German Army Group Center was always on the offensive front, and behind them, in fact, there was a unit that was not under the command of Rundstedt.

The unit was well-armed and had two armored battalions of Leopard tanks, 501 and 504, as well as an armored division and a mechanized infantry division.

In addition, relying on railway transportation, the infantry of this army also walked very fast, and they kept following behind Army Group Center, maintaining their physical strength and fighting spirit.

Strictly speaking, this unit was not yet considered a reserve for Army Group Center, since Rundstedt had its own reserves.

Therefore, this army can be regarded as a foreshadowing of the Führer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strange army hidden behind.

Moreover, as the head of Germany, Li Le, a 21st century traverser of Li Daitao, also chose a commander for this army.

Walking out of Rundstedt's house, the general covered his eyes with his hands and looked up at the sky overhead.

With good weather and enough air support, it's definitely a good time to attack. Nodding, he walked to his car satisfied.

His name was Erich von Lewinsky, and few people had probably heard of the name. But he had an even better name: Fritz Erich von Manstein.

"Stand upright!" Seeing his general walk out of the marshal's headquarters, the guards guarding next to the car hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Victory!" Monarch! ”

As a general who inherited the title of nobility from his adoptive father, Manstein should be considered a member of the Junker aristocratic officers.

But as a general who was discovered by the Führer, he is also branded with the label of the Führer's faction that cannot be erased.

After victory after victory for the Führer, after the Führer was more powerful than in history, Manstein made the choice to turn himself into a hardcore supporter of the Führer.

This decision allowed him to gain a great deal of power and also made him a front-line commander of the Führer.

The armament provided to Manstein's troops was the best, he had twice as many organ rocket launchers, and more than half of the tanks were new Leopards.

"The order of the Supreme High Command has arrived...... Attack Vitebsk! He walked over to his car and said to the adjutant who was standing there.

"Is it finally our turn? What a good thing! Checkmate. The adjutant said with a smile as he opened the door for him.

"Yes! The Soviets stubbornly won us the opportunity to go to war, and we could not fail the Führer. Manstein got into the car and said with a smile to his lieutenant.

His car is a Mercedes-Benz Motors company's latest field general-specific off-road car, which is much more low-key than the original general's convertible.

This kind of car is boxy and not aesthetically pleasing. However, it offers good visibility and better ballistic performance than a convertible car.

And there's plenty of room to fit a radio station and up to 6 people. What's more, it's a mass-produced car.

Li Le was very reluctant to engage in some unnecessary specialities, and he believed that those flashy cars were not as suitable for Germany as the cheap ones of the mass-produced type.

The Führer stubbornly believed that if he wanted to show off, he should go back to the rear to show off, and in Berlin he prepared a lot of luxury cars for the triumphant generals.

But on the front line, the commander should have the appearance of a commander - not to mention sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, at least not showing off specialization, right?

Therefore, he prepared a mass-produced command vehicle with better off-road performance for the front-line commanders, unifying the basic configuration of the front-line commanders.

Who can know that this kind of car from the marshal general, because the production is dozens of times higher than that of luxury cars, has been popularized to the level of most regimental commanders and battalion commanders?

……

Wolf**, Li Le, who had just returned from Bavaria, looked at Marshal Brauchitsch who was reporting to him on the situation at the front with a tired look.

"My Führer, General Manstein, has been ordered to begin the assault on the ...... Our wonder soldier is now on the field. Brauchitsch said to Li Le with a hint of regret.

As an elite team similar to the general reserve team, Manstein's appearance made Brauchitsch a little reluctant. If this force could be saved for the Battle of Moscow, it could be the final word.

It is a pity that man is not as good as heaven, and no war can be carried out exactly according to the best advance preparations.

The enemy also has brains, and even if they fall into a disadvantage, they are struggling as much as possible, unwilling to accept the fate of defeat.

"There is nothing to be sorry for, my marshal!" Li Le wiped his face with a handkerchief and explained: "All the troops are ready to be used when needed. ”

"If you don't use it, no matter how elite the troops are, they're just decorations." After wiping his face, Li Le's spirit recovered a lot, and he continued: "Isn't the reason why you chose Vitebsk to let Manstein gnaw a soft bone? ”

Compared to Mogilev, who was strong and well prepared, Vitebsk was obviously not so strong.

The difficulty of attacking there is definitely more than twice as easy as attacking Mogilev. Of course, this is without taking into account the commander Rokossovsky.

Although Li Le could foresee, he could no longer accurately control the identity of the commander of the Soviet army.

Because he had already turned history beyond recognition, he did not know that Rokossovsky had already gone into battle.

"Without waiting for Manstein to take Vitebsk, Guderian should be able to advance in the direction of Smolensk." Brauchitsch was still eager to hurry.

Hearing what his marshal said, Li Le laughed: "My marshal, do you think Guderian will honestly stop and wait for the battle situation on both flanks?" ”

Brauchitsch's words stunned Brauchitsch for a moment, and then he realized that these thorns were already accustomed to small movements on the front line during the French campaign.

The marshal sighed helplessly and squeezed out a smile: "My Führer, you are right, I almost forgot that Guderian is the commander who likes 'reconnaissance' the most." ”

When he said that he was conducting reconnaissance before the attack, he obviously had a hint of ridicule. After all, it was not reconnaissance at all, but a sudden attack by a small number of troops.

"We are running out of time, we have to hurry up...... Li Le agrees with this bold attack: "Let them play freely!" ”
