Chapter 862

"What did you say?" Rokosovsky asked in a loud voice, clutching the collar of the messenger. He felt that his deception tactics in the Don River Valley could cheat the German army for three days, but he never thought that the German army broke through the defense line in only two hours.

"You mean? Don't the German have a trial attack at all? And then it's all about crossing the river? " Rokosovsky frowned and snatched the telegram from the direction of Don river. The despair of the defenders could be seen between the lines.

The defense line did exist, but the number of troops was not so large. How could the German army bump into it, regardless of any loss. This puzzled rokosovsky, who had studied German tactics for a long time. He could not believe that the German army could easily see through his deception.

Someone leaked their plan? The first time, rokosovsky thought of this possibility, but he used the fastest time to deny his guess. After all, it is impossible to see through his whole plan in such a short period of time and send some key information to the German army.

Since the German army did not rely on spies to obtain intelligence in advance, the commander of the German army had amazing intelligence. Rokosovsky thinks that it is more likely that some of the commanders of the other side are one of the German double talents that Zhukov is afraid of. It is not surprising that goodrian, the famous tank geek, can see through this scam.

However, rokosovsky still did not know how the other side saw through his elaborate deception. He thought that he had designed every link very skillfully, and that every link of the original plan should be impeccable.

"How on earth did he see through my plan?" Rokosovsky let go of his men's collars, went to the front of the map, looked at the huge German army group that was approaching him, and murmured.

……

"Do you still need to see through this is a fraud?" Goodrian looked at his assistant with a smile: "my troops have been fighting for nearly two years. As soon as they fire and expose their firepower configuration, any company commander under my command can know whether they are a battalion or a regiment!"

Rokosovsky did use a lot of smoke bombs for his deception. First, his troops had been retreating a few days ago, and the German army had been unable to find the exact dynamics of the main force of the Soviet army. All this increased the possibility that the main force of the Soviet army would appear on the Don River defense line, and it really made people suspicious and dare not attack the Don River easily.

But there are exceptions. Goodrian points to the troops who are crossing the river with pride, and then he is full of confidence: "and I don't plan to prepare anything in front of the Don line. These troops have been preparing for a whole month, just to cross the Don River quickly here today and get close to Stalingrad! "

"If the Don River defense line of the Soviet army is fake, then all we need to do is attack. One punch is enough to break the scam, isn't it?" He said what he thought: "if the Don River defense line of the Soviet army is true, then the same attack will be OK. Don't we think all day about how to eat the main force of the Soviet army in the wild?"

His assistant looked at goodrian, at the German armored cars and trucks passing by him, and one leopard tank after another. Suddenly understand this simple truth: any deception is able to succeed, the main reason is that the opponent does not have enough strength! When the attacking party has enough determination to fight and has the combat ability to be absolutely superior to the opponent, they will only use the attack to smash everything in the face of any deception. This is the simple truth.

One of the main reasons why goodrian ordered the troops to attack immediately was that he did not believe that the Soviet army would fight the German army in the field. To promote his thinking based on this assumption, it would be very beneficial for Germany to see the existence of the Don River defense line, while it would not be necessary to waste time to confirm that the Don River defense line did not exist, So rokosovsky's scam was doomed to be a futile trick from the beginning.

"Send a telegram to general troxerre in the back, telling him that we have successfully broken through the Don line and are attacking the two wings of Stalingrad." Goodrian ordered his assistant to contact the commander of the N group army in the rear, so that his troops could catch up and take over the front line of the G group army.

Then he thought about it and gave a second order: "by the way, send a telegram to Yuan's supreme headquarters to tell them that we have successfully broken through the Don River defense."

……

"Yuan! Our army has successfully broken through the Don River defense line, annihilated more than 20000 defenders and captured more than 40000 prisoners. General goodrian's forward investigation force is less than 10 kilometers away from Stalingrad. " Hindra soon passed on the latest news of the front line to akado. At this time, akado, together with marshal brauchich, was analyzing the fighting situation on the front line.

"Still not able to annihilate the main force of the Soviet Army... These Soviets are determined to turn all the cities into ruins." Akado said with a helpless sigh.

Unlike Western understanding of war, Russians like to use cities to defend their enemies. Western countries generally do not like to stick to the city, because it will make their homes into ruins; On the contrary, the Soviets liked to stick to the city, preferring to burn all the stones rather than hand them over. It is obvious that Paris fell without war. On the contrary, Leningrad and Stalingrad were doomed to ruin“ Even if the Soviet army is shrinking in Stalingrad, we are sure to annihilate them! " Marshal brauchich said to akado: "my yuan, what I need to worry about now is the longer and longer supply line, which worries me more and more. These supply lines are very unstable, and many places pass through Soviet areas where guerrillas are active. This does not bode well. " Akado nodded, which was also his worry. In fact, the German troops on the front line were not enough, but because of the different order of attack, the front battlefield was expanded and the defense line was extended. As long as the Caucasus is captured, all unfavorable factors will be solved. On the contrary, there were enemy guerrillas and saboteurs everywhere in the vast occupied area, which involved a large number of German troops and had a very negative impact on transportation and the resumption of production. O the group army has been transferred to Belarus in the process of formation. On the one hand, it is responsible for training and on the other hand, it is responsible for destroying the Soviet guerrillas in Belarus“ Another news has to be treated with caution. " After counting his head, akkado anxiously handed a report to blauchich: "my marshal, the news from the beehive, some officers of the Soviet Far East army appeared in Chelyabinsk, and they also received some new tanks and other equipment."“ Did the Soviets deploy troops to the Far East? " Brauchich took the report and looked at it carefully. The news was not good news for the German army, because once more troops appeared in their front, it meant that the Soviet army was more difficult to deal with“ Our opponents are not being beaten passively. " Akado sighed: "they are trying their best to deal with us. Chelyabinsk has recently received a large number of fine processing lathes from the United States, expanded the production scale, strengthened the strength of the Soviet armored forces, and our various weapon advantages are being offset by our opponents." This kind of thing is not just born. During the Polish campaign, the German army almost lost no tank troops. It seems that only dozens of tanks were destroyed in the whole Polish battlefield; This result became a little terrible when it came to the French campaign. The German army lost hundreds of tanks. Although these losses were still insignificant compared with their opponents, it was not so easy to win. Since the beginning of the Soviet German battlefield, the number of German tanks lost has risen sharply, and now it is approaching the threshold of 1OOO. These losses are insignificant in front of the huge production capacity of German combat vehicles, but for the German armored forces, they are already heavy losses. If compared with the time when Germany was just preparing to build its armored forces, these 1OOO tanks were the total equipment of the three German armored divisions. In other words, it also means that about three German armored divisions have been completely annihilated. Unconsciously, the German army has lost almost one of its main armored forces. However, it is questionable that most of these lost tanks were new units recently in service. Because of the rapid expansion of the German armored forces, their training was seriously insufficient and their tanks were relatively old. Therefore, they were annihilated by the Soviet army in the brutal battle. Although the loss was quite large, it almost did not affect the degree of German army expansion, nor did it affect the quality of German armored forces. It should be noted that the improvement of Soviet tanks in firepower and armor was also one of the reasons for the increase of German tank losses. When the electronization of the tank has not improved the performance of the tank qualitatively, firepower and armor protection can quickly pull in the gap between the two sides in tank quality“ In any case, everything will not be known until Stalingrad is finished! " Acardo stares at the map with his hands behind his back. I don't know whether it's to himself or to marshal brauchich. He says something like this - there are still updates today. Don't go away. After the advertisement... Er... Cough, in a word, just don't go away!
