Chapter 278 I Prefer the Begonia Leaf Picture

Obviously, given Li Yunlong's current cultural reserves, it is unexpected to be familiar with Napoleon's various deeds.

After all, he didn't even recognize the generals of Desan, and he couldn't even tell the difference between Rundstedt and Rommel. Not to mention medieval emperors like Frederick I, they can definitely be regarded as over-the-top knowledge points.

After encountering the new term, Lao Li turned his face slightly and smacked his lips in embarrassment. He secretly decided in his heart that when he had free time in the future, he would severely punish military celebrities and generals from ancient and modern foreign countries.

Even if there is no chance of fighting, we cannot experience the embarrassing situation of being unable to speak again like today.

Live and learn till you are old. We, Mr. Li, have deeply understood the benefits of studying hard.

After quickly adjusting his mentality, Li Yunlong went straight to Huang He's side. He quickly got into the mood and began to analyze why his fellow countrymen were not optimistic about Maozi in the north, and even expressed the view that the opponent was likely to collapse at the first touch.

Following the guidance, Captain Li overlooked the overall situation, and his eyes finally fell on the new border between the two countries.

Even though the north seems to be bullied by its "allies" now, when Desan was fighting against the sky and the earth in Europe, what Dalinzi did was not much different from that of a bully.

Leaving aside the complicated historical factors, in just a few years Maozi first collaborated with Desan to carve up the country that influenced them to sign a non-aggression treaty.

Then he used a very lame excuse to take over the three Baltic countries. In the end, with the remaining power of victory, they fought a winter war with Finland that shocked the world.

Although the entire expansion process was not particularly smooth, there were even jokes about attacking but being surrounded. But after a series of operations, the border line was moved several hundred kilometers westward, and all kinds of strategic supplies were eaten up.

After staring at the map for several minutes, Li Yunlong scratched the back of his head in confusion. He frowned, almost writing "WHY" on his face.

"Old Huang, I can't understand why. What you just said made me a little confused."

Lao Li pointed at the marks on the map with his finger and asked his question again in confusion:

"If there is nothing wrong with Lao Zhao's map, wouldn't there be two strategic lines of defense in this area?"

"Especially the one to the east. Oh my God, it's almost a thousand kilometers long. These idiots are so rich and luxurious. If we had so much money, the devils in North China would have been was driven away."

"To be fair, with such an exaggerated fortification group, even if you let the second-rate Central Army go in to defend, the enemy will not be able to break through the defense line in a short time. For a big country with a population of hundreds of millions, is the true combat effectiveness of the army not as good as meat? ?”

Following Li Yunlong's fingers, Huang He saw the two lines of defense he mentioned.

The first one to bear the brunt was naturally the Molotov Defense Line on the new border, followed closely by the Dalinzi Defense Line on the old border.

The European military powers during World War II always seemed to have an inexplicable admiration and enthusiasm for building extremely large-scale fortifications.

France built the Indestructible Maginot, Germany also built the Siegfried Line and the Atlantic Fortress, and Maozi built the Molotov and Dalinzi Lines of Defense.

Facts have proved that the above five failed to successfully protect the security of their own territories. They were either bypassed or defeated head-on.

Even Siegfried's defense line, which performed best, could only withstand the Allied offensive for four or five months.

Although Desan's soldiers relied on their defenses, they also caused huge casualties to the enemy. But overall, it is still powerless and unable to reverse the decline on the battlefield.

Times are advancing, and technology and tactics are constantly innovating under the wheel of history.

The static warfare and trench warfare derived from the last world war are obviously not suitable for the current new era.

Instead of spending a lot of money and manpower to build a line of defense, it is better to improve the defense level of a specific fortress point.

After all, maintaining a huge defense system requires dispersing troops to various important nodes. A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an ant nest. Once the enemy concentrates its superior troops and firepower to launch a fierce attack on a certain point, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will not last long.

What's more, artillery technology is constantly upgrading. Even if it can currently protect against 105 and 155 howitzers, various larger-caliber tubes will appear on the battlefield in the future.

Big is good, more is beautiful. No matter how high your defense is, as long as I'm thick enough, I can blow up everything. Even if your turtle shell is very thick, I can still shock your soldiers to death.

Hearing Li Yunlong's question, Huang He was not impatient at all. After all, my fellow countrymen’s understanding of the European battlefields is limited, and the war cannot be analyzed in detail based on maps alone.

"A lot of times, things like forts and defenses are unreliable."

"We have built defense lines before, and we imitated the second line you just saw, but it was not penetrated by the bald troops."

"What's more, the Molotov and Dalinzi defense lines are both fake, and the actual effect is not as powerful as imagined. The former is because there is not enough time to build, and the latter is because the facilities are not complete enough."

Don't look at the Dalinzi defense line, which is a full 1,200 kilometers long, almost three times as long as Maginot.

However, its location was not geographically favorable. It was built on the Great Plains and lacked natural barriers such as mountains and woodlands to rely on. In terms of defensive power, it was not comparable to the French Gold Swallowing Beast.

In addition, the fortress area was built too early, and many of the weapons at the permanent firing points were actually machine guns, and only a few key nodes were replaced with artillery three years ago. Facing the German three armored cluster charge, heavy machine guns are useless.

The Molotov Line is even less worth mentioning. It is a temporary product of robbing Peter to pay Paul, so don't expect it to do anything.

Once a battle occurs on the border, the role it can play is very limited.

Originally, Zhukov wanted to deploy the main force on the old border. After all, it is better to use a ladder formation for fighting on the great plains.

Such a deployment not only makes the defense tighter, but also leaves a section of the area as a flexible maneuvering space. Even if it is temporarily defeated, it can be evacuated in an orderly manner to preserve strength.

But the problem is that Dalinzi insisted on defending the enemy outside the country.

At that time, no one dared to persuade him.

After the Great Purge, there were only two types of people left in the top brass of the army: one was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and the other was really stupid. Everyone was afraid that they would anger the leader, so they were sent directly to the Lubyanka Hotel.

In desperation, Zhukov could only bear the pressure and resolutely execute the orders of his superiors. He first divided all the main forces into five military regions, and then spread the troops along the new border.

At this point, Lao Li had completely understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Okay, I understand! Judging from the current intelligence, the north will definitely collapse suddenly."

"The mobility and breakthrough ability of the German Third Army are absolutely unique in the world today. If the Russians reacted a little slower, the estimated damage would definitely be more than one million."

"Tsk, what a big scene. Even if the Marine Corps is expanded, it will probably be wiped out in a week."

Facing the deployment of troops in the cold weapon era, the army generals of the German Third Army must be happier than flowers.

According to the gameplay in a certain coloring game, the next step is to drill a few gaps in the defense line, and then there will be a happy horse racing session. It's just that the mustache is not using a battalion of cavalry, but a brutal infantry artillery, infantry tank and Gundam division.

Under the siege of endless pincer attacks, the Russians will only be captured by the enemy in batches.

At this time, Huang He's drunkenness surged up again. He asked Zhao Gang for a pencil, and then said to everyone present:

"The casualties in the north will definitely be heavy, but never underestimate their mobilization and production capabilities. When the time comes, coupled with the assistance of us and the ugly Britain, the Eastern Front of Europe will inevitably be a mess."

"The land area of ​​5.8838 million square kilometers is not a small number. Even if we soldiers cannot expand the territory, we must find a way to recover the lost land."

"The rooster is beautiful, but I prefer the begonia leaf map."

After speaking, Huang began to write and draw on every corner of the map with a pencil, gradually restoring the perfect map in his mind.

The so-called begonia leaf refers to the terrain during the peak period of the Republic of China. Out of the Bohai Sea, it is like the stem of a leaf. To the west, it is an acute angle to the Pamir Mountains, like the tip of a leaf. All provinces and vassal states are combined into a full leaf.

"Although our territory is large, there is not an inch of extra space."

"The joke I hate most in my life is XX Tuva. Even if Tannu Uriankhai needs to change its name, it should be changed by our own people!"

"One XX policy", "Integrate Xix", "Deny the Mcxxx line", "Claim xgu" are all waiting for you bastards, you have to spit out what you have eaten."

After howling twice, Huang He fell directly on the table and fell asleep.

In 1941, it is not too much to say that the leaves of autumn begonias, after all, the background of the times is there.
