Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2550 Fear of ancient times
Zhang Zizhong played Tai Chi and pushed three times and four times, Brother Timoshen was in a hurry.While ordering the 21st Army and 62nd Army under his command to speed up to enter the battlefield and be ready to join the battle at any time, he ordered his staff to dial the phone number of the Far East Expeditionary Force Headquarters and decided to persuade Zhang Zizhong "face to face".The Soviet Russians didn't care about being reserved. After the call was connected, they straight to the point stated the reason why they wanted to launch a decisive battle in advance, and repeatedly stated that Guderian and the Second Armored Army were terrible-"Guderian's tactics are not complicated. It is to use the speed of its mechanized troops to penetrate at high speed and then break through from point to point. To counter the German tactics, as long as we have armored forces of equal quantity and quality, we don’t have them, and neither do you. So I think that in order to avoid this situation, we can only defeat Army Group A to a certain extent, and then concentrate our efforts on establishing fortifications in the Sabie area..."

As one of the few marshals of the Soviet Red Army, Timoshenko is by no means a vain man. When commanding the defense of Stalingrad, if Hitler hadn't suddenly given up interfering in front-line warfare, Guderian's second armor would have been destroyed. The army group suddenly appeared on the Stalingrad battlefield, then he could defend Stalingrad and defeat Manstein just like that time and space.In that case, the trend of the Soviet-Russian battlefield may enter the predetermined historical track just like that time and space.After the failure of the Battle of Stalingrad, Timoshenko summed up the reasons, and the focus of hatred fell on Guderian and his Second Panzer Army.At first, Timoshenko and his colleague Chuikov were unbelievers.They always thought that there must be some way to break Guderian's blitzkrieg tactics, so the two organized a counterattack one after another, concentrating the armored forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army to get rid of Guderian and his Second Armored Army.The two counterattacks were recorded in the world's military history because the total number of tanks deployed by both sides was more than [-], and the results were without exception.The Soviet Russians did not lose money by stealing chickens, but Mifei failed to deal a heavy blow to Guderian and his Second Armored Army as he wished. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity to have a beautiful "blitzkrieg" and suffered heavy losses.It is precisely because these two counterattacks almost exhausted the armored forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army. In the subsequent battles, the Soviet Russian Red Army completely lost the capital to confront the German armored forces.Then, after the Germans transferred the rocket troops that had made great contributions to the offensive and defensive battle of Britain to the Soviet Russian battlefield, the Soviet Russians completely lost their capital to fight the German army.

Defeated again and again, and all lost to Guderian and his Second Armored Army. This certainly made Guderian's reputation famous, but it also made the Soviet Russians change their faces when they heard of Guderian, and they no longer had the ability to face the second armored army directly. The courage of the Panzer Army.

Zhang Zizhong has been in Soviet Russia for a long time, and has known through various channels that Soviet Russians have a fear of ancient times.And with the deepening of understanding, his attitude has also developed from being disapproving at the beginning to being cautious now. "Guderian and his Second Panzer Army are indeed worthy of vigilance, but will he be able to stop his blitzkrieg simply by defending positions? No, I don't think so. I read the information provided by you about the Battle of Stalingrad According to the battle reports related to the counterattacks of Arista and Gurli, I found that the reason why your army suffered losses from the Second Armored Army in these three battles was not because the weapons and equipment were inferior to the opponent, but precisely because of the tactics. ..."

Zhang Zizhong's words are a bit of a scar, and because the Soviets have always attributed the loss to the Second Armored Army to the equipment gap, his words are even more embarrassing.Sure enough, before Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, Brother Timoshen couldn't help it.He suppressed his anger and said: "General, there is absolutely no problem with our tactics. Okay, let's take some time to discuss this issue. What tactics do you think we should adopt at that time?"

If it were another person, he might give up continuing this topic at this time to ease the atmosphere, but Zhang Zizhong is such a direct person, so he would not care about Timoshen's feelings at all.Since Zhang Zizhong dared to criticize Timoshenko, he naturally conducted relevant tactical research.In the next decisive battle, he is also preparing to use the tactics he has developed to deal with Guderian's blitz. "It's very simple. Why do we have to stop the Germans' blitzkrieg? We can completely give up the frontal attack and attack their weak points. The terrain of Soviet Russia is complicated, and not every place is suitable for tank combat, and this is exactly what we Alright, Marshal, since you insist on a decisive battle ahead of time, I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany the gentleman. But because we still have reinforcements yet to arrive, the main force can only be taken by your army. But please rest assured, if the battle persists If it is unavoidable to face Army Group A and the Second Panzer Army at the same time, the Second Panzer Army will be dealt with by us!"

Brother Timoshen had already been hurt by what Zhang Zizhong said before, so now that Zhang Zizhong agreed to his proposal for an early decisive battle, he was in no mood to continue talking to Zhang Zizhong.He handed over the phone to his chief of staff, and asked the latter to be responsible for communicating with the expeditionary force on the issue of joint operations, and then walked into his office to issue combat orders.

The movement of the Soviet Red Army had been captured by Manstein at this time, and he immediately realized that the Soviets were preparing to take the initiative to attack.He and Timoshenko are also considered old rivals, so it is not surprising that he reacted like this.On the battlefield of Osa, the strength gap between the Axis army and the Soviet army had not reached the point where the Axis army could crush the Soviet army. If these two accidents are defeated like chopping melons and vegetables, the balance of victory and defeat will be evened.If Timoshenko could not seize this opportunity, Manstein would have to wonder if the other party had some kind of conspiracy.

The Soviets are about to launch an offensive, and Manstein is not afraid of this: "Timoshenko seems to want to further expand his advantage before the Second Panzer Army joins the battle, but is our A Army really so easy to bully? China What about people? Are there any changes in the Chinese? To be honest, I am only worried about the Chinese now. Don’t you think Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, has an unusual commanding style?”

The Sabi counterattack failed, and the Italian Sixth Infantry Division was accidentally defeated by the Japanese Peace Army. Many commanders of Army Group A thought that this was the reason for underestimating the Japanese combat power, but Manstein did not think so.What he saw from this was Zhang Zizhong's commanding ability, and he also paid special attention to this Chinese opponent.
