The German attack in the south did not go well, and the defense line in the northern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains held by the Second Army of the Chinese Army could not be broken through, which made the German high command very annoyed, Wilhelm II even thundered in his palace, Field Marshal Hindenburg had to take the risk of ordering another 500,000 troops from the Eastern Front to go south, which in the eyes of many generals in the German high-level is definitely eating the heart of a leopard, although an armistice agreement was signed with the Soviet and Russian sides, but at this time the entire Eastern Front can not be left in a state of emptiness, right?

The armistice agreement was signed, but the three million troops deployed on the defensive line by the Soviet Russian side have not yet retreated, once the Soviet Russian side turns its face, the consequences are very serious, after the 500,000 troops are transferred south from the Eastern Front again, the German army will only have 500,000 troops on the Eastern Front, and these 500,000 troops will not only be stationed in western Ukraine, but also in Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and so on. Once the partisans in these places learned of the lack of German forces and then went out on a large scale, the Germans would not have enough troops to suppress them in this area, and the situation would likely erod. However, the German high command still tightly sealed the news while deploying troops, but the German army could only block the channels for the guerrillas to obtain information, but could not prevent the intelligence services of various countries from obtaining this information.

It was already an open secret that the German army had two million men on the Eastern Front at the beginning, and this time the Chinese army went south to attack the army, first one million people were drawn, and it was not long before another 500,000 were drawn, and only 500,000 remained. Elementary school students will do this math problem.

The German rear was empty, this was a German thing. At this time, the German army of 1.5 million troops was fiercely attacking the line of Truskavets and Ivano Frankivsk, at the northern foot of the Carpathian Mountains, which were garrisoned by the Chinese army, and the Chinese army was desperately resisting. This is an indisputable fact.

In the previous offensive, the Chinese Air Force occupied air supremacy and carried out large-scale bombing of the German attacking forces, causing great casualties to the German army.

I have to say, this method is very good. With the current flight technology and the performance of fighter planes, there are really not many pilots who can fly at night, and the Chinese army has bombed many airfields of the German army on the west coast of France at night, and the reason why it can succeed is because the bombing is a fixed target, and it is also successful with the cooperation of a large number of intelligence personnel of the Allied countries, but this time it is different.

The Germans used the method of resting during the day and attacking at night very well, and the Chinese army was beaten and caught off guard. Losing three lines of defense in succession for three consecutive days, the Chinese army had to retreat on a large scale, and the German army took the opportunity to occupy the Chinese position.

The unfavorable news of the battle situation on the front made Cai Guodong worried, and he gave an order to Zhang Xiaozhun. If it is not possible to hold the line of Truskavets and Ivanovankovsk, the whole army will retreat to the line of Mukachevo, Koroya, Chernivtsi.

Zhang Xiaozhun led his troops to hold the front line in Truskavets and Ivano-Frankivsk for a week, losing more than 200,000 people. Only when the situation was extremely unfavorable had he to lead his troops to withdraw to the front line of Mukachevo, Koroya, and Chernivtsi, relying on the natural geographical advantages of the Carpathian Mountains to resist the German army's continued southward advance.

German offensive. Some achievements have been made, some land has been occupied. But it also paid a very heavy price, the number of casualties was not less than that of the Chinese army, the Chinese army, under the command of Zhang Xiaozhun, retreated very calmly, the wounded and logistics were all transferred, and the German army got nothing but a scorched earth.

The unfavorable news of the war situation in the western theater also made Xiao Zhenlei, who was far away in China, restless, and the current situation is that the 300,000 German troops besieged in the Transylwasinian Plateau have not yet surrendered, and the 150,000 German troops from the north are attacking Zhang Xiaozhun's Second Army with all their might, and the three group armies previously used to attack the Transvassinian Plateau have a total of 900,000 people, and they have lost more than 60,000 people in the battle, and more than 100,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness, and there are still 700,000 people left, and now these 700,000 people are all used to besiege the 300,000 German troops. There was no way to get out, so there were no extra troops to go north to help Zhang Xiaozhun's Second Army resist the German attack from the north.

Xiao Zhenlei heard Jiang Fangzhen's report and said: "The situation is not good for us, the current situation is to see who can't hold it first, if the first, fifth, and sixth armies solve the besieged 300,000 German troops before the German army from the north defeats Zhang Xiaozhun's second army, then this battle will be won by our side, but if the 300,000 German troops are not resolved, Zhang Xiaozhun's second army will be defeated by the 1.5 million German troops from the north, then we will lose this battle!" ”

Jiang Baili nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, Cai Guodong only used 700,000 people to besiege 300,000 elite German troops is already a very risky move, you must know that the 300,000 elite German troops are not soft persimmons, only 2.5 times the strength of the siege, too risky!" You must know that the trapped beast is still fighting."

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and thought about it, first affirmed Jiang Baili's opinion, he said: "What you said makes sense, if it is under normal circumstances, it is indeed a very risky move to besiege the enemy army with only two and a half times the force, but I think Cai Guodong has the confidence to do this, although the Transwasinia Plateau is a plateau, the terrain is similar to the basin, it is not easy for our army to break in, but it is not easy for the German army to break through, after all, the terrain restrictions make it impossible for the forces of both sides to deploy, Fight can only be fought at the various passages in and out of this plateau! ”

Jiang Baili worried: "I'm worried that Zhang Xiaozhun's troops will not be able to hold out to the first, fifth, and sixth armies to solve the 300,000 German troops who are surrounded, after all, their troops are at an absolute disadvantage, and their weapons and equipment are much worse, and at present, the German army has given up attacking during the day and attacking at night, which makes our air force advantage disappear, and the most important point is that the supply of ammunition is too difficult, after all, they are in the forefront, we have to transport ammunition over, and we have to transport it along the periphery of the Carpathian Mountains, the distance is too far, The traffic is also not convenient! ”

Xiao Zhenlei affirmed the question raised: "You said that this problem cannot but arouse our attention, I think so, the previous transport route can not be interrupted, we must continue to do our best to transport ammunition over, in addition to the transfer of large transport aircraft to implement large-scale air transport in the past, now the weather is warmer, the conditions for the aircraft to fly to the north are much better, it should be feasible to use air transportation, but to strengthen the control of air supremacy, can not let the Luftwaffe sneak attack the transport aircraft formation!" ”

Jiang Baili agreed: "Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as I go back!" ”

"And ??????" Xiao Zhenlei said this, pondered for a moment and said: "I think we can find a way to make a little noise in the rear of the German army, so that the German army cannot attack our army with all its strength!" ”

Jiang Baili was puzzled and asked, "What does the president mean???????? ”

Xiao Zhenlei walked to the map, picked up the command whip, and drew a circle on the map of western Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and other places, and said: "The German army has two million people on the entire eastern front, which you and I both know, and now the German army has just signed an armistice agreement with Soviet Russia and can't wait to transfer 1.5 million people, and the German army stationed in this vast area is only 500,000 people. Then that means that there are only 200,000 German troops in these areas, and I do not believe that the partisans in these areas will be indifferent when they hear this! ”

Jiang Baili listened to Xiao Zhenlei's explanation, and suddenly realized, and said with great joy: "Yes, we must now find a way to get in touch with the guerrillas in those areas, convey the current situation to them, and support them, and find a way to replenish them with some weapons and ammunition, so that they can make trouble in the belly of the Bull Demon King!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Hindenburg's risk is too big, does he take all of us for fools?" I don't think he would have thought of it if he had left a million people in those areas, but he was so bold that he left only 500,000 people to garrison such a large piece of land, and if we didn't do something about it, we would be sorry for his generosity! I'll deal with this matter, you go and urge the logistics department and the air force to transfer the transport planes as soon as possible, the supply side must keep up, give Zhang Xiaozhun a death order, and you must resist the German attack for me, even if the Second Army is all wiped out, it will not hesitate! ”

"Understood!" Jiang Fangzhen saluted and left.

After Jiang Fangzhen left, Xiao Zhenlei immediately called Wang Yaqiao, director of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, and summoned him to teach him face-to-face, Wang Yaqiao immediately began to deploy after receiving Xiao Zhenlei's instructions, it is obvious that he is very good at this, especially assassination and subversive actions are definitely his forte.

Within a few days, rumors spread everywhere in the German-occupied eastern part of Russia that most of the German troops had been taken to attack the Chinese army, and that there were pitifully few German troops in various places.

At first, the partisans did not believe much of the news, believing that it was a trick played by the Germans, who had used various methods to eliminate them in the past. But this time they were wrong, but when some Chinese intelligence officers found them and offered to support them with some weapons and ammunition, they realized that there were really not many German troops in various areas.
