my bright sword career

Chapter 412 Declaring War on Japan
The impact of this passage played by Gao Hongming is actually a discipline film about the Battle of Kyiv for later generations. There are all kinds of documentaries such as landing.

Previously, Gao Hongming didn't dare to show it because he was afraid of causing trouble, but now after nearly two years of development, he thinks he has a certain strength, and it is not a big problem to broadcast some events that have already happened.

As the documentary played, everyone also saw the scene of the German army marching. A line of endless tanks formed a long line on the road, and a heavy artillery towed by a truck followed closely behind the tanks.

On both sides of the tanks and artillery, German soldiers followed the armored troops either on trucks or on motorcycles, and the MG34 machine guns on the motorcycles were ready to fire at any time.

The German army came to a small town on the way of marching, and about one regiment of Soviet troops blocked the way of the German army.

It took less than 10 minutes from the discovery to the battle, and tanks surrounded the Soviet army from all directions, and then dense artillery fire almost covered the entire town, and then a battalion of infantry pressed it.

They first used MG34 machine guns to suppress the Soviet firepower, and then bombarded the buildings in the town with mortars and 37 anti-aircraft guns. The whole town was filled with smoke and explosions.

The battle took less than an hour from the beginning to the end, and a regiment of Soviet troops was wiped out. More than 900 of them were killed, and more than 300 became prisoners of war, while the German army only paid more than 100 casualties.

The disciplinary film was watched for more than 90 minutes from the broadcast to the end. After the end, everyone was still immersed in shock. No one spoke for a long time. It was not until the soldiers opened the curtains and the bright light shone in that they came back to their senses.

Li Yunlong touched Ding Wei's arm with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Old Ding, if you were the commander of the Soviet army just now, how long can you hold on?"

Ding Wei smiled wryly: "According to the situation just now, even if the king of heaven came, you can see the fighting power of the German army. It took them less than 10 minutes from marching to encirclement and then to fighting.

Moreover, the entire battle process was like flowing water, and the cooperation between the various arms was also very tacit. The Soviet army had no power to fight back at all. "

"Everyone..."

At this time, Gao Hongming also spoke.

"Everyone has watched the documentary just now, and they should have a certain understanding of the Kyiv campaign.

You have also seen the power of the German blitzkrieg just now. The blitzkrieg is characterized by speed, surprise and concentration. It makes full use of the speed advantages of modern war tools such as airplanes, tanks, armored vehicles, and motorcycles, and executes lightning-like attacks on the enemy at a speed that exceeds the opponent's reaction. blow.

Obviously, in this regard, the Soviet army still lacks understanding of the German blitzkrieg.

In this battle, the Germans were much better than the Soviets in terms of individual quality, command level, and weapons and equipment of the Soviet army, but I think the main reason why they suffered such a disastrous defeat was the failure of the highest decision-making level. question.

From before the battle to the battle, most of the commanders at all levels on the front line of the Soviet army believed that they should not fight the German army head-on, but should use the vast territory and the German army, but unfortunately, they were all rejected by Stalin. This led to the disastrous defeat of this battle.

But we must also see that, looking at the whole world, no country except the Soviet Union can survive the attack of 550 million well-trained German troops, that is, a country with a vast territory, a sufficient population base, and a strong industrialized country Only the Soviet Union can survive this wave of attacks. "

Hearing this, Jiang Dingwen asked: "Commander Gao, what's next? Do you think the Soviets can survive?"

"Of course it can... In my opinion, despite the fact that the Soviet Union is being beaten into a mess now, it is only because it underestimated the crisis of the war, did not fully prepare for it, and made mistakes in strategic guidance. In the early days of the war, the army suffered unbearable losses and horrific casualties.

But once it got over it, it was the Germans' turn to be unlucky. "

Gao Hongming started talking about the economy, population, military, industrial strength of the Soviet Union and Germany, and the world situation. He talked for more than half an hour, and finally concluded: "In summary, the Americans will never sit idly by in their own strength. Seeing the behemoth of the Soviet Union fall, he will definitely do his best to support the Soviet Union, and even support the Asian battlefield including us.

With the assistance of the United States, both the Soviet Union and our country can get a chance to breathe. Once the United States enters the war, the overall situation can basically be settled.

Well, the above is my humble opinion. If there are deficiencies, all officials and colleagues are welcome to criticize and correct. "

Everyone peeked at each other. If it was not confirmed that it was Gao Hongming himself, they would have thought that Jiang Fangzhen, Yang Jie, Bai Chongxi and other top domestic military strategists were standing in front of them.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause in the command hall, and Yan Xishan even gave a thumbs up, "Nephew Gao Xian, you can go to Huangpu as a teacher at your level!"

Li Yunlong and Gao Hongming had known each other for the longest time, and they were also the most surprised among the people present.

Mouth bulging: "My darling, brother Gao actually has such a hand? It shouldn't be, this kind of thing, I guess our deputy commander-in-chief and division commander are at the same level?"

Ding Wei applauded and said in a low voice: "Lao Li, haven't you heard a word? You should be impressed by me for three days. Anyone like you who doesn't know a lot of big characters can't learn it even if he wants to."

The left deputy chief of staff asked curiously: "Commander Gao, just now you said that the Americans will also participate in the war, but as far as I know, the United States is a neutral country. It is not easy to get them to participate in the war, right?"

Gao Hongming nodded: "The United States is indeed a neutral country. The current isolationism in the United States is horizontal. It is not easy for it to participate in the war. But everyone, don't forget that sometimes wars are not based on people's will.

Most Americans don't want to go to war, but they will be forced to, and that day is not far off. "

Perhaps to confirm Gao Hongming's words, as soon as he finished his words, a staff officer hurried in with the sound of the door being opened, and shouted loudly: "Sirs, something serious happened... The Japanese Combined Fleet attacked the U.S. Pearl Harbor, the Americans have declared war on Japan!"

"boom……"

Accompanied by the staff officer's words, all the people present were shocked...
