Chapter 2632 Annoyed Manstein

As one of the founders of the blitzkrieg, Guderian had to give up the familiar blitzkrieg tactics and move forward steadily. According to Schweppenburg's understanding of Guderian, it was more difficult than getting the head of state to give up his speech hobby.Before switching to the Eastern Front, Guderian's idea was still a blitzkrieg, to appear behind the Chinese army without anyone noticing.Now, how many days have passed?Moreover, there was no large-scale battle with the Chinese army at all, and Guderian actually changed his mind. If it was before, this would be a bit incredible and inexplicable to Schweppenburg.But now, after Guderian pointed out the reason, such emotions in his heart disappeared, replaced by shuddering.

The shuddering may be a bit exaggerated, but it is true that Schweppenburg did not dare to think deeply——

There is no doubt that German soldiers have one of the strongest senses of honor among the armies of all countries in the world.Therefore, what the Japanese Peace Army gave them was not only failure, but humiliation.The Germans are no strangers to the Japanese army.This is also the fundamental reason why they dare to look down on the Japanese army.However, it is such an army that they despise, in Sabi, in the northwest of Sabi, it has humiliated the elite Thirteenth Army.Given his understanding of the strength of the Thirteenth Army, Schweppenburg did not think that this was just a failure and shame of the Thirteenth Army and Rundstedt, but a failure and shame of the entire German Army and their senior generals.Because just like Rundstedt, before the war, they did not pay enough attention to the Japanese Peace Army, and even regarded it as a joke, a breakthrough point delivered by the Chinese.Well, if any one of them replaces Rundstedt, they may not be able to turn decay into magic.Special attack tactics were once despised by the Germans, because they felt that they had no technology at all and showed disregard for life.Now, they are thankful that the Japanese invented this tactic, otherwise it would not be enough to explain the outbreak of the Japanese Peace Army.

"But your Excellency, how do you explain it to Marshal Manstein? He sends several telegrams every day—the battle situation on the front line is not optimistic!"

This can be regarded as a hurdle that Guderian cannot avoid. After all, they are now part of Army Group A and are under the command of Manstein.

Guderian was silent, and after a while he said quietly: "Schweppenburg, what do you think Manstein is doing now?"

What is Manstein doing now?At this moment, he was sitting in a bunker in the city of Osa, staring blankly at the sand table in front of him.

Oh, it's not in a daze, it should be strategizing.However, in view of the fact that he has only about one brigade of reserves left in his hand, while the Soviet Russian defense line on the opposite side has not been loosened at all, and the Second Panzer Army has not been able to appear on the battlefield for a long time, he actually has no power to change the current situation. , It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daze.

Manstein is now feeling tired and irritable.The exhaustion was because the stalemate in the war exceeded expectations. Originally, he thought that as long as Rundstedt could block the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force in the southeast of Sabi, then the main force of the group army would be able to completely defeat Timoshenko's troops and win the Olympic Games. Phased victory in the decisive battle of Sasha - in the sand table exercise, once the Soviet army was defeated and driven out of the battlefield, the Chinese army could only retreat in order to avoid being encircled and annihilated.And even if the main force of the group army cannot quickly defeat the Soviet Russian army, then because of the joining of the Second Armored Group Army, the imperial army can form a force advantage over the Chinese army in the Sabi area, and as long as the Chinese army dares to give up the decisive battle in order to preserve its strength, then continue After that, he will be able to gather troops to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Russian army... In that case, even if he cannot completely annihilate the Soviet Russian army, he will be able to explain to Berlin.It’s just now—if it’s an accident that the Thirteenth Army was attacked by the Japanese and caused a huge loss of combat power, it’s also an accident that the Second Armored Army was sniped at Larbu Mountain and was unable to enter the battlefield for a long time. The situation cannot be covered up by accidents when the Soviets are tightly entangled.

Manstein also thought about whether he had missed something, but he couldn't figure out the key point after thinking about it, which made him gradually become irritable and difficult to calm down.The war was in danger of falling into a stalemate. Considering that the weather would be getting colder and more unfavorable to the guest army, Manstein had now begun to pessimistically think about how to get out of this war.

"Even if we can't win, it's good to be able to bring the main force of the army group away from this ghostly place. After all, the Soviets have already lost most of their heavy military industrial bases. In a short period of time, they can't pose a threat to the empire at all..." Such a thought once occurred in his heart, and at this very moment, such a pessimistic thought naturally made him more irritable.

"Report, General Dale called. They were discovered by the Russians in the Linguo area and engaged in fierce fighting. He asked for instructions. Since the sneak attack has been exposed, the troops should be brought back immediately..." The voice of the communication staff machine sounded in the ear, Man Stein let out a breath of foul air slowly, forcing himself to recover from the daze.

Manstein has never given up on taking the initiative to change the situation of the Osa decisive battle, but unfortunately he has not been able to make progress. "Please tell General Dale that I agree with his suggestion," he replied loudly, trying to look as vigorous as possible.

The decisive battle in Osa was definitely the most difficult battle fought by Army Group A after it entered the territory of Soviet Russia. In view of the signs of instability in the morale of the troops, Manstein now attaches great importance to his own image and hopes that through his courage and determination Boost the morale of troops.

Why did the Soviet Russian army suddenly become tough?This is related to a small piece of news circulating among the high-level Soviet Union.

"Everyone knows that the German Second Panzer Army rushed over at the beginning of the war. That's right, it was Guderian's armored unit. Why didn't they see them? This is a good question, let me tell you Ah, I heard from the Supreme Command that the [-]nd Panzer Army has been lured to Chernushka by the Chinese. You are so smart, indeed, how can Chernushka go to the armored units? Let alone the above Thousands of tanks are assembled. Hey, we have reason to believe that our Chinese friends have pushed the German tanks into the numerous rivers of Chernushka... The Chinese are here to help us , They performed so well, how can we justify it if we don’t make some achievements? Comrades, come on!”

War is sometimes such a trifle, and I don't know where an unreliable rumor came out, which actually changed the situation on the Osa battlefield.

Stalin was also very surprised by this.And because the rumors of Shuojin came from the Supreme Command, he even made a special investigation on the matter, only to find that the rumors came from the outside, which made him confused: he came up with this excellent way to boost morale Which one is it?
