The reason why Moder withdrew the armored forces was very simple, in fact, he was afraid that the armored troops would lose a lot of equipment when they retreated during the muddy season - the Tiger H tank and the E-50A tank were heavy vehicles, and they were most afraid of getting stuck in the mud and not being able to drag them out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If the Soviets were desperate to concentrate their forces on a certain section, then it was inevitable that the Germans would retreat, and in the face of the sea of tanks composed of JS-2 and T-34/85, even the E-50A could not guarantee that not an inch of position would be lost. Moreover, the mechanized warfare of World War II was all mobile warfare, and every inch of land was fought in World War I, and there was no such way in World War II.

Tanks like the Tiger H and E-50A are tragic in the muddy season, and even if they can be driven away, the wear and tear of the machine can cause the equipment to be overhauled in advance. In short, it is very troublesome, it is better to retreat 50-100 kilometers in advance. Surrender all forward positions to Panzergrenadiers, who are armed with 88mm anti-tank guns and Rhino anti-tank destroyers that can also inflict heavy damage on the JS-2 and T-34/85 if used properly.

As for the "Rhino" tank destroyer and the No. 4 tank equipped by the German Panzergrenadier Division, as well as the Grizzly assault gun, they are now all rotten goods and are not afraid of losses at all. And the "Rhino" and No. 4 tanks are relatively light in weight, relatively good in maneuverability in the muddy season, and easy to transfer.

However, no matter how good Model's battlefield intuition is, it is impossible to guess that the Soviet Red Army, which has always been clumsy on the battlefield, can actually play a very wonderful penetration and surprise attack this time.

……

Moscow time, April 4, 1944. It is now less than 24 hours before the planned general offensive of the Central Front of the Soviet Army in the direction of Kalinin.

Otto in a well-tailored and handsome Waffen-SS major's uniform. When Comrade Braun walked towards an Sdkfz.234 heavy wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle, he was trembling with nervousness.

The 44-year-old Braun fought in World War I, later in the Bavarian armed uprising in 1918 and was arrested once in 1926, so he is a proven veteran.

However, this mission was at least 10 times more dangerous than previous tests - and probably only going to Lubyanka 2 to explain the problem was more dangerous than infiltrating behind enemy lines under the guise of German SS.

Although the mission was extremely dangerous, Braun and the others did not have enough time to receive the necessary training - the short 10-day special training only taught them to use German equipment, get to know some of the big leaders of the German Nazis, sing a few German songs, and repeatedly warned them: kill yourself if necessary!

If facing capture, suicide is very necessary! Because of Otto. Braun was not eligible for prisoner of war treatment. Not only because he was wearing a German uniform, he did not have the status of a legitimate belligerent (under the Geneva Conventions), but he was technically a spy. And also because he is German, not Soviet.

Whether it is treason or espionage, it can be executed after a military court.

So to be captured is to die!

Therefore, General Rokossovsky, who was in charge of the "Red Star Operation", was very kind to prepare suicide poison for each Red Star commando. It is said that it is possible to end life without pain, and now the poison is contained in Otto. Braun's jacket pocket inside.

In addition to the fact that the poison is reliable, Otto. Blau knew that the very hasty action he had prepared this time was something else reliable.

They did not know the number of the defenders and the reality of the area they were going to infiltrate; They have no documents that can be scarried, and they don't know the passwords of any enemies; They also did not know which German unit they "belonged to......

Although the Red Star commandos were all Germans and Austrians, all of them had been away from their homeland for many years and had no idea about the situation in Germany and Austria.

The most exaggerated is that Otto, who played the SS major. Braun didn't even know how much the German SS major was paid and what kind of "special provisions" he could eat—special supplies were special supplies, and the Soviet Union and all countries with rationing systems had similar rules that would give people of a certain status a higher standard of rationing than the average person.

On the Soviet side, Braun was a cadre who "ate special supplies", and in his mind, the SS major was equivalent to a major in the Soviet internal security department, and his rank was not low, so he should have a good special supply, right? But no one told him about it.

Braun said: This kind of unscrupulous style must not be allowed on the side of Nazi Germany.

"Hey! Hitler! ”

Several fake Nazis standing next to the heavy wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle saw Braun approaching, and all of them saluted him in a good way - although they were all red, they were Germans after all, and they were much more serious than the Russians.

"Hi Hitler." Braun also saluted like a German SS major, and then an SS soldier with an Mkb42 automatic carbine (assault rifle) on his back opened the door for him.

Braun glanced at the long line of vehicles lined up behind the armored car in front of him—an Sdkfz.234/2 Cougar armored vehicle, an Sdkfz.222 armored communications vehicle, several half-tracks with artillery or machine guns installed, and several motorcycles.

However, there was no "Little Panther" reconnaissance tank, which only appeared in the German armored scouts before the end of 1943 - this tank looked a bit like the "Tiger" (the appearance of the Tiger in this time and space was similar to that of the Panther), but it was much smaller and faster, and it was also equipped with a KWK39/60 x caliber 50mm tank gun, which could threaten even heavy tanks like the KV-1 when using a special shell (shell-piercing shells).

"Let's go!" Otto. Braun withdrew his gaze and gave the order to the communications officer in the armored car, then slipped into the carriage, sat down in a very comfortable seat, closed his eyes and remembered his happy life.

The car was quickly started, and the sound of the motor was softer than any Soviet-made vehicle Braun had ever ridden, and as the vehicle moved forward, Braun found that the large eight-wheeled armored car was very smooth, and it was almost catching up with the Soviet-made car.

Braun, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh a little: it seems that Germany's industrial strength is really far superior to that of the Soviet Union, no wonder the vigorous world revolution has changed to the current level......

……

“…… The young warriors stationed on the frontier miss the distant girl in their hearts; Bravely fought to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him.

Bravely fought to defend the Motherland, Katyusha love will always belong to him.

Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, the river floats with a soft light veil; Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light.

Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light. ”

When Shura. When Sergeant Kosmodejanskov heard the soldiers of the 8th Guards Infantry Division from Kazakhstan singing "Katyusha" as they lined up on the side of the road, he thought of his sister Zoya, who was two years older than him.

Zoya joined the partisan detachment, and after leaving her native Moscow in the second half of '42, she was never heard from, and it is said that she had died a heroic death at the gunpoint of the evil Nazi bandits - in fact, Zoya was admitted to the Faculty of Russian Language and Culture at the Petrograd State University in the fall of '43, and is now studying feverishly at the most beautiful university in Russia, preparing to serve the reactionary Russian Motherland in the future......

However, her brother Shura did not know this, and like Zoya in 1942, Shura was now a strong believer in GC Doctrine.

After the world revolution turned into the Great Patriotic War, Shura, like most of the boys in his class, signed up for the Red Army.

But to his dismay, he was not immediately sent to the front line to fight the evil invaders, but was selected to learn to drive a tank at the tank academy.

After graduating with honors, Shura did not get his wish to drive the mighty T-34 and KV-1 tanks, but was assigned to a light tank brigade transferred from the Far East to drive the BT-7 light tank.

Due to the weak firepower of the BT-7 and the relatively thin armor, any kind of German tank/assault gun encountered on the battlefield could only be killed. So Shura's tank brigade has not been sent to the front, but has been stationed around Moscow. It was only not so long ago that the order was given to go to the front.

As soon as I thought that I would be able to drive the BT-7 tank to ...... After crushing the evil German infantry, Shura was so excited that he forgot about his "miserable" sister and went out into the clouds.

Shura's 18th Guards Tank Brigade was now under the jurisdiction of the Red Army's 7th Guards Tank Army, and the 8th Guards Infantry Division, which was passing by Shura's tanks, was also part of the 7th Guards Tank Army.

The commander of the division was Ivan. Vasilyevich. Major General Panfilov, 51 years old, was one of the oldest division commanders in the Red Army. In 1915, he enlisted in the First World War, and in 1918 he joined the famous 25th Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army (Khapaev-Shaboyang Division). However, he did not become a major general until 1940, and only after the outbreak of the world revolution did he become a division commander. It was only in April 1944 that he was given the opportunity to go to the front to confront the invaders and White Russia.

The teacher who was riding on a Kazakh horse watched the Kazakh warriors under his command sing and move forward, and the originally gloomy mood suddenly became relaxed.

The Soviet Union still has a very strong force, and there are endless new forces, and it will definitely be able to hold on!
