Rise from the sword

Chapter 605
Eastern line.

From June of [-] in Barbarossa's plan to August today, this war, which is enough to compete for the largest battle in human history, has been fought for three years and two months.

At the beginning of the battle, the German blitzkrieg shocked the world. Millions of Slavs were annihilated and surrendered. For the first time, the world saw the true power of tank groups.

However, the world is impermanent and no one can predict it.

Then,

Outside the city of Moscow, the Blitz was mired in the quagmire, the German blade was held tightly, and 50 German elites were buried in the bitter cold.

In Stalingrad, there were seven months of brutal street fighting, including the Sixth Army, and 70 German cannon fodder were buried in the streets and alleys.

So far, everyone in the world has once again seen the vast depth of the Slavs, the severe cold of Moscow that once blocked Napoleon's army, and the animal-like tenacity of polar bears.

As of the mid-to-late period of [-], the fort plan failed. Due to the loss of a large number of armored forces, Germany completely lost its offensive capabilities.

The situation on the Eastern Front changed drastically.

From this moment on, hordes of Slavs waved their whips and drove T34s to launch a counterattack. The Germans mounted mules and horses, pushed tigers and leopards, and began to defend with their tails between their legs.

It also started from that day.

Germany is getting weaker and weaker, and the Slavs are getting stronger and stronger.

Still the same sentence, the world is impermanent, and no one can predict it.

Beginning in mid-June this year, the situation changed drastically again.

then.

The world's new rogue Germany and the world's old lunatic Slav have been switching offense and defense for nearly a year.

The veteran German generals Marshal Manstein and Marshal Kleist resigned, announcing the complete end of mobile warfare, and the Eastern Front began to implement rigid defensive tactics from the head of state.

Fortunately, after a year of defense, the German hooligans have summed up a lot of experience in defensive operations, and they have mastered the defense in depth.

At this time, the Germans had a defensive position as deep as 120 to [-] kilometers. After many times of actual combat, the construction of the position became mature, and there were basically no large loopholes.

Even at this time, the strength of the German fast troops is far behind the Slavs, and the few armored armies are just superficial. The seven armored armies formed by the Bislavs are essentially the same as ordinary infantry, and they are directly deployed on the ground. .

In other words, the Germans don't actually have a strong quick-response reserve team.

And there is a serious shortage of supplies.

But the Slavs' offense is still very difficult.

Battle after battle has proved that it is very difficult to break through the enemy's well-prepared defensive positions, and the attacking troops must pay a very high price.

As the Slavs who have played several classic defensive battles, the Slavs who are proficient in defensive battles naturally know this truth well.

Just like that rough character, the coping strategy that the Slavs came up with was also very simple and rude, that is to concentrate more troops, more artillery, and more tanks, just like a 'giant hammer' to smash the enemy's defense line.

To put it simply, it is to assign a large number of tanks and artillery to the attacking infantry to carry out comprehensive fire suppression on the enemy's defensive positions to complete a forced breakthrough from the front, and to quickly expand the gap by taking advantage of the enemy's lack of fast mobile reserves and the inability to block the gap in time , Break through in depth, divide and encircle and annihilate the enemy.

When he had advantages in military strength, firepower, and armor, this trick was tried and tested.

But mid-June.

Without warning, the German Eastern Front suddenly pulled out more than 5000 Panzer IV tanks, double the number of armored vehicles, and more than 128 guns with a caliber of more than 150, and even most of them were large-caliber long-range guns such as [-] and [-]. Suppress the artillery.

More than 5000 tanks and five full mechanized armies have completely reversed the situation of the armor forces of both sides.

Relying on nearly [-] half-track armored vehicles, it made up for the serious lack of mobility of the German rogue infantry, and also made up for the lack of troop traction and transportation capabilities.

With nearly [-] large-caliber artillery pieces, the artillery of both sides can fight back and forth. With sufficient supplies, they can even gradually suppress the Slavic artillery clusters.

Suddenly, in addition to the strength of the troops, the strength of the Slavic cattle and the German hooligans was reversed.

In mid-to-late July, with the arrival of more tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, even the German servants were stuffed with a lot of weapons and equipment, and their strength increased greatly, making the Slavs have to allocate more troops to contain them.

Fortunately, Germany seems to have not expected to get this batch of equipment. The troops were not fully familiar with the performance of the tanks and armored vehicles in their hands, and even some tank crews rushed to participate in the battle when there were no members. In addition, the hysterical The frequent intervention of patients gave Slavic a great opportunity.

Fortunately for the former, the excellent quality of soldiers allowed the troops to quickly adapt to the newly acquired tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, and fully utilize the strength of these more advanced weapons and equipment.

But for the latter, the interruption of the battle situation was extremely serious, and a large number of fighter planes were lost, which was comparable to an army group of the enemy army.

This battle lasted for a full month and a half.

Starts in mid-June and ends in early August.

In this battle, the two sides reproduced and even far surpassed the armored brilliance of the Fortress Project. Over [-] tanks fought against each other, and also copied or even far surpassed the data of the Fortress Project.

The combined losses of tanks and armored vehicles on both sides exceeded five figures, and the combined losses of soldiers exceeded seven figures.

Note that these are losses, not casualties.

After this battle, the Eastern Front fell into complete silence. Although the German hooligans won a big victory, the tanks and armored vehicles in their hands were still fully manned. The losses in the previous few battles were too great.

In this battle, the loss of troops was not small.

Equipment can be replenished at any time, and supplies can be replenished at any time, but people are not so fast. Even lightly wounded people need at least two months to recover, and they are unable to launch an attack in a short time.

The Slavs also lost too many soldiers and technical weapons, and they urgently needed to be replenished.

But neither the intermittent hysteria patient nor the bearded man with a pipe in his mouth could accept the current situation. They were all secretly accumulating strength, and the calm east front was undercurrents.

A bigger storm is brewing.

During this period, some very interesting things happened.

The world is always full of fools, especially in the European plains. Yesterday, I followed this big brother, clung to my thigh, and shouted my loyalty, but today I saw the situation is not good, so I quickly replaced him. , clinging to the former new eldest brother, and fighting the infatuated boss.

However, in essence, this is actually the sorrow of the weak.

After successfully blocking the Slavic counterattack and securing the line of defense, the hometown of Santa Claus who was about to surrender, the Land of Thousand Lakes, immediately braked and continued to cling to Germany's thigh.

Simultaneously.

With the abundant supplies of the new German hooligans, especially the unimaginable abundance of food, cotton, medicine, and fuel in the warehouse, the hysterical patient seemed to have fallen ill after filling up his own warehouse.

Suddenly, he showed mercy and ordered sufficient supplies to all countries.

Food, clothing, medicine, and fuel are all supplied, and the expansion of light industries in various countries is organized to meet the needs of the German people and the army, and then printed marks are purchased.

After all, there are only food, weapons, fuel, medicines, military trucks, etc. in the warehouse, but no clothes, shoes, cars, etc. These commodities.

This action immediately stagnated the original undercurrent of resistance in various countries.

Humans are truly incomprehensible creatures.

The country was captured by the enemy, which caused me to starve for several years, be bullied for several years, and be arrested by the enemy for the domestic elite. The value of hatred is full, but suddenly, the enemy shows mercy.

A large number of orders rushed in, waving the mark to purchase frantically, and released the warehouse, and provided enough food, fuel, medicine, etc., it can be said that food, drink, and use are all available.

A large number of jobs have been spread out, and a large number of marks have flowed into the hands of people from various countries in the European plains. Visible to the naked eye, life has improved, prices are only stable, and supplies are abundant, even much better than in my previous country.

The turbulent resistance dissipated immediately, leaving only a little wave.

For example, in a certain place called Bolan, the scale of the uprising was directly reduced to less than one-tenth of the scale.

Of course, that hysterical patient is not an idiot to become the head of a country. He naturally has his own ideas.

He understood the shortcomings of Germany, such as insufficient population and insufficient soldiers, so he focused on those occupied areas, although they were all inferior things.But it's okay to start as cannon fodder.

He organized propaganda and brainwashing, branded himself as a good person, demonized the enemy, and several scapegoats for corruption and bribery were shot in public. Soon, the hatred was transferred.

As a result, the raging guerrillas suddenly found that there were many, many fewer people supporting them, and many members of the team left one after another, and some even joined the enemy's troops.

·····
"Chen Fan?"

In a palace in Moscow, a bearded man with a pipe in his hand looked at the investigation information in his hand, and frowned:
"This is the person who provided them with equipment, ammunition, and supplies?"

Those new tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, cars that suddenly appeared in the army, and a large amount of fuel and food that appeared in Germany must not have been produced by the Germans themselves, which is easy to investigate.

"Yes."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs replied.

His tone of reply was trembling.

This trembling was obviously noticed by the bearded man with a pipe in his mouth, and he also understood that there was a problem in the investigation, so he took off his beloved pipe, stared at the person in charge, and frowned even deeper.

"Where is he?"

"Which faction does it belong to?"

"How was it transported?"

Chen Fan, the bearded man knows this person.

A long time ago, this person appeared in the intelligence about the Republic of China battlefield. The intelligence said that at that time, this person provided a large amount of materials, equipment, and even industrial facilities to the guerrillas in the mountains of the Republic of China.

Including tanks, planes, artillery, and a million-ton steel plant.

It caused a lot of trouble for the Japanese, forcing the Japanese to continuously deploy the Kwantung Army to deal with it, even if it failed one after another.

But at that time, his main focus was on the Eastern Front, so he didn't pay too much attention, and it was also a good thing for him that those people became stronger.

Because of this incident, our side asked the group of guerrillas to provide some information about Chen Fan and the source of the supplies, but the other party refused. There were also some small frictions between the two sides, and the relationship was downgraded.

However, none of this matters.

No matter who Chen Fan is or which faction he belongs to, as long as he finds out the location of his base and the way to transport equipment and materials, he can cut off his aid to the Germans.

He believes that the power spreads all over the world, and allies with absolute naval superiority have this strength.

"It's not clear yet."

The person in charge wiped his forehead, his tone lowered a bit.

As soon as these words came out, the expression of the bearded man with the pipe in his mouth changed suddenly.

At this moment, he was thinking about whether it was time to change to a more capable person. The supplies of tens of thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and cars could not be found. Such a simple matter could not be completed.

The person in charge seemed to see something, and immediately added:

"We have contacted the British and American allies, and they are also doing their best to investigate this Chen Fan, and the investigation time is longer than ours, but there is no investigation result, not only the faction, transportation route, production base, but even the appearance of this person , are not clear."

"We also looked through Japanese information through intelligence personnel, and they didn't find any useful information. The only thing we know is that this person first appeared four and a half years ago, in Cangyunling, Shanxi."

"The Germans are also investigating, but they don't have any useful information."

Hearing this news, the bearded man almost dropped his pipe.

This news was beyond his expectations.

The Japanese, the British, the Germans, the Americans, and themselves, gathered the most powerful countries in the world, but they couldn't investigate this person, which was unexpected by the bearded man.

"Continue to investigate."

"Find this person at all costs."

"I want to see the news within a month."

After a moment of silence, the pipe was slammed on the table, and the ash was blown away with a harsh tone:

"otherwise······"

"Yes."

The person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was dripping with cold sweat.

The enemy received aid, and his own troops suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses. Once he could not investigate the source of the enemy's large quantities of supplies, it would be his serious problem and mistake. Waiting for his results, I am afraid it will not be good.

No one can keep him.

At this time, the person in charge suddenly thought of the person Chen Fan had been in contact with four years ago.

That group of people has a good relationship with our own side, so we can try it out, or influence it, or at the very least, put pressure on it directly, as long as we can get information, it's just a local force anyway.

"leader."

A general chimed in:

"Compared to cutting off the supply channels of the Germans, the most important thing now is how to solve the current crisis."

"We lost too much in the last battle."

"Nowadays, the tanks of almost all troops on the front line have less than one-fifth of their full-staffed artillery, and their ammunition has also been exhausted. Many troops have lost one-third of their personnel."

"What we have to do is to quickly replenish our troops, replenish tanks, artillery, and ammunition, so that the troops can restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, once the Germans attack, we won't be able to stop them."

"You know, the German army has plenty of tanks and artillery, which are several times more than ours. Now they haven't launched an attack because of insufficient troops and muddy roads blocking them."

"Once their strength is replenished, they will definitely launch another attack."

After the general's words fell, suddenly, a guy with a round belly and looking rich waved his hands and shouted loudly:

"conscription."

"Continue to recruit, we need more troops, more people to participate in the defense of the motherland."

"As for supplies, we can ask our allies to provide them."

"This month, the supplies provided by the allies every day are twice as high as before. We can let them provide tanks, aircraft, artillery, and ammunition."

Apart from this howl, the rest of the senior officials and generals in the palace fell silent.

This matter is more imminent, but also more difficult.

They are very clear that the war has reached the present, and their side is already at the limit. Whether it is population mobilization, or material supply and production, it is already the absolute limit.

If it hadn't been for the success of our side's victories since last year, the frontline troops might have collapsed.

There is really no way to speed up the conscription and the production of weapons and materials.

The factory is already at its limit, and tank production cannot be accelerated. As for conscription and replenishment, it is impossible. Now domestic mobilization is already at its limit, and there are only so many recruits. If we increase our efforts, there will be fundamental problems.

But at this time the front line was in jeopardy, and the German attack was imminent. From the thousands of tanks that had been replenished again, it could be predicted that the next attack would inevitably be extremely large in scale, and our side needed more troops and more tanks to defend.

The demand is very high, even if the troops around Moscow are transferred there, it will be seriously insufficient, and even if the replenishment of allies is doubled, it will be far from enough.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the rich guy thought about it, and suddenly continued to shout:

"We still have the Far East Army."

"There are 25 troops, 1000 supplementary troops, more than 2000 tanks, and more than [-] artillery pieces (including mortars)."

"Anyway, the Japanese are no longer a threat. There is no need for so many troops here, and we have signed a non-interference treaty with the Japanese."

As the voice fell, the eyes of the generals and the bearded man with a pipe in the palace suddenly lit up slightly.
