my head

"Long live the head of state, your decision is extremely noble and correct. My loyalty to the head of state can be seen in the sun and the moon, and the sky can learn from it. As for the great and holy head of state who let me command the French campaign, I am also grateful for the trust in the head of state. I will pledge my honor to bring great victories and great honor to Germany."

"Okay, okay, my little carrot, I have no doubts in your ability, tell me about your request, and I will do my best to meet your request."

"Long live the Führer, to achieve the goal of the French campaign, I need 300 million troops. The 200 million Wehrmacht troops deployed in front of the Maginot Line and the 100 million SS troops we have just formed are exactly 300 million, which can be used to carry out the war." The French campaign plan, but such a number of our internal emptiness, we need to transfer about 100 million troops from the Soviet Union back to Germany for mobile use. The excuse for these troops to return to the country is to rest. We can use the rotation system, which can also be used It is a decision to kill two birds with one stone, so that the soldiers on the front line can get enough vacation opportunities, and at the same time, let Germany have a reserve force.

The arrangement of the troops is related to some arrangements in the Soviet Union. The great head of state, as you know, the Army Group South has a total of 100 million SS troops. It is beyond the capabilities of the SS to encircle Moscow, but at this time Germany no longer has any troops to reinforce the Army Group South, so I want to use the SS troops of some of the EU countries that we have joined. The quality of the troops needs to be improved, but they hate the Stalinist regime very much, and they can still fight desperately.Besides, I also arrange for them to defend.This will make up for the shortage of our troops. "

The second half of what Zhang Jun said.Not only did it resolve the problem of insufficient SS troops, but it also allowed Hitler to agree with Zhang Jun to use the Ukrainian SS and Russian SS in a legitimate way, and now it also includes the Georgia SS, Azerbaijan SS, these four SS The total strength of the army has exceeded 150 million. Zhang Jun only needs to deploy these SS troops in front of Stalingrad for defense. Zhang Jun can completely defend against Stalin by leaving 20 SS troops as the mobile force of these troops. A possible attack from the direction of Gele.

"Good. I agree with you."

……

Zhang Jun successfully resolved the crisis faced by the SS with a brand new plan, but Zhang Jun's crime of falsifying strategic documents, if the incident happened, it would be a heinous crime. Of course, if Germany wins, it will be fine. , It all depends on how the French campaign commanded by Zhang Jun is going.

The specific plan of the "French Campaign" was of course refined and detailed by the professional staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters. The detailed plans formulated by these staff officers were of course based on Zhang Jun's French campaign plan.

Although Zhang Jun did not participate in the detailed work of the plan, it was not easy for Zhang Jun. Now Zhang Jun has been authorized by the head of state.All the manpower and financial resources can be mobilized to prepare the French campaign plan. Of course, the stored tanks and planes produced during this period were all taken away by Zhang Jun.Zhang Jun did not send these weapons to the SS, but to the Wehrmacht. The weapons and equipment of the SS mainly come from Poland and Ukraine. There would be too much backlash, because those tanks and planes Zhang Jun did indeed give to the Wehrmacht.

Model was temporarily seconded to the Stalingrad front line, and his position was the commander of the Stalingrad front line. Among the German generals in World War II, Manstein, Guderian, and Rommel were representatives of the German offensive generals. At the same time, there were also masters of defensive warfare. Walter Model is one of the best.In the later period of the war, Model appeared wherever there was a crisis. He was deeply used by Hitler, and he turned the tide many times to delay the demise of the Nazis.Known as a 'defensive genius' because of his excellent defensive ability.Model is generally regarded as a master of defense and the most capable general in Nazi Germany in the late World War II. When he was promoted to marshal, there were 15 generals in the Central Army Group who had higher qualifications than him.Model won the honor of defensive master because he commanded three defensive battles on the Eastern Front, including the Rzhev salient.

At the same time, Model was also a person who dared to fight for the truth. During the "Typhoon" operation, Model had a quarrel with Hitler for the first time. On January 1, Model flew to "Wolf's Lair" and asked for an additional army support.Although Hitler agreed to the reinforcements, he ordered the army to gather at Gzatsk, northeast of Vyazma. Model insisted that the counter-offensive breakthrough area should be selected in Rzhev, and the reinforcements must be assembled there.The two quarreled fiercely over this.Disgusted by Hitler's blind intervention in the Army Group, Model sneered: "Who is commanding the Ninth Army, my Führer, you or me?" He was confident that he knew the situation on the front lines better than Hitler, who relied only on maps.Hitler was shocked and finally agreed to Model's plan.Model believes that if a commander loses autonomy and is tied to orders, at best he can only fight smooth battles, but he can never win tough or bad battles.

Of course, Zhang Jun will not interfere with Model's command. Zhang Jun only needs to take 150 newly formed Ukrainian SS, Russian SS, Georgian SS, Azerbaijan SS, a total of 150 million people plus the German party The mobile force of the Guards is 20, including one armored army, which can be handed over to Model.

As for Rommel, the deputy commander-in-chief, there are more important tasks. Originally, Rommel was an offensive general, while Model was a defensive general.Rommel temporarily commanded all the troops of the Southern Army Group on the entire Soviet front, and Rommel himself led the German SS with 75 people, plus more than 30 European Union troops, and attacked the south of Moscow along the Rostov railway. The gateway to Ryazan, after occupying Ryazan, sent troops to the north to attack the two cities of Gorky and Ivanovo. The distance from Ryazan to Ivanovo was about 600 kilometers. Of course, the SS could not deploy a continuous line of defense, but The SS has a powerful armored force, and it is completely possible to arrange circular fortifications that are not far apart. The armored force is the link between them.It is also impossible to do so.

This kind of continuous and distanced circular fortification has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can block the Soviet army attacking from all directions. The disadvantage is that the SS must ensure sufficient armored mobile forces. At the same time, the air force must at least obtain armored forces that can protect itself advantage, this is the minimum requirement.

For Vincent's dead game, Zhang Jun still has arrangements. Although Vincent's more than [-] SS troops are the sharp knives that Zhang Jun and Rommel inserted into the Soviet Union to attract Soviet troops and firepower, Zhang Jun I still don't intend to give up, and I must try my best to help Vincent.

Soon Zhang Jun started to take action, mobilizing all 29 B-29 strategic bombers in Germany. Although Germany imitated the B-100 very early, only more than 29 have been produced so far. All of these B-29s have been embezzled By the way, it is either an air early warning aircraft or an air refueling aircraft, so Germany always only has [-] b-[-] aircraft for transportation and bombing missions.

It's not that Germany's production capacity is not enough, but Germany's resources cannot build b-29s on a large scale. Germany must use limited resources to build other aircraft, such as "Six Lords" and copycat Type 99 tanks.

Another thing that makes Zhang Jun happy is that the German aerial refueling technology has also made breakthroughs. The "Six Masters" of an aviation regiment modified by Germany that can carry out aerial refueling can already perform combat missions. This surprise came so suddenly , Zhang Jun has been working on aerial refueling aircraft since 37, and has been engaged in it for three years, and the origin of aerial refueling technology is relatively early.

Aerial refueling began with the daring act of an adventurer. In 1921, American Willie May, carrying a 20-liter aviation oil tank on his back, climbed from the wing of an aircraft to the wing of another aircraft in flight, and poured the tank of aviation oil into into the fuel tank of the machine.Since then, this has stimulated the enthusiasm of human beings to study aerial refueling technology.Two years later, the first aerial tanker was born in the United States. On August 1923, 8, the first aerial refueling test in the history of human aviation was completed over the San Diego Bay in the United States.At that time, two planes were flying in formation, and a hose more than 27 meters long was hanging from the plane flying above the front. The pilot in the rear seat of the plane behind stood up and grabbed the hose with his hand, and connected it to his own plane's fuel tank. In fact, the whole process is entirely manual.

How can Zhang Jun not be overjoyed now that he has finally made it through? You must know that the UK has developed the "Meteor" jet aircraft, and the United States has developed the P59 jet aircraft. The jet aircraft can easily fly to more than 1 meters At high altitudes, the ceiling of the b-29 is only 10500 meters. In this case, even if the defense of the b-29 is super strong, it is by no means an opponent of jet aircraft. The German b-29 cannot withstand huge losses. This is a strategic deterrent weapon that Germany attaches great importance to.

It's all right now, with the "Sixth Master" who has the ability to refuel in the air to escort these precious bumps, Zhang Jun can guarantee that the whole of Europe will be within the bombing range of his b-29, not to mention the British mainland, and even Africa and the Middle East. Both the British and French bases are within the bombing range of the b-29.

Upon hearing the good news, Zhang Jun quickly ordered to speed up the modification and training, so that more "Liu Ye" can be refueled in the air, and the "Liu Ye" produced in the future will also be produced in full accordance with the technical standards that can be refueled in the air.

Zhang Jun mobilized 29 B-[-]s and a "Six Master" aviation regiment that can refuel in the air, and began to prepare to send weapons and ammunition to Vincent. As for the supplementary troops, Zhang Jun will also send some to make up for Vincent's losses. Just go up... (To be continued..)
