When you cross the Aureli River, you should think that you will reach Kovsk as fast as possible, and never attack the enemy's cities on the way, because this area is all plains, and whether there is a road or not is passable for your convoy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When you get to Kovsk, immediately go into it with all your might, there are basically no Soviet troops there, and after you take the city, immediately strengthen the city defenses, you will most likely face a flanking attack from both Petrovsk and Kharkiv.

No matter what the cost is, hold on to Petrovsk, and I will send 328 planes from two aviation regiments to support you in the fight.

Although you have the support of the air force, you are still alone, and it is difficult for me to have reinforcements for you except for the airlift point to supply you.

Steiner, you tell me plainly, can you complete the task victoriously and successfully? ”

"Hey! Rommel, please rest assured Commander-in-Chief Guderian that Steiner has absolute confidence in completing the task, but ...... But ......"

"But what? You shouldn't have a bad idea again, don't take my local lord's old fortune! ”

"Hehe, the commander-in-chief still understands me!! Can the commander-in-chief give two thousand more truckloads of substance? ”

"At most, you will be given one more truckload of supplies, and our offensive battle in Petrovsk will be a difficult battle of life and death."

"Alright! Commander-in-chief, as long as you go out with me, the journey is not short, so there must be a lot of problems with tanks and trucks, and you and I will have some repair troops and spare parts.

In addition, we are surrounded by Soviet troops on all sides, and the wounded soldiers must be treated, so I need more medicine and doctors. ”

"I can satisfy you with this, and I will transfer you three more repair battalions and a field hospital, and double the accessories and medicines."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, when are we going to do it."

"Tomorrow morning 5; 30 Leave on time, you will go and prepare now. ”

"Hey! Rommel. ”

The three SS divisions led by Steiner are a nail in the heart of the Soviet Union, as long as Steiner stands on his feet, the Soviet army in Petrovsk will have painful days, of course, Steiner They are also in extreme danger, and the enemy who is cut off from the back is also the most crazy.

Guderian cut off the supply lines in Petrovsk before the start of the war, and the isolated city of Petrovsk without supplies will definitely not last long, and after the final madness of the Soviet army in Petrovsk, there will be no fighting spirit.

June 11 at 5 a.m.; At 30 minutes, the German troops assembled outside Rostov began to move, 11 armored divisions, 4 mechanized infantry divisions, and more than 4,000 trucks followed the troops, and they did not attack Petrovsk in front of them, but went to Petrovsk's back.

Because the Soviets were afraid that the German army would be divided and surrounded by a blitzkrieg, they shrank their forces to Petrovsk and put a large defensive position in depth for the German army.

Petrovsk's defense was strengthened by the Soviet army, and there was no danger of being divided and surrounded by the German army, but there were no Soviet defense troops in the area around Petrovsk, which made it easier for Steiner to penetrate.

More than 300,000 regular Soviet troops and hundreds of thousands of Soviet militia relied on Petrovsk to build countless defensive positions, which on the surface of Petrovsk was impregnable......

In Odessa, Timoshenko's defeat was inexplicable, and the Ukrainian Front under his command actually surrendered without a fight, although Timoshenko ran away in a submarine at the last moment, he was also severely criticized by Stalin.

Stalin asked Timoshenko to come to Petrovsk to make meritorious contributions, and Timoshenko is now commanding not the Ukrainians, but the regular Soviet Red Army and the Soviet militia, which reassures Timoshenko a lot.

Timoshenko learned the lesson of the last time in Odessa, and of course he would not put all his troops in the city, and besides, he would not be able to put more than 600,000 troops in the city.

Timoshenko had his troops arrange defensive positions around the city, and these positions were not linear defensive positions, but composed of numerous circular positions, with a company in the small ring defense position and a regiment in the large ring defense position.

Artillery positions were also placed in these defensive positions, all artillery was built with protective sheds of logs and mud, and even mortars had special anti-artillery holes. Timoshenko suffered a big loss from the Germans' shells last time, and he learned well this time, but he didn't know how much of a difference these deployments he made.

If you look at it from the air, Petrovsk is completely surrounded by all kinds of large and small circular trenches and fortifications, and the various weapons of the Soviet army are reasonably arranged within countless circular defensive positions.

Of course, there are many advantages to this kind of defensive position, but it is not conducive to counterattacking, but Timoshenko did not think about counterattacking at all, and Timoshenko meant, uncle, I will hold Petrovsk to the death, and see what tricks you German have.

The German Army Group South wanted to take Petrovsk, which was defended by more than 600,000 men, in a short period of time, but in Timoshenko's opinion, it was absolutely impossible.

Of course, Guderian would not be stupid enough to use people to fight Petrovsk, that would be the most stupid thing to do, and Guderian would certainly not do such a thing.

"Boom ......" tanks began to roar.

The escort assault group has a total of eleven armored divisions, almost 1,700 tanks, and other vehicles, and the momentum of the earth-shattering power is enough to shock everything, there is a torrent of steel on the ground, and countless planes in the air to escort it.

Since the launch, after the Luftwaffe strangulation during this period of time, the Soviet planes have suffered great losses, and the planes aided by Britain and the United States have just arrived in the hands of the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union does not have so many pilots and can only train urgently, so the Soviet Union now rarely organizes large-scale air raids.

In the skies over Petrovsk, Soviet planes were rarely seen, and even if Soviet planes came, only a few came to reconnoitre, and this did not have much effect on Germany, and German planes patrolling over Petrovsk would shoot down or expel these Soviet reconnaissance planes.

However, Guderian still sent an aviation division to escort his escort corps, and these 11 armored divisions are Guderian's lifeblood, and they must not suffer any huge losses, otherwise the battle of Army Group South will not be easy to fight in the future.

……

Petrovsk Command:

Timoshenko was holding a pipe in his mouth and staring intently at the sand table, and now the war situation is extremely unfavorable to the Soviet Union, and unfavorable news comes from the Soviet front every day, not that the Germans broke through here, but that the Germans surrounded it, so it can be said that the entire Soviet Union was in extreme tension and fear.

Of course, there are also several good news, the first good news is that the Soviet Union has finally formally signed the "Soviet-Japanese Non-Aggression Pact" with Japan, and now the Soviet Union does not have to worry about fighting on both sides.

Of the 1.8 million elite troops deployed in the Far East, 1 million are already being transported by rail day and night, and in a maximum of five or six days, they will reach Moscow and Stalingrad.

In addition, the transfer of young people from all parts of the Soviet Union is also stepping up the reorganization, and as long as the Soviet Union can hold Germany back for two or three months, the entire Soviet Union will have about 15 million troops, and there will be about 15 million reservists.

(This is the essence of a great power, also known as the tolerance rate, Stalin lost nearly 5 million troops in the first three months of the war, and captured 3.8 million troops, Stalin, the old boy, actually survived - miracle!) ）
