The South-Western Front (commanded by General P. Malinovsky) was subordinate to the 8th and 3rd Guards Army, the 6th and 12th armies and the aviation of the 17th Army of the Air Force.

Originally, this time in the Battle of Zaporozhye, the campaign attempt of the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union was from the northeast; Simultaneous assaults on Zaporozhye were carried out in the centripetal direction on the three eastern and southeastern sides, a night attack was launched to capture the city of Zaporozhye, liberate the city, and improve the situation on the southern flank of the Soviet-German battlefield as soon as possible.

As well as expanding the occupied theater of operations at the Dnieper landing sites and attacking in the direction of Krivoy Rog.

Of course, this was only the strategic goal of the Southwestern Soviet Front, and the 57th Army, which originally belonged to the Southwestern Soviet Front, and the 1st Guards Army also continued to stay and assist the army group in operations.

The 1st and 2nd Tank Armies were transferred to the 5th Guards Tank Army, with a total strength of 180,000 men and 1,500 tanks.

The 5th Guards Tank Army Group was used as a reserve to assist the Southwestern Front in operations, which means that the Southwestern Front at this moment had more than 800,000 troops.

At this moment, the Soviet army is engaged in a large-scale battle on the Dnieper, intending to liberate the left bank of Ukraine, Donbass, Kyiv, and even Belarus and other regions; The total number of troops invested was more than 3 million, which was more than the original historical figure of more than 2.6 million.

More than 95,000 artillery pieces and mortars, more than 4,500 tanks and self-propelled guns, and 5,000 combat aircraft were put in, which was almost twice as much as the weapons and equipment invested by the Soviet army in the original history.

Because in 1943, the Soviet army developed and produced about 60,000 aircraft, which is twice the number of 35,000 aircraft in the original history.

Similarly, the Soviet army developed and produced 50,000 tanks on its own, which is more than double the original history of more than 24,000 tanks.

Of course, rifles, various artillery, and self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, anti-aircraft artillery, and Hatyusha rocket artillery and other weapons and equipment have also tripled.

And with the support of countries such as Britain and the United States, especially the United States, which have increased their efforts in natural resources; However, they have obtained more American-style weapons and equipment, and the production speed of Soviet-style weapons and equipment that they have developed and produced is also accelerating.

For example, in April, the Soviet army was able to produce only a little more than 5,000 aircraft and 6,000 tanks a month.

However, by May, the Soviet army's production of both aircraft and tanks had exceeded 8,000 units per month.

Of course, not every one of these aircraft and tanks is of acceptable quality, but their advantage is that they are more numerous, and more wins less.

The reason why the Soviet army was able to produce so many weapons and equipment so quickly was that the national mobilization order called for by Comrade Stalin allowed the Soviet army to expand its more than 1,300 ordnance factories in 1941 to more than 6,000 large and small ordnance factories, and even underground factories were included in it.

Of course, it was only with the covert assistance of the U.S. military and the strong support of President Roosevelt that it could be done in such a short period of time.

Of course, this is the same as the original historical time and space situation, and the number of factories is twice as much.

Therefore, in the summer of 1942, the Soviet Army formed a tank army, which generally had 3 tank brigades and 1 motorized infantry brigade under its jurisdiction. There are about 6,000 people, about 200 tanks, and about 70 to 80 artillery pieces.

Of course, in 1943, the Soviet Tank Army had more than 18,000 people in one army, more than 400 tanks, heavy tanks, medium tanks, and self-propelled guns, and 300 artillery pieces.

The Soviet Army formed a mechanized army in the autumn of 1942, which generally has 3 mechanized brigades (1 tank regiment per brigade), 1 tank brigade, and 1 anti-aircraft artillery regiment, as well as 1 anti-tank and 1 artillery regiment, with a strength of about 10,000 people.

But now in September 1943, the total strength of the Soviet Army's ordnance army was 25,000 people, 450 tanks, self-propelled guns, and artillery pieces added to more than 1,000 pieces.

It can be said that in 1943, the strength and weapons and equipment of the Soviet army in 1943 were one to three times more than the original historical time and space, and even four times as much.

In addition, the Soviet Army also had the Azov Sea Flotilla and the guerrillas behind enemy lines to cooperate in the operation, so for Chen Yanlong's combat order, Moder reorganized and replenished the 9th Army, the 2nd Panzer Army, as well as the 5th SS "Viking" Panzer Division, the 6th SS "Northern" Mountain Division and other SS elite units.

and Manstein personally led the troops of Army Group South, i.e., the 8th, 6th Army, 4th; the 1st Panzer Army, with a total strength of more than 1.3 million troops; 26,000 artillery pieces and mortars, 3,500 tanks and assault guns; More than 3,000 combat aircraft, as well as the newly formed 508 heavy armored division, 450 T-54 tanks.

In addition, there are more than 500,000 improvised Ukrainian troops, and 150,000 Romanian, and Hungary and other countries are assembled together to carry out the southwestern Soviet Front army of more than 800,000 troops, Chen Yanlong's confidence is still full.

But that's not to say that he wasn't worried, because in addition to the ongoing battle of Zaporizhzhia; The battle of the Dnieper River was also being carried out in a resurgence, and this time the Soviet army mobilized more than 3 million troops, more than 122,800 artillery pieces and mortars, more than 6,800 tanks and self-propelled guns, and more than 6,800 combat aircraft; There are more than 10,000 pilots, and there are more than 3,000 alternate pilots, including those female pilots.

In addition to this, there are a large number of firearms, and grenades, anti-tank guns, Hatyusha rocket launchers, mines and other weapons and equipment; Of course, one-third of these weapons and equipment were reinforced by the US military.

Even the current American M1 Garand rifle began to equip some of the Soviet Army's Guards and other elite units.

Regarding the increasingly strong family background of the Soviet army, Chen Yanlong has not yet known the roots, has not known himself and his opponent, and has won every battle.

But his instinctive instinct was to let him use the mobile phone exchange system in advance to exchange for a lot of new weapons and equipment; Conduct an offensive against the increasingly mechanized units of the Soviet troops.

However, for Chen Yanlong now, he is also very worried about his mobile phone exchange system, if all the new weapons and equipment exchanged are used up, where will he come up with more new weapons and equipment to resist the counterattack of the troops of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries.

Because his mobile phone exchange system is still in a state of punishment that has been discontinued, it will take two to three months at the earliest before it can be used again, and it is not worth it when this cheating mobile phone exchange system comes, and there will be no unexpected bad situations.

"Whew! I hope that Moder and Manstein can achieve good results in the Battle of Zaporizhzhia and the Battle of the Dnieper! It's better to be able to repel and cripple those Soviet troops, so that in the winter, I can send troops to continue the attack on Leningrad, or Moscow! ”

"In short, we must fight fear, cripple the Soviet army, and lay the foundation for the rise of Germany and the establishment of a unified and strong European Union!"

When Moder and Manstein were quickly assembling their armies and heading to Zaporizhzhia to encircle and annihilate the more than 800,000 troops of the Southwestern Soviet Front, Chen Yanlong sat on his side and paced around in the back garden of the Berlin Chancellery, muttering to himself.

"Hey! Hitler! ”

At this moment, Guderian, led by a captain of the guards, came to the back garden where Chen Yanlong was, and as soon as they met, he saluted Chen Yanlong with a standard military salute and said loudly.

"Oh! Here you are, Guderian! ”

Chen Yanlong also raised his right hand slightly, returned a salute, and responded lightly.
