Chapter 431: The Hidden Knife
Therefore, Germany has made a contribution to the whole of mankind, regardless of whether this contribution is caused by altruistic consequences, history is history, and what we have to do is to face history correctly.
……
When Li Mo received the "Typhoon Plan" signed by Hitler himself, he directly shouted and cursed at his command post:
"Those grandsons of the Command, aren't you un,......easy if you don't cheat Lao Tzu?"
"My commander-in-chief, come and have a cup of tea, and let's discuss how to carry out the Führer's typhoon plan."
"Hey, my deputy commander-in-chief, I know that this plan was approved by the Führer, and I am also in favor of launching the Moscow campaign now, but the gang of grandsons in the high command made such a big plan without consulting us, so they transferred all of our Army Group South to the direction of Moscow, and what about the south we occupy, what about Ukraine, can they stop the Soviet army's large-scale counteroffensive? They can't stop it, what about our 120,000 troops in Orsk, once we turn around and go north to Moscow, and want to come to Orsk within three months, it is completely impossible, should we completely abandon the 100,000 SS troops? We can't do anything. ”
"My commander-in-chief, I know that now the Führer's sudden decision on this typhoon campaign plan is undoubtedly a very correct decision for the entire Barbarossa plan, the sooner we take Moscow, the better it will be for us, the intersection of all the railways of the Soviet army is in Moscow, as long as we take Moscow, the railways in the European part of the Soviet Union will be basically paralyzed, so I think that even if we have sacrifices, we should carry out the campaign plan approved by the Führer."
Bock's suggestion is certainly reasonable, and the plan approved by Hitler must also be carried out, which is a few months earlier than the Battle of Moscow, which was launched several months earlier in history, and it is impossible for the Soviet Union to save them from the harsh winter that came early, because Limer launched the "Barbarossa Plan" in advance. Some big changes began to take place, the first was the German army's plan to launch a typhoon several months in advance, which was of course a change in Germany's favor. In addition, Britain, France, and the United States also formed an alliance in advance and vigorously supported the Soviet Union.
In fact, Li Mo's butterfly wings. There is a bigger hidden danger, that is, now the United States sent troops to Britain earlier than in history, the United States is the super boss of World War II, once the United States and Britain jointly land in France, it is very close to the Ruhr industrial area and other cities in Germany, if Britain, France and the United States suddenly stab Germany, it is really uncomfortable for Germany, it can be said that Britain's Anglo-American-French coalition army. It's a sharp knife hidden under Germany's belly, and I don't know when it will stab Germany.
"I know, my deputy commander-in-chief, I want to think about it alone, and you also think about what we should do, and tomorrow morning, we will discuss it in detail."
Moscow, as the capital of the Soviet Union, had a large population, huge material reserves, numerous factories. With a railway system extending in all directions, it is impossible to completely cut off Moscow's supplies except for our complete encirclement of Moscow.
In addition, because of the Finnish behavior of riding on the wall. There was no cutting off the connection between the northern ports of the Soviet Union and Moscow, so that British, French, and American aid would flow into Moscow in a steady stream, and with weapons Moscow could easily arm a militia and regular army of millions of people, and now the total strength of the regular army in Moscow is not less than three million, and only God knows how much it will be by then.
These are not the most important things, we and the USSR are fighting face to face, it can be seen and touched, and behind the back of Germany. But there were several sharp steel knives, aimed at the German abdomen. Be ready to poke down at any time. ”
If I were the commander of the Anglo-French forces, I would have chosen the time when Germany was fighting under Moscow. A sudden attack on Germany and a large number of planes to bomb Germany's industrial areas would reduce Germany's war potential by more than 50 percent. ”
Li Mo came to his study, first made himself a cup of strong tea, and began to think about how to solve the current crisis, before cracking it, Li Mo first needed to recall why the typhoon plan in history failed, and now although there is no severe winter, there is an extra knife of the British, American and French alliance. It is already May, and it will take at least a month for the Commander's Command to replenish the weapons and ammunition lost and consumed, and it will already be the beginning of July at that time, and this year's Moscow will be particularly cold in October, and the German * team can take Moscow, which is supported by Britain, France, and the United States within three months, and at the same time has a large number of soldiers and strong defenses.
What Li Mo can be sure of is that Germany will never take Moscow in three months, this is the center of Stalin's rule, Stalin's ruling foundation is very strong, so strong that every Moscow citizen will fight to the death for Stalin, once the war drags into the harsh winter, 80% of Germany's troops fall into the ice and snow of the Soviet Union, what can Germany do to stop the attack of Britain, France and the United States?
Li Mo did not come up with a way for the time being, how to solve the crisis of the two-sided war that Germany was about to face, this was a major matter related to the life and death of Germany, since Li Mo could not think of a way, he began to carefully recall why the typhoon plan in history failed, and then came up with an alternative way from it.
The Battle of Typhoon was the first defeat suffered by the Germans during World War II, and the first time that the German army was forced to stop the offensive since the implementation of the German blitzkrieg in World War II. Many military strategists, especially the Soviet Union experts on World War II, attributed the victory to Stalin's wise commander, Zhukov's outstanding commanding talent, and the bravery of the Soviet army, and always ridiculed that "the German army stopped attacking because of the weather".
Now, let's take a look at how much the weather affected the German army:
On June 30, 1941, Field Marshal von Murray. Bauk's central cluster, codenamed "Typhoon" on Hitler's orders, concentrated 74 divisions, 1.48 million men, 1,700 tanks and artillery pieces, 1,360 aircraft, and more than 14,000 artillery pieces and mortars to attack Moscow from the southern flank.
There were 3 fronts that served as the close defense of Moscow: the Western Front, commanded by General Konev; The commander of the reserve front was Marshal Budyonny; The commander of the Bryansk Front was Lieutenant-General Shryomenko. As of the beginning of October, the combat units of the three fronts totaled about 1.25 million people, 0 tanks, 7,600 artillery pieces and mortars, and 677 aircraft. There were also 25 battalions of workers, a militia division of 120,000 men, 166 street fighting squads and hundreds of tank destroying squads, and about 450,000 people in the city took part in the construction of fortifications.
In the first two weeks of Operation Typhoon, Army Group Center wiped out nearly 700,000 Soviet troops, and the Germans suffered very little losses in comparison. The ratio of German and Soviet casualties on the Eastern Front was about 1:10, which means that the German army suffered more than 70,000 casualties at most.
