Smolensk was the gateway to Moscow, and in just one month, the German army reached the door of Moscow, shaking the entire Soviet Union. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Stalin was furious and ordered to hold Smolensk at all costs, to buy enough time to defend Moscow. At the same time, Stalin ordered to contact all the front-line troops who could be contacted, and ordered them to harass and threaten the flanks and rear security of the German army by various means.

Because the German Army Group Center in order to speed up the advance into Moscow, it basically followed the offensive line in a straight line, except for some large army groups, basically did not spend much energy to distract the Soviet troops on both sides of the offensive line.

Hitler was also worried about this problem, fearing that the troops would be too aggressive and would not wipe out the enemy along the way, and would be copied from the back.

However, Wei Qidong advised Hitler not to worry, these scattered Soviet troops can only pose a certain threat to the current German army group when they gather, and their communication system has been destroyed a lot, and the contact gathering is not a matter of one or two days.

As long as one or two hundred thousand troops are placed on both sides to form a horn momentum, it is enough to protect the offensive target of the central army group.

In order to better grasp the movements of the Soviet army, the German army used helicopter gunships for the first time, although there were only about 100 of them, and they were mainly used for reconnaissance and transportation, but they provided a lot of help to the German army. These helicopters were basically used by the Germans to the extreme, except for when the fuel was not enough to return to replenish, they were basically always in the sky, and the pilots were tired, so they immediately changed to other pilots.

Thanks to these helicopters, it was difficult for large Soviet forces to appear within 50 kilometers of the German army in silence.

These helicopters would also provide assistance in the event of a German attack, providing reconnaissance of Soviet firepower from the air to troops on the ground, and then providing accurate orientation and guidance.

Therefore, these hundreds of helicopters are like the eyes of the German army in the sky, allowing them to see more accurately and farther.

It was the cooperation of these helicopters that made the harassment of the Soviet army a lot more difficult.

Guderian and Army Group Center concentrated on launching rounds of attacks on Smolensk, and in order to give full play to the role of armor, the Germans did not bomb Smolensk indiscriminately, but only opened more than a dozen gaps on its west flank as if the troops were entering, just like the Chinese army attacked Tianjin.

After the armored units and mechanized units rushed into the city, they carried out fixed-point and purposeful bombardment of some targets, so that the enemy targets could be uprooted and the city would not be blown into ruins and the movement of the armored troops would not be affected.

At this time, the German army's heavy weaponry and advanced degree were much ahead of the Soviet army, and the combat quality of the German army and the coordination between various units were not comparable to the Soviet army.

After the attack on the city, several branches of the German army began to cooperate, the armor advanced in advance, and the targets that could be destroyed with armor were directly destroyed, and if they could not be destroyed in a short time, artillery was quickly transferred to bombard. And for some places that are hidden and poorly armored to advance and strike, send stormtroopers equipped with submachine guns to cover and rush to the front, and then use flamethrowers to solve them.

This tactic basically has no weaknesses, which makes the Soviet army very headache, and can only watch the German army advance step by step, and the Soviet army has also organized cluster charges again and again, but without exception it was suppressed by the German army, but suffered heavy losses.

When the German army and the Soviet army were in full swing in the Smolensk region, the Japanese army that had already invaded Siberia was even more impatient, and they saw that the German army launched a war against the Soviet Union later than them, but the speed of the advance was really terrifying, and it was the same as the Soviet army, why was the difference so big? The Japanese army could not stand it anymore and felt that it had lost the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, so they had to find a way to quickly expand the results of the war.

The Japanese army concluded that there were several main reasons why the German army advanced so fast, first of all, it was sudden, and the Soviet army was stunned without warning; The second point is that the force invested is large enough, and there are five million troops alone, which is more than ten times that of their Japanese army, not to mention planes, tanks, and the like, completely crushing their Japanese army.

The Japanese army also admired the German army's willingness to surrender its capital, and directly attacked the Soviet Union with the whole country, but they did not dare to invest, how could they have income? The Japanese were already a crazy race that dared to take risks, and now there is a good example of the Germans, and the Japanese base camp almost fanatically passed the resolution to unite the German army and carve up the Soviet Union, although the Germans did not bird them at all.

Not only did the Japanese army throw the main force of the Kwantung Army into attacking the Soviet Union at once, but also from the Japanese mainland, some of which were constantly forming new units, one from Korea through the northeast into the Soviet Union, and the other from Sakhalin Island from the eastern side of Siberia, and the Japanese Combined Fleet fought with the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet.

But it has to be said that Japan's combined fleet, in the Pacific region, is absolutely a hegemon, and the Soviet Pacific Fleet does not have an advantage at all.

The Japanese army suddenly invested so many forces to attack, which was indeed more unexpected than the Soviet army, and Stalin originally thought of concentrating the elite of the Far East to give the little devils a hard blow, and then beat them into fear, and then force the Japanese army out of the Soviet Union, and then mobilize the strength of the whole country to deal with the German attack.

But unexpectedly, when the little devil saw the speed of the German attack, his eyes were hot all of a sudden, and he began to take risks regardless of the danger. With the current strength of the Soviet army, it was completely incapable of driving either side out at once, and the Soviet Union finally had to face the two-front battle that they feared most.

Seeing that the Soviet Union was being besieged, Britain and France not only did not sympathize, but gloated on the sidelines, which made the situation of the Soviet Union even more difficult. The current situation in the Soviet Union is much more severe than what happened to them in the official history, and what is worse is that the Great Purge is still going on, which is really deadly.

It can be said that the current Soviet Union is in an embattled situation, and internal and external troubles are eroding them step by step.

In desperation, the Soviets secretly sent an ambassador to China and promised the Chinese side that as long as the Chinese army and the Soviet army wiped out the Japanese army in Siberia, the Soviet Union would return all the Chinese land plundered during the Manchu period to China.

Naturally, Chairman Chiang was very moved by such a promise from the Soviet Union, and if he could recover his homeland, he would be able to leave his name in history.

However, from Chairman Chiang's vision, he could also see that the Soviet Union was under pressure to take the opportunity to win over China to help them solve their urgent needs.

Chairman Chiang was not worried that they would regret it after China helped the Soviet army drive the little devils away, but in this way, there was nothing to offend the little devils, and the Germans would probably be unhappy, although they were not in the company of Japan, they certainly did not want to see the Chinese army help the Soviet army to deal with the Japanese, after all, the current actions of the Japanese army were completely beneficial to the German army.
