In the encirclement of Smolensk, the originally peaceful city has now become a ruin. The tranquility is still peaceful, but the current tranquility has become a suffocating silence. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest updated novel After the German shelling, everything was so deserted, the Soviet infantry huddled in the trenches, squatting behind the collapsed houses, some were smoking cigarettes, and some were dozing off helplessly.

No one is too interested in this kind of warfare, the enemy bombards your position with artillery, and the enemy dive bombers hover over your head, but you can only dodge everything without even a chance to fire a shot , died on the street next to the ruins just because he couldn't escape in time.

Now, the defenders of Smolensk had to face such a problem. They had no way out and were completely surrounded by the German army in a limited space. In order to reduce their own casualties, the German army only used some heavy artillery and bombers to destroy the will of everyone guarding the city every day. The shells fell from time to time, hitting uncertain corners of the city, taking away lives, as well as the once exquisite buildings.

No one knows when this war will end, but when they eat worse and worse food, sleep with weapons in the middle of fewer and fewer buildings, they don't feel the possibility of this war ending again, This hopeless day tortured the hearts of the Soviet defenders every moment.

"The bomber force has begun to gradually decrease according to the plan." Rundstedt, who returned to the front line, took his eyes away from the artillery mirror and said to the air force liaison officer beside him: "We must save fuel, Preparing for the next hard fight, we can't even retreat because the fuel is only enough for us to fight defensively."

"We have made a systematic attack plan in the future. There will be a total of four air raids on Smolensk. The bombers will take off from several front-line airports and drop napalm bombs on the city to expand the effect of the air strike." Air Force Contact The official reported to the marshal in front of him: "The head of state meant to bomb Moscow on a limited basis, but the problem of fuel makes him hesitate to carry out this deterrent attack."

"The bombing of Moscow... It's hard to judge what effect this incident will have on Stalin's decision-making." Rundstedt walked to his front-line command bunker with his hands behind his back, and said without looking back: " If it really angered Stalin and forced the Soviet army to start a counterattack in the central region ahead of time, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss..."

The air force liaison officer hurriedly followed up, and whispered: "If Stalin and Zhukov were so straightforward, we would not have to spend so much time in Smolensk. I think that since they dare not act rashly, if we are more arrogant, they will be more aggressive." It’s right to be suspicious.”

"Adjutant." Walking into his command bunker, Rundstedt took off his military cap, hung it on the hanger at the door, and ordered the adjutant who was writing the report: "In my name General Catherine wrote a letter,

Thank his air force for supporting Army Group A, and ask him, if the head of state insists on attacking Moscow, please delay the bombing of Moscow, at least wait until my army's fuel reserves have recovered to 70% before launching the bombing of Moscow. "

"Yes! Marshal!" The adjutant did not get up, but only agreed. After all, the report documents of an army group are not just a few blank sheets of paper. What he wants to write is all-encompassing, and the reports piled up around him are almost a foot thick. The detailed combat reports of the entire Army Group A from the beginning to the occupation of Belarus to the encirclement of Smolensk must be filed and recorded. This is a long-standing habit of the Army.

Just the combat report on the King Tiger tank sent by the people below, as well as relevant improvement suggestions, there is a stack of detailed records, including how the King Tiger tank was killed by Soviet soldiers during the Battle of Orsa Heights. The destruction, how the wreckage was disposed of afterwards, photos taken by the engineering troops, technical analysis reports, testimonies from the surrounding tank crews, and so on.

The more modern the war, the more it needs all kinds of data and the support of logistics personnel. A division is not only combat soldiers carrying rifles, but also cooking staff responsible for food, anti-aircraft artillery units responsible for air defense, and responsible for transporting oil and ammunition. The transport troops, engineers who specially guide the construction of fortifications and destroy the opponent's fortifications, salaries, tailors, band flag teams, and even photographers and electricians.

The era when Han Xin ordered as many troops as possible has passed, and the management of the army depends more on professionals in all aspects, rather than relying on a general himself-if someone really wants to personally manage every detail of a modern army, Then he may only be worthy of being a team leader in his life.

When Akado made a compromise and no longer allowed the central cluster and the southern cluster to attack at the same time, Rundstedt knew that he could only play defensive counterattacks for a period of time. On the large frontal battlefield, Army Group F under the command of General Kluge was responsible for defending more lines of defense, while Army Group A was able to save more armored troops so that they could reinforce the Soviet offensive line of defense in time and push the Soviet troops who dared to counterattack head-on. go back.

The German army is familiar with this kind of tactics, so as the commander, Marshal Rundstedt did not specially arrange any more whimsical tactics. Sometimes the simplest and rude way is also the most effective way. Because it is simple, it is more determined and powerful to execute.

"Our troops are not good at this kind of urban battle. To be honest, even if other German troops are replaced, they are not very suitable for this kind of battle in the ruins." Lundstedt said: "Sometimes The more I face the crisis, the more emotional I become."

He turned around, looked at the air force liaison officer, smiled and said: "Because the crises I have encountered since 1935 have all been proved that the head of state has already thought of these problems, which makes me feel at ease and makes me feel at ease. I feel that I will win. We have been systematically learning how to fight in the streets of the city since 1927, and how to use less troops to hold back more enemies in the city. Although we are still not very good at fighting urban battles, but We are indeed better trained than our opponents, and most of the officers were 'tortured' by the head of state, and they told me with a sad face that they had had enough of those ruins."

Speaking of this, Rundstedt was very excited: "At that time, the head of state personally judged our exercises. During the city battle, we taught every soldier how to bend down, how to reduce their own casualties, and how to use the ruins and everything around them. …The soldiers at that time are now officers. Fortunately, they did not forget what they learned back then and handed them over to their recruits. This is the reason why we have come to this point, isn’t it?”

The air force liaison officer nodded and said to the Marshal with awe: "Yes, Marshal. This is felt more deeply here in the Air Force. Our fighter jets are more advanced than the enemy's, and our tactics are stronger than the enemy's. It was completed under the leadership of the Führer, and my respect for the Führer cannot be expressed in words, and I was even a little afraid to see him, and my voice trembled a little in front of him."

The gift of God, the savior of Germany, the Germanic prophet... This head of state has many adjectives and nicknames in Germany. Every German believes that this savior can predict the future and guide Germany to the final victory. It is precisely because there are so many evidences proving the forward-lookingness of the head of state that many people firmly implement the order of the head of state and dare not discount it in the slightest.

They believe that the Führer is inextricably linked with God, and they have become theists, firmly believing that the Führer is their god, and dare not violate it in the slightest. As long as Akado's eyes look over, there will be unparalleled coercion, making people have to tell the truth in their hearts.

There are even rumors that the Führer can see into the future and, if he chooses, by casting a spell, he can find anyone who goes against his will and kill him. In short, these rumors made Akado put on the cloak of a god, with a strange and mysterious color.

"So I firmly believe that as long as we follow the Führer, as long as we firmly follow the Führer, Germany will be revived one day! Even if we sacrifice today, that is God's will, and that is the price that the German nation should sacrifice for God !" Rundstedt nodded, agreeing with the words of the Air Force Liaison Officer: "So even if the blood is flowing like a river, I still stick to my beliefs, believe in the Führer, rely on the Führer, and the Führer will take us out of the predicament."

"Yes, so in our entire empire, everyone is sincerely greeting the head of state and shouting the phrase Long live the head of state." The Air Force liaison officer echoed: "So I and everyone I know are waiting, waiting for the head of state Further moments."

Going further? It doesn't seem like a step backward... Lundstedt looked at the fanatical Air Force liaison officer in front of him, and naturally knew what he meant by going further. After all, this kind of voice has appeared for not a day or two, and almost everyone supports Akado, the German head of state, to go further. Regardless of whether he is a vegetable seller or a murderer, just like they hoped William would step down back then, they now all hope that Akado can ascend to the throne and become the emperor in their minds.

In their view, Akado's proclaiming emperor was not a retrogression of the system, but a progress of the Third Reich in line with God's will, and a great epoch-making progress of human civilization.
