Chapter 247: Bloody Orsk (1)
But seeing the countless tanks and machine guns of the SS, these Soviet citizens could only turn back and leave their homes one step at a time, Vincent had to resolutely implement the policy of expulsion, even if he could not bear it in his heart, and now this place of death in Orsk was not the time to realize the policy of national relaxation.
Although Vincent wasted a day's time, but for his 100,000 troops to get a year of food, this problem of course can not be simply said to be worth or not to judge, if the Soviet army's hundreds of thousands of troops, can reach Orsk in a very short time, then Vincent is dangerous to do so, but the Soviet army did not have such a fast reaction speed, Vincent took two days, ran more than 1,000 kilometers, this is simply a move that the Soviet Union did not expect. Vincent estimated that it would take at least five days for a large force of the Soviet army to reach Orsk, and five days was enough time for Vincent to arrange the city defenses.
After expelling the citizens of Orsk, Vincent ordered his four infantry divisions to arrange the city defense, and Vincent asked Zhang Jun for the 12,000 trucks of materials for weapons and ammunition, of course, there were 3,000 trucks of fuel, 2,000 trucks of food, 7,000 trucks of ammunition, each truck counted as five tons, Vincent had at least 30,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, which was enough for Vincent to hold out for three months, of course, it was important to determine the intensity of the battle, after all, the SS air supply was only fifty**- 29, up to two hundred tons of supplies per day.
Vincent, on the other hand, had 120,000 troops, and once the whole of Orsk was in flames on all sides, the ammunition consumption was also very staggering. In addition, other damage in the war must also be considered, so Vincent estimated his ammunition reserves for three months in the event of a full-scale war.
It is impossible to complete the first and second stages of the Barbarossa plan in three months, and when Zhang Jun received Vincent's telegram, of course, he was very surprised, and a dead move thrown by himself was considered to have reached the designated position, and it was up to Stalin to make a move. According to the analysis of the intelligence sent by German spies, Stalin mobilized almost 800,000 regular troops to encircle and suppress these bold SS troops, and Vincent's more than 100,000 men were trapped in a lonely city, and it was still extremely dangerous to face an enemy eight times his size, and the Soviet Union could be reinforced at any time.
Zhang Jun and Rommel discussed carefully, what Vincent needed most at this time, Zhang Jun and Rommel discussed for a long time, Vincent should have everything, that is, the air defense force is a little worse, as a result, Zhang Jun and Rommel combined, decided to use a day and a night to transport an air defense division to Vincent, of course, Vincent also has anti-aircraft guns, but the number is not very large, and these anti-aircraft guns can also be used against Soviet infantry and tanks, which is a weapon for many hours.
As for the two aviation regiments assigned to Vincent, when Vincent will clean up the square in Orsk, the two aviation regiments will be in place at what time, one aviation regiment has one hundred and sixty-four aircraft, and the two regiments have a total of three hundred and twenty-eight aircraft, of which five brigades are "six masters" fighters and four horizontal bomber groups, as for how Vincent uses these air forces, that is Vincent's own business.
Of course, Vincent will not ignore the role of the air force, after expelling the citizens of Orsk, Vincent ordered to clean up the Orsk Square with all his might, this work is not heavy, it can be completed in half a day, and when Vincent put the square in order, he immediately sent a telegram to the General Command requesting the Air Force to be stationed in Orssk. However, what made Vincent happy was that not only the entire two aviation regiments came, but also the commander-in-chief brought an anti-aircraft artillery division, which Vincent was grateful, and the most feared thing about the city's defense was the large-scale bombing of the Soviet Union, if all the buildings were bombed into ruins, then Vincent would have no way to defend.
For the defense of the city, but it is not possible to completely retreat into the city to defend, that is in the absence of a situation, Vincent will do that. If all the troops were placed in the city, as long as the Soviets were willing to bombard it with a large number of shells, the area of Orsk, which was not very large, would be in ruins in less than a month.
In response to this situation, Vincent deployed all four SS infantry divisions outside the city, you must know that Vincent still has more than 20,000 transport troops in his hands, and more than 20,000 people have become Vincent's supplementary soldiers and city defense forces. Don't use rigid passive defenses.
Of course, the advantages of Vincent's arrangement are also reasonable, he has three fully equipped Tiger heavy tank divisions in his hands, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting three directions at the same time, as long as there is the protection of the air force, Vincent believes that his tanks can definitely play an absolute role, and if he puts his tank division in the city, the role will be greatly reduced.
Regardless of whether Vincent's arrangement is correct or not, since Vincent, as the commander of the front line, of course has the right to fight according to his own ideas, Vincent's arrangement can even be made without consulting Zhang Jun, and only needs to report his tactical arrangements to Zhang Jun.
On April 8, Vincent had just set up the positions outside Orsk, and more than 800,000 Soviet troops began to reach the perimeter of Orsk, and after these 800,000 Soviet troops arrived in Orsk, they did not attack immediately, but surrounded Orssk, and at the same time used a large number of excavators to dig several anti-tank trenches around the entire Orsk.
Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the deep reason is that the front-line commander of the Soviet army this time is General Vasilevsky, this person is much more stable, and the evaluation of him by later generations is also very high, "The instructor of the Stalingrad ** operation, the reconquistalist of Crimea and the destroyer of Königsberg, the most talented general outside the troika of the Soviet Army." This man's outstanding military prowess can be seen.
Originally, General Vasilevsky was presiding over the deployment of Moscow, because the German Wehrmacht was attacking fiercely, and the number and weapons were not less than that of the Soviet Army.
In this way, the Soviet Union will have enough time to arm itself, finally win the final victory, and wait for the changes in the international situation. Stalin accepted the advice of General Vasilevsky and asked General Vasilevsky to fully organize the arming of Moscow. However, an unexpected situation arose, and Germany suddenly sent more than 100,000 troops and a large amount of war materials to the Soviet Union's Eurasian demarcation line -- Orsk -- like crazy.
As long as the German army firmly occupies this place, it can bomb the Eurasian Railway and the Ural industrial area of the Soviet Union at any time, which is tantamount to cutting the Soviet Union into two halves that are not connected with each other, and at the same time directly threatens the source of the Soviet Union's continuation of the war -- the Ural industrial zone, if this situation occurs, the collapse of the Soviet Union is inevitable, Stalin is not ignorant of strategy, of course, he also saw the sinister intentions of Zhang Jun, commander-in-chief of the German SS, and hurriedly dispatched his most capable and capable general -- General Vasilevsky.
General Vasilevsky received Stalin's order, and hurriedly dispatched troops to Orsk, the importance of Orsk, of course, was very clear, it can be said that Orsk at this time was a city related to the life and death of the Soviet Union, and these German SS troops must be eliminated as soon as possible, even if countless soldiers were sacrificed, they did not hesitate.
However, General Vasilevsky did not blindly use troops, but after carefully analyzing some of the situation of the SS in Orsk, he suggested that Stalin put down his head, lower his stature, put aside political differences, and immediately send high-ranking officials to visit Britain, France, and the United States, and even sign an anti-EU alliance treaty with them.
Because General Vasilevsky carefully analyzed the overall situation and suggested that Stalin do this, the rogue states of the European Union that Germany was entangled with had a total of more than 8 million troops attacking the Soviet Union, while the regular army of the Soviet Union was only 5.5 million, and it was a purge of troops, and the combat effectiveness was indeed very poor, and it can be seen from the Soviet-Finnish war that the third-rate army like the Finnish army made the Soviet Red Army pay a very heavy price. This made General Vasilevsky see very clearly the real combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.
The strength of the army is not superior, the quality of the soldiers is not as good as the EU army, not to mention weapons and technology, in this case, the Soviet Union, if it wants to rely on its own strength, it is already impossible to defeat the invasion of the EU alone, so General Vasilevsky suggested that Stalin find an alliance with Britain, France and the United States.
Don't you understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? Of course, I understand, don't think that the military commanders of the capitalist countries are idiots, that's the best nonsense, the leaders of the countries of Britain, France and the United States all know that once the EU has eliminated the Soviet Union, after the EU obtains the inexhaustible minerals of the Soviet Union, the next step for the EU is to turn around and sweep Britain, France and the United States, but these imperialist countries have their own small calculations to see when it is most advantageous to enter the war.
The most favorable time is, of course, when the EU and the Soviet Union are both defeated, and when they are exhausted, the best situation is that the last EU soldier kills the last Soviet soldier, and then Britain, France and the United States each send one soldier to eliminate the only remaining EU soldier, so that Britain, France and the United States can divide the fruits of victory, of course, this is only the good wishes of the imperialist countries.
