My Third Empire

Biquge www.readwn.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Just such a map is a work that is hardly outlined by German spies. If you use the map in the hands of the Soviets, the Germans can walk 20 kilometers a day in the wilderness, which is estimated to be fast. ︾,

The German advance was indeed not slow. With the cooperation of the Soviet forces under Zhukov's command, the German forces advanced several hundred kilometers in just 15 days, and even encircled Smolensk, which Stalin claimed not to lose. However, along the way, the German transport situation fell into a "catastrophe".

The first is the old problem that the Soviet railway standard is different from the European railway standard. Although Germany helped the Soviet Union improve some railway construction standards in the early days, it did not solve all the problems. At least in the Moscow region where railways are dense, the Soviets still used their own standards because of cost issues, which caused the Germans to encounter a dilemma near Smolensk.

Then there is the Soviet road, which is also not the kind of asphalt road in the minds of the Germans. Most Soviet roads are paved with dirt. According to German standards, they are completely temporary roads. These roads combined with snowfall reduced the German's road transport efficiency by almost half.

The German ** team originally used the IWC car because of capacity problems: cars from the British, French and Belgian Allied Forces, and civil vehicles from their own countries were requisitioned. The situation is slightly better. The car from the source behaves differently when dealing with mud, which seriously affects the German advancement speed.

Horses and mules became the main means of transportation for the Germans to supply supplies to the front lines. This efficiency made the A group army with the highest degree of mechanization in the central front miserable. The Tiger King tank and the Tiger tank, as well as a large number of Leopard tanks and armored vehicles, became real oil tigers, making Lunderstedt very difficult every step forward.

The current situation is not how fierce the Soviet resistance is, but looking at the road that seems to have no end, so that the Germans have lost the courage to take another step forward. Because every step forward, they will lose more cans, more oil, more ammunition supplies, which sounds desperate.

"And we need time to clean up the guerrillas, resistance, and pro-Soviet civilians behind us." Lundstadt continued helplessly to Akado: "These people will try to destroy our transportation system and attack our Transport teams, blow up bridges, destroy railways, we must move out our troops to expel and suppress these enemies. "

"Various things have affected our experience. In fact, the arrival of the SS Armed Forces has eased some of our pressure, at least in my troops, this is the case." Lundstedt I did not forget to support Akado: "But these troops need better training, which is the best way to reduce their casualties."

"At this point, I agree that the Army can train these SS armed forces to make them better at accomplishing their combat missions." Akado nodded and gave the marshal who supported him.

Seeing Akado agree with his opinion, Lundstedt considered himself enough and continued to complain. After all, the real war cannot be done by the coach on the map, wherever the troops want to fight: "My head, another problem is the flanking security of the southern and central clusters."

He said while pointing to a vast area on the map and said to Akado: "As the war continued, the southern cluster of our army advanced too fast, which led to the extension of the Volga River from the west bank to Sri Lanka. On the outskirts of Morinsk, on such a long front, our army is seriously underpowered. "

"Along such a long line of defense, in the middle of the southern cluster and the central cluster, is the 1st Army of Ukraine in turn. This army lost a lot in the battle to capture Kharkiv." Lundstedt pointed out The northern area of ​​the M Group Army in Manstein said to Akado: "Next to this Group Army is General Model D's Group Army."

Then he pointed at the flanks of the f group army, and then introduced: "General Kluger's flanking flanks are also underpowered. There is a group army in Romania, and further south is the Italian expeditionary force."

Now the German military division is like this, the northernmost is a group army in Finland, then the e-group army in Liszt. These two army groups formed the northern cluster of the German army, the main direction of attack was Leningrad, the northern town of the Soviet Union.

In the middle is Marshal Lundstedt ’s a group army, and further south is General Kluger ’s f group army, plus Romania ’s 1st group army, and the Italian expeditionary army, these troops have just been organized to attack Smolensk Central cluster in the direction of Moscow.

Then further south, Moder ’s d army, Ukraine ’s 1st army, Manstein ’s m army and Guderian ’s g army, such a strong force formed the southern cluster, the purpose is to fool the Soviet Union Caucasus oil production base.

The original idea was simple. Place the most defensive Model among several less reliable ally of the Axis Powers, and rely on the d group army to strengthen the unstable plate of the entire defense line. However, as the war progressed, the German offensive continued to advance, resulting in the entire front line being elongated and extended, so that the d group army could not effectively cover the flanks of each cluster.

Akado no longer has a military talent, and also understands Marshal Lundstedt ’s worries. He has to admit that this line of defense is fragile, and as the war progresses, he cannot be effectively compensated and even for a short period of time. strengthen. Once the Soviet Red Army launched a counterattack on these areas, even if several German Army Groups in the southern cluster were not encircled and the whole army was overwhelmed, they would be forced to retreat to end the Caucasus battle, which would be a great situation.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union is now anxious to shrink the defense line, and not so much troops are invested in the counterattack, or the entire Soviet high level has been stupid by the victorious Germans. They have not yet correctly analyzed their positions and have considered counterattacks. This kind of thing. So this line of defense is currently considered safe, but once Zhukov is allowed to draw his hand, then expecting these allies to hold on to the line of defense might as well be expecting something else to happen.

Sometimes Arcado really feels very helpless. There is really such a country in the world. Its territory is so large that the unfavorable tank, aircraft and artillery are small in front of it. It is like a worm. The blitzkrieg had to be used several times in this country, but as a result, the war could not be ended.

"For this kind of thing, it is necessary to ask the relevant person in charge of the army logistics department. When the n-group army, o-group army, and p-group army can be put into combat, we urgently need to strengthen the forces in several directions. This is not a joke. "Akado looked at several generals sitting far away. They were officers responsible for the logistics of the German army.

One general is pulling out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and another general is desperately wiping his monocle. Obviously, they do n’t want to answer the question of Head of State Akado head-on. After all, the schedule they give is really shameful. But when things are about to come, I have to talk about it without saying anything.

"My head of state is not the delay of the logistics department. It is really the equipment and personnel needed by these group troops. There are too many differences." A general finally wailed in reply: "The J group army that established General Hult At that time, the production of weapons was almost unable to keep up, so we had to adjust some assault rifles and g43 weapons that should be given to other troops, and then everyone made up with the stocked Mauser 98k rifles. "

"This is just a gap in the rifle, artillery, iron fist anti-tank rockets, cars, armored vehicles ..." he said, and he had brought up a crying cry. Crazy: "I'm not complaining. In fact, the industrial sector has provided so much weaponry and equipment that it surprised our logistics department, but the speed of our military expansion is really too fast. Two years ago, we had less than one million. Troops, now we have to gather weapons, ammunition and food for the 7 million troops. "

The German army does not actually have 7 million troops, but some SS security forces need to be armed with weapons, and German allies from time to time import weapons from Germany to enhance their military strength. This back and forth caused the German army. The distribution of weapons is stretched.

The several army groups formed later are basically searching for German stocks. Most of the troops of Manstein are using Mauser rifles. Although his troops have a large number of artillery, they have gathered the calibers of several countries in Britain, France and Germany. Model, in fact, the logistical pressure is very huge.

On the surface, the German armored forces made a rapid attack on the front, but in the background, the logistics department was fighting together, and the thousands of tons of oil that was accumulated were disappearing like evaporation. Now the production capacity of the Romanian oil field is not enough to squander the Germans. The current offensive has begun to consume the domestic strategic stocks of Germany.

The German navy has stopped large-scale voyages to the oil issue. Only submarines are still active in the waters around Iceland, and even routine patrols by reconnaissance planes have been canceled on a large scale. The German garrison in France retains only 60% of its strategic reserves and less than 70% in Germany. All these data are known to Akado.
