"Your Excellency, Commander, the troops of the Woolly Bear Alliance have escaped. They fled to the east bank of the Volga River. However, they don't have many troops left and they no longer pose a threat to us. Next, do we need to cross the Volga River?"Marshal Lister looked excited.

Marshal Rundstedt did not answer immediately, but looked at the large map hanging on the wall. The main combat mission of Army Group South is to occupy Ermao and capture the lower Volga River area. After that, we have to go south to the Caucasus and north along the Volga River.

Although the Volga River was not fought during the combat mission of Army Group South. However, Marshal Rundstedt knew very well. Now the troops of the Third Reich are carrying out The third phase of the Barbarossa Operation Plan. Wait until next year, the fourth and final phase of the Barbarossa Operation Plan will be launched. By then, if the Wooly Bear Alliance still refuses to surrender, the Third Reich will The army will continue to launch attacks. Fighting across the Volga River is even more inevitable.

Therefore, Army Group South can take advantage of the fact that the Woolly Bear Alliance has suffered heavy losses and has not yet established a stable foothold on the east bank of the Volga River, and sends troops to fight through it first. Volga River, capture Volgaski and prepare for subsequent attacks on areas east of the Volga River

"Order the 2nd Army to mobilize several divisions, fight across the Volga River, and occupy Volgaski. Then, switch to defense and prepare for the next stage of combat!"Marshal Rundstedt ordered

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander! Marshal List replied.

The next day, Army Group South launched a cross-river operation.

Under the cover of strengthened artillery firepower, the Woolly Bear Alliance had an unstable foothold on the east bank of the Volga, which made them unable to withstand the second wave. The attack of the Three Reichs.

Even though the bridge on the Volga River had been blown up, the troops of the Third Reich still easily crossed the Volga River and established a foothold on the east bank of the Volga River. Subsequently

, the engineers of the Third Reich began to build pontoon bridges. More soldiers and weapons and equipment arrived on the east bank of the Volga River through pontoon bridges.

The remnants of the Josephgrad Front of the Wooly Bear Alliance stationed on the east bank of the Volga River did not have many people. Morale has fallen to the bottom.

So far. When attacking the troops of the Third Reich, the troops of the Bear Alliance did not put up any decent resistance at all and fled directly. The troops of the Third Reich easily captured Volgaski and captured an area on the east bank of the lower Volga River. An important city in the Volga River can be regarded as establishing a bridgehead on the east bank of the Volga River.

In the next stage of the operation, the troops of the Army Group can set off directly from Volgaski to launch attacks in Siberia and even Central Asia.

Of course, in order to ensure the troops and operations Before the supplies can cross the river smoothly, the engineers of the third-party army group must first repair the bridge over the Volga River. Moreover, to ensure the safety of the bridge, a complete air defense system must be established to ensure that the bridge will not be blown up by the Air Force of the Woolly Bear Alliance. It is best to build a few bridges, which will be safer.

As for the beginning of the fourth phase of the battle, everything depends on the Woolly Bear Alliance.

At this point in the war, it is impossible for the Woolly Bear Alliance to have a chance to make a comeback. Even, I think It is impossible to continue to survive.

If the Woolly Bear Alliance recognizes the situation, voluntarily gives up resistance, chooses to surrender unconditionally to the Third Reich, and allows the Third Reich to slaughter it, then everything will be easy to handle. The Third Reich vs. Woolly Bear The Alliance's war will end here.

But if the Woolly Bear Alliance still refuses to admit defeat at this point, then the war will continue. The armies of the Third Reich and many slave countries will continue to launch attacks. , until the entire Wooly Bear Alliance is completely destroyed by force.

What Army Group South is doing now is to prepare for the next battle

"Your Excellency Commander, according to Plan Barbarossa, we have to launch an attack in the direction of the Caucasus in the next stage. The Turks have been attacking the Caucasus. However, no breakthrough was achieved. In other words, they didn't use real power at all and were just perfunctory. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the troops deployed by the Wooly Bear Alliance in the Caucasus to withstand their attack."Marshal Lister said.

In order to win over Turkey, the Third Reich could use the Dardanelles Strait and the Bosporus Strait to enter the Black Sea and ensure that the supplies of the Third Reich's Southern Army Group could be completed by sea. To Turkey The Turks have promised to allow them to expand towards the Caucasus. They have also allocated the southern region of the Caucasus to the Turks. However

, perhaps it is to preserve their strength, or they want to be the backbone. The Turks are here During the First World War, they did not try their best. Most of their troops lingered in the border areas. It was not until the Third Reich had gained a decisive advantage on the battlefield of the Woolly Bear Alliance that it began to attack.

After encountering the troops of the Woolly Bear Alliance After the stubborn resistance, the Turks' progress was very slow.

"snort! The Turks just wanted to take advantage. Based on their performance in this war, they are not worthy of sharing too many benefits. After the war is over, just let them obtain part of the territory of the Transcaucasus region. As for other territories, especially the Baku area, they naturally belong to the empire!"Marshal Rundstedt said.

The Baku area has oil fields with huge reserves and huge output.

It is currently the most important oil-producing area of ​​the Woolly Bear Alliance.

As early as the period of the Woolly Bear Empire, this place has already become a An important oil-producing area that is indispensable to the empire.The Bear Empire relies on the oil production here to maintain a huge army.

During the period of the Woolly Bear Alliance, the oil produced here was once a key material in the trade between the Woolly Bear Alliance and other European countries. Naturally, it also made the Third Reich salivate.

Although the Third Reich now owns a large number of overseas oil fields, whether it is the oil fields developed in northern Libya or the oil fields to be developed in the Middle East in the next step, the output is huge. But the Third Reich would not let go of the mature Baku oil fields.

In early October 1944, after consulting the Supreme Command of the Third Reich, Army Group South mobilized two infantry groups and two infantry groups from the Caesar Kingdom Expeditionary Force. They moved south from Josephgrad and began to march toward the Caucasus. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
