Chapter 922 Go to Negotiate (Plus 2)

Construction of the Brest Fortress began in 1833. After several expansions and constructions, a huge fortified fortification is formed, which consists of four independent islands separated by the Bouguer River and artificial canals, and the central castle is located in the center of the entire fortified area.

To the southwest of the central fortress is the fortress of Terespol, due to the south is the fortress of Warren, and to the north is the fortress of Kobrin as a barrier. Each fortress is surrounded by rivers, and the fortresses are connected by bridges.

This fortress happened to be built on the main road.

The northern part of the fortress is a dense forest, which is not suitable for the rapid advancement of tanks. The southern part of the fortress is the Pratt swamp that cannot be seen at a glance. It is a nightmare for infantry and armored troops. Only Brest is the throat. Land is the place to be fought for.

Germany occupied this place and could invade the Soviet Union at any time. Therefore, Germany had made up its mind that it would not be lost to the Soviets. Historically, the Soviets were in the fortress, which caused a major obstacle to Germany.

Meanwhile, three kilometers to the east of the fortress, is Brest New Town, with the Warsaw-Moscow Railway and the Brest Railway Station.

The new city of Brest was occupied by the Soviets, but the Brest Fortress was always occupied by the Germans!

At this time, a temporary headquarters had been established here, and the troops secretly mobilized by the Soviets stayed in the city temporarily, or hid in the woods outside the city.

Timoshenko has a serious face, his opponent Germany, and the Germans, until now, have not fought a single defeat, they have conquered all of Western Europe, and now the Soviets are going to teach the Germans a lesson they will never forget, of course is very difficult.

"Our current main force is three infantry divisions, four independent infantry regiments, and the border garrison. In terms of strength, we have the advantage." Timoshenko said: "However, we also need to Considering the difficulty of this battle, we have to play our tenacious style!"

Everyone present knows that the current war in Finland has brought disgrace to the Soviets, and there are still Germans behind the scenes. However, the Soviet Western Special Military Region is not a coward!

"General, don't worry, our Western Special Military Region will definitely complete the mission successfully." Beside him, General Pavlov said.

Responsible for this battle is the Western Special Military Region. This is a military region organized after the completion of the invasion of Poland. Historically, after the war broke out, it was the Western Front of the Soviet Union, and Pavlov was the commander of the military region. .

Now, facing Timoshenko, Pavlov is full of confidence.

In fact, in the past, the battle for the Brest fortress was planned by Pavlov, but now, although Timoshenko came from Moscow and pressed it on Pavlov's head, he There are not too many concerns, for him, this is just a simple battle.

"Everyone, we all forgot a question, we can't go up and fight, right?" Khrushchev, the military supervisor, spoke.

No one else has really considered this issue.

The specific offensive route and tactics have been worked out, but no one has thought of this question, how to shoot the first shot?

Brother Timoshen and Pavlov are all straight-line soldiers. In their eyes, there is nothing else to say, just launch an attack!

"Although we know that the Brest Fortress belongs to our Soviets and was forcibly occupied by the Germans, and we also know that the Germans stumbled us in Finland, after all, on the surface, we are still friendly with Germany. It's related." Khrushchev said: "If we start a war rashly, then Germany may think that we are undeclaring war."

Khrushchev's words stunned the two generals: "Comrade Khrushchev, you suggested that we teach the Germans at the Brest Fortress!"

"Yes, I suggested it at the beginning, but we can't do it directly, so I have a better idea now." Khrushchev's eyes were full of smiles: "I suggest that we go to the fortress to negotiate first. , said that one of our soldiers was lost and suspected that he had entered the fortress, and we need to go in and search."

Khrushchev's words still could not be understood by the two of them. Looking at the questioning eyes of the two, Khrushchev could only continue to explain: "If the Germans are willing to let us go into the fortress to find someone, then we can Go straight in, if the Germans won't let us in, then we can use this as an excuse to bombard the fortress and then attack!"

I see! Sure enough, it was Khrushchev who was full of bad water!

Timoshenko and Pavlov were both soldiers, while Khrushchev was a political worker. The two actually disliked Khrushchev, but now, Khrushchev's idea, Really clever.

"Okay, then we'll go and ask for someone!" Timoshenko said: "After we telegram to Moscow, we can officially start the execution. If there is no accident, we will go to ask for someone tomorrow morning. If the Germans don't Promise, in the afternoon, we will start bombarding the fortress and attack at night!"

A radio wave flew out of the city of Brest and flew to the faraway Moscow. At this time, the Soviets did not know that their code had been completely deciphered by Germany.

During World War II, the deciphering and anti-deciphering of ciphers have always been carried out intensely and intensely.

For example, in history, the British successfully deciphered the German "Enigma" code, but only Churchill and a few senior generals knew about this "super secret", and took measures such as concealing sources and blocking news.

At the same time, after the British failed repeatedly in the North African battlefield, after several investigations, they finally discovered the fact that the "black code" of the US military attaché abroad was deciphered by the German army, and reported it to the US allies in time. The Americans continued to use the "black code" to send irrelevant information and false intelligence, lure the enemy into the depths, and lead the "Desert Fox" Rommel by the nose on the invisible second battlefield, and smoothly introduce him to the already arranged Good death trap.

Now, the German password is impossible to crack, because Germany has adopted a more advanced frequency hopping technology, and the radio they receive is always garbled.

The Soviets' passwords have always been unreliable, and they are often successfully deciphered. In this regard, the Soviets adopted a fairly simple and effective solution, which is to change the password frequently!

The latest password changed by the Soviet Union has also been deciphered by Germany, so Khrushchev's ghost idea was known by the Germans on the opposite side almost simultaneously.
