"Is the fuel safe?"Guderian said hurriedly after defeating the Soviet Fifth Guards Tank Army.

"It's all safe. We've sent an armored regiment to guard it. There's absolutely no problem. The operations staff immediately replied.

The operations staff also knew the importance of fuel, so when they took over the fuel point, they immediately sent an armored regiment to guard it personally.

""Good, well done, how many barrels of fuel do you have?" Guderian asked immediately.

The Soviet Army was not the first country in the world to use diesel tanks. The first country to use diesel engines was Japan.

Japan developed its first generation of tanks, the Type 89 medium tank, based on the FT-17 light tank that was eliminated by France, and also used the popular gasoline engine at the time.

But it didn't take long for Japan to find that the air-cooled diesel engine produced by Mitsubishi far exceeded the water-cooled gasoline engine currently used in performance. Therefore, in 1934, Japan used an air-cooled diesel engine on the improved Type 89 medium tank, which was the world's first tank to use a diesel engine.

Although Japan was the first to use a diesel engine, due to the excellent performance of the T34 This also makes its reputation far surpass that of the original tanks, which has also led to the T34 taking away all the titles now.

So many people think that the Soviet army is the first country in the world to use diesel tanks.

As for why diesel engines are used, because gasoline is a flammable and dangerous substance, tanks often cannot fight because of engine fires.

Even the powerful German army could not avoid this. Fortunately, most of the armored divisions led by Guderian are Type 54 tanks, and they all use diesel engines. This is why Guderian asked how many barrels of diesel there are here as soon as he came up.

If it is all gasoline, then everything is in vain. Of course, it’s not that it can’t be used, but if it is used, it will stall and then clean the engine.

Normally no one will add it wrong because the cost is too high.

930 guns have about three thousand barrels of fuel, including 1,800 barrels of diesel and 1,200 barrels of gasoline."The combat staff quickly gave the number

"Too little, only enough to fill up one armored division."Guderian sighed.

If the 3,000 barrels were all diesel, he might be happy for a while, but a lot of them were gasoline, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"There should be a fuel storage point nearby. With so many Soviet tanks, there must be more than one fuel storage point. Immediately spread out the troops to look for fuel."Guderian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he immediately said

"Yes!"

Immediately, the German 1st Armored Division stopped the pursuit and all of them were dispersed to find fuel storage points.

As for why they were so sure that there were other storage points, it was actually very easy to understand, that is, the Soviet army's logistics was really much better than that of the German army.

Although their combat effectiveness was average, it had to be admitted that their logistics was indeed much stronger than that of the German army.

Relying on the large oil field of Baku, fuel was openly supplied, and they didn't care too much about loss at all.

So there must be more than one fuel storage point nearby, and there must be many fuel storage points. Even this storage point was only enough for one armored division to refuel, and each German front was a tank army with thousands of tanks, so Guderian had reason to believe that there must be fuel storage points nearby.

Maybe the Soviet army buried these fuel storage points in other places. After all, many people in modern times can dig up all kinds of guns and ammunition in the mountains and forests.

"Do you think we can really find the fuel?" A German grenadier searched cautiously and said to his companions behind him.

Hearing this, his companion not far behind him replied:"Who knows, maybe we can find it?"

"How could they possibly find it? Do you really think the Soviets are fools? They just hide it so casually? It must be hidden in a well-kept place."The grenadiers screamed immediately.

"Maybe he is just a fool, who knows."The companion said unhappily.

Hearing this, the grenadier decided not to argue with him. If things go wrong, how can you defend yourself?

So the few of them continued to move forward. To be honest, there was actually no one here. The Soviet army had already fled.

"Hey, why do you see traces of trucks here?" A soldier who was searching said in surprise.

Hearing this, many people looked over and saw that there were indeed many traces of trucks on the ground.

The only explanation for so many traces of trucks in such a deep forest is that there should be a Soviet logistics warehouse or ammunition depot here. In any case, it is also a major discovery."Go, search and see if you can find anything." The German second lieutenant who led the team said after thinking for a while.

In any case, there must be some secrets for the traces of trucks here.

Soon, several people came to a small cave, and the second lieutenant officer who led the team immediately said

"Send a telegram to the company commander and tell him we have made a major discovery."

"Yes!" The signalman saluted immediately.

"Let's go in and see what secrets the Soviets have here."

As the lieutenant said, a group of German soldiers walked into the cave. What caught their eyes were a dazzling array of guns.

Most of them were water-linked guns, and a few were foreign products.

"It turned out to be a melon grenade, and it was written on it that it was made in the United States."The company commander was a little surprised.

In fact, it was very simple. Many of the materials here were supplied by the US military. There was no way to rely on the Soviet army's limited production capacity.

If you want to supply tens of millions of troops for daily consumption, it is not a problem that the Soviet army can solve on its own.

"Hey, these are all ours. The wooden-handled grenades are used up, so let's try the melon grenades."A German soldier said excitedly.

"Okay, don't get excited, go and look for any fuel." The German lieutenant ordered at this time.

Not long after, a grenadier ran over excitedly and said:"We've made a fortune, platoon leader, we've made a fortune."

Hearing about making a fortune, all the German soldiers' eyes sparkled, and under the leadership of the platoon leader, they all ran deep into the cave.

When they saw the densely packed oil barrels inside, everyone was excited. The platoon leader took a quick look and saw at least 5,000 barrels of fuel, maybe more.

"We are rich, we are rich, this time each of us will definitely get an Iron Cross."The platoon leader said excitedly.

Hearing this, the other German soldiers were also very happy. They were a newly formed unit, and many of them did not have an Iron Cross. Now that they heard that everyone would have an Iron Cross, they could raise their chests when they saw the old soldiers in the future.

"Yay, finally an Iron Cross"

"I will definitely send it home so my parents can see how great their son is."

"Me too."

For new soldiers, the greatest honor is the recognition from the army. An Iron Cross is the greatest recognition for them.

"Hurry up and inform the company commander that we have made a fortune. The platoon leader, who had already gotten over his excitement, immediately said to them:

"Yes!"

Soon, several reconnaissance units searched nearby, and many teams found material storage points, some storing oil, some storing ammunition, and some storing food and the like. What's more, they even found a lot of military uniforms.

After dividing the various material points, Guderian saw that the fuel oil found reached 16,000 barrels, including 10,000 barrels of diesel and 6,000 barrels of gasoline. The rest of the weapons, ammunition, food and military uniforms were enough to arm three infantry divisions, and he couldn't help but sigh.

""What a rich guy!" Guderian was envious of the 10,000 barrels of diesel alone, which could at least allow five armored divisions to run hundreds of kilometers.

A barrel of oil contains about 160 liters of diesel, and a Type 59 tank consumes about 300 liters of oil per 100 kilometers on a dirt road. Basically, one barrel of oil is enough for a Type 59 tank to run 50 kilometers.

Here are 10,000 barrels of diesel, enough for Guderian to run freely.

Thinking of this, Guderian felt a surge of excitement, finally being able to run freely.

"Bring up the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Armored Divisions, refuel them immediately, and charge forward. Guderian waved his hand and decisively dispatched five more armored divisions to rush towards the Soviet positions.

"yes!"

…………

Soon, Lieutenant General Rove learned from the scouts why the Germans stopped.

"You bastards, why don't you blow up the fuel point?"Lieutenant General Rove roared angrily. He knew the power of the German tanks. Now that they have so much oil, their strength will definitely increase greatly. Maybe they can chase them for hundreds of kilometers.

""Commander, the Germans attacked too fast. We were attacked before we could detonate the fuel point, so we had no choice but to retreat." The operations staff explained bitterly. He also knew that it would be troublesome for the Germans to get this batch of fuel.

"Trash, all of them are trash."Lieutenant General Rove cursed angrily. He naturally knew that the German army was short of oil. In the previous wars, the German tanks were short of oil, which resulted in a small number of tanks participating in the war. Relying on the large number, they defeated the German tank forces.

In fact, he also knew that once the German army was not short of oil, their tank forces would burst out with powerful combat effectiveness. Their performance was originally stronger than theirs, and their combat quality was also high. If they were not short of oil, they would be invincible.

At this time, the chief of staff next to him interrupted and said,"Commander, don't worry too much. The fuel we store is all diesel, with only a small amount of gasoline, and the German tanks are all gasoline engines, so they don't have much supplies."

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Rove seemed to remember something, and his expression improved. He immediately said,"Yes, the German tanks are all gasoline, and they don't have much supplies. No matter what, retreat first. There are no supporting troops on the two wings, and I am very worried."

It was Lieutenant General Rove's negligence that led to the subsequent disastrous defeat and even annihilation.

"yes!"

……

August, who was far away in Berlin, was reading the intelligence sent back from the Eastern Front. After reading the battle records of Manstein and Guderian, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Basically, August sent all the new weapons he got to the Eastern Front. Fuel-explosive bombs, Scud missiles, rockets of various calibers, etc. were all dispatched there. At this time, his secret base had been almost used up.

Although a lot of weapons were purchased, they were actually consumed very quickly.

At this time, there were already four million troops on the Eastern Front. The bullets consumed every day were calculated in tens of millions, and the grenades consumed were also in the hundreds of thousands.

Not to mention rockets, which were so effective that the front-line generals didn't know how to save them when using them. Anyway, there were many transport planes now, and if they were gone, they would be transported. If August hadn't sent three telegrams in a row, asking the front-line troops to restrain themselves, the battle would probably have been over long ago.

"These bastards, the inventory is almost gone." August held the list in his hand, his heart bleeding.

"It's true that when a cannon is fired, a ton of gold will come. No wonder even a big country like the M Empire has been beaten into heavy debt. It really can't afford to fight modern wars. If some advanced weapons come later, it will probably go bankrupt."

Fortunately, the gold promised by the book is on the way, and it is under the banner of Switzerland. The Allies will not attack easily. After all, many people's wealth is in Switzerland now. They are afraid of offending Switzerland, and then the money will be gone.

August even wanted them to sink these transport ships, so that he could win over Switzerland with good reason. You know, the money in their bank is enough for August to arm millions more troops.

After sighing, August looked at the list again and murmured,"It looks like we need to add another batch of weapons and ammunition, as well as oil drilling equipment. We have to expand production. That little production is not enough to consume."

An aircraft carrier is a big oil consumer, not to mention other warships, carrier-based aircraft, jet fighters, bombers, nearly 10,000 tanks, tens of thousands of trucks, armored vehicles, and the newly emerging civilian cars. The daily consumption is an astronomical figure. Only Speer is capable. If it were someone else, he would have collapsed long ago._Faloo reminds you: Three things to do when reading - ∪Collect, recommend, and share!
