my head

ps: Group 208912025, come to my brothers, and let the fallen leaves suck away rain or shine.

Rommel immediately replied without thinking:

"The two regiments have six hundred six-barrel rocket launchers and more than 500 cannons."

"Where's the ammunition?"

"Three cardinal ammunition."

"How's our shipping going?"

"The railway is being repaired urgently. It may take 7 days to complete the repair. We can still rely on our trucks for transportation."

Although the strength of the Southern Army Group was small enough this time, Zhang Jun took advantage of his position as the German Equipment Department to obtain 40 trucks for the entire Southern Army Group, while the other two Army Groups only had 60 trucks. It is also 190 kilometers away from the German-Soviet border. Zhang Jun can get at least 20 trucks to support Rommel's attack on Odessa. The 20 trucks need to support the SS supply mission in the northern section.

Artillery is not lacking in Germany at all. It can be said that artillery is the most remaining in the German national weapons reserve. Zhang Jun's SS army has 5 million people. According to the formal establishment, it can be equipped with about 500 large-caliber artillery. Cannons and small-caliber artillery are countless.

Didn't Zhang Jun create 12 new SS infantry divisions?Each division has 16800 people. Zhang Jun directly ordered to evacuate most of the cannons in the German National Weapons Reserve, and formed 6 SS artillery divisions. Each division is equipped with more than 120 cannons and 1000 pieces. A super abnormal artillery division , In this way, the large-caliber artillery of the entire Southern Army Group reached more than 6500 and more than 1200 rocket launchers.These artillery forces are completely comparable to the National Defense Forces of the Northern and Central Army Groups.

That's Zhang Jun's idea.I don't have as many people as the group army above you.But I must not have fewer artillery than you. Besides, there is no shortage of German artillery. The SS moved artillery from the German National Arms Stockpile, and it would not make them feel too much resistance. Not righteous.

"My deputy commander, don't worry, I will send you 5 SS artillery divisions, and there are 20 trucks to assist you. But I will send two heavy tank divisions to reinforce our assault group. This medium-sized Tanks fighting in street battles are really easy to be destroyed by the Soviets, so it is better to transfer them away.”

"Commander-in-Chief, there are only 6 armored divisions left to attack Odessa! Will there be no problem facing 20 Soviet troops?"

Zhang Jun did not directly answer Rommel's question, but came to the huge color photo map, picked up a command stick and pointed at Vorog, Rostov and Baku above Odessa. .

"My brother, look at these three places. Our first stage is to occupy Rostov, the general railway hub of the Soviet Union. This is the confluence point of the three railways. Materials and troops from the depths of the Soviet Union will pass through here to Moscow. Another important reason is that Baku's oil can be transported to Moscow by two railway lines, one is through Rostov, the other is through Stalingrad, and we will use it immediately after taking Rostov The railway system, divided troops to occupy the Baku oil-producing area of ​​the Soviet Union. This Baku area is the key to the success or failure of the first stage of our Barbarossa plan. In order to achieve this strategic plan, we gave up some offensive goals to complete our occupation of Baku. .

Now 40.00% of the troops of our Southern Army Group are dragged in Odessa, and only 20% of the total troops are required to complete this task. The troops are not enough, because I have to mobilize not only two armored divisions, but also 35 troops. Infantry, support our deep assault plan, and the strength we use to attack Odessa is about 30, which I think is completely enough. You can also draw the other [-] EU troops at will. What do you think, my deputy Commander. "

Rommel understood what Zhang Jun meant. The Soviet oil-producing area in Baku was what Zhang Jun was most concerned about. The success of this mission was also a sign of the success of the Southern Army Group's offensive plan. Once the Soviet Union lost Baku region, it will lose a large amount of oil sources. Although there are many oil-producing regions in the Soviet Union, the blow to the Baku region is also very obvious.The Soviet Union is likely to face a short-term oil panic.

In 1940, Baku's oil production reached its peak, and its output accounted for 71.5% of the total output of the Soviet Union at that time.There are many oil fields in the Soviet Union that have only begun to drill, but have not been exploited. As long as Germany occupies Baku, it will take at least a period of time for the Soviet Union to increase its oil production to meet its own strategic needs. This shows the importance of Baku to Germany and the Soviet Union. sex.

The Baku area is not the traditional territory of the Soviet Union. In the 18th century, Baku was the capital of the Baku Khanate.Since then, it has been in contact with Tsarist Russia.In 1803, an agreement was signed with the compromising Khan of Baku, but it was soon annulled. On February 1806, 2, Baku Khan was stabbed to death by the Russians in front of the city gate. After that, Baku surrendered and merged into Russia. In 8, Russia and Persia signed the Treaty of Gulistan, formally annexing the Caucasus region including Baku.

In the 19s, Baku began industrial oil extraction. At the end of the 70th century, it became the industrial center of the Transcaucasus and a world-famous oil base. With 19 major oil refining bases, the oil industry was developed. In 22, the socialist Baku Commune was established. In 1917, it became the capital of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1920, because Azerbaijan joined the Transcaucasian Federation, and the federation joined the Soviet Union, the capital of Azerbaijan became Tbilisi during this period. After 1922, it became the capital of Azerbaijan again.

As long as Zhang Jun can win Baku, the implementation of a divided and loose ethnic policy will soon make the local people abandon the Soviet Union and turn to the embrace of the European Union.

"Okay, I agree with the commander-in-chief's plan. Let's keep 35 SS troops in Odessa and use more cannons at the same time. We can't delay our main strategic mission in the first phase because of Odessa."

Zhang Jun walked to Rommel's side, stretched out his hand, and held Rommel tightly together. The brothers were united and worked together to break the gold.

Paul Hausser-Empire, Theodore Ike-Skeleton Army.Was drawn to the northern section as the main task.Paul and Ike were named deputy commanders of the northern sector.Coordinate the actions of various departments.Their mission will not be over until the SS takes Baku and Zhang Jun orders the revocation of the northern section of the attack group. Paul and Ike's positions as deputy commanders of the northern section can only be temporary positions.

Zhang Jun in the northern section has settled down. Now Zhang Jun plans to work with Rommel. The two brothers will use 35 German troops to wipe out the 20 Soviet troops in Jiancheng. In order to meet the needs of shells, Zhang Jun ordered 20 taels of trucks to carry all Shells of various calibers were transported overnight to the Odessa front, a distance of 190 kilometers.It can arrive in the middle of the night, just in time to launch the attack tomorrow morning.

……

At 1940:4 on April 20, 6, Stalin received a call from the front, saying that Germany had concentrated more than 500 million troops and launched a full-scale attack on the great Soviet Union. This made Stalin a little unbelievable. Germany It’s not that they are fighting with Britain and France. Why did Germany become entangled in the EU’s army and started to attack the Soviet Union in a blink of an eye? Stalin still didn’t believe such information, and immediately ordered to continue the investigation and report.

Stalin was about to shoot the officer who reported this false information to him, when Stalin's second urgent telegram came like snowflakes.Now Stalin has to believe it if he doesn't believe it. Germany and the Soviet Union have just signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact".This made Stalin unable to accept this reality anyway, but Stalin was a ruthless hero after all, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and urgently called a high-level military meeting.

Participants are:

Budyonny Marshal of the Soviet Union 1935 Deputy Defense People's Commissar, Commander-in-Chief, Cavalry Commander, Director of the General Inspection Group of the Ministry of Defense

Shaposhnikov Marshal of the Soviet Union 1940 Chief of the General Staff, People's Commissar of Defense, Director of the Military Academy of the General Staff

Kulik Marshal of the Soviet Union 1940 Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, Head of the General Armament Department, Deputy Head of the Department of Formation and Replenishment of the Soviet Army

General Beria

General Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov

General Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov

General Ivan Stepanovich Konev

……

The two veteran marshals in front were trusted by Stalin, so they were not purged. There is also Marshal Timoshenko in Odessa, and there is no way to come to the meeting today. The next few generals were promoted by Stalin himself. A generation of commanders, I have to say that although Stalin was a cruel man, he had his own unique sensitivity in the selection and recognition of military talents. In the future, the Soviet Union will be the pillar of the sky, otherwise the Soviet Union would have collapsed long ago.

It was almost 12 noon when all the personnel arrived, and now the situation on the front line is almost understood. The huge Soviet military map behind the conference room is full of various arrows, and on it are various huge red arrows pointing to the Soviet Union. Vital place.

"Ahem...Everyone talk about their own opinions. The German fascists entangled 500 million to 800 million troops and launched a full-scale attack on the great and sacred Soviet Union. The situation is very critical now. Do you have any suggestions? Tell me Look, you're an elite Soviet commander."

When Stalin finished asking with a gloomy face, everyone was silent, because everyone couldn't figure out what Stalin was planning. In the end, old Marshal Budyonny made an ambiguous suggestion:

"Comrade Stalin, what instructions do you have? Under your wise leadership, we must defeat the invading German invaders. If you have any instructions, give orders, and we promise to implement them to the letter."

Isn’t there no way for Stalin? Otherwise, with Stalin’s personality, he would come to ask you, how good are you, Budyonny? With an angry face, he began to call Zhukov to talk about his views.

Zhukov has demonstrated his excellent commanding skills in the Far East, beating hundreds of thousands of small Japanese troops to the ground. If Stalin was not in a hurry to build the Eastern Line of Defense, Zhukov would almost have invaded the three northeastern provinces... (unfinished to be continued..)
