Chapter 480: Thriving

The Soviets retreated from the Kursk region, and by the time the Germans found out, it was too late, and Rommel did not punish anyone for this incident. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lack of ammunition at the front, the exhaustion of the soldiers, this is not the cause of human error, and Rommel, the Führer, certainly did not get angry about it.

Now that the Soviets have jumped out of the Kursk salient, let the front-line soldiers rest well, Rommel did not order the German units to pursue, because there was no longer necessary, Rommel did not want to fight an unprepared battle.

The soldiers could rest and recuperate with confidence, but the generals and logistics troops were impossible, and since Rommel was going to hold a decisive battle in Moscow, he had to be foolproof.

Since the beginning of the Eastern Front battlefield in April 1941, the casualties of various units of the German front have been considerable, and the average number of personnel in each army who has withdrawn from the battle sequence is about 20 percent, which is the cumulative casualties of countless battles.

Because of the fierce fighting on the Eastern Front and the busy logistics and transportation, the German troops on the front line were hardly replenished, and Rommel took advantage of this opportunity to replenish the troops of the various armies on the front line.

By the time 41 years there were plenty of reservists in Germany, and they had been trained and armed, but there were not enough logistical trains to transport them to the front.

At this time, from Germany to the Soviet front, there were three railways in the north, the middle and the south, and each railway was headed for the Soviet front every five minutes by a train to various places.

All kinds of materials of the front-line armies must be put in the primary transportation position, otherwise when the Soviet counteroffensive comes, the Germans on the front line can only fight with the Soviet army with bayonets.

Under such circumstances, Rommel was also anxious when faced with the documents of the front-line armies requesting additional troops, but fortunately, Rommel was a traverser, and he remembered that before the crossing, he had seen a picture.

That picture is a picture of the Indian Ah San driving a hang-up train, and the whole train is full of people on and around it, since the Indian Ah-san can drive a hitchhike train like this, then the German army should also be able to.

Rommel then ordered that all trains that were already full must carry another battalion of soldiers outside the car. Each train has at least ten carriages, and there are less than 500 soldiers in a battalion, and more than 50 people hang outside one carriage.

It was only the middle of July, the temperature was still very high, and people were sitting outside the carriage without any problems. In this way, the problem of replenishment of troops was easily solved by Rommel, although it was not so perfect, but it was able to send the replenishment of troops to the front-line armies in a timely manner.

There are already four oil wells producing oil in the Bryansk oil field, and there are refineries in Belarus, but this oil production can only meet the needs of Army Group North, although this also gives Army Group Center and Army Group South a very sufficient supply of fuel.

Finally, there is the situation in Europe as a whole, because Rommel pursued a relatively liberal national policy in the occupied European territories, and at the same time ordered a large number of military supplies in the occupied territories, which undoubtedly stimulated the local economy.

As a result, the people of the occupied European territories had jobs, food, freedom and dignity, so that there was not much market for the underground resistance organizations in the European countries under German occupation.

It was mainly Anglo-American spies who were in underground tandem, and mass resistance in the true sense of the word barely appeared. Germany's successive military victories also made the people of these occupied territories dare not have the heart to resist.

At least, at this time, the European countries were ostensibly economically prosperous, the order was stable, all kinds of living materials were abundant, and the industrial output value had surpassed that before the German occupation, which was the benefit of Rommel's European industrial integration.

The area of European countries is not too large, and it is impossible for any country to form a very complete industrial system, which involves division of labor and cooperation.

Hitler used war to achieve territorial unity, and Rommel then used industrial integration to integrate industry and agriculture throughout Europe, and the benefits are now manifested, and the whole of Europe did not stagnate because of the war, nor did it collapse economically because of the war, but flourished because of Rommel's European integration.

Once the industrial dragon industry in the whole of Europe is activated, or even developed rapidly, will Germany still be short of weapons and equipment? As long as the German government has the money to order, European countries can quickly produce it for Germany.

Of course, this is inseparable from resources, more than half of the countries in the whole of Africa are supplying raw materials for the whole of Europe, and Germany's Afrika Korps is eyeing the whole of North Africa, and these African countries do not dare to stop the supply of raw materials to the entire EU when they do not see the British and American armies.

Let's look at the weapons and equipment produced by the entire European countries for Germany, there are more than 1,000 No. 4 tanks per month, more than 700 Leopard tanks per month, several production lines are under construction, and more than 500 anti-tank destroyers of various types.

The production of aircraft is even more terrifying, the production of BF109 alone has reached more than 2,500 units per month, the production of JU87 units per month is more than 800 units, the production of JU89 long-range bombers is more than 100 units per month, and the production of the rest of the aircraft is about 500 units. (The above figures are based on 1944 German production, with a slight increase.) )

The production of trucks can fully meet the needs of military and civilian use, with a monthly output of about 50,000 vehicles, and there is no problem in the production of other military products.

For example, all kinds of guns, all kinds of cannons, the German army departments can have as many as they want, for ordinary German soldiers, the biggest change is that the guns in their hands have changed from Mauser or P40 to SGT41 assault rifles. (for the original name SGT44) for the soldier's redress, about 1942 low, all completed.

In short, Germany developed rapidly under the strategy formulated by Rommel, industrial and agricultural production increased steadily, the people's life was getting better and better, the news of German victories at the front came one after another, and the myth of the invincibility of the German army was never broken.

All Rommel preparations for the attack on Moscow were carried out in an orderly manner.

……

At this time, the commander of the Afrika Korps was Bismarck, the chief of staff Hans, and the deputy commander was Luxembourg, who also served as the commander of the Seventh Panzer Army.

The strength of the entire Afrika Korps has reached 500,000, because the whole of Africa is so important to Germany, most of the raw materials of the whole of Europe come from Africa, and all the oil that the whole of Europe needs also comes from Africa.

It is not an exaggeration for Rommel to expand the Afrika Korps to more than 500,000 men. In fact, the German troops stationed in Africa did not ignore the tens of thousands of people, and there were three divisions stationed in Jerusalem.

Rommel's starting troops, the 7th Panzer Division, were stationed in Jerusalem, as well as two mechanized infantry divisions, and Luxembourg stayed in Jerusalem for a long time, all at the request of the Jews.

It's all conditional......
