Chapter 263: The Battle Concept of the City Fortress is in progress

It is a pity that no matter how fierce Churchill's gaze is, all the high-ranking officers of the Intelligence Service in his room; They all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak more, and they didn't even dare to breathe more, so they lowered their heads and were silent. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Good! Very good! Since you are not willing to speak, I will give you two weeks; If you don't have the means to find out about Hitler's new weaponry, then you don't have to stay in the intelligence service! I don't need to be a wreck! ”

Seeing that no one came out to respond, Churchill immediately roared furiously.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here for me! I don't want to see you guys who are so incompetent! ”

Before anyone else could speak, Churchill roared again in a rage.

Seeing an enraged Churchill, everyone obediently left his room and quickly launched a reconnaissance operation.

Because none of them wanted to be fired from the intelligence service by Churchill two weeks later.

At this time, on the eastern route, the special train that Manstein was sitting on was heading towards the station in Vinnitsa.

Inside the office carriages, Field Marshal Manstein, General Busse, and Scholz? Colonel Bitgger and his men were working on the evacuation map.

And the herald, Lieutenant Stahlberg, took folders of reports and telegrams, which were placed in front of them one by one according to Manstein's orders.

Through the situation map and various reconnaissance reports on the front line, Manstein and the others could see that the large-scale combat operation of the Soviet army this time was stronger and more powerful than the previous ones.

"The units of the Soviet army in Kharkov and Belgorod and other places are gathering more and more! It seems that these Soviet troops want to engage in one more large-scale counterattack! I can't believe that the casualties we inflicted on them last two times were not deep enough! ”

After reading the battle reports on the front line, General Buse said as if he was a little eager to do something.

"What a pity! If it weren't for the Führer telling us to retreat, I would have really wanted to teach these Soviet troops another profound lesson! ”

Schultz? Colonel Bitgar also said unwillingly.

"It's easy to say! Even if the Führer does not let us retreat, even if we are given the immediate opportunity to confront these strong and strong Soviet troops who are constantly accumulating, I am afraid that we will not know who will be killed by then! ”

"And I believe that there will be more of us who will suffer by then! Because our current strength is simply not comparable to that of the Soviet army, and the new weapons and equipment that the Führer gave us in the last battle have also consumed a lot! Now it's simply not replenished! ”

"So don't stand and talk, you don't feel any back pain!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Manstein interrupted them.

"But it's not our style to run away without a fight!"

In this regard, Schultz? Colonel Bitgar said embarrassedly.

"Hey! We've had a couple of big wins lately! So you think our Führer will be the kind of character who is bullied and doesn't fight back? ”

When Manstein heard this, instead of being angry, he asked with a smile.

"Having said that, I still don't understand why Yuan wants us to evacuate the other party so far away?"

Schultz? Colonel Bitgar said awkwardly.

"That's right! I don't know why! Why did we retreat to Königsberg? ”

General Bussey was also puzzled.

"You ask me, and I don't know what the Führer is going to do! But I can only say that everything is subject to the Führer's orders! I'm sure he won't be a weak master! ”

Manstein shrugged his shoulders and smiled mildly.

"You're right! That's all we can do now! Or when we get to Königsberg, we know what's going on there! ”

General Bussey also shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"That's right! Did Moder, like us, retreat to Königsberg? ”

But Scholz? Colonel Bitgger suddenly remembered.

"The retreat route of him and his troops was ordered by the Führer himself! I don't know either! The Führer didn't say that to us either! ”

Manstein frowned when he heard this.

"There is no way! Now they have been promoted to marshal! And he is very important to the Führer, and there is really no need for us to know his actions! ”

Schultz? Colonel Bitgar sighed and said enviously.

"Hahaha! Since you are so envious of others, then you should also hug the Führer's thigh, maybe the next marshal will be you! ”

See Schultz? Colonel Bitggar's envious gaze, General Bussey suddenly quipped.

"Hey! I want to too! It's a pity that I don't have the qualifications to approach the Führer yet! This kind of good fortune is still reserved for those who know how to shoot horses! ”

Schultz? Colonel Bitgger retorted.

"That's it! Stop talking these nonsense words, you two, our train is almost there! Let's prepare well and wait for how we will arrange for our troops to be stationed in Königsberg! ”

Seeing General Busse, who was starting to spark, Manstein immediately interjected.

Seeing Manstein's meddling interference, General Busse and Scholz? Colonel Bittgel stopped joking, quieted down, and discussed business with Manstein.

In fact, while Manstein and the others were leading the troops to Königsberg, Chen Yanlong was also ordering the troops to send more than 20,000 cannons and mortars; 4,000 tanks and artillery pieces, as well as more than 3,000 aircraft and other weapons and equipment, were transported from Berlin to Königsberg in batches.

At the same time, the concept of "city fortresses" was still in full swing in Königsberg, the concept of the German army defending major cities and transport hubs even in the face of siege.

For this reason, Chen Yanlong continued to order the German high command so that Königsberg could have a long-term defensive combat capability even under the conditions of complete isolation.

Therefore, the city of Königsberg not only has a complete underground factory, an arsenal, but also a storage warehouse for military supplies and weapons and equipment.

Moreover, the defense system of the fortress there is composed of an outer defensive enclosure and three positions.

The first line of positions was 6-8 km from the city center and consisted of 8 trenches with communication trenches and a large number of anti-tank obstacles, as well as almost 20 old forts and other fortifications.

The second line of positions was constructed on the outskirts of the city and consisted of a large number of defensive structures, barricades at intersections, permanent firing points, and a large number of mined areas.

The third line of positions was built along the old city boundary and was built on the basis of about 10 old-fashioned forts.

Now in Königsberg, Chen Yanlong has deployed four infantry divisions, 3,000 artillery pieces and mortars, and 300 tanks and assault artillery to station.

Of course, these infantry divisions stationed now were all drawn from the Wehrmacht reserves, and there were a lot of recruits, and they were not Manstein's troops.

In addition to these troops, Chen Yanlong is also ordering the German high command to send more than 200,000 Hungarian troops here to assist in the battle.
