Chapter 486: Manstein's Goal of the Soviet Army
"Boom! Thundered! Rumble ......"
And at this time Moder, and Chief of Staff John of Operations, and Chief of Staff Everfeldt; As well as Manstein, a number of high-ranking generals, as well as operational staff officers, were outside the headquarters on the front, using military binoculars to observe the Scud missiles and P-2 missiles launched by their troops.
And the brand of military telescopes used by these senior German generals is the Zeiss 7×50 telescope, so they can see farther and clearer.
"We're running out of missiles, what's next? Marshal Moder! ”
Chief Operations Staff Officer John frowned and said as he looked at Moder, who was intently observing the battle.
"The Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union, have we annihilated it?"
Modell asked rhetorically.
"Not yet! However, there are less than 40,000 troops left in this front army, and there are still a lot of wounded soldiers! It's almost the battle plan to be wiped out by us! ”
Chief Operational Staff Officer John replied.
"I don't think it's possible, just now our front-line generals came back with news that General Malinovsky of the Southwestern Soviet Front and his 30,000 remnants were rescued by Zhukov's army!"
"In other words, our plan to completely annihilate the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union has failed!"
Modell shook his head and said.
"Although we did not completely annihilate the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union, we annihilated a Soviet army of more than 800,000 troops, and only tens of thousands remained, so the result is okay!"
Without waiting for the chief operational staff officer John, Manstein, who had not spoken, suddenly said.
"But the first result of Yuan is total annihilation, and he has already dispatched a lot of new weapons and equipment to us, as well as elite troops; But we were still a little bit close to getting the job done, and I'm really not happy with the result! ”
"It would be nice if our combat speed could be faster, if it weren't for the weak combat strength of those Ukrainian troops and the troops of the client countries, and they don't have much actual combat experience, then we would definitely be able to annihilate them with so many new weapons and equipment against these Soviet troops this time!"
Modell, however, retorted excitedly.
"Since we have let the Southwestern Front of the Soviet Union escape a few troops, then we can now annihilate their other troops, especially the tank troops of the Soviet army, we can get rid of them even more unscrupulously!"
Manstein replied nonchalantly.
At the same time, he was already paying attention to other things in his mind, and he was quickly thinking about how to eat the other units of the Soviet army, so that he could get more credit and get more rewards from Chen Yanlong!
"I think so, too, I wonder if you have any good proposals? Which Soviet unit are we going to eat next? ”
Modell agreed.
"I want to annihilate the Soviet 2nd Guards Tank Army, the 2nd Tank Army, the 4th Guards Tank Army, the 3rd Guards Tank Army, the 25th Tank Army, and the 20th Tank Army! How do you feel? ”
Lion Manstein said with a big smile.
"Hey! You have a great appetite! These tank units are not so tasty, and we now use almost half of the tank army, and a large number of missile attacks; barely crippled a quarter of their tanks, and we lost quite a few of our own tanks! ”
Modell shook his head disapprovingly.
"And what about the Soviet 4th Tank Army, the 9th and 19th Tank Army, and the 1st Tank Army? We have now annihilated a third of their tanks! If we concentrate all our armor forces on them and attack them with all our might, we should be able to get rid of them! ”
Manstein continued to speak out about the target he had set in sight for annihilation.
"I feel like we can annihilate their 9th and 19th Tank Corps! These two forces are about to die when we are blowing! ”
Moder thought for a moment before suggesting.
"Good! So it's decided! Let's discuss now how to completely annihilate these two Soviet tank armies! ”
Manstein happily agreed.
Then the two of them didn't talk much nonsense, and called all the generals and operational staff officers over by themselves; An emergency operational meeting was held, the goal of which was to completely annihilate the 9th and 19th Soviet tank armies.
