Seven Hundred and Thirty Eight Fingers

"Ahem!" Bruce had just walked over, and when he heard such an explosive conversation, his throat was so frightened that he coughed several times, waking up Bowman, who was staring at Ren in a daze, He ran away quickly, walked to Bruce, pulled him away, trying to avoid this terrible right and wrong place.

"Bruce! You big bear! If you feel uncomfortable in your throat again, I'll cut it open for you to see what's inside!" After all, Alice has a thin skin, and she showed the latent temperament of a female tyrannosaurus in shame and anger. Come on, shouted angrily to Bruce, who was being pulled by Bowman.

Ren didn't say anything, but when Bruce passed by, he kicked on the other's butt, with little strength, but it showed the attitude of the captain at this moment. Andre on the side laughed heartily, then walked to Ren's side, looked at the blushing Alice, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "If you survive the war by luck, I'll officiate the wedding for both of you! Hahaha."

Ren looked at the undulating mountains in the distance with his eyes, sighed and did not speak. But he thought lonely in his heart: Is the war over? Can I really live to that time? After all, between the end of the war and the end of the war, there is still a difficult Wolfe.

Seeing Ryan staring into the distance, Alice calmed down her nervousness, looked at Andre, who was like her big brother, and said coyly: "I didn't agree to marry him, I want to marry me, just wait Bar."

Andre looked at these two people who were interested in each other, but both were ashamed to speak first, felt very interesting, and wanted to laugh again. However, he pointed to the distance, following where Bowman and Bruce went: "The biggest mouth on our car, Mr. Bruce is going in this direction, and the No. 112 tank is parked there."

After finishing speaking, he had an expression that I can only remind you so much, and stopped talking nonsense. And Alice was taken aback for a moment, and then rushed towards the direction where the two people left. Bruce, who is the most willing to talk about other people's private affairs and party news among the members of the whole team, and one who can be said to be the 38th person in the entire 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion, that damned Marcus - within a few minutes , The conversation just now will definitely spread to the entire 502nd Fighter Battalion. Then maybe one morning later, a rumor that Rennes was going to marry him—or a more exaggerated statement, would definitely spread to the ears of all soldiers in the German 3rd Armored Division.

"Bruce! If you dare to say one more word! I will kill you!" Alice yelled, causing a group of Soviet prisoners around to turn around, and more German soldiers also looked at a female soldier with a smile, and rushed to the other side of the road. A dozen grenadiers lit the cigarettes in their hands while yelling and booing.

Who knows, maybe two hours later, maybe even less time, the troops will move forward again, trying to cross another enemy line of defense, some will die there, and some will lose their close relationship Friends, so taking advantage of the present and enjoying every minute and every second is the most important thing.

Soldiers who survived the battle,

They all cherish life, because only in an environment where breathing is a luxury and death is a relief, can we understand how luxurious it is to pour a cup of coffee and enjoy the tranquility while humming a tune on a sunny afternoon.

Guderian's offensive did not stop. The 1st Armored Army under his command stormed south, destroying cities and villages along the way. Almost all the efforts of the Soviet Red Army to stop the advance of the German armored forces in the wild were defeated by the German elite. The 1st Armored Army was defeated. Seven lines of defense in a row were all broken through, and more than 90,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers were captured.

In the entire direction of Donetsk, almost all the defenders are retreating, the roads are crowded with fleeing civilians, and panicked soldiers crowded into a group. German soldiers appeared behind the original line of defense, which caused panic for everyone, and the troops collapsed on a large scale, so that many troops lost effective control of the grassroots soldiers.

Rumors abounded, and there were all sorts of nonsense. Some people say that the main force of the Soviet Union was defeated by the German army in Kharkov, that's why so many German troops appeared in the direction of Donetsk, the south has been surrounded by the Germans, and everyone is dead.

Some people also said that it was the Germans who parachuted paratroopers and disrupted the rear deployment. These paratroopers cut off the bridges and roads in the rear and helped the elite German troops encircle the Soviet Red Army in the direction of Donetsk.

No matter what the argument is, the core is that these poor Soviet soldiers have been surrounded by the Germans, so now they have to find a better way out for their lives. Most of the soldiers left their lines of defense and started He retreated involuntarily, and a huge gap appeared in the front of the entire line of defense.

The infantry behind Model and part of Manstein's Army Group M added this gap, widening the distance between the Soviet soldiers in the Crimean Peninsula and the Soviet soldiers in the direction of Donetsk.

The command system in the entire southern theater of the Soviet Union was in chaos, because Timoshenko's deployment in the direction of Donetsk was the most vulnerable, and most of the soldiers there were recruits, and there were almost no recruits who had received any decent training. In such a situation that is about to be encircled, soldiers of this quality have little choice but to be defeated.

The Soviet Union has a very unique reserve force formation system. In peacetime, the Soviet Union’s combat troops generally have two deputy division commanders, two deputy regimental commanders, and so on, until two deputy platoon leaders. Before the front line, the entire deputy skeleton will be left behind to form new troops.

Although the newly formed army only has a set of deputy system of the original army, the system itself has been coordinated for many years, and with the temporary supplementary reserve personnel, it can fight immediately. This shadow system supports the Soviet Union in another time and space. Germany was defeated, and in this time and space, it still exists.

The advantage of this system is that it can quickly turn one division into two divisions, but the disadvantage is more obvious, that is, the combat effectiveness of the division formed later is very weak. This time, the Soviet Union deployed too many main forces for the northern offensive, and what was left for the southern part was basically this kind of temporary reserve force.

Now the sequelae have finally broken out. The ability of this temporarily formed unit to fight alone is very limited. There is no problem when fighting against the wind, but once there is a headwind situation, it is easy to collapse. This is also the difference between professional soldiers and temporary recruits. When things go well, everyone knows how to charge forward while shouting slogans. When an army is really tested, it is often those really difficult and difficult defenses.

Therefore, the e-group army on the northern front is not as simple as losing 100,000 soldiers. In fact, after hard fighting, the e-group army has tempered at least 200,000 elite infantry. These soldiers have experienced the harshest defensive battles. With the support of another 100,000 veterans, they survived their biggest test.

In this way, Germany has relatively smoothly passed the period of weakening combat effectiveness caused by their expansion of troops. Except for Group A, almost all the German frontline groups participated in the battle on the Eastern Front. The brutal battle also trained almost a million recruits into elite soldiers.

Akado's calculations were very clear. He was going to launch a beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle in Donetsk to wipe out the vital forces in the southern part of the Soviet Union and achieve the goal of liberating the main force of the German army.

Then let the two de armies commanded by Model and Manstein, plus Romania's servant army, attack the Caucasus southward and control the oil field resources of the Soviet Union. The liberated Guderian stormed from south to north, cooperating with Italy The expeditionary force also had Group F, which flanked Kursk and Smolensk.

At the same time, Army Group A attacked Moscow to cover Army Group E, which was fighting alone in the north, and captured the important Soviet cities of Leningrad and Kurmansk. The three roads went hand in hand and rushed to Moscow to end the war. Waiting for the end of the Soviet Union will be the end of land cession and compensation. This is the script written by Akado. Of course, in fact, how far the war will develop is not something he can control alone. In fact, judging from the current overall situation, the Soviets are much more tenacious than the Germans estimated.

For example, according to the original plan, the German army's Group A should cooperate with the German army in other directions to encircle the Rokossovsky offensive group and completely annihilate the Soviet main force. However, judging from the results, the Soviets jumped out of the German army. The encirclement, with a keen sense of smell, discovered the crisis, and deployed a line of defense to withstand the tentative attack of Army Group A.

But on the southern front, the performance of the Soviets was even worse. They lost the messy resistance of the Soviet troops commanded by the middle class. Although some troops fought very tenaciously, more troops were helplessly defeated. The defeat was like a mountain, and the rout implicated more Soviet Red Army who originally wanted to hold the line of defense and stabilize the defense system. As a result, until 11 days after the German armored forces began to go south, a large number of troops had not yet received such a general plan to hold the line of defense or retreat. directional commands.

The reason is actually very simple. Stalin, who was in Moscow, made a mistake again, and began to dictate to the troops on all fronts because of the unfavorable situation on the front line. Instead of venting his grievances to Zhukov, he vented his anger on Timoshenko. He ordered Timoshenko not to retreat, but to let the southern defenders stand firm until the last second.
