Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 84 The battle has reached this point. It’s better to come up with some cash than to take advantage of the big pie.
All three Soviet carriages were released.

At present, not only the central cluster has been severely damaged, but now even the upper army group and the lower army group have been hit simultaneously.

After these two rounds of fighting, the German army had lost more than one million people in just half a month.

What started out as a beautiful wish to spend Christmas in Moscow turned out to be nonsense.

Being able to stay in Minsk for Christmas is a blessing.

Who could have thought that this battle would have this damn outcome.

This reminded William of a mobile game he played in his spare time.

Because I was born as a soldier, I became interested in military-themed games.

In World Conqueror 4, whether you choose the Allies or the Axis Powers, you will face one thing.

When you choose an Allied force and a small country, you will find that the German camp is killing all sides and directly pushing the entire Soviet Union.

But if you choose the Axis Powers, the Soviet Union on the opposite side will kill Germany from all sides, leaving Germany helpless.

Now William has the feeling that how to win is to rely on constantly building turrets and bunkers to survive!
Seeing a cold wave coming from the sky, William knew that autumn was about to enter.

"Everyone strengthen the defense line, especially the anti-gun holes. The deeper the better, and the stronger the reinforcement, the better. You should be prepared to be bombarded by a group of 152mm howitzers! There are even bombardments from 203mm caliber cannons!"

William called a meeting at the company commander level and spoke.

No matter how long the first-line position can hold, the second-line position must be built according to my requirements. A reinforced concrete turret and a group of bunkers are built three kilometers away.

William knew that what was coming was a war of attrition, so he fought against the opponent!

I am good at playing Laizi!

Since you are so ungrateful and have produced so many heavy tanks, and you have no way to deal with them this year, then build a large number of turrets and bunkers to help block each other.

On the outskirts of Minsk, the first-line position, the main position was dug directly to three meters underground. The anti-gun hole was three meters underground, which was four meters deep underground.

There is also a bunker, which is not only three meters of rammed earth but also reinforced with two layers of sandbags. The bottom is supported by large logs. It would take at least multiple 152mm artillery shells to blow up this bunker.

This is a defense line built to deal with the Soviet artillery fire and the massive mobilization of troops.

Seventy thousand Oil workers were brought over from Warsaw, and a [-]-kilometer defense line was forcibly completed in less than a week.

This is an intense workload that doesn’t take people seriously.

However, the [-]-kilometer defense line was quickly completed.

The rest of the area required other troops to plug the leaks, and William was responsible for the 3500-kilometer defense line. He mobilized [-] troops, plus his [-]-strong combined combat regiment.

The headquarters added two more mule and horse infantry divisions to him with more than 2 people.

With more than 3 people defending a [-]-kilometer line of defense, it may seem impossible to defend against this.

In fact, 2 people can build a defense line of [-] kilometers.

But then there would be no mobile troops.

The entire defense line can have a maximum defensive area of ​​ten meters per person, but it is too sparse and easy to be broken through, so it is reduced to a defensive area of ​​6 meters per person.

1000 people is 6000 meters or six kilometers, and 1 people is a 16666-kilometer defense line. Therefore, only [-] people are needed to deploy a [-]-kilometer-long defense line.

The remaining troops will be divided into 20-kilometer sections to deploy reserve units, as well as two mechanized mobile units.

Each one is responsible for an area of ​​fifty kilometers, and the kind that can be reached in one hour at most if support is needed.

All troops were gathered on the front line.William summoned military officers of all levels.

"If our German army retreats in front of you, you can shoot us, a group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death. On the contrary, if you retreat privately, the fate will be the same as ours. Look behind you. Do you know where you will go if you retreat?" You guys, you guys, do you want to see your wife being given birth to by the Soviets or your daughter being given birth to by the Soviets? Or are you happy to see your sons, brothers, and fathers being forced to work to death?"

William's words made the expressions of officers at all levels change.

"Colonel William, please don't worry. If anyone in our division retreats, I will kill him first!"

One of the major generals stood up and expressed his stance.

Everyone stood up one after another to show that they would fight to the end.

"Here are five million pounds! Thirty thousand for generals, twenty thousand for colonels, ten thousand for lieutenant colonels, seven thousand for majors, five thousand for captains, three thousand for lieutenants, one thousand for second lieutenants, five hundred for non-commissioned officers, and two hundred for soldiers. Distribute it!"

William directly lifted two large boxes of pounds and threw them on the ground and said.

These pounds are real pounds!

Because William has produced a one-to-one replica of the British pound.

The money was all withdrawn from the Sun Never Sets Bank.

The counterfeit money was stored away by William's agents. The money was real money exchanged from other countries.

Everyone's eyes glowed when they saw so much money.

Thirty thousand pounds is almost 10 US dollars.

You can completely buy a large farm in Yingjiang and buy the latest Ford sedan and live a comfortable life.

"This money is for your family. Write a letter immediately and send the money back to your address. At least when the war comes, your family will have money to protect themselves. Even if you go abroad, you will have money, and you will have no worries! If you win, there will be money as your reward!”

William knew that any talk of national friendship, family and country sentiments was nonsense.

Let’s get down to something realistic and solve your worries. With so much money, you can defeat the Soviets. For a general, that’s 20 knives!
You can live a rich life even if you retire in place.

So everyone is gearing up to fight.

William was pleased with their condition.

The next day the sky became overcast.

It looks like it's going to rain. This is the first wave of autumn rain, and it's going to cool down next.

I never expected that starting in June, I would toss and toss around Smolensk and then reverse all the way back to Minsk. I spent a busy month here building a defense line and waiting for the arrival of the Soviet army.

Now the first round of autumn rain has arrived.

The sound of raindrops dripping on the helmet kept ringing.

Wearing raincoats and walking in the trenches, the soldiers did a good job with the drainage system. The edge areas were dug relatively low, and a small stream was collecting the excess water and flowing out.

"Well done. The drainage is well done. Let a few smart sentries keep an eye on it while the others go back to rest. Don't catch a cold soon."

William shuttled across the battlefield to remind the officers.

"Yes!"

The officer immediately called the soldiers into the bunker to take shelter from the rain, and at the same time arranged a few smart people to monitor the surrounding situation.
