Chapter 172 Proson will be destroyed

"There is no doubt," Wang Zhong paused, "Prosen is very powerful. If you deny this, you will be disrespectful to those comrades who died on the battlefield."

Wang Zhong pointed to the map on the wall: "Because they are so strong, they now occupy the entire Uropa except Ant. But..."

At this point, Wang Zhong suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup and drank water. As a result, someone below protested: "You should continue talking! Now it's time to talk about our advantages, right? Let's talk about it!"

Wang Zhong: "Don't worry. However, there is a huge difference between us and other countries conquered by Prosin. Look at the map. The Prosin people have been advancing for a month and a half, but they actually only occupied a part of our land. Small portion.

“Compared to other Europa countries, our infrastructure is even worse. Our roads are even less asphalt and most of them are dirt roads. Not only is the density of our railway system much lower than that of developed industrial countries, but also the supporting facilities There are also far fewer facilities such as motorcycle factories than in other countries.

"This may sound like dwarfing oneself, but it is actually true. After the Plosen people entered our country, the supply situation of their millions of troops must have been very bad. When I escaped from Ronezh, I commanded The troops attacked an enemy supply depot.

"We seized a large number of documents from the military depot there. It can be seen from the documents that there was a serious congestion in the logistics traffic of the Plosans."

Wang Zhong's words are half true and half false. It is indeed possible to see from the documents that blockage occurred, but these documents cannot prove that blockage is a common phenomenon.

But as a time traveler, Wang Zhong has information brought by another time and space.

At this moment, Patriarch Belinsky spoke: "Major General Rokossov, so you think the capital can be defended?"

“They didn’t prepare winter clothes.

"Yes." Wang Zhong said firmly, "The enemy turned south. Although the situation of the Southwest Front Army is very bad now, they have more than 600,000 people after all, and the martyrdom of the crown prince has boosted their morale. I think the enemy is once again attacking The attack on the capital should have been in mid-September.

"I want to remind you, Your Excellency, Chief of General Staff, that as we advance, Prosen's supply lines will continue to shorten, and their logistics situation will improve rapidly. At present, we have no way to defeat the well-supplied Prosen army!"

"They can't transport it. After all, before General Winter comes, General Mu is wreaking havoc. At this time, the enemy's logistics will enter a state of semi-paralysis. This is doomed to the fact that the vast majority of Proson troops will not be able to obtain winter clothing, cold-proof equipment, and heating fuel.

Tukhachev said angrily: "You actually have the ambition of the enemy and destroy our own prestige!"

"The muddying period is coming, and as long as they are blocked for a week or two, the mud will force them to stop."

The three virtues of the earth were deceived by the Soviet Union's poor infrastructure at the beginning of Barbarossa, and later they were deceived again under the city of Moscow - of course, this time was mainly due to General Ni and General Winter.

"Of course, with Proson's strong industrial capabilities, winter clothing for millions of troops can be prepared very quickly. However... winter clothing, cold-proof equipment, heating fuel, etc., will occupy another part of the transportation capacity in addition to the daily supply of the troops. "

Wang Zhong scanned the entire room.

"And as the time enters October, the entire Ante will enter a muddying period. All roads will be swallowed up by mud, Prosin trucks will be unable to move, and all the supply burden will fall on the railways. However, as has been said just now However, the condition of our railway network is that the enemy's railways alone are definitely not enough.

Wang Zhong picked up the pointer and gestured on the map: "We observed that the enemy stopped to replenish twice, once two weeks after the attack started, and the second time before the second armored group moved south. The duration of the second replenishment Up to a week.

Wang Zhong: "War is not a battle of spirits, war must be down-to-earth!"

Wang Zhong: "Prosen is very powerful! It is impossible to defeat it quickly, and a quick victory is not advisable! We must be mentally prepared to fight them for three to four years of arduous war!

"The enemy will have to crawl through the mud. Then all their offensives will be hamstrung."

“As the enemy continues to penetrate deeper, supply lines will become longer and their consumption will become more difficult to replenish.

Chief of General Staff Tukhachev frowned: "Have you counterattacked or just returned to the state before departure in September? What kind of counterattack is this?"

Wang Zhong smiled: "You are right, Lieutenant General. But let me remind you that no matter which front we are on, we have not seen the Prossens being issued winter clothes.

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, a lieutenant general asked: "The pulping period is only one month. After freezing, the ground will become hard and easier to pass through than now. What will we do then?"

"The Prossens have carried out continuous 'blitzkrieg' campaigns before, and both the Low Countries and the Carolingians were quickly defeated and surrendered. They will become path dependent and will think that they will fight us for up to half a year.

"I boldly predict that we will have a large-scale counterattack this winter. No matter how much progress they make after September, we will return the front to the state before they set off in September."

Belinsky: "Then winter will come?"

"Yes, the enemy will be weakened, and the time to counterattack will come. Before that, we should accumulate as many troops as possible."

Belinsky nodded repeatedly: "Okay, that's good. This is the best news today, General Rokossov. The best news!"

Wang Zhong: "This is my judgment on the prospects of war. I'm done."

He stepped back and saluted.

Thunderous applause broke out.

Many people stood up and applauded Wang Zhong. Obviously, Wang Zhong's judgment just now was supported by the young officers who could fight.

The lieutenant general who had just asked General Dong what he should do now that the road was easier to travel was drumming particularly hard, and Wang Zhong couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

At this time, Belinsky came on stage again. He seemed to regard himself as the host: "Then let's let Lieutenant General Kasukh talk about it!"

At this time, the lieutenant general who asked the question waved his hand: "No, no, my experience is similar to that of General Rokossov. My suggestion is that General Rokossov can retreat from the front line first and summarize these experiences into a book. , printing in large quantities is much more effective than commanding the troops yourself.”

Wang Zhong thought to himself, I am a good plug-in on the front line, so I should wait until General Dong arrives and the enemy is driven back before summarizing the booklet.

So he replied: "Now that the front line is so tight, it is better to postpone the compilation of the pamphlet. If my prediction is not wrong, the slurrying will start in February next year, and there will be a period of calm before the land dries out again next June. At that time, we will have enough time to publish various pamphlets to introduce our experience to the entire army.”

Someone among the senior officers muttered: "He really thinks he is a contemporary Bonaparte."

Wang Zhong frowned, and all the other Young Officers also looked back.

At this time, Wang Zhong noticed that General Turgenev, who had the same name as the literary giant, shook his head as if he hated iron.

As expected, he is an acquaintance of my father. I will pay him a visit later.

At this time, Belinsky ordered another young man: "Andrei Puper, please talk about your experience in field air defense and teach us how to deal with Stukas-I mean, without magic arrows." situation. Now, thanks to Rokosov, everyone is killing enemy pilots with magic arrows.”

Andre Pupel stood up: "Okay, let me tell you!"

……

The exchange meeting will last until 8 hours on August 11.

After finally disbanding, Wang Zhong found an opportunity to stop General Turgenev: "Hello, General. My maid said that you asked to prepare a room for me in the summer palace."

Turgenev looked at Wang Zhong, who was a head taller than him: "Well, from a close look, he does look like an iron-blooded soldier. Connie will be happy."

Wang Zhong: "Based on the title, you are very familiar with my father?"

"Of course." Admiral Turgenev smiled, "He and I once had an argument about whether to get involved in the civil war. That was more than ten years ago."

At this time, Olga, who had been pretending to be a maid, appeared: "It was General Turgenev who suggested that I go to the church and contact you through the choir. You asked for air force support, and I also asked the general for help. The air force has just been mobilized to support you.

"Did those airmen help?"

Wang Zhong: "That would be a big help, especially the MiG-3 destroyer group you sent. If they hadn't shot down Road 217 where the enemy dropped remote-controlled guided bombs, we might not have been able to break through at night."

Olga smiled: "That helped, that's great."

At this time, Wang Zhong suddenly noticed the details of Olga's words and asked: "General, can you command the air force?"

Admiral Turgenev: "No, I just suggested where they should attack. What's the matter?"

Wang Zhong: "I got the news from the Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who escorted me here. The Yak-1 aircraft, which is good at low-altitude dogfights with the enemy, is a waste in the capital.

“Because the enemy air force that invades the capital enters from high altitude.

"But if the Jacques 1 is placed on the front line, the enemy's Stukas will finish dropping bombs at low altitude, which is exactly the height of the Jacques 1's unique skill. The Jacques 1 can destroy all the Stukas and solve a serious problem."

The general touched the beard on his chin: "Your suggestion sounds good. But, why are you so familiar with the conditions of the Air Force?"

Playing War Thunder!
But I couldn't say that, so Wang Zhong replied: "I learned about it from chatting with the air force pilots."

Admiral Turgenev nodded: "Next time, tell the people in the Air Force that if you want to complain, go directly to their commander. Don't take this turn."

Good guy, Turgenev seems to think that Wang Zhong knew that these were deliberately revealed by the Air Force.

But now that he had mentioned it, Wang Zhong still asked: "At least get a 1st Yak regiment for Shostka where I am stationed! Those planes are useless in the capital!"

Turgenev: "I'll give it a try. I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back and rest first. You should also rest early. And Her Royal Highness, you are the Crown Princess now, and you can no longer wander around in a maid outfit."

Olga gasped: "Oh."
