Chapter 228: Baku Military Intelligence (1)
The gains and losses of the German army in this battle are like those of the British theorist Liddell? "As far as the siege of Kyiv itself is concerned, it can be regarded as a great success," Hart put it. For the German army, it can also be regarded as an unprecedented masterpiece. From a strategic point of view, there seems to be a good reason for that, too. First to protect the southern flank from the threat of an enemy counteroffensive, and then to attack Moscow. Moreover, this strategy was all the more advantageous because of the large number of Soviet Red Army, but its lack of mobility. The Germans could concentrate their forces in different areas and take turns to produce several decisive results. However, the only weakness was that 'time is running out', especially since the German army was not fully prepared for winter operations. "The Germans won the greatest war of annihilation in the history of warfare, but lost the greatest war in the history of warfare.
After the Battle of Kiev, the Red Army had no more reserves, in order to defend Moscow, the Soviet government mobilized 83 divisions with a total of 800,000 men, but only 25 of them were adequately equipped and lacked armored troops and fighters, while on the German side, they had 70 divisions with a total of 2,000,000 men, nearly a third of which were mechanized, which was the highest proportion in the war, and the Typhoon operation against Moscow began on October 2.
As a result of the great victory at Kiev, the great obstacles in the south had been cleared, Army Group South continued its offensive in the Donbass, and the purpose of the southern theater of operations was fully achieved, however, the attack on Moscow was postponed for four weeks, which proved in the subsequent Battle of Moscow, which, despite its tactical success, could only strengthen Germany's strategic superiority on a small scale, because of its main purpose, the decisive victory in the war was not achieved.
When the Soviet troops paid huge losses, they bought time to defend Moscow,
Moreover, the Soviets learned a lesson from this and other encirclement battles, and in the subsequent Battle of Moscow, they avoided being surrounded by German troops.

Windsor was completely cured after this period of cultivation, Zhang Jun originally planned to give Windsor a German SS military position, but unfortunately Windsor always tried his best to refuse, saying that he would not enter the army, but Windsor was happy to serve as Zhang Jun's civilian secretary, which is equivalent to the kind of military employees.
Now the general headquarters of the SS has moved to Rostov, which is more than 400 kilometers away from Stalingrad and more than 700 kilometers away from Baku, Zhang Jun and Rommel have already sent 200,000 elite SS troops to Baku yesterday, these 300,000 SS troops have taken away most of the material, and the remaining materials are simply not enough for Zhang Jun to launch a new campaign, so he can only wait here for the repair of the railway, of course, the Air Force bombing in the direction of Stalingrad is still going to be carried out every day, of course, the Air Force is not going to bomb the city, Instead, it bombed factories and railway and road junctions on the Soviet side.
Whenever Zhang Jun and Rommel discussed the battle situation, Windsor fought behind Zhang Jun very well-behaved, serving tea and water to Zhang Jun and Rommel, Rommel also knew that Windsor was Zhang Jun's lover's little secret, so when discussing the battle situation with Zhang Jun, the two never avoided Windsor, and Windsor learned a lot of the art of command from the discussion between the two, if there is something that he doesn't understand, Windsor will also humbly ask Zhang Jun for advice when sleeping with Zhang Jun.
His lover wants to learn to fight, of course Zhang Jun is unreservedly taught, and even some ancient Chinese military books are read to Windsor, and Zhang Jun will explain to Windsor if he doesn't understand, and Windsor's return, of course, is that the two of them are entangled to death.
"Giggle...... Don't touch anywhere...... Giggle......"
"Why can't you touch it...... It feels silky smooth to the touch...... It's cool! ”
"Giggle...... Tell me what this means...... I'll let you touch ......."
"Huh...... My darling, you ask......"
"Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the country, the food is not for three years, and it is used for the country, because the food is for the enemy, so the army can have enough food. The poverty of the country is far from the teacher, and the people are poor if they are far away; Those who are close to the teacher are expensive, and if they are expensive, the people will be exhausted, and if the wealth is exhausted, they will be anxious to serve. The Central Plains and the inner void are at home, and the people's expenses are seven out of ten; Public expenses, broken armies and horses, armor and arrows, arrows, halberds, shields, spears, and carts, six out of ten. Therefore, the wise will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty minutes; …… What does this mean?"
The gist of this passage is that those who are good at using soldiers do not need to recruit soldiers again and do not need to transport military rations many times. Weapons and equipment were supplied from the country, and from the enemy managed to seize food, so that the army would have enough food and grass. The reason why the country was impoverished by the war was due to the fact that the army went on an expedition and had to carry out long-distance transportation. Long-distance transport inevitably leads to the impoverishment of the population. Prices in the vicinity of the garrison will inevitably soar, and the soaring prices will inevitably lead to the depletion of materials, the depletion of goods, and the inevitable increase of taxes and servitude. On the battlefield, the military is exhausted, the domestic financial resources are exhausted, and the people's private property is depleted by seven-tenths. Sixty-tenths of the property of the public was consumed by the wornness of the vehicles, the exhaustion of the horses, the loss of armour, bows and arrows, spears, shields, ox carts. Therefore, a wise general must settle grain and grass in the enemy's country, and get one minute of grain from the enemy's country, which is equivalent to twenty minutes when it is shipped from his own country, and one stone of fodder in the local area is equivalent to twenty stones when he is shipped from his own country. Therefore, if you want a soldier to fight to the death, you must be angry and motivated.
In order for a soldier to have the courage to seize the enemy's munitions, he must be rewarded with captured goods. Therefore, in a chariot battle, the one who grabs more than ten chariots will be rewarded for being the first to grab the chariot. And the captured chariots should be immediately replaced with our flags, and the stolen chariots should be incorporated into our convoy. Do good to your captives and make them obedient. This is how to defeat the enemy and make yourself stronger. Therefore, the most important and advantageous thing in a war is a quick victory, and the most undesirable thing is a protracted one. Generals who truly know how to use troops and know the benefits and disadvantages of using troops control the life and death of the people and control the security of the country. ”
Windsor put her hand on her cheek and pondered for a while,
"I see, from the present point of view, is it necessary to make the best use of the material resources of the enemy, to strengthen oneself, and at the same time to weaken the enemy, and to be kind to the captives and civilians, so that they will be obedient, as is the policy you have in Poland and Ukraine? Well, yes, that's what you used, and it worked really well. ”
"Ah!!h
This time it was Zhang Jun's turn to be dumbfounded, Windsor, you stupid girl is too powerful, the ancient Chinese military book more than 2,000 years ago, give her a little explanation, he can analyze such a truth. Windsor's military talent did surprise Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun didn't think deeply, but was complacent about it, and in the future, he would have another little secretary with amazing war talent. In the future, Zhang Jun will laugh or cry for Windsor, it is too early to say.
"Jun...... Yes!!! Don't!! …… Woowoo"
Windsor was thrown on the bed by Zhang Jun, who had turned over on the horse, and his mouth was blocked by Zhang Jun's tongue.
"Hmm...... Ah......h
……
Paul is now the commander of the SS Emperor, this time he and the Skeleton Army divided the troops into Baku, these two corps are the old elite armored corps of the SS, two armored corps with a total of eight armored divisions, and fifteen infantry divisions followed them, according to intelligence, the Soviet Union pumped the army to Stalingrad, and there are still 300,000 Soviet troops in the entire Baku area, and Stalingrad has reached 650,000 Soviet troops.
Paul and Ike commanded the troops alone for the second time, the first time was during the exercise with Rommel, and Zhang Junneng provided them with very limited military information, only some aerial photos.
According to the analysis of the photos, the Soviet army abandoned all positions between Rostov and Georgia, and the Soviet Red Army alone in the Baku region was more than 300,000, and with the addition of the strength of the Georgian republic, the total strength of the Soviet army in Baku would not be less than 500,000, and the Soviet Union still had more than 600,000 regular troops in Stalingrad.
Of course, there is no way for these more than 600,000 Soviet troops to come out of Stalingrad to attack Paul and their ass. From the analysis of aerial photographs, the Soviet Union laid out several lines of defense in Georgia, each of which completely cut off the Baku Peninsula, and the depth of this line of defense was very deep, extending all the way to the territory of Azerbaijan, in front of the Baku region.
According to these latest developments, Paul, who had already left Rostov-on-Don, hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhang Jun, explaining the real state of affairs in the Baku region of the Soviet Union. It was not that Paul was timid and did not dare to attack, but that Paul was afraid that if he could not break through the huge and deep defensive positions of the Soviet Union, it would affect the strategic plan of the entire SS.
When Zhang Jun received the telegram, he also felt that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly consulted Rommel about countermeasures:
"My deputy commander-in-chief, I think we're in trouble, the Soviets have invented a tactic specifically to restrain our blitzkrieg, called the Great Depth Strategy, come and see."
"Ahh Knock knock knock ......"
As soon as Rommel heard that the Soviets had invented the latest tactics, he hurriedly threw down the work at hand, ran to Zhang Jun's side, took the telegram from Zhang Jun's hand and looked at it, shook his head very blankly, and said that he didn't understand the latest tactics of the Soviet Union.
The idea of a large-depth operation was first put forward by Soviet military theorists Tukhachevsky, Triandafilov, and Egorov in the 20 s. In their military writings, they made a preliminary exposition of the theoretical principles of large-depth operations.
But due to Stalin's purge policy, this tactic was forced to be interrupted, and now this tactic has been taken seriously by the Soviets again, and they have begun to be used in the battle to defend Baku, you see their defensive position, more than 500 kilometers wide from east to west, with the sea on both sides, we have no way to attack in a roundabout, 700 kilometers deep from north to south.
In such a huge defensive position, the Soviet Union has at least one million troops, of course, their regular army is not so many, but there are a lot of men in Georgia and Azerbaijan, they are all very good cannon fodder troops, don't underestimate these cannon fodder, if they fight to the death, they must give me trouble......
