Chapter 1953 Torch Project

Xiaonanhai, a small conference room in Xuanwu Building. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the Holy Church

"Four urgent telegrams were sent from intelligence stations in Europe at short intervals, and Hitler convened a secret military conference in Berlin to carry out the 'torch' operation plan from now on, and it was expected that between the 12th and 15th of this month, an attack on all fronts would be launched against us.

"Today, in Transjordan, Syria, Turkey, and the Caucasus border region, the German army has quietly assembled 50 to 60 divisions, and the follow-up strength is rapidly increasing. At the same time, the Nazi government began to consciously remove the military posts of Chinese who served in the German ** team. ”

Du Yi went straight to the point and reported the emergency to An Yi.

An Yi stood up and asked with a shocked face: "Wasn't the German army pinned down in Moscow by the Soviets?" How could they mobilize troops to go south, fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers, can't Hitler even wait for two or three months? ”

Du Yi patiently explained:

According to the content of this meeting, after the German army won the Battle of Stalingrad, the German Southern Cluster and the Caucasus Cluster only transferred about a quarter of their troops to the north, and then joined the volunteers sent by other European countries to attack Moscow from the Kursk and Tula regions, and its main forces were withdrawn to the rear in the name of rest, but in fact they were transferred to the Caucasus, Turkey and the Middle East.

"On the battlefield of Moscow, after the Germans occupied the Kremlin and Red Square, Hitler secretly ordered to slow down the pace of the offensive to attract the attention of the world, but quietly transferred two tank clusters south by rail. Since the 'torch' plan was only known to Hitler, Goering, Jodl and the officials who specifically formulated the plan, even the commander-in-chief of the SS Heydrich was kept in the dark, and it was not until yesterday that the German Supreme Military Council was convened that the 'nails' learned of this information, and then the intelligence services immediately began to verify and finally determined the plan of the Germans! ”

An Yi had regained his composure at this time, sat down and thought calmly for a while, and looked at Chen Yu: "What did the CIA find?" ”

Chen Yu calmly reported:

"More than 60 projects that Germany has cooperated with us, including the Honghe Yuechi Hydropower Station, Lujiang Xuanguang Hydropower Station, Tuojiang and Binh Hydropower Station, Nanhe Sirikit Hydropower Station, Xihe Lanbao Reservoir, Thumba Railway (Hue to Pakse), Vang Vieng Railway (Vientiane to Vinh City), Quy Su Railway (Quy Nhon to Surin), Taiyuan Wind Engine Factory, Ha Long Cable Factory, New Jinghua De Benz Automobile Factory, Quy Nhon Dye Factory, Saigon Fertilizer Factory, Jingnan Bearing Factory, Vientiane Engine Factory and other construction projects, have recently been suspended for various reasons. German engineers and technicians are returning home one after another.

"According to our survey, less than a quarter of the Germans are now stranded in South China and Southwest China, and according to the feedback from neighbors and friends, they all plan to leave by the 12th, which shows that the situation has indeed reached an emergency point."

An Yi groaned for a while, and had already made a judgment: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the Germans are really going to turn their faces!" Speaking of this, An Yi sighed with emotion: "Our cooperation with the Germans can be traced back to the cooperation between me and Hans of Lu Lin when I was in Guangzhou, and with my visit to Germany in three years, the bilateral cooperation relationship was officially confirmed, and so far, we have gone through a seventeen-year honeymoon period with Germany, and now everything will come to naught before the war." (《》)”

Du Yidao: "Speaking of Mr. Hans of Lu Lin Foreign Company, he is also affectionate, after he returned to Germany as general manager in 37 years, he still maintained a close cooperative relationship with us, helping us to introduce many patents and inventions in basic industries, making up for our shortcomings.

"We were able to open our company in Germany and its occupied territories in a very short period of time thanks to Mr. Hans. Recently, we sold the German property, and the Lulin Group also bought it at the market price, and did not care about it, which saved us a lot of trouble, and we have donated the remaining properties that are difficult to deal with to various universities and churches in accordance with your instructions...... Now that most of the employees have returned to China, the few who remain can be evacuated at any time. ”

An Yi nodded: "Withdraw, withdraw, since the Germans are making a big show of evacuating overseas Chinese, there is no need for us to hide it, we should withdraw, just withdraw after withdrawing...... By the way, will Chinese people like 'Nail', who have sworn German citizenship, be affected by this purge? ”

"Not yet, but I don't know what the future holds!"

Du Yi thought for a while, and said: "Judging from the fact that Hitler did not inform Heydrich of the 'torch' plan this time, Hitler had a certain vigilance and suspicion of the 'nail', and Heydrich, who had always reused the 'nail', was inevitably impacted. I am afraid that Heydrich will take a 'nail' in order to preserve his identity and position. ”

An Yi waved his hand:

"You called Nail on my behalf and asked him what he was going to do next. If he wants to return to China, we will make proper arrangements, our 'Xia'-class nuclear submarine is currently cruising in the Norwegian waters of the Atlantic, and we can rescue our heroes safely at any time! ”

"Okay, I'll pass the chairman's greetings to him immediately, and everything will be done according to his wishes." Du Yi gladly accepted the order.

An Yi stood up: "Without further ado, your intelligence department will immediately strengthen the monitoring of Germany, and every move of the Nazi Party high-level will be collected and recorded for me, from the high-level of the Nazi Party to the special words and deeds of ordinary people." It's time for the top-down intelligence network that we have laid out in Germany all these years to come into play! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Du Yi then stood up, his eyes full of confidence.

You must know that the Ministry of National Security is not only responsible for the placement of intelligence personnel studying abroad, but also took over the intelligence agency of the Ou Group, after years of development, there are their own intelligence personnel at all levels in European countries, and there are about thousands of white people working for the Ministry of National Security. At this time, the Ministry of National Security had a much more powerful grasp of European and American intelligence than the South China Central Intelligence Agency and the Intelligence Department of the General Staff of the An Jiajun.

......

Ten hours later, in the dead of night.

In the underground conference room of the General Staff Building of Duzhu Temple, the lights were bright, and the enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission of Nanhua was officially held. (《》)

The reason why the meeting was delayed for so long was that An Yi needed to summon the senior officials of all the ministries except those who joined the North Korean army to Xinjing to discuss this important matter that might affect the future and fate of Nanhua.

When convening the people, An Yi personally called Yang Jiuxiao, on the one hand, informing him of the meeting, and on the other hand, ordering all officers and soldiers of the West Asia Military Region to stop their holidays, and all departments to enter the highest state of alert.

An Yi sat on the main seat, the first on the left hand side was Yin Jinan, and under this row were Zhang Chengzhu, Xia Jian, Zhao Rui, Ye Cheng, Ding Zhicheng, Yang Jiuxiao, An Jin, Jiao Guangxu, Wu Liheng and other generals who were in charge alone, the first on the right hand was Hu Jialin, and then the deputy chief of the general staff Yang Fei, Yang Jie, Huang Zhi, Deng Bin, secretary general of the Central Military Commission, and Zhao Dongquan, director of the General Office, Lu Guang, commander of the Navy, Huang Binyi, commander of the Air Force, Zhan Dao, director of the General Political Department, and Chang Baofang, director of the General Logistics Department, and other senior members of the General Headquarters.

Behind the two rows of generals sitting opposite each other were the principal generals of the Guards Cluster and the group armies under the jurisdiction of various armies, as well as senior generals of various departments under the three general departments of the Central Military Commission, deputy officers and chiefs of staff of various military regions.

When the old brothers met, they were very affectionate, and after greeting for more than ten minutes, An Yi coughed lightly, and then he got to the point.

An Yi stood up and apologized first:

"I'm sorry, brethren, I thought that because of the continued resistance of the Soviets, the war between us and Germany would be delayed until the beginning of next year, and it was even possible that the Soviets would gather enough troops to fight back in the winter and drive the Germans out of Moscow, thus creating a peaceful and stable situation for us...... However, the situation changed quickly, and according to the latest intelligence, it was expected that the war between Germany and us would begin in the middle of this month...... Liu Qing, you can report on the current situation. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qing, director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Department, who was sitting in the second row behind Hu Jialin, stood up and gave a general explanation of the strategy adopted by the Germans to "cross the sea in secret and secretly cross Chen Cang" and the general situation of the German army's "torch" plan against South China.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and Yin Jinan blurted out in disbelief: "Big brother, has the intelligence been verified?" ”

An Yi replied with a wry smile: "Who dares to joke about this kind of thing?" It is already the early morning of the third day, and it will be half a month at most, and the situation will be clear...... Whether it's true or not, we can't take it lightly. ”

Yin Jinan was frustrated for a while, and then said solemnly:

"Big brother, if the Germans really fight, I am willing to go to the front line and lead the troops to fight them...... I have been in Germany for several years, and I have been talking to their generals many times, and I am familiar with their fighting methods, and I want to let them know the serious consequences of betraying their friends. ”

An Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Yin Jinan, who had always had a steady personality, would take the initiative to ask Ying, and thought about it: "Jinan, it's not too late for you to listen to the specific situation on the front line first, and then make a decision." ”

Yin Jinan still wants to ask for battle, the large electronic screen behind An Yi has lit up, and the pictures taken by satellites, high-altitude radar airships and S4 reconnaissance planes have appeared one after another during the day today, and on the electronic map on the side, the environmental changes in recent months have been compared, and the locations that need special attention are clearly marked.

Through detailed graphic materials, the participating generals can clearly feel that many areas that were originally fields, deserts, or meadows are now lined with barracks, many suspicious buildings are rising from the ground, a large number of tanks are marching towards the border line, and the German army is gradually improving the troop allocation along the border line.

At An Yi's suggestion, Deng Bin came to the large map of West Asia hung by the staff officers, picked up the baton, pointed to the map and began to explain:

"Based on a comprehensive analysis of all the information presented in the images, we can basically conclude that the main direction of the German attack is as follows:

"First, the area of Ghaim on the border between the German army on the Euphrates River and the area controlled by our army, where large rivers flow nearby, the land is flat, and the main line of the Asia-West Railway passes through here, which is convenient for supply and conducive to the advance of the mechanized army;

"Second, the border area between the Turkish, Syrian, and Kurdish kingdoms in the Tigris River basin and the Daihuk county of the northern province of our bay, where there are abundant water sources, the Eurasian railway runs through the whole territory, and the terrain is flat.

"Third, the Azerbaijani region at the junction of Persia, Turkey and the Caucasus, there is also a railway connecting the east and west, north and south, although the mountains are continuous, but compared with the surrounding high mountains, several of the canyons are still suitable for the march of the army, it is estimated that this will be the main direction of the German mountain cluster attack!

"To fight a war is to fight logistics, and the more mechanized a force is, the more dependent it is on logistics, so even without these satellites and high-altitude photos, we can basically deduce the direction of the main attack of the German army. The defensive lines and fortresses we built before were basically carried out along these three areas, so from the very beginning, the battle could have evolved into a pattern of German attack and our defense!

"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the enemy will send a partial division to bypass the flank of our army, but our side has all-weather monitoring of military reconnaissance satellites and high-altitude airships, and the enemy's every move is under surveillance, and it is not easy to achieve the suddenness of the surprise attack. Now the crux of the matter is that we can sustain the continuous frontal offensive of the German army! ”

Deng Bin returned to his seat and sat down, and An Yi said to Yang Jiuxiao: "Jiuxiao, let's talk about the deployment and response of your front army first!" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Jiuxiao stood up, strode to the map, and picked up the baton:

"At present, our front army has four motorized infantry armies and two tank armies, of which the 16th Group Army under the command of Lieutenant General Yan Zilin is firmly guarding the Qaim area, the 17th Group Army of Lieutenant General Yu Zeqing is defending the border area of the four countries, and the 18th Group Army of Lieutenant General Cheng Junhua is guarding Azerbaijan.

"These three group armies are all five divisions, two motorized infantry divisions, two Category B infantry divisions, and one armored division, and the layout of the battlefield is that the first-line positions are equipped with Category B infantry divisions to defend, and the motorized infantry divisions are reinforced at any time as a mobile force, and our howitzer brigades, rocket artillery brigades, anti-aircraft artillery brigades, anti-tank brigades, and Spitfire tank regiments are all over the front line, and the armored divisions and tank destroyer brigades, heavy tank regiments, self-propelled cannon regiments, and army aviation brigades are used as strategic decisive forces and are put into battle one by one.

"Based on the combination of our forces and the construction of our defensive line, we are fully confident that we can resist an attack by an enemy three times our size! Of course, the consumption of such a defensive war is also very staggering, and once the supply of ammunition and materials is not available, there will be big problems! ”

An Yi nodded, waited for Yang Jiuxiao to return to his seat and sat down, stood up and said:

"At present, we are facing the following difficulties: First, our troops are being transferred to the west, because the distance between east and west is too far, at least before the outbreak of war, the Southwestern Front and the mountain cluster will not be able to arrive in time, because the railway and road transportation capacity has reached the extreme, it is impossible to mobilize follow-up troops to reinforce it, so in terms of troops, we will be at a disadvantage for a long time;

"Second, the weapons and equipment of the German army are similar to ours, and we can no longer rely on the superiority in weapons and firepower to gain the initiative on the battlefield as we did against the Japanese army in the past, and this will be a hard-fought battle;

"Thirdly, because of our long-term cooperation with the Germans, our army has little secret about the German intelligence services, so that the enemy can fully estimate our strength and make a targeted attack;

"Fourth, the scale of this operation will be unprecedented, and in particular, the scale of the air battle that will determine the air supremacy of the enemy and our friend will be greater than all the major wars we have experienced, and there are certain problems as to whether our air force can withstand the test.

"Of course, our advantages are also extremely obvious, for example, our troops are equipped with medium-range and short-range missiles, jet fighters, surface-to-air missiles, cloud burst bombs, etc., which the Germans do not know, which ensures the suddenness of the strike, and the German army may lose the opportunity in ignorance!

"As for the atomic bomb, I am not going to use it for the time being, because once this ultimate weapon is used, whether it is the Allies or the Axis powers, it will be greatly impacted, and the hostilities will suddenly cease and respond to our threat in unison. We now only have 20 atomic bombs in production and reserves, and it will take at least two years of accumulation to achieve long-range delivery and use as we please, so the war against Germany is still limited to conventional warfare! ”

Yin Jinan stood up again: "Chairman, I ask to give me this sacred and glorious mission, and I promise that as long as I am on the Western Front for a day, I will not let the German army advance an inch!" ”

An Yi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you." However, I don't agree that every inch of land must be fought, and when the battle situation is unfavorable, we can completely abandon everything and retreat in great strides! Bringing the enemy in, stretching the enemy's supply lines, and then gathering superior forces to destroy them is our forte!

"That kind of hard fight has its necessity, but the tactics of annihilating the enemy in the movement can not be easily given up, as for how to choose, I believe you have learned a lot when you studied in the German ** school, and there are many specific combat examples you have seen in recent years, and you must find a balance from it!"

"Yes!"

Yin Jinan showed a confident smile on his face, and immediately saluted An Yi, with a sharp light in his eyes.

At this moment, An Yi's little brother who could have high hopes many years ago was resurrected, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura that made all opponents frightened, and what was about to enjoy all this was the so-called invincible German army on land.
