Chapter 531: The Battle of the Mansion (I)
At the same time, the Southwestern Front on the Southern Front also took full control of the whole of Greater Hungary under the command of Brusilov, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and other places were occupied by Soviet troops, and even launched an offensive against Austria. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, after the completion of the general mobilization of the German army, the strength of the army increased greatly, and the Soviet front was stretched too long to ensure the stable supply of logistics, and finally the offensive ended in failure, the total number of Soviet casualties exceeded 300,000, while the German army only suffered less than 100,000 casualties.
But even so, on the whole, the tide of the war continued to tilt in favor of the Soviet Union and not in favor of Germany, and before we knew it, Germany, which thought it could achieve a quick victory before the war, had permanently lost more than 1.5 million troops. ”
What they don't know is that although the Soviet Union claimed to have killed a generation of men in three consecutive tragic wars, there were not many children at that time (during the Three Kingdoms War, the Chinese army would not be difficult for women and children, the civil war ended quickly, and women and children were given priority to withdraw to the rear during the Great Patriotic War). After a few years, they just grew up to take over the class of their revolutionary predecessors. The long-term effects of too many young and strong deaths are mainly concentrated in the ultra-low birth rate that has been unbearable to witness in recent years, but this gap will have to wait for more than ten years before its impact on the national strength of the Soviet Union will be fully revealed......
Therefore, in the case of the current Soviet Union alone, their available strength is not much less than in the last Great Patriotic War, and due to the strengthening of the mobilization system and the further growth of industrial strength, the maximum strength of the Soviet army is even greater than in the last Great Patriotic War. In some ways, this is very similar to the war of the Yan Dynasty in which the Zhao State experienced the decline of national strength after the Changping fiasco during the Warring States Period of China, and the Yan State wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, but was defeated by the Zhao army, which took place in the ninth year after the Battle of Changping and the sixth year after the Battle of Handan, and the situation is almost the same as that of the current Soviet Union......
Regardless of whether you can figure it out or not, it is too late for the West to take the medicine of regret now, and once Germany is defeated, the whole of Western Europe will be wiped out, because a red Germany will only be more terrible than the current Soviet Union, and the entire European continent will be completely red. And once the entire European continent is red, and the Western powers retreat to the Americas and the British Isles, caught between the Soviet Union and the Chinese Republic, it is only a matter of time before they perish.
As a result, even the French, who had a great vendetta, provided a large amount of aid to Germany with unprecedented enthusiasm, especially the food that Germany urgently needed at the moment, and the US government did its best to provide a large amount of food support to Germany. The amount of food aid from the Entente was so great that Germany did not have to worry about starving to death even if the grain harvest was lost.
Other military supplies provided to Germany by the Allies also played a crucial role, especially the shortage of oil, especially high-quality oil, and the limited production of automobiles and airplanes (compared to the United States and Great Britain......
Although there is still a gap in performance compared with the Soviet aircraft, most of the aircraft in the entire Western world are concentrated in Germany, and the output of the arsenal after the full operation is even more amazing, the Entente (after the destruction of the German army in the North Road, under the realistic pressure of the Soviet army, the Entente organization quickly agreed to admit Germany to join, and the three major camps in the world were finally formed. The number of planes is terrifying, and it is actually relying on the method of "ants bite the elephant to death" to maintain Germany's domestic air supremacy, of course, this is also because the batch of aircraft eliminated by China is a little better than the current European and American products, but there is no generation difference.
After the air supremacy changed hands, the relatively sloppy "crowd" route of the Soviet army inevitably caused huge casualties, coupled with the rapid deterioration of the Soviet army's logistical situation after switching to the active offensive, which also greatly slowed down the performance of the front-line troops......
Since the Soviet counteroffensive entered East Prussia, a total of 190,000 Soviet troops have been killed, 160,000 captured, and 110,000 missing (most of them killed, a small number captured, and only a few thousand have successfully returned home). 720,000 wounded and had to abandon most of East Prussia and return to Poland to recuperate, shifting the focus to consolidating control over the three Baltic states; Although the German army only suffered more than 200,000 casualties, and the proportion of permanent attrition was very low, it still had lingering fears because of the previous fiasco, and the reserves of ammunition supply had been exhausted by the previous crazy consumption, and they did not dare to immediately counterattack with all their might. As a result, the Soviet-German war, which had always been a big open and closed rhythm, suddenly quieted for a while......
And when the west was temporarily quiet, a fierce quarrel broke out at the top of the Huaxia Republic in the far east, and the young new premier Song Jiaoren didn't sit on the buttocks, so he confronted Li Hui, the head of state who had accumulated prestige, so that every colleague who had a good relationship with him pinched a cold sweat for him......
In 1915, Li Hui finally completed almost all the research on tank technology ("almost" because the early heavy tanks with little practicality [typical for the Soviet T-35 multi-turret tank] were temporarily abandoned by Li Hui. The Chinese Republic quickly mastered the production technology of many advanced tanks, including T-26 light tanks and T-28 medium tanks, and because of the help of the system, in 1916, it was less than half, and it had formed a huge production capacity that shocked the world, and there were more than 500 T-26 light tanks (and improved ones) that appeared within a month, and if you add other armored vehicles such as self-propelled guns, anti-aircraft tanks, armored reconnaissance vehicles, and armored transport vehicles, the monthly output was no less than 2,000 units!
The total number of new aircraft has increased to more than 10,000, including more than 2,000 British Avro "Manchester" heavy bombers and more than 5,000 German Hs123 biplane dive bombers, which not only far exceeds the air power of the German blitzkrieg in World War II in history, but also greatly exceeds the ground support capability of the Luftwaffe before the Barbarossa plan. Their enemies were no match for the air power of France and the Soviet Union during World War II......
