headquarters.

It's good that everyone is hopeful about the future, but it's fatal not to see the hidden dangers.

Yang Mingzhi is not pretending to be forced, he said unceremoniously: "The victory in the battle of the Donbas River in February is short-lived, don't think that if we win, we will be able to make persistent efforts to take Kharkov!" Because the Germans are definitely actively preparing for military operations, to gather a large number of troops, like attacking Moscow, to attack the Baku oil fields! ”

He fully explained the possible strategic intentions of the German army, which was actually what the German army did in the history of that plane.

"The Germans would first occupy all of Crimea, and then cross the Kerch Strait to attack the Caucasus Mountains. The German general who is now leading the offensive on this side, we also know, is Manstein! This is a strategist, and we must pay attention. Even if we are still firmly defending Sevastopol, in the end we will still lose because we do not have the advantage.

When this port city is lost, there are only two barriers left in the Baku oil fields, one is the towering Caucasus Mountain, and the rest is Stalingrad! ”

"Two barriers? I can understand the Caucasus Mountains, but Stalingrad, the city of the Volga, is about the safety of the Baku oil fields? Yevlov asked cautiously.

"That's right! The Germans just occupied the Baku oil field, and our army could still recover it directly from the north all the way south, and as the largest railway dispatch node in the Volga River Basin, the strategic value of Stalingrad is self-evident, right? It's all on the map! Take a look at the tower's extensive rail network! ”

After Yang Mingzhi said this, the witty Lyudbalev had already realized the seriousness of the situation. He said: "Berekov, I have heard that you have made your own analysis of the future course of the war, and it sounds so reasonable, but you have described the war situation too pessimistically. Unless the Germans beat our Southwestern Front to the point of collapse, they will be able to drive straight in. Even if this were possible, if the Baku oil fields were to be lost, and the railway station of Stalingrad was lost, wouldn't the Soviet Union be in danger? ”

Yang Mingzhi paused and said, "That's right! Don't look at the fact that we have a great advantage now, in fact, the Germans also know how to defeat us, as long as they take away the steel and coal and oil of the Soviet Union, leaving only a small piece of land, the Soviet Union will still be defeated. Therefore, the future war situation will definitely not be as Comrade Timoshenko imagined, the Southwestern Front to which we belong will have to defend the extremely long Donbass defense line, it will be difficult to resist the blitzkrieg of the German army, and in the end our army will have to retreat, even all the way to the Volga. ”

"Is it to withdraw to Stalingrad?" Yevlov asked.

"Perhaps, if the Germans had gathered a heavy group, I believe that a decisive battle would have taken place on the Volga, in which the battle for Stalingrad would have become no less than the battle for the defense of Moscow. But in the end, we will win. ”

The people in Chengdu couldn't help but take a deep breath, this Berekov thought about the battle situation too pessimistically, how could it sound so reasonable? Yevlov did not want all this to happen, because across the Volga, across the Caucasus Mountains, the Germans would immediately hit Asia!

He asked eagerly, "If the enemy attacks on a large scale, when will it be?" ”

Yang Mingzhi thought for a while, of course he wouldn't tell them that it would be June. However, this plane is only a macro event that will not change, such as the date of the start of the battle. One thing is certain: Germany will find a way to avoid a defeat like the attack on Moscow. Although the defeat of that battle was manifold, Germany desperately promoted that the brutal ice and snow of Russia had become the best weapon for the Soviets, and tried to make excuses for the defeat by portraying the defeated German army as Napoleon and France.

There were so many lies that the German soldiers themselves wanted to believe.

Yang Mingzhi said: "The enemy is absolutely unwilling to continue fighting in winter, and when the cold snap hits and it is minus 20 degrees Celsius, this group of Germans cannot stand it." So they will not go on a full-scale offensive in the fall, I think that after the capture of the Crimea, the offensive against the east and south will not stop, and a new big war will break out in June. ”

Hearing this, Yevlov quickly turned around and waited for the clerk to shout: "Alki, have you written down all the words of the deputy division commander?" ”

"It's all written down!"

He turned quickly, his face no longer having the joy he had just had. "Berekov, you are really my good brother! It's a shame to stay in this unit, you should go to the front headquarters! Of course, that is impossible, but the future strategy of the Germans that you just mentioned is possible, and I must report it to Comrade Timoshenko. ”

Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath: "I hope he will understand my pessimistic opinion." ”
