Chapter 449 Bryansk Oil and Gas Field

After a country is reunified, it will begin to consider the interests of its own nation, and if it hinders their interests, it will definitely invite resistance, and the interests of the country are paramount, and there is no room for distinction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The United Russia Party is the same, Rommel saw it very clearly, but in order to stabilize the occupied areas, eliminate the rebels as much as possible, and make the best use of the human, material and financial resources of the occupied areas, Rommel must support the United Russia Party, and this must be grasped to a certain extent.

After the settlement of Petrovsk, Guderian began to recuperate, and at the same time gradually transferred his forces to Kovsk, which were of course aimed at hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops outside Kovsk.

At this time, there were about 600,000 Soviet troops in Kovsk, and these Soviet troops were not peasant armies, all of them were regular troops, and their weapons and equipment were better than those of the Soviet army in Petrovsk.

When Guderian attacked Petrovsk, Vasilevsky was also stepping up training, replenishment, and arming his own defense troops, and at the same time mobilized a lot of manpower to improve his fortifications.

Seven or eight German troops in the city of Kovsk were besieged by hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and more than 300,000 troops of Army Group South led by Guderian were also advancing towards Kovsk.

The Soviet army led by Vasilevsky was all regular troops, and the people who commanded them were famous Soviet generals, and Guderian had to plan well if he wanted to attack Kovsk.

Besides, when the Germans attacked Petrovsk, the attrition was also very large, and Guderian had to wait for a week or two to launch a new offensive.

This time is used to replenish supplies and replenish troops, and the war is fought with logistics, and this truth has been verified.

Guderian had nearly a million German troops in his hands, and he now only had more than 300,000 troops, which was obviously not enough, and he had to draw troops from other quarters, so the Battle of Kovsk could not be fought for the time being.

After reading the typhoon plan in his hand, Rommel began to close his eyes and ponder, the typhoon plan drawn up by the staff officers was not much different from history, but it was a pity that they ignored an important place, that is, the Bryansk oil field.

Germany now has a steady stream of oil from Africa, but it is inconceivable to transport oil from Africa to Germany, refine it into fuel and then send it to the front.

Other generals may not know, but Rommel, the Führer, knew very well that the cost of a meal of fuel to the Soviet front was five tons of fuel, and the fuel needed by more than five million mechanized troops was even more sky-high.

Thirty-five percent of Germany's military budget is spent on fuel, which has put unprecedented pressure on Germany, and it can be said that fuel costs have delayed the production of German weapons and equipment.

Solving the military budget deficit by exceeding the standard is a fool's job, and there is only one way for an economically collapsed Germany to perish, and Rommel will never be able to do that.

Solving the problem of oil sources in the Soviet Union can cost a lot of money, which is something that Rommel must focus on, and the Bryansk oil field is one of the main targets of Rommel's typhoon plan.

Because there is a large oil field in Poland -- the Bryansk oil and gas field, which has already begun to be exploited, it is only because of the outbreak of war that the project is lagging behind.

Its total recoverable reserves are about 7.25 million tons of crude oil and about 7.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and the Bryansk oil and gas field in Poland will produce oil and gas through 14 wells, and now there are four oil wells in production in Poland, and the rest of the wells are also about 80% complete.

The safety of this oil field is too important, Rommel must take the oil field in the first time, by surprise attack, and then protect it closely, not to be destroyed or ignited by the Soviet army, this task is more arduous, the task of the raid is of course the "direct flight commando".

Thinking of this, Rommel pulled Manstein to the sand table and pointed to a place more than seventy or eighty kilometers outside the city of Bryansk. This sand table was captured by the Germans, and the mountains, rivers and cities on the sand table are very detailed.

The place where Rommel pointed was desolate, there were basically no towns, but on top of the sand table were a few small models of oil wells, and that was the Bryansk oil and gas field.

The Bryansk oil and gas field is more than 250 kilometers away from Moscow and about 80 kilometers away from Bryansk, which is basically on the edge of the Soviet Moscow defense circle, but it is definitely not within the Soviet Moscow defense circle, and they do not have so many troops to arrange such a large defense circle.

The Moscow Front did not know how many troops Rommel had deployed in the Bryansk oil fields, but the preliminary estimate was the strength of one regiment, and Rommel's "direct flight commando" was only 500 people, and if it was to challenge a Polish regiment, the chances of victory were still relatively large, and if a "direct flight commando" could not deal with four Soviet troops, then there was no need to call special forces.

"General Manstein, come and see here, this is the Bryansk oil field, the relevant information is on the table, wait a minute, this oil field has considerable oil and gas reserves, 7.25 million tons of recoverable oil alone, and 73 cubic meters of natural gas.

This is so important to us, our fuel freight rates are so high that we can hardly afford it, and we want to use the steel torrent in the USSR without restrictions, and we are counting on the Bryansk oil and gas fields.

Oil and gas here are the blood of our German army on the Eastern Front, so I decided to now, immediately, safely grab the Bryansk oil and gas field, my general, what are your plans. ”

As soon as he heard that the Soviet Union had such a large oil field, Manstein was immediately excited, and he sent oil to Africa to be turned into fuel oil and transported to the Soviet front, and Manstein also vaguely knew some of the cost of this.

Now that there are oil fields in front of him, it can be said that Manstein is more excited than a naked beauty, as long as the Bryansk oil fields are safely taken, Germany can use the steel torrent in the USSR without restrictions.

"My Führer, how about asking you to let me command this battle?"

It seems that Manstein can't resist the temptation either!

"As you wish, my general, then tell me how to fight a battle."

"My Führer, I think so, I will first let the direct commandos carry ****** to land around the Bryansk oil field tonight, and then raid the Bryansk oil field......

The direct flight commando was born in the hands of Rommel, and the combat effectiveness of the direct flight commando is also the most clear to Rommel, and Rommel believes that the "direct flight commando" he personally formed is absolutely capable of completing this task of raiding the Bryansk oil field.
