Chapter 1152
Trucks were designed to a much lower standard than tanks and armored vehicles.
And because of their heavy load, they can’t go any faster. It
‘s already pretty good to barely run 30 kilometers per hour. If they run faster, the horsepower of the trucks is not enough, and they are prone to overturning at too fast a speed. If a car is lost, it won’t have a big impact on an army.
But the problem is, if one of their cars suddenly falls on the road while they are marching, blocking the passage for the troops behind them, that would be terrible.
At that time, the traffic will be paralyzed, and the crowded convoy behind will be the best target for the enemy!
“The logistics support troops should always check the condition of the vehicles to prevent them from breaking down or capsizing!”
Although it was not the first time that he led troops to fight, Guderian was still a little nervous.
After all, this was a war, not a game.
After the war, everyone has only one life, and if they die, they are really dead, and there will be no chance of resurrection.
Therefore, it is also very important for a general to maintain moderate tension and be vigilant to guard against any possible situation!
It is late at night, and most people in the bear country have fallen asleep.
The actions of the German army will not alarm them for the time being, so they must seize the opportunity to move forward as far as possible.
In this way, when the Soviet army finds them, they will be closer to their destination.
“Send a telegram to Manstein, telling them that our army is close to Levi, and let the Central Army Group immediately send troops to cooperate with our army’s actions!”
At dawn the next morning, seeing that it was about to dawn, the German army, which had been running all night, finally stopped to rest.
Once dawn breaks, they will be discovered by the Mao Bear people.
At that time, they may be attacked at any time. If they don’t take the time to rest now.
Once they wait until that time, they may not have time to rest if the fighting really starts.
In order to paralyze the Soviet army as much as possible and let the Soviet commanders make wrong judgments.
When planning the route of action, the German army tried to act as close to the back of the Soviet army on the front line as possible.
In this way, in the eyes of the Soviet army, this German army is cooperating with the German army on the front line to attack them from both sides, and they can’t see that they are completely surrounded. When faced with danger, they will not rashly retreat with their entire army.
And once their retreat is delayed for one more day, the success rate of the German plan will increase by one point.
Moreover, if the Soviet commander really accurately judges the German intentions, the German army can also change the combat plan immediately.
Cooperate with friendly forces on the front battlefield to first divide and encircle part of the Soviet troops on the front line.
At that time, even if it is impossible to wipe out all three million Soviet troops in one fell swoop, at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of Soviet troops can be annihilated.
The ultimate goal of Manstein’s plan is to weaken the Soviet military strength on the Eastern Front. As long as the most elite Soviet Eastern Front Corps can be killed or defeated..
Then in the subsequent actions, the obstacles faced by the German army will be much smaller!
After receiving Guderian’s telegram, Manstein immediately ordered the three armies of the Central Army Group to attack immediately.
At this time, the fighting between the two sides on the front battlefield has reached its most intense moment.
The more than 900,000 troops of the Allied Forces, plus the three armies of the Central Army Group that have just joined the war, more than one million troops.
The combined strength of the German and Allied forces has exceeded 2 million!
Two million well-equipped and experienced elite troops launched a fierce attack on the Soviet positions.
This created tremendous pressure on the Soviet army on the front line.
Bad news came one after another from various battlefields. Under the fierce attack of the Allied forces. At this time, many positions have been breached by the coalition forces.
What’s worse is that as battlefields everywhere continue to send out signals for help to the headquarters in the rear.
As a result, the headquarters has been constantly sending out its own reserve troops. Soon, the reserve troops in the front-line positions have been exhausted, and they can only turn to the army group’s reserve troops for help. The army group’s reserve troops could not hold out for long, and had to continue to ask for help from the commander-in-chief on the front line.
Faced with the snowflake-like requests for support, Timoshenko, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front, had a grim face.
He stared at the battle map of the front line, circled several places where the German army focused its attack, and then pondered over these circles.
“What exactly is Manstein trying to do? Why can’t I sense the German offensive strategy?”
The attack of the German army and the coalition forces was very chaotic. They launched attacks on almost all battlefields at the same time.
Timoshenko had never heard of such an offensive method!
Concentrating forces to fight with advantage, isn’t this what the military academy wrote in the textbooks?
Why didn’t Manstein follow this rule?
Attacking everywhere does seem to be very powerful, but it is difficult to defeat the Soviet army at once.
Even in some local battlefields, the German army defeated the Soviet army over there with advanced equipment and excellent individual quality, and even occupied the Soviet positions.
But because the German army’s own front line was too long, their forces were abnormally dispersed.
In this case, even if they occupied certain positions, they could not form a breakthrough due to the lack of follow-up forces.
In this case, even if the Soviet defense line looked precarious, there was actually no great danger!
They could completely withdraw the defeated troops on the front line and build a second or even a third line of defense in the rear. No matter how good the German army is at fighting, there will be a time when they run out of strength.
If they If the German army continues to attack at this pace, it will take less than a week for the German army’s spirit to be completely exhausted.
Once the German army’s spirit is exhausted, the Soviet army’s defense line will not only be completely defended, but also find an opportunity to counterattack the German army and recapture the defense line previously occupied by the German army!
Therefore, from Timoshenko’s perspective, he can’t understand the actions of the German army on the opposite side.
Manstein is not a fool, on the contrary, he is a famous general recognized by the world.
Such a person must not make such a low-level mistake, so under this chaotic offensive mode, the German army must have other conspiracies.
And this conspiracy is the real killer!
Don’t look at the German army’s current extremely lively attack on the front battlefield. More than 20,000 artillery and more than 2 million troops launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet army’s position.
Five million people from both sides fought bloody battles on the front line. This scene should have created the history of this world war.
However, no matter how lively the front line is, it is not as threatening as the German army’s hidden and unpredictable killer move!
