As soon as Lin Youde entered the door of the map room, the staff officer who had been waiting for a long time immediately handed over the statistical table of battle results.

Lin Youde took it and took a look, and on the first page, there was a dense row of Russian units that confirmed the defeat, and then he returned the statistical table to the staff officer with his backhand, cleared his throat and pretended to ask: "Tell me directly how many Russian troops we defeated yesterday." ”

"It is roughly estimated that the Russian military formations that were eliminated yesterday add up to 250,000 people. We have captured 100,000 prisoners alone, and the number of wounded and killed is still counting. At the same time, we also eliminated the six Zhanji brigades deployed by the Russian army on the front line yesterday, and more than half of the Zhanji troops of the Second Russian Ukrainian Front were wiped out. Army Group B has already engaged its own battle queen troops this morning to deal with the enemy's possible battle queen counterattack. ”

"100,000 captives?" Lin Youde raised his eyebrows, "I'll go, even if it's 100,000 pigs, I can't catch them in a day, how did the Russians do it?" ”

After Lin Youde finished speaking, the young staff officers in the map room all burst out laughing. However, the man in front of him didn't know that Shaogen was still too nervous, so he explained with a straight face: "Most of the Russian troops were directly attacked by our army's reeling troops when they were retreating or moving closer to friendly troops, and they surrendered after the troops were scattered." There are not many Russian troops who voluntarily give up resistance and surrender to our army. ”

"Yes, thank you for explaining. Now tell us about the state of our troops' advance. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." The staff officer on duty turned around and came to the big map, picked up the extra-long stick used for explanation, and gestured on the map, "Most of the forward troops of our army stopped advancing in the middle of the night yesterday and waited for supplies, and before they stopped advancing, the troops that advanced the deepest part of our army had advanced 80 kilometers to the hinterland of the Russian army, and they reported that they had destroyed a corps-level headquarters. In the early hours of this morning, the troops were resupplied with different distances and resumed their offensive after daybreak. ”

Lin's rolling offensive tactics required that the troops on the front line begin to advance during the day, regardless of how much supplies they received at night, until the tanks were almost empty, at which point they would find a good position to stop and garrison on the spot, blocking an enemy force trying to get through the garrison point until friendly forces arrived.

This seemingly extreme approach was actually quite criticized among the top echelons of the German High Command, but both Manstein and Heinz were believers in this method of warfare, which was also an important reason why Lin Youde entrusted the offensive plan to them to organize.

Manstein and Heinz in this time and space were both promoted by Lin Youde, especially Heinz, because his tactical thinking and the mainstream thinking of the German Army have always been at odds, and he likes to explain his ideas everywhere, so he is not mixed well in this time and space, and without Lin Youde's ability to throw him to Turkey as the commander of the offensive cluster, it is impossible to rise to his current position in a short time.

Therefore, Lin Youde's adoption of Heinz and Manstein's battle plan was actually selfish, and if the attack went smoothly, Manstein and Heinz's prestige would increase, which would help strengthen Lin Youde's control over the German army.

Lin Youde was thinking about this, when a clerk walked over, bowed slightly to Lin Youde, and asked, "The propaganda department asks which propaganda plan to use, sir." ”

"In the most high-profile way, the kind that says we have won an unprecedented victory."

"Yes, Mr. Lin. Also, today's Wen Jiàn eldest lady has already started to read it, may I ask ......"

"Let her see, it's okay, I'll look at it again after she's done." Lin Youde looked unimpressed, "What else?" ”

"The kitchen asks if you're here for breakfast."

"Prepare me a sandwich."

As soon as Lin Youde's words landed, the door of the drawing room opened, and Nia ran in and hugged Lin Youde's waist: "Dad!" ”

"Morning, good daughter." Lin Youde smiled and stroked Nia's head, "But you should go to breakfast first." ”

"Have the kitchen stock up on more sandwiches and milk." Nia said to the clerk who was leaving. It gave the impression that she was born to be evoked, and she didn't look like a little girl at all.

Lin Youde suddenly began to feel that his daughter was no longer innocent, and Nia didn't notice her father's thoughts at all, and directly held Lin Youde's hand and took him off next to the map.

"Yesterday you told me about the offensive tactics of the last war, and then you will talk about it."

Nia seemed genuinely interested in these.

In fact, most of the gods are very interested in military and political affairs, probably because they are born at the center of political and economic life, and the surrounding environment makes them subconsciously form the perception that they will definitely join politics or the military in the future, and then take this qiē for granted. Even like Lydia, she has participated in many martial arts activities.

However, Nia's interest in military affairs is obviously stronger than that of other gods, and she has no interest in politics in comparison. In addition, Nia especially hates the red tape of high society, and always prefers light riding clothes, Lin Youde has the impression that his second daughter rarely wears complicated and gorgeous dresses and long skirts, compared to Ysera's recent dress has begun to become formal, more like a noble lady.

Lin Youde put his arm around his daughter's shoulders and began to explain to her.

"Yesterday I said that the infiltration tactics invented by the moral army, this tactic requires the infiltration team not to attack when it encounters the enemy's support point, but to bypass the support point and penetrate behind the support point. At first, this tactic achieved quite good results, especially when the German soldiers pinned down the Russian army, and the German infantry did use infiltration to take a lot of positions, and even led to the so-called Huttier crisis. However, this tactic soon fell out of use, because the implementation of this tactic required a large number of veterans to form small assault groups, which required too many soldiers, and the infantry carried too little ammunition to advance over long distances. In addition, after the Huthir crisis, countries began to improve their trench systems, designing all support points as support points that could defend against attacks in all directions. ”

Lin Youde was talking when he saw an officer enter the room with a telegram.

Generally, the front-line report will be directly transmitted to the staff headset responsible for adjusting the placement of the troop cards on the map after the telegram is decoded, and the telegram sent by the officer will be specially dispatched, which is usually an important telegram to Lin Youde.

After the officer came to Lin Youde, he saluted Lin Youde and handed him the telegram directly: "The Northern Army is calling." ”

Lin Youde couldn't help frowning.

Army Group North is a cluster of German troops responsible for resisting the Russian offensive on the northern route on the Baltic Sea coast.

Lin Youde took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help smacking his lips.

"What's wrong?" Nia asked curiously.

"The Russian Baltic Fleet attacked the flotilla of our troops that was sending supplies to Königsberg, and the flotilla suffered heavy losses, and seventy percent of the supplies sank into the water."

"Isn't the Navy, with the support of the Air Force, holding the control of the Baltic Sea?" Nia couldn't help frowning, "Why did you let the Russian fleet succeed?" ”

"The air force support is not all-weather," Lin Youde returned the telegram to the confidential officer who sent the telegram, "without the support of the air force, our navy and the Russian navy would have fought about four or six times, and this time the Russians obviously won." ”

"Then Dad, you still pushed back the construction priority of the Bismarck-class in the first place?"

"That's because I need more army weapons to fend off the Russian ground offensive, and while the navy is important to hold the Baltic coast, sometimes we have to be targeted."

Lin Youde pursed his lips as he spoke.

Königsberg was the capital of East Prussia, the spiritual home of the Prussian Junker aristocracy. Although the German national aristocracy has been almost swept away by Lin Youde, Königsberg's status in the hearts of the Germans has not been reduced.

Therefore, even Lin Youde did not dare to give up Königsberg lightly, so when he could not allocate resources to the navy to speed up the construction of battleships, Lin Youde spent a lot of effort to strengthen Königsberg's defense and fortify the entire city.

After the Russian offensive began, as Lin Youde expected, the Russian attack force on the northern front was not the main force, so Königsberg blocked the Russian attack and became an isolated island in the occupied area of the Russian army.

In order to ensure this lifeline at sea, the German Navy took out all its family resources and cooperated with the Luftwaffe to fight the Russian Navy in the Baltic Sea.

But after all, the German Navy has been castrated, most of the ships are aging and strict, and their equipment is also behind the times, and it can support it until now, all thanks to the air force's offensive minelaying and close support of Russian ports, as well as the bloody battles of the German Navy's carrier-based battle girls.

Now that this convoy has been hit hard, it is possible that Königsberg will soon find itself in a state of supply difficulties.

It is not the 70 percent of the material that has been lost, but the transport ships that have been sunk.

Over the past six months, Lin Youde had lost a large number of transport ships in order to secure supplies for Königsberg, and at a time when German industry was in full swing to supply the land war, the losses of these transport ships were difficult to make up quickly.

Lin Youde looked stern, so Niya, who wanted to speak, obediently closed her mouth, just continued to hold her father's arm, leaning her neck to look at his side face.

Finally, Lin Youde spoke: "Notify the propaganda department, urgently adjust the propaganda plan, and while publicizing the great victory of our army on the southern front, mention the defeat of the navy on the northern front, and hint to the masses that we may lose the hero city of Königsberg, which has been held for six months." In addition, let the Air Force organize transport planes and start dropping supplies to Königsberg. ”
