Chapter 851

Now that the general plan for the attack has been determined, the rest is for the general staff of the army and the various army groups. Akado hopes to learn about the specific matters of the attack on Stalingrad, which is the basis of the subsequent battle of Kursk and Baku.

"Our army has crossed the karitwa River on the front, because the bridge is still well preserved, so our army's crossing speed is not slow." Goodrian reported to akkado the position of his G group army's attack: "although the Soviet garrison was heavily fortified, our army still quickly occupied the kier River and occupied a large area of northern Rostov."

He pointed to a vast area on the map, then took a look at brauchich and other generals, and said, "bokovskaya and Soviet tskaya, the important towns on the chil River, have been controlled by our army. The forward troops of our army have arrived near surovikino. Although the Soviet Army resisted, it did not put in any decent troops. "

The main force of the German army, the G group army, is moving towards the Don river, and it's moving forward in a decadent way. The Soviet defense positions were easily crossed by the German special forces and paratroopers, which immediately caught the Soviet commanders and troops by surprise. They had no way to prevent the collapse of the front line, and they had no way to organize effective counterattack when the German forces were advancing rapidly.

Rokosovsky is worthy of being a famous strong general of the Soviet army. On the one hand, he ordered his two armored divisions to retreat to Karachi. On the other hand, he increased his forces along the Don River in the hope of using the wider Don River to defend against the German attack. Surovigino is already within the scope of his abandonment, and has been abandoned cleanly.

Although the supply conditions of the German army on the south line were better than those of the central group, they were just better. As a matter of fact, goodrian had only one transport route from Donetsk to surovigino. Because the German army ensured the smooth flow of the transport line during the attack, it was able to use the railway to ensure the material transportation of the front-line troops when the mud came.

Goodrian pointed to this important and fragile transportation line and said to akado: "my head, at present, there is no problem in transportation. Within three days, our army will raid Karachi under the cover of the air force and break the Don River defense line of the Soviet garrison."

In fact, because of careful preparation, and because Manstein's troops are better at fighting under the condition of dense water network. Manstein's forces have now captured important positions along the Don river. First, he led the army to capture batesk and dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet troops defending the Caucasus. Then, instead of rushing south, he went all the way East and ate up a lot of areas where there was a serious shortage of Soviet defenders.

First of all, he started from Akesai and captured the important cities along the Don river, such as bagayevsky, Shami karayevsky, konstantinovsk and ustidonetsky. Manstein's main force, the 13th armored force, has threatened volgadonsk and zimlensk.

All the way south, the Manstein army won the important port near the sea of Azov, then captured another port, yeisk, and controlled all the areas of the Yeya River Basin. The southernmost troops have entered salisk, completely disrupting the Soviet strategic deployment near the Caucasus.

Just before the meeting began, the unstopped M group army launched an attack on worshold and occupied it after more than an hour of fierce fighting. The Soviet Army routed southward to yuzhny, but the German grenadiers followed. At this moment, the German army had occupied yuzhny, and had won the great orlovka and the great maltenovka with one shot.

The Red Flag Black Sea fleet of the Soviet Union has almost no place to live. If the German forces continue to move southward, these Soviet combat ships deployed in the black sea will be wrapped up on the land by the German forces, and will eventually be destroyed.

When goodrian finished all the attack plans of the G group army and sat back in his chair, Manstein stood up and gave a brief account of his army's attack plan. He went to the front of the map, pointed to the Strait of Kerch and said, "my head of state, the next attack plan of the M group army will be to open the Strait of Kerch to shorten the supply line of our army. Once the fast sea line of Kerch is opened, our group army will shorten the supply line by hundreds of kilometers, which will make the next action plan easier to carry out."

Then he rowed to the east along the Strait of Kerch and continued: "our army will occupy the Krasnodar border area and then sweep the whole Caucasus along the central part of Georgia. Finally, he began to attack Baku and completed the whole Caucasus offensive. "

The railway line into the Caucasus runs across the whole of Georgia from the middle, which is an important supply line through the Caucasus. Manstein has studied countless ways to occupy Baku, and as a result, the rapid attack along the railway line has become his first choice.

There are two routes, one is to go along the North Grozny and then south, the other is to enter Georgia, cross the whole region and then head for Baku. Manstein because of sufficient troops, took a two pronged approach to attack, go hand in hand to open the situation.

This arrangement is based on the fact that the German army is strong and the fighting quality is obviously higher than that of the Soviet army. The M group army of Manstein has more than 400000 troops, and 70% of them are veterans who have fought in the crimson peninsula. He believes that these forces can defeat more than their own number of Soviet troops, and the intelligence department also supports his view. The Soviet army in the southern Caucasus had a total of 330000 troops, less than the troops in Manstein's hands. Most of these troops were recruits, and more than half of them had never fired. Even more hopelessly, nearly 100000 of these troops were deployed along the Strait of Kerch to prevent German troops from landing from Kerch. Then the Soviet troops in front of Manstein only had no more than 250000 people, which could be said to be no match for the German m army. No matter which way of the Soviet army, it is impossible to stop the attack of almost 200000 German troops. Of course, in fact, the Soviet army had an elite reinforcement force, which the German army did not know“ Although the speed of our army's attack is very fast, the Caucasus is too big. I am worried that even if the Soviet army can't defend the Caucasus, it will have time to destroy oil depots and oil production equipment. " Manstein pointed to Baku in the distance and said, "I think if we want to supplement the domestic crude oil consumption, we should start to prepare the repair personnel and equipment from now on at least."“ The personnel and equipment have been in preparation for a few months ago. In fact, you were still in crim and goodrian was still in Ukraine at that time. " Akado took a look at Manstein and said in a gentle tone: "this repair force can be deployed at any time, with more than 3000 people and a lot of large equipment. If there is no problem with the railway line and the damage to Baku oilfield is not thorough enough, then we will be sure to repair it within half a year to a year. "“ My head of state, I really can't guarantee anything at such a long distance. I can only say that if I am rokosovsky, then as long as a forward of my troops crosses evrah, I will order to blow up Baku oilfield. " Manstein reluctantly told the truth: "as long as I have some shells and weapons, I can destroy the whole Baku in a few days, and at that time, my troops can only advance to ujaray area as soon as possible."“ I don't know how the actual situation will change. I just want to ask, if, I mean if, when your troops advance to yevlah, I parachute near Baku and occupy Baku, can I better change the war situation and reduce the loss of the oil field? " Akado looked at the map, then wrapped his hands around his chest, as if thinking about something“ With all due respect, it's impossible to raid Baku simply by parachutists, even by special forces and helicopters. If it's assault and destruction, then the air force can do it, but occupation and protection is not the strength of paratroopers. " Air Force General Catherine, who was sitting on one side, said: "general stutton's troops will be destroyed, and Baku oil field will be turned into ruins by the fire. This is not the end we want to see. "“ Even if the paratroopers parachute successfully, I don't have any troops to attack continuously. I will push the infantry to Baku in two days and let the paratroopers stand alone behind the enemy for a week... I think you can know what this means, Fuehrer. " Said Manstein. Akado nodded. He did develop a large number of ultra modern arms for the German army, and also developed and enlightened a lot of new fighting ideas. However, he could not change the limitations of science and technology on war in this era, nor could he force a certain arm to do things that it was not good at. If the paratroopers are thrown to a certain area and only defend for a few days or even more than ten days, Stuart may be able to do it regardless of the loss. But even if he can, the area will become a ruin when his paratroopers fight with the enemy. This is the inevitable result of the paratroopers holding their positions. They will destroy the city and give up every inch of land in the ruins. But it's Baku, an oil producing area that the Germans want to seize. How can production be resumed after it's smashed to pieces? Even if it was destroyed by blasting, the German army did not want the whole Baku to become a ruin like Smolensk
