"Sir! The Führer calls from the Prime Minister's Office for you to answer! ”

Just when Himmler was puzzled, an SS member came to his side and made a report. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The call was made to Chen Yanlong, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Office.

It's just that Chen Yanlong's call temporarily dispelled Himmler's doubts.

"Führer! What's the matter? I've heard that you're personally leading people to capture Canaris! ”

As soon as Chen Yanlong's phone was connected, Himmler immediately said in a tentative tone.

"Hmmm! Yes! Because I can't wait, you're moving too slowly, Himmler! Operation Bastion is just a few days away, and I'm going to the front on the Eastern Front tomorrow! So I'm doing this today to give you a reminder that I hope you can speed up the collection of evidence and arrest the traitors in the list of traitors I gave you! ”

Chen Yanlong got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

"Ahh This, this ......"

Hearing this, Himmler was organizing his rhetoric for a while, and he was rambling and talking.

"What's the matter, do you have an opinion? Or do you not want to do it? If it were, I'd find someone else to do it! ”

Hearing Himmler's hesitant tone, Chen Yanlong said angrily without the slightest patience.

"Nope! Monarch! I'll get the job done! ”

Hearing Chen Yanlong's anger, Himmler immediately responded loudly and affirmatively.

"Don't let me down, I want to see you resolutely, during my inspection of the front of the Eastern Front; Arrest all those traitors for me, and wait for my fate! ”

Chen Yanlong said in a slightly gentler tone.

"Yes! Monarch! I won't let you down! ”

"Good! Come on! After getting rid of these traitors, I will reward you well! ”

Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you! Monarch! ”

Himmler thanked.

Then, the two of them chatted a few more words, hung up the phone with each other, and went their separate ways.

At this time, the Soviet army also used various channels and sources of intelligence agencies; Knowing that Chen Yanlong ordered Manstein to launch an offensive on the fortress a week later.

Soviet intelligence sources, including captured German troops, photographs taken by Soviet air force reconnaissance, and German radios that were monitored; and rear partisans, as well as reports on the presence of Soviet troops in European institutions.

At the same time, the British military also carried out the fire at this time; Crack them to the top secrets transmitted by the German Ennyima's cipher machine; And through a decryption method called "invincible", it was given to the military in Moscow as quickly as possible.

That is to say, all the actions of the German army at this moment are completely translucent in the eyes of the British, American and Soviet armies.

When Comrade Stalin learned that the Germans were about to conduct a large-scale military operation on the Eastern Front, he immediately sent the news to the generals at all levels.

At the same time, General Zhukov, the current highest-ranking deputy commander of the Soviet Army, was asked to carry out combat deployment.

Upon receiving orders and news, Zhukov immediately took all the officers and officers under his command; Urgently convened for discussion.

After a round of heated and heated debates, the Soviet top brass finally followed Zhukov's final method of warfare.

That is, it is not intended to give the Germans a heavy attack and a blow.

On the contrary, their more consistent opinion is that they want to crush the German attack and consume the opponent's sharp spirit through a strong defense; and living forces, as well as clusters of tanks, and then use their reserves to make a big counteroffensive; Inflicting heavy losses on the main forces of the invading German army, as well as other troops, ended the Battle of the Fortress.

As for Zhukov's plan, Stalin, after some consideration, immediately agreed.

So Zhukov gave the order to take the troops led by General Konstantin; All were transferred to the northern half of the Kursk region and garrisoned for defense.

General Nikolai Vatutin and his troops were transferred to the south to defend themselves.

And just in case, a better defense effect can be achieved; Having received Stalin's consent again, Zhukov immediately ordered General Konstantin; and General Nikolai Vatutin, in the Siberian steppes; Arrange their troops in a ladder defensive array to defend against the German attack.

In particular, according to Soviet intelligence sources, the Germans were most likely to attack, and the defenses were carried out carefully and prudently.

There are two of these places, one is south of Orel and the other is north of Belgrade.

In addition, Zhukov attached great importance to the extremely complex anti-tank defense system, because of this deployment; It is related to whether the Soviet army can wipe out the German tank forces in the upcoming fortress operation.

To this end, the Soviet army mobilized a large number of soldiers to serve as engineers; On the lines they defended, hundreds of kilometers of trenches were dug and lines of communication; Their tanks, guns, motorcycles, and horses were covered, and even the bomb shelters were covered with thick roofs.

Even if a 150-millimeter bomb accidentally hits these ceilings, they will not be blown up.

And for the sake of more safety, Zhukov also ordered Rossewsky; and General Vatutin; In any case, it is necessary to keep several armoured corps for reserve; At the same time, it is necessary to increase the reserve troops behind these several reserves to prevent future troubles.

And the last reserve force is the strength that many people in later generations know; The Siberian steppe theater, which has rich combat experience, is also known as the Siberian Front Army.

The general of this elite unit, a general named Ivan Konev, commanded it.

Immediately after receiving Zhukov's order, he led the troops of the Siberian front, all the way along the Kursk Bulge Far East; Quickly spread out, dig trenches, deploy camouflage, and other military operations.

In particular, the Soviet army's new 76.2-mm anti-tank gun was deployed on a relatively large scale in various Soviet defensive positions.

Of course, at the same time as Zhukov gave these orders, the Soviets also took all the villages of Kursk; and the people of the tribe, all evacuated.

When Zhukov was in the Kursk front-line position, these pre-war operations were carried out in full swing; Stalin, who held his ground in the capital Moscow and took command; In order to allow the Germans to inflict even heavier losses in the battle of the fortress they launched themselves.

So he decided that the Soviet army had gathered 1.3 million troops, more than 20,000 artillery pieces, 3,400 tanks and more than 2,600 aircraft in the Kursk salient area; As well as 6000 anti-tank guns, 900 Katyusha rocket launchers.

If you add up the reserves of the Soviet army, then the total strength of the Soviet army is more than 2.64 million; In terms of armament, there are 52,500 artillery pieces and 8,200 tanks; There are also as many as 6,950 aircraft, and anti-tank guns, and Katyusha rocket artillery, have also tripled.

In the face of Stalin's big move, and the deployment that seemed to be going to fight for the family at one time, although Chen Yanlong was still in the dark.

However, as a fan of World War II, he also knew about the Soviet army in the Battle of Kursk in the historical materials of later generations and Baidu data; The general situation of the deployment of Soviet troops, and the deployment of defense.
