Chapter 281: Kuibyshev Bridge

In order to defend Moscow, Stalin mobilized all the forces he could to defend Moscow, while the rest of the Soviet Union was much empty. But as long as the Soviet Union is given time, they will arm themselves with enough troops, and Zhang Jun will certainly not give the Soviet Union such a chance.

Why didn't Zhang Jun concentrate his forces to attack a little, this question Zhang Jun also thought about, if he concentrated his forces to attack Moscow, before the winter came, maybe he could take Moscow, but the Soviet Union did not lose the Ural industrial region, the entire long winter of the Soviet Union, is the time for them to recover, at this time the United States has officially declared war on Germany because Germany took France.

The United States played a divisive trick here, only declaring war on Germany, not on the entire European Union, and those countries in the European Union, if they saw Germany's weakness, they would immediately turn against it, so Zhang Jun's best way was to directly take the Soviet Union's weapons production base, and at the same time, in the Moscow Campaign, it attracted the opportunity of the vast majority of the remaining Soviet troops to take the ports in the north of the Soviet Union in one fell swoop and cut off Soviet foreign aid. The Soviet Union, which had lost foreign aid and produced its own weapons, was bound to fall even if it had huge land and population resources.

Rommel and Moder also agreed with Zhang Jun's approach after listening carefully to Zhang Jun's story, now the two million Waffen-SS troops are divided into four directions, and Zhang Jun has no way to do it, fortunately, Zhang Jun's national easing policy is now more and more obvious, the number of SS troops in Russia alone has reached two and a half million, of which Blyukherr led one million to support the Rommel battlefield, and Yegorov led one and a half million to follow Zhang Jun to sweep the occupied Soviet places**, and at the same time establish some defensive positions, Completely divided the Soviet Union into two parts, east and west. As long as Stalin lost the essence of Europe, even if Stalin had the ability to live day out, he would not be able to save the Soviet Union.

On August 1, 1940, Zhang Jun led more than 2 million troops to begin to move along the Soviet railway, because Zhang Jun's troops were very large, so it was necessary to make use of the Soviet railway system as much as possible, from Rostov to Vincent's Orsk, of course, there was a railway connection, but it had to be detoured, that is, starting from Rostov-on-Don, following the route of Rommel's attack, to the Liangzan railway station, and then to Kuibyshev.

The Liangzan railway station has been firmly in Rommel's hands, so don't worry, what worries Zhang Jun the most is the Kuibyshev railway bridge more than 100 kilometers south of Kuibyshev, this railway bridge is more than 3,000 meters long, and there is an infantry regiment of the Soviet army defending it, Zhang Jun must grab this bridge intact so that his troops will not have to be resupplied in the Soviet winter.

If the Soviet army blows up this bridge, it will be very troublesome for Zhang Jun, of course, Zhang Jun can also force the attack, because at this time the Soviet Union's deep forces cannot block Zhang Jun's military peak, but Zhang Jun's future supplies must rely on the railway, and the Kuibyshev railway bridge is more than 3,000 meters long and erected on the Volga River, which is not easy to repair.

The 17th SS Panzer Division served as the vanguard, and their weapons and personnel were to be the first to set out from Liangzan, and the "Storm Commandos" were to seize the Kuibyshev railway bridge for them and hold out until the arrival of the Panzer Division in Flanders.

Flender's Panzer Division was the first to set off, more than a dozen special trains departed on August 1, and arrived at the Liangzan railway station in the afternoon of the same day, after a short rest, Flanders' Panzer Division advanced in the night, the railway from Liangzan to Kuibyshev was not blown up, and I don't know what the Soviets thought, it seems that they also wanted to use this railway system to flank the SS troops under Moscow after they solved the SS in Orsk.

You must know that Vasilevsky's hands also have almost a million Soviet troops storming the city of Orsk, Zhang Juncai and Vincent exchanged a telegram, although Vincent said that he can definitely hold out for a week, but Zhang Jun estimated that Vincent is definitely at the last moment, and now Vincent reported to Zhang Jun that he still has more than 30,000 combat troops, more than 10,000 wounded, and more than 20,000 lightly wounded.

At this time, Vincent was already fighting a fierce battle with Vasilevsky's Soviet troops in the city, and every house and street had to fight each other countless times, and corpses were covering almost every corner of the city.

Vincent's soldiers are one less if they sacrifice one, and the Soviet Union can replenish them at any time, and their wounded can not be transferred, and Vincent's wounded must hold on to the last moment of their lives as long as they can still fight, so Vincent barely kept most of the city of Orsk.

Fortunately, Vincent still has more than 100 copycat Tiger tanks left, and there is danger that you can go to support there, and the rest of the cottage tigers either can't be started because of breakdowns, or they are destroyed, and the Soviet large-caliber anti-tank guns and a small number of 88.9 mm "Bazooka" greatly limit the role of Vincent's tanks.

Vincent, who was originally going to be able to hold out for three months, would lose two or three thousand soldiers a day under the onslaught of Vasilevsky on all sides, and it seems that the arrogant Vincent now finally understands the cruelty of reality, and clearly knows that he can only hold out on to Orsk for a week.

If the "Storm Commando" can successfully take the Kuibyshev railway bridge on the night of August 2, Zhang Jun will be able to completely defeat Vasilevsky's troops and rescue Vincent!!

……

Flender used a train overnight to transport his troops from Liangzan to the Kuibyshev railway bridge, which took about ten hours, and Flender did not know whether the "storm commandos" could successfully seize the Kuibyshev railway bridge, everything depended on the "storm commandos".

Otto, the captain of the "Storm Commando", received an order from the commander-in-chief Zhang Jun as early as August 1, and Otto got very little information, only a few aerial photos, and at the same time there was about a Soviet infantry regiment defending the Kuibyshev railway bridge, as for how the Soviets arranged Otto, I don't know anything.

However, this was not difficult for the battle-hardened Otto, who first borrowed from Yegorov a few former Soviet officers at the rank of colonel and above, who were now members of the Russian SS and hated Stalin unquestionably, so don't worry about them turning back.

It seems that Otto plans to use makeup methods to raid the Soviet troops guarding the bridge, which is not Otto's favorite way, mainly this bridge capture task, under normal circumstances, the defenders have planted explosives on the bridge, and once the situation is not right, the explosives will be detonated, which Otto's mission is considered a failure, so Otto plans to put on makeup on the bridge first, and successively said that he is here to check the bridge defense, first check the explosive device on the bridge, and then he can start destroying the detonating device.

These Soviet officers are real former Soviet officers, both the documents and military uniforms are real Soviet military uniforms and documents, and even the people are real Russians, in this case, it is absolutely impossible to wear them.

At 12 o'clock in the evening of August 2, Otto began to board the plane with more than 500 "storm commandos", and there was also a company of "storm commandos" wearing Soviet uniforms, including several people wearing Soviet colonel-level uniforms, and even one wearing major general's uniforms.

"Buzz...... Buzzing...... Doodoo ...... We have reached the target 20 kilometers away and now we are starting to skydive. ”

The window door of the transport plane was opened, and a stream of cold air rushed inside, but these "storm commandos" had long been accustomed to it and were still parachuting in an orderly manner......

The flight took an hour, and it took Otto thirty minutes to assemble his troops, and then Otto and the group in Soviet uniforms were the first to rush to the Kuibyshev railway bridge, while the "storm commandos" behind were about three kilometers away from Otto.

The distance of twenty kilometers is still very far for ordinary people, but for Otto, it was only a little more than an hour, and Otto's team in front of them did not find any Soviet patrols along the way, and they rushed to the periphery of the Kuibyshev railway bridge very smoothly, and then in the faint moonlight, Otto could already see the majesty of the Kuibyshev railway bridge, spanning the banks of the wide Volga River.

Otto simply confessed, and like an ordinary Soviet soldier, he entered the ranks of soldiers, and now it was those former Soviet officers who led the way, and swaggered towards the Kuibyshev railway bridge with more than 100 people.

"Stop, Password......"

"We're here to check, this is General Viev, don't come and salute yet."

The Soviet soldiers standing guard at the head of the bridge saw from the dim light of the bridge that there was indeed a man who looked like a general, but these people did not answer the command, so one of the two sentries came out, and the other held the gun tightly in his hand and looked nervously out of the ground.

Otto and they are not doing it now, Otto is going to check the defenses and blasting devices.

The Soviet sentry came to Viev, first saluted, and then asked Viyev to show his ID, which was originally genuine, and the Soviet sentry, of course, could not check anything.

"Report to Comrade Viev, Corporal Karna reports to you, I am standing guard."

This Soviet soldier named Kana looked a little dumbfounded, and Otto, of course, they knew that he was standing guard.

"Corporal, use the phone of your post to inform your commander to come here immediately, and say that I have come to check the defense of the Kuibyshev Bridge on the orders of Comrade Stalin, and give him ten minutes, otherwise he will bear the consequences."

"Yes, Comrade Viev, knock knock ......." (To be continued.) )
