Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1264 Victory Gathering

"My son thinks that the best way now is to retreat the troops of the Central Army Group to a line of defense that can last for a long time. For example, here." While talking, Pu Yin leaned over and stretched out his hand to point to a few spots on the map. A small point, "If we can give up all-out assault now, then put the troops here."

"Why did you choose those places as strongholds for our resistance?"

"The reason why I chose those places as strongholds is mainly for the following reasons. First of all, there used to be a strong defense system. The Doryo Fortress in the Mtsensk area of ​​​​Vyazma was once a famous fortress The outer fortifications of Orel are also extremely complete. The defense depth of the Zhekov area is relatively large, and the defense area is relatively narrow, so the defense is also very well utilized. The second point of my choice of these three places is that these three places The points are all in the transportation hubs, Orel, Rhekov and Vyazma regions have complete railway lines and road lines, and Orel and Vyazma have airports. Our trains, cars and even planes are all It is also the most critical that all kinds of supplies and soldiers can be transported in calmly through these transportation lines.

My tactic is: first of all, build solid strategic strongholds in these places, turning them into a bridgehead that can be threatened by advance, and a super fortress that can block the way for the Soviets to break through.Then, we built a new line of defense relying on the strong fortifications and convenient railway system there, and connected the entire line of defense through continuous trenches, barbed wire and minefields to make it a real defense system.At the same time, we should destroy the railways and roads leading there. The advantage of this is that if the Soviets really take the initiative to pursue them, their more fragile supply lines will not be able to support their large forces. Courage and perseverance, the lack of food and fuel will also make their advance into a death attack.And at that time, our troops will be able to wipe out those attackers with little effort. "

"Honestly speaking, your plan is very good, there is almost nothing to be picky about in the details, but you have forgotten one thing, that is, our troops are on the way to attack, and the morale is very high now. If at this time, rashly It is necessary to withdraw the troops from the battlefield. This will have a great impact on the morale of the troops. If the Soviets encounter counterattacks and pursuits, then the entire army will collapse. At that time, Napoleon 1812 This will really happen to us again. This is very unfavorable to us. So this tactic cannot be used. At least it cannot be used at this critical moment." After a pause, Guan Xuqing suddenly said: "Zhen There is a tactic, that is to transfer your armored troops directly to these three areas, and then, after your troops enter here, immediately start building positions to improve the defense system of the entire area. In this way, you can Follow your method to build a complete defense system and the starting position of your troops. At the same time, your troops can also serve as the entire strategic reserve. If the situation on the entire battlefield is more optimistic, then your armored troops can be our backup Forces are sent to the front line to fight, and if the situation on the battlefield is really as bad as you said, then your troops will hold their ground, or serve as a supporting force to prevent the Soviets from completely breaking through our defense line."

"Father, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but the premise is that my troops will be deployed, and there will be problems with the timing. Because, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, there will be a large-scale storm in the entire weather by the beginning of December. The cooling down. Our rash action at this time will not bring any good results to the entire battle situation, on the contrary, it will bury our only armored reserve team here."

"What's your suggestion?"

"My son thinks that our troops cannot be withdrawn now. As I said, although these mechanized troops are useless when attacking Stalingrad, they are quite effective as a mobile defense force in our hands. Especially in La The front line of Lake Dorga. Compared with the Soviet army on the opposite side, our defensive forces there do not have an absolute advantage. The main goal of these armored forces is to be able to stabilize the entire defense line, which is absolutely important."

An hour later, Pu Yin slowly walked out of Qianqing Palace.The air outside was very fresh, and his mood gradually became brighter.

"The emperor agrees with your plan?" Zhao Bingjun came over.

"Father agreed to my battle plan, let me continue to attack Stalingrad, and gave me enough reinforcements." Suddenly, he glanced at the other party and said, "Mr. Zhao, is our military intelligence about the Soviet Union Have they all been sent to the Military Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of War?"

"Yes! I have sent them all! There is not a lot!" Zhao Bingjun said after being stunned for a while: "Didn't you coordinate the relationship between us? Information about politics, economy and diplomacy is under our management. All the information on the Internet was handed over there, and we handed over all the information to them after we received it."

"Hmm!" Pu Yin nodded slightly, and said, "Then, have you sent the information about the Soviets mobilizing the Far East troops to join the war and the information about the possible large-scale cooling of the Soviet Union in the future?"

"Of course!" Zhao Bingjun said very seriously, "The information was urgent, so we gave it to them without any delay. I dare to guarantee it with my life."

"Oh! That's all right!" Looking at Zhao Bingjun's swearing look, Pu Yin knew that the other party would not lie to him.

After the plane bumped in the sky for about 5 hours, Pu Yin finally returned to the headquarters in Dachinoye on the Stalingrad front.At this time, according to the order he issued in Beijing, all the commanders of the first-line forces of the Empire's siege of Stalingrad were waiting for him there.

"Everyone stand up!" Pu Hui, the chief of staff responsible for the order of the venue, quickly shouted after seeing Pu Yin pushing the door in a military uniform.

With a sound of "swipe", all the people at the scene started to fight like a spring, and then turned their faces to Pu Yin who was standing at the door.

"Very good!" Although it is already the early morning of the 19th, the spirits of everyone present are still very strong.He couldn't help being very relieved, but he didn't know why those senior officers were so nervous. In fact, it was all because they just got the news that his boss was received by the emperor in secret.Now the boss is rushing back in such a hurry, it is entirely due to some special reasons.In view of this, none of them dared to be careless, so they came to the headquarters one after another, hoping to leave a good impression in the eyes of their boss.

Seeing that all the people present were sitting in danger, Pu Yin said slowly: "I believe you all already know. The emperor summoned me today, and his meaning is very clear, that is, he wants me to quickly deploy the mechanized troops. Go south to strengthen the attack of the Central Army Group!"

"Om!" After hearing what his boss said, the people present immediately fell into chaos.Obviously, they were taken aback by this order.Because they know that this idea is very unrealistic. Their troops are fighting bloody battles with the Soviets in Stalingrad, and they don't even have enough troops, let alone transfer them.And the road to it has not been easy.The cold winter has come, if you run over to join in the excitement, you will undoubtedly die.Thinking of this, everyone in the venue began to whisper.After a while, Chen Jitang, who was sitting on Puyin's right hand, stood up: "Commander-in-Chief, I think the emperor's order is not in line with our army's current strategy. Stalingrad has not been taken yet. If we withdraw our troops at this time, our The defensive line will face a tough test."

"I know this!" Pu Yin nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party's opinion: "I also explained this to my father. But!" He paused intentionally when he said this, and then glanced at the people present , opened the mouth slowly: "However, the emperor does not agree with our view. He himself insists that the core of the empire's victory lies in the central region. So he believes that we must take it at all costs. Only if we take it, We will be able to achieve the final victory. However, please do not worry. Now the emperor has listened to my explanation of the importance of Stalingrad. He himself also believes that the status of Stalingrad is very important. So, after my explanation, he has already Agree in principle to our request to continue attacking Stalingrad!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.Because everyone knows that the current situation is not as bad as imagined, as long as they can suspend the transfer, then they will have a chance to take down the fortress of Stalingrad, and make a wonderful contribution to their credit book.Compared with the distance, the battle of Stalingrad has reached its final moment.None of them wanted to give up this most fruitful fruit.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pu Yin spoke again: "However, after I made a promise, the emperor asked us to achieve a decisive victory over Stalingrad within a limited time. Moreover, after this specified time, Regardless of Stalingrad must be taken. He gave us only one week!"

"Ah! A week!" There was another burst of noise from all the people present.They thought it was impossible to complete the task in a short period of time, so someone stepped forward immediately.
