[It is Manstein to correct]

When Manstein heard them say this, he also realized that he was the commander-in-chief, and he couldn't be eccentric, otherwise the troops would not be easy to lead, and besides, the "Skeleton Division" and the "Imperial Division" were also very good elite troops, and they could not be left unused like this.

Thinking of this, Manstein's face was slightly better, but his voice was just as serious:

"I know the opinion of the two of you, but now that the lightning assault on Bryansk has been launched, and all the troops are attacking and advancing, there is no way to replace the attacking troops at this time.

When the troops assault Bryansk, replace the two of you and go up to take the lead, don't give Lao Tzu a sloppy belt when the time comes, this time you leave the troops without permission, give a verbal warning, and go back to organize your troops. ”

……

At this time, Wittmann's armored assault group was carrying out another pre-war replenishment, and according to reconnaissance, where Rukov's rout was deployed sixty kilometers ahead, they were the last line of defense in Bryansk.

Once the breakthrough is made, Bryansk will be like a ****... Naked beauties are displayed in front of the German army, will this line of defense be as fragile as last time.

Wittmann was making the final deployment, and the order to attack was quickly given, and in a penetrating battle like this to break through the enemy's defensive line, it was definitely the air force that took the lead, destroying as much as possible the heavy weapons of the Soviet army, so as to minimize their own losses.

At this time, Manstein was carefully analyzing the various reports and intelligence sent back from the front in the command post, and of course, there were countless staff officers to help sort out and classify them, so that Manstein could consult them at any time.

Several combat staff officers stood straight in front of the sand table with push rods in hand, and in front of them was a huge sand table, on which was the strategic situation map of the entire Soviet Union, and several black tank models had been placed on the sand table.

These tank models represent the SS tank assault group, and their rear is divided into left and right wings, with the tank model of the Skeleton Division on one side, the tank model of the Reich Division on the other, and the huge convoy of Prinz Eugen's Division behind it.

After watching the situation of his troops, Manstein did not find any major problems, and after only a few hours of attacking, he advanced to dozens of kilometers, and more than a hundred kilometers to Bryansk, such a speed of progress can be described as divine speed,

The progress of the other units is not even half, it seems that the combat strength of the SS is really good, and in the future we must use the SS more often, and do not let the pearl be dusted.

Of course, the SS aviation division also played a huge role, the air force escorted the whole process, cleared the obstacles to the advance of the tank troops, and eliminated all the heavy firepower of the Soviet army, otherwise how could the SS armored units under the command of Manstein be so smooth.

This is completely the power of multi-arm cooperative combat! Not that one, that kind of unit can do it, and the honor belongs to everyone in the SS.

After looking at the SS, Manstein began to turn his gaze to other fronts, on which the progress of each unit was clearly marked, and on the sand table was a small flag instead of that unit, and the small flag was written on it, so that the strategic situation of the entire Soviet Union could be seen at a glance.

The German pincer attack on Bryansk in two directions, the SS on the right flank rushed the fastest, and the 8th Army of the Wehrmacht on the left flank was fighting fiercely with the Soviet "22nd Army" and had not yet broken through the Soviet defensive line.

The 4th Army was striking from the junction of the Soviet "23rd Army" and the "24th Army", and the 4th Army was not advancing very quickly, advancing about fifty kilometers.

As long as the German army met at Bryansk, the three Soviet heavy armies would be completely encircled and annihilated.

The problem now is that the combat positions of the armored assault groups on the left and right flanks of Manstein are very prominent, and the logistical supply lines of the two armored assault groups are not so safe. In such a strategic situation, whether his troops are in danger or not, Manstein began to ponder and analyze.

In order to protect his transport line, Manstein had already sent several of his reinforcement divisions to defend the transport line. The German supplementary divisions also had some tanks, but there were not many of them, and other weapons were complete.

Although the supplementary divisions were all new recruits, as long as they could hold the places they had already occupied and protect the transport lines, Manstein's main tank divisions could just advance, advance, break through, break through again, and break the enemy's will to fight by cutting off the enemy's retreat.

After analyzing this, Manstein began to compare again, and after a moment of gesticulation as if he suddenly understood something, he raised his head and said to the combat staff officer beside him:

"Order the trucks that are already empty on the front line to return immediately, then go to the base to load the things he transported before, and then quickly return to the convoy."

Isn't it tragic that Manstein's order meant to ensure that the convoy was fully loaded with all kinds of materials at all times, and that there would be no ammunition or anything left when the time came for a war.

As long as the ammunition and other materials on the front line are sufficient, Manstein believes that his tank assault group is now no Soviet unit can stop it.

Since it was decided to "blitzkrieg" Bryansk, Manstein did not hesitate and immediately began to give orders to the troops, and the supplementary divisions continued to defend the positions attacked by the troops in front, focusing on the protection of the lines of communication.

The rest of the more than a million troops, following the armored assault group, formed a tight encirclement of the Bryansk region, and Manstein intended to pocket all the more than 700,000 Soviet troops in the Bryansk region.

Manstein made a bet, with all the main forces of the entire Army Group Center, he wanted to take Bryansk in one fell swoop, occupy the enemy's command center, disintegrate the military and popular hearts of the entire Soviet Union, and end the Battle of Bryansk as soon as possible.

In fact, Popov, the commander-in-chief of the Bryansk region of the Soviet army, is no longer in Bryansk, and he has already relocated his headquarters to Kaluga, which is more than 180 kilometers away from Bryansk.

Why did Manstein dare to press all his belongings like this, and gamble desperately, for a stable character like Manstein, he would never make an uncertain gamble, and Manstein carefully analyzed the reasons.

Germany completely controlled air supremacy, when to fight, when to retreat, the initiative was all on the German side. Therefore, Manstein was not at all afraid that the Soviet army would counter-encircle him.

Under the condition that their own side has full air supremacy, the heavy weapons of the Soviet army are basically decorations, and they will be destroyed by Manstein's planes before they can shoot, and Manstein does not have to worry about the consumption of his tanks too much.

Manstein also had a large supply convoy carrying a large amount of material that could meet all the consumption of his own front line without worrying too much about Soviet air strikes.

Army Group Center also has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, although it has not yet reached the point of encircling it five times, why does Manstein, who has many advantages, dare not encircle and annihilate more than 700,000 Soviet troops!

It must be encircled and annihilated...... (To be continued.) )
