Jagged Germany

Chapter 1439: The situation is unfavorable (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and put the main combat goal on the vital strength of the Russian army. This is the core purpose of the German "Plan Barbarossa".

??Russia has a vast land and a huge number of soldiers. This is doomed to the war with Russia will be a protracted war. It is almost impossible to launch a lightning attack like dealing with other small European countries, defeat Russia in a short period of time, and destroy Russia. Another head of time and space has already proved this point with the defeat of the German army and the demise of Germany.

??The German army under the rule of the Führer is also powerful. But they underestimated the Russians too much. At the same time, the formulated combat plan also has a lot of loopholes. In the early days of the war, the German army took the capture of Moscow as its goal, and all combat plans were directed towards this goal. But in fact, this is beyond the capabilities of the German army. The German army's logistical supply capabilities simply cannot guarantee the supply of troops. As a result, although the German army has gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally hit the city of Moscow, it is actually powerless to continue. However, the Russian army has exploded with extremely strong fighting will and combat effectiveness. After the Russian troops passed the military parade on Red Square, they drove directly onto the battlefield, and launched a head-on blow to the difficulties.

??In the middle of the war, in order to solve the embarrassment of lack of oil, the German army set its combat target on Josephgrad. In other words, they want to conquer the Caucasus in one fell swoop through Josephgrad, so as to obtain oil from the Baku oilfield and alleviate Germany's lack of oil. However, the Russian army, whose strength has gradually recovered, fought a tragic decisive battle with the German army in Josephgrad, which prevented the German army from occupying Josephgrad, and at the same time paid heavy losses. In the subsequent counterattack of the Russian army, the German army suffered heavy losses.

??In the end, the strength of the two sides reversed. The Russian army turned from a disadvantage to an advantage and defeated the invading German army.

??As the time traveler, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire understood these things very clearly. Therefore, he tried his best to avoid such an end. When formulating the "Barbarossa Plan" to attack Russia, the mistakes made by the head of state were fundamentally avoided.

??In addition, the German Empire in this time and space is also very different from the Third Reich in another time and space. The German Empire was stronger than the Third Reich. In terms of resources, the two sides are completely one heaven and one underground. Oil from Libya and the Middle East enabled the mechanized troops of the German army to give full play to their attack power. Unlike the Third Reich, which was the head of state, it could only rely on Romania's oil production, and even had to invest a lot of energy in research and development of coal-to-oil technology.

??The number and military strength of the vassal states of the German Empire are also much larger than those of the vassal states of the Third Reich. This made the army of the German Empire not afraid of fighting the Russian army for a long time.

??Although, quickly attacking Moscow and occupying Moscow will inevitably be a heavy blow to Russia. But if you can't annihilate the huge number of Russian troops and want to destroy Russia, it is impossible.

??The combat philosophy that the German Empire is now adhering to is to continuously eliminate the vital forces of the Russian army through attack after attack. When the Russian army is almost wiped out, Russia will naturally perish.

"Comrade Commander, so far, five infantry armies have been wiped out, and two tank armies have lost their combat effectiveness. The number of lost troops is more than half a million. In addition, there are millions of people in the German army. The current situation is very unfavorable to us." Lieutenant General Ponomarenko, political commissar of the Russian Army's Western Front, said.

?? Marshal Voroshilov was also devastated by the bad situation. The German army attacked powerfully and directly tore through the Russian army's defense line, and they couldn't resist it at all. Even the speed of retreat was not as fast as the German attack, so that a large number of troops were divided and surrounded by German armored forces. Now, relying on their huge strength, the German army and its servants began to eliminate the Russian army in the encirclement. As more and more Russian troops are eliminated, the strength of the Western Front is constantly declining.

??Although the total strength of the Western Front Army is as high as more than 3 million people. But if all the Russian troops in the encirclement were wiped out, they would directly lose half of their troops. In the ensuing battle, facing the fierce attack of the German army, they couldn't hold on even more.

?? "Can the troops be organized to launch a counterattack to meet the troops in the encirclement?" Marshal Voroshilov asked. If you continue to let it go, it will obviously not work. That would cause heavy losses to the Western Front of the Russian Army, and it would be even more unable to withstand the German attack in the following war.

"Comrade Commander, I'm afraid it's impossible. The huge German armored forces are still attacking. Our hastily built defense line was easily broken by them. The troops are continuing to retreat. And, more and more troops are falling into the German army Surrounded by armored forces." Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Malankin said.

?? Marshal Voroshilov's face became even uglier. Obviously, the current battle situation is extremely unfavorable to the Western Front. If things go on like this, the entire Western Front Army's more than 3 million troops will probably be completely lost soon.

?? "Is there any other way?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.

?? "Comrade Commander, we need reinforcements. Especially powerful armored forces. If we can confront the German armored forces head-on, we can ease the current crisis." Lieutenant General Malankin said.

?? "An armored force that rivals the German army?" Marshal Voroshilov frowned.

??Although the Western Front still has some armored units, the number is relatively small, and it is simply impossible to confront the armored units of the German Army Group B with 3,000 tanks.

?? "I will send a telegram to Moscow, asking the reserve front to reinforce us!" Marshal Voroshilov said.

??The reserve front commanded by General Zhukov has 11 infantry armies and two tank armies. If their reinforcements can be obtained, the situation may be quickly stabilized and the German attack can be resisted. However, General Zhukov has no confidence in whether Joseph will let the reserve front army join the battle.

?? "Order the troops in the encirclement to try their best to break through. Even if they cannot break through, they must fight to the death! For the sake of the country, they must sacrifice themselves!" Marshal Voroshilov ordered.

??He hopes to hold down the main force of the German army through such a battle.

?? "Yes, Comrade Commander." Lieutenant General Ponomarenko and Lieutenant General Marankin both replied.
