"General Tian, do you think you can use a few nuclear fission bombs to blow up a channel for attack?" The question was asked by the Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht. Field Marshal Hoffmann, the second big fat man in the Wehrmacht after Goering, sat there with an incredible look on his face. At first glance, I knew that I didn't believe the words of Tian Yuchen, a young and somewhat unspeakable Chinese air force general.

Tian Yuchen and Colonel Yaichiro Hayashi, who piloted an overweight dive bomber like the He-177 to drop an armor-piercing nuclear bomb, were now in a conference room in the headquarters of the German Army's Eastern Front in Wolfburg, East Prussia, to introduce the experience of nuclear warfare to the German Wehrmacht general, who was old but straight, and his face was full of arrogance and murderous spirit. The two of them were brought back to Germany by the fat field marshal of the Luftwaffe when Goering came to China on his last visit to China.

But what they say is unreliable, and the 500,000 GC fighters armed with Marxist Trotsky ideas are still holding on to a supposedly impregnable fortress, with all sorts of fortifications, trenches, and so on. You killed more than 100,000 people with two nuclear fission bombs, scared off more than 300,000, and then won a big victory, and advanced hundreds of kilometers in one go...... This kind of thing really violates military common sense! And in the future, this battle will be fought in this way, what do you want these generals, generals, and marshals to do? What's the use of so many armored troops, infantry and artillery? Wouldn't throwing a nuclear fission bomb solve it by throwing it in a direct race?

Moreover, Einstein's report to the Wehrmacht also mentioned what radioactive contamination would occur after the explosion of a nuclear fission bomb. This kind of pollution will remain for a long time and cannot be eradicated, and if the German team attacks the nuclear explosion area after the nuclear explosion, it will cause great danger to the bodies of officers and soldiers. I don't know if I want to replace them all with cancer! Therefore, the Wehrmacht has not dared to throw nuclear fission bombs on the front line of the two armies until now, let alone use such dangerous bombs to harm others and themselves to blow up an offensive path! If the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers who passed from the nuclear bomb area were to die of cancer in the future, the gains would outweigh the losses, and the Germanic people would not have a numerical advantage of more than 600 million......

"Actually, we were more worried about nuclear contamination, so we didn't directly attack the center of the nuclear explosion, but took a detour from the two wings of the center of the nuclear explosion. However, the Soviet forces around Krasnoyarsk did collapse without a fight, and we guess they may have been frightened by two nuclear fission bomb attacks, right? I'm not sure if the same thing will happen on the Western Front. But as far as the battle of Krasnoyarsk on the Eastern Front is concerned, the nuclear fission bomb is indeed the decisive factor...... "Tian Yuchen is very fluent in German, and his complexion is always calm. Speaking without a hint of emotion is indeed very much in line with the aesthetics of the Wehrmacht elite.

However, the German generals present were still skeptical and whispered, after all, they had not seen the horror of a nuclear explosion with their own eyes, so there was no way to believe that a series of nuclear explosions would destroy the nerves of an army - of course. If only a little more nuclear fission bombs in their hands. These German generals did not mind a few experiments. But now, they are still holding the idea of good steel on the blade, and are ready to use nuclear fission bombs in the most critical places. It's just that none of them knows, where is this most critical place?

"Moscow should be destroyed with a nuclear fission bomb, which is the real heart of the Soviet Union, and maybe kill Trotsky and several of their main leaders!"

"No, bombing Moscow is not a good idea, the key to wanting to destroy the USSR is to annihilate their Red Army! Therefore, nuclear fission bombs were to be used against the Red Army. It is possible to tear apart their defenses with armored forces first, and then divide and surround them. Finally, attack with a nuclear fission bomb. ”

"Gentlemen, but the first problem we face now is how to break through the strong Soviet defenses!"

The person who said this was General Manstein, who was the chief of staff of the German Army Group B, who got up from his seat, walked to the front of the huge Soviet-German battlefield diagram hanging on the wall of the conference room, picked up his whip and pointed at the Soviet front above, and said:

"The Soviets now stretched more than 1,200 kilometers from the Gulf of Riga in Latvia in the north to the Black Sea in the south, and at least 10 million to 15 million Soviet Red Army troops were concentrated on this line, and because the two sides had been facing each other for more than a year, the Soviets were able to establish three strong defensive zones there. According to space reconnaissance, these lines of defense include infantry bunkers, machine-gun and anti-tank bunkers, observation posts and artillery observation posts, anti-tank trenches with a total length of more than 5000 km. It is also estimated that a large number of anti-tank obstacles have been erected, and considerable anti-tank and anti-infantry mines have been laid.

In addition, these formations were arranged in depth echelons, and according to the Soviet defense maps obtained by our intelligence officers, the Soviet first defensive zone was about 10 kilometers deep and consisted of several trenches and a large number of anti-tank support points scattered between these trenches. These support points are carefully arranged, usually to form a large circle of outwards, with excellent visibility for fire, not afraid of attacks from the flanks and rear, and capable of forming a dense network of fire with other support points. According to intelligence, these support points are usually armed with 3 to 5 artillery pieces, usually 45mm anti-tank guns and 76.2mm anti-tank guns, as well as weapons such as anti-tank guns, mortars and machine guns, and the defenders are usually a reinforced elite infantry battalion. Moreover, the Soviets also dismantled part of their tank corps and deployed them directly behind these anti-tank support points in order to provide timely support to the anti-tank positions.

And this is only the first defensive zone of the Soviet army, about 10 km behind the first defensive zone, there is also a second defensive zone! Although not as densely fortified as the First Defensive Zone, it was still very fortified, including several trenches, sparse anti-tank strongholds, machine-gun and artillery positions and bunkers, as well as a large number of promenade pits and individual machine-gun bunkers. Behind the second defensive zone was the third defensive zone of the Soviet army, which was about 30 to 40 kilometers from the first defensive zone. The Soviets had built a large number of trenches and diagonal positions on this strip for cantonment, and their general reserves were assembled here, probably including about thirty tank armies and more than thirty army groups. Millions of troops! There are thousands of tanks and guns! So I don't think we can easily break through the Soviets' defenses, surround them, and drop nuclear fission bombs! ”

"Mr. Admiral, please tell me what you do, I don't think you will sue me that the valiant German army will be helpless in front of the bullshit defense line of the Soviets, right?" A voice with a thick Bavarian accent came from the door of the conference room, and everyone followed the voice to see German President Adolf Hitler, wearing a grass-green tweed military uniform without military rank, standing in the doorway at some point.

He waved his hand to the crowd for them not to stand and salute, and strode to the front of the map. Arms crossed, waiting for Manstein's answer.

The German army general still gave Hitler a military salute, then coughed and looked at the two Chinese Air Force officers on the side: "Your Excellency, President." I think we can take a cue from the battle of Krasnoyarsk that nuclear fission bombs can be combined with traditional modes of warfare. He pointed to the Soviet line on the map and said: "I think it is possible to use nuclear fission bombs on both sides of the main breakthrough site, such as dropping two or three nuclear fission bombs on each side 50 kilometers east and west of the Zodino-Borisov line." You can throw it like this...... Manstein tapped the whip four times on either side of Rodino-Borisov. "The two or three nuclear fission bombs we drop on one side should be more than 20 kilometers apart. This would ensure a devastating blow to the Soviet troops on a defensive strip up to 20 kilometers wide and 60 kilometers long. In this way we wiped out most of the Soviet troops about 20 kilometers on the Zodino-Borisov flank. It can also constitute two radioactive contaminated areas. And the area around Ruodino-Borisov has become a relatively isolated area, and it is difficult to get the support of Soviet troops on both sides, which is very conducive to our breakthrough! And I doubt that the Soviet troops of Rodino-Borisov would have had the courage to stay on their positions after their flanks were repeatedly bombarded with 4 or 6 nuclear fission bombs! ”

"Bomb both wings and break through in the middle." Hitler nodded, smiling with satisfaction, and he turned his head to look at Max. Hoffman: "Marshal Hoffman, do you think this will work?" ”

Hoffmann had already seen that Hitler was ready to support Manstein's plan. So he nodded and said, "Your Excellency, with 4 to 6 nuclear fission bombs, you can definitely blow up a passage." However, this breakthrough seems too expensive......"

Hitler raised his right hand and waved it vigorously, interrupting: "No! Nothing expensive! So it was decided, can you be ready within a week to drop 6 nuclear fission bombs? I hope to break the stalemate on the Western Front as much as possible, because I can't wait to reap the fruits of victory in the world war for Germany! ”

Hitler really couldn't wait, because he knew he and Germany couldn't wait any longer! The Chinese are advancing on the Eastern Front, and the more than a million troops deployed there by the Soviets completely collapsed after the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, except to flee or flee, and it is said that they are about to run to the Ural industrial zone, where the fat meat that is planned to be eaten by Germany, if swallowed by the Chinese, even if they are willing to spit it out, it is not without a price, right?

In addition, the behavior of the Americans and the British in colluding with each other is also stimulating Hitler's nerves; if he cannot settle the Soviet Union cleanly, I am afraid that Britain and the United States will conclude some kind of "anti-German treaty" behind him, and if they do not do so, they will even draw France, Germany's old enemy, into the anti-German camp, and if Britain and the United States provide France with nuclear fission bombs again, then Germany's status as the dominant European alliance will really be shaky -- these are all variables brought about by nuclear fission bombs, and no matter how you look at it, they will be quite unfavorable to Germany's European hegemony!

And now all Hitler could do was to defeat the Soviet Union as much as possible, and then concentrate on stabilizing Germany's position in Europe.

……

"Welcome to the Western Front to guide the work, Comrade Tukhachevsky."

Egorov is tall, has a very upright Slavic face, and has a high forehead, and at first glance he is a very smart and wise general, and he will not fail to see that the current Soviet Union is powerless. But the shape of the present is different from that of 1917 and 1918, and even worse than when Napoleon entered Moscow in 1812! It's not that the land compensation can be fooled out and exchanged for a chance to make a comeback. Because the two imperialist countries, China and Germany, made it clear that they wanted to destroy the Soviet Union and Russia! So all Yegorov can do now is to direct the battle with all his strength, and it would be good to let the sickle-hammer flag fly over the Soviet Union for one more day.

"This is the latest battlefield-shaped shì diagram." After inviting Tukhachevsky into his war room. Yegorov didn't talk nonsense, and quickly began to introduce the shape of the battlefield: "The defense line of our Western Front stretches from the Gulf of Riga in Latvia in the north to Billaros at the junction of Belarus and Ukraine in the south, stretching for more than 600 kilometers, with a strong defense line and sufficient garrison forces......"

"I know all of this, let's talk about morale. The Smolensk and Leningrad nuclear explosions did not have much of a negative impact on the morale of the troops, right? Tukhachevsky, who had experienced the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, was now most concerned about the morale of his troops, and he was very worried that the troops on the Western Front, like the Eastern Front, would lose their fighting spirit under repeated attacks by German nuclear bombs.

Egorov shook his head. With a wry smile, he said: "How can something like this not have a negative impact on the morale of the troops?" ”

"Didn't you ask you to block the news?" Tukhachevsky frowned.

"Of course, the news was blocked at the first time, but it was only for the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and those middle and high-level cadres were well informed."

In a Soviet state, access to information is, of course, a privilege reserved for a few. Basically all information has a "non-proliferation" rating before it is disseminated. For example, the news that "the Krasnoyarsk fortress was occupied by the Chinese army" (in fact, the fortress has long been gone) was conveyed to the county and regimental level. The news of the "strategic retreat of the Eastern Front by more than 1,000 kilometers" is not known to the cadres at the county and regimental levels, and only the army cadres at and above the division level have the right to know, and the local cadres and the masses of workers and peasants in the Novosibirsk region also know about it, because the mighty mechanized units of the Chinese army have already begun to occupy there! As for the news of the nuclear bomb attacks on Smolensk and Leningrad, it was conveyed to the level of the Western Front Army Group, and it stands to reason that not many people should know about it. However, both nuclear explosions occurred in large cities in the western part of the Soviet Union, and they were also large cities where the families of Western Front cadres gathered, and many people witnessed the explosions, and a large number of troops were involved in the rescue and blockade of the explosion areas. In this way, the ranks of those in the know expanded rapidly.

Therefore, most of the deaf and discerning middle and senior cadres of the Red Army and the party knew that Leningrad and Smolensk had been destroyed by the Germans with secret weapons, and only the cannon fodder of the grassroots companies was mostly kept in the dark.

Tukhachevsky sighed: "In the battle of Krasnoyars. The morale of the troops began to collapse from the middle and senior cadres, who were more afraid of death than the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, if it weren't for Belov and Vasilevsky who moved the headquarters out of the fortress......" Speaking of this, he shook his head: "It's useless if you don't move out, you will be killed in the second nuclear explosion!" This war really can't be fought. He looked at Egorov and said: "The Revolutionary Military Council has just made a decision to abandon the main line of defense in the western theater. ”

"Abandon the line?" Yegorov was taken aback, "Where are you going to retreat?" ”

"Not a retreat, it should be said that it is not just a retreat." Tukhachevsky took out a map from his leather bag and spread it out on the map table. At first glance, Yegorov saw that this was a map of the western regions of the Soviet Union, on which hundreds of small circles were densely drawn. Yegorov asked: "What do these circles mean?" ”

"It's a stronghold, there are three hundred in total, and none of them are defended by half a group army plus tens of thousands of Red Guards."

"What's the use of that? I can't hold it at all! Egorov shook his head and said: "It's complete nonsense, isn't this dispersion of forces a chance for the Germans to break through?" Who came up with the idea? ”

"That's me!" Tukhachevsky smiled bitterly: "This is also a matter of no choice, if the troops are put into a line of defense, the Germans only need to drop a few nuclear fission bombs in a row at a certain location, and the Red Army there will definitely collapse, and the Germans can drive straight into our troops and divide them into pieces, and then use nuclear fission bombs to destroy them all!" Therefore, they can only be scattered into three hundred strongholds, so that they may be able to support for a while longer. ”

"However, such an adjustment is too big to be completed in a short period of time." Egorov shook his head again and again: "At least three months, the Germans can't give us so much time!" ”

"Then adjust as much as you can!" Tukhachevsky sighed and said: "While the enemy has not yet launched a general offensive, first withdraw the general reserve above the third line of defense, and arrange about a hundred large defensive positions in western Belarus, south of Leningrad and around Smolensk, and strive to complete the adjustment in early May."
