Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1251 Military Wizard
"Father, I"

Guan Xuqing stopped him with a wave of his hand: "This is not my decision, but the decision of the people of the empire. If this battle is won, the empire will have 100 years of peace. If it fails, the empire will never recover. All my efforts in the past will be in vain. For nothing, for the sake of the empire, for the sake of me, you must agree."

"But, I don't want to kill people, I don't want to participate in bloody wars, I don't want to"

Guan Xuqing came to his son, his eyes were full of love, and he patted Pu Yin on the shoulder: "Son, I hope you understand that this world has never been truly peaceful. Looking at the modern history of China, we can see that China, an ancient civilization, has suffered a lot of bullying and oppression. If we want to rise and gain the respect of others, we must become strong and let everyone in the world understand that China is a giant, it stood in the east of the world in the past, and now it stands in every corner of the world, this is the responsibility that history has entrusted to you, and I believe you will be able to bear it.”

"But why did you choose me instead of someone else?"

"Because you are my son, you are my favorite son!" Having said this, Guan Xuqing's eyes were filled with tears.

Pu Yin stood blankly for a full minute, looking at the white hair on his father's sideburns, he nodded, "Father, I will do my best and never let you down."

Guan Xu laughed loudly, "Hahaha this is my son! Now I will tell you all the plans." He came back to the map, picked up the pointer, and introduced them to Pu Yin one by one.

"Our plan is that the attack will be carried out by three army groups divided into North, Center and South according to direction. Each army group will be supported by an air group. The North army group is the smallest of the three army groups Armored group and two army groups, with a total of 29 divisions, including three armored divisions and four motorized divisions. This group army group will attack from East Rusz via the Baltic States to Stalingrad, and serve as the center of the central The army group is our largest army group, which includes two armored groups and two army groups, with a total of 56 divisions, including [-] armored divisions and nine motorized divisions. The army group plans to start from Bialystok North and south of the salient launched a wide-open pincer offensive: the armored group on the north, the army group from the Suvauki area through the Vilnius Pass, attacked Vitebsk and Smolensk. The armored group on the south The group and the army group will advance from Brest Litovsk along the northern part of the Pripyat Marsh and Smolensk. The northern and southern forces will each have a strong armored force deployed on the outside to protect The two wings of the Central Army Group are ready to be called out at any time. As long as I give an order, they can go north into the Baltic Sea region, or go south into Ukraine.

In the south, Army Group South launched an attack from two divided directions, one from southern Poland and the other from Romania.In Poland, an armored group and an army would attack from the Lublin area south of the Pripyat Marshes towards Kiev and the wider area of ​​the Dnieper, while another army on its right flank would attack Lvov and Vinnitsa .In Romania, there is only one Imperial Army, which will cross the Prut River with Romanian troops and attack Bessarabia and Ukraine.The troops of Army Group South consisted of 47 imperial divisions, including seven armored divisions and six motorized divisions.The equivalent of fourteen divisions of Romanian troops and six divisions of Hungarians also belonged to the formation of Army Group South.In addition to those divisions of the three army groups, 33 Imperial divisions remained in the rear as a reserve for Army Headquarters.In Finland, about eight divisions will be engaged.In total, the Imperial Army on the Eastern Front has a total of 160 divisions, including 29 armored divisions and 23 motorized divisions. The allies of the empire also provided the equivalent of forty divisions.The Imperial Panzer Divisions totaled about 550 tanks, only [-] more than when they attacked France.To the number of [-] tanks, add about [-] tracked armored assault guns.

Considering that the British Army did not have many divisions to launch an amphibious offensive, and there were not many landing craft to transport troops, the number of field divisions with lower readiness levels in Western Europe may have exceeded the actual number.Thirty-eight divisions were stationed in imperial-occupied France and Flanders, one in Denmark, seven in Norway, seven in the Balkans, and two in North Africa.The Imperial Air Force on the Eastern Front has more than 38 first-line combat aircraft, including about 1 fighter jets.More than [-] aircraft remained on the Western Front for home defense and combat against Britain.All in all, the strategy of the "Scorpion Project" is based on tactics to achieve surprise, encircle and annihilate the Soviet troops near the border between Germany and Romania on the spot, and prevent them from slipping through the net.

Army Group North will encircle and annihilate the enemies of the Baltic states, and together with the Poles capture Stalingrad to eliminate the enemies in the north.The Central Army Group will march bravely to Minsk and the Orsha land bridge to encircle and suppress Bai's enemies.Then draw about half of the armored troops to support the Northern Army Group, clear the Baltic Sea and Stalingrad enemies, while the other reserve team is on standby to enter Ukraine.In Ukraine, Army Group South will occupy Kiev and the crossings of the Dnieper River, cutting off the enemy's retreat.I estimate that before September, we will be able to successfully wipe out the main force of the Soviet Union in the west, and then the troops will continue to push forward on the front line.Before the Soviet Union's strategic reserves were assembled, they won Rostov and Murmansk in one go.Thus ending the entire war.What do you think of this plan?Or is there a flaw? "

"Father, I don't think this plan is very good!" Guan Xuqing was very surprised by Pu Yin's answer, Pu Yin pointed to the map and said to Father: "Although this plan looks good, there are three problems. First, the task of the Northern Army Group is too heavy." Speaking of this, he pointed to the north of the map, and then said: "Although the Baltic Navy District of the Soviet Union has only two army groups, about twenty divisions, and two motorized corps, However, due to the poor road conditions in the northern area, and the lack of sufficient armored troops in this army group, it is impossible for them to encircle the Soviet army in the north, and at most they can only drive them out of the three Baltic countries. The main force of the Soviet army They will not be wiped out. They can calmly withdraw to Stalingrad to organize defense. However, in this way, it is a very serious problem for us to quickly capture Stalingrad. Second, the problem of marching and supply of the Central Army Group.

From Brest-Biastovik to the Minsk region, there are a large number of virgin forests and the huge Pripyat swamp. The roads here are very important to us.How to control the road entrances and exits through the large forest in front of the Central Army Group is a very serious problem.In a large-scale mobile battle, it must be particularly difficult to provide supplies to advancing troops at great distances.First of all, it is impossible to rely on the railway network, because the railways have to be replaced by standard gauge instead of wide gauge.Air transport capacity is negligible, and almost all of them have to rely on transport vehicles, supplemented by locally available means of transportation, but how far these vehicles can travel in this kind of road conditions is also a headache.The last point is the problem of the enemy in the south. The Soviet army has invested heavily in the southwest, and the task of the Southern Army Group is really a bit heavy.They could not have wiped out so many Soviet troops. After finishing speaking, Pu Yin raised his head and glanced at his father: "So, it is impossible to completely wipe out the Soviet army in September. "

Guan Xuqing shook his head slightly: "I think it is possible. We should look at the last World War. At that time, the situation of the Germans was much worse than ours now. In the west they fought against Britain and France, but Hitler Only 20% of the German forces were used to completely wipe out the main force of the Soviets, thus forcing them to sign a peace treaty. Now, our forces are much stronger than the Germans at that time, and we have no opponents in the west If we compete with each other, if we fail, it will be really ridiculous."

"Father, you can't say that." Pu Yin seriously retorted: "The current Soviet Union is not as good as before. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not voluntarily surrender, and we have greatly underestimated the Soviet Union in central and eastern Europe. The existing troops, and the troops that can be recruited. In fact, we do not even understand the huge changes in the appearance of these areas. The villages of 20 years ago have become large industrial cities. Fertile field. In addition, the Soviet Red Army’s fighting will has also become very strong. According to the examples of the Soviet-Finnish War, Soviet soldiers rarely surrendered under certain circumstances, and they would persist for a long time until they ran out of ammunition and food. If we successfully encircle them, at some point, they will desperately fight back, and our losses will be huge. At the same time, we will waste a lot of time. At this time, the follow-up troops of the Soviets are ready. They It will keep holding us back until it drags us into autumn, and the mud in autumn will hinder our progress even more. At that time, the goal of the Soviets will be achieved. We will finally be caught in an endless war of attrition , until the final failure."

"What if we focus on the south and concentrate our forces to take Ukraine?" Guan Xuqing said suddenly after being silent for a while: "The Donets Basin is very important because of the concentration of the arms industry. Oil, grain, coal, and iron ore are all here. The oil produced there, the oil produced in the Caucasus accounted for 80% of the Soviet oil, as long as this place is captured, the Soviets will lose their offensive blood and surrender to us.”
