At the division headquarters, it was learned that Andrei, who had successfully recovered from the Central Railway Station, had put down the big stone in his heart, and unlike in history, it was an important fulcrum of the defense of Stalingrad, Mamayev Hill and the Central Railway Station were still under the control of the Soviet army, and the situation elsewhere was already terrible, the Germans still entered the city of Stalingrad from other directions, and the 107.5 heights two kilometers next to the Siberian Volunteer Division had been lost. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Heights 107.5 is located two kilometers west of Mamayev Heights, and is characterized by a gentle northern slope that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, while the southern slope is steep and difficult to defend. In other words, once the high ground is lost, the Soviet army will launch a counteroffensive from the direction of the southern slope, so it will be very difficult.

Moreover, the high ground itself is not large, and only one company of defenders can be placed on it at a time.

About a kilometer from the heights, there is Sovetskaya Street, and the nearby residential buildings are the family quarters of the State Consumer Cooperatives, and there is a flour mill nearby, and in the center of the mill there is a tall chimney, on which observation posts can be set up to monitor the movement of the enemy within a radius of several kilometers.

Andrei was very sad when he thought of the loss of this height, the value of this heights was indeed far less than that of Mamayev Hills, but now it had fallen into the hands of the Germans, and the Soviet Street was not far from the settlements defended by the 3rd Regiment.

Looking at the situation on the map, Andrei frowned.

And as far away as Moscow, whether it was the General Staff or the Lubyanka, the staff officers of the General Staff and the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were nervously watching and fiddling with the sand tables and documents of Stalingrad.

Now the situation in Stalingrad is affecting the nerves of the whole country, and in his office Beria is worried about the intelligence of the German special forces, and the news that the German army has reformed the special forces and strengthened it makes the Soviet side feel like a pins and needles now, you must know that if it were not for Andrey, the Soviet Union's special operations may not necessarily lead Germany.

Before the outbreak of the Second World War, at the end of 1938, at the request of the High Command of the German Armed Forces, the Second Division of the German Espionage Service began to recruit a special temporary detachment, the members of which were required to join voluntarily, and the recruitment of the personnel of this detachment was carried out in absolute secrecy, and their early activities remain a mystery to this day. This detachment was later known as the Brandenburg Army.

Given the hatred of the German generals for irregular forces, it is a miracle that the German army has produced special forces. As a matter of fact, the German officers regarded the military profession as incomparably mysterious and noble, and not only unanimously regarded the special war as a desecration of the military profession, but also an insult to their personal honor and even the honor of the country, and secretly wearing the enemy's military uniform was a kind of desecration of their own military uniform. The consequence of this attitude was that, in general, the German army did not produce personnel who were adept at conducting unconventional warfare.

But there was one exception, one of whom was Paul. Feng. Letovobeck, during World War I, was the commander of a colonial detachment in German East Africa. His small forces were clearly outnumbered by the number of the Entente forces, and in this case, Letovobek successfully used guerrilla tactics to trap a large number of British troops that could have been used in the European theater. This experience had a profound effect on one of his junior officers, Theodore. Feng. Captain Shipper - It was he who created what would become the Brandenburg Army. After World War I, he was assigned to the Second Division of the German Espionage Service, a military intelligence branch specializing in covert military operations.

He drew on the successful examples of irregular warfare in other countries and was convinced of the tremendous impact that informal warfare could make. His idea was to form a small detachment of a small number of good men to clear the way for the regular troops. Before launching an offensive or even before a formal declaration of war, these detachments can go deep behind enemy lines and occupy bridges, road crossings, and major communications facilities; They can spread disinformation, blow up supply warehouses, attack enemy headquarters, and, in general, cause chaos with a small number of people.

Thus the German special forces were born, and one of the prerequisites for joining the Brandenburg forces was to be fluent in at least one foreign language, and the fact that the recruited personnel could speak many foreign languages illustrated the ambitions of the Third Reich. It can be said that in all the countries of Europe, there is no Brandenburg player who is not familiar with it. The Brandenburg army recruited personnel who belonged to the German nationality and lived outside the Reich, and Germans living in Eastern Europe could speak Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, Ruthenian, and the dialects specific to those regions. Germans living on the Baltic coast speak Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Finnish and, of course, Russian. The other Brandenburgers came from such families, having colonized German territories in South America and Africa, and were fluent in the local dialect in addition to English, Spanish and Portuguese. Some of the Brandenburg team members speak as many as six languages, and a few even speak lesser-known languages such as Tibetan and Afghan.

Because of this, at the beginning of World War II, Germany's special forces dealt a severe blow to the Allies, and the SS also had its own special forces, but the situation changed after Andrei was born, and Unit A and the GRU used a lot of Andrei with the advanced concepts and experience of later generations to train and sharpen the actual combat to make the strength of the Soviet special forces surpass Germany!

At the beginning of the war, the German Panzer Corps was overwhelmed, and in just two months, the Soviet Red Army was defeated and discarded. The northern front occupied most of the territory of Lithuania, Latvia and Russia, and the front was already approaching Leningrad; The middle line is even more exaggerated, annihilating more than 40 divisions of the Soviet army, capturing thousands of artillery and tanks, and the forward has already penetrated into Smolensk, just west of Moscow; On the Southern Front, the German army advanced more than 300 kilometers towards Ukraine, eating 600,000 Soviet troops in Kiev.

And it was during the Battle of Moscow that Andrei's A unit showed its sword for the first time, defeated the German Ninth Army, captured the flag of the 378th Infantry Division, and directly boosted the morale of the front, and now the NKVD Department has set up a special operations and guerrilla warfare command to lead special operations and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and now the special forces and guerrilla instructors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have made the occupied areas of the German army full of smoke, and now there are new German special forces on the battlefield, Andrei's commanders and fighters traded their lives for STG44 assault rifles and other German equipment including daggers, special helmets, gloves, water bottles, and more.

It can be said that now the equipment and establishment of the German special forces have almost caught up, which makes Beria very uneasy, and now Beria has decided to ask the intelligence system to collect the intelligence information of the German special forces as much as possible.

At the same time, the situation in Stalingrad is not good, and the German army is pressing on the Caucasus, where are the minorities are restless, as a Georgian, Beria is very aware of the local anti-Russian tradition, it can be said that Georgia is simply anti-bone, when through more than 50 years of conquest, Tsarist Russia conquered here, the Caucasus has a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, geographical location is very important to Russia, and is rich in oil, natural gas, manganese, lead, zinc and other natural mineral deposits.

The Caucasus stretches from the Qom-Manech lowlands in the north to the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the south, and the Caucasus Mountains traverse the vast isthmus between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea from northwest to southeast. The main watershed of the Greater Caucasus Mountains is traditionally regarded as the dividing line between southern and western Europe. The northern side of the mountain is called the Pre-Caucasus or North Caucasus, which is Russia; The southern side is called Transcaucasia or South Caucasus and includes the three kingdoms of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The entire area is 440,000 square kilometers. It stretches from the Kuma lowlands to the south of the Manech Basin and includes southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, as well as several autonomous regions of ethnic minorities. The Greater Caucasus Mountains stretch from the Taman Peninsula in the northern Black Sea to the Abseron Peninsula in the Caspian Sea and are about 1,200 kilometers long. The Lesser Caucasus Mountains are located between the Kura and Arras valleys. There are mountains (the highest peak, Mount Elbrus, is 5,642 meters above sea level), plateaus, plains, and lowlands, and it has a variety of climates such as temperate and subtropical zones with different dry and wet zones.

It can be said that for the Soviets it was not only economically but also geographically important, and now that the Germans are near, the nationalists and pacifists there are very unstable, and now they can only take care of Stalingrad first, and it seems that the Caucasus needs to be suppressed!

And the staff officers of the General Staff nervously marked on the sand table, according to the plan, Stalingrad was a huge suction cup, firmly containing the German army, and then launching a counterattack at the right time to completely annihilate the German army. Now the first wave of support is coming. (To be continued.) )
