Chapter 2028 Who is responsible

Late at night on the 29th, in Beirut in the Mediterranean Sea in southern West Asia, in a jungle-clad village in Mount Lebanon on the eastern outskirts of West Asia, German officers came and went in a hurry, their faces full of worry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A brick and stone bungalow in the middle of the village, heavily guarded, and all kinds of telephone lines are densely drawn out of the house, which is where the headquarters of the Middle East Army, which commands more than two million German troops, is located.

The commander, Field Marshal Rundstedt, stood in front of the large map of West Asia, his brows furrowed, and his eyes turned to follow the red and black flags representing the Chinese and German sides that the staff officers of the headquarters under the command of Colonel Winter, the chief of command, constantly marked on the map. Admiral Joordenstern:

"Judging from the feedback from various places and the order of the loss of contact, it is likely that something is wrong with the north wing...... With the depth of the battlefield and the number of troops there, if the An Jiajun could easily break through in just one afternoon, I really can't think of anything to defend against the opponent we faced......"

Admiral Jodenstern's face was very bad: "Yes, not only has the border fortification area on the northern flank lost contact, but even Hasakah and Qamishli in the rear have not moved. According to the analysis of various situations, the enemy must have dispatched highly mobile paratroopers, and in addition to the ubiquitous sabotage troops that the enemy had dropped into our heart, the entire battlefield situation is likely to be completely out of control. ”

Colonel Claicamp, Chief of the Reconnaissance and Espionage Division, strode in, with a telephone record in his hand, came to the commander and chief of staff in front of the map, and said loudly:

"There's news...... According to the report of the rout troops who retreated to Jizre, Idir and other places in Turkey, in the afternoon they were attacked by the powerful mechanized army of the Anjia Army, and the other side not only had advanced tanks, but also a large number of bombers and helicopters hovering in mid-air at any time, a large number of troops were divided and surrounded, and fighting was still going on in many areas......

"In addition, in the evening, the city of Nusaybin in the north of Qamishli was attacked, and the garrisons of Ouz and Seyutlu, which were rescued by the Turkish cluster, were repulsed, and we can basically infer that the city of Qamishli, which is the logistics center of the northern front, has fallen into the hands of the squadron!"

Although his heart was full of worry and doubt, it was confirmed at this moment that Rundstedt still felt that the sky was falling apart, and he lost his eyes and muttered to himself: "How is this possible? That's nearly 400,000 troops......"

The commander of the guard unit, who had been silent until now, von . Infantry General Rotskwes asked: "The commander of the Turkish cluster, who has set up his headquarters in Erzurum, von Roskoys. Did Marshal Loeb make any moves? There are four armies under his command to maneuver, and Nusaibin City can be regarded as his defense area, so he can't turn a blind eye! ”

Colonel Klaikamp shook his head: "The Turkish cluster has no new intentions for the time being, but it is the Caucasian cluster, after the hard attack on the Kara River valley and the Astara line on the west bank of the Caspian Sea, has quietly withdrawn its troops to the north bank of the Aras River and the Kura River, and built fortifications according to the river. Keep in mind

"Our intelligence department deduced that after the entire Second Army and the two motorized armies of the Third Panzer Group were transferred south, von . . . Marshal Bauk was no longer confident of completing the scheduled combat mission, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, he took the initiative to end the fighting on the Northern Front. At the same time, this move also means that it will wait for an opportunity depending on the effectiveness of the 'Iron Hammer' plan. ”

Marshal Rundstedt recovered his spirit slightly, nodded and said:

"Feng. Marshal Bauk is worthy of being known as the "Holy Flame of the Kuszgulin", his sense of smell on the battlefield is very keen, it is estimated that through this period of time, the cities, ports and barracks in the Caucasus region have been continuously attacked by the air force of the Anjia Army, he has a premonition that the situation is not good, and is preparing to preserve the vitality of the imperial army! ”

At this point, Rundstedt barely perked up: "I'll go and talk to von now. Marshal Loeb spoke on the phone...... At this point, it is time to prepare for defeat, otherwise let the Chinese break through individually, not only Turkey will not be able to keep it, but even the Balkans and Ukraine are in danger! ”

Feng. Infantry Admiral Rodskwes asked with some anxiety:

"And what about the Eastern Front, which we are in charge of now? Although it is said that the eastern and southeastern clusters that carry out the 'Iron Hammer' plan are already very auspicious, the two marshals Bloomberg and Manstein are still wedged along the entire front, and once the northern flank is lost, there will be two million imperial elites trapped in the encirclement of the squadron!

"Also, now that there are problems on the northern flank of the front, what about the southern flank? Compared with the northern flank, the Euphrates defense line has only three more divisions and a total strength of 450,000 troops, and if this line is broken by the squadron again, our defense line will be completely torn apart by the Chinese, and the various armies will fall into the dilemma of fighting their own battles, and the situation will be even more dangerous than now under the current situation of losing air supremacy! ”

Rundstedt stopped, thought about it seriously, and suddenly said: "Didn't the high command already issue a battle plan for the evacuation of all fronts at a critical moment?" Now that the situation has reached the most dangerous point, it's time to start! ”

Feng. Admiral Jodenstern was shocked and asked, "Marshal, have you really decided to completely abandon the Middle East?" If so, you're likely to be fully responsible for the entire defeat! ”

Rundstedt smiled bitterly:

"Since the outbreak of the war on the Eastern Front, almost every step of our action has fallen into the calculations of the Chinese, not to mention anything else, that is, the hateful airship above our heads that emits interference radio waves and we have nothing to do with it, and the direct consequence of this is that we use the weapons and equipment of the 20th century, but use the means of communication and contact of the last century, what kind of confused war we fought!

"With the loss of air supremacy and communication, as well as the endless new tactics and new weapons of the other side, especially the terrible incendiary bombs that explode and emit huge mushroom clouds and a dozen large patches, this battle can no longer be sustained...... It's up to me to carry the black pot, and I'm going to send the outstanding young people of Germany back to the rear safely! ”

At this point, before returning to the map, Rundstedt took his baton and pointed to the railway and road lines connecting the Euphrates and Tigris, saying:

"After Chinese capture of Qamishli and Hasakah, the next target will definitely be the city of Weinanai on the north bank of the Euphrates, directly cutting off our east-west railway line, and at the same time, Deir ez-Zor on the south bank of the river is a famous road and water transportation hub, Chinese will definitely not let it go easily, with their endless means of attack, I expect that there will be big trouble on this line by noon tomorrow at the latest......

"I have decided to send heavy troops to defend the railway line along the north bank of the river, and at the same time to abandon the border fortified areas on the southern flank step by step, and withdraw the troops to Aleppo by rail and road! In the end, the Zalmut cluster on the first line of the Syrian desert, nailed there was no longer any point, and I decided to let them take advantage of the darkness and retreat to Damascus. In this way, we can save our strength to the maximum! ”

Feng. Jordendern said worriedly, "But...... On the west bank of the Sersar, there are still almost two million troops, and if we withdraw first, how will the Führer explain there? ”

"The brave wins!"

Rundstedt said categorically: "Although it is not possible to contact the two marshals Bloomberg and Manstein by radio at present, the problem can be solved by airlift, and I will inform Alexander of the Fourth Air Force later. General Lehr asked him to frequently send fighter jets and reconnaissance planes to the west bank of the Celsar River to disrupt the judgment of the Chinese Air Force, and then sent some transport planes to airdrop paratroopers to deliver information.

"As long as one officer and soldier can deliver the letter, I believe the two marshals will make a clear judgment. I estimate that there are less than 1.5 million troops left in the 2 million army now, how can you run out half of them, right? ”

Feng. Jordendon Stern and von. Rodskwes looked at each other, then nodded silently.

On the north shore of Lake Gadisiye under the cover of night, the final battle of the An Jiajun against the Paulus cluster is about to be launched.

After five days and five nights of continuous fighting, the main forces of the three armies under the command of the Paulus cluster, with a total strength of less than 200,000 men, were surrounded by Anjia troops rushing from all directions in an area of 20 kilometers from the towns of um Fitul and Melehai.

Originally, according to the plan, in order to reduce the casualties of officers and men, and to drag the Bloomberg cluster in the north, the German troops on this line were not busy destroying it for the time being, but today the situation in the northern section of the front has changed drastically, and the whole situation has changed radically, and the general attack on the southern flank will also be launched early tomorrow morning.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, all the loudspeakers on all fronts issued a shocking slogan: "All for the Chinese nation!" ”

Following this slogan, more than 3,000 artillery pieces and mortars on the rear artillery positions of the Anjia Army opened fire almost simultaneously, and the powerful air currents rolled up the dust on the artillery positions, rolling and swirling, just like a reckless yellow dragon, and the beams of fire spewed out from the muzzles of the artillery reflected the surrounding sky in red.

Where the shells fell, damp mud and pieces of wood flew in all directions, and gunsmoke and flying sand mixed into a gray curtain.

At half past eleven, as the barrage advanced into the depths, a loud charge horn sounded, and all the wilderness was filled with the shouts of officers and soldiers of Anjia.

Although the fighters of the Anjia Air Force were inconvenient to dispatch at night, the helicopter gunships did not have this problem, they covered the dense density of tanks and armored vehicles at low altitude, and charged at the front line held by the Germans with the headlights of all the trucks in the rear open.

"Boom-"

The two towns in chaos behind the battle line, with the explosion of shells on the periphery of the town, the windows and glasses of the buildings still some distance from the front-line battlefield were broken, and the ground trembled violently, through the bones and meridians, and quickly transmitted to the heart, so that the German officers and soldiers who had encountered continuous hard battles felt that they were about to fall into a desperate situation of cardiac arrest.

In the basement of a small two-story building in the center of the town of Melehai, the large room outside was filled with telephones, suitcases, weapons and ammunition, and the radio station that became an ornament, and the officers and soldiers who came and went were frightened and sensitive to the noise on the ground. In one of the rooms, against the wall, there was a marching bed, covered with a blanket, and Admiral Paulus sat silently wrapped in his military coat and with his hands on his cheeks.

Fifty-two-year-old Paulus was tormented by stomach problems caused by his long-term irregular diet, and he was even more disheartened by the current battle situation, and he knew exactly what the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing outside meant to his troops. After continuous fighting, the troops' food, weapons and ammunition have run out, and it is impossible to fight a complete battle, so should they let their officers and soldiers deal with those steel giants on the opposite side with their bare hands?

Lieutenant General Schmidt, the chief of staff, pushed open the door and walked in, handed a phone record paper to Paulus, Paulus did not look up, slowly took it and looked at it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As I expected, the first line of defense, which concentrated all the weapons and ammunition, was captured in less than a quarter of an hour!" ”

Schmidt asked very nervously, "What should we do now?" ”

Paulus still didn't look up, threw away the telephone record paper, and said weakly: "While the Chinese has not cut the telephone line, prepare the white flag...... Notify the troops to destroy all radio stations! Tell the officers and soldiers below that all the responsibility is up to me! ”

At one o'clock in the morning, the Paulus cluster surrendered unconditionally.
