Chapter 280: The Soviet Front
When Hitler heard Zhang Jun say this, his sunny face just now instantly darkened, and Zhang Jun was also nervous in his heart, and he didn't know what decision Hitler would make.
Hitler was silent, slowly sat down in his chair, and began to think, while Zhang Jun also stood cautiously in the center of the room, Zhang Jun felt that time was like a world so long.
"My little radish head, what you said also makes sense, but the Wehrmacht is determined to fight, this is the first reason, and the second is that from the perspective of the French campaign, the Anglo-French alliance is an army like tofu scum, and it is impossible for us to be the opponent of our German ** team, so our sea lion plan will still be implemented."
Zhang Jun had no choice, he personally came forward to persuade Hitler, but failed to change Hitler's opinion, it seems that this sea lion plan must be implemented, at this time the "Moscow Campaign" in the Soviet Union also started a few days ago, because Hitler transferred a large number of air forces to participate in the French campaign, so that the Soviet Union front-line aircraft on the more than 2,000, and the number of Soviet planes has surpassed Germany, although the number of advanced aircraft in the Soviet Union is still relatively small, the United States mainly aids Britain and France.
However, the weapons production capacity of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union is five times that of Germany, for example, a German plane beats down five planes of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and then he is also shot down, such a one-to-five record can only be regarded as a war of attrition.
Zhang Jun could not continue to persuade Hitler, and randomly submitted his resignation to Hitler:
"Great Führer, I reserve my opinion, I think that at this time we will absolutely not be able to carry out the Sea Lion plan, if the Führer must insist on carrying it out, I can only choose to resign, I ask the Führer to approve my resignation from the post of commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and then take the SS to support the Soviet front, because now there are two million Wehrmacht troops in France, and there is no need for SS troops at all, please approve my request, our SS troops on the Soviet front are now in a bitter battle because of the lack of troops, Even the Italian SS was desperately holding out under the siege of the Soviet Union, and I knew they were coming to the last moment. ”
Hitler thought about it a little and agreed to Zhang Jun's request, and in the afternoon Zhang Jun began to organize a large number of trains to transport his SS troops, and the developed railway system in Europe was indeed very convenient in terms of transporting troops, of course, the SS air force units could not be taken away, and Hitler was left behind to participate in the "Sea Lion Plan". The helicopter unit was taken away by Zhang Jun, and anyway, the grandsons of the Wehrmacht didn't know how to use this sharp weapon, and it would only be a waste to leave them.
The Chief of the General Staff of the High Command was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front, Catherine was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, and the rest of the personnel changes were not much, and most of the commanders appointed by Zhang Jun during the French campaign were Wehrmacht, so there was no need to change them. Zhang Jun is not obsessed with power at all, which makes those national defense forces who already dislike Zhang Jun very much, and they have to admire Zhang Jun's character.
……
The transportation of a million-strong army, this task is very heavy, Zhang Jun, who is really busy, naturally thought of Germany's "three ** guests" - the general leader of the SS, Marshal Himmler, Zhang Jun is now also a marshal, but Zhang Jun is only in charge of the Waffen-SS who fights, and will never meddle in some affairs of Himmler's local SS, and there must be cats in it, but Zhang Jun will only take care of his own one-third of an acre, who cares about others.
Zhang Jun asked Himmler for the sake of transportation, and all the trains were requisitioned by Himmler's order, and all were used to transport SS soldiers and weapons and equipment to the Soviet front. It was supposed to take half a month to transport, but as soon as Himmler came out, it took only ten days for Zhang Jun to arrive at the Stalingrad front, five days ahead of schedule. At the same time, Zhang Jun also carried a large number of RPG bazookas, and now each has an 88.9 mm "Bazooka", so Zhang Jun has no need to hide it, of course, that part of the Wehrmacht Zhang Jun will not deduct.
Now the time is July 28, from the Soviet Union's severe cold weather in October, only a full 40 days, of course, Zhang Jun prepared cold materials are enough, but the German mechanized troops to fight under the ice and snow of the Soviet Union, it is indeed difficult, the Soviet Union's severe cold will almost reduce Germany's offensive ability by more than 70%.
Rommel was fighting a bloody battle at the gateway to the southeast of Moscow - Liangzan, which was only more than 300 kilometers away from Moscow, and the Soviet soldiers resisted extremely stubbornly, and at the same time, the Soviet Union produced some large-caliber anti-tank guns, such as 122 mm caliber anti-tank guns, which were basically unbearable for Shanzhai 99.
The D-25 122-mm gun, with a barrel length of 43 times the caliber, has armor-piercing capabilities similar to the 88-mm gun of the "King Tiger" tank. When firing armor-piercing shells, the thickness of vertical armor-piercing at a distance of 2000 meters is 120 mm, and at a distance of 1000 meters is 160 mm; And when firing armor-piercing shells, it is capable of penetrating vertical steel armor with a thickness of 2000 mm at a distance of 2000 meters.
That is to say, the gap between the two sides is not big, in fact, in the development of artillery power, the Germans and the ** people have taken two different paths, the Germans rely on their own outstanding technology, by increasing the length of the gun to achieve a higher muzzle velocity and improve the kinetic energy carried by the armor-piercing projectile, and the ** people know that the process can not fight hard with the Germans, so the use is to increase the caliber, by improving the quality of the projectile to achieve high kinetic energy, which is why we feel that the German cannon is slender and slender, while the Soviet gun is typically short, thick and fat
People think that the Soviet Union has poor craftsmanship and poor artillery accuracy in this regard, but in the end the winner was the Soviet Red Army, why is this so, because the Soviet Union's weapons production efficiency is much higher than that of Germany, and the production process is simple, and the weapons produced by the Soviet Union are like dumplings.
Fortunately, at this time the Soviet Union did not have many such large-caliber anti-tank guns, if the war dragged the Soviets into the winter, so that Stalin had a chance to breathe, the long winter of the Soviet Union would provide Stalin with enough time to produce weapons and equipment and reorganize the troops, and at the same time there was British and American assistance, once this situation happened, the defeat of Germany was an irreversible trend.
Now there are two roads in front of Zhang Jun, the first road is to go straight to Liangzan on the outskirts of Moscow along the railway, so that you can merge with Rommel and take Liangzan directly, of course, there will be a lot of sacrifices, Rommel can of course complete the task of encircling Moscow before winter after receiving the support of Zhang Jun's one million SS troops.
Surround Moscow, and Moscow will surrender? No, Stalin will never surrender, Stalin will definitely choose to resist desperately to the end, and when winter comes, Germany will have no way to attack Moscow, this situation will become Germany encircling Moscow in the ice and snow outside Moscow, and the harsh weather makes these troops have no way to attack, and at the same time they have to face the ** inside and outside Moscow, so as not to let the Soviets break through the encirclement.
And the weapons factories in the rear of the Soviet Union will produce weapons in large quantities throughout the winter and arm the Soviet army, and after the winter, the military strength of the Soviet Union will reach more than 10 million.
This road does not work, the other way is to attack Stalingrad with Moder, Zhang Jun has a million newly transferred SS troops in his hands, plus more than one million EU troops commanded by Moder, of course, Stalingrad can be defended by 600,000 to 900,000 people.
The question is to take Stalingrad, how long will it take, how many troops need to be lost in the city of Stalingrad, Zhang Jun estimates that after this month of strengthening Stalingrad, there are sufficient weapons and ammunition, and the fortifications are perfect, even if Zhang Jun has more than 2 million troops in his hands, Stalingrad is only as big as that, so many troops cannot be lined up at all, so it will take at least 20 days to take Stalingrad, and the loss of troops will not be less than 300,000.
In addition, the Soviets' "Bazooka" anti-tank weapons will also destroy a large number of German tanks in street battles, and even the Shanzhai Type 99 tanks are also very dangerous in street battles, and the Shanzhai Type 99 chrysanthemums can not withstand the attack of the "Bazooka" Type 60.
The above two roads are not feasible, Zhang Jun chooses either road is to fall into the cycle of history, but Zhang Jun quickly found a third way, that is, not to take the Rommel route, not to fight Stalingrad, Zhang Jun led his troops directly into the city that Vincent is still holding - Orsk, rescued Vincent and then went straight to the heart of the Soviet Union - the Ural Industrial Zone.
Didn't the USSR want to drag the war into the winter? Since Germany has no way to completely solve the Soviet Union before winter, Zhang Jun plans to go sideways and directly occupy the Soviet Union's nest, once the Soviet Union loses the Ural industrial zone, it will be a sick cat without minions, and Germany is sending troops to occupy the northern ports of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will soon be finished.
This offensive line is very dangerous, once successful, Germany will firmly hold the absolute initiative on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has absolutely no possibility of turning over, lose the Ural industrial region and at the same time cut off all the railways in the Far East, all the Soviet troops in Moscow can only be trapped to death, Moscow in the absence of foreign aid, absolutely not for long, it is really not possible Germany can also send troops to Finland, attack from Finland, directly occupy several major ports in the north of the Soviet Union, cut off the communication between these ports and Moscow.
Since Zhang Jun decided to gamble on his life, he immediately began to take action, first drawing up a strategic plan, and then asking Rommel and Moder to deduce, after they agreed, Zhang Jun still reported this strategic plan to Hitler, of course, Hitler did not approve Zhang Jun's telegram.
Zhang Jun's troop arrangement was that Zhang Jun personally led 800,000 new SS troops, including 6 armored divisions, directly into the Ural industrial zone, and Moder led the European Union army with 1.5 million to defend Stalingrad, plus 200,000 SS troops, including two armored divisions. Rommel commanded 700,000 SS troops in the assault on Liangzan, including twelve panzer divisions. Ike led 300,000 SS troops to the three Baltic countries first, then went to Finland by boat, and then attacked the ports of the northern part of the Soviet Union from Finland.
