Chapter XXIV
In later generations, on the Soviet-German battlefield of the Second World War, especially in mid-January 1943, many later military scholars discussed the battle situation of the German army breaking through the Soviet Caucasus defense line, fully occupying the North Caucasus, and strategically suppressing the Transcaucasian Front.
Discussing only from the military aspect, without considering other factors such as national justice and national catastrophe, most military scientists regret the performance of the German army after this point. They generally believed that if Germany had not been on the verge of exhaustion of human resources at that time, it had been able to mobilize about 30~500,000 troops from the rear, whether it was to reinforce the German Army Group A in the Caucasus, and under the advantage of air supremacy at that time, it would have completely occupied the Transcaucasian region, defeated or completely annihilated the Transcaucasian Front of the Soviet Army, inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet Black Sea Fleet and the Azov Sea Fleet, and completely swept away the threat of the Soviet Army in the Caucasus, and then it would have been able to achieve a strategic advantage on the southern front that would change the outcome of the war in the future.
Moreover, even if the reinforced 30~500,000 troops were not put into the Caucasus, but the German 6th Army Group in the Stalingrad area and the German Army Group B in the upper reaches of the Don River could be launched, then it would be possible to launch a decisive general attack, break through the defense line of the Soviet Stalingrad Front and the Don Front on the other side of the river (these two fronts were extremely lacking in heavy weapons at that time), and then attack the Soviet defense line in the middle of the Soviet-German battlefield from the flank and rear, with the offensive of the German Army Group of the Central Front, It is very likely that the defense line of the entire central battlefield of the Soviet army will be completely broken through, disintegrated and broken, resulting in the collapse of the central army group of the Soviet army. and then broke through the central defense line of the Soviet army for more than 200 kilometers from the military strategy, cutting off the connection between the Soviet army in the north of Muscovy and the army of the South Caucasus; In terms of economic materials, the transfer of materials from the south of the Soviet Union to the north was also cut off.
If the above strategic objectives were achieved, the collapse of the Soviet Union's armies on all fronts in the central battlefield would result in Germany having a huge salient advantage of more than 200 kilometers long and 300 kilometers wide. Subsequently, if the German army marches northward, then Germany will re-encircle Moscow, cut off all its contact with the outside world, and really turn Moscow into an isolated city, strategically encircling the Soviet Union's northern army group, if the encirclement and annihilation campaign finally ends with the victory of the German army, the entire form of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War will plummet, and the destruction of the Soviet army's northern army group will not only be in strength, but also mentally (Moscow fell) to hit the confidence of the entire Soviet military and civilian resistance against Japan. At the same time, the Soviet troops in the north, center, and south were all heavily damaged, and it took a considerable amount of time to recover, so they had to carry out a strategic retreat, stretch out the pre-war period, and rely on logistics to slow down the pace of the German offensive, but the essence of the Soviet Union, the European region, would fall under the iron heel of the German army!
It is a pity that the German army was depleted of human resources (in fact, it was not well conceived, at that time the German rear women were still at home with children, and did not enter the factories to engage in production, while the United States had already entered the wartime system, men were basically engaged in war, and women were engaged in logistics. When Germany realized this problem and began to do so, it was too late, the training of new recruits took a certain amount of time, and the Allies had no time to give him), and these people could not be gathered in a short time, and both sides temporarily stopped attacking for their own reasons (one waiting, the other waiting for equipment). The date of Wang Fan's return is exactly the buffer period of the war.
In the Stalingrad area, the headquarters of the German Sixth Army, Paulus was in the room, and Paulus, who was looking through the reports of the troops, suddenly heard a voice:
"Hey, Paulus, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look good!" The Pseudo-Bismarck appeared shamelessly again.
"Hello, Mr. John, it's so nice to see you!" Seeing Wang Fan for the first time, Paulus couldn't help but reply happily. You can't blame him for his gaffe, at first it didn't matter after Wang Fan left, but after 1 week, he began to receive telegrams from the German High Command and Manstein, asking His Excellency Bismarck of the cottage company if he would come back and report as soon as he returned. The frequency of telegrams from the German High Command and Manstein became more and more frequent as time went on, until Paulus simply sent a regular telegram every night: "Ou Jinying" has not returned (the code name they gave Wang Fan: Ou Jinyin, shaped like a sparrow, covered with feathers that change from green to yellow, is one of the top ten birds in Europe in terms of population. Confusing the Allied intelligence agency with an ordinary name also means that Wang Fan carries a lot of supplies)
"Haha, I'm also very happy to see you, how have you been doing, has the attack been going well? I remember when I left, the Caucasian campaign was about to begin! ”
"It can only be said that the campaign goal has been initially achieved, but it has not been completed 100%!" Paulus briefly described the German Army Group A breaking through the North Caucasus defense line, but it was in a bitter battle in the Transcaucasus, and now the German and Soviet sides in the southern theater have just entered the stage of "stalemate".
"Although it was a haste to inquire when we first met, I still want to ask, has the second batch of weapons ordered last time arrived?" Paulus said bluntly.
"Of course no problem!" Wang Fan said and waved his hand.
"Great, so I can rest assured, with this batch of supplies, the next plan can start smoothly!"
"Oh? Have you made a new offensive plan? Wang Fan asked curiously, after all, Paulus had run out of ammunition and food at this time in history, and the Soviet army was carrying out a major counteroffensive in the southern battlefield, and now in this time and space, the German army, under the influence of Wang Fan, not only did not cope with the counterattack of the Soviet Union, but also could deploy troops more leisurely to carry out a new offensive, Wang Fan was more curious about where they would attack.
"Hmm...", hearing Wang Fan's inquiry, Paulus was hesitant, after all, this is a military secret, but Wang Fan's identity is very special, "Please wait, I need to send a telegram first, and then come back to explain to you, okay?" ”
"Of course, you can!!"
"Guard, make a cup of coffee for Mr. John," Paulus commanded the soldier at the door before going out.
Wang Fan looked at the steaming coffee cup and couldn't help but be happy, there was a coffee pot on top of the kerosene stove, and it was the instant coffee he brought, "It seems that Paulus has also fallen, I hope he won't go from luxury to simplicity, hehe", holding the coffee cup, tasting the familiar taste of 21st century coffee, Wang Fan couldn't help but carefully look at Paulus's office furnishings: there is a map in German on the left wall, Wang Fan doesn't know German, and after asking Yadi Blue, he learned that it should be the Barbarossa plan for the German army to attack the Soviet Union, There is a larger map hanging on the wall in the middle, Wang Fan understands it, it should be the distribution map of the respective defense lines of the Soviet Union and Germany in the Stalingrad area, which is relatively messy, and it seems that with the update of intelligence, it has been revised and modified! Close to the window but in the position of shooting dead end, there is a wooden office desk with several stacks of documents on it, because they are all German "heavenly books", Wang Fan really has no interest in reading them. Coupled with the fact that there is a lot of floating soil in the house, Wang Fan can't help frowning at the comfort of this office space. And just as Wang Fan was looking left and right, an encrypted telegram was sent to Berlin and Manstein, and the telegram read: Ou Jinyi has returned!
