Chapter 211: Stalin's Roar

After the warm atmosphere passed, Chen Yanlong also landed on the famous battleship Tirpitz in history and spent the night there. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Spending the night on this battleship, which has a strong power in the middle and close combat distances, is something that Chen Yanlong has always wanted to try since he crossed over.

In later life, he always wanted to see what the famous battleship Tirpitz looked like during World War II.

The main gun of the "Tirpitz" was 4 double-mounted guns of SKC3452 times caliber 38cm, and the armor-piercing shells of the main guns used "high muzzle velocity light shells", which was the highest level of battleships of the same period.

And it also has 16 105 mm (4 inch class) naval guns, 16 37 mm guns, 12 20 mm anti-aircraft guns; and 12 152 mm 55 x (6 inch) naval guns, and 8 380 mm 52x (15 inch) guns.

Looking at the dazzling array of anti-aircraft guns and naval guns, Chen Yanlong also felt a sense of security, admiring this domineering battleship.

At the same time, he also measured in his heart the troops he had now deployed to the Eastern Front and the Western Front.

At the time of the Soviet army's large-scale counterattack, the strength of troops on the Eastern Front was about 200 divisions and 7 German brigades; and other axes, as well as 40 divisions of the client state, plus 20 brigades.

As for the Western Front, Chen Yanlong dispatched 70 divisions and 2 brigades to Guderian to defend and counterattack the troops of Britain and the United States and other allies; In addition to this, he allocated Rommel 37 divisions and 3 brigades to prepare for the Italian station.

Of course, this is his temporary troop deployment, and he also plans to gather 1.5 million troops in Germany to carry out a home defense war.

In particular, he planned to have at least 600,000 troops to defend the city of Berlin and the surrounding areas.

As for these troops, he is pulling them out from the German troops overseas, as well as from the 5 million troops on the Eastern Front; And with the newly recruited eggs.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Chen Yanlong fell into deep thought.

And at this time in the Kremlin, Stalin was smoking a pipe while staring at Marshal Vasilevsky and Zhukov.

Since the last time the 13th Army Group was heavily damaged by the German troops dispatched by Chen Yanlong, he had not been so upset and irritable.

Although Marshal Rokossovsky had already reported to him last time, the German army did not know why many advanced new weapons and equipment suddenly appeared, and these weapons and equipment were still large in number and powerful; The Soviets suffered heavy casualties under their attacks and many soldiers.

As for Marshal Rokossovsky's urgent report, he did not pay much attention to it at the beginning.

But now in the face of Vasilevsky, and Zhukov hurried to report overnight, then he had to pay close attention to it.

Because this time his troops suffered a large number of casualties, if he did not seriously deal with the new weapons and equipment of the German army now, I am afraid that if he wanted to launch a large-scale counterattack, he would take out his own troops and send them to death.

"Are you telling the truth? Did the Germans really dispatch a large number of new types of weapons and equipment? And not the ones from last time? ”

Stalin irritably took a few puffs of his cigarette, then stared at Marshal Vasilevsky and said anxiously.

"Yes! Comrade Stalin! Our large-scale counterattack this time was once again defeated by the advanced weapons and equipment of the German army! ”

Marshal Vasilevsky plucked up the courage to reply.

"What the hell is our intelligence department eating! Why did the Germans suddenly have so many advanced weapons and equipment, they didn't hear at all, and they didn't receive any news! ”

"What are the other intelligence agencies in Britain and the United States doing, even they are such a wreck?"

Hearing this, Stalin roared angrily.

"I think we're going to send someone to our intelligence department to investigate! Otherwise, in our next combat operation, we will be caught off guard by the new weapons and equipment that the Germans will surprise us, and we will suffer heavy casualties! ”

Marshal Vasilevsky proposed worriedly.

"I'll take care of it over there with the intelligence department! But what I want to know now is that our artillery deployment has exceeded 50 percent of the German army? And don't our planes and tanks also surpass them by one hundred and twenty percent? ”

"Don't we have powerful armored units, and mechanized units, as well as a powerful Katyusha rocket artillery team? And don't we still have a million guerrillas in enemy-occupied areas to assist you in your operations? How did we end up so vulnerable, and were easily defeated by the Germans in two large-scale assault battles? ”

"Isn't our modern troops, which are powerful and have rich combat experience, have high morale? The more you fight, the more courageous, and unstoppable? ”

"Don't we now have the right time, the right people, and these favorable conditions for combat? Didn't our Anglo-American allies replenish us with a steady stream of military supplies? ”

After listening to this, Stalin was still angry and kept asking rhetorical questions.

In this regard, Marshal Vasilevsky, and Zhukov could only look at each other, then sighed and fell silent.

At this moment, the two of them also did not know for a while how to answer Stalin's series of rhetorical questions.

"Tell me, what exactly are our casualties and losses this time? I want real data! ”

Looking at Marshal Vasilevsky, who bowed his head and was silent, Stalin said loudly.

"We suffered about 130,000 casualties, 2,300 artillery pieces, 400 tanks, 6,000 cars, 80 warehouses, and thousands of machine guns, mortars, trucks, etc."

In response to Stalin's aggressive questioning, Marshal Vasilevsky confessed in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong with all of you? Why did you lose so many troops and weapons and equipment for me! ”

After listening, Stalin tried his best to restrain his anger and roared loudly.

"I'm sorry! Comrade Stalin, please punish me! It's all my fault! Because I didn't expect that the Germans would once again send out large-scale new weapons and equipment to surprise us! ”

In this embarrassing atmosphere, Zhukov suddenly stood up to act as a shield for Marshal Vasilevsky.

"Humph! I'm going to punish you two! How else can you give an explanation to those sacrificed soldiers! But what I have to do now is to immediately investigate what the new weapons and equipment of the German army are; And where they are produced, and in what quantities, where they are stored! ”

After glancing at Zhukov, Stalin took a few more puffs of his cigarette and said in a foggy voice.

"Yes! Comrade Stalin! ”

As soon as the words fell, Marshal Vasilevsky and Zhukov hurriedly echoed.

But at this moment, Stalin did not respond to their words, but went to the glass window of his room; Looking out into the gloomy sky, he frowned deeply and stared away.
